The cold winter wind raged in the valley in the north of the vast R County, where the smoke column of the burned corpses of the defeated zombies in the south had not yet dispersed, and the burning corpses could be seen everywhere in the fields, ditches, at the foot of the mountains, and at the edge of the woods that had been felled down, and the large and small vehicles were constantly moving on the edge, piling up the corpses of the zombies collected from more distant areas to the burning site, and most of the busy crowd were those prisoners wearing shackles, their origins did not need to be detailed, most of them were just those unsuccessful rebelsThe winter cold didn't seem to affect their work in the slightest, they just took the corpses off the vehicle so mechanically, and then hooked the part of the corpse with a special belt and dragged it a short distance to the burning pit, and without looking, they threw it into the still smoking pit - the ashes in it would be very good fertilizer, and the next year's sowing would depend on them! Their ragged faces were haggard, and their earth-gray faces originally showed a depressed complexion, but now with the smoke and fire, and the black soot, the whole group became even more difficult to identify, even the soldiers who were watching with their heads and faces covered, covered in soot and sticking to their bodies, and if it weren't for the helmets and guns, they were almost indistinguishable from the toiling prisoners below.

"Welcome, ahem, although in this case, Patrolman Yakov, we are very grateful for your visit. This is the place of death, the final destination of all the living dead. An officer wearing a staff officer's badge saluted in front of the visiting horse team, his shoulders and military hat were covered with thick soot, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the ashes of a corpse or the ashes of firewood, and the burning crater was fifty meters behind him, like the pit of hell. Yakov frowned, and the old general didn't say much, but symbolically returned a military salute and looked at the column of smoke that kept rising in the distance. "As you can see, these corpse piles are so large that a certain department of the General Staff has ordered us to hurry up and dispose of them, otherwise a potential plague will cause unexpected losses." The staff officer explained patiently: "We have transferred 1,500 laborers from the prison camp, as well as half of the soldiers of the Eighth Death Regiment who have not made meritorious contributions, and there are probably 1,000 people, plus the manpower organized by the county, a total of more than 4,000 people participated in the clean-up work here, and the progress of the work is still very fast, and in another half a month, we believe ,,,," Yakov pulled up the mask on his chin, and the whole person became like a Jiangyang thief, and he waved his hand to stop the officer, and asked very briefly: "Why don't you use engineering vehicles?" Isn't it even more efficient? "The staff officer was dumbfounded, that is, in front of this veteran who was easier to talk, they dared to be so bold a little;" You have a lot of things to do, and you don't know the details of some work for a while. Pointing to the busy crowd, the staff officer said: "There are enough laborers in the rocks, mines, and lumberyards in the mountains, and it is impossible for the arsenal to have these people who have committed crimes. And the diesel fuel that can be used as fuel has now been completely controlled by the military department, and cannot be used in civilian use, as a patrol officer, you should have understood, right? "Yakov usually does more in the army, and at most, a group of deputy officials under him are responsible for specific suitability, and now that he is here, it is reasonable not to understand the Tao." I received an order from the R County Government to inspect the situation nearby, what about your sir? There he is? Yakov was slightly displeased, "Report to the chief, Brigade Commander Niu is in the pine forest in front, now, it is estimated that it is time to prepare for lunch, or shall I inform you first?" "No need, I'll go over by myself, you guys keep busy!" Dozens of guards trotted behind him to catch up with Yakov and leave the smoke-filled crematorium.

"What the fuck, why is it so hard to get such a dirty job! It's frustrating! "Scolding, Niu Keshen slapped the various traces left by the smoke and fire on his body, and scolded loudly, several guards around him knew that Brigade Commander Niu was unhappy, and they didn't dare to provoke him, except for silently taking the coat and weapons for him, they kept a silent posture." What about Zhang Guanglin? And Xiang Yong, how many of them are there? Go tell those bunnies to roll over! The Japanese thief, don't patronize the work, don't even eat? "It's not good to be in a bad mood, Niu Keshen still takes great care of a few capable cadres under him. In order to block the artificial "haze" that covers the sky and the sun outside, a lot of tents have long been set up in the grove, and as a formal brigade commander, the special treatment is still understandable, even under the current difficult conditions. However, after a short while, there was movement outside, and several officers who were also blackened with smoke entered the tent after being informed. All of them have bitter faces, except for the blinking of their eyes, they can tell that they are people, and none of them look like people! "Brigade commander, here we are," the officers hurriedly stood up and saluted as soon as they entered the tent. "Wash your face first, your own brother, salute a fart!" Niu Keshen angrily pointed to the few basins that the guards had just brought in, and when the officers finished cleaning, one by one they lost the grimace of "dusty and smoky, with pale temples and black fingers", and they were sitting around the food on the table without saying a word. "What's wrong? Usually all of them are like fleas, and I can't wait to lift the quilt upside down, seeing that Lao Tzu is in a bad mood today, and he is pretending to be a grandson? "Niu is too lazy to be polite to his brothers, they are all township parties who fled from the DPO village with him, and the old brothers who have suffered so much are loyal to themselves, where does Niu Caoshen not know that these bastards beat those little Jiujiu in their hearts." If you have something to say, just fart! You're still not big men? With a snap, Niu Hu slapped his face on the table, spilling a pot of vegetable soup.

Looking at where Niu was snorting angrily for a while, a bold officer said: "Brother Niu, brothers, they are all of the same heart as you, is it possible, will you still be angry with us?" Yes? The cow didn't speak, the two shiny cheeks were bulging like toads, their eyes were looking at the sky, as if there were beautiful women on them, their mouths were pouting, and they could hang a few of them if they wanted to replace them with military kettles! Niu glanced at the officer angrily - that was He Kuanglong, who had been following him the most energetic in killing zombies on the way to escape, and picked up his ability, this militia squad leader back then was indeed a good hand, not only did he excel in his strength, but also made a good stick in his hand, and he was also quite famous in the township back then! Seeing that his eldest brother didn't speak, He Kuanglong had the courage to continue: "Brother, you extinguish the fire, you see, this is the marmot that I brought to you after running in the field for a few hours with my own hands, no, the cook has put in real effort, and used more stir-fried dog ingredients (abbreviated as the ingredients for local cooking dog meat), look at it, really, it is so fragrant that my saliva is about to fall!" As he spoke, the officer placed a brown paper bag on the table, and when it was opened, a strong fragrance permeated the room! Niu Keshen's complexion loosened a little. Everyone looked at the door and hurried to continue to be courteous. Zhang Guanglin gave everyone a breath early in the morning, saying that Brigade Commander Niu was in a bad mood, and when the time came, he summoned everyone to be smart, no, He Kuanglong opened up the situation, and the remaining officers took out the things they had prepared earlier: a large bag of braised goose meat that was baked so fragrant that the taste was not inferior to that of the marmot meat in front! The four bottles don't know that the heads of the people who were looted from there will immediately wait for good wine--- it is estimated that these guys are not hiding any smuggling! As for the rest of the food, there is no need to go into detail, and it was full of food and was put on the boss's table at once, so that there was no place to make room for the originally prepared dishes! Niu Keshen looked at the filial piety of his subordinates, and his face became softened: "Look at you, you, I will be a dog, yes, I didn't blind my dog eyes." “

"Hehe, Brother Niu, a few brothers, you all know that you are for everyone's good! Don't worry about that, you're a general who is a close friend of the big chief! Zhang Guanglin made a look, and the people were all hot, serving the cups, making wine, using a king-sized wine glass, pouring a glass full of them for their eldest brother, and respectfully delivering it to his old man, usually Niu Keshen was scolded like a grandson in front of the big leader, and now when he came to his brother's side, he could still feel a little respect from his brothers! Niu Keshen felt that the little grievances he suffered before were nothing! "Yes, Brother Niu, you have been wronged, brothers, you all know, a few of us, the mood is the same as you! People say, isn't it? "He Kuanglong's head rises, and naturally he has to comfort his eldest brother a few words." Alas, yes, isn't it just that I don't have the same opinion as those mountain guys! As for that much anger? Our Brother Niu is a big man, at the beginning, but they begged us to stay! "It's, it's, that's right, that's it!" Seeing that Niu was silent, where was he silent, and he recognized everyone's statement, and a few of his subordinates were energetic: "Brother Niu, Brother Yu and a few old brothers have been transferred, and now there are a few of us around you, what is the matter, can't you discuss it with the brothers?" "Yes, as soon as Brother Yu leaves, there will be one less quick-witted person by your side, and there are a few of us, but we all rely on your old hand to pull to have today's day, you can't just pick on it!" Big guys, they're counting on you! "That's right, you are the backbone of everyone, the pillar! Brother Niu, you have to cheer up! Xiang Yong's mouth was stunned for a long time, and he didn't come up with any good words, so he just picked up and talked to the two brothers in front of him to comfort his eldest brother. Niu Keshen stood up, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, looking very worried. Just as he was hesitating, someone spoke again.

"Second aunt and grandmother, I asked an acquaintance." Li Jingmo was also an old man who came over with Niu Keshen, and he was very concerned on the side to see this big brother's face change color for a while, and then he spoke: "Old man, he is not angry with you, he is angry about the matter of the son of the big chief." "Who told you this?" Niu Keshen suddenly came to his senses, his eyes flashed with the brilliance of hope, "I have a few friends, they are all close people around the big chief, relying on them, I only learned after talking to a few old mothers and servants around the big grandmother!" "Oh!!" Niu Keshen patted his head, as if he had suddenly realized, he looked at Li Jingmo as if his heart had been relieved, "Brother Li, I believe your news!" Come, brothers of all families, just toast to the good news that Brother Li Jingmo brought to me! Seeing the sudden change in the attitude of the cow, several old brothers became active, and one by one began to persuade them to drink, and the atmosphere became very warm! After a few rounds of pushing the cup, everyone also got a little drunk, but no one cared about anything, now there is no battle to fight, the Fourth Brigade was punished in disguise and was put on the periphery of R County to do things and could not participate in the celebration of R County, Yakov's military police regiment is not on the near side, in this big New Year's Day, if you don't treat yourself, how can it be a little unreasonable, right? Niu Keshen was especially happy, he still had a trustworthy and capable brother, and he was able to arrange the eyeliner to the big leader? How is it not a skill? Niu loudly greeted a few brothers not to be polite: "Brother Li! Brother admires you, come on, this cup has to be dry, dry! Li Jingmo smiled with a red face, tilted his neck, and drank his share in a big gulp, here, without waiting for Li Jingmo to put down the cup in his mouth, Niu Keshen suddenly pulled out the dagger on his belt, and without waiting for someone to shout, he cut Li Jingmo's throat with a brush! The gushing blood splashed on the table with a thud, and the table was full of food! Make your dishes even more vibrant!

Sudden change! The remaining three officers were stunned, but they didn't touch the weapons they were carrying!

Li Jingmo wanted to make a sound in his throat, but the blood had already poured into his throat, so he could only lie down slowly and weakly, and on the rag next to the table, Niu Keshen wiped the dagger in his hand coldly, his eyes flashed like a hungry wolf who had not eaten for many days in the cold winter! "Hmph, when the fox's tail was finally revealed, I wondered, at the beginning, someone told me about your kid's eating inside and out, and I still didn't believe it! Tsk, now, I believe it! The two night wolves with black masks on their faces walked in silently, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply below zero! Their arrival means that this is a long-planned hoeing operation! "Throw this dog thief out of here, don't dirty everyone's sleeping place! Remember to throw it away! He Kuanglong, Zhang Guanglin, and Xiang Yong's lips were as pale as the corpses in the morgue, and they looked at their eldest brother who was much stranger with a blank face. The Night Wolf team members had long been accustomed to this blood, and dragged Li Jingmo's body out of the barracks, and the long blood stains were thrown all the way, leaving only a shocking bright red landscape!

"You don't have to look at me like this, it's all old brothers, brother, I don't do dark things today! Do you all know about the things in the camp in R County? Niu Keshen stuck the dagger into the table, picked up a large piece of particularly fatty meat, didn't look at it, just put it to his mouth and began to bite, Niu Keshen ate it with a mouth full of oil--- those pieces of meat had Li Jingmo's blood stains on them! But his ferocious eyes did not leave the brothers for a moment, and all the people who were still in this tent were suppressed by this guy who suddenly burst out with infinite anger! The bosses who dare to do the black are often the kind of bosses who are particularly respected! "Brother! I was wrong, brother! I was really wrong! He Kuanglong's feet were soft, just now he was still a tall man of 1.85 meters, and suddenly he was half a cut shorter, he didn't dare to look up at his eldest brother with a sad face, even if he could pull out his weapon at any time and fight back, he didn't have the courage at this moment! The night wolf was nearby, and even if he killed his eldest brother, he would never have a chance to escape the terrible control of that big leader! "Tell me, what is wrong with you?" The cold dagger was put in the right place, ready to shoot at any time, although Niu Keshen has gained a lot of weight, but he is still not inferior to the subordinates who know him. "Brother, I ate the wrong bite of! You let me go! I really know it's wrong, I shouldn't have listened to them, really, I'm wrong, brother! "Here, He Kuanglong, who kowtows like pounding garlic, is sweating like a spring," said, who are they? Xiang Yong and Zhang Guanglin looked at the so-called "old brother" in front of them in shock, and without waiting for Niu Caoshen's command, the two guys picked up the plate next to them with one hand, and without looking at it, they opened the scoop to He Kuanglong, who was kneeling on the ground! Originally, a steaming bowl of sweet potato soup was served not long after it was prepared, and it smashed on He Kuanglong's head, not to mention the ruthlessness, the heat alone scalded the traitor who fell to the ground and screamed like a wolf! Xiang Yong is a short and strong man, he was originally good at kung fu, and he was used to He Kuanglong when he stepped forward, shook off his arms, and slapped him without money with a crackle! That screamed so happily that He Kuanglong was screaming, and even his voice was out of tune! "I call you a brute to betray your eldest brother, and I call you a conscienceless bastard to betray everyone!" Fighting hatred here, Zhang Guanglin picked up the bench, and was about to smash He Kuanglong's stunned head when he lifted it!

"Wait!" After watching for a while, Niu Keshen suddenly roared, making Zhang Guanglin freeze his movements, and turned his head with Xiang Yong, looking at his eldest brother in a daze. "Keep his dog's life, and the people of the Seventh Division will teach him a good lesson!" A night wolf who was waiting next to him was surprised, grabbed He Kuanglong, and in front of Niu Keshen, suddenly twisted He Kuanglong's shoulder and exerted force, causing the prisoner to let out a terrible scream and faint! I dislocated the shoulder of the prisoner with my bare hands! How much effort does it take to do this? Xiang Yong was stunned, he had heard a lot of the deeds of these secret counter-espionage officers, but he had never seen them, and when he saw them this time, he began to wonder if his two-handed and three-legged cat kung fu was qualified to carry the toilet for others! The night wolf didn't even look at the other people in the house, and dragged He Kuanglong, who had fainted, out again.

In the tent, the awkward atmosphere has not yet dissipated, and the smell of horror is still spreading.

Niu Keshen sat upright on the chair, tilted his head, and the fierce light in his eyes did not disappear. Two henchmen, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to speak, and now the two brothers who are close to each other, one dies and one is caught, and there are only two left! Deeply saddened by the death of the rabbit and the fox, they still dare to provoke the murderous big brother. After hesitating for a while, Zhang Guanglin's lips trembled, and he said tremblingly: "Brother, I really didn't do anything other than embezzlement a little thing!" Brother, you believe me, you know me! Niu Keshen didn't reply, and said coldly: "At the beginning, we married Jin Lan and worshiped as brothers of the opposite sex, what was it for?" What is the diagram? Do you remember the oath? "Big brother, what I remember: if you go against your brother's wishes, you will have three cuts and six holes!" Zhang Guanglin's eyes were moist, of course he remembered the past when Niu Keshen, who saved himself and several brothers, led everyone to hold the soil and insert pine branches for the incense case and swore to worship! Niu Keshen suddenly lowered his head, and his voice became choked: "More than a dozen of our brothers have taken refuge in the big chief, if it weren't for the big chief's take-in, if it weren't for his old man's massive single-handed promotion of us, you would have died in that stinky gutter a long time ago, you touch your conscience and say, ah?" Your fucking consciences have been eaten by dogs! "Big brother, don't say it, I know it's wrong, can't I?" Zhang Guanglin half-knelt on the ground, and his face became embarrassed. "You group of unassuming kings and calves, eating what the big leader gave you on your mouth, and wearing the big leader's reward on your body, even the mother-in-law who slept in the nest was rescued by the big leader to see the military merits for you! And what about you? But he is against the big boss everywhere! Look at you, I don't know what to compare to you! The son doesn't think the mother is ugly and the dog doesn't think the family is poor, you say it yourself, are the two of them not even as good as dogs? Yes? You tell me! Gritting his teeth and scolding, Zhang Guanglin didn't dare to raise his head, how could he have the courage to distinguish with his eldest brother with a wrinkled face. Nothing else, I won't talk about it, do you know what happened to the military department? More than half of the middle and high-ranking officials were arrested, huh? Do you still have the guts to eat and drink here, play this game with me? Do you really think that the big boss can just fool around a few times and get by? There are gods in the head! Did you know or not? Great Chief, you're staring at you short-eyed brutes all the time! Xiang Yong also knew that the bad deeds he had committed would not be tolerated by his eldest brother, so he didn't need to scold him with his head and face, he knelt down honestly in the morning, listened to his eldest brother's reprimand--- and it was better to be scolded than the first two. After scolding, Niu Keshen's throat felt smoking, and he picked up a bottle of wine casually, and took a few sips, but unexpectedly, the taste of these foreign wine remy horses was not very suitable, and the cow choked and coughed! "What the fuck is this bullshit wine, it's not as good as Lao Tzu's home-brewed sweet potato!" Scolding and scolding, Niu Keshen was brewing emotions to continue his "education" work, and the guards outside came in to report: "Yakov patrol officer has arrived!" Before Niu Keshen got up and went out to greet him, a tall and thin figure had already paced in, pulled down the mask on his face, and revealed a bearded face, which rarely showed a kind smile on this old face.

"The commander of the Fourth Brigade, Niu Caoshen, see the chief officer of the Yakov patrol!" The necessary military salute must still be had, and Niu jumped up and performed a standard military salute despite the wine bottle in his hand. "You don't have to be so serious, you and I are both officers of the same level!" Yakov looked at the mess in the room, and at the fresh blood on the ground, and the smile on his face thickened a little. "Brigadier Niu, are you dealing with things? If it's inconvenient, I'll come back later? Seeing a figure with military and police power so polite, the two kneeling on the ground couldn't help but sigh--- they thought that Niu Keshen was killing people with his front foot, and he asked Yakov to come over and increase the punishment with his back foot! Arrest the two of them and convict them of embezzlement or something! Let such a high-ranking person avoid doing things on his own, and he wouldn't dare to borrow a winter melon to make Niu Keshen guts! Who is Yakov? That's the first batch of meritorious veterans who followed the big leader! Heroes! In terms of seniority, his cronies are not even worthy of pouring water for his feet. "Well, Chief Yakov smiled." Niu Keshen smiled all over his face: "Didn't I just receive the secret order from the big chief, you see, it made a mess of chicken feathers, which made you laugh!" Turning around, Niu Keshen yelled at the two subordinates: "I didn't see the patrol officer arrive, you are still standing there pretending to be stupid!" Why don't you get a clean stool and wait for me to kick your ass? "The two guys who were amnesty were busy getting up, Xiang Yong moved a chair, and Zhang Guanglin also picked up tea, because he was too excited, and he was afraid of other factors, this general, who was usually used to killing zombies, suddenly saw the blood stains that had not yet dried, and suddenly his hands trembled, and the freshly brewed teacup fell to the ground at once, making the ground full of a mixture of blood and tea." Look at your little bit of interest, get out! Waiting for me outside! Niu Caoshen, who came out of breath, almost blew up his lungs, and the panicked Zhang Guanglin was about to bend down to clean up, but he was scolded by Niu again, and quickly shrunk his neck and went out, Xiang Yong saw that he was redundant here, and he slipped out on tiptoe.

After sending away the two brothers, Niu Keshen put on a smiling face again: "Let Chief Yakov smile, these two brutes!" "Haha, Niu Kaoshen personally got tea and poured it for Yakov." This year, it is very cold in the mountains, so drink some hot and you can go to the cold. Ahem, you also know, over there in the General Staff, what is the position of our Fourth Regiment, there are too few things that can be assigned to us, and I have many brothers, you are old, and I have nothing to entertain you, just a little broken tea, don't blame it! After a polite greeting, Yakov didn't seem to care about the smell of blood in the room, and enjoyed the hot tea very comfortably. I don't know, Chief Yakov is here for business this time? Niu Kaoshen and Yakov have also met more than once, since Huxianping was ambushed, the two have been taught by Mr. Father in person several times in a row, no matter what, it can be regarded as an old friendship of the parishioners, "half for the public, half for the private!" Yakov smiled and took out the order paper, which was densely covered with words. You don't have to look at it anymore, sign it, and today's matter will be over. Yakov looked meaningfully at the table full of dishes, the blood stains on which had congealed, "Humble understood. Hastily wrote down the signature of his hand, which is usually ugly and not even as good as a primary school student, and Niu Keshen handed back the order. You've done a very good job, we all know the big chief, and he doesn't like people who are duplicitous. Yakov blew the handwriting on the order book and carefully put it back in his briefcase. I won't say much about military affairs, you can afford to make such a big determination today,,,,," Looking at the small patch of blood that had dried up at his feet again, a gentle smile overflowed Yakov's wrinkled old face: "I believe that the Night Wolf's report will be more comprehensive than mine!" Detailed! "Serve the great leader, never give up!" Niu Keshen's face was solemn, and he said word by word!

Suddenly, Yakov's face sank, and he knocked to signal the cow to come closer, Niu Keshen obediently leaned over his head, only to see that Yakov didn't say anything, just held Niu Keshen's hands tightly, shook them for a while, and then let go, with a strange smile, Yakov, who had picked up his military hat in one hand, stood up and said: "The Holy Lord has always favored those servants who serve him faithfully!" Your faithfulness will be rewarded handsomely! Goodbye, Brigadier Niu, remember, take care of yourself! When the old man had finished explaining what had happened, he walked out of the tent, leaving Niu Keshen alone to sit there, and when he came back to his senses and tasted the taste of Yakov's words, he remembered that there was an extra thing in his hand, and he did not dare to mention it to anyone, and he secretly glanced at the object by the light in the tent--- a delicate silver cross!!!
