Chapter 187: The Old Man
Although people are not optimistic about his work, there is no doubt that his intention to improve the relationship between the two cities with canned sea fish at charity prices is good.
Comrade Jiao is in charge of administration and economy.
Tang Yan was the main outsider, focusing on diplomacy and military affairs.
What is called a partner, this is called a partner.
Compared with the managers of Gem City in the past, they definitely belong to the kind of enlightened, pragmatic and benevolent navigators.
………………
On the afternoon of the third day.
Two Pandaren legionnaires push open the heavy iron doors of the Maxim's Cannery.
The head of the plane and the third young master sat in the cab of the little golden man modified pickup truck, waved to the companions who saw them off next to them, and slowly drove away from the factory.
Behind the two was another modified pickup truck, with the co-pilot sitting high, the main driver sitting with three guns, and the rear compartment carrying two sets of Reaper power armor.
The two modified leather buses were followed by a tower-like figure, and every step shook a circle of dust, and the ground was clanging.
"Xiaohong, I'm here......"
It is obvious that the person in the Type 5-4 armored combat suit is General Wang, who has broken his leg.
Zeng Hua looked at the bloated back and said loudly: "If you make it like last time, I will throw you into the dung pit and soak you for a week." ”
The cook drove the Type 5-4 armored combat suit into a bulldozer in the building of Wang Ming's manor, and suddenly came here, suddenly came there, and his body was covered with the body fluids of living corpses, and even the exhaust holes were blocked by rotten flesh.
"Xiaohong, you must wait for me." General Wang turned a deaf ear to the voices coming from behind.
Zeng Hua scolded angrily: "Which bastard deceived him Xiaohong in Kite City?" ”
Tong Huaiyu covered his face and pointed to someone behind him.
Zeng Hua turned his head to look and saw Deputy Head Tang holding Miss Caiwei's waist with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand gently rubbing her face, his lips moving, not knowing what he was saying.
He pressed down the expletives that rushed to his throat.
"Uh-huh......"
Tong Huaiyu said: "I didn't hear anything just now. ”
Zeng Hua said: "Aren't you a cultural person? It's so philistine. ”
Tong Huaiyu said: "Then I'll tell him?" ”
"You'd better continue to pretend to be deaf."
At this moment, a wind blew beside him, and dust spread everywhere.
With a low humming sound, the vulture chariot slowly floated, and Tang Yan let go of the hand holding Cai Wei and walked away with a hot wind.
When the vulture chariot crossed General Wang, Tang Yan made a gesture to Gao Kaibi, the co-pilot of the modified car, and the throttle went down, with a sudden burst of air, he rushed out with a swish, and soon disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
The third young master glanced at the CMC-300 type power armor loaded in the rear compartment: "Do you remember the conversation we heard last time?" ”
The head of the plane remembered the conversation they had heard both of them in the cannery's packaging workshop.
The third young master said, "I smell the smell of conspiracy. ”
The head of the plane slapped his partner on the head: "You have a lot of eyes." ”
When General Wang's figure disappeared from the gate, Zang Feng pushed Reyna towards Vault 1017.
"Will Tang Yan bring me a panda puppet back?"
Zang Feng said: "Yes." ”
………………
Tang Yan embarked on the journey with the head of the plane, the third artillery and others, and rushed to the agreed place.
The basement of the Liancai Manor in the west of the prison.
The dim light hung on the small incense burner placed in the center of the round table, illuminating the green smoke like a light dance.
The faces of Mei Lin, Chai Xiaonong, and Hui Liancai were hidden in the dark corner behind the table, their hands were on the table, some people touched the wrench on their fingers, some people gently tapped the tabletop, and some people spread their ten fingers and put them quietly.
"Is the news true?" The one who spoke was Merlin.
Chai Xiaonong nodded: "It has been confirmed by the people over there in Kite City that Fei Xiang has sent someone to prepare vehicles and select elite soldiers. ”
Obviously, the topic they were talking about was Tang Yan leaving Maxim's Cannery to meet Fei Xiang.
"Could there be a conspiracy in it?" It's still Merlin.
"Probably not." Chai Xiaonong said: "Judging from Tang Yan's recent series of actions, he is determined to 'convince people with virtue' and establish his own power. If he can reach an agreement with Fei Xiang, it will bring him a leap forward in 'doves occupying the magpie's nest'. Even if he fails to reach an agreement with Fei Xiang, it will increase his prestige in the eyes of the people of Gem City. ”
"Speaking of which...... I really admire this kid, the earlier move of retreating is really beautiful. Although this has caused a lot of displeasure in Jeseong, many of the residents of Gem City have come to regard him as a saint. ”
Yesterday, there was gossip from Gem City, saying that Tang Yan was going to meet Fei Xiang in Yuancheng to discuss the issue of canned sea fish.
Throughout human history, there have been violent revolutions, military revolutions, economic revolutions, cultural revolutions, religious (belief) revolutions, and political revolutions (coups......
When he arrived at Tang Yan, he played a new trick ------ prestige revolution.
Judging from the current situation, many residents of Gem City have touted him to the height of a sage and sage, and if he is allowed to grow up, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the people of Gem City are in Gem City and have their hearts set on Maxim's Cannery.
At that time, the foundations of their patriarchs to rule Gem City will rot.
On the surface, Tang Yan's actions have angered the Jecheng side, and those bigwigs are likely to resort to force against the Pandaren Legion.
With the current situation that the people of Gem City are willing to wear a pair of pants with Deputy Head Tang, what kind of changes will external pressure bring? The biggest possibility is to let them twist into a rope, unite as one, and resist foreign aggression together.
Once the dominance of the Panda Legion and Tang Yan was established, these elders could only stand aside.
TMD this kid is simply insidious to the extreme!
It wasn't until yesterday that they realized that they were planning and Tang Yan was planning.
In other words, that guy calculated their reaction and expected the attitude of the Jeseong side, so he pushed Comrade Jiao to the top in the last meeting.
It is precisely because of this that after learning that Tang Yan left the Meixin Canning Factory, they came to Huiliancai Manor as soon as possible and sat down to discuss countermeasures.
"It can't go on like this." Hui Liancai's face broke through the darkness and entered the scope of light: "Now it seems that the more we delay, the more unfavorable it will be for us, once Tang Yan is allowed to continue to act and gather into a general trend, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Merlin said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”
Hui Liancai nodded: "According to reliable sources, the advanced equipment that Tang Yan left in the Maxim's Canning Factory includes two sets of armor equipped with jetpacks, a set of power armor used when attacking Peninsula Radio Station, and at most a mutant vicious dog. There is no doubt that this kind of force will have an advantage against the previous black hand mercenary group, but now, ......"
In his opinion, Tang Yan was already very careful, afraid that the nest would be attacked and left with enough combat strength to deal with the black hand mercenary group. However, what the kid didn't know was that the Jeseong side had dropped a large number of military supplies into Signal Mountain in a roundabout way in these days, not only batches of mechanical exoskeletons, more than a dozen sets of P-43 power armor, but also two Type 99 main battle tanks, three Rafale siege vehicles, and an armored command vehicle.
His determination to send troops was based on the asymmetry of intelligence between the two sides.
Tang Yan reserved the forces that he thought were enough to prevent a sneak attack, but that kid didn't know that the Jicheng side was also providing a large amount of ammunition to the Black Hand mercenary group while promoting and pressuring.
At this time, Merlin said: "Is the news reliable?" ”
Hui Liancai said: "Very reliable. ”
"That's good." After Mei Lin finished speaking, he looked at Chai Xiaonong: "How is the situation over there?" ”
"They said they could take a chance."
"That's it?"
Hui Liancai said: "Remember to tell your subordinates not to touch that woman, we will also exchange her life for the teleportation device in that kid's hand." ”
"I will." Merlin agreed, and raised his squared hand on the table, placing his fingers together in front of his face.
"When will you do it?" He looked at Chai Xiaonong.
"It's hard to say, it depends on the results of their investigation."
………………
The sun is thin, and the sun is shining.
The evening wind added a touch of chill.
Tang Yan traveled west in the face of the somewhat ambiguous light, and at the same time paid attention to the reaction of the sensor.
Fengzhen is located in the southeast of Yuancheng and northwest of Gem City, which can be said to be the main transportation route into the inland area, and from time to time there are merchants in Gem City who are intercepted by soldiers of Yuancheng City Defense Army in this area, or the news that the transport vehicle is damaged by a small power mine planted in advance.
In order to ensure the safety of the group, since leaving the ruins of Qindao City, Tang Yan has driven the vulture chariot to the front of the team, which not only has the meaning of vigilance, but also can be used to check for possible mines.
In fact, the Vulture Chariot itself is a scout-type unit, and it may not be possible to detect the Zerg's buried units in the StarCraft world, and it is still easy to sniff out the mines and traps planted by various forces in the wasteland world.
Before the outbreak of the nuclear war, Fengzhen was a medium-sized county-level city, after the outbreak of the nuclear war, the county seat was destroyed, and now there are less than 2,000 people living in this land, mainly concentrated in the northwest of the ruins of the county, near the side of Yuancheng.
Tang Yan and the others did not go to the side of the settlement, but chose to detour from the south, without taking a break halfway, and went directly to the Jiashan Reservoir.
The post-nuclear world is a world where despair spreads, and the post-nuclear road is a road full of messes.
On both sides of the cracked asphalt road are cars of all sizes, rust and burns as their protective color.
Cracks and roads are dotted with tenacious shrubs, and occasionally faded strips of rag can be seen hanging from the branches swaying in the wind.
The windows of most of the cars were broken, and debris fell to the ground, reflecting the sunlight coming from the west.
On the other side of the broken window were either dried corpses clinging to the backs of their seats, or scattered consoles dismantled by wasteland scavengers.
The vulture chariot drove by with a raging hot wind, blowing up the tattered clothes in a suitcase beside the roadbed, and the red skirt spun into the gray sky.
There was a muffled ding-dong sound from behind, which was the sound of General Wang smashing into the vehicle blocking the road with brute force.
He didn't know why Tang Yan wanted him to clear a road that could be used by vehicles, obviously they could choose the wasteland on both sides of the road to move forward, and the car would be a little bumpy at most.
Of course, if he doesn't understand, he still obediently pushes the vehicles blocking the road along the way.
General Wang continuously pushed away a number of vehicles blocking the road, walked forward for more than 200 meters, and suddenly stopped.
Backbite...... Backbite...... Backbite......
The nose of the plane in the rear honked continuously, and the old speaker made an irritating crackling sound.
The cook turned around and raised the grenade launcher in his right arm: "What's the noise, honk again, believe it or not, I'll stuff a few crunches under your butts." ”
The head of the plane pulled up the parking brake with a black face.
At this time, the third young master retracted his head from the window, opened the door and jumped down, stood on the top of a scrapped vehicle next to him, and looked at the place in front of General Wang.
Tang Yan had already gotten out of the vulture chariot and walked into the wasteland on the right side of the road.
There was a man sitting on the ground with his back to the setting sun, digging through the dirt with a rusty shovel.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Behind him came the sound of a high opening, followed by the pungent smoke that came with the wind.
The third young master jumped off the roof of the car and followed Gao Kai to the figure kneeling in the wasteland.
At this time, Tang Yan had already come to the man's side, his gaze lingered for a while in the dirt pit less than half a meter deep, and turned to the four corpses lying on the north side.
Two adults, two small children, should be a family of four.
A bullet pierced through the heart, and blood stained the man's left chest; The woman has bare legs, and her torn pants are wrapped under her abdomen, covering her private parts; Both children had their throats cut and their eyes were still open, staring blankly at the half-worn sunset.
When the Third Young Master and Gao Kai came over, Tang Yan's gaze returned to the face of the person kneeling on the ground, and slowly squatted down.
"You...... Do you still recognize me? ”
The man was dressed in patched cloth and was covered in dirt particles.
He turned a deaf ear to Tang Yan's questioning, and dug the soil in the ground one by one, bringing a burst of fishy smell.
"You...... Do you still recognize me? ”
Still no answer, the man kept digging.
"Hey, our boss asks you." The third young master raised his foot and kicked back some of the dirt piled up on the edge of the pit.
Only then did the man glance sideways at Tang Yan, shook his head and continued the work at hand.
He meant not to know.
He doesn't know him, but he knows him.
When Tang Yan had just left Vault 1001 and didn't know much about the world, his initial idea was to find a place with a lot of people to collect reward points, and then he met the Black Saints, and went to the satellite receiving station with the conscription advertisement.
There were two newcomers who went to the Black Saints base with him that day, one of them was Zeng Hua, and the other person who hadn't said a word to them from beginning to end was here, this man covered in mud.
He also thought that the taciturn recruit had died in the night of the war, but how did he know that he would meet here unexpectedly more than two months later.
Tang Yan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth, then took out another one and handed it to the man.
The man stopped what he was doing and looked at his ten fingers, which were stained with dirt.
Tang Yan intimately handed the cigarette to his mouth, pouted the lid of the lighter, lit it for the other party first, and then lit it for himself, and took a hard puff.
"Remember the stronghold that the Black Saints used to recruit people?"
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
