act9: Rich has distant relatives in the mountains, things go smoothly beyond imagination, so that Song wine is faintly kind

The illusion of "sheep in the mouth of the tiger". As judged during the day, the guard of the riverbank fortress was excellent, and the five of them had just stepped out of the woods when they were spotted by the lookouts from the tower.

Exposing his whereabouts was part of the plan, and Song Jiu and the others did not deliberately hide, and raised their hands from afar, signaling that their people and animals were harmless.

The people on the tower were also very cooperative, and there was no other out-of-the-ordinary behavior except for the bright searchlights that followed all the way.

The five of them didn't say anything all the way, occasionally communicating with their eyes, Xin Mengfan's hands were tied together, Song Jiu held the rope, and whispered a few words in her ear before approaching the door, Xin Mengfan comprehended, closed his eyes and brewed for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, his face had changed to a sad look of his father's death and his mother's remarriage.

I have to say that the scale of this riverbank fortress still exceeds Song Jiu's previous judgment, and it is not very useful to observe in the woods during the day, and the log wall not only blocks the footsteps of the walking corpses, but also cuts off their ill-intentioned gaze outside the wall.

The tower was much taller than expected, and although it had a rough appearance, the lampstand on the tower and the hanging basket hanging down to the side of the main entrance all testify to the high security of the place.

The five of Song Jiu stopped in front of the main entrance, and the one-person-high wooden rebuke in front of them had old blood stains, and the sharpened wood was facing several people, exuding an invisible sense of oppression; There is a gap of more than ten meters between the gate and the fortifications, and the double-opening wooden doors are covered with rivets, and the criss-crossed spoked steel plates indicate its resistance to blows.

The person on the tower had his back to the light, and Song Jiu couldn't see the other party's face clearly, judging by his feelings, it should be a man, and there was only one person.

There are only torches on the tower in the other corner, which are faintly invisible, and there seems to be no guards. Looking at the perimeter of this fortress closely, Song Jiu was even more satisfied, this height was enough to resist the invasion of walking corpses, the tightly fitting log pillars were not afraid of any human attack, and the height and angle of the tower were also enough to play the role of early warning and defense.

There is no sign on the top of the main entrance, and it is clear that the owner of this place is also a pragmatist, and there is no such thing as a showy intestine, and the mottled bark and tangled barbed wire are the best business cards.

Song Jiu prepared several opening statements, but none of them came in handy, and the tower guards did not give them a chance to play, and observed silently for a while, and then the door opened.

Several guys with evil intentions looked at each other, a little uncertain for a while, hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to walk in.

"Brother Jiu, what's the situation?" Jiao Ziqian leaned closer, and the hand that had been raised before had been put down, and he habitually placed it in the position of the weapon on his waist.

"Adapt, don't talk." Song Jiu glanced at his hand and motioned for him to behave more naturally.

Behind the gate is a doorway of about five meters, Song Jiu deliberately slowed down his pace to observe left and right, and found that the internal structure of the log fence is not all wood, except for the large frame is a rough wooden pile beam, and the rest of the materials connecting the load-bearing are steel frames.

Because there is no lighting equipment in the doorway, Song Jiu can't see what the structure has. As soon as they entered the door, there was a 'click' sound on both sides, and no one moved, and the two heavy wooden doors 'clanged' shut.

"What about automation?" Jiao Ziqian couldn't help muttering.

"Remember, we'll have to figure out how to do it when it's done." Song Jiu also smacked his tongue, and raised the difficulty of this operation by a few levels in his heart.

Walking out of the doorway, there was an open field, and there were already people waiting here on both sides, and before Song Jiu could take out the words that he had prepared for a long time, the few people who were guarding here disarmed them.

During this period, there was no speech on both sides, Jiao Ziqian wanted to resist, but when he saw Song Jiu shaking his head, he had no choice but to give up.

Just like going through the security check in the past, I removed the weapons on my body, not to mention, I touched them from top to bottom, and I didn't even let go of my shoes.

The open area is not large, like an ordinary reception square, there are a few big guys parked by the wall, covered with canvas, I don't know if it is a truck or a construction truck; There are ladders on the inside of the log walls, and there is also space for guards to walk around on the top; The flat land was clean, with a brick wall running in front of it, cutting the open field in two with the brilliant lights behind it.

The one who took the lead in the search was a bald head, wearing a white-washed suit and pants, and pinched Xin Mengfan's full chest with a smile, and then he got out of the way with a smile, and directly ordered another guard: "Take them to the side room." ”

"Why don't you ask us what we're here for?" Song Jiu turned his head to look at him and asked a little strangely.

"What else can you do here?" The bald man smiled arrogantly and waved his hand to the guards to take them away.

…… so-called

The "side room" is a place where the survivors exchange supplies, and not only is the security in place, but the secrecy is also first-class.

Song Jiu originally wanted to take the opportunity to observe the internal environment, but the place of the transaction was not behind the brick wall at all, but at the other corner of the wall, that is, next to the surging river.

There was nothing noteworthy on this road, and the brick wall in the open area had only one entrance, completely dividing the back of the door and the interior into two areas, one to block the gaze of the peeping one, and the other to serve as another layer of defense.

There weren't many guards here, and there were less than ten guards at the end, and they were all lazy, and they didn't react to their unfamiliar faces.

The "side house" is very large and very simple, in fact, it is a vacant space formed by two rows of fences blocking the corners of the wall, and the roof is also a simple tarpaulin, and it is pitch black inside, only a smell of earth.

The guard who led the way went in and took a turn with torches, and lit the menorah that stood in the middle of the ground, and the flames lit up the surroundings on all sides, and there was nothing.

Song Jiu and the five followed, each looking at the greenhouse, not knowing what the other party's intentions were. The guard, who was also familiar with the situation, stuck the torch on the ground, pulled out a crumpled roll of paper from his butt pocket, took out a ballpoint pen and scratched it on the paper for a while, and looked up at several people.

"What do you want?" The guard asked.

"Huh?"

"What do you need? Water? Food? Pharmaceuticals? The guard was a young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was full patient with the few people in Mune, and asked, "Is it the first time?" ”

"Yes... For the first time. Song Jiu hurriedly took over the conversation and continued: "I don't know much, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, it's raw and ripe." The guard boy grinned and said to himself, "There have been a lot of faces lately, and it seems that many of them have returned home." Song Jiu and the others didn't understand what they meant, so in order not to show their flaws, they had to pretend not to hear.

"So, what do you need in exchange?" The guard guy pointed at Xin Mengfan with a pen and said, "Let's confirm first, is it for her?" ”

"Yes, there are two more guns, which were just taken away at the door." Song Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and replied according to the pre-set routine.

"Oh, didn't pay attention, what guns?" The guard scratched his head and hesitated: "You tell me what you need first, and I won't tell you anything, we generally don't accept guns, we don't have ammunition, and we take up space." ”

"We..."Song Jiu paused, trying to make a sincere expression, and said, "We heard that in addition to exchanging supplies, we can also receive survivors here...... Is it? ”

"Oh?" The guard raised his eyelids and wondered, "So you guys?" ”

"Yes, we want to be here." Song Jiu gave him a positive answer, and when he saw him frowning, he hurriedly added: "Because I don't know the rules, so, so I brought a woman here, and I should vote for it, I don't know if it's okay?" The young guard bit the pen and looked at a few people, with a bit of amusement in his eyes, and asked, "Who told you?" ”

"There's a group of people at the train station, it's them..."Song Jiu said halfway through his words, and threw the question back.

Fortunately, the guard boy didn't seem to have the intention of delving, lowered his head and thought about it, and asked, "Just a few of you?" ”

"yes, it's just the four of us." Song Jiu replied.

"Oh... You're here at the right time, and you've been short of people lately. The guard grinned, gathered his paper and pen and walked out the door, shouting, "Bald! Call Lao Zhu to come over! Song Jiu and the others glanced at each other, and they all had an indescribable feeling...... Just short of people?

Well, I want to sleep with a pillow.

"Don't worry, wait a while, it's a holiday today, and the person in charge is not here." With a friendly smile on his face, the guard guy sat down on the spot, took out a golden cigarette case from his jacket, and said to a few people: "Rest for a while, don't you smoke?" ”

"No, no, no...", the five shook their heads in unison.

"Holidays?" Song Jiu asked curiously, "It doesn't seem like a festival today." ”

"This is our festival here, camp Tianding, dragon and phoenix fetus!" The guard boy took a puff of his cigarette and said happily as if he were doing something with an acquaintance: "This is the first time this year, so you can't celebrate it properly." ”

"......" Regarding the young man's statement, Song Jiu and the others could only stare at each other, their faces full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Meaning, someone has a baby?" Jiao Ziqian tilted his head and asked.

"That's right." The young man from the guard spat out a string of smoke rings and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

"Out of town." Song Jiu replied.

"What about this girl? With you, or did you catch them? ”

"......" Song Jiu frowned, and said, "She is—"

"Together, right?" The guard guy interrupted Song Jiu's words, glanced at Xin Mengfan meaningfully, and said, "I can see that you should be acquaintances, don't lie to me, we don't welcome liars." Song Jiu didn't reply, looked at him with burning eyes, and was silent in return.

"Is the guy surnamed Yu telling you to exchange women for things?" The guard boy sneered, with a 'I know' expression: "He's, don't believe him." ”

"Oh, I thought he was telling the truth." Song Jiu met his playful eyes, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said, "But she really isn't with us." ”

"It doesn't matter." The guard boy nodded disapprovingly, and said, "More than one person will have more pairs of chopsticks, we are a refuge here, not a concentration camp, and we don't engage in gender discrimination." Song Jiu shrugged his shoulders and loved whoever he loved.

"I don't know what Yu told you, but we can exchange supplies and accept survivors here. In addition, women can indeed be used to exchange for supplies, but they cannot be used as voters. The guard guy extinguished the cigarette butt, and his laughing expression disappeared and was replaced by a serious face: "Because... People who treat women as goods, we don't welcome them either! Jiao Ziqian's face changed, and his eyes looked at Song Jiu, who was expressionless, as if what the other party said had nothing to do with him.

"So, do you understand what I mean?" The guard guy squinted, stared at Song Jiu, and said slowly: "You think about it again, whether to exchange her for some food and drink and leave, or get out of here." ”

"Holy, I-"

"Ziqian, sit down." Song Jiu grabbed the violent Jiao Ziqian, smiled, and said, "My brother has a temper, don't mind." The guard boy pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Dude, your temper rushes to death quickly, and the walking corpse is not used to your problems." ”

"Who wouldn't brag? With your virtue, I can beat ten, and you teach me how to mix? Jiao Ziqian was angry, although he was stopped by Song Jiu and couldn't make a move, but his mouth was not idle, his eyes were slanted, and he said provocatively: "Don't accept the comparison? ”

"Don't you want to get out alive?" The young guard seemed to hear a joke, and slowly stood up and slapped his face.

The hidden wooden door suddenly opened, and more than a dozen men rushed in, holding a double-barreled shotgun with a water in their hands, shiny and shiny, and the muzzle of the gun was blue and glowing faintly blue in the light of the fire.

Ah Hai and another young man in the back also blew up, although they were bare-handed, they didn't coax at all, and they went up side by side with Jiao Ziqian to block in front of Song Jiu and Xin Mengfan.

"What? Don't accept the analogy? The guard boy was full of ridicule, and threw back Jiao Ziqian's provocation just now.

Song Jiu got up and pushed aside Jiao Ziqian, who was blocking in front of him, stared at the young man with a smile, was silent for a long time, and said, "So, Zhu Shouwei?" Excuse me, can we join in? ”...
