ACT253: The Decision of the Establishment

The joy of the reunion didn't last long, and the port was not a place for long talks, just as Wheat thought before, Song Yao and their identities were different when they landed on the island this time, and Chang Xiangrong, the big cap, came to pick up the boat in person, so it was naturally impossible to arrange for them to go to the living quarters. The soldiers on the side of the guards lined up on the way back, rudely interrupting the reunion of several girls, and the woman who accompanied Chang Xiangrong apologized slightly, and politely declined Wheat's invitation, saying that the reception was already prepared in the administrative district.

The disappointment on Wheat's face that could not be concealed was overflowing, although he was reluctant, but he had no choice but to wave goodbye to the old man, and make an appointment to finish his business and come back to reminisce.

There were too many outsiders around, and many words could not be said clearly, Zeng Yadong knew that Song Yao and the others were unhappy, so he pulled Song Yao and Lu Qian to fall behind the team, and said in a low voice: "Bear with me first, it should be fine at night, and then we will go to find wheat." ”

"People are under the roof." Lucy pursed her lips, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, and looked back at the small figure in the harbor from time to time, and muttered, "The little girl has grown up." ”

Zeng Yadong smiled faintly, didn't say anything more, pulled up the two girls and squeezed into the team, keeping up with the speed of the march.

Song Jiu and they belong to outsiders, they are silent throughout the whole process, occasionally whispering a few words, and they have to pay attention to the soldiers around them with cold faces, I don't know if it is because of the bad impression they left at the beginning, anyway, Song Jiu can't have a good impression of the people in power here. He is not the only one who has this kind of thought, as a former enemy, Wu Wentao is also awkward, according to the previous discussion, they should have been in Taiping Island and Yao Jinsong to get straight to the point, but the itinerary was changed halfway, and those matters that had been communicated in advance did not know whether they were still applicable or not.

Sun Houji and Xiao Zhuang have become mute since they got off the ship, it seems that the temporary diversion has also affected them, the faction boss party has not ended yet, and it is unknown what exactly is being discussed, the plan can't catch up with the changes, who knows what new measures will be taken after the meeting, once the new plan is different from the expectations, then Song Jiu and their joining may become meaningless. Under such a premise, Xiao Zhuang and Sun Houji can only remain silent, anyway, Zeng Yadong is by his side, Zeng Yadong is Yao Jinsong's right-hand man, and she must know more comprehensive information than them.

In short, the first contact with the establishment was not very pleasant, and everyone was not in the mood to watch the same deciduous trees, and often Xiangrong chattered all the way to introduce the history of the establishment of the establishment, regardless of whether there was an audience or not, the mouth was full of saliva and enjoyment.

Song Jiu hasn't figured out the relationship between these people in power, this Chang Xiangrong claims to be the resident reception of Fiery Cross Reef, and his sister's friend is from Taiping Island, these two people came to pick up the boat together, whether there is a deep meaning is still unknown, but judging from the words and performances of the two on the road, there seems to be no spark, or it may be that he thinks too much.

……

After more than ten minutes, the team arrived at the administrative area under the leadership of Chang Xiangrong, and the leisurely atmosphere of the island was instantly replaced by the tense atmosphere that filled the air, and even the swaying big-leaved banyan trees around seemed to have become much deeper. Song Jiu is the first time they have landed on the island, and they have no clear concept of the so-called living area and administrative area, Chang Xiangrong's introduction along the way is irrelevant, and the island pattern will naturally not say much about the topic involving confidentiality.

Luo Yu and Wu Wentao were accustomed to observing the surrounding environment all the way, and after entering the administrative area, their faces gradually became serious, compared to the comfort of Jinbo Island, there was an indescribable sense of urgency surging up and down here, the high cement wall hidden behind the palm grove was cold, and the concave administrative main building was the same as the former government unit building, lifeless and gloomy.

Entering the administrative area requires passing through three heavily guarded gates, each entrance and exit is guarded by sentinels, the high blue-gray walls are unpainted, the mottled cement is exposed to the air, the gun-wielding guards standing proudly at the top of the post do not squint, and the muzzles of the black holes flash with a faint cold light, which makes people feel all kinds of negative emotions.

The main administrative building covers an area of not small, four or five floors, the open space in front of the building can see the traces of renovation, flat and neat, unpretentious, four black cars lined up, parked in front of the building, like four door-guarding stone lions.

Seeing those cars, Song Jiu couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Is the island very big?" Still need a car? ”

Chang Xiangrong smiled indifferently and said casually: "There is always a time when there is a need, it is more convenient to have a car." ”

Song Jiu pursed his lips secretly, not satisfied with the perfunctory answer, in fact, he still had a lot of questions, but it didn't seem suitable to ask at this time, and the big cap also ignored him, and didn't treat him as a dish at all.

Luo Yu quietly stabbed him and said in a low voice, "That woman has been peeking at Nata." ”

Song Jiu looked back at the crowd, Natalia and Fang Fei walked together, there was no sense of existence after they went to the island, Luo Yu didn't say anything, he almost forgot that there was an international friend in the team.

"Normal, foreign girls are always more conspicuous." Song Jiu smiled, the woman who accompanied Chang Xiangrong seemed to be a secretary or something, he basically didn't speak on the road, he just looked around, and didn't care about the woman.

Wu Wentao sneered, saw Song Jiu and the others looking at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'll talk about it later." ”

……

The arrangement assigned to them by the authorities is actually a conference room, located on the west side of the main administrative building, Song Jiu originally wanted to see what the hall of the main building was like, but Chang Xiangrong didn't give them a chance, and directly took them into the stairwell through the side door, went up to two floors, and sent a group of people into the empty round table conference room, and left first after a few simple explanations. There was silence in the huge conference room, and the people who landed on the treasure land looked at each other, and the curiosity about the establishment had basically been almost worn off, and even the acne girls were a little impatient.

Xiao Zhuang and Sun Jiji also stayed in the conference room, the captain and the other two left with Chang Xiangrong, and whispered a few words to Zeng Yadong before leaving, Zeng Yadong was expressionless, and responded lightly, and waited until no one left the conference room, then he let out a long breath, and suddenly collapsed in the high-backed seat, the indifference on his face disappeared, and deep tiredness came up.

"Yaoyao, I know you have a lot of questions now, but I don't know much at the moment, don't worry." Zeng Yadong took off his glasses and pressed his temples gently, his voice was full of tiredness: "I really didn't expect that we would meet again in this way." ”

"The world is impermanent, and we are also very happy to see that you and wheat are all right." Song Yao smiled comfortingly, her eyes contained too much content.

Zeng Yadong exhaled slowly, his eyes returned to calm, swept over everyone one by one, and sighed faintly: "So, you are the only ones left?" ”

In just one sentence, there are countless bitterness.

Song Yao's eyes darkened, and he nodded slightly, when the team had long been fragmented and had never seen each other, he could still look forward to his companions in the distance, and now he was gathered together across the mountains and rivers, and the only thing left was a sad sigh.

"I've been thinking that if we hadn't gone to Bohai Bay, maybe everything would have been different." Zeng Yadong rubbed his eyes, and a vivid face appeared in his mind, and sighed: "It's a pity that there is no regret medicine." ”

"What happens can't be changed." Song Yao nodded in agreement, and the helplessness in her eyes was even worse.

The atmosphere was too depressing, Song Jiu felt a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and said, "Let's stay for the evening, that... Can you tell us a little bit about the current situation? ”

Zeng Yadong looked at Song Jiu when he heard the sound, raised his eyebrows, turned his gaze back to Song Yao, and said in surprise: "...... is he?" ”

"My brother." Song Yaowan chuckled and shrugged her shoulders: "Dear." ”

"No wonder, I just look a little familiar." Zeng Yadong smiled.

Chef Niangjia and Luo Yu pouted in unison, both objected to this, they never felt that Song Yao and Song Jiu were similar, their personalities were like this, and their appearance was the same, except for their surnames, they were completely the same people.

Fortunately, Zeng Yadong and the others did not plan to delve into this topic, and after a few small talks, the topic gradually entered the topic, unlike Chang Xiangrong's perfunctory things, Zeng Yadong was obviously ready, skipping unnecessary cumbersome details, and simply explained the current situation of the establishment to everyone.

The reality is always cruel, Song Jiu and the others decided to look for the establishment, the main purpose is to spread antibodies, in order to have their backs against the big tree to enjoy the shade, but the current situation of the establishment in Zeng Yadong's mouth completely disappointed Song Jiu and others.

According to Zeng Yadong, the talks between the representatives of the ruling faction have long been on the agenda, and while Song Jiu and his gang were still bouncing among the mountains and wilderness, the Nansha Islands had already fallen into a new chaotic situation.

The establishment has been at sea for three years, and the efforts during this period are indelible, but the unfortunate thing is that the islands are too confined after all, and although the marine resources are more abundant than the land, with the current strength and resources of the establishment, it is simply impossible to exploit and develop them on a large scale.

As mentioned above, from the landing on the island to the present, the population base of the place where the power is stationed has basically not grown, and development needs not only material resources, but also fresh blood is also an important part, in the eyes of the survivors in exile, the establishment is far away from the invasion of the walking dead, as if living in a paradise, but in fact, this paradise greatly restricts the recovery of civilization.

In the past, the Nansha Islands were of extremely important strategic value, and these islands and reefs, which were densely packed in the ocean, have been transformed from reefs that will be submerged at high tide into islands that can accommodate more than 1,000 people, but their essence cannot be changed. The archipelago is located in the extreme south, far away from the walking dead and far from the ground, but no matter how rich life is here, it is only an isolated island, unless the establishment can completely connect the archipelago and conjure up a piece of land out of thin air in the vast ocean, otherwise this place can only be used as a strategic buffer, and cannot start a real civilization recovery.

This is where the dispute began.
