Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Silent Crossing
The truck slowly stopped at the destination, and Yang Xiaoqian's story was nearing the end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Yang Xiaoqian didn't really tell all the facts, and the story Wang Hai heard was just a story, a processed artistic version of Yang Xiaoqian. In Yang Xiaoqian's view, it is taboo to talk shallow and deep, except for explaining to his father that he has one thing and two to say, and explaining the situation with others is only selectively revealing information.
After all, the fundamental purpose of talking to mercenary driver He Yu, casino owner Wang Li, and veteran Wang Hai is to keep them and let them use them for their own use, so the versions of the stories told to them are slightly different.
Different from Yu Qian's concept of violent conquest, Yang Xiaoqian's idea is that the best reason to let others serve me is not the muzzle and bullets, but to make him feel that it is more in his own interests to do things for me honestly. Even if they are crushed and threatened by the absolute power of absolute power, they will give in and compromise in the face of death, but will they really use their strength to do what I need them to do? Not necessarily, there will be all kinds of schemes and calculations to be guarded against secretly. And what if they understood that doing things for me would better ensure their safety and interests? There is no need to rush, they will find ways to get things done themselves.
"How?" Yang Xiaoqian asked Wang Hai with a smile.
Wang Hai smoked a cigarette and said sullenly: "American blockbusters have a sense of déjà vu. ”
"Do you know such a trendy word as 'instant vision'?"
Wang Haifei rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you a soldier a person, so you won't be allowed to go to the post bar forum letter station?" In terms of age, I'm five, six, seven, or eight years older than you, and I'm not an antique. ”
"So, what do you think?" Yang Xiaoqian is very confident in his ability to tell stories, and the various hints and pros and cons in the story should be enough for Wang Hai to stay.
But Wang Hai's response was unexpected: "I was a soldier, a soldier of the People's Defense Army. ”
The subtext is obvious: the People's Defense Army should defend the people at a critical moment. Wang Hai still decided to join the 258th Brigade to participate in the battle.
Yang Xiaoqian did not give up the struggle, and continued to persuade: "Whether you are a special soldier or a soldier king, it is difficult for one person to control the overall situation, the 258 Brigade is not too much for you, and there is a lot less for you, and you can help more people if you stay on Paradise Island." ”
Wang Hai still shook his head and said, "According to what you said, Paradise Island is very safe now, and there will be no big problem with you and Yu Qian, two superpowers." It's different in the city, maybe you're right about the 258 Brigade, I'm not much, I'm not much, I'm not a lot, but if everyone who has the ability to participate in the war thinks so, how long can the 258 Brigade fight alone? No matter what others think or say, I can't use this excuse to escape. ”
Yang Xiaoqian was in awe, this is a real hero, his abacus of preserving himself in order to develop and then saving people is like the light of fireflies competing with the bright moon in front of Wang Hai's selfless glory.
However, it is obviously not in his own interests to return respect to respect and send Wang Hai to join the army to fight the corpse so politely, so Yang Xiaoqian did not immediately agree, but continued to persuade in a different direction: "You are right, I support you to return to the army to defend your homeland and country, but can you go later?" At least you have to help me train a decent crossbow team first, otherwise we two or three big cats and kittens will not be able to fully guarantee the safety of all the people on Paradise Island, and this is also the trading condition we said before, you have to be trustworthy, right? ”
Seeing that Wang Hai's resolute expression loosened slightly, Yang Xiaoqian said in his heart, and continued to chase while the iron was hot: "Otherwise, you go to Paradise Island with me first, select people to train, teach them to learn to use guns and crossbows, and when Paradise Island has enough guards, you will go back to the city to join the 258 Brigade, and when the time comes, it will not only be you who will go, as long as you are willing to follow you, you can take it away and I will not interfere." ”
"Also, in addition to the one million that was negotiated, I will add another million to you, all in cash, although the money is useless in Yuanjiang now, but the dome will disappear one day, right? Yuanjiang did so well in the early stage of epidemic prevention and isolation, there should be no big problems in the outside world, when the time comes, the large army will enter the city to clear the field and crush and rescue us, these two million are enough for you to do some serious business, such as opening an outdoor goods store, now the wilderness survival and the like are so popular, you have experience and strength, are you afraid of bad life in the future? "When will the dome disappear? Is the money useful? God knows, but Yang Xiaoqian knew that he had to give Wang Hai more reasons to persuade him to stay, and it just so happened that this passage hit Wang Hai's heart and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Okay." Wang Hai finally nodded and agreed.
Finally agreed, Yang Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, let's get off the car and prepare to be transported to Paradise Island by ferry." ”
Before getting out of the car, Wang Hai asked again: "If someone is willing to go with me at that time, do you promise not to stop me?" ”
"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase." Yang Xiaoqian swore an oath, but he had other ideas in his heart, thinking that when he arrived on Paradise Island, there would be enough time to subtly change people's thoughts, not only would no one go with Wang Hai, but even Wang Hai would stay.
Yu Qian and others, who had already gotten off the car, were inspecting the surroundings, and Yang Xiaoqian and Wang Hai also looked at the ferry after getting off the car.
Two or three ferries docked at the other end of the dock, and more than a dozen cars of different types were parked in a mess on the shore, with broken windows and damaged bodies. A trolley selling groceries fell to the ground, and buckets of instant noodles, bags of spicy chicken feet and mineral water were scattered aside.
In the past, there were many of them, but there was no one in sight. It was eerily quiet, only a slight sound of wind could be heard.
"Safety." Yang Yan nodded and said to the somewhat frightened Liang and Lin Liang families.
"That's not right." Yang Xiaoqian was the first to speak out against his father's conclusion, and then Yu Qian and Wang Hai also said loudly: "There is a problem. ”
"It's not quite right, I can't tell what's wrong." Casino owner Wang Li was not slow to react.
Yang Xiaoqian pointed to the parked car, and then pointed to the bag of food on the ground, and said: "We are not the only ones who can think of going to the island for refuge, the car is still there to explain, and the boat is still there can be explained, maybe they all took the ferry to escape." But why is there no one to take the food and drinking water in this place? ”
"Maybe some of them are so panicked that they can't remember that the more things they have in stock, such as drinking water and food, the better. But people who want to run to the sea in such a short period of time are definitely not stupid, is it really possible that they are all IQ off the line and just run away? The car was not turned off, and the car was full of luggage and belongings in the back seat. There's a problem here. After speaking, Yang Xiaoqian set his eyes on Yu Qian for recognition.
Yu Qian shook his head and said, "I didn't expect so much, it's just that this neighborhood is too quiet." ”
Yes, it was too quiet, and although most people were not stressed by the lack of food on the first day of the disaster, so they chose to stay at home, but all kinds of movements could be heard everywhere along the way, maybe it was made by people, maybe it was made by zombies, and now, not a single sound can be heard in the whole ferry.
"Get in the car." For the sake of safety, Yang Xiaoqian cautiously chose to return to the car, but as soon as the words came out, he saw the dozen or so empty cars and quickly changed his words, "No, don't get in the car." ”
Everyone froze in place, not knowing why.
