This was a bitter pain for the soldiers of the New Third Regiment, although they also temporarily rebuilt a few buildings to serve as warehouses, but it was obviously a drop in the bucket, and a large amount of grain could only be temporarily piled outside.

This is obviously unacceptable to Zhang Xiaofan, now it is the summer heavy rain is coming, although these grains have been rain-proof, but once it encounters heavy rain, it is still inevitable to have losses, Zhang Xiaofan can not let the soldiers exchange their blood and lives for food loss here. Even if you don't say that food is precious now, it is a blow to the morale of the soldiers. He had no choice but to run Tongling City again.

The night was silent, but the entire Linhe base was brightly lit and full of people, out of the need to replenish fresh blood, the people who went to Tongling City this time were not from the new regiment, but selected from the other two regiments. If they pass this time, they will also be assigned to the new regiment and enjoy the treatment of soldiers when they return. Behind him, dozens of cars were full of food. Everything is ready to go.

This trip to Tongling City was still led by Zhang Xiaofan personally, he would not let such an important thing be done by others before everything was normal, and still decided to set off at two o'clock at night, it turned out that marching outside, the night was much safer than the day.

Everything is ready, dozens of vehicles slowly drive out of the gate of the base in turn, watching the distant vehicles gradually move away, the soldiers who stay in the base have mixed feelings in their hearts, as the leader of the base, Zhang Xiaofan is born and dies every day, while they ordinary soldiers can stay in the base safely.

I didn't have time to pay attention to what the soldiers who stayed in the base thought, Zhang Xiaofan took the convoy out of Linhe County, and the spirit couldn't help but start to be highly refined, the convoy in order to be less conspicuous at night, so there were no driving lights, only relying on a small flashlight hanging in front of each car to guide the way, if you are not careful, an accident will occur, you must be careful to move forward.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, although there were vehicles that accidentally turned off from time to time along the way, but early the next morning, they still came to Tongling City again.

The delivery of grain is only the first step, and the seller who can be contacted is the most important thing. Zhang Xiaofan first parked the convoy outside the city, and went to find the seller by himself. The entry into town was smooth. Zhang Xiaofan's title of commander of the independent 1st Division was still very bluffing, and the sentry who checked Zhang Xiaofan's certificate also gave him a standard military salute.

After entering the street of Xinweinan City, Zhang Xiaofan took out the communicator while driving, found a familiar number and dialed it, after a pleasant waiting bell, the communicator was soon connected, and after talking a few words with the person opposite, Zhang Xiaofan quickly drove in one direction.

This is a civilian area in Tongling City, most of them are low bungalows in stark contrast to the high-rise buildings that have just entered the city, and the not wide streets are still occupied by more than half of the people sleeping on the streets.

Several people were asked along the way, and after repeated confirmation, Zhang Xiaofan knocked on the door of a dilapidated small house in front of him.

It was Xia Wanru who opened the door who spoke to Zhang Xiaofan, but the Xia Wanru in front of him was very different from the Xia Wanru in Zhang Xiaofan's impression.

But looking at it now, the wide military uniform has covered her beautiful figure tightly, her beautiful hair has long been gone, and it has become a messy short hair, and her face has long lost its former luster, leaving more numbness and sluggishness.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan standing outside the door, Xia Wanru said with a reluctant smile; "Brother Xiaofan is here, please come in."

Follow Xia Wanru inside, this is a small house of less than 20 square meters, the house is dark and damp, and there are only two single beds on each side. A table was placed in the center, and Dong Sanchuan sat next to it. It seems that this is where Dong Sanchuan and Xia Wanru live.

When Dong Sanchuan saw Zhang Xiaofan coming, he stood up with laughter and said; "Today is really a distinguished guest, I didn't expect Master Zhang to remember my old brother."

Zhang Xiaofan also smiled; "It seems that Brother Dong is still so well-informed as he is in Quicksand Town."

Dong Sanchuan hurriedly waved his hand and said; "Brother Xiaofan laughed, how can I compare with before," he said, pointing to the house; "Brother, I have worked hard for decades, and once I return to the pre-liberation period!"

Zhang Xiaofan asked; "How does the old brother live here, didn't you say that you have a new backer?"

Dong Sanchuan said helplessly; "What a new backer, it's all fucking bullshit."

It turned out that although Dong Sanchuan successfully won the favor of the big man with the dinosaur beast caught by Zhang Xiaofan, and was also listed as one of the so-called four King Kongs under his command, but after all, the big man was just an underworld force, and under the high pressure of the military in Tongling City, the business they could do was also very limited.

Dong Sanchuan said that he was also embarrassed here, he said; "It's a pity that Brother Xiaofan's Dire Beast, I originally wanted to rely on that Dire Beast to make something to do under that big man, who would have thought that the so-called big man was not as good as a dog in front of the Tongling City Army, and he usually couldn't even eat himself, so how could he give me some to do."

The more Dong Sanchuan spoke, the more angry he became, he pointed to the house where he lived now and said; "Brother Xiaofan is not a place where people live in Tongling City at all, you see that such a broken house is worth 5 million, such a house is not even my dog in Liusha Town, it is worth 5 million here, and the food and drink here are dozens of times more expensive than in Liusha Town, and it is extremely difficult to find a job, and if there is no high-level military personnel at home, there is no other way to find something to do. If this continues, my brother, I may have to beg on the streets. After Dong Sanchuan finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Xiaofan with a blank look in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan naturally knew Dong Sanchuan's words, but he didn't come to find a job for Dong Sanchuan this time. He said bluntly to Dong Sanchuan; "Brother Dong, how much do you know about the black market in Tongling City?"

Dong Sanchuan suddenly came to the spirit; "It's business! That's a hundred times better than working for someone. He patted his chest and said; Brother Xiaofan, it's not the old brother who says big things, although here I am not the same as before, but the old brother has been in this industry for more than 20 years, in terms of the level of understanding of the black market here, I think that no one dares to call the second first. ”

Zhang Xiaofan didn't bother to care whether he was bragging, there were only two people he knew in Tongling City, he and Wei Yuanfeng, Wei Yuanfeng was a person from the military, and it was inconvenient to deal with these things, who else could he find if he didn't look for Dong Sanchuan. Besides, with his current status, those who dare to fool him are definitely impatient.

Dong Sanchuan also felt that he was a little anxious, he pretended to be reserved and sat down, and said casually; "Brother Xiaofan, are you going to buy something? , or do you want to sell something?,"

Zhang Xiaofan replied; "Buy things, sell things, and watch the market!"

Zhang Xiaofan's slow words aroused Dong Sanchuan's desire even more, he finally couldn't bear it, to tell the truth, he was going crazy in the past few days, he used to be in Liusha Town for decades, but when he came here, he suddenly became disliked by people, no one treated him as a dish, and now no one even wants to work for others, and the huge gap in his heart is about to crush him.

Now that he has finally grasped one of Zhang Xiaofan's lines, he will not give up no matter what. At that moment, he pulled his face and smiled bitterly; "Brother Xiaofan has lost my appetite, if there is anything to take out, as long as it can be used in the place of the old brother, the old brother will be grateful."

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help laughing; "My brother is anxious now. Wasn't that pretty sound just now? ”

Dong Sanchuan smiled bitterly; "I don't want to live a day like this, if I hadn't agreed to be like his father, I wouldn't want to live a long time ago," Dong Sanchuan's eyes turned red after speaking.

Xia Wanru next to him kept his head down and saw some expression.

Zhang Xiaofan also knew that the time was almost up, and besides, he still had a lot to do, and he didn't have time to work with him all the time, so he said now; "Brother, I have a batch of grain to sell, I don't know how the market is here?"

Dong Sanchuan's body was shocked; "Food is a good thing. At present, the new Weinan City can say that there is a shortage of anything, and food is the top priority, the original scale of 2 million people in the new Weinan City was forced into 10 million people, the surrounding fertile fields were also destroyed a lot when the dreadmill attacked the city, too far away and no one dared to harvest, only the nearby wheat fields were harvested, but that and the huge population base of Tongling City is a drop in the bucket, although there are still a large number of food reserves, but that is mainly for the army, and the army will not be scattered out unless it is absolutely necessary, Now the price of food on the black market has risen more than tenfold, and it still has no intention of stopping.

It can be said that Tongling City is no longer a place for ordinary people to stay, and even drinking water here is rationed, and if you want to live like a person here, you are either rich or expensive. And this is only the first year, as time goes by, this state of affairs will only get worse, and sooner or later Tongling City will become a place where only the rich can survive.

For such a situation, the high-level of Tongling City has also tried to reverse it, but whether it is to transfer grain from other cities, or to risk harvesting distant grain is not very realistic, the situation in other cities is similar, only a small number of grain can be transferred, and the risk of risking to harvest far away is also very large, not everyone is the same as Zhang Xiaofan, who dares to go to find trouble with the dreadnail beast in the middle of the night. In the face of continuous casualties compared with the little grain harvested, the debate over whether to lose or gain has not stopped for a moment in the high-level debate in the Northwest Theater.
