Zhang Duan entered Xi'an from the north of the city.

The intelligence department attaches great importance to the disappearance of Yin Liqian's search team. At Yin Wenhua's request, the new Beijing base sent a search force of up to several hundred people. Adjutant Yin Fang's opinion was implemented, and all the searchers sent this time were all ordinary people, and there was not a single infected person.

Zhang Duan is subordinate to the security department and is an external staff member of the base. He was not a soldier, but a candidate selected from among civilians and trained in the field. At first, Zhang Duan was sent to the boot camp, and later he got a perfect score in the psychological test subject and was favored by the base intelligence department.

Search is also a science.

Zhang Duan, on the other hand, did not carry a standard weapon, but opted for an old-fashioned AK rifle and a shabby-looking, but in fact powerful military retired off-road vehicle, which was also in line with his peacetime wealth and the forged identity of a military enthusiast.

Zhang Duanze's team has three people, and it is the normal establishment of the intelligence department of the new Beijing base. According to the information sent back by Yin Gang and others before, the Intelligence Department took Xichang as the center and drew more than a dozen search areas along the highway leading to Shijiazhuang. These areas are divided into three levels: focused, general, and non-focused. The key areas are in charge of experienced veterans, and Zhang Duanze's team are all newcomers, so they are naturally assigned to the "Xi'an Seven District".

Murderous corpses are indeed more difficult to deal with than zombies. Zhang Duanze's team was unlucky and encountered dozens of corpses on the outskirts of the city. One companion was killed in the battle, and the other had his left arm severed by the corpse. At that time, Zhang Duan was starting the off-road vehicle, and he was also ruthless, pulling out a pistol and blasting the head of his seriously injured companion, throwing the body from the car, which gave him a chance to escape.

To live is to be ruthless. Be cruel to yourself, and even more ruthless to others. Otherwise, you will be the one who will be killed and die!

Zhang Duan is not worried about the bad consequences of doing so. No one saw him shoot and kill, and when he returned from his mission, he had a good reason to report it to the higher-ups. After all, it was a secret mission, not escorted by the armed forces.

When Liu Tianming's team left Xi'an, Zhang Duan happened to drive into the city.

He was stopped by several armed men.

That area belongs to a gang called the Beastfangs. A small group of only a few hundred survivors. Because of the AK rifle in his hand and two 30-round fully loaded magazines, Zhang Duan was naturally invited to be one of them.

Identity matters, no matter where you are. Survivors have little sense of secrecy, and in fact nothing is worth secrecy. On the premise that bullets served as a common currency, Zhang Duan didn't have much effort to inquire about the division of power in the city and what had happened recently.

"Rocket Storm" was extinguished. In order to avenge his younger brother Leopard Head, the stupid Tiger Head was killed alive by others, and now he has become a corpse stuck in the steel bar.

The "Iron Fist Society" was destroyed. Hu Zhehai is a shrewd figure among the bigwigs in the city, but his intelligence is a piece of in front of fist bullets. The people who killed him were outsiders, very fierce, and also liked to dry people on steel bars. The imagination of the survivors is very rich, and there are rumors among them that "outsiders used to sell lamb kebabs". Otherwise, how to explain their horrific act of always stabbing dead people with steel bars to the end?

"Angry Thunder" has changed its leader, and the one that used to seem to agree to the peaceful transfer of power? Or has it already been killed by the usurper? It doesn't matter, in short, the "Angry Thunder" is still there, and it is still the strongest gang in Xi'an. It's just that I don't know why there are more fresh faces in "Angry Thunder", and there are a lot of dead people stuck in steel bars near the station.

The deterrent effect of death is very strong, and Zhang Duan also combed through the intelligence from all kinds of chaotic news, analyzed it, and found the part he needed.

Whether it was the annexation of the "Iron Fist Society" or the co-optation of "Angry Thunder", Liu Tianming did not deliberately conceal the news. He even deliberately let go of some of the old people in the gang. Doing so will help Xie Kun and their order in the city to stabilize in the future, and further enhance the deterrent effect of "Angry Thunder".

Liu Tianming never thought that New Beijing would send ordinary people to conduct a search. It's not his fault, because the logic is this: if you want to hunt lions, you have to send hunters who are stronger and more experienced than lions, and you have to be equipped with shotguns that are powerful enough. You can't just let out a newborn puppy and roar at a lion. It's unreasonable to do that.

In the face of powerful infections, ordinary people like Zhang Duan are just a little milk dog.

He understands the importance of concealment and never shows his fangs in front of others.

Search is search, and there is no need to show power.

This is the biggest difference between a beast and a loach.

……

He Chao's melancholy lasted less than half a day. At 11:48 p.m. that day, the train returned to Xi'an and slowly stopped on the platform.

Xie Kun and He Chao quickly ran to Liu Tianming, who had just come out of the carriage, and asked in unison, "What's wrong?" ”

"We were unlucky, just after Baoji, we encountered a landslide."

Liu Tianming replied sullenly: "It is estimated that it has just rained over there, there is no vegetation on the mountain, and the scale of the mudslide is very large, and the more than 200-meter-long railway track has been pushed off at once." With the use of manpower alone, it is simply impossible to remove it in a short period of time. There was no construction machinery nearby, so we couldn't do anything, so we had to turn around and come back. ”

It happened suddenly.

No one expected this. If it weren't for Liao Qiu driving a helicopter to find the problem in the air, report it in time, and Yang Yanhong braked at the first time, I am afraid that the train would rush into the landslide area and be buried in it.

Xie Kun couldn't help asking, "Then what should I do now?" ”

Zheng Xiaoyue and the others had already come down from the carriage, and they gathered around Liu Tianming. Hearing Xie Kun's question, Zheng Xiaoyue raised her head and said seriously: "We discussed on the way back, we can only give up the train and go to Almaty in other ways. ”

He Chao was surprised: "Other ways? Going by car? ”

Liu Tianming glanced at him: "It's too slow to drive." We have to use a better means of transportation. ”

He Chao still felt confused: "What do you mean?" ”

Liao Qiu interjected from the crowd: "We can fly over." ”

……

Although the helicopter, known as the "intimate lover", is powerful and can carry more than 20 people, it is not the ideal means of transportation in Liu Tianming's mind.

The northwest base is currently in a closed state, and Tian Guangyao and Huang He will not start operating at all in a short period of time, so naturally they will not be able to get helicopter fuel replenishment as before.

Liao Qiu's ability only controls the mechanics and can't conjure fuel. The remaining fuel must be used at critical times, and some must be left for travel to the Northwest base.

There is an even more important reason———— "intimate lovers" are too small to accommodate teams of up to hundreds of people. What's more, living supplies and weapons take up a lot of space, which is a difficult problem that cannot be solved with helicopters.

When the train returned from Baoji, Zheng Xiaoyue put forward her own opinion: aviation gasoline should be available at Xi'an Civil Aviation Airport. Liu Tianming can take the most capable few core members of the team to Almaty, while the others stay here and wait. Anyway, the team already used this as a logistics base.

In this regard, Liu Tianming also has his own concerns.

"If there is a strong infected body in Almaty, it will not be something that a few people can deal with. I have the strength of a mature body now, but if there is an evolutionary body, or even a joint body-level opponent, the situation will become very complicated. We need weapons, and followers are indispensable. In short, priority must be considered. The relics of Almaty must be in their hands, and no matter where they go again, they can make adjustments in terms of personnel and materials. If you arrive in Almaty and find that the attack force is insufficient, and you need to return to Xi'an to get reinforcements, maybe there will be a lot of changes. We may not have enough fuel for a second round trip, and those who stay there in advance may also be attacked...... We have to think more holistically and avoid going back and forth. ”

Sibo agrees with Liu Tianming's statement. Because that's the smartest plan. Of course, any solution has its advantages and disadvantages, and there can never be a perfect ending. For the time being, it would be the best option to concentrate most of the fighters on the group and go to Almaty together.

Xi'an actually has airplanes, and any large city has an airport.

The virus has destroyed civil aviation companies, but it has left behind unmanned large passenger planes.

……

More than a dozen trucks loaded with personnel and supplies whizzed through the streets towards the civil aviation airport on the outskirts of the city.

News tends to ferment and spoil in the process of word of mouth. In order to consolidate the existing strength and territory, Xie Kun deliberately released the news. Now, almost the entire city of Xi'an is spread about the destruction of the "Iron Fist Society" and the "Rocket Storm". Although people don't know what's going on inside the "Angry Thunder", everyone knows very well that the "Angry Thunder" is strong. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the last legacy left by Luo Badao.

The trucks were marked with a striking "Thunderbolt" on the outside, and no one paid any attention to them as they passed through other gang territories along the way. In this way, the convoy left the city unhindered and drove straight into the empty and unmanned airfield.

Dozens of different types of airliners were parked there, and the passages connecting to the departure hall were either removed or left alone in the middle of the square. The scorching sun scorched the ground, and the heat shook the horizon in the distance, as if everything was still alive. The building is like a chick with her ass twisted, and the plane is also turning into a metal monster as it shakes.
