Section 264 Champs-Élysées
Sibo laughed and laughed loudly: "I really didn't expect that this word would come out of your mouth." I haven't seen you, but I can tell you belong to the kind of people who are very proud. ”
A smile appeared on Liu Tianming's handsome face: "How long will this snowstorm last?" ”
"A week or so."
Sibo added: "Judging from the satellite cloud images observed so far, it should be like this. However, this kind of thing is not certain. The weather forecast is up to a week in advance. Maybe there will be another change at that time. It's not something that humans can control. ”
After a pause, he continued: "A suggestion for you———— rendezvous with the helicopter, and after getting the winter gear, take your people and find a place to stay as soon as possible." From now on, it is best not to exceed twenty hours. Otherwise, you will have to ask for more blessings. ”
……
More than four hours later, the helicopter slowly descended from the sky, unloading dozens of heavy boxes.
The army coat was thick and was a special item for the northern army.
The leather military cap is of very good quality.
In addition to the skin antifreeze oil distributed in extremely cold areas, the supplies also include antifreeze and lubricants for vehicles. This is probably an extra gift prepared by Tian Guangyao after he returns. The last part of the supplies is boxes of canned food and compressed biscuits.
Liu Tianming did not delay for a minute.
As soon as he ends the communication, he assigns tasks to all team members. In addition to leaving some people to keep the car, Huang He and other mutant infected people who had been injected with immunization agents took two off-road vehicles and took the lead in the direction of Xichang. Their mission is clear———— to open the road ahead, and to find suitable temporary accommodation along the way. The closer to the team's current location, the better.
The helicopter division was a young man in his twenties. He looked very optimistic, helped everyone unload the supplies, and even took out his mobile phone and took a group photo with Liu Tianming and others. In his words: It's a day to live now, and maybe parting is goodbye. Let's take a group photo together to make a commemoration.
……
Before nightfall, the convoy came to the periphery of Xichang.
Street signs made of reflective materials show that it is still more than 30 kilometers from the main city. However, the road ahead was heavily congested with all kinds of vehicles, and the side roads were also littered with scattered car wrecks. The convoy could not drive into the city at all, and if they wanted to get the "gift" that Song Jiahao put in the designated place, they could only follow the method of Panzhihua, choose a location close to the city to temporarily station, and then enter on foot.
The weather is getting colder and the wind speed is increasing. Although there is still some time before Sibo's warning deadline, Liu Tianming does not dare to take risks. According to the news brought back by Huang He and other pioneers, he ordered the convoy to turn at the intersection and walked a few kilometers towards the eastern fork in the road, where he saw a tall building standing alone in the middle of an open field.
To be precise, it is a construction site surrounded by fields.
The strong wind blew down a lot of billboards planted on both sides of the road. There are large flowers on it, and a beautiful girl who is full of enthusiasm and smiles. There is also an eye-catching English logo and a slogan composed of beautiful printed fonts: Welcome to the Champs-Elysées!
Continuing down, there is the sales department's signage and telephone.
Zheng Xiaoyue sat in the car and looked at both sides of the road for a long time. There is nothing but scattered street trees, no crops in sight, and green icy fields.
She couldn't help but be a little amused: "This kind of place can also be called the Champs-Elysées?" ”
Gu Kegang in the back seat also smiled: "This is actually nothing. There was a developer in my hometown who got a real estate project, and there was a random fountain in front of the entrance, called the Palace of Versailles, and the price was frighteningly high. ”
Zheng Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue very cutely, and turned her gaze to Liu Tianming, who was driving: "Are you sure, we really want to live in this place?" ”
Liu Tianming nodded: "This place is not too far from the city, and there are no obstacles around. The blizzard is coming, and there is no better option for a while. At the very least, the name Champs-Élysées sounds good. ”
The construction site is located at the end of the road.
On both sides are brick walls. This kind of wall looks a bit haphazard. Several places in the middle were peeled open and then blocked with a sky-blue metal sheet. As far as the eye could see, there were as many as five or six similar notches, as if the dark red ribbon had been torn in the middle and then filled with a poor blue rag.
Heavy metal doors are locked.
Liu Tianming jumped out of the car, pushed the door hard, and found that the door was locked with iron chains from the inside.
He turned around and glanced at the Yellow River coming from behind. Huang He nodded knowingly, beckoned Luo Kuan and Liao Qiu, and the three of them climbed over the wall with agility, cut the iron chains located inside with destruction pliers, and let the convoy enter.
The first thing that catches your eye is a large open space. The cement floor is inlaid with brown tiles, which are paved all the way to the sales department 100 meters away. It was a luxurious three-storey building, in stark contrast to the building that had been glazed in the opposite direction, had not yet been completed, and had not yet been completely removed from the exterior cladding wall film.
It was a 30-storey residential building. On the roof of the building hangs the words "Champs Elysees", which can be seen from a distance.
This is obviously a real estate that is still being built while it is being put on sale. In addition to the building and the sales department, the rest of the fenced areas are either being excavated or have not yet been built. An excavator sits alone on a mound of dirt, bundles of rebar laid on the ground. The foundation pit was filled with water, and the wasteland next to it was overgrown with weeds. It looks like it hasn't been touched for a long time.
There was a lot of movement in the convoy. In particular, the trucks with a high load capacity and the fuel tankers used as supplies are the core of the entire fleet. In the distance, several vague figures wrirmed in the wilderness, possibly living corpses wandering there in search of food. Huang He stood at the gate, and when all the vehicles entered, he immediately closed the gate and fastened the chain with a new lock.
Dozens of people walked out of the building and the sales department.
Mostly men, with a few of them looking very strong. Their clothes were dirty, they hadn't been washed for a long time, and they were stained with all kinds of unnamed stains. The men's hair was soaked with dampness and sweat, and the dust and plaster that had been adsorbed on the surface congealed together and turned into stiff strips. They held weapons such as clubs and knives in their hands, their nails were long, and black dirt in the shape of a crescent moon could be seen.
A middle-aged man at the head looked quite clean, and the few strong men standing beside him looked pretty good. The man's gaze was a little frightened, more angry and dissatisfied. Without waiting for Liu Tianming to speak, he strode forward and asked very unhappily, "Who are you?" How can you break in without saying hello? This is a private place, and you'd better get out now. ”
Huang He and Luo Kuan walked up from behind, Liu Tianming stretched out his hand to block them, and said to the man quietly: "We have a problem and need to find a place to stay for a few days." ”
These people are ordinary people, who have not been infected by the virus, and are supposed to be survivors who have gathered nearby. Liu Tianming noticed that the guys who looked like bodyguards next to the middle-aged man were all holding pistols. It seems like there are two people, or three.
The tone of his voice was not strong, and the anger on the middle-aged man's face faded slightly. He parted the crowd, walked to the front, looked at Liu Tianming and the rest of the team, and then turned to look at the trucks parked in the clearing.
As long as you are not blind, you can see the heavy machine guns mounted on military trucks. Qi Yuanchang and the others stood in the carriage with the tarpaulin removed, holding assault rifles in their hands. and Huang He and others standing below were all armed with guns. Although the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground, as long as there was an emergency, they would immediately level the muzzle of the gun and rain down on anyone who dared to pose a threat to Liu Tianming.
The balance of force between the two sides is simply disproportionate.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt that the anger that had risen to his chest was gone, leaving only the multiplied fear, and even the tone of his voice was much lower than just now: "You guys...... How long do you want to stay? ”
"Let's wait for a week!"
Liu Tianming thought for a while and added, "Maybe it will be delayed for a few days." It's a definite thing, but it won't be delayed for long. ”
This sentence made the man's heart slowly fall. He thought for a few seconds, glanced at Liu Tianming, and walked towards the back of the convoy. Liu Tianming didn't quite understand what the man meant, frowned, and turned around to follow.
The man stopped next to the truck and watched as he pulled away from the crowd for dozens of meters, he lowered his voice: "Listen, I don't have a lot of control over this place. Especially the people who come out of the building, they don't follow my orders 100 percent. It's a messy situation right now, and we need to help each other. You want a place to live, don't you? No problem! There were a lot of empty houses in that building. Even if there are several times as many of your people, you can live. But...... I can't do this in vain, you have to give me some practical benefits. ”
Liu Tianming showed a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Why, do you still have to collect rent?" Go ahead! How much do you want? ”
The man's expression was a little embarrassed, and his words were a little annoyed: "It's not funny. You've got to give me something. Honestly, this place is nice. There is a supply of groundwater and a lot of coal is stockpiled. You can stay very comfortably here. That's right, you have guns, and all of us combined are no match for yours. But you have to understand that I can help you save yourself from all the trouble. My conditions are not excessive, as long as you agree, you can move in now. ”
His attitude, though tough, was only opportunistic. To be precise, this is a negotiation, not a threat. Even if Liu Tianming refused, the man was helpless against him. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
