87_87057 (For the sake of coherence of the plot, only two chapters can be combined, 6,000 words, only one more today)

As the destination got closer and closer, the team's speed involuntarily increased slightly.

Due to the addition of Bai Qi and other five newcomers, the connection of the team has become a little scattered.

Li Wenchang was about to order everyone to slow down, when four infected people suddenly rushed out of the building next to him.

The incident happened at the moment when everyone's vigilance was relaxed, and Li Wenchang's well-trained subordinates reacted a little indiscriminately, and although they successfully shot three infected, they were accidentally pounced into the team by the infected who had been running behind their companions.

Bai Qi, who had long been accustomed to this situation, threw away his rifle and flew up, colliding with the infected.

This infected person should have been a burly black man with great strength, and immediately threw Bai Qi to the ground, and Bai Qi, who had no time to draw his knife, could only wrestle with it desperately, trying to push it away from himself, and shouting at the same time: "Yellow hair!" ”

Without hesitation, Huang Mao shot back, shattering the infected's head.

Bai Qi's courage and Huang Mao's accurate marksmanship made this crisis invisible, leaving none of the subordinates who had complained about Officer Li's special care for this group of newcomers had nothing to say.

Officer Lee immediately reorganized the team, told everyone to be vigilant, and pressed the speed to move on.

When it was getting dark, the team finally returned to the police station building.

San Francisco's police department building is a slightly older six-story red building, with two gates made of thick solid wood and strong iron bars on the windows on the first and second floors.

Due to the abundance of ammunition in the early days, both the gates and windows of the police building were well preserved.

The sentry on the roof of the building saw this group of people from a distance, and when the team approached the building, the gate suddenly opened, and four white men rushed out of the gate and formed a defensive line in front of the gate, Bai Qi and the others quickly ran into the building with Officer Li's men.

Officer Lee was the last to do so, and only after everyone had entered the gate did he and the four white men who formed the line retreat back to the gate, and the two white men guarding the gate quickly closed the gate.

Inside the gate was a hall, Officer Li waved his hand to let his men disperse, and said to Bai Qi: "I think Officer Charlie and Daniel should have been waiting for you in the conference room on the top floor, come with me." ”

Bai Qi followed Officer Charlie up to the top floor from the safe passageway, through a long hallway, and came to the door of the conference room.

Ever since they entered this building, Officer Li had been very relaxed, and this kind of relaxation had never been experienced by Bai Qi since they entered this world.

Coming to the door of the conference room, Officer Li pushed open the door, turned back to Bai Qi and the others and said, "Please come in." ”

The conference room was large enough to look like it could accommodate thirty or forty people at once, but at this point there were only four people seated.

Sitting in the chair of the conference room was a middle-aged white man who looked to be in his thirties, with curly chestnut hair, a high nose, deep-set eyes, golden eyes, and a rigid and stern face, giving people a stereotypical and rigid feeling.

To the left of the chair sat a black man and a white man.

The black man wore a worn basketball vest, revealing a broad chest, thick arms, full of muscles, even if he sits, he gave people a tower-like feeling, he had short curly hair, a square face, thick lips made him look very steady, and a pair of eyes were extremely deep and sharp, making people dare not look directly.

At the head of the black man sat a large Nordic man, he had blond messy hair, a short golden beard, dark blue eyes, and extremely white skin.

Opposite the Nordic man sat a handsome young white man, who looked a little like the male protagonist in the spy shadow, although young, he gave people a deep and steady feeling.

There was still an empty stool at the head of the young white man.

Officer Li walked into the office with Bai Qi and said to them: "These are survivors from the southern part of the city, and they had to move into the city because of the invasion of the southern coyote pack to find us. ”

The stereotyped middle-aged white man sitting in the chairman's seat stood up and said to Bai Qi, "Welcome, fellow citizens, after this calamity, every human being seen alive is worth celebrating, please be seated, friends." ”

Bai Qi bowed slightly and said, "Yes, you are right, seeing that there are so many survivors here, I am full of hope for living again, and I am very grateful for your generosity in accepting us." ”

The stereotypical middle-aged white man smiled and waved, "Please be seated, my friend." ”

After Bai Qi saluted slightly, he waved everyone to sit down, and Officer Li also walked over to the head of the handsome young white man and sat down, it seemed that this position was reserved for him.

After everyone was seated, the stereotypical white man introduced himself, "I'm Sheriff Charlie Bernard, the leader of this survivor gathering point, and I welcome you once again." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the black man sitting on his right hand and said, "This is Daniel King, and he and Officer Lee are my right-hand men." ”

Then he pointed to the young white man under Officer Lee and said, "This is Austin Helsinki, a veteran Marine who fought in the past, and now he is our military advisor and instructor. ”

Finally, he pointed to the Nordic man and briefly introduced: "This is Anderson, Daniel's assistant." Okay, now Officer Li, tell me how you managed to find these friends? ”

Officer Li briefly explained the process of his encounter with Bai Qi and the five of them, and when he said that he had seen Bai Qi kill an infected person with his bare hands, the other four people all had different expressions.

Both Charlie and Austin found it a little incredulous.

Daniel, a black man, looked a little gloomy, and from what he knew about Officer Lee, he knew that the other party would not lie or exaggerate about such a thing. These five people are all Chinese, and it stands to reason that they are all Officer Li's natural subordinates, and it would be fine if they were weak, but if they were all as strong as Officer Li said, it would upset the balance of power in this group of people, which was obviously what Daniel did not want to see.

As for Anderson, the Nordic man, he probably didn't hear what Officer Li was saying at all, since Feng Yan and the three of them walked in, his eyes have been roaming back and forth on these three women, and he didn't hide the greed on his face at all.

Charlie said with some disapproval: "Mr. Bai, please forgive me, I don't think that giving up firearms and using cold weapons to fight the infected is a sign of bravery, on the contrary, I think this is irresponsible for my own life." ”

Bai Qi shrugged and said: "The use of cold weapons is also a last resort, you know, as a student who is not an American citizen, I don't have a firearm, at the beginning of the disaster, except for kitchen knives, I couldn't find any other weapons, and then the food at home ran out, so I had to use the old machine qì found in the basement of the landlord to make a dagger and a shield for myself, and rely on these two rudimentary weapons to go outside to find food." ”

"It is precisely because of this difficult experience that I gradually overcome my fear of the infected, and I have learned some skills in fighting the infected at the cost of blood."

"Half a month ago, because of the invasion of a group of mutant wolves, we had to enter the city, there were too many infected people along the way, four of us died under the claws of the infected, they all died in the sudden attack of the invated, in this bloody lesson, I gradually found that in fact, the use of cold weapons, in dealing with this kind of sudden attack, is more useful than firearms."

Charlie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, since you insist, it's your freedom to use whatever weapon you want." All five of you are Chinese, so it stands to reason that you should all join the team led by Li......"

Daniel interjected at this time: "I object, Lee's team is already enough, and my team is short of manpower, I think these people should be added to my team." ”

Officer Li immediately objected: "These people are all Chinese, so they should naturally be my team members, right?" ”

His last words were addressed to Charlie. But this time Charlie didn't seem to intend to support him, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but if these five people join your squad, your squad's will be too bloated, which is not reasonable, so I think these five people should be separated and join our three squads, what do you think, Lee?" ”

Officer Li immediately understood that his team originally had nine people, and if you added five Bai Qi, it would surpass the team led by Charlie, which made Charlie feel threatened, thinking of this, Officer Li was a little helpless, Charlie couldn't do without his support, but in the same way, he also needed Charlie's support, and he couldn't fall out with Charlie for the sake of five newcomers.

Officer Li could only spread his hands and agree with Charlie's opinion.

These people scrambled for distribution of the five Bai Qi people as goods, but they didn't even ask the opinions of Bai Qi and the others, Huang Mao's eyebrows gradually rose, and Qin Qing and the three of them also looked at Bai Qi with some concern.

Bai Qi gave Qin Qing and the others a reassuring look, and kicked Huang Mao hard at his feet, signaling him to listen to his own arrangement.

Next, Charlie and the others began to discuss the distribution of Bai Qi's five people. The words of the Nordic man made the five Bai Qi people change their colors in unison, if it wasn't for Bai Qi to pull it, Huang Mao almost jumped up.

The Nordic man pointed to Liu Yunxi and Feng Yan and said to Daniel: "Boss, these two girls are good, why don't you ask them over." ”

Daniel glanced over the place, and there was a hint of interest.

Most of the survivors in this group are men, and Liu Yunxi, the three beautiful women, is definitely full of temptation for these men who have been modified by the angel virus and whose hormones are far ten times more vigorous than ordinary people.

Bai Qi raised his hand at this time and said, "Regarding this issue, I wonder if I can mention a little bit of Jianyi?" ”

Daniel immediately rebuked, "You shut up for me, there's no place for you to talk here." ”

A strange light flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Are you sure?" At the same time, his hand made a throat-slitting motion under the table, and the yellow-haired four reached out without hesitation to touch the pistol on their waists.

As if provoked by Bai Qi's provocation, Daniel suddenly stood up.

At this time, Charlie hurriedly interjected: "Of course, everyone here has the right to express their opinions, isn't it Daniel?" ”

Daniel sneered and said, "Of course, but here, everyone must also obey the opinion of the majority. After speaking, he sat down slowly, waved his hand at Bai Qi, and said, "Okay, let's listen to your opinion." ”

Bai Qi smiled and stood up, and while he took off the shield behind his back, he complained, "This turtle shell is really heavy!" He took off his shield and placed it on the table.

Looking at Bai Qi's movements, Qin Qing and the four of them all knew that Bai Qi was going to kill people if he couldn't convince these people by waiting, and they would never let anyone slaughter them.

Qin Qing gestured to Liu Yunxi and Feng Yan, taking advantage of these people's contempt for women, and when everyone's attention was attracted by Bai Qi, he gently pulled the rifle that was originally behind his back to his chest.

After putting away his shield, Bai Qi said to Charlie, "I am good at hand-to-hand combat with the infeved, and I can act as a spearhead, especially when exploring the interior of buildings that are vulnerable to raids by the infected, it should be of some use. He pointed at Huang Mao again and said, "This companion of mine is very accurate in marksmanship and is an excellent soldier, which Officer Li should agree with me." ”

Seeing Bai Qi's gaze, Officer Li nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang's marksmanship is no worse than mine." ”

Listening to Officer Li's words, the four leaders were immediately moved, you must know that Li Wenchang's marksmanship is the undisputed first among these survivors, if Huang Mao's marksmanship can be comparable to Officer Li, he is definitely a figure that cannot be ignored.

"Hah!" Daniel spread his hands, made an exaggerated expression, and said, "Really? Can you show me? ”

Bai Qi nodded very politely and said, "Of course." ”

He picked up a glass on the table, turned his head and said, "Let everyone see your marksmanship." ”

Huang Mao reached out to pull out the pistol on his waist, and Bai Qi immediately said, "With a rifle." ”

Although he didn't know why Bai Qi wanted him to use a rifle, Huang Mao still obediently took off the rifle behind his back and held it in his hand.

Bai Qi threw the glass out of the broken glass window frame.

Huang Mao didn't shoot immediately, he waited for two seconds, and waited for the glass to fly nearly twenty meters away before suddenly rushing to shoot.

The glass shattered in response, Huang Mao's marksmanship has also been improving rapidly during this time, this kid seems to have infinite potential in shooting, breaking the glass flying more than twenty meters away, now it is just a piece of cake for him.

Charlie and the others were stunned for a moment, except for Li Wenchang, there was absolutely no second person in this group of survivors who had such marksmanship.

After being stunned for a moment, Charlie immediately applauded, and he said while clapping: "Thank God for sending us such a good fighter." At the same time, Charlie secretly determined to get this man under his hands, and the old-fashioned expression on his face suddenly became vivid when he looked at the yellow hair.

Bai Qi pointed at Qin Qing and the three of them and said, "I think the combined combat power of these three young ladies should be equal to the combat power of me or Mr. Zhang, so I suggest that everyone can regard the three young ladies as one person, and at the same time, I also hope that Officer Li can accept them and let them return to their compatriots." ”

Listening to Bai Qi's words, the Nordic man interjected: "Shit, the three of them should join us, I will take good care of them." ”

Bai Qi didn't pay attention to the Nordic man, he looked at Officer Li quietly, he and his subordinates should know that Qin Qing and the three of them are by no means as weak as they look like on the outside, and he should also know how powerful he and Huang Mao are.

Before Officer Li could speak, Charlie took the lead and said, "Not a bad idea, isn't it?" I agree with you, Officer Lee, what about you? ”

In fact, Officer Li wanted Huang Mao more, but it was Bai Qi, he didn't want him to join his team, although he had only been in contact for a short time, but the experienced Officer Li could see that although Huang Mao had outstanding marksmanship, he was relatively young, he had no scheming, and he could completely control it.

Bai Qi is different, from the fact that he took a mere five people across the entire city of San Francisco, you can see that he is extraordinary, even Officer Li, under the same conditions, he dare not say that he can do this. And this Bai Qi is good at close combat, if he joins his team, there will definitely be many opportunities to rescue his companions in the future, after a long time, he will definitely gain a high reputation, and it will definitely threaten his position, which Officer Li cannot tolerate, in this dangerous world, as the leader, the probability of survival is undoubtedly the highest.

This is also an important reason why Li Wenchang lightly promised Charlie to break up these five people just now.

Although he really wanted to bring Huang Mao over, but looking at Charlie's appearance, he also knew that the other party was bound to win Huang Mao, Li Wenchang weighed it for a moment, then nodded and agreed, he knew that Qin Qing and the three of them looked weak, but in fact, they were quite brave in battle, as long as they had a little training, they were three excellent soldiers, and Li Wenchang was not without ideas about the three women.

However, Li Wenchang did not plan to use strength, he believed that with his charm, it would not be difficult to defeat Bai Qi, a short man.

Thinking of this, Li Wenchang nodded and agreed.

Seeing Li Wenchang agree, Bai Qi knew that the five of them were safe for the time being, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, although he was ready to fight to the death, but in fact, once the war really started, although he was sure that everyone in this conference room would be buried together, there was not much chance of escaping from this building alive, which was naturally not what he wanted.

Seeing Li Wenchang nodding, the Nordic man knocked on the table fiercely, but he had suffered under Li Wenchang, so he could only aim his disappointment and anger at Bai Qi and stare at him viciously.

Seeing that Li Wenchang agreed, Charlie immediately proposed to ask Huang Mao to join their team, of course Daniel strongly objected, but with Li Wenchang's support, Daniel could only pinch his nose and admit Bai Qi in the end.

In the end, Charlie asked Bai Qi to hand over the food in their hands and manage it for him centrally, Bai Qi thought about it, but still felt that it was not cost-effective to risk his life for these foods, so he handed over the food.

decided the fate of Bai Qi's five people, several leaders left one after another, Bai Qi pretended to be polite and let a few leaders take the lead, he actually wanted to tell Huang Mao and them some things, but he didn't expect Li Wenchang to take the initiative to stay.

He told Bai Qi that under normal circumstances, as long as it wasn't raining, most people would spend the night on the rooftop, because there had been cases in the past where the night watchman fell asleep and the infected broke in, and the empty roof was the safest.

Li Wenchang also warned Bai Qi and told him to be careful, although Daniel would not shoot him openly, but making an excuse to send him to death was absolutely done.

When Li Wenchang left, Huang Mao immediately said angrily: "This group of people is really not a thing, boss, let's go, we can still live well if we leave here." ”

Qin Qing and the three of them also looked at him, obviously as long as he said to leave, everyone would definitely leave with him immediately.

Bai Qi thought for a while and said: "No, it's too dangerous to leave at night, Li Wenchang didn't say that we have to stay with our respective teams, the five of us don't separate, he said that most of the people are on the roof, then we will go to the third floor to rest, in case something happens at night, we will fuck it, it is more convenient to jump out of the window and escape, we go to the room in the northeast corner of the building, where the nearest building is only one street away, and it is most convenient to run." ”

Huang Mao said hatefully: "Fuck, I knew that I wouldn't have come to find any survivors, with our ability, we can live in the industrial area, and if we don't have anything to eat, we will go into the city to find it, and we may not be able to live for a hundred days." ”

Bai Qi said: "What's the use of talking about this now, in fact, didn't we think of this situation from the beginning?" There are always gains and losses in this world, and if we want to be safe, we have to pay some price, as long as we can get through the difficulties in the early stage, gain a firm foothold in this team, and stay in this team, it is definitely much better than our survival chance alone. ”

Qin Qing frowned and said: "The question is how we got through the difficulties in the early stage, when we came in, you also saw the expressions of the men along the way looking at us, it was like never seeing a woman, and I couldn't wait to rip off our clothes with our eyes." ”

Bai Qi said: "Quite simply, we must show our ability to make everyone feel that they are safer and more hopeful to live without us than without us." ”

After a pause, Bai Qi said to Qin Qing again: "The reason why I want the three of you to join Li Wenchang's team is that on the one hand, considering that yellow people are not as aggressive as whites or blacks, and I found that Li Wenchang is also very interested in you, this person is also quite good-looking, he was a policeman before, there was definitely no shortage of women before the catastrophe, and now it is not a long time before the catastrophe, I don't estimate that he will not use force on women, this can be seen from his attitude towards you, what we have to do is before Li Wenchang's patience runs out, Gain a foothold in this team and get a position at the heart of the team. ”

Bai Qi said to Huang Mao again: "Zhang Junqiang, if you have the opportunity to act with the team tomorrow, don't make any reservations, try to show your ability, and make sure everyone feels your importance." I'm the same, I'll make Daniel's men realize that their chances of survival are at least twice as good as I'm here, and that even if someone tries to disrupt us, those under my protection won't agree. ”

Huang Mao nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Bai Qi said to Qin Qing and the three of them again: "The same is true for the three of you, try your best to show your abilities, at least let everyone know that you are not easy to mess with." ”

After discussing the countermeasures, the three of them left the conference room and walked downstairs
