Chapter 8: Novice!
When the middle-aged woman heard this, Qi Qiran cried and said, "You don't care about me, I'm ...... It's almost gone. ”
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman scooped up the torn cotton jacket that covered her hands layer by layer, revealing her arms. I saw that there were three black wounds on her arm.
Wang Qiang had an ominous premonition in his heart: "This is caused by zombies?" How could you ......? ”
Wang Qiang looked up and looked around, making sure he didn't feel the breath of zombies before he buried his head and asked, "Why were you scratched by zombies, there are no zombies around here, what's going on?" ”
The middle-aged woman cried and said, "The children have been hungry for three days, and this morning I couldn't bear the hunger, so I quietly went out of the mountain...... I've heard that there was a battle on the hill two days ago and that several bounty hunters died. I wanted to see if I could find anything of value, or something to eat. ”
Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman cried and touched the little girl's face, and continued: "I didn't expect that before I got to the place, a zombie suddenly came out from behind the tree, grabbed my hand and didn't let go, it took me a lot of effort to kill the zombie, but my arm was also scratched by the zombie." ”
Wang Qiang was silent, not knowing what to say.
"I know I can't live, I'm not afraid of death, but the only thing I'm worried about is my daughter, she has a hard life, the old man was bitten to death by zombies, and now I'm going to die, but she's only thirteen years old."
The little girl looked at her mother who was crying, a trace of grief appeared on her petite and immature face, she trembled and stretched out her little hand like a chicken claw, stroked her mother's hair, and called softly: "Mom, don't cry, don't cry...... I'll be fine and don't make you angry. ”
Wang Qiang looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but get hot, but Xiao Chong on the side couldn't stop crying.
The middle-aged woman grabbed the little girl and said very seriously: "Wanwan'er, you go with them!" Listen to your uncle and big brother, don't make them angry, and you have to forget your mother. ”
……
Wang Qiang didn't know how he took the little girl away, and in the days that followed, no one would ever see the middle-aged woman who cried that day, and I heard that a bounty hunter killed a zombie behind the mountain of the grinding stone pit, which seemed to be a resident of a nearby town...... But that's all for later.
……
The little girl's surname is Cai, her name is Wanwan, and Wang Qiang likes to call her Xiaoxiaocai.
Xiaocai is a silent girl, and there is always sadness in her eyes.
Xiao Xiaocai is also a hard-working girl, since Xiao Xiaocai joined, Xiao Chong, who has always been sloppy, has greatly improved his clothes, and even with Wang Qiang, he has a clean change of clothes.
Xiao Xiaocai is still a kind-hearted girl, Wang Qiang found that the small animals around the hotel love to circle around Xiao Xiaocai, no need to ask, it must be Xiao Xiaocai quietly saved food to feed them.
"This little girl, she can't eat enough and goes to feed the animals, hey." Xiao chattered heavily, with a strange relief on his face.
Wang Qiang looked at Xiao Chong: "All of a sudden, you became verbose." ”
"Is there one?" Xiao Chonghu's body was shocked.
"Yes." Wang Qiang replied.
"It's not good, Brother Qiang, what do you have." Xiao Zhong denied.
"Well, no."
"I'll just say, Brother Qiang, I'll tell you, today I found that the little dish is ...... again," Xiao Chong chattered non-stop.
Wang Qiang suddenly remembered a line from a notebook: "Wukong, it's time to recite the mantra for the teacher." ”
After two days of settling down, Wang Qiang waited left and right, but he couldn't wait for the arrival of his follow-ups.
It is not a matter to spend so much in the hotel, Wang Qiang took Xiao Zhong to the military office building.
The building of the military office is uncharacteristic, it is two stories high, and it is simply built from felled trees, in a rough style, and this level of construction would be frowned upon if it had been placed elsewhere. But in the current millstone pit town, it is definitely a high-end building.
Wang Qiang walked downstairs and saw that the building was locked, so he clapped his hands and knocked on the door.
"It's coming, it's coming, knocking on the hair!" There was a roar from inside the building.
Then, the door opened, and a veteran dressed in a gray cotton military uniform and armed crossbody walked out of the room drunk.
"You melon baby, what are you knocking on the door for?" The old army spoke in the Bashu dialect and scolded unceremoniously.
Wang Qiang frowned, and asked patiently, "This is the military office?" ”
The old soldier didn't know where to grab a cloth bag hat and fasten it on his head, and then hummed: "You know that this is the military office, and you still came to knock on the door, are you sick?" ”
asked about the place, Wang Qiang was not polite, such a soldier and ruffian didn't need to reason with him at all.
Wang Qiang pushed away the drunken old army, and then walked straight inside.
"Alas, which one are you, stop me!" The old soldier pulled out his matching gun from the armed belt and aimed at Wang Qiang.
"If you don't stand up again, Lao Tzu will shoot you!" The old army warned.
But as soon as the words were finished, the matching gun in the old soldier's hand was gone.
Xiao Chongyi, who was following Wang Qiang, snatched the gun from the old soldier, and this drunken old soldier had a problem walking, let alone shooting.
Xiao recaptured the weapon, glanced at the old army, and went upstairs with Wang Qiang.
In the spacious room on the second floor, several soldiers in military uniforms were gathering together for lunch.
The soup pot was steaming with blood, and the soldiers sat around the fire drinking bad wine and eating meat.
"Old Deshun, who knocked on the door downstairs, from Malegobi, disturbing Lao Tzu's interest in drinking."
When a ruffian saw someone coming in, he thought it was the old army who had opened the door and returned, so he asked.
"You guys, it's okay, get together to drink wine and eat meat, it's so happy." Wang Qiang looked at the mess and couldn't help but blame in his heart.
Several soldiers and ruffians who were sitting around the fire stood up, picked up their weapons in their hands, and asked very vigilantly: "Where did you come from, you are well fed, do you know what kind of place this is, dare to break in!" ”
Wang Qiang sneered, took out a letter of appointment from his arms, and said: "Open your eyes a little and see clearly, this is the letter of appointment issued by the alliance military, and there is Colonel Wang Qiang, a special operations staff officer of the headquarters of the Third Corps of the Eastern Army, who is ordered to lead the combat matters in the grinding stone pit and the surrounding area. Since this is the military office in the grinding stone pit, which of you is in charge? ”
There has long been an order in the army to let the personnel stationed in the military office stand by and wait on the spot to cooperate with the adjustment of the military department, so everyone knows that the new chief is already on the way, but he doesn't know when he will arrive......
As soon as a few soldiers heard Wang Qiang's words, they glanced at the appointment letter in Wang Qiang's hand again, and the military seal of Douda was clearly visible, it should be a real thing!
I saw a sloppy middle-aged man dressed in a gray standing military uniform throw away the dog leg in his hand, put his feet together, and said loudly with a military salute in his hand: "Report to the chief!" The commander of the logistics company of the 3rd Regiment of the 31st Special Operations Division of the Eastern Corps, Captain Duan Feng was ordered to wait for the arrival of the commander here! Please give me the order below. ”
Wang Qiang didn't say a word, and handed over the military's order.
Duan Feng was not ambiguous, his hands full of oil wiped indiscriminately on his military uniform, and then took the order and looked at it.
After a while, Duan Feng returned to the order, saluted Wang Qiang again, and said loudly: "Hello sir, our department will be waiting for the dispatch of the chief from now on, please instruct the chief!" ”
Seeing this, several soldiers and ruffians present saluted one after another: "Please instruct the commander!" Even the old soldier who opened the door from behind came back in a hurry, and hurriedly saluted.
Wang Qiang looked at Duan Feng, and then at the few soldiers around him, and his frowning brows soothed. According to the order of the military, the remaining personnel of the military office in the grinding stone pit will be under their own command from the moment they take office, so these people are all his subordinates.
When he came to the grinding stone pit, the military salary and materials were allocated a little by the Eastern Army, but there was a serious shortage of men and horses. I brought a regiment with me, but there were only thirty soldiers under my command, and just one platoon of men and horses was really not enough, and besides, those thirty soldiers were now delayed on the road, so now the only people who could use themselves were these people stationed in the office.
Therefore, Wang Qiang feels that it is important to get together with everyone first.
So Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Now I instruct, all of them have it, stand up and take a break, sit down and eat meat, and we will talk while eating." ”
After speaking, Wang Qiang took the lead in sitting next to the bonfire, picked up the spoon in the iron pot and scooped it into the pot.
Seeing that the new commander did not seem to have difficulty talking, the tense atmosphere eased considerably.
"What the hell, boiled like this." Xiao looked at the soup pot again, and the taste was a little poured.
"Report chief, yesterday I hunted a wild dog in the mountains, and that's what was in the pot." Duan Feng saw that Xiao Zhong and Wang Qiang were coming together, and he must have reported to the chief.
Wang Qiang groaned slightly: "The barren mountains and mountains are full of wind and snow, the wild dogs in this place not only eat the dead, but also eat zombies, you dare to eat the meat of this thing if it is not cooked well, you are not afraid of eating your little life?" ”
Several veterans looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Before Duan Feng met, the chief officer was young, and he wondered if it would be a nephew or relative of a certain bigwig in the legion, who had not lived a hard life. But Duan Feng looked back and thought about it, what did the really related master run to this place.
"Back to the sir, it's not that we're not afraid of death, it's not that we're hungry." Duan Feng explained.
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's impossible, there is no food supply in the military office?" ”
Duan Feng replied: "I've cut off supplies a long time ago, hey, it's hard these days." ”
Wang Qiang took out a large banknote from his arms, handed it to a slightly younger-looking soldier in front of him, and said, "Go to the hotel where to buy some braised pork and steamed buns, and I'll accompany everyone to eat." ”
The soldier who got the money looked overjoyed, and the dog meat didn't gnaw on it, and took the money directly, and ran out in a hurry.
The moment Wang Qiang saw that he took out the money, the eyes of the few soldiers sitting there were all red, which showed that these guys were really not having a good time.
"Duan Feng, why is the supply of the military also cut off?" Wang Qiang asked.
