"LJ, you don't have to worry! Whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a result in the end! Wang Zheng watched the bartender put two glasses of translucent wine in front of the two of them, and reminded them euphemistically.

"We got it! No matter what the end of the day, we're grateful for your help. Claire nodded knowingly, first indicating her attitude, and then said, "Maybe you already knew from the moment we met by chance, we need help!" ”

Wang Zheng nodded dispensably, took a glass of slightly darker wine from Lucy's hand behind him, and gestured to the two.

Carlos couldn't wait to take a big sip, and then squirted out again. Coughing loudly, "What is this?" My God! Did I rot my tongue after I hadn't drunk for two years? He felt as if he had been punched in the stomach, and his intestines twisted together.

Claire's face quickly turned crimson, and the two looked at the bartender together.

“Everclear！ Before the catastrophe, I personally tested the treasure at the bottom of the box in a high-end club in the United States, and the alcohol content was 95 percent, which is absolutely genuine. Wang Zheng explained with a smile, and the undisguised schadenfreude on his face made the teeth of the two of them itch with hatred.

"You bastard!" The two met and smiled bitterly, scolded but involuntarily touched the wine glass again, and muttered in a low voice: "But it's really enjoyable!" That's not bad either! ”

The bartender stood beside Carlos with the bottle in his arms, holding a snow-white towel in his left hand to prevent the temperature on his hands from affecting the taste of the wine. Refill Carlos from time to time!

Wang Zheng took out a raw-edged cigar box from his body, took out one, and gestured to Claire, ignoring the mercenary who was already drunk with alcohol. After seeing her waving her hand, she carefully put it away. "Cuban cigars that have been hidden for a long time." Although I don't know very much, my appraiser told me it was from the Roosevelt era. The taste is very pure, so I like it a little! ”

Claire was unmoved, staring at Wang Zheng with straight eyes and said, "I heard Carlos mention you, and I also know that you are a brave and resourceful person. I'd love to congratulate you on your escape from the threat of a nuclear bomb, but I can't help but wonder who you really are when you set up camp. ”

Wang Zheng saw that the other party was not fascinated by the enjoyment in front of him, but asked calmly. I didn't feel some admiration in my heart, so I simply gave up the idea of continuing to play. With a chuckle, he said unhurriedly, "You want to ask." Am I not an umbrella company after all? ”

"It's okay to say that!" Claire didn't deny it.

Wang Zheng picked up the cigar cutter and carefully cut the two ends, put it on the special flue-cured cigarette gun and turned it gently, and said with a smile: "Then you can rest assured." We are not an umbrella company. Or maybe it's an enemy! ”

Claire's expression remained unchanged, and she continued: "Then who are you, if you are a hostile organization. It seems a little too general. Judging by the current state of the world, I can conclude that all the survivors in this world are their enemies. ”

The moisture of the cigar is gradually forced out of the tobacco leaves, and a rich aroma slowly spreads. Wang Zheng picked it up and looked at it, lit the front section, took a deep sip in his mouth, and said easily: "You can understand us as careerists who take advantage of the situation." Or highly exclusive mutual aid organizations. ”

"Huh? Good smoke! ”

The aroma of smoke slowly spread, and Carlos, who was immersed in the illusion of fine wine, was instantly attracted to sober up a little, jumped up with a scream, snatched the cigar from Wang Zheng's hand, and put it in his mouth. Snuggled back into the couch.

Wang Zheng was slightly stunned, and then as if nothing had happened, he took out one from his arms again and repeated the action just now.

I can snatch things from my own hands. Even if you don't care about the cigar in your hand, it's not something that ordinary people can do. It seems that many years of wandering career of fighting and killing. has honed this man's strength even stronger.

Wang Zheng was slightly vigilant in his heart, but Claire didn't notice anything abnormal, and continued: "No matter what kind of organization you are, we want to join!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Zheng was slightly stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said, "Give me a reason!" ”

"You are strong, technologically advanced, and you are the enemy of the umbrella. It is the only force we have seen in five years that has the strength to build a homeland, and my convoy is almost running out of gas, and my people have been dying for nearly half a year, and now there are less than forty people. Only you have the strength to help us. Claire lowered her head and took a sip of wine, her eyes brightened more and more, and she said a little distractedly, "But I know that a big organization like yours can't look down on wanderers like us." But for Carlos's sake, give us a chance! ”

Carlos had also sat up at this time, looking at Wang Zheng with burning eyes, and the yearning light simply made him a little creepy.

"Impossible!" Furyk, who was sitting on Wang Zheng's left, suddenly vetoed.

The two of them only felt that God had cruelly closed the last door, their eyes instantly reddened, and they stared at Furyk and roared, "Why? ”

"Humanity and your value aside, you can't achieve the individual combat effectiveness of our soldiers alone." Furyk was not moved at all by the knife-like eyes, and said coldly: "Recruit you for at least three months, and it will have no effect other than consuming our food reserves. Besides, we also have a mission on this trip, so there is no reason for you to be a burden! ”

"Of course!" Lucy picked up the conversation and said, "If you have a skill, maybe our scientific research and logistics department will consider it, but ......"

"But what?" The two hurriedly asked. They were also confused by the method of beating a stick and a sweet date, and they had no time to pay attention to the traps in Lucy's words.

"But the base is very far from here, and you won't get any guarantees until someone comes to review it." Lucy paused slightly and said, "We have our own tasks to complete, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that time." ”

Claire and the two were a little disappointed, although they were a little indignant at each other's refusal, but in this last day, they can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. At least he didn't attack himself with great strength. The only thing that is a little difficult to accept is the loss of hope again.

Wang Zheng looked at the expressions of the two, and obviously changed to this heart. The dark passage can't be fun, and it's not good to look at it if it's self-defeating. So he proposed: "Although they have not received military training, they may have the ability to survive a long wandering life that we do not know." Why not just hire them to help us with our mission at the cost of food. ”

Claire's eyes lit up, and they stared nervously at Furyk, afraid to spit out another veto from his mouth.

Furyk was silent for a while, looked up at the two of them, and said, "There is no clear rule in the rules that this situation is not allowed, and I don't want to express my opinion." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wang Zheng saw that the two of them were still a little stunned, and knocked on the table funny: "He is like this, so he actually agrees!" ”

"Yay! That's great! Carlos roared excitedly, jumped up and drank the wine in his hand.

"Pu-!"

Wang Zheng looked at Carlos who was about to fall on the sofa speechlessly, turned his head to Claire and said, "He's drunk!" I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you, so you can rest for a while, or go back and talk to your staff. We'll talk about the rest in the evening. ”

Claire turned her head to look at Carlos, who was already completely drunk, and nodded helplessly. said: "I'd better go back, there are some things to discuss with someone!" He got up and carried him on his shoulders, said hello and walked out.

"LJ, I'll have someone send you back!" Wang Zheng looked at Claire, who was carrying a man step by step, and lightly spit out a smoke ring, which passed away with the wind.

Claire didn't look back, just waved her hand, and walked out more and more briskly.

At night, the moon in the sky is tightly obscured by thick clouds, and there is not a trace of moonlight. The ground is still brightly lit, and dozens of high-power lighting devices on Wang Zheng's side illuminate Claire's territory on the opposite side. The fires in front of them that were swaying in the wind looked unusually pitiful.

In the afternoon, as Wang Zheng expected, the return of the three Clay people did make a lot of noise. After all, the three of them walked in well, and two of them came out sideways, which made the other senior cadres who stayed behind extremely angry.

However, after Claire played her tongue and explained without a match, everyone understood the whole story with tears and laughter. Some people are angry and feel that Wang Zheng's forces have no sympathy. Some people are grateful, feeling that they are finally about to get out of the sea of suffering. But more people kept calm, but the brighter and brighter light of hope in their hearts was their unusually warm.

LJ's fight against the virus consumes his physical strength and falls into a coma, and Carlos falls drunk without drinking for many years. Plus a Claire who looks like she's going down at any time. The convoy had been circling around them all afternoon.

By the time Claire came to her senses again, night had covered the land.

"Awake?" Carlos suddenly appeared beside her, arrogantly holding a big cigar and puffing a cigarette.

Claire scolded angrily, "Carlos, did you finally smoke your head by smoking?" Don't ask such idiotic questions, pull me up quickly. We're going to go over there and talk about what's next. ”

Carlos pulled her up and said, "Do you believe what he says?" ”

"How else!" Claire moved her hands and feet, looked up at the dark sky, and sighed, "We don't have any other choice, do we?" ”
