The area under the control of Chengwei Si was about the same size as a prefecture-level city before the war. The garrison here numbered more than 10,000 men, and the gendarmerie numbered 60 men.

The garrison basically did not maintain order in the city, and the rules of the Eastern Region were maintained by the sixty-man gendarmerie. Some people underestimate the number of gendarmerie members, but when there is any instability in the city, the gendarmes will burst out with great combat effectiveness, and use iron and blood to make everyone obey the rules of the Eastern Region.

The city is almost entirely full of high-rise buildings, and most of them are allocated to those who enter the city guard. Others are various institutions. The road is very simple, there are 19 roads in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the alleys between the buildings are also equipped with surveillance. In other words, if you get into trouble and want to escape, you can only run through these nineteen paths, which is very, very difficult. The four city guards only escaped from the Ling family of three, and this was the only time.

Stationed in the 23rd Defense District of the Fourth City Guard is a company, and the company commander doesn't know what to do, and today the deputy company commander is in charge of Gao Ziqiang.

Gao Ziqiang sat alone in the office, looking tangled, as if he couldn't make up his mind about something. After a while, he pulled open the drawer, took out half of the cigar inside, and said fiercely: "Just take a few puffs and it will be extinguished." ”

After the nuclear war, tobacco was extremely scarce, and only one place in the Eastern Region could grow tobacco and cigars, but in very small quantities. It is said that the cigars and cigarettes were delivered to the capital, where the members of parliament took a sip. The garrison was sometimes rewarded with a box of cigars for meritorious service.

In last year's beast tide, the 23rd Defense Zone was very brave. The company was given a box of cigars, the company commander took two, the deputy company commander each gave one to each of them, and the remaining few were given to the bravest soldiers. In fact, everyone was reluctant to smoke, Gao Ziqiang smoked the half, it took a long time, and the remaining half was about to become a treasure.

Just lit it, and before I took a bite, suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Report!" ”

Frightened, Gao Ziqiang almost didn't drop his cigar on the ground. He hurriedly extinguished it and let people in.

It was a young warrior who came in, he greedily took a puff of the wafting cigar smoke, and said uprightly: "Report sir, a couple of men and women have been found outside the city and want to enter the city guards. ”

Gao Ziqiang carefully locked the cigar cigarette in a drawer, loaded the pistol, and walked out with the officer and soldier.

The key to open the high-voltage electric door of the 23rd Defense Zone was in Gao Ziqiang's hand, he came to the door of the Defense Zone, and was the first to see a very handsome and beautiful girl through the door, and next to her was a young man who seemed to be thrown into the crowd and could no longer be found.

"You're quite capable, and you've come to the thirty-kilometer beast area like this?" Gao Ziqiang didn't open the door, but asked first.

"Our elders were fishermen, and after the outbreak of nuclear war, with a small navy moved to an island. Everyone helped each other over the years. Didn't want to go to the bottom of the sea some time ago. The volcano erupted, and the island shook violently, killing and injuring many people. The living were forced to leave the island and return to land. After landing, we spotted your radio waves, and we were overjoyed and headed here. Who knew that there would be more than 100 people who would walk into the beast area, and now there are only two of us left alive. Su Qing lied with her eyes open, her pretty face was full of sadness, her big eyes seemed to be foggy, and she was about to cry when she saw it.

Gao Ziqiang looked at the two, the woman was carrying an automatic pistol, and the man was carrying an AMB. The firepower is okay, and it makes sense that it took more than a hundred people to come here after more than 100 deaths.

He sighed as he opened the door: "You guys, you have no experience. If you can receive radio waves, find a way to contact us by fireworks or other means. Our garrison will send elite soldiers to take you into the city. There will be no heavy casualties. Alas, what a pity! Come on in. ”

Wang Rong and Su Qing walked into the high-voltage electric door, and the soldiers wearing chemical protective suits on both sides immediately shouted: "Don't walk around, you may be carrying the virus of the beast area." Come with us for a medical check-up, burn your clothes, and change into clean clothes here. By the way, remove the weapon first. ”

Wang Rong held AMB with his backhand, and he had no intention of surrendering the gun at all.

Gao Ziqiang sneered: "What's wrong? The gun is in the person, the gun is dead? ”

Su Qing handed over the automatic pistol in her hand and explained with a smile: "Sir, this AMB is his father's relic, and all the bullets in it are gone." Staying with me is also a memento. Accommodating, right? ”

It is comfortable to talk to a beautiful woman, Gao Ziqiang looked at that beautiful face, and secretly thought that he was almost thirty years old, and he was not married yet. This girl is new to the city and doesn't understand anything. When you settle down, you have nothing to do to talk to her, take her around the city guard, it is best to get her a position as a primary school teacher, in time, this girl has not married into the Gao family?

I was thinking about it happily, and suddenly thought of soliciting surrogacy, the girl in front of me was young and beautiful, but I was afraid that this level would not be able to pass, and I couldn't help but be proud, and the idea suddenly dropped a few grades, or get it as a lover for a period of time.

If Su Qing knew what he was thinking, he would definitely take the pistol back and punch a dozen transparent holes in him.

Gao Ziqiang instructed his subordinates: "Check AMB, and if there is no bullet, give him a souvenir." ”

After inspection, Wang Rong and Su Qing entered the epidemic prevention area. The men and women entered different rooms, and the first thing Wang Rong had to do was to take off all the clothes on his body, and the anti-chemical soldiers threw his clothes and shoes into the fire pool as if they were holding bombs.

After one examination after another, the doctor in charge of Wang Rong couldn't help but say: "Your luck is really good, there are no nuclear war sequelae and no cancer, and among the people I have examined, your physical condition is the best." Young, strong and energetic. What an envy! ”

Wang Rong knows that because of problems such as the ozone layer and the radiation dust from nuclear warfare, the health of human beings has dropped significantly, and his physique is so good, it can be regarded as a special case.

The doctor wearing a mask coughed a few times and said abruptly: "My skin cancer is already very serious, and I can't live long." Young man, you have to be strong to live. ”

Wang Rong nodded: "Thank you!" ”

Every day on a desert island is on the verge of death, and he fights every day to survive. The belief and determination to survive, I am afraid that no one can be stronger than him.

After the inspection, Wang Rong took the blue clothes and cloth shoes in the examination room and put them on, walked out of the door, and happened to meet Su Qing, who had also completed the inspection.

Suddenly, a female doctor chased out of Su Qing's examination room, she seemed to be angry, and scolded: "Why are you walking so fast? I haven't told you yet. You are still a virgin, and now the population is declining very much, you have to find someone to marry as soon as possible and have more children. Now why rats are strong, because they can live. Don't talk about what love feels like, one word, raw! ”

Su Qing's face was as red as the sunset, and she turned her head angrily, didn't you say this earlier? It's just that she screams so loudly in front of Wang Rong, she is a virgin and a child, so you can't let people live?

Wang Rong rubbed his ears: "Just now, the ear drum was checked for shock, what are you talking about?" Can you hear me? ”

While rubbing, he walked out of the examination room.

Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, Su Qing still looked at Wang Rong gratefully and walked out with his footsteps.

The two inspection reports had already reached Gao Ziqiang's hands, and Su Qing and Wang Rong had also come to his office.

Gao Ziqiang sat firmly on the leather chair, took out the cigar in the drawer, smoked the cigar, and absolutely showed off his wealth in the city of Guards. He exhaled a puff of smoke leisurely: "I have read all your reports. Wang Rong, you are very healthy, I am going to recruit you as a recruit, and after participating in the two-month training, I will report to our 23rd Defense District. ”

"Su Qing? That's a good name, well, great. Gao Ziqiang looked at Su Qing with a smile: "You can read arithmetic, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"In the name of the commander of the 23rd Defense District, I will write you a letter of recommendation. Soon a school should invite you to be a teacher. Gao Ziqiang said proudly: "The four words of the commander of the defense area are very powerful in the city guard, you don't have to worry." ”

"As for housing!" Gao Ziqiang said: "There is a vacant room on the first floor of Building 8 of North and South 19th Avenue. More than 40 square meters. Small is a little smaller, we will be friends in the future, I will help you find a way to change to a big house. ”

Gao Ziqiang is for his own plans, and the 19th Avenue in the north and south is almost next to the military camp of the 23rd Defense Zone. When he takes a break, he can walk to Building 8 to be a 'guest'.

"Then thank you, sir!" Su Qing replied with a smile.

Looking at Su Qing, who was smiling and smiling, Gao Ziqiang was very satisfied, and when he looked at Wang Rong again, he couldn't wait to drive him to the new barracks immediately.

"Don't worry about food, you went to Building 8, and every day's meal, there is a pie. I can't starve you. It's just that the house is empty, and if you want any furniture and supplies, you have to pay for the city guards, whether you join the army or work, you can all get contribution points. These contributions can be exchanged for items with the management of the city. After Gao Ziqiang finished explaining, he looked at the clock on the table, and it was almost time to hand over the shift, so he called in a soldier and ordered: "I have to leave in advance, and other commanders will take turns in a while, just give him today's form." ”

Gao Ziqiang looked at the two of them with a smile: "It just so happens that I am on duty, and I am in a good mood today, so I will personally send you to Building 8 and let you recognize the way." ”

Walking out of the barracks, the three of them became a scenery on the road. The military uniform is tall and self-reliant, and the two newcomers wearing blue epidemic prevention suits are particularly eye-catching wherever they go.

Gao Ziqiang is right, the commander of the defense area is indeed very powerful, and the people on the road just look at it and dare not say much.

Su Qing is a girl who is very good at clichés, and a few words made Gao Ziqiang proud, and she began to brag about it, simply praising herself as if there was nothing in the sky or in the earth.

The conversation gradually shifted to the Eastern Region, and Su Qing interjected coldly and asked, "Then the capital of the Eastern District should be more prosperous and lively than the four city guards, right?" Do you know how to go from the castle guard to live in the capital, sir? ”

Gao Ziqiang was stopped by this question at once. Wang Rong was silent, but he also pricked up his ears to listen.

After a moment of silence, Gao Ziqiang said dejectedly: "It's too difficult, usually the capital sends people to the city guards, and the city guards ...... Let's put it this way, if you go into the city and find a scientist or a well-known doctor, you will be sent to the capital after confirming his level. But you also know that in this world, the vast majority of people who can survive to the city guard are young people who can run and fight, and their knowledge level is not much higher. ”

Wang Rong interjected: "Then if you are particularly able to fight and run, can't you go to the capital to be a garrison?" ”

Gao Ziqiang sneered: "There are sixty gendarmes here, if you can defeat any of them, I will guarantee you to go to the capital." Don't dream, boy, any one of them will beat you to a pulp. ”
