When the morning came, all the preparations had been completed, ten carts with full fuel tanks, more than 40 war horses, and more than 600 men and women, Zhang Xiaoqiang's off-road vehicle was running in front, and the crowded convoy in the rear followed closely, and soon, the convoy left the grassland and drove towards the Gobi farther away.

When the reddish-brown mountains appeared in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiaoqiang breathed a deep sigh of relief, the imaginary wolf flag did not appear, if he really encountered an ambush, only relying on hundreds of soldiers in the convoy without fighting spirit and a heavy machine gun, two 23mm machine guns may not be able to block it.

The convoy stopped at the mouth of the rift, looking at the dried corpses that had become mummies on the ground, Zhang Xiaoqiang led the team into the depths of the rift, here is still the same as before, hundreds of corpses and thousands of zombie bones are waiting on the ground to turn into loess, people have gone down to the car, looking at their new home, although the human corpses are not rotting, but the smell of zombie decay is really bad, no one dares to complain, this will be a new home that can provide them with shelter.

The corpses were pushed aside by the forklift to be incinerated, and the vigilant teams climbed to the highest part of the mountain to build sentry positions, and machine gun positions were also built in the rock crevices of the Rift Valley Pass, and the artillery groups were hidden in natural rock crevices, and several layers of thick sandbags were stacked outside, so that even if the mortar hit them head-on, they could save them to the maximum.

With the high mountains as the walls, the machine guns as the defensive firepower, and the hard and fire-resistant cement houses as their residences, the hundreds of survivors finally settled down, although the golden wolf flag in this place also knew, but they would never have thought that in the depths of the Gobi, where grazing and planting could not be made, there would be people willing to settle down.

Zhang Xiaoqiang just wanted to make the Golden Wolf Banner unexpected, so far, he has formulated a plan to attack the Golden Wolf Banner to be postponed indefinitely, there is no rear, no logistics, no place for soldiers to stay, Zhang Xiaoqiang does not expect them to dare to fight hard.

There are a lot of various materials here, even there are dozens of tons of coal, but there is only no food, only a few pumps can pump water from the depths of the ground, but there is also a lack of diesel, the diesel fuel of the fleet can only ensure that the pumping planes can be used for a month, if the pumps are used, the vehicles will have no fuel.

Everything started from scratch, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had people build a huge cistern out of cement from the warehouse, and as long as the cistern was filled, it would be able to be used for a long time, and the 24-hour tap water supply would be a luxury now.

The three-story office building became Mr. Zhang's private property, and in one office, Mr. Zhang found a large map of Mongolia, most of which were marked with mines, but Mr. Zhang found what he was looking for, the towns or villages along the highway.

Seeing the dense place names and Sumu towns on the map, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was moved, although most of the villages were looted by the survivors, but those Sumu towns with a certain population would not necessarily be captured, if so, they would be able to get some food and oil.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoqiang asked the girl to find Zhao Jun and Zhou Jie, when Zhou Jie and the two entered the office, Zhang Xiaoqiang was looking at the map on the wall, and he used a red signal pen to circle several Sumu towns and calculate the length of the national highway.

Zhou Jie and the others were also excited when they saw the map, they did not lack maps, but they lacked high-precision maps, these maps generally do not flow out, now with this map, there is no need to send people to investigate everywhere as before, looking for material points that have not been cleaned up.

"What do you think, what do you know about Su Mu?"

Zhou Jie obviously stayed in Inner Mongolia for a long time, so he said it first:

"The main population of Inner Mongolia is Han and Mongolian, of which the gathering place of Han people is divided by counties, and the Mongolians are divided by flags, under the county is the township, and the face is Sumu, which is the same as the Mongolian side, only in Inner Mongolia."

Zhang Xiaoqiang finally understood that the so-called Sumu was the local township government in that area, which governed dozens or several villages, with certain public buildings, banks, police stations, and of course, gas stations.

"Zhao Jun, what kind of army did you belong to before?"

When Zhao Jun heard this, he first wanted to refuse to answer, and then he thought that it was the end of the world now, and there was no so-called confidentiality clause, so he replied a little depressedly:

"We belong to the border guards, but not the border regiments, because we should be regarded as garrisons in various banner counties, and my brothers and I are the remnants of a banner army, who fled here and settled in the bazaar, and there are many like us on the grassland, including border guards and customs, the border guard corps of the armed police, as well as radar soldiers, checkpoints, and so on."

Now Zhang Xiaoqiang understood that Zhao Jun belonged to the second-line troops, and the border regiment was a field army, so Zhao Jun didn't know where the border regiment was stationed, otherwise he wouldn't have let the Mongols find those large equipment first.

"Tomorrow morning, Zhao Jun will take a search team, a squad of soldiers, plus a cavalry reconnaissance squad, dispatch five trucks, and follow me to search for those Sumu and villages, and Zhou Jie will take the rest of the soldiers to defend ......"

The curtain is lonely, the sun sets over the long river, these two ancient poems are to describe the customs of the desert, but Zhang Xiaoqiang can't taste this kind of leisurely situation, outside the car window, there is all desolate sand and gravel, and occasionally you can see a canopy of dead grass growing in the stone crevices, except for the old national highway that is buried by the wind and sand in front of them, only the approximate outline of the old national highway remains.

You can't see any green along the way, occasionally you can see some cement buildings and broken yurts, only to find that there is nothing usable in it, the village here is different from the mainland, the village here is called Gacha, there are no hundreds of households, there are more than a dozen households here, less than a few households, even on the highway line also seems lonely.

The buildings here are not as dense as those in the mainland, how long the highway is, how many buildings there will be, the buildings here are like pearls, which are very rare in the scene of all colors, which makes people feel clear.

There are also vehicles on the side of the highway, all kinds of vehicles, and even a tourist bus, all the vehicles on the side of the road have almost been looted, and the zombies have also turned into dry bones on the side of the road.

The looted was clean, not only all the luggage, clothing, but also the car parts that could be removed, spare tires, and leftover gasoline, as long as they could be taken away.

At first, the cavalry reconnaissance squad also came forward to investigate with great interest, but after seeing more, there was no interest, and the long-distance journey could most demolish people's morale, and when they arrived at a destroyed Gacha, Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered to rest inside, feed the horses with water and food, and also add water to the car engine to cool down.

The small village is no different from other places, the only difference is that it belongs to a semi-desert area, and there are far more sparse vegetation than elsewhere, and many of them have obvious greenery, which is more comfortable than the withered yellow seen along the way, and more than 30 people got out of the car one after another, each stretching his limbs, and someone found the well, and put out the cold well water to wash the sand and dust on his head.

Zhang Xiaoqiang takes Meow Meow with him wherever he goes, Meow Meow has eased the relationship with Zhang Xiaoqiang, and she is not cold to him, but don't expect her to be good to Zhang Xiaoqiang, Meow Meow has always wanted to find her mother, so Zhang Xiaoqiang has no choice.

After lunch, Zhang Xiaoqiang decided to let the soldiers rest more, avoid the scorching sun on their heads, and asked Zhao Jun to arrange a warning point, and hide in the air-conditioned car to take a nap.

Meow Meow since the stun, like a different person, in the bazaar generally stay in the tent, gossip with the girl, look at the various books that can be found, today is different, there is no girl on the side of persuasion, Meow Meow always wants to do something, first in the village a few circles, the village is not big, Meow Meow went to the outside of the bushes, skillfully avoided a few dark whistles, ran outside the cordon.
