Outside the city.

Standing on the ruins of the city wall, when Li Ba witnessed the place where the missile attack was carried out, he couldn't help but feel a raging anger in his heart.

Not far ahead, there is a huge deep pit, with an area of 50 square meters, which is still filled with gunsmoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder. The Mutant Plant Defense Ring near the pit was razed entirely. Even if they are as strong as the Ironwood Tree Man, they have no ability to resist under the attack of the large-scale killing weapon invented by humans.

Fortunately, the warhead landed outside the city walls, and the place where it collapsed was only affected by the shock wave, and the damage was not very large. If the warhead hits the wall directly, he believes that the entire outer wall will collapse, and the casualties will be even worse.

"Boss."

Yuan Dong came. His face was also full of anger. The city guards under him suffered nearly 100 casualties, and it would be okay if he fought with zombies, but all of this was due to man-made disasters.

"Infighting has never been interrupted since the birth of mankind, especially in China...... From ancient times to the present, there has been endless infighting! ”

Li Ba didn't come to sigh, inexplicably touched. Then, he turned to look at Yuan Dong and said in a deep voice: "The families of the brothers who died will be given the highest pension, and the injured will be sent to the headquarters for treatment." ”

"Yes." Yuan Dong nodded. Turn around and do it.

Li Ba stayed where he was, standing on the ruins, looking into the distance, thinking about a way to resolve the crisis.

The sun is setting. The golden light illuminates the earth, and although the city walls of Xibu City have endured senseless disasters and damaged walls, it still looks magnificent in the sunset.

"This is my home...... No one, don't want to hurt my family, and my family. ”

Li Ba muttered silently in his heart. Looking at the provincial highway facing north, it seems to be waiting. There was a faint burn on his face.

When the sun is setting and night falls. A Humvee off-road speeded in from the provincial road to the north. When Li Ba saw it, he jumped up. The toes slid through the ruins and masonry, and the body was like a shock, and in a few breaths came to the provincial road intersection. It is also a necessary place to pass through the gate of Xibu City.

Thorn -

The screeching sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was heard. The galloping Humvee stopped beside Li Ba.

"Boss!"

Yang Jian was the first to get out of the car. In addition to him, there are Feng Xiaoyang and five other people. Of these five people, only one Li Ba knows, that is, the young man who guards the Jiang family's medicine garden, Jiang Gu.

Don't look at Jiang Gu's young age, but he is an out-and-out fifth-level spiritual deviant. And the other four. He is also a spiritual deviant from various settlements. They have different evolutionary skills, but they have one thing in common, they all have the ability to detect spirits.

Li Ba summoned Yang Jian, and took advantage of the good business relationship established between the Harvest Trading House and various settlements to transfer five mentally deviant people as soon as possible. Counting Yang Jian and Li Ping, another mental deviant under his command, they are ready to launch a carpet search of Xibu City. Be sure to find out all the infrared laser emitting devices that are placed in the city.

"Excuse me, everyone!"

Li Ba smiled and nodded in greeting. Yang Jian and Feng Xiaoyang didn't mention it, Jiang Gu and the other five people had already learned about their mission before they came.

"Bald man, psychic detection is very laborious. You have to do the logistics, or don't blame me for picking on it! Jiang Gu pursed his lips and said. He is still a child, and he is still a little unhappy about what Li Ba did before. It's not polite to speak.

"Twenty catties of mutant royal jelly per person, it has already been prepared!"

Li Ba said with a smile. Ask people to do things, and work in this aspect of logistics. He had already arranged it.

"Boss Li, rest assured, we will do our best to help." A young beauty said. Introduced by Yang Jian. Li Ba learned that this woman's name was Cheng Qiong, a person from the Liangcheng settlement. is also the sister of his friend Cheng Xi.

"Thank you."

Li Ba cast a grateful gaze, and after that, he said to everyone: "The situation is urgent, so I won't say more." After entering the black, everyone divided into two teams, and the search began from the north and south. ”

"Okay."

There was no objection from the crowd. After that, Yang Jian led a team, and Feng Xiaoyang led a team. According to Li Ba's arrangement, they went to the south and north of the city respectively. Immediately after entering the darkness, a search operation was launched.

As for the headquarters of the Harvest Trading Bank, Li Ping, another spiritual deviant under Li Ba, had already begun to take action.

Jiuding Hotel.

In the most luxurious box on the top floor, there are full of delicacies and delicacies, and beautiful waitresses wearing cheongsam, stockings, and high heels are waiting. Lin Bin and his colleagues are enjoying the sumniest dinner after the end of the world.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a crisp suit and smiling, introduced the names of each dish and the ingredients to be made.

"This crystal panlong teppanyaki, using the most tender meat of the mutated anaconda's abdomen, after marinating, it is stewed over low heat, and made of eighteen auxiliary materials, the taste is soft but not greasy, smooth and sweet!"

Ding Hui gave a detailed introduction to the distinguished guests. As the general manager of Jiuding Hotel, he received the above task today and personally came to entertain these officers. Jiuding Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Xibu City, has 70% of its property owned by the official, which is now the City Lord's Mansion. The remaining 30% is owned by Ding Hui.

Therefore, it can be said that he is the owner of the Jiuding Hotel, and he is also a public official of the City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Bin tasted it, squinted and nodded, looked at Ding Hui and asked unhurriedly: "I heard that this hotel belongs to the official property of Xibu?" ”

"Yes, yes, the official accounts for 70% of the shares, and we only have 30% of the shares."

Ding Hui replied truthfully. Seeing that Lin Bin's face showed a faint disdain, he hurriedly said: "Of course, after the handover of Staff Officer Lin, everything here belongs to the country!" ”

That's pretty much it!

Lin Bin showed a smug smile on his face, and said to his colleagues: "That Li Guangtou is really good at enjoying it, but his good days are over, and soon everything in Xibu City will be owned by the state and managed by you." ”

The five colleagues, except for Du Jiang, were all excited. The prosperity of Xibu City is not much better than that of the big cities before the end of the world. Such a good place soon became their territory, and the excitement in their hearts can be imagined.

As for ownership by the state, it's just a façade. In their hearts, they represent the country, can enjoy the rights granted by the state, take over everything here, and become the biggest vested interests.

Tasting the delicious red wine made from mutated grapes, the refreshing taste on the tip of the tongue is indescribable. Lin Bin squinted his eyes and beckoned his colleagues to eat and drink. Occasionally seeing Du Jiang, he lowered his head and kept silent, drinking inferior two-pot head alone, sneered, and said slowly: "Company Commander Du, you seem to be a little unhappy!" ”

"Nope."

Du Jiang replied. Later, perhaps realizing that his attitude was inappropriate, he explained: "Staff Officer Lin, my brothers are still outside the city, I am thinking...... Do you need to bring them some food? ”

Lin Bin glanced at Ding Hui, who was standing beside him with a smile on his face, and waved his hand: "It's none of your business here, besides, take them all down!" ”

"Yes, yes."

Ding Hui nodded again and again. Then, he left the box with a group of waiters.

"If you have any needs, just give an order!"

Before going out, Ding Hui did not forget to say hello. When he closed the door of the box, he immediately changed his face and snorted at the box: "Damn, what are these things!" ”

"Manager, do we still need to stay here?" The waiter foreman asked.

"Of course."

Ding Hui lowered his voice and said, "According to the above meaning, we must entertain these guys well." Whatever they want, they do their best to meet them...... Of course, if you need a lady, you don't need to go to the field in person, just notify the sauna department and send a few masseurs over! ”

"Okay." The foreman nodded. At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief. If they were asked to accompany the guests, it would be a bit embarrassing.

"Company Commander Du."

After Ding Hui and the waiter left the box, Lin Bin looked at Du Jiang and said slowly: "According to the order of the superiors, you are required to place the No. 1 laser-guided transmitter at the city gate. You're at least fifty meters off, what a situation, I need a satisfactory explanation! ”

"I can't say." Du Jiang replied in a rough voice. The actual reason is very simple, after reconnaissance, he found that there are many survivors coming and going at the city gate, and he doesn't want to hurt too many innocents, which is against his conscience.

"When the mission is over, I will report to the brigade commander on the performance of your reconnaissance company, hmph, in my opinion, your reconnaissance company commander is very incompetent!" Lin Bin's tone raised, his face full of displeasure.

"Whatever! Anyway, even the elders don't want to do it! Maybe it was because he drank two more glasses, and the wine was strong, and Du Jiang actually got up with Lin Bin.

"You ......" Lin Bin slapped the table. His face was full of anger.

"Staff Officer Lin, we have achieved the goal of deterrence, so don't worry too much about Company Commander Du!"

"Company Commander Du, you too, how can you talk to the tone of the superior leader...... Fortunately, in the last days, if you had changed before, you would have at least been dismissed from your post and confined! ”

Under the persuasion of others, Lin Bin dissipated his anger, but the eyes that looked at Du Jiang were still very unkind.

"This man is not ......"

He made up his mind, and after controlling the overall situation of Xibu City, he immediately reported it, removed Du Jiang from his position, and never hired.

When the box was noisy, the basement of the City Lord's Mansion and the Electronic Communications Department were brightly lit. All the personnel worked through the night, and one of the communications personnel wore headphones, held a pen and paper, and recorded quickly. What is written is exactly what Lin Bin and Du Jiang quarreled about, and the words of the two conversations were recorded word for word.

Another important responsibility of the Department of Electronic Communications is to intercept and obtain information. As an official industry, Jiuding Hotel is equipped with eavesdropping equipment in all the private rooms inside, and there is no dead end in this regard.

Li Ba arranged for people to warmly entertain Lin Bin and his gang, the purpose was very simple, to stabilize these people, and at the same time try to obtain valuable information.

The information obtained from the surveillance will soon be collected and transmitted to him through special channels.

At this moment, Li Ba was at the headquarters of the commercial bank, holding an electronic instrument similar to a remote control in his hand, and his expression was extremely solemn. (To be continued......)
