Chapter 122: The Thief
From this day on, the people in the security zone were divided into two different classes, the first was the working people who had to work every day, and the second was the combatants who were trained every day, and in addition to these few awakened people, the army recruited three hundred reservists from among the other survivors and conducted daily training of recruits for the regular army, which consisted of three things: absolute inability to command; physical exercise; Mastery of firearms.
Unexpectedly, Eric's actual combat skills are the same as his marksmanship, and they are also very powerful, and after asking, he understands that Eric's Marine Corps is not an ordinary marine, but an elite team in the Marine Corps.
Among the other members of the army, there are also many who are good at fighting, but the fighting routines of Chinese and American soldiers are different, so they simply let the participants in the training train together to train the two fighting tactics to maximize the training effect.
As for the rest of the workers, they began to concentrate on reinforcing the defense of the safety zone, and the ditch along the outer wall of the entire safety zone has been excavated, and the drainage pipe found from the power plant has been used, from the inside of the wall to the ditch outside the wall, there is one every 50 meters, so that the ditch can be quickly filled with fuel when needed, and the outer wall has also begun to be further reinforced and heightened, reaching a height of four meters, and sharpened steel bars are inserted into the concrete, so that the E2, which has a strong jumping ability, can be prevented to a certain extent.
Xie Tian also opened a greenhouse in the power plant that was previously used to store coal as a free trading market, where survivors can trade all kinds of materials, and the safe zone does not take any fees from it, as long as the two parties reach a transaction intention, they can freely complete the transaction, this time, in addition to work, the survivors have another thing to kill time, that is, to visit the market, sell their useless things, and then exchange them for what they need.
As the problem of eating is no longer worried, the demand for non-staple food, culture and entertainment has begun to increase, the dormitory area has 24-hour power supply, computers, smart phones, handheld game consoles and other things have suddenly become the most popular and sought-after materials in the market, as for those LCD TVs in containers are still unattended, and now there is really no TV program to watch.
As soon as the market opened, the thieves that Song Hui had been staring at for many days finally moved! Everyone thought that this kid's endurance was too good, and it took so many days to finally surface.
The thief was a young man under Du Yuewei who was less than twenty years old, and this kid slipped out of the dormitory alone late that night, and picked up the food he had stolen in the coal pile in the coal yard, and happened to be caught by Song Hui and others who had been keeping an eye on him.
Song Hui locked him in an empty room in the general control building all night, and the next morning he found Xie Tian and said, "Grandma, after staring at it for so many days, the little bastard who stole things was finally caught by me!" ”
Xie Tian smacked his lips and said: "This bastard can bear enough, he stole thirty kilograms of supplies, and he endured it for so many days before he surfaced." ”
Song Hui smiled: "People locked the office all night. ”
"Have you explained?" Thank God asked.
"Confessed." Song Hui said: "This kid has learned acrobatics for a few years, and his body softness and sensitivity are good, so climbing the dormitory building is very easy for him, after he stole the food, he hid it to keep it for future gluttony or when there is no job in the safe area to provide him, to relieve hunger or emergency relief, but then we began to supply everyone with enough food, this time the market is open, he wants to change to a laptop, so he wants to take out the stolen materials." ”
Xie Tian laughed and said, "I didn't expect that what led him out in the end turned out to be a laptop, which is really full of warm thoughts."
"What does this have to do with Silver Desire," Song Hui said embarrassedly.
"Watch the film, as long as it's a man's computer, who doesn't have any inventory."
Song Hui smiled a little helplessly and asked, "Then this person, what should we do?" ”
Xie Tian said lightly: "Stealing something, although it will not be shot, but this kind of black sheep must still be punished to a certain extent, otherwise it is not enough to make the people angry, and even dare to steal the widow's pension, I really have no conscience." ”
Song Hui was a little embarrassed and said, "How can we punish him now?" Let him be in prison? You've got to give him food, right? That's cheaper for him, and he can get food without having to work. ”
Xie Tian patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is easy to do, take it to the canteen at noon, depending on everyone's meaning, it can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys, and then you will make a specific decision, Lao Song, you are now the person in charge of the security of the entire security zone, and you should make your own decisions about this kind of thing." ”
"Done." Song Hui nodded and said, "I'll bring him over at noon." ”
For this theft, more than 1,000 new people did not know, Song Hui took the young man to the canteen at noon, and after a few more words, he repeated the specific situation, and then he asked: "Now that the thief has been arrested, I want to ask for everyone's opinion, how to deal with it?" ”
"Shoot!" There was a roar from the crowd: "Even the widow's pension is concerned, what is the use of such a person not being shot?" The black sheep (of the family)! ”
As soon as these words came out, many people agreed, Song Hui and the wilted boy in front of him cried out in fright when he saw this posture, and kept kowtowing on the ground, saying: "I'm just confused for a while, really confused for a while, otherwise, I wouldn't steal other people's things, I'm just hungry and scared, I saw so many materials, and I made a mistake in my heart, beg everyone to give me a chance to be a new person, I will definitely correct it!" ”
"Shoot!" The crowd didn't seem to buy it, and there were endless calls for people to be shot, but in fact, the people calling for the shooting were just young men, who had loud voices and loved to join in the fun.
The widow who had been stolen stood up and said in a loud voice, "Spare him this time, he is still a child." ”
Because the shouting next to him was too loud, Song Hui didn't hear what the widow said clearly, and then, he motioned for everyone to be quiet first, and the widow repeated what she had just said.
This time, he won the approval of many women, and they said that they could spare him this time, as long as he made sure that he would not do it again next time.
Du Yuewei stood up and said coldly: "First of all, I apologize to everyone, this black sheep was brought into the safe zone by me, please forgive me." Du Yuewei said, and said: "As for how to deal with him, let me be fair, since he has done something detrimental to the interests of the security zone, it will be difficult to convince the public to continue to keep him here, so simply drive him out of the security zone." ”
Du Yuewei's words really won the approval of most people, stealing things, killing is too harsh, these people will also think about themselves, if they steal things and want to be shot, then if they make any mistakes in the future, won't it end up very bad? But sparing him is not very resentful, and driving him out is a relatively best result.
Song Hui then spoke: "That's it, I can't hear everyone shouting, if you support the shooting, please raise your hand." ”
There weren't many people who raised their hands, but they were indeed young men with loud voices, lively looks, and smiling faces, and then, Song Hui asked, "Who supports and forgives him?" ”
This time, there were only twenty or thirty women who raised their hands, and as soon as Du Yuewei's words came out just now, many people had already turned against each other.
"What about those who support eviction out of the safe zone?"
Suddenly, the vast majority of people raised their hands.
Song Hui nodded and said to the thief, "Since this is what everyone means, then you should be ready, take your own things, and leave the safe zone immediately." ”
When the young man heard this, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle and aunt, big brother and sister, you can do it, there are so many zombies outside now, if you really drive me out, then I will have no way to live!" As he spoke, he began to slap himself vigorously, and while pumping, he said, "Call you cheap, call you cheap!" ”
Song Hui stopped him, this time, Song Hui didn't seem to be the person who was once kind-hearted, and said coldly: "Since this is everyone's intention, it's useless for you to ask for more, I'll accompany you to the dormitory now, and after packing up your things, I'll send you out of the safe zone!" ”
The young man's face was as dead as ashes, and he suddenly stood up and said, "I don't have anything in my dormitory, I have five catties of rice tickets in my pocket, and I want to exchange them for rice." ”
Xie Yufei stood up and said, "Give me your rice ticket, and I'll go and redeem it for you now." ”
The young man took out the five-kilogram rice ticket from his pocket, handed it to Xie Yufei, and said, "I have a car, the tail number 555 Touareg." ”
"Here you go." Song Hui opened his mouth and said, "You can take everything that belongs to you." ”
"Okay." The young man said to Du Yuewei: "The gasoline in my car was used by you to make a gasoline bomb for me, you have to return it to me." ”
Du Yuewei said angrily: "Making gasoline bombs is for the safety of the safety zone, you have been in the safety zone for so many days, don't you have the obligation to contribute to the safety of the safety zone?" ”
Immediately, Du Yuewei snorted and said, "Okay, I'll pay you a tank of oil!" Don't owe each other, lest you become a ghost and come to me to collect debts!" ”
Soon, Xie Yufei came back with a small bag of rice, handed it to the young man, and said, "Five catties, no worse at all." ”
Song Hui pushed him from behind and said, "Let's go, fill up the oil for you, drive your car, and leave with your rice." ”
After Song Hui and the other joint defense personnel left the cafeteria with the young man, Chen Jing walked to Xie Tian's side and said with a hesitant expression: "Xie Tian, I have something I want to tell you alone." ”
Zhao Ziye glanced at Chen Jing, but there was something wrong in her heart, she once asked Xie Tian how she met Chen Jing, Xie Tian didn't hide anything, she told the truth very casually, and learned that Chen Jing was Xie Tian's former girlfriend, and the two had lived together outside the school for more than a year, at this moment Chen Jing came to Xie Tian again, and wanted to talk to him alone, Zhao Ziye felt a little jealous in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
Xie Tian didn't know what Chen Jing was looking for him, so he nodded, and walked out of the cafeteria with Chen Jing, as soon as he got out of the cafeteria, Chen Jing pulled Xie Tian to a corner where no one was, his expression was still very entangled, he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
"What's wrong?" Xie Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Just now" Chen Jing hesitated for a long time, but still gritted her teeth and said: "When the young man who stole things was taken out by Brother Song just now, I really wanted to feel that something was wrong. ”
"What's wrong?" Xie Tian asked suspiciously.
"I really want to feel a strong resentment in him." Chen Jing looked at Xie Tian and said seriously.
Xie Tian smiled and said, "Being kicked out of the safe zone, it is natural to be a little resentful, understandable. ”
"It's not just that." Chen Jing said again: "I was vague, and I really wanted to grasp a detail from his resentment, but this is so ridiculous that I can't believe it is true." ”
"What details?" Xie Tian frowned and asked.
Chen Jing began to hesitate again, which made Xie Tian a little helpless, and said: "You can say anything, even if it is ridiculous, it doesn't matter, you see the last days we are in now, is there anything more ridiculous than this?" ”
Chen Jing nodded, and said eloquently: "Just now, when he passed by me, in addition to feeling that he had a strong resentment, I seemed to hear the voice in his head, which said: When Lao Tzu arrives at the safe area of Nanchang and tells you all about the situation here, I will definitely bring people back to kill again!" ”
"What?" Xie Tian was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!" Chen Jing spoke: "Although I can't be sure if this is what he really thinks in his mind, I'm sure I really heard it. ”
"." Xie Tian hurriedly went to find Lao Song, Chen Jing was struggling for half a day, I am afraid that the time has been delayed, neither he nor Song Hui carried a walkie-talkie, and now there is really a leak.
Under the supervision of Song Hui and other joint defense personnel, the young man drove his Touareg SUV and walked out of the gate of the safety zone. ”
"It's been driven away." Song Hui said.
Xie Tian, who was in a hurry, grabbed the walkie-talkie from Liu Mu's waist and blurted out, "What about Eric?" ”
"He is on duty on the roof of the building, and today is his post." A voice came over the intercom.
A moment later, Eric's voice came over the intercom, and he blurted out, "Was someone looking for me just now?" ”
Xie Tian hurriedly said in English, "Eric, where's your Barrett?" ”
"By my side, what's wrong?"
"Show me, which direction did the Touareg go from town?"
Eric was right at the top of the General Control Building, where he had been on duty, and immediately looked over and said, "Go northeast." ”
"Kill him!" That road is the road to Changbei, Xie Tian said without hesitation.
"Good!" Eric didn't know what the situation was, but his real name made him lie down without thinking, quickly adjust the anti-materiel sniper rifle, and lock on to the Touareg that was fading away.
Knowing that his gun was at a distance of two thousand meters, the accuracy of his shooting would be greatly reduced, Eric did not dare to delay, aimed as fast as he could and made a good prediction, just over ten seconds, Xie Tian heard a gunshot from the main control building.
It took more than ten seconds for the sound of the car explosion to reach Xie Tian's ears, and Xie Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost made a big mistake.
