Alley.

After the sandbag fortifications, two soldiers watched warily at the street ahead of them, which was shrouded in lights. The sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Wanfu Street made them realize that something was wrong.

And Wu Qiming and the other four policemen turned pale, hiding behind and shivering. Especially Wu Qiming, a middle-aged man in his fifties who didn't want to fight with zombies at all.

"Damn, I knew that I would have asked the Fan Bureau to intercede and transfer away from the front line."

Wu Qiming clenched the police gun tightly and retreated in his heart. has been in the police world for more than 30 years, and he can be regarded as an old oilman. On the third day after the outbreak of the virus, he was keenly aware of this as an opportunity.

So, he took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the front. He knew the Tao too well. The main arterial roads are definitely guarded by regular troops, and it is not the turn of petty policemen like themselves. What is left for you is inevitably some remote, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack alleys.

Sure enough, his actions were deeply appreciated by his superiors, and he was also transferred to this alley as he wished, assisting two soldiers in garrisoning the defensive line.

As soon as he was transferred here, he immediately deliberately befriended the two soldiers, and finally succeeded in gaining the trust of the two, turning a blind eye to his actions.

In the following days, he used the fruits of his painstaking work here to secretly ignore orders issued by the higher authorities and open the door to some brave survivors into the city in search of various supplies. And then he made personal gains from it and lived a more luxurious life than others.

Cigarettes, fine wine, and food that has not expired, and even a few watches, jewelry, etc.

He's going to get through it. In just a few days, he has changed from an ordinary small policeman to a local snake whose living standard far exceeds that of 99% of the survivors.

I didn't expect that after only a few days of good life, I was unlucky. God knows if the zombie hordes on Wanfu Street will come here. Although this alley is narrow, it definitely can't withstand the impact of the zombie horde.

What if the zombie horde does come......

Wu Qiming didn't dare to think about it anymore. He made up his mind, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately tightened up.

What does the life or death of others have to do with me?

At this moment, a man suddenly stepped into the light. Wu Qiming's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart fluttered. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and slowly moved back without a trace.

"Stop."

One soldier picked up his assault rifle and aimed it at the man who was walking slowly towards him: "Otherwise, I'll shoot." ”

"I'm a survivor."

Lu Li obediently stopped. He raised his hands to indicate that he was a living person, not a zombie. When Wu Qiming heard this, his heart finally returned to its original place. He looked at it and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"It's him."

He recognized Lu Li. The day before yesterday, he had seen Lu Li, and it was from this alley that he entered the city. What's more, he just saw Lu Li's photo from Liu Mazi yesterday and got Liu Mazi's promise.

"That's the man. As long as you tell me his news, we will share your harvest in two. ”

The promise Liu Mazi made yesterday echoed in his mind, and his mind began to liven up. Liu Mazi is the most powerful of the survivors. There are many people, and the daily harvest is a huge amount.

Although it is only 20%, it is at least comparable to the harvest of squatting here and deducting the survivors for several months.

"With these, maybe I can become the deputy director."

Wu Qiming's mood was very agitated. He couldn't wait. At present, there is only one director left in the city bureau to lead the surviving police force. Although there are not many surviving police officers, they are also a force to be reckoned with. The benefits of being a deputy director are self-evident, at least much better than pinning your head to your belt at all times.

By this time, one of the soldiers had already completed the inspection of Lu Li. Sure that there were no wounds on Lu Li's body, he turned his head and glanced at him, signaling that he could be released. Only then did the other soldier put down his assault rifle.

"Thank you."

Lu Li thanked him and walked forward. Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, Wu Qiming stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him: "Wait." ”

He walked up to Lu Li, patted his head with a sudden realization, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you." Well, I remember you, who entered the city from me the day before yesterday, right? ”

"Hmm."

Lu Li nodded and didn't say anything more. Wu Qiming's face turned, and he said sternly: "I'm sorry, I can't let you pass." ”

The other three policemen lined up in a line and blocked in front of Lu Li. Wu Qiming raised his hand and made a gesture of please, and ordered: "There is an order from above, you can't put in people who have come back from the city at will." Once the virus breaks out inside, it's a disaster. So I have to wronged you. ”

After that, he didn't care whether Lu Li agreed or not, he turned back to the three colleagues and ordered, "Don't let him leave your sight before dawn." Wait until someone from above is sent down to inspect the pass before it can be released. ”

"Understood."

The three of them nodded happily and agreed to the errand. The two soldiers looked at each other, and finally let Wu Qiming give orders. After all, they have not received any gifts from Wu Qiming in the past few days.

Wu Qiming laughed, and while taking out the cigarette case, he said with a smile: "I'm addicted to smoking." You watch him for me. I'll go over there and smoke a cigarette to refresh myself. ”

With that, he lit a cigarette, took a comfortable puff, and walked slowly to the back. When he reached the shadows, he put the burning cigarette butt on a wooden box by the side of the road and hurried away.

Liu Mazi's lair is not far from this alley. First, it is convenient to get in and out of the city. Second, it can be easily carried when the harvest is very large, so as not to attract the attention of others.

Turning two alleys, Wu Qiming came to an electrical appliance firm with candlelight. As soon as he approached, two thugs carrying steel pipes came out of the darkness and blocked him. One of them lifted the steel pipe and pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Grass, don't want to live anymore? Do you know what this place is? ”

"I'm Wu Qiming."

Wu Qiming angrily opened the steel pipe and said his intention straight to the point. When the two thugs heard this, they immediately changed their faces.

"Yo, it turned out to be Officer Wu. Sorry, sorry, it was too dark to see it was you. ”

"Where's your boss? I'm looking for him. ”

"I'm drinking inside. I'll lead the way. ”

"I'll just go over it myself."

Wu Qiming nodded and walked towards the electrical appliance firm. He walked to the front of the trading house, and before he entered the door, he heard Liu Mazi's laughter inside. He frowned, pushed the door open, and walked in.

At this time, Liu Mazi was drinking to the head of Xing. He was shirtless, with bandages on his right shoulder and left leg. The injury did not dampen his interest at all. When he heard someone coming in, his face sank and he looked over unkindly. When he saw that it was Wu Qiming walking in, his face turned better and he waved excitedly.

"Sit down, Officer Wu, let's have a drink."

"I don't have time to drink with you right now."

Wu Qiming stepped forward and sat opposite Liu Mazi. As soon as he sat down, he suddenly noticed that there was a person lying on the ground next to him. He looked by the candlelight, and happened to see the astonishment and shock in the man's eyes. He was suddenly angry and got up.

"Liu Mazi, what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing, come, sit."

Liu Mazi laughed, squinted at the man who was tied up like a dumpling on the side, and explained indifferently: "This kid doesn't know how to lift, and he is shameless." I will take him and teach him how to behave in this age. ”

"He now knows that I have a relationship with you. Once the word goes out, do you still want to enter the city so easily? ”

Wu Qiming sat down angrily. Liu Mazi smiled indifferently, personally poured him a glass of wine, and pushed it in front of him.

"What does it matter? Will the dead still poke out our relationship? ”

Wu Qiming's face sank like water, picked up the cup and drank it all. He slammed the cup on the table, and lowered his voice to warn Liu Mazi: "Make a neat point, don't leave traces." I have to track it down, and I can push it to those things in the city. Once the basket is poked out, I don't care, at most I will be punished and transferred to the front line. But you...... I don't say you should know too. The above requires social stability. ”

"Understood, understood."

Liu Mazi agreed. He poured another glass of wine for Wu Qiming, then picked up the wine glass, stared at Wu Qiming's eyes with blazing eyes and smiled: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"I've found someone you want me to keep an eye on."

Wu Qiming drank all the wine in one gulp, put down the cup and looked at Liu Mazi. As soon as he heard this, Liu Mazi's eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent. His face was gloomy, and he asked through gritted teeth.

"Where is he?"

"I'm on the line of defense."

"Okay, Lao Tzu accepts your affection."

Liu Mazi hugged his fist at Wu Qiming and stood up angrily. He yelled at the door, "Get ready for Lao Tzu." ”

Outside the door, there was a sound of the cord. The sound of footsteps was endless, occasionally mixed with some steel pipes, and the crisp sound of machetes colliding.

"Wait."

Wu Qiming hurriedly stopped. Before Liu Mazi got angry, he persuaded with kind words: "Don't mess around." It doesn't matter if you kill in front of me. But in front of those two soldiers, it is a big problem. If you are poked out by them, you will not be spared. ”

"I can't swallow this breath."

Liu Mazi stared at a pair of red eyes, with a ruthless face: "Lao Tzu has never beaten anyone, and he has never been beaten." If you don't kill that kid, Lao Tzu will not be a man. ”

"You have to think about the consequences."

Wu Qiming was a little angry. He didn't want to lose Liu Mazi, but he didn't want to lose his current position. If Liu Mazi does not listen to persuasion, he also plans to give up Liu Mazi and find a new replacement.

Liu Mazi sat down angrily. Seeing this, Wu Qiming also had the intention to ease the atmosphere between the two sides. He poured Liu Mazi a glass of wine with a smile and pushed it in front of the latter.

"I've arranged it. Wait until dawn to let him in. You lead someone to find a place to ambush. As soon as he arrived, they surrounded him. There are so many of you, and you can't kill a little white face? ”

"He's got a gun."

Liu Mazi drank it all and slammed the cup on the table. Wu Qiming was taken aback. If there really is a gun, then it is troublesome.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the movement was too loud, not to mention, it might attract the attention of the above. After all, firearms are controlled items. When the East Window incident happens, I'm afraid my life will not be guaranteed.

His face was cloudy, and he began to regret wading through the troubled waters. Liu Mazi couldn't help but smile when he saw the look of retreat in his eyes.

"I understand your difficulties. I don't ask for much either. All you need to do is seize his gun and drive him back to the city. I'll take care of the rest. You don't have to worry about it. ”

Wu Qiming was stunned. Only then did he realize that Liu Mazi was acting before, and the ultimate goal was just to drive Lu Li back to the city by himself. In the final analysis, Liu Mazi didn't want to make too much of a fuss. It's not good for both sides.

"This Liu Mazi is a character."

Wu Qiming sighed secretly in his heart, and then nodded happily.

"Okay, that's fine."
