Chapter 655: The muzzle of the gun is inward
Wang Lu is not the kind of amazing and glamorous person who can govern the army and manage the people. The way he manages Yashan is to put it nicely, that is, based on his rich life experience, and to put it mildly, it is to pat his head and do things.
To tell the truth, although patting one's head to do things is widely criticized, it is actually the way most people do things, because no one is an immortal who knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and there is no special think tank to give you advice, so you can only pat your head. The method of patting the head is mostly mediocre thinking, and most of them are not creative, but fortunately, they will not make any big mistakes.
But the bad thing about Wang Lu is that he refuses to honestly pat his head to do things, and he often goes out of the way. He can't be blamed for this, if he wants to blame, he will blame Wang Lu's half-human and half-corpse characteristics. Wang Lu is a human now, but sooner or later he will become a smart corpse, so when he thinks about some long-term problems, he can't help but try to think from the perspective of a smart corpse, but the problem is that he is not a real smart corpse, Zi Fei Fish, the joy of knowing fish, Wang Lu is not a smart corpse, how can he know the real idea of thinking about the problem of the smart corpse. Wang Lu painted the tiger not into an anti-dog, people are not human, corpses are not corpses, he thinks he has a plan, in fact, it is a wrong move, fortunately, this guy has shit luck, plus Feng Haiqi and others are full of help, which maintains the smooth operation of Yashan.
But today, Wang Lu's own life and death are unknown, and the hardcore royalists such as Feng Haiqi and Zhou Chunyu are all outside, and the hidden dangers hidden under the calm surface of Yashan suddenly erupted.
The biggest concealment is that people's hearts are not aligned. Yashan's recent expansion is too fast, especially after the pie in the sky swallowed up the base, the number of new arrivals has exploded, and cats and dogs have all flocked to Yashan, these people have their own thoughts, although Yashan has a slight team, but there are too few talents in Wang Lu's bag. Even such an important position as the finance department had to be given up to buy people's hearts, the foundation was too shallow, and the integration of personnel was insufficient. It has not been resolved for a long time.
To solve this problem, the best way was to strengthen the strength of middle-level cadres, and by giving Feng Haiqi and other ministers of various departments greater powers, and to forcefully purge new and old personnel in various departments with an iron fist. In order to achieve upward and downward effects in a short period of time, the order is prohibited. But Wang Lu was suspicious, and he was reluctant or afraid to delegate the power in his hands. Worried that middle-level cadres will not be controlled by themselves after they sit on the throne -- although he also knows the truth that there is no doubt about employing people and not using suspicious people, but in these years, who does not doubt whom?
Wang Lu actually knew the hidden crisis of Yashan, but he was confident that he relied on his special ability. None of these problems are a problem. I just want to be a husband who monopolizes power, people's hearts are not aligned, it doesn't matter, there are abilities inside and bases outside. What are you afraid of, as long as you are given enough time, these people will return to their hearts sooner or later; The production efficiency is low, it doesn't matter, there are agricultural machinery and factories, and the labor of one person in industrial production is enough for 100 people, then again, in fact, there is not much work to do in the last days, but the word food and clothing, it is understandable that everyone is lazy; Yashan's force is not strong enough, in the face of the attack of zombie corpses and survivors elsewhere, he can only barely protect himself, not afraid of not afraid, zombie corpses have Xi Jiachao and Zheng Jiaxi, turning enemies into friends is a piece of cake, as for the survivors elsewhere, this kind of shadowless thing is not to mention, Yashan Base Alliance is the most powerful force in the Yonggang area, who is impatient and dares to provoke Lao Tzu.
So, Wang Lu sat on such an active volcanic crater, thinking that I have the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up and ruling the world.
Today, Wang Lu, the mud-born bodhisattva, suddenly collapsed, and the crisis in Yashan erupted in the most unexpected way.
Guan Xin didn't know that he was topping the tank for Wang Lu, but he knew that the matter was big, if he fired this shot, he could kill a few people, not to mention for the time being, he and these brothers from the armed forces department would immediately be trampled by the angry crowd, and then, the rioting crowd would rush into the town, and the entire Yinjiang Town would be destroyed without a mountain fire. But if you don't shoot and let everyone go, the runaway wildfire will destroy Yashan.
To shoot, or not to shoot?
Under the reflection of the flickering mountain fire, people's vision was a little distorted, and Guan Xin seemed to see the crowd of old and weak people huddled together silently pressing over, and everyone's faces were as hideous as ghosts. He gritted his teeth, wiped the beads of sweat rolling off his forehead with his backhand, and made up his final decision, "Ready!" He hissed, his index finger pulling the trigger and slowly pressing it down.
Suddenly, a thick and powerful hand grasped the barrel of Guan Xin's gun, and forcibly raised the muzzle of the gun to the sky: "Don't you go to fight the fire, don't you want to watch the scenery here?" ”
Guan Xin turned his head and looked, his legs were weak with joy - it was Feng Haiqi.
Not only Feng Haiqi alone, but behind him, there were more than 30 people including Zhou Chunyu and Wang Bomin, all of whom were loaded with guns.
Feng Haiqi patted Guan Xin on the shoulder, motioned for him to get out of the way, stepped forward to climb the Lying Niu Stone, and ordered loudly: "Everyone listen, the mountain fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the way of fighting has lost its effect." I ordered that the fire extinguishing operation be abandoned, and that all efforts should be made to dig a fire ditch on the ridge to prevent the fire from spreading. He didn't wait for everyone to react, and directly dispatched: "Zhou Chunyu, Wang Bomin, and the members of the armed forces, each of you will take 4 or 5 people to form a group, bring axes and saws, and start acting immediately." ”
The mountain fire is still some distance away from the ridge, as long as the tree is cut down to open a fire ditch, there is not much worry about life, and the confrontation of the old and weak has suddenly decreased, even a few people with evil intentions, peeking at the guns on the backs of the armed forces personnel brought by Feng Haiqixin, they also know that it is impossible, and put away some dirty thoughts.
At this time, Zhou Chunyu, Wang Bomin and others also squeezed into the crowd, "You, you, and a few of you, come with me and go here." Soon, more than 100 old and weak people were dispatched, bypassed the fire, and drove towards the ridge
Guan Xin watched the crowd turn into the mountains and forests again, and then he let out a long breath, released his stiff fingers from the gun machine, and said to Feng Haiqi without shame: "I'm sorry, Dad, I ...... it."
How Feng Haiqi didn't know Guan Xin's temperament, his son-in-law was half a son, he patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard for you, you did a good job." ”
Guan Xin shook his head: "Dad, you don't have to comfort me, I almost shot at the crowd just now......"
Feng Haiqi interrupted him and said, "Your mistake is that you didn't shoot at the crowd as soon as possible, if you killed a few thorns in the morning, there would not have been a stalemate like just now." ”
Guan Xin was dumbfounded, Feng Haiqi looked at the look on his son-in-law's face, and sighed: "Guan Xin, don't forget." We are the Ministry of Armed Forces, and the Ministry of Armed Forces is a violent institution in Yashan, and it is not for us to be good people when we set up this body. In addition to the outside, if necessary, the muzzle of the gun should also be inside! ”
"In any group, there are always a few restless saboteurs. They are small in number, but they can be extremely destructive in critical times, when you encounter similar emergencies. We must use the most powerful means to eliminate those few saboteurs at the first time, because without their leadership and agitation, the ordinary masses would not have been able to make trouble at all. ”
Guan Xin suddenly realized, nodded heavily, and said: "I know, next time I encounter this kind of thing, I will never be soft." He recalled: "I can clearly see the people who stirred up trouble just now, and I remember this account for them!" ”
Feng Haiqi shook his head: "Don't underestimate them. People like them are not very bold, but they have a lot of ghost ideas, and there is another one, that is, they are very desperate and always hide behind their backs to make trouble. Easily faceless. You should have shot them as soon as they jumped out, but now that you've missed the opportunity, next time they'll be more covert, and it's not so easy for you to catch them and kill them. ”
Guan Xin didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in an emergency, his father-in-law Feng Haiqi is worthy of being the director of the grassroots police station, and he has rich experience in struggle, he was sighing, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, why are you back?" Has Captain Wang found it? ”
Feng Haiqi shook his head: "We are looking in the wrong direction. As he spoke, he hurriedly said that the group had encountered a sniper, and Guan Xin immediately grasped the key to the matter: "It seems that we must extinguish the mountain fire and find the source of the fire." Hopefully, there will be some useful clues left in such a big fire. ”
Feng Haiqi said: "What is certain now is that Wang Lu and Feng Zhenzhen did not fall into the hands of the enemy, which is somewhat good news. ”
But the good news did not last long, because only an hour after the two climbed the ridge to cut down trees, the wind rose.
The wind is very small, it will not exceed level 3, and it is very comfortable to open the window to sleep on such a night, and the cool breeze blows on the body, but for the people of Yashan who are cutting fire ditches on the ridge, this wind is a demon.
The embers after the burning of the grass and trees were blown all over the hillside by the wind, and even approached the fire ditch step by step, only a small half of the trees in the fire ditch were cut down, and even these cut down trees were too late to be dragged away, the fire was forced over, everyone had to become roast pigs, and a burst of noise came, but many people shouted to hurry down the mountain to escape.
This time, even Feng Haiqi's face changed, he saw that the wind was blowing, and the line of fire had faintly surrounded the ridge, and everyone was too late to run at this time, unless they took advantage of the fact that the fire was not big, everyone buried their heads and rushed down the mountain, but the young men of the armed forces department had fast legs and feet, and they could still fight a way out, and the old and weak with slow legs and feet were dangerous, and it was estimated that even one percent of them could not go down the mountain safely.
Although Feng Haiqi taught Guan Xin just now that he should kill someone, he is not an executioner after all, if the old and weak of these more than 100 people die because of his improper command, then he has really become the biggest sinner in Yashan.
Feng Haiqi was remorseful and hateful, his face was pale, and he was about to order Zhou Chunyu, Guan Xin, and Wang Bomin to organize the old and weak to prepare for a breakthrough, when he suddenly saw that at the foot of the mountain, another group of people came.
Zhou Chunyu ran over in surprise: "Closed office, the left-behind personnel in Yinjiang Town have come to support us!" ”
Feng Haiqi still frowned: "Something is wrong, there are too many new arrivals at the foot of the mountain, not to mention 4 or 500 people, how can there be so many left-behind people in the town." ”
Zhou Chunyu also found that something was wrong with the number of people under the mountain, and he muttered: "Could it be that Sister Chen Wei called the base, and they sent someone to reinforce it?" ”
At this moment, the crowd at the foot of the mountain had already gone up the mountain one after another and began to put out the fire--Feng Haiqi, Guan Xin, and Zhou Chunyu all exclaimed in surprise--The new crowd was really bold, and they actually rushed straight into the fire!
Then, something even stranger happened, after these people rushed into the fire, they actually threw themselves on the ground, rolled on the ground, and actually used their bodies to suppress the fire.
Feng Haiqi's hands tightened: "They are not people, they are zombies!" ”
This group of firefighting troops who rushed to the rescue were indeed zombies - it was naturally Xi Jiachao who led them.
It turned out that this idea was come up with by Chen Wei in desperation, and she asked Cai Chunlei to escort Chen Qiong to Xi Jiachao, and asked Xi Jiachao to recruit the wandering zombies outside the town. Come and put out the fire.
Originally, Xi Jiachao could still find more zombies, but Zheng Jiaxi worked too hard. There are really not many zombies outside Yinjiang Town, and it took a lot of effort to find these nearly 500 zombies, or else. It will not be delayed until now to rush to the fire scene.
Before leading the zombies to the back mountain, Xi Jiachao also drove the zombies to take a bath in a small ditch next to them, and now the zombies are all wet. Under the command of Xi Jiachao, they climbed up the hill, lay down and rolled all the way down to extinguish the fire-too complicated firefighting action for these guys to do.
Not to mention, these nearly 500 zombies rushed into the fire like moths to the fire. really suppressed the momentum of the mountain fire, Feng Haiqi immediately made a decision and waved his hand: "Everyone up!" He threw down his axe, took a cut of the branch, and led the way into the fire. Fight the fire hard.
Zhou Chunyu, Guan Xin and others also shouted loudly: "Everyone, hurry up, rest assured, these zombies are our own people--oh, they are our own corpses, and they will not harm you." ”
Everyone saw that sure enough, Feng Haiqi was surrounded by zombies, but none of them attacked him, thinking that this was the strange person of Yashan who was manipulating, his confidence suddenly soared, and he shouted, and Qi Qi rushed into the fire.
Seriously, zombies are really a good hand at fighting fires, as long as they don't burn their brains, they will fight endlessly, and the people in Yashan can only fight with branches, brooms and other things, but they lie directly on the ground and crush, and because they have water on their bodies, the fire is getting smaller and smaller.
Xi Jiachao was carried on the mountain by Cai Chunlei, spinning around the hillside, commanding the zombies, Chen Qiong endured the choking soot and followed behind, ensuring that there were no undeserved thoughts in his heart.
Now in the back mountain, there are more than 600 people in the zombies and cliffs in the fire, and the early mountain fire has burned almost everything that can be burned.
When the last open fire was extinguished, the crowd cheered desperately with hoarse and chapped throats, and even those who had been shaken and told strange things were also excited, after all, in this last age, it is extremely rare for a settlement like Yashan to refuse and treat everyone equally, who would really want to leave such a comfortable nest. Not only did he save his life, but he could continue to eat and drink in Yashan, which was not the best of both worlds.
In the cheering crowd, Feng Haiqi frowned and looked at the zombies, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He never imagined that one day, he would fight side by side with zombies, and even win the victory together.
The vitality of the zombies is indeed tenacious, after extinguishing the wildfire, there are more than 300 zombies still alive, although their clothes have been burned into ashes by the fire, and the skin on their bodies has been scorched and peeled off, but they are still moving, repeatedly rolling mechanically on the ground.
At this time, Cai Chunlei carried Xi Jiachao on his back and walked over with Chen Qiong, Feng Haiqi saw at a glance that the bangs on Chen Qiong's forehead were burned, and there were red spots splashed with sparks on his face, and he was so heartbroken that he pulled it over: "You kid, why don't you know how to take care of yourself?" Does it hurt? He groped around his body, but couldn't find any medicine that could cure the scalds, and hurriedly said, "Wang Bomin, quickly, take Chen Qiong to the health center." ”
Chen Qiong's eyes were red, it was smoked, she waved her hand and said, "Uncle Feng, I'm fine, I came to you because I want to ask you, well, it's actually him who wants to find you." As she spoke, she pointed at Xi Jiachao on Cai Chunlei's back.
Feng Haiqi looked directly at Xi Jiachao, he was still the same as usual, his whole body was covered in a robe, only one head was exposed, a pair of eyes were full of blood, and he looked back at Feng Haiqi expressionlessly, for a long time, Feng Haiqi said: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Xi Jiachao said indifferently: "The fire has been extinguished, do you still need these--these zombies?" ”
Feng Haiqi shook his head: "I don't need them anymore. ”
Xi Jiachao said: "I understand. Since you don't need them, you can do with them. ”
Feng Haiqi said playfully: "Whatever I do? How to dispose of it? ”
Xi Jiachao's voice did not fluctuate at all: "You can kill them - I promise they will not resist at all, and you can also - let them go." ”
Everyone present was silent, Guan Xin turned his head to look at the zombies who were still rolling stupidly on the hillside - just now when he was fighting the fire, he was almost trapped by a burning bush, it was 7 or 8 zombies rolling around, forcing the bushes to the ground with their flesh, he took the opportunity to extinguish the fire, but there were also 3 zombies who died in the ashes of the bushes, turning into a clump of curled char.
Feng Haiqi's eyes swept over the fire, there are more than 300 zombies here, killing them is just a matter of effort, but if they are released, who knows how many living people will be killed by them in the future. I don't know why, this killing word, Feng Haiqi can't say it anyway.
At this moment, an armed soldier hurriedly ran over: "Minister Feng, Minister Feng, we found some strange things in the fire, that is where we first saw the fire, it must be related to the disappearance of Captain Wang, you go and take a look!" (To be continued.) )
