804 No Surprises, No Dangers
The first day's trip was not far, arriving at Langfang West at noon, after eating along the highway to the southwest, bypassing Daxing Airport, and stopping at the overpass south of Gu'an County before dark.
This is a campsite chosen by the soldiers of the team, the terrain is more suitable, and it is surrounded by farmland except for the overpass which is a commanding height. Oh no, it's all wasteland now, overgrown with unknown grass and full of unknown flowers.
"That's it, in groups of three, in groups of three for three hours each. When on duty, you are not allowed to sleep, you are not allowed to gather in groups, and you are not allowed to leave your post. When you smoke, cover the light, and don't go over to check if you find the situation. Now go chop wood, as much as you want, at least enough for one shift! ”
Before the vehicles were arranged, Wang Gang came over with a soldier and several coachmen, and together with Hong Tao, the Ping An Transportation Company had to send a total of 9 people to assist in the vigil.
The soldiers took the nine men to the side of the highway 200 meters away from the convoy camp, and randomly found three positions more than ten meters apart, which was the place to be on duty tonight. He didn't do the rest of the work, so he left it all to the homeless driver, leaving the highway to look for firewood nearby.
"Third child, you take someone with me, and the others go back to eat and sleep first."
Hong Tao didn't listen to the soldiers' blind commands, the eyes of the unfamiliar people in this place were blackened, and 9 people were released to look for them blindly, not to mention encountering wild beasts, in case they accidentally fell into the ditch and injured themselves.
It doesn't take too many people to find firewood, and it's not a bonfire, so it's enough for a little flame to shine a shadow in the neighborhood. And you can't find branches that are too dry and too thin, so they will burn vigorously, but they will not resist burning. Look for coarser wood, whether it's dry or wet, and throw it in the fire for a while.
"Brother Zhou, what kind of treasure are you?"
The third child is the bearded man with a meaty face that Hong Tao met in the courtyard of Feng Zhen's house, he was originally the third-in-command of the Limin team, and he has always stayed by Tong Limin's side. Seeing Hong Tao take out a monocular from his arms as he walked, he was a little curious when he leaned over his eyes and looked around from time to time.
"Confidential...... There's a tree over there! Follow my footsteps, don't run around! ”
No one has said anything about the thermal imaging sight Hong Tao, and they don't even know about Populus euphratica, they only know that this hero has a kind of night vision device or something. Hong Tao, who was still not satisfied with the third child's curiosity, pointed to the southeast direction, and took the lead in walking over.
"Oh, I see, it's night vision! I've seen it in the market, and it's quite expensive and it costs a lot of batteries. Brother Zhou, can I borrow something from you? The third child didn't give up, and kept chattering behind Hong Tao.
"This is not a ...... loan"
"Hehe, it's not this, I'd like to borrow a grenade from you...... Before leaving, the uncle said that Sun Changzhong's convoy was also together, so I should pay more attention to protect Gangzi. I'm thinking about the many guys around me, and it can come in handy at a critical moment. Don't worry, if you don't need it, I'll give it back to you when I come back! ”
“…… Oops hey! Hong Tao stopped suddenly, so that the third child who was too close didn't brake, and his whole face hit his back, making a big sour nose.
"Two, hide it and don't let the soldiers see it. If you miss the trap and are asked, don't push it on me, can you solve it yourself? "But it wasn't in vain, two round grenades appeared in front of me, but they couldn't be taken in vain, there had to be conditions.
"Yes, I, Shen Wansan, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but there is only one thing that I don't do and betray my friends. Don't worry, even if you pull it, don't even think about knowing who gave it from my mouth. The third child grabbed the grenade without thinking about it, and swore while holding it in his arms.
"Is this your real name?"
The reason why Hong Tao sent the grenade out so quickly was not that he felt that the third child was reliable at a glance, and he hadn't met a few times in total, where did he have such profound eyesight. It's completely based on Tong Limin's introduction, since the old slippery head said that this guy is reliable, it should be basically reliable.
"Hey, hey, I made it myself...... I watched a TV series before, and there was a monopoly man named Shen Wansan in it. Back then, I had a small team of contractors, and I always wanted to make a fortune all day long, and when I got rich, like Shen Wansan, I went to a warm place in the south to build a big yard, and took my parents over when it was cold, alas......"
The third child is a very outgoing person, he likes to talk and make trouble, and when he talks about his name, he has a lot of origins. But as he spoke, it turned into a long sigh, and it was estimated that he was touched by the soft flesh in his heart.
"Shen Wansan is unlucky, and in the end it is not a good death......" Hong Tao did not go to comfort, there is a past that is not a little tragic in these years, and things that are too common do not show grief, and comfort is also white comfort, and it has no practical effect.
“…… Hey, what's auspicious and unlucky, I used to go to the temple to burn incense during the New Year's holidays, but it turned out to be a fart. It's a day to live a day, it's useless to think about the long term. Let's just say that last time I led someone to block the road, if you throw it on my head, the person is not long gone, it is better to be Shen Wansan! ”
He didn't care about this kind reminder, he didn't know what happened to Shen Wansan, he just didn't care. With the outbreak of zombie disease, after seeing too many human tragedies, people's three views will undergo earth-shaking changes, and many things that were originally concerned about will suddenly become dispensable.
"That's right...... Come, give me the axe, that's it! As he spoke, he had already walked to a small tree, and Hong Tao wanted to cut it down when he was round with an axe. It didn't take much effort for the three of them to put the little tree down, tie it with ropes, and drag it back together.
The first day slipped slowly through a few campfires and the howling of wild dogs in the wilderness, and the next few days were more or less the same rhythm, leaving at dawn and camping after dark, and the three convoys gathered together according to their own habits, neither harassing nor communicating with each other.
The soldiers who led the team did not have much to do, but deliberately or unintentionally set up the camp in the middle of the three convoys, and tried to let the drivers of the same convoy be together when arranging work. Obviously, they've heard a little bit about the dirty things that go into the shipping companies.
The most restless is Zhang Ke, this little fat man may be in estrus, and he has no leisure for a moment, and he drills around the team all day to chat with the coachman. At night, he also led the guards to patrol the post from time to time, and greeted the soldiers and coachmen on night duty.
Hong Tao was annoyed by this guy, but he had no choice but to try to hide. I really can't avoid it, so I have a urine and escape, anyway, I resolutely don't take care of the face. Fortunately, he is just an ordinary coachman, and he has no sense of existence, and he has never aroused the suspicion of others.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, the convoy arrived at the airport north of SJZ. It has become an alliance air base, where warehouses of supplies are built. Every once in a while, the coalition government would bring supplies over by rail, some of them would be stored, and some of them would continue south to the next station.
The more than 80 carriages were not loaded except for the essence of feeding the horses, so one station at a time along the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway to the south, after 14 days is not hard but a bit of a boring trek, finally arrived at the end of the trip, Xinyang Minggang Airport.
Xinyang, on the map should be south of the Huai River. Doesn't it mean that the area north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River belongs to the buffer zone, and it is not possible to send troops to settle in and build permanent bases? Originally, Hong Tao also pondered like this, thinking that the East Asian Alliance and the Southeast Alliance had already torn their faces and ignored it.
However, when I arrived at the place, I found that XY City and Xinyang Minggang Airport, one south of the Huai River and the other north of the Huai River, the East Asian Alliance only occupied the airport on the north bank of the river, and did not settle in the XY urban area on the south bank of the river.
"Pap, papa......" Just a few kilometers away from Minggang Airport, there was a sudden sound of gunfire in front, at first it was just one or two, but it soon became dense.
"Find cover...... Leave the carriage and horses, hold on to the brakes and quickly find cover......" Hong Tao didn't even bother to take the binoculars, so he turned over and jumped out of the carriage, and didn't forget to kick the stupid pig when he was about to leave.
At the same time, he shouted loudly to the coachmen to hide quickly, but fortunately he did not forget to disguise his voice, and the voice shouted out had an obvious northwest accent, and he did not dare to be too loud, for fear of revealing the original broken duck voice.
