Chapter 600: Meeting

I was driving in the vast snowfield against the wind, and the scenery along the way did not change much, and after entering the border of the Zobar land, I was met by a sentry.

I didn't know much of Zuobar's people, and I couldn't tell if the guards had changed, so I reported Shangguanli's name, saying that I was his friend and came from Safe Harbor City.

The guard Xianben was still looking at me, and when he heard the word "safe harbor", his eyes suddenly moved upward, staring at my face for two seconds.

Another guard stepped forward and said that he wanted to take some blood, and I was not afraid to collect blood, as long as I didn't use an instrument, so he reached out and asked him to make a small cut on his fingertips.

A little crimson stained their fingertips, and the two guards looked at each other and nodded.

I noticed that they had one thing in common with the guards of Safe Harbour was that their eyes stayed on my clothes for a little longer.

I was dressed very cleanly, from top to bottom from the counters of large shopping malls, and I didn't look sick.

Although it is not an era of looking at faces, the guards of various camps, and even the robbers, pay attention to their clothes when looking at people.

Others, such as personal hygiene and physical health, are also the basis for determining whether a person is worthwhile.

At first, I thought they were sensitive to the name Safe Harbor because Safe Harbor City was so famous, and the guards were trying to get some advantage from me.

But after the blood was taken, their relaxed expressions made me realize that things were not what I thought they were, and that the name "Safe Harbor" should make them nervous.

As if to confirm that I was safe and harmless, their expressions softened, but still a little wary.

"Wait a minute, I'll give you a brief." The guard spoke politely, and reported to his superiors through the walkie-talkie, and the Shangguan was almost a second away from there, so that they could let me go quickly, and the guards let me into the city after getting permission.

I drove all the way into the center of the camp of Zobar, and the scenery of the steppe remained the same, but the change in Zobar was very noticeable.

I drove through what was once the busiest street, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

Only Shangguan Li was standing alone at the gate of the camp management center, with a smile on his face, very happy to see me.

I brought all the canned food, pickles, water, and some small equipment that I could use from Gaishi out of the car, and I couldn't come empty-handed.

Shangguan Li helped me move things into the building of the management center, and piled them in the corner of the foyer, there was no one in the building, although it was not prosperous in the past, but at least it was lively, but now it is deserted.

"It's so cold, they only come and work for two to three hours a day before they can go home." Shangguan Li explained.

"And then." I threw the oranges exchanged for points to Shangguan Li and followed him upstairs.

Shangguan Li's changes were as big as this camp, he was dark, thin, and his temperament became more and more like that of a working person, and the wind of the grassland grinded a few thin crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

He must have been worried about the affairs of the camp, but fortunately, his spirit was not bad, and there was a little more perseverance in his eyes that he didn't have before.

He wore a thick sheepskin jacket with a thick belt around his waist, and his boots were stained with dried mud around him, and he looked like a local herdsman.

I think he has integrated into this land, but his life is probably not satisfactory, although he is in good spirits, but the dark halo under his eyes is too prominent, and it is estimated that he has not slept well for a long time.

As a leader, he looks like this, which shows that the overall situation of Zobal is not very optimistic.

Shangguan Li was still enthusiastic about me, we hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when I followed him upstairs, I sucked some blood from him to make sure that he was still human and had not been replaced by shapeshifters.

He invited me to his office, and as soon as I entered the room, I was attracted by the variety of dried vegetables hanging on the wall, the large desk was full of clutter, and there were no sofas or coffee tables on the wall, but piles of pots and pans.

"Sometimes I live here." Shangguan Li noticed my gaze and explained again.

He said something about what happened after I left, and I asked him if the new capital and the security zone were still cooperating?

Shangguan Li shook his head and said that the people in the safe zone had withdrawn from here, because the winter was too long and the conditions in the grassland were getting worse and worse, so the people in the safe zone had left.

I immediately asked, "Why don't you go?" You can see how bad the conditions are at a glance, and what is the reason for your insistence? ”

Shangguan Li closed the door of his office tightly, and he also nailed a thick curtain to the door frame, and sealed the inside of the window with plastic sheeting, at least the cold wind could not blow in.

Shangguan Li was in no hurry to answer my question, it seemed that it was a long story, and he planned to tell me slowly.

But before answering my question, he asked me a question, "Are you okay?" ”

The temperature in the office was slightly warmer than outside, and there was a chimney in the room, and an earthen stove stood in the center of the room, and the door was closed, so that there was no light in sight.

"It's good, your conditions are already so difficult?" I deliberately walked to the stove, stretched out my hand and put it on the top of the stove to try, the heat emitted by the stove can only be considered warm, this heat is afraid that only sleeping next to the stove at night will not freeze to death.

Shangguan Li moved two small benches and put them by the fireside, and he sat on the small bench with two long legs bent, and the former son-in-law style no longer existed.

"I didn't go to Safe Harbor because I suspect that it has already mixed in with the shapeshifters, and it has a high status, and I don't know how many of its kind there are, and it may have been caught in the net." Shangguan Li picked up the kettle on the stove and poured me a glass of warm water.

"There are no shapeshifters in Zhobar?"

"No, I check every day, and there aren't many people left anyway, most of them are gone."

It occurred to me that the two guards had collected my blood, and it turned out that they had used this method to distinguish shapeshifters.

In this way, the nervousness of the guards when they hear the word safe harbor is because they also know that there are shapeshifters in the safe harbor.

I was puzzled, so I asked again, "Then why don't you leave here?" ”

"If you want to go, you have to take it all with you, our fuel is only enough for the convoy to drive to Qi City, where there are no resources, and the situation is not more optimistic than this."

In winter, we rely on fuel to walk, and we know how dangerous it is to move on foot on two legs.

I didn't expect Zobar to be so short of fuel that it would be difficult to even move an inch.

"The camps in the three northern provinces have all been taken over by Safe Harbor, Xindu is engaged in a civil war again, and the temperature is even lower on the Soviet side, it's not that we don't want to move, it's that the conditions don't allow it."

Shangguan Li sighed helplessly, "How are you?" Heard you're a player of the corpse removal game? ”

"Ah, you've heard all about this?!"

"There was a game in Bell City the other day, and I went over to watch it and heard people talk about you."

"Yes, I'm so red?"

"The girl named Lei Feng is domineering as soon as she appears, who else is there besides you?"

I laughed, is this what people say when they pretend to be X, sister is not in the rivers and lakes, but there has always been a legend of sister in the rivers and lakes?

"What about you, how did you remember that my old friend was here?" Shangguan Li smiled lightly.

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you refused to be co-opted by Safe Harbor City?" I asked, smiling.

"No, the camps that rejected them all died overnight, and I dragged it out without giving an answer, but I just received an ultimatum a few days ago."

"That's what I'm here to tell you."

Shangguan Li asked with some surprise, "They asked you to be a lobbyist?" ”

I shook my head: "It's not them, it's Tumu." ”

Shangguan Li's expression was even more surprised at this time, and I didn't wait for him to ask, and told me about Tumu's fraudulent death, as well as the anti-plot plan.

After speaking, I quietly waited for Shangguan Li to digest this information, opened the lid of the furnace and glanced inside, and saw a black lump of smoke, I don't know what it is.

Shangguan was silent for a long time, his expression changed a few times, he naturally had more worries than me, after all, he was taking thousands of people on an adventure, and the pressure was great.

"Tum wants to take back control of the safe zone?" Shangguan Li suddenly asked.

"Maybe it's not all, he also planted undercover agents in several other areas, and the shapeshifters replaced the leaders of the major battalions, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

Shangguan Li lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "This is equivalent to the transformation monster has already eliminated the competitor for him." ”

I laughed, "That's right, so he just needs to find someone to get rid of the shapeshifters, so he's the only surviving leader of the major camps, so naturally he's a good answer." ”

"Oh, that's a good calculation." Shangguan Li sneered, then his expression changed, and he said sincerely: "Thank you Sang Rou, you trust me, and I trust you, if the shapeshifter becomes angry and uses a gas bomb on this, the big guy will really have no way to live, it is better to fight." ”

"The matter of the transformation monster must be solved as soon as possible, but Tumu also has to guard against it, after merging into the safe harbor, the most dangerous person is actually you."

Because most of the former leaders of the camps were trusted by the survivors, if Tumu did not get rid of them, the regime he had established would be in danger.

Tumu's anti-intermediary plan is to use undercover agents like me to break into the interior of small and medium-sized camps, and after being incorporated into the five major districts, he will find an opportunity to infiltrate the high-level camps.

Strive to live among the shapeshifters, do things for them, and earn their trust.

Mark them all, and when the time comes, annihilate them all in a fast, accurate, and ruthless way.

Of course, it would be great if they could find their weaknesses in the lurking process.

As for what Tumu mentioned, whether he can find a chance to make them coax, I think the probability is very small.

Once in the five districts, the undercover agent has to improvise and wait for Tumu's notification.

"I'll be careful, it's just that I didn't figure it out." Shangguan Li thought with a frown.

"What?"

"Tumu found you, and you quickly agreed to cooperate with him, how can he guarantee that you won't turn back after entering the Five Regions?"

This is indeed a problem, but it is not difficult to explain, "He must have done some research when he approached me, and I am at odds with the shapeshifters, maybe the people he is looking for are the same as me, even if they turn against Tumu, they will never side with the shapeshifters." ”

Shangguan Li didn't refute me on this point, but he immediately asked another question: "You can't kill more than the transformation monsters of the five major regions with just a few people, did he tell you the way to annihilate them?" ”

I shook my head decisively: "No, he said to tell me when he announced the action." ”
