Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Mission
As for Rongcheng Institute of Technology, Zhong Bo and they have been locked up for seven days, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they didn't let him participate in the management work as Zhou Guan said.
The madman's mind is always elusive, and he doesn't understand what he wants to do, which makes Zhong Bo very irritable.
The parents are still safe at home, and they have been rescued with other neighbors and are currently in an official shelter. But in their tone of voice on the call, you can hear that they are not doing very well.
The rain was pouring outside, diluting the strange smell of smoke and fire in the air, which was the scorched residue in the air when Zhou Guan led the people to clean up the madman in the past few days.
Let's go.
When the door opened, Zhong Bo was still looking at the rain outside the window, thinking about things.
"Hey...... Zhong Bo, how are you doing these days? ”
Zhou Guan's voice came from behind.
Zhong Bo's heart was moved, and when he looked back, he thought that it was the one who delivered the food, but he didn't expect that it was Zhou Guan, who had cooled himself for a few days, and he should have made some arrangements for himself.
Sure enough, I saw Zhou Guanyi sitting on the sofa with his arms outstretched, half-lying on the sofa, very relaxed, not afraid of Zhong Bo's attack on him at all:
"Now this school is basically under my control, and I have almost cleaned up the infected people outside.
However, in order to cope with the crisis that followed, we also need to go out and get some tools and materials to strengthen the walls and gates of the school.
The people under my current command have not yet found the ability to lead a team to collect outside, but if I only lead the team by myself, the efficiency is too slow.
So, how about you go out with a team? ”
Zhou Guan's behavior was casual, but the topic of discussion was very serious.
Zhong Bo knew in his heart that the test for himself was coming.
He complained in his heart, he could only hide from those crazy people, how could he lead the team out to collect materials?
Just without waiting for him to reply, Zhou Guan continued:
"Okay, that's it! You take twenty people and three cars out, and I'll give you a list of materials in a moment! ”
With that, he got up and left, and the door was not locked again.
Outside the administration building, several trucks were parked in the rain-soaked square, and the trolleys that had been surrounding the vicinity as an obstacle to the movement of the infected had all been cleared, leaving behind black patches after burning.
Zhou Guan was speaking to dozens of people under the rain corridor on the first floor, and the people were divided into several groups, each group of six people, and one person served as the team leader.
Seeing Zhong Bo coming down, Zhou Guan changed his serious tone just now, and said to everyone with a smile:
"Okay, your deputy head is here, and today's task will be led by me and the deputy head of the group.
The first team, the second team, and the third team followed the deputy leader, and the three, four, five, six, seven, and eight teams were led by me, and the main materials collected today were steel and welding equipment, so it was good to set ......off."
Hearing the deputy head of the regiment, Zhong Bo was stunned for a moment, and then understood that it was himself who should be said.
But what is this kind of rough arrangement? There was no destination, no list to say, only what to collect, Zhou Guan led forty or fifty people into the truck and headed towards the school gate.
There were only more than twenty people left, staring at Zhong Bo with big eyes.
Among these more than 20 people, there are many familiar faces of Zhong Bo, such as Qin Yu and several boys who were with him, such as the mother and son family who were saved by themselves.
These are the first, second, and third teams that Zhou Guan said, and they are also the first people he subdued, and some of the people who are most loyal to him, so Zhou Guan is not afraid of Zhong Bo running away, because Jiang Xue and Zhong Yiyi are not among the more than 20 people.
Xiang Xin looked at Zhong Bo in front of him a little embarrassed, because they not only went out with Zhong Bo to collect supplies, but also came to spy on Zhong Bo.
Besides, Zhong Bo was arrested, and he also stopped him by driving, but after all, it was Zhong Bo who saved their mother and son, and before the conscience in his heart was not ignorant, the guilt in his heart was difficult to erase after all.
Zhong Bo glanced at everyone, didn't say anything, got into a car directly, and sat in the co-pilot without saying a word.
Since there is no way to escape, you can only follow the arrangement first and plan where to collect the materials first.
Rongcheng's building materials city is concentrated at the north gate, but the current traffic situation is obviously unrealistic in the past, and the nearest one is the hardware market under the PolyU interchange.
But considering the probability that Zhou Guan and his party who left first might go first, Zhong Bo decided to go to the building materials city at the east gate.
Although the building materials city at the east gate is not closer than the north gate in terms of distance, and the scale is relatively small, it is convenient because it is just below the East Ring Viaduct.
Therefore, Zhong Bo decided to get a crane first, so that he could load and unload steel directly on the elevated road, and just on the way from PolyU to Dongmen Building Materials City, there was a fire brigade, and the rescue ladder truck in it was just right to use.
Then he commanded everyone to drive towards the elevated road.
The street on which the school was elevated was obviously cleared, and everyone went up the elevated highway smoothly, and soon arrived at the location of the fire squadron.
Zhong Bo beckoned to stop, looking at the street below on the elevated road, the scene of the large-scale traffic accident, made him muttered in his heart:
Sure enough, I can't drive down, but the many crazy people wandering around below can't get around the hurdle, what should I do?
He was still thinking about how to deal with those infected, but the more than twenty people had already picked up their own homemade weapons, got out of the car, and waited for Zhong Bo's order, without the slightest hint of stage fright.
Zhong Bo was stunned, what have these people experienced in the past seven days?
When everyone saw him, they thought he was afraid, but they didn't say anything, who called Zhong Bo the deputy head appointed by the big leader, they had learned Zhou Guan's cruel methods, they didn't listen to the command, only Liangliang, there was no reason.
However, there were still people who were still not used to Zhong Bo, so at this moment, a duck-like voice shouted:
"Yo, vice-...... Commander, what are you doing here? What's the plan, you're arranging it, what's the fuss here, won't you be afraid? Oh, I remember, you did come all the way from a neighborhood, haha......"
The voice was clearly teasing, and the word [deputy] dragged on for a long time.
This person is Xiang Xin's son Zhao Ming, he never forgets the experience when Zhong Bo planned to abandon them and escape, let alone the scene when he peed his pants and was looked at by Zhong Bo's strange eyes, so looking at Zhong Bo deflated, he was 100,000 willing, even if he was the so-called deputy head of the regiment.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhao Qiang, who knows his son's personality very well, but he doesn't know much about Zhong Bo's character, so he hurriedly took his son's hand and signaled him not to say anything.
Zhong Bo ignored his ridicule at all, and seeing that everyone was not afraid of these infected people, he also had a bottom in his heart.
Because these brainless things are actually difficult to deal with, it is to rely on the number of people and the charge that is not afraid of death to win, as long as there are enough people, relying on geographical advantages, and having enough courage, they can quickly solve the few infected people below.
"All go down the bridge, target the fire brigade, attack it!"
