Chapter 6 Sister Mandarin Duck
Slight outgassing sounds. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to hear it, but Li Qingyan heard it—the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
“...... Are you a mercenary now?" asked the girl cautiously, "is that the ...... Mercenaries of the Promotion Society?"
Last night, Li Qingyan mentioned the word "promotion association" to Black Widow, and the girl actually remembered it. But I didn't ask at the time, and I didn't mention it until then.
"The Promotion Association is not a mercenary organization. "It's a radical group." You should have heard of what they do. ”
“...... What's the matter?" star fruit had a bad premonition - almost everything that came out of his mouth in a relaxed tone was beyond her ability to accept and understand.
Then I heard him say, "There was a news last month. It is said that the chief of security of Beishan City was attacked while cutting the ribbon of the newly opened shopping mall. He didn't die, but the onlookers were killed by several - have you seen it on TV?"
Star fruit was stunned: "Isn't that the explosion of a liquefied gas tank?"
Li Qingyan laughed: "Who sells liquefied gas canisters in the mall? That's what they did." The Promotion Association - the Association for the Promotion of Peace and Co-Prosperity between Humans and Demons - they are a terrorist organization. ”
Carambola took a deep breath and decided not to ask any more.
The more she asked, the more scared she became.
Li Qingyan turned his face to look at her: "Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not a member of the Facilitation Association either—not really. ”
Listening to his explanation, the carambola's face turned even paler.
The girl's silence lasted for three hours. It wasn't until the two of them climbed a gentle slope and reached the top of the slope that she let out a soft "ah".
The outpost can already be seen from here. The road down the hill and another road from the southwest converge at the outpost and lead to the city. The outpost is stuck at the intersection of the two roads. It was a permanent fortification built more than 40 years ago to defend against the forces of the United States at the time. It was later modernized and rebuilt to become a checkpoint for access to the city.
The outpost is surrounded by large areas of flat land, and further onto the outskirts of the city can be seen sparsely populated with low-rise bungalows or two-story buildings. A barrier was erected at the intersection, and two soldiers of the city defense force were smoking and talking with guns hanging on - star fruit could almost see their faces.
Her heart pounded—was he really going to take him into town?
But Li Qingyan did not go down, but turned around and walked into the forest. Carambola finally couldn't help but say, "We...... Aren't you going into town?"
"You can't get in from here. Li Qingyan pointed down the mountain, "There is a net." ”
Star fruit looked down the hill from the gap between the branches and leaves, and saw an iron net. It is about four meters high and encloses the mountain. It should be set up near the city, in case people in the wasteland run here under the cover of the dense forest like them, and then take advantage of the night or dense fog to storm the checkpoint.
There is also a concrete flat land nearly two meters wide between the iron fence and the mountain forest. The trees on the side of the fence should have been trimmed to prevent them from touching or jumping over the fence. Outside, there is an aqueduct more than a meter wide, adjacent to the road. There is stinky water in the canal, floating all kinds of debris and garbage, I don't know how many years I have saved.
This is...... Power grid. Because there is a black and yellow warning sign on it, intimate reminder: there is a danger of electricity, it is forbidden to touch.
But the little animals in the mountains should not be able to read - the rotting corpses are surrounded by the edges of the iron fence.
"I could have jumped over it myself. Li Qingyan explained as he walked, "But if you can't take you, you will fall into the ditch - the water in there is too smelly." There is an entrance on the other side, which is used by the rangers when they trim the trees. Let's get out of there. ”
Star fruit had nothing to say, so she could only continue to follow him obediently.
When he arrived in the city, Li Qingyan seemed to be a little relaxed: "After the checkpoint in a while, let's go get something to eat first." Find a car and walk for half an hour to Qingjiang District. There's a restaurant there that specializes in beef offal - the boss is a demon clan, and it's said that he is still a cow demon. The taste is very good. ”
Star fruit didn't know what to say - she hadn't adjusted her mindset yet. Because I still don't know if I'm a hostage or a person to be rescued. Just yesterday there were several demons who seemed to be coming for themselves...... How could he be so relaxed?
She couldn't help but say again: "Those demon clans that passed just now ...... The Red Gang, will they ......?"
Li Qingyan smiled: "Don't worry about this. They should be looking for us along the road. You'll be safe when we're in the city—they won't dare go into the city to do something. ”
As he spoke, he could already see the entrance and exit of the ranger that Li Qingyan had spoken of—on the other side of the mountain, a door had been opened in the power grid, and a small bridge made of prefabricated slabs crossed the ditch. There is also a tall trimming cart on this side of the net. The guillotine-like edge on the body was rusty, and no one had been here for a while.
"I left a lock here when I came. Li Qingyan said, "From there, let's go into the city." ”
The next moment, I heard the voice of a third person: "Xiao Yan'er, what's the hurry." Let's catch up with my brothers and sisters. ”
It's a woman talking.
Li Qingyan stopped and stretched out his hand to stop the star fruit.
A young woman came out of the forest in front of her, dressed in style. Long hair is a colorful color, fluffy and grand. He was wearing a colorful trench coat, and under the trench coat was a colorful tight-fitting sports suit. Not to mention how her outfits match, but the whole person is indeed like a firework.
However, she was not lonely - four other people came out from four sides, surrounding Li Qingyan and star fruit in the middle.
"Sister Mandarin Duck. Li Qingyan sighed lightly, "I thought I had dumped you." ”
The woman blinked her heavily makeup eyes and laughed: "I hope you are back in the wasteland again, how can you do without seeing you." Besides, your tracking technique was taught by my sister, how can the master be worse than the apprentice. ”
She glanced at the star fruit again: "Let's go." Your brother Li Cheng is waiting to see you. ”
Carambola found that her pupils were thin. Like the eyes of a bird.
At this time, she very much hoped that Li Qingyan would start rolling up her sleeves and throwing stones again as before. But he didn't. She realized that these five "people" should be more terrifying than the hideous-looking demon clan they had seen before.
The two men were politely "sent" down the hill, and then the roar of the car was heard. The convoy that had been seen before had been waiting there from the other end of the road—on the other side of the ranger's entrance, hidden by dense trees.
Carambola couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the outpost not far away. The two soldiers there were only a dozen meters away from these demons. However, they looked at the situation here and did not move, as if as long as they did not cross the yellow cordon three meters in front of the outpost, everything had nothing to do with them.
The man in the cowboy suit jumped out of the jeep and laughed as the two of them were sent off the grid and stopped on the side of the road.
He stared at Li Qingyan carefully up and down for a while: "Xiao Yan'er, are you still afraid of getting dirty?" I made a bet with your Sister Mandarin Duck and said that you must come out of this door in a proper manner-you see that I still understand you." ”
