The fur coat didn't look at the bill of lading at all, and pointed at Hong Tao's nose with his fingers on his hips for a long time, but finally he didn't curse.Suppressing his temper, he explained what the rules are, and then he didn't stay for a while, and ran towards the opposite side of the road.

"It seems that I can't pick up all the orders in the future..." The list of contraband can be memorized without looking at it, and the pick-up location is known. Even if you don't know it, it's very easy to find on the map, the capital train station in the old world!

Here lies the problem. Hong Tao had never heard of or thought that he would have to go to the alliance base to pick up the goods himself in order to do this business.The train station is not too bad, what if I go to the alliance headquarters to pick up the goods?

It has only been less than ten years since I feigned death and left, and most of the management alliances that followed me at that time are probably still there.Wearing glasses and having scars on your face can hide it from most people's eyes, but you can't be sure when facing acquaintances.The question is, what if you are not allowed to wear glasses when you get there?As soon as you pick it off, it will reveal the stuffing.

According to Leather, the two carriages passed the checkpoint on the overpass smoothly.No, this is no longer a checkpoint, but a roadblock or a fortress.A total of four large stone walls, one person tall, are arranged staggeredly. Not only can they defend against people, it is estimated that even tanks can't get through.

Hong Tao dared to guarantee that the detonation point must have been arranged on the piers below the bridge. Once attacked, the engineers would immediately stuff the medicine into it and prepare to break the bridge at any time, and then use the moat below to defend against it.

Moreover, the soldiers here are not as polite as the security team and the soldiers under the bridge. Everyone has to take off their coats for a full-body inspection, and there are police dogs all over the car, mainly targeting weapons and ammunition.Refugees are allowed to carry a limited number of guns in the safe zone, but guns are banned in the alliance base, and even daggers must be temporarily withheld and taken away when they come out.

Compared with the safe zone, the base is really like a paradise.The street is very tidy. Although most of the buildings on both sides are dilapidated like the Guomao complex, it can be seen at a glance that someone has cleaned and tidied up here, but because there are too many buildings, it is impossible to demolish them one by one.

"Brother Shu, Brother Shu, look over there!" It's people and women who make stupid pigs less eyeballs than neatness.There are female soldiers in military uniforms, but most of them are in casual clothes, and there are many young and beautiful girls among them.

"Just look at it, don't point!" If possible, Hong Tao would like to come down by himself and let them drive the car first.

"Brother Shu, do you think we have a chance to get a resident status?" Bungy withdrew his finger, but couldn't take his eyes back.Stare at it from 100 meters away, then turn your head and send it 100 meters away.

"The rules here are the same as in the army. It's not that you can marry a daughter-in-law whenever you want. It depends on lottery. What if you get her?"

On the contrary, Hong Tao was very resistant to this set of things he made, and he was too unfree.At the beginning, military control was implemented only to survive.If he had a choice, he would rather go back to Xinjiang and continue to be Yuluo.

"Oh, don't point it out... I'm already 43. It would be nice to have a wife, what do you choose!" Satisfied, even if you are a little fatter, you don't dislike it.

"Alas..." Hong Tao was speechless, there was no way to persuade him with this thing.

It is not rare to say that women are not important and give them for free?Who would believe it.If you work hard, you can marry a wife if you save enough money. The problem is that the quality of women in the safe zone is obviously not as high as that in the base.Ordinary women here can be the number one card in the Three Rings Entertainment City when they go outside.

Thinking of the fateful brothers who have worked so hard to get together, one day they will be tricked by someone and they will be completely divorced. I have no way to stop it, what else can I do except sigh!You can't even think about blaming them. There's no way. This is not only human nature, but also the most basic human nature.

"Wow... this is the train station, it's similar to the one in the picture! Brother Shu, can we see Tiananmen Square?" People have seen enough, Bungy started to look at the scenery again, he had an impression of the Beijing Railway Station, and then remembered another A more impressive place.

"Hey... go, go, go down! Xiao Ma, come here... you have never seen the market!" Hong Tao really didn't want to listen to the stupid pig, because he didn't have enough eyes. He was scanning everyone nearby like a radar, trying to identify whether there were acquaintances, and his heart was almost in his throat.

What's more troublesome is that he himself doesn't know who he knows and who he doesn't know.During the Revival Alliance period, this face of mine was not precious, and I ran around all day when I had nothing to do. It is estimated that more than half of the people have seen it.

An hour of torment!Hong Tao felt relieved when the carriage passed the overpass checkpoint again.The process of picking up the goods at the train station was very smooth. With the bill of lading, the soldiers stationed here drove the crane to load the goods without any further questions.Then hand Xiao Ma a bill of lading and see off the customer!

Obviously, this station has been used as a cargo exchange center inside and outside the base. Materials from all over the world are gathered here by railway, and then sent to places where they are needed by various means of transportation.

For bulky, expensive, and dangerous goods, the alliance has motorcade teams and soldiers to escort them. Scattered items of several hundred kilograms like this would be too wasteful to travel by car, so they happen to be transported by horse-drawn carriage.

The design is good and scientific, and Hong Tao fully affirmed this model.but!The original intention, process and results are often inconsistent.The people who designed this method at the beginning must have never thought that the model that was originally beneficial to the people would be ruined by the crooked monk. If it continues like this, it may be harmful.

Chapter 663 Albatross 6

Pulling hundreds of catties of cargo, the pack horse's footsteps became a bit heavy, but fortunately the road was relatively flat, and even without the lightness brought by the pneumatic tires, the carriage was still running smoothly.

"Brother Shu, why are we back here again!" As for the first time he walked out of the safe zone, Xiao Ma was not as talkative as Bungy Pig, but he was still a little surprised when he saw the familiar Min Si Bridge.

"Look for yourself, I really don't know how you survived before!" Hong Tao stuffed the map over and called Xiao Ma, but this one is about 30 years old, and he is actually a mild road blind. Rather confused.

But this time he was right, he really came back, no, it should be said that he was passing by, the road to Langfang happened to pass by here.Even if you don't pass by, you have to come back. The weapons are still hidden outside the South Fifth Ring Road. Although it is only more than 50 kilometers away, you can't be careless.

As for how to carry guns, Fat Sheep took it into consideration when making the carriage.There is a long and narrow space under the front end of the vehicle board, just enough to put a rifle in, and a person sitting on it can reach it by bending over and stretching out his hands.

This is mainly to deal with sudden inspections by the alliance army. Although the area beyond the Fourth Ring Road is basically a red zone, it is an area controlled by the alliance after all. Military patrols come and go every day, and there are outposts and temporary checkpoints in some places.

The transportation team has a license plate and a pass, and the drivers have an ID card, but they do not have the privilege of exemption from inspection.Once the military finds that they are holding standard weapons, even if they do not violate the safety zone regulations, no one has any objections to confiscating them.

Is it enough to have weapons, body armor, and helmets?Others may think it is enough, but Hong Tao has to say no.He hates everything that cannot be controlled, and is willing to spend his life to minimize the proportion of the uncontrolled.

So a thermal imaging scope and two Russian-made night vision goggles were hidden in the metal frame of the carriage.Night vision goggles are used for camping in the wild at night, while thermal imaging sights can be used day and night.

Even on a sunny noon, it can convert the image to black-and-white mode, showing different levels of heat sources through grayscale.There is even a stroke function, as long as you get used to it for a while, the resolution is even clearer than at night.

With this device, Hong Tao can try his best to find out whether there is any heat source activity about one kilometer in advance. If there is little shelter from the building, he can clearly see the movement of people 3 kilometers away.

Of course, if there were actually snipers hiding behind buildings and not moving an inch, they wouldn't be able to detect them.But Hong Tao felt that this situation would not be too much and could be ignored.He is habitually cautious, not obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor is he a control freak. He gives up on things he cannot control faster than anyone else.

But even with so much preparation, I was still very tired from walking for most of the day, either because my body was tired or my nerves were tense.According to the pre-plan, there may be accidents on this trip, and even the second-hand dealer in leather clothes was suspected of deliberately setting the trap.

Driven by this kind of thinking, everyone is in a state of combat readiness, with bullets loaded and ready to deal with sudden attacks, and there is even a way to distinguish the real from the fake after encountering the alliance army.

In the end, Hong Tao made a miscalculation, and the journey was extremely smooth. There was neither alliance troops nor enemy ambushes, and he had never even seen a living person.Only wild cats, wild dogs, weasels, badgers, wild boars, pheasants... and ubiquitous crows and magpies can be seen.

"Put away the guns and find a place to hide them!" Seeing that he was not far from his destination, Hong Tao climbed up to the top of a five-story building on the side of the road to have a look, and immediately issued a new order after he got down.

The plan has changed. Originally, it was just to hide the guns and ammunition in the carriage, go to the metal processing factory to unload and load the goods, and then return overnight.The cats and dogs are all floating clouds. It is estimated that they will disperse as soon as they get close to the pony. The nickname of animal predators is not for nothing.

However, the metal processing factory seen from the thermal sight and the telescope made Hong Tao a little uneasy. It has high walls, watchtowers are set up at the four corners, and there are at least four or five people cruising at the gate of the courtyard.

Where the hell is a metal processing factory, the defense is too tight!If you guessed correctly, there must be machine guns on the watchtower, and the man cruising at the door is not the master of the messenger, but a sentinel with live ammunition.

But if you say that the leather jacket has deceived yourself, it doesn't look like it.The people who stamp the office and the people who load the goods at the train station are all official employees of the alliance. If they all want to harm themselves, there is no need to go to such trouble.I don't seem to have that much energy, and within two months of my arrival, I have become enemies everywhere.

Neither advancing nor retreating, Hong Tao thought about it for a few minutes on the roof, and finally decided that it would be more appropriate to go and have a look.Most likely, this yard looks like a factory, with smoke coming from the chimney, bursts of white steam rising, and a lot of lighting, not like a den of illegal elements.

Hong Tao guessed right this time. When the two carriages walked within one kilometer, he could clearly see soldiers in military uniforms and holding rifles through the binoculars. armored car.

"No. 914 Metal Processing Factory in the Capital Control Area of ​​the East Asian Union..." If you get closer, you can see the sign hanging on the gate through the telescope. It is indeed the name written on the delivery note.

"Hey...Xiao Ma, bring the crowbar and vise here!" Seeing that he was about to enter an open field after turning the corner, Hong Tao suddenly stopped the car at the north of a small two-story building, climbed onto the car board and greeted Xiao Ma take tools.

"Creak... creak..." After taking the tool, Hong Tao launched an offensive against the wooden box without saying a word.Pry the board from three directions respectively. In order to prevent the indentation of the crowbar on the board below, the handle of the vise is also used as a spacer.

"This fucking isn't a metal processing factory at all!" Hong Tao stopped after prying open three wooden boxes in a row, and then put wooden sticks on them and nailed the wooden boards back with a hammer.

"What's that?" Pony followed from the beginning to the end, but he couldn't understand anything except the cold machine parts.

"It's an ammunition factory, filled with bullets, maybe there are shells!"

This is the gap in knowledge. Hong Tao doesn't know what the machine that produces bullets on the assembly line looks like, but he has seen a machine that presses bullets by hand.There are similar molds in these boxes. Although the appearance is different, but with a little understanding of the mechanical structure, you can roughly guess what it is for.

"...Brother Shu, don't we lack bullets?" Xiao Ma not only didn't give the boss a thumbs up for his erudition, but also showed disbelief on his face.

"I went to rob the ammunition factory when my mother was full! Be honest when you go in, don't mess around, and do what you are asked to do!" Hong Tao was very puzzled. See what you get for your reputation.

Hong Tao guessed right again, this 914 metal processing factory is a military factory!You don't need to enter the door, just look at the armored vehicles and tanks parked in the yard, as well as teams of Union regular troops, you will know that this place is extraordinary.

But all of this has nothing to do with the transportation team. He was searched all over his body, even the bag for the horse's fodder. In the end, he was still not eligible to enter the courtyard gate, and could only wait outside for the workers to come out to unload the goods.Then a lieutenant pointed to the east and told the coachmen to spend the night in the small yard over there and come back to load the goods tomorrow morning.

"Sir, we want to go back overnight. Today is the first time we have come out to deliver goods. The family is waiting... Look..." Hong Tao really didn't want to spend the night here, so he leaned over and pretended to be pitiful with a smile on his face.

"Walking at night! Aren't you afraid of being torn apart by wild dogs? I warn you, there are packs of wild dogs on the road. It's a trivial matter if the goods are not delivered, and it won't be worth it if the people are gone!" I looked up and down with interest, and I didn't say it was impossible, but I didn't recommend it.

"We all come from the Great Northwest. The wolves over there are much more powerful than the wild dogs. Don't be afraid. You've got used to it. There are ways to deal with it. I guarantee you won't lose your goods." Gold.

"Our goods are all iron bumps, and wild dogs won't eat them... really have to walk at night?" The lieutenant seemed to believe it.

"Yes, hurry up, you can still sleep half the night when you get home, and the things will be delivered early tomorrow without delay!" Hong Tao nodded vigorously, and even threw out a small temptation to deliver them a day earlier!

Chapter 664 Homecoming

"...Xiao Wang, let Master Zhang and the others come out to load the goods!" The lieutenant nodded, then turned around and shouted at the soldiers behind him.

"There's no need to hurry. They are all old machine parts and no one is waiting to use them. Take your time and put safety first. By the way, you said today is the first delivery?"

"No, it's also fate to catch up with you, sir, right after the opening. I know that you are disciplined not to take things from refugees. This is a happy cigarette for the opening, and smoking one is not a violation of the rules. Come, come, light up... ..."

What does it mean to be pervasive, Hong Tao is that he is tirelessly looking for small cracks in the eggshells all the time, he may not be able to get in, and he must not let it go.In fact, he would be a very good businessman if he had a little patience. Unfortunately, he couldn't pretend just to make money.

"Okay, let's be happy... This cigarette is not in vain. Come on, register your ID card. If you can walk at night and have more urgent work in the future, I will send someone to find it directly. Then you can Don’t say that this can’t be done or that can’t be done, even if you knock on the door in the middle of the night, you have to get up and hit the road. How about it, can you still brag about it?”

This lieutenant was much more easy-going than the Union soldiers standing guard on the Second Ring Road. He not only smoked, but also threw one to each of the soldiers behind him, and then called a soldier to come over with a notebook to register.

"Xiao Ma, what are you doing in a daze, take your ID card and ask the officer to register... No problem, we used to herd sheep and horses, let alone driving at night, with such thick snow, we found that the sheep were lost, and we still got lost in the middle of the night Go out and look for it. Sometimes it takes several days to look for it, and it’s nothing to eat and sleep in the open or starve!”

What did the ancients say?Opportunities always favor those who are prepared!The ability is there, and the opportunity can be seized when it comes.If you can deliver goods for the military and become a semi-regular customer, it will be of great help to the future development of the transportation team.

So Hong Tao began to fool around, and his identity was switched to a herdsman in an instant.Anyway, the round trip is only a hundred miles away, and a half-day walk is enough.

"Where is your hometown?" The lieutenant is not a child, and he doesn't have much feeling for such words, but he seems to have a little interest in the person in front of him.

"Jiu, Jiuquan... Can you hear my accent?" Hong Tao was not ambiguous. He had been carefully distinguishing the officer's accent since he spoke, and he was basically sure that he was not from the Northwest.

"I'm farther than you, have you heard of Licheng?" The lieutenant nodded, seemingly unsuspecting, and told his story.

"Good guy, isn't there a... what comer over there? It seems that you are not allowed to come and go casually, how did you come here?" Hearing this answer, Hong Tao was a little surprised, good guy, it can't be the adjudicator who came after him Bar!Or is the Redeemer defeated?

"The last time I went home was more than ten years ago... After graduating from university, I went to the south to settle down. I didn't go back every year. Now I feel at ease. I just don't go back. There is no one going back..." the lieutenant said He was a little emotional as he spoke, took a deep breath, and took a long breath before he could barely suppress it.

"Hey...surviving is the greatest reward for them. Sir, can I ask if I can get extra money for traveling at night?" A topic can't be further discussed at this level, Hong Tao hurriedly interrupted , Help the other party to transfer their emotions.

"Cut, you're still young, you'll know after a few more months of work. If you can directly pick up the work from us, the price is at least twice as high as the company's. Don't worry, as long as it's an urgent job, the shipping fee will definitely be paid. Inevitably."

"It looks like you're not too young, and you're from the Northwest. It's really fate. I need to give you some advice. This line of work is not easy, but you've done it, so you can't just throw it away. Try to avoid long-distance trips issued by the company, especially those going to the east.”

"The railway over there hasn't been opened yet, and there are a lot of transportation tasks every year. It takes a month or two to leave. Remember, as long as there is no army escort job, you won't pick it up. Don't ask why!"

The lieutenant suppressed the homesickness that had arisen for no reason, and felt that the ferocious-looking old guy in front of him was pleasing to the eye, so he said a few more words before the goods were loaded.

Unlike the driver of the transport team and the old man who drove the car, he didn't have any worries about the inside of the industry, and he seemed to know a little better.Although I didn't say it too clearly, I probably expressed the meaning clearly.

Of course, Hong Tao is very grateful. It is really rare to meet a person who has no relatives and no reason who is willing to help out. Even if there is no job-hunting relationship, it is worth making friends.

So the name of the lieutenant came into being. His name was Yu Qing, he was 35 years old, and he settled in Xuzhou before the zombie disease. He joined the alliance with a small local group five years ago.

Due to his good performance in military training, he joined the Union Army the following year and performed well in several battles to clear up zombies. He was promoted to lieutenant the year before last, and has been stationed here since then.But he didn't say what the factory was for, and Hong Tao didn't ask.

About half an hour or so, the goods were loaded, and there were still eight large wooden boxes, but none of them were packaged, and they were simply tied with ropes.Two didn't even have covers, and were filled with black, sludge-ridden machine parts.

Yu Qing did not see him off. He was called into the factory by soldiers when the goods were almost finished, and he never came out again.Hong Tao didn't deliberately wait to say goodbye, he told the soldier to convey his thanks and set off on his way home.

The road is still the road in the daytime, and there are still four people, but the situation is completely different.Yu Qing wasn't exaggerating at all, since he left the processing factory for about a mile, the heat source on the side of the road flashed from time to time.But none of them are human beings, and they belong to small and medium-sized animals in terms of shape.

These guys are not afraid of people, they have been trying to get closer to the side of the road, and they can see pairs of green eyes without hot aiming. Coupled with the moonless dark night and the howling one after another, it is really scary.

It's a pity that they really found the wrong person. One of the four people on the carriage counts as one. Who hasn't eaten the meat of wild cats and dogs?In the face of this situation, except for the horses being a little restless, everyone was talking and laughing.

When there are too many, a dazzling light will suddenly flash in the dark night.Accompanied by loud gunshots, a cat or dog cruising on the side of the road became food for other animals to fight for, and the remaining green eyes immediately stopped daring to approach.It seems that not only people are afraid of evil people, but even animals are the same.

Generally speaking, the return journey was very peaceful, with nothing but beasts.At 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, the two carriages arrived at the weapon hiding place, packed the things they shouldn't have brought with them, and got into the courtyard one after the other before dawn.

"Are you really in trouble?" Hu Yang was a little surprised that the convoy who went out to pick up work for the first time came back in the early morning, but it didn't look like he had just experienced a battle.

"No, let's get some hot food first, and I have to go to the base to deliver the goods after dawn. Oh yes, I'm in a hurry." Hong Tao smiled and patted the old man. shoulders, let him rest easy.

"There's no need to call for someone. He's holding a walkie-talkie and it's on all night. Skinny Monkey tried all the batteries you found and found more than 20 energy-saving ones to charge. Now there is no shortage of batteries."

Hearing that there was nothing wrong with the transport team, Hu Yang was completely relieved, and then told a very good news.As long as you have sufficient batteries and can use the walkie-talkie to communicate in time, the safety will be greatly improved.

"It's a pity, there are still a few electric cars in the red zone to the west, and the battery packs have been removed... It doesn't matter, there are plenty of electric cars, I'll look for them when I have time. Oh, by the way, I'll find time to compile a channel list for Fat sheep, thin monkeys, and water snakes, they carried it down."

"In the future, the call channel will be changed at least twice a day. This place is no different than the Redeemer Base. The East Asian Alliance has strong interception technology. Once it is monitored, it will be targeted. Don't take it seriously."

It is a good thing to have a walkie-talkie available, but Hong Tao couldn't help but shiver when he thought of his record of eavesdropping on other people's calls with his individual radio station and then sneaking in.

There is no shortage of talents in this field in the East Asian Alliance, and they also attach great importance to these technical means. They dare not say that they have expanded the monitoring network to all control areas, at least they will not turn a blind eye to strange radio signals in the safe area.Coupled with the Ministry of Internal Affairs led by Lin Na, whoever bites them will definitely not let go easily, and they can't be too careful.

Chapter 665

Compared with Hong Tao's cautiousness, Fat Sheep is too careless.He didn't come here secretly, but was called out from the shed by the scalper with great fanfare, and he entered the compound with a lantern and open fire along the way, without even closing the door.

But Hong Tao did not criticize at all, this is not a mistake but intentional.The two carriages were made by Fat Sheep. If there is a problem with the carriage, who should I turn to if there is a problem with the carriage?Not only do you have to come in a fair manner, but you also have to provide after-sales service!

In addition, in a few days, Fat Sheep will officially move into the small building.It's too cold in the shed, you don't need eyeliner, brother can't suffer.He is just a bike repairer, so it is impossible for him to have the money to go to Xiushan Apartment, so it is only natural to rent a room here.

"Come on, let's see what these things are for?" But when the courtyard door was closed, Hong Tao, who was full of curses and complained about the quality of the carriage, immediately got under the ceiling, lowered his voice, and deliberately lifted the sheet on the carriage.

"...It looks a bit like a stamping machine. These small round holes are filled with semi-finished products, and they are sent here...It's not right, the things above are not stamped."

Fat Sheep was not too dirty, and moved out all the iron bumps in the box one by one, looked hard with the flashlight, and quickly found the connection between each other, but hesitated after getting together.

"Click... how about putting this on?" Hong Tao took out two rifle shell casings from his pocket and put them in the small round holes.The most important thing is not the small round hole at the bottom, but the pair of clamps on the top, which are just stuck at the seal of the bullet case.

"Oh, I see. This is a complete assembly line for stamping, charging, and shrinking, and it is used to make bullets!" The sound of the drum does not require a heavy hammer, and Fat Sheep has never seen such a machine.And this bullet is an awl, and it will break the window paper with a light touch.

"Can we use it?" It was not Hong Tao's goal to let Fat Sheep know that the use of the machine was more important.

"...I'm afraid it's too much, I have no motivation!" Fat Sheep thought for a while and began to shake his head.

"What if it is powered on?" Hong Tao continued to inspire.

"It will be loud..." Fat Sheep nodded first, then shook his head.

"That's right. I originally wanted to buckle down a few key components and come back a few more times to build a small ammunition factory for us."

Now Hong Tao was at a loss. What Fat Sheep said was very important. Even if there was enough power, this thing would probably make a lot of noise when it started.Besides, the alliance will not provide too much power to a hotel. It is technically no problem to use a steam engine, but where should it be placed?
