Generally speaking, most professional drivers like to chat, as long as they open the chat box, there will be endless chatter.The driver in the new world is equivalent to the taxi driver + cargo driver in the old world. After all, he pulls both people and goods.

Of course, the chat partner has to be pleasing to the eye first. For example, the current Brother Shu has initially gained the approval of the old man, so he talks more, and no longer asks half a sentence like before.

"Boss Lu, are you really that powerful?" Brother Shu smiled slightly when he heard that he was the largest in the country, his face smudged with dust and beard stubble, and deliberately turned around to confirm to Boss Lu.

"It's not so bad, you can rest assured that I will do things, and you will never fool anyone with what you pay for!"

Ever since Brother Dashu approached the old man driving the car to ask questions, Boss Lu's eyes never left the back of their heads, and his expression was a little nervous.But as long as you look at him, you will immediately put on a smile, and pat your chest to emphasize your reputation for the nth time.

"Brother, I'm asking something that shouldn't be asked. Don't take it to heart if it's suitable or not. It's just pure curiosity and nothing else. You must have been here for many years, why didn't you mix in there? What about it?" Brother Shu nodded in satisfaction, then turned around to harass the driver again.

"Hey, there's no need to ask, it's not something to be ashamed of. It means that you didn't know the rules when you first came here, and you'll figure it out even if no one tells you after a while."

"I came here from the Four Provinces Alliance with the engineering soldiers. It's only been two years since I was fully paid. If you want to live there, unless you have good craftsmanship or are selected as a soldier, you have to register and line up for others. Only when there is a quota."

"Take me as an example. I am so old and have no skills other than serving animals. Why should I invite you in to be an ancestor? Besides, it may not be good to go in. Many people line up just to sell places. I don’t even want to go when I’m in line.”

The old man driving the car seemed very interested in this topic, so he didn't even wave the horse whip, took the cigarette from his ear and put on the butt, stepped on the car board with one leg, turned his body halfway, and put on a pose I'll show you Speak clearly and thoroughly.

"Then, why is that!" Brother Shu was also unambiguous, not only answered the small questions just right, but also opened his slender eyes, showing the virtue of grandma Liu who went to the Grand View Garden to gain knowledge.

605 Familiar and Unfamiliar 3

"Let me tell you, that's militarized management... Do you know what militarization is?" The lecturer was annoyed by the students who didn't listen carefully, and was planning to have a good time driving the old man, when he ran into Brother Shu who was so thirsty for knowledge. A very high audience is like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and whoever refuses to speak will be in a hurry.

"..." Brother Shu shook his head vigorously, and at the same time, the two people sitting next to him also turned their heads around, no longer lingering on the surrounding scenery, and showed their thirst for knowledge together.

"The militarized management says that living in it is similar to being a soldier. You have to do what you are told to do, and you have to go to bed when you say it. No one can violate the high officials."

"Besides, the people inside have no private property. Even people and their families belong to the alliance. Even marrying a daughter-in-law has to be arranged, and whoever is asked to marry has to marry. If you catch up with a big yellow girl, you will be considered a copy, and you will be divided into two." Marriage and three marriages have to continue, there is no reason to talk about it!"

Seeing that the audience changed from one to three or four, the old cart driver simply put the other leg up, completely ignored the road, and let the bony pack horse play freely, concentrating all his energy on the lecture, dancing and saying The corners of his mouth were frothy, and he slapped his thigh in pain while talking.

"Ah... so overbearing..." Under the leadership of Brother Shu, several audience members opened their mouths and stared together, and let out a long exclamation.

"Can this still be false...Being a refugee is different. If you can get a formal status, the refugee is not much different from the people in it except that you can't serve as a soldier or an official. If you should go to work in a factory, you should go to work. If you farm in the fields, your children can still go to school."

Apart from paying taxes, the money you earn is yours. You can spend it however you want, eat whatever you want, live in whatever house you want, and marry whomever you want.As long as you don't commit crimes, don't get caught by the police, and you can earn food and drink with some skills, it's much more comfortable than living in it!

It can be seen from the expressions on the words that the old man driving the car doesn't like the way the East Asian Union manages the official residents, and he yearns for the life of the official refugees, so when he introduces this part of the content, he has a clear tendency.

At this time, the few people sitting on the car board had already started whispering to each other, and those who were far away were relayed by their companions, and after roughly understanding the regulations here, they all set their sights on Brother Shu.

"...Then when do you think brothers like us will be able to obtain official refugee status?" Of course Brother Shu also understood what everyone meant, and immediately chased after him.

"Well...it's hard to say. Originally, the remaining part of the moat alliance was not in a hurry. The engineering team inside has been slowly digging it for the past two years. I don't know why it is suddenly going to be completed this year. Recruiting people from all over the place... I don't know the specifics. He... drive... drive!"

This sentence seems to have touched a certain switch of the driver, from expression to tone, he suddenly returned to the state just now, put his legs down, picked up the whip and shook it in the air, and concentrated on controlling the carriage. get in a word.

"Don't be in a hurry, everyone. Don't worry about my work. As long as you enter the river construction site and perform better, you may be given your identity as soon as the project is completed by the end of the year. Even if you don't give it this time, I will ask someone to walk around next year. Relationship, let you go to the front row."

The few people on the board turned their attention to Boss Lu again, but he didn't hesitate, he patted his chest and gave a fairly clear context.

"Brother Shu, look over there!" None of the people on the board who answered the question expressed doubts, and chatted happily again.When the carriage turned from south to east, someone pointed to the front and shouted.

A large area of ​​twinkling starlight appeared on the horizon in the distance. Compared with the lights in the earth wall on the left, although the density is not as good, the area is quite large.If I guessed correctly, it should also be a light, not an oil lamp, but an electric lamp!

"Brother, isn't that the temple you mentioned?" Brother Shu leaned over to the driver again and asked.

"Yes, don't worry, there are still 7 kilometers to go, and it will take a while." The driver did not raise his head.

"Then why is there no light at all here?" Brother Shu didn't seem to notice the change in the uncle's attitude, pointing to the dark area on the right and asked.

"Don't dare to go here casually..." The driver finally turned his head around again, took a look and quickly avoided it, as if there was some monster hiding in the dark night.

"The alliance won't let you go?" Brother Shu seemed to understand something.

"The alliance is eager for you to go!" But he was despised by the driver.

"Why is that?" Brother Shu didn't intend to give up.

"...Let me tell you, hang around here, including going to Jinmen to seek a living in the future, there are two places you can't just go to. One is here, and the other is Chadian."

"The reason...it's very simple. Back then when millions of zombies attacked, the alliance fought in this direction from the fifth ring road to the third ring road. When the bullets ran out, they lined up holding the medicine packs. The medicine packs used When it’s all light, go up with a shield and a big knife.”

"Hundreds of death squads went forward and killed all the living corpses after seven days and seven nights. That man died like a sea. The dead zombies covered the street, more than half a meter deep!"

"Afterwards, the alliance only cleared a few areas to be inhabited by refugees, and left the rest of the area unattended... It is said that there are ghosts wandering around at night, and they can cry until dawn."

The old man who drives the cart is not at all like he said he only knows how to raise livestock. Although his voice is not loud or thick, it is very suitable for telling stories about ghosts and ghosts.This period of history made what he told a completely different version, and everyone couldn't help but feel that the wind blowing from the right seemed to be cooler!

"I've heard of the battle to defend the capital, but what you said is not right, zombies are not human anymore, can there be ghosts?"

Brother Shu glanced at a few companions beside him who were obviously not at ease, intending to tactfully correct the slip of the tongue of the old man driving the car, and the story should not be too outrageous, really fooling people like fools!

"I can still talk nonsense about this! They died wronged. Good people suddenly became like that, who was not raised by their fathers and mothers. But if we don't kill them, they will have to kill us... I don't know this disease When will it count?"

"I'm an old man who won't live for a few years. Even if you die of illness right away, it's not too bad. But you are still young. Apart from thanking God for surviving, you also have to think about the good of the alliance in your heart. You must not be a white-eyed wolf."

"If there weren't those people who fought against the zombies back then, none of us would have survived. Even if the rules are stricter now, it should be. Since you are here, work hard and don't hesitate to work hard. Don't be afraid of being tired. Why can't you die from exhaustion? drop."

"Usually, listen to what the alliance says, and less useless things. Here, everyone has a way to survive. You can't think about harming others just after a few days of eating like some people. People are doing things, and the sky is watching. It's immoral. If you do too much work, sooner or later you will be bitten to death by zombies!"

Seeing someone questioning his story, the old man driving the car was actually moved by his true feelings. Not only did he become more and more agitated, he kept wiping his tears with his cuffs, and finally started cursing directly.

"The old man calms down. People cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive have to find a way to live. You guys don't want to make the old man unhappy. Come, come, let's make up the matter of going to the recruiting site tomorrow. Some things can be said, some It’s best not to say anything, lest you get brushed off and blame me for not making it clear in advance.”

Seeing that the driver was so excited, the people on the cart were also a little puzzled, and just about to ask who was so wicked to think about harming others, Boss Lu yelled loudly first.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the grief of the uncle, and hurried to the middle of the cart, lying on the pile of salutes and listening to the precautions attentively. After all, other people's grief is not as important as their own future.

"Ah... ho... drive!" The driver took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, wiped his face with his cuff, and whipped the horse's ass hard.The pack horse was also unlucky, it was whipped in vain for no one to move, and it couldn't answer back, so it could only throw four kicks and drag the cart to the east, setting off a cloud of dust and smoke.

Chapter 606

You Sihai walked down the stairs with crab steps, fanned his clothes and looked at the sky.It's already September, and the weather is still a bit stuffy. I just walked up three flights of stairs after taking a shower, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozes out from my body, making it sticky.

If it wasn't for something he had to deal with by himself, he really didn't want to leave that soft body upstairs.Color is a bone-scraping steel knife, what the ancients said is right.It's only been a few months, since I hooked up with that bastard, not only the money has disappeared quickly, but also the strength seems to have disappeared. I used to dig two squares of soil with a big shovel, which is not as tiring as it is now.

"Fourth brother, the black donkey is back. He said he brought back a group of idiots. There should be some goods for the big and small bags, but the other party is very vigilant, and they might not be able to get them off just by moving their mouths." A figure came over.

"What the fuck knows how to choose the time...Where's the person?" You Sihai waved his hand impatiently, rejected the cigarette offered, and still fanned his clothes, hoping for a little wind.

"It's already been brought to the new area!" Human Shadow hurriedly put away the cigarette and replaced it with a hat to fan the wind.

"Then what are you waiting for, go and have a look!" With this gust of wind, You Sihai felt a little cooler, but his breathing was still not smooth.The main reason is that the younger brother's hat smells strongly of sweat, which is far less pleasant than the scent of the ladies upstairs.

"Fourth brother, these idiots look pretty strong, and they paid a lot of money for the black donkey to help pass the customs. I guess there should be something hidden on them." The younger brother on the side didn't move, but moved his face closer, The sound pressure is lower.

"... Fuck, there are so many guys, just they have us. Biaozi, I said you don't want to do it anymore, why are you getting more and more timid!"

The foot that had just been stretched out immediately retracted after hearing this sentence, but You Sihai immediately realized that he had lost his composure in front of his subordinates, and slapped him with a wave of his hand.Damn, if you dare to embarrass me, you should hit me!

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm ready for the manpower, but I'm afraid that if I start tossing around, I'll startle those black skins..." After being idle for a long time, he was slapped in the face in vain. He bowed even more, but still didn't move.

"What a fucking trouble... Find someone to tell your second brother that there may be some movement at night unloading, and ask him to say hello in advance, so that the black skins in the new area will not be surprised. You and your subordinates are good. , Whoever dares to be stabbed will be beaten to death, and he has found a way to say hello, don't get injured all the fuck, it's all about money, don't you understand!"

You Sihai didn't slap again, but he was still very impatient.The Youjiabang fished some oil and water from the refugees, when will they have to look at other people's eyes!But the hero doesn't mention the reason of bravery in the past, he still understands it very well. Now it's not the same as before, the alliance's high-level executives don't know why they suddenly went crazy, and they have to rush to complete the moat by the end of the year.

Only then did the policy of recruiting middle-aged laborers from all over the country come into being with favorable conditions. Whether you understand it or not, it is the general trend. loan.

But is it possible to make cats not eat fishy?Even if he is willing to make an exception, the dozens of younger brothers under him will not be willing.The Youjia Gang is still far from dominating the refugee area. There is no way to support people here, and the younger brothers will naturally not hang themselves from a tree.Didn't the ancients say that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

But it's different from the past. Now, not only can't make things big and take the opportunity to scare the refugees to make them be more honest, but also try to minimize the impact. It's best to say hello to the security team in charge of this refugee area in advance.Only if they are willing to cooperate, can they eat meat without getting fishy.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, it's not the first time for the brothers to unload the goods. The subordinates are sure... Come here... Fourth brother, please..." Biaozi nodded and bowed quickly, expressing that he not only understood but also understood. Immediately a tricycle drove over from the shadow of the building.

"Listen well, I'm afraid that today's goods will be a little troublesome, so get them all ready. Listen to my orders when the time comes, and anyone who doesn't listen to my instructions and breaks things will go down the river to dig mud! Let's go!"

As soon as the tricycle was less than ten meters away, Biaozi's waist straightened up immediately, and he stopped carrying his back. The smile on his face instantly changed to a straight line of meat, and he reprimanded his opponent arrogantly.

It wasn't until the breath was exhausted that he stepped on the bicycle and chased the tricycle.The dozen or so middle-aged men who stayed in the same place also rode their bicycles one after another, getting on the back seat and following behind like a swarm.

"Someone is going to be unlucky again, these goddamn bastards! Alas... unlucky!" There is a wonton stall under a street lamp across the street, and the stall owner is a middle-aged woman.She didn't dare to raise her head when You Sihai and his group were around, and she didn't murmur until they were far away.

Looking up at the sky, he let out a long sigh and reluctantly prepared to close the stall.Today's business is not satisfactory, the weather is hot and it may rain, it is better to go back early to prepare for tomorrow's food than to waste here.

As for who is going to be unlucky, I don't care.This group of people is one of several gangs in the ghetto. It is not a day or two to forcefully buy and sell in the name of a labor service company. There are almost no refugees who have not suffered.

It's not that no one dared to resist, but the arms couldn't twist the thighs.They have a large number of people, and they are inextricably linked with the security team.Whether it's an open fight or a secret fight, it's not something ordinary refugees can handle.

Even if someone is killed, the security team will not intervene unless they can really find evidence.But anyone who has offended them will be retaliated sooner or later.Where can I find evidence? These days, it is easier to kill a few people than to hunt hares. If you just find a ruin, no one will know if it is rotten to the bone.

After a long time, everyone will become numb. Fortunately, the security team sent by the alliance is not all for show. With this powerful organization stationed, those people will not dare to pretend to be a party to bully the market.

It is nothing more than collecting some protection fees, monopolizing most of the temporary job opportunities, and then selling them at high prices to refugees who are in urgent need of work.As long as life can go on, generally no one will be serious with these desperadoes.

In fact, the security team stationed by the alliance is well aware of this situation, but it is not easy to manage it and is too lazy to manage it.On weekdays, we just pass by with our eyes closed, and those who don't have long eyes and hit the muzzle of the gun will be punished according to law.

"This place is much bigger than Yining City, and there are more people, including many women!"

"You fucking know how to look at a woman, and sooner or later you will die on the woman's belly!"

"It doesn't matter where I die, don't just talk about me, let me ask you, have you ever seen a woman like that? Stupid thing, you're still a child!"

Just as the hostess of the wonton stall closed the stall, a group of people about a kilometer to the west also entered the temporary home.Although the houses in this area seemed to be temporary construction sheds, which were relatively simple, it did not affect their emotions at all, and they were talking and laughing.

This group of people is Brother Shu and his brothers. The old man who drove the car predicted very accurately that it was indeed completely dark when they arrived.Boss Lu said that he was looking for a relationship to finalize the matter of finding a job tomorrow, and left in a hurry after asking everyone to wait in the designated empty work shed.

"Don't think about women for now, water snake, lazy dog, and fat sheep, you three go around and familiarize yourself with the terrain. Tiger, pony, and skinny monkey, take out the guys and divide them up. Each of you has a gun and two magazines. Leave the rest to the scalpers and stupid pigs to find a place to hide first!"

But Brother Shu has never smiled since Boss Lu left. He climbed up to the rickety roof without saying a word, and held something like a binoculars to watch it for more than ten minutes. The order came.

"Brother Shu, didn't you say that you want to pretend to be a grandson when you come here? I'm afraid you won't be able to hide the gunfire!" This order made the eight big men who were very interested in fighting and fighting suddenly silent. , You look at me, I look at you, in the end it was the strong man named Tiger who raised his head and asked a question.

"Pretending to be a grandson is not really a grandson. If someone wants to treat us like a persimmon, are you also willing to pretend to be a grandson?" Brother Shu squatted on the roof and was reluctant to put down the binoculars, as if he could see the big girl inside bath.

"...The surname Lu didn't hold his fart?!" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay again, and it was Tiger who thought of something first, and his face darkened immediately.

Chapter 607: Snakes and Rats Are Not a Nest 2

"It's very possible that the old man driving the car just reminded me twice, he hesitated to speak every time. Apart from us, the only person surnamed Lu in the car was an outsider, and the old man had to guard against him. "Brother Shu finally put down the binoculars, but he didn't intend to come down from the roof yet.

"If he wants to rob us halfway, it would be more appropriate..." Tiger thought about it hard, but he didn't recall what the old man driving the car had hinted in words.He was sitting next to him at the time and overheard most of the conversation, if not impossible.

Although this shanty town does not have as many street lights and population as the east side, it does not look too desolate. There are obviously people living in less than half of the rooms. There are still people wearing black clothes, red armbands and pistols in the place coming down from the main road. People, inferences from common sense are not very logical.

"We are newcomers, and it pays to be extra careful... Stupid pig, find a suitable position with a long gun and stare at it. I just need to raise my hand and touch the back of my head to shoot. Scalper, there should be no one in the west, find a ruin and keep things tight." Point. Don’t try to save trouble, that’s our life-saving guy, and even if you can’t get it for a short time, you can’t let others take advantage of it.” Brother Shu didn’t say that Tiger’s deduction was wrong, but he still insisted on his decision. He raised his binoculars and looked around.

"Okay... Got it..." Immediately, two people entered the shed in response.

"Why are you standing there, move quickly! Brother Shu, when the Lu guy comes, let me come forward, and you can lead the brothers to raid the formation." Tiger didn't question any more, and waved his hands at the remaining people. He drove everyone into the shed, but he stayed outside, raising his head and whispering suggestions above.

"I said Populus euphratica, why are you getting more and more ink-stained. I haven't seen any big storms, don't think that it won't work when you arrive in the capital. Compared with other places, this is my home!" Brother Shu put down the binoculars again, his tone become impatient.

"Oh...you still said that Xinjiang Province is your home..." After being trained, the tiger felt at ease, and ducked into the shed.But his mouth was not idle, he was still muttering.

It's no wonder that he talks a lot. In the past six months, no matter where he went, Brother Shu always said it was his home.Although every trouble he encountered was resolved smoothly, and he basically didn't suffer much, but he knew in his heart that the man on the roof was used to running the train with his mouth full, so he must not believe everything, especially about the topic of home.

Populus euphratica, does this name sound familiar?It's not the same name, nor is it a homonym. That's right, the stout man called Tiger was the one who killed the backbone of the Silver Wolf Gang with Hong Tao in Licheng, met again in Sailimu Lake, and finally brought mortars and shells into the The little gold digger leader at Redeemer Base.

The ox, the water snake, the pony, the fat sheep, the thin monkey, the lazy dog, and the stupid pig are all gold diggers under his command. Now that they are all here, then Yuluo...or Hong Tao should show up too?

It must be, Brother Shu squatting on the roof is Hong Tao.Hu Yang and the others insisted on setting him up as the leading brother, so he must have a name.So he asked about their ages, and found that there was no one with the same age, and no one with the same zodiac sign, so he simply used the twelve zodiac signs as nicknames, which was easier to remember.

About half a year ago, Populus euphratica held a banquet according to the pre-plan and killed the adjudicator of Sailimu Lake. At the pre-arranged location, he waited for Hong Tao, who was making a fuss at the headquarters of the Redeemer, and headed east together.

First, I went to a city called Fukang, where I saw Hong Tao's small warehouse.Facing boxes of weapons and ammunition and canned dry food for military use, the gold prospector, who was still a little guilty, immediately fell in admiration. He no longer suspected that this powerful man was bragging, and made up his mind to follow him to the East Asian Alliance.

In order to avoid the border guards set up by the Redeemer in the Hami area, the nine people first went to find a few camels nearby, loaded as many weapons, ammunition and food supplies as they could, and followed Hong Tao to the Gobi desert in the east.After going through untold hardships, I arrived at JYG City after a long circle along the Sino-Mongolian border.

Originally, I planned to take the oil train here and continue eastward, but I didn't expect to be arrested by the soldiers of the East Asian Alliance as soon as I approached the station, and I couldn't help but throw them all to the nearby airport to work as laborers.It’s okay to have enough food and clothing, and the daily workload is not too great, but they are not allowed to leave, and the airport must be remodeled.

Don't look at Hong Tao's bastard, he didn't recognize his relatives, but he was intimidated in the face of the regular army of the East Asian Alliance, and he took Populus euphratica and the others to become coolies honestly.

According to his explanation, killing the Sabine Redeemer would definitely not agree, and he would not be able to go back to the west. If he wanted to kill the soldiers of the East Asian Alliance, he would really become a stray dog. For future considerations, he could only bear with it.

It can't be said that this is completely wrong, but Hong Tao still has a little thought. He wants to pay close attention to what the East Asian Alliance wants to do in such a hurry to repair the airport, and whether it has something to do with attacking the Redeemer.

Sure enough, the main force repairing the airport was not the refugees, but the regular army, or engineers, from the East Asian Alliance.Hong Tao only got close to these soldiers for two days, and he knew where they probably came from, the branch base in Chang'an!

As for whether there is going to be a war, the answer is basically clear at a glance just by looking at the large trucks and heavily armed soldiers coming from the station from time to time.

But before the airport was repaired, the situation changed 180 degrees. The regular army of the East Asian Alliance gathered nearby was decreasing day by day, and the number of engineering troops was no longer increasing. It seemed that no one was rushing the progress of the project.

After many inquiries, Hong Tao's guess was confirmed. The East Asian Alliance suspended its planned military operations against the Redeemer, and instead participated in the peace talks between the Redeemer and the rebels as a neutral party.

Now Hong Tao felt relieved, it seemed that Sun Dacheng didn't say one thing and did another, no matter whether he was pretending or not, he also fulfilled part of the promises as agreed, so he didn't have to find a way to go back and do another beheading operation.

I worked at the airport for three full months, and that's where I met Lu Wei'an.This guy claimed to be a salesman of Youlong Labor Service Company. He not only recruited workers with the recruitment advertisement of the East Asian Union, but also hinted that there was a strong relationship so that he could pass the inspection without inspection.

Originally, Hong Tao didn't believe it, and he didn't need others to help introduce him to the job, but he couldn't help but be tempted after hearing that he was exempt from inspection and customs clearance.People are easy to handle, but what about weapons and ammunition?Even if you go back to a familiar place without any weapons, you still feel guilty. If you can really bring it in and pay some money, it's worth it.
