In fact, the surname Xu underestimated Hong Tao's height. He took advantage of him to bend over and stood on tiptoe to see not only the upper body, but also the lower body, and then he was relieved.Compared with Zhou Yuan, it can only be regarded as mediocre, and it is not troublesome at all.
"Will the herdsman use a pistol with a silencer?" Representative Xu was extremely curious about this guy who called himself a herdsman, but he didn't show it out of professionalism.
He deliberately blocked it with his cloak while undressing, and stuffed some things into the sheepskin pouch, but the pistol did not escape his eyes, and then he became more curious, and even began to wonder if it was a counterattack sent by the Redeemer. intelligence personnel.
"It's a Russian pistol. It's very powerful and has a lot of ammunition. They were brought in by the Russian survivors. You know that when searching in the ruins, a silencer can save lives. I paid a lot of money. I just got one, and it's nothing compared to my life."
Peeking and chatting didn't slow down Hong Tao's dressing speed, he really needed to avoid being found out about his secrets, such as tactical vests, automatic rifles, grenades and that HK45 pistol.As for this Russian-made pistol, let's take a closer look.
"Won't you take off your snow goggles at any time?" Representative Xu could only say that he couldn't find fault with this answer, but he didn't believe it 100%.This man was so good at nonsense that he, who had been trained in this field, couldn't figure out whether what he said was true or not.
"My eyes have been stabbed by snow blindness, and I can't see strong light. Do you know how much the snow on the snow-capped mountains reflects sunlight? Especially in summer, it's like being in the middle of a sun panel. If you don't pay attention, you will Burnt. Oh yes, if you have a chance, you must go to the snow mountain to see it, summer, it must be summer, it is beautiful!"
Not only is Hong Tao's nonsense kung fu first-rate, but his crooked building skills are also top-notch. He can draw people into his thoughts for a long time without being able to get out of them.Unless he turns his face, in that case he will not chat with you, and will replace it with bullets and knives.
Chapter 470 Wizard 3
The three of them hurriedly dressed and continued to walk west by north along the highway.The road Hong Tao mentioned was one of the routes he planned when he drove through Lop Nur with the rich man's daughter in his previous life. Although he didn't use it in the end, he still had a general impression.
This road starts from TMG City, inserts obliquely southwestward into the north side of the Tarim Basin, passes through LT County, and finally arrives at the small town of Dunkuotan, which is tens of kilometers south of KC City.
It was originally built to transport oil from the Donghe Oilfield. After the northerly spit and high-speed, few people left except for the carts in the oilfield and some off-road enthusiasts.Oh yes, some people will drive along this road to the south of Luntai, and then there will be the famous desert road.
In any case, Hong Tao felt that the Redeemer did not have so many manpower to block dozens or even hundreds of kilometers in the Gobi environment, and Kuqa should be bypassed from this road.
After sending these two people away, I will go north from Kuqa and enter the southern section of the Duku Highway. If the mountain collapses or the avalanche is not avalanche, I will go if there is a road, or climb the mountain if there is no road. I can return there within the estimated time. Ratti.
Look, what a good thing to have the best of both worlds, not delaying my exploration of southern borders, but also giving the rebels a big favor in vain.When one day I really come to southern Xinjiang, after meeting, I will never arrest the spies who regard myself as the savior.
You can fight as you want between the two forces, and we will not get involved.In the future, if one day the East Asian Alliance really makes a big attack, I will take the Crimean couple to set up camp and go to the same picturesque Kanas Lake to continue grazing.
If it doesn't work, just cross the Altai Mountains and enter Russia. There are also good places with rich water and grass, beautiful scenery, and mountains and rivers.
"What are you doing?" After walking for about an hour, Hong Tao gradually fell behind, bending over from time to time to pick something in the thick dust.This made Representative Xu very alert. Is it so blatant to mark the pursuers?
"Make an alarm. If someone chases us from behind, we will be able to hear it from a long distance." Hong Tao didn't feel that his actions were suspicious at all, and he explained it justly.
"Hey... hey, don't step on it, your feet will be blown off!" What I didn't expect was that Representative Xu's character was not only tenacious, but also two hundred and five. She ran back, crawled on the ground and looked carefully .Hong Tao was so frightened that he wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to approach.
"...Mr. Cao, the herdsmen in Xinjiang really opened my eyes. They are actually equipped with anti-personnel mines. I think they are used to protect the sheep!"
There was no explosion, and Representative Xu obviously knew this well. He crawled on the ground and took a few glances before leaving. He and the man in glasses praised the outstanding people in his hometown with a smile on his face.
"Earth, mine!" The man with glasses acted petty, his glasses almost fell off the bridge of his nose, blinking his eyes hard, trying to give Hong Tao an X-ray scan of his whole body.
"When I bought the pistol, I got it as a gift from the old man, and I have never been willing to use it. Representative Xu should be able to recognize them. They are all Russian-made butterfly mines. They don't have much power. They just listen to reports and letters." Hong Tao replied so freely, As if she was talking about buying cigarettes, the proprietress thought she was handsome, so she gave a few extra lighters.
"You, who are you!" It's a pity that the man with glasses doesn't have the bearing of Representative Xu, nor does he believe Hong Tao's nonsense.
"It doesn't matter who I am. If I want to catch the two of you crossing the river, I will do it. If I am afraid that I will find out the location of your accomplices, then we will break up after arriving in Kuqa. In fact, I don't want to go any further. There is absolutely no need for the three of us to find out the details of each other, we should just be the companions we meet on the road, and we can overcome difficulties and obstacles together, okay?"
Hong Tao knew that doing good deeds would be particularly troublesome. He was always suspected of his motives first and then his ability, and what he got in the end might not be all thanks.But he has this addiction. When he is alone, he still pretends to be the righteous Yuro.
But it is still necessary to avoid revealing too much identity, resolutely not to say what can not be said, and resolutely not to say what can not be used.Those butterfly mines are really necessary, otherwise I don't know if anyone is catching up behind me.If you really wait to see a team of horses or motorcycles on the vast Gobi, it will be too late to say anything.
"Compare……"
"Bice!"
"Oh, Big Brother, we are not going to investigate your identity, but some things will inevitably make people curious. Mr. Cao should just be a little curious. We have already negotiated the conditions before, and you are the master on the way, just leave as soon as you say." , stop as you say. Curiosity does not prevent us from being friends, and you can also ask us some questions."
Seeing Hong Tao was a little impatient, but Representative Xu was quite good at smoothing things over, and wanted to trick Hong Tao into learning more about the situation by means of exchange.In fact, even if she revealed all the top-secret documents of the East Asian Union, there would be no loss. Who would Hong Tao tell, and who would believe it?It's a small calculation, and it's a bit like Lin Na.
"I don't have much curiosity, so use your strength on your legs and walk faster!" Of course Hong Tao would not be fooled by this, so he stopped talking.But what he said was very good, but he was hesitant to speed up on his legs, and he had to wait for the other two to go ahead before leading the horse to follow.
When he just passed Korla, Hong Tao didn't feel that the southern border had changed much. At most, there was a little more green along the way, but the Gobi was still a Gobi, with a little wind and dust flying all over the sky.
But the more we went west, the more weird the scenery became. When we crossed the river, it was about 9:3 in the morning, and at about 40:[-] in the afternoon, we finally saw a piece of city ruins.Judging from the number of zombies wandering in the ruins, it should not have been cleaned up.In this short distance of more than [-] kilometers, the terrain along the way has undergone tremendous changes.
The most direct feeling is that there is a lot of water. This road is close to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the nearest place is less than half a kilometer.Originally, the right side should be the endless bald mountains, but now there is a small stream or river not far away.
The melted snow water from the mountains rushes along these gullies and rushes across the roadbed, happily flowing to the other side.As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Where do all these trickles go? Please look to the left.
The left side of the road should have been farmland and orchards, and a little farther away was the Gobi Desert.now what?The farmland has become an endless vegetation that is as tall as a person, including corn and sorghum, but most of them cannot be recognized by Hong Tao, and the heights are scattered and very lush.
The Gobi Desert farther away is about to disappear, but is divided into wetlands and swamps by puddles of water.Now Hong Tao finally knows what the lush plants growing on the roadside are, reeds!Most of the original farmland has been turned into reed marshes on the periphery of the wetland.
The intersection leading to the Donghe Oilfield is still there, but as far as the eye can see, there are piles of reeds in the east and west, and puddles of different sizes. It is difficult to find if you don’t search deliberately.
In order to make it harder for others to find out, Hong Tao also took out pliers and removed the road sign.In fact, it doesn't take much effort to dismantle it or not. The paint on the metal sign has fallen off, let alone the writing.
After arriving here, Hong Tao decided to take a rest. The scenery is rich, but the road is definitely not easy to walk. It is necessary to eat something to build up energy.
Representative Xu's physical strength is really good. She walked for several hours at a relatively fast speed. Apart from being a little tired, she didn't cry out that she was tired, and she didn't have any leg or foot pain. Obviously, she had undergone rigorous training.
"Those trees don't grow naturally, do they?" But she still showed some girls' curiosity about the scenery in front of her. She would pick a few wild flowers if she had nothing to do, and would not hesitate to ask about plants she didn't know. outing.
"It should be a pear tree. The Korla fragrant pear is very famous in the old world. There should be many pear trees planted in this area, but most of them were drowned. It's a pity that we came at the wrong time. We could see it a few months earlier. Slices of pear blossoms, pears can be eaten in another month!"
The man with glasses didn't seem to know where the woods came from, so he turned his gaze to this side.Hong Tao naturally did his part, this is not a big question, as long as people who have been in the old world, even if they don't know pear trees, they can't forget the sweet and juicy pears.
"Oh, let me tell you that I remembered it. I ate it when I was a child... Unfortunately, I forgot the taste. I really want to try the pomegranate from my hometown again... Mr. Cao, are there still many pomegranate trees in KS?"
The memory of delicious food in childhood is always deep, and many of them can accompany people's life.Representative Xu is no exception. Although she left here at a very young age, her memory of the delicious food is still there.
"Much, squeeze a cup of pomegranate juice and chill it in a deep well for a few hours. It is the most delicious drink in summer. There is also yogurt with crushed ice and honey." The man in glasses was also infected by this emotion, with a slight smile on his face smiling, reminiscing about his favorite delicacies together.
"Yes, there are also yogurt, belly meat, pot meat, baked buns..." Speaking of eating, Representative Xu finally showed the vigor she should have at her age, and counted the tastes she remembered with her fingers. Even with black gauze and goggles, it couldn't hide her joy.
Hong Tao also laughed, Xinjiang Province is a large agricultural province, especially rich in dried fruits and fruits.Not to mention cantaloupe and raisins, which are famous all over the country, such as Korla pear, Turkes apple, Kuqa white apricot, KS pomegranate, Shache badan wood, Yecheng walnut, Hotan jujube, AKS thin-skinned walnut ...They are all excellent local specialties, and the output is not very high. Even if they leave the local area, they are probably counterfeit.
"Hush..." But he closed his mouth with a smile, stood up suddenly and made a silent movement, turned his head to the east and put his hands on his ears.
"..." Seeing Hong Tao's expression, the glasses man and Representative Xu immediately became serious. They didn't hear any unusual noises, but they could probably guess what was making the sound, mines!
Chapter 471 Lieutenant Wacker
"Well, don't rest, you go first, and you can go around the south of Kuqa by walking along this road. Remember, don't leave the roadbed, even if it is a puddle, you have to wade through it. If possible, Just find a wooden stick and poke the ground in front of you."
"This kind of terrain will definitely have a lot of mosquitoes. Wrap your clothes tightly and try to expose your skin as little as possible. Don't light a fire at night, and cut more reed leaves as bedding. This bag is sheepskin, and it can be placed under the body to prevent cold and moisture. Remember. , must take turns to sleep, the idea is to guard against poisonous snakes!"
"I can only send it here. If we go together, no one will be able to leave. I will continue to go west along the main road, trying to delay as much time as possible. Remember, my name is Biges, and I will come to southern Xinjiang in the future , Tell your people, don’t shoot me when you see me.”
Did a land mine explode?People stepped on or animals touched?Hong Tao was really not sure.He just heard one or two slight popping noises in the wind, and based on the principle of believing it or not, the preparations that should be made still need to be done.
The first thing is to get rid of the burden. Yes, anyone around me is a trouble, which seriously affects my performance.The second is to explain clearly the survival skills in the wild that you know, don't let the swamp and mosquitoes eat you without being killed by the redeemer, then your favor will be given away in vain.
Seeing the man with glasses and representative Xu stepping back into the reed marsh, he went to the side of the road and picked up a few reed seedlings at random, and slapped them hard on the road.Shot off the footprints of the two people, then backed up while slapping, rode on the horse and continued to trot westward along the main road.
"Are we really going to do what he said?" The man with glasses stopped when he heard the sound of the horse's hoofs going away. Although he couldn't see the outside situation in the reed marsh, he became even more disturbed.
"Mr. Cao, don't worry, if he is a redeemer, you don't need to make such a trouble... Let's go, Bizes, I hope to see him again in the future!" Representative Xu seemed to understand what Hong Tao was going to do, and his tone was a bit complicated.
In fact, if Hong Tao really ran away, it would not be a bad thing for the two of them, at least it could divert the pursuers far away.This is the difference between those who have received professional training and those who have not. The level of understanding of many things is different.
Ilya Waker has black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and a standard Mongolian face.He was born in Gorno-Altaysk, the capital of the Altai Republic in the Siberian Federal District of Russia.
He enlisted in the Russian Army at the age of 18, and now at the age of 38, he has served in the Second Guard Red Banner Army of the Central Military Region for 10 years, with the rank of lieutenant.Before the outbreak of the zombie disease, he and his company were stationed in three outposts on the Sino-Russian border.
After the zombie disease broke out, he decisively killed dozens of zombies in the outpost camp, and went to two other outposts with guns and ammunition.Hard work paid off, and finally met a surviving soldier, Moroz.
After the two discussed it, there was enough ammunition in the garrison and there was no shortage of food and drink, so why not just stop running around and find out what happened outside.After searching for a long time with the military radio, I finally found a living person. The two sides chatted, hey, it's not too far away, it's a major of a border guard nearby.
After that, the three formed a survivor group according to their military ranks. While improving the defense of the station, they actively searched nearby villages and towns.More and more survivors were found. In less than half a year, more than 20 people were gathered together, and they joined the World Survivors Alliance.
But after fully knowing the scale of the outbreak of the zombie disease, they had to worry about the future.The Altai Republic has only about 20 people, but its area is about the same size as Jiangsu Province. The real land is sparsely populated, and it is impossible to develop with only 20 people.
However, the entire Siberian Federal Control Zone has a population of just over 1000 million, distributed in a vast area of more than 400 million square kilometers, which is almost half of China, and the transportation is not very convenient.
The nearest group of survivors is more than 1500 kilometers away. If they want to go to Moscow, where there are more survivors, they will not only have to cross the Ural Mountains, but also have to travel a minimum of 4000 kilometers. It is too far to quench their thirst.
Looking south, it is only 700 kilometers away from Wushi, the capital of China's Xinjiang Province. There are more than 400 million people there. If you count the nearby villages and towns, it will be tens of millions.
You don't need too much data support, and you don't need much forward-looking analysis. As long as your IQ is not too low, you should know that it is more promising to develop there.Although there are more zombies in places with more population, there are more survivors in places with more population.
For unambitious survivors, living a small life in a remote place is the best choice, but for survivors with any ideas, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to reshuffle all human beings, you will be afraid Will be depressed to death.
Lieutenant Wacker and the major named Sabine belonged to the latter type of people. They always felt that they were special figures, and they had not climbed to high positions because they were fettered by a huge bureaucratic system before.Now that the opportunity has come, we must not let it go.
At that time, Hong Tao called on survivors around the world to stay away from nuclear power plants, and the groups tried to merge together to expand their scale. The two of them got in touch with the Chinese survivors' group in Urumqi and decided to go south!
But before that, they did other homework. They first went to neighboring Kazakhstan, met with two local groups of survivors who had been in contact with each other but did not understand English, and then went to Urumqi together.
In this way, there are more than 60 people, as well as many standard weapons and sufficient ammunition.With a large number of people and excellent weapons, no matter where you go, you will not suffer too much.
This step can be said to be the right one. After arriving in Urumqi, their group quickly became the main force in the battle, and then they met the scheming Han Zhang Bin.The two sides have gotten closer and closer in several exchanges, and their ideas have also become closer and closer. It feels a bit like a wolf meeting a fox.
The most wonderful cooperation was after entering the Yining base, the two groups of them were in the open and the other in the dark, making full use of the differences in religious beliefs and ethnicities among the survivors, and successfully defeated the Han group in power, Finally sat on the throne of the leader and completely controlled a large group of thousands of people.
But in the distribution of rights afterwards, Lieutenant Wacker was not very satisfied.Zhang Bin became the bishop, and Sabin became the commander-in-chief, but because he had to take care of the leaders of the other two forces, he had to condescend to the position of the fifth in command, and only got the position of vice president of the Penance Society.
However, this position is quite suitable for him. He is in charge of the adjudication team of the powerful department of the Ascetic Order, and he has a lot of power.This secret organization is directly under the bishop's orders, and even Sabine can't intervene in some issues.
Speaking of the Judgment Team, it is a bit like the secret police of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for cleaning up people who are harmful to the Redeemer. The biggest enemy is the traitor.
These guys didn't run away after they were defeated and escaped. They just crossed the Tianshan Mountains and went to the southern border.
To be honest, although they had the advantage in terms of equipment supplies and numbers, the Judgment Team didn't take much advantage in these years of confrontation.Those guys took full advantage of the complex terrain in southern Xinjiang, they acted like ghosts and ghosts, and they shot a shot to change places, always exhausting themselves and putting out fires everywhere.
Moreover, there are many sympathizers of the Rebel Army among the Redeemers. They have known each other before, but they often turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and even provide information for the Rebel Army.
However, this situation has changed since half a year ago. His Excellency has received great assistance from the Southwest Alliance through diplomatic means.With this relationship, the channel for the rebel army to communicate with the outside world via Qinghai was completely cut off, and its strength was severely weakened.
After the Southwest Alliance dispatched gunmen to harass Ruoqiang at the Bishop's request, the Judgment Team immediately launched an attack on Kuqa, the gateway to southern Xinjiang.
After several months of tug-of-war, the rebels, who were short of supplies, were finally dragged down by the two-front battle. Not only did they lose Ruoqiang, but even Kuqa could not be kept.
As a result, their activity space was compressed to the central and southern parts of southern Xinjiang, and they no longer had the ability to penetrate into northern Xinjiang through Kuqa and Korla.After losing these two important channels, they will not be able to receive effective supplies and will become weaker and weaker.
Chapter 472 Chase!
In the spring of next year, the adjudication team will use Kuqa as a base to go deep into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang and gradually find out the road conditions.At that time, it will be the end of the rebels. Getting rid of this confidant will not only allow the Redeemer to become the only force in the Xinjiang Province, but also consolidate their position and move one step closer to the throne of the head of the Ascetic Order.
But just over half a month ago, news came from the Southwest Alliance that a group of rebels broke through their blockade near Ruoqiang and headed north.At this time, the delegation of the East Asian Alliance also entered Xinjiang Province.
What did the rebels want to do after paying such a high price to cross the blockade?The bishop convened a special meeting for this matter, and finally came to a conclusion after the clues provided by all parties, that the rebels probably went to contact the secret representative of the East Asian Alliance.
As for why the East Asian Alliance sent a formal delegation to negotiate with the Redeemer, and at the same time secretly sent personnel to hook up with the rebels, this is nothing new.
The former Northwest Alliance and the Four Provinces Alliance all suffered losses in this regard and led to the destruction of the regiment. The bishop said that there is a very old trick in China called Mingxiu Plank Road and Dark Chencang.
If the East Asian Alliance and the rebels are really connected and gain initial trust, then things will be a little tricky.The East Asian Alliance has relatively abundant material reserves, and any support point can bring the rebels who are in a weak state back to life.
Although losing Ruoqiang, an important external channel, the rebels can no longer obtain external support through land, but don't forget that the most powerful and best at the East Asian Alliance is the air force.
A few years ago, the Redeemer spent great efforts to destroy the airports west of Hami and Dunhuang. After so many years of wind and sand, they will definitely not be found.However, the East Asian Alliance does have an airport in Dunhuang. Taking off from there will not threaten Yining, but it can go to the area between Korla and Ruoqiang for airdrops.
As long as the rebels and the East Asian Alliance reach an agreement, they will be able to receive airdrop supplies through this vast, barren and inhabited area.Neither the Redeemer nor the Southwest Alliance has enough manpower to seal off deserts, Gobi, swamps, and wetlands that are hundreds of kilometers wide.
When the combat effectiveness of the rebels recovers, it will be a time bomb. Once the East Asian Alliance really launches a large-scale attack on the Xinjiang Province, these blasphemous traitors will immediately become leaders and saboteurs, putting the Redeemer in a disadvantageous situation.
For this reason, intercepting the traitors at all costs and the secret representatives of the East Asian Alliance who may have arrived is the current top priority of the Judgment Team.
Coincidentally, when he arrived at Barentai with the elite ascetic monks of the Judgment Team, and was about to deploy a tight net in person, the secret agent in Tashkent sent news: he found a rebel team dressed as refugees, A total of 5 people, at least 1 of whom is suspected to be a woman.
When Waker got the news, he was furious, and immediately requisitioned the fuel of the Barentai garrison, and rushed to Tashkent with 30 adjudicators against the clock.
"Since it was discovered last night, why didn't it report until noon!"
After seeing the secret agent of the ascetic society who was dressed as an innkeeper, and learned that the group had passed the Peacock River and went down the river in the morning, Vakerchuk made a big mouth, and then pulled out a pistol and put it on the opponent's forehead.If there is no reasonable explanation, there is no need to keep this waste.
"Master President, I sent someone to call for reinforcements on horseback at Barental Terrace last night, but I didn't see any reinforcements until noon. Fortunately, the patrol team just stopped here, and I used their radio to get in touch with the Barental Terrace garrison. Only then did I realize that the person sent out never arrived!"
The corner of the innkeeper's mouth was already bleeding, but he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands. He suppressed his fear and spoke clearly about the cause and effect at the fastest speed, hoping to be treated leniently.
The vice president has a nickname in the Penance Church, Saber.It's not to praise him for his good sword skills, but to imply that he is like the Mongolian army that marched west, ruthless and slaughtering cities and villages at every turn.
"Replenish at the spot, prepare enough drinking water, and set off in 5 minutes! Give him a motorcycle, and he can live if he catches someone, and don't come back if he can't be caught!"
Waker moved his index finger, but in the end he didn't pull the trigger, but he didn't spare the innkeeper either.After all this tossing, the role of the secret agent has been lost, but it can't be wasted, just go as a guide and cannon fodder.
"...Yes, my lord!" The innkeeper's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knew how dangerous it is to hunt down rebels, but he could only obey.
Those rebels are madmen who would rather die than surrender.Those who have not undergone any strict military training like myself, and who are older, are free. The only function is to give bullets to others.
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good. In fact, this sentence is sometimes wrong.For example, the current hotel owner, when he knew that his death was approaching, his mind was still thinking about how to harm others.
Riding a motorcycle into southern Xinjiang cannot be said to be impossible, but it is not the most suitable.The best means of transport is camels, followed by horses, then bicycles, and finally vehicles.
But he didn't say a word, and let the evil-looking vice president and the dozens of adjudicators work hard.Apart from the grievances in my heart, the main reason is that I am afraid that the problem will not be solved, and I will talk loudly... There are neither camels nor enough horses here!
In fact, the first problem is not the type of transportation, but how motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and people cross the river.
