Even if I don't know anything about airplanes, I can tell their age. This face is by no means a modern product.If you want to fly a plane, you can do it. Falcon is pretty good. If you don’t like it, there are smaller and bigger ones, just choose!

"Long hair but short knowledge...Compared to the two of them, most planes are rubbish! Come on, don't just stand and watch, help untie the sheet!" Hong Tao first chose an unmodified passenger plane and directed Zhou Yuan get to work.

"Bah, bah, bah... What kind of shit is this, can you tell me what's going on!"

Zhou Yuan was not very satisfied at first, and was forced to get those tarpaulins covered with dust, but she immediately lost her temper, and stared at Dan Fengyan with her hands on her hips, waiting for the answer.If the explanation is reasonable, I can help, but if it is unreasonable... I'm sorry, I won't serve you anymore.

"...to put it simply, they burn gasoline, and most of the modern planes you see burn aviation kerosene. There are not many reserves of this kind of fuel, and it is difficult to store it for a long time."

"Several European pilots who came this time talked to me about this issue. Their suggestion is to try not to use turboprop or turbojet engines after two years. Once the air stops due to oil deterioration, it is basically dead."

"The safest way is to use a piston engine. This kind of aircraft is usually very old. Don't look old, as long as it is maintained properly, it is quite safe. Their engines were designed without considering the improvement of fuel standards in later generations. As long as they are regular Gasoline is basically usable.”

Zhou Yuan's request was not too much, and Hong Tao didn't need to deliberately conceal it. It wasn't a big secret, it was just common sense within the industry.But I won’t talk about the specific parameters, it’s all in vernacular and it’s easier to understand.

"There are still so many twists and turns... Then you plan to live by airplane in the future?" Zhou Yuan understood, and did not get entangled in technical details, but cared about Hong Tao's future plans.This is also her own future path, if Hong Tao wants to leave, she will definitely follow.

"According to this year's trend, it will not be easy to rely on roads and railways for transportation between various places in the future. The easiest and safest way to travel long distances is it. If you can't resist the attack of zombies, the safest place may be the island , with an airplane, you can run faster." Hong Tao didn't have too many details about the future plan, but just set a general direction.

"Okay... get to work!" Zhou Yuan nodded after listening to it, thinking about it in her heart, and felt that what this man said was very reliable.

If this trend continues, no expressway or high-speed rail will be able to withstand floods, earthquakes, and heavy snowfall, and the only way to escape is by airplane.Since it is the only hope, then I will not be too dirty or tired, and my whole body will be full of strength.

Chapter 393 Supervising Team

Hong Tao didn't return to the Ditan Base until after five in the afternoon, and Zhou Yuan, who hadn't shown much, came with him in the same car.The sudden appearance of this woman in the base should have caused a lot of people to be nervous, but this time it didn't. The bigger threat kept everyone busy, and no one was in the mood to think about anything else.

"Gendarmerie is very necessary. Your dozens of people alone may not be enough. Let's count the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Groups of five are divided into ten groups, and they are arranged in key areas. They also have to participate in the battle, and at the same time take on the task of monitoring deserters. !"

When Hong Tao announced that Zhou Yuan and more than 30 armed men under her command would serve as military police temporarily, Lin Na expressed support before anyone objected. The police also counted in.

"Alright, that's it! But Lin Na, you'd better retreat to the Huairou base first..." As soon as Zhou Yuan said this, her red phoenix eyes immediately stood up, with a sinister smile on her face.But Hong Tao didn't see it all, and arranged the work on his own.

Let Lin Na stare at Zhou Yuan, the two women feel a bit like rivals, and they both regard each other as rivals, but there is no good way to take the other, and it is easier to balance when they get together.

"My husband is..." Lin Na tried to resist, and lifted Jiao San out again.

"His safety has nothing to do with your presence or absence. On the contrary, it has a lot to do with me, so you'd better not make me anxious. Once the zombie group arrives, the medical department will have to go to the front line, and the only one who can deliver you is The few scientists in the laboratory are left. If you don’t go there, who will deliver your baby? Will Jiao Qiao know it!”

In the past, Hong Tao was usually very polite to the women in the team, especially the beautiful women, at least he would not teach them with a straight face, and he would point out mistakes as soon as possible.But now he doesn't even have this hobby anymore, and he is determined not to waste a word on things that can be explained clearly in one sentence, and his attitude is resolute and there is no room for negotiation.

"And you, first do all the things I told you, do it carefully, and then think about other things, don't worry so much all day long. By the way, after the war, you will help Chuqiu manage the communication center, and she will do it alone. Don't come here. Don't make mistakes, once the communication is interrupted, it will cause panic for everyone!"

Seeing Lin Na being scolded for no reason, Zhou Yuan's depression immediately eased, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.It's a pity that she was overjoyed a bit early, and Hong Tao's attack was immediately turned around.

The evening meeting was held very quickly, and within 10 minutes, the people in the meeting room dispersed, and the lights in the parking lot were flickering. The heads of various departments who had just finished the meeting were about to return to their respective construction sites.

That's right, there is no distinction between day and night now, and most projects have to rush to work overnight. Almost everyone in the logistics department, transportation and communication department, mechanical and electrical department, and infrastructure department has to work in two shifts. Allow a little free time.

Hong Tao also couldn't be idle, he had to go to Sanjianfang Airport overnight, and heard that the two armed helicopters there were not in good condition, they had been parked for a long time, and the fuel tank and the oil circuit had not been emptied, the glue after the fuel had deteriorated The substance blocked the oil line.

If it cannot be cleaned, it can only be disassembled, and the thermal imaging equipment on it is removed for backup, and then go to other airports to find helicopters that can take off normally.

After finishing the flight work, I had to drive a hundred kilometers overnight to Guanting Reservoir to inspect the progress of opening the gates and releasing water.I heard from Li Xiang that two gates have been raised, but I don't know if the amount of water released is enough.If it is not enough, he has to decide whether to blow up the dam or not.

"Sister, you said that if he had acted so vigorously earlier, wouldn't he not have to be afraid of zombies now?" Seeing Hong Tao talking and making gestures with two foreign pilots as he walked, Zhou Yuan stood in the corridor and started thinking about Yanger again. up.

She reluctantly accepted the task of escorting Lin Na to the Huairou base, and she had to help the pregnant woman down the stairs slowly like a little maid. She definitely wouldn't feel very comfortable, and this account was on Hong Tao's head again.

"If it had been like this earlier, you and I might be jealous in the harem now... Where did he and you drive alone in the afternoon!" Lin Na enjoyed the feeling of being supported by others, walking slowly like a rich lady, even talking. His tone changed, as if he was asking a servant.

"Okay, even dare to put eyeliner by my side...Cut, the two of us went to the mountains to enjoy the red leaves, so I don't bother you to care about the details. If you want to know, you can ask him. I can ask him about some things. Can't say..."

Hearing this question, Zhou Yuan felt as if she had been stung by Ma Feng, gnashing her teeth and about to explode, but soon she changed into a little woman's appearance, her voice was whiny, her face was still a little blush, and she was coy.

"Bah... I still can't say it. Even if he has ideas, he won't come to you. Those Korean sisters are young, beautiful and worry-free. You can tell me the truth, otherwise your men will be sent by Jiao Qiao. The first line, go wherever the danger is! After thinking about it, I don’t have the energy to play riddles!”

If it wasn't because her stomach was too big to laugh, Lin Na would have to cover her stomach and laugh for 3 minutes.What she was most worried about was that this woman would use her beauty to capture Hong Tao, which would be of no benefit to anyone.

But after more than half a year of observation, she found that not only was she a failure in this respect, Zhou Yuan also had nothing to be proud of.As long as there is no such concern, the Ministry of Internal Affairs under his control and the field team under Jiao Qiao's control are enough to limit its development.

"...Hmph, originally he didn't let me tell. Since I have to ask, then please satisfy your humble curiosity. Did you see, this list was drawn up by the two of us together!"

Sure enough, Zhou Yuan was very angry, but no woman is willing to listen to such words, especially if it is true, it will hurt her self-confidence even more.However, she was not a little girl, so she quickly found a weapon to fight back, opened the necklace pendant and took out a small paper bag from it.

"...these are the people he asked you to monitor!" The small paper bag was folded in many layers, opened layer after layer, and finally unfolded into a palm-sized piece of paper. name.Lin Na's face became paler the more she looked at it, and her brows were furrowed.

"Hahahaha... I can't stay in the base permanently, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not under my control. What kind of surveillance? This is the assassination list he gave me. You and Jiao Qiao are also on it. It's pretty high. !"

Seeing Lin Na's puzzled, nervous and anxious appearance, Zhou Yuan smiled even more happily.But I feel that it is still not enjoyable enough, so I have to add more fire, it is best to make this woman who has been against me panic and pale, even if it is only for 1 minute, it is a victory.

"Hmph, you really take yourself seriously... If I were you, what you should do now is not to show off to others, but to quickly figure out how to run away. He is best at testing others with human nature. Think about what happened to Lu Yejiangnan back then. Bar."

"If this is the case, your ending must be even worse, because you are a woman and you have a face that is easy to seduce men. No one will say good things for you, let alone let you enter the management team!"

Lin Na definitely didn't believe it. There were more than 30 names on the list, including herself and Jiao Qiao. Most of them were the backbone of the old rescue team, and some were members of the special service team.

If Hong Tao intends to eliminate dissidents, he shouldn't even grab his eyebrows and beards. Most of the people on the list are his supporters.If it is said to eradicate power contenders, there should not be Zhong Wei, Pei sisters and Ran Di, they obviously have no desire for power.

Especially Zhang Ke, Shu Yu'er, He Wanjun and other children, the oldest of them is only in their teens, and they have such power and influence that even they want to kill them, they won't be crazy.

"Oh...it's good luck in early autumn. I met a man who is both capable and affectionate... In the afternoon he took me to a small airport and found a broken plane that was older than him. On the way back Such a list was written for me, the original manuscript has been destroyed, and I copied it myself."

Zhou Yuan didn't expect Lin Na to be fooled by this little trick, so she brought it back and folded it up and put it in a necklace pendant, and then quietly talked about the origin of the list.At this moment, she no longer had that competitive aura, and she didn't intend to provoke Lin Na any more. She looked at the empty parking lot and was a little distracted.

Chapter 394

"...You really thought about him, and even ruined the original manuscript. It's a pity that he will never realize this kind of thought!" Lin Na started to frown instead. Airport, broken plane, list, what does this mean? ?I can't figure it out for a while.

But as a woman who knows men well, she also knows women well.Zhou Yuan's inadvertent sentence revealed a lot of information. Hong Tao's handwriting doesn't need to be many, just write half a word and throw it on the street, and anyone who picks it up can recognize it immediately.

The woman destroyed the manuscript, surely not just for easy collection.And a woman who is willing to think so carefully for a man and is willing to be a scapegoat is not the same as deliberately getting close to him for profit.

"You, at best, are a shrewd mistress who racks her brains to figure out a man for her superior. He understands what I think better than anyone else, and I also know that he understands. That's enough, understand?"

Zhou Yuan didn't think Lin Na's sarcasm made any sense. She had indeed been troubled and entangled with this man in the past, but she gradually thought about it.There should be a higher level of meaning between a man and a woman besides physical needs. Of course, many people don't admit it and treat it as a joke, such as Lin Na.

"Yo Yo Yo, I'm playing Plato now..." Sure enough, Lin Na scoffed at this explanation.

"The list is full of people he is going to take with him to flee for his life. Once the base can no longer be defended, I will secretly notify these people to gather at the airport." Zhou Yuan didn't want to discuss relationship issues with Lin Na anymore, and they couldn't get through.

"... No wonder Jiao Qiao said he was a mouse spirit. It was so apt. He kept his back at all times. It seems that he really trusted you and entrusted you with such a terrible thing. But you failed His trust, are you not afraid that I will reveal it in advance and make him a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats?"

Lin Na just didn't leave, and stood there with her hands on her stomach and her head tilted, thinking hard, why did this woman tell herself such a confidential matter, is it possible that she really wants to silence her?

"I think there are some things that you should know, so that you don't feel like nothing happened afterwards. He may not care about other people's opinions, but I don't want to. As for you... If you are not afraid of Jiao Qiao being blacked out, just go and tell others, see Will they trust me, a slut who specializes in seducing men, or will they trust Director Hong, who has traveled thousands of miles to save others from fire and water?"

Zhou Yuan never thought that she should listen to others, even if this person was a man she liked, and she even disliked Hong Tao's way of doing things.However, Lin Na's threat is not valid at all, which is why she destroyed the original manuscript of the list. There is no proof!

"...Yeah, a woman is a confidant, you really did it." Even if no one threatened Jiao Qiao's life, Lin Na would not spread the story, then she would not be a fool, and cut off her own way out .But Zhou Yuan's devotion to feelings still made her feel a little bit emotional, and she really sighed in this regard.

"There is one thing that I don't quite understand. Don't you think he has changed? I heard some news, but I still can't figure it out. It must not be the cause of Jiao Si's death, so what is it?"

After finally getting to the parking lot and helping Lin Na into the car, Zhou Yuan remembered another thing before starting the car.Ever since she met Hong Tao in Huairou's residence, she felt that something was wrong with this man, and after spending several hours together, this feeling became even stronger.

"...I have heard this kind of question for the tenth time today. Jiao Qiaoren talked about what happened in the morning before he came back. He cremated Jiao Si and erected a monument to commemorate it. Then he and Everyone held the meeting with a black face as if everyone owed him money, and he led the whole plan alone, without asking anyone's opinion."

Lin Na smiled and stroked her long hair around her ear.Many women in the base responded to the call and cut their hair short, even in early autumn, but she didn't.I can't tell why, and it's not how much I like long hair.

If it's not a call, it's an order, maybe I will take the lead in cutting it off.This was the style of the Rescue Team and the Revival League before, or Hong Tao's style of doing things.He seldom forces others to do or think about small things.

Some people may like this style, some people may not be used to it, and it is hard to tell which is good and which is bad.But as far as managers are concerned, I think it is better to manage clearly.

"That's it... who sent him the mission?" Zhou Yuan couldn't figure out why Hong Tao suddenly changed into two completely different personalities. If he asked in person, he would definitely not get the answer he wanted. Standing up is more comfortable than eating, so I have to find a breakthrough from the side.

"...It's useless, I tried it, and Zhong Wei and Niu Dagui are on the mission with him. These two things are two hundred and five, and they get impatient before finishing three sentences, and they are not afraid of anything!"

It would be unreasonable if Lin Na didn't think of such a simple method. She had already called someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at noon, and asked her carefully for the reason of understanding the situation and evaluating merit, but she almost gave birth prematurely in anger.Going around and around, in exchange for all nonsense.

What kind of soldiers are really leading? Zhong Wei and Niu Dagui were notoriously clumsy and tongue-twisting in the past.It's only been a few months of training, and I haven't seen much improvement in my combat skills, but I can easily lie and deceive people.

They said in unison that they didn’t do anything, one was driving, the other was firing guns, and Hong Tao took Jiao Si to do the rest. They went to the bridge to direct traffic, why Jiao Si was beaten to death and didn’t see it at a glance .

"Oh, Niu Dagui... Do you want to hear the truth from him!"

There is no good way to deal with Zhong Wei and Zhou Yuan. They are also women, and they can fight so well. If they are in a hurry, they dare to do it.There is nothing wrong with a woman hitting a woman, the most important thing is that she really can't beat her.But Zhou Yuan knew Niu Dagui's temper well enough, but it would be fruitless to come forward by herself, and she had to rely on Lin Na's help.

"Tell me first, is there any way to make Niu Dagui tell the truth." Lin Na didn't agree immediately, she wanted to hear the specific method first, and then figured out if she could help.

"The two brothers of the Niu family are both bachelors. Their greatest wish in this life is to find a girl from the city to be their wife, especially Niu Dafu. Don't look at him as fierce, he cares about Niu Dagui, he is more considerate than his own father."

"You go and find out if the two brothers have a favorite woman, we will start from here, it doesn't take much, half a bottle of liquor can make Niu Dagui tell the truth. His alcohol capacity is very poor, and he will go crazy when he drinks too much, and catch someone Pull someone to cry and tell about the suffering of that year."

Or say that the person who knows you best is also the person who is most likely to harm you.Lin Na is so smart, so capable of thinking about people, and has a bunch of spies under her command, but she still has nothing to do when she meets Niu Dagui, the reason is that she doesn't know much about him.

It's different when it's Zhou Yuan. She has seen the scene of the two brothers getting drunk more than once, and she also knows the temperament of the two brothers.If she hadn't had an unpleasant experience in the Pingnan Army, she would have solved the problem perfectly without asking anyone for help.

"...I heard from Chu Ting that Niu Dagui is very interested in Shui Nanqin, but it's a pity that Xiao Shui doesn't like him."

Lin Na really has this candidate. Hong Tao has always wanted to implement semi-forced marriage regulations. Chu Ting and she are both supporters, and they have also secretly investigated the situation of young men and women in the revival alliance.But this proposal was resisted in the council, and it was not expected to come in handy today.

"Xiao Shui... Is she reliable?" Zhou Yuan thought about it, not sure whether Shui Nanqin was qualified to join the investigation.

"It may not be reliable for others, but she must be loyal to Hong Tao. That guy not only saved her life, but also gave her a reason to live. Not only her, Chu Ting, Xiao Jia and the others are in the same situation .”

As for what kind of torture the women rescued from Sun Dacheng's gang suffered, it was a taboo in the rescue team that they were not allowed to discuss it. This habit has been maintained until now. Even Zhou Yuan is not very clear, and Lin Na is also unwilling to go into details Talk, just a sentence.

"If that's the case, there's no problem. You go to Shui Nanqin's work. I'll arrange the meeting place and let you know when I'm ready." With Lin Na's endorsement, Zhou Yuan immediately felt relieved. The two opponents who were wary of each other, All of a sudden, they have become partners in working together again, and they share the same interest in inquiring about other people's secrets.

Chapter 395 All People Are Soldiers

Hong Tao certainly didn't expect that Lin Na and Zhou Yuan could join forces to investigate him behind the scenes, and he didn't have time to think about these brain-consuming questions.The next morning, Schultz brought back bad news. He and Seebeck took off in Hong Tao's Falcon 7X and conducted visual reconnaissance in the south and east directions.

It turned out that Jinan's zombie army had passed the front line of Dezhou and was crossing the Majia River and continuing to advance north.Since jets can't fly at very low speeds, the numbers are hard to track.

But just based on their feelings, both of them said that the number of zombies was more than that seen besieging the Jinan camp the day before yesterday, and they were roughly divided into four parts, with an interval of more than ten kilometers.

Their observations were confirmed that afternoon. Seven convoys of survivors fleeing northward in a hurry crashed into the Fifth Ring Road and were caught by the Revival Alliance, which was building fortifications.

They themselves said they were from Dezhou and Wuqiao. Those two places were raided by zombies in the early morning. Fortunately, the people on duty at midnight were alert, otherwise none of the sleeping survivors could escape.

After Hong Tao learned of the situation, he ordered the field team to detain these 30 people without saying a word, and they were first assigned to the logistics department to help repair the fortifications, but their vehicles and supplies did not move at all.

Then send someone to tell them that those who are willing to stay can resist together, and those who don't want to stay can drive and continue running when the zombie army arrives.Oil, supplies, including light weapons and ammunition can be provided free of charge, even if it is paid.

"If similar situations happen again, we should deal with them accordingly, but don't disperse the temporary personnel too much, and try to concentrate them on one or two construction sites, so that they will have less contact with our people."

But in private, Hong Tao told the person in charge of the construction site a principle that panic and timidity are contagious diseases, which can be transmitted to each other through language and demeanor.The most important thing right now is not to mess up, otherwise it will be useless to have many supervising teams.

"Depending on the situation, the advancing speed of the zombies is a little slower than we expected, and there are at least two days to prepare." Randy, with a pair of panda eyes, did not forget to listen to the wall while working.

Like Hong Tao, he also stayed up all night. With the cooperation of the two helicopter pilots, he finally got a Robinson R44 light helicopter, and now he is installing thermal imaging equipment on it.

"If Jiao Si is still alive, I can keep them from entering the Sixth Ring Road for at least a week... Let's work, two days is not much time!" As soon as he talked about the zombie siege, Hong Tao felt depressed, and he wanted to put that The one surnamed Zhao was rescued again.

"Why don't you go and rest for a while..." Randy is also not very used to Hong Tao who has not said a few words for a long time. creepy.

Looking at Randy's panda eyes, Hong Tao really wanted to comment.Caucasians, especially white people with green eyes, if they stay up too late, their eye circles will turn red instead of black, and if they have a few strands of blond hair drooping, they will be like dead perverts in movies.

"One plane is not enough...the longer the delay in the sky, the greater the pressure on the ground. Let Schultz and the others stop flying, and go with me to Pinggu Airport to try our luck."

But looking at the small plane next to him, Hong Tao didn't feel sleepy or tired at all.The load capacity of this sightseeing helicopter is too small. Even if all the detachable parts are removed, it cannot carry too many weapons except for two pilots and a bombardier.And a plane is too unsafe, there must be a backup.

In fact, it is not difficult to find usable planes, but there are really not many usable helicopters.When Hong Tao was cleaning the airport, he didn't pay much attention to helicopters, because he couldn't drive them well.

It may be that most of the helicopters are relatively delicate. They have lost the necessary maintenance and maintenance. After being exposed to wind, rain, sun, and freezing for a year, most of them have malfunctioned.

There are a few fixed-wing aircraft that can still fly, and there are some in Xishan Airport, but jets cannot.At this time, the fast speed has become a disadvantage. You must find a slow speed, a long time in the air, a large load, and a good view.

In this way, only propeller planes are available, but they can't be too big, and they can't be too small.It's too big, like C130, one or two people can't play it at all.It is too small, such as a single-engine small aircraft, and the load capacity is too low. It is inefficient to go back and forth only to take off and land to replenish ammunition.

Time passed quickly in a hurry, and two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the army of zombies seemed to be calm and unhurried, advancing northward little by little according to the inherent speed, constantly attacking cities and pulling out villages along the way. Slowly approaching the defense line of the Revival Alliance.

The defense line of human survivors is also changing day by day. On the South Fifth Ring Road, from Nanyuan Airport in the west to Wufang Bridge in the east, more than a dozen major traffic intersections along the way are all blocked by vehicles. In order to prevent being pushed away by zombies, many vehicles All welded together.

A trench 3 meters deep and 4 meters wide was dug along the outside of the ring road, and it was filled with water.This is the result of more than 20 hook machines digging non-stop day and night for more than two days. Now the hook machines are still digging outside the third ring road. Even if the zombies come, they will still dig in the front after the battle. The third ring road has been dug. Then dig the second ring.

Don't be too slow, this is already the best result of multi-party cooperation.The three reservoirs of Guanting, Huairou, and Miyun have not stopped water for nearly four days, and finally turned the West Fourth Ring Road and the East Fifth Ring Road into Zeguo.

Even if some places were not completely submerged, the zombies would not choose to detour from the east and west sides.This greatly shortened the width of the frontal defense, otherwise even 20 hook machines would not be able to dig such a long trench.

Except that the excavation work is relatively slow, other preparations in the plan have all been in place.Every few hundred meters on the Fifth Ring Road, there are three or four self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, ammunition vehicles, and oil tankers waiting.

For most of them, they may not have experienced a large-scale battle between humans and zombies. Although it sounds scary, it is difficult to completely scare away their courage, and they are even a little eager to try.

Of course, it's a different story after a real fight. For people who grew up in peacetime, war is not really terrible, and they often talk about it and look extremely heroic.

But when their fantasies are shattered by reality, they immediately become extremely frightened again, and would rather be killed than stay on the battlefield for one more minute.But this time, whether they want to or not, they must take up their guns and fight.

According to Zhou Yuan and Lin Na's arrangement, each firepower point will have a small group of military police.These people with white cloth belts on their arms will drive the tanks equipped with the firepower to participate in the battle, but most of their energy is focused on the comrades around them.

Whoever dares to retreat without authorization, whoever does not obey orders, this tank that is not effective in fighting zombies will become a machine for harvesting life.There is no warning, no consolation, and no need to ask anyone for instructions. You can shoot and shoot directly.
