Chapter 32 Rat's Nest 2
I clearly understand the significance of this trip, which will only bring us catastrophic consequences, that is: death. Needless to say, if we go to that ghost place alone, unless an armored vehicle and several boxes are brought to us
rockets, otherwise I would not touch anything in that corner, not even a tiny bit of dust. Obviously, that place is too dangerous, and there are many similar military-controlled areas.
, there must be some good things like guns and ammunition in it. Of course, we don’t have the lives to pick them up, and I wouldn’t do it if I had ten more lives.
When Lao Lan expressed to us his boredom about this place, that emotion quickly infected us like a virus. "This is nonsense!" I saw Lao Lan smashing the cans on the ground, and then there was a
I have a strong urge to go in with an ax and go find the boss here to cut it into pieces. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have this ability, and neither do we. What’s more, he’s not the only one who’s angry.
To put it simply, we don't like the atmosphere here, and some of us would like to punch the person in charge in the nose if he doesn't laugh at me with his nostrils. Everyone here agrees that we are just
Children, from beginning to end, and they reject us. Basically, I don’t like every plant or tree here, and I don’t agree with what these people say, except for what they said: “That’s just you.
Just good luck." Then these people smiled and asked us to buy lottery tickets, so that we can buy enough food to last a year.
I thank them from the bottom of my heart, these bastards.
"Either he is crazy or we are crazy," I cursed the boss here silently, and then added: "They don't think we have any use value, damn it."
"But we have no other way to go. If we just leave like this, we won't be able to get out of Dongcheng District alive with just the food we have!" Wei Lao said anxiously from the side.
"But this is an opportunity", I said.
"What opportunity?" Lao Lan and the others looked at me strangely.
"No matter what the conditions are this time, we have to find a way to get some benefits," I calmed down and replied.
"What's wrong with you?" Lao Lan pressed his hands on the table and looked at me with disbelief. "Do you really want us to follow you to death?"
"That's better than living a homeless life." My throat was a little thirsty, so I could only answer plainly: "We must make some progress here."
"madman"!
I saw Lao Lan clapped his hands on the table again, "We are just chasing a moth into a flame! So far, we don't even have any decent weapons! What do you want us to use to fight those guards?"
"That's the problem, man"! I reminded him, "what we lack is good equipment and weapons."
The two of them looked at me seriously and shook their heads sadly, as if I was a hopeless drug addict.
"Is there any way you can ensure our safety?" Lao Lan crossed his hands, as if his temper had returned.
"That's another story, man". I smiled, then brought the two of them closer together, and whispered: "We might as well steal the vehicle here, and then we rush to the military-controlled area."
"Tell me more about it".
"Look, if we steal their jeep here, there are a few bags of food on it, right? Then we don't need to use knives or guns to rob it. As long as we drive the car, if they chase us, we will
Lead them to the military management area, I guess they won't be able to catch up."
"That's a good idea. That car is really good." Wei Lao agreed.
"Then, we will think of a way to go to the military administration to get some guns and body armor, so we don't need to stay in Dongcheng District anymore. We can just drive directly along the beach to Nancheng District."
After listening, the two of them nodded. At this time, they looked at me in a different way, as if I was a guide in the darkness.
In terms of benefits, this is the benefit. A car, a few bags of food, and a few guns are enough for me. As for the fuel issue, we can directly use the gasoline in the vehicles on the road, and we can even withdraw cash at gas stations.
Use. And the key is these foods. If we are lucky today, maybe the bags of food in the back row will still be left on the seats and have not been taken away by them.
So, the three of us reached an agreement in the face of interests and had no objections. We took advantage of their lunch time and walked to the jeep without any pressure. But strangely enough, there was still no one guarding the place, and we even still had the keys to the jeep.
It's strange, they didn't confiscate our things, but they didn't give us any benefits either.
Before starting, I looked at the nearby parking space, hoping to see the shadow of the armored vehicle, but I didn't see it, it was gone.
Wei Lao started the jeep, and I didn’t think too much and got directly into the back seat of the car. But the good news is that several bags of food on the back seat were still there and had not been touched by anyone. After starting, we
He hurriedly drove out of the church area halfway up the mountain. According to the map of Dongcheng District, Lao Lan acted as a human guide and led Wei Lao out of this area while pointing to the street entrance.
But to be honest, it is very confusing that we just drove the car out. If I were the camp director, I would never tolerate such people stealing camp property. I hope they won't think so for the time being. If
They are petty and I don't think we will end up well.
I don’t know how long it took, but we drove unsteadily along the avenue back to the old streets of Dongcheng District. After driving along the asphalt road for nearly an hour, the jeep drove with difficulty to the bottom of Dongcheng District.
.During this period of time, I had no intention of looking at the scenery on the roadside. It was nothing more than dilapidated buildings and houses, plus a few dead trees and street lamps. If I had been more careful, I might have seen a few living things.
People are looking for food everywhere.
There are indeed civilians surviving here, but I'm not surprised.
"Is there something wrong with the engine of this Jeep?" I found a topic out of boredom to break the silence.
"No problem." Lao Lan tilted his ears and frowned.
"But the engine does sound a bit... noisy," I said.
"Stop thinking blindly, there is probably something wrong with this car. Look at the bumper on the front of the car, tsk tsk." Wei Lao patted the steering wheel, then changed gears and accelerated the car.
I don’t know how long it took, but we finally drove into the old factory area below Dongcheng District. From here, I found that the road began to become wider, but the road surface was old and grassy, and the factory had been abandoned for 10 years.
This area used to be the main industrial area of the city, but the industrial area was moved to Xicheng District more than ten years ago, and the industrial area was also changed into an industrial park. It mainly developed military products, heavy industry, high-tech, etc.
On the other hand, looking at the old industrial zone in Dongcheng District that has been eliminated, most of the factories here are sugar processing, brick production, thermal power stations, smelting plants, etc. This can be regarded as a microcosm of an era. Look at this land.
My son, it is really terribly desolate.
The military management area here is at the end of this road. Starting from the bottom road in the city, palm trees began to appear on both sides of the road. They were still swaying with the sea breeze, as if they were crazy. In my opinion,
This means we are almost there.
Although this driving process is extremely boring, I can almost ignore it. We have done nothing at this moment, and we are not even hungry. If I go to other places by car, I will definitely sleep in the car. The same is true here.
.
"Look over there"! Wei Lao parked the car on the lawn full of weeds, then pointed to a large wall not far away covered with snake-shaped barbed wire and said: "We are here"!
"God, I really don't want to come to this place." I got out of the car and took a few breaths of fresh air.
"You know how to get in, right? That thing doesn't look like it can be climbed." Lao Lan squinted his eyes, looked at the inexplicable buildings, and shook his head.
"There are no guards, no people, no movement." I walked towards the gate of the military management area, talking to myself.
Before this, I believed that our trip this time would not be in vain. But when I approached the gate, I couldn't be optimistic anymore. Because I couldn't see anything here, and there was nothing in front of me. In front of the gate
There is no obstruction, no guard, and there are no military vehicles in the courtyard, not even trailers. Right now, we only need to find the warehouse where the firearms and ammunition are stored, then load the vehicle and leave. It is so easy, in the world.
What else is easier than this?
In order to confirm safety, I did not rush into the courtyard. We observed this area again, and even the birds did not bother to fly over this area.
In the distance on the sea, several warships of the United Parliament were disappearing and appearing in the sea fog.
"What's wrong? We're all here, aren't you going to go in?" Lao Lan narrowed his eyes and urged me.
"I don't dare yet." I raised my index finger to remind them that everything here looks weird. There is clearly a military management area on the wall, but there is no movement at all. "We shouldn't walk in so arrogantly."
.I said.
"It's really ugly. It doesn't look like a military management area, but it looks like a grain storage room." Wei Lao complained, "But whether there are people in it or not is one thing."
"No one would leave piles of grain in this period, man, there is almost no end of pure water in it." I couldn't help but feel ridiculous, our ideas were still too naive.
"Okay, okay", Lao Lan reorganized his thoughts, "This is indeed an old military management area. You have repeatedly asked to come to this poor place to search for weapons, but when you get to the gate, you are still hesitant about whether to go in or not.
”.
"Hey, we don't lack this time to think." I pulled out the small .22 caliber pistol, pulled its slide, and responded to Lao Land: "We're going in right now."
Without thinking about other things, I walked directly into the military management area with my pistol in my hand. Before that, I also paid special attention to the camera hanging next to the gate. Well, it didn't seem to be working. If
If there is electricity in here.
Of course, we still thought too much, and it was obvious that we were not the only tourists. The closer I got to the courtyard, the more I realized that something was wrong. Look, the wheel marks of the big truck in front of the gate were new and obvious.
, there were several rows of people coming and going, as if someone had started driving the vehicles in the courtyard not long ago.
At least I haven't seen any vehicles yet.
"It's so strange, Old Han"! Mr. Wei pointed to the warehouses here, "They are all open."
Indeed, all the building doors here were open. When I bravely entered the arms warehouse with a pistol in hand, I was shocked to find that it was empty. There was not a gun in the storage box, and the ammunition box was full of ammunition.
It had been opened, and all ammunition of various calibers had been looted.
"Did we arrive too late? There is nothing here." Lao Lan sighed and looked at the small warehouse with disappointment.
"We haven't finished shopping yet," I said, pretending to be optimistic, "there are still a lot of boxes here."
Wei Lao opened them one by one, and we saw nothing except some scattered bullets and rubber training guns. There were no weapons in the arsenal, just a room of dust and our disappointed sighs. Having said that, I
Why sigh.
So, we walked around and came to the equipment warehouse. Fortunately, many things here have not been stained, but many of them are camouflage uniforms, hats, military boots and the like. I haven't seen a tactical vest yet.
I looked for things like bulletproof vests and the like, but I didn’t see them. I thought about it and decided to forget about these items in stock.
What were you thinking? How could you forget it? No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh. I looked around for a while at the camouflage clothes in the warehouse and picked out a jacket and a pair of leather boots. That’s all. The capacity of my backpack is not what I use it for.
To hold these messy things.
Just as I lifted my feet and put on my leather boots, I heard that dull sigh again.
I raised my head and looked around. Apart from the awkward silence, there were only two people here, Lao Lan and Wei Lao. Although they talked a lot, these two rarely sighed, but... why should we sigh?
"Sigh"? Mr. Wei looked at me, "Why should we sigh?"
I am very sure that I heard sighs here more than once or twice. The sound was small and dull. Just when I made it clear to them that I heard their sighs here, we heard that sound again.
A long and subtle sigh.
"listen"?
I pricked up my ears and frowned, pretending to hear something fishy.
"This is not a sighing sound," Wei Lao said with a wry smile, "This is the sound of a generator!"
Hearing this, I frowned again. Everyone seemed to understand something for a moment, so they lowered their heads in unison and looked at the floor where their feet were standing. In a daze, I heard Wei Lao say this
One sentence.
