Chapter 68 Meeting 2
Because we were relatively close to the iron wall, Lao Lan and I were also affected to some extent after the thermite bomb exploded the large iron plate. The hot smell of thermite and steel slag made me cough non-stop.
, although these splashing sparks could not do anything to us in the distance, the melted wall and the black smoke that had not dispersed made me dare not move forward immediately.
Lao Lan and I waited for the blazing red cutting edge to cool down, and then slowly and leisurely met Wei Lao on the other side of the iron wall. The explosion just now was not an "ordinary thing" for ordinary people, let alone who would know about it.
Standing behind this wall? I saw him hunched over with his hands on his knees and coughing violently. This only shows that those thermite and iron slag are not too polite to anyone.
At this moment, he looked at the two of us slowly walking towards him with a haggard look on his face, and then asked in confusion:
"God, how did you blow this wall open?"
"Use charm." I replied to whet his appetite, and then walked slowly back to the armored vehicle.
"This sound doesn't sound good..."
"I understand what you mean, man." I turned around and walked backwards while smiling at Mr. Wei. At this time, there was a little more worry on his face. "No one wants to come here to go shopping in this damn weather.
"Yes." I said.
"Come on, don't worry, we don't know you are behind this wall." Lao Lan smoothed things over for me. At the same time, he also noticed that I dropped the big backpack on the ground when I left.
Just to his left.
"Hey!" He called me, "Come here and pick up your bag, asshole!"
"Thank you!" I waved my hand in the distance and said.
"Fuck, this guy is not a good person at all..." Lao Lan carried two large backpacks depressedly, panting and followed step by step.
Soon, Wei Lao was the only one left on the cold park path, blowing the cold wind depressedly. His eyes were full of fatigue and shock at the way we suddenly broke through the wall to visit. If he pressed forward any further
If we take only a few steps against the wall, we will probably become outright murderers.
Then, we gathered in the car wash shop where the armored vehicle was parked, and the three of us still sat together. In this cold winter, in a closed area without heating facilities, if we don’t make a fire, we can only rely on hugging each other to take care of ourselves.
Our body temperature has risen. In this kind of room, we don’t care about fireworks flying and being discovered. At this moment, keeping warm is the primary goal.
As usual, I found several oil-burning cloths and poured some gasoline into a stainless steel basin to start the fire. The rest I basically relied on charcoal from the nearby grocery store to stoke the fire, which was almost enough.
The temperature that meets our needs.
Of course, it also includes satisfying my need for barbecue. When the simple campfire is lit, I have no reason not to feel happy. In such an environment, the campfire will make people feel warm and relax.
After briefly handling the ingredients for lunch, I found that Wei Lao's food was almost gone, and his appetite was not very good. Coupled with the long-term exercise and sudden drop in temperature over the past week, he seemed to be suffering from hypothermia.
My blood sugar level was so high that my face became very ugly.
"Where's Yana?" I asked while turning the dried fish.
"She?" Wei Lao wiped his nose, "She kept vigil last night and is sleeping soundly in the armored vehicle now."
"We've only been there for one day, so you won't even want to sleep, right?" I asked him.
"What the heck, the two of us can't cause any big trouble, and the weather changes too fast, so we can only sit tight and wait for you to come back."
"How much ammo are left?" I asked.
"Not many, there are still 20 boxes of submachine gun bullets left, and there are only a dozen scattered rounds of .22 caliber left..." Wei Lao blinked his eyes continuously, and the bags under his eyes were very obvious under the dim firelight.
The ammunition was consumed so fast. I thought to myself that the previous battle was just throwing water. If it were not a high-intensity battle, there would be no need to use bullets in a small fight. Unless you are determined to kill someone,
Otherwise I would just knock him half to death as a sign of respect.
But Lao Lan and Wei Lao don't. In their eyes, killing is not a difficult task. They think those damn bastards should be executed, rather than have the opportunity to take revenge. Now that the law enforcement agencies are paralyzed, the only thing that can punish them is their strength.
Stronger people.
Kindness seemed to disappear from this city in an instant, leaving only a city and a group of hungry beasts. But I am neither a hunter nor a beast, at least not yet, and I don’t want to do anything extraordinary. You know,
The regulations are only invalid in this city. Murder is illegal. If you walk out of this city alive, you will still be thrown into jail and eventually executed.
Therefore, I am afraid of using military-standard firearms, and I do not use regulatory equipment or military-standard bulletproof plates. But other people are not so conscious. These people have no rules and wantonly use these military-standard weapons. They often proudly show off to others.
People show off their military power. This has led to various organizations in many places to form another faction and go around the city to plunder people's wealth and so on.
These people will then be investigated by agents or relevant personnel sent by the United Council, and the result will be either imprisonment or death.
Whenever I recall the scene when Joker killed someone, I remind myself not to touch those military properties.
Of course, in addition, other things can be used by us. Including police equipment and homemade gadgets, as long as they can serve survival, then they are good things.
"So, have you found that militia organization?" Wei Lao rubbed his hands and sighed, saying.
"That's just one of them. Who knows how many rebellious militiamen there are in this city. They are not good people." I yawned and continued to explain: "There's nothing good to say about that militia group, man."
"What's in these bags?"
I opened the zipper of my backpack with one hand and exposed the contents to him. "I picked it up by chance," I said.
"Are you sure these things are not standard contraband stolen by the militia?" Wei Lao looked at the heavy-duty full-protective vest inside and couldn't help but feel curious. This kind of thing with a bulletproof lining is not something that can be taken casually.
. And generally the armor that comes with its own lining is either police standard equipment or military armor.
"Who knows? This thing doesn't look like it was produced in this city." Lao Lan pointed to a spot on the vest and said, "It's all laser-cut moray strips. It doesn't look like the usual ones in this city.
Nylon webbing, and I’ve never seen a quick-release system..."
"If you like it, just tell me." I glanced at Lao Lan.
"I don't want to wear such heavy stuff." Wei Lao shook his head.
"I don't care. I think protection should be the first priority in the current battle. If you don't wear it, I will wear it!" Lao Lan snatched the vest away with one hand and put the heavy vest next to the fire to bake. I just then
I noticed that the vest had not been dried yet.
Looking at the awkward atmosphere, Wei Lao quickly found a topic, "Have you come back to check the equipment?" he asked.
"We don't have that time," I replied, "We are in a hurry and we cook hot food when we have time. The temperature over there is really low."
"I have also noticed that the temperature has been dropping in the past few days. But usually the temperature in Nancheng District in winter is not lower than zero at all. This is so strange." Wei Lao said dragging his chin.
There is nothing surprising about this, I thought to myself. Since the strange missile explosion, the sudden plague, the inexplicable parliamentary agents, and all kinds of recent things have almost made me brave.
Under the current extremely cold weather, as long as there is no blizzard or snow curtain, I feel very normal, and even a little happy. So in southern China, for people like us who have never been exposed to snow,
Say, snowball fights have always been a fantasy.
"First there was the explosion, then the blockade, then the plague and riots, and now there's a sudden drop in temperature..." Lao Lan complained. He was just as tired as the rest of us. We have all experienced these things together.
, being able to survive is just good luck. "If we don't escape, we don't know how long we can last."
"We have no way, man, we currently have no way to go directly to Beicheng District. We don't know the situation over there at all!"
"Yeah," I sighed and took a bite of the burnt dried fish. "I don't want to be beaten into a sieve by the government troops."
I suddenly remembered the public broadcast two weeks ago, which said that if the disaster management was not completed in a month, the Southern Continent's United Fearless Forces would tear up the treaty with the Northern Continent Empire and invade the city. By that time, the masses will become the army.
Enemy. So this is considered a threat to our citizens? The people of Southern Africa are the most dishonest people in the world. They will not obey the decisions of the United Parliament honestly, and they will not take the treaty of Northern Africa seriously.
ri. Therefore, there is a reason why the joint parliamentary agents could not find the chips and modules.
"This may be a trick of the parliament." I analyzed. "The scope of their activities has become larger and larger recently. In order to achieve their goals, it is not impossible to use quenching air bombs."
"A bunch of lunatics..." Lao Lan was a little frustrated. He even rolled his eyes and raised his head, looking confusedly at the ceiling full of spider webs, and finally sighed.
I'm not sure if he's sighing or breathing.
"Only we can save ourselves now." I raised my voice, but my throat hurt again due to lack of water and thirst. "We need the ability to fight back and fight, and even the determination and courage to fight. Man, this world is bad.
Nowadays, it’s not just the number of people that counts, in this city, there will be people shooting black guns behind your back in every corner!”
"But we can't keep fighting these people forever, man, we are tired." Lao Lan said and yawned again.
"Yes, what we need most right now is to replenish sleep and replenish energy." I exhaled, but at this time, the air in the Nancheng District blockade was cold enough to make my exhaled breath emit white smoke. "We will wait.
We will organize the equipment and just take a day off today. The food storage is sufficient, so there is no need for us to risk going out to work for the time being."
"Agree, man, Lao Lan has fallen asleep now!" Wei Lao pointed to Lao Lan next to me, who was already asleep on a heavy-duty full-protective vest that had been dried.
Chapter completed!
