Chapter 1052: Partiality? Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Big camphor tree base.
In the greenhouse.
Li Yu saw the drunken Ant and Wu Jianguo chatting about the past. Next to them, the third uncle, Lao Qin, and Jackal were sitting there, cooking hot pot.
Li Yu felt a little stuffy inside the greenhouse.
Although the ventilation system was turned on in the greenhouse, maybe he was a little hot because he ate some mutton.
After saying hello to my second uncle and the others, I stood up and left my seat.
When I opened the door of the greenhouse, I was greeted by a cold breeze.
The cold wind blew, instantly making him sober, and the heat also dissipated.
Find He Chao in the First Outer City and ask him to arrange accommodation for Wu Jianguo later, preferably next door to Lao Qin and the others.
Later.
He then returned to his room in the inner city to rest.
Standing by the window and recalling Wu Jianguo's performance just now, according to his personal observation, this Wu Jianguo is actually pretty good.
Although he doesn't talk much, there isn't much in his words and deeds.
After thinking about some random things, he felt a little sleepy.
So he fell asleep.
........
Southern paradise.
There are far fewer refugees outside the wall. Almost every time a natural disaster strikes, these refugees will disperse and look for new shelters.
Although trenches were built, it was inevitable that zombies would cross the trenches at night, and many people died.
They are outside the walls of Southern Paradise, looking forward to one day being able to enter.
But reality hits them time and time again.
Some people leave in despair and go out to find new hope.
But in the apocalypse, it's not that easy to fight alone.
Although the conditions outside the outer wall of Southern Paradise are not good, there are so many people after all, so at least there is psychological comfort.
Within the wall.
Guard Captain Zhang looked at the three or four people leaving the shack with a complicated expression.
It's not that he doesn't want to help these people, it's just that he really has no other way.
Their capabilities are limited. Once so many refugees are let in, they won't be able to suppress them, and the entire Southern Paradise may end up in chaos and completely collapse.
The shacks outside the wall are already much empty, and there are fewer and fewer refugees.
Compared to one or two years ago, it is completely incomparable.
They sometimes do tasks outside, and occasionally meet the refugees.
Most of these refugees looked at them with hatred.
"Sigh... I'm powerless. I don't know how long it will take for the ice and snow to melt..." Lao Zhang Youyou said with emotion.
"Captain, isn't it a good thing that they are gone?" a guard standing next to him asked.
Lao Zhang frowned and said: "It's a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that you don't have to worry about being blocked when you go out and come back in the future.
The disadvantage is that an opportunity for development has been missed, people's hearts have been lost, and in the long run it will cause all kinds of troubles.
Alas...but there is nothing we can do about it.”
The guard next to him nodded in understanding and raised his head to look at the ice and snow in the distance.
In the opposite direction of his gaze, in the inner city of Southern Paradise.
Indoor plantation.
The madman dug out a small piece of rhizome and saw that the potatoes had already produced fruit.
Although it is still growing, it is only four to five centimeters in diameter.
But this means that their indoor cultivation was successful!
He carefully placed the tubers and roots back into the pit, and then buried them with soil.
Finally, I poured some more water.
He raised his head with a bright smile on his face.
"It's done! We have to tell Brother Tiger the good news!" He murmured.
He did what he thought of, clapped his palms, shook off the dirt in them, and walked straight to Master Hu's residence.
His leg is lame, so he doesn't walk very fast.
Ten minutes later.
He stood in front of Master Hu.
Mr. Hu was looking at the map at this time, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and saw the madman.
"Brother Hu, indoor planting is basically completed, and you will be able to harvest the fruits in a few months." The madman said with some excitement on his face.
"That's right. Keep working hard. How much food do you estimate we can produce?" Master Hu asked.
The madman hesitated and replied: "It is still in the testing phase, and the results have just been obtained. This speculation is not accurate. I will not be able to give you an answer until a month later."
Master Hu nodded and asked, "Well, do you need any support from me?"
The lunatic's face lit up and he said, "That's not necessary, but heating must be ensured. Everything else can be overcome."
Potatoes, a food crop, are also cool-loving crops. As long as the temperature is not lower than minus six degrees, they generally will not die.
But if the temperature falls below this value, death is certain.
Heating...
Mr. Hu frowned. Heating requires burning oil and electricity.
There have been no transactions with Oil City for two or three months. Although there is still oil stored in the park, it cannot be used for heating.
When they go out for transportation, their cars need fuel. If all of it is used for heating, how can they drive?
But he did not tell the madman this problem. Instead, he said to the madman:
"Don't worry, I can guarantee the heating problem. I'll wait for you to harvest the food in a month!"
Hearing Master Hu's assurance, the madman breathed a sigh of relief.
He has always been worried about the heating problem in the underground plantation, but now Master Hu has given him a reassurance, which makes him feel more at ease.
The lunatic noticed that Mr. Hu seemed to have something on his mind today. He originally wanted to ask, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he couldn't do anything, so he gave up the idea.
"Brother Tiger, I'm leaving first," the madman said.
"good."
After the madman left, Master Hu sat down on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand.
Zhou Xing, the bodyguard standing next to Mr. Hu, couldn't help but said: "Master Hu, Chen Er just came over this morning to talk about the problem of insufficient fuel reserves. Now he directly promised to guarantee heating. Will..."
Before he could finish speaking, Master Hu waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"The food issue is the most important. Natural disasters continue. If we cannot maintain a stable source of food, the Southern Paradise will be over sooner or later!
You go and ask Chen Er to come over. We must prepare as soon as possible to trade in Oil City before the ice and snow melt."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Xing nodded and said: "Okay."
Then he hurriedly left the room.
...
Northern Commonwealth.
In the inner city.
Hefeng was carrying a kettle on his way back to his residence when he was suddenly blocked by a group of people.
He Feng raised his head and took a few steps back warily after seeing the leading man.
"Tian Yunxiao, what do you want to do? This is the Northern Federation, I warn you not to mess around!" Hefeng slowly backed away and shouted sternly.
The voice is loud and wants to attract other people's attention.
Tian Yunxiao smiled coldly and said to the people behind him: "Hit me! I must break one of his legs today!"
boom!
He Feng threw the kettle in his hand towards the person closest to him.
The water in the kettle spilled out, and the kettle hit the ground with a clanking sound.
Turn around and run.
However, there were several people blocking the way behind him.
He didn't have any weapons in his hands, so he could only avoid the knife and stick in the hands of the person opposite.
Boom!
He punched a person hard with his fist and then shook him away with his hand.
At this moment, a sap came from behind.
Hit him on the head.
Blood oozed from the back of his head and he fell to the ground.
"Control him!"
Tian Yunxiao snorted coldly and said to everyone.
Several people stepped forward to control his hands and feet. After Hefeng took a sap, he was dizzy and wanted to struggle, but he couldn't exert any strength at all.
Tap tap tap——
Tian Yunxiao walked up to him and stepped on his forehead with his foot.
Holding an iron rod in his hand, he said with a sneer: "I said that when you return to the Federation, I will settle the score with you and teach you a lesson first!"
The words just fell.
He took the iron rod and hit him hard on his leg.
Click——
Accompanied by a bone crack.
Hefeng let out a shrill scream.
"ah!!!"
At this moment, a group of people rushed out from the direction of the special operations team's residence.
After Ma Dong saw He Feng being beaten by a group of people, he rushed over.
"Grass mud horse Tian Yunxiao! How dare you use dirty tricks!"
Ma Dong picked up a brick from the ground and patted it towards the nearest Tian Yunxiao's subordinate.
Boom!
Tian Yunxiao's men were caught off guard and were shot in the head with a brick.
Fell to the ground.
Just when Ma Dong continued to take action.
A group of security forces with firearms walked over from the side.
"What's going on? There's a rebellion!?" Yuan Youzhi walked over and looked at Ma Dong and others with a frown.
"Didn't you see that Tian Yunxiao openly gathered people to beat He Feng?" Ma Dong said unceremoniously after seeing Yuan You.
Yuan Youzhi glared at him and said casually:
"I only saw that you actively wanted to fight with Tian Yunxiao and a few others! Article 3 of the Northern Federal Inner City Management Regulations: No random fights are allowed. Are you kidding me?"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at his thugs.
"Take them all away!"
Ma Dong looked at He Feng lying on the ground wailing, and cursed angrily:
"Hefeng is injured, you can't just tell lies with your eyes open!"
Ming Sheng and others walked over and helped He Feng up.
Yuan Youzhi said with a serious face: "That is not the reason for you to openly defy the management regulations. Take them all away. This matter must be reported to the Governor for him to deal with it!"
Ma Dong and others looked at Tian Yunxiao with anger in their eyes, wishing they could kill him.
But they did not carry weapons, not to mention that if they killed Tian Yunxiao in the Northern Federation, they would not be able to survive, and their families would be harmed.
Hefeng's face turned pale, and the pain in his calf caused him to sweat profusely.
He stopped Ma Dong, who wanted to continue speaking and resisting, and said to Yuan Youzhi:
"Captain of security, we listen to you and go to see the governor together! Let the governor make the decision!"
Yuan Youzhi lowered his head, glanced at He Feng, and said calmly:
"Well, you are still sensible."
Then he shouted to the security team members behind him: "Take them all away!"
In this way, Tian Yunxiao, He Hefeng and others arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
"You guys wait here!" Yuan Youzhi said to everyone.
Tian Yunxiao came over with a shy face and said to Yuan Youzhi: "Second cousin, let me go with you. I have something to report to my eldest cousin."
Yuan Youzhi ignored him, but became impatient when Tian Yunxiao pulled him away.
He whispered: "Yunxiao, brother, he has been in a bad mood recently, please be more honest later, or you will suffer the consequences!"
Tian Yunxiao smiled and said, "I have already sent the things you asked for last time to my eldest cousin."
"Ahem."
Yuan Youzhi forcefully shook off Tian Yunxiao's arm and walked into the Governor's Mansion with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Enter the Governor's Palace.
Yuan Youzhi walked into Yuan Zhi's office.
Yuan Zhi is writing calligraphy, which reads: Calm down, three big characters.
More powerful, three points into the paper.
"Governor, the Hefeng Special Operation Team and Tian Yunxiao had a private fight, and I caught them. They are downstairs now." Yuan Youzhi said to Yuan Zhi.
Yuan Youzhi is Yuan Zhi's cousin, and he is usually favored by Yuan Zhi.
Appointed as captain of the inner city security team.
In troubled times, if you want to have a peaceful sleep, you must have a few trustworthy people.
Without common interests, there is no absolute sense of loyalty.
Wu Jianguo's betrayal once again taught him a lesson: outsiders cannot be trusted, only family members can be trusted, even if he is a bastard.
At least he cares about himself!
After hearing what Yuan Youzhi said, Yuan Zhi did not move at all.
Still write the last word "qi".
After I finished writing, I looked at it carefully.
Appreciate your own handwriting.
I wiped my hands from the wet towel on the table and put down the brush.
He glanced at Yuan Youzhi.
Without answering his words, he just took a coat from the hanger next to him and walked out.
Yuan Youzhi quickly followed.
soon.
They arrived at the gate of the Governor's Palace.
"Governor, Hefeng privately slandered you, said bad things about you, and even discussed defecting to Oil City. I'm really angry to have a dispute with him."
Tian Yunxiao saw Yuan Zhi coming out and spoke first.
"You're talking nonsense. The bad guys will complain first! It was obvious that I had just finished fetching water and you stopped me and beat me when I returned to my apartment!" He Feng said angrily.
Yuan Zhi looked at He Feng, who was pale and had a broken leg bone, and then looked at the subordinate who was pushed forward by He Feng and whose head was shot by Ma Dong. There was blood on his head.
No treatment was done, the blood flowed from the head to the face, and the injury looked horrific.
Yuan Youzhi also intervened at this time: "When we passed by, we saw Ma Dong throwing bricks at Ouyang Ming. Fortunately, we stopped him and did not cause more casualties."
Ma Dong raised his head and said angrily: "Shit, Brother Hefeng was clearly beaten by Tian Yunxiao and the others. Let's go over and save him."
Avoid the heavy and take the easy.
How could it be such a coincidence that he just ran over to stop him at the critical moment.
It was clearly Yuan Youzhi and Tian Yunxiao who colluded.
"Shut up! The governor is free to make decisions, what else do you need to say!" Yuan Youzhi said angrily after being exposed.
Yuan Zhi glared at him.
Yuan Youzhi had a stern expression and stopped talking.
Yuan Zhi looked at He Feng and others indifferently and said:
"Federal management regulations cannot be violated. Since you have violated it, you will be punished. Hefeng and Ma Dong will punish you two by repairing the river channel for one month and without food for three days.
Mingsheng, you guys have been without food for two days.
Tian Yunxiao and others are confined for three days and are not allowed to go out!"
The words just fell.
Ma Dong stretched his neck and shouted: "It's not fair!"
"Governor, it was clearly Tian Yunxiao and the others who made the first move, yet the punishment was completely different! Favoritism!"
Mingsheng also said: "Governor, He Feng's leg was broken. If you ask him to repair the river, won't it cost his life?"
Repairing river channels is the most arduous and torturous task in winter when the wind is biting.
Yuan Zhi stared at them and said coldly: "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?!"
His eyes were extremely cold.
After He Feng and others saw it, they felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
My heart instantly became cold, and Governor Yuan Zhi in front of me seemed to have become extremely strange.
Is he still the wise and mighty governor he once was?
How could he do such an obvious favoritism!
Just because Tian Yunxiao is his cousin?
hehe!
Tian Yunxiao's face looked overjoyed at this time, and his face was filled with self-satisfaction.
Sure enough, my cousin has me in his heart and treats me as one of his own family members.
Mingsheng's expression was aggrieved. He looked at Hefeng's leg dripping with blood.
He couldn't help but said: "Governor, He Feng's leg is seriously injured. If it's such a cold Tianxiahe, his leg will be useless.
Can I repair the river on his behalf? Is that okay? Please."
Ming Sheng's almost pleading tone made He Feng's eyes turn red after hearing it.
All this was for him, Hefeng couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Yuan Zhi glanced at He Feng's legs and said calmly: "Okay."
Then he turned around and left, no longer talking to them.
Tian Yunxiao sneered at He Feng and the others.
"Fight with me, and you won't even look where this is!"
Then he ran in with a bang.
"Let's go!" Yuan Youzhi looked at He Feng and others and said indifferently.
Ma Dong and Ming Sheng gritted their teeth and followed Yuan Youzhi towards the river.
Others supported Hefeng and walked to his residence.
Looking at their backs, they look like mice escaping in a hurry.
Without Wu Jianguo standing in front of them, their entire team seemed to have no soul and could be bullied by anyone.
Extremely frustrating!
Inside the Governor's Palace.
Yuan Zhi looked at Tian Yunxiao in front of him coldly.
What he did just now actually had his own reasons.
The news about Wu Jianguo's rebellion has already spread.
Wu Jianguo has done something, and someone must be punished. Otherwise, where is the prestige of his governor?
If someone rebels next time, Hefeng and the others will suffer the same fate.
This is still just the beginning.
eccentric?
right!
He just happened to be so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger!
Wu Jianguo betrayed, and although Hefeng and the others came back, it did not mean that Yuan Zhi did not doubt their loyalty.
The more these people defend Wu Jianguo, the more Yuan Zhi hates them and worries about their loyalty.
ability?
Indeed, Hefeng and the others do have some fighting power.
But in the Northern Federation, the most indispensable thing is people.
in short.
When Wu Jianguo left the Northern Federation and He Feng and the others came back, it was already destined that He Feng and the others would be suppressed.
Wu Jianguo's fault will be borne by them!
As for whether these people will jump over the wall in a hurry, that's even better!
Just take this opportunity to scare the monkeys and let people in the Federation see the consequences of betrayal!
"Cousin, you were so domineering just now! Hehe, if you ask me to say, just drive Hefeng out! Or kill him! You can see this time, Wu Jianguo has seriously brainwashed them, and they are not loyal to you at all!"
Tian Yunxiao was beside him, fanning the flames.
Yuan Zhi's expression changed, he strode over and slapped him.
Snapped!
Tian Yunxiao covered his face and looked at the governor aggrievedly.
Yuan Zhi scolded: "Idiot! Let them out? They will definitely run directly to the Oil City! Stupid, if you can use your brain, who asked you to attack Hefeng directly! Ah?"
Yuan Zhi is an extremely calm and rational person who is not easily swayed by emotions.
In any decision, consider the pros and cons first.
Let Hefeng and the others leave. They know something about the Northern Federation and have a certain fighting capacity. Wouldn't letting them leave strengthen the strength of Oil City?
The existence of Hefeng and others is still meaningful.
There are two paths next.
One is to accept them on the surface, let everyone admire his magnanimity, and enhance his reputation. Secretly, he is to supervise them, no longer reuse them, and send them to unimportant positions.
The second is to wait for Hefeng and the others to make a mistake, even a small one, and then they can take advantage of this to scare the others in the federation into betraying him.
He hasn't thought about these two paths yet, but he wants the benefits of both paths.
Tian Yunxiao said aggrievedly: "But, but they..."
"roll!"
Seeing Tian Yunxiao trying to defend himself again, Yuan Zhi yelled at him to leave.
When Tian Yunxiao saw Yuan Zhi angry, his heart trembled, and he ran away in despair.
