A few hundred meters away from him, Jing Daqian and others followed him in a truck.
At the road intersection ahead, a towering sentry tower stood.
Xia Liangfeng, a non-staff member on the sentry tower, saw Hong Gongcao and the car behind him, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to report:
"Director Ju, they have arrived at Guard Tower No. 3 and are only 7 kilometers away from the trading market."
"Okay." Ju Tianrui's voice came from the intercom.
He is in a fork in the road not far from here, and he is fully responsible for this mission.
The tracking team, monitoring team, emergency response team, and even the personnel on duty at the sentry tower outside the trading market were all under his command this time.
He learned about Hong Gongcao's situation through various groups and made action plans.
Ju Tianrui sat in the explosion-proof vehicle and said to the combatants next to him:
"Contact Dai Jiusheng, and capture them immediately the moment they enter the trading market!"
"Hmm... By the way, I also remind the guard captain Cao Le not to stop the truck. The corresponding inspections in Wengcheng will be carried out normally, and the guard team will do a good job in security."
"Received." The combat personnel immediately contacted the corresponding personnel.
The reason why they were not taken down immediately was because they were worried that Jing Daqian would notice the clues and inform the boss that although Jing Daqian had placed the radio station in the woods next to the elementary school,
but.
According to the bugs, they learned that Jing Daqian and others entered Wengcheng carrying two pistols.
The survivors who occasionally enter the trading market own firearms.
There were more than thirty people in their group, and it was not surprising that they owned two pistols and about ten rounds of ammunition.
If we don't capture them now, we won't have any cold weapons or hot weapons when they enter the trading market later.
At that time, they will be like fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by Ju Tianrui and the others.
Cao Le, who was on duty at the gate, was looking outside.
He has already received the news that a spy team will be coming today to ask him to cooperate and do a good job.
At this time, I received the latest news from Ju Tianrui and quickly cheered up.
He was the only one in the gatekeeping team who knew about this matter, and none of his other subordinates knew about it.
The other side.
Jingda Gan sat in the passenger seat anxiously and passed by the guard tower.
Just as Hong Gongcao said to him, although there are guards in the sentry tower, they will not investigate a team that is not strange like them.
If something similar to an armored vehicle or a modified tank appears, it will definitely attract attention.
It's just a dilapidated truck, it doesn't even have a license plate, it's nothing among the survivors.
After approaching the trading market, there were many more vehicles on the road.
From time to time, several trucks loaded with construction materials or wood merged from another road.
By this time, even without Hong Gongcao leading the way, Jing Daqian and the others knew how to get to the trading market. They just had to follow these cars.
There are also some survivors appearing on both sides of the road from time to time. Some of these survivors are driving cars, and most of them are walking.
The burden of things on their bodies was too heavy, and some even used unicycles from decades ago. These unicycles were not made of wood, but were tires removed from unknown scrapped vehicles.
Some push carts with all kinds of things on them.
Since the Golden Tiger Gang was defeated by Oil City a few days ago, there have been no robberies within the five kilometers surrounding the trading market.
This allows these survivors to dare to take the main road.
There were still two kilometers to go from the trading market. After turning a corner, the front suddenly became clear.
A majestic high wall stands in the center of a small plain in Nuoda.
There is a long chimney in the high wall that is emitting white smoke.
On the black asphalt road, thousands of survivors walked toward an east direction.
Seeing such a prosperous scene, Jing Daqian was secretly surprised.
This is outside the trading market, and it is so prosperous.
If it were inside the trading market, it would probably be even more lively.
As for Hong Gongcao, he was already submerged in the traffic, but they didn't panic.
Hong Gongcao had just told them about the details that should be paid attention to.
The truck Jing Dagan was in, followed a transport truck and headed towards the gate of the trading market.
A group of survivors next to them looked at the truck where Jing Dagan was sitting. There were more than thirty people sitting on the bed of the truck, which was very crowded.
But there is a car!
No need to walk.
"Brother Meng, let's buy a car then, so we don't have to walk so hard." Among the survivors, a young man said to a man in front of him.
The man in front frowned and replied:
"Buying a car? How expensive is it to buy a complete car? There are a lot of scrapped vehicles out there. Why don't we just find some parts and assemble a car ourselves? It's easy to drive a car, but the difficulty is the fuel! We can't afford to fill it up with fuel!"
"But...."
At this moment, another man with a gentle temperament and a pair of glasses with a hole in his eyes questioned:
"But, no one in our team can assemble vehicles..."
The leading man waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay. I know someone who can repair cars. If we give him a few points when the time comes, he will help us assemble it."
"That's good." The gentle man nodded.
They don't have cars, so they can't go too far when searching for supplies. After all, they can't go very far on their own feet.
Once they have a car, they will be able to search for supplies further afield.
The past few years in the last days have taught them to make careful calculations.
After coming to the trading market, they are accustomed to spending every point wisely.
But at least there is some hope. After the thunderstorm and natural disaster, through three months of hard work, they got rid of the life-or-death line of hunger and saved some points.
Although they can't buy a car in the trading market now, they have points deposits and no pressure to survive. They also bought ultraviolet lamps, and the survival skills they have honed over the years are enough for them to survive outside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, occasionally accidents happen and a few people die.
"Brother Meng, I'm a little thirsty. Can you give me a drink of water from your kettle?" the young man said to the man in front of him.
Hearing this, Brother Meng asked: "Where is your kettle? Didn't I fill it up for you when we set off today?"
"Drink up. It's already October and the weather is still so hot. I..."
Brother Meng pulled off the kettle from his body and threw it to him.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.
The black asphalt road was burned by the sun and became soft and sticky to the shoes.
They cannot stay in the same place for too long or the shoes and tar will stick together.
As Brother Meng walked, he looked at the heat waves in the air.
I feel a little worried.
It has been three months since the thunderstorm disaster passed.
Not a drop of rain fell.
For three months, the temperature has remained above 35 degrees, reaching a maximum of 45 degrees.
Although it is not as scary as the extreme heat disaster in previous years.
However, it seems that the weather is a bit abnormal and it has not rained for a long time.
Generally speaking, a month without rain in the south can be called a drought, two months without rain in the north is called a drought, and three months without rain in the northwest is considered normal.
This involves different places, and the vegetation is also different.
For example, in the south, three months without rain is considered a severe drought.
However, the previous thunderstorms that lasted for several months filled many depressions with water, so the drought was not that serious.
However, if there continues to be no rain, the drought problem will become more serious.
The end of the world is so difficult.
For ordinary survivors, the challenge is not only zombies, but also changing environmental disasters.
This damn weather will either stop raining or it will rain continuously for several months.
Or if it doesn't rain for several months, it will be dry to death.
In such a harsh environment, water sources needed to grow crops will also become a problem.
Before the end of the world, rice was grown in the south. Late rice was usually sown in mid-to-late June and harvested in early to mid-October.
If it doesn't rain for three months now, if you plant rice outdoors in the south, the rice will die immediately.
Unless it is near a reservoir or river, water from the reservoir is used to irrigate rice.
However, zombies like water.
Open lakes, rivers, reservoirs, etc. are often places where there are the most zombies.
Due to various complex reasons, it is extremely difficult for survivors outside to realize their own cultivation.
Brother Meng sighed leisurely:
"I hope it rains, but I hope it doesn't rain...this damn day is really...sigh..."
The gentle man said with relief:
"The trading market is preparing to build a water plant recently. If we really can't do it, we can rest in the trading market for a while. There will definitely be no shortage of water there."
"Oh? Really? Who did you listen to?" Brother Meng asked.
The gentle man thought for a while and said:
"Yesterday, didn't you know the boss of Team 7890? What is his name, Brother Crow?"
"So it's him, did he tell you?" Brother Meng asked.
"No, I heard what his men were talking about. It seems that water is being diverted from the Nanhuwan Reservoir in the southwest..."
"Nanhu Bay, that place is quite big! It's only twenty or thirty kilometers away, right? It's a huge project to divert water there from such a distance."
"It's not that far. The straight-line distance from Nanhu Bay to the trading market is less than ten kilometers."
"Um."
Brother Meng nodded, suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked:
"Since they want to build a water plant in the trading market, they will definitely have to dig ditches to divert the water there. A ten-kilometer ditch will be a huge project, and they will definitely need to recruit workers by then!"
"We can participate then! This kind of mission officially released by their Oil City is the most exciting. They all contribute points, and you can get a lot of points every day!"
"Yes! Brother Meng, that's what I want to tell you!" the gentle man nodded vigorously.
"Okay, after you enter the trading market, you immediately go to the task hall and wait there. Once they announce the task, you sign up immediately!" Brother Meng explained.
"Okay!" The gentle man nodded vigorously.
He was thinking about how to persuade his boss to give up searching for supplies during the journey today and stay at the trading market to rest for a few days and wait for any news from the trading market.
Once the latest engineering task is released, if they are quick enough, they will make a profit if they grab it.
It's all about making money and buying and selling. It's not like when they go out to search for supplies and encounter unlucky situations. After careful calculation, they still lose money.
The fault lies in the food they consume.
As long as you participate in the tasks released by Oil City, you will get food for free, and points will also be distributed.
This is delicious.
In the task hall of the trading bazaar, many tasks are released every day.
Some tasks have been left there all year round and no one has completed them, either because they are too difficult or too far away, or they are information tasks that can only be done by luck.
But there are also some tasks that will cause people to rush for them as soon as they are released.
Everyone wants to take over the infrastructure construction tasks of Oil City.
This kind of task is the most popular.
.......
When Hong Gongcao entered the trading market, he greeted Cao Le.
Cao Le ignored him.
The two people in the trading market that he hated the most were Zhang Rufeng from the Eighth Civil and Military Division and Hong Gongcao.
Both of them have one thing in common, that is, they are very thick-skinned.
The first time he met Zhang Rufeng, this guy seemed to be very familiar with him. He didn't like this kind of familiar guy.
The same goes for Hong Gongcao, the traitorous spy. He obviously doesn't know him well, but he calls himself Lao Cao these two times when he goes out, making it seem like they have a good relationship.
When Hong Gongcao saw that the guard captain Cao Le ignored him, he didn't feel embarrassed. He drove into Wengcheng and accepted routine inspections.
After he entered Wengcheng, he found that there seemed to be twice as many guards as usual today.
They were probably preparing to capture Jing Dakai and the others.
Thinking of this, Hong Gongcao thought silently: Don't blame me, I was forced to have no choice...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After entering the trading market, he was stopped by Dai Jiusheng and asked his men to drive away his SUV.
"Captain Dai, I should have nothing to do here. If I don't leave..."
"No, just watch from here. There is one less person to ask questions!"
"It's unfair. I did everything exactly as you told me!!"
"Stop talking!"
"Oh." Hong Gongcao squatted on the ground next to him with some grievance.
Jing Dagan and the others hadn't arrived yet, and he couldn't leave. He was so bored that he had to pick up a branch on the ground and draw circles to pass the time.
Five minutes later.
Jing Dagan followed the transport truck in front and arrived outside the gate of the trading market.
"You go this way! That's the exclusive passage for the transport convoy!" After Cao Le saw the truck that Jing Da was driving, he walked over and stopped it.
Jing Daqian was a little nervous when he saw Cao Le coming over, but he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.
"Ah, I'm sorry, it's my first time to come to the trading market and I don't quite understand the rules here." Jing Dagan said with a flattering smile.
"Well, let's line up here." Cao Le pointed to the survivor lane.
"Oh, thank you very much!"
After Cao Le finished speaking, he left.
There were three other vehicles in front of them, undergoing general inspection and entering one after another.
There are three ways to enter the trading market. When entering the gate, vehicles will be roughly checked for explosives.
The second step is to scan the person through the security inspection equipment. The security inspector will hold the device and scan along the surface of the subject's body. Once there is a metal object, it will make a sound vibration.
This set of equipment was brought from the airport to facilitate the entry and exit inspection of the survivors at the trading bazaar.
In addition, their belongings also need to go through security inspection equipment, and any items found to be problematic must be handed over for storage.
As for the third step, registration information and reporting, including item storage, etc. are all completed here.
The trading market does not lack electricity and can fully support this set of equipment.
After a general scan of their vehicles, those on the truck were called down to line up.
The gate guard asked Jing Daqian and others as usual:
"Do you carry any thermal weapons such as firearms and bombs?"
"There are two pistols and 13 rounds of ammunition."
"Take it out."
Jing Daqian quickly took it out. He followed Hong Gongcao's instructions and handed it over obediently.
If you don't call him out now, you'll be in trouble later when he gets checked out.
The guard took the two pistols and handed them to another man.
"What's the team number?"
"Our first time here?"
"first?"
"right."
"Well...after you get your number plate when you register, the gun and bullets will be affixed with your number plate. When you leave the trading market, the gun and bullets will be returned to you intact.
"
"Okay, thank you, thank you."
The guards were a little surprised to see Jing Daqian being so cooperative.
Generally, survivors who come here for the first time, especially those who bring firearms, will be a little hesitant when they turn in for the first time.
I didn't expect that the person in front of me was so cheerful and there was no need for him to waste his words.
"Well, drive the car forward. Those people behind are also with you, right?" the guard asked, pointing to the dozens of people behind.
"Yes, together."
"Well, no problem, let's go in."
"Okay." Jing Dagan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and climbed into the car.
