Li Yu woke up and heard some noise in the second half of the night last night. The noise was quite loud and woke him up.
After getting out of the car, I found that some zombies were making noise outside the isolation iron plate, and the noise was extremely loud.
In the end, it was Xiao Jun and the others who managed to kill them in time.
Shashi is indeed a big city. Even on the outskirts of the countryside, there are still so many zombies at night.
Li Yu washed his face in the toilet, got dressed, took out a pancake from the box, ate it and walked out of the car.
Outside the car, it was silent.
The sun has not yet come out, and the morning light is slightly dew.
The dense fog makes the city by the river look very blurry.
It was still a bit cool in the morning. Li Yu walked slowly to the door and saw A Hong who was still on duty, and had a brief chat.
5 o'clock in the morning
At 30 o'clock, more and more people woke up, and by six o'clock, basically everyone woke up.
Li Yu then ordered everyone to be ready to leave within fifteen minutes, and to leave on time at six fifteen.
Everyone is like machinery in a factory, operating at full strength and preparing for departure.
Or simply have some breakfast, or check the equipment and weapons
At 6:15, as the gate opened, a Unimog drove out from the gate, and about twenty cars headed towards the direction of Orange Island.
When they left, they deliberately closed the door. Although they would never come back here again, they still hoped that no more zombies would be allowed inside.
Drive all the way.
Li Yu slapped Ha Qie in the car.
I was thinking about the battle plan for later and what areas needed to be filled in.
Western Conference.
Gao Ru didn't sleep all night last night.
Thinking of the series of things that happened after arriving in the Western Conference yesterday evening, it gave him a headache. If he had known that he would encounter such things on this trip, he would never come here again even if he were killed.
Time goes back to yesterday evening when we arrived at the Western Alliance headquarters.
The road in the apocalypse is not easy to walk, not to mention the recent high temperature and a series of disasters, which have caused great damage to the road surface.
The road into Sichuan is bumpy.
When I finally arrived at the Western Alliance headquarters in the evening, I was stopped at the door and put through strict scrutiny.
Any time I came here before, there was never such strict inspection like now.
He was also acquainted with Zhuang Shaohua at the entrance, so he asked curiously: "Zhuang Shaohua, why is the headquarters checking so strictly today? And I think something seems to have happened to you?"
Zhuang Shaohua looked unhappy. He naturally knew the purpose of Gao Ru and their coming.
You have to take away food every time you come here. Can you welcome them?
The Western Alliance headquarters has never stopped supporting Orange Island, which makes many people in the Western Alliance unhappy.
But the absolute leader of the Western Alliance is Gan Xiong. If Gan Xiong wants to do this, others cannot and dare not oppose it.
Zhuang Shaohua didn't want to explain at first, but Gao Ru was Gan Xiong's son-in-law after all, and he didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.
So he reminded me: "When you go in to see Mr. Gan later, don't mention the food issue."
Gao Ru had a question mark on his face. Before he found his father-in-law, he was reminded by Zhuang Shaohua not to mention this matter.
But the main purpose of his coming here was to bring the grain back. Juzizhoutou had no production capacity. If he didn't bring the grain back, he would definitely be scolded by Gan Shang.
A scolding is a trivial matter. If I didn't bring any food back, what would they eat in the future?
So he asked with some horror: "Shaohua, tell me the truth, brother, what is going on?"
Zhuang Shaohua looked at Gao Ru's confused look and knew that if he didn't explain clearly, Gao Ru would definitely pester him with questions.
Everyone on the left and right were our own people, so we didn’t hide anything and said directly: "During the natural disaster a while ago, our vitality was severely damaged.
You know, there are actually several factions here, the Zhou family, the Liu family, the Qian family, and the Zhang family. Oh no, the Zhang family is gone.
After the natural disaster, we suffered heavy losses. Just two days ago, we found that half of the food in the granary had been stolen. The base is so big, and our people are watching at the gate and wall. No one can get out, let alone in that place.
There were so many zombies outside at that time that no one could be stupid enough to go out at that time.
Therefore, Mr. Gan suspected that it was those families who did it. Yesterday, Qianlong took people to search the Zhou family, but the Zhou family refused to let in.
Even the Liu family and the Qian family have joined forces. The combined forces of the three families cannot be underestimated. In addition, we suffered a lot from natural disasters before.
So, the situation is very tense now.”
Gao Ru's frown deepened as he listened. He didn't expect that under the continuous natural disasters, the losses at the headquarters would be so heavy.
He had been to the headquarters before. At that time, the Gan family basically dominated the sky with one hand, and the other factions did not dare to say a word.
I didn't expect that after the natural disaster, my father-in-law, who had always been strong, would actually become a little bit shy.
Their food in Juzizhoutou comes from their father-in-law's side. Now that those forces are behaving like this, it is actually equivalent to stealing their food.
The same hatred.
So he said angrily:
"Is there no follow-up? If I remember correctly, these forces have all defected here, and they are not strong. Why not just go in and take it back!"
Zhuang Shaohua was silent for a moment. Naturally, he was a little confused. Although their strength was severely damaged after the natural disaster, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse.
Compared to the other three forces, they are also crushed.
Even if those three forces unite, they can't defeat their own side.
Why he was reluctant to take action for so long puzzled him.
Facing Gao Ru's question, Zhuang Shaohua spread his hands and said:
"I don't know. Anyway, you're going to see Mr. Gan. Then you can ask him personally. To be honest, I'm quite curious too."
When Gao Ru heard what Zhuang Shaohua said, his face immediately fell. After such a thing happened, he still had to go to his father-in-law to talk about food support.
I cursed in my heart: If you really want to ask for food directly like this, you are asking for death. Damn it, it is just adding fuel to the fire.
It makes my balls hurt just thinking about it.
But they have already arrived. If we don’t bring the food back, we will be finished.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.
Let's wait for the situation here and see how my father-in-law solves the problem in the end. If we can get back half of the food, maybe we can get some food by selling ourselves badly or something.
After thinking about this, Gao Ru made up his mind not to discuss food support with his father-in-law for the time being.
Zhuang Shaohua sent two people to take Gao Ru and his party to the central residential area.
Vehicles are temporarily parked inside the fence.
After Gao Ru came in, he was a little frightened when he saw the sight of the headquarters foundation.
It seems that what Gao Ru said just now is true. The last natural disaster did cause considerable losses to the Western Alliance headquarters.
Until now, many roads are dusty, and some of the houses are collapsed, ruined and dilapidated.
So I asked the person who led the way, and I learned that in previous natural disasters, when the volcano erupted, earthquakes would be caused here. The earthquake was so strong that it even collapsed the east wall by dozens of meters. If it hadn't been for Qianlong at that time
They led a team to make emergency repairs, but there was no way they could withstand the subsequent wave of zombies.
Gao Ru was frightened, but when he thought of the tragic situation at the head of Orange Island, he suddenly understood.
On the Juzizhoutou side, the population dropped sharply from more than 300 people to just over 60 people, losing four-fifths of the population.
This does not include those refugees. If those refugees were included, there would be only one out of ten.
well.
Gao Ru sighed slightly.
The two people who led Gao Ru and the others did not go directly through the middle road, but took a detour and went around from the right.
Gao Ru was a little curious, so he asked: "Why don't you go through the middle road?"
One of them pointed over there and said: "Over there, we sent people to temporarily block it."
"Because of those factions?" Gao Ru asked.
"Yes, the people in those houses are now locked up."
"Then since we can block them, why not..."
Gao Ru was talking and then suddenly stopped talking.
He thought of his father-in-law, who would always make people confused when he did some things. But after the incident passed, he would find out how correct the decision made by his father-in-law Gan Xiong was.
Judging from the results, it also used the smallest amount of power and resources to solve the biggest problem.
The father-in-law must have his own considerations and reasons for doing this.
…
soon.
Gao Ru came to the small residential courtyard in the middle. There were many guards near the courtyard.
Even Lao Zhuang was standing at the entrance of the small courtyard, seeming to be waiting for Gao Ru.
In fact, when Gao Ru first came in, Xiaozhuang had already sent someone to notify Gan Xiong and the others.
So Gan Xiong naturally knew that Gao Ru and others were coming.
After what Zhuang Shaohua said, Gao Ru had not yet decided how to face his father-in-law.
But Lao Zhuang has already seen him.
"Mr. Gao, the boss and the others are waiting for you inside, please come with me." Lao Zhuang said to Gao Ru in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Although he didn't welcome them coming to Orange Island in his heart, they just asked for food every time they came, which was annoying.
"Okay, Lao Zhuang, how is your father-in-law feeling now?" Gao Ru leaned next to Lao Zhuang and asked in a low voice.
He didn't want to hit the muzzle of the gun, which would be uncomfortable when the powder keg was released.
"Not good." Two words popped out of Lao Zhuang's mouth.
He is not in a very good mood now. The atmosphere in the hall is simply worse than dozens of degrees below zero.
Gao Ru was choked when he heard these two words.
I lamented in my heart: I had known for a long time that nothing good would happen if I came here this time. To make matters worse, it seemed that I would have to face it sooner or later...
In the evening, the cool breeze blows.
Gao Ru's forehead and palms were sweating, and his whole body was trembling.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the hall.
Lao Zhuang knocked on the door, and Gao Ru swallowed nervously.
"Come in." There was no emotion or anger in Gan Xiong's deep and thick voice.
Two people enter.
There are several people sitting on the central sofa. Sitting in the middle is his father-in-law Gan Xiong. On the left and right sides are his brother-in-law Qian Long and brother-in-law Gan Hu. Sitting next to Qian Long is another person, Wayne.
This Wayne was the leader of a private security team originally established by Gan Xiong. Unlike Lao and Zhuang, this Wayne rarely appeared in front of the public before the end of the world.
"Boss, Gao Ru is here." Lao Zhuang bowed slightly and said to Gan Xiong who was sitting on the sofa in the middle with his head down and drinking tea.
"Dad, elder brother-in-law, second brother-in-law." Gao Ru stood next to the sofa and said with his head slightly lowered.
When the three of them faced Gao Ru, they had completely different reactions.
Qianlong nodded slightly towards Gao Ru, neither close nor distant. Although he was a little dissatisfied with this brother-in-law, he was his sister's husband after all, and he still had to do a good job on the surface as he was a wealthy man.
Gan Hu, who had a fiery personality and was straightforward, did not hide it. He glanced at Gao Ru, snorted disdainfully, and ignored Gao Ru again.
As for Gan Xiong, facing Gao Ru's greeting, he showed no movement or expression at all. He picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip. It was as if Gao Ru was nothing but air and did not exist at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
After Lao Zhuang finished speaking, he left the hall.
Wayne looked at Gao Ru and then at Gan Xiong. There seemed to be many ants under his butt, making him restless.
"Wayne." Gan Xiong suddenly said.
"Yeah, boss, please tell me." Wayne heard Gan Xiong calling him and answered instantly.
"Still do what I said before, surround them, don't let them come out, and don't let them go in. If they dare to rush out, be tougher and kill them if necessary.
If any of them want to have a conversation or want to pass on something, there is no need to report it if it is not said by the person in absolute power of the three families.
You should also make this clear to them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You can go over there and watch first, and report any situation at any time."
Wayne was relieved when he heard Gan Xiong's words. It was obvious that Gao Ru had something to do when he came over, and it wasn't anything good. The family was chatting, and he was a little embarrassed to be here as an outsider.
So he quickly stood up and said, "Okay, boss, I'll be there right away."
Then he bowed slightly, without squinting, and walked outside.
After leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door.
Gao Ru was anxious in his heart. After seeing Wayne go out, he thought it was almost time for his father-in-law to ask questions.
There is a knife left and right, sooner or later you have to say it, it is better to confess it sooner.
However, Gan Xiong did not satisfy him.
He slowly raised his head and asked Gan Hu: "You were originally asked to inspect the granary. If this happened, you are the most responsible.
It's been a few days now, how are the interrogations of the officers on duty watching the granary going?"
Facing Gan Xiong's inquiry, Gan Hu knew his father's temper very well. If he did something wrong and refused to admit it, the consequences would be very serious.
So he did not refute his father's blame and said: "I understand, it was the Qian family who coerced and lured the two officers on duty, and their family members were arrested by the Qian family.
It was the time when the zombie wave was at its most turbulent and dangerous. Most of us went up the wall to resist the zombies, so there were only two people in the warehouse.
The Qian family joined forces with the Zhou family to transport the grain.
From the descriptions of those two people, the Qian family and the Zhou family were ready to run away at any time. They filled up their cars with gas. Once the city was broken and the zombies came in and they completely lost control, they would run away immediately."
"Ha! Run? Childish! They haven't looked at the wall. In that case, they still want to run?" Gan Xiong said with a sneer.
Gan Hu also didn't quite understand. The Qian family knew about the serious situation at that time, and they also sent some people to volunteer for the wall.
When everyone is prospering and everyone is losing, why would they engage in such internal strife?
Why does internal strife become more serious when times are more critical?
"I still don't understand. If they do this, aren't they afraid of us settling the score later?" Gan Hu said doubtfully.
Gan Xiong glanced at his second son, and then said to Qian Long: "Explain it to him."
Qianlong, who has a steady personality, sighed and said with emotion: "The wall is about to be broken down, so naturally they won't care so much anymore.
Moreover, the greed of human nature is endless. In the base, they have always been vassals and suffered from us in every way.
Perhaps seeing how serious our losses were, they wanted to plunder the food again, thinking that even if the wall was secured later, they would be able to fight against us and seize control of the base from us.
Fortunately, although we suffered serious losses, it was still easy to crush them physically. In addition, they did not move all the food away. This gave us the initiative. But if they moved all the food away
, they hold food in their hands and threaten us. Once this happens, we will be very passive."
After Gan Hu heard this, he immediately understood.
There was a feeling of joy in my heart. If they had emptied all the food, they would hold gasoline and fire in their right hands and guns in their left hands.
People like them will be very passive. If they threaten to burn all the food with a fire, there will be no way.
The lifeblood is food.
Food, food again.
In this apocalypse, the importance of food and force are almost equal.
If you have food, you can threaten people with strong force, but if you have strong force, you can also threaten people with food.
Before the end of the world, there was a saying that was widely circulated: As my neighbor hoards food, I hoard guns, and my neighbor is my granary.
But what if before you kill your neighbor, your neighbor closes the door and the food is burned?
You can only take advantage of it, or hope that the food will not be burned much.
But now that they had powerful force and food, they took the initiative.
He was not completely restricted to death by the Qian family.
The reason why we haven't made a strong attack yet is simply that we want to take back half of the food, and we don't want to lose any more manpower.
Now they are struggling, surrounded by heavy troops, exerting pressure, and making them surrender voluntarily.
Gan Hu also slowly understood during Qian Long's explanation.
And Gao Ru also understood from their conversation.
But even though he understood, he still felt a little bitter.
Because until now, Gan Xiong has not paid any attention to him.
I have been standing all this time, my legs are numb, and I dare not sit down.
You can only listen to them obediently.
Gan Xiong naturally saw Gao Ru coming in, and he also knew the purpose of Gao Ru's coming, which must be to get food.
For Gan Xiong, he was naturally concerned about the safety of Gan Shang's son, but this time it was Gao Ru who came here, and with this expression after he came in, he did not take the initiative to talk about the situation.
That means that at least Gan Shang's safety is not a problem.
He was actually a little dissatisfied with this son-in-law. At first, his daughter only liked him and couldn't let him go, so he had no choice but to accept it, so naturally he wouldn't look good on him.
What's more, he is his father-in-law.
Shashi.
Li Yu and the others soon arrived near the head of Orange Island.
