The whirlpool of public opinion on the Internet has not affected these people in the wilderness mountainous area for the time being. Ronan and his party have stayed in the dock yard for a long time. If they want to go to the core area of Yingtou Field to take a look, they must
Pick up the pace.
After all, Deng Chun is still capable, and his little show-off before seemed to be just the short-term emotional behavior of a young man. Now that he has given in, his capable and sophisticated side has emerged again.
He had arranged two off-road vehicles early and had already driven into the yard and parked them in the open space in front of the warehouse for a group of people to visit for transportation.
He also volunteered to be the driver himself and took Ronan and his party to the high ground of Eagle Head Field. He claimed that he also managed a store up there, specializing in bartering with explorers and mercenaries who entered the mountains, and accumulated a lot of money.
For special materials, you can just ask Ronan for advice.
Not counting the bodyguards and drivers who were already waiting at the high ground, there were seven people in Ronan's group who arrived by pontoon boat, and two off-road vehicles were enough.
Fries is the person in charge of the "security staff", which in this case is also Ronan's secretary, and is responsible for the arrangements.
Deng Chun drove the first car as the temporary driver, Fries took the passenger seat, and Ronan and Wen Huilan sat in the back seat.
The second car was a little more crowded, with four people seated not counting the driver, so Zhao Xi simply volunteered and took the driver's seat.
Long Qi grabbed the co-pilot, and Liu Fengming could only sit in the back row with the tiger, who was so negative at the moment.
Zhao Xi knew that Long Qi was broadcasting live, and he didn't want to get into the same car with him, but Boss Fu arranged it like this, and he had no choice. Before he even got in the car, he made up his mind to be a mute driver, and he didn't want to be with Long Qi no matter what.
Seven chat.
The problem is, this kind of thing is completely out of your control.
Just a few steps after the car started, Long Qi motioned for him to look outside: "Be careful, don't hit anyone."
Long Qi was telling the truth. At this time, there was a loading truck delivering materials to the yard. They were heavy goods that had just been unloaded from the dock. When entering the gate, there were some procedures to go through, and half of the road was blocked. In addition,
People were coming and going, coming in and out, it seemed a bit chaotic...
But it's not to the point of hitting someone.
Don't think I don't know, you are talking to me and adding material to the live broadcast!
Zhao Xi shut his mouth and followed the car in front. He watched "Car No. 1" and the delivery vehicle pass by each other. He turned left after exiting the gate and went out smoothly. He followed suit.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a figure jumped out of the middle of the transport vehicle, and without any effort, it hit the front of the vehicle.
"Dry!"
Fortunately, Zhao Xi is also a burner, and his reaction ability is far beyond that of ordinary people. As soon as the warning light of the car's anti-collision warning system came on, he had already decisively stopped, and his reaction was several milliseconds faster than the system.
Fortunately, the speed of the vehicle was not fast, and the brake pads of the off-road vehicle were still strong, so there was no real collision. The people on the vehicle also had amazing balance skills, and they eliminated the inertia of the forward thrust in time, so that they would not be particularly embarrassed.
As for the figure who was almost rolled under the car, his reaction was not slow either. He propped up the front of the car with his elbows, staggered back, and stood still dangerously.
"What's going on!" Zhao Xi's lingering fear still lingered, and he was a little irritable.
Long Qi was still making sarcastic remarks: "Congratulations, you didn't lie down on the spot. It doesn't look like you were in trouble."
"Isn't it because he's so aggressive?"
Long Qi glanced to the side: "Maybe he felt that the transport vehicle was too much of a hindrance, so he didn't want to go in a big circle, so he took a shortcut and jumped over from the middle connection. It was a step slower than 'Car No. 1', just in time for you to catch up."
"
After a pause, Long Qi said again: "Do you think this person looks familiar?"
Only then did Zhao Xi have the opportunity to match what he saw in his eyes with what he remembered:
It sure looks familiar.
At this time, he had already forgotten about not talking to Long Qi, and patted the steering wheel: "That old patrolman! He also asked our boat to go to the inner bay... It was him just now, looking in at the gate."
"I don't know that."
Zhao Xi and Long Qi were chatting, and their moods also calmed down. But when there was such a situation at the gate, the management staff rushed up and dragged the old man back. Looking at the former's twisted face, it was obvious that he was already angry, and he was afraid that
As soon as he got out of the sight of Long Qi and others, he would curse loudly and give the old man a good look.
The problem was that the old man obviously had a temper. He didn't even wait until he was "out of sight". He pushed hard on the manager's chest, broke free of the restraints, and walked out angrily without saying much.
When passing in front of the off-road vehicle, he turned sideways and nodded in the direction of the cockpit. This was probably an apology?
That's right.
The management staff jumped in anger, but Long Qi and his friends had their car here, so it was not easy for them to get angry, so they could only come over by themselves, knock on the car window, and apologize profusely.
"It doesn't matter, it's fine that we didn't hit each other." Long Qi, the co-pilot, smoothed things over for the driver. "This uncle is a warm-hearted man. Maybe there is something urgent. He reminded us at the dock just now."
After dealing with the management staff, Long Qi closed the car window and the car finally drove away. After running for dozens of meters, he said in a confused manner:
"Prosthetic limbs."
Zhao Xi hummed, he also saw it just now.
When the old man on patrol pushed the manager away, his right hand and the small half of his forearm were all prosthetic limbs, and they were a relatively rough, non-bionic type, otherwise it would not have been obvious at a glance.
"I guess my family background is not very good." Long Qi sighed with emotion, and turned to ask Liu Fengming, "Hucheng's gene modulation and cell regeneration technology is so advanced, is the cost of regenerating amputated limbs still very high?"
Liu Fengming simply replied: "I don't know in Huacheng. The cost of trauma treatment in Huaicheng is two to three years' salary."
"It's similar to Xia Cheng. It's not too expensive...compared to the disability."
"He will die if he does it."
The one who interrupted was actually the always depressed Tiger.
Tiger spoke, and the others in the car were surprised.
Long Qi straightened his back, half turned around, and said cautiously: "What do you mean?"
"He is a 'dirty man' to a very serious degree. He probably survived the aberration infection by luck, and his gene expression has been messed up. If the limb regeneration technique is used, it will accelerate the cell disease in his body. It is better to give him a direct injection."
He took a good shot."
After a pause, the tiger added: "It's not bad to give him a shot now. Maybe he will thank you."
"Ahem, live broadcast Tiger, I understand, I understand."
Long Qi continued to engage in his "stand-up comedy" in the live broadcast room, as if he was still very popular: "So fellow veterans, when you do certain things, you can first consider the consequences, especially those related to the body.
It’s not fun, it’s fun, and there’s no chance of regret.”
The tiger smacked his lips and leaned back with his skinny torso: "What's the use of being secretive when you talk? It's just to make it clear that these idiots in the world only care about the moment and don't care about the future."
"Goodbye, tiger..."
Long Qi wanted to force the conclusion, but couldn't stop the tiger's mouth.
“It’s good to be happy for a moment, to be comfortable for a moment, to be alive for a moment… to regret this life for that moment, that’s how a living person can be.
"But in the end, he inevitably has to hope for supernatural miracles in the world, so that he can pray to gods and worship Buddha, walk on elbows and knees, and even look servile in an attempt to save him. At that time, wanting to change his life is actually not a temporary need?
"So, there is no cure."
Long Qi complained in his mind: Are you talking about yourself? You seem to be transparent, but I don’t see you jumping out of the car.
Not only did the tiger not jump out of the car, but he closed his eyes and calmed down until the off-road vehicle reached the high ground of Yingtou Field.
This short journey lasted only a few minutes. Due to the delay at the gate of the yard, when Long Qi and others arrived, Ronan and others had already got off the car and were looking around in the small square on the highland side.
When you look at the buildings on the highland side from the river, coupled with Frith's explanation, they have a sense of vicissitudes of life. Now that you're on site, you can't actually see the vicissitudes of things, it's mainly just messy.
Probably the people who settled in this supply station never thought about living here for a long time. Except for the three or five buildings surrounding the small square, at first glance they are brick-concrete houses built many years ago, which have been repaired and continued to be used.
Others are camping tents, simple container houses, etc., which feel not as tidy as the storage yard below.
Deng Chun was a landowner, so he naturally shouldered the responsibility of introduction. He was very eloquent, and he was able to explain something in such a refugee camp-like place:
"The Yingtou Field is named after the north end of the river bank on the west side hooks back, resembling an eagle's head. In the past few years, the water level has been rising, the river beach has shrunk, and the 'Eagle Head' has been washed away. Mr. Luo, when you came, you should have come from this place.
Pass through the eagle's neck.
"In a few years, in addition to the highland where we are, the east side, that is, the road we came up from, may also be cut off, the river will be straightened, and Yingtou Field will become Yingtou Island.
"In fact, 'cutting off a bend and making it straight' has already happened once. The road we came up on was used as a river decades ago. Later, the mudslide washed down and blocked it, and it was silted up for a few years, so it was simply a waste of time.
The road has been built. When our car came up, did you feel that the ground was quite soft?"
Ronan nodded slightly and looked around, seeming to be somewhat interested.
Fries still has memories from those days, and he doesn't like this place no matter what he thinks: "The novice villages in the wilderness for ten days are better than this one. Maybe we can learn from it and have more life."
Deng Chun explained a few words: "After all, it is a wilderness area. Sometimes when Lord Baifeng sneezes, it will inevitably shake. It is easier. If something unexpected happens and you abandon the pots and jars, just leave and put your life first."
Fries said confidently: "When it was a settlement in the past, there were more pots and pans, but it was not so chaotic."
Deng Chun just pretended not to hear, and continued to add: "Here in Hucheng, the black flood is also very troublesome.
"There are three floods in big rivers, spring flood, summer flood and autumn flood, which last for half a year, during which a 'black flood' can break out at any time. As the saying goes, when big rivers are filled with water, small rivers are full, and when big rivers are flooded, small rivers are flooded. Don't look at the tributaries of the mountain streams in front of you. They are silted here and there.
The border is blocked, making it difficult for larger boats to pass. When it comes to the black flood season, everyone is a disaster."
"Black news?" Ronan looked at Wen Huilan.
The latter explained in due course: "Lake City is in danger of the river. Once it enters the flood season, floods occur frequently, and even more abnormal types become restless and attack. They form groups in the flood, dense and dense, and come down the river from the upper reaches, which almost makes the river water stained.
, is called the ‘Black Flood’.”
"Oh, it means the same thing as 'Running Tide' and 'Bleeding Season'."
"That's right."
Deng Chun continued to add: "The main flood season in Lake City is from June to August, and it is still in the flood season. There is already a barrier lake in the lower reaches of the river. With Lord Baifeng's blessing this year, the rainfall is average, and the 'bleeding season' in the upper reaches is also short.
Even if there is a black flood, it should be fine."
When Frith saw Zhao Xi and others coming over, he didn't want to say anything more. Hearing Deng Chun say "Baifeng Lord" again, he grinned in amusement: "Baifeng Lord can barely be counted as being in the lower reaches of Lake City. He doesn't care about things upstream.
"It's been more than ten years. Has the bank defense project on the upper river been completed? You can't defend the upper river. The land on the eastern plain that has been cultivated for thousands of years has turned into a swamp. Just because there are plantation buildings, everything cannot be done.
What kind of abnormal ecological wetland is this? I'm surprised. The Golden Triangle side is not strong enough, and it has to destroy the eastern plain side. Why does Lake City like to be attacked from both sides... The word "nursing land" is definitely useless.
Wrong, I learned it in Hucheng."
Zhao Xi, who had just come over, could only laugh dryly.
Deng Chun laughed: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you are very familiar with Lake City."
Wen Huilan introduced in due course: "Lieutenant Colonel Frith once served in Lake City."
"Field Army, the defense area is here." Fries was lukewarm and put aside the relationship.
"That should be the movement of defense in 1983." Deng Chun said without saying the number, but he obviously already knew which unit it was.
Now Fries was somewhat impressed by him: "How old were you at that time?"
