Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 994 The Lurker (5000 words)
Big camphor tree base.

The construction project of the Fourth Outer City was restarted, and many people came out of the greenhouses in the First Outer City to join in the construction of the project.

Jackal and Uncle San drove a helicopter to Ming City, Fujian Province next door. After searching several times, they still could not find the people Chen Delong and the others mentioned.

After Chen Delong and the others returned to Da Zhangshu Base, Li Yu gave them a lot of points and food rewards for reminding the base of nuclear-radiated zombies.

Chen Delong's group has dropped sharply from dozens of people to only four people.

The points are divided evenly, and they have reached the standard of becoming non-staff members.

They have officially entered the assessment period. As long as they perform well during the assessment period, they will be able to officially become a non-staff member of the Da Zhangshu Base after a period of time.

This made Chen Delong and the others extremely happy.

So after resting in the base for two days, when their bodies were almost recovered, they heard that the base had started to build the fourth outer city project again, and they immediately signed up to participate.

on the construction site.

They moved out a lot of equipment and materials that had been put away before the rainstorm.

The entire construction site presented a lively atmosphere.

on the edge of the cliff.

Fusheng, Xu Zhen and others were walking over there with water pipes. The solar radiation was too strong now, and the water in the Shantang Reservoir at the base had to be reserved for daily use.

However, although there are zombies soaking in the lake under the cliff, there is no big problem in using it as water for the construction of the fourth outer city.

"Fu Sheng, have you put down the water pipe?" Lao Xie, who was standing on the cliff, shouted to Fu Sheng, who was standing on the edge of the lake.

Fusheng threw the water pipe into the lake, and then shouted to Lao Xie on the cliff: "Okay, plug it in and try it."

Lao Xie nodded, then picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Song Min at the wall: "The water pipe is put away, plug it in and try it."

"Okay." Song Min turned on the switch.

The lake side is closest to the wall, so the electricity is connected from this side.

soon.

The water pump starts.

The originally flat water pipes quickly swelled with water.

slam-la-

Ding Jiu, who was far away at the construction site of the Fourth Outer City, saw water finally coming out of the water pipe. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Lao Xie and the others: "Lao Xie, there is water coming out."

Lao Xie clapped his hands, fixed the water pipe, and then shouted to Fusheng below: "It's okay, Fusheng, come up."

"Yeah." Fusheng nodded and walked up.

After everyone left, the zombies under the lake slowly floated on the lake. They heard the noise of the water pump and swam over there.

outside the oil city.

A young man was lying in a patch of grass less than two kilometers outside the city.

Secretly watching the situation in Oil City.

He is very young and not very experienced, and he is different from the people who secretly saw Dongtai and Chen Er's transactions before.

As he approached, he hid his figure and was seen by Xiao He who was standing on the high wall.

So I talked to Dongtai about this matter, and Dongtai asked him to control the drone and go over to take a look.

The drone lifted off to an altitude of several hundred meters and flew in the direction of the boy.

the other side.

Suddenly, Xiaoyuan saw a drone flying down from the sky.

I was startled and ran back quickly.

Dongtai frowned slightly as he looked at the picture displayed on the drone.

Xiao He next to him asked: "Dongtai, should we catch up? There must be something wrong with this person approaching us."

Dongtai looked at the picture in the drone and said, "Lower the drone a little more and see what this person looks like."

"it is good."

The drone gradually lowered to a height of only ten meters away from the boy, and now Xiaoyuan's figure was finally visible.

Xiao He smiled and said: "It's a child. I don't know where he came from."

Dongtai frowned, remembering the feeling that something was wrong in his heart when he was trading outside not long ago.

So he said: "Be careful, sail the boat for ten thousand years. When did you discover this child?"

"Ah? It was just now. Is there any problem? What should a child be afraid of? He is probably just passing by. Come and have a look out of curiosity." Xiao He said.

Dongtai watched the child running towards the woods. It would be difficult to catch him, so he nodded and said: "Okay, let him go, but the battalion commander is right, our drone must be restored." The previous model was 24-hour patrol.”

"Don't get used to not patrolling with drones just because of a heavy rain, and then you will no longer patrol. Here is the order. From today on, we will resume the previous 24-hour drone patrol mode around Oil City."

Xiao He felt that there was some trouble and said: "I have been using this method for the past few months and I haven't found any problems."

Dongtai couldn't help but scolded: "It's too far from the base. If something happens, we will be in trouble. Just tell me what you said. If the battalion commander or Mr. Li hears it, you will definitely not get any good results. .”

"Okay, then I'll talk to the brothers later and make a duty list."

"Yeah." Dongtai nodded.

However, it was said that after Xiao Yuan hurriedly ran into the woods, he was frightened and feared that people from the oil city would come out to catch him, so he deliberately ran towards some small roads.

After running for a full hour, he dared to look back at the sky.

The drone is gone.

"Whoohoo-"

He gasped heavily.

He thought to himself: Oil City is so defensive. He was discovered before he even entered Oil City.

When he raised his head, he suddenly realized that he was lost.

He must return to the expedition.

First, he didn't bring any food with him when he came out. If he didn't go back, he wouldn't be able to last long.

Secondly, he came to the south this time to complete the mission, and then he could get the remaining rewards when he went back. Moreover, if he ran back by himself, if someone from the expedition team complained, it wouldn't matter to him, but his sister would be hurt. .

We have to find a way back quickly.

The young man raised his cloak, and then used the shadow of the cloak to carefully examine the surrounding situation.

"I just ran east, so if I go back, I should go northwest. Go that way." The young man thought to himself.

Then, he ran northwest.

As he ran, he was thinking about something else.

How should I explain Sledgehammer's death to them?

Especially that fierce guy!
He said he was killed by people from Oil City while he was observing?
This is a good idea, blaming Sledgehammer's death on Oil City.

However, when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. If Sledgehammer was killed by people from Oil City, it would not be easy for others to believe him if he ran back by himself.

After all, Sledgehammer went there with him and came back by himself.

It doesn't make sense to say that Sledgehammer is stronger than him.

Ok?
Have it.

He remembered that before departure, Sledgehammer had wanted to take away the package. Brother Meng and the others had suspected that Sledgehammer wanted to sneak away and not participate in the mission.

Then just tell Brother Meng and the others that the sledgehammer left you and ran away, and you don’t know where the sledgehammer went.

This explanation seems more believable than being killed by Oil City and then running back.

After all, Sledgehammer had this motive, and Brother Meng and the others also guessed this, so they didn't give them their packages.

As for why the sledgehammer didn't even want the package containing the grain, that's up to Brother Meng and the others to think about.

Calm down!

He began to recite silently in his heart, then brainwashed himself, convinced himself to take him to Sledgehammer and ran away secretly. Then he went to Oil City alone to observe, and was discovered by a drone.

He began to organize his words and first convinced himself that it was true.

running.

The sun keeps setting.

After running for nearly an hour, he finally found the main road back.

Looking at the somewhat familiar road, he breathed a sigh of relief.Then I adjusted my mood.

10 minute later.

He saw the expedition convoy under a green shade.

In the convoy.

Leopard saw Xiao Yuan walking towards them, and quickly said to Brother Meng in the car:

"Brother Meng, you're back, but it seems like you're the only one back."

Brother Meng got off the car, looked at Xiao Yuan walking towards them, frowned, and thought to himself: Could it be that the grandson of Sledgehammer really ran away?This guy doesn't want food anymore?What a coward.

soon.

The young man walked up to Brother Meng and the others.

"Where's that Sledgehammer guy? Why are you back alone?" Brother Meng looked at Xiaoyuan with interrogating eyes.

Xiaoyuan calmed down and replied with the words he had practiced countless times on the road:

"Sledgehammer ran away. Just when he was approaching the oil city, he kept mumbling, what's the big deal, I'm quitting, and then he ran to the west. I couldn't stop him."

"Huh?" Brother Meng frowned.

Looking at Xiao Yuan with a critical eye, this young man is the weakest person in their expedition team. This sledgehammer usually bullies him many times.

Was this kid killed out of spite?
It's impossible. This is a child after all. No matter how weak the sledgehammer is, he can't be killed by him.

After ruling out this possibility, there is no reason for Sledgehammer not to come back. His food is still here.

Could it be that this grandson really ran away?
The more Brother Meng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

So he cursed: "This turtle grandson, when we return to the Northern Federation, I will definitely kill him."

The leopard next to him said: "I guess he didn't plan to return to the Federation after he left."

"It's unlucky, it's really unlucky. Next time I do something like this, I have to tell Mr. Diao that I want to choose someone myself. Everyone is so unreliable. The thing hasn't even been done yet. One of them ran away. What the hell? There’s a kid in the queue. Damn it.”

After venting his anger, Brother Meng looked at Xiaoyuan and asked:

"Did you find anything in that oil city? Can you sneak in?"

Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Brother Meng ask this question.

This means that Brother Meng believed what he said about Sledgehammer's escape.

So he said truthfully: "I just approached the Oil City, and I was still almost two kilometers away from there, when I was discovered by their people, and then they sent a drone to fly over, and then chased me.

If I hadn't run fast enough, I would have been captured by them. "

"Moreover, the area around the oil city should have been cleaned up. Within two kilometers of the oil city, there are basically no places to hide one's body. They can easily spot the observers on the wall."

Brother Meng hit his head with a headache and said speechlessly:

"What the hell, there are drones, and the defenses are so strict, how can we find out their details? Damn it, I knew this job was not going to be easy."

Just when he was at a loss, the leopard next to him suddenly said:
"Brother Meng, there is actually a way. If we want to thoroughly understand their situation, we can't do it hard. We can only use soft methods and find ways to sneak in."

Brother Meng waved his hand and said:

"It's impossible. Look at our group, none of them look like good people. Will they really let us in?"

Leopard cursed in his heart, just say you, don't take me with you.

But still replied:

"Let's try. If we don't try, we won't learn anything. We can't learn any information just by looking outside. Only by going in can we understand what Diao Ye and the others want."

Brother Meng glanced around the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads like a shrunken turtle.

Facing forces that they didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to run over rashly. If those people were vicious, it was very possible to kill them directly.

They don't want to stand out.

"Leopard, why don't you go?" Brother Meng looked at Leopard and said.

"Ahem, I'm not quite suitable. In fact, there is one of the most suitable candidates among us. They may be wary of you, Brother Meng, but they may not be so wary of children like Xiaoyuan. .Are you right?"

Brother Meng's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said:
"It makes sense. If we send our weakest child, they probably won't think he is a spy. That's okay."

Leopard continued: "Yes, it is the lowest risk for him to go. Xiaoyuan is so small a threat. They will definitely relax their vigilance. Then they will just make up a reason and then say that they have escaped and want to beg them to take them in." Give me a chance to survive.”

The other people in the surrounding expedition team became excited when they heard what they said. After all, they didn't need to go.

"Yes, you can do this to make the child's life experience more tragic. His parents and family were all killed by zombies, and then he was the only one wandering around, and he just happened to walk nearby."

"Hehe, you can even add today's experience to it. Just say that you suddenly saw a drone and ran away in fear, but you were really desperate. Then you went there again, and then you took the initiative to be caught. Then you tell the tragic story. indefinite."

Leopard listened to what they said over there, and suddenly said to Brother Meng: "Brother Meng, there is only one problem now, and that is what if this kid can't bear the pressure and betrays us?" manage?"

Brother Meng's eyes suddenly turned cold, he looked at Xiaoyuan and said, "Will you betray us? I know you have a sister in the Federation. You have to think about the consequences of betraying us. If the mission cannot be completed because of you, then Diao You know my methods.

Think about your sister, you don’t want to hurt your sister because of you, right? "

Xiaoyuan listened to the plan they had just made to let him sneak in again, without even asking for his opinion.

After all, he is the weakest person in the team and has no say at all.

Ha ha!

At this time, Xiaoyuan was filled with anger when he heard Brother Meng's threat.

There is one more person on the blacklist in my heart.

However, if they don't go, they will definitely force themselves to go, and there is no point in struggling.

Moreover, although what Brother Meng said just now was unpleasant, it did capture his weakness.

He wants to go to Oil City and lurk inside without being discovered. If he is discovered, he cannot betray her, otherwise his sister will be in danger.

This is an extremely difficult task, and if you don't do it well, you might die in it.

They didn't know the people of Oil City at all.

It's like opening a blind box, you don't know what's inside.

I can only take a gamble.

"Did you hear that?" Brother Meng suddenly raised his voice and asked.

There was a threat in his tone.

Xiaoyuan clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, took a deep breath and replied, "I'll go, but I have one condition."

"Conditions? Hahaha, just go if you are told. How come there are so many conditions!?" Brother Meng mocked.

At this time, Leopard said in Brother Meng's ear: "Let's see what his conditions are first. If he wants something, just agree to it for the time being. Anyway, we agree to it, and we won't regret it later."

Hearing what Leopard said, Brother Meng felt that it made sense.

After all, children are children, and they agreed to one condition.

These days, promises are bullshit and what you get is the last word.

So he said to Xiaoyuan: "Okay, what are the conditions?"

Xiaoyuan said: "If the mission is completed, I will get twice the reward when I return! And when I come back from Oil City, the food from Sledgehammer will be mine!"

Brother Meng said angrily: "You are still young, but you have a big appetite."

"What?" Brother Meng saw the leopard and pulled him.

Only then did Brother Meng react and pretended to be embarrassed.

He opened his mouth and said: "Although the condition you proposed is very difficult, my brother Meng has always been loyal to his brothers. As long as you complete the task, I will definitely satisfy you with every spit and nail."

After Xiaoyuan heard Brother Meng's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, you agreed, so many people present heard it."

In his opinion, after all, Brother Meng is considered a well-known figure in the outer wall of the Northern Federation. Some of the people on this expedition team are following Brother Meng, but there are also some who came in temporarily. people.

That fierce guy promised himself in front of so many people, but if he failed to do so, his credibility would be greatly affected.

Leopard saw that they had finished chatting, so he jumped in and said:

"Brother Meng, the sun is going down. We have to hide quickly. It may be too late if it is later."

Brother Meng turned around and said, "Didn't I ask Xiaosong to find a place? Xiaosong, have you found the place?"

"We found it, Brother Meng. It's five kilometers behind, not far away. Shall we go there now?"

"Let's go." Brother Meng said to everyone.

(Ask for a monthly pass.)
