Longmen Memoirs

Just like what most people would do when faced with difficulties, join a group to stay warm.

They are the largest and only infected force in the city, so to speak, but in fact they are far less majestic than they appear on the surface.

Grava is a small border town. It is neither a major border city to Syracuse nor a large trade node. Although it is a small town, it is actually a large and old land mobile platform. The only police force in the small town is the year-round police force. Agency and two small families.

Because of its remote geographical location and being on the border of Syracuse, it did not have much usable value, so it was not favored by any large family forces.

In the past, no powerful force intervened, and life in the town was very peaceful, so the situation of the infected was relatively better, but that was only relatively speaking. With the influx of external family forces, the original balance in the small town was shaken. After breaking through, the two small local families also found vassals of larger family forces. It was naturally more difficult for the infected people who had had many conflicts with them to live in this small border town.

Chapter 13 Chen Mo’s principles of life

According to Cao Zhi, there are two small local family forces in the small city of Grava, Ogman and Troka. Ingrava is located on the border, so the largest and only business here is Letania's trade with Syracuse. The ancient bilateral smuggling trade.

The two families are equally powerful and have a lot of friction in this business. They both want to drive each other out of the city so that they can occupy the interface of this smuggling trade line alone. Grava's military and police are not strong, so they control the city. The main strength is these two family forces.

Similar to the attitude of infected people in most regions and national teams, the situation of infected people in Grava is not very good. Three years ago, Cao Zhi led people from Syracuse to this city, and they gradually brought people into the city. The infected people gathered together, but because of this, they had to have disputes and conflicts with the two families.

To this day, the infected have barely gained a foothold in Grava. They do not want to seize private trade routes, and the two families are not willing to take the risk of being taken advantage of by the other party and expend efforts to clear them. The only time the two sides decided to join forces They were kicked out, but because of the distrust between the two sides, they completely gained a place in this small town.

But now the situation is different. People from two medium-sized families poured into Grava and discovered the smuggling network. The two families also had the idea of ​​​​vassalage. The original balance of forces in the small town was broken, and the infected people were unable to do so because of their identities. Being accepted by any family, the only thing waiting for them is to be expelled by the two growing families.

"You don't want to sit back and wait for death?"

Chen Mo leaned against the basement wall with his arms folded, looking at Cao Zhi who was sitting on a chair that could barely be called a reception room.

With mottled and peeling walls, flickering old-fashioned electric lights, and exposed rusty pipes, this is the poorest area of ​​​​the city. It will not be long before it is abandoned, but it is a place where the infected people collectively inhabit.

"We have no other choice. When the people of O'Gorman and Troca are freed up, and with the manpower of those two families, we have no room to fight back. In fact, the reason why we can persist until now is not because of how powerful we are. , but there are many conflicts between the two families."

"You are honest." Chen Mo nodded.

"There's nothing you can do about it if you're not honest. It's a clear truth."

Cao Zhi spread his hands.

"So, you took such a big risk to save us, what do you want me to do?"

"I have discussed with the people here, and we are going to leave Grava and head towards Letania." Cao Zhi said.

"Letania's attitude towards infected people is not much better than Syracuse." Chen Mo replied.

"So our goal is not Laitania, we want to go through Laitania to Colombia. I heard before that Colombia does not reject infected people, and is even willing to provide land to infected people if they participate in pioneering."

"Pioneering wasteland, hey, nothing is so cheap in the world." Chen Mo said.

"But at least it's a way out." Cao Zhi replied. "For us, it's just a thought."

"Then you have to cross two or three national borders. This road is not easy to walk. How do you plan to get on the road?"

"Actually, we had this idea before you guys came." Cao Zhi stood up and looked at Chen Mo: "The O'Gorman and Troca families have made a lot of money from this smuggling line business in the past few years. Little money. A week ago, we got news that the stronghold warehouses of the two families have stocked a lot of various types of materials. There are even a small number of decommissioned weapons and equipment smuggled and sold by the Leitanian military. If we can get these , our journey will be much easier."

"You want to attack their stronghold?"

"No, we can't do it. We couldn't do it originally. Even if we are lucky enough to succeed in the attack, when they come to their senses, we will be stuck in the city and unable to get out of the city." Cao Zhi said: "My men There are a total of 250 infected people, young and old. It is estimated that there are no more than 200 people who can barely fight without being frightened. There are more than [-] people in those two families combined, and their equipment is better than ours. , the physical condition is not comparable to ours."

"Well, go on..."

"We have a secret passage in the city that leads outside the city. Two families also have similar passages below the city." He said: "My plan is to attack one of the families' stronghold and then take away the Things, pull back and evacuate out of the city through the secret passage."

"What's my position?"

"People from both families are cooperating with outside families to hunt for you. You have not left this city, so I hope you can attract the people in the stronghold to the location of the other family. Once the people from one of the families know about you On the other side, they will definitely not give up this opportunity to take credit," he said.

"And you can take advantage of this opportunity to get what you want at the lowest cost." Chen Mo excused himself.

Cao Zhi did not refute.

"Yes, this is very dangerous. For you to attract people from the two families, trigger a conflict between them, and allow us to succeed successfully. Since you can escape all the way until now, I think you should be very confident, at least with your skills. I’ve seen it before.”

He said it very calmly, and Chen Mo couldn't help but think about whether what he just said was a small test of Chen Mo. At least he was a cautious person.

"So you just deliberately revealed to me that the way out of the city is to wait for me here." Chen Mo asked.

"Your wife's injury will not heal for a while. Brother Chen, I don't mean to coerce you. I just want to say that our goals are actually the same. I can take you out of the city and distribute the supplies we got to you. One share, but only if we can get out alive."

Cao Zhi said: "It is much more difficult to survive in the wilderness than in the city. I don't want my brother to die in the wilderness after leaving the city, so if we cooperate, we have a higher chance of survival, which is beneficial to both parties."

"It does make sense." Chen Mo nodded: "But how can I trust you? I believe you won't sell me after I pass. My wife's injury is indeed serious. If you leave her in the city, she and I will There is no way to survive."

"Regarding this, I will take a few brothers to act with you. If you are worried, you can kill us at any time." Cao Zhi said calmly: "In this case, what problem does Brother Chen have?"

He reached out to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked at his palm without any movement.

"last question."

"please say."

"How confident are you? It's not that I can't trust you, but that your plan is too hasty. How can you be sure that all your people have the same idea as you? You also said that in fact, you can only fight with no more than 50 people." You should know better than me what it means to people, women, children, old and young, to travel long distances out of the city."

"I'm not sure." Cao Zhi said, "But we have no other way to go."

There are too many of them. When the Grava incident is over, their situation will be even more difficult than before. The balance of the city will be broken, and they will no longer have a foothold.

Young people have young people's ideas, and are often impulsive, passionate, and desperate. But the elderly and children, but different people, do not want to fight just because they become infected. They still have families and worries.

Chen Mo could tell that Cao Zhi himself was not sure. Maybe they had discussed it before, and maybe not everyone agreed with this discussion, but in fact, as he said, they had no other way out. Going out of town makes no difference to them.

Infected people, once they become infected, there are many things they can no longer decide on their own.

Chen Mo held his hand.

"Then let's leave it like this for the time being." He said, separated his hands, and Chen Mo looked at Cao Zhi: "However, if you can trust me, you can still go to Kazdale."

"Kazdel?"

"Kazdare, the war in Kazdare is over. The Sakaz are rebuilding their country. Their leader. I met several Sakaz who returned to Kazdare before. According to them, Kazdare is now It does not exclude foreign infected people. Maybe the treatment after passing will not be much better than in Colombia, but at least it is a way out, and Kazdare is not far from Syracuse. You can save a lot of distance and more people can survive. "Chen Mo said.

Cao Zhi did not express his position.

"Brother Chen, are you sure?"

"No, we won't know until we get there. I'm just making a suggestion." Chen Mo said, "If you think it's too far to go to Colombia and have nowhere to go, you might as well give it a try."

"..."

Cao Zhi was silent for a few seconds.

"Whether it's true or not, thank you anyway."

"Don't say anything, just a few words." Chen Mo waved his hand and asked, "When are you going to take action?"

"The sooner the better."

"I want to see my wife first."

"no problem."

Chen Mo saw Texas. She was lying in a coma on the bed, her breathing was weak, and her wounds had been sutured. The doctor named Dorian said that her condition was still dangerous. The infected people lacked too much medical equipment, so they could only She had to get through it on her own.

He said that the medical conditions in this small town were so poor that even if he rushed to the hospital at this time, the situation would not be much better than here.

As for the facts, whether it was Cao Zhi's instruction and the doctor's intentions, Chen Mo didn't need to know too clearly.

A little confusion is sometimes a good thing.

Chen Mo just watched from the outside.

Cao Zhi said that Texas would first go out of the city with some of the infected people to wait for them. Chen Mo understood that in fact, Texas was an invisible hostage. Just like Cao Zhi himself, the prerequisite for cooperation has never been trust, but mutual trust. Containment, he didn't say it so directly, but Chen Mo understood, and he also understood that sending Texas out of the city was indeed the best result.

Chen Mo didn't doubt whether Cao Zhi saw the identity of Texas' so-called wife. This middle-aged man was indeed capable of taking infected people to occupy a place in this city, but that's how people are. Some people know it well. You don’t need to explain things too clearly, and if you don’t understand, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.

If you are not a relative or an acquaintance, being cautious is often the best, most convenient and effective way to do things when you are away from home.

If Dexian unfortunately couldn't survive and died here, Chen Mo could only find a place with good feng shui to bury her as he said, as a sign of their acquaintance along the way.

Maybe he is also a cold person, but the relationship between him and this girl is not worth risking everything for Texas. In fact, he does not have to choose to cooperate with these infected people. If he wants, he can completely All the pursuing soldiers in this city were killed without much effort or time.

But he didn't.

After leaving Kazdel, his spells have become a burden. He is even sure to use spells to wipe this Grava off the map, but then the backlash of the spells will take half of his life. After that, After clearing the city of enemies, his whereabouts would not be hidden for long, and then Victoria and Kazdaele's pursuers would quickly smell the scent and move closer in this direction.

This journey will be more difficult than previously expected. It is impossible for him to fight all the way back to Longmen. After returning to Longmen, how long can his information be hidden?

Texas isn't worth the price.

Yes, on the surface, he has indeed done great things in Kazdaele and Victoria, but after all, Victoria and Kazdaele are two huge countries, and he is just one person. Only he knows clearly about his past. As beautiful as he looks, how dangerous is his current situation.

Dangerous buildings on the west edge of the city

The soaked wolf climbed out of the river in embarrassment and hid in the dangerous building.

The moment the flames completely ignited the factory.

The sewer connected under the factory saved her life. She looked extremely embarrassed. She tore off her coat with her teeth to bandage her injured arm, and her constant coughing was filled with sweet blood.

"Ahem... Texas really found a guy who looks like a monster. How did she do it?"

A man who appeared out of nowhere, with his exaggerated spells and deadly skills, had a hint of the military. Although he was deliberately trying to hide it, she could still smell the terrifying and thick weight on that guy that was almost impossible to hide. The smell of blood.

This is not something that can only be obtained by having a few lives on your hands.

She leaned against the wall of the ruins, with the railing of the dangerous building behind her. The fire almost killed her, and her wet white hair was condensed on her forehead.

The two swords were leaning against his side.

She felt that she had to take a break, but the scene was not over yet, and she couldn't leave in the middle. It would be too boring.

Once a wolf locks onto a certain prey, she will keep chasing it until she kills her prey. She is that kind of wolf, crazy and persistent, not to mention that she has already found the two prey she wants most.

What could be better than now, double the happiness, double the joy and excitement, walking on the edge of death, listening to the beating of my heart, as if every nerve is cheering for excitement, every nerve The hair is soaked in danger.

She enjoyed and longed for that feeling so much that she was obsessed with it.

But she doesn't like Texas now. Texas is becoming cowardly. She should be like herself. No, if it's Texas, she can do better than herself.

Such cowardice is nothing.

This Texas was not the Texas she knew. She had to change back to the Texas she had before.

"If you kill that man and put his body in front of you, you won't be able to escape, Texas... What will you do? It's really exciting."

Chapter 14 Survive

April 6

2:05 minutes/night

Two sneaky figures quietly approached a car hidden deep in the alley.

The door was pulled open.

"George, are we really going to do this?"

Sheng standing behind looked around nervously and asked hesitantly in a lowered voice.

"We're here now. If you're not at ease, just go back by yourself, Byron. Anyway, you've been timid since you were a child."

He turned around and said that he could vaguely see the outline of the young man's face at night. It was the infected person who had sneaked into Chen Mo two hours ago and received a slight lesson.

"But Boss Cao has spoken. If it is known, Jim will cause trouble for Uncle Jim again. Last time you caused the O'Gorman family to be almost killed. If Boss Cao and the others hadn't arrived in time, you would have died. ”

"Boss Cao believes in him, but I don't believe him. He is not related to us. We don't even know what he does. He is not even an infected person and hangs out with us. What if he... you know what I think Say what you want, Byron, we all admire Boss Cao, but we are all infected, and we know how people see us."

"Are you still aware of what happened just now..."

"Nonsense, I'm not that stingy. If you don't worry, leave now."

The car door was gently opened.

George climbed into the car, opened the compartment, and rummaged around in the car. Under the storage box, two medicines and several gun magazines were rummaged out. He did not move, but moved towards the back seat.
