Chapter 111 There are enemies(1/2)
"gone?"
Li Changzhou stood on the second floor without walls. The smoke and dust in front of his eyes had been swept away, and it was as clean as a glass.
The training at the bottom of the Great Lakes made his horn spiral strength even further.
"Where is the enemy? What happened?" Li Qianxia couldn't help but ask him.
Because of the gas mask, Li Changzhou's expression could not be clearly seen, but the brother and sister had been together before they were born. Just by looking at each other's figures, one could guess almost exactly what the other was thinking.
She saw that Li Changzhou was deep in thought at this time.
"It's a long-distance attack, and the opponent is gone." Li Changzhou replied, "The ability is similar to a turn-based game. The opponent punches me, and I punch the opponent again, but there seem to be other rules."
"The people in the textile factory are bait." Yang Qinglan thought of something else.
Li Changzhou nodded.
Just in case, after being on guard for another three minutes, the nine people and one dog lowered their guard and gathered together. Li Changzhou told them what he had discovered.
"Even if it's a bait, we have no choice but to take it." There was no emotion in Zheng Qing's voice.
"Damn it!" Poison cursed in a low voice.
The scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Tank and Thigh said nothing, and Yangliu clenched the dagger in his hand.
"Everyone, look at each other," Zheng Qing said, then looked at everyone again, "Let's go!"
The nine people and one dog continued to run towards the textile factory, their bodies and minds tense, like a bowstring straining to be stretched, and they even trembled slightly because of the exertion.
But even so, not only did their speed not slow down, but it was actually faster.
◇
Red Star Textile Factory.
In a small office with only stools and tables, six people were having a meeting.
It was already dark, and there was only one candle lit on the table. The flame was weak and small, stubbornly resisting the heavy darkness around it.
"Boss Xu, what do you want from us?" asked a handsome middle-aged man in a suit.
Boss Xu of Hongxing Textile Factory, hesitation and entanglement flashed across his face, and he said, "Ambassador Lu, the food we brought back last time...is no longer enough."
"Isn't that enough?!" a man wearing a desert-colored camouflage uniform asked subconsciously, his voice loud and full of accusations.
"Xiao He!" Ambassador Lu raised his voice and said.
The man in camouflage clothing named Xiao He shut his mouth.
"Boss Xu," Ambassador Lu looked at him, "If I remember correctly, the food that Xiao He and Xiao Yun brought back from their last adventure could last four days if they saved on it. But it's only the second day now?"
Boss Xu smiled bitterly and looked at the textile factory supervisor on the side.
The squad leader, surnamed Wang, has always been in charge of the textile factory and has a high prestige. After the war broke out, he also managed the employees of the textile factory. The employees trusted him more than Boss Xu, who rarely came to the factory.
"Ambassador," the squad leader said, "among the people below, there are some people from Yemen who don't believe that we will take them away, and there are also a group of people who think that we can't leave, so when they eat...
Let go and eat."
"Give it to them if they want it? Do you have pig brains?" Xiao He suddenly became angry.
This time Ambassador Lu did not stop him, but Boss Xu and the team leader could only smile bitterly.
"We didn't give it to them," the two explained. "Those people were strong and strong, and they went to get it secretly at night, so we were unprepared."
"Ambassador, I'll go with Xiao He again. There are a lot of places to eat on that street." said the only woman in the room.
"I want you to go!" Xiao He said angrily.
"Xiao He..."
"Shut up!" Xiao He angrily scolded Xiao Yun, "Look at your arms, and then look at my face!"
Xiao Yun's left arm was missing, and Xiao He had a big scar on his face. This was the price he paid for the last time he went out to look for food.
If the two of them were not players, with such injuries and in such an environment, it is very likely that the wound would become infected and die.
And the food that actually cost them their lives was squandered!
"Ambassador Lu!" Xiao He turned to look at Ambassador Lu, "I suggest that we get rid of all the bad apples downstairs. Those people are a scourge now, but when support comes in the future, they will be an even greater scourge on the way out!"
"I understand, Comrade Xiao He." Ambassador Lu nodded, "But how to get rid of them? Kill them? Or drive them away? Who will kill them? After driving them away, should you watch them die, or wait for them to bring the enemy over?
"
His tone was gentle but full of strength.
Xiao He opened his mouth to say that he would kill him, but after taking a few rough breaths, he fell silent.
"Then -" Boss Xu looked them back and forth, "What about the food?"
The room also became silent along with Xiao He.
The candles cast the shadows of the six people on the wall, like a circle of monsters gathering at a dinner party, watching them with their eyes.
"Xiao He, Xiao Yun." Ambassador Lu spoke with difficulty.
"Understood!" Xiaoyun nodded.
"...Understood!" Xiao He gritted his teeth and looked like a wolf.
The remaining warrior player did not speak. He wanted to go with his comrades, but he couldn't. His instincts and skills were not suitable for fighting, and he also shouldered the responsibility of contacting the maritime fleet.
Xiao Yun and Xiao He put on Yemeni attire outside of their camouflage uniforms. Xiao Yun wrapped herself in a women's headscarf and Xiao He put on a white hat.
The two drove a pickup truck full of bullet holes and quietly left the textile factory.
"Damn! A bunch of trash!" Xiao He angrily smashed the car door on the quiet road.
In the driver's seat, Xiaoyun drove with one hand and turned around with a smile: "As long as I can go back alive, my arm and your face can be cured."
"I'm so angry with those idiots!" Xiao He breathed out, "I'm here to save them, so just listen to me and don't hold me back! Think of me as your mother!"
"You are not their mother, but you are their father." Xiaoyun smiled.
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, angry and laughing at the same time.
The two were silent for a while, and the pickup truck stumbled forward in the night without turning on the lights. Xiaoyun had night vision skills.
"Even if the two of us transport the food back, if there is no support," Xiao He's voice lost the anger, only fatigue, "it's all in vain."
After a moment of silence, Xiaoyun said: "Do what we can."
The two parked their car outside the town and walked into the town to the nearest commercial street.
Unlike those high-end commercial streets in China, the small shops here still have old-fashioned wooden doors. Customers can only stand outside the door and look at the cheap food in the glass.
Xiao Yun walked behind Xiao He, putting her intact right hand on his shoulder.
Xiao He activated his ability, and the two of them turned into the surrounding colors. Xiao Yun also activated his ability, and their heartbeats, breaths, and footsteps all disappeared.
They quietly passed through the empty alleys like two thieves, searching one house after another. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they entered a medium-sized supermarket owned by a Xia man.
It was pitch black, and through night vision, Xiaoyun saw the shelves falling to the ground, with food all over the floor.
Rice, flour, cheap cans, sausages, and instant noodles covered the supermarket floor.
She grabbed the hand on Xiao He's shoulder and applied a little force, meaning: Right here, start moving.
The two of them were careful, always maintaining their ability, and collected food bit by bit, traveling like two ants between the supermarket and the pickup truck parked outside the town.
Xiao Yun wanted to grab Xiao He's shoulder with her right hand, so she could only use her broken left hand to hook the plastic bag, and then bite a large bag with her teeth.
In this town, rebels come from time to time to raid and take advantage.
The two of them were here last time, and were chased by several rebel players and their soldiers.
"That's almost it." Xiao He glanced at the pickup truck's compartment, which was piled with food.
As long as you be careful when you go back, this mission can be successfully completed.
"Wait a minute." Xiaoyun said suddenly, "come with me again."
"What's wrong?" Xiao He was puzzled.
"Bring a skirt to Xiaona." The two of them were so close that Xiao He could see Xiao Yun's smile even though he didn't have night vision.
The Xiaona she was talking about was a little Arab girl who was about to turn 10. She was very well-behaved and always helped the adults with work. Before the war, her wish was to have a new dress for her 10th birthday.
Xiao He, who was always angry and opposed to taking risks, also smiled at this time: "Then I will find her a better birthday gift than a dress!"
"No way!"
"Not always."
The two of them walked back to the commercial street and found a hypermarket filled with rows of cheap clothes.
Xiaoyun chose a dress-style milk-white long skirt. The fabric was cheap and there were threads, but the style imitated those famous brands. It would definitely capture the hearts of any girl under the age of twelve.
Xiao He took a bunch of potato chips and jelly.
These things, let alone after the war, even before the war, were absolute luxuries for Yemeni children.
