Chu Yusheng frowned, his eyes widened, and the submissive look he had just moments ago disappeared. He took out a grenade from his pocket as fast as lightning, and then pulled out the safety catch. The second lieutenant in front of him did not expect Chu Yu at all.
Sheng Hui had this reaction, and the sergeant holding a gun next to him did not dare to make any move because the two of them were too close.
In this flash of lightning, Chu Yusheng grabbed the second lieutenant by the collar and strangled him in front of him. The other hand holding the fuse spring was brought to the second lieutenant's eyes. The surrounding soldiers were panicked, but
Holding a gun and pointing it at the two people, he kept shouting:
"Let him go! Let him go!"
The second lieutenant's cold and indifferent expression just now turned into panic, and he was sweating profusely in just a few seconds. He said with a forced smile:
"Brother! Don't get excited. We are all... trying to survive. We don't have to do this. You can take whatever supplies you need."
Chu Yusheng pressed the grenade on his chest and said calmly and decisively:
"I only give you three seconds to ask your people to put down their guns. Then go to the wall and face the wall! One..."
When he counted "one", one of the three fingers holding the fuse spring loosened.
"Put...put down the gun!...Hurry! Do as he says...!" the second lieutenant shouted in horror to the surrounding non-commissioned officers.
The few men holding guns had no choice but to obey.
"Xiao Hu! Come in!" Chu Yusheng shouted loudly.
Xiao Hu walked in and took a look. The situation in front of him surprised him at first, but he quickly understood what happened.
"Take the guns away and ask some brothers with guns to come in and watch them."
Chu Yusheng's words were full of the cynicism and disdain that Xiao Hu was most familiar with, which once frightened him. But the sight of Chu Yusheng, who had regained his ruffian spirit, made Xiao Hu feel protected and safe.
.
Soon Lao Guo led several people into the warehouse and controlled all the second lieutenant's people. Chu Yusheng let go of the second lieutenant and hit his forehead with a grenade in his hand:
"Do you know why I became a soldier?"
The second lieutenant forced a smile on his crimson cheeks covered in cold sweat and shook his head.
Chu Yusheng took out a cigarette from the lieutenant's pocket, lit it, took a long puff and said:
"My dad said I was too cruel and asked me to sharpen my skills. You are a bit too young to play this trick in front of me."
The second lieutenant nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes... it's all for survival. You can take whatever you want..."
Chu Yusheng turned slightly and glanced at the door:
"I want my people to come in and load supplies. If your people dare to move around, I can't guarantee what will happen to them, but you will definitely die. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood! Understood! I'll ask the communications troops to convey the order and have them stand by in the tent to ensure that they don't cause you any trouble." After saying that, the second lieutenant called the guards at the door.
Chu Yusheng grabbed the second lieutenant by the collar, pressed the grenade into his face, and said with a half-smile:
"Stop playing tricks!"
Then, Xiao Hu brought the signal soldier in. After the second lieutenant gave him the order seriously, he forced a smile and said:
"It's no problem now, we are all the same, in order to survive. There is no need to do it like this. If we do it ourselves, the enemy will be happy."
Chu Yusheng didn't say anything to him, so Lao Guo began to lead the team into the warehouse to replenish supplies. Halfway through the replenishment, Chu Yusheng said to the second lieutenant:
"Where is the car? Take out the car keys."
The second lieutenant was startled and was hesitating. Chu Yusheng said coldly:
"You'd better not waste my time and let me leave quickly. Otherwise, I'll become interested in you and I'm afraid you won't be able to stay."
The second lieutenant pointed to a cabinet by the wall:
"The keys are inside and the car is in the woods behind. There are only 6 military jeeps. If you need them, just drive them away, but there is not much gas."
Chu Yusheng winked, and Xiao Hu rummaged in the cabinet. Sure enough, he found a few sets of keys. When he took away the keys, several paper rolls rolled out. Xiao Hu picked up the paper roll and took a look.
:
"Brother Yu Sheng, this is news about the carrier pigeon!"
As he looked through it, he said:
"There are several damage reports here from Shuchuan. It seems that the damage there is not as big as ours! The latest one is from a week ago, and it doesn't seem like it has rained much!"
The second lieutenant smiled forcefully:
"These are all letters from before. Now that the communication is down, it's hard to verify the real situation. And our place is too far away from Sichuan, so I don't care."
Chu Yusheng ignored him and said to Xiao Hu:
"You put these letters away and we will study them later. You take these car keys and go to the woods behind to find the car. Then break all the keys in the keyhole and throw the remaining keys into the woods."
"Okay, Brother Yu Sheng!"
The second lieutenant looked puzzled. Chu Yusheng patted the hand holding the grenade on his shoulder, stared at him and said:
"I'm different from you. I won't leave my people and run away. What I want is everyone's survival, not just my own."
Soon, everyone's backpacks were filled with supplies. Chu Yusheng put the grenade into the second lieutenant's hand and held it, then wrapped his hands with tape like a rice dumpling. Chu Yusheng stood up and held it on his forehead
The second lieutenant smiled coldly on his forehead:
"You have to be brave enough to let go and then lead someone to chase me. Let's see which one of us is better."
After saying that the second lieutenant couldn't answer, he picked up his helmet and knocked the second lieutenant unconscious to the ground, and then walked out of the warehouse. When passing through the camp, he even lit a cigarette leisurely, not caring at all about the sharp eyes coming from the gaps in the surrounding tents.
.
After meeting the team, Chu Yusheng immediately asked everyone to run forward. However, he and Xiao Hu dragged a few people far behind the team and rested in a hidden ravine until late at night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Hu woke everyone up just after dawn. While the self-heating food was heating, Chu Yusheng took out the curled letters and read them over and over again.
"Brother Yu Sheng, how unreliable is the content in this letter?" Xiao Hu asked.
"It should be reliable. The seals and seals are the same as what we learned before the war. These should be the situation reports sent by Sichuan to the Central Command and the backup commands after the electromagnetic pulse caused a nationwide disconnection." Chu Yusheng said while saying
While speaking, he handed the creed to Xiao Hu and Lao Guo who were standing aside.
"Judging from the content above, the losses suffered by Shuchuan are indeed much smaller than ours. The power systems of many cities there are basically intact. And the information before last week shows that they have not experienced any further problems." Lao Guo
said.
"Then let's head towards Sichuan?" Chu Yusheng looked at the two of them.
Xiao Hu picked up the smoking lunch box, stood up and said:
"I will listen to you, Brother Yu Sheng. I will go and replace the people on guard."
Lao Guo handed several volumes of letters back to Chu Yusheng with a simple and honest smile on his face:
"Squad leader Chu, I have been following you for such a long time. We all trust you. You can leave when you say, stay when you say, and we all obey your orders." People eating breakfast around also cast approving glances.
While hesitating, there was a burst of noise from the crowd. Chu Yusheng stood up, and everyone was looking up at the sky. He also looked up, and saw streaks of red in the fish-belly-like sky between the treetops.
