Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a carriage loaded with supplies, carrying Zhang Zhe and three others, slowly entered the military base in City L.
Xiao Wu, who entered such a large human base for the first time, seemed very excited and nervous. A pair of curious eyes kept looking back and forth at the living people in the base.
Zhang Zhe was worried that this little girl could not control herself and would cause trouble for the three of them, so he had to take the trouble to remind Xiao Wu again and again that he must listen to his words here and never hurt anyone at will here.
When a carriage of ammunition and supplies was transported to the warehouse in the East District for inventory and unloading, a middle-aged man of medium height and dark skin who was responsible for the storage of the warehouse noticed that six boxes of ammunition were missing from the batch of ammunition and supplies.
He turned to look at Zhang Zhe, who was standing aside smoking a cigarette in his hand, and said coldly.
"Brother, is the quantity of this batch wrong?"
"Why are there six boxes missing?"
After being asked this question, Xiao Fu, who was standing with Xiao Wu, immediately looked at Zhang Zhe, who was smoking a cigarette in his hand.
After flicking the unburned cigarette in his hand, Zhang Zhe, with a calm expression, said calmly to the warehouse keeper with a frown and a solemn expression.
"The night we passed through K City, we were robbed by a group of military soldiers while we were resting in a courtyard. One of our companions died, and they took away six boxes of ammunition."
"The bodies of our companions and each other are still lying in that yard. If you don't believe it, we can take you back to investigate!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhe stretched out his hand and pointed to the boxes placed at the feet of Xiao Wu and Xiao Fu. They were gifts for Director Luo of the Logistics and Transportation Management Department. He expressed his gratitude to the Zhong Zhong who was responsible for the storage of the warehouse.
The young man said with a smile.
"Brother, these boxes of supplies are very important and need to be signed by Minister Luo personally!"
"Please help me and deliver it for us!"
As soon as Zhang Zhe said these words, the middle-aged man in charge of warehouse storage immediately changed his face and said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I know."
"Don't worry, brother, I promise to help you deliver these boxes of supplies!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhang Zhe took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket. While handing the two packs of cigarettes to the middle-aged man, he introduced himself and Xiao Fu to the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Brother, I am Zhang Junzhe, the new webmaster of City Z Station. That little girl over there is Xiaofu, the new deputy webmaster of our City Z Station."
"In the future, our Z City Station will inevitably have to trouble my brother to take care of you!"
After pretending to be a little embarrassed, he put away the cigarettes handed to him by Zhang Zhe, and the man smiled and said goodbye to Zhang Zhe.
"Brother, are you going to see someone outside now? We are all our own people, there really is no need for this!"
"Don't worry, in the future, as long as you are a person from our Z City Station, I, Wu De, will definitely take extra care of you!"
After saying this, Wu De continued to smile to Zhang Zhe and the others.
"Brother, you don't have to wait here anymore. Don't worry, my brother is here and I will take care of everything for you!"
"You should go directly to the accommodation in the South District to rest! When you get there, tell the person in charge of reception that Wu De has something to do and he will not be able to come. The person in charge of reception will understand."
After nodding to Wu De, who was showing attentiveness, Zhang Zhe and the other two people put on their respective material backpacks and left the warehouse in the East District.
As night falls, the street lights on both sides of the street also light up.
In the South District, civilians who had worked hard all day for a few point cards were walking in twos and threes on the street towards their homes after work. Or groups of friends were walking together along the street towards the canteen in the South District.
And go.
People were coming and going, so lively.
Xiao Fu, who was carrying a big backpack on her back, was holding her tightly, looking curiously at the hands of Xiao Wu, who was just looking at the people walking around. She was looking at Zhang Zhe, who was carrying a backpack and holding a long knife in his hand.
.With a cute little face, he asked in a curious voice.
"Brother Zha, when the man named Wu De asked you about the six boxes of ammunition just now, weren't you nervous at all?"
"To be honest, I was almost nervous to death just now. This is my first time hiding so much ammunition and supplies."
After hearing what Xiao Fu said, Zhang Zhe, who looked disapproving, said calmly to Xiao Fu beside him.
"What are you so nervous about?"
"Before we set off, sister Xi, didn't you make it very clear? All the warehouses in this entire base are under the control of Director Luo. All the personnel responsible for managing the warehouses are the trusted subordinates of Director Luo."
"As long as we feed that Minister Luo, everything will be nothing. Didn't you see that when I said those boxes of things needed Minister Luo to sign for them personally, the guy immediately changed his face?
"
Xiao Fu on the side nodded her head, puffed up her face, and quietly reminded Zhang Zhe in a low voice.
"Brother Zha, that guy named Wu De is just a little shrimp responsible for guarding the warehouse. You don't need to take care of him at all!"
"When I followed that big liar here to deliver supplies, that big liar didn't care about these little shrimps at all. The two packs of cigarettes you just sent out, you might as well give them to..."
Before Xiao Fu beside him finished speaking, Zhang Zhe, who had just lit a cigarette for himself, slowly blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth, turned to look at Xiao Fu beside him, and said with a smile.
"Silly girl, what do you know? The one above is fed and will do the big things for us. The one below is fed and helps us with the small things. From now on, the two of us will hand over the delivery work to others.
"
"In order for other people in our inn to not be made things difficult here in the future, the two of us have to clear the way for our inn today."
"You know the other warehouse managers, right? Tomorrow you will take a pack of food in exchange for some cigarettes and give each of them two packs."
"Just say that we are the new chief and deputy chiefs who have just arrived at City Z Station. We will invite them more in the future..."
When he said this, Zhang Zhe suddenly stopped in the middle of his words and stopped in his tracks.
Zhang Zhe's intuition told him that the three of them were being followed.
The smells in the air were so complex that he was unable to locate any useful smells for the moment. But he could feel that the guy who was following the three of them had been following them for quite some time.
After carefully observing the pedestrians around the three of them to no avail, Zhang Zhe whispered a reminder to Xiao Fu and Xiao Wu who stopped beside him.
"You may not believe it, but we seem to be being followed."
"I can feel that that person seems to have followed us for some distance."
After hearing Zhang Zhe's words, Xiao Fu and Xiao Wu, who were standing next to Zhang Zhe, immediately turned around to check.
Before the two of them could make any move to check, Zhang Zhe, who looked cautious, hurriedly spoke to stop them.
"Don't look at it, you'll alert the enemy!"
"Come with me, let's fish this guy out!"
With that said, Zhang Zhe, who was carrying a backpack and a long knife, walked quickly towards the side of the street, an alley with dim lights and almost no pedestrians passing by.
Since the base has not changed much in the past five years, Zhang Zhe, who led the base for a period of time five years ago, knows all the streets in the base very well.
In the alley he was walking towards, less than ten meters away, there was a dead end where nearby residents stored garbage. Last time when Xiaofu and I came to the base to deliver goods, we saw someone throwing garbage into that alley.
The three of them now only need to enter the alley and quickly hide in the dead end. They will definitely be able to successfully fish out the guy who is following the three of them!
Zhang Zhe, who had already made a plan in his mind, whispered to Xiao Fu and Xiao Wu as soon as they entered the alley.
"follow me!"
As these words fell, Zhang Zhe quickly ran towards the dead end in the alley.
After the three of them quickly ran into a dead end with a large amount of garbage piled inside, Zhang Zhe leaned against the wall and looked into the dimly lit box.
Outside the alleyway where pedestrians were passing by, a thin and tall girl wearing a shabby light blue denim suit with a high black ponytail, good looks and a thin face limped into the darkness.
in the alley.
The girl's right leg seemed to be disabled. Under the dim light, the right leg, which looked bulky and could not bend, appeared slightly shorter than her left leg.
After entering the alley, the girl stood at the entrance of the alley and stared at the empty alley in front of her.
Then, the girl frowned, dragged her disabled right leg, and limped slowly toward the alley.
After seeing the girl walking into the alley with the three of them, Zhang Zhe, who was hiding in the dead end and observing with his head, concluded that it was the girl who was following the three of them.
But Zhang Zhe really had no impression of this girl's appearance. He really couldn't figure out why this girl was following the three of them?
Just when the limping girl was less than five or six meters away from the dead end where Zhang Zhe and the others were hiding, he followed the three middle-aged men in shabby suits from the entrance of the alley behind the girl.
young man.
The three middle-aged men all had a very lewd smile on their faces. After following the girl into the alley, the leader of the three, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a full beard, was behind the girl.
, said with a sneer.
"Hey! Isn't this Bai Ling, Miss Bai?"
"I haven't seen you for a while. When are you going to pay back the two hundred point cards you owe us?"
After hearing the man's voice from behind, the girl named Bai Ling shivered all over.
After the chill, anger rose on the girl's face.
Turning around suddenly, the girl cursed loudly and angrily at the three middle-aged men who followed her into the alley.
"You scoundrels, I've already paid off your debt!"
"I have not owed you a long time ago..."
"Snapped!"
Before the angry girl could finish her words, the leader with a beard raised his hand and slapped the girl to the ground.
After knocking the girl to the ground, the bearded man walked up to the girl and said with a sneer to the girl who was lying on the ground and sobbing aggrievedly.
"Miss Bai, the pretty boy you raised has indeed paid back the fifty points cards you borrowed from us."
"But once the principal is paid off, don't you need to pay back the interest? The interest is compounded. Now you already owe us another two hundred point cards."
"In addition to the medical expenses paid by the pretty boy who stood up for you last time, you now owe us a total of 500 point cards. How are you going to pay us back?"
As soon as Beard's words finished, one of the three people, a short and thin middle-aged man with a pair of sinister eyebrows, walked over to Beard's side, looked at the sobbing girl lying on the ground, and said to Beard.
He said with a wicked smile.
"Brother, Miss Bai is a fire helper in the canteen!"
"She worked hard in the cafeteria for a whole day and only earned five cent cards. She can't even pay one-tenth of the interest. I think it's better for us to show some kindness and let the three of us help her!"
After hearing the words of the thin man, a very lewd smile appeared on his bearded face, and he asked in a pretentious manner.
"Third brother, how do you want us to help Miss Bai?"
Looking at the sobbing girl who fell to the ground, the thin man said with a wicked smile.
"Brother, since Miss Bai can't pay it back, she can only pay the debt with her own body!"
"The highest price in the alley, five points card once. The three of us brothers can help Miss Bai get rid of fifteen cards once..."
Before the thin man could finish speaking, the short, fat, middle-aged man among the three who had been standing behind the two without speaking came up to the two and looked at the girl lying on the ground with a lewd smile.
"Lao San, are you so kind?"
"Big man, how about we just listen to the third child and help Miss Bai?"
As soon as the short and fat man finished speaking, the bearded man stretched out his hand to loosen his pants and said with a wicked smile.
"I really like to do things that are helpful to others!"
"You two, come and take Miss Bai to the alley aside, and we three brothers will help her!"
After hearing the bearded man's words, the other two middle-aged men immediately leaned over and reached out to drag the sobbing girl who fell to the ground.
"Don't touch me, don't...save..."
Before the girl, who was crying and struggling on the ground, could finish shouting, the two middle-aged men dragged her up from the ground and covered her mouth as she cried for help.
Zhang Zhe, who saw this scene in the alley, warned Xiao Fu next to him with his eyes to keep an eye on Xiao Wu, then slowly walked out of the alley with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
