The location where the large force stopped was next to a small hydropower station in the west of N City, above the middle section of the Fenghua River.
The reason why I chose this place to rest and recuperate is because it is far away from the city and is not blocked by high-rise buildings. The surrounding sightline is obviously much better, and the number of zombies is also significantly reduced compared with the city. It is safer no matter how you look at it.
The soldiers were divided into groups of three, each gathered in a circle, set up a simple stove not far from the convoy, and started to light a fire to cook.
It was obvious that the large force had planned to camp next to the hydropower station for one night and did not intend to travel overnight.
Xu Xiaoxiao got out of the black Tesla, with some crumbs of rice cakes still on the corners of his mouth.
When Hu Tengye, Xu Xin, and Ma Long went to the military vehicle to talk, the greedy girl was wondering if she could get some more food. It happened that Uncle Ni and others didn't eat much, so she asked her There were a few more rice cakes in my stomach.
"Finally half full, let's move around and digest it!"
Holding the metal baseball bat brought from Lu Yu's house in his hand, Xu Xiaoxiao did not join Yan Hanben, Uncle Ni and others in expressing their emotions after the meal, but walked forward along the motorcade.
The entire team was eerily quiet. Although the heavily armed soldiers had put down their firearms, they showed no signs of relaxing among themselves. They were just busy with their own tasks without even a simple exchange of words.
It's as if the entire team is a precision machine that works seamlessly together. There will be no signs of slacking off until the goal is achieved.
"These soldiers look so serious. They don't seem as talkative as Mr. Ma Long and others..."
The girl's big eyes glanced back and forth among the soldiers who were setting up pots to cook. Her appearance naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers, but most of them just glanced at it and concentrated on the food in front of them. A few generals The person whose eyes stay on the girl for a long time.
For unknown reasons, these soldiers all wore simple masks on their faces, some similar to wide scarves, covering their mouths and noses. They would only take off the masks when they were ready to eat.
The queue of military vehicles was very long, but Xu Xiaoxiao's walking speed was not slow, and it didn't take long for him to reach the front of the convoy.
Different from the military trucks with cargo boxes that followed behind them, the three leading vehicles were four-wheeled jeeps. Their sharp-edged shapes and dark green camouflage paint on their bodies all showed their unique power and dominance.
The military vehicle at the front was more solid in shape, with thick armor plates directly covering most of the tires. There was also a machine gun on the roof, and a yellow bullet chain hanging on the side, leaving no doubt about its combat capabilities.
"My dear, this car is quite handsome..."
Xu Xiaoxiao is not Zhang Ning, and his understanding of military equipment is limited to judging from its appearance.
Although she didn't know what the characteristics of the military vehicle in front of her were, but just from its domineering appearance, the girl was already a little unable to move.
"Are you a survivor of that Tesla?"
Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was looking at the military vehicle in trance, a soldier came towards him, holding half a box of uneaten food in his hand.
This soldier has a long body, and the elastic material fits tightly to his body, highlighting his sharp muscle lines.
A pair of eagle eyes are bright, and although the expression on his face is serious, it gives people an inexplicable warmth, making people involuntarily feel that "the other party is very reliable" from the bottom of their hearts.

head.
"Um."
Xu Xiaoxiao did not lean in as enthusiastically as before, but nodded seriously on the spot, looking like a primary school student who abides by the rules.
When Ma Long came into contact with the person in the lead car earlier, although the girl was not beside him, she still clearly saw everything that happened on the bridge with her enhanced vision.
If Xu Xiaoxiao remembered correctly, the man walking towards him was the leading soldier who received Ma Long.
Their attitude was not friendly at first, so the girl acted more reserved.
"Don't be nervous. I can't eat people. My surname is Qiu. I am temporarily the commander-in-chief of this army. If you have any difficulties or problems, you can come to me, or you can ask Xiao Ma to come to me."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, and when the officer surnamed Qiu saw that the girl had no intention of communicating with him, he added.
"The team has decided to stay here to rest tonight. You'd better take care of your toilet needs while it's still light. Although there are guards on duty at night, civilians like you are better off staying in the car and trying not to come out. .”
After saying that, Captain Qiu turned around and prepared to return to the military vehicle.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao's half-full stomach suddenly growled, and the sound was unusually loud. It sounded like he had been hungry for several days.
"Forehead."
The soldier surnamed Qiu stopped and looked at the girl behind him with some confusion.
"Have you not eaten yet? How about you come to my place and eat some? Although the quota is not much, it is better to eat something than nothing."
Captain Qiu pointed to a pot not far away, with steaming slices of meat tumbling in it, which looked very appetizing.
"Uh, no need, I've eaten..."
The girl's whole face turned red. She was a girl. She was usually carefree in front of acquaintances. But now she was hungry and growling in front of strangers. The voice was so loud that she immediately felt like looking for someone. The urge to dig into the cracks in the ground.
"You girl, your stomach is growling with hunger. Come and eat some. You're welcome." He said and waved to Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Okay, then I'll eat a little bit. I guess the things I ate before were rice cakes, chocolates and the like. They don't really resist hunger. Maybe eating some meat will satisfy my hunger..."
Although he didn't know why his stomach digested the previous food so quickly, it was obvious that Xu Xiaoxiao had already mentally prepared for the next behavior of eating.
With this in mind, Xu Xiaoxiao decided not to live up to Captain Qiu's warm hospitality and happily accepted the invitation to have dinner together...
…
On the other side, in Hu Tengye's cab.
There was no one in the car. Hu Teng was also sitting in the driver's seat, while Xu Xin and Ma Long were seated in the passenger and rear seats respectively. The three of them looked solemn, as if they were discussing something very important.
"Listen to what you mean, in this large army now, our 22nd Rescue Team should be regarded as the... um... assistance on Qiu Qianjun's side?"
Ma Long considered the words repeatedly, and finally chose "help" this time to replace his thoughts.
After Xu Xin's narration, Ma Long had already roughly understood the distribution of power factions within the large army.
and Hu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Teng Ye's description is basically consistent. Currently, the person in charge of the army is the captain Qiu Qianjun, but in fact there are two people secretly controlling him, one is Dugu Po and the other is Duan Yun.
In terms of the teams they belong to, Qiu Qianjun belongs to the rescue force, while one of Dugupo and Duan Yun belongs to the special forces, and the other belongs to the infantry combat force.
Although Qiu Qianjun's military rank is higher than that of Er Er, the main role of the rescue force is rescue and disaster relief, which relies on manpower and transportation equipment.
The special forces and infantry combat units are actual combat units. Not only are the firearms and weapons equipped better than those of the rescue units, but the combat quality of the members is also generally higher than that of the rescue units.
It seems that the three teams are all friendly forces, but if a civil war breaks out due to differences, the rescue team will definitely not be able to get any benefits from it.
Qiu Qianjun was not a fool, so he did not use his military rank to suppress the other two, but instead formed the current situation of separation of powers.
First, it can effectively stabilize the morale of the large army and avoid the outcome of division.
Secondly, it is more conducive to the implementation of instructions.
After all, the soldiers are not brought out by oneself. In the process of issuing orders and executing tasks, some friction will inevitably occur. It is more appropriate for the original general to lead the soldiers than an airborne leader. This is common sense and human nature.
"By the way, how much do you know about the task of rerouting large forces?"
Ma Long suddenly seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked. He had also asked Hu Tengye this question just now, but he only learned from the other party that the large army was going to Yunlong Town, and the rest of the details were not clear.
Xu Xin's military rank is higher than Hu Teng's, and he seems to be closer to the team leader Qiu Qianjun, so he should know more.
"Brother Hu didn't tell you about this? We are heading to Yunlong Town, which is about a day's journey from here. After we are done, we will go directly to the Siming Mountain Refuge."
Xu Xin glanced at Hu Tengye beside her and found that he was also looking at her curiously.
"I know we are heading to Yunlong Town, but Brother Hu doesn't know the specific details of the mission."
"Specific mission details..."
When Xu Xin heard this, she fell into deep thought.
When Ma Long saw this, he immediately understood that Xu Xin must know something. He suppressed his curiosity and waited for the other party to clarify his thoughts.
"Haha, on the contrary, you are now on this pirate ship, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Xu Xin smiled bitterly, with helplessness written all over her face.
"In Yunlong Town, there are comrades from nine subjects."
"What?!"
As soon as Ma Long and Hu Teng heard Xu Xin's words, their expressions instantly froze, and their mouths subconsciously opened into an O shape.
"You said that in Yunlong Town, a small town with a population of less than 150,000, there are comrades from the Nine Sections?" Ma Long murmured, obviously not reacting to Xu Xin's words.
"Does the Nine Sections really exist? Don't you say this department is just a legend..."
Hu Teng also had a bigger reaction than Ma Long. Due to his military rank, he obviously didn't know as much about the Nine Sections as Ma Long did. At best, he just listened to the rumors in the team and didn't really know the existence of this department.
"Alas, Jiu Ke exists, and it is more mysterious than you think..."
