Since the situation has become clear, there is no point in continuing to stay and investigate, so Xu Renjie decided to return immediately.
The difficulty of climbing down is much more complicated than climbing up, because when going up, you can at least see the road ahead, but when going down, you can only test it by relying on the soles of your feet. In addition, the bronze statue itself is relatively slippery, so if you are not careful, it will cause damage. There is a risk of falling.
With the telescope held by Tang Xiaoquan, Xu Renjie was slowly descending step by step. He originally planned to ask a few more questions, but when he saw the latter moving, he could only give up his thoughts and quietly wait for the latter's return.
Not long after, Xu Renjie successfully pulled back with Hu Xiaodong on an old bicycle.
As soon as he arrived, Tang Xiaoquan immediately ran forward and asked, "Old Xu, is the factory blocked? How many doors are there? Is it possible to rush in?"
It was obvious that Tang Xiaoquan didn't want to give up deep down. After all, they all knew that they had been preparing for this escort mission for a long time.
However, the reality is cruel. Although Xu Renjie also wants to give young people some hope, but...
"The entire factory has been surrounded by zombies. There is only one door. It is too dangerous to attack by force!"
In just a few words, Xu Renjie stopped Tang Xiaoquan's thoughts.
At this point, it was obviously a foregone conclusion to return home.
Xu Renjie summoned Hu Xiaodong and Wei Dazhuang, who were on full alert, and then returned to the urban management vehicle together.
As soon as he got into the car, Liu Yunpeng showed an anxious attitude. He wanted to ask about the situation several times, but due to Lao Xu's previous reprimand, he restrained himself and did not dare to ask.
But when he saw Xu Renjie twisting the key and preparing to leave, he tentatively asked: "Company Commander Xu, are we setting off to my father's place now?"
"No!" He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the rearview mirror. Xu Renjie replied in an unusually crisp manner: "The factory is surrounded by zombies and we can't get in! Let's return to the station now!"
I have to say that what Lao Xu said was very straightforward.
In his opinion, this was already the case, and there was no point in trying to take care of the other party in a roundabout way.
Furthermore, in the apocalypse, if you don’t even have this psychological endurance, how can you survive?
"Monitor Zhang, you can't just leave like this! You promised my father that you would take me to the warehouse, you can't go back on your word!"
"Humph!" Xu Renjie smiled coldly and glanced sideways at Liu Yunpeng: "Yes, I did promise your father! But it depends on the situation and you have to do your best!"
"But you haven't even tried!"
Xu Renjie ignored it and turned the key, and immediately the engine hummed loudly.
Seeing that the other party was serious, not only Liu Yunpeng this time, but also Li Huiru in the back row couldn't sit still:
"Company Commander Xu, this is wrong for you. Don't forget that you are a soldier! Now you know that the people in the factory are surrounded by zombies, how could you just walk away so irresponsibly!"
It has to be said that Li Huiru's hasty words hit Lao Zhang's Achilles' heel. At least the latter stopped pushing the gear lever with his right hand.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Ordinary companies may forget their oath under Zeng Jinjun at this juncture, but as a soldier of the Sharp Knife Company, especially a cadre of a several-level company, Xu Renjie's loyalty to our party and our army has been imprinted in his bones. .
So he hesitated a little at this moment, and if there were no others in this operation and only Xu Renjie and his men, then Li Huiru's plan might actually be successful.
But it is a pity that there is a young man on the bus who is smarter and more thoughtful, and he cannot and will not sit back and watch all this happen.
"Haha, Miss Li, you made a good point. Yes, Company Commander Xu is a soldier. Logically speaking, he should indeed focus on rescuing the people. But don't forget that he is a human being first and a soldier second. Soldiers are not supermen. , he doesn’t have the skills of the guy who wears underwear outside. He is just like you and me, with only one head on his shoulders. The current situation of the warehouse is there, and there are not one or two zombies surrounding it, but hundreds or thousands. If Do you think you have the ability to break through those zombies and go to the factory, OK, no problem, we respect your opinion. We can send you two there now, but as you said before, we don’t have the ability, so when you get there, you can get off the car and find a way. .”
Tang Xiaoquan said this resoundingly. After saying this, he did not rush for the other party's reply. Instead, he found a comfortable position and lay down. Then he changed the topic and continued:
"If Xiao Liu, you are worried about your father, then I can tell you clearly that your worries are unnecessary. Lao Xu has confirmed that the wall around the factory is thick and hard enough, and you also said that your father is Those who are in the food business definitely have a lot of material reserves in the factory. He can survive from the end of the world to 4 months, and it is definitely not a problem to survive for a few more months. On the contrary, it is you who rushed over so insistently and recklessly. If something goes wrong, The question is, your father will definitely come out to rescue you, but by then, who can guarantee that the factory will not miss it? I think you, Liu Yunpeng, don’t want your father to be in danger because of saving you."
"Okay, that's it. As for whether you plan to stay or go back with us, the decision is yours."
Intimidation and inducement! Tang Xiaoquan really told Liu and Li everything.
He believes that as long as Liu Yunpeng and Li Huiru have some brains, they should make the right choice.
"We're going with you!"
As expected, Tang Xiaoquan did not show much surprise at Liu Yunpeng's decisive answer.
Because what he just said was not directed at Liu and Li. His purpose was just to find a reason for Lao Zhang to leave with peace of mind.
At this point, the car finally started on its way home.
Xu Renjie drove the urban management vehicle steadily, without Liu Yunpeng's reminder, he had already imprinted the road he came on in his mind.
Tang Xiaoquan, who was in the back row, was looking out the window, letting the strong wind slap his cheeks.
Anyone who knows him well knows that Tang Xiaoquan is thinking about something at this time.
In fact, so far, he is still unwilling to return to the base empty-handed.
Going back means having to find another way to raise supplies, which also brings with it a series of increased risks.
so……
The scenery on the street moved backwards quickly like a stream of light, and Tang Xiaoquan's confused eyes were blurred and deep.
Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and the fragmented memories began to be quickly reorganized. Tang Xiaoquan eagerly skipped the irrelevant information, and a picture immediately appeared in his mind. To be precise, it was a place, a place that could reverse the situation. the current situation.
The corner of his lips showed a trace of excitement, and Tang Xiaoquan shouted in a deep voice: "Old Xu, turn around! I have thought of a way to enter the factory!!" (To be continued.)
