Everyone gets on the bus.
This operation was divided into two vehicles.
A small truck, a car.
Needless to say, the driver was assigned to newcomer Du Long.
To be honest, this arrangement is actually quite risky.
After all, Dulong's freight career is his own.
As for what he did before the end of the world... In fact, no one in the Victors Alliance team knows.
At this time, such an important task is given to Du Long.
As long as he is qualified, if he is not qualified, or is not a freight driver at all... then the consequences will be very serious.
You know, the outing team is collecting supplies this time to meet the needs of skinheads.
Once Du Long made a mistake in the transportation process, resulting in the inability to successfully carry the required materials back to the station... In terms of time, it was obvious that the Victors Alliance team could not arrange another round of outings for remediation.
At that time, the skinheads went to the village to pick up the goods, but the village could not deliver the goods on time... No one knew what drastic things those bastards would do.
If it doesn't go well, people will die.
Are you telling me, Lao Huang, that they don't know these things clearly?
How is it possible? Of course it is clear.
So is it because the Victory Alliance team can't find anyone to set up the truck?
The answer is also no. After all, trucks are not trucks. As long as the team can drive, they can basically handle it. It is just a matter of familiarity or lack of familiarity.
Even if it is collecting cards, Luo Baochun can do it.
But even in this situation, the team resolutely chose to ask newcomer Du Long to take on such an important task.
The reason is simple...the team has reached a stage where it must break the rules.
They can't just rely on the old players for everything.
If the team's manpower is not expanded, if an emergency occurs and personnel are lost... the result will be that the entire action chain will be affected.
Rather than taking risks when bad things happen, it's better to arrange for new people to go out during periods of relative calm.
Let them get exercise and grow.
No one can operate in the abandoned city from the beginning.
Now give the newcomers enough time to exercise, and now take these risks... As long as the newcomers can be trained, then these risks will be worth it.
In addition, this is the end of the world, and the end of the world itself is a world of adventure and gambling.
It is impossible for you to expect to live peacefully with only one-third of an acre of land on hand.
As the saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. If you want to live longer in the last days, you must prepare for a rainy day.
Since some dangers are destined to be unavoidable, face them as early as possible and get them resolved as soon as possible.
After getting on the bus, the veteran team member was still responsible for the lead car.
Derek was driving, Wei Dazhuang was the co-driver, Huo Yuankai was in the back seat, and Du Long was in the back seat. They were in charge of guiding the car from the front.
Du Long was in charge of the truck, with Wang Qiang beside him.
Du Long was obviously a little nervous after getting in the car.
After all, this outing is different from the past when he ran out to sell goods.
The place he was going to this time was an abandoned city full of dangers and zombies.
Although he was captured by the skinheads after the end of the world, he has been imprisoned in the skinheads' lair and has never survived outside.
But in the early days of the apocalypse, he also experienced the cruelty of a ruined city.
He also experienced with his own eyes the horrific and bloody scene of his family being killed and eaten by zombies.
This time he was driving to the abandoned city. Thinking of facing those terrifying beasts... Du Long couldn't help but feel nervous.
Even though he had done some psychological construction for himself before, he thought he was ready. He also expected to contribute to the Victor Alliance team through this operation and win corresponding recognition. However... the reality was cruel.
Wang Qiang on the side could see Du Long's nervousness, but he didn't feel any disappointment or ridicule about it.
On the contrary, in his opinion, Du Long's reaction was too normal and real.
This also reminded him of what Xu Renjie often taught them back then.
Words... Fear is a normal human emotion. You must learn to get used to fear, and then use fear to make fear become your own powerful tool instead of being controlled by fear.
Wang Qiang naturally didn't understand what Lao Xu meant by these words at first.
But after a year of tempering in the last days and experiencing all kinds of life and death... Wang Qiang increasingly understood the inner meaning of Lao Xu's words.
Therefore, when he saw Du Long at this moment, he thought of himself as a rookie.
Raising his hand to pat Du Long's slightly trembling right arm on the steering wheel, Wang Qiang said calmly: "Brother Long, don't be nervous, don't take this too seriously. You were just running the car at that time. How you usually run, you will run today."
The abandoned city is indeed not peaceful, but don’t be afraid.
We were all in the car, and the clothes were tightly closed even if we weren’t wearing them. The car was also specially welded and reinforced. Even if there is trouble on the road, the zombies can't get in.
As for you, just focus on driving and drive the car safely. You don't have to worry about other things.
If you really have to deal with zombies, we will not put you in danger, don’t worry! !
I, Wang Qiang, cannot guarantee anything else, but on this point, I can still confidently guarantee you based on my experience in destroying the city in the past year. "
Not to mention, Wang Qiang's reassurance somewhat calmed down Du Long's nervousness.
He is nervous because he has no confidence in himself.
On the other hand, considering that this operation is important to the team, if you fail, you will probably be kicked out of the team.
You said that in this end of the world, after experiencing the purgatory-like living environment of skinheads, and then coming to the Victory Alliance team...who wants to be kicked out, who wants to leave such a harmonious team?
"Oh, thank you Qiangzi, I, I, to tell you the truth, I am indeed a little nervous. I thought I was ready, but... but, after listening to what you said just now, I, I feel much better. Thank you." Du Long gave Wang Qiang a grateful look.
Wang Qiang smiled and patted Du Long's arm again: "It's okay. It's normal to be nervous. You've done a very good job. It's my first mission to destroy the city... Haha, I don't have the shame to tell you."
Wang Qiang's words were obviously to appease Du Long.
Anyone who knows Wang Qiang's character and has worked with Wang Qiang knows that he is the same type of desperate man like Lao Wei.
If he hadn't met Yang Xue, if he hadn't been deeply affected and grown up, it would have been impossible for Wang Qiang to say such empathetic words to Du Long at this moment.
He would definitely take a chicken blood sample to remind Du Long to cheer up, which was more preaching than comforting.
"gone!"
"Oh, okay." Du Long came back to his senses, exhaled, and started the car.
An old driver is an old driver after all. After the car hit the road, Du Long's whole state immediately changed and he became a completely different person.
Wang Qiang did not forget one of the tasks in this operation, he needed to observe Du Long.
Therefore, he quietly glanced at Du Long from time to time.
Some things cannot be hidden. Looking at Du Long's skillful operation and reloading skills, Wang Qiang can be sure... Du Long did not lie, he did have a freight driver.
