Everyone observed carefully and found that this was a wide square with many temporary tents set up on the ground, and the sounds came from each tent.
Apparently, because Tang Jiumin and others broke through the military blockade time and time again, the temporary shelter had no time to move. The survivors were notified and entered the tent in advance to hide.
Not far away, a group of special police officers were pointing guns at them, obviously stationed here.
Tang Jiumin believed that as long as they dared to get out of the car, the other party would shoot immediately.
Sitting in the car, Tang Jiumin shouted to the outside:
"If I were you, I wouldn't point my gun at this place, because there are still hostages in our car! On the contrary, you have nothing to fear from me. If you push me too hard, the worst possible outcome is that you will be buried in a shelter!"
"You have to think about it! Put down the gun! We can get you out safely!"
"Since the military has repeatedly betrayed us and has no credibility at all, we will need survivors as hostages. As long as the military does not go back on its word and plot against us, no one, including the survivors, will have to die!"
After Tang Jiumin finished speaking, he found that the leading special police officer picked up the communicator to communicate. He didn't know what instructions the military had given. He only saw the other party raising his hand and the rest of them lowered their weapons.
Both sides looked at each other, each on guard.
Then, the leading SWAT officer took out a file from his backpack, raised his hands, and slowly approached while talking.
"I have no weapons on me. You can look at this document in my hand."
Finally, the other party stopped at a position less than three meters away from the "terrorist leader" and reached out to hand the document to Tang Jiumin.
"It contains the personnel list of the entire shelter, as well as the distribution of supplies. As per your request, we are leaving here."
"However, I hope you can allocate enough food to the survivors during the time you control the shelter. No matter what, this is a temporary shelter, a place used to save people!"
"Of course I will consider it, but you can't order me." Tang Jiumin's eyes flashed slightly, and he snatched the so-called document. He only spoke after realizing that the other party was not deceiving.
"Now, please take your people and the three wounded in our car and leave immediately."
The tone was gentle, but it expressed a very firm intention to expel.
The special police officer took a deep look at Tang Jiumin and immediately followed the arrangement.
That look... Tang Jiumin couldn't help but click his tongue twice in his heart. If looks could kill, maybe he would have been executed just now.
The other party left with the people.
After they left completely, Tang Jiumin immediately turned around and ordered behind him:
"You go to the center of the square first and set up the cannon."
"Now, check those tents one by one to ensure safety."
Yefim nodded.
Liu Ziyun and others next to him heard Tang Jiumin's words and looked at each other. No need for unnecessary explanation, they understood the meaning of Tang Jiumin's words.
When Yefim walked to the center of the square and set up the machine cannon, Tang Jiumin led people to the tent area opposite.
Everyone still did not put down their weapons. Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun opened the tent, and the others pointed their guns inside. A panicked cry came from the tent.
All survivors, all civilians.
Tang Jiumin exited the tent and walked to the next one... Soon, all the tents were checked, and all the tents were filled with civilians. At least, no special police officers hiding in them were found yet.
However, the threat has not been eliminated.
Although the military asked the soldiers in the temporary shelter to evacuate, the sound of helicopters circling continued to be heard outside the shelter, and armored vehicles also arrived outside the high wall.
They cannot give up easily.
Tang Jiumin glanced at the direction of the gate and said, "Li Changfu, take someone to drive over and seal the gap in the gate."
This trick can be learned and put into practice. Previously, the military used cars to block the intersection. Now, Tang Jiumin and the others used the same method to retaliate against the military.
Li Changfu took action immediately.
Tang Jiumin looked at the others again, "Spread out, but don't stay too far apart. Monitor all civilians and never let them do anything to threaten us!"
Not worrying about others, Tang Jiumin directly handed over the matter to Liu Ziyun. After all, this was an expert who had systematically learned reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
After giving all these instructions, Tang Jiumin came to a tent. There was a man restrained by handcuffs inside, who was the search and rescue team leader.
Tang Jiumin walked straight to the search and rescue team leader and stopped.
"I have sent people out to take out the wounded men under your command. Now I have some questions to ask you. I suggest you answer them truthfully."
Even though the search and rescue team leader became a prisoner, he was not afraid of threats. "You can ask some questions selectively, but I may not always be able to answer them."
He looked reluctant to cooperate.
Tang Jiumin nodded understandingly, "I understand. You are a soldier. You have your own sense of what you should say and what you shouldn't say. But don't worry. What I want to ask is very simple. It's about this city."
The search and rescue team leader was stunned, obviously not expecting what Tang Jiumin wanted to ask.
About the city...?
"What kind of problem is this?" the search and rescue team leader said, with a bit of a smile on his face. He said sarcastically: "Don't you know about our city before coming here? This is impossible!"
"Sir, I think you still have some misunderstandings about us." Tang Jiumin spread his hands and shook his head, "I still say what I said, we are not terrorists."
After his words fell, both parties fell into silence for a while. After a while, the search and rescue team leader spoke out again, breaking the suffocating atmosphere.
"indeed……"
"There is a big difference between you and the terrorists I imagined. The people in your team have at best the psychological quality of ordinary people. If they are to act alone, they may not be able to commit even the most basic crimes."
"From my personal observation, only you and that black man can achieve the psychological quality of a terrorist."
"Besides, that black man has no habits of a terrorist at all. He is more like a soldier."
"Maybe what you said is true. You are not terrorists. But in our electronic archives, it is clearly marked that you are terrorists."
Having said this, the search and rescue team leader looked at Tang Jiumin inquiringly, "Others may not be, but you must have connections with terrorist organizations."
The two sides had communicated a lot, but the stubborn search and rescue team leader always identified Tang Jiumin as the terrorist.
Tang Jiumin shook his head helplessly, "Sorry, neither am I. Even before this, we didn't know that there were terrorists wreaking havoc in the city."
"This is just a misunderstanding. It's a pity that now it's not a matter of pursuing the misunderstanding, but that we have a conflict that is difficult to mediate."
"First of all, we killed some people on your side. This is a conflict that is difficult to reconcile, so we, a group of people, have to save ourselves."
The search and rescue team leader was silent for a moment and replied: "I am a soldier, and it is my bounden duty to obey orders."
The next second, he changed the topic, "But you are right. No matter what, if you kill our people, even my commander will never let you go easily!"
Tang Jiumin nodded in agreement. At the same time, he took out an automatic rifle from the side and stood it on the ground. "This gun is a weapon issued by your army, right?"
Ask this?
The search and rescue team leader was a little confused, but he still nodded and admitted, "Yes, the weapon was just issued."
"Just sent it? When exactly?" Tang Jiumin immediately frowned and asked.
The search and rescue team leader was a little confused and answered truthfully, "Just a few days ago, everyone in the army got new weapons."
"So, all the soldiers' weapons are brand new?" Tang Jiumin asked again.
The search and rescue team leader couldn't help but inquire, "Yes, why do you ask?"
Tang Jiumin did not answer the other party's doubts, but only further confirmed, "This grenade, as well as the body armor and walkie-talkies you are wearing, are all brand new?"
"...Yes, that's right, they are all brand new."
The other party asked questions about several new weapons in succession, which made the search and rescue team leader feel an indescribable weirdness. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"
Tang Jiumin lowered his head in thought and suddenly said, "Nothing, I just think your army is very lucky. A few days before the crisis broke out, all of them happened to be equipped with new weapons."
"And I heard you talk about the army outside the city... In other words, the virus broke out in the city, but it was not affected outside the city. Am I right?"
These are not secrets. The search and rescue team leader answered readily, "Yes, there are only a few soldiers on leave, and the rest of the soldiers are not infected."
Tang Jiumin suddenly laughed, "Oh, it seems that you have taken good precautions. This makes me curious. It is obviously an emergency, but your reaction speed is too fast, right?"
"No comment."
The search and rescue captain refused to answer the final question.
When Tang Jiumin heard this, he continued to search for things with his head lowered, "Understood, by the way, this is the weapon of the city's special police, a submachine gun. You should be able to identify it?"
By now, the search and rescue team leader had already guessed what Tang Jiumin was going to ask.
"Yes, it's also a new weapon that was just issued."
"...The army has just issued new weapons, and the special police have also just issued new weapons. Sir, this wave of operations in your city cannot be said to be untimely."
The search and rescue team leader didn't answer.
Tang Jiumin couldn't see anything from the other person's face, so he stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I have asked all the questions I wanted to ask. Mr. Captain, I think this is an end to this pleasant exchange."
After saying that, Tang Jiumin was ready to leave.
At this time, the search and rescue team leader stared at Tang Jiumin's leaving figure and asked with a hint of trepidation, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Mr. Captain, this has nothing to do with you. As for the negotiations, let's wait until the end of the night."
After replying perfunctorily to the other party, Tang Jiumin turned on the communicator and contacted the military commander.
"Mr. Commander, I know what you want. The negotiation time is set for tomorrow morning. You must protect our personal safety tonight. After all, I don't want to be silenced by the organization, nor do I want zombies to break in."
"I can cooperate with you, but I want to make sure that you can ensure that we will not be silenced."
"You should know what I mean."
In less than a second, a reply came from the communicator, "The military will ensure your safety, but I hope you will not act rashly. The entire temporary shelter is surrounded by the military, and you will not be able to escape!"
"The only way out for you is to reach a consensus in negotiations with us and finally strive for leniency. Think carefully and think carefully!"
"Mr. Commander, you are really confident." Faced with the warning words, Tang Jiumin was not nervous at all, and his tone was relaxed and calm.
"Don't worry, I will think it over carefully. Of course, I also hope that you will abide by the rules if you go back on your word, because we have more lives here."
At this point, Tang Jiumin's tone suddenly turned cold, "Unless you have a way to catch us all, everything you have done will be in vain."
"Know."
Both parties reached an agreement.
As the call between the two ended, helicopters and armored vehicles began to move around the temporary shelter. In addition to this large and noisy military equipment, Tang Jiumin and others also discovered groups of troops appearing around the shelter.
It was a thinly veiled arrangement that allowed the military to surround the sanctuary.
In the distance, Liu Ziyun had already led his men to arrange the surrounding area, making sure that the troops outside could not directly rush into the shelter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Ziyun quickly came to Tang Jiumin and asked as soon as they met:
"There's suddenly so much commotion outside. What's going on? Have you got any news here?"
"Wait a moment." Tang Jiumin turned to look in the other direction, "E Sihui, come here quickly, I have something to ask you."
"Captain Tang, what do you need me to do?" E Sihui ran over and asked.
"I asked you to check the condition of those vehicles. How are they now? How many new and old vehicles are there?" This is the question that Tang Jiumin wants to confirm the most right now.
E Sihui reported truthfully, "They are all there. As for the vehicles I have checked so far, there are some old ones and some new ones. Captain Tang, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but I really can't see anything wrong with these cars."
"Yeah……"
Tang Jiumin raised his hand and pointed to the buses outside, and then pointed to the military police car, "Are these inspections done?"
E Sihui immediately replied: "I took a look just now. They are all used old cars. Is there any problem with this?"
Tang Jiumin shook his head, "Old car? Do you mean the vehicle number or the internal structure?"
Confused by Tang Jiumin's question, E Sihui subconsciously said, "Number or internal structure? I feel there is no difference..."
"Ah." Tang Jiumin showed a meaningful smile, "The difference is huge! Go and take a look at the internal structure of these cars. I have a hunch that the underwater part of this city will soon reveal its true colors."
"good."
Although E Sihui was puzzled, he still obeyed the instructions and went over to check again. After a while, E Sihui came back, but this time, his expression became obviously strange.
As soon as he arrived in front of Tang Jiumin, he said, "Something is wrong, something is very wrong..."
"These cars...the serial numbers show that some were purchased three years ago, but the components inside are all new. Whether they are police cars, buses, or other cars, they are all brand new."
"But why..."
