"Director!"
Seeing the middle-aged man stepping out of the car, all the guards at the city gate saluted and greeted him in unison, with their faces full of awe and respect.
The middle-aged man saw Tang Jun not far away at a glance. While sizing up Tang Jun, he walked straight over.
Tang Jun was also looking at the middle-aged man and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
No matter from his body shape or facial expression, it can be seen that this person is not a simple figure. The iron-blooded aura all over his body can be seen at a glance as a person who has been on the battlefield!
Soon, a middle-aged man called Director-General came to Tang Jun.
"Come from Echeng?"
The middle-aged man looked Tang Jun up and down, then looked at the row of armored vehicles behind Tang Jun, and asked slowly, with a fairly calm attitude.
"yes."
I don't know if it was because of the same iron-blooded aura in the middle-aged man, or because of those fearless eyes, but Tang Jun couldn't help but straighten his waist, hold his head high, and answered in a military tone.
"Been a soldier?"
The middle-aged man showed a hint of surprise and asked with a smile.
"That's right, I once belonged to the Echeng Special Police Brigade!"
Tang Jun nodded and replied with the same smile.
"good."
"Are you Duanmu Feng?"
The middle-aged man nodded approvingly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked directly.
"no..."
"How do you know?"
Tang Jun was stunned for a moment, shook his head and asked.
"Who can have such a large formation and come from E City, besides people from the City of Hope?"
"I know you didn't tell the truth to the guard just now. It's good to be cautious, I understand."
The middle-aged man smiled and said confidently.
"I'll go ask our Feng Shuai to come over."
Tang Jun smiled sheepishly and walked quickly towards Duanmu Feng.
The guard standing next to the middle-aged man, who had been asking Tang Jun questions, was already stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that he had almost driven away the famous Duan Mufeng!
After a while, Duan Mufeng slowly followed Tang Jun to the middle-aged man and introduced him to him.
Perhaps because he was also born in the military, Tang Jun always showed more or less intimacy to the middle-aged man in front of him, and he had a kind of unreasonable trust.
"Hello, I am Zhao Changqing, director of the Kyoto Defense Department!"
The middle-aged man looked at Duanmu Feng and extended his right hand with a smile.
"My name is Duanmu Feng."
Duan Mufeng also extended his hand, and Zhao Changqing shook it gently, in a simple and direct manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
"I've admired your name for so long! I never thought you would actually come!"
Zhao Changqing smiled and nodded, looking at Duan Mufeng with admiration and said.
"The country calls me, how can I not come?"
Duanmu Feng said with a smile.
"Have you ever been a soldier?"
Zhao Changqing asked in surprise.
"No, but I have been fortunate enough to be on the battlefield. There is no doubt about my patriotism."
Duan Mufeng shook his head and said with a smile.
"Okay, it doesn't matter. It's great if you can come. Come and register. I'll take you into the city."
Zhao Changqing smiled and waved his hand, pointed to the guard box at the city gate, and said slowly.
"There's no rush, the issue hasn't been settled yet."
Duan Mufeng shook his head and stood still.
Although he was also impressed by Zhao Changqing's iron-blooded aura that came from the military, he still had to talk clearly about what should be discussed.
"Oh, you're talking about handing over weapons, right? That's right. The reason why all the forces that come to participate in recruitment are asked to hand over their weapons is to ensure that nothing unpleasant happens between the forces."
"But it doesn't matter. You don't need your people. I believe you can control your men well. Besides, besides you, you can bring ten people in, and they don't have to hand over their weapons."
Zhao Changqing smiled and said seriously.
Hearing Zhao Changqing's words, the guards on the side were stunned again. Unexpectedly, Zhao Changqing actually made an exception and changed the rules.
Faced with such kindness, Duanmu Feng was a little surprised to be honest, because he knew the meaning behind these rules.
"Since Director Zhao is so grand, I can't be unreasonable. I don't need to bring ten people, I will just bring him in alone, and he won't bring weapons."
Duanmu Feng smiled, pointed at Tang Jun, and said slowly.
Since others have given him face, he cannot make it difficult for others.
If someone treats him with respect, he will be treated with respect.
"That's fine, you decide for yourself."
Zhao Changqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, the admiration in his eyes even more obvious.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Mufeng took Tang Jun to the guard box to register, drove an armored vehicle, followed the military jeep in front, and slowly drove into the city gate.
Xiaofei and Tianlongwei all stayed outside the city, and people from the Kyoto Defense Department took them to the camp.
Zhao Changqing did not ride in his own car, but to show his loyalty as a landlord, he sat on an armored vehicle and was responsible for guidance.
"You are the latest ones to come. Today is the last day to register. Why are you here so late?"
On the way, Zhao Changqing asked slowly with a hint of curiosity.
"Something's been delayed."
Duanmu Feng smiled and said something casually.
Seeing that Duan Mufeng didn't want to say more, Zhao Changqing just smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.
The Kyoto area within the besieged city did not suffer much damage, and almost all of it was caused when the apocalypse first came. It seemed that Kyoto responded quickly at that time, and many survivors could be seen on the streets. Take a stroll.
There are even shops and restaurants!
It seems that this place has not suffered the baptism of the end of the world and has been restored to its original order. It is a completely different world from the outside of the besieged city.
"Director Zhao, I want to walk around the city first. Today is the last day to sign up, right? That means you just need to sign up before dark, right?"
After walking halfway, Duanmu Feng suddenly looked at Zhao Changqing and spoke again.
"Yes, that's right."
"Is everything okay? Do you need help?"
Zhao Changqing nodded, and then asked with some confusion.
"No, I'm just looking around. After all, the only place that can maintain normal order like this is probably Kyoto."
Duanmu Feng smiled and said slowly.
"Okay, then pull over and park. I'll go back first. You can walk around. Just get to the meeting point before seven o'clock."
Zhao Changqing didn't ask too much, and immediately wrote down the location of the meeting point for Duanmu Feng on the paper, then got out of the car, got back on the military jeep, and left straight away.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Mufeng asked Tang Jun to drive the armored vehicle, change the direction according to the route he gave, and drive forward.
Since you have come to Kyoto and want to find the past, you must first go to a place.
"What do you think of Zhao Changqing?"
On the way, Duan Mufeng suddenly asked.
"ah?"
"Oh, that's right. He should be a veteran of at least ten years. He has been on the battlefield and is upright. He should be trustworthy."
Tang Jun was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said seriously.
"There is indeed nothing wrong with his character, but as for whether he is trustworthy or not, it is too early to say. Don't forget, if it were in a peaceful era, Kyoto would never allow a force like us to exist."
"Even now, if by any chance our purpose is not aligned with Kyoto's purpose, then even if Zhao Changqing has no problem, he will be ordered to take action against us."
"Some things have nothing to do with character or right or wrong."
Duanmu Feng paused and said something meaningful.
Hearing Duan Mufeng's reminder, Tang Jun, who was driving, couldn't help but trembled, and instantly realized that there was a serious problem with his position.
"I understand, Feng Shuai."
After thinking deeply in silence, Tang Jun swallowed and answered seriously.
Duan Mufeng didn't say anything more. He leaned on his seat and looked sideways at the familiar streets and buildings outside the car window, once again immersed in the memories of the past.
After a long time, when the armored vehicle drove into another street, some figures who were obviously not local residents of Kyoto appeared on the street.
They were dressed in different styles, and their behavior and behavior showed that they were not ordinary people. They seemed to be divided into several groups, each gathering together. Although they did not carry hot weapons on their bodies, almost everyone carried cold weapons.
"These people should also be here to participate in recruitment, right?"
Tang Jun also discovered those people and said slowly while driving.
Duan Mufeng didn't say anything, just glanced casually for a few times and then continued to look ahead, because the first place he was looking for was about to arrive...
