Doomsday rat

His head was almost agitated by the high and low shouts. He had never paid attention to Hong Tao's voice before, and only now did he know what it meant to be shrill and howling ghosts and howling wolves. fear.

"..." Hong Tao lowered his head and said nothing, with a lot of snot and tears dripping down the tip of his nose.

"..." Gao Tian looked back at Ah Jing, and the woman shook her head, indicating that she hadn't done anything cruel and her life would not be in danger.

"If you don't want to suffer anymore, you can answer whatever I ask... Fuck, pretend to be dead, believe it or not, I will make your life worse than death!" Gao Tianyi continued to ask after receiving the assurance of a professional, but Hong Tao still had that dying look. Even if he was kicked, he still didn't respond.

Chapter 1128 We are loyal to life

"What's going on?" Gao Tianyi panicked now, walked up to Ah Jing, and asked in a low voice.

"It didn't hit a vital point, it's just a skin trauma... Unless there is something wrong with his heart, adrenaline will speed up his heartbeat..." Ah Jing tilted her head and looked at Hong Tao, still a little uncertain.She has only received training in this area, but she is not a professional interrogator. She only has theoretical knowledge in this area and lacks practical experience.

"Damn it... Lao Bangcai! I can't leave for too long, you stay here to watch carefully, find something to cover him first, and don't make any mistakes. Wait until Chu Qiu, Jiao Qiao, and Lin Na's affairs are dealt with , and settle accounts with him again!"

After thinking about it, Gao Tianyi decided not to take any risks.Although Hong Tao has always shown extraordinary physical fitness, he is still an old man in his 60s after all. If he doesn't keep his heart in order, there is something wrong with his heart. Once something goes wrong, the loss outweighs the gain.Now he doesn't have much time to spend here, and there are more important issues to be solved.

Chu Qiu fell ill, to be precise, was infected, and the symptoms were manifested as high fever and confusion.The source of infection is very special, it is an individual, Hong Tao to be precise.

On the way the Ministry of Internal Affairs took the suspect and Hong Tao to the air crew of Shahe Airport in the north of the city, the director, Chu Qiu, met with Hong Tao in private for some reason, but was bitten on his wrist, and fell into a coma on the way back state.

This point has been confirmed by Lan Yuer, director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was in charge of the escort. She admitted that she had made a mistake, but the director just wanted to ask Hong Tao a few questions face to face. I thought nothing would happen, but an accident happened.

Hu Ran personally took the doctor to Chuqiu's house to see him. Sure enough, he was already unconscious. He was injected with antibiotics and special medicines but he didn't get better. He could only send the blood sample to the medical laboratory to see if he could find out the problem.

And Hong Tao has been isolated to a secret isolation point in the medical laboratory, under the supervision of special personnel, and no one can get close until the source of infection is found out.No one was willing to approach, and it was all thrown to the Ministry of Health as a burden.

After this set of operations, Gao Tianyi has temporarily controlled Chu Qiu and Hong Tao, and no one will be suspicious in a short time.Even though Zhou Yuan made a lot of noise and refused to let go at the ministerial meeting, the other ministers and Randy did not agree to the request for visitation.

At this moment, Lin Na and Jiao Qiao resigned suddenly. The couple said they were unwell, and they didn't want to get involved in Chu Qiu and Hong Tao's affairs. They resolutely resigned from their current positions, and moved to the pasture in the safety zone in the north of the city that day. He lived in the village, closed the door to thank guests, and saw no one except Lan Yuer.

The loss of three irreplaceable top officials in just two days has caused the alliance management to fall into a semi-paralyzed state instantly. It is not that the work cannot be carried out, but that people's hearts are fluctuating, and the pattern between factions has undergone tremendous changes.

After losing the two banners of Jiao Qiao and Lin Na, the original absolute neutral faction immediately collapsed and scattered, looking for their own ways out.

Although the reformists did not fall, they were under considerable pressure.Zhou Yuan has always been Hong Tao's most staunch supporter. Now Hong Tao has become the source of infection of an unknown disease. There are different opinions on whether it is a new type of zombie disease.

The royalist faction and the neutral faction took advantage of the opportunity to go full steam ahead, mobilizing all their connections, attacking everywhere and robbing people.As long as it is a discerning person, it is not difficult to see that the management structure will undergo major changes.

Gao Tianyi, who took over temporarily as the chairman of the board, clearly supported the reformists, and his momentum was strong.The neutral faction led by Secretary-General Randy has a natural disadvantage. There are too many foreign survivors, which seriously affects the joining of local survivors, and the expansion speed is not ideal.It won't be long before the reformers will dominate.

In this situation, who assassinated Hong Tao, and whether the refugee assembly will come again, except for a small number of people, no one cares about it anymore.The biggest controversy right now is the proposal of the reformers for the military management of the self-administered zone. After two rounds of discussions, the neutralists and the royalists are almost unable to withstand the aggressive offensive of the reformers.

If a consensus cannot be reached at the third ministerial meeting, there will only be a forced vote, and the final result is likely to be the proposal of the reformers.As long as this proposal is submitted to the council, it is obvious that martial law is imperative.

"Ah..." Watching the plane leaving the runway and gradually taking off into the sky, Zhou Yuan let out a long sigh.

The past ten days seemed like a year to her, and the political situation took a turn for the worse, which made her clever head unable to deal with it.Not only do they have to watch the reformists grow rapidly in the government, they are helpless, but they also have to bear a lot of pressure because Hong Tao bit Chu Qiu.

"Mr. Zhou, is Captain Hong really infected with the zombie disease?" At this moment, there were soft footsteps behind him, and Pei Shanxi walked over alone.

"We can't be sure yet, we have to wait for the test results from the medical laboratory." Regarding this question, Zhou Yuan firmly does not believe it. She has Hong Tao's blood in her body. If she is infected, it should be earlier.

But the Ministry of Health is Chu Qiu's territory, and he has no way of getting involved, and he has no way of knowing where Hong Tao is being held for a comprehensive inspection.In the face of intensifying rumors, we can only believe in science.

"Don't you think it's strange that Minister Jiao and Minister Lin resigned suddenly? It happened so coincidentally. When I went to the self-administered area to escort the prisoners, I saw Captain Hong from a distance. He behaved normally and showed no signs of illness at all.

Director Lan also asked us to go first on the road, and her convoy dragged behind. That's when the meeting between Chairman Chu and Captain Hong happened. You should ask Director Lan. Her performance that day was a bit abnormal, and she seemed a little nervous. "

If anyone else is disgusted with the current situation, Pei Shanxi should be the same as Zhou Yuan.She has never supported reformists, but because she is a soldier and cannot participate in politics, she firmly supports Jiao Qiao to remain neutral.

But she couldn't investigate the whole story of this matter, and she couldn't even leave the station without the order of the deputy minister Zhang Tao.Today, Zhou Yuan came to the airport to send the two special envoys away, so I had the opportunity to talk about the doubts in my heart.

"... Lan Yu'er does have a problem, but she is currently acting as an agent for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she can always avoid it, and there is nothing I can do!"

Why didn't Zhou Yuan want to ask Lan Yu'er for clarification, but the sphere of influence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always been outside the alliance, and it is impossible to investigate internally. As long as Lin Na can't be seen, there is no way to think about it.

"I know Minister Jiao and Minister Lin's ranch, and I can take you there with me. Lan Yuer and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't stop the air crew. As long as the plan is careful, it can be successful without resorting to drastic measures!"

As expected of being a soldier, Pei Shanxi was determined not to blind BB if he could do it. If he was in a hurry, he would make a killer move. Even the military police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to kill him, without any scruples about the consequences.

"...Wait a little longer, I have already asked Gou Chenzhi to rush back, and he will arrive tomorrow, let's see if he can get anything out of Lan Yuer's mouth. Captain Pei, if there is no conspiracy behind all this, you can Aren't you afraid of going to court-martial?"

Zhou Yuan paced a few steps with her hands behind her back, feeling that it was not the best time to take the risk.But she was a little concerned about this plan, and planned to explore Pei Shanxi's thoughts.

"They have no chance to judge me...Captain Hong said that people have to choose their lives with their feet. We have worked hard and paid, but unfortunately we still don't belong to this land. Rather than compromise, it is better to get together and break up. If we can find Captain Hong, I am willing to take him away with me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Pei Shanxi expressed his thoughts clearly.Obviously, this is not her decision alone. In addition to some officers and soldiers in the Air Service Regiment, there must be support from some foreign officers and soldiers in the Air Force and Navy.

"...you trust me so much?" Zhou Yuan couldn't believe it so straightforwardly.

"It's like you believe in Captain Hong... For so many years, when it comes to adhering to the rule system, very few people can truly match their words with deeds. You are the most steadfast among them. This incident shows that Minister Jiao and Minister Lin It's not reliable, only you are still persisting."

Pei Shanxi is still so clean and tidy. Her judgment method is very simple, even crude, but it is the most essential, and it is also the essence summed up by ancient Chinese people for thousands of years. When the time period is extended to a certain extent, it is possible to roughly determine a person's true thoughts.

"Hahahaha...It's so interesting, besides him, the one who understands me is actually you...Well, it's rare to have another bosom friend, so let's give it a try. Be ready to act at all times, wait for my news, take care!"

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan broke out into a burst of laughter that could not be described as sad or happy, and she looked less decadent. She patted Pei Shanxi on the shoulder and strode towards the carriage.

Chapter 1129 The Outsider

At night, a carriage with the emblem of the Council drove out of the north gate of the Temple of Earth, and slowly walked west along the quiet and deserted streets.He Wanjun sat in the driver's seat and tightened her cloak. Although spring has begun, the temperature at night is still not high, and this year is another cold spring.

But the coldness in the body is far less uncomfortable than the coolness in the heart. For the past ten days, she has been guarding the bedside, taking care of her meticulously for more than ten hours a day, but the condition of the godmother still hasn't improved.

According to Hu Ran, Chu Qiu's heart and kidneys have already shown signs of failure.Generally speaking, if one major organ fails, the probability of survival does not exceed 30.00%, and if two major organs fail, the probability of survival does not exceed [-]%.

Moreover, organ failure is irreversible. Even if you survive, you will not be able to return to a normal state in the rest of your life.Now it is completely maintained by machines and drugs. Once the ventilator is removed, people will die immediately.

The most troublesome thing is that the cause cannot be found. According to the preliminary test results of the medical laboratory, there is indeed a virus similar to the zombie virus in Chu Qiu's body, but the specific medicine is useless to it, and there is no sign of mutation, but the organs have suffered serious damage .

The results of the inspection were in line with the rumors of being infected by the zombie virus, but He Wanjun did not believe it, because she knew very well in her heart that on the day Grandpa Hong returned to the base with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the godmother never left home, how could she secretly meet and be arrested? Infect.

That night, she personally sent her godmother home, and she went there again an hour later, trying to send in the meeting minutes left in the car, when she accidentally found a familiar person coming out of the courtyard, Xu Jing.

Others may not be familiar with Xu Jing, and she really doesn't appear in the council very often. Even when she does, she covers her head tightly with a hat, covering most of her face.

But He Wanjun must realize that, as Chuqiu's personal secretary and goddaughter, all the things that the chairman of the board is inconvenient to come out to personally have been arranged by her all these years, including handing over some unspeakable things to this woman to handle .

According to the godmother, this woman is a team leader of the supervisory team of the council. In name, this team is an investigator who assists the directors in their search. In fact, some of the members have been gradually trained by Gao Tianyi to become intelligence agents. operatives and special agents, specializing in providing intelligence and solving troubles for the high-level council.

Why did Xu Jing come out of her godmother's yard at night?This is very abnormal behavior.With the character of a godmother, if she has something to do, she will never directly explain it to the staff below. The more confidential things are, the more she must convey them by herself, and it has always been like this.

Even though He Wanjun was unable to speak, she had a smart head. She didn't ask Xu Jing face to face, and she didn't enter the courtyard immediately. Instead, she stuck behind Xu Jing's carriage and followed her until Xizhimen.

After leaving the base, there are very few government carriages, and it is very easy to be found if you follow them.Moreover, there is no refugee life in the west of the city. It is mainly the material warehouses and factories of various departments, which belong to the military control area. Anyone who wants to move in this area will be recorded in detail by the many military checkpoints along the way.

After she came back, she didn't go to the small courtyard again, but sat in the carriage and waited for the godmother to call through the intercom.But after sitting all night, I didn't receive any message until noon, and I didn't see anyone coming in or out of the godmother's yard.

Helpless, she had no choice but to return to the council for lunch. Unexpectedly, in the cafeteria, she heard that her godmother had suddenly fallen into a coma and had just been taken from home to Ditan Hospital by ambulance.

From this day on, He Wanjun silently waited for her godmother beside the hospital bed.During this period, most government officials came to visit, but she and no one mentioned that she saw Xu Jing coming out of the small courtyard that night.

Ever since she was rescued by Hong Tao, she understood that there is no limit to the dangers of the human heart.I have been with my godmother for so many years, although she has never held any position, but she just can't speak, and she is not blind. After a long period of time, I have learned a truth, no one is trustworthy!

The godmother may have been harmed by others, but she speaks lightly and can't find anyone to trust. If she speaks out rashly, what she gets in return may not be help but another harm.

It's too easy to shut up this little person who has no official position and no sense of existence. The only hope is to pray for God's blessing and let the godmother get better as soon as possible.

"Uh, uh, uh..." Just as they were about to reach the west gate of the park, the carriage that had been driving in front stopped suddenly, and a man got out of the carriage, carrying a big box in his hand, and occupied the other half of the road.

Although it was very late, this was the core area of ​​the base, and there were soldiers from the air crew standing guard nearby. He Wanjun didn't think much of it, and yelled at the horses with a unique syllable to stop.

"Little dumb, aren't you afraid of being robbed by bad guys if you're still walking on the street at this late hour?" But that person actually came over with a suitcase, and because of the darkness, he was still wearing a top hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Ah, ah..." But when the other party opened his mouth, He Wanjun immediately knew who it was. A bright smile appeared on his gloomy face, and he hurriedly climbed down from the driver's seat, gesticulating with both hands to meet him.

"Let's go, let's get in the car and say... Oops, you're heavy again!" The visitor walked two steps quickly, and while talking, stretched out one arm to hug He Wanjun, while still holding the suitcase in the other hand. effortless.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss

"Yeah, I'm back. I've just arrived. I came to see you before I got home. Let's be righteous! Don't worry, talk while walking, I haven't eaten yet, let's find a place to pad our stomachs first!" The visitor can understand With complicated gestures, he picked up the reins and urged the carriage to continue on the road. The original driver had already walked towards He Wanjun's carriage.

We walked and chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the checkpoint, and was illuminated by street lights, revealing a young face under the top hat.There is light in the small eyes, the thin lips are slightly parted, the teeth are very white, but the two front teeth are a bit big, and the mustache on the upper lip is not ugly, but it is a bit funny.

"..." Facing the interrogation of the sentry, the visitor took out a dark red ID from his pocket.

"Salute..." The sentry took a look at the certificate, his face changed obviously, he returned his hands, stood at attention and saluted, and let him pass without asking any questions.

The Audit Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sounds like a financial and accounting department, but it is very unusual in the eyes of the high-level alliance.This department has nothing to do with finance, and its members have one and one spies who are all fake.

However, compared with the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this kind of spy is more likely to be respected by the members of the alliance. They have been stationed in other survivor groups for many years to perform tasks such as intelligence collection, topographic mapping, and subversion. They cannot be publicly commended if they succeed. , If you fail, there is only one dead end.

Among all the recognized dangerous occupations, laymen generally regard paratroopers as the best choice, while insiders will not hesitate to rank the audit department at the top, none of them.

Compared with paratroopers, their death rate is higher, and most of the time they don't know where the danger comes from and when it comes. 100% of them are heroes who have selflessly dedicated to the alliance with their heads up, and most of the time they are still unknown.

The average soldier may not know much about this department, but the Air Service Regiment must.Every year, members of the audit department train with the air crew, and every year some familiar faces never come back.Soldiers are more sensitive to danger than ordinary people, and they have a natural admiration for those who walk on the edge of danger all the year round without turning back.

In addition to admiration, the sentinel really has no right to inspect the personnel of the audit department.Assuming extremely high risks, it is natural to be compensated.Due to the nature of their work, members of the Audit Division have at least two identities, one internal and one external.Use the internal identity when returning to the base for vacation, and use another identity when there are tasks.

As long as they show the certificates of the audit department, unless there is a clear reason, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no right to inspect, let alone ask where they are going.This is not a privilege, but a protective measure.The danger is multiplied if the identity and whereabouts of the agent are known.

Chapter 1130 Outsider 2

"What are we doing here?" He Wanjun was probably too excited, and only then did he realize that the carriage had already left the base.

"It's not very safe in the base during this time, let's find a place where no one is paying attention."

"Yeah, the godmother hasn't woken up until now. Dr. Hu said that her situation is not optimistic..." Speaking of the things in the base, He Wanjun's smile disappeared immediately, and melancholy returned to her face.

"I came here specifically for this matter. The chairman suddenly fell ill, the two ministers resigned for no reason, and Grandpa Hong was accused of being the source of infection. The series of events were too sudden, too coincidental, and too strange. But I was familiar with them in the base. There are not many people here, so I can only ask you about the situation first."

Although he had already left the base, the man driving the car became more cautious. He didn't even speak, and switched to sign language.From the point of view of familiarity, he is no worse than He Wanjun.

"Little dog, even Minister Zhou can't control this matter, can you do it?" Hearing what the visitor said, He Wanjun was not overly vigilant, but rather worried.

Xiaogouzi sounds like a nickname or nickname, but it is not. His real surname is Gou, Gou Chenzhi, a little slave rescued by Hong Tao from the Punishment Army, and now the director of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

More than a year ago, Gou Chenzhi was ordered to go to the Southwest Alliance. As a coal merchant, he worked closely with local diplomats to collect military, political, and economic information on the other side.

A week ago, he received a secret order to return urgently. Although he didn't know why, he had to give up his long-used businessman status, board the transport plane of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and rush back day and night.

According to the itinerary, he should arrive at Xijiao Airport tomorrow, but spies are spies, not only are their whereabouts impossible for the enemy, but they also try to avoid their own people as much as possible.

On the way, Gou Chenzhi took advantage of his special status to take an Air Force night flight transfer bomber and returned to the capital base ahead of schedule.Even if someone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs leaks the news, tomorrow they will not see anyone at the airport, let alone monitor it.At present, apart from Zhou Yuan, no one knows that Director Gou, who is far away in the southwest, has been back for several hours.

Then why did you go to He Wanjun as soon as you came back?Not for anything else, just because he has the best relationship with He Wanjun, and the childhood friendship has not only continued, but also increased.If it wasn't for He Wanjun's low self-esteem, and Lin Na and Zhou Yuan's interference, the two would probably become husband and wife.

However, it was another childhood playmate of the two of them, the chubby Zhang Ke, who asked He Wanjun for news.After Zhou Yuan talked with Pei Shanxi, the first ally that Zhou Yuan thought of was Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke did not live up to this trust, and the two hit it off immediately and immediately devoted themselves to intelligence analysis.As a result, after much deliberation, the little fat man finally found a loophole that is not necessarily a loophole, He Wanjun.

This girl has been with Chu Qiu all year round, not only helping with work but also taking care of her private life, she must know more than outsiders.Such a big event happened in Chuqiu, but she was having lunch in the council at that time, so there was something wrong no matter what she thought.

But to get the truth out of He Wanjun's mouth, it's really not as easy as trying to find a way to meet Lin Na and Jiao Qiao.This girl is a mute herself, it is only natural that she doesn't speak, and she usually lives reclusively, and hardly has much contact with outsiders. No one knows what she thinks in her heart, and which side she is on.

As the saying goes, the most terrible thing is not the enemy, but often the friend.As a friend who played and grew up together, Zhang Ke knew that Gou Chenzhi had this ability, although he had no deep relationship with He Wanjun after he started working.

Although he, Lan Yu'er, Gou Chenzhi, and He Wanjun grew up together back then, they were also distantly related to each other.It may be a matter of identity. He Wanjun and Gou Chenzhi are a little bit sympathetic, the closest to each other, and the best relationship.

Even though Gou Chenzhi went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and He Wanjun stayed by Chuqiu's side, the friendship between the two did not break due to their political inclinations.Every time he came back from vacation, Gou Chenzhi not only went on a date with Lan Yuer, but also took He Wanjun out for dinner and movies, even if Lin Na came forward to persuade him to pay attention to the influence, he fell on deaf ears.

If anyone in the alliance other than Chu Qiu could tell the truth from this dumb girl... no, it should be from her gestures, Gou Chenzhi must be the best candidate.

"It's not that Minister Zhou doesn't want to take care of it. In fact, she's been trying to find a way, but she just can't find a reason to intervene. Jun Wan, you've been with the chairman all along. Why did you suddenly leave that day?" The carriage left the base and walked south. Just after leaving the Third Ring Road, I turned into a complex of buildings with dozens of red lanterns hanging across the street.

Compared with the past, the Three Rings Entertainment City is still brightly lit, but its popularity has dropped a lot.Just looking at the number of carriages, horses and small vendors at the door, one can tell that the customers inside are also half empty.

Ever since the large-scale rally ended, there was no news of Hong Tao being brought into the base, and strange things happened one after another at the top of the East Asian Alliance.As the saying goes, when gods fight with little devils, they suffer, and changes at the top directly affect the nerves of the middle.

In this turbulent environment, petty officials are staring at each other and racking their brains to feel the possible direction of the wind, trying to figure out a way out for their own future, so they don't have the mood to go outside for fun.

As soon as the middle class got nervous, the refugees at the bottom immediately panicked. Many prominent figures among the refugees began to regret that they were too active in participating in the rally.

"...I, I didn't leave. The chairman didn't go to see Grandpa Hong at all...Why did you bring me here? It's very expensive!" He Wanjun didn't find Gou Chenzhi's straight-forward questioning method abrupt, nor did he think it was a good idea. The elder brother came here deliberately to ask himself what's wrong with this kind of question.

To be honest, these days she really wants to find someone to talk to about her inner confusion, but unfortunately there is no suitable candidate, and now she can finally open her heart.But she has some resistance to this place, not because she is worried about her status, but because she is afraid that Gou Chenzhi will spend too much money.

The official members of the alliance are all under the rationing system, so they don't have to worry about food, drink and clothing, but they don't have much salary.Even high-risk practitioners like Gou Chenzhi don't get enough subsidies. They often go to this kind of place for consumption, and they have to vomit blood every time they come.

"Wait, let's go in and talk about it! Don't worry, brother Gou has made a small fortune in the past few months. Look, frowning again, it's not shady black-hearted money, but a bonus for completing additional tasks. It's a huge sum, and every week It’s enough to eat once for more than half a year.”

Gou Chenzhi raised his eyebrows and showed joy, but immediately stopped He Wanjun from continuing.Although there are not too many people here, it is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, so try to avoid showing your face as much as possible.

"Let's eat. There are squirrel mandarin fish and Maoxuewang that you like. Don't worry, just talk while eating." Entering the private room, the dishes were served quickly, not many, three hot and two cold.

"Well... on the day Grandpa Hong was assassinated, the ministerial meeting ended very late. My godmother and I left halfway and went back home. The godmother seemed to have something on her mind and forgot the minutes of the meeting in the car.

She has the habit of reading things before going to bed, so I planned to send her back, only to find that a person came out of the godmother's yard, boarded a carriage of the Ministry of Health and headed west. "

Compared with her usual dignified, beautiful and elegant appearance, He Wanjun at this time has completely let go of her pretense, eating like a carefree person, picking up fish with chopsticks is difficult, so just grab it!
