Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 267 Don't know the true face of Mount Lu

The morning light is faint, jumping between the few leaves and trunks.

The earth is getting warmer and the peninsula is bright.

On the national road from Yuan City to Gem City, a soldier lying in the grass licked his dry lips, took a big gulp from the water bottle he was carrying.

His stomach is not good, the water is very cold, and it is uncomfortable to drink.

But it doesn't matter, thinking of being able to avenge his hatred, thinking of immediately making that person from Maxim Cannery pay for what he did in the past, the discomfort in his body dissipated, and his whole body cheered up.

Not far from the right side of the soldier, Hou Hanmin bit a piece of white linen with his teeth, wrapped it round and round around the handle of the gun, and felt that the thickness was appropriate, so he pulled the two ends and tied it with a slipknot.

He straightened the gun, looked down at the scope, and felt that the situation was much better than before, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Feifei, Hou Susu will help your dad collect some interest this time..." Hou Hanmin took a deep breath, put the muzzle out of the grass, and pointed it at the road ahead.

In the encounter a month ago, Wang Puzhao was killed by Tang Yan, and the others were also killed by the enemy. Only he escaped the catastrophe by pretending to be dead and returned to Yuan City.

In the next month, his life changed a lot.

The way of life in Kite City is very different from that in Gem City. The daily food and clothing expenses are allotted by relevant departments, and the amount is determined by the population size, contribution to the collective, and special needs.

In fact... collectivization is not only manifested in the distribution of materials, the city lord's mansion even has the right to decide the marriage partner of adult men.

After that incident, Fei Xiang entrusted Wang Puzhao's wife to him... Anyway, the word "entrust" was used in the official document issued by the City Lord's Mansion.

Yes, he is Cuiyun's husband now.

In the past, the person he kept calling sister-in-law was now his wife.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a very good arrangement, only Hou Hanmin and Cuiyun know that this arrangement just looks good.

The girl who called him Hou Susu became his daughter, and the sister-in-law he respected before became his own woman.

There is a rough saying that delicious food is not as good as dumplings, and fun is not as good as sister-in-law.

But...he's really not a womanizer.

He knew very well that when Wang Puzhao climbed out of the car, he did not stop him, and he did not share life and death with him, because he was very afraid and did not want to die.

As a result, he survived, but the order of the city lord turned Cuiyun into his woman.

He had to face his wife's preoccupied face every day, with sad and longing eyes.

Cuiyun is beautiful and Feifei is very cute, but he is not happy, not at all.

It was more of a torture, a constant reminder of what he had done.

He was full of guilt in front of her; she was embarrassed and speechless in front of him, and the two had been married for a month without even touching hands, let alone making out in bed.

Why is this happening?

He was very depressed, but he didn't dare to question the decision of the City Lord's Mansion.

Until today, I finally found a chance to take revenge... no, it should be said to alleviate the guilt in my heart.

To put it bluntly, he is the most energetic and courageous soldier who participated in this mission.

In a ditch without water ten meters behind Hou Hanmin, Fei Xiang, the lord of Yuan City, held a map of the peninsula in his hand, staring at a circle drawn with a pencil on National Highway 308, lost in thought.

"Are you sure they'll be passing here in the early morning hours?"

"I'm sure."

Opposite Fei Xiang squatted a man with a fair face. He was wearing a brand-new military uniform, a brand-new pistol in his waist, brand-new military boots on his feet, and brand-new gloves on his hands.

It seems that the whole person is new.

If there are people from Jewel City here, they will definitely recognize his identity——Dong Pingchuan, the former deputy commander of the Jewel City Guards.

Before Hui Liancai, Chai Xiaonong, and Mei Lin conspired to attack the Pandaren Legion, in order to get support, they sent Dong Pingchuan to lobby the conservative committee members.

That decision helped him escape death in the melee.

"Xia Xin thinks those people can import a lot of sophisticated equipment without anyone noticing by pretending to be scavengers and merchants in District 21? Hmph! He's too naive."

After all, Dong Pingchuan had served as the deputy commander of the Gemstone City Defense Army and had a deep understanding of the Xia family, including business matters.

Starting from the day before yesterday, he had received reports from informants that the target persons working for the Xia family were making purchases in the city.

Affected by the death of Hui Liancai and Chai Xiaoming, and Xia Xin's monopoly of power in Gemstone City, he became an unwanted child. Even Huo Dongsheng avoided him and regarded him as a trouble.

This gap in treatment made him very angry and extremely unhappy.While hating Tang Yan and Xia Xin to death, they also have many, many grievances about their actions.

So this time he caught Xia Xin's pigtails, he didn't inform the side, but met Fei Xiang with the help of Yuancheng officials, and told the fact that Xia's family had purchased a batch of precision instruments and was going to send them to Gem City.

You must know that the conflict with the Pandaren Legion is in a state of undercurrent, and the conflict between Yuan City and the Pandaren Legion has long been open and clear.

That kid really slapped all the people in Yuan City last time, and this time he was able to retaliate against him in his own way and rob the transportation convoy of Gem City, which must be something Fei Xiang and the people of Yuan City would like to see and do .

Dong Pingchuan and Yuancheng people have a common enemy, so the alliance went smoothly and the cooperation was very pleasant.

As a reward for providing information, Fei Xiang promised to pay a sum of money after the matter was completed. After this matter was completed, he could spend the rest of his life in the Western Union.

"That little bastard from the Xia family...he can hide it from the officials, but he can't hide it from my eyes."

Fei Xiang nodded slightly while looking down at the map.

Dong Pingchuan was so immersed in his emotions that he didn't notice the arc on Fei Xiang's face.

That is the color of ridicule.

This does not mean that he will regret it after it is done, refuse to pay the money, and be a dishonest person, but before making the deal with Dong Pingchuan, he has already reached an intention to cooperate with another partner.

The outside world thought that he and Tang Yan were sworn enemies, and that Yuancheng and Gemstone City would eventually have a battle.

In fact, only he and Tang Yan knew that it was just a small operation to manipulate people's hearts, and at most it was a bit of a show in nature.

He further united the hearts of the people, exaggerated the hatred, and completely disappeared the voice that was weaker than the candlelight for reconciliation with Gem City.

The two of them worked really well together.

The two of them are good partners.

As for Dong Pingchuan?
In Fei Xiang's opinion, he is just a clown.

Long before Dong Pingchuan contacted him, Xia Xin informed him through Johnson's communication equipment that Gem City would purchase a batch of goods from China.

This matter will be left to the person who is targeted by Dong Pingchuan. I guess that guy will not remain indifferent.

According to Xia Xin's speculation, there is a high probability that the surname Dong will contact him and use Yuancheng's hand to avenge and profit for himself.

The Xia family can sacrifice some of their people to contribute to his cause as city lord. In exchange, he must hand over some precision materials and Dong Pingchuan to Gem City so that Tang Yan can eradicate the consequences of Hui Liancai and Chai Xiaonong's rebellion.

Fei Xiang readily agreed to things like hello, me, everyone.

The Xia family paid a few lives to get Dong Pingchuan, the former deputy commander of the Gemstone City Guards. This is fair.

"poor guy."

Fei Xiang thought deep in his heart.The man thought he was a hunter, but he didn't know that he had already been targeted by a real hunter.

"According to the time, it should be almost here... I hope those guys won't stop for breakfast." Dong Pingchuan walked a few steps to the east and came back, the surface of his military boots was covered with a thin layer of dust.

He took out the handkerchief stuffed in his pocket and wiped it, looking at the newly shiny shoe uppers and nodding with satisfaction.

At the same time, Fei Xiang suddenly raised his head and looked due west.

Dong Pingchuan was taken aback for a moment, and listened attentively. There was a faint explosion sound in the distance.

Hou Hanmin slipped down from the slope, without hesitation to pat off the dirt on his body, looked at Fei Xiang and said, "The city lord..."

As soon as the voice of this sentence fell, puffs of smoke rose from the western sky.

Fei Xiang's face turned a little ugly.

Dong Pingchuan said: "Could it be..."

"Let's go and have a look."

Fei Xiang put away the map, winked at Hou Hanmin, and ordered a few people to walk to the place where the armored vehicle was parked.

………………

After a while, the armored vehicle carrying Fei Xiang and others stopped about 3 kilometers away from the ambush site.

Flames rose from the ground, and the scorching air deformed slightly.

Green smoke billowed up and was cut into large and small pieces by the wind.

Less than ten meters in front of him lay a dead body. Blood gushed out from the bullet hole in his chest and formed a mass on the ground.

There was a pistol on the road not far away, and the gun was pointed at the overturned modified pickup truck. The fire was still burning in the seat inside, and the charred body of the driver's seat could be seen through the window.

There was also a modified pickup truck in front, and only the steel frame remained.

A large number of parts were scattered on the road between the two modified pickup trucks, including broken military circuit boards, incomplete biometric scanners, a large number of screws and nuts, and a large bag of steel ingots.

The transport convoy in Gem City was attacked...but not by them.

This is not what was planned!
"Is it a predator? Or a human?"

When Hou Hanmin led the soldiers to the accident scene to investigate the details, Dong Pingchuan looked at Fei Xiang and said.

There was no response, and the city lord had a black face all the time.

Which force dares to invade his territory?Stealing his benefits?

Although Tang Yan has made many enemies since he became the deputy commander of the Pandaren Legion, it is normal for someone to attack the transport team, but why not attack outside the Yuan City area?Do it right under their noses?Wasn't he deliberately disgusting them?

No... not right!
Dong Pingchuan's complexion changed, this matter was not simple, or it was not someone who took the lead, but someone deliberately framed him to make Yuancheng take the blame.

In the other party's opinion, Fei Xiang should be happy to be the scapegoat.

why do you say so?
The biggest reason is that the residents of the peninsula know that Yuan City and Gem City have a feud. Tang Yan just slapped Fei Xiang in the face not long ago.

According to common sense, he must be eager to fight back.Even if the person who attacked the convoy was not a Yuancheng soldier, he would try every means to publicize that it was his own doing, so as to demonstrate the strength, unyielding and bravery of the Yuancheng people.

But the current situation is that he and the Xia family belong to a cooperative relationship. Once he takes the matter to himself, he will have to pay a considerable amount of resources while handing over Dong Pingchuan.

This... Is there anything more depressing than this in the world?
The fat in his mouth just flew away like this. Maybe he has to pay something as compensation. After all, this happened in his territory. If you want to have a good relationship with the Pandaren Legion, continue to fish in the gem city. Respect It is essential, and you must know that the deputy head is not a fat sheep who will be slaughtered by others.

Hou Hanmin quickly rushed over from the front and shook his head at him, meaning that all the people in the transport team were dead and there were no survivors.

"Judging from the tire marks left at the scene, the enemy should have used a vehicle such as a jeep and headed northwest after the attack."

"Northwest..." Fei Xiang frowned, because he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could this be done by the Donglai settlement?
You must know that since he exposed the fact that the Pandaren Legion possessed regenerative medicine, the two major organizations that occupy a huge share of the pharmaceutical sales market - the MRT Consortium and the OECD have shown hostility towards Tang Yan.

Because the strength of the former is more manifested in its influence on the region, its tentacles are blocked by the city of Jiankang and cannot form a strong military deterrent to the peninsula region.The latter is different, and now the OECD has almost formed actual control over the settlements in Dongnae.

To put it bluntly, the next step is to target Gemstone City.So no matter from a commercial point of view or from a military standpoint, the Pandaren Legion is a thorn in their side.

Things like robbing the Gemstone City transportation team are a good start, and they can be blamed on Yuancheng, further intensifying the conflict between the two parties and making Tang Yan fight with him. The Donglai settlement can sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. Take action at critical moments to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just when Fei Xiang was guessing about the situation, Dong Pingchuan came from behind: "What should we do now?"

There was a thick layer of dust on his military boots.However, unlike the performance just now, it was not wiped off with a handkerchief in time, and it looked a bit sloppy.

Fei Xiang didn't speak, and suddenly raised his gun at Dong Pingchuan in response to the questioning from above.

This change changed the expression of the former Deputy Commander of the Gemstone City Guards. Confirming that the murderous intent in Fei Xiang's eyes was very real, Dong Pingchuan raised his hand in a bachelor's way.

The half-handkerchief that had just been pulled out of his pocket fluttered to the ground, covering a ball of blood that hadn't dried yet, and the silver lace was soon stained red.

Soil is dirty, and blood is even dirtier, especially other people's blood.

However, it was a pity that Dong Pingchuan did not have the energy to worry at this time. He looked at Fei Xiang and stammered: "You... what are you... what are you doing?"
