Doomsday rat

"I... I... saw it twice. It seemed that it was his birthday and once he booked the horse farm in Shunyi. Many people came..."

If Hong Tao looked more gloomy, then Jiao San had the word "bastard" engraved on his forehead, coupled with the virtue of being fully armed, Yun Zhonghe was so frightened that he quickly stood up and stood at attention, pouring his energy like a bean into a bamboo tube. I said everything I remembered.

"That's what happened, I went too... Who did you play with before? Come, come, sit down and say... You order first..." The password was matched, and the murderous look on Jiao San's face was not there. Then, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Yun Zhonghe, and continued to walk around.

"Boy, do you have any letters at home?" Seeing that the conversation between Jiao San and Yun Zhonghe went smoothly, Hong Tao climbed up the ladder to the roof without being in the way.

From the small courtyard, it is said that it is impossible to contact the Ditan base, the distance is too far.However, Pan Wenxiang likes to tinker with these things when he is free, and accidentally discovered that the small communication system backpack also has a function, which is forwarding.

It can transmit A's signal one by one like a repeater. As long as each device does not exceed the effective range of one kilometer, it can be superimposed to nine at most before attenuation.

The straight-line distance from Ditan Park to the Taiping Lake factory is less than 4 kilometers. In theory, it is enough to place three backpacks in the middle.In order to take care of the ground communication, Randy placed seven, so that the two important places can be communicated, and they can communicate directly whether they are on the ground or underground.

It is only 800 meters from the Houhai Courtyard to the Second Ring Road, and there happens to be a backpack in the subway entrance on Gulou Street, so this place is also covered by the communication network.In addition to changing the battery regularly, it is safe and convenient, and there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped. The password level of military equipment is really difficult for ordinary people to crack.

Now Hong Tao is anxiously waiting for a reply from the Pingnan Army. After Zhou Yuan arrived safely, he only sent a short message, and then there was no news.It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, are you willing to give a reply or not?Gao Tianyi looked very happy, but he was really procrastinating in doing things, he was more of a pussy than a pussy.

"Not yet... Uncle Jiao knows him?" Zhang Ke shook his head and pointed down.

"Hey, your Uncle Jiao was not a fun thing back then. He didn't know anyone who was serious... except me. Listen carefully, and call me immediately if you have any news!"

Such a young child knows the priorities, no matter how curious he is, he still lies on the roof and pays attention to the surrounding situation.If it was difficult to train a child to be like this before the catastrophe, it was the special environment, coupled with good talent, that made him far superior to his peers.

"Brother Hong, come here..." Just as he climbed down the ladder, Jiao San greeted him outside the second door, and Yun Zhonghe was still sitting obediently in the corridor.

"The talk is over? Did you gain anything?" Hong Tao called Jiao San to see if he could establish a friendship with Yun Zhonghe. Well, acquaintances are definitely easy to handle, at least there is no need to try a little more.

"There is someone I met and chatted with. He should still remember me. Speaking of familiarity, he and Han Li are even more familiar. They both came down from the sports team and often played together." Jiao San nodded, but he didn't say too much. So happy, it seems that I am not very familiar with the other party, so I am not sure if it will work.

"Beating children on rainy days is also idle. In this way, you and I will make another trip to get in touch with them and get in touch with them." Hong Tao was quite satisfied. It didn't matter at first, but now he showed a half-familiar face , The harvest is great.

"At this time, I'm afraid it was a bit desperate. I'm better than you in riding a motorcycle. Compared with them, I don't look good enough!" Jiao San shook his head again and again, and kept curling his lips, as if his driving skills The ineffectiveness is all because of Hong Tao's drag.

"Erhuo was just playing a chase with a group of motorcycles on the road. We... sneaked in quietly from below, as long as we were within one kilometer, we didn't show up at all!" Hong Tao was about to say. Thinking about my own plan, I suddenly remembered that there was a Yunzhonghe not far away, so I quickly turned around and lowered my voice a lot.

"...Brother, I really don't want to drill holes with you anymore, why don't you listen to me once?" Jiao San still shook his head, it seemed that he was not satisfied with this method.

"You? You can use your brain!" Hong Tao made a very surprised expression. This is really not to belittle Jiao San's IQ on purpose, but to not have a good face for this person, otherwise he will take off at any time and stop him. Can't live.

"You know how, why did you call me?" Jiao San was not annoyed, and retorted slowly with reality.He also understands that he can't be polite with this person, otherwise he will never take advantage of it.

"...Well, let's talk about it!" Now Hong Tao really had nothing to say, but fortunately, he has a strong ability to resist blows and can hold back a punch.

"Don't treat me as a burden if you are old. Besides, your nonsense has no market in the circle, and it is even more annoying. I will take him back together and meet that Dou Yunwei by the way. Anyway, before I also played together, and it’s not easy to meet an acquaintance at this time. Anyway, I didn’t get hurt or died, and you made this kid dizzy again, even if they hold grudges, they won’t embarrass me too much.”

Seeing that Hong Tao's aura was suppressed temporarily, Jiao San triumphantly took out his cigarette, and waited for Hong Tao to light it for him, and then narrated the clever plan he came up with.

"Damn it, why didn't I see that you still have this feeling of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice? If you had such great ambitions, you would have betrayed me to your Sister Shuang a few times back then! This kind of lonely hero's drama is still rare. Go ahead, even if you go, it won't be your turn. Don't you know how to look in the mirror yourself and see what makes you look like a hero?"

The cigarette in his mouth hadn't been lit yet, when the fire went out, and when he raised his face again, it was a face that was not a thing no matter how you looked at it.The disdain, sarcasm, and ridicule on that face were almost translated directly with a brush, and then outlined with gold wire.

Chapter 194

"...Don't get angry, I won't take this kind of trick anymore! Lin Na said, the more mean you speak, the more empty-hearted you are, and the less we can get angry, then you will fall into your old boy's trap How about it, I can't beat you alone, but we have a smart daughter-in-law, we fight in groups, hehehehe..."

These words hurt Jiao San, his eyes almost popped, and he was panting like a cow.But there was no quarrel as expected, nor did he walk away. This guy actually held back, and started a new wave of provocations instead.

"Tsk... Mistake, misstep... Isn't this embarrassing! Why don't you ask Lin Na if she is willing to let her fiancé go to die. By the way, I have to remind you that there is no husband now. Monogamy is established, if you die or surrender, then Lin Na will have to fall into my hands again, hehehe..."

At this time, Hong Tao had to look at Jiao San with admiration, saying that a smart woman can change a man, and he had never met such a smart woman, but Jiao San obviously did.

Just been together for more than three months, and the IQ has been rising at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.Seeing what this means, it is no longer possible to achieve the goal by running on it alone, and it is necessary to amplify the trick!

"Cut, just wait!" Jiao San has really become smarter, filtering out all nonsense and only focusing on the essence of the matter.Throw the cigarette butt on the ground, and take three steps and two steps to get on the ladder.

"Old man, Lin Na told you to listen!" A few minutes later, Jiao San stood on the roof and yelled at Hong Tao who was turning back and forth below.It would be an overstatement to say that he was really not angry, he was almost mad.However, Lin Na's bedside wind was really strong, and it was really not easy for him to hold back.

In the end, Hong Tao lost. Lin Na didn't quite believe Jiao San's narration, so she deliberately asked Hong Tao again, and after learning all the details, she immediately agreed to Jiao San's suggestion.

She said that her husband can't stay behind her elder brother forever as a thug, but will be alone in the rescue team in the future, and even when Hong Tao dies, Jiao San will have to prepare to take over.If you don't even dare to take such a small risk, you will be alive and dead.

She also said that even if Jiao San died, she would not let the Jiao family die.She is already pregnant, and after the child is born, regardless of whether she remarries or not, the child's surname will never be changed.

"Brother, brother, I'm sorry, I found you a cruel girl... so you can do it yourself!" After the call was interrupted, Hong Tao turned to Jiao San with a very guilty expression, and said the truth.

Where is this mother-in-law a daughter-in-law? This is Wu Zetian and Cixi when they were young.Not only did she have to struggle by herself, but she also had to pull her husband and children to fight together.But you can't say anything about others, it seems to be full of deep love, but if you talk too much, you will be hated.

"Stop farting, you are envious and jealous! And don't worry, our family Lin Na said that even if I die, she will not marry you with a child. It's not because you are afraid that you won't be able to tolerate the child, but because you are afraid that you will take the child. Brainwashed, let him forget that he still has a real father! Brother Yun, Captain Hong agreed to let me go back with you. But you have to make a promise with him, don’t let me beat the dog with meat buns Not coming back!"

Whatever Hong Tao said now, Jiao San would regard it as envy and jealousy, and by the way, he had to step on it to relieve his hatred.But it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid at all. He himself didn't know whether he wanted to go or not, but he couldn't take it back after he had said it.

"Brother Jiao, from what you said, there is no enmity between us... Oh, yes, there is no enmity between us, it's all a misunderstanding...I promise to send you back in one piece, or God will kill you." Five thunders!" Now don't ask Yun Zhonghe to swear, even if you ask him to scold the eight generations of his ancestors, he will not hesitate.

"Boom..." But the sky didn't obey people's wishes, and as soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the air.

"...Remember, kid, if I can catch you once, I can catch you a second time. If I can't catch you, it's easier to kill. You should understand what I said just now. I'm not afraid of anyone, but I don't want others to suffer along with me. Implications. But if someone pushes me into a hurry, I will deny my relatives. Let’s go, and tell Captain Yan exactly what I mean. Life and death are sometimes just a matter of thought, so be careful!”

Did God give a warning?Hong Tao felt that anyone who believed in anything was an idiot.If it had such a kind heart, it wouldn't just watch the disaster come, at least it would have to notify itself in advance that the aliens had placed it on Earth.

But it doesn't prevent him from using this coincidence to remind Yun Zhonghe at the end that Jiao San's success in this matter is only secondary, and the main thing depends on whether he can argue with Yan Qiang.

"And you, come here, I have to tell you a few words, don't go frizzy and show your temper!" It was not enough to scare Yunzhonghe Hongtao, and he dragged Jiao San to the seaside, biting his ear Talked for several minutes.The content has nothing to do with temper, but to help him devise a way to get out. It's okay to surrender if he can't, just don't be stubborn.

"Grandpa Hong, the vixen has replied. The original text is to agree to the conditions of the meeting, but the Punishment Army must participate in the clearing!" Just when the taillight of the motorcycle disappeared from view, Zhang Ke on the roof shouted.

"As long as your life is precious, shit..." The content of the telegram didn't annoy Hong Tao. Even if the conditions for clearing the field were not mentioned, the Flying Tigers had to raise it as long as they agreed to negotiate.

What annoyed him was the efficiency, which was so low that it took more than four hours to make a decision in such an urgent situation.If the Flying Tigers really grasped the location of any base, it might be too late to discuss how to support each other now.

What is indecision?This is!When there is no difficulty, this kind of person is often more straightforward than anyone else.For example, in the last gunman attack, before the results of the investigation were found, an ultimatum was issued immediately, as if he was determined to protect his own interests.In fact, I feel that the rescue team is weak and easy to bully.

But as soon as we encounter difficulties and encounter hard stubble, we immediately start to look forward and backward and find ourselves in a dilemma.I don't want to lose too much, and I'm afraid of fighting alone. I can't believe the basic attitude of the friendly army, and I'm always suspicious.

Cooperating with such a person, you have to be patient in many cases on weekdays, and you can't rely on it at critical moments. You are both reactionary and afraid of death. This is the summary of Gao Tianyi.It's just a pity for those dozens of people, and it's a pity for such a good place. This is called a hero made by the times, and no one can do it.

But it is not without gain through this matter. In his heart, Hong Tao has already regarded the Pingnan Army as a weak point, and the focus of future work will be tilted towards the Flying Tigers. If the negotiation can be successful.

However, this inclination is not superficial. On the surface, the rescue team has to get closer to the Pingbei Army, so as to fight against the most powerful Flying Tigers, and cannot be defeated one by one.

Life is really fucking difficult. Under normal circumstances, one has to study hard since childhood and strive to leave behind 90.00% of the same kind; after working, one has to face a lot of troubles such as promotion, salary increase, house purchase, and loan repayment. Son, all ideals and dreams are thrown out of the sky.

As we grow old, we must hold on to the coffin books in our hands, to prevent being taken away by our children, and at the same time, beware of being deceived by scammers.If you're lucky, if you don't have money, you'll be gone, and you'll be busy all your life, busier than the donkeys in the production team.

Finally, the situation was abnormal, and all kinds of restrictions were gone. Just about to take off, I looked down and saw that they were all pulling their trouser legs.Don't talk about flying, if you want to run faster, you have to continue to intrigue, and it is more cruel and bloody than normal, and the fault tolerance rate is still low. As long as you fail once, you are basically not far from death.

If it is not easy to be a leader, is it easy to be a salted fish?It's actually harder.Salted fish has no resistance at all, and the future direction is entirely at the mercy of others.

For example, the members of the Rescue Team, the Relief Army, and the Flying Tigers may not be very clear about why the three companies have to cooperate and why they have to fight, but it does not prevent their lives from being affected at all, and even lost their lives. .

Then leave the hustle and bustle of the world, find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and live your own little life by yourself?The answer is that very few people can, most people can't.

In addition to the wrong talent and insufficient skill points, few people can endure long-term loneliness.Even if he survived, he would still be a lunatic, already out of the category of normal people.

Chapter 195 Director Liu's level!

But no matter how dissatisfied, the things that should be done should not be delayed at all.Not long after Jiao San left, Hong Tao also took Zhang Ke out of the small courtyard, rode a bicycle to the subway station on Gulou Street, and then returned to the base by patrol car.

"Randy, who came up with the idea to hang this thing up!" When changing from Line [-] to Line [-], Hong Tao ran into Randy. Elf.When going up the stairs, it is also specially reminded to raise your feet high, because there is a thin black fishing line horizontally.

Hong Tao knew that as long as he pulled the fishing line, at least one M67 grenade would explode nearby without looking at what was connected to the two ends of the line.Even if luck is against the sky and all the fragments are hidden, the ears can't stand the loud noise, and it's almost the same without being stunned.

"My idea, didn't you say you want the highest level of defense? There are a total of four deployed here, triggered by the fishing line at the top of the stairs, and they will explode to the bottom of the stairs one by one. The stairs and people around ten meters away cannot be spared. Even lying on the ground..." Randy smiled proudly, pointing to the platform while talking.

"You Americans are all lunatics..." Hong Tao looked up and found nothing, but he believed that if Randy said there was, then there must be.It could be in the lampshade, or it could be in the ceiling.

What's the difference? A distance of a few meters is equal to zero distance for fragments. Fragments from top to bottom will blast people who are lucky enough to hide behind the bunker or lie on the ground into a sieve.

"You are the lunatic, and you took a boy in his teens to capture prisoners at the other side's base... You actually succeeded! I really don't understand, are they all blind and deaf?" More than half of the praise was given to Hong Tao.

"Your information is inaccurate. Not only do you have a child, but you also have a woman, a very beautiful and sexy woman...she is the key to success!" Hong Tao did not dare to enjoy this honor to himself, and confessed Zhou Yuan realistically.

"God, you actually went on a mission with her alone... very abnormal, very very abnormal!" At this time, Randy is a bit like Jiao San a few months ago, he can't mention a certain woman, otherwise his IQ will clear up immediately zero.

From Line [-] to Line [-], until the passage connecting the circular fortification, Randy arranged three tripping mines.It seems that American ground crews don't just learn maintenance and refueling, they also have requirements in terms of military skills.

"Xiao Shui, are you two afraid of the darkness here?" In addition to the three tripping thunders, there was an artificial line of defense at the end, and two heavily armed men huddled under the platform.

One is responsible for monitoring the stairs leading to the upper floor, and the other is responsible for the passages on both sides. No matter there are enemies there, they can be found and shot at the first time.But when Hong Tao saw the faces of these two clearly, he immediately had doubts about this line of defense.

"Don't be afraid! Even the first team leader took people to the commanding heights in the east, what are we afraid of! Anyone who dares to come to the house to make trouble, we will kill him!" Shui Nanqin answered very simply, and raised her small fist and waved it. A look of determination.

"Well, actually killing someone is not that scary. Once you grit your teeth, close your eyes, and move your fingers, a person's life will be gone. It's better to kill someone than to be enslaved by others, right?"

The comrades were quite imposing and their morale was high, but Hong Tao was still worried.Many people open their mouths and shut their mouths to mean war. It is easier to say than to go to the toilet, but when the war comes, they are the first to tremble, close their eyes, pee their pants, and run away.

Between watching a movie and actually killing someone with your own hands, there is only a layer of window paper, but this layer of window paper is made of thick canvas, which is very strong, and it is not easy to pierce without forcing people to a certain level, and you have to force it!

"...Even if I die, I won't be a slave again!" As soon as these words came out, the two women were silent, and then Shui Nanqin squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.At the same time, they really exuded a murderous aura, which was more stern than the courage just now. Even Randy felt it, and felt very uncomfortable.

"This is a good girl! If there are still people who are slaves this time, then I won't save them. It's not worth it. Tell others what I said. If anyone escapes and surrenders, he will not be killed by the enemy. I will also be beaten to death, slaves are not welcome here!"

Boosting morale is not Hong Tao's forte, but he is better at motivating people, and he is better at making people angry.In fact, there is not much difference between courage and anger. You may dare to do things that you usually dare not do when you are in a rage.

At this time, few people were active in the circular fortification, and Liu Quanyou was helping Shu Yulan put on the body armor.It seems that this old lady is also preparing to go to the front line, and she probably wants to understand that once this place is captured by others, she will still have to be a prisoner.The short experience of more than ten days at the beginning had already made her hate the word "captive", and she would rather be beaten to death than suffer again.

"Hey, old Hong, you are back, I... you two go to the platform of the east gate first! Old Hong... what happened? Is there really going to be a war!"

Seeing Hong Tao coming out of the passage, Liu Quan instinctively rushed forward and cried.How could he know how to fight? After going into battle, he was not much better than Mrs. Shu. He kept pretending to be calm and panicked more than anyone else.

But he immediately put on a straight face again, and dismissed Mrs. Shu and the other woman as if nothing had happened. He didn't really get discouraged until he could no longer see her back. He grabbed Hong Tao's hand, his eyes full of anticipation and fear. You will hear the news of the enemy's approach.

"Zhang Ke, you continue to stare at the radio station, and you are not allowed to leave for a minute! My chief director, you were quite calm just now, just keep pretending and don't lose the chain. War is familiar once and twice. Since you have to experience it sooner or later, it is better to hurry up."

Hong Tao first sent Zhang Ke to the office area. Liu Quanyou really panicked and sent out all the people on duty at the radio station.But you can't criticize, you have to praise.Just based on the performance of the first encounter with such a situation, he can score 90 points.

Regardless of whether the various military arrangements are reasonable or not, just saying that he pretended to be calmer than General Patton, and that he didn't spread the panic to others, is worth this score.If you can cheer up individually according to the situation of different people, you can be a regiment political commissar of the field army.

"I, I almost peed my pants, you still have the heart to laugh!" Seeing Hong Tao's smiling face, Liu Quanyou felt that the situation might not be as serious as he imagined, and he was relieved but also a little annoyed.The boss is a man who has been discovered the most cowardly side, so he can't hold back his face.

"It's just peeing, no one is born to kill, it's not embarrassing! But old Liu, what method did you use to make those women feel like they were beaten?" Hong Tao laughed even more brilliantly. He was still worried at first. When I came back, I saw a group of bereaved dogs without a leader, and now it has greatly exceeded my expectations. It is gratifying to congratulate.

But there is one thing that makes me very puzzled. These people are obviously not fighters. They usually hide away from killing birds. Why are they suddenly so excited?There must be a trick in it, and it is probably the handwriting of Director Liu.

If I can also learn his tricks, then traveling to other eras in the future will be more useful than carrying a machine gun!You only need to fool around like a cat and a tiger, and you will have a team by your side immediately!

"...I lied to them that Sun Dacheng brought someone back to take revenge..." Liu Quanyou blinked, his eyes were a little wandering, he babbled for a long time, and finally suppressed the truth.

"Fuck..." This is Randy's emotion. He has been arranging defenses in the tunnel, and he didn't hear the mobilization of the deputy captain.When I heard it for the first time at this time, I couldn't help bringing out the national curse.

"... High! It's too high! Your trick is more effective than anything else, why didn't I think of it... It seems that amateur fools are not as solid as professional basic skills!"

Hong Tao opened his mouth, stroked his chin again, and scratched his hair again. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out how to praise the wit of the senior director. In the end, he could only put up two thumbs up and bow down.

"Oh, don't use this useless thing, tell me what's going on!" We've been chatting for a few minutes since we met, but we haven't gotten any serious news, so Liu Quanyou can't let go , this time it is really urgent.

Chapter 196 Still Not Reassuring

"Jiao San sent back the hostage I captured. He knows the people there...but it's hard to say whether he can turn the hostage into a jade silk. Old Liu, you have to persevere. We can't just wait, let alone let Jiao San One alone."

"Besides, passive defense alone is not the solution. We must have fire support on the periphery. Send Randy to me, and we will serve as fire support. If they really come over, we will attract their attention from the periphery, or Come to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and take their base directly."

"If they hadn't come, the two of us could have taken care of Jiao San. They were not the same as us. They were said to be a group, but in fact they had split internally. I'm afraid the ability of Jiao San's acquaintance alone would not be able to completely Convince the public."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Liu Quanyou knows about these situations, but it's even more troublesome if he knows.But this was his right to be the vice-captain, and Hong Tao couldn't take it away, so he talked about the important ones, and then made a suggestion.

In fact, according to the geographical location of Ditan Park and the circular fortifications, it is not too difficult to fight more than twice as many enemies.But the problem is still people. There are too few people in the rescue team who can fight, and they can care about internal defense but not external maneuvers.But if you want to not be particularly passive, you can't let everyone be surrounded together, and someone must be active on the periphery.

In addition, Hong Tao is also very worried about Jiao San. Through Yun Zhonghe's explanation, although he is not too sure, Hong Tao can faintly feel the current situation of the Flying Tigers.Be it Yan Qiang or Dou Yunwei, I'm afraid they won't be able to completely control that Ma Wenbo.

If Jiao San and Dou Yunwei had a good talk, but Ma Wenbo stalked him on the way back, he would be in a dilemma again, at least he couldn't explain to Lin Na.

Rather than sit and wait, take the initiative.Hong Tao has never liked to follow other people's rhythms, no matter whether these worries are superfluous or not, he must control his destiny as much as possible in his own hands!

"Why me!" Before Liu Quanyou agreed or disagreed, Randy was not happy.It's not that he thinks it's dangerous to go out to fight guerrillas, but he's fed up with this scheming captain.

"Because your ancestral marksmanship is good, and you can use a sniper rifle..." Hong Tao immediately gave two reasons, very strong reasons.

If anyone in the rescue team is good at marksmanship, it's really not Randy's turn to be the champion.But if anyone in the rescue team can use a sniper rifle, then he is not only the first, but also the only one.Hong Tao can only be counted as having fought, but not knowing how to use it. These two concepts are very different.

"Comrade Xiaolan, the organization believes in your ability, and also in your character. For everyone, and for yourself, go! With Captain Hong around, what are you afraid of? Don't worry here, I will risk my life. Let someone come and harm our home!"

As soon as he heard that Hong Tao was going to take Randy to fight guerrillas to contain the enemy's attack, Liu Quanyou immediately became more at ease.An old, cunning, ruthless murderer, and a retired soldier with good marksmanship, this combination must be particularly powerful, with one as ten existence.

With this pair of combinations tossing outside, Liu Quanyou felt that the enemy might not have the heart to attack the base again.But the premise is that Randy must be allowed to follow. He is the best at this job. Isn’t it just to use righteousness to persuade people to stand up to the thunder? He used to do it often.

"I'm a little homesick..." Randy looked at Liu Quan with anticipation, and suddenly felt that he really didn't belong here, so he turned and walked away, muttering to himself.

"Hey, why are you going, I haven't said yet..." This attitude made Liu Quan very embarrassed, and the leader tried hard to enlighten him. If you don't say that you are grateful, what does it mean to leave without saying goodbye?

"Director Liu...don't worry, he should be going to get the equipment. Foreigners, they don't have a big picture and are too willful. I'll criticize him later. You can go about your business and continue with Sun Dacheng's story. Don't worry. Don't stop!"

Hong Tao, who is also the leader, doesn't feel embarrassed, but he has to persuade Liu Quan not to care about a foreigner who is ashamed and drunk. This may be the difference between a professional and an amateur.
