Chapter 368

Chapter 368

In the past two days, the Nanqing Intelligence Department, more than a dozen headquarters intelligence officers brought by Lan Qingya, as well as some municipal department staff, acted quickly. Through ordinary and unusual means such as flyers, small advertisements, and rumors, hundreds of meters of survivors have been recruited one after another.

There is no push, but it is distributed in various strongholds in the slum area, and each stronghold has about dozens of survivors.

More people were eliminated during the screening process.

In the slum area, in the backyard of a bar, there have been significantly more survivors entering and leaving in the past two days.

"It's delicious!"

After Tang Wenliang took the last bite of compressed dry food, he couldn't help licking the dregs left on the corner of his mouth, and let out a sigh.

Beside him, a survivor who was also sitting against the wall nodded in agreement:

"I thought it would be good to have a full meal, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. I seem to have tasted beef, and I can't remember how long I haven't tasted beef."

Compressed dry food is slightly larger than a pack of ordinary biscuits and looks unremarkable.

At first,

Tang Wenliang, who had passed the screening, was somewhat disappointed when he received such a package of compressed dry food from an expressionless man.

The dry food, which was not the size of a palm, was very thin, and was wrapped in white transparent film paper, he weighed, but it was not even a pound.

But Tang Wenliang did not complain.

The other survivors who passed the initial screening didn't and didn't dare to complain - they were just the bottom survivors.

A pack of dry food, even though it doesn't seem like a lot, is also a pleasant surprise.

When Tang Wenliang tore open the outer packaging and took a bite towards the corner of the square dry food, when he chewed it in his mouth.

The rich fragrance erupted from his mouth in an instant, and the small horn of dry food was crawling on the tip of his tongue, and he tasted it repeatedly for a long time, until the rich fragrance disappeared, and he was willing to turn it into dry food with thick water, which was drawn down his throat into his abdomen.

Delicious is only a small part of it.

After digesting for a moment, Tang Wenliang was surprised to find that a stream of heat gushed out from the stomach, soaked the five internal organs, and flowed through the limbs.

After being hungry for a long time, the already very weak body was slowly recovering under the action of this heat flow.

He only ate a third of the piece of dry food, and he felt the long-lost feeling of fullness.

When he was full, Tang Wenliang looked at the survivors like him in the big room.

There were 20 or 30 people, and everyone was given compressed biscuits and a thick coat, which he wrapped tightly at this moment, finally feeling the warmth in this cold weather.

To eat and to clothe, it cannot be a man-eating devil.

The heart that has been hanging has also let go.

Just wondering, what is this group of people recruiting them for? I also worry that the good life may be gone at any time.

...

Hai Honghui pushed open the door, and the two officers of the Intelligence Department who were guarding the room nodded at him in respect.

He clapped his hands, and his loud voice attracted the attention of the survivors who were sitting or lying down.

"Many people wonder what we do and what you are going to do in the future. It is under confidentiality regulations. I can't say it yet."

Seeing that some people are numb and some people are disappointed, Hai Honghui didn't care, paused, and continued, "But you don't need to worry, you who have passed the initial screening are the worst, and you can also have a job to support yourself. As long as you work hard enough, some of you can change your destiny from now on, I won't say much about these, you can all see them in the near future."

"Soon, you will leave Nanqing with us. If you have family members, remember to report in advance."

No one answered, no one moved, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

But Tang Wenliang was hot in his heart.

...

"These survivors are too lifeless."

Hai Honghui, who pushed in the door, shook his head.

In the room, there are several intelligence personnel. This is the center and can receive news from most of the strongholds in Nanqing.

Lan Qingya has also seen those survivors, "Some people may not believe our words, some are just for food, they are probably used to the life of eating and waiting for death, and when they arrive at the green shade, I hope that the people from the municipal department can take those people out. concept, turn it around."

She just sighed slightly, and quickly entered the working state, "There are currently 351 talents in runes, but the number of new people who have passed the screening is getting fewer and fewer... Moreover, although our methods are concealed , but after all, there are hundreds of survivors flowing, maybe it will attract the attention of the local forces in Nanqing..."

After a pause, she said, "I decided to take the first batch of highly talented talents to Green Shade first."

The bar, the No. 1 stronghold, the survivors who stayed here are also the talents with the highest quality in the initial screening.

These twenty or thirty people are even more important than the other three hundred or so.

Hai Honghui frowned, "These survivors are not very fast, and the green shade is far away from here, I don't know how much danger there is along the way, even if all the people you brought are dispatched, it will be difficult to bring them to the shelter intact ... and , when you leave, my manpower will be tense."

"Unless you take a car, but... you know, since the weather has changed, vehicles have become more and more difficult to handle, and even if there are vehicles to transport survivors, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and now the failure rate of vehicles is high, It's better to wait for the railway line between the two places to connect, and then send people there, then it will be easy."

Lan Qingya shook her head:

"I know that the railway between Luyin and Nanqing will not be connected so early. Ordinary talents will be sent over after the railway is opened in the future, but the sooner this group of highly talented talents is sent to the shelter, the earlier they can be cultivated. A few rune masters."

At the green shade, there are still a few screenings, and these people may not be the top talents in runes.

However, among the twenty or thirty people, a few stand out and become rune masters, the probability is still quite high.

"So I'm going to contact the garrison and ask them to send out rhino chariots to pick up these people."

"Rhino chariot? Is that the kind of armored vehicle that weighs dozens of tons and looks like a steel beast?"

Hai Honghui's level is sufficient, he knows many hidden things in the green shade, and he knows that his shelter has two of the best chariots.

Floating chariot, and rhino chariot.

Relatively speaking, the Rhino chariot is one grade lower than the floating chariot, but it is larger, like a combination of a tank and a personnel carrier, taking into account the combat power and the number of people it carries.

According to reports, there are no more than ten rhino chariots in the garrison.

"If you can persuade them to send a rhino chariot, then it's safe."

...

the next day.

Lan Qingya summoned several personnel from the Intelligence Department, plus two personnel from the Municipal Department responsible for organizing and maintaining order, and walked out of the bar with twenty or thirty survivors.

The survivors who regained their strength were no longer so staggering. It took more than ten minutes for the group to walk to the main road that could accommodate two cars in parallel.

It is also the only lane in the slum.

A rusty bus stopped by the road, and Hai Honghui jumped from the bus.

"Don't think this car is broken. It's not easy to find a big car without attracting attention these days. At least it's no problem to send you to the north gate."

As he spoke, he patted the car's shell, and the fine iron filings rustled, and the bus shook, as if it might fall apart at any time.

Hai Honghui: "..."

...

Tang Wenliang and other survivors boarded the bus one by one, and sat down one by one honestly.

Hai Honghui acted as the driver, Lan Qingya sat in the first row, and with a few weak 'tutu' sounds, the bus finally started, trembling and driving on the not spacious road.

Be careful to avoid pedestrians. Occasionally, there are vehicles passing by on the road. Most of them are vehicles with welded collision angles and reinforced armor. The bus also has iron bars welded in circles, which is not conspicuous.

It just seems that the horsepower is insufficient, and the driving state is fast and slow, which makes people a little worried about how long this rusty bus can last.

Lan Qingya originally wanted the survivors to walk to the North Gate, but the Nanqing Shelter was not small, and there was a distance of two or three kilometers from the slum area to the North Gate.

These survivors have slow feet, and even if twenty or thirty people walk away, it is easy to attract the attention of others.

thoughts are flying,

In a blink of an eye, the bus had arrived at the gate of the city. Hai Honghui took out a certificate of the Chamber of Commerce. After a while, without any obstruction, the bus drove out of the Nanqing Shelter.

There are also many crops planted outside the city walls of Nanqing, but they are harassed by demonic beasts from time to time, most of them are ruined, and a few also look sick and stunted.

There is not much food in the harvest in one season, and Nanqing still has to often buy food from the green shade.

At this time, it was not the peak of leaving the city in the morning. There were still many Awakened people carrying weapons. They went out of the shelter with high spirits and fought demonized beasts. After earning source crystals, they could enjoy a lot of fun for several days.

Compared with the Awakened, the survivors living in the slums seem to live in another world.

These people on the bus have not walked out of the towering city wall for some time. The scavenger occupation that many survivors once engaged in has gradually disappeared in history as the surrounding area has been repeatedly explored.

The wilderness outside, the ancient trees in the sky, the tall grass, and the howling wind blows, makes people feel unfamiliar.

The bus was driving slowly, and the bumpy road made the body shake and vibrate.

After driving off the main road and driving for a few more minutes, I gradually lost sight of the other awakened ones.

"Just come here, the guards will receive the coordinates as long as they are nearby."

Lan Qingya took out the beacon to activate, and a circle of waves invisible to the naked eye spread out from the light red square in her hand.

Hai Honghui nodded.

Some couldn't stand the air in the car, so he jumped out of the car, the soul of coffee was about to move, but he couldn't find any ingredients that could be brewed.

"Next time you go out, you must always take it with you."

He muttered, leaning against the door, his lazy body suddenly straightened, and his eyes fixed on the distant woods.

The mixed aura of the Awakened appeared in his perception.

A group of Awakeneds wearing uniforms, weapons hanging from their waists, and guns in hand, walked out of the woods and surrounded the bus in an instant.

At the head, a young man with three red lines drawn on the arm of the battle suit stepped forward and shouted, "We are from the Nanqing Guard, and now I suspect that you are a cult member, get out of the car for me to be checked!"

On the bus, the survivors rioted.

They know this uniform, it represents the Nanqing Sanctuary, and it also represents the supreme power. Even other Awakened adults, in front of these uniformed people, are only obedient.

People in the slums don't understand the world of the Awakened. They only feel scared. It's the fear of the people at the bottom of the power class in charge of life and death. After the youths in the guards drink, some people have instinctively stood up and are ready to get out of the car to accept it. examine.

Tang Wenliang looked at the few people in the car who should also be awakened, and then looked at the members of the guard who surrounded them and had their weapons turned on, so he could only calm down.

Two municipal officials stayed in the car, Lan Qingya and five other intelligence officers got out of the car and looked at the Nanqing guards.

There were only seven Awakeneds on one side, all dressed in poor clothes and in different costumes.

On one side, there are dozens of people fully equipped.

The captain of the guard team finally had a smile on his lips, "Everyone got out of the car for inspection. Don't worry, we won't let any cultists go, but we won't wrong any good people either."

He really didn't plan to frame these people as cult members, but just used the pretext to detain the survivors on the bus.

Although they are all waste survivors with no skills, since they can be seen by green people, it is necessary to cut off their beards.

The captain believed that among these people, there must be something hidden that they had not discovered.

The atmosphere is dignified,

Lan Qingya snorted coldly, awakening the terrifying breath of the eighth layer, which burst out in an instant, like a gust of wind, and patted the faces of the guards.

Her hair tucked in the back of her head fluttered, her eyes swept over, and the guards stepped back again and again.

The captain cursed secretly in his heart, but he was also deterred by that aura—he himself had only awakened to the seventh level!

The momentum is not weak at all, "What do you want to do! Believe it or not, I can transfer three hundred strong men from the city wall with a single order!"

"In this way, leave the survivors in the car, and you can leave." He admitted to the opposite steps.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The survivors on the bus shivered.

Hai Honghui also released the breath of awakening the seventh layer, and other members of the intelligence department had already put their hands on their weapons.

...

Lan Qingya knew in her heart that the secret recruitment of talents was eventually discovered by Nan Qing.

But also expected.

She has already been authorized by the director.

It is impossible to give in to the talents who are in hand. The reason for secretly recruiting is that they do not want to conflict with Nan Qing, but it does not mean that they are afraid.

"Okay, you can take people away, but..."

"From now on, Green Shadow will no longer sell any food and rune equipment to Nanqing."

The captain has not yet shown a happy expression, but his entire face seems to be constipated.

Without green equipment and food, the answer to whether Nanqing can survive is yes. However, it is like a person who has experienced a life of luxury and returned to poverty again, which no one can bear.

Nanqing is not monolithic. Once the supply of equipment is cut off because of today's incident, then...

He was still stubborn, "Even if you don't buy it directly from you, there is the Chamber of Commerce, which brings a lot of equipment every once in a while."

"Do you think we Luyin have the ability to cut off the supply of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Lan Qingya still chuckled lightly and stopped talking.

The captain looked confused.

To let go or not to let go is a difficult choice.

If you don't let it go, he is probably the scapegoat if something goes wrong; let it go, he will lead people to surround the bus aggressively, if you leave in such a dismal state...

It felt like a fart and nothing.

His face was full of entanglement, and he was almost sick.

suddenly,

There was a roaring roar in the distance.

Every tree in the sky, 20 to 30 meters high, was pushed down by the middle.

A two-story high, silver and black chariot that looks like a steel barrier appeared in everyone's sight.

The track of the chariot turned, pressing the ground for nearly 20 centimeters, driving straight to them, and stopped.

Several thick gun barrels pointed to the surroundings, making people chill.

The Awakened wearing a black uniform, opened the door of the chariot, and jumped from it.

Holding high-end rune weapons, carrying rune firearms, and the unnamed terrifying chariot.

He recognized the symbols inscribed on it.

It's the Green Shade Guard.

The captain couldn't help but swallowed.
