Catastrophe
Chapter 62: 1 restless night
Zhang Fang avoided Ye Peng's sight, and when he slipped to the camp where Ning Zhe and the others were, he gently pushed aside the thorns in front of him and prepared to sneak in.
"Who?!"
Just as Zhang Fang started, a low question came from behind him.
"It's me, Zhang Fang!" Zhang Fang heard Ning Zhe's voice, turned to look at Ning Zhe, who was holding the knife, and looked around again: "You're not at the camp so late, where have you been?"
"I'm not used to eating wild fruits, I have a stomachache!" Ning Zhe put away his waist knife: "Why did you come here, Ye Peng asked you to come?"
"It has nothing to do with Ye Peng, I came by myself! Ning Zhe, you must leave immediately! Ye Peng has already called for support to the fortress, and a transportation team under the Pei family's chaebol is coming to this oasis, it may be at any time. Come on, your time is running out!" Zhang Fang looked at Ning Zhe and said seriously.
Ning Zhe smiled: "You tell me this, aren't you afraid Ye Peng will know?"
"Of course I'm afraid! He's my immediate boss! But I also don't want to see you die in his hands! I don't know what you're thinking about, and I don't know if everyone's recent interactions make you feel like you're standing there. They are on an equal footing with us! But this is all an illusion! What I want to tell you is that the reason why the fortresses look down on the refugees is because they are two completely different groups. The forces standing behind the fortresses are the chaebols! Do you know what a chaebol is? It's a group of warlords with great wealth and wealth!" Zhang Fang took a deep breath: "I said this, I didn't mean to look down on you, and I really wanted to help you, but I'm soft-spoken, and after returning to the fortress, I still have to survive! I dare not take risks! So there is only so much I can do for you!"
"Thank you!" Ning Zhe nodded in greeting, and then walked towards the Forest of Thorns without hesitation.
"Are you still going to stay?" Zhang Fang asked, looking at Ning Zhe's back, biting his back molars.
"In this matter, like you, I can't help myself!" Ning Zhe paused for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Fang: "You told me before that Ye Peng wanted to get rid of me, except that I killed him. Mercenaries, and other reasons, what?"
"...Do you know why the fortress has to track the wolves to find this oasis?" Zhang Fang looked at the continuous shadow of the oasis in the dark, and took a deep breath: "You said before that there were many oases near Fort 87, but They all disappeared because of the deterioration of the environment. In fact, this is not the case. Those oases were all destroyed by the Pei clan! Not only the Pei clan, but in the north, the Xiahou clan and the Jing clan are also doing such things. The purpose is to cut off all the possibility of independent survival for the refugees, so that they can only become cheap labor for the chaebol! This kind of thing is the dark side of the chaebol's appearance! So they will not allow this kind of thing to spread! Even if it is to silence, you will must die!"
This answer far exceeded Ning Zhe's expectations.
He originally thought that Xie Guangkun, a botanist, was looking for the oasis for scientific research projects. It turned out that his purpose was to confirm that there were really wild seeds here, and then call for support to destroy it.
The group's search and sacrifice for the past few days is only because the people of the Pei clan chaebol found seeds in the feces of the wolves and wanted to find out the source.
All of this is just for a simple and rude purpose, cutting off the livelihood of the refugees, even if they do not have land to plant, they cannot have seeds!
"As a friend, there's only so much I can say. I would like to advise you that personal strength is really worthless in front of the chaebol. As for where to go, you make your own decision!" Zhang Fang left a sentence to Ning Zhe, Then, facing the wind and sand, he disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Fang's words made Ning Zhe whimper in his heart. In the past propaganda of the fortress, the image of the chaebols was bright and positive. It was they who squeezed out the job opportunities in the hands of the fortresses and distributed them to the refugees outside the city, so that they would not suffer starve.
Ning Zhe wanted to scoff at this statement, but he never imagined that the chaebol's methods would be so despicable that they would make the refugees become livestock that walk upright in their hands at all costs.
However, Ning Zhe didn't have much hatred for the chaebols. As Zhang Fang said, in front of the chaebols, anyone's power is insignificant. He is not a hero, and he doesn't want to be a hero. He just wants to be in this troubled world. , make a way for yourself.
But even just seeking a way out is so difficult.
When Ning Zhe returned to the campsite in the forest, Tu Shi, Ren Jiao and Fatty Li were still sitting on the ground in a daze.
"I received news that the support of the scientific expedition team is coming soon. If you don't leave, it will be too late." Ning Zhe sat on the ground and spoke succinctly to the three of them.
When Fatty Li heard the words, the hand behind him trembled a little: "I'm not leaving! I swore to take care of you."
"Do you really want to stay?" Ren Jiao asked in a calm tone as she peeled the wild fruit with a knife.
Ning Zhe smiled and nodded: "Well, I advise you to leave quickly, because what is coming tonight is not just the support called by Ye Peng."
"Who else?" A flash of surprise flashed in Ren Jiao's eyes. She couldn't figure out how a refugee like Ning Zhe could call in other support.
"Wolf pack." Ning Zhe lay on the grass and looked at the sky full of stars.
A thousand miles across the bright moon, in the oasis swayed by the rays of light, a black line spread from the lake to the woods where Ning Zhe and others were hiding, filled with a stench. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
These are all the animal blood and flesh and blood pieces that Ning Zhe just sprinkled along the way.
Ning Zhe's only chance to survive is to choose to gamble, betting that these **** smells will attract the wolves and attack their camp. He is also gambling that the wolves will appear earlier than Ye Peng called. support.
The smell of blood drifted away in the wind, and a large number of flying insects had been attracted, and scavengers began to drag the corpses on the ground.
The wind picked up and the lake rippled, as if to announce that it was destined to be an unsettled night.
…
late at night.
Ye Peng sat next to the machine gun position, yawned, took out an empty cigarette case in his pocket, poured the shredded tobacco into his palm, filled it into his mouth and chewed gently. He is a very addicted smoker, but The smoke he brought had already been damaged along with the supplies. He looked at his watch by the moonlight. It was almost half past two, and in another half an hour, he should wake up Zhang Fang and come over to take his place at night. .
The morning before, Ye Peng received a call from the fortress. People from the military told him that a transport team had been diverted to come to support, and that Pei Xiangtong must be taken care of.
In fact, without the orders of the military personnel, Ye Peng, after knowing Pei Xiangtong's identity, was also courting her intentionally or unintentionally. If a person can get the attention of Pei's family, it means that he is prosperous.
As for the refugees in Ning Zhe, Ye Peng didn't care much. Anyway, when the backup arrived, they would surely die.
Along the way, Ning Zhe has done too many actions that violated his bottom line, no matter what, he will not let Ning Zhe live.
Just when Ye Peng lowered his head to think, Yu Guangyue suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing across the open ground in the distance. ?
