Chapter 8 Pathfinder
After Wang Delin waited for Di Ping to sit down, he coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then slowly said, "I believe everyone knows the purpose of our gathering here, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding their heads to show their understanding, then they continued, "The provincial government has sent notices to important leaders today, and they will break through the siege of the Bianzhou Military Region Base in the east of the city before noon tomorrow; the military will have troops to respond! There is only one chance to keep up, and if it is too late, we will not be able to wait for the military to respond."
Having said that, Wang Delin paused for a while, swept around, and then slowly said, "So we have to get to the provincial government by noon tomorrow, so that we can follow the large army, and the more than ten kilometers of road, the danger is definitely Yes, we are the ones who need to stick together to be safer."
"Brother Wang, when are we leaving!" At this time, a woman in her thirties who was slightly handsome asked in a low voice.
"We will set off on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. I have observed it for the past two days. From one to five o'clock, the mutant mice and mutant dogs begin to retreat, so it is safer to wait until 6 o'clock, and the road is not easy to walk, so we have to leave enough space. Time is spent on the road!" Wang Delin glanced at the woman and whispered.
"Then what if it's not safe outside? If you encounter a mutant animal on the road, you're not going to die?" At this time, another thin young man asked a little scared.
"Yes! Yes! I heard on the radio that there are mutant snakes, mutant cats, etc. on the road. Wouldn't this be too dangerous?" At this time, people in the crowd responded in horror.
"Yes! It seems that there are lions and tigers? I think it's safer at home?" Another person in the crowd answered.
Di Ping had been observing Wang Delin, and found that when Wang Delin heard the topic being discussed in the crowd, he glanced at the emaciated young man with a flash of killing intent; then the killing intent in his eyes disappeared, and a faint expression appeared on his face. Smile.
Di Ping felt a chill in his heart, thinking that this guy is definitely not a good friend. It seems that he already hates this young man. The killing intent in his eyes is too poisonous, but people who don't pay attention can't really see it. He has been practicing for the past few years. When he saw Wang Delin's gaze swept over, he lowered his eyes silently.
"Cough..." Wang Delin coughed a few more times and said softly after suppressing the people's discussion.
"Everyone, I just have one question!" Wang Delin increased his tone, stopped and glanced sharply at the people around him before slowly saying, "How much food do you have at home, and how many days is enough?"
"Amazing!" Di Ping whispered in his heart. This Wang Delin is by no means a simple person. He looks at the problem and goes straight to the root. Di Ping also thought of this problem. I can't cook even if I have noodles, and I have enough bread and instant noodles to eat for a few days. I have collected the most food by myself, and now there is not much left, let alone these people.
"Yes! Our family will run out of food soon!" At this moment, one of them suddenly realized and exclaimed in a low voice.
"My house is gone too. There were few robberies at the time. I don't think I'll have anything to eat tomorrow! Who can lend me some?" Another person followed.
Now whoever lends you food is an idiot, and everyone gave him an angry look when they heard what he said.
Wang Delin watched everyone talking anxiously in a low voice, sitting on the sofa with a smile and clasping his hands in front of his lower abdomen, his legs were still swaying slightly, showing that he was very proud now.
Di Ping secretly lowered his eyes and observed calmly. He felt that Wang Delin was not a simple person. He could observe the activity time of the mutant animals and gather all these people. The group that was going to split up, he pulled everyone in one sentence. Back, the means are still there.
"I think it's better to go! Waiting to die at home!" Then several people agreed.
"Yes, I think we should go to the provincial government to meet, after all, there is an army there!" The crowd also expressed their opinions.
"Okay, that's the decision. We will gather at 5:30 tomorrow morning and leave on time at 6:00!" Seeing that everyone's opinions began to be unified, Wang Delin finally decided to make a version.
"Now let's divide the tasks and see who opens the way!" Seeing that everyone had no objection, Wang Delin lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then spewed out a cloud of smoke. He glanced at everyone from the smoke and said lightly.
"The main event is here!" Di Ping thought to himself.
The dozens of people in the room fell silent for a while, and no one wanted to open the way. Anyone who was not afraid of death was best in the middle, but it was not very likely. There was always someone in front and someone behind.
"I'll open the way!" At this time, one person in the crowd said solemnly. Everyone looked at him. Di Ping also looked up, a little surprised. This was one of the two people who went upstairs to look for him, Li Sheng.
Di Ping did not expect this man to be so courageous in silence, which seemed to be in line with his sturdy appearance; in reality, such people who sacrifice themselves are few, because this may be fatal. Whoever wants to be an early bird will say that Di Ping has no such mind.
"Count me in!" Another person said solemnly at this time.
Hearing the familiar voice, Di Ping saw that it was the fat man Chen Gang beside Li Sheng. He didn't expect that both of them would be willing to lead the way. They were looking for him just now, but now they are leading the way again.
"Okay, the two of you are good, there are already two of them, is there any more?" At this time, Wang Delin praised the two of them softly, and then his eyes swept across the crowd.
Everyone who was swept by his gaze lowered their heads, not daring to meet Wang Delin's gaze, for fear of being named by Wang Delin, and it would be difficult to refuse at that time.
"Count me in!" Another person in the crowd whispered.
Di Ping saw that this was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a migrant worker's uniform.
, The gray-headed, there is still a lot of white ashes on his body, it should be the decoration worker for the decoration, and he was trapped here after an accident.
"Okay, another warrior, Brother Luo, joins. Now it's good to have another person!" Wang Delin looked at the migrant worker and said in appreciation, and then swept his eyes to the people around him.
Di Ping also raised his eyes and looked around, and found that basically everyone lowered their heads, not looking at Wang Delin, obviously no one came out.
"Count me in!" Di Ping also lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally decided to participate in this trailblazer, not because of his fearlessness, but because he felt that these people were selfish and timid, and he did not I don't want to walk with these people, and I don't want to give my back to these people, but the three people who opened the way are less pleasing to the eye, and people are more at ease.
"Good young people, there are not many young people like this now!" Wang Delin looked at Di Ping with admiration and praised.
Di Ping just smiled lightly and didn't speak. His eyes met the other three's. The four of them looked at each other and smiled, nodded slightly and stopped talking.
"Okay! I'll be here today, and everyone will gather here tomorrow, don't miss it!" Wang Delin saw that everything was resolved, and it was no nonsense. After all, it was really unsafe for so many people to gather here.
Everyone responded, and then, one by one, lightly, opened the door, checked the situation outside, and left one after another; Di Ping also greeted the three, and walked upstairs to his room.
Back in the room, Di Ping was not idle, he found a mountaineering bag, put all the food he could bring into the bag, filled it up, and filled a few more bottles of water until he found that he could no longer hold anything else. After that, I gave up; I ate something casually at noon, and started the afternoon training again. I didn’t dare to be too intense in the afternoon, but I just practiced 10 more groups at will and then rested.
Night fell again, this time, he opened the flue again, put two bags in to prepare to catch another fish, and hid in his room, this time he didn't dare to sleep on the sofa, he was afraid of falling asleep, he almost fell asleep last night If you fall asleep and are attacked by mice, it will be hard.
The night seemed unusually quiet, except for a few barks from outside the window, some strange sounds of wild beasts, and shrill birdsong, and there was no movement; When he woke up suddenly, he was afraid of oversleeping. He kept thinking about it, and his nerves were tense, so he woke up as soon as the light entered the room.
Looking at the time, it was already 5:40. He hurriedly washed his face, tore open two bags of bread and ate it for breakfast. He carried his hiking bag, picked up the Han sword, and prepared to go downstairs to meet.
There were some cluttered sounds in the corridor, but fortunately it was not loud, but Di Ping's hearing was already good, and he could hear it vaguely. I thought that there were already a lot of people gathered downstairs. It seems that there should be no danger, so I hurried downstairs.
Going down to the third floor, and sure enough, door 301 was slightly open, and the room was full of people, no need to count, there were definitely a hundred people, men and women, old and young, although everyone's voice was low, but there were so many people, there were still some It was messy; Wang Delin was standing in the crowd, with Chen Gang, Li Sheng and the migrant worker standing beside him. When he saw Di Ping coming in, he immediately greeted him.
"Brother Di, everyone is basically here, we're waiting for you, are you ready, we'll set off right away!" Wang Desen said with a smile, holding Di Ping's hand.
"You're welcome Brother Lin, I'm late!" Di Ping was also a little embarrassed, he was indeed late.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, just right!" Wang Delin waved his hand with a smile.
"Come on Brother Di, let's study the route!" Wang Delin took Di Ping to the coffee table in the middle of the hall, and saw a map of Zhongzhou City on it. The location of the provincial government was marked with thin lines on the map. The red line draws a route map, which is the direct route from this community.
"Brother Di, what do you think of this line?" Pointing to the line on the map, Wang Delin looked at Di Ping and asked.
"Well, the route is fine. This is the main road. There should be less weeds on the road, so it's easier to walk, and it's easy to judge the direction!" Di Ping glanced at it and felt that Wang Delin was indeed not a sloppy bag. The route planning was very practical, and the distance can also be said It is the nearest, and try to choose the main road. You must know that the main road, the road surface is hardened, and the grass will grow slower.
