Chapter 263: Seizing the Ship
Li Yuanhong entered the gathering place. This was a large valley. There were many stone houses scattered in the valley. These houses were inhabited by civilians. Judging from the number, they were at least the size of a medium-sized city. However, since these houses were all in the apocalypse, It was built later, and the supporting facilities inside are not perfect, at least there is no energy such as electricity. Many houses now have smoke coming out of their chimneys, and obviously there is no central heating here, so each household burns firewood for heating.
Li Yuanhong followed several people to the place where they lived. The house was very large, with an interior of at least twenty square meters, but it was full of people, at least ten people. In addition to a few people who went out to look for food, there were also three women. and two and a half-year-old children, but these people also looked bad, and it seemed that they were malnourished due to not eating well for a long time.
After a few people came back, several women gathered around them: "How are you, did you find something to eat?"
The leading woman asked. At this time, several men took out compressed biscuits from their arms and handed them to the woman. This made the leading woman look happy. Just when she was about to cheer, the elder quickly covered the woman's mouth: "Shhh , don’t say anything, we smuggled these in, don’t say anything about it, just tell the outside world that we didn’t find anything to eat, and also, go and boil some water and make these biscuits into batter.”
The woman nodded and hurriedly went to get food. One of the three women, since Li Yuanhong and the others entered, had been looking for something in the queue. When she saw that the person she was looking for did not appear, she walked to the elder uneasily. In front of him: "Old Xu, where is my man?"
"Oh, he didn't get through it!" the elder said with a dark expression.
Upon hearing this, the woman covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. In this apocalyptic world, a man is her destiny. Once the man is gone, it will be difficult for her to survive in this apocalyptic world.
Seeing this, Li Yuanhong couldn't give them more help. After all, if he gave them more help now, it might attract the attention of others. After all, he was here to kidnap people, but once he kidnapped Jin Shanping, Li Yuanhong would Find a way to transport all these survivors to Qingyuan County.
Li Yuanhong asked the elder: "Old Xu, do you know where those officials live?"
"Official? What are you going there to do?" the elder asked doubtfully.
"If I want to find my friend, I must find a way to find the official in charge of household registration statistics. If I live in a house, how can it be done?" Li Yuanhong said with a smile.
"This... those officials are not easy to deal with. If you don't have anything to give as a gift, they won't do anything for you." The elder said with some worry.
"No problem, I still have some useful things in my pocket, so it should be fine." Li Yuanhong said confidently.
"Okay, actually those officials and most of the garrison are in the cave. It is a strategic shelter built before the end of the world. The facilities inside are hundreds of times better than here. When you go out, keep walking along the avenue until you reach the end. You can see the cave door." The elder said.
When Li Yuanhong heard this, he said thank you, then turned around and walked out of the door.
It was getting late at this time, and there were not many people on the street. Although there were many people living here, it had to be said that the government of the country was very strict. Even in the last days, the people here were still very responsible, so although the entire base is now seriously in need of supplies Not enough, but still no bad things like robbery happened.
When Li Yuanhong was approaching the cave, he suddenly saw a huge airship standing in the open space in front of the cave. It was the airship that Jin Shanping had robbed. At this time, a group of people got off the airship and walked among them. Li Yuanhong didn't recognize the person in front of him, but judging by his aura, he was definitely someone who had been in power for a long time. This person was wearing a gray-blue tunic suit, with a slicked back hair, shiny hair, a rosy complexion, and a little baby fat. Although he was in the end of the world, This man also has a general belly. Although it is not very powerful, it can be seen that this man has never been hungry.
Accompanying this person was a man with a wretched face, who nodded and bowed to the person walking in front. Li Yuanhong could tell at a glance that that person was Jin Shanping, exactly the person he was looking for.
Li Yuanhong hid in the shadows and followed those people. Those people quickly walked into the cave. Li Yuanhong took a closer look. The cave was very large. It could be seen that the cave door was very wide for trucks or missile vehicles to enter and exit. No problem. Since the door frame is very high, if you touch it from above, the soldiers on guard won't notice.
So Li Yuanhong used the darkness to climb up the mountain wall next to him, and soon reached the top of the gate. Li Yuanhong teleported and entered the cave from the top of the gate.
As soon as he entered the cave, Li Yuanhong discovered that the cave was built entirely in accordance with China's air-raid shelter standards to prevent nuclear bomb attacks. Even the layout was very similar. The entrance was on the first floor, with buildings above and below. If it was built according to China's cave-style The layout of the air-raid shelter is that the bottom is the tightest part of the entire air-raid shelter, so the group of people just now should go to the bottom.
Li Yuanhong did not dare to neglect, avoided the soldiers coming and going, and slowly sneaked away from the roof into the cave.
Maybe no one thought that someone would come in. It can be said that Li Yuanhong had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the innermost part of the cave. This is an elevator. Li Yuanhong did not enter directly and press the elevator button. There must be monitoring equipment installed in the elevator. If he If you enter the elevator directly, you will undoubtedly be trapped.
Just when Li Yuanhong was a little anxious, he saw two people coming from a distance. It was obvious that these two people were going to take the elevator, so Li Yuanhong hurriedly hid again.
While the two were chatting, one of them walked towards the elevator and said, "How do you think that Captain Jin got his shitty luck to find such an awesome airship?"
"Who knows, but no one knows about the many functions of that airship. No, the leader gave an order to Captain Jin to figure out the functions of that airship as soon as possible."
“Do you know what the connection is with some unused functions?”
"What does it matter?! Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? Before the end of the world, someone had installed a bomb on the leader's plane. If it had not been carefully inspected and found out, the plane would have exploded in the sky! So An object of unknown origin, with so many useless items on it, what if there is a bomb hidden inside?”
"Ah? And this matter, the leader is indeed thoughtful. Do you think Jin Shanping will harm the leader?"
"It's hard to say, but this kid is usually not very polite, but he doesn't have the courage to repay the leader. If something happens to the leader now, his status will definitely not be guaranteed. I don't think he will do anything stupid."
"What you said makes sense, but it's hard to say. Maybe Jin Shanping was bribed by someone else!"
"Who are you talking about?" Another person said in a surprised voice.
The two people wanted to continue chatting, but then the elevator came. They got on the elevator and went straight down.
Li Yuanhong originally wanted to go on, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He must not know that Jin Shanping was asked to submit the entire airship operation diagram, so he could only find the operator on the airship, which meant he was going to Look for the kidnapped team members. According to this kid's greedy nature, it is estimated that this guy will rush over there overnight, that is, he will go to the place where the people are detained overnight, so that he can follow Jin Shanping secretly and save the chance of arresting him. A confession was forced.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanhong turned around and backed out, then rushed back to the rooms of the people who took him into the base, and made an appointment with them to meet outside the base the next day. Then Li Yuanhong found the person he was looking for. , said he used to live with them, and left in a hurry.
Li Yuanhong returned to the cave gate. This time they did not enter the gate, but sneaked into the airship. Li Yuanhong concluded that Jin Shanping would definitely take the airship to where the hostages were held, so Li Yuanhong found a hidden cabin and hid. Go inside and keep an eye out for what's going on outside.
Li Yuanhong waited for a long time, but did not see Jin Shanping come out. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Jin Shanping sneaked out of the cave gate and came to the airship with a few people.
After getting on the airship, Jin Shanping immediately ordered people to sail the ship. One of them asked: "Captain Jin, why should we set off now? Can't we leave tomorrow?"
"What do you know? The leader asked so many questions when he visited the airship today. This is obviously a distrust of me. If I don't figure out the performance of this airship as soon as possible, tomorrow the leader will ask me questions and I can't answer them. Then I will This time I presented the airship, not as a gift to the leader, but as a coffin for myself, you know!" Jin Shanping said excitedly.
"Isn't that true?" The people below said in disbelief.
"No? Two days ago, an unreliable officer said that crystal cores can be eaten and can evolve. Do you know what happened to that officer?"
"I don't know!" Several of his men shook their heads.
"The leader found a person to do an experiment. The person ate a crystal core and exploded to death! The leader was furious. The officer and his relatives were shot in secret and died!" Jin Shanping was a little confused. I arrived with lingering fears.
"Ah? Can you level up by eating crystal cores?" The people below all showed surprised expressions.
In fact, Jin Shanping originally wanted to say that eating crystal cores can lead to evolution. Back in Qingyuan County, he got some information about evolution, but he was not sure about some details. The survivor who died after his body exploded. In fact, eating the wrong crystal core with attributes caused such consequences. But Jin Shanping held back and did not speak out, fearing that if that daredevil spread these words to the leader's ears, his words would challenge the leader's authority, and his own life would be in danger.
The airship traveled through the dark night and flew for more than an hour before arriving at its destination. The airship slowly landed in front of a hidden cave, and then Jin Shanping led the people into the cave in large strides.
At this time, Li Yuanhong, who was hiding on the airship, quickly walked out of the cabin and quickly ran to the control panel of the airship. Jin Shanping did not expect that there would be anyone hiding on the airship, and this person was so familiar with the airship, so there were very few people left on the airship, and these people were of low level.
Li Yuanhong walked all the way and relied on his speed to quickly get rid of several guards along the way. When he entered the cab, there was only one person there who was looking at the monitor outside the spacecraft in boredom, for fear that someone would attack from outside. airship.
The sound of Li Yuanhong opening the cabin door caught the man's attention, so the man looked back and saw a stranger entering the control room. He was surprised and wanted to ask Li Yuanhong who it was. Li Yuanhong would make the sound, so he teleported and came. When he came to the man's side, he raised his hand and struck the man with a knife directly in the back of his head, knocking him unconscious. At this time, Li Yuanhong began to tie the man up, gagged his mouth, and then killed the man. After hiding in a hidden place, I breathed a sigh of relief. The entire spacecraft was recaptured. I had to find a way to rescue the hostages in the cave later.
