Chapter 53 Entering the City



How could these towns and families at the foot of the mountain not become their granaries?

It was only a matter of time before we found their home.

Just now, Qiao Xuejun even thought of the empty city plan for a moment. He would just open the yard and let them come in to search. If they found it was empty, they would probably leave.

However, their yard has been processed many times, with bamboo strips, mechanisms, earth walls, trenches... There are heavy traces of artificial defense in the yard, and it is impossible to use the empty city strategy. Anyone with eyes can see how tightly it is arranged here.

There can't be anyone there.

She must find the defenders or a radio to contact them before the rebels come down the mountain to cause trouble.

Hearing what Qiao Xuejun said, Wang Juanfeng immediately said, "I'll go with you this time."

Kuang Qianli stood up and said, "I'll go. I'll go alone. You all wait at home. I'll go to town and pick one up and come back."

"Where are you going to pick it up?"

Kuang Qianli said: "That's easy. Security rooms in various hospitals, schools, supermarkets, and communities usually have them."

Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "Don't rush, I have my own plans. I plan to go to the city to see what the situation is like outside. Last time I went to the town, there was almost no one there."

The more information you know, the better it is for you to survive.

She had to do this important thing herself to feel at ease.

Moreover, both Kuang Qianli and Wang Juanfeng were quite slow-witted, especially Kuang Qianli. She was afraid that they would not come back after going out.

Wang Juanfeng disagreed and was about to persuade him, but Qiao Xuejun looked at her with a firm gaze, not allowing any rebuttal: "Now is not the time to discuss it slowly, just like that, when you came in, you agreed to listen to me."

Qiao Xuejun's words were powerful and left no room for negotiation.

Wang Juanfeng frowned.

Qiao Xuejun emphasized again: "Just listen to me."

Qiao Xuejun suppressed other opinions with a tough attitude, and they agreed to wait until dark before going.

Although Qiao Xuejun was anxious, she could only wait. After all, it was not safe to go out during the day. First, it was too hot, and second, she didn't know who she would meet, so she would be easily discovered. She could only wait until night.

Wang Juanfeng also tried to comfort her: "There are so many rebels. It will take several days just to settle them down on the mountain. Moreover, the mountain where they originally wanted to build their base has been burned down. They will definitely have to find a new place."

Qiao Xuejun also knows this.

But when the sun set, she heard the system's warning that someone was approaching two hundred meters away, and then the surveillance footage appeared in her mind.

They are two rebels.

They were not equipped with guns, and like the previous ones, they only carried steel rods and hatchets. They passed by the small courtyard, chatting and pointing at the courtyard.

"You can tell from the looks of it that this family is poor. This house must be at least 20 or 30 years old. Every other house has a newer one than this one."

"Over there, that villa looks like it belongs to a rich person. Let's go and see what's in the house."

Qiao Xuejun saw the two rebels passing by the courtyard with disdain, and they didn't even have the interest to come over and push the door. They went directly to another place.

Indeed, from the outside, you can't see the numerous mechanisms inside because of the wall. You can only see the not-so-high outer wall. Inside is a two-story building. The building is not covered with wall tiles like other villas. The white paint it applied back then has turned yellow and mottled after twenty years of wind and sun, and it looks very old.

The only new thing was probably the green bamboo wall on the rooftop, but apparently the two rebels didn't pay attention to it.

"Write this villa down in your notebook. You will have to report it to the squad leader when you get back later."

The rebel took out a pen and paper and began to draw the villa on the other side.

It seems that these two are here just to gather general intelligence and draw maps, not to carry out a formal robbery.

The two rebels did not appear again. Qiao Xuejun watched as it was getting dark. He packed his bags, linen woven bags, small leather bags, slingshots, steel balls... and prepared to go to the city.

Before setting off, Qiao Xuejun filled the motorcycle with diesel.

She also took two steamed potatoes and a bottle of water into her backpack. After all, she was going to the city, and if she couldn't get back in time, she would have to consider food and drink. Wang Juanfeng also took a Snickers bar and two pieces of dry bread and stuffed them into her backpack.

It takes a total of 1 hour to drive from the town to the city.

Including the time she bought the mulch, this was her second time going out.

Same night, but now hotter than before.

Kuang Qianli's motorcycle was very quiet, and it was not abrupt at night. Qiao Xuejun was not familiar with the road to the city, so she just controlled the speed at 30 mph. The moonlight was very bright, and she drove very steadily all the way.

Military roadblocks were also set up on the central avenue leading into the city, just like the ones seen in the small town last time.

When he stopped in front of the roadblock, Qiao Xuejun was already sweating all over.

She drove the car into a dark alley next to her, took out the key and got out of the car. She took out the bike lock prepared by Kuang Qianli from her backpack, and then took out a woven bag. After putting the motorcycle in a secluded corner of the alley, she locked it and covered it with the woven bag.

There aren't many people in the town, but there might be a lot of people in the city, so we have to make some arrangements to prevent anyone from stealing the car.

After making sure there were no problems with the cover-up and confirming the surrounding situation with the system, Qiao Xuejun left carefully.

She quickened her pace, crossed the roadblock, and headed directly towards the city center.

The roadblocks were only set up in the city center. The security forces mentioned in the broadcast were in the city center, where the Public Security Bureau was originally located.

According to the map provided by the system, Qiao Xuejun needs to walk for 15 minutes to get there.
