Chapter 85 Sister Tao dare not touch you.
"Zhao Yunduo, you don't have much time left. This afternoon, Tao Jie will shave Yaoyao's hair, tomorrow it will be her nails, and the day after tomorrow it will be her nail caps..."
Before Wu An finished speaking, Zhao Yunduo had already turned off the intercom, probably to make preparations.
After putting the walkie-talkie back into the storage box, Wu An turned around and found that his father was staring at him. Although his face was full of wrinkles, there was a pair of eyes shining with brilliance, which frightened Wu An.
It was obvious that Mr. Wu heard everything.
"Grandpa..."
Wu An opened his mouth, wanting to tell some lies to get around it, but then he remembered that his grandfather hated people telling lies, especially his own grandson. His family had been members of the Imperial Guard since the previous dynasty, and in modern times, generations had joined the army, continuing until the end of the world. If the end of the world had not suddenly arrived, Wu An would have been ready to apply for military school.
Mr. Wu did not scold him. Instead, he calmly sat next to Wu An and asked him gently, "Wu An, do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"
When Wu An was a child, his father was busy with government affairs, so he grew up with his grandfather for a long time. His grandfather loved him and understood him, and Wu An was always willing to open up to his grandfather.
"I don't agree with Tao Jie's way of management." Wu An thought for a moment and said this.
Whether it was arresting the child to force Zhao Yunduo to come back, or sending Cui Zhende, who had different political views, out to carry out the mission, all of these made Wu An feel that Tao Jie was narrow-minded and could not lead the B station base well.
Moreover, it is now the fifth year of the apocalypse, and the supplies in various bases have continued to run out this year and are becoming increasingly scarce. Is it true that everyone can only survive on the mission rewards from Mr. K?
What about the bases that have not completed their mission?
Wu An has been following Cui Zhende because he thinks that food production should be the key research direction in the next few years in the end times. Unfortunately, Tao Jie is short-sighted and unwilling to invest heavily in the construction of the laboratory. As a result, more and more poor people in the B City base cannot afford to eat, while the upper class people are still eating meat.
If Zhao Yunduo hadn't led them to complete the last Green Giant mission, and if there hadn't been the mission reward from Mr. K, City B would have been in chaos by now.
Wu An told Old Master Wu all his thoughts.
After listening to him, Old Master Wu patted Wu An on the shoulder like he did when he was a kid, without commenting on whether Wu An's idea was right or wrong. He just said to him earnestly: "Wu An, since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and righteous. If you choose one, you will have to bear the price of the other."
Wu An lowered his eyes. He didn't expect his old man to say such words.
"I know, Grandpa."
"Xiao Tao doesn't know about this yet. If she knew, I'm afraid she wouldn't let it go. Wu An, how will you deal with it then? Have you thought about all this?"
Wu An looked into Grandpa Wu's eyes, which were filled with deep trust. The old man patted Wu An on the shoulder and said, "But Grandpa believes in your choice, whether you leave or stay..."
He touched Wu An's head. This was the first time that the old man had touched Wu An's head since his rebellious period. The old man left after he finished speaking, leaving Wu An sitting on the sofa, thinking for a long time.
At noon, Wu An pushed open the door of the prison cell, bringing porridge made of white and brown rice, as well as a bag of pickled mustard tubers.
In the cell, Kong Liang had a stubble on his face and his eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Wu An, there was a hint of shock in his eyes, followed by relief and mixed emotions. "You're okay. That's right. Your grandfather is in charge of munitions. Sister Tao doesn't dare to touch you."
He smiled at Wu An, then picked up the bowl of rice porridge that was as thin as water and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu An said nothing, but when the prison door was closed, a strange clicking sound caught Kong Liang's attention. He reached out and felt around the door, and suddenly touched something cold.
Wu An outside had already walked far away, perhaps going to deliver food to the next person.
Soon, when the lunch break came, Zhao Yunduo arrived with great fanfare.
The plane stopped at the gate of the B City base. She acted like a gangster and fired a shot into the sky, scaring the people on the surveillance platform.
The second person to get off the plane was Connie. He was dressed nicely and even smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit jacket. He said to the person who opened the door, "Hello, I'm Connie from Y City. Please ask Sister Tao to come see me."
Tao Jie seemed to have no idea that Zhao Yunduo was coming. She hurried to the gate of the base wearing only a coat.
"Zhao Yunduo?" Sister Tao stared at Zhao Yunduo with her sparkling eyes, "Why did you come at this time? And you have so many guns?"
"Want it?" Zhao Yunduo raised the gun a little higher with one hand, and saw Tao Jie's eyes moving up and down along with the muzzle of the gun, and then saw Tao Jie nodded.
Tao Jie said, "How many people do you want to save? One person, one gun, and ten bags of rice. Oh, and I heard you have some chicken hamburgers and 100 kilograms of chicken meat left."
She treated Zhao Yunduo like a waitress, reading out the dishes to her one by one, just like she was in a restaurant.
"Do you think I'm a turtle in a wishing well? Why are you making wishes all the time?" Zhao Yunduo pointed his gun at Tao Jie's face. "You may have misunderstood. I'm not here to negotiate. I'm here to rob."
If Zhao Yunduo was a conscienceless person, she could just fly the plane directly into the base and overwhelm a lot of people. She had ten submachine guns, sixteen pistols, and a sack of bullets.
If we just fight with weapons, not to mention City B, even City Y has little chance of winning.
"Negotiation? That won't work." Tao Jie had a confident smile on her face. "You have a lot of supplies, right? Where did you get them? Either tell me how you have the supplies, or hand them over. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the person you want to see."
Zhao Yunduo frowned slightly, thinking, this Sister Tao wouldn't really think of herself as a soft persimmon, right?
She changed to a pistol and aimed at Tao Jie's heart. Before Connie could stop her, she heard a gunshot. The bullet deviated a little and hit Tao Jie's waist. Blood oozed from the wound instantly.
As Sister Tao screamed in pain, a group of guards instantly surrounded her. They all held spears, swords and other cold weapons in their hands and pointed them at Zhao Yunduo. Cold weapons were no match for hot weapons.
Tao Jie shouted angrily: "How dare you do that!"
She snatched the intercom from the person next to her and said something. A moment later, five people were taken to the stands. Zhao Yunduo looked at those familiar faces. There were expressions of fear, trust, or pain on their faces. No matter what, no one cast a resentful look at Zhao Yunduo.
The person behind the five people was Wu An, who was holding a gun in his hand, pointing it at Yaoyao and the others.
"Kill one for me first!"
While having someone wipe the wound on her waist, Tao Jie gave fierce orders to Wu An.
But Wu An remained unmoved. Tao Jie looked as if she wanted to eat him up. Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Tao Jie gritted her teeth and was so angry that she pushed away the people beside her and rushed to the stands.
When Tao Jie was about to snatch the gun from Wu An's hand, she suddenly felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she was captured by Zhou Micheng and a dagger was pressed against her neck.
"You! How come you were untied?" Puzzled, Sister Tao lowered her head and saw a ball of hemp rope on the ground.
