Want to rebel?
Big fish?
Jiang Miao became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Su Le took two breaths and said, "Yesterday, I found traces of collapsed bushes near our tent. At first, I thought it was wild boars and bison in the mountains, and I thought we should wait for them and kill them all at once! Then I followed the traces and looked over. Guess what I found?"
Fang Yang cooperated: "What?"
"A cottage."
"What happened to the cottage?"
Su Le: "This village is not an ordinary village. Fang Yang, do you remember the conversation between the municipal staff members that we accidentally overheard in Jincai Building the day before yesterday?"
"Is it because a lot of girls are missing in Ancheng? Even the mayor's daughter is missing!"
"Yes! All the people from the city police were dispatched that day, but they didn't find any traces of the icy snow. This matter became an unsolved case."
Fang Yang was surprised: "Could it be that those girls are hiding in the village?"
"That's right! Although I didn't find the exact location of their hideout, I met them on the road!"
Su Le showed disgust on his face: "Two living girls, tied to a motorcycle like prey! It makes me feel sick just looking at them!"
"brute!"
Su Le slowed down and said, "I came back to discuss with you right after I found out, whether we can catch them all in one fell swoop! We are not only saving people, I also saw the motorcycle was loaded with valuables looted from all over. Besides, we saved the mayor's daughter, shouldn't he thank us? It will be no problem to ask for some supplies."
Jiang Miao narrowed his eyes slightly.
She didn't know about this in her previous life, but this time she ran into it and she felt she would be letting down the iron fist of socialism if she didn't take advantage of these despicable people.
Coupled with the attractive title of the mayor's daughter, maybe she could use this relationship to get into the first ring of the base, the inner circle.
She had heard from others in her previous life that the houses in the base were divided into single-family, single-story, three-bedroom, two-bedroom, and shared houses.
If you want a single-family home, you need to have very strong connections.
"Which direction is the village?"
Hearing the senior ask this, Su Le knew that this was feasible: "It's on the hillside ahead, just over the small slope!"
Jiang Miao threw her bag over and said, "Let's go check out the situation first."
Wanlong Mountain is much more rugged than Yeming Mountain.
Its peak is a long and narrow ridge that stretches for more than ten kilometers as shown on the map.
The three of them ate some compressed biscuits as they walked, and followed Su Le's footsteps towards their destination.
After walking for about an hour, we saw the forest becoming denser and denser, and the snow becoming deeper and deeper. The howling in the forest was like an evil wind, and the sound was hoarse and scary.
"Look, there are so many footprints!"
Suddenly, dense footprints appeared from the corner ahead. Jiang Miao broke off a pine branch from the roadside and tied it around his waist: "This should be very close to the village. Be careful to hide."
Su Le and Fang Yang followed suit and tied pine branches around their waists. When they walked in front, the branches behind them would wipe away their footprints, leaving no trace on the ground.
"We'll follow the footprints from the side."
After walking about another kilometer along the mountain road, I heard the roar of motorcycles in the distance.
The three of them squatted in the grass by the roadside without moving, but after a moment they saw three mountain motorcycles whizzing past them.
There were a lot of supplies tied up on it, and there was even a person tied to one of the motorcycles.
After the motorcycle drove away, Su Le gnashed his teeth and said, "What a beast! Together with what I saw this morning, they have kidnapped three girls today!"
Jiang Miao stood up and watched the motorcycle turn left and disappear on the mountain road from a distance: "Let's go up the mountain to the left."
Looking down from a high place has a natural visual advantage.
The three of them climbed all the way up and finally found a suitable observation position halfway up the mountain near noon.
Jiang Miao took out a telescope from his travel bag and looked towards the gate halfway up the mountain.
Su Le: "How's the situation?"
"It's a bit troublesome." Jiang Miao handed over the telescope: "There are only two brick houses in the front. The main activity place should be the cave in the back. It looks very deep."
The cave itself has a natural defensive advantage, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There was only one three-meter-wide entrance from all directions, and even Jiang Miao was not sure he could sneak in without being discovered.
Su Le opened his eyes and tried hard to find a breakthrough point in the vast white space, but his eyes were dazzled and he couldn't find a suitable one.
"There is actually such an organization in the deep mountains." Fang Yang felt strange. "How do they make a living so far away from the city? The gasoline money for robbing in the city and back is enough for them to buy dozens of kilograms of food. Do they hunt?"
At first Jiang Miao guessed that the nearby mountain people ran to the cave to settle temporarily because of the flood, but after hearing what Fang Yang said, it did seem a bit strange.
Even if the flood came here for temporary refuge, the extreme cold weather has arrived, and there is ice and snow everywhere, but there is no flood trouble. Why must they choose a place so far away in the forest as their base?
Even cars are difficult to get around, and the only way to get around is by motorcycle.
Several places they had just passed by were more suitable for living than this place.
"There's something strange."
Jiang Miao's sleepiness immediately dissipated, and he stood up and said, "I'll go down and check the situation first."
It was already twelve o'clock noon.
She had already eaten three meals and couldn't swallow the compressed biscuits, so she had a roujiamo and tofu pudding on the way.
The roujiamo bun is crispy and the meat is tender, and the tofu pudding is soft and delicious.
It feels warm and comfortable in the stomach, and it dispels a lot of the cold.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Miao took a long detour and spent more than an hour to reach the edge of the cave, which was about fifty meters away from the cave entrance.
The closer you are, the more detailed your observation will be.
Jiang Miao hid behind a big tree and took out the telescope again.
I found that the guarding here was relatively relaxed. Relying on the natural geographical advantage, there were only a few people at the entrance of the cave, gathered around the campfire at the sentry post, drinking and chatting.
When the weather is cold, a sip of wine can warm your stomach and heart. After drinking it, your whole body will be warm and you will not be afraid of the cold.
The camera moved down and she found that everyone had a rifle on their back, and there were even other hot weapons in the corners of the sentry post.
The distance was too far. Jiang Miao couldn't hear what they said and didn't dare to act rashly. He could only look at his watch to observe their shift times and the number of people on the shift.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon and another motorcycle came back.
The person who came this time was different from the ones they saw on the road. He was not tied up with ropes and placed on the back seat like cargo.
Instead, they were like the Indians, with a motorcycle and a wooden board, and five or six people sitting on each vehicle. A rough count showed that there were twenty-one people in total!
What does this mean?
There was no cargo or anything else on the car, just people.
Jiang Miao was puzzled and could only look carefully through the telescope, not missing any details.
When they noticed someone coming, the people sitting by the campfire immediately stood up, whispered to the people on the motorcycles first, and then questioned the rest of the people one by one.
Each person's conversation lasts about two minutes, and after the conversation, they have to be searched before they can stand next to the campfire.
Both sides were so polite that it looked like a group of newcomers were undergoing an initiation ceremony.
Jiang Miao was amazed.
She had been in this forest for at least a day, so how come she didn't notice that there were so many abundant resources here?
There are more than 20 new recruits. Do they really have so much food to feed so many people?
Half an hour later, everyone passed the questioning and the person guarding the door walked to the cave entrance and rang the bell next to it.
Jiang Miao counted attentively.
Three three two two one.
Soon, the heavy cave door opened, and white smoke like hot air came out. Then the guard took the lead, put his hand on his left chest and recited something.
Then more than 20 people followed his example and said, "God bless our Lord forever."
Jiang Miao heard the voices of the crowd clearly as they drifted over with the wind, and she broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.
This missionary-like scene really feels like a brainwashing conference.
Afterwards, all the newcomers went in and the cave returned to peace.
Judging from the fact that everyone walked at a fairly fast pace when entering the cave, it can be inferred that this cave should be very large, and at least the entrance can easily accommodate twenty people at the same time.
So weird.
At first Jiang Miao thought there were no more than a dozen people here, but looking at the situation, there might be more than a hundred people inside!
How big is this cave?
She recalled that she seemed to be at a pyramid scheme just now, and this was not the kind of trouble she could afford to cause.
Jiang Miao decisively withdrew from the cave entrance.
Many people who cannot survive the doomsday gathered here. Through kindness, deception, or threats, so many people were gathered and even supported by hot weapons to establish such a hidden and secret stronghold in the deep mountains and forests.
Then shouted slogans.
——God bless our Lord for all eternity.
This kind of slogan similar to "Chen Sheng will rise as the King of Chu" seems to have returned to the feudal dynasty, with a sense of absurdity that transcends time.
What are they going to do?
Rebellion?
The more Jiang Miao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She quickly returned to the halfway point of the mountain.
"Go!"
"What's wrong?" Su Le and Fang Yang were both confused. "What happened?"
Jiang Miao took a deep breath and said, "Someone here wants to rebel."
Before the end of the world, this rebellion was mostly used by parents and teachers as a rebuke to their children.
So when Su Le and Fang Yang heard this strange yet familiar word, they were stunned for a long time and didn't react to what Jiang Miao was saying.
"Literally, rebellion."
Jiang Miao recounted to them what he had just seen and heard. After he finished speaking, the three of them fell into a rare silence.
Then Fang Yang and Su Le said one by one:
“That’s outrageous.”
“Who is so imaginative?”
"You can't even save your own life, yet you still want to be king or emperor."
"We, the People's Liberation Army, fired at them with our heavy machine guns."
Jiang Miao shook his head: "No, they have guns, they are well equipped, and their brainwashing ability seems to be pretty good. In addition, the network is down and the army has no high-tech communication support. When they fight, they will be just like these scattered soldiers and generals. They are completely blind and rely purely on technology and tactics."
What this means is that if they really want to seize power, they are not without the ability to fight.
The two of them sat there, not knowing what to say.
The natural disasters and doomsday are already so unbearable, is there going to be another war? Is there any chance for people to survive?
Compared to the worries of these two people, Jiang Miao is in a better situation.
I have never heard of any war in my previous life.
Of course, it is possible that her return as a reborn person caused the butterfly effect.
It is also possible that the municipal army in the previous life quietly solved the problem themselves. Such things would not have been reported in the news even in the era of advanced Internet, let alone in the end times when communications are poor.
It's just a little strange.
This place is only ten kilometers away from the NSER workstation, even Su Le could notice something unusual and follow.
With so many people moving around nearby, didn’t the scouts and counter-scouts at the workstation notice anything unusual?
After a short pause, Su Le stood up and said, "Let's go, this is really not something that ordinary people can afford to take care of."
Jiang Miao also nodded. At most, she would secretly pass a message to Director Xie, and the special merit that came to his door would directly promote him to the rank of general.
They both started packing their bags to leave, but Fang Yang did not move.
Seeing that he looked strange, Su Le immediately became alert: "What's wrong?"
Fang Yang touched his chest and said, "I don't know. I feel panicky, as if danger is approaching."
His feeling is very accurate, and it has helped him avoid countless dangers since he was a child, especially at the end of the world.
Su Le stopped immediately, and was afraid that the senior would think they were joking, so he hurriedly explained: "Fang Yang really didn't lie. Every time he said he was panicking, there must be something wrong in the place we were going to."
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Jiang Miao would rather believe this kind of thing.
The three of them stayed in a secluded place halfway up the mountain and did not move. Soon, a convoy drove towards the cave from the winding mountain road below.
There were quite a few vehicles in this group, including about ten motorcycles.
He also had a small mountain jeep. The driver was very skilled and swerved left and right on the narrow mountain road, almost brushing past the body of the jeep and the branches and stone walls.
Su Le let out a long sigh: "If we had gone down like this just now, we would have definitely run into them."
Fang Yang also said: "He doesn't look like someone you would easily mess with."
The two began to prepare to pack their luggage and go down the mountain to go home, but Jiang Miao hid behind a tree with a telescope and looked carefully.
"What did you find, Senior?"
From a distance, Su Le could only see the cars parked in the open space in front of the cave. Due to the thick mountain fog, he couldn't see clearly without a telescope.
Jiang Miao was shocked by what he saw.
She actually saw two completely unfamiliar acquaintances here.
Yuan Yiwei and Jiang Xiang.
At the same time, she also found out who the madman who burned off the escape route of everyone in Room 502 was that Bai Tian mentioned.
How did these two get mixed up?
Ten motorcycles were loaded with supplies. Jiang Miao observed from afar that the entrance to the cave was wide open to welcome people. The people inside came up and actually knelt down to pay homage to Yuan Yiwei!
Ah this!? ?
It was too cold outside, so both sides did not waste time and soon brought all the people and supplies into the cave, leaving only the gatekeeper outside the door.
Since ancient times, maintaining an army has been the most expensive thing.
The soldiers' food, clothing, housing, transportation and weapons for fighting were all invested with real money like flowing water.
With the appearance of the Yuan family, the situation is now very clear.
When doomsday comes, people are wailing everywhere. The Yuan family’s businesses are spread all over China. They lack everything except supplies!
In Ancheng, no one except the Yuan family can provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for hundreds of people on their own.
"Senior?"
Jiang Miao put down the telescope: "The person behind the scenes has arrived."
"Who? The Lord of Heaven?"
"Yes, the eldest son of the richest Yuan family, Yuan Yiwei, the man we met on the fourth floor at the last birthday party."
Su Le subconsciously covered his stomach: "Is that the young man who asked the bodyguard to beat me up?"
"That's right."
"Hiss——" Su Le took a breath of cold air.
The Qinglong Gang, the evil force in Ancheng, has such a large number of troops hiding in the deep mountains and forests. The Yuan family is really determined to rebel!
Su Le was unsure of what the senior was thinking: "Then what about us...?"
"Observe it for a while longer." Jiang Miao sat there and continued to hold up the telescope, feeling that something was not right.
Ancheng's urban economy ranks only fifth or sixth in China, far less than Beijing and S City, which are among the most prosperous international cities.
The Yuan family's power in these places is stronger than Ancheng, so why did they choose this place? Or is it actually far more than this place, just because the eldest young master is here.
Delayed again.
Fortunately, Jiang Miao had brought enough compressed biscuits in his travel bag. The three of them had no conditions to boil hot water, so they just swallowed them dryly and barely filled their stomachs.
At night, everyone took turns to keep watch and observe the situation in the cave with telescopes.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Yuan Yiwei and his men withdrew from the cave. The convoy drove away and everyone knelt on the ground to see them off.
"..." Jiang Miao felt that it was an eye-opener to see this scene in modern society.
The sound of a motorcycle engine could be heard faintly. Su Le rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are they gone?"
"Yes." Jiang Miao put away the telescope: "I will go and check it out. You guys follow behind me and provide support."
The two responded: "Okay!"
Yuan Yiwei, Jiang Xiang.
These two are really interesting.
Jiang Miao followed the mountain road back to the place where he was yesterday. It was a winter morning. The people guarding the door seemed to have been pulled out of the quilt temporarily. They were yawning and dozing off, and they were sitting by the campfire, each one looking more sleepy than the other.
Seeing this, Jiang Miao slowly moved his body, trying to reduce the noise of his movement in the snow, and finally came to a distance of less than 20 meters from the sentry post.
The surroundings were empty and windy, so she just lay there motionless. If the people inside spoke a little louder, Jiang Miao could still hear their conversation.
Near noon, those who had been slacking off on the early morning shift finally woke up, had lunch, and then the afternoon shift came over.
The new group of people started taking a nap and didn't wake up until four or five in the afternoon.
Jiang Miao: “…”
With food and drink, the daily job is to guard the door and sleep. No wonder the Yuan family has so many poor people supporting it.
The sun sets early on a snowy day, and as it gradually darkened, Jiang Miao quietly moved five or six meters towards the sentry room, and finally he could hear the voices inside.
At this time, dinner was being served inside.
Canned braised pork was added with water and roasted on the campfire, the washed potatoes were thrown into the fire, and Jiang Miao even saw a box of oranges in the corner.
So rich.
The aroma of meat and potatoes wafted across the wilderness, and Jiang Miao was so hungry that he quietly took out two potato patties from the space and ate them in silence.
One person sniffed the air: "Fuck, what kind of canned food is it today? Why does it smell so good?"
Someone said: "It hasn't changed, it's still the same brand, is there something added to it? It really smells weird."
Another said, "Potatoes. I think they are small highland potatoes today."
The first person nodded and said, "It's the smell of potatoes. This kind of potatoes is delicious."
"If it weren't so cold and boring outside, I would have been the goalkeeper outside every day just for this meal."
The meat and potatoes were ready, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much. They even took out some wine to have a few drinks.
Wine is also specially provided for the people guarding the gate outside. The weather is cold, so drinking some wine can help keep away the cold.
Dusk has completely fallen, and the people here are eating and drinking their fill, waiting for the night shift to take over.
"Damn it, Wang Jianjie's team is the slowest to come. They don't feel comfortable until they arrive on time. Next time, I must tell the housekeeper not to put us ahead of him again."
"That's right. Let's come here next time."
"Brother Dafei, I need to pee. I can't hold it anymore."
Da Fei was surprised: "It's freezing in this snowy weather, aren't you afraid that your second brother will be frozen?"
Another person also said: "Yes, if we hold on a little longer, we can go back. Let's go to the cave."
"No, no, no, no, I really can't hold it anymore." The man covered his crotch and ran out of the sentry post.
The people inside laughed loudly and made a very vulgar joke that the boy was not afraid of his strong urinary heat and that they would take him to find a woman to relieve his heat tonight.
Jiang Miao was not far away.
The man was obviously embarrassed to let the sound of pee reach their ears. He ran to a farther place and just unbuttoned his pants when Jiang Miao blocked his mouth.
She leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Be honest. I'll ask you a few questions and you nod or shake your head."
Who knew that at this moment, the person who came to take over the shift arrived!
"Carrot head, hurry up, it's time for the shift change!"
So fast?
There was no other way, so Jiang Miao had to knock him out with a knife, then he took off his dirty cotton-padded jacket and wrapped it around himself, quickly took off his hat and put it on his forehead, then trotted over and followed the group of people with his head down, watching them quarrel with Wang Jianjie.
It was cold and dark, and we were all feeling dizzy from a few drinks.
Everyone was anxious to get back to the warm cave and didn't bother to see if there was anything wrong with other people. They only glanced at Carrot Head to make sure he was running back.
"It's too cold, let's go for a walk." The others went in first. Jiang Miaozhu was the last one to go in. Before he even entered the door, he was shocked by the huge hot spring pool that was still emitting white smoke.
The cave is very large, with a height of probably five or six meters. The area just after the entrance is over a hundred square meters. No wonder it can accommodate so many people.
While the quarrel was going on at the door, Jiang Miao, who was at the back, quietly ran away along the wall in the cover of night.
Although she had a chance to sneak in, she didn't want to take the risk. She was unfamiliar with the place and no one would be able to help her. If something really happened, no one would come to save her.
Inside the cave.
There were dozens of shirtless men soaking in the hot spring pool. They rushed over and started to take off their clothes. "I'm freezing cold. Brother Fei, are you going to find Xiang Mei later? Hehe."
"Get lost, who else should I go to if not her? I have to take that kid out to see the world today, where's the little carrot head? Why isn't he here?"
"I don't know. He must have gone to the toilet to pee. Wang Jianjie came right after he left. He probably ran back before he even started peeing."
Da Fei: "You have to pee before you soak in it. Last time, a bastard peed in the hot spring pool and it was so smelly that I couldn't even drink the rice wine."
The matter was successfully uncovered without being discovered.
While Wang Jianjie and his group were still cursing and had not yet reached the sentry post, Jiang Miao picked up Luobotou and carried him on his shoulder, slowly walked out thirty meters, and then walked briskly towards the new stronghold not far away.
Just ask this guy what the situation is inside and you will know.
