Doomsday rat

Chapter 662 Albatross

Towards the end of October, all licenses and passes for the transportation team were issued.Shen Nan once again gathered the leading figures in the safety zone in the Three Rings Entertainment City, and held a lively celebration banquet. Hu Yangguang received more than 10 yuan in red envelopes, which can be said to be enthusiastic.

Hong Tao didn't go to the party this time, and replaced him with Lazy Dog and Xiao Ma.Anyway, it’s nothing serious to go there, it’s all hypocrisy, a good opportunity to eat and drink for nothing and play for nothing, and the brothers have to take turns to feel it.

"Do you think Shen's surname is not so bad? This time, he really wants to help us find a real businessman?" After returning, Hu Yang, who was already a little dizzy from drinking, sneaked into Hong Tao instead of going to bed immediately. In the room, I plan to talk about the issue of human nature.

Hong Tao didn't sleep either. He was lying on a modern hardwood desk, sketching on the map by the light of the erratic oil lamp.The license plate is ready, the horses and carts are ready, and during the period before winter, the transport force of the alliance is also constantly rushing to transport coal, which is a good time for the transport team to go out to get jobs.

But you can't just run out in such a hurry, the way to go is a big problem.Hong Tao is familiar with the city and its surroundings, but not the road conditions at this time.After years of devastation by nature and the ravages of man-made floods, which roads can still be followed and which roads are blocked, we must sharpen our guns.

These days, apart from being a hamster moving day and night, Hong Tao kept dumping all kinds of supplies from the red zone. He also gave Skinny Monkey and Water Snake a task to inquire about the roads around the city in the market and record them in detail. Come down, every few days the fat sheep that pass the door to repair the car are collected in the hands.

What he has to do now is to reflect all the information on the map, whether it is all correct or not, he must know it first.In this way, when picking up the job, you will know whether the road is good or not, and how long the distance is.

"Are you two brothers who have been separated for many years? Or are you good comrades-in-arms who have been soldiers and went to the battlefield? It really doesn't matter if you have been involved in the base... Oh, neither, so why should he be kind to a few refugees who have just arrived? ? There are so many refugees here, you go and ask, has he smiled at anyone more than once?"

Hearing Hu Yang's question, Hong Tao didn't even raise his head, and only asked a few questions that didn't need to be answered at all.Sugar-coated cannonballs are indeed a big killer, and people with good faces and evil hearts are indeed easy to confuse people.After just contacting him twice, Shen Nan almost confused Hu Yang.

"Is there any chance?" Hu Yang still didn't give up, always feeling that Shen Nan showed more kindness than malice.

"...There must be. No one is a god. How can he fully know what others think. But we don't need to guess whether he is kind or malicious. We just need to be vigilant at all times."

"If he is kind, there will be plenty of opportunities to repay him in the future. It doesn't matter if he doesn't, as long as he doesn't harm us, we are still friends. Tomorrow I plan to go to Guomao Bridge first, and you stay at home and be careful."

After marking the last section of the road, Hong Tao put the sketch paper hand-painted by the thin monkey on the oil lamp, lit a cigarette by the way, and didn't argue about who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, the most difficult topic in the world.

"... so soon?" Hu Yang was a little surprised when he heard that the transportation team was leaving tomorrow.

"It's going to be November soon, and the coal here is very expensive. Slender Monkey heard from people in the market that the price of coal in Jinmen is cheaper. I'll go and see if I can find a job to deliver goods to Jinmen. , by the way, bring a few truckloads of coal back." Hong Tao's reason is very good, it's true that it's not all a lie, of course, there are still some reasons that he didn't say.

He has been hiding in the safety zone in the south of the city for more than a month, and he really wants to go out and see the surrounding situation.Now that I have a pass, my heart is itchy like grass growing every day, and I can't wait.

"What's the name of the device you mentioned that can communicate hundreds of kilometers away? Why don't you wait until it's ready?" Hu Yang knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to try to delay in other aspects.

"That thing consumes electricity, and it's not worthwhile to rely on the battery alone. I heard from Shen Nan that I might not be able to connect to the electricity this year, and besides, we don't have that much money. Don't be afraid, this time it's just to explore the road and be familiar with the business. Only take two cars and three people, and let the scalper stay with you to watch the house."

Hu Yang was talking about radio relay equipment. Hong Tao originally planned to build one, but he did find three repeaters in the red zone.But they are all broken, and they need to be disassembled to see if they can replace each other and build one.This is a delicate job that requires a lot of instruments, so there is no condition for now.

In addition, no one has anything to do with the power issue. The alliance has very strict approval for power supply in the safe zone, and this year's quota has been distributed.In this regard, not only Shen Nan was helpless, but even Mrs. Xiushan expressed helplessness.

"If we all go out for sports cars in the future, the house will be empty. Why don't we let the water snake come back, and leave a thin monkey as eyes and ears should be enough." Despite the fact that Populus euphratica is thick and big, it is actually very thoughtful. In addition, he is also very familiar with logistics management.

"Let's keep it. It's easier for two people to deal with things together. There is no need to rush the manpower. When we get familiar with the way and the market situation, we can hire people from the refugees. Anyway, loading, unloading, and shipping , Driving a car is not a very confidential matter, a smarter mind will follow it a few times."

Hong Tao was not too worried about the lack of people in the transport team. Speaking of which, there was a shortage of everything but people, especially those who were willing to work hard.He has already made up his mind to make as many trips as possible before the beginning of spring. First, he is familiar with the road, and second, it is also a trip to thunder.

Use frequent activities to force out possible troubles, and deal with what you can handle. If you can't handle it, close it as soon as possible, so as not to cause the hired refugees to eat melons together.

Anyway, with the secret entrance in the yard, no one can stop me if I want to go out, it's nothing more than a troublesome point.And relying on this secret tunnel, even if there is no income from the transport team, everyone will not suffer from cold and hunger.

In the early morning of November 11st, just as the rooster crowed for the third time, two carriages slowly drove out of the courtyard gate and headed north along the only main road in the fifth safety zone.

There were four people sitting in the carriage, which looked like four shadows of one person only from the outside.They were all wearing dark trench coats with hoods, matching marine boots and green army trousers, and both wore dark glasses.This time it's not exactly the same, but they are all sunglasses.

Needless to say, the albatross transport team, which was just established a few days ago, started its first attempt.Don't get me wrong, Hong Tao really didn't come up with this name, it came from Shen Nan.The guy who always tried to look like a Confucian businessman said that the albatross flies high and far, which has auspicious meaning.

Hu Yang didn't pay much attention to the matter of naming, but after listening to it, he also thought it was very good, so he decided on it.After Hong Tao knew about it, he couldn't change it. Shen Nan had already reported his name to the management office, and the passport had been printed. If he wanted to change his name, he would have to wait at least a year!
But the personnel and equipment for the mission were decided by Hong Tao himself. Lazy Dog, Bungy Pig, Pony and him each wore Russian 6B33 bulletproof vests and 6B27 Kevlar helmets.

It's a pity that there are no ceramic armor pieces in the bulletproof vest package, only steel armor pieces, and the ability to resist rifle armor-piercing bullets at medium and short distances is slightly weaker.

If you want to ask if there will be any trouble if you openly wear military-style body armor and helmets in the alliance safe zone, don't worry, the alliance only restricts the proliferation of standard weapons, and doesn't care about the refugees' protection in any way.

This can also be confirmed from the body of You Sihai. At that time, he and two of his men were wearing the body armor of the South Korean Army.It's a pity that that kind of body armor is mainly used to prevent fragmentation attacks. It is lighter in weight and more comfortable to wear. It has little effect on powerful pistol bullets at close range.

另外洪涛还为连自己在内的四名车夫准备了4支自动步枪、2支霰弹枪、4支手枪、每人150发子弹、2枚手榴弹和两台对讲机。

These weapons and ammunition cannot be carried in the safe zone, but it doesn’t matter, most of the weapons and ammunition have been dug out from the burial site a few days ago, and transferred to two secret locations through the subway tunnel, one is in the staff dormitory of the nearest subway station , a trunk of a car in a garage on the ground floor.

If you can get the transportation job smoothly, it won't be too far to come back.As long as they leave the safe zone, the transportation team can leave as they want, and no one will pay attention to these things outside the arrival time.
