Chapter 348: Joining Forces
It is not just the rank-and-file soldiers who are nervous about the future. Everyone in the Internal Security Detachment, including the detachment commander Zhao Lei himself, has an unclear view of the future.
Because from the moment the Inner Guards chose and entered the night gathering place, they had lost the power to decide their own destiny.
Or, in other words, from the moment when the old captain of the Internal Security Division Liang Yuming committed suicide, the sails of the Internal Security ship had collapsed, and the only way forward was to go with the flow...
If it hadn't been caught in time by the night gathering place, it might have hit a reef at some point and sank quietly...
The waters of the end times are too deep for a lost inner guard to wander around in....
Choosing to follow is its only way out!
As the convoy moved forward, the surroundings quickly became familiar.
Zhao Lei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, soon saw a familiar scene: a large number of survivors were lying on the road, using the sky as blankets and the ground as beds.
Of course, this is just the bold group who are taking advantage of the weather while it is not too cold. Most of the survivors are wrapped in quilts.
The section of Xishui North Road near Yeda Road was turned into a large bunk bed by the survivors.
About to arrive!
Zhao Lei subconsciously took a deep breath and cheered himself up.
At this moment, he suddenly missed Lu Chong...
If Lu Chong, an acquaintance of mine, were here, I would be able to get some information in advance...
After I submitted my request for return last night, the agency’s reply came very quickly and briefly, with only four words:
"Approve application"
The quick response seems to be a welcome sign, but without saying much, it seems like they don’t care that much...
Zhao Lei's mood from last night till now is like that of a young girl who is toyed with and repeatedly pulled by a scumbag. It is like hundreds of deer are hacking at each other in their hearts with machetes!
He cares about me...He doesn't care about me...He cares about me....He doesn't care about me...He cares about me...
zizi
The intercoms of various internal security units rang at the same time, and Zhao Lei's excited voice was heard from them.
"It's almost time. All squadron leaders should pay attention to controlling the troops and dress properly! Leave a good impression on the commander. Don't let him think that our internal security equipment and personnel quality are not good enough!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
.....
After issuing this order, Zhao Lei's anxious mood eased a little...
Perhaps he himself had never noticed that every time when comparing with the night university gathering place, he would always unconsciously bring up the equipment issue.
Just like Song Lian who wrote "Preface to Sending Off Ma Sheng of Dongyang", he said "I have no desire to admire beauty, I am content with what I have, I don't know that I am not as well-fed as others."
But in fact, even though decades have passed, he can still clearly recall every detail of his childhood classmate's outfit...
People will eventually be trapped in their lives by the things they could not get when they were young...
Zhao Lei and his group of internal security personnel will always remember the blood and tears they shed due to their outdated equipment.
.....
Under Zhao Lei's command, the security soldiers in the truck quickly cheered up, swept away their previous dejection, and tried hard to hide their uneasiness deep in their hearts.
As the leading SX2306 military transport vehicle turned into the crowded Yeda Road, the internal security soldiers temporarily put aside their worries and carefully raised their heads to look at both sides of the road.
The wall! What a high wall, at least five or six stories high! Just looking at it from the outside gives me a sense of security!
In addition, there are a large number of survivors...
But it doesn't matter, there were far more survivors in the Wanfu gathering place than what is here now...
Thinking of this, many inner guards subconsciously chose to avoid looking...
The survivors of the Wanfu gathering place...
It is their greatest pain in the end of the world...
......
While they were looking at the survivors, the survivors were also looking at them.
Compared with the mysterious Gu Chengyuan troops, the uniforms of the inner guards are undoubtedly more recognizable among ordinary people.
"Internal Guard?!"
"The inner guards are coming?"
Someone in the crowd said in surprise.
"Fuck, the inner guard is still alive???"
"Which internal guard is this?"
The survivors shouted in surprise, looking towards the inner guards with eyes full of curiosity, but mostly joy.
The experience of the end of the world has made them understand what is precious. As the military strength of the gathering place increases, their safety will be better guaranteed.
Just as the security soldiers and ordinary survivors on the SX2306 transport vehicle were observing each other, a series of "crackling" noises suddenly came from the front!
Pa pa pa pa pa pa~~
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap~~
........
A string of firecrackers with thousands of bangs was lit and thrown in front of the north gate. Sparks flew everywhere, and the festive red shells of the firecrackers exploded and flew around like butterflies!
The blue-gray smoke flowed with the air, spreading from the north gate along Yeda Road towards Xishui North Road.
The smoke swept across the group of survivors sitting on the ground and across the convoy slowly heading towards the north gate. The people and cars at the scene were immersed in this festive atmosphere.
"New Year's flavor?"
“The New Year also smells like this, the streets and alleys are filled with this smell!”
Among the confused survivors, some were suddenly reminded of the memories before the apocalypse. For a moment, they couldn't stop crying, and they couldn't wipe away their tears...
It turns out that it’s not that the New Year’s atmosphere is fading, but that it’s been dispersed by my own expanding desires…
Just like now, just smelling the smell of firecrackers, I feel like it’s Chinese New Year already…
At that time, it was just normal...
.....
Beep beep!
Dongdadongdadong! Dongdadongdadong! Dongdadongdadongdadongdadong! Da-la-da-da-da-dong!
Dongdadongdadong! Dongdadongdadong! Dongdadongdadongdadongda! Daladaladongdadong!
.....
The neatly-lined band outside the north gate began to play music, first two rounds of welcoming songs, and then two rounds of interludes!
Boom, boom, boom, boom! Da-la-da-da-da!
Boom, boom, boom, boom! Dala, dala, dala!
After the interlude ends, the welcome song plays again, and the cycle repeats itself!
In an instant, the entire North Gate was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags waving, and crowds of people!
Sitting in the truck bed, the soldiers of the Internal Security Brigade were all stunned...
There were exploding firecrackers, playing music, survivors lining the streets to welcome them, and a huge banner blowing loudly in the wind with the words "Welcome Home, Neiwei!" inscribed on it!
All of this is to open their arms to this lost inner guard, telling them that they will not be raised by a stepmother, and the night university gathering place will treat their loyalty with 200% enthusiasm!
The achievements of the Internal Guards will never be forgotten by the Yeda gathering place, and even less by all the survivors!
Bang bang bang~
Suddenly, someone in the crowd of survivors started clapping first, and then applause started to spread from one point to the other, and soon the whole Yeda Road turned into a sea of enthusiasm.
Pa pa pa pa pa~
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa~
.......
"Welcome home, Neiwei!"
"Welcome home Neiwei!!!"
“Wuhu~~”
.......
Amid the welcoming parade of thousands of survivors
The leading SX2306 military transport vehicle drove to the north gate and when it turned left to enter the inner road of the night school gathering place, the sharp-eyed Zhao Lei saw Gu Chengyuan with a smile on his face, applauding with the crowd.
"Stop the car!"
After asking the driver to stop the car, Zhao Lei opened the door and jumped out of the passenger seat, jogging towards Gu Chengyuan.
Stand still for three steps, and finally lean on your legs with a loud and powerful "snap"!
"Hello, Chief!"
Zhao Lei stopped and saluted, looking at Gu Chengyuan with determination in his eyes.
"Comrade Zhao Lei, you have worked hard!" Gu Chengyuan restrained his smile and returned the greeting seriously.
"On behalf of the military and civilians of the gathering place, I welcome Comrade Zhao Lei to lead the internal security forces to join the Yeda gathering place and build human civilization together!!"
After saying this, Gu Chengyuan stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Zhao Lei!
At this point, the night university gathering place and the internal security forces successfully joined forces!
......
It can be predicted that with the addition of the internal security forces, Gu Chengyuan's position will also usher in new changes...
Because this is not just a matter of adding an additional armed force, but it also means the success of Gu Chengyuan's plan to revive the dead!
Now that the corpse of the inner guard has been successfully borrowed, the next step is to aim for the official identity!
