Hu Dan looked up at her, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth: "There is the largest reservoir in Xinghua City, so you don't have to worry about running out of water for bathing." The shower room is at the end of the second floor, the men’s shower room is on the left, and the women’s shower room is on the right, but because the workers and guards are very few women, there are only two, and it’s best for you to stagger your showers.

    ” Ru Ning also got up and went back to take a shower first. Although I took a bath at noon, it was a whole bath, and after the afternoon, I also sweated a lot. The only trouble was that she had no new change of clothes until she washed the dirty clothes she had changed at noon.

    Xin Ting took a look at her dirty clothes, and quickly got up to follow Lian Runing: "I'll go back and take a shower first."

    "Aren't you going back together?" Peng Mao asked Hao Jian.

    "They each have a shower room, and I can only wait in the room when I go back. There is no fan in the room, it is too stuffy, I plan to go out for a walk to digest food."

    Hu Dan wiped his mouth after drinking the last mouthful of porridge: " Do you want me to show you around?"

    "It would be best if Mr. Hu is free." The

    two got up, and Peng Mao also got up: "I want to see it too. I haven't seen the reservoir since I came here. The whole picture!"

    Hu Dan didn't object, and Hao Jian didn't even find an excuse to dismiss him. The three left the cafeteria and walked to the factory building behind the dam.

Chapter 54

    The factory building was brightly lit, and there were a few lights outside the door, and two forklifts, trucks, and various items parked outside could be seen.

    There are four motor units visible to the naked eye in the factory building, but only one is currently in operation, and more than a dozen workers are operating equipment, or checking and repairing engines.

    "Is there only one unit operating all day?" Hao Jian asked.

    "How is it possible? The power of this unit is 15,000 watts, which is 15,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. How many people do you think this huge Xinghua City can live in? Four units are required to operate at the same time during the day, and at night because Everyone needs to rest, so three machines are stopped for maintenance, and only one is running, which can only supply power to some areas."

    "Is only the hydropower station still generating electricity?" Hao Jian asked again.

    Hu Dan shook his head: "I heard that there are still power plants in some areas that are not within the power transmission range of the Heshui Hydropower Station, but they are not like us, and they generate electricity for free. The relevant power plant workers have occupied the power plant and want to use it You have to pay for the electricity."

    Peng Mao had already finished eating the steamed buns, and he was a little indignant: "This kind of robbery will be punished by the sky sooner or later!"

    "You can believe this kind of 'receive it yourself'." Hao Jian Hit him mercilessly.

    Hu Dan asked back: "Miss Hao, does it mean that no one can take care of them?"

    Hao Jian pondered for a moment: "Just like a problem that your escort team needs to solve urgently at present, it is the lack of manpower. The number of guards is too small, and because of zombies Viruses, rebels, cult forces and other reasons have damaged many people. Usually, there are many places that you can’t take care of, let alone the current chaotic situation. So in the short term, your Your strength is limited. At least those who take advantage of the fire will not wait for you to deal with them.”

    Although the official quickly issued an order to deploy rescue work, after all, their primary task is to maintain basic stability and rescue the population. For some illegal and criminal acts, their ability to fight is limited.

    Many people and forces will take advantage of this period to create chaos, such as the "No Blame" organization. Only when the internal stability of the violent organization is stabilized, can the government formulate new countermeasures and concentrate its efforts on maintaining stability while seeking recovery and development.

    So before that, all order in the world will be chaotic, and violent incidents, vicious incidents, etc. will take turns.

    The workers who occupy the power plant and ask for benefits before they use the electricity may be killed by people or organizations more capable than them, because those are all naked interests, and it will attract more people to fight for it It's up to you.

    Especially when they find that violent agencies have not punished them, their desires and ambitions will expand to the point of ignoring and trampling the law, turning this zombie apocalypse into a man-made apocalypse.

    "Are you too pessimistic?" Peng Mao said.

    "Optimism and pessimism depend on how you look at the world. If you look at the overall situation, every city has forces like the Guards that come out to protect us, and there are good people who help each other with kind hearts, and even spontaneously organized to survive. It is still hopeful to be saved, and it is developing in a good way.”

    “Like killing people for food, feeling that there is no legal restriction, you can rape women at will, controlling for profit or the desire to gain fame and wealth Resources... All kinds of behaviors can happen in peaceful times, but the end times just increase such incidents."

    Hu Dan applauded: "Miss Hao really deserves to be a student of anthropology, and she sees these things better than most people. People need to be thorough." The

    fact that Hao Jian is studying "anthropology" was only mentioned by Lian Runing just now, and Hu Dan said it so naturally, so Hao Jian didn't know whether he was short-sighted or intentional. But after thinking about it, it is more likely to be intentional.

    "Many people understand it, and they also know that they have no ability to be the person who controls the fate of others, so they choose to submit. Are the asylum seekers incited at the airport because of ignorance? Not necessarily, quite a few of them have given up the right to choose They will choose to submit to the victorious side, and live in humility.”

    "We can protect them, but those people will only treat them as ants. But they chose to treat them as ants." Hu Dan grinned, his expression slightly mocking.

    "I think it never occurred to them in the first place that the safety line provided by the escort would collapse because of their riots, because the authorities quickly and forcefully organized their protection, making them lose their sense of the immediate danger. After they realize the mistakes they made, they don’t have the courage to make up for them, and they will eventually succumb to the people who enslaved them.”

    Hu Dan’s expression became cold: “Such people don’t deserve our Protection." Suddenly, he turned his head to Hao Jian and said with a smile, "Although I really want to say this, I can't be sorry for this uniform, and I can't violate the oath I read under the team flag and team badge."

    Peng Mao felt that he was gradually unable to keep up with their thinking and couldn't get in the conversation, so he said, "I'm done digesting, so I'll go back and rest first."

    Hao Jian and Hu Dan didn't care much about whether he left, because Peng Mao hadn't There is nothing to doubt.

    Moreover, the topic they talked about involved the official attitude towards ordinary people who are "innocent" or even abettors. If Peng Mao is abnormal, he will definitely find a way to steal more, instead of going back like he is now.

    ____

    But as soon as he left, Hao Jian and Hu Dan had more topics to talk about.

    "There shouldn't be only these guards here, right?" Hao Jian glanced over the people within sight.

    "If you ask that, you're not worried that I think you're here to spy on the situation?" Hu Dan asked back.

    "If Chief Hu wants to think so, there is nothing I can do here. But I can't stop asking because you doubt me because of taboo, after all, it's related to my plan."

    Hu Dan became interested: "I see that your statements are quite consistent, saying that you are going to Nanfang City. Among them, the female student is looking for relatives, and the fitness trainer is following you to find a way out because he has no relatives. That graduate is also because he thinks you are reliable, and he is afraid that a person will be bullied in the last days... What about you? Is there any reason why you should take the risk to Nanfang City?"

    "For my beloved girl, isn't Mr. Hu always listening ? Are you there yet?"

    "..." Even Hu Dan, who was as scheming as Hu Dan, was choked by her shamelessness.

    Also "beloved girl", do you think you are singing a love song?

    "Tsk, if you can know that there are surveillance and bugs in the room without checking, no one will believe you if you are not a scout.

    " , the vigilance will be greatly reduced, and the other party will randomly arrange the rooms, and most people will subconsciously feel that there is no problem with this room. But in fact, although the room is chosen by us freely, it is guided When

    Hao Jian first passed the corridor on the second floor, he found that some sundries were placed at the door of some rooms, or clothes were hanging to dry. After seeing these things, everyone will subconsciously think that there are people living here, so they avoid choosing these rooms.

    In addition, the room they lived in was empty, except for a bed, there was only a table and a chair. Anyone would feel that no one lived in it, so they chose this place.

    "Since there are only less than two adults left, how can there be so many rooms with people? So since you led us to those rooms, there must be some equipment in them."

    Hu Dan couldn't help it. Applauded: "Ordinary people don't count how many rooms are occupied by people. How wary are you to even notice these details?"

    "I played too many decryption games, and subconsciously substituted them." Hao Jian said.

    "Game?" Hu Dan grinned, "But this is not a game place. We have already suffered a loss once, and we can no longer let people think that this place can be easily breached."

    Hao Jian pondered for a moment: "Those guards at the airport retreat. Did you come here to join you?"

    "How much do you know?"

    "What I know is only dictated by others, after all, we only came to Xinghua City today."

    "Your companions are all frank about this. Then you can tell me, why did you want to come to the hydropower station?"

    Hao Jian and Hu Dan had already left the factory building, standing on the aisle just a wall away from the flood discharge section, and behind them were busy people. In front of them was a mottled wall.

    The lights in the distance elongated their figures, and they leaned on the railing, watching the gurgling water flowing underground.

    "Because I want to check some things... I don't want to get involved in the matter of the guards originally, but since I already know the harm of 'No Blame', I can avoid these troubles in the next journey, so I have to understand what dangers are around me."

    "Unfortunately, we have just come here, and we were targeted by them. My ability is limited, and the only way I can think of to get out may be you, so take the risk Come to find out the news."

    Of course, there is another reason that cannot be disclosed. She wants to come here to see if any hidden missions will be triggered.

    Hu Dan asked: "Then why do you think that I will let you get this information? You know, the more you know, the more dangerous it will be to face 'Wugui'."

    Hao Jian thought for a while and asked The question she really wanted to know when she came here was: "Is there a traitor in your senior management?"

    Hu Dan was silent, and he took out the cigarette again, this time he really lit one.

    After puffing and puffing for a while, he said: "I was not allowed to smoke when I was in the camp, and I finally quit. Recently, I was forced to smoke again because of these things."

    Glancing at Hao Jian, "You should know, it's normal Under the circumstances, I can't let people like you go easily, because once you are exposed, you will not only bring danger to yourself, but also threaten our escort."

    Hu Dan's words confirmed that there was indeed a traitor in their high-level, and at the same time he He also made an exception and explained to Hao Jian the current problems in the government, the guards and even various institutions.

    Their escort team suspected that someone had eavesdropped on their action arrangements after the team members who delivered the food lost contact, but at first they didn't think about their own side, and then they reported several times about the "no blame" actions they detected but did not convey When they got up, they realized something was wrong.

    Originally, the higher-ups ordered them to go to the airport for rescue, but after thinking about it, he contacted the commander of the airport guard without telling his superiors, and made a plan to quickly evacuate to the hydropower station.

    It was only after the airport fell that they confirmed that there were indeed traitors in their superiors, and that there had been a shift in power. The fall of the airport may be the result of their fighting each other.

    Hao Jian also suddenly figured out why "Wu Jiu" could grow rapidly in a short period of time, presumably someone used it as a tool to seize power and remove obstacles that hindered them.

    "They actually brought the idea of ​​'the United States secretly supporting terrorists for the sake of hegemony' here, they are crazy about power, these people." Hao Jian shook his head, "Have you found out who they are?

    " Such a complicated matter cannot be managed by us grassroots, but now we have changed the communication password and encrypted the frequency band, so it is not so easy to eavesdrop."

    How did they contact each other, and how did they ensure that they did not The traitor will pass on the news again, which is beyond the scope of Hao Jian's knowledge.

    ____

    "So besides you and me, no third person can know about this matter, otherwise, once we appear in the official field of vision, we will be easily exposed to 'no blame'. For us who act alone, Without a better self-defense ability, there is only danger waiting for us... Is that what you mean?"

    Lian Runing calmly analyzed after hearing the information from Hao Jian.

    "That's right."

    Lian Runing asked again: "Then why did you tell me?" I

    also met halfway, why did Hao Jian trust her so much? She didn't think it was because Hao Jian liked her, so she trusted her for such a simple reason. Besides, she was not sure that Hao Jian liked her.

    "I hope you know these things, and I hope you don't. You're the safest when you don't know anything. But we've stepped into this quagmire together, and if the information isn't shared, it's only for you." The most dangerous."

    Lian Runing sighed, sure enough, this was the answer that best suited Hao Jian's way of thinking, what was she expecting? !

    "Of course, there is another reason. I trust Junior Sister and think that Junior Sister has enough brains to find ways to avoid danger."

    Lian Runing pursed her lips, looked at Hao Jian's smiling face, and asked, "What about you?" ? Knowing these things, what price do you have to pay?"

Chapter 55

    Even if Hao Jian has gained Hu Dan's trust, she is just an ordinary person after all, so what qualifications can Hu Dan tell her this information?

    Hao Jian was so stared at by her, he scratched his chin for a while, and then took out a badge from the strap that was tied to the gun. This badge is not big, just a little bigger than the national emblem. Lemon had never seen it before, but there was a string of numbers on the back.

    "Special Response Team, temporary establishment, that is, temporary workers of the escort team." The

    string of numbers is actually the key of the communication, and it is also a code for her own people to confirm her identity. As for this "Special Response Team", it is actually a team that the high-level guards secretly asked the guards to set up to carry out secret missions after they realized that there were traitors among them.

    It does not require those who join to have the ability to enter the sky, nor does it require them to perform a single task. For some tasks that their regular team members cannot perform, they will also find temporary workers, such as Hao Jian.

    Although Hu Dan didn't give her the task, once she met the escort belonging to this "special response team" and was asked to perform the task, she couldn't refuse.

    Lian Runing guessed that Hao Jian came to the hydropower station for another purpose, but he did not expect that it was to inquire about the official situation. Without further questioning, he returned the badge to her, and said: "Then you have to hide it well, and don't let 'no blame' people see it."

    "Young junior sister doesn't care, why can Chief Hu trust me?"

    " If it is true that the guards have realized that there are traitors among their superiors and adopted a new method of communication, it means that they have reconnected with the neighboring city. It’s not difficult to get news from you and me.”

    Hao Jian seemed in a good mood, although Yi Gao still had doubts about her letter, but he didn’t tell Hu Dan that “arthropods have instincts for zombie viruses.” avoidance" was learned from her.

    She thought that Yi Gao probably also knew about the unstable factors lurking in the official forces, and for the sake of her safety, she didn't disclose them.

    "Then what's the situation outside now?" Lian Runing didn't forget their primary purpose of coming here.

    "At present, it can be confirmed that what happened at the airport refuge base was indeed written by 'Wugui', because the guards have adjusted their communication methods and activity policies, so 'Wugui' can't currently cause the next disaster against the guards."

    " 'Wugui' also knew that the hydropower station was the territory of the guards. During the period, many people were sent here pretending to be survivors, but they were all found out and killed. In addition, the guards who retreated from the airport refuge base in time were also carrying out the task of clearing and suppressing the water. In the town area, there is no sign of 'Wugui'."

    "The primary task of the escort team is not to search and rescue survivors, but to provide water and electricity as much as possible. In addition, through the evacuation broadcast broadcast by the official organization, temporarily stabilize the surviving people, and wait for the higher-ups to adjust the strategy before carrying out the rescue. After listening to Hao Jian 's words,

    Lian Runing pondered for a moment before asking, "Then how do we get out of here?"

    Hao Jian
