Zhang Huai An's words made Huang Quan's heart skip a beat, but he did not say anything. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and slowly rubbed his chin with his thumb. His brain was working very fast. The reason why the outsiders could easily break into the hot spring base was because they had unintentionally left a blind spot. The hot spring base was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Other than the back mountain, the two mountains on the left and right had been flattened, forming man-made cliffs. These cliffs were a natural moat for the zombies, but for the well-equipped humans, it was a flat road. Usually, they did not pay much attention to it, which was why they were successful.
New Era's attacks and retreats were all done through the cableway at the top of the mountain. His hands were clean, and he did not leave any traces behind. This made him feel anxious about his future safety. He was not afraid of thieves, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about him. Moreover, New Era was not a thief, but a fully armed bandit. It was a crucial time to prepare for the battle, and suddenly someone placed a knife on the back of their waist. No one would feel comfortable.
"Reporting …"
A clear female voice came from outside the door. A female officer with the rank of captain entered the room, holding a piece of paper in her hand. This female officer was the person in charge of the communication room. Huang Quan saw the female officer looking at him, and knew that the report must be urgent, so he nodded and asked her to pass it to him.
The female officer's expression was a bit weird. She covered the piece of paper with her hand, and walked past the people who were looking at her. She walked to Huang Quan's side and carefully passed it to him.
Yomi didn't mind it at all as he took the report. When he saw the words, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He immediately covered the table with the document and turned to look at everyone who was looking at him.
Zhang Huai An was a bit curious, but Huang Quan did not pass it to him. In the midst of his anxiety, Huang Quan spoke, his voice was slightly low, but it had an unquestionable firmness, "I have already contacted the grassland army. Zhang Xiaoqiang's next step is to accept 800,000 survivors, and clear the millions of zombies in the northeast. They can't worry about us for the time being, and the next strategy will depend on us …"
Huang Quan's words did not arouse anyone's suspicions. 800,000 survivors involved too many people, and only Huang Quan and Zhang Huai An knew something about the hot spring base. The rest were all kept in the dark, and it was a small trick to motivate people.
Zhang Huai An knew 800,000 survivors, and carefully took the document and glanced at it. His body stiffened, and his right hand folded the document and put it into his pocket. The moment the document was in his pocket, his heart started to beat faster. According to the document, Zhang Xiaoqiang should have arrived at the hot spring base yesterday. If he had not arrived yet, then it meant that he was in an accident, or he was lost, which was not good.
"Bang …"
Huang Quan slammed on the table, and the loud sound made Zhang Huai An come back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Huang Quan. Huang Quan said angrily, "When we were fighting with the zombies, there were people attacking our base from the back, and caused the casualties of two battalions, and hundreds of logisticians. I have decided to temporarily stop the battle, and transfer the frontline troops to eliminate the threat from behind us …"
Zhang Huai An did not comment on Huang Quan's order. If Zhang Xiaoqiang came back safely, then they would not have to be afraid of New Era making a move on him. With the real leader, everything would be useless. However, if something happened to Zhang Xiaoqiang, then this kid's identity would become complicated. Not only would he be the successor of the hot spring base, but he would also be the successor of the Grassland Army. It should be known that the Grassland Army was still a branch of the hot spring base.
If that was the case, this child represented millions of survivors and hundreds of thousands of armed forces. If something really happened to Zhang Xiao Qiang, there was no guarantee that they would be completely obedient, but at least they would be able to restrain themselves. If there were enough people loyal to Zhang Xiao Qiang, they might even be able to form a unified force. Of course, all of this was under the premise that Zhang Xiao Qiang met with an accident. Based on the current situation, Zhang Xiao Qiang, who lived longer than a cockroach, might jump out from that place and give them a surprise.
"What?
My husband went missing on the way home?
Ah!
How could it be like this! "
Yang Ke-er screamed crazily, but her mouth was covered by Zhang Huai An's old hand. In the next second, it was Zhang Huai An who screamed. Yang Ke-er's little hand grabbed Zhang Huai An's old hand and squeezed. How much strength did Yang Ke-er have?
Zhang Huai An's old arms and legs could not bear it.
"Pa …"
Yuan Yi rushed up and slapped the back of Yang Ke-er's hand. Yang Ke-er couldn't help but let go. She wanted to scream, but she saw that everyone in the room was glaring at her. For the first time, Yang Ke-er felt that she was being ostracized, and she was about to cry.
"Miss Ke Er, are you stupid?
If you scream that Zhang Xiaoqiang is missing, what will the people outside think?
An accident happened just now, and the people haven't been united yet. A strong enemy is spying on us. Do you want to kill everyone? "
Huang Quan's face was dark, and he spoke rudely. Yang Ke-er couldn't hear the news of Zhang Xiaoqiang. Once she heard the name Zhang Xiaoqiang, all kinds of accidents would happen. They wanted to cover up the news of Zhang Xiaoqiang's disappearance before they came to discuss it. Unexpectedly, Yang Ke-er was hysterical at this time and had to scream loudly.
"He's my husband. I can call him whatever I want …"
Yang Ke-er was also scared. She didn't care about Yuan Yi anymore and shouted against Huang Quan. Zhang Huai An held his right hand which was bruised. He wanted to interrupt, but he was afraid that Yang Ke-er would do the same to him again, so he just pretended to be mute and kept winking at Yuan Yi.
"Yes, go ahead. Let everyone know that something happened to Zhang Xiaoqiang, and then the people who attacked us will appear again. They will kidnap Zhang Xiaoqiang's children and order us to obey their orders. Or they will inject slow-acting poison into each of us. If we don't obey, we will die. Then the power that Zhang Xiaoqiang built will belong to someone else. When Zhang Xiaoqiang comes home, he will find that his son calls someone else dad, right?"
Huang Quan's words were very vicious, which made Yang Ke-er mad with anger. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and it seemed that she was about to explode. Huang Quan didn't let Yang Ke-er go and continued, "Do you want to say that those people can't succeed as long as you are here?
You think too highly of yourself. Last time, they could make you sleep for three days. Next time, they may make you sleep for 30 days. Do you want to kill enemies in your sleep? "
Yang Ke-er finally stopped talking. She sat on the chair angrily and ignored everyone. Mu Peipei had been sitting in the corner, holding her son and patting him gently. It seemed that she was not very interested in the disappearance of Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Before the child was born, half of Mu Peipei's mind was thinking about Zhang Xiaoqiang, and the other half was thinking about the child in her belly. After the child was born, all her mind was occupied by the child, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had become a symbol in her heart.
Shanghai Qiaoyun didn't show the excitement of Yang Ke-er. In the past ten months, Zhang Xiaoqiang's image had gradually become vague in her mind. However, what Zhang Xiaoqiang had done on the grassland made her proud. In her mind, her man should be the kind of hero who could shake the world. She knew every detail of Zhang Xiaoqiang's rise from scratch on the grassland very well, because she had put together all the things that Zhang Xiaoqiang had sent back. Through her own deliberation, she deduced everything that Zhang Xiaoqiang had done on the grassland, including the two women who were ambiguous with Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Therefore, Shanghai Qiaoyun wasn't in a hurry at all. She believed that Zhang Xiaoqiang, who could rule hundreds of thousands of people and recover hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in ten months, would not get into trouble so easily. Maybe he would suddenly appear with more troops one day.
Yuan Yi was not as confident as Shanghai Qiaoyun. She had always been concerned about Zhang Xiaoqiang. Since she officially became Zhang Xiaoqiang's woman, her heart had been tied to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Except for Zhang Xiaoqiang, she couldn't even feel herself. The days when Zhang Xiaoqiang was away were the most difficult days for her. If it weren't for the two French girls, Jiang Ke and Jiang Yi, who accompanied her, she didn't know how thin she would be.
The news of Zhang Xiaoqiang's disappearance was only known to them and the communications room. The higher-ups of the grassland army also knew about it, so it couldn't be kept a secret. How could they not know that Yun Peng hadn't returned to Helan Canyon?
However, both sides had tacitly issued a gag order at the same time. At present, it seemed that Zhang Xiaoqiang had already arranged the strategies for both sides. As long as they followed the plan, there shouldn't be any accidents. At the same time, it was a warning to the grassland army that New Era was not as simple as they thought …
