Yuri flew the helicopter to the airspace above the SY-5838 base. The soldiers and support staff rushed out of their houses and stood at the entrance, pointing at the helicopter. The patrolling soldiers gathered at the large parking apron in the center of the village. Two burly men pushed oil drums, preparing to refuel the helicopter. A few trolleys with maintenance tools were also pushed out from the tents.
Yuri and Zhang Xiaoqiang could see the bustling scene below. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked curiously at the busy crowd. He did not expect the base to be so big. He even identified the short-range missiles on the hilltop and memorized them one by one. At the same time, he was impressed with the location of the base. In this mountainous area, no zombies would be able to charge in.
When the plane stabilized and the propellers stopped rotating, Zhang Xiao Qiang jumped to the ground first. As soon as he landed, he saw more than a dozen officers who came to welcome them staring at him blankly. The military uniforms of these officers were not the uniforms of the main force of the new era. The style and rank of the military uniforms were the style of the People's Liberation Army before the doomsday. It was totally different from the Silver Flower military uniform on Zhang Xiao Qiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang carried his backpack and gun and walked over. He stood ten meters away from the officers and scanned their faces. Just as he was about to speak, the fat officer at the front took a step forward and bowed to Zhang Xiaoqiang with a face full of smiles. He said, "Welcome, Priest, to the SY-5838 base. I'm Jiang Xiancheng, the commander of the SY-5838 base. Standing behind me are the people in charge of the various areas of the base. We welcome you with all our hearts …"
Jiang Xiancheng's words caused Zhang Xiaoqiang to swallow his words. He wanted to say that he had occupied the base and that everyone had to disarm themselves. He did not expect them to treat him as one of the higher-ups of the New Era.
With Zhang Xiaoqiang, the fake Priest, Yuri, the fake Kou Gen, became insignificant. Yuri did not make a sound and only stood behind Zhang Xiaoqiang as they were led to the best house in the area.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang and the rest entered the house, Luo Dazuo and the rest also returned to the parking apron. Compared to the excitement of the other two, Luo Dazuo stared coldly at the sinister black armor of the helicopter. His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Yuri were the first to enjoy a wonderful hot bath. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the bathtub, felt drowsy. Ever since he left the grasslands, he had not taken a hot bath in a long time. Usually, he would just use cold water to clean himself up. Only when he took a bath again did he realize the benefits of hot water.
A pair of delicate hands gently and forcefully rubbed his back with a bath towel. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was lying on the bathtub, moaned comfortably. When the woman who was rubbing his back heard his moans, she bent down and opened her mouth to suck on Zhang Xiaoqiang's ear. She used her tongue to drill into his earlobe. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that something was wrong. It seemed like the woman's actions had exceeded the scope of a bath.
"Alright, you can go out. I want to lie down for a while. Add some more hot water," said Zhang Xiaoqiang. He did not know the rules of bathing and thought that this was an original event. He calmly accepted the woman's service. The woman got up and left, causing him to feel a little disappointed and frustrated. Not long after, the woman returned and kissed his back. The woman held hot water in her mouth and slowly slid her tongue down his back. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that something was wrong. It seemed like the woman's actions had exceeded the scope of a bath.
"Alright, you can go out. I want to lie down for a while. Add some more hot water."
Zhang Xiaoqiang dismissed the pure looking woman behind him and turned over to lie down in the bathtub. He did not like such a woman. Besides, he needed to preserve his strength and energy in preparation for a fall out in the next moment.
This woman in her early twenties did not panic or beg. She nodded, turned around, and walked out silently. Not long after, she came back with a kettle of hot water.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang soaked in 3-5 kettles of hot water and scrubbed off all the dirt on his body, he walked out of the room refreshed. He saw Urey in a bathrobe standing in front of his door with shifty eyes. Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang coming out, he immediately revealed a smile that only men could understand and made a posture of erecting his hips. Obviously, this old Russian would not be as honest as Zhang Xiaoqiang. He had done everything that should be done and shouldn't be done.
After taking a bath, the banquet was almost ready. In the spacious dining hall, Jiang Xiancheng and 7 military officers accompanied Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang was still in his Silver Flower military uniform, while Urey had changed into a new era Air Force regular uniform. The two of them sat among a group of green military uniforms like cranes among chickens.
When Urey saw the dishes on the table, his eyes almost popped out. The dishes on the table were unusually rich. There were fish, meat, and a pot of milky white hot soup.
"Priest, don't be so polite. These are all local products that are not worth mentioning. The fish was fished from the pool at the foot of the mountain. It's rare that the meat is so delicate that it melts in the mouth. Also, this pheasant is actually a sparrow. I don't know how it grew so big …"
Jiang Xiancheng enthusiastically introduced the dishes on the table to Zhang Xiaoqiang with a proud face. 80% of the dishes on the table were meat dishes. Even the vegetarian dishes were carefully prepared. Let alone in the apocalypse, even in his previous life, the dishes here were not shameful.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the dishes coldly and sighed in his heart. A pregnant woman in Vladivostok was still eating moldy bread. An ordinary supply base of the New Era could take out such rich ingredients. This proved the strength of the New Era from another angle. Urey, who was sitting beside him, could not wait to pick up a piece of braised meat and put it in his mouth. He gave a thumbs up and praised in Russian.
Jiang Xiancheng had been secretly observing their expressions since the two of them sat on the table. Urey's starving appearance made him proud, but Zhang Xiaoqiang's indifference towards the dishes made him feel guilty. It was obvious that this was not the first time Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen this kind of dishes. It was obvious that he could not arouse his interest, which made Jiang Xiancheng feel guilty about what he said later.
"It's a little crude, please don't mind it. How should I address you, priest?"
Urey was the only one eating and drinking. The others did not move their chopsticks. Eight pairs of eyes were staring at Zhang Xiaoqiang, waiting for his answer. Zhang Xiaoqiang raised the wine glass in front of him and glanced at everyone. He drank it in one gulp and said three words, "Unicorn …"
The people sitting at the table saw the symbol on Zhang Xiaoqiang's chest. Zhang Xiaoqiang accidentally said the title of the owner of the military uniform was You Yinhua. But this was not what Jiang Xiancheng and the others wanted. They wanted to establish a relationship with Zhang Xiaoqiang and get out of this damn supply base.
"This … Haha, let's eat, let's eat …"
Jiang Xiancheng laughed it off, and was the first to pick up his chopsticks. The rest of the officers quickly followed suit, eating and drinking, though they kept glancing at Zhang Xiao Qiang from time to time. Zhang Xiao Qiang's expression was unperturbed, his expression neither cold nor hot, and his eating and drinking were very appropriate. He did not seem to be satisfied with the food, nor did he seem to be dissatisfied. This caused Jiang Xiancheng and the rest, who had been painstakingly preparing a feast, to feel conflicted.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoqiang had been thinking at a high speed. From the moment he got off the plane, he had been ready to turn hostile. Even when he was taking a bath, the Rat King Blade was still hidden in the water. Once something went wrong, he would kill all the officers and control the soldiers and logistics personnel below. The place New Era chose was too good. The danger outside couldn't come in, and the danger inside couldn't run out.
As long as this stronghold was destroyed, Zhang Xiaoqiang would be able to lay a nail here. With the helicopter as a means of transportation, he would be able to firmly control this place. However, it seemed that this group of officers from New Era didn't know about the destruction of the Seventh Division. They were very attentive to them, as if they wanted something from Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the group of officers in front of him coldly. He repeatedly calculated in his mind and decided to make the last test. If his identity was not exposed, it was equivalent to laying a nail inside New Era.
"I came from Vladivostok, so I'm not very familiar with the inland of China. Tell me, what's the latest news?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang put down his chopsticks and leaned against the back of the chair with ease. He stared at Jiang Xiancheng's eyes. When he put down his chopsticks, the others almost put down their chopsticks at the same time and sat up straight. This made Zhang Xiaoqiang have a more intuitive understanding of the military uniform he was wearing.
"Err, I don't know which direction the priest is asking. The signal we can receive here is limited. The satellite phone has been out of contact with the higher-ups since last week. Now we can be considered as an isolated island, and we don't know much about the outside world."
Jiang Xiancheng said with a troubled expression. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but he really didn't know. Their supply point was only a second-line supply point. Usually, no one would pay attention to it. Sometimes, the higher-ups would call to ask about it after ten days or half a month. Most of the time, they were forgotten and ignored. Otherwise, whether it was officers or soldiers, everyone would want to leave this place. The days of guarding here were too hard to bear.
"I need any information you know. The situation in Vladivostok isn't very good. I'm here to ask for help. If your information is useful, I'll remember you, and you'll get the reward you deserve …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang said arrogantly in a superior tone. As if to prove his words, Urey, who was beside him, finished the plate in front of him. He stood up and moved the dishes in front of Jiang Xiancheng to himself. Then, he buried his head in the food. It seemed that he was not much better than the refugees.
