"There can't be any accidents, he will definitely be fine. I want to go down and take a look, I want to see with my own eyes where he stopped …" Zhuo Ming Yue's cold words interrupted Fu Shanlin's deduction. Even someone as valiant as Zhuo Ming Yue would lose her rationality and become unreasonable when she fell into an emotional entanglement. Fu Shanlin laughed awkwardly, he did not know how to retort. It was just his conjecture, and he could not help but look at Huang Tingwei. Only Huang Tingwei could make the decisions on the frigate. Following that, Zhuo Ming Yue's eyes pierced towards Huang Tingwei, as though she would flip out if he did not listen to her. Huang Tingwei could not help but look at the dumbfounded survivors on the ground, and nodded: "Perhaps the survivors here know something?"
The frigate's descending momentum was unforgettable to any human who had seen it before. If it were not for the fact that the Chinese present were all highly educated people, and if it were the commoners of the ancient mountainous regions, they would have knelt down and kowtowed to this miracle. There was no loud noise from the landing of a plane, and the mighty and huge body did not make any noise. It quietly and elegantly descended, and when it reached the top of the trees, it sank down without hesitation, instantly crushing hundreds and thousands of trees. Patches of trees disappeared under the pressure of the frigate, and the sound of branches breaking rang out incessantly. The splinters of wood flew everywhere, and by the time there was a loud sound, the ground beneath everyone's feet was shaking.
The frigate's intentions were unknown, and it had landed about 100m away from them. Standing there, they felt as though they were tiny ants, and looking at the huge frigate, they could not even move their bodies. They could not help but wait for the unknown. Not long after, a group of Agility-based Evolvers in black armor leaped from the treetops like locusts, and in the blink of an eye, they had crossed the gaps around them and formed a huge net. Following that, trees fell one after another, and strength-based Evolvers wielding sawtooth blades appeared, surrounding them like ferocious beasts. Following that, dozens of soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying Type-95 rifles walked out from behind the strength-based Evolvers, forming a tight encirclement around them.
Before Zhu Jianchou could see the models of the rifles and the military insignia on their collars, all the Chinese were subdued by this group of unknown soldiers. Even Zhu Jianchou, who had lost an arm, had a gun pointed at his head. All the evolvers and soldiers looked at them with hostility, especially some of the officers who were furious when they saw the New Era military uniforms they were wearing. Zhu Jianchou immediately shouted, "42nd Army, 163rd Division, 488th Battalion, Zhu Jianchou of the 1st Battalion, Machine Gun Company, reporting to the leader …"
It was originally just a test, but who knew that the moment he shouted, all the guns were lowered at the same time. One of the officers with the rank of First Lieutenant even nodded at him in surprise, but did not say anything, as though he was waiting for something. The Agility-based Evolvers that were scattered around the treetops dispersed, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The strength-based Evolvers also shook their heads and dispersed, taking the opportunity to cut down the thick trees in front of them. In the blink of an eye, an empty space of 300m was cleared. No one spoke, and the soldiers only slightly relaxed their surveillance of them. They did not approach them, nor did they confiscate their weapons. That was until a beautiful lady in a snow-white dress and a colonel officer walked out.
The moment the woman appeared, all the women present lost their colors, as if they were faded plastic flowers that could no longer attract attention. All the men, including Zhu Jianchou, were dumbfounded. They had never thought that there would be such a pure and beautiful woman in this world. Her dreamy eyes made people want to be drunk to death in them. Her smooth and lustrous skin was even more translucent than the highest grade of mutton-fat white jade. Even dust would fall off her skin.
Zhuo Mingyue was displeased by these men's stupidity. Her cold snort resounded in everyone's ears like a clap of thunder. Aside from the determined Zhu Jianchou, everyone fell to the ground and woke up. Zhu Jianchou quickly lowered his head, not daring to take another look. This kind of beauty, this kind of huge ship, and this kind of method were not things he could have imagined. Only by expressing his respect and harmlessness could he avoid even more misunderstandings.
"Captain, this person is a retired soldier from the Guangzhou Military Region …" Zhu Jianchou lowered his head, but someone reported his identity to Huang Tingwei, which surprised Huang Tingwei. China's soldiers were not as easy to enter as other countries. First, they had to be nominated by the neighborhood committee or village committee, then verified by the armed forces, and then there were a few more checks, including a political background check. After going through this whole process, it was not guaranteed that they could get in. It depended on whether the person's connections were strong enough, and whether they had enough money. That was why Huang Tingwei had treated Zhu Jianchou as a Chinese, but he had not thought about Zhu Jianchou's complicated background.
"Leader, the people around me are all overseas Chinese. They have been persecuted by the Indonesians, and we ask for help from our motherland. Please avenge us …" Zhu Jianchou had already determined that these people were China's soldiers. He couldn't help but feel wronged, and tears blurred his eyes. He whimpered and complained to Huang Tingwei, but Huang Tingwei did not respond enthusiastically. He just frowned and looked at these people.
Most of the women had traces of being ravaged. Most of the people present knew what these women had experienced. Before Zhang Xiaoqiang had reorganized order, most of the female survivors in China had been ravaged. Very few of the men were as emotional as Zhu Jianchou. Instead, they looked at them suspiciously. Even the women were hostile towards them.
The mainlanders did not understand the ambivalence of the overseas Chinese towards their motherland's soldiers. From the Qing dynasty until the apocalypse, the overseas Chinese were a group of people who were abandoned by China. They could not be protected or accepted by their motherland. Even if they donated their entire family fortune to their motherland and sacrificed their lives for it, they were not protected by their country. In the end, their hearts turned cold, and they no longer counted on their country. Although they would still lend a helping hand when their country was in trouble, it was only for the sake of nostalgia.
"Why do you have New Era equipment …" Because he did not understand, Huang Tingwei did not answer. This made Zhu Jianchou dumbfounded, and the rest of the overseas Chinese felt disappointed. However, Zhu Jianchou, who was born in China, did not think too much about it. His nature to obey orders had already taken root in his body. He said loudly, "The New Era continued in Indonesia, but it was overthrown by Indonesia's Super Evolver, Bato. All the equipment and soldiers were taken from them …"
Looking at the dozens of weapons in everyone's hands, Huang Tingwei nodded. This Zhu Jianchou in front of him was quite a character. He could not help but admire him. At this time, Zhuo Ming Yue said coldly, "What's the point of talking so much? Ask them if they know where he is …" Zhuo Ming Yue made things difficult for Huang Tingwei. He could see that these people in front of him did not have a good life. As a fellow Chinese, he naturally wanted to help when he saw his fellow countrymen in such a miserable state. However, their main mission was to find Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Found it …" A shout came from afar. An Agility-type Evolver had rushed over, and in his hand was the communicator that Zhang Xiaoqiang had thrown away. Seeing the communicator, Huang Tingwei could not be bothered with Zhu Jianchou and asked, "Where did you find it …"
Naturally, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not be near the communicator, and the two of them rejoiced for nothing. They turned their attention back to the Chinese. It was inevitable that Zhang Xiaoqiang would appear here, and as for his whereabouts, they would have to rely on the person in front of them. It was no wonder that Huang Tingwei and the rest were so anxious. The path that the little loli had opened was only 4-5m wide. If it was a hundred meters in the sky, it would be no different from the surrounding trees. If it was not for the fact that Xie Kun did not know about the hidden paths in the wild, and had barbecued in the forest, he would not have attracted the attention of the frigate. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang's whereabouts were still in Zhu Jianchou's hands.
Zhu Jianchou was confused when he saw the picture of Zhang Xiaoqiang. He did not know why these people were looking for Zhang Xiaoqiang. From the scene of the massacre after Zhang Xiaoqiang's departure, it was clear that Zhang Xiaoqiang was not from Indonesia or New Era. What was the relationship between Huang Tingwei and Zhang Xiaoqiang?
No matter what, Zhang Xiaoqiang and the big guy had saved their lives, and indirectly saved Shen Yueyi and the rest. He could not bring himself to repay kindness with enmity.
Zhu Jianchou's expression did not change, but Xie Kun beside him was a bit surprised. Huang Tingwei had noticed something, so he said in a low voice, "I know you are from a military background, and you should also know that the world is in chaos. China's government no longer exists, and the person in the picture is our leader. He was separated from us because of some accident. He is the leader of China's revival, and he is also the umbrella for millions of Chinese people. If something happens to him, I believe that China will truly fall into destruction. So please tell me where he is …"
After all, Huang Tingwei had the rank of a colonel, and his words meant everything. Zhu Jianchou could not help but believe him, but he could not say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He knew that once he said Zhang Xiaoqiang's whereabouts, the frigate would leave, and they would fall into a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness. After all, the lives of thousands of Chinese people were in danger.
Seeing Zhu Jianchou's hesitation, Huang Tingwei frowned. Beside him, Zhuo Mingyue was even angrier. If it were not for the fact that most of the people in front of them were women, she might have taught them a lesson. Without waiting for Zhuo Mingyue to explode, Huang Tingwei rushed to say, "What do you want?
Guns, ammunition, food, and supplies?
Or do you want to leave this place and become one of us? "
These conditions were all excellent. Zhu Jianchou knew that if he wanted weapons, 100 rifles and 100,000 bullets would not be a problem. If he wanted supplies and food, he could give dozens of people three years' worth of supplies, not to mention getting on the frigate. As long as they were on board, he did not believe that there would be any danger in the world that could endanger them.
But these were not what he wanted. After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Jianchou suddenly raised his head and resolutely said, "I want you to help me save the lives of thousands of Chinese people …"
