A blue-gray lifeboat floated on the surface of the sea about a kilometer away. A man was sitting on the bow and the stern of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand and lifting it from time to time.
"Hey 5 to 2, Lai Gende wins smoke!" The man at the stern suddenly stabbed the fish, desperately shook the fishing reel, and pulled up a flounder the size of a washbasin from the sea water.
Throwing the fish into the incubator, the man drew out his dagger and carved a line on the side of the boat, proudly announcing the far ahead score. Instead of hanging bait and throwing poles, he sat down to light a cigarette, and smoked it leisurely.
"Captain Hong, are you really not considering returning to the league management?"
The man sitting on the bow is not young anymore, most of his hair has become pure white, but he has a strong artistic atmosphere, and a ponytail is tied behind his head. Seeing such a disparity in the score, they stopped fishing at all and moved to the stern of the boat to sit face to face.
The man with the big lead was naturally Hong Tao. After a day and a night of running wildly, the small gunboat drove at the speed of a frigate, and finally sent him to the destroyer moored off Chongming Island. So far, the safety issue has become secondary. Not only the air force and army don't know the location of this ship, but even the navy doesn't know it.
The Admiral of the Navy and Tian Renji did not show up. He should have returned to the capital base at this time to engage in a series of connections. The person who came to greet the old superior instead of him was also an acquaintance, Michio Takahashi, who founded the Alliance Navy with Hong Tao.
Compared with the tense atmosphere outside, the destroyer is much more relaxed. Except for the officers in individual positions, the sailors had no idea who the old man who suddenly appeared was. After sailing out of the home port, the telecommunications equipment on the ship was strictly controlled, and everyone thought it was an ordinary exercise.
Hong Tao didn't mean to wander around the boat, looking for any acquaintances from the past. He still wore sunglasses and changed into a navy combat uniform, and then asked Takahashi Haruto about one thing, where is there a reef in the nearby waters? Or shipwreck?
As expected of old acquaintances, after hearing this question, Takahashi only said the word "Reassurance", and the destroyer unanchored and sailed to the deep sea to the north for most of the night, and anchored again when the sky was dawn.
Then he came to the cabin with a fishing rod, boarded the lifeboat with Hong Tao, and ran to the waters half a kilometer away from the destroyer to start fishing. No fishing for nothing, according to the old rules of the alliance navy, whoever loses will cook at night.
"Takahashi, retirement is retirement, stop hiding in the dark to influence the army. If you don't want to die, just think I'm farting!"
Why did Takahashi come to Hong Tao? He felt like a bright mirror in his heart. He Tian Renji couldn't be separated if he wanted to sit in the Admiralty, and he was afraid that he would not have much friendship with him when he sent someone else. This old navy just met the conditions.
But it doesn't matter who comes, if you want to go back, Zhou Yuan's persuasion is enough, and you don't need to visit the thatched cottage. In addition, I have to remind Takahashi not to get too deep, some things should be let go, and you must not really regard the army as your own home.
"but you're still back!" Takahashi was blushed, but the Japanese have a common feature, they are very good at admitting mistakes, even if they are not convinced in their hearts, as long as the other party is right, they will recognized. But this time Takahashi was very abnormal, instead of admitting his mistake like a kowtow, he continued to question.
"The capital city is my home. I will come back whenever I want This time I came back for other things. I didn't want to disturb anyone. Unfortunately, people's wishes were not fulfilled. Some ghosts and gods participated in the clean-up operation. A very perverted living corpse had to show up.
Does that make sense? It's just a coincidence and means nothing. If Zhou Yuan hadn't recognized me, I would have been by the Yangtze River now. With our abilities, we can earn enough food and clothing wherever we go, and maybe we can earn the title of Jiangnan Hero in the south of the Yangtze River! "
What I said made Hong Tao almost angry. What do you mean I came back? Do I need to ask others for instructions when I go back to my mother's house! But after thinking about it, this bullshit is really nothing to brag about. Now that you want to go home, you really need to get the approval of the alliance. That place is occupied by others, and whoever has the biggest fist has the final say!
"Wada-kun said that you are immune to the zombie virus, is it true?" Michi Takahashi was not afraid of those triangular eyes at all. Anyone who has been in contact with Hong Tao for a long time and has a certain understanding will not be afraid.
When this man is really angry, he doesn't stare at all, he will praise you with a smile, praise you like a flower, and then secretly play tricks on you when you are not prepared, there is no warning or threat in advance. late.
"Oh, do you want to eat Tang Monk's meat? I warn you, injecting my blood directly into the body may not be able to obtain immunity, and it may cause symptoms similar to zombies.
?Not kidding, I tried blood transfusion to save lives in Xinjiang Province, and the result??The opponent suddenly found that he could sense the nearby zombies. If you really want to try it, I won't stop you, go to the ship to get a syringe, and give you a tube first, don't blame me for not explaining in advance when you turn into a monster. "
This is one of the main reasons why Hong Tao is unwilling to return to the alliance. Political struggle is actually not terrible, at least it is still affordable for him. But it is too dangerous to be treated as an alien all day long. Just look through the history books, no matter whether it is Chinese or foreign, you can know the attitude of human beings towards aliens.
It is possible to be envious or even admired in a short period of time, but as long as the time is long, 100% hate will be added. Hong Tao didn't want to be caught and burned to death by his relatives and friends as monsters one day. People's hearts are the most unreliable thing.
"No no no, Captain Hong, don't get me wrong, I just want to understand the current situation, so that we can strive for the best interests for us, please believe my sincerity!"
Compared with Mrs. Xiushan and Bai Side, Takahashi obviously has not fully integrated into Chinese culture. Not only does he speak Chinese with a strong accent, but he still has many old habits, especially his thinking mode has not changed much.
The reason for this difference is definitely related to talent, but it is not the only one. A navy like him spends almost as much time on the ship as on land. There are more foreign survivors in the circle around him, and the environment rendering is not deep enough, so the impact is less.
On the destroyer, Hong Tao heard him communicate with the sailors in Japanese. No wonder the navy is not seen by the high-level members of the alliance, and they don't always regard themselves as members of the alliance. It would be strange if the alliance could rest assured.
"Believe it? Who do you think I can trust? Without their company, I would sleep with one eye open! Takahashi, tell Commander Wada to stop relying on someone to change the status quo.
Life is lived by oneself, what kind of life do you want to live, and whether you are satisfied, don't look for objective reasons and other people's problems, first ask yourself whether you have worked hard for it 100%.
Take the navy as an example. I talked with Zhang Ke in the days when I was surrounded by zombies. According to him, the circle of the navy is very closed, it is difficult to accept outsiders, and it is very bad to do so.
Put yourself in the league's shoes and think about it, if there is an army that is always on the fringes of the group, what would you think about it? If I had had this kind of thinking at the beginning, I shouldn't have flown to Japan to find you. If you want others to trust you, you must first make enough gestures and sacrifices.
People will indeed adjust their needs and expectations as the environment changes. At the beginning, everyone had nothing, and as long as they could live, they were quite satisfied. Later, with the organization and the separation of classes, the demand also increased, and they wanted power and treatment.
There is nothing wrong with such a request, it is due to human nature. But have you ever thought about it, the current stability is only temporary, and the zombie virus is still threatening everyone all the time. Even if an effective vaccine can be developed, what will happen to the billions of zombies left?
It is obviously unrealistic to just leave each other alone without disturbing each other. This time I met mutated zombie dogs, which can replace the living corpses to command the zombies' actions. Can you guarantee that there will be no zombie birds and zombie fish in another ten years? Once it gets to that point, all human beings will come to an end, and no one can hide from it.
Personally, I think that now is not the time to scramble to occupy the land and share the fruits after a complete victory, let alone internal friction. Everyone's life will be threatened at any time. If you want to survive, you have to continue to struggle, unite and fight together, and everyone is lost if you are missing. ?
