Catastrophe

When Shangguan Xiaohu received a call from Gutai Company, Lin Bao and others were all excited, but Ning Zhe's remarks were like pouring cold water on their heads, and Lin Bao said hesitantly. : "Brother Zhe, can't you? When Gu Tai's people were talking to Erhu, they told him that they were going to make him the new manager of Gutai Company!"

"Because the Gutai Company is too straightforward, there is a problem with this matter!" Ning Zhe knocked on the table and reminded: "Now the chaos at the coal terminal, they are the people who can see the most clearly. , The most important thing is that the chaos within Sun Corps' gang has not ended. In this case, if Gutai Company decided to bring Shangguan Xiaohu to the position of manager, it would mean that he would be subject to several other forces. As a result, Gu Tai will not only be unable to suppress the chaos, but will continue to expand the chaos. It is impossible for them to ignore such details! So if Gu Tai really wants to support Shangguan Xiaohu , the most important thing to do now is not to make him the new manager, but to help him suppress the restless forces first!"

"You mean, Gu Tai doesn't have much sincerity in cooperation?" Lin Bao scratched his head and asked curiously, "If that's the case, why do they still make this call?"

"Because they have already selected a suitable manager, and today's call to Shangguan Xiaohu is to help the new manager clear the obstacles ahead!" Ning Zhe looked at Lin Bao with a calm expression: " You are one of those obstacles."

"Fuck!" Lin Bao realized the deep meaning of Ning Zhe's words, and immediately slapped his thigh: "You mean that the appointment of Gutai Company is fake, and the real purpose is to kill Erhu?"

"I don't know what method they will take, but they are definitely not sincere. Now the pier is messed up here. If Gu Tai's people really want to appoint a new manager, they should also invite people to the administrative district and let them This new manager feels the pressure from the upper management, instead of sending people to negotiate with the people who ask for them." Ning Zhe leaned back and raised Erlang's legs: "If Gutai Company's People really came to the Outer Fourth District, and it can only explain one thing, that is, someone has gone to the administrative district to negotiate with them, and that person must have promised to protect the safety of the Gutai Company Commissioner in the Outer Fourth District!"

"I thought it was a pie falling from the sky, but now I look at it this way, it's a knife from the sky!" After hearing Ning Zhe's analysis, Lin Bao felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly got up: "No, I have to get Hurry back and tell Erhu not to participate in this negotiation, this meal is too dangerous!"

"Slow!" Ning Zhe waved his hand to stop Lin Bao, and shook his head gently: "Go back and tell Shangguan Xiaohu, let him eat normally today."

Lin Bao asked suspiciously: "Eat it normally? We all know that this meal is a trap, so what's the point of eating it!"

Ning Zhe smiled and said, "Didn't Gu Tai's people tell Shangguan Xiaohu on the phone that they are going to let him take over as manager? No matter what they think, I'll take it as their word! "

Lin Bao scratched his head: "Brother Zhe, why didn't I understand what you said?"

"You don't need to understand, this matter is done according to my wishes, you are like this..." Ning Zhe leaned forward and whispered to Lin Bao.

…

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky was getting dark. After Ma Bo came to pick up the night shift, Ning Zhe walked to the exit of the pier by himself. Within a few minutes, Lin Bao rode a borrowed motorcycle and parked at the pier. Ning Zhe picked him up beside him.

In the middle of the ninth winter, the cold wind slashed on his skin like a knife. Lin Bao shrank his neck and did not dare to ride his motorcycle too fast, while Ning Zhe sat in the back seat and found that today's city is a little different, so he He patted Lin Bao on the shoulder: "What day is it today, why are there white gauze hanging on the street lamp poles and the plaques of many shops?"

"October 26th, the first anniversary of the death of the Blood Lake Pioneer Group, the management center ordered the whole city to hang white gauze to pay homage to the heroic spirits. The broadcast said that in front of the square of the management center building, there will be a large-scale memorial service!" Lin Baoxie Glancing at the white gauze on the street, as well as the crowd who went to the river to put up river lanterns to commemorate them, they turned their heads and roared: "The chaebols have been fighting for years, and they treat the soldiers very well, and being a soldier is also promoted as a full A matter of honor! This Blood Lake Pioneer Group was ordered to go to the Blood Lake Mining Area under the Pei's chaebol a year ago to perform a defense mission, but was attacked by a large number of mutants. I heard that the Pioneer Group detonated the explosion in order to stop the mutants. After the explosive depot, the soldiers and 5,000 miners in the regiment were not spared. They were all posthumously designated as martyrs. This infantry regiment was also renamed the Blood Lake Pioneer Regiment and retained its troop number, which will never be cancelled! , there are also many streets named after their numbers... Speaking of which, these people in the Pioneer Group are really good men, and they are not afraid of death!"

When Ning Zhe heard a new term, he frowned and asked, "What is a mutant?"

"I don't know either! I heard that so many chaebols formed the Federation to defend against mutants! But I also heard this word on the radio. I have never even been out of Fort 87 in my life, how could I know about the outside of the Federation? What's going on!" Lin Bao shrugged: "But even if we leave the fortress, we probably won't be able to cross the border. I heard that people in refugee areas are covered with germs, and those who have come into contact with them will not survive long. !"

Ning Zhe looked sideways at Bai Ling flying all over the city, fell into silence, and did not mention it to Lin Bao. In fact, the people in the refugee area are not terrible, and they are no different from them.

About 20 minutes later, Lin Bao parked his motorcycle on the edge of a messy second-class street. Most of the roads in the fortress were asphalt, and some of them were cement roads. The road in front of them was actually a road. The ballast is paved, and there is a rattling sound when you step on it. Motorcycles can't be ridden. The sides of the road are bare, there are no trees on the street, and the shops are full of paper shops, auto repair shops and shampoo rooms. Yes, the wires are thrown away over the street, like a cobweb with holes, and further away are the stacked buildings with rough workmanship and full of wasteland style, which look crooked.

Lin Bao looked around for a week and pointed to a second-floor restaurant with a small face in the distance: "Brother Zhe, here we are. The restaurant where Commissioner Gu Tai entertained Erhu tonight is the home-cooked dish of Mama Wang in front!"

"The people from Gutai Company came over and chose such a place?" Ning Zhe looked at the plaque of the hotel and narrowed his eyes slightly. This kind of hotel is not bad in the outer four districts, but it is not bad for people in the administrative district. In other words, the grade is too low.

"The negotiator sent by Gutai Company this time is named Qiao Jian. He said that he is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the city and wants to try the specialties from the Fourth District." Lin Bao explained.

"Haha." Hearing this, Ning Zhe revealed a playful smile.
