Chapter 139 The dangers of traitors

Since this was an open-air environment, the ten people who came here seemed a little too nervous.

They were still a little nervous, and their eyes kept glancing around from time to time, as if they were afraid that an army of rats would come out from both sides of the street in the next second.

Especially since Zhou You was not driving the humanoid armor that gave people confidence at first glance, these people felt even more unsure.

The hard workers have been enslaved by rat surveillance for so many days. Although their minds are strong enough, it obviously still leaves an indelible psychological shadow.

Upon seeing this, Zhou You first smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be nervous. Since I dare to receive you in the open air, I naturally have something to rely on. Don't look at the fact that the pursuit troops have not returned yet and have no air power or maneuverability.

But the remaining infantry like us are enough to fight one against ten with the swords, guns and swords in our hands. Even if there are tens of thousands more rats, as long as they dare to fight us head-on, they won't be enough for us to kill."

After Zhou You made such a statement, the spirits of these ten people really relaxed a lot.

One of the younger guys took the lead and said: "Mr. Zhou, we already know that you are coming from Lelai County to provide support. In short, we can survive because we really want to thank you for your help. It is a great kindness.

I can't repay you. I can't represent others, so I only represent myself. From now on, Mr. Zhou, if you can give me a bite to eat, I will work hard for you until I die."

The young man expressed his position first, and the nine people followed him one after another.

Obviously, these ten people had a brief discussion on the way here, or even when they were choosing representatives there, and came up with a unified decision.

Most of these 3,700 people are survivors of disasters, and they know deeply how difficult it is to survive in today's world.

Even though they may have relatives and friends outside, they really can't care about that much at the moment. They must first survive themselves, and then strive to live a better life, only then can they have the possibility of searching, collecting and rescuing their relatives and friends.

If they had to rely on someone, they, who had been deeply disappointed with Kangyue County Government, naturally knew who to choose without hesitation.

There is no doubt about the power of this Lelai Expeditionary Force.

Anyone who can survive for so many days in this rat's nest is basically a sober and understanding person.

Zhou You smiled and nodded, "Then, on behalf of myself, Deng Tao, the captain of the Lelai County Public Security Brigade, and our Lelai County Government, I would like to welcome all compatriots to join us. You have suffered, and we are a little late. Alas.

.”

There was a middle-aged and elderly man who looked seriously injured, with several scars on his face and his body covered with bandages. He shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Zhou, don't blame yourself. I can't blame you. The whole country is not in a mess now. We

Kangyue County has the troubles of Kangyue County, and Lelai County also has your troubles. Before the power and network were cut off, I had already heard that many county towns had fallen. You guys can still spare your hands.

I can’t thank you enough for working so hard to help us.”

Zhou You turned to look at the old man, feeling a little confused and said, "Your injuries seem to be very serious. Logically speaking, you should have a good rest in the medical car. Why did you come here? You are..."

When the old man heard this, his face showed a trace of unforgettable hatred and anger that could not be concealed. It took him a few seconds to calm down, "Mr. Zhou, I heard someone said that Duke was locked up in this car, right?"

Knowing this, I couldn't control myself. In my heart... I felt so hateful and uncomfortable. If I don't come to him to settle the account, I won't be willing to die."

Seeing that the old man refused to explain his identity clearly, a middle-aged woman next to him interrupted: "Mr. Zhou, this is Boss Wang Wenming, the boss who invested in building that factory, and what everyone usually calls Mr. Wang."

.”

Zhou You was stunned.

When searching for information before, Zhou You actually saw Wang Wenming's photos.

In the photo, this middle-aged and elderly man in his sixties is wearing a slim-fitting suit. Although he has gray hair on his temples, he is still energetic and energetic. Mr. Wang seems to pay special attention to his personal health. Although he is older, he never neglects it.

Although she exercises, she maintains her body shape very well in the photos, and she looks very dignified at first glance.

But the little old man in front of Zhou You was just unkempt and had so many criss-crossing scars on his face, but his face was swollen and round. It didn't match the face shape in the photo at all, so Zhou You didn't even recognize it.

Get him out.

Unlike the so-called businessmen in the usual sense, Wang Wenming has an excellent reputation in Lelai and Kangyue counties and even Fanyang City as a whole.

Many students in both places habitually call him Mr. Wang.

Wang Wenming made his fortune relatively early. He had a net worth of hundreds of millions about twenty years ago. He has made steady progress over the years. His overall personal assets should be comparable to those of the Jiang and Zhou family.

Unlike Jiang Tian, ​​Wang Wenming was very keen on charity, especially building schools. He funded many schools in Fanyang City to build teaching buildings, and also established scholarships that sponsored an average of at least 300 poor students every year.

Because of Mr. Wang's outstanding contributions over the years, Kangyue County reported him as a key rescue target when his family was found trapped in Dujia Village.

Before the heavy rain, Kangyue County Government was already formulating an action plan and wanted to send an action team to Tongming Town. Of course, the main purpose of this action was not only for Wang Wenming, but also to remove the trapped people here.

The people picked him up.

No one expected that there would be a sudden heavy rain, causing mudslides and power outages. Then the rats in Kangyue County became lawless in many areas. After that, no one mentioned the rescue of Tongming Town again.

This really cannot be blamed on the Kangyue County Government, it is really powerless.

Now that the identity of the other party was confirmed, Zhou You also stood up and said with great respect: "Hello, Mr. Wang. I also happen to have some matters related to Duke that I would like to consult with you. Please tell me everything you know from the beginning.

Get up. Don't worry, he is in my hands, and I can take care of him as I want. He will not cause any trouble. I admit that I am not a soft-hearted person. I had doubts about him before,

If you need my help in upholding justice, I have no problem and it is my duty to do so."

Zhou You's attitude is very clear.

The ten people looked at each other and seemed to cheer each other up with their eyes, and then everyone's eyes focused on Wang Wenming.

The old gentleman took a deep breath and began to take the lead in speaking.

Duke is indeed a native of Dujiacun, there is no doubt about it.

However, although Duke also has his own surname and is a native of the country, Duke's reputation in the local area is very bad, and can even be said to be shabby.

To use the words of the old people in the village, this person has not studied well since he was a child. He skipped classes every day when he was studying. He didn't even finish junior high school and ran out to follow others to learn how to be a member of the society.

Excessive gambling.

This man is a big gambler. Basically, if he has a hundred dollars in his pocket, he will dare to play mahjong for ten dollars.

In the early years, fortunately, Duke's father's business was doing well. Taking advantage of the development of the village, he opened a hardware and building materials store. He made a little money and could barely make ends meet.

When Duke was probably in his twenties, his father gave him a lot of betrothal gifts and gave him a daughter-in-law from the next village, hoping that he could live a peaceful life in the future.

There is no need for him to stand out, just to continue the family lineage is fine.

Several years later, although Duke's habits of excessive gambling and lazy eating have not changed, the family can barely survive their small life.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, this guy would of course always ask for money from his family.

His reasons are very good.

Duke's parents heard that he wanted to buy milk powder for their son, but they couldn't help but give it to them.

With the "support" from his family, this guy gambled bigger and bigger, lost more and more, and owed more and more gambling debts outside.

Later, this man finally stepped into a deep hole and owed hundreds of thousands of loan sharks.

With no other choice, Duke's parents sold the hardware building store and the newly renovated two-story house, and the family moved back to the old house in the mountains that had not yet collapsed, barely still having a place to stay.

But even though he gambled like this, his wife still didn't run away and still stayed with him to endure hardships.

But if he refuses to change his ways, sooner or later he will find the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Once, Duke's parents took a tricycle of fruit to the city to sell. His wife saw that they brought too much fruit and was worried that they wouldn't be able to sell it all in a day, so she followed them into the city, leaving Duke alone.

I am taking care of my son who has just turned four at home.

As a result, this guy actually left his son at home watching TV alone and went to the mahjong parlor on the village street to play cards.

What's even more outrageous is that this guy's beating lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. His parents and daughter-in-law had all sold the fruit and returned home. They didn't even think of having a son at home.

As a result, his four-year-old son was so hungry that he went out to look for his father around seven o'clock in the evening. Then he slipped and fell into the river and drowned.

The two old men and the child's mother first found the baby's body in the river and then pulled him out of the mahjong parlor.

When he knew that his son had drowned, this guy actually yelled, "Don't worry, let me mess with you first. It won't make any difference if you bury him early or bury him later."

When he was forcibly dragged off the table by the two old men, this guy was still struggling to get back to the card table, shouting, "I am the only one with two turtles, and I got off the three-six-nine sedan, and the iron will touch the three houses."

Later, his wife finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran away to work and never came back.

Less than half a year later, the two old people died of illness one after another.

Instead of being sad, this beast was just happy that no one could control his playing cards now.

It's a pity that he has no source of income, and he keeps owing money from playing cards. Even the other ruffians in the village who are also bad to a certain extent look down on him and are too lazy to talk to him.

This guy is also shameless and doesn't care. He hangs around in the mahjong parlor with an enamel teacup all day long. Even if he can only watch others playing at the card table, he can have fun for most of the day by showing off his arms from time to time.

When he has nothing to do, he will also talk to people about idle talk, complain about the unfairness of the world, criticize officials who do not do serious work, and hate that his skills are useless. He said that if he lived in a better era, he would

If you can get fairer treatment, you will definitely not be as miserable as you are now.

Regarding Duke's nonsense, other people in the Du family's village told him to treat it as a joke and not take it seriously at all. Sometimes they got really tired of hearing it, and some people even said nasty things to him. They angrily scolded him on the spot for being such a great person.

You scum, you just know that you have been idle all day long, and you have killed your son, and your parents are so angry, and such a good wife can't stand you and ran away. You don't know how to reflect on yourself, but you only blame others all day long, let alone the current society governed by law, even if

In the troubled times of the past, people like you would definitely have been the first to die.

As time went by, Duke really couldn't find a close friend and gradually became taciturn. He just continued to hang out in the mahjong parlor every day to get the mahjong smell.

Others didn't bother to persuade him to take care of him anymore, they just regarded him as air, no matter what he said, they just ignored him and that was it.

Other relatives of the Du family were really afraid of him. At first, some people wanted to give him a hand for the sake of his parents, such as taking him out to work, or letting him come to their house for a meal, but this person
