CH 66

Among the five of them, Hao Jian, Lian Ru Ning, Xin Ting, Peng Mao, and Shi Gong Dui, Shi Gong Dui must be the best in terms of strength. Hao Jian wins in intelligence, quick response, and information. Lian Ru Ning’s physical ability and other aspects are considered moderate, but she can bear hardship and is hardworking, she will also not give up without a fight and can quickly grow up to face her fears.

In addition to being a bit like an embroidered pillow, Peng Mao has an intimidating appearance and he can now deal with zombies alone. Although he seems dull, he actually has his own ideas. He may not really be able to help Hao Jian and the group, he still doesn’t slow everyone down.

Therefore, among the group, Xin Ting is relatively weak. In addition to her lack of strength, her biggest weakness is her timidity. Plus, she just also left university and went to school for an internship and she’s simple-minded.

Later, she practiced her guts and can now rely on her own strength to deal with one or two zombies, but it’s still easy for people to think she’s vulnerable. The reason for this is still her naivety and simplicity.

So when she discovered this anomaly through her won observation and kept it a secret, and found a reliable person to discuss it with, she had invariably raised her guard and had thought on her own.

Although Hao Jian agrees that they are her companions, she has never thought of binding everyone together to act together anytime and anywhere. What she hopes is that they will still have the ability to survive on their own even after they go their separate ways.

Xin Ting was still waiting for Hao Jian’s response, and after some thought, Hao Jian said, “Let’s go in first.”

Xin Ting was confused and asked, “Are we just going to leave Shi Gong Dui alone?”

“Not really, but there are some things that you may be able to know.”

Xin Ting followed Hao Jian back while Shi Gong Dui was turning out a rare machine from the factory. It had sharp gear disks on one end and a generator-like machine behind the long rod, but it was far less large and bulky than a generator.

“Classmate Lian, do you know what I found?!” Shi Gong Dui approached Lian Ru Ning to show off the dusty machine.

Lian Ru Ning was slightly ashamed, “What is this? I don’t think I’ve seen it before, but it looks a bit like a lawnmower.”

“It’s called—” Shi Gong Dui was beginning to tell a story so when Peng Mao looked over and examined it for a while, he said, “It’s just a rice harvester!”

Lian Ru Ning was a little surprised, “But aren’t rice harvesters the one that runs?”

“Hey, that kind of big machine is only suitable for operations in vast, flat places like our mountainous place, but those terraced fields like the one in Huang Yueming’s house, this kind of single operated machines are most suitable.”

“Good to know.”

As they were talking, Hao Jian and Xin Ting came back and Lian Ru Ning saw that one of them looked normal while the other one was wrinkling her brow a little. She was stunned for a moment, wondering if she was wrong? The reason is that Xin Ting clearly didn’t appear sad.

Shi Gong Dui didn’t care about them but cheerfully said, “The full name of this thing is called ‘backpack gasoline rice cutter’ that is, after adding gasoline on the back press the switch and it will make the gear disk on the end rotate on tremendous speed to achieve the purpose of cutting.”

Peng mao suddenly became interested, “This is good. With this, won’t cutting zombies be as easy as cutting vegetables? It’s more suitable than a chainsaw in this kind of place! What’s more, we have plenty of gasoline! But does it still work?”

“We’ll know when we try it out later.” Shi Gong Dui looked at Xin Ting, “I think this is suitable for classmate Xin.”

When Xin Ting was called by him, it made her heart nervous, and couldn’t help but turn to look at Hao Jian.

Hao Jian smiled and said, “Contractor, did you do something unusual today?”

The crowd froze and their eyes shifted between Hao Jian and Shi Gong Dui.

Xin Ting also didn’t expect Hao Jian to show her hand so quickly. She but her lower lip and after plucking up her courage, she stood tall and told what she saw today.

Peng Mao widened his eyes upon hearing this before vigilantly looking at Shi Gong Dui.

Shi Gong Dui, on the other hand, didn’t change his expression, “You saw the wrong thing.”

“I’m not mistaken, I didn’t understand the coding but I still know there were Chinese characters on it!” Xin Ting said firmly.

Xiao Ting won’t tell lies for no reason. Contractor, no Shi Gong Dui, do you still not confess to the truth?!” Peng Mao aimed the rice cutter in his hand at Shi Gong Dui.

Shi Gong Dui glanced at Hao Jian, then resignedly gave up resistance, “Well, I did edit and send out what Hao Jian had said, but I didn’t send it to ‘Wugui’ or some evil organization. I passed it to the town’s authorities at hot spring resort.”

Peng Mao and Xin Ting were dumbfounded and Lian Ru Ning was also very confused while looking at Hao Jian, who smiled at her, signaling her to continue listening.

During this implementation, Shi Gong Dui, like Hao Jian, is a member of the ‘special response group’ but their difference is that Hao Jian is still a ‘temporary member’ while Shi Gong Dui is a ‘regular member’.

When he purchased the equipment, he had already attracted the attention of the government, who had been secretly investigating him. In view of his ability to play a huge role and the outbreak of the zombie virus, the government needed capable people to become foreign aid, so he was invited to tea by the security department.

The ‘ special response team’ was established at that time to mainly absorb ordinary people who have good skills.

The ‘special response team’ was comprised of more than 20 people with different identities, including Shi Gong Dui, who became ‘regular members’ after a month of training and political trial.

Later on, when the zombie level 3 broke out, he returned home to his villa on standby, during which the government didn’t contact him to not reveal his identity until Hao Jian and the others came. Using Lian Ru Ning’s messages, he sent them out to let the government notice him and let them contact him again.

Of course, he didn’t say these things, after all, if his identity is exposed, it could get very dangerous for him.

He didn’t even know about Hao Jian’s identity at all. Later, after the ‘ambush operation’ of the military, he realized it, and when he did. he never went to Hao Jian for confirmation. He only tried her with words but was then slandered by Hao Jian instead, saying that he was ‘separating’ them.

Therefore, Peng Mao and Xin Ting only thought that Shi Gong Dui was forced to be the government’s messenger after they caught him eavesdropping on the government’s secrets.

This is exactly why Hu Dan didn’t confiscate all of his equipment.

Of course, what he didn’t say was that he didn’t want his equipment to fall into someone else’s hands, so he chose to hand it over to the military. After confirming that there were no traitors among Hu Dan’s gang, he asked the professionals from the military to encrypt his devices.

And he left some portable devices, enough for him to be a messenger between the government within a certain range so that he could just fulfill his duties. At the same time, he also got some communication keys, otherwise, he couldn’t have controlled the broadcasting systems of some public places so easily.

Of course, whether or not there were people from ‘Wugui’ in the town’s government of the hot spring resort wasn’t within Shi Gong Dui’s scope of responsibilities as he had more important tasks which are to report and convey upon his return to the ‘special response team’ headquarters in Xiang city.

Hao Jian figured out Shi Gong Dui’s identity when they were still at Heshui hydropower station, otherwise, she wouldn’t have talked about important matters in front of him at all.

Lian Ru Ning also didn’t know Shi Gong Dui’s identity at first. It wasn’t until they got separated after the ‘ambush operation’ carried out by the military team in Xinghua City that Hao Jian told her that Peng Mao and the others would be okay because they were with Shi Gong Dui.

From then on, she vaguely understood Shi Gong Dui’s identity. Hao Jian’s suspicion from the beginning about trust until now, then his identity must belong to the Wei Guangzheng.

After hearing that Shi Gong Dui was working for the military, Peng Mao and Xin Ting were slightly shocked. No wonder Shi Gong Dui asked was able to ask for his equipment back from the military so easily, no wonder he was always fiddling with a pile of equipment. . . .

Xin Ting was even more ashamed, “Sorry, I misunderstood you!”

Shi Gong Dui rubbed his hands and revealed a wry smile, “Sister Xin, if you really feel sorry, stop calling me Contractor, call me Lao Gong!”

Peng Mao hurriedly stood in front of Xin Ting. After all the questioning, entanglements, and the shock of learning the truth, he was relieved. He then faced Shi Gong Dui and spoke even more rudely, “I thought you joined the military, but if you think about it carefully, your joining is strange enough! But even if you’re a government temporary worker, that’s no reason for you to get laid! Much less take advantage of Xiao Ting!”

Shi Gong Dui curled his lips, “How can this be considered as taking advantage? I’m such an upright person!”

“. . . Why am I doubting just how much those short-sighted government officials saw in you?”

“Don’t worry, after all, he’s sneaky. Without knowing the truth, it is indeed suspicious and the fact that you can figure out his little actions shows that you’re doing very well.” Hao Jian encouraged Xin Ting again.

Peng Mao asked, “Hao Jian, you’ve known his identity for a long time? You’ve hidden it so well!”

“After all, he’s running errands for the governments. I can’t say these casually and I was inadvertently told about them after I accidentally learned about them.”

Regarding this ‘inadvertently’, Peng Mao thought that it’s most likely Hu Dan telling her. He once again sighed, understanding that Hao Jian can really be considered as ‘all-knowing’ and no one can hide anything from her.

He then thought about the fact that even Lian Ru Ning didn’t know about it, so it was obvious that it wasn’t because Hao Jian didn’t trust them. He felt so much better after knowing this.

Xin Ting was still very upset because she had misunderstood Shi Gong Dui, who advised her not to care, but she still agreed, though she still looks a little lost in thought.

“But I only know how to fix cars.” Xin Ting said.

“Both cars and these things need gasoline, they’re essentially the same thing!”

“. . .” Xin Ting had to carry the rice cutter to the side to figure it out.

Peng Mao came up to Shi Gong Dui’s side and asked, “Then why are you returning to Xiang City?”

If Shi Gong Dui is helping the government run errands, then his reason for returning to the Xiang city in the first place seems implausible. Hao Jian and the others didn’t ask and he only suddenly thought about it. If he doesn’t get a clear answer, then his doubts would always remain in his mind and he would particularly feel uncomfortable.

Shi Gong Dui answered, “This is confidential, how could I tell you?!”

Peng Mao thought about it carefully and it is indeed confidential, but. . .

“Just like we said at first, we just drop you off on the way to Xiang City and we won’t be responsible for breaking through the dense zombies with you when entering the downtown area!”

They are already very close to the boundary of Xiang City and they haven’t encountered any accidents. If nothing else happens. they might arrive by tomorrow, so Peng Mao still needs to remind Shi Gong Dui about some things.

When Shi Gong Dui heard this, he shouted, “How can you do this to me? You brought me here, yet you won’t continue being responsible for me ’till the end? We have gone through so much so how can you leave me behind?! You’re really heartless!”

Peng Mao got goosebumps all over his body, especially after receiving ambiguous gazes from the other three girls and he exploded, “Fuck off, I’m a man who’s as straight as steel and only like girls! If you say such things again, I will tear your balls off! I dare you!”

Shi Gong Dui guarded his pants and crotch, “I heard that fitness coaches are all Kiri based, I thought you were good about this one.”

“Come on, it’s time to assign work.” Hao Jian said before turning and looking at Shi Gong Dui, “But Peng Mao is right. After tomorrow, you’ll have to go your separate way from us, after all, I don’t want to add so much uncertainty before we finish our affairs.”

“Don’t be like that classmate Hao! You’re really a good classmate of mine, just do me a favor and drop me off at the Government Administration Building of Xiang City.”

“. . . I don’t need to look at the map to know that that place is in the city center.”

Liang Ru Ning suddenly said, “Actually, it seems that it’s not impossible because the east river water system is the one that flows from Xinghua city to Cheng city and Xiang city before merging into the sea. We can get to the town by the east river and find a boat to go there directly. Because the zombies can’t swim. the waterway should be a relatively safe route.”

If it was before, Lian Ru Ning wouldn’t have thought of such a way, only after she met Ding Gunian’s group did she think back on the water systems of the Southern City with Xiang City and other cities.

In the case of Dongjang River, because after leaving the mountainous area of Cheng City, there will be no more dams when one arrives in the downtown area of the river, so a boat ride is feasible!

“The question is, where can we find a boat?”

Heeeyyy so Shi Gong Dui isn’t a traitor or anything hahahaha, isn’t that a relief??
