    In addition to the imposing manner of eating and the relatively feminine gestures of holding things, the posture of walking reveals the identity even more.  Even though she had changed on purpose, she couldn't hide it from Hong Tao's countless beautiful eyes.

    If the boy was present, Hong Tao would definitely let him smoke a cigarette before shooting.  Well-trained and vicious, all dedicated people should be rewarded, no matter what they do.  The three hundred and sixty-five lines are not high or low, only the division of labor is different.

    It was around one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the street was finally cleared up. The shops also moved back their own tables, chairs, and grills, and sent people to clean them before closing their doors to prepare for a rest.

    It seems that today's carnival-like event is not the first time. As long as there are more refugees, no one needs to call, and it will naturally form.

    Hong Tao still went to the old place, and still dozed off frequently, paying attention to the movement on the street and in the hotel all the time.  Until dawn, except for a few wild cats or weasels poking their heads and smelling the smell of meat, no one came out to walk around.

    "Boom, boom, boom" Just as the sun was showing half of his face from the east, a strong man walked out of the blacksmith shop. Even though the temperature in the morning was a little low, he was still wearing short sleeves, yawning  Stretching his waist, he picked up the hammer and knocked on a broken iron plate hanging at the door of the blacksmith shop.

    As if it was the bell for class, the originally quiet streets soon became agitated. Blacksmith shops and grocery stores took off their thick door panels and window panels one after another, and opened their doors to prepare for business.

    The inn was even more noisy. Group after group of refugees wearing shabby cloaks of various colors, carrying packages of all sizes, walked towards the river in groups.

    There was also a big bald man standing in the middle of the road, yelling non-stop, urging the migrant workers under him not to be lazy, to bring their tools and assemble quickly, and threatened that if they could not pull back enough steel bars today, there would be no dinner.

    Obviously, this guy is a foreman who recycles scrap steel. Instead of looking for valuable materials in the ruins, he and the refugees he hired went to the edge of the ruins to pick up rubbish and demolished houses to collect scrap steel bars.

    Although this kind of work has very low income and can barely maintain food and drink, it is the first choice of many refugees.  They don't have the ability or the guts to find valuable supplies from the pile of zombies, they can only do this kind of work, and they can't wait to starve to death.

    This made Hong Tao heave a sigh of relief. I came late yesterday, and I really didn't know that there were more than 300 people living in the hotel on this street.  If they all went to the city of Korla to search for treasures, then I didn't plan to get close to them, because there are too many people and accidents may happen.

    Hong Tao was not in a hurry to cross the river, he just sat in the corner and watched the old blacksmith repair the traps.  He is not in a hurry, there is no need to compete with so many people to board the boat.  There is only one small iron boat by the river, which can transport twenty or thirty people at one time.  My two horses have to occupy half of the space, and I will probably be scolded if I go there.

    Just in time, let's eat breakfast during this time. Most of the refugees obviously don't have breakfast, so they can't be too ostentatious, they have to hide in their cloaks and eat secretly.

    "Wow" I just took a bite of the compressed biscuit and was about to touch the kettle, but the water fell from the sky and it was still warm.  This head and face ticked down along the snow mirror.

    "Ah" Someone whispered at the door of the hotel, and the black shadow disappeared in a flash.

    "Fuck, I'm already Yuluo, and someone dares to splash footwashing water, I really don't know how to write the word "death!" The other party blinked quickly, and Hong Tao's small eyes looked even faster.  That guy was holding a copper basin in his hand, even if it wasn't for the footwashing water, it would definitely not be very clean.

    "Brother, brother, I'm really sorry. My companion just woke up and his eyes haven't opened yet. I really didn't see it and it wasn't intentional. So, how about I invite you for breakfast?"

    Just when Hong Tao got up and was about to go to the store to ask who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, a short-haired man walked out of the hotel quickly, and came to him, apologizing and making amends.  Seeing that Hong Tao was holding half a piece of wet compressed biscuit in his hand, he quickly took out a packaged biscuit from his arms and handed it over.

    "If you, friend, don't get rid of the problems of orchid fingers, eating slowly and washing your face with warm water, you will be unlucky sooner or later."

    Hong Tao didn't take the compressed biscuit, and threw half of the biscuit in his hand into the stable, picked up the parcel and saddlebag and left.  While the two of them were staggering, they whispered something in the man's ear, and didn't even look at the guy standing a few meters away with his head down.

    Apologies, this is the old man who stood on the table last night to persuade everyone not to fight and hurt others, and was identified by the hotel owner as a rebel.  It should not look that old, but there are a lot of wrinkles on the face and gray hair.  Maybe it's because I didn't rush to put on my glasses when I got up in the morning, but the indentations on both sides of the bridge of the nose are quite obvious.

    And splashing water on yourself, now standing far behind and pretending to be oldA real guy is a woman who is seen through by him.  This guy really doesn't know how to live or die, he washes his face with warm water in the morning, why don't he take a bath.

    It is good for the refugees to wash their faces with river water every day, and it is very particular for those who take a bath in the river for half a month.  Even the refugees in the Yining settlement do not dare to live such a luxurious life. Those who can develop this habit cannot be said to be 100% not refugees, but it also adds doubts out of thin air.

    Originally, I didn't need to warn them, but I just killed people for this matter last night. If they don't restrain themselves and continue to expose, they will be finally caught by the spies of the Ascetic Society.  bullet.

    The people in the blacksmith shop are very diligent and trustworthy. Now that the cigarettes have been collected, the first job in the morning is to repair Hong Tao's animal trap first. The three of them rattled each other and quickly replaced the spring.  up.

    But when Hong Tao left the hotel with his horse and walked to the ferry by the river, he found that those five people were standing on the pier. The ferry came back after standing for about 20 minutes. The five people waited for Hong Tao to get on the horse and the boat followed them.  come up.

    "Brother, can we discuss something?" The man wearing glasses lifted his hood and came over to offer a cigarette.

    "No" Facing such a weird thing, Hong Tao didn't even hide it, and just opened his eyes and told nonsense.  When he first came to the pier, he was clearly smoking a cigarette, and now he said this to remind the other party: I am very vigilant, and I don¡¯t like you, so don¡¯t make yourself uncomfortable.

    "" The man wearing glasses didn't speak any more, and waited until the boat reached the other side, and after everyone had walked a few hundred meters, there was no one around before blocking Hong Tao again.

    "We are going to the west. There is a person whose body is not suitable for long-distance travel. He wants to hire you and your horse. What price is suitable?"

    Hong Tao has been standing still by the river since he got off the boat, wanting to wait for these five people to come to the front.  He now has two pistols with their safety on, with a total of 27 rounds in their magazines.

    There are two horses as a cover, and the odds of winning in 5 short periods of time are 50 to 50.  If a confrontation can be formed and he is not seriously injured, the odds of winning can be increased to 80%. At that time, automatic rifles and grenades can come in handy.

    "Hire or rob?" The 50% chance is not too low, and Hong Tao is very confident.

    "Only the two of us, they will take the route to the south, there is no possibility of snatching." The man with glasses smiled and waved his hands slightly to the back. The two strong men led the thinner man slowly toward  Walking to the south, only the suspected woman did not move.

    "Aren't you afraid that I'll turn my back halfway and take her away and sell her? If I'm right, she's not very old, and selling her to the penance church will definitely pay more than you gave me." This made Hong Tao a little uncomfortable.  I understand, if there is still hope of winning with five people, wouldn't the winning rate be even lower with only two left now.

    Don't even think about tracking. From here, no matter whether you go south or west, there is a flat river. There is no terrain to use. It is only a few kilometers away with the naked eye. How can you follow it?

    Follow the traces?  What I think is that I have watched too many movies, and it might be okay to play this set in the forest, but it is a joke in the terrain where the wetland, the next door, and the desert interact.

    Although there has been more precipitation in recent years and some vegetation has grown, the desert has not yet become an oasis.  There is no need for strong winds, and the sky can be filled with dust at levels three or four. Even if you walk on stilts and deliberately leave a small hole, it will be covered up in a blink of an eye.  </div&gt
