Chapter 574 Cross-examination

18days ago Science fiction 8
There are dangers everywhere in this end of the world, and survivors who survive by chance will naturally be very cautious about strangers.

Since Cheng Zijie was planning to show up, he was certainly ready to be interrogated and replied calmly: I am from Haiyuan and I am living in Shuanghe now

The young man stared at Cheng Zijie tightly, as if he wanted to force him to reveal his flaws with his eyes.

Cheng Zijie observed them calmly, trying to see from his appearance what kind of people they were.

Shuanghe Ah... a good place... is it easy to live now? The young man maintained a kind of polite manner and continued to ask: "My fellow villager's surname is not close to here. Now the world is full of dangers. It is not easy for fellow villager to run so far alone. Where are you planning to go? What are you doing?

I can't say what I want to do. Cheng Zijie shook his head and said: I just want to find out if anyone else survives. If there is, see if I can establish a connection, work together in the future and help each other. After all, in this world, life in a single place is quite difficult.

Well... The young man pondered, his expression a little confused

Cheng Zijie was thinking about how to ask the most naturally whether there were zombies nearby. The young man suddenly shouted: Catch it

Even Cheng Zijie was caught off guard and was shocked

These armed personnel were well-trained. As soon as the young man ordered, they all raised their guns and surrounded Cheng Zijie tightly. Their movements were swift and neat, which made Cheng Zijie feel a little amazed.

After a brief shock, Cheng Zijie has seen many strong winds and waves after all, and quickly recovered from calmness. He raised his hands and signaled that he would not resist.

At the same time, he asked strangely: I'm crossing the road, why do you catch me?

The young man laughed a little proudly, shook his head and replied disdainfully: Why? You know it yourself. After saying that, you turned around to face the town, intending to take steps: Humph, he was full of lies, and he was suspicious and took his weapon back. He waited for Mayor Wang to come back from the county to handle the matter.

His two subordinates agreed loudly, stepped forward and took Cheng Zijie's shotgun, axe, and a bag containing some grenades without saying a word, and didn't even let the short knife go

Cheng Zijie still did not resist. Firstly, it was because he was pointed at a close distance by several rifles, so there was no need to risk being hit. Secondly, it was because the words of the young man attracted his interest.

In his words, he mentioned that there is a mayor in this town, instead of titles such as boss or head of the house, which seems very formal

The mayor is going to work in the county, which proves that all the county should have established a unified multi-level management agency and a complete administrative system.

What is the situation here?

It was still early, so Cheng Zijie decided to go and see it with them.

When he needs to escape, he believes in his ability. No matter how bad he is, he can still move out of his status as an army or naval colonel. The other party should not dare to do anything.

Despite this plan, Cheng Zijie still shouted: Why? I answered truthfully when you asked me, why did you arrest me? What power do you have to arrest passers-by?

The answer was true? The young man stopped, sneered and shook his head, and reached out to take the weapon of Cheng Zijie in his subordinates: You said you are a civilian, how can you explain this military standard shotgun? This is the latest shotgun. It cannot be these grenades you found from a county-level armed forces department. They are also equipment of the regular army. Even this axe is only available in the army. There is also the military satellite phone. As he said that, he pointed to the satellite phone on Cheng Zijie's back and ordered his subordinates: Get that out too

It seems that this young captain is probably a veteran and knows all about this.

Hearing this, the two armed personnel immediately took Cheng Zijie's satellite phone.

The young man did not give Cheng Zijie a chance to argue, took the satellite phone and continued to question: You said you came from Shuanghe, but unfortunately, Shuanghe is not this road. Ah, there is only one nuclear power plant on your way, and the ground is full of zombies. Then there is the road leading to Haiyuan City and Lianshan City. Are you alone, passing through Haiyuan City and Nuclear Power Plant to get here? You can see that you are very capable and calm, but this statement can't fool me

Cheng Zijie said speechless

He did not intend to deceive the other party's thoughts, so he did not carefully consider his words and answered the other party's questions casually, but the flaws were seen.

Of course, we can't blame the other party. If it were Cheng Zijie's own subordinates, they saw a person appearing near Shuanghe, with unknown origin and mysterious whereabouts. Once they asked, they would probably arrest him immediately.

Seeing Cheng Zijie silent, the young man became more determined to his opinion. He looked proud, but his tone suddenly became polite: This friend, I don’t know your origin. Whether you are a member of the army or an opponent of the army, I believe you have a reason to hide it. You don’t seem to be an ordinary person, and we have no intention of offending, but for our own safety, we need to investigate, so please cooperate, don’t act rashly when our mayor comes back, be sure that you have no malice, and you will naturally let you go.

What this young man said is reasonable and convincing

Cheng Zijie had to smile bitterly: Thank you, and followed the young captain to the town surrounded by the other party.

Along the way, many pedestrians who were coming and going stopped and looked at Cheng Zijie curiously. It seemed that there were few similar incidents here, which made people feel very new.

Cheng Zijie roughly estimated that there should be nearly a thousand survivors here, and compared with the towns in Shuanghe, it can be considered prosperous.

Cheng Zijie noticed one thing in particular: as far as he saw, the ratio of men and women here tends to be balanced, and there may be a little more women, but it is only a little more.

Soon, the group entered the town

Cheng Zijie saw from afar that on the way to the center of the town, four armed personnel guarded a simple brick and stone checkpoint.

The young captain signaled the team to stop from a distance, walked alone to the guards beside the checkpoint, gestured and explained, and turned back from time to time to point fingers at Cheng Zijie, obviously reporting about his situation.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Zijie naturally would not be polite and concentrated on listening to their conversation

Although the distance is far enough for ordinary people to be completely unrecognizable, the content of the conversation is still very clear to Cheng Zijie: ...I don't know where it comes from... I definitely didn't say what he said... But he didn't panic either... So maybe it was not for what we wanted to do... Be careful, ask the uncle to send two teams of people to his way to see... Is there any accomplices who are not good for us... Don't go far, at most two kilometers, leave a few secret whistles... Let others be more vigilant today, especially when it gets dark later... Be careful...

Cheng Zijie was still nervous when he heard that they were going to search for his way, but since the other party said that he would not go so far to the place where Shuguang hid, he felt relieved.

Hearing that the two of them were facing a great enemy, he apologized in his heart

It's really my purpose this time is incredible, not deliberately concealing it

It's better to cause a little tension than to cause panic

At the same time, the other party's reaction also made him a little confused: the lives of the residents here look very calm, not as if they were threatened, so why are they still so nervous about themselves, a passerby?

After the young captain and the guards finished their explanation, they quickly returned to Cheng Zijie and remained on the surface polite: This friend, please

Cheng Zijie followed him through the checkpoint under the gaze of several guards and came to a hotel.

The young captain took him straight into it, walked into a room, and said politely without any doubt: This friend, please wait for our mayor here. After that, without waiting for Cheng Zijie to answer, he ordered his subordinates: You two are in the house, you two are with this friend outside the door, be careful.

Knowing that the four guards who were pointed out to guard Cheng Zijie agreed solemnly

The young captain told Cheng Zizhi again: This friend, please do whatever you want, as long as your friend doesn't try to leave this room and attacks our people, you are safe. I'll send you tea and fruits. If your friend is tired, you can rest in bed.

This is not the first time Cheng Zijie was arrested, so he is not panicked at all, but his curiosity is even stronger.

So he smiled and thanked him. Looking at the bathroom in the guest room, he suddenly felt that his body was sticky, smelly and itchy, so he asked without hesitation: I can take a shower

The young captain looked at him in surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect that the guy younger than him in front of him was caught and imprisoned, but he still asked for a bath so calmly.

He has always been steady and capable, and seems to have finally felt a little frustrated for the first time, and he has not answered for a while.

Seeing this, Cheng Zijie smiled embarrassedly and said: Sorry, it was a hot day. I have been on the road for a whole day. It’s really uncomfortable and inconvenient. Forget it, please don’t be surprised.

The young captain came to his senses: Sorry, if we don’t have running water here, if our friend wants to take a shower, I will ask you to dig two buckets of water. After saying that, he turned to his subordinates and said to two of them: You go and dig two buckets of water for this friend.

Seeing the two of them taking the orders out, Cheng Zijie smiled and thanked: I'm working hard

The young captain nodded, returned to his calmness, and continued to ask: What else do you need, my friend?

Cheng Zijie shook his head repeatedly: No need, no thanks

The young captain seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and nodded to Cheng Zijie with relief: Since that's the case, my friend, please rest and say goodbye to me first.

Walking slowly Cheng Zijie watched him walk towards the door and asked: When will your mayor come back? How long will I wait?

I don't know the details, but I should come back within today. The young captain stood at the door and answered, then left the guest room directly
