Chapter 49: CH 48

“What? You actually installed a wiretap?!” Peng Mao jumped. As if being peeped at wasn’t enough, he also eavesdropped on their conversation. Is there any privacy?

Shi Gong Dui glanced at Hao Jian, “Didn’t you guys find out long ago?!”

Hao Jian hooked her lips, “It’s not a bad thing to keep an eye out.”

“You exposed yourself just to test us, is that okay?” Lian Ru Ning asked.

“I was already sure that you guys weren’t with that group of people before I tested you. If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have let you know what I was doing.” Shi Gong Dui replied.

“Then it seems that you said that the people in towns and villages spontaneously organized themselves to clean up the zombies and create a paradise is also fake? You knew who set up the roadblocks and you also knew that they said they set up the roadblocks to prevent outsiders from carrying the virus in. But in fact, it’s to prevent any more military personnel from coming in and support the soldiers! As long as the military doesn’t come, then they will have the final say in Xinghua City.” Hao Jian said.

“It’s not a lie. Just like the people in the refuge base are being used the people in the towns and those people have reached an agreement. In order to survive, it’s normal to know the current affairs.”

Hao Jian sneered, “You didn’t say the truth before, are you not afraid that we’ll go to the refuge base after listening to you?”

Shi Gong Dui muttered, “I think you came from a different place and it’s not like you need to go to the refuge base to seek refuge. . . besides, I’m not familiar with you. What does it matter to me whether you go to the refuge base or not?”

He was acting normal, so Lian Ru Ning asked, “Then why are you willing to tell us now?”

“Because you’re not bad people. You didn’t rob me of my food and didn’t hurt my life. If you ran into the zombie nest because of me, I would be uneasy.”

As for why Shi Gong Dui wasn’t willing to help Hao Jian contact the government, he also had his own concerns,

“I always thought that those people who went to get food lost contact because they were attacked by zombies on the way and were killed, but after the panic at the airport refuge base that was caused by the ‘no food’ rumor, I think things aren’t that simple.

The escort team had said that their communications were bugged and it was unlikely that they were referring to me, because although I bugged them, I didn’t use their bandwidth, so it would be someone else that bugged them and accidentally used the government’s bandwidth which they found out.

Finally, since I can eavesdrop on the military’s communications, others have the same means to detect me contacting the government. If they knew my existence, I don’t even know how I’ll die!”

Although he didn’t let the officials trace his IP for the time being, this matter will still be found out sooner or later. Those people will also know his existence sooner or later and come at his door, then it will be difficult for him to leave again.

Hao Jian didn’t show her attitude, but still asked, “The place you’re going, why in Xiang City?”

Shi Gong Dui said that is was because he initially believed in eschatology, but the people in the forums also seriously discussed the issue regarding survival supplies.

Under the impulse to rely on his inheritance a litt le more, even if he spends a few million, the remaining assets will continue to be invested so there won’t be any loss at all, then he really began to purchase supplies.

He initially didn’t consider the long uninhabited house in the city, but then he remembered the saying, ‘a cunning rabbit has three caves.’ He couldn’t put all his hopes here, so six months ago, he began to hoard a bunch of things and placed it there one after another.

He thought that his parents don’t often return there so he hid things there in the name of renovation to not attract any attention. When the once-a-week nanny was also driven away, he also changed the lock.

The reason why he didn’t rent the house was because if he didn’t live there at all, it will provoke suspicion.

During that time, he went out particularly often. His parents thought that he had become enlightened, but it turned out that he went out to stockpile a lot of supplies and made them mad. They thought that he had gone out frequently just to do these things.

After the end of the world, his thoughts are also simple. There is enough food for him to eat for several years in there anyway. Until then, the zombies may be gone. If this place unfortunately falls, he still has food in Xiang City, right?

Besides, if someone accidentally pryed the door and found those supplies, he also considers it that he has done a good think and doesn’t think it would be too bad.

However. . .

“Your home is in the city,” Hao Jian reminded.

“There are especially many zombies in the urban areas. You can’t break through.” Xin Ting added.

Although Lian Ru Ning felt that it was also quite difficult for her to return to the Southern CIty, she still kindly reminded Shi Gong Dui, “The situation outside is not as good as you imagined. You should be mentally prepared.”

Shi Gong Dui said, ” I know, but although my house is in the urab area, the downtown area of Xiang City is actually an oldy city that was developed at the beginning and it’s a bit behind than the emerging districts, so I think the danger shouldn’t be that great.”

“That won’t work either.” Hao Jian objected.

Shi Gong Dui glared at her, a little annoyed, “I have told you everything I know. I even shared my own observations to you, why are you still not willing to believe me?”

“This big brother, it’s not that we’re unwilling to believe you, but. . . how long have you not bather? Our car is small and can’t accommodate you. Of course, you can sit on the roof if you can, it just so happens that we can use the natural fresh air to help you dissipate the smell.”

Shi Gong Dui smelled himself, only to smell a sour odor. He thought about it and in the past few days, in order to keep people from finding out that he lives here, he didn’t open and fans or turn on the air conditioning. . .

“I’m going to take a shower right away. I’ll clean myself up, It should be fine, right?”

Shi Gong Dui immediately ran upstairs, turning his head upon arrive at the corner and stared at Hao Jian and the others, “You keep your word, don’t leave me behind and run away!”

When he went upstairs, Lian Ru Ning saw Hao Jian walking out so she followed her out, “Do you really believe him?”

Hao Jian used the cloth she took from the house to clean the water stains on the driver’s seat and checked the car from the inside out, sniffed, and said, “I checked before, he does have those devices in his room, but i only believe 50% of his words.”

Fifty percent is already a lot.

Shi Gong Dui was different from Xin Ting and Peng Mao, he knew too much and hid too much at first, so no matter how much truth he told, Hao Jian wouldn’t trust him completely.

She and Lian Ru Ning are both people who have experienced the ‘Conference Center Incdent’in Jiang City, and they also me that ‘Wugui’ which was originally a pyramid scheme, now has t he ambition to seize power.

Their key members and followers are a group of people who have no moral bottom line, so no can predict what kind of cruel things they can and will do.

There will be more ambitious people like them who want to take advantage of the chaos and make a fortune with no regard to morality and law.

So even though what happened at the airport in Xinghua city was probably not done by ‘Wugui’. there are already people who have the idea of controlling Xinghua City. They plan to take advantage of the chaos outside since the government wouldn’t have time to control them, so they planned to dominate here.

The military members in Xinghua City will only be less than in Jiang City, and if there’s only one refuge base at the airport, their target of attack will also be more concentrated.

“Those of Shi Gong Dui are flawless, but according to him, he received the news that the escort team members who transported food lost contact on August 1. Do you remember what happened that day?” Hao Jian asked.

Lian Ru Ning thought for a moment, “That day, we just arrived at Jianxin island refuge base in Jiang CIty, and according to what Chen Zhao said later on, it was also the day that something happened at the Civic Park and Convetion Center.”

“Yes, we know nothing about whether the incident at Xinghua City airport refuge base was done by ‘Wugui’ or other people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize power, but based on how those people at the airport refuge base operate, it is highly likely that it’s the handiwork of ‘Wugui’.

“If it was done by ‘Wugui’, then was the date of this accident because of coincidence, or because they had agreed on it? If it wasn’t coincidence, then what did they rely on to contact each other in order to achieve synchronization?”

In terms of the timeline, on August 1, the military in Xinghua City found out that they lost contact with the food transport team, and the evacuation base on Jiang City Convention Center lost contact. On August 2, the same incident happened in the evacuation base in Xinghua City Airport just like what happened in Civic Park and Convention Center in Jiang City.

Although what happened on the two cities happened on the same day, but according to the order of events, the Conference Center in Jiang City was occupied first before the incident in the airport refuge base in Xinghua city occurred.

Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning thought of the same thing, “This can’t be a coincidence. Why didn’t the same incident of the losing contact with the food transport team happen before the incident in the Convention Center in Jiang City?”

Hao Jian personally guessed that it was because there were traitors in the military team in Jiang City, and because of the role of the traitors, it allowed the ‘Wugui’ to skip the step in hijacking the food transport team.”

Then relatively, they can at least be sure that there is no traitor in the military team in Xinghua CIty.

However, if the operation of the food transportation team in Xinghua City was leaked, either the government’s communication was bugged – as was the case according to Shi Gong Dui – or there was a key member of ‘Wugui’ that is in the upper echelon of the government’s hierarchy, and this upper echelon directly contacted the traitors of the escort team in Jiang City and the members of ‘Wugui’ in Xinghua City.

“To be able to plan such a big event, it must be more than just the cooperation sought between the two ‘Wugui’ small sects. There should be someone from the top that holds the unified command.”

“But didn’t the ‘Xiangshu’ Lei Mu of the Jiang City’s small branch religion say that he wasn’t taken seriously in the first place, so he came up with that kind of method?” Lian Ru Ning was a little puzzled.

“COmined with what happened here, he should not have spilled the whole truth. he is most likely hiding his superiors.”

On August 2, the escort team of Xinghua City had sent a warning tot he neighboring cities, namely Jiang CIty and Chengxiang. But at the time, the communications have already fallen in the Conference Center, so neither Yu Jiyou nor the commander of the Jiangxin island refuge base Yi Gao knew that something had happened in Xinghua City.

When the matter of the conference center was resolved, the military in Xinghua City couldn’t be contacted instead.

Lian Ru Ning sighed, “It would be good if we could contact commander Yi Gao. We could inform them of what happened here.”

Seeing her worried face, Hao Jian couldn’t help but lightly laugh and touch the tip of Lian Ru Ning’s nose, “All of this speculation is based on the fact whether Shi Gong Dui is telling the truth. Let’s just believe that he’s telling the truth, but don’t forget that Yi Gao and An Minghui are not green.”

Hao Jian’s actions was subconscious, but Lian Ru Ning froze and her eyes stared at her unblinkingly.

“What?” Hao Jian looked back at her.

The moment their eyes met, both of their hearts pounded for a moment.

Worried that the other party might see what she was thinking, Lian Ru Ning hastily shifted her gaze, “Nothing. Tell mem what do you think about Shi Gong Dui?”

However, Hao Jian still stared at her. She even tilted her head, looking for Lian Ru Ning’s gaze again.

“My opinion of him? His words are flawless and his ability is too outstanding, so I don’t dare to trust him completely. He could be an ‘electronic information engineer’ as he calls himself, or he could also be one of those people who are responsible for monitoring government communications and passing messages to them as a spy.”

“Then why bring him along?” Lian Ru Ning felt that with Hao Jian’s personality, if the other party did not gain her trust and had no use, she wouldn’t keep such a person.

“Whether he’s a human or a ghost, we’ll know when we take a look. And since he can debug communication devices, then we can ask him to help us hack the university town’s education system and check if your parents have logged into the school’s system during the zombie virus outbreak when we get to Southern City. . .”

Lian Ru Ning’s eyes narrowed and immediately revealed a touch of brilliance. She didn’t think to this level at all, but. . .

“He’s going to Xiang City. Is he willing to come with us to Southern City?”

Hao Jian looked at her and revealed a cunning smile, “Since he voluntarily got into my car, is it sill up to him to decide where he would go?”

“. . .” Lian Ru Ning thought secretly, thinking that Hao Jian is so domineering, but why does she feel some inexplicable joy?

It seems that she has also ‘turned bad’ in the apocalypse.
