Early the next morning, Liu Chang and others were already on their way.
The group that went to Beijing this time consisted of seven people—Liu Chang, Lei Huo, old Liu Xiaojing, and the eldest, second, and third. After sending off the American envoy yesterday, several people set out on the road early this morning. They would have been ready to go even last night if it wasn't for some weapons and food and luggage.
"Why do you have to bring the three of us with you?" Running in the frozen jungle, the boss asked suspiciously: "It stands to reason that the three of us have no effect on this operation."
This time everyone was going to deal with Li Qingshui, and if they met, they would probably have to use force to join forces. In this case, the boss, the second, and the third were really of little use.
"It's certainly useful to bring you along." Regarding the boss's question, Liu Chang answered ambiguously, "I don't want to tell you the specific reason, because I am afraid that too many people will know, and too many sources of information will be leaked, and it will be counted by the current Li Qingshui. to what?"
"Well, don't let him talk about it." Lao Liu also nodded, "Liu Chang is a prudent person, and he will not do things rashly."
"Yeah." The boss nodded, and stopped asking, and everyone entered the time to hurry.
From Jinan to Beijing, when there were expressways in the past, it usually took about five hours to drive. And Liu Chang and others set off at three o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the edge of Beijing at noon.
After approaching the city of Beijing, Lei Huo put down the three children he was carrying, and Liu Chang also put down Xiao Jing who was carrying him, took a few breaths and rested for a while.
"Did you feel Li Qingshui's presence?" Old Liu asked out of breath—although the two people in front were running with heavy loads, but because of the difference in physical fitness, it was still very hard for him to follow along the way.
"Well, it's right in the middle of the city, next to the research institute." The current political core of Beijing City has been moving closer to the research institute since the end of the day. Therefore, those who really control power also live around the research institute. and life.
Because Lao Liu was once the core figure of power in Beijing, he knew the layout of that area very well.
"The institute is surrounded by the Great Hall. Now that the organizational structure has been changed, it is still the core for discussing the future. I think Li Qingshui should be there."
"Well, then we'll go directly to him." Liu Chang nodded.
"Won't you fight?" Old Liu felt a little inappropriate after hearing Liu Chang's suggestion, "It's definitely not a good idea to fight in the research institute in Beijing. After all, it is the crystallization of the hard work of many people in China. Li Qingshui has already lost a lot of scientific crystallization in the sabotage last time, if he does it again this time, will the loss be too heavy?"
"Don't worry, there won't be a fight." Liu Chang rubbed his brain that had been swollen after absorbing the consciousness of the clone, "We didn't go there to oppose his voice, didn't he want to launch a coup? We After you go, just support it!"
Liu Chang only said such a sentence, but Lao Liu was so smart that he nodded immediately.
"Well, it's reliable to do so!"
After making up their minds, a few people went straight to the direction of the Inner City Research Institute—all the way, after entering the city, Liu Chang found that the situation in Beijing was much better than when he left. Many people have adapted to the temperature here, and the cockroaches and flies no longer exist. Apart from the solid ice, the snow has also been cleared away. People are busy with something, distributing the seeds in their hands one by one.
"It should be something made by Li Qingshui, or it should be something brought over from the willow tree." When Liu Chang glanced at the light green seeds in the hands of the passing crowd, he smelled the willow tree smell from inside. "It seems that Liu Shu has been prepared for a long time. I said that he has been in peace for so long, and your old Liu knows the existence of Dead Night. How could he not be prepared at all?"
"Well, for the current city, whoever can solve the hunger and cold is naturally the spiritual leader. This is more effective than words." After the boss got off the ground, he also glanced at the surrounding crowd, "especially It's the army, and if you don't give food, you won't be able to appease anyone. If you have food, you basically have the military power in your hands!"
When the boss was talking, he saw groups of soldiers gathering and passing by on the street—obviously they were carrying out some kind of order.
There are seven major military regions in China, and 80% of the country's armed forces are within these seven major military regions. Jinan is one, and Beijing is naturally the leader. The human army, after the end of the world, has been greatly reduced due to vision and communication problems, but it is still the top armed force in the world. Apart from being weak against abnormalities like Li Qingshui, he was very powerful against any other mutant creatures.
Even Li Qingshui, the most powerful individual other than the willow tree, who is a "super transforming life", was still powerless in the face of the armed forces that had truly opened their horizons when they were in the Jinan Military Region.
Therefore, sometimes quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, which can also be used here.
"Is Li Qingshui asking people from the Beijing Military Region to help Liu Shu?" The boss looked at the anxious soldiers around him and said, "Maybe there will be some rumors about people from the sea invading China? By the way, if we arrange the American Things, maybe really can incite the grassroots of the army?"
"It's not that easy to handle. People are not fools. Even soldiers don't want to leave the city, cross several provinces, and hunt down those who work hard at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, there are no pictures or information now. Li Qingshui wants others to It’s not easy to believe his story.” The second child said, “Anyway, let’s go and have a look first.”
After saying this, everyone quickened their pace.
Walking through the streets of Beijing all the way to the great hall next to the Institute—the guard in his hand looked at Old Liu—and immediately showed a different look on his face.
"Chief, you are back!" Lao Liu has been in Beijing for nearly five years, and even before the end of the day, he was a native of Beijing—and after the end of the day, through his own efforts and wisdom, as well as the influence of the research institute, he is here It can be said that its influence is deeply rooted, and its reputation is also very high.
"Yeah." Seeing that the guard recognized him, Lao Liu nodded without any surprise, and then asked the knife knowingly: "Who is in the meeting?"
"It's Mr. Li, Mr. Li from the research institute. The research institute was destroyed by unknown personnel earlier, and almost all the researchers at the main research institute died. Everyone thought that Mr. Li was also dead, but it turned out that he appeared intact a few days ago. , and came to bring frozen food seeds."
