Among the five people, Hao Jian, Lian Runing, Xin Ting, Peng Mao and Shi Gongzhui, Shi Gongzhui is definitely the best in terms of strength. Hao Jian wins in agile mind, quick response and well-informed, training Runing's physical ability, etc. In all aspects, she can be regarded as moderate, but she can bear hardships and stand hard work, will not give up easily, and can quickly grow up to face the things she fears.
In addition to being a bit like an embroidered pillow, Peng Mao can be quite scary on the outside, and now he can deal with zombies alone, plus he looks stupid, but he actually has his own ideas, although he may not be able to help Hao Jian and the others , but it won't hold back either.
Therefore, in the group, Xin Ting will be relatively weak, her biggest weakness is not only lack of strength, but also cowardice. In addition, she was just out of school for an internship, so her mind was simple.
Later, after she developed her own courage, she could also use her own strength to deal with one or two zombies, but it was easy for people to think that she was weak, and the reason was her innocence.
So when she discovered the anomaly through her own observation and kept it secret, and then consulted with someone she thought was reliable, she had invisibly raised her vigilance and had independent thinking.
Although Hao Jian agreed that they were her companions, she never thought of tying everyone together to act together anytime, anywhere. What she hoped was that even after their respective actions, they would still have the ability to survive alone.

Xin Ting was still waiting for Hao Jian's answer. And Hao Jian said, "Let's go, go first."
Xin Ting asked in confusion, "Could it be that you just leave Shi Gongzhui alone?"
"Not really, but there are some things I might let you know."
Xin Ting followed Hao Jian back, while Shi Gongzhui was digging out a rare machine from the factory. The machine had a sharp gear disc at one end, and behind the long rod was a machine similar to a generator, but it was far less like a generator. Big and bulky.
"Classmate Lian, do you see what I found?!" Shi Gongzhui asked Lian Runing to show the dusty machine.
Lian Runing was slightly ashamed: "What is this? I don't think I've seen it before, but it looks a bit like a lawn mower."
"It's called—" Shi Gongzhui sold a pass, and Peng Mao leaned over to look at it for a while and said, "Isn't this what the rice cutter is!"
Lian Runing was slightly surprised: "But isn't the rice harvester the kind that is on?"
"Hey, a machine of that size is only suitable for working in vast and flat places, like our mountainous place, or the terraced fields of Huang Yueming's house. It is most suitable to use this kind of machine operated by one person."
"Long experience."
Just as she was talking, Hao Jian and Xin Ting came back. Lian Runing saw that one of them was looking as usual, while the other was frowning a little bit. She was stunned for a moment, wondering if she was thinking wrong? Because Xin Ting's appearance is clearly not sad.
Shi Gongzhui didn't care about them, but said cheerfully: "The full name of this thing is 'Knapsack Gasoline Rice Cutter', that is, after adding gasoline, put your back behind your back, and press the switch to make the gear end rotate at high speed. The purpose of cutting."
Peng Mao suddenly became interested: "This is good, with this, isn't cutting zombies the same as cutting vegetables? It is more suitable for this kind of place than a chainsaw! Not to mention we have gasoline! But it can still be used. ?"
"You'll find out after trying it out later." Shi Gongzhui looked at Xin Ting, "This is suitable for Xin Ting."
When Xin Ting was named by him, she panicked and turned to look at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian smiled and said, "Foreman, did you do something shameful today?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their gazes shifted between Hao Jian and Shi Gongzhui.
Xin Ting didn't expect Hao Jian to have a showdown so soon. She bit her lower lip, gathered up her courage, and stood up to tell what she saw today.
Hearing this, Peng Mao opened his eyes wide, and his eyes looking at Shi Gongyu became vigilant.
Shi Gongzhui did not change his face: "You are wrong."
"I read it right, I don't understand the code, but I still know the Chinese characters on it!" Xin Ting firmly said.
"Xiaoting won't lie to people for no reason. The foreman, if you don't Shi Gongzhui, you can't actually recruit them?!" Peng Mao aimed the rice cutter in his hand at Shi Gongzhui.
Shi Gongzhui glanced at Hao Jian, and then resignedly gave up resistance: "Okay, I did edit what Hao Jian said and sent it out, but I didn't send it to 'Wugui' or some evil organization. , I passed it on to the town government at the hot spring resort."
Peng Mao and Xin Ting were both stunned, Lian Runing also looked at Hao Jian in confusion, the latter smiled at her and motioned her to continue listening.
Its implementation Gong Wei, like Hao Jian, is a member of the "special response team", but the difference between him and Hao Jian is that he is a "regular worker", while Hao Jian is only a "temporary worker".
When he bought those devices, he had already attracted the attention of officials, who had been undercover investigations of him. In view of his ability to play a huge role, and after the zombie virus gradually became uncontrollable, the government needed capable people to become foreign aid, so he was invited by the security department to drink tea.
The "Special Response Team" was established at that time, mainly to absorb ordinary people, but people with skills.
More than 20 people of different identities, including Shi Gongzhui, joined the "special response team" organized by the official organization. After more than a month of training and political-examination, they became "regular workers".
Later, when the zombie level 3 broke out, he returned to the villa in his hometown to stand by. During this period, in order not to reveal his identity, the official did not contact him. Until Hao Jian and others came, he sent some messages under the guise of Lian Ru Ning's hand to let the officials notice him and get in touch with him again.
Of course, he didn't say these things. After all, if his identity was exposed, it would still be very dangerous.
As for Hao Jian's identity, he didn't know it at first. Later, after the "ambush operation" of the escort team, he realized something, but he never asked Hao Jian to confirm it. He is "dividing" them.
Therefore, Peng Mao and Xin Ting only thought that Shi Gongzhui was forced to be the official messenger after he was caught by the official eavesdropping on official secrets.
That's why Hu Dan didn't confiscate all his equipment.
Of course, what he didn't say was that he didn't want his equipment to fall into the hands of others, so he chose to hand it over to the escort. After confirming that there were no traitors among Hu Dan's gang, he asked the escort's professionals to encrypt the devices.
And he left some light equipment, which is enough for him to be a communication between officials within a certain range, so as to perform his duties. At the same time, he also got some communication keys, otherwise he would not be able to control the broadcasting systems in some public places so easily.
Of course, whether the town government over the hot spring resort has "no blame" is not within the scope of Shi Gongtai's consideration. He still has more important tasks to return to the headquarters of the "Special Response Team" in Xiang City. reported and communicated later.
Hao Jian confirmed Shi Gongzhui's identity at the Heshui Hydropower Station, otherwise she wouldn't talk about important matters in front of him anyway.
Just as Lian Runing didn't know the identity of Shi Gongzhui at first, until after the "ambush operation" launched by the Xinghua City Guards, they separated. Hao Jian told her that Peng Mao and the others had Shi Gongzhui there, so she didn't need to. Worry.
From then on, she vaguely understood Shi Gongzhui's identity: if Hao Jian could go from suspicion at the beginning to trust now, his identity must belong to Wei Guangzheng.

Peng Mao and Xin Ting were both slightly shocked after hearing that Shi Gongzhui was working for the guards. No wonder Shi Gongzhui took back the equipment from the guards so easily. No wonder he always held a pile of Equipment tinkering...
Xin Ting was even more ashamed: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"
Shi Gongzhui rubbed his hands together and smiled slyly: "Sister Xin, if you really feel bad about it, don't call me the foreman, call me Lao Gong!"
Peng Mao hurriedly stood in front of Xin Ting. After questioning, entangled, and shocked after knowing the truth, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when facing Shi Gongzhui, he spoke even more rudely: "I thought you joined the guard. Team, but if you think about it carefully, it’s no wonder that you can join the escort team! But even if you are an official temporary worker, this is not the reason why you can make progress! Take advantage of Xiaoting less.”
Shi Gongzhui pouted: "How can this be considered an advantage? I am such an upright person!"
"...Why do I have such doubts about how short-sighted the officials are to find you?"
"Don't mind. After all, he is sneaky, and if he doesn't know the truth, he is indeed suspicious. If you can spot his little actions, it shows that you are doing well." Hao Jian encouraged Xin Ting again.
Peng Mao asked, "Hao Jian, did you know his identity for a long time? You hide it so deeply!"
"After all, he is helping the official run errands. These things can't be said casually. After I learned about it by accident, I was told a lot."
This "unintentional", Peng Mao believes that it is very likely that Hu Dan told her. He sighed again that Hao Jian could really be said to be a "know-it-all", and that he really couldn't hide anything from her.
He thought about it again, and even Lian Runing didn't know about it. It could be seen that it was not because Hao Jian didn't trust them, but he felt a lot better.
Xin Ting was also very disturbed because she misunderstood Shi Gongzhui. Shi Gongzhui advised her not to care. She replied, but she was still a little absent-minded. For this reason, Shi Gongzhui handed over the rice cutter he had found. Give it to her, saying: "Fix this thing, it belongs to you!"
"But I can only repair cars." Xin Ting said.
"The car and this thing both use gasoline, aren't they essentially the same!"
"..." Xin Ting had no choice but to carry the rice cutter to the side to ponder.
Peng Mao leaned over to Shi Gongwei's side: "Then why are you returning to Xiangshi?"
If Shi Gongzhui was running errands for the official, then his reason for returning to Xiangshi would not be credible. Hao Jian and the others didn't ask, but he suddenly thought of it. If he didn't ask clearly, and let the question keep in his mind, he would be particularly uncomfortable.
Shi Gongzhui said: "This is a secret, how can I tell you!"
Peng Mao thought about it carefully, and this is indeed the case. but…
"As we said at the beginning, we're just taking you to Xiangshi on the way, but we're not responsible for breaking through the encirclement and entering the city center with you!"
They are already very close to the boundary of Xiangshi. If there is no accident, they may be there tomorrow, so it is necessary for Peng Mao to remind Shi Gongzhui of some words.
Upon hearing this, Shi Gongzhui exclaimed, "How could you treat me like this? You brought me here, so why don't you continue to be responsible to the end? We have gone through so many things, how can you say that you will leave me alone? What about leaving me? You really have no conscience!"
Peng Mao's goosebumps fell, especially after receiving the ambiguous glances from the other three girls, he exploded: "Fuck off, I'm a straight man of steel, I only like girls, if you say that again, I won't even bother. You can't believe it or not!"
Shi Gongzhui covered his trousers-crotch: "I heard that the fitness coaches are all angry with Kiriki, I thought you like this one."
"Okay, it's time to assign work." Hao Jian said, turning her head to look at Shi Gongzhui, "But Peng Mao is right, you have to part ways with us after tomorrow, after all, before we finish our business, I don't want to add so much uncertainty."
"Don't, my good classmate! You are really my good classmate. Just do me a favor and take me to the administrative building of the Hong Kong Municipal Government."
“…I don’t have to look at a map to know this place is in the city center.”
Lian Runing suddenly said: "Actually, it seems that it is not impossible, because the Dongjiang water system is a branch that flows from Xinghua City through Chengxiang and Xiangshi and then joins the sea. We can go to the town on the Dongjiang River and find a boat. The boat goes straight over. Since the zombies can't swim, the waterway is a relatively safe way."
If it was before, Lian Runing would not have thought of such a method. Later, when she met Ding Gu Nian's group, she recalled the water system in Nanfang City, Xiangshi and other cities.
As far as the Dongjiang River is concerned, after leaving the mountainous area of Chengxiang, there will be no more dams in the lower reaches of the river, so it is feasible to take a boat!
"The question is, where can I find the boat?"
