Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 156
Everyone observed carefully and found that this is a wide square with many temporary tents set up on the ground, and the sound came from each tent.

It seems that because Tang Jiumin and others broke through the military blockade again and again, the temporary shelter was too late to move.And these survivors were notified and entered the tent in advance to hide.

Not far away, a group of special police officers were pointing guns at them, apparently stationed here.

Tang Jiumin believed that as long as they dared to get out of the car, the other party would shoot immediately.

Sitting in the car, Tang Jiumin shouted to the outside:
"If I were you, I wouldn't point my gun at this side, because there are still hostages in our car! On the contrary, you don't have anything to make me afraid. If you are in a hurry, you will be buried in a shelter!"

"You guys have to think about it! Put down the gun! We can let you go safely!"

"Because the military has repeatedly betrayed the water and has no credibility at all, we need survivors as hostages next. As long as the military does not go back on its word and plot against us, then no one including the survivors will have to die!"

After Tang Jiumin's voice fell, he found that the leading special police officer picked up the communicator to communicate. I don't know what instructions the military gave, but he saw the other party raised his hand, and the rest put down their weapons together.

The two sides looked at each other, each on guard.

Then, the leading SWAT officer took out a file from his backpack, raised his hands, and slowly approached while talking.

"I don't have a weapon on me, you can take a look at this document in my hand."

Finally, the other party stopped at a position less than three meters away from the "terrorist leader", reached out and handed the document to Tang Jiumin.

"There is a list of personnel in the entire shelter, as well as the distribution of supplies. According to your request, we leave here."

"However, I hope you can distribute enough food to the survivors during the period of controlling the shelter. Anyway, this is a temporary shelter, a place to save people!"

"Of course I will think about it, but you can't order me." Tang Jiumin's eyes flickered slightly, he grabbed the so-called documents, and only opened his mouth when he found that the other party was not cheating.

"Now, please take your people, and the three wounded in our car, and leave immediately."

The tone was calm, but it expressed a very firm intention of expulsion.

The special police took a deep look at Tang Jiumin and immediately obeyed the arrangement.

That look... Tang Jiumin couldn't help but tsk-tsk in his heart. If his eyes could kill, he might have been executed by the other party just now.

The other party left with someone.

After they left completely, Tang Jiumin immediately turned his head and told behind him:
"Go to the center of the square first and set up the cannon."

"Now, check those tents one by one to make sure they are safe."

Yefim nodded.

Liu Ziyun and others next to him heard Tang Jiumin's words and looked at each other a few times. They understood the meaning of Tang Jiumin's words without unnecessary explanation.

When Yefim walked to the center of the square and set up the cannon, Tang Jiumin led the people to the opposite tent area.

The crowd still did not put down their weapons. Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun opened the tent, and the rest pointed their guns inside one after another. There was a low cry of horror from the tent.

All survivors, all civilians.

Tang Jiumin exited the tent and walked to the next one... Soon, all the tents were inspected, and all the tents were full of civilians. At least, no special police hidden in them were found for the time being.

However, the threat has not been eliminated.

Although the military allowed the soldiers in the temporary shelter to evacuate, the sound of helicopters hovering outside the shelter kept coming, and the armored vehicles also arrived outside the high wall.

They cannot give up easily.

Tang Jiumin glanced at the direction of the gate, and ordered, "Li Changfu, take someone to drive there and block the gap in the gate."

This trick can be regarded as a flexible one. Before the military used cars to block the intersection, now, Tang Jiumin and the others used the same method to pay back to the military.

Li Changfu acted immediately.

Tang Jiumin looked at the others again, "Scatter, but don't separate them too far, monitor all civilians, and never let them do things that threaten us!"

Worried about other people, Tang Jiumin directly handed over the matter to Liu Ziyun. After all, this is an expert who has systematically studied reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

After ordering all this, Tang Jiumin came to a tent, and there was a man in handcuffs inside, it was the search and rescue team leader.

Tang Jiumin walked straight in front of the search and rescue team leader and stopped.

"I have sent someone to send out the wounded under your command. Now I have some questions to ask you. I suggest you answer them truthfully."

Even though the search and rescue leader became a prisoner, he was not afraid of threats. "You can ask some questions selectively, but I may not be able to answer them all."

A gesture of unwillingness to cooperate.

Tang Jiumin nodded understandingly, "Understood. You are a soldier, and you have your own discretion in what you should say and what you shouldn't say, but don't worry, what I want to ask is very simple, about this city."

The search and rescue team leader was taken aback, apparently not expecting what Tang Jiumin wanted to ask.

About the city...?
"What kind of problem is this?" The search and rescue captain said, with a smile on his face, he said sarcastically: "Didn't you understand our city before you came? This is impossible!"

"Sir, I think you still have some misunderstandings about us." Tang Jiumin spread his hands, shook his head and said, "I still say that, we are not terrorists."

His voice fell, and the two sides fell into silence for a while.After a while, the search and rescue captain spoke again, breaking the suffocating atmosphere.

"indeed……"

"There is a big difference between you and the terrorists I imagined. The people in your team, at most, have the psychological quality of ordinary people. If you let them act alone, I'm afraid they can't even commit the most basic crimes."

"From my personal observation, only you and that black man can achieve the psychological quality of a terrorist."

"Besides, that black man doesn't have the habit of a terrorist at all, he looks more like a soldier."

"Maybe what you said is true, you are not terrorists. But in our electronic archives, it is clearly marked that you are terrorists."

Having said that, the search and rescue team leader looked at Tang Jiumin inquisitively, "The others may not be, but you must have connections with terrorist organizations."

The two sides have communicated a lot, but this stubborn search and rescue team leader has always identified Tang Jiumin as a terrorist.

Tang Jiumin shook his head helplessly, "Sorry, neither am I. Even before that, we didn't know that there were terrorists wreaking havoc in the city."

"It's just a misunderstanding. It's a pity that now it's not a matter of pursuing the misunderstanding, but that we both have conflicts that are difficult to mediate."

"First of all, we killed some people on your side. This is a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile, so we have to save ourselves."

The search and rescue team leader was silent for a moment, and replied: "I am a soldier, and it is my bounden duty to obey orders."

In the next second, he changed the subject, "But you are right, no matter what, if you kill our people, even my chief will never let you go easily!"

Tang Jiumin nodded in agreement.At the same time, he took out an automatic rifle from the side and stood it on the ground, "This gun is a weapon configured by your army, right?"

ask this?
The search and rescue captain was a little puzzled, but he still nodded and admitted, "That's right, the weapon just issued."

"Just posted it? When exactly?" Tang Jiumin immediately frowned and asked.

The search and rescue team leader was a little puzzled, and answered truthfully, "Just a few days ago, all the troops in the army changed to new weapons."

"So, all the soldiers' weapons are brand new?" Tang Jiumin asked again.

The search and rescue team leader couldn't help inquiring, "That's right, why are you asking this?"

But Tang Jiumin did not answer the other party's doubts, but further confirmed, "This grenade, as well as the bulletproof vests and walkie-talkies on your bodies, are all brand new?"

"...Yes, that's right, it's all brand new."

The other party asked several questions about the new weapons in succession, which made the search and rescue leader feel a sense of indescribable weirdness. He couldn't help asking, "What's the problem?"

Tang Jiumin lowered his head in thought, and suddenly said, "It's nothing, I just feel that your army is really lucky. A few days before the crisis broke out, all of them were equipped with new weapons."

"And I heard you say that the army outside the city... In other words, the virus broke out in the city, but the outside of the city was not affected, am I right?"

These are not secrets, and the search and rescue team leader replied straightforwardly, "Yes, there are only a few soldiers on vacation, and the rest of the soldiers are not infected."

Tang Jiumin suddenly laughed, "Oh, it seems that you have taken good precautions, which makes me curious. It is obviously an emergency, so your reaction speed is too fast, right?"

"No comment."

The last question, the search and rescue team leader refused to answer.

When Tang Jiumin heard the words, he continued to search for things with his head down, "Understood, by the way, this is the weapon of the city special police, a submachine gun, you should be able to identify it?"

By now, the search and rescue team leader had guessed what Tang Jiumin was going to ask.

"Yes, it's also a new weapon just released."

"...The army has just issued new weapons, and the special police have also just issued new weapons. Sir, this wave of operations in your city is not punctual."

The search and rescue captain did not answer.

Tang Jiumin couldn't see anything from the other person's face, so he stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I've finished all I want to ask, Mr. Captain, I think we can end this pleasant exchange."

After speaking, Tang Jiumin was ready to leave.

At this time, the search and rescue team leader stared at Tang Jiumin's leaving back, and asked a little bit tangled, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Mr. Captain, this has nothing to do with you. As for the negotiation, let's wait until tonight is over."

Responding to the other party perfunctorily, Tang Jiumin turned on the communicator and contacted the military commander.

"Mr. Commander, I know what you want. The negotiation time is set for tomorrow morning. You must protect our personal safety tonight. After all, I don't want to be silenced by the organization, and I don't want zombies to break in."

"I can cooperate with you, but I want to make sure that you can guarantee that we will not be silenced."

"You should know what I mean."

In less than a second, a reply came from the communicator, "The military will guarantee your safety, but I hope you will not act rashly. The entire temporary shelter is surrounded by the military, and you cannot escape!"

"You have only one way out, and that is to reach a negotiation consensus with us, and finally strive for leniency. Think carefully and think carefully!"

"Mr. Commander is really confident." Facing the words full of warnings, Tang Jiumin was not nervous at all, and his tone was relaxed and flat.

"Don't worry, I will think it through. Of course, I also hope that you will abide by the rules, because we have more lives here."

Speaking of this, Tang Jiumin's tone suddenly turned cold, "Unless you have a way to catch us all, otherwise everything you have done will be in vain."

"know."

Both parties reached a consensus.

After the conversation between the two ended, the helicopters and armored vehicles around the temporary shelter began to move. In addition to this large and quiet military equipment, Tang Jiumin and others also found that batches of troops appeared around the shelter.

It was an undisguised arrangement, with the army surrounding the shelter.

In the distance, Liu Ziyun had already led people to arrange all the surrounding areas, and confirmed that there was no way for the troops outside to directly rush into the shelter.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Ziyun quickly came to Tang Jiumin's side, and asked as soon as they met:
"Suddenly there is so much movement outside, what's going on, have you got any news from here?"

"Wait a minute first." Tang Jiumin turned his head to look in another direction, "E Sigui, come here quickly, I have something to ask you."

"Captain Tang, what do you need me to do?" E Sixhui ran over and asked.

"I asked you to check the condition of those vehicles. How is it going now? How many new and old cars are there?" This is the question Tang Jiumin most wants to confirm now.

E Sihui reported truthfully, "There are all of them. As far as the vehicles I have inspected so far, there are some old cars and some new ones. Head Tang, forgive me for speaking bluntly. I really don't see any problems with these cars."

"yes……"

Tang Jiumin raised his finger to the buses outside, and pointed to the military police car, "Then have you checked these?"

E Sihui replied immediately: "I took a look just now, and they are all used old cars. Is there any problem?"

Tang Jiumin shook his head, "Old car? Are you referring to the vehicle number, or the internal structure?"

Confused by Tang Jiumin's question, E Sihui subconsciously said, "Number or internal structure? I don't think there is any difference..."

"Heh." Tang Jiumin showed a meaningful smile, "There's a big difference! Go and see the internal structure of these cars, I have a hunch that the hidden underwater part of this city is about to reveal its true colors."

"it is good."

Although E Sigui was puzzled, he still obeyed his orders and went to check again.After a while, E Sixui came back again, but this time, his expression became obviously strange.

As soon as he came to Tang Jiumin, he said, "Something is wrong, very wrong..."

"These cars...the numbers show that some of them were bought three years ago, but the components inside are all new. Whether it is a police car, a bus, or other cars, they are all brand new components."

"But why..."
