400: C400 Paradoxical Cause

C400 Paradoxical Cause

"Creak!"

Lee Hu braked and stopped in front of the floating bridge.

"What for?" Yang Ze asked in confusion.

"Will this work? Don't fall in the middle of it. I can't swim. "

Lee Hu looked at the floating bridge in front of him that was slightly rising and falling along with the water surface.

"Don't worry, this floating bridge can even hold a tank. Let alone a lousy JMNY like you."

Yang Ze shook his head fearlessly.

"This is for special use by the troops. Other than its toughness, there really isn't much else."

"Really? I've never been a soldier, so don't lie to me. " Lee Hu still couldn't believe it.

"Hiss!" "Why are you nagging so much." Yang Ze twitched his lips and was about to grab the steering wheel when his walkie-talkie suddenly buzzed.

"What's going on? "Hurry up and go over there."

Wang Yi immediately urged when he saw the JMNY in front of him stop.

"Look, even Bro Yi said it was you." Yang Ze grumbled and immediately opened the door to get off. He switched positions with Lee Hu and controlled the JMNY to quickly rush onto the floating bridge.

"Hey, fuck me, slow down, Old Yang!"

Lee Hu's face instantly turned red. He grabbed the handrail on the frame with both of his hands.

"You look like a bear, you're almost catching up to Xiong Dazhuang."

Yang Ze let out a weird laugh. With a strong force under his feet, the JMNY let out a weird roar and suddenly increased its speed two times.

"Boom boom!"

As for Cai Mingguo and the rest of the people, because of the weight of the equipment, they could only pass through the floating bridge in batches. It took them a full half an hour before they all reached the island, and Wang Yi also used this short period of time to understand the experiences of the team in the past few days.

"What secret do you think Division Commander Chen and the others brought with them that they must go to the capital?"

Wang Yi's eyes flashed with a contemplative look as he looked at the tanks passing by on the floating bridge.

"Right, I think it might be some sort of high-tech weapon, or else it would be impossible for it to be so heavily guarded."

Yang Bing's eyes were also filled with doubt.

"Alright, I understand. Don't bring up this matter again."

Wang Yi shook his head slightly. As a high-ranking military officer, Wang Yi didn't want anything to do with Division Commander Chen.

"Rumble!"

The group passed through the floating bridge and continued to head towards the town on the island. As for Wang Yi, under the guidance of Cai Mingguo, he got on Elder Duan's car.

"Little Wang, there are a lot of people living in this town, so Brigade Commander Cai can only arrange for you to live in a primary school. I hope you don't mind."

Elder Duan explained to Wang Yi while driving.

"Nope." Wang Yi smiled. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up for Wu Tie.

"Squad Leader Duan, how many people are there on this island?"1

Wang Yi asked casually. His eyes looked through the window at the rice fields on the side of the road.

"If you're hungry now, there's around a hundred thousand people?" Elder Duan was a bit unsure. After all, the apocalypse was chaotic, and no one could accurately count it.

"A hundred thousand?" "It's really quite a lot." Wang Yi could not help but click his tongue. These hundred thousand people, would probably reach the population before the outbreak of the last phase of Weishan Island.

"Three months ago, when we took down this place, there were less than 20,000 survivors. For the past few months, we went out almost every day to collect survivors. That's when the population increased."

Elder Duan smiled and explained.

"Do you have enough food? With so many people around, the consumption rate should be quite high every day." Wang Yi continued to ask casually.

"There's no need to worry about food. There are rice fields near the Weishan Lake. As for other daily necessities …"

Elder Duan hesitated for a moment and anger flashed across his eyes.

"Other than food, everything on the island is missing salt, vegetables, and the temperature has dropped. I'm afraid every month, the 100,000 people on the island will have to endure the cold."

"What is it? Don't you think Brigade Commander Cai will think of a way to deal with these? " Wang Yi pretended to be hesitant.

"It's not that Brigade Commander didn't think of a solution, it's just that Brigade Commander was too late!" Elder Duan said angrily as he slammed down on the steering wheel.

"Too late? "What do you mean?"

Wang Yi continued to ask.

He was originally a large entrepreneur in the Lu Province, and after the apocalypse broke out, he brought his subordinates and all kinds of supplies here. At that time, the gathering place was just taken down by us, so the population was greatly reduced, and there weren't enough supplies. Brigade Commander saw that he brought a lot of supplies, so he agreed to let him join the gathering place.

As Elder Duan said that, he slammed down on the steering wheel again. The steering wheel that seemed to be very sturdy made a creaking sound as it hit, causing the car to sway along with Elder Duan's actions.

"Ai ai ai!" Squadron Leader, don't be rash. " Wang Yi pulled Elder Duan's arm that was about to hit the steering wheel and urged him in a hurry.

"I'm sorry." Elder Duan smiled awkwardly. Then, he remembered what Ye Zichen said just now.

"This old gang took advantage of the time while we were out searching for survivors to recruit a lot of people in the gathering area. They probably have two to three thousand people, and they're here to collect materials when we take down the few towns nearby and transport the survivors. After we send the survivors back to the gathering area, they've already cleaned up all the supplies."

"Then is Brigade Commander Cai going to let him do as he pleases?"

Wang Yi subconsciously glanced at the cracked steering wheel. He made up his mind that he wouldn't let Elder Duan touch a single hair on the steering wheel.

"By the time we reacted, Jin Tiande had already gathered a lot of people and occupied a small part of the towns on the island. He also said that the looted items would be sent to the survivors on the island to make them support the Jin family, but we had already forgotten who rescued them from the corpses!"

Elder Duan raised his arm subconsciously, but luckily, he didn't fall.

"So, it is because of this reason that Brigade Commander didn't let you kill Jin Tiande. This old fox is very cunning, he has a group of core subordinates specifically guarding the place where all kinds of supplies are stored, if anything happens to him, I'm afraid that his subordinates will immediately burn them down. If that happens, this gathering point will no longer exist."

Elder Duan sighed and put out his cigarette and threw it out of the window.

"Yes."

Wang Yi finally figured out the sequence of events. No wonder Jin Tiande had killed Cai Mingguo in his previous life.

Cai Mingguo was a professional soldier, he was good at arranging army formations, but he ruled over gathering places, so his Cai Mingguo techniques were not as good as Jin Tiande.

"It seems like Jin Tiande is not a good person either." Wang Yi said casually.

"No, no, but he doesn't dare to create any big waves. After all, we are the only ones who have weapons in this gathering place. Jin Tiande knows his place, and he sent all the materials he collected to the survivors on the island, not daring to lay his hands on them.
