spooky invasion

Chapter 1304

Aspirational?

Seeing Xie Chun's confident look, Xiao Pu couldn't tell whether Xie Chun was confident or blindly arrogant.

But when it came to this, he knew very well that anything he said would be redundant.Besides, it's not a big deal if you're chatted to death, but it's big trouble if you fall out.

Xiao Pu had no doubt that if he had a falling out with Xie Chun, Xie Chun would make it impossible for him to leave this planting base in minutes.It's not that Xiao Pu is not mentally prepared for this in this world, but he can't fall out with Xie Chun no matter what.He still wants to leave alive and return to Star City alive to reunite with his relatives.

Star City has his parents and his girlfriend.Although Xiao Pu is not sure whether they are still alive, who will give up hope before the suspense is revealed?

It is precisely because of this belief that he has persisted until now.Only then would he dance with a group of demons.He was also worried that if he continued like this, sooner or later his hands would be stained with blood and human life, and he would be dragged into the abyss by these demons and sink together.

However, Xiao Pu is still curious about where Mr. Xie's confidence comes from.

Normally, Mr. Xie is not the kind of person who talks freely. Since he dares to make such bold statements, he must have someone to rely on.

Just because there are so many people?

If we talk about fighting with a large number of people, can these few hundred people fight against the officials and the military?Although there is only one helicopter entering the mountain now, is there any guarantee that there will be ground troops later?

Besides, there has been no news from the military. Could it be that the military disappeared out of thin air?Once the military gets the news, there is no reason to stand still.

They lack communication with the outside world and have no communication facilities. This does not mean that there is no communication method between the official and the military.

The end of the world is always under control for those reckless people, but for the officials and the military, is this a problem?

Deep down, Xiao Pu didn't want Xie Chun to win.

Just as Xiaopu doesn't want to cut off the path of return.He didn't want to form a deadly feud with the officials here and cut off the way back.

But he vaguely realized that Mr. Xie was speaking grandly, but in fact he had no intention of getting closer to the officialdom.Those who said they would consider negotiating with the authorities after becoming stronger, in hindsight, it seems more like perfunctory.

Xiao Pu walked out of the room hesitantly. In a depressed mood, he wanted to walk around.

Before, his status was relatively high. No matter where he went, almost no one would interfere with him.But today he was stopped before he even reached the gate of the manor.

This group of people are Dao Ye's subordinates and belong to the Blade Camp.

"Master Pu, Master Dao just issued an order. All entrances and exits of the manor are under martial law. No one is allowed in or out of the manor. Even those who are on a mission need a password to enter or exit."

The person who stopped him spoke politely, but his attitude was firm.

You can't wander around, let alone leave the manor base.

Xiao Pu frowned: "I can't even do it?"

"No, Master Dao said that this is a wartime regulation. Even Master Xie and Master Dao must take the lead in abiding by it. No one can be an exception, and no one can be special."

After moving out the No. [-] and No. [-] figures, Xie Chun and Lao Dao, how could Xiao Pu, the strategist, be so special?

Xiao Pu was vaguely suspicious. This was Master Xie's ban on him.But he didn't have any evidence to support this, so he could only shake his head dejectedly, smile bitterly, and walk back.

By now, Xiao Pu had vaguely guessed that this must be Master Xie's idea.Mr. Xie has made up his mind to start a war and will never allow any unexpected factors to happen.

Although Xiao Pu was a military advisor, he did not produce a convincing letter of surrender.No matter how much Xie Chun appreciates him, he will definitely have reservations.

This grounding and not allowing him to leave the manor base was obviously a concrete manifestation of Mr. Xie's lack of complete trust in him.

Xiao Pu was young after all, so he was still a little angry at being treated like this.But after all, he didn't go to Xie Chun directly to argue.

He is a brain eater and must remind himself to keep a cool head at all times.

If you go to Xie Chun to argue with you at this time, he will probably not admit it, but will make the matter even more tense.

Xiao Pu had just returned to his residence when he saw half of his head sticking out from the corridor. When he saw Xiao Pu, his eyes lit up and he waved to Xiao Pu.

Seeing his strange behavior, Xiao Pu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Of course he recognized this guy, he was also one of the dozen key elites under Xie Chun.However, he is not the core member of the team.What he led was a new camp, and he was not the leader of the new camp, but just a deputy of the new camp.

If I remember correctly, this person's surname was Tang, a foreigner from Xiangcheng, at least a thousand miles away from Star City.He was also an employee of a planting base before.

"Brother Xiaopu, come and sit in my room." The deputy of the soup team sent an invitation, "I happen to have some good tea. The others are just rough and don't understand tea. You are a scholar, you must understand, right?"

Xiao Pu didn't have much interest in tea, but when Deputy Tang came to see him, tea was just an excuse. There was obviously another reason.

Driven by Xiao Pu's curiosity, he followed Deputy Tang into the house.

Tea is not actually a good tea, but the point is obviously not tea.Deputy Tang made a pot of tea and set out a few plates of simple snacks such as nuts.

"Haha, there's nothing good about it. Don't dislike it." As a team vice-president and one of the dozen elites under Xie Chun, Lao Tang still has some benefits.

Although Xiao Pu would not kill people, set fires, and have women with them, he would not refuse people thousands of miles away, and he could still get along with these people in daily life.

He picked up a handful of peanuts, peeled them and chewed them leisurely.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine this old soup was buying in the gourd.

Lao Tang poured the tea with a smile: "Brother Xiao Pu, you just walked outside the base. Am I right?"

"Yes, Lao Tang, you pay special attention to me?" Xiao Pu joked.

Lao Tang waved his hand: "I didn't pay special attention to you, I happened to see you just now. Don't blame me for being too talkative. What you did just now was very taboo."

"Oh?" Xiao Pu put down the peanuts in his hand with interest and patted the peanut crumbs in the palm of his hand, "How do you say this? We usually come in and out, and you didn't tell me that it's taboo to go in and out of the manor?"

"The past was the past, and now is the present. When is it now?" Deputy Tang said earnestly.

"When? Is it just because a few people died? We, Mr. Xie, wouldn't be so upset. Lao Tang, don't think too much." "Haha, brother Xiao Pu doesn't regard me as one of his own. Are you pretending to be stupid?" Lao Tang pretended to be angry. road.

Xiao Pu said sincerely: "I really haven't figured it out. Brother Tang, do you have any insights or advice? Please don't show off."

"This is not a matter of showing off. This is war time. Since Mr. Xie has declared war, there must be wartime discipline. With you coming in and out, people who know you naturally have nothing to say. But people who don't know you think that You want to communicate inside and outside."

Xiao Pu frowned: "Brother Tang, do you think this is how you look at me, my brother?"

Deputy Team Tang waved his hand: "Of course I won't look at you like that, but you are so intimidating if you can't stand people's words. Your brother Xiao Pu usually cherishes feathers and can't play with everyone. Many people are gossiping behind your back and feel that you are heartbroken. If you are not here, you are not of the same mind as everyone."

It's not like Xiao Pu has never heard of these gossips.However, he always goes his own way and doesn't give any unnecessary explanations.

Any linguistic explanation is futile.Unless he can kill, set fire to, and fuck women like everyone else.

But he couldn't do this at all.He knew very well that once he did it for the first time, it would be impossible to stop him later and he would only fall quickly.

"So Brother Tang thinks, brother, what should I do?"

Deputy Team Tang waved his hand: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I won't force others. Your brother Xiao Pu is a scholar. There are some things that you can't handle, and that's normal. Not everyone has to have the same standards. Let's get together. Whether you can truly unite as one is definitely not determined by killing people together or having sex with women."

Xiao Pu said calmly: "I didn't expect Brother Tang to be so sensible."

"Haha, there's no reason to speak of. It's just an expression of emotion. In fact, I know better than you that the things we do are unacceptable. I also have parents, a wife and children. They are in Xiang My hometown in the city, if you meet people like us, think about it..."

Captain Tang came to compare his feelings with others, but Xiao Pu was a little confused.

"Brother Xiaopu's family should be in Star City, right?"

Xiao Pu nodded silently, feeling a little uncomfortable.Especially when I think of the behavior of Xie Chun and his gang.If the survivors of Star City also have such demons, can the safety of their parents, fiancée, and younger brothers and sisters be guaranteed?
Will he wait for him to rush back to Star City, but what awaits him is a huge piece of bad news?
"Hey, people, many times we can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we have to say something and do something against our will." Deputy Captain Tang looked deeply moved.

Xiao Pu calmed down slightly and took a sip of tea to hide his emotions.

"Brother Tang, you miss your parents and family too, right?"

“I don’t think so, you bastard doesn’t want to,” Deputy Tang said with a wry smile, “But if we really need to be held accountable for the things we did, even killing them ten times would not be enough. If our family members are still alive, we might still be implicated. So, in the final analysis, I have doubts about how long our route can last.”

Having said this, Deputy Tang suddenly said with a solemn tone: "Brother Xiaopu, I will complain about these things in private. I have forgotten what I said. You can't say it outside."

Xiao Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who talks too much? Besides, as you said, people don't regard me as one of their own, so if I want to say something, someone has to say it."

Captain Tang sighed: "Who says it's not the case? The locals have a more private circle. After all, we are still the outer circle, even outsiders."

"Oh? Brother Tang, you are an elite member, why do you still feel like an outsider?"

"Are you still the military advisor? You have a higher position than me and have more say than me. Do you think you are the master of the matter?" Deputy Tang asked angrily.

Xiao Pu said: "You don't know that I am a military advisor. I am just a decoration. I can't mobilize a single soldier. Your deputy Tang can at least command a hundred or ten people."

"Bullshit, the battalion officer didn't say anything. Let's see how many of my teammates can be mobilized." Deputy Tang was also grumbling, "Brother Xiaopu, you really didn't see the signs in the previous meeting. Those words of yours can scare everyone." It’s a serious offence.”

Xiao Pu smiled bitterly and said: "My words are not selfish. They are all for the good of the team and everyone's future. I really offended the official to death. Is there any good fruit to be gained?"

"But you didn't consider whether everyone would listen or not." Deputy Tang laughed and said, "Thanks to Mr. Xie Qiangang's arbitrary decision, if you continue to say it, you will make people angry."

Xiao Pu sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm just a counselor. It's my job to give opinions. I took a bite of Master Xie's food and did what I should do. That's enough. The decision-making belongs to Master Xie and Master Dao. As long as I have a clear conscience."

Deputy Tang laughed and gave him some more tea, and asked tentatively: "Brother Xiaopu, you were in the meeting at that time, so you probably still had a lot to say, right?"

"Is this still important?" Xiao Pu asked with a smile.

"Haha, let's chat in private. I'm curious, is Brother Xiaopu not optimistic about this battle?"

Xiao Pu shook his head: "It's not important. Since we have decided to go to war, it doesn't matter whether I am optimistic about it or not, right?"

Deputy Team Tang said solemnly: "No, I personally still care about Brother Xiaopu's judgment, and I hope Brother Xiaopu can give me some advice. This is also related to the fate of the team in the future, and even the fate of the individual."

"Haha, Brother Tang, with all due respect, your words are a bit loud, aren't you? It's not your turn to worry about the future fate of the team and your current position, right?"

"Then let's talk about personal destiny. I don't believe what you said, Brother Xiaopu, is purely for the public good and has no selfish motives. Don't you worry about your personal destiny? No one wants to drown after the boat capsizes, right?"

Xiao Pu said sternly: "My point of view is very clear. There is no need to form a deadly feud with the officials and cut off all escape options."

"Do you think, Brother Xiaopu, there will be room for maneuver after this battle is over?"

"Haha, if you really kill the people in Panshiling, how can you resolve this grudge? Do you still want the official face?" Xiao Pu asked back.

"Oh, it's true. So, in this battle, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, right?"

Xiao Pu said calmly: "But now that the war has begun, there is no point in talking about it."

Captain Tang smiled bitterly and said, "If the ship really capsizes, have brothers Xiao Pu thought about how to jump off the ship?"

"Brother Tang, have you thought about it?" Xiao Pu was very cautious and always answered questions with questions.

"It would be too hypocritical to say that I don't want to. But this ship is really not that easy to jump off. Mr. Xie will never allow us to jump off the ship easily."

"Brother Xiaopu, do you have any good way to jump off the ship?"

Xiao Pu looked at Captain Tang meaningfully: "Brother Tang, where are we now? The ship hasn't capsized yet, and you're thinking of jumping off the ship?"

"Can you really wait until it's over? Isn't it too late?"

"Then let's stop the boat from capsizing. If everyone works together, we can always keep the boat from capsizing." Xiao Pu responded calmly.

Deputy Captain Tang smiled coquettishly and looked at Xiao Pu, as if he was trying to tell whether his words were sincere or perfunctory.
