Chapter 56 The Island

In the mountains of the outer sea area of ​​Island No. 7.

General Fu sat in the hidden command post, eating barbecue while asking in a low voice, "Haven't we received a reply from the other side yet?"

"No, but their guide has already joined up with our people." The middle-aged staff officer next to him leaned over and said, "That kid named Su Tianyu has been ordering us not to move until he gives permission."

"He said that?" General Fu asked with a smile, "Does this kid know who he is working with now?"

"He should be able to guess our general identity and position, but he definitely doesn't know who he's specifically working with." The staff officer, who was obviously very familiar with General Fu, curled his lips and joked, "If he knew it was you coming here, he would probably be much more polite, haha!"

"Cut the crap, the martial world doesn't have legends about me anymore." General Fu took a bite of the barbecue and said concisely, "This kid is quite patient, and he is also someone Li Mingsheng is focusing on cultivating. Keep an eye on him later."

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded and asked softly, "Lao Fu, which side do you think Li Mingsheng is really on?"

General Fu snorted disdainfully and replied, "The disciples and grandchildren of Zhou Xingli are all the same, they are best at playing power and splitting! Few of the people who have been active on the top political stage in the First District in recent years are close to our position. This old Li is probably no exception, just a politician who is good at speculation. Everything he's doing seems to be aimed at gaining power for himself."

"You're already a lieutenant general, can you not be so direct and... vulgar?"

"...Do you know what Lao Meng once said to me when we were drinking?" General Fu asked.

"What did Mr. Meng say?" The middle-aged man didn't dare to use the same address as General Fu, he seemed to respect that Lao Meng very much.

General Fu looked at him and said with a very serious expression, "Throughout history, the court must have people who speak in circles, but there can't be all such people. There must also be a straight cannon, that's balance."

The middle-aged man paused for a moment: "So, everything Lao Meng can't say, you say it all? Hey, can I learn from you too?"

"You're just a small senior colonel, it's not your turn to learn from anyone, just keep your head down."

"Damn, are you showing off your superiority to me? I don't have a father like you! If I did, I would be a general by now."

"No, you still don't understand. Putting aside blood relations, I am fully capable of being your father. As long as you follow me and don't snitch, then..."

"Get lost!"

After the two argued for a while, General Fu slowly got up: "Alright, let's wait for news!"

From the conversation between the two, it can be seen that this General Fu doesn't seem to be very fond of some political figures in Dragon City, and can't even be said to admire them.

Why?

Because in the civil war more than twenty years ago, many of General Fu's friends died in the battles with the Zhou faction warlords. So much time has passed, but he still doesn't have any good feelings for the people of the Zhou faction. He may have forgotten the faces of many people, but the tombs in the cemetery are telling everyone that that period of history can never be erased.

...

On Island No. 7.

Su Tiannan carried Zhang Taotao's simple luggage bag and came to the downstairs of the apartment building with her.

"Squeak!"

An off-road vehicle stopped, and a Chinese youth opened the door and got out, smiling and saying to Zhang Taotao, "Let's go, President Zhang!"

Su Tiannan glanced at the other party, put the luggage bag in the trunk, and then sat in the back seat of the car with Zhang Taotao.

After the two got into the car, they found that in addition to the young man who got out of the car to pick them up, there were two other people in the car, one was the driver, and the other was sitting in the passenger seat. And these two men were both very tall, and judging from their clothes, they should be soldiers on the island.

This combination made Su Tiannan a little confused, because when they came, they took the island's shuttle bus, and the driver and the person who picked them up were ordinary staff, not soldiers.

"Let's go!" The young man who picked up the two also sat in the back seat and smiled and greeted the driver.

The off-road vehicle left the apartment and drove towards the north side of the island.

In the back seat, Zhang Taotao also looked at the three people strangely, and then asked softly, "Did Dr. Pang send you here?"

"Yes," the young man on the right said with a smile, "He asked us to send you off."

"Oh, thank you." Zhang Taotao nodded slowly.

The young man looked at Zhang Taotao's expression and added, "It's very late, and there will be a curfew soon. It's more convenient for us to send you off, otherwise you may not be able to make it to the gate in time by shuttle bus."

Zhang Taotao glanced at the other party: "Hehe, the management on the island is indeed quite strict."

"Yes." The young man nodded and said nothing more.

In the car, Su Tiannan loosened his collar and frowned at the driver and the person in the passenger seat, and found that they were both Chinese, not the Eastern European soldiers who were everywhere here.

The car was quiet and the speed was very fast. It didn't take long before it drove out of the apartment residential area.

On the dark island road, both sides were full of warehouses and equipment storage areas.

Zhang Taotao yawned, curled up and leaned on the left door, looking sleepy.

In the middle row of seats, Su Tiannan looked at the young man on the right and asked, "Brother, how much money can you earn here in a month?"

"Not too much, more than eight thousand for management, and three or four thousand for ordinary soldiers." The young man replied talkatively, "But the work here is very easy, just patrolling and checking."

"That's pretty good."

"Hey, just earning money to support the family." The young man sighed and replied, "I haven't been home for more than two years!"

"Oh!" Su Tiannan nodded slowly, and suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Hey, buddy, why do I feel like this road is not... the one we took when we came?"

"Ah! Yes, the gate you came from is North 01," the young man explained softly, "But today there is a patrol inspection there, and there is an inspection team working there, so we are taking the West 02 gate. It's the same, it won't take too long."

"Oh, I see." Su Tiannan nodded, secretly kicked Zhang Taotao's calf, but the latter still looked sleepy, as if she didn't react at all.

"It's a bit stuffy in this car..." Su Tiannan leaned to the right, and suddenly asked again, "Hey, how did you know which gate we came in from? Did Dr. Pang tell you this?"

The young man was stunned.

"Pa!"

Su Tiannan suddenly burst out, pressing the other party's chest with his left hand, and pulling out a pistol directly from his waist with his right hand.

At the same time, Zhang Taotao suddenly got up and strangled the driver's neck with both hands.

"You guys...!"

Before the young man on the right side of the back seat could finish his words, he suddenly saw Su Tiannan's left hand suddenly open the car door.

"Bang!"

"Ah!!"

The young man was kicked out of the car by Su Tiannan, and the whole person fell to the ground, rolled five or six times by the force of inertia, and passed out.
