The gentle evening breeze carried away the muggy air during the day.
It brings some coolness, but only relatively speaking.
The temperature at night is ten degrees lower than during the day, but it is still over thirty degrees.
The second uncle stood on the tallest watchtower behind the wall, holding a telescope and looking at where Xiao Jun and others were.
The night was gloomy, and it was so dark that it was hard to see clearly.
Only a few figures could be vaguely seen in the yard.
After a while, the second uncle put down the telescope and thought about what Li Yugang had told him, asking Xiao Jun, He Chao and others to go to the northeast to solve the problem of the steel plant.
Pong Pong Pong——
In the inner city of the base, there was a small sound of construction.
It's the sound of digging a cave.
Ding Jiu and he synchronized Li Yu's opinions and excavated and built cave bunkers in the two mountains in the base.
The second uncle's eyes showed thoughts, and he stared blankly at the mountains and forests outside the base, not knowing what he was thinking.
He didn't wake up until the wind blew the smoke in his hands and sparks burned his hands.
There are more and more people in the base, but it feels like there is even less manpower.
Right now, the weather is unpredictable. If we look at last year's weather, the temperature will still rise. We don't know what will happen next.
On the other side of Chengzi Island, I don’t know what’s going on.
I always feel like a storm is coming and something big is approaching.
Looking at Li Yu's recent mood and the pace of deployment, he doesn't know why, but he always feels like he's on edge.
Whoosh——
The sound of a crossbow being fired made the second uncle focus on the wall.
It's Li Hang.
I saw Li Hang holding a compound crossbow and shooting an arrow at the spot where the searchlight hit thirty meters away.
The arrow feather accurately pierced the head of a zombie, and Thirty slowly fell down.
Li Hang put down the crossbow and saw his second uncle on the watchtower looking at him. He smiled and said, "I'm a little rusty. I'll practice my accuracy."
The second uncle smiled and said: "You are not on duty today. Go back early. Your wife is pregnant now. You have to take good care of her."
Li Hang nodded and said: "I know, shoot a few more and then go back."
Since Ding Qingqing became pregnant, everyone in the Li family has taken good care of her. After all, this is the first fourth generation of the old Li family.
Perhaps because he is about to be a father, Li Hang has become much calmer recently.
.....
Outside the big camphor tree base.
Two hundred meters away, in a small yard near a rural road.
Outside the yard, there are some zombies surrounding him.
But not much.
The zombies were lying outside the iron gate and roaring. Xiao Jun in the yard said to Zhou Tian and others: "Okay, let's go to bed early. We have to be busy tomorrow."
Zhou Tian thought for a while and said: "Company Commander, today I saw that Li Yu and the others have a drone. Let's see if we can apply to Mr. Li tomorrow to let them lend us the drone.
After all, I heard from He Chao and the others that there are still a lot of zombies in the steel plant, and if we can use drones to attract some zombies away, it can also reduce our pressure."
Xiao Jun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Li before setting off tomorrow."
Huang Zheng was squatting next to the well, looking at the well in a daze.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Jun walked over and asked, "Why are you so dazed?"
Huang Zheng was still in a daze and didn't seem to hear Xiao Jun speak.
Xiao Jun pushed him and asked again.
Huang Zhengru woke up from his dream, exhaled and said: "It just feels like so many things have happened in the past few days, everything seems like a dream."
When Xiao Jun heard what he said, he was also touched in his heart.
So why isn't he?
In the past few days, when I wake up every morning, I am in a different place.
"Okay, don't think about it, go and rest quickly, we will be on duty later," Xiao Jun said.
For more than a year in these last days, he and his brothers have lived and died together, and their friendship has long surpassed that of comrades-in-arms.
They are not brothers, but more than brothers.
So in many cases, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates in their communication.
In the night.
Some zombies outside the wall roared, but they were already used to it.
...
Orange Island Head.
After night arrived, Gan Shang did not see Xiao Jun or Gan Gaojie appear for a long time.
Xiao Jun and the others have been out for two days, but so far, no one has appeared.
According to the journey, they had already returned.
Gan Shang and his men approached Ju Tianrui aggressively.
When Ju Tianrui saw Gan Shang bringing people over, he thought to himself: I knew I would come back, but I didn't expect them to be in such a hurry.
In the past two days, he has also been counting the weapons, ammunition, food and other supplies he has in his possession.
Prepare for the worst.
Gan Shang led people into Ju Tianrui's house. Without any prelude, he asked directly: "Why haven't they come back yet?"
His tone was cold, like a volcano about to erupt, holding back his anger.
Ju Tianrui also had an anxious look on his face and said, "I'm anxious too. Xiao Jun and the others haven't come back yet. I just don't know if they are in any trouble. Alas..."
Then he pointed to a subordinate next to him and said: "I plan to send people out to search again today, but it is too late today, so we can only wait until tomorrow morning. Dongtai, you should prepare tonight and go out at dawn tomorrow."
.Make sure to find Xiao Jun, um, and scientific researchers like Gan Gaojie."
The man named Dongtai nodded and said, "Okay."
Not only did Gan Shang not believe Ju Tianrui because of his gesture, he even said angrily: "No need, we will send someone to find him."
Staring at Ju Tianrui, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
After they left, Dongtai looked outside, then closed the door and asked: "Batalion Commander, do you really need me to take people out to find Xiao Jun and the others tomorrow?"
Ju Tianrui hesitated for a long time and said: "Don't go for now, let's see how many people they come tomorrow. This old fox may have seen the problem."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dongtai was a little unhappy. He glanced at the place where Gan Shang and others left just now and said: "Battal Commander, why don't we leave this place too?
Instead of suffering here, why don't we change places or go find Xiao Jun and the others?"
Ju Tianrui sighed and said: "We are all gone, what will happen to those refugees? If we leave, their lives will be even more difficult than now."
A tangled expression appeared on Dongtai's face and he said:
"You fled from the east, and we rescued so many refugees along the way, but we also lost many brothers because of them.
Over the past year or so, we have done enough, and if we continue like this, our brothers will not be able to withstand it."
A look of struggle appeared on Ju Tianrui's face. He had promised to join Gan Shang and others even though he already knew that Gan Gaojie and the others were not scientific researchers, just so that Gan Shang could accept these refugees at the same time.
Gan Shang and others have food in their hands, which can save people and help them survive this most difficult time.
I thought that as long as someone built the Chengzizhoutou wall, they would be able to engage in production with peace of mind, and eventually they could plant crops, and then they would be able to get rid of their dependence on Ganzhou merchants.
However, with the changes in the apocalypse, harsh weather conditions, and zombie attacks, the crops were destroyed many times.
This made Ju Tianrui a little desperate, but he still didn't want to give up.
When the apocalypse first broke out, they could still go out and collect supplies and food, but as time went by, it became increasingly difficult to collect supplies.
But at this time, Gan Shang didn't know what he was doing. Uncharacteristically, he attracted a lot of refugees from outside.
Even if they were brought in, Gan Shang didn't give them any food, he just let them in and didn't manage them at all.
Many of these refugees became the playthings of Gan Shang just for the sake of a bite to eat.
All this made Ju Tianrui heartbroken.
Not long ago, the crops that were ready to be harvested were destroyed by some people, the barbed wire fence was broken, and the refugees swarmed over.
The crops that were about to be harvested were chopped and steamed directly.
Food! Food! Food!
This eternal topic in the last days is also the most important necessary condition.
This year, dealing with Gan Shang made him exhausted.
He somewhat understood that under the current circumstances, he could not save so many people.
Facing this powerlessness was what made him most uncomfortable.
Right now, many things Gan Shang is doing are becoming more and more excessive.
This time, the grain shipped from the west once again consolidated the position of Gan merchants.
There is food, people, and guns.
From the perspective of Ganshang, a small amount of food can be exchanged for hundreds of fully armed teams to protect the safety of Orange Island.
Why not.
Ju Tianrui's face was complicated, and he looked at Dongtai, who also had an ugly face, and said: "The Southern District is about to become a human tragedy. If there are any more refugees who want to come in later, tell them not to come in.
If you don't come in, you can still have a chance of survival. After you come in, you will be completely under the control of Gan Shang and the others."
Ju Tianrui thought for a while and said: "Let's wait a little longer. When the right time comes, we will leave here."
This was the first time Dongtai heard Ju Tianrui say he wanted to leave. He was a little excited, but calmed down and asked, "What about those refugees?"
Ju Tianrui said: "When the time comes, let's let them go. It's better than staying here and being Gan Shang's playthings."
Dongtai said with anger on his face: "Last time, I saw Gan and Shang taking hundreds of people, mainly women, and transporting them to the west.
I saw a family that just sent their daughter over, and the price was less than half a pound of millet.
.......
I suspect they have some shady deals."
Ju Tianrui said: "Next time, remind those refugees not to be sold without knowing it."
Dongtai said painfully: "I told you, but when they heard there was food, they didn't care about anything else."
Quiet.
Ju Tianrui was quiet for a minute.
My chest was so tight that I couldn't speak a word.
"I don't blame them, it's just to survive. This doomsday world makes people less human." Ju Tianrui muttered to himself, as if talking to himself.
What they can do is limited. Their brothers are still short of food. They have no choice but to help these refugees. They want to help, but they can't.
This feeling of having more than enough energy but not enough power made their hearts feel as uncomfortable as being stabbed with a knife.
...
Gan Shang, who left in anger again, returned to his area.
I entered my room and just walked through the door.
There was a woman wearing a small amount of clothes and changed his shoes for him.
Without warning, Gan Shang kicked the woman directly.
The force was so fierce that he kicked the woman several meters away.
Another woman holding a towel saw this scene and trembled all over. She wanted to go over and help her up, but she didn't dare to move.
The woman who was kicked to the ground lowered her head, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, but more of it was fear. She was sitting on the ground and did not dare to get up. She didn't know how she angered Gan Shang.
Gan Shang looked at her and cursed: "Come over here and help me put on my shoes."
Hearing what Gan Shang said, the woman walked over tremblingly, her body shaking like a sieve.
Slowly squatting down and changing Gan Shang's shoes.
Gan Shang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, pinched her chin with his right hand and said, "This kid Gao Jie really doesn't let me worry.
Obviously there are so many choices here, but I just like to go out for excitement."
He said where he was angry and used his fingers hard. The woman's face was pinched by his hands until she turned purple, but she still did not dare to say anything.
Lessons from the past.
The two people who were here last were unable to bear to look at the tragic situation they ended up in just because they resisted.
But she has no regrets. As long as she can stay here one more day, she can let her family live one more day.
...
It has been almost two years since the end of the world.
Social order, moral norms, everything is going backwards.
In order to survive, some people lowered their heads.
However, some people couldn't bear this and chose to leave this world.
And more people are lingering in some small corners.
