Seeing Jiang Shengtian's embarrassed look, the middle-aged man felt compassion and sighed softly, "Little brother, how about you follow us from now on? At least... at least we can still make a living together."
.”
The middle-aged man enthusiastically invited me to have a meal together, but he hesitated for a moment and his eyes looked very sad.
The whole team followed him for two full days from the day before yesterday. Except for yesterday when they found a few pairs of broken leather shoes, cut them into pieces and boiled them in a small pot to eat among them, until today, they are still on an empty stomach.
"No, thank you! I have an adult with me." Jiang Shengtian didn't want to cause trouble, so he was still very polite. The middle-aged man didn't look like a bad guy, so he probably had good intentions out of sympathy.
"Shengtian, what's going on?" Yu Beichuan and Jiang Chunyue caught up. He was a little worried about Jiang Shengtian. In his eyes, Jiang Shengtian was just a big kid at best.
"Old...brother-in-law!" Jiang Shengtian hesitated for a while between calling Yu Beichuan "boss" or "brother-in-law", and finally called him "old brother-in-law".
"Boss, they want me to join their team." Jiang Shengtian whispered the whole story to Yu Beichuan.
"Haha, thank you brother." Yu Beichuan stepped forward and hugged the middle-aged man. If others respected him, he would respect others. Yu Beichuan was such a person.
"Oh, you are a family?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise. Since the end of the world, it is indeed rare for a family to survive in such a complete situation like Yubeichuan.
It can be seen that Yu Beichuan loves his wife very much. Except for the blood stains on his wife's clothes, he doesn't seem to have suffered much.
"Husband..." Jiang Chunyue stepped forward in time and put her arm around Yu Beichuan's arm. Yu Beichuan did not shirk and allowed her to hug him naturally.
"Haha, it's great to be young!" The middle-aged man smiled enviously. With the facts before him, he had to believe it.
"Young people, come join our team." The middle-aged man invited warmly, hoping that Yubeichuan could join their team, but Yubeichuan was just passing by to enjoy the soy sauce.
"This...that..." Yu Beichuan laughed smartly and declined politely. The middle-aged man was helpless.
"Little brother, I've finished talking about the situation in the Limingji settlement. That's basically what happened." The middle-aged man said regretfully. He sincerely invited Yu Beichuan, but until now, Yu Beichuan has no intention of joining their team.
After a conversation with the middle-aged man, Yu Beichuan basically understood the situation of the Limingji settlement. Judging from what he had learned so far, he was much more disappointed than he originally thought.
The middle-aged man's name is Min Donglei, who turned out to be a middle school teacher near the Liming gathering place. After the apocalypse broke out, he, his teachers and students from the school gathered together to escape.
Slowly, the fleeing people along the way continued to join his team. At the most, the number of people in the team reached more than 400 people.
After arduous escapes all the way, after arriving at the dawn gathering place, some of the people in the team sought refuge with relatives and friends, and some died on the road. Gradually, the number of people in his team became smaller and smaller, and now there are only more than 50 people in the team who are old, weak, sick and disabled.
Not far ahead is one of the six settlements established under the jurisdiction of the main city, the Liming settlement, which is composed of escapees from S city and dozens of nearby cities, large and small.
Managers are divided into several waves of people, one is the original city lords and managers of major cities, the other is the alliance of teams and troops in each city, the third is some family forces, and the fourth is the alliance of escapees and enhancers, a total of four major forces.
Due to various reasons, dragons and snakes were mixed together in the Limingji settlement, making it chaotic.
The people who fled in all directions gathered at the Liming Gathering Settlement, and they did not carry much supplies. Although the predecessor of the Liming Gathering Settlement was one of the three major grain depots in the main city, the management of food was firmly held by the four people.
In the hands of big forces.
As for the other people who fled, they could only rely on their influence and suffer bullying. People like Min Donglei did not have much ability, and others looked down upon him at all.
Besides, Min Donglei and the others were considered people with integrity and did not want to live under the influence of others, so they formed a team on their own and gathered around the settlement in the morning to forage for food and survive together.
"That's it." After hearing this, Yu Beichuan basically understood. He glanced at Min Donglei's team. This team's survivability is indeed very poor.
There are fifty-seven people in the team, of which only eight are mature men, including Min Donglei.
, there are seven young women, half of them are old people, and the rest are all children from a few years old to teenagers. Such a team is inherently a burden.
No wonder Min Donglei eagerly hoped that Yubeichuan could join him when he saw Yubeichuan, although he himself believed that it was just a luxury wish.
In Min Donglei's team, more than a hundred eyes looked longingly at Yu Beichuan. In their hearts, they hoped that Yu Beichuan would agree to join the team.
After all, there are two and a half more adults in his prime. Jiang Shengtian can be considered as half a prime man. He is much stronger. They may have a better chance of survival.
Until now, Yubeichuan has not expressed its stance, and their eyes dimmed.
"Boss, are we going with them..." Jiang Shengtian, overflowing with sympathy, asked in a low voice, and Yu Beichuan shook his head.
When he came to the Liming Gathering Settlement once, Yubeichuan came not to take in people, but to save them. The next step was to rescue Xia Zhiqi in the Liming Gathering Settlement. They didn't know what kind of trouble they were going to cause. Joining them was not helping them, but harming them.
"Brother, please don't get involved in adults' affairs. Your brother-in-law has his own ideas." Jiang Chunyue is indeed a thoughtful person, and she quickly figured out the key to the problem.
"I've told you so many times, I'm not a child." Jiang Shengqian was arrogant. What he didn't like the most was others treating him as a minor.
However, this person is his sister, so he has no choice but to be sulky at himself.
"I'm sorry, I have something else to do. It's impossible to join. But..." Yu Beichuan pointed to the small village in front, "We can search that place together."
"Yeah!" There was a burst of cheers from the crowd. Anyway, there was finally a little hope.
Min Donglei had a grimace on his face. He couldn't express his opinion. The small village in front of him had been searched many times by people who were fleeing. If he wanted to gain anything, of course, sometimes he had to look at luck.
Everyone in the team was in high spirits, and he would not refuse. This time they came out, and that was their goal.
"Let's go, maybe there will be something to gain?" Yu Beichuan said to Min Donglei with a smile and waved to the crowd.
With a roar, a large group of people followed behind him and set off towards the small village.
