"Old Zheng, you also know that we sent a total of 21 teams this time, with a total of 147 people."
"Including yours, only fifteen have come back so far."
"You are lucky this time. The team has no losses, but other teams are not so lucky."
"Among the fourteen teams that returned, less than half of the people who set out were alive."
Speaking of this, Chu Xuan's dark face looked so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
Although Qing Xiao was already mentally prepared, after hearing the news, his expression was in a trance.
Originally he thought it would be like usual and there might be some casualties, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Qing Xiao's eyes couldn't help but dim.
He touched his trembling right hand in his arms, then took out a crumpled cigarette, lit it, and started puffing away on the spot.
He understood that the settlement's actions this time were not worth the gain.
Just when Qing Xiao's thoughts were racing, the inventory on the side was in full swing.
"Three boxes of chocolates!"
"Five packs of toffee!"
"Five packs of compressed biscuits!"
…
As the counting progressed, the team members, including Shouhou, felt heartbroken.
He and his team risked their lives to snatch the supplies from the aberrations, and no one would be willing to do so if they had to hand it over.
Although heartbroken, several people were helpless in the face of the cruel reality.
The rich harvest of Qingxiao and his party far exceeded Nanyu's imagination.
Among them, they brought back many medicines that were in short supply in the settlements.
Originally, he thought that Qing Xiao and his party would be able to come back unscathed, but the harvest would definitely be unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, although the supplies will be withheld, the character of these soldiers is trustworthy.
The protection that should be given to the group will not be less, which is also the main reason why the group will sacrifice their lives for them.
"Let me tell you, this time..."
Thin Monkey put his body on Nanyu's shoulders and boasted about the group's experience this time very familiarly.
Faced with Shouhou's approach, Nanyu neither disliked nor had any intention of getting close to him. He just pushed away the arm on his shoulder with an expressionless face.
It didn't take long for the soldiers responsible for counting to finish the work at hand.
After returning the mountaineering bags filled with supplies to Qingxiao and his party, they left the place under the leadership of Nanyu.
Feeling that the hiking bag was much lighter in his hand, even though Qing Xiao had a good temper, he couldn't help but twitch on his face.
Eighty percent of the supplies obtained by the seven people were taken away by the people from Nanyu, and none of the precious medicines were left behind.
This is why foxes call them vampires.
"Old Chu, I'll leave here first!"
"Okay, Lao Zheng, remember to say hello to Xiaohua for me when you get back!"
After greeting the black-faced Chu Xuan, Qing Xiao left here with his team members.
After continuing to walk for a short distance in the dark sewer, some simple houses made of broken boards or rags began to appear sparsely in the distance.
A ragged, unkempt, skinny human being lay in it, not knowing whether to live or die.
My numb eyes could not see any hope of life.
When the seven people began to approach, the smell that filled the air made them cover their mouths and noses.
"Please, give me something to eat! I can do anything you want."
"I will serve you well, as long as you can give me a small piece of bread." A faceless woman stretched out her hand and took Qing Xiao's trouser leg and begged.
At the same time, she also tore off her thin clothes to reveal the skin with only bones underneath.
Although she tried her best to look more attractive, the stench all over her body would make even a lustful person forget about it.
Not to mention Qing Xiao who couldn't bring up the matter at all.
When Qing Xiao wanted to get rid of the woman on the ground, he found that the other party was pulling her tightly.
Although he could forcefully break free, when he met those eyes, he hesitated.
The movement caused by the group attracted the attention of many people.
Qing Xiao understood that if he softened his heart and gave food to the woman at his feet, a raging wave of refugees would be waiting for him.
He calmly took out a piece of compressed biscuit that had not been eaten for several bites from his coat pocket and put it into the woman's chest.
"You're a horse girl, you don't even have breasts, how dare you open your mouth?"
"If you dare to mess with me, be careful I'll kill you!"
After saying that, Qing Xiao forcibly separated the woman's hand holding the trouser leg, and walked forward cursing.
To an outsider, it looked like he took the initiative to touch the opponent's chest, and then left the scene angrily and dissatisfied.
"Thank you...thank you!"
Feeling the warmth on her chest, the woman lying on the ground couldn't help but burst into tears.
"The captain is really nice!" Shouhou and the others who witnessed the whole process were also filled with emotion.
"Who says it's not the case? If it weren't for the captain, we would have died long ago!"
Along the way, there were many women who promoted their big breasts to Qing Xiao, but they were ignored by him.
As Qing Xiao and his party left, the commotion gradually subsided, and the group finally stopped at a crossroads.
At this time, there were no longer the first refugee camps around, and instead there were houses built with hollowed-out walls near the canals.
The sewage channel originally located in the center of the sewer has also been replaced by a solid road surface.
"We will be separated for a while!"
"But I hope you will be well prepared in the past few days and not indulge in too much enjoyment."
"That's all, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing the disappearing figure of Green Owl, Slender Monkey and Werewolf looked at each other in confusion.
"Fox, what do you mean by captain?" Skinny Monkey scratched the back of his greasy head.
"What do you mean? What can it mean?" Weasel said angrily: "If you don't want to die, take advantage of these few days of rest to train hard. Don't know women all day long! Women!"
"If it weren't for the captain this time, I think you all know what the outcome would be."
Several other people were shocked and nodded in agreement.
Only the thin monkey saw the lemur's "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys" as if he was about to die, and seemed to have no hope for life.
We are also at this crossroads.
In one of the luxuriously decorated houses, candlelight illuminated the entire room.
A middle-aged man sitting on the boss's chair sniffed the cigar in his hand, and then held the cigarette butt in his mouth.
Seeing this, a young man quickly stepped forward to light the fire for the middle-aged man in front of him.
After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man slowly said: "How is the military's action this time?"
"Boss, according to my observation, the military seems to have suffered heavy losses this time, and the number of people who came back is less than half of those who left."
After hearing the younger brother's information, the middle-aged man sitting on the boss's chair smiled happily.
"Hahahaha! This time I see how those people still pretend to be Holy Mothers. When all of them are dead, I don't believe they can still support those trash."
"Tell me! What is going on?"
"yes!"
"According to the information returned from my little investigation, for some reason the aberrant body that had been weakened became active again."
"As a result, those scavengers who went out still followed their past experiences, which resulted in such a situation."
"But according to my guess, most of the victims were miscellaneous fish recruited later."
The middle-aged man who was still excited at first became a little gloomy.
"Hmph! I knew it would be like this."
Walking to the window, looking at the various compatriots outside the window, the middle-aged man took a puff of his cigar.
"Who else do you think knows about this matter?"
"The scavengers' families may not be able to hide it. After all, they suffered heavy losses this time."
"But we don't expect them to cause trouble, after all, their pension is pretty good."
When the younger brother mentioned the pension, there was a hint of sadness in his heart.
"I guess the Blood Wolf gang also got the news."
"Besides, those 'fat pigs' will probably know about it soon."
"Okay, let's leave this matter alone! Let's not reveal it yet."
"If those Holy Mothers have any request, just delay it. If you really can't, please cooperate with them."
"The first thing to do is to shoot the first bird. After all, the iron guy in someone's hand is no joke, and I am a good law-abiding citizen?"
"right?"
"Of course, boss, if you don't follow the law, I guess those people are just mobs!"
In the room, both of them laughed.
He laughed happily.
Bang~!
A strong aberration was dripping in the sewage, slamming hard against the iron fence in front of it.
A large amount of sewage flows through the gaps in the fence into the sewage river outside.
"Brother Hu, nothing will happen to this, right?"
Looking at the aberrant body outside the fence that looked like a madman and was beating on the fence crazily, the young man felt that his legs were weak and the urge to urinate rushed into his heart.
"What are you afraid of? If this ghost could break this place, it would have rushed in long ago."
"Don't worry about them. As long as we leave, they will leave on their own after a while."
The Tiger Brother in the young people's mouth was dismissive of this. He turned around and walked towards the depths of the sewer, dripping with sewage.
On his back was a large, bulging schoolbag.
Watching the figure gradually disappearing, the young man first looked back at the aberrant body outside the fence, shuddered, and quickly ran after Brother Tiger's back.
"Wait for me, Brother Tiger!"
The urban underground drainage system extends in all directions, and no one knows where there is a passage to the outside world.
Among the many sewers, this is a path that leads directly to the settlement and the outside world.
The passage sealed by interlaced steel bars makes people subconsciously ignore the possibility of its breakthrough.
I just don’t know when it started.
This iron fence was artificially modified into a road that can be freely dismantled and passed through.
From the outside, there is no difference from before.
But no one knows!
As the aberrations continue to slam into each other.
The originally tight fence began to loosen a little, and bits of cement peeled off the wall.
