Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 113 Newcomer

The couple came out yesterday with Xia Yonghua, Ning An and others. A warehouse was built inside the Baiguoyuan. Ning An and others wanted to follow their example and build a wall, so they followed them through the urban area of Pengcheng and went to a county town in the west to get cement and bricks.

Because all the supplies in the city have been used up, now if you want to use them, you can only look for them in the surrounding areas.

Fortunately I found it.

They left home yesterday and loaded five full trucks today, so they returned with a full load.

Jiang Minglang escorted the convoy from west to east, bypassing the urban area of Pengcheng. When they were about to arrive at Yunxi Village, he asked Ning An and others to take the convoy and go first.

Because they still have to rely on Xia Yonghua's team to help build the wall, Ning An will definitely get them into the Baiguoyuan safely.

Jiang Minglang stopped the car partly because he needed to refuel, and partly because he wanted to go back to the city to investigate.

He had previously speculated that the groundwater in Pengcheng was different from that in other places, and its reputation as an agricultural city might attract survivors from other places to settle here.

He wanted to see if anyone was coming, or how many were coming.

I didn't expect that just when I was about to refuel, I met someone I had never met before.

"That bastard Wang Yunliang wouldn't really send his son to Cheng Siyun, would he?"

Bai Li was not as perceptive as Jiang Minglang and did not realize how dangerous the people in the car were. She just thought that Wang Yunliang must have been holding back his fart when he came over.

Even though Wang Yu, that little bastard, really deserved to die, I really couldn't bring myself to kill her when I met her.

Who made him come out of Siyun's belly?

It would also be difficult to do anything to Wang Yunliang.

This father and son are so unlucky.

After refueling and restarting the car, Jiang Minglang looked at the car in front and said to Bai Li, "Is the car in front going to investigate our area?"

Although he used a questioning tone, he was almost certain.

Coming from the road south of Yunxi Village, it is hard not to see Yunxi Village surrounded by walls on three sides. After all, compared with many dead villages, it is really eye-catching.

In the past, there were no outsiders, and not many local people in Pengcheng dared to go out. In addition, the countryside is now vast and sparsely populated. If you don’t look closely, but only from a distance, the few earthen walls in the fields are actually not conspicuous.

But that's from a distance.

If they got closer and saw the high walls of Baiguo Garden, Jiang Minglang knew that it would be hard not to attract the covetousness of others for their place.

For example, the bald gang we encountered in a supermarket in the city before.

At the beginning, the two sides only clashed in the urban area. Two gangs came and were killed by him and Da Zi. He really didn't take them seriously.

At first, those people thought they were survivors gathered in a villa area, so even if they wanted to seek revenge on them, they only searched in Pengcheng. Until last week, they accidentally went to the outskirts of the city and happened to meet Zhou Lei and his friends picking watermelons in a watermelon field near Zhoujiazhuang.
They seemed to have just realized that there was food in the fields.

What a joke, is this an agricultural city just given this name casually?
Pengcheng may not have much other things, but it has a lot of farmland.

The end of the world broke out at the end of April, when there was almost no field left uncultivated; all the fields were planted with crops.

Countless people died after the apocalypse, resulting in almost 70% of the land becoming ownerless.

Seventy percent, what does that mean?
It means that you can just go to the field and harvest a lot of it.

This is why Bai Li did not go to the city for a period of time in June, but instead took Cheng Siyun and Xia Min to harvest as much as possible in the fields around Yunxi Village.

If they are not harvested, they will rot in the fields, which is very heartbreaking.

Even so, countless wheat and rice fields are left unattended and destroyed.

But the bald gang doesn't think so at all. They have been hanging out in the city all their lives. Who would have nothing better to do than to go work in the fields?

How tiring.

Wouldn’t it be better to just go to the supermarket in the city and grab some ready-made ones?
Of course, it’s better to have ready-made watermelon to eat.

Bai Li also wanted to eat watermelon that day. Although they had planted some in their orchard, they were of a different variety and not yet ripe.

The ripe melons on the land in Zhoujiazhuang were planted by Zhou Lei's parents. They used to rely on selling the melons from this land to make some money, but now, of course, they just pick and eat them.

So she took Qiqi and Xiaowu, as well as Cheng Siyun and Xia Min, and the group happily picked melons in the fields.

Then, they encountered a bald gang robbing them.

Of course, the bald guy died a long time ago. Without him, they wouldn’t have known that they were in the same group.

But it doesn’t matter whether you know it or not. Anyway, if you want to steal something, I will definitely not give it to you.

There were six adults, three children and a dog in total.

Facing them were fifteen strong men.

Zhou Lei spontaneously regarded himself as the leader, and Zhou Hui couldn't stop him until one of the opponents pulled out a gun, and then he stood still.

Then, the gun appeared in less than five seconds, and suddenly, somehow, it was in his hands.

Oh, now I remember, it was a vine that wrapped around the opponent's arm without anyone noticing, and then another vine rolled up the gun and threw it into his hand.

As for why it was given to him, it was because he was the only one among the six of them who had played with a gun.

But what if you’ve played it before?
So what if I got the gun?
It's of no use.

Bai Li's vines caught the other party off guard. By the time they reacted, Cheng Siyun had already run over and punched them one by one.

These two women are really fierce. One of their vines can pierce through a person's neck, and one of them is so strong that she can knock a person away with one punch.

In less than three minutes, the fifteen strong men had all fallen to the ground motionless.

Bai Li was reminded of the bald man she had killed before because of the gun.

Later, after discussing with Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda, I felt that it would be better if this kind of gang that survives by robbing others did not exist.

It took them only one day to find a so-called gathering place for survivors, which was a high-end villa community in Pengcheng Development Zone.

The leader is a person with special powers. Before the end of the world, he was a teacher in a martial arts school for teenagers and had some real kung fu skills.

Zhang Shaoda has been itching to fight countless times, but he usually doesn't dare to practice with Jiang Minglang. After all, he is afraid of getting beaten no matter how itching he is.

But beating up others is another matter.

He thought that this guy had kung fu and super powers, so he would have to fight for a few rounds. But he fell down in three moves.

Too disappointing.

Zhang Shaoda was so angry that he beat the man severely. When he was about to kill him, a girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old ran over and stabbed the man in the stomach with a knife.

There was not just one girl. Three more came out from behind, but only the first one dared to stab her directly.

Bai Li released the people from the basement of a villa, twelve in total.

They confiscated all the guns of the gang, took some of the supplies, and left the rest for the twelve girls, who could stay in the villa or go home.

After following the car in front for a while, Jiang Minglang randomly found an intersection to turn.

There are almost no cars on the road nowadays, so it would be impossible for him to follow so blatantly.

At this time, in the car being followed, the man in the passenger seat asked Wang Yunliang expressionlessly, "You said that the village inside the earth wall over there has a wall?"

Wang Yunliang nodded vigorously. "Not only is there a wall outside the village, there is also a white fruit orchard. You are not from here, so you may not know the white fruit orchard. It is an orchard owned by a family named Bai. They grow all kinds of fruits, including apples, peaches, pears, and cherries. There are many varieties. The most important thing is that the Bai family who owns the orchard are very good at taking care of the fruit trees. When the time comes, the trees will bear so many fruits that you can't imagine how popular their orchard is here. Now it's July, and if nothing else, there must be a lot of peaches and watermelons."

When the man heard what Wang Yunliang said, he turned his head and glanced at him. His face was expressionless and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Only fruit trees in there?"

Wang Yunliang was stunned, then immediately shook his head, "How could that be possible? There are also vegetable fields and farmland. When I went there today, I took a look and saw many people working in the fields. I have farmed before, and I knew at a glance that the land they were working on had been harvested. In other words, they harvested the wheat and early rice."

“Wheat and early rice?”

There was a slight ripple on the man's calm face. Flour and rice, these are the staple foods.

Wang Yunliang kept paying attention to the man's expression while he was speaking. He couldn't tell anything before, but now he finally saw the change and hurried to strike while the iron was hot. "Yes, yes, I was just standing at the entrance of the village, still some distance away from the village, but I smelled the fragrance of steamed buns. What does this mean? It means that Yunxi Village has enough food and no one is starving. Not to mention that the village is surrounded by a wall, so it's very safe."

Speaking of steamed buns, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Although he didn't smell it just now, it didn't stop him from drooling at the thought of steamed buns.

Steamed buns, those soft, big white steamed buns. He almost forgot what they tasted like.

The man glanced at Wang Yunliang, and his expression returned to normal. "You said that the man who was following our car just now, is he the leader of Yunxi Village?"

"It should be his father-in-law, but I think at a time like this, his father-in-law would definitely listen to him."

"You said he was a soldier? What kind?"

"Ah?" Which one?
Wang Yunliang really didn't know which military branch Jiang Minglang belonged to before, because Bai Li kept it a secret and never told Cheng Siyun.

But now you can't say he didn't know.

Wang Yunliang rolled his eyes and said casually, "It is said that he is a special forces soldier with some abilities."

I don’t know if this sentence failed to gain the man’s trust, but he didn’t speak again after that.

Wang Yunliang was nervous and couldn't figure out what this man was thinking.

When they were almost at the neighborhood where his home was, he couldn't help but ask again, "Brother, are you going to Yunxi Village? If so, I can lead the way for you."

The man did not answer him, but asked another question, "Do you know the groundwater in your area?"

Ok?
groundwater?
What happened to the groundwater?
Wang Yunliang looked confused.

Today's trip to Baiguoyuan was his first time back to the countryside since the end of the world. Although his hometown was also in the countryside, his family moved to the city more than ten years ago. The land and house of his hometown had been sold long ago, so he had no place to live when he returned to the countryside.

There were no pressurized wells in the city, so naturally he didn't know that the water from the wells in the countryside of Pengcheng was drinkable.

When the man saw him like this, he knew that he was a fool who knew nothing.

As agreed before, they dropped Wang Yunliang and his son off at the gate of the community, then quickly drove away without giving Wang Yunliang a chance to inquire further.

"Brother Jun, should we go take a look at the Yunxi Village this person mentioned?"

After the car drove about a hundred meters, the driver with a flat head started asking.

"You can watch it, but there's no need to fight for it."

"why?"

The man glanced at the small platform and sneered, "Do you think that with just ten of us, we can defeat that guy?"

"Is he that powerful?"

"It's definitely better than you and me."

The flat-headed man thought for a moment and asked, "If Qiao Fei comes, don't you think Qiao Fei will be his match?"

The man was immediately furious when he heard this, "Do you have a stupid brain? Have you forgotten what Qiao Fei did before the end of the world? They are both soldiers, maybe they know each other. Even if they don't know each other, do you think Qiao Fei will help us seize other people's territory? He will definitely bury you in a pit first."

The bald guy said awkwardly, "Not really. It's the end of the world, who cares whether you join the army or not? Besides, we helped Qiao Fei, so he won't do that."

"Shut up!"

The man interrupted the crew-headed man, "I'm warning you, when Qiao Fei and Du Qiyan come over, don't say anything about snatching territory in front of them. You don't understand, for people like them, there are some things they can do, but there are some things that are their bottom line and can't be done. If they know that you have such thoughts in your heart, they will never treat you as one of their own again, understand?"

Although the flat-headed man didn't agree with it in his heart, he answered honestly, "I understand, brother Jun. Don't worry, I will definitely not say anything nonsense."

The car passed the intersection, and about twenty seconds later, a black jeep that was parked motionless on the side of the road was started, then slowly turned, and drove out when the car in front was about to disappear from sight.

Half an hour later, Jiang Minglang parked his car at the most famous greenhouse area in the western suburbs.

This place is in the west and east of Yunxi Village, and they are two opposite points. The agricultural products before the end of the world are also completely different. Here, they are more inclined to greenhouse vegetables in winter.

So at a glance, the greenhouses are one after another.

It’s too hot in July, so there’s no need for a greenhouse?
Of course not, but the end of the world came at the end of April, when the temperature was less than ten degrees. Some greenhouses had their covers uncovered on the shelves, while others had only opened a hole but not completely uncovered, resulting in a sea of white in sight now.

After all, too many people died and no one took care of the greenhouse anymore.

"Tsk, these guys found a good place."

This place is the closest to the urban area of Pengcheng. It is called the countryside, but it is similar to the city. However, the housing and comfort are much more spacious than in the city. There are neat and uniform two-story buildings, one for each family, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Bai Li watched the car that was following them stop in front of a building and asked Jiang Minglang, "If the land here can be used just as well as ours, why would they still want to take over our orchard?"

There are no orchards here in the greenhouse area, but fruit is not a necessity. There is no need to fight over a few fruits, right?

　good night!
