Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 122 Picking up people
"Squad leader, are you an earth element?"

Isn’t this nonsense!
He just came out of the rectangular earth wall in front of the two of them. They saw it with their own eyes. Do you still have questions?
These two are really stupid.

Zhang Shaoda glanced at the two of them, then turned and walked towards the big willow tree by the river.

He was so careless that he didn't even notice a huge snake that looked at least three meters long and as thick as his waist approached him.

If the boss knew about this, he would definitely be punished.

The earth wall blocking the willow tree disappeared, revealing a large willow tree with lush branches and swaying branches behind it. However, the main branch in the middle of the willow tree was empty.

Zhang Shaoda stood by the river and looked around, but he didn't see the yellow and green snake. He thought to himself, it runs pretty fast.

Ren Bin came over and complained in a low voice, "That thing is very good at digging holes, and it can also go into the water. Don't you think you would have caught it if you hadn't stopped me just now?"

Although he didn't really like eating snake meat, he had been eating too much vegetarian food in the past few months (not counting ham and luncheon meat), so if he could have some meat soup... Ren Bin couldn't help swallowing and looked at Zhang Shaoda with complaint again.

"You know nothing!"

Zhang Shaoda raised his hand and slapped him again, "Snakes are used to kill mice, they can't be killed casually."

Because of the appearance of mutant rats, they were very vigilant during this period. Fortunately, they only found a few on the first day, and no more were found after that.

From this, Jiang Minglang suspected that the mutated rats here were not local, but came from the south via the Pingjiang Bridge.

Bai Li also had a speculation that the giant python that was originally discovered entered Pingjiang. It is possible that there is more than one giant python in the river, or there are other mutant snakes near Pingjiang.

As we all know, snakes are the natural enemies of mice.

Therefore, the fact that there were not a large number of rats in Pengcheng may also be related to the mutant snakes.

Maybe some of them were killed by snakes when they were crossing the river.

So Bai Li suggested that as long as the number of snakes is under control, they should not be moved for the time being.

August is supposed to be the peak season for snakes to appear, but strangely, during the large-scale search for rats in both Baiguoyuan and Yunxi Village, not a single snake was encountered.

Clearly unusual.

But no matter what, too few snakes is not a good thing.

That's why Zhang Shaoda stopped Ren Bin from killing the snake.

"Next time you encounter a snake, don't move unless it attacks you."

"What if it attacks me?"

"You are so stupid,"

Lao Sheng also slapped Ren Bin on the head and was about to say that if it attacks you, you must fight back. But before he could finish his words, he heard their squad leader say, "Then why the hell can't you run away?"

Lao Sheng & Ren Bin:.
The two of them inexplicably recalled that one winter, the squad leader picked up a frozen rat snake and put it in his arms. Hey, he didn't mind the cold. Later, the snake came back to life, and he actually kept it in the dormitory. It was not until winter passed and spring came that he let the snake go under the order of the boss.

They all laughed at him at the time, thinking he was raising the snake as his own wife?
So, their boss hasn't changed his habit yet?

Lao Sheng looked at Zhang Shaoda with a complicated expression. Now he looks down on the rat snake and falls in love with the python?
He asked, "Does the boss know?"

Zhang Shaoda thought he was asking about not killing snakes, so he nodded and said, "I know."

Lao Sheng's eyes widened, "So he agrees too?"

"Why didn't he agree?"

"."

Lao Sheng and Ren Bin thought at the same time, what on earth has the boss been through? How can he satisfy the squad leader with such a perverted fetish?
I can’t find the big snake and I’ve stayed here long enough. It’s time to go home for dinner.

Zhang Shaoda waved at the two of them and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back to see the boss."

Fifteen minutes later, Lao Sheng and Ren Bin stood in front of Jiang Minglang with their postures straight, their eyes filled with excitement and tears.

"Report to the captain, Ren Bin has returned to the team!"

"Report to the captain, Sheng Xingyu has returned to the team!"

Otherwise, Ren Bin doesn't like to call Lao Sheng by his full name. Damn, he's big and strong, in his twenties but looks older than the team leader, yet he has a very poetic name.

When he was born, they must have been afraid that he would grow up to be so ugly, so they wanted to use an elegant name to suppress it.

Well, that's definitely the case.

"Sit down first."

Jiang Minglang looked at the two men, who were Zhang Shaoda's subordinates, and asked, "Tell me about your situation. Who of you will speak first?"

After leaving Yunzhou, the first city where the zombie virus broke out, everyone agreed to return home and protect their families first, and then deal with any abnormalities later.

Ren Bin spoke first, feeling a little disappointed. "I didn't see my grandparents when I got home. The neighbors around me were either bitten to death or turned into zombies. There was not a single survivor in our village. I searched for another month but still couldn't find them. Finally, I had no choice but to go to Sucheng to meet you. Then I ran into Lao Sheng downstairs in your community."

Since we couldn’t keep in touch after the end of the world, we wrote down our addresses when we separated so that we could find each other easily in case of special circumstances in the future.

As the team leader, Jiang Minglang wrote two names, one was from Sucheng and the other was his hometown in Pengcheng.

Ren Bin's father died of illness ten years ago, and his mother remarried, so he grew up with his grandparents. If he didn't find the two old people, there would be no point for him to stay there.

Lao Sheng wiped his face and said sullenly, "My old man has a bad temper. He could have protected me and my mother, but he got into a fight over something and both of them were stabbed. When I got home, he was just one breath away, and he died not long after."

This reminded Zhang Shaoda of his grandmother. He had not yet avenged her.

So he stared at Lao Sheng and asked, "What happened next?"

Lao Sheng glanced at Jiang Minglang and whispered, "I killed that group of people."

Zhang Shaoda raised his leg and kicked him, cursing, "I'll kill you, but why the hell are you whispering so quietly?"

Lao Sheng shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore.

"Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll take them to settle down."

Seeing that the captain had no opinion on his killing, Lao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and was completely reassured.

After lunch, Jiang Minglang placed the two of them in a two-story building in the southeast corner of Yunxi Village.

Nowadays, most villagers are law-abiding, and the few stubborn ones have been subdued by Bai Wei. In addition, Xue Deng and Bai Xiangyuan have also formulated a series of incentive measures for planting on unowned fields. Bai Xiangtian thinks this is a good phenomenon and can be implemented.

The most important thing is that someone has to cultivate the fenced fields, so Jiang Minglang feels that they should protect them as much as they can within their capabilities. After all, there are more than just the original inhabitants in the village now, there are also many who came later.

Ren Bin and Sheng Xingyu's special abilities are fire and speed respectively. Both of them have good combat capabilities, so it is appropriate for them to live in the southeast corner.

When Bai Yang heard that Lao Sheng had the same ability as him, he immediately became interested. In addition, he had been training with his brother-in-law every day during this period and thought that he had made rapid progress, so he wanted to compete with Lao Sheng to see how good he was.

However, it started with confidence but ended with astonishment.

When they were competing in speed, he thought he was very fast, but he was overtaken by Lao Sheng in just one second.

As for fighting, he couldn't even get close to Lao Sheng.

Zhang Shaoda chuckled, "Yangzi, I told you, your brother-in-law really didn't use even 10% of his strength when he trained you. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Sheng to check with your brother-in-law." Without waiting for Bai Yang to speak, Lao Sheng shivered and ran away like the wind, and his voice came from afar, "Squad leader, I have to go back to my residence to clean up."

Fight with the captain?

What a joke, he doesn't want to die!
Bai Yang spent the day in frustration, and the next day was still sunny and windy. However, things started to get uneasy under the Pingjiang Bridge.
"All zombies in Pengcheng have been cleared, and the animals have not mutated. If you want to stay here, please come here to register. In addition to having food and drink, we will also provide you with safe housing and farmland."

"Yes, yes, yes, register here. After registration, you can get a bottle of water."

"."

Ren Bin and Lao Sheng, who had just arrived to stake out the situation, looked at each other in bewilderment. They had just arrived and didn't understand what those people were doing, so Ren Bin stayed behind to continue stakeout while Lao Sheng went back to report.

Soon Jiang Minglang and Du Qiuyan followed.

There is a long table on the west side of the road coming down from Pingjiang Bridge. A man with a scar on his face is repeating the above words with a loudspeaker in his hand, and a middle-aged man with a square face is sitting behind the table.

In addition, Du Qiuyan also saw the short flat head.

He said to Jiang Minglang, "It's the group of people I told you about before. It seems that they have started to take action. Last time I heard from Qiao Fei, they planned to keep the house in the greenhouse area for the survivors, send a team to protect them, and let them make full use of the fields there."

To put it simply, it means finding someone to farm for them.

So that team of people should not be said to be protecting, but rather monitoring.

As for those core figures whom Li Nan considered himself to be, they wanted to occupy the government building and use it as an office after renovating it.

Du Qiyan was a little curious now. What had Li Nan and his team done with the government building? Could it be used normally?

And Qiao Fei, has he left or is he still there?

"It seems like there are a lot of people coming here today."

Jiang Minglang looked at the survivors who were walking down the Pingjiang Bridge. Although they all had dull and numb expressions, when they heard that they had food, drinks and a place to stay, their eyes immediately lit up again. Although they were exhausted from running all the way, they still rushed to the long table one after another.

"Me, me, me, I sign up."

"I will report it, too."

"Do you really keep your word? Do you really have food, drink and a place to stay?"

"Can I get some water? Where's the water? I want to drink some water."

The square-faced middle-aged man in charge of taking the names smiled gently, "Of course it's true. As long as you sign up, you can get a bottle of water."

When they heard that they could really get water, everyone crowded even harder.

"Line up, line up. If you don't line up, you won't get it."

I thought this sentence was useful, but in the end, these people who had been thirsty for who knows how long still squeezed forward regardless.

"Oh my goodness, are they all back from the south?"

After Jiang Minglang and Du Qiuyan came over, Xue Deng and Bai Wei followed behind.

This was the first time for the two of them to leave Yunxi Village since the end of the world. They were both stunned when they saw those pale, thin and haggard people coming down the bridge.

These are refugees.

Regardless of whether Jiang Minglang was cold to him or not, Bai Wei leaned over and asked quietly, "Brother-in-law, who are those people who wrote down the names and distributed the water? Were they sent by the government?"

“Do you think there is still a government?”

Bai Wei shook his head honestly, "I don't know, isn't this asking you?"

Jiang Minglang:
This guy is really an outlier in the Bai family, or it can be said that he doesn't look like a member of the Bai family at all.

"Is that so?" Seeing that Jiang Minglang didn't answer, he urged again.

Jiang Minglang said unhappily, "No."

"Then why are they so kind to distribute water?"

"Kind? You think they are kind?"

"Isn't it? Everyone was given a bottle of water for free." Didn't you see how thirsty those people were?

".Let me ask you, is it easy for us to drink water?"

"It's not that hard to drink water. We have a pressurized well."

After he finished speaking, Bai Wei realized that pressurized wells were not only found in Yunxi Village, but also in other places.

So isn’t water readily available in Pengcheng?
When he thought about it, he realized that those people were using the free well water to do good deeds.

But what’s the point?
It’s the middle of the day, aren’t you tired?

Not from the government.

Jiang Minglang really felt that talking to Bai Wei was too tiring, so he turned around and ignored him.

But Bai Wei didn't have that awareness. He patted Jiang Minglang on the shoulder and continued to ask, "Do you think it's possible for Bai Hua to come back?"

He asked this question seemingly heartlessly, but if you look closely you can see that his eyes were red after he said it.

No matter what, she was his sister. In the past few months, his father would run to the intersection once a day, but he would always return disappointed.

That damn girl, is she really not going to come back?
Before Jiang Minglang could reply to him, the short-haired guy who had been handing out water to people on the opposite side handed the work in his hands to someone else and strode towards this side.

"Brother Du."

He greeted Du Qiyan with a fake smile, "Yesterday, Brother Qiao told me that you left. Brother Nan and I thought you left Pengcheng and headed north, but it turns out that's not the case."

The bald guy glanced at Jiang Minglang and immediately remembered where he had met him. It wasn't that the place was special, but mainly because Brother Nan said that this person gave him a very dangerous feeling.

So Du Qiuyan knows this person?
"Do I need to tell you where I'm going?"

As soon as Du Qiyan finished speaking, the smile on the flat-headed man's face froze. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but he remained calm and said, "Of course, that's not necessary. I'm just worried about Brother Du. After all, we've lived and died together."

What do you mean by living and dying together? It was clearly him and Qiao Fei who saved them all.

However, Du Qiyan was too lazy to deal with such small minions. He said calmly, "You don't have many people, so hurry up and get busy."

Being insulted in public, the flat-headed man was very angry, but he said, "It's okay, I'll come over when I'm busy. So, Brother Du, are you here to take in these people too?"

Why would he come here without asking clearly about their purpose?
"Liu Er?"

At this moment, Bai Wei suddenly shouted, then waved at a thin young man who had just come down from the bridge, "You are still alive?"

"Brother Wei?"

When the young man named Liu Er saw Bai Wei, he staggered over and threw himself on him, crying loudly.

Du Qiyan said coldly at this time, "We are here to pick someone up."

　good night!
