Mengbao just froze there, not daring to move.

"Nuomi Nuomi, come here quickly and pour another bucket of sea water."

Ning Ke looked at the little guy who was hiding far away in fear, and her fear subsided a little. Instead, she found it a little funny.

This group of people have seen all kinds of storms, but now they are scared by a few leeches and are jumping around.

The more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and Ning Ke burst out laughing.

Her smile attracted the attention of Dabao and the others.

[Ningning, are you okay? ]

Ning Ke smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay."

After pouring the second bucket of sea water, no more leeches fell off Mengbao's body.

Looking at Mengbao, whose fur was wet and looked a little disheveled, Ning Ke walked up to it and checked it with amusement.

Finally, they rinsed it with fresh water, and then the animals left the river with fear on their faces.

Although the river water is clear, there are still all the horrible insects that should be there.

After dark, the cubs came back one after another, and Ning Ke reminded them of what happened at the river today.

Be careful when you take them to the river and don't let them stay in the water for too long.

The other little ones didn't react much, but the ones present today, especially Nuomi's big head, nodded very quickly.

Ning Ke couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and this time the child was scared to death.

……

Beach House

As the sky gradually darkened, Nan Qiao placed the half-dried kelp under the stone slab and pressed it down.

This is the method Uncle Lei and Aunt Lei taught her, so that the kelp will not swell too much when it is dried.

She always went to sleep at Hongyu's place at night. After locking the hut and about to leave, she saw a group of people slowly walking towards her from a distance.

Nan Qiao stepped back and looked at them cautiously.

The War Bear Team didn't expect to see a girl on the beach, and she lived there alone.

No, this house is newly built.

Xiong Lie grabbed his men and went forward to ask the question himself.

Unexpectedly, the little girl looked at them cautiously without saying a word.

This puzzled him. He scratched his head and looked at his physique.

Forget it, let’s go and don’t scare the little girl.

Seeing that the captain was about to leave, some people started muttering, but before they could finish their words, they were kicked twice.

"Just shut up! Why do you sound like the supporting actor who died tragically in a novel?"

When the others heard this, they lowered their heads and tried to hold back their laughter.

"Captain Bear, why do you say that to me?" the man muttered unconvinced.

Xiong Lie rolled his eyes and sneered, "You've been chattering all the way here. What's the matter? Are you the only one with a big mouth?"

So the plot of the apocalyptic novel I told you on the way was all in vain?

Use your brain and apply the content of the novel to reality.

Look, such a pretty girl, living alone in a brand new house.

Don't you see any problem? How dare a grown man like you live there alone?

There are flaws everywhere, and you're still chattering. It's an overestimation of you to say that you're a lower-tier male supporting role.

You are just that insignificant passerby."

Now the others couldn't hold it in any longer and started to laugh non-stop.

The man said nothing more, his face flushed and he lowered his head.

He found that what Team Bear said seemed to make sense. He looked back at the small house standing in the night and couldn't help shivering.

This fucking apocalypse, and there's also this fucking apocalypse novel that made him get scolded.

"Captain, let's camp here and rest for the night. Look, that girl is here alone. Doesn't that mean it's relatively safe here?"

They had walked a lot today and were really tired.

Xiong Lie thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Just as they were setting up camp, the patrol team from Changle received an order to come and check.

After showing their identification, the two teams resolved the differences and sat down around the fire.

The Xiong Lie team came all the way here on orders to buy rainbow tree seeds, and now the mission has been completed.

On the way back, they encountered danger and were chased in circles. They had no choice but to take the long way around and follow the coastline.

Xiong Lie felt a little ashamed when he saw his men wolfing down the grilled fish.

Their base is really too small, and we are lucky to be able to buy rainbow tree seeds this time.

"Brother, judging from your tone, you must be having a hard time."

"Yeah, it's not easy." Xiong Lie took a bite of fish and nodded.

The patrolmen looked at each other and handed Xiong Lie a cigarette.

Xiong Lie stared at the cigarette in front of him in shock, but did not reach out to take it.

He looked up at the smoking patrol captain with a puzzled look.

"Take it, brother. I don't mean any harm. Life in this world is too difficult nowadays." The patrol leader put the cigarette behind his ear.

After hearing this, Xiong Lie felt that the fish in his hand no longer tasted good.

"What else can we do? We still have to work hard to survive. I won't be willing to die."

The patrol leader nodded. "That's right. Better to live a miserable life than to die. Hey, brother, have you ever considered moving to a larger base? From the tone of your voice, it seems you don't have many people there."

"Hey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, we're just too poor, and the only people left in the village are the elderly, the weak, and children..."

The patrol leader heard this and continued, "Brother, let's not beat around the bush. We're from the Changle base, and some of us have moved here to plant crops, so we're short of manpower."

Xiong Lie immediately understood their purpose in getting close to him, but it didn't matter, he had nothing to lose.

"But we have few strong laborers."

"Well, that's not right. Let me tell you this: there is no discrimination against women, children and young adults in our area.

We can afford it, as you've seen along the way, and we're doing pretty well here."

"That's right, add a friend, go back and discuss it with your family. There's still time to migrate, as the cold season is almost here."

This sentence hit the nail on the head, and it made Xiong Lie's already wavering heart even more resilient.

"Hehe, brother, do you know why I want to recruit you into our Changle base?" The patrol captain asked him with a smile.

Xiong Lie shook his head.

"Do you know who that girl you saw was?"

Speaking of this topic, Xiong Lie's teammates became curious and stopped what they were doing to look at him.

The patrol captain smiled and said, "That's Miss Ning Kening's sister."

Xiong Lie's hand holding the grilled fish couldn't help but tremble, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at the team members who were pretending to be dead with their heads down not far away.

"Brother, I invited you to join our base because I saw that you all have good character. But if you have any bad thoughts towards that girl today, hehe..."

Well, there's no need for anyone to say it out loud. What will happen next is that they will die a miserable death.

Look, who says that apocalyptic novels are useless?

Xiong Lie sighed, "Brother, I want to too, but it's not easy to migrate."

When the patrol captain saw that there was hope, he stepped forward, pulled Xiong Lie away and whispered a few words to him alone.

"Really? Do you mean what you said?" Xiong Lie widened his eyes excitedly.

"That's right. Our Changle base is not bad either. It's also close to Miss Ning's territory. You can discuss it with your family tonight. If it's okay, I'll apply for it."

Xiong Lie nodded happily, "Okay, brother, just wait for my news."
