Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 106 A Different Atmosphere
Because Bai Li had been thinking about the things she hadn't bought in the mall, especially a children's shoe store she hadn't visited. Qiqi's feet grow fast, and a pair of shoes often becomes too small within a year, so she wanted to stock up on some larger-sized shoes.

After finishing his business with Zhang Shaoda and before reaching Baiguoyuan, Jiang Minglang simply turned around and went to the city.

On the one hand, we wanted to capture those kids, and on the other hand, we wanted to see how many zombies had poured into the city after the heavy rain last night, and whether there were any other things besides zombies.

Especially the black thing that Ning An and the others mentioned, which was hard to tell what it was.

Compared to yesterday, there were indeed a lot more zombies in the urban area. The two of them went around in circles, killed some, blocked some with walls, and finally arrived at the supermarket that they had cleared yesterday.

The two men stopped the car and Jiang Minglang got in first. Zhang Shaoda sat in the car without moving. He lowered the seat and half-lay on the chair. Looking through the rear windshield, it seemed as if there was no one in the car.

What a joke, if they hadn't discovered it after following them all the way, he and his brother would have retired from the army long ago.

About ten minutes later, the car following behind drove cautiously to the intersection across the alley and stopped.

But before the battle stopped for three minutes, Zhang Shaoda heard a familiar gunshot.

He didn't move, but he had already determined that the tires of the car following them had been shot out by a gun.

hiss!
The third party took action.

Yes, as early as on the way here, they noticed that there was someone spying from a nearby high-rise building, and they were sure that no one was there yesterday.

They still followed the original plan and drove the car to the back door of the supermarket. Then Jiang Minglang went upstairs alone to the children's shoe store to get the shoes, while Zhang Shaoda waited downstairs.

What he didn't expect was that the person who was peeping at them and the one who was following them started fighting.

A dozen people surrounded Ning An's car, and then seven people rushed into the alley and headed towards Zhang Shaoda's car.

After taking a glance at the people over there who obviously outnumbered this side, Zhang Shaoda's expression looked a little strange.

When they were almost in front of the car, they opened the door and walked out.

Seeing someone getting out of the car, the group of people who were walking quickly stopped, as if they did not expect there was someone in the car.

But he soon raised the knife and stick in his hands and pointed them at Zhang Shaoda.

He raised his eyebrows. He hadn't practiced for a long time. Today he wouldn't use his superpowers or weapons. He would just play with them with his bare hands.

But he never expected that the group of people who came at him aggressively and wanted to kill him could not last more than two minutes.

It's like it's over before we even warm up.

Zhang Shaoda was bored.

He looked up at the intersection opposite. The three people in the car had already gotten out, but the fight had not started yet because there were not only a dozen people on the other side, but one of them was holding a gun.

This reminded him of the bald guy he killed yesterday, who also had a gun in his hand.

For someone like Zhang Shaoda who is used to touching guns, he can tell at a glance where the guns in their hands come from: the police station!

Or it could be searched from a policeman who turned into a zombie.

They must not have many guns, otherwise there wouldn't be a large group of people coming out every time but only one person carrying a gun.

But the guy holding the gun is really stupid. How can he shoot here at this time?

As they walked along, they clearly noticed that Pengcheng today was different from yesterday.

But now, because he quickly knocked out a group of people, both groups of people turned their heads to look at him.

And he saw two familiar faces: the wooden-faced pretty boy named Ning An and his companion!
Damn, why is it him?

Why are you following us?
He really didn't expect it to be Ning An. After all, that group of people gave him a good impression. At least they were different from this group of people.

Zhang Shaoda walked towards the intersection, but after taking only two steps, he heard an unusual movement. The two groups of people confronting each other in front of him turned their heads at the same time, and their faces changed.

At this moment, an unexpected scene occurred: the man who pointed the gun at Ning An and the other two suddenly turned the gun towards Zhang Shaoda and pulled the trigger.

My day!

Zhang Shaoda's pupils shrank, and he waved his hand. A ball of soil that was bigger than a watermelon flew towards the bullet. With a bang, the bullet exploded the ball of soil, and broken pieces of soil scattered all over the ground.

"what"

Suddenly there was a scream, and Ning An had a knife in his hand. Before the group of people could react, he swung the knife and the man who shot Zhang Shaoda, the arm holding the gun fell to the ground.

Then he turned his head and smiled at Zhang Shaoda, "Brother, I will avenge you."

Zhang Shaoda raised his eyebrows. This chatterbox is a good person. He has become their scapegoat and wants to vent his anger for them. Okay, this buddy can be dealt with.

The scream seemed to give the zombies guidance, and they rushed over immediately.

Ning An and the other two were surprisingly smart enough to hide back in the car the moment the zombies pounced on them.

The dozen or so people turned around and ran. Zhang Shaoda built a wall in front of himself and watched the zombies run past him with a swagger.

Perhaps the scream was stimulating enough, the zombie group took five minutes to run away.

When they arrived, Jiang Minglang came out of the mall carrying two large bags of shoes.

He opened the trunk as if nothing had happened and put the shoes in his hand in it, then ran a few more times and stuffed a pile of clothes in, until the back seat of the car was full before stopping.

Ning An got out of the car again. Jiang Minglang frowned and asked unhappily, "Why are you following us?"

"Brother, we don't mean anything else, we just..." Ning An scratched his head embarrassedly, "We just want to find a place with water to live."

Jiang Minglang was puzzled. "Any place with a pressurized water well in the countryside is fine. You can find any place and live wherever you want."

"A pressure well?"

Ning An looked confused, "You mean, your water source is a well?"

"Otherwise, what do you think it is?"

".Can the water from the well here be drunk?"

Jiang Minglang paused, looked at Ning An, and asked, "Can't the water in the underground wells in Pingcheng Township be drunk?"

"No!" Ning An answered firmly, "We have been in Pingcheng since the end of the world. Brother Song, our eldest brother, went to the surrounding countryside to look for water. The water from the pressurized wells there is muddy and cannot be drunk."

After he said this, Jiang Minglang fell silent.

Not only him, Ning An also fell silent.

Two minutes later, Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda left.

Ning An and his friends' car had a flat tire, so they had to find a new one.

"Brother, it can't be that only the groundwater in Pengcheng is drinkable, and the groundwater in other places is not drinkable, right?"

Jiang Minglang didn't know, but he felt that even if there were drinkable water sources in other places, there might not be many. He even suspected that among the surrounding cities of Pengcheng, the water in Pengcheng might be the only drinkable one.

This was not good news. Because there were obviously more zombies in the city, we still had to take a long detour on the way back.

When I returned to Baiguoyuan, I didn't see my wife and son.

Zhang Shaoda didn't see Xia Min either. When he asked, he found out that two adults and one child had gone out with a dog.

"We didn't go far. We went to the express delivery station in town."

Express station?

Jiang Minglang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, the town where they had studied was quite close and could be reached in ten minutes by electric bike.

But Bai Li didn't come to the town just to open the express delivery. There is an agricultural and forestry station here, and she came mainly to help Bai Xiangtian collect seeds.

At this time, all the seeds had been loaded into the van. Xia Min and Qiqi were excitedly unpacking the packages. No matter what they unpacked, they threw them all into the snakeskin bag and took them all back.

Bai Li stood on the empty street, looking at the desolation and defeat all around her, feeling a sense of melancholy.

She still remembered that every time she came to town as a child, there was an old lady who always sat at the door of a hardware store, smiling and waving at her, "Lizhi, come here, grandma has saved some delicious food for you."

She had long forgotten what the woman looked like, but she could not forget the smiling old lady.

such a pity.
My grandma has been gone for almost 20 years, and my uncle
I wonder if that woman would feel regret and guilt when she heard that her uncle and grandma had a car accident on the way to see her?
"Mom, please come over and help. There are too many. Sister Xia Min and I can't finish taking them apart."

Qiqi's shout woke Bai Li, who was lost in her memories. She turned and walked into the express station, picked up the utility knife next to her, and unpacked the boxes with the two of them.

Half an hour later, after finishing the dismantling of this express station, they loaded the items into the car and went to another one.

After searching all the express delivery stations in the town and picking up leaks in two supermarkets, until the van was full, the three of them clapped their hands and prepared to go back.

Before getting on the car, Qiqi leaned against a tree to urinate. Bai Li stood beside him. She had sensitive ears, and there was no one in the town now. It was so quiet that it was eerie, so she could easily hear a car whizzing towards them.

Xiaowu, who was peeing with Qiqi, immediately lowered his raised hind legs, turned to face the direction of the car, and made a threatening whimpering sound.

The vine in Bai Li's hand was wrapped around her arm like a green snake, and she looked coldly at the white car that was getting closer and closer.

Qiqi pulled up his pants, grabbed his short knife and quickly rushed into the van. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly called his name, "Qiqi?"

Before the car door was closed, Qiqi curiously stuck his head out and saw a face that was completely unfamiliar to him.

He didn't agree to the other party and cleverly closed the car door.

Jiang Laoer, who was sitting in the car, had a flash of annoyance in his eyes, but his face remained unchanged. When he was almost beside Bai Li, he looked through the open car window and asked her calmly, "When did you come back? Where's Minglang?"

Bai Li felt that this person was completely incomprehensible. They had nothing to do with each other, but he spoke to her in such a familiar tone.

Did he forget?

They had never spoken to each other before the end of the world, so what kind of greeting were they saying now?
She glanced at Jiang Laoer, ignored him, turned around, got into the car, started and left.

"Mom, who is this person?"

When the car drove out of the town, the white car was no longer visible. Qiqi asked Bai Li curiously, "Do you know him?"

"do not know."

"It turns out he's a psychopath."

Bai Li glanced at her son through the rearview mirror, a smile flashing in her eyes.

Xia Min saw that Bai Li was very disgusted with the man just now, so she tactfully didn't ask.

After returning to Baiguoyuan, Bai Li did not tell Jiang Minglang that she met his father in town, and quickly forgot about it.

Because of the heavy rain last night, they were more active in building walls and harvesting crops.

Bai Xiangtian even called the bricklayers from Yunxi Village over, and together with the workers here, he asked Xia Yonghua to form two teams, one team here and the other team to build the wall in Yunxi Village.

At the same time, Xue Deng also organized the women in the village to dig sweet potatoes and harvest wheat.

There were a lot of unharvested wheat fields. There was no way around it. The number of deaths was far greater than the survivals, so all the fields were left alone.

When she came back from town in the morning, Bai Li saw two acres of early corn. She didn't know who it belonged to, but she knew that the village to which the land belonged was no longer populated.

So in the afternoon, I changed my clothes and rode a tricycle to take Cheng Siyun and Xia Min to pick corn.

Even though her father contracted so much land, he was reluctant to let Bai Li do any work, so Cheng Siyun was dissatisfied with her speed for the whole afternoon.

In the end, Cheng Siyun and Xia Min broke up, and she moved to the car.

The three of them worked very hard, and after an afternoon, they finally managed to break off half an acre of land.

Fresh corn can be eaten for a long time if stored in a cold storage, so Bai Li plans to harvest all the corn from the two acres of corn.

When I went there again the next day, there were two more people, Zeng Sujie and Yan Qirui's sister Yan Zhu.

The early corn fields have no owner, whoever breaks them owns them.

Bai Li found that Yan Zhu was a smart girl. She didn't pick a lot of corn, just enough for the family to eat for a while.

But after she went back and put down the corn, she called her mother, aunt and sister-in-law to come over and cut an acre of early rice not far away.

Her family is from outside, and her great aunt's family doesn't have much land, and when I went to see it yesterday, a lot of it had been harvested by others. They harvested all the remaining wheat, but the aunt said that they wouldn't get much from making flour.

So if you want to store food, you have to think of other ways.

But in fact it is very easy. Now as long as you are not lazy, you can harvest anything from the field.

Zhou Lei did the same thing after being criticized by Jiang Minglang.

There are so many edible crops and vegetables in the fields. You can't just say there is nothing to eat, right?
As a result, Yunxi Village presented an atmosphere that was completely opposite to the end of the world. Everyone got up early in the morning and either went to their own fields or to the surrounding unowned but mature farmlands. In any case, they tried their best to harvest everything they could see.

The spirit is high and the party is in full swing!
Fortunately, God was helpful. Apart from the lightning and thunder that night, the sun came out again, which was a rare occurrence.

After a week, the wall of Baiguo Garden had been completely built, and most of Yunxi Village had also been surrounded, with only the last third left.

However, the fields in Yunxi Village have not yet been fenced off. This project is quite large and there is not enough bricks and cement.

Finally, for safety reasons, Zhang Shaoda built a circle of earth wall.

I don’t know if it’s because Jiang Minglang exploited him too much, but Zhang Shaoda felt like he had made some progress, as evidenced by the fact that the hardness of his earth wall had increased.

Xiaowu is also better than before.

Because the weather was getting warmer, in order to prevent the zombie corpses from causing bigger problems, Jiang Minglang asked Qiqi to take Xiaowu, and the three of them to wander around Yunxi Village and burn the zombies.

After burning this side, they headed towards the road leading to Pingjiang Bridge.

Just like squeezing Zhang Shaoda, Jiang Minglang was squeezing Xiaowu, and finally made it spit out a fireball as big as a watermelon.
　good night!
