Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 139 Something is wrong

By this time the sun was setting and it was getting dark.

But the greenhouse area in the west of the city was not as quiet as usual. On the road at the edge of the greenhouse area, an earthen wall about three meters high rose from the ground.

"Captain Jiang."

It was a hot day, but Li Nan was wearing long sleeves and long pants, with cloth tied around his hands and wrists. The knife in his hand was covered in black blood, and except for the blade, the original color was almost invisible.

Li Nan, who was sitting on the ground resting, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Minglang coming over.

He stood up and walked over to them, but his expression changed before he even got close to them. “You guys were also attacked by zombies to the east?”

Jiang Minglang had just killed a zombie at the northern highway intersection. Although there was no blood on his body, in this kind of weather, he would inevitably have some corpse smell.

Even so, is Li Nan's sense of smell too sensitive?

After all, when it comes to the stench of corpses, it is obviously stronger on their side, and almost everyone has it, but he can still smell it from him?
"To be honest with you, Captain Jiang, my nose has suddenly become unusually sensitive since the weather got hot."

It happened only in the past ten days, but the feeling at the beginning was not so wonderful, instead it made him feel uncomfortable and almost collapsed. At the same time, Li Nan was very depressed. Since the end of the world, he initially thought that he had awakened speed, because his reaction was obviously faster than before, and his strength was also improved.

He felt that he had the dual abilities of strength and speed.

But as time went by in the apocalypse, after coming into contact with real speed and strength psychics, he realized that he was neither. Later, after discussing this issue with Jiang Minglang, he realized that in addition to psychics with particularly obvious characteristics, there is another type of existence comparable to psychics, that is, people with improved physical fitness in all aspects, and even compared with psychics, they are not inferior.

For example, Jiang Minglang’s old subordinate Xu Bo.

But he never expected that one day he would gain superpowers, let alone the sense of smell.

Damn, are they treating him like a dog?
"I didn't see any zombies in the east, but someone entered Pengcheng from the highway exit in the north, attracting a lot of zombies."

Jiang Minglang briefly talked about the zombies at the North Expressway intersection, but of course he did not mention a word about the invaders who were killed by his son and Gigi in the back mountain.

He looked around and found that the fields in the greenhouse area had been surrounded by earth walls by Li Nan and his team. Two of the fields were lush and green, and it was obvious that they were irrigated every day. The others were almost all withered, similar to those in Yunxi Village.

But even though it was withered, Li Nan still protected it and prevented the zombies from trampling it.

After all, these lands will still be cultivated in the future. Now that he has a new direction, he cherishes the land very much. As long as they have set up a circle for cultivation, no unnecessary waste is allowed.

"When did this start for you?"

Looking at the mess on the road and in the pit next to it, it was obvious that Li Nan had been fighting here for quite some time. Even on the other side of the earth wall, there were quite a few zombies roaring and ramming against the wall.

"They came at noon today. There weren't many of them at first. Although they were harder to kill than the previous zombies, they were manageable. So I took them and planned to go to the west to have a look after we finished killing them. But I didn't expect that after we killed one wave, another wave would come. It was endless. I saw that something was wrong, so I asked Kunzi to inform you and the captain of the guard an hour ago."

Li Nan paused here. He thought that Jiang Minglang came from the north, so he might not have met Kunzi.

Zombies appeared in the north, and Jiang Minglang came around to take a look after he dealt with them.
Thinking of this, Li Nan couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had made the right choice before and didn't become enemies with Jiang Minglang. Even though they weren't friends yet, they were just neighbors, and he could still do this.

Even though Pengcheng is safe only when he is here, many people still don't have his awareness.

The two were chatting when Kunzi, who had gone to inform Wei Lichuan, returned.

Seeing Jiang Minglang here, Kunzi was stunned for a moment. Behind him, Xu Bo and Zhou Lei walked over quickly.

"Every evening, the animals on the other side of Pingjiang would come to the river to drink water. At this time, the captain of the guard had to stay there and could not leave."

Because Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda went to track the source of the two cars, Xu Bo was not sure when they would return, so he took Zhou Lei here to see what the situation was.

"Brother Nan, the wall is about to crack."

The zombies couldn't climb over the three-meter-high earth wall, so they kept ramming it over and over again. Finally, they broke a crack in the thick earth wall.

Soon the crack spread out like a spider web and was about to collapse.

"Captain Jiang, something is wrong."

Li Nan spoke as he raised the knife in his hand. From noon today until now, he and his brothers have been rushing to the front, killing zombies while also protecting their own people from getting hurt.

"To the west is Huanglong County. It's not that there's no one there. There's also a group of survivors gathered in a village on the outskirts of the county town. Last time I went to see them, there were about 120 of them, which is not a small number. With so many zombies coming here, could it be that the village has been massacred? Even if it has been massacred, it's unlikely that the zombies in the west will always run here."

Li Nan also thought about sending a speedster to take a look, but he only had Kunzi, a speedster who had been with him since before the apocalypse. He treasured him very much and would not easily let him take risks.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the earth wall finally collapsed, but in the blink of an eye, a one and a half meter high thick wall rose up, revealing the densely packed zombie heads behind it.

"Son, lend me your knife."

Qiqi had been standing next to Jiang Minglang. His dagger was pulled out by his father, and it flew into the zombie group, spinning, and then their heads fell off one by one.

Some of those who missed the opportunity squeezed to the wall or even tried to climb over the wall, but were hacked to death by the people guarding the wall.

"Kunzi, go get some headlights with batteries."

It was about to get dark, but they wouldn't be able to get a good rest tonight unless they got rid of these zombies.

Li Nan might have been a little worried before, but now with Jiang Minglang's help, he is more confident.

In order to achieve a quick victory, Zhang Shaoda and Xu Bo even climbed over the wall and rushed into the zombie group. The two of them stood back to back and cooperated with each other, slowly rushing towards the west.

Kunzi's heart was burning with excitement. He challenged Li Nan, "Brother Nan, let me go too."

Others are here to help them, there is no reason for them to stand on the wall and fight conservatively.

"me and you togather."

He was not the only one who was excited. Li Nan also wanted to let go and have a go.

However, before entering, he blocked his nostrils with a ball of paper.

An hour later, there was not a single zombie left on the road, and they had all turned into mummies.

Someone voluntarily pushed the zombies into a pit beside the road and set it on fire. He was the only fire element on Li Nan's side. When Jiang Minglang came over, he was resting because his superpowers were exhausted. Now, more than an hour has passed, and although his superpowers have not been fully restored, there is no problem burning the corpses.

"Today, thanks to Captain Jiang for coming to help, everyone thanks Captain Jiang."

"Thank you, Captain Jiang."

"Thanks."

"."

Amid the voices of thanks, everyone's eyes were on Jiang Minglang. They even applauded, with sincere gratitude and joy on their faces.

According to Li Tou's previous plans and intentions, the greenhouse area was to be built into an agricultural base in the future. Their food and vegetables would not only be used to feed themselves, but also sold to the troops and exchanged with survivors from other cities.

Such a base has now developed into a prototype, and they certainly don't want to move unless it is absolutely necessary.

And now Captain Jiang has come to help, all thanks to Tou Li.

Among the passionate gazes, two of them were completely different from the others. They were complex, regretful, and mixed with a little hatred and resentment.

"Dad, look at your eldest son, he's so majestic!"

Jiang Zhijie also held a knife in his hand. He looked at Jiang Minglang with a mocking tone, then turned to ask Jiang Laoer, "You didn't expect that this Li Tou we came here to seek refuge with would actually be Jiang Minglang's friend."

Yes, although Fengqiao Village is not too far from Yunxi Village, there are many survivors in the village. But unfortunately, after the end of the world, everyone is in a state of panic, just living day by day, never making plans and just farming.

After they had eaten all the food in their own homes, they would search empty houses, and then rob. First they would rob in their own village, and then they would search and rob in other villages.

In the area of Baiyun Town, it can be said that except for Yunxi Village and the nearby Mudan Village, almost all other villages have been visited by them.

After they had eaten all the looted things, they started to fight and snatch from each other again, until finally the Jiang family and the other six families were the only ones left in Fengqiao Village with a decent relationship.

There was nothing left to grab and everyone was left with no other options but to think of another way out.

The reason why he chose to go to Li Nan instead of staying near him was because Jiang Laoer didn't want to bow down in front of his eldest son who had been abandoned by him.

Of course there was another reason, which was that he didn't think that if he went there, Jiang Minglang would take in his family.

There was no father-son relationship between him and him before, and there is even less now.

If you don't want to make yourself unhappy, you can only seek other ways out and stay away from him.

But he didn't expect that he would meet him when he got here.

Looking at his eldest son who was the center of attention in the crowd, Jiang Laoer felt regretful, especially when he saw his eldest grandson who followed him but didn't even recognize his grandfather. The regret in his heart was so intense that it spread throughout his body.

Hearing Jiang Zhijie's words, Jiang Laoer scolded in a low voice, "What did I tell you before? He is your brother. Even if you are not good friends, you can't be enemies with him. Why don't you learn your lesson?"

"Alright, you and my mom have never treated him as a son, but you want me to treat him as my brother. What are you thinking? Besides, if I treat him as my brother, will he treat me as his younger brother?"

The two of them had never spoken a single word to each other since they were young, and he had been beaten up by Jiang Minglang more than once, so there was a reason why he was annoyed and disgusted with him.

Jiang Laoer frowned, "Your brother is a man of great achievements. As long as you sincerely treat him as your own brother, he won't treat you badly. I know him. He has always valued family affection since he was a child. If someone treats him well, he will return the favor. In the past, your mother and I treated him like that, but he never said anything and was very filial to us. It was just that we were a little confused about your grandmother's matter, which made him angry with us.

But after all, there is no big conflict between you and him. As long as you have a good time when you meet again in the future, your relationship can slowly recover.

Zhijie, you are right to listen to your father. Your mother and I are getting older and we can’t always be with you. The only one who can help and take care of you is your brother.”

"Tsk, Dad, you don't have a fever, do you? I'm going to rely on him to take care of me in the future?" Jiang Zhijie couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You are such a contradictory person. You obviously hate him, but you still want me to get in touch with him. If you really have this idea, we shouldn't have come here in the first place. We should have gone to Yunxi Village. If you can't ask Jiang Minglang for help, can't you ask Bai Xiangtian for help? After all, he is his relative. Considering that you are his son-in-law's father, there is no way you can turn us away, right?"

But I have to come here, work hard every day, and it's so tiring and annoying.

Before the end of the world, Jiang Zhijie was not interested in farming, so he went to the city to find an easy job as a security guard.

Now it's the end of the world, does he like farming?
how is this possible.

Jiang Laoer was choked by his youngest son's words and suddenly couldn't say anything.

He glared at him and once again involuntarily turned his gaze to the small figure behind Jiang Minglang.

How can I bring my child with me when I go out to fight zombies? What if something happens and I don’t have time to take care of Qiqi?
"Dad, even if you look at him again and see everything, that kid won't call you grandpa. He doesn't even know who you are, Jiang Lao Er. Why bother looking at him so hard? Is it fun?"

Jiang Lao Er said calmly, "Whether he recognizes me or not, I am his grandfather."

After a pause, he continued, "If you had the ability to give me a grandson earlier, I wouldn't be so curious about Qiqi."

Hearing what his father said, Jiang Zhijie's eyes flickered as he thought of something.

"Second uncle, second uncle."

At this time, a man squeezed in from outside the crowd. He excitedly grabbed Jiang Laoer's arm, pointed in the direction of Jiang Minglang and whispered, "Did you see it? That's Minglang, it's Minglang, him..."

"He is Tou Li's friend."

Jiang Zhijie interrupted his cousin Jiang Sicong lazily and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Seeing him so excited, what's the matter? Want to recognize your relatives? But does he want to recognize you?"

The last sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on Jiang Sicong's head, causing his excited and red face to freeze and he raised his hand to scratch his head awkwardly.

After a while, he whispered to Jiang Lao Er, "Second Uncle, I think that even if we had some conflicts with Ming Lang in the past, we are still a family after all. Moreover, it is the end of the world now, he can't hold on to the past and nitpick, right? Otherwise, you..."

"Stop, Jiang Sicong, if you want to go to Jiang Minglang, go by yourself, don't drag my dad along. He didn't go to Yunxi Village at first, and he won't go now, understand?"

Jiang Zhijie finished speaking and pulled Jiang Laoer out of the crowd and walked back, while he cursed in his heart: What a thing, when grandma passed away, it was Jiang Sicong who instigated his parents not to inform Jiang Minglang. And his sister Jiang Xinyi, she is not a good person either.

What the hell is he thinking of doing by trying to get to Jiang Minglang through them now?

　good night!
