Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 144 Is She Bai Li?

On the road where the electric tricycles were originally parked, an off-road vehicle and two pickup trucks were blocking the middle of the road.

There was a pile of supplies at the end of the pickup truck's rear compartment, and next to these supplies stood a short-haired woman in black clothes.

It was already four o'clock in the morning, and the sky, which was originally as dark as ink, had already begun to show a little light. This allowed Liu Xu and others to vaguely see the outline of the woman's face when she turned her head to look at them, even without the help of the car lights.

It’s Baili!
Liu Xu, who was turning his head to talk to his sister in the back seat, shook uncontrollably.

Batong stepped on the brakes in time and looked at a big black dog as big as a tiger walking out from behind the woman with full vigilance.

"Eight, eight barrels, take a detour!"

Liu Xu didn't look at the big black dog. His eyes were all on Bai Li. He didn't know her before, but now he knows her. However, his face hurts when he sees her.

Although I don't want to admit it, the fear deep in my heart cannot be ignored.

Especially when he saw Bai Li squinting her eyes trying to see him clearly.

"elder brother?"

Liu Ying didn't understand what was going on. Since she had encountered this situation, wouldn't it be a loss if she didn't snatch back some supplies?
She didn't respond, "Why do we have to take a detour? There are so many of us, and the other side is just a woman."

Just a woman?

"Keep your voice down!" Liu Xu lowered his voice and scolded his sister, "You know who she is? That's why you say that?"

"Who cares who she is, we..."

Liu Ying didn't finish her sentence as if she remembered something, and suddenly her eyes widened as she asked, "She is Bai Li?"

"Yes, she is Bai Li. You want to steal something, right? Okay, go ahead and steal it. It happens that both of you are wood-type, and your abilities are similar. Let's see if she will let you steal it. Go ahead, I, your brother, am waiting for your good news here."

At this moment, Liu Xu suddenly lost the desire to turn around and run, and actually had some expectations for what he had just said. He wanted his sister to get out of the car, let her face Bai Li, and then... be beaten up by her!
They are twins, why is he the only one getting beaten?
Men and women are equal. As an elder sister, Bai Li cannot favor one over the other.

Although she didn't want to be their sister and they hadn't thought of recognizing her, since they had met, why not just beat up both of them?
He looked at Liu Ying and urged, "Hurry up, what are you hesitating for? It will be dawn if you wait any longer."

Batong didn't understand their relationship with Bai Li, so he couldn't help but ask, "Let Sister Ying go alone? But..."

"Shut up, it's none of your business."

Liu Xu interrupted Ba Tong and urged Liu Ying again, "Are you going or not? If not, let's go. But let me tell you, so far, she is the only one with the same ability as yours, don't you want to, um, learn from each other?"

Discuss?

Liu Ying looked at Bai Li standing outside, then looked at her brother, and always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said.

Even if you want her to compete with Bai Li, you don't have to be so expectant, right?

Should he look in the mirror and see his face?
The corners of his mouth are so upturned that they seem like oil bottles are about to be hung.

Liu Ying no longer had the intention to get off the car to grab supplies, and said, "No need, we are in a hurry, if we don't want to grab anything, just leave quickly. Ba Tong, make the car behind back up."

Upon hearing this, Ba Tong quickly reached his hand out of the window and made a gesture.

The car at the back immediately turned around and headed for a small road nearby. The three cars in front followed closely behind. Soon, the four black cars gradually disappeared from Bai Li's sight.

She hugged her shoulders, narrowed her dark eyes, and sneered.

You little bastard, you're pretty self-aware.

She actually didn't have any extra thoughts about Liu Xu and Liu Ying. If she had to say one, it was just annoyance!

They had to appear in front of her for no reason, and in that way. She could treat them as strangers and let them be. But after all, they were connected by blood, and even if she didn't want to, she couldn't treat them with a normal heart.

It would be best to avoid meeting and conflict in this way.

As the sky gradually brightened, two pickup trucks loaded with supplies rumbled back to Yunxi Village.

"Also, the people there were chased away by our people. The captain said that everything that can be removed should be removed. You guys move quickly, I have to go back and continue pulling."

"What's there?"

"That thing is much older. Let me tell you, although Huacheng may not look very big, it is more lively than our Pengcheng."

When the sun rose again, the scorching and familiar heat wave hit, and the two groups of people from Yunxi Village and Mudan Village finally went back to their homes sweating profusely, and all picked up basins of cold water to pour on themselves.

After a quick shower, everyone, without any sign of fatigue from a busy night, had breakfast and began to share their food.

Jiang Minglang and Bai Li did not keep any supplies this time and distributed all the supplies they obtained.

"What happened last night? Why did you come back so late with the two children?"

With Jiang Minglang around, Bai Li was not worried about her son and Gigi being in danger. She just thought that they had encountered something unusual and it would take time to resolve.

Later, Xu Bo was called away by Li Nan's men. When she heard that there were zombies attacking, she became a little curious.

The main reason is that zombies haven't appeared in Pengcheng for a long time, and it has been peaceful for such a long time. If it weren't for some mutant animals running to Pingjiang from time to time to drink water from the opposite side of Pingjiang, they would have thought that the end of the world was about to pass, and society might soon return to its previous state.

"Someone in Jin County deliberately led the zombies to Pengcheng. Da Zi, Xu Bo, Li Nan and I went there and caught them red-handed."

At this point, Jiang Minglang sighed, "Li Nan wanted to develop the greenhouse area into an agricultural base, and he did it in a very good way. When certain forces saw this, they were inevitably jealous. So they brought in zombies from Jingzhou, west of Jin County, hoping to occupy the greenhouse area without any effort."

It has been more than half a year since the end of the world. Unlike the confusion and bewilderment at the beginning, the situation in various places has basically become clear now. If there are any uncertain factors, it is the unknown weather and the unknown whether the animals in Pengcheng will mutate.

"and after?"

"Li Nan hated them so much that he killed them all. Then he blocked the road from Jin County to Pengcheng."

"There are fields all between Jin County and Pengcheng, what's the point of just blocking the road?"

"Well, it's just psychological comfort."

"Why did you go to the west of the city? Could it be that those two cars came from Li Nan's side?"

"That's not the case. It's from the northern highway exit."

Jiang Minglang briefly recounted the story of meeting Qiao Fei and how Ji Ji and Qi Qi rescued people. As the couple had not slept all night, their voices became lower as they spoke. Finally, the room was silent, with only the sound of even and shallow breathing.

"Brother Kun, the guy who came to our place to rob things before said he wanted to join us with people and supplies." Kunzi was tired after a night of sleep and was woken up by his younger brother after just two hours of sleep.

He was about to get angry, but after hearing what his younger brother said, he went out to meet Liu Xu, Liu Ying and their other siblings. He had a feeling that this matter was a bit fucked up.

Even though he had robbed their things and hurt their people, and finally caught up with them and got a piece of rare canvas, the two sides were still mortal enemies. How could he still come to seek refuge with them?

Could it be
Kunzi looked at the group of people opposite with complicated eyes, thinking that if they really wanted to take the back door, they should go to Yunxi Village. Why would they come to their side when they have nothing better to do?

In the end, he did not take the initiative to drive the person away. Instead, he ran to Li Nan's room, woke him up and recounted what had happened.

Li Nan had two dark circles under his eyes and scratched his head in annoyance.

Damn it, he just discovered last night a group of people with the surname Jiang who are suspected to be related to Jiang Minglang, but it can be seen that their relationship was very bad before. He hasn't had time to investigate yet, and now another group of people related to his sister-in-law has come, and it seems that they are half-brothers, and their relationship is even worse.

What does that mean? All the family members who have a bad relationship with that couple are pushed to his side?

Who do you think he is?
What's wrong with being easy to bully?

"Brother Nan, why don't you just chase them away? I don't think Sister Bai even recognizes them."

Don't take in people who may cause trouble.

Like the woman who stopped Captain Jiang last night, Kunzi already knew that her name was Jiang Xinyi, from Fengqiao Village, Pengcheng. It was said that she was the daughter of Captain Jiang's uncle, and therefore his cousin.

But judging from Captain Jiang’s attitude towards Jiang Xinyi last night, he was even worse than a stranger.

There were other members of the Jiang family who came with Jiang Xinyi at that time, but Captain Jiang just stood there last night, and only Jiang Xinyi came forward to talk to him, while none of the others showed up.

What does this mean?
Li Nan and Kunzi got a headache when they thought of the possible reasons.

This is not the end of the world, so it would be quick to investigate a person's background and origins.

They need people, and if they can contribute and are not slacking off for a few days, they will be kept. Who else would consider so many things?
What's more, he doesn't have the energy to think about it. This is not the defense team that Kunzi is training.

Oh, by the way, the guy named Jiang Zhijie seemed to have signed up to join the guard team at first, but was not selected, so he had to follow his father to work in the fields.

After the Jiang family passed the assessment, they were allocated three acres of land. So far, they have been working diligently. Of course, not everyone is diligent, but they can take good care of the land they were allocated. They don't care if some individuals are cheating or slacking off.

Of course, this was the previous situation. Now Kunzi wants to reorganize the Jiang family and make sure that everyone can work diligently and wholeheartedly. If there is anyone who is lazy, he will be deducted points if it is a light punishment, and kicked out if it is a heavy punishment.

This was an idea that Kunzi had just come up with. He hadn’t told Li Nan about it yet, let alone put it into practice.

But what I didn’t expect was that before I could deal with the Jiang family, another group of Liu family members came.

What the hell is this!

"Call Liu Xu to the reception room."

Li Nan rubbed his aching head, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Let me hear what he has to say."

He was a little curious. Why did Liu Xu think he would take him in?

Also, judging from his wealth and actions at the time, this kid must have a complicated background, so what happened to him that led him to come and seek refuge with him?
Five minutes later, the two sat face to face in a room specially cleared out by Li Nan.

"Tell me why you did this."

Li Nan first stared at Liu Xu's slightly swollen face for a long time as if examining him, and then got straight to the point.

At the same time, he couldn't help wondering: Could it be that this kid was beaten up by his family and ran away from home, so he came here to seek refuge?

However, you shouldn't hit people in the face, so why did this parent hit them in the face?
But then I thought of his weird mother, uh... it seemed like she was my sister-in-law's biological mother. I felt that that woman was really capable of doing such a thing as slapping someone in the face.

Compared to yesterday, Liu Xu's face was less swollen and no longer painful, so he didn't think that his face alone could make the other person think so much.

Considering that this person will be his boss in the future, Liu Xu spoke very politely, "Brother Nan, right? Let me formally introduce myself first. My name is Liu Xu, and I don't have any special abilities, but before the apocalypse I was fond of fighting. After the apocalypse, my overall physical fitness has improved a lot, especially my speed, which is not inferior to that of ordinary speed psychics. We have fought each other before, and I think Brother Nan should still remember him. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting."

Seeing Li Nan's sneer, Liu Xu changed the subject awkwardly, "My sister Liu Ying and I are twins. She is a wood element, and Brother Nan has also seen this."

"Yeah, not bad, I'm very impressed, it's the same ability as our sister Bai Li's."

When Li Nan mentioned Bai Li as "sister" and even used the word "we", Liu Xu's smile froze for a moment. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he said, "She doesn't look older than you, how can you call her sister?"

Li Nan was stunned, then looked at him as if he was an idiot and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Liu Xu:.
He really wanted to say what he didn't want to say, but the words just came to this point.

Liu Xu coughed lightly and explained awkwardly, "I don't mean anything else, it's just..."

"You just want to tell me that Bai Li is your sister, right?"

Liu Xu's eyes widened in surprise, "You know?"

After asking, he remembered something and asked again in surprise, "That time in Baiyun Town, you already knew it when you heard that woman say it, right? So Bai Li..."

He really wanted to ask, isn’t Bai Li the daughter of Bai Xiangtian from Baiguoyuan?
It is true that he has some powerful wood-related abilities, but they shouldn't be known to everyone, right?
Is she so famous?
What he didn't know was that in Li Nan's team, only Li Nan and Kunzi knew that Jiang Minglang's wife was Bai Li, but no one else knew.

After all, Bai Li is very low-key, rarely goes out, and rarely takes action.

"Don't be so arrogant. You were the one who called Bai Li's name? Don't tell me you want me to let you stay for Bai Li's sake. If that's the reason, then I can tell you clearly that it's impossible!"

It’s not enough to have a member of the Jiang family. Is he crazy enough to take in his sister-in-law’s half-sibling?

If there is no practical benefit, don't even think about it.

Of course, even if there are practical benefits, it won’t work if they are not in place.

"No, I didn't think of asking you to look up to anyone. I just think that your business will grow bigger and bigger, but you don't have many people to use. Although my brothers and sisters and our people know nothing about farming, they are still capable of doing the usual protection and defense work. Otherwise, Brother Nan, would you consider it?"

You know what, Li Nan was actually a little moved.

Liu Xu looked to be in his twenties, but his fighting power was not inferior to his. And there was also his sister and the short earth element guy. Not to mention the rest of the others, the three of them alone could fight against his group of people.

What’s more, he had just resolved a dispute and was well aware of his lack of manpower.

If Liu Xu could really be used by him.
　good night!
