Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 148 Defection
Fortunately, the black python hid. If it hadn't.
Even if it only eats mad animals that fall into the water, not to mention the uncertainty and pressure it brings to everyone, the key point is that it is a hindrance.

Because there were many people who used guns on Wei Lichuan's side, the black python's head poked out from the river, and its body stood up straight and long. If you didn't look at the two green eyes on the snake's head, you would think it was a black pillar standing up in the river if you looked from a distance.

Of course this is not the point. The point is that without Captain Jiang's marksmanship, no one can guarantee that he would not hit the "black pillar", after all, it is too close to the bridge.

If you get hit, it's hard not to go crazy.

That would be adding insult to injury for them.

Today's thunder and heavy rain came suddenly, and the animals went crazy again. Not only were the animals in Pingcheng opposite rushing towards the bridge, but also on the Pengcheng side, there were groups of animals rushing in from the north and east and west sides from time to time. It was like being attacked from both front and back.

So after the rain stopped and the battle was over, Wei Lichuan had suffered 42 casualties.

Li Nan's side suffered 68 casualties. After the rain stopped, the mad animals retreated, but the zombies did not leave. They were still surrounding the yard where they lived, roaring and sneering.

But they were all tired and no longer had the strength to fight on.

A total of 26 villagers in Yunxi Village, including Bai Xiangyuan and his wife, were attacked by their own cats and dogs and all died on the spot.

The neighboring Mudan Village suffered the least casualties, only three people, because they were all their own people with combat capabilities, and there were no ordinary farmers.

In addition, there were a few survivors who lived alone, such as the three families of Qiao Fei's neighbors, who were attacked to the point where no one survived. Only a handful of people survived by chance.

It can be said that this thunder and lightning and heavy rain caused the survivors of Pengcheng to move towards two places: Li Nan’s greenhouse area, and Jiang Minglang and Bai Li’s ginkgo orchard and greenhouse area.

After this strange incident, the temperature dropped directly to twelve degrees.

Fortunately, most families had winter clothes, so they just had to dig them out and put them on. For the few who didn't have them, like Lao Sheng and Ren Bin, Jiang Minglang and Bai Li had moved so many clothing stores before, and clothes for all four seasons filled up the entire room, so it wasn't too difficult to find a couple of sets.

This is the field today.
Because it was completely dark after the rain stopped, Xue Deng still gathered people to clean up the mess from house to house and road to road, trying not to expose any animals or corpses. Any remaining bloodstains that were not washed away by the rain also had to be cleaned up thoroughly.

Otherwise, when everyone falls asleep at night, who knows if it will attract something.

When they cleaned up the Bai family's old house, Bai Wei walked out of the yard.

He was seriously injured. Even though he had been bandaged for several hours, his face was still pale and bloodless.

Of course it's not all because of injuries.

"Why did you come out? Go back to your room and rest. I'll clean your yard again for you."

When counting the casualties, Xue Deng learned that Bai Xiangyuan and his wife were gone. When he first heard the news, it felt a little unreal.

Before the end of the world, Bai Xiangyuan had been the village party secretary for nearly 10 to 20 years. Although he looked a little arrogant, he was always willing to help anyone who had problems. Another thing was that he was not greedy. Compared with the village party secretaries in other surrounding villages, he was pretty good.

Of course, the main reason is that he is a member of the Bai family.

Xue Deng was not familiar with him before, but after the apocalypse, he often heard Bai Xiangyuan scold Bai Wei, "Look at Xue Deng, he is two years younger than you, can't you learn from him?"

"From now on, you just follow Xue Deng and do whatever he does."

"Xue Deng, if you have anything to do, tell Bai Wei to do it. Don't be polite."

To be honest, he felt very happy when he heard Secretary Bai scolding his son like that, regardless of whether what he said was true or false.

In his 33 years of life, this was the first time that his elders had singled him out as an example to scold his peers. In the past, his parents always despised him for being incompetent and a loser. Just because he didn't listen to his parents and went to the city to work, but chose to rent a piece of land in the countryside to grow vegetables, they thought he had no future.

He also didn't understand. Growing and selling vegetables was just a matter of earning more or less in a year. He would not lose money anyway, and in the long run he would earn much more than working outside.

What's more, the couple are right next to their parents and can take care of them in time if anything happens. Why in their eyes are they not as good as their elder brother who works hard to make money in the big city but still has to pay off the mortgage?

Now that the end of the world has come, their house in the city has been destroyed, and they hurried back to the countryside, living in their parents' house but still complaining that it is old.

Is the house old?
Then don't live here.
Feeling saddened by the sudden departure of Party Secretary Bai, Xue Deng’s thoughts were a little distracted for a moment.

He stepped forward and said to Bai Wei sincerely, "If you have any problems in the future, come to me. You know, I never say polite words."

Bai Wei pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty but couldn't even smile. He just whispered his thanks in a hoarse voice.

"Then you go back to the house and rest. I'll clean the yard."

"I'll trouble you with the yard, but I have to go out now. My second grandfather and uncle don't know yet."

I heard that Bai Li was still sleeping in Lao Sheng’s building because his supernatural powers were exhausted, and Qiqi was also guarding there, so Mr. Bai and the brother Bai Xiangtian didn’t know that his parents were gone.

We can’t hold a funeral, but we still have to notify them.

He found a suitable porcelain jar at home and put his parents' ashes in it. Then he would discuss with his second grandfather and uncle to see whether his parents' ashes should be buried in the Bai family's ancestral tomb.

Bai Wei found Bai Xiangtian in the potato field of Baiguoyuan. He was digging potatoes with Bai Xiangqian. As one of the drought-resistant crops, this was the species with the highest survival rate besides beans in the past twenty days of high temperature.

The temperature is dropping now, and Bai Xiangtian is thinking that no matter whether all the potatoes are ripe or not, he has to dig up all the potatoes in this acre.

Even though it is dark now, we have to dig by the light of a lamp. After all, who can predict the weather? After a night, the temperature may even drop below zero tomorrow.

"Uncle, Second Uncle"

When Bai Wei saw his two uncles, he couldn't help but choke up when he called out. At the same time, his eyes turned red and a tear fell uncontrollably.

Bai Xiangtian turned his head and was surprised to see Bai Wei's expression. Before he could ask any questions, Bai Wei said, "Uncle, my parents are gone!"

"what?"

Bai Xiangqian also straightened up at this time, looked at his elder brother, and asked uncertainly, "What did you just say?"

Bai Wei repeated it again, and the two brothers were stunned.

It's not their fault that they are like this. Bai Xiangyuan is just too careful about his life. When the end of the world came, he was the first one to go home with his wife and children, close the door tightly, and hide in a dark room for three days.

And every time there was a crisis in Yunxi Village, he hid well.

Plus there was a dark room in the Bai family's old house. To be honest, they never thought that he would have an accident.

"Xiao Wei, don't tell your second grandfather about this for now. He is old and can't stand the stimulation. Wait until tomorrow, or in a couple of days, I will find a chance to tell him slowly."

Bai Wei naturally had no objection. In fact, he had considered this point when he came to find Bai Xiangtian first.

He didn't feel it before, but now that his father is gone, he truly feels that his second grandfather's true love for them is probably retribution. The feelings that he once didn't take seriously and treated like a worn-out shoe, now that he really wants them, are gone.

After Bai Wei left, the two brothers squatted on the ground and looked at each other for a long time.

It was not until Jiang Minglang came back with the sleeping Bai Li in his arms that they got up, put the potatoes they had dug into the basket, and continued digging. The dead are dead, but the living have to keep going.

In any case, it’s best to pick all the vegetables you can tonight while it’s not too cold.

On the night when the heavy rain just stopped, the lights in Baiguoyuan and Yunxi Village were on all night. Everyone put potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. into the cellar, and diligently tidied the fields again, waiting for tomorrow to clear up and decide whether to continue planting or what to plant based on the weather and temperature.

Natural disasters are difficult to prevent, but even if you have to find space to plant crops, you cannot give up as long as you can harvest.

After all, they are people who have survived zombies and mad animals. Why should they be afraid of a mere natural disaster?
After several rounds of cleansing, everyone who survived has a strong desire to survive, talks less and works more. This is now the norm in Yunxi Village.

Because many people are busy all night, there is no need to arrange patrols.

When the sky was just getting light, people who were tired after a night of work looked up at the increasingly cold sky and went home shivering.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the gate of Yunxi Village.

Sleeping for several days after exhausting her supernatural powers has become a normal thing for Bai Li. From the time Jiang Minglang brought her back home last night until this morning, she showed no signs of waking up.

When Jiang Minglang sat up from the bed, he turned his head and pinched his wife's nose. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Counting it up, this is the third time she has fallen asleep since she had superpowers.

He was not by her side during her first deep sleep, and it is said that telekinesis and fighting occurred at that time.

After her second sleep, she didn’t have much combat experience, but the fruits she produced became more delicious, and she could produce five fruits at a time, like an apple tree.

This third time, when she wakes up, I wonder what surprise she will bring them.

Come to think of it, it seems that only his wife's supernatural power was advanced in this way, she advanced after a good sleep.

He himself has not yet reached his limit and currently does not know how to advance.

But Zhang Shaoda had been exploited by him twice, but he rested normally afterwards. Afterwards, both the earth wall and the earth blocks were stronger than before.

But it's just a little stronger, and the difference is noticeable, but not too big.

This is of course not too big compared to Bai Li's each advancement.

Jiang Minglang guessed that maybe, everyone’s abilities were different, and the paths and states of advancement were also different.

After receiving the notification from Lao Sheng, Jiang Minglang met Qiao Fei at the gate of Yunxi Village.

There was still a faint smell of blood on his body, and he was leaning against the front of the car with a tired look on his face. Behind his car, there was a van parked, and the driver inside was looking at him nervously.

"Captain Jiang, we are at our wits' end."

After a brief inquiry, Jiang Minglang let the two cars into Yunxi Village.

Upon hearing that Qiao Fei was coming, Du Qiuyan hurried to the village entrance with Ji Ji.

"Uncle Qiao," Ji Ji ran over and looked at Qiao Fei with bright eyes, and asked, "Are you going to live here in the future?"

"Yes, so does Gigi welcome me?"

Qiao Fei smiled and touched Jiji's little head. After three months in Yunxi Village, the child had not only grown taller but also fatter. He even vaguely looked like he did when they first received him.

Here, we have no worries about food and clothing and live a happy life.

"Of course you're welcome. Where are you going to stay, Uncle Joe? I can help you clean up."

Gigi glanced at the An family in the car but didn't go up to say hello.

He actually wanted to take Uncle Qiao to their house for breakfast because he could see that he was tired and hungry, but the An family was there too and he didn't want to take them home.

He helped Grandpa Dong make breakfast, which included sour bean buns and sweet potato porridge.

When he and Uncle Du came out, Grandpa Dong was frying shredded potatoes.

"That one, your uncle Jiang said I can live with your uncles Sheng and Ren."

In fact, Qiao Fei was going to live next to Lao Sheng and Ren Bin. It was also a nice two-story building. The owner and his family died in the first wave of zombie outbreak.

The reason I say this is to avoid explanation and trouble.

"Xiao Fei."

Without waiting for Ji Ji to say anything, Qiao Fei's sister Qiao Wei opened the car door and got out, looking puzzled, "You don't live with us?"

"This building is close to the main gate. I will be on guard and patrolling at night like them. Living together will affect your rest. And it's not suitable for you to stay outside. It's better to go inside, it will be safer."

Even so, the An family, who were used to relying on Qiao Fei, still did not feel much security.

However, when they entered the village, they saw that there were walls inside the four walls surrounding the village. This meant that there were two layers of walls protecting them when they lived in the village. Just by looking at it, they felt that the safety factor had increased dramatically.

Oh, it’s better to live here.

The An family was delighted at once.

Qiao Fei glanced at them, and after they settled down in the house in the middle of the village, he said to his sister and brother-in-law, "As you can see, the environment here is much better than ours before. But there is one thing you have to remember, we are here to seek refuge with others, so all the rules must be followed according to the rules of their village. If you violate them or are disobedient, and if they want to drive you away, I will definitely not stop them."

His brother-in-law immediately said, "That's for sure, Xiaofei, don't worry, we won't cause any trouble and embarrass you. But, wasn't that man just now your comrade-in-arms?"

In other words, since we are comrades-in-arms, it should be okay to give us some special treatment in the future.

Qiao Fei's face darkened. "We are just acquaintances. We are not in the same team, so there is no comradeship."

"But Xiao Du is not."

"Du Qiyan got some help from Jiji. Jiji is friends with Captain Jiang's son. Do you understand?"

what?
Is it because of Gigi that Xiao Du was able to move in?

The child who became an orphan and no one wants him?
The An family looked at each other in confusion and fell into awkward silence.

After giving the instructions, Qiao Fei took his simple luggage and went to the building in the front row.

"Uncle Qiao, don't be in a hurry, just follow me."

　good night!
