Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 182 Processing, Entering Pingcheng
"Just eat your meal, why are you daydreaming?"

After finishing his patrol today, Bai Wei came back from Li Nan's place with a small pot of soybean oil and a bottle of vinegar. Seeing the two children happily eating the spicy and sour cabbage he had fried today, all his fatigue disappeared.

But in the blink of an eye, he saw his sister poking at the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, not picking up any vegetables, and keeping her head down without saying a word. He couldn't help but frown and wanted to scold her, but his wife kicked him under the table and glanced at the two children.

Bai Wei had no choice but to take a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and said slowly, "Bai Hua, if you have something on your mind, you can talk to me after dinner. But now, please respect the noodles in your bowl. Even though we don't have to worry about food and drink now, we have to eat less rice and noodles at home before the fields are restored to planting. Even if we resume planting, the crops we grow may not be the same as before."

Didn’t you see that he always eats until he is 60% to 70% full? The same goes for Wen Ting. Although there is quite a bit of food stored at home, the two children are at the growing age, so the couple plans to save more of this normal rice and flour for the children.

But Bai Hua didn't restrict her when she came back, letting her eat as much as she wanted. I thought she would cherish it, but unfortunately,
"Not to mention the people you saw on your way back from Kyoto, just look at the people crowding at the gate of Pengcheng every day. They are all as thin as refugees. They..."

"I can't eat so much. I'll give you half."

Bai Hua was impatient to listen to her brother's nagging. It was not like she didn't understand what was going on, but she was worried today and really couldn't eat.

He took out half of the noodles, ate the remaining half in a few bites, put down the bowl and left the kitchen.

"Dad, my aunt went to see my eldest aunt today."

Duoduo took her brother to the White Fruit Garden to see the lambs in the afternoon, and happened to see the two aunts standing on the training ground. She was two years older than Qiqi, and girls matured early, so when she saw her own troublesome aunt and the eldest aunt together, she instinctively looked at them a few more times.

When she saw green ivy growing out of her aunt's palm, her heart suddenly rose to her throat. She was not afraid, but excited. Was she excited that her aunt was finally going to beat her?

Ever since her aunt came back, the atmosphere at home has changed. She used to like her aunt very much, but now... Although she still likes her aunt now, she doesn't like the fact that her aunt always quarrels with her father. Her father is always mad at her, but he can't do anything about her.

She felt so suffocated and panicked when she saw it.

It would be great if my aunt could give her a good beating, just like she used to give my father.

such a pity.
Thinking that her aunt didn't take action in the end, Duoduo couldn't help but sigh with regret in her heart.

Bai Wei didn't take it too seriously, because ever since Bai Hua came back, she had been wanting to find Li Zhi. He didn't want her to know that Li Zhi had gone out, so he kept stopping her. Of course, the excuse for stopping her was not to tell Second Grandfather that Bai Xingye's family wanted to come back, for fear that he would be angry again.

Later, when Lizhi came back, he didn't meet her much, mainly because no one wanted to pay attention to her. This also explained why she didn't see anyone when she went there before.

Now, you're looking for it again?

So I was in such a low mood tonight. Was it because Lizhi scolded me or beat me?

"Did you see your aunt take action?"

"No~~"

"."

Why does my daughter sound so regretful?

The couple looked at each other and turned their heads to look over at the same time.

The little girl blinked her eyes, thinking that the two did not believe her, and quickly touched her brother with her arm, "Xixi also saw it, the aunt really did not beat her. But I think it would be better to beat the aunt. The aunt is willing to beat her, which means she wants to discipline her and does not want to give up on her. But not beating her."

Xixi, who had finally swallowed the noodles in her mouth, followed up with, "I didn't hit her, but my aunt was scared."

Didn't fight but still scared?

Bai Wei seemed to be thinking about something. After dinner, he and Wen Ting cleaned up the dishes and boiled some hot water for the children and himself to wash.

After finishing everything, he went to Bai Hua's room, pulled the chair next to her desk and sat down. Seeing that she ignored him and just sat there by the bed, he couldn't help but frown again.

"What's wrong with you? Don't tell me that you're still thinking about Bai Xingye's family. I tell you, Bai Hua, strictly speaking, their family owes our family two lives. You know how our great grandfather and great grandmother died, and they still owe us a life for saving you. Don't tell me that the grievances of the older generation have nothing to do with the younger generation, bullshit, without our great grandfather and great grandmother, would our family exist?

We are lucky enough not to settle accounts with them. You are just dreaming about returning to our ancestral home!"

Bai Hua looked up at his brother in a daze. When he talked about Bai Xingye's family, it was almost the same as what Lizhi had said in the afternoon. Although he didn't sound very hateful, he was filled with genuine annoyance.

Bai Wei looked at his sister, feeling very disappointed. "Our grandpa passed away so early. How do you think his body managed to survive?"

"That's not because he had to take care of his second grandfather since he was a child."

"If our great grandfather and great grandmother were alive, would it be our underage grandfather's turn to take care of our second grandfather? Without the protection of his parents, he would have to take care of his younger brother. Isn't that what he should do?"

Bai Hua was speechless.

In the past, they always used the kindness of grandpa raising second grandfather to ask him and uncle to take good care of their family. But strictly speaking, there is no need for them to talk about kindness with each other.

If we dig deeper, wasn't it Bai Xingye's great-grandfather who caused this fate of their family?
"So, the Shirahoshino family really owes our family two lives?"

"There are more than two," Bai Wei said coldly, "Many of the antiques they took away back then have appeared in foreign auctions. And before that, our great grandfather had clearly agreed with his brother that except for a few that he wanted to keep, all other antiques would be donated to preserve the Bai family.

In the end, the items were lost, and the Bai family naturally lost them. The most unfair thing for our grandfather was that he was labeled a traitor to the country because his brother secretly took the antiques out of the country.

So, Bai Hua, do you still think that the grudges of the older generation have nothing to do with us?"

In fact, their grandfather had told them these things when they were young. The purpose was to warn them that if another branch of the Bai family came back in a few years, they would be driven out and not allowed to enter the old house.

But Bai Hua obviously forgot this memory.

Besides her, her brother, Bai Li and Bai Yang all remembered it.

"Tell me, what did you do?"

As siblings who grew up together, Bai Wei knew that his sister's behavior was definitely not just a fear of lychees.

".Brother, tell me, if I didn't do what Lizhi said, would she really kill me?"

"You didn't do what she asked? What are you going to do?"

Bai Wei focused on this sentence. He stared at Bai Hua with his eyes. When she pursed her lips and did not answer, he suddenly raised his voice and asked sternly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Bai Hua was startled. She looked at her brother who was so angry that he wanted to beat her up. She moved her butt to the inside of the bed and said, "I, I didn't think about it." "Bai Hua, do you think your life is too comfortable now? Our family is pretty good too? So you won't feel at ease until you see the bodies of me, your sister-in-law, and Duoduo Xixi?"

Bai Hua's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, I didn't think so."

"If you don't think so, then what are you going to do? Bai Xingye asked about Minglang and Lizhi. Do you know what he wants to do? You know that without them, everyone in Yunxi Village might die. Do you know that?"

He almost shouted the last four words, and stood up and pointed out the window, saying to her word by word, "While you were staying safely in the village, did you know what Jiang Minglang and his brothers were doing? They were patrolling the area around Yunxi Village, within a radius of ten or twenty miles, and even in the urban area of Pengcheng, killing mutant animals that might get out of control. And south of Pingjiang Bridge, do you know what's there? I tell you, if it weren't for Lizhi, Minglang and his brothers, our village would have become a dead village long ago!"

Bai Hua was finally frightened by her brother and her face turned as pale as paper.

But Bai Wei didn't intend to let her go. He wanted to find out what she wanted to do. If she didn't tell him, Bai Wei closed his eyes and said, "If you still don't confess, I can only drive you out of Pengcheng and never come back."

He cannot afford the lives of an entire village.

More importantly, he didn't want her to harm Litchi and his second grandfather's family.

Bai Hua's tears streamed down her face. She reached out and opened the middle drawer of her desk. She took out a letter from the gap inside and handed it to her brother.

"After I reminded Xi Shuang, every time Bai Hua went out, she would put on her hat and follow her from a distance."

After dinner, Bai Yang sneaked into his sister's room and told his sister and brother-in-law Bai Hua, "Xi Shuang said that she didn't go out of Yunxi Village very often, but when she was wandering around the village, she always felt that she was observing the wall. She also went to the fields, and yesterday she squatted next to Leng Hanyu and Du Ge to watch them release the water. Her behavior seems normal, but Xi Shuang always feels that she is seriously understanding Yunxi Village."

After careful consideration, it seems that there is no problem, but I also feel that there is a problem.

However, when Xi Shuang started staring at Bai Hua, she had already got the letter, so they didn't know that a man had approached her.

It was not until Bai Wei came to Baiguoyuan late at night and handed them the letter he got from Bai Hua.

He looked ashamed and said, "Lizhi, I'm sorry."

"What does it have to do with you?" Bai Li interrupted him and sighed, "Even if she is your sister, you are not her. But I have to tell you in advance, if she really..."

"I'll take care of her!"

Bai Wei said without allowing any argument, "You also said that she is my sister. If she dares to betray Yunxi Village and us, I will deal with her personally."

Jiang Minglang glanced at him and had to say that he had to admire his brother-in-law in a new light since his personality change.

Hearing the time when Bai Hua received the letter and the clothes worn by the person who sent her the letter, it can be concluded that it was from Wei Lichuan.

During those days, a truck came from Kyoto to deliver supplies to them, with eleven people accompanying it.

So is this person his original subordinate, or one of these eleven people?
Unfortunately, the person disappeared before she could see his face clearly. She only noticed that he was less than 1.8 meters tall, thin, and had a flat head.

But this feature is too common in Wei Lichuan. Even Wei Lichuan himself is less than 1.8 meters tall, while he is 1.78 meters tall, has a flat head, and is thin.

The letter instructed her to write the reply and put it under a willow tree with a hemp rope tied to the trunk by the Pingjiang River on September 8th.

Hemp rope is inconspicuous, and most people won’t pay attention to it even if it is on a tree.

Therefore, in order to find the traitor, Bai Hua's cooperation is needed.

The next morning, when Wei Lichuan was patrolling at Pingjiang Bridge as usual, he met Jiang Minglang who was there to check.

The two men stood on the bridge, looking in the direction of Pingcheng, as if analyzing how dangerous Pingcheng was now after the temperature rose.

In fact, both of them were really analyzing.

Across the river, due to human factors, almost all the snow in Pengcheng has been cleared, and the remaining snow is only accumulated in the wasteland.

But Pingcheng, a city with no living people left, is completely different.

From a distance, it was still dazzlingly white. Apart from the snow, it seemed that everything else was buried underneath.

I have no idea whether there are any living things or what they are.

It seemed that since the day the snow stopped, the heavy snow in Pingcheng had been piling up there and had not melted at all.

In fact, it did melt, but the snow was too thick. It melted a little under the sun during the day, but turned into ice again at night when the temperature dropped below zero. The ice was getting thicker and harder to melt.

Looking at the frozen Pingcheng, it seemed to be a good sign, there was no danger. However, Jiang Minglang and Wei Lichuan were not optimistic.

"Pingcheng and the areas south of it are badly infected by the virus, and they haven't been cleaned up before. Once the virus is completely eliminated, we don't know what will come out."

After experiencing extreme heat and extreme cold, no matter whether it is zombies or mutated animals, anyone who can survive will not be a good person.

At this time, the two of them did not know that some survivors in Huacheng in the east and Songzhou in the west were organizing people to enter Pingcheng.

Everyone knows that this city has become a dead city. An unknown virus broke out in the city center. You didn’t even need to get close to it, just looking at it from a distance was scary.

But now there is a heavy snow, and they think that the virus must have been frozen to death.

There is no virus, the weather is still cold, and there are few mutated animals. So, can we go in and take out the things in Pingcheng that we didn't have time to take away?
Of course, no one thought about looking for food, and even if there was any, it would have been inedible long ago.

They just wanted to find some daily necessities, clothes, quilts, etc. Even if they didn't need them, they could take them to Pengcheng to exchange.

Damn, even though the door was closed and wouldn't open, they posted a notice on the door outside saying that it was okay to ask for food, you could just exchange it for something.

In order to survive, some people exchanged their cotton-padded clothes for steamed buns.

Some people can exchange pots and pans, toilet paper, glass bottles and even books. It doesn't matter what kind of book it is, as long as it is intact and readable.

Many of these things in Ancheng and Huacheng had been collected, so this group of people set their sights on Pingcheng.

Although it is mostly surrounded by Pingjiang, the ice hasn't melted yet. If you don't want to take a detour to the south, you can actually walk across the ice.

So without Jiang Minglang and Wei Lichuan knowing, two groups of people, from the east and west, quietly entered Pingcheng, where there was no one alive.
good night!
