432. Life is compelled

The old man looked at the sharp knife and them from the side, not knowing how to react, but the little girl actually laughed when she saw Zhang Xiaoman and Jiao Xiaochen arguing.

The world of children is simple, and they do not yet understand how terrible the world is.

Ren Xiaosu asked the old man, "Which is the closest barrier here?"

"Barrier No. 144," the old man replied truthfully, "it is about sixty kilometers to the west." ”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhang Xiaoman: "Can you determine our location?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaoman nodded: "Barrier 144 is the granary of the Zong clan, because 70% of the fertile land is near the 144 barrier, it can be said that this is a barrier specially built for food resources, just like the 114 barrier of the Qing clan." ”

"I see," Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, "Then let's start near the 144 barrier." ”

Jiao Xiaochen suddenly asked, "What about this old man and the little girl?"

The old man suddenly became anxious: "Sir, don't worry, we will never report to the Zong clan, you are from the 178 fortress, to be honest, we ordinary people hope you can come." ”

The Zong clan treated the displaced people so harshly that they had lost the hearts of the people among the displaced people.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly said: "If it weren't for the fact that the Zong clan had already recruited all the light and strong, maybe we could still organize the displaced people and form an armed force behind the enemy to surround the barriers......

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned when they heard this, but now they don't have this condition.

Someone next to him asked, "Old man, do you still have any food here?"

I asked this because of their shortage of dry food, although there was food brought by Ren Xiaosu, but at that time, Sister Xiaoyu prepared it for Ren Xiaosu alone.

According to Sister Xiaoyu's idea, these things are enough for Ren Xiaosu to stay in the wilderness for three months without bothering to find something to eat.

There are a lot of things, but you can't stand up to the sharp knife and even more people, one person eats something for three months, and 184 people eat it for two days.

So their immediate task is to find food.

Ren Xiaosu can grow potato shooters, but this method of consuming thank you coins must be used as a last resort.

But I heard the old man say: "How can we still have food here, all of them have been confiscated by the Zong family, and they have secretly hidden some before, and they have also turned it out." ”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at the basket that the old man was carrying, it was full of some wild vegetables, it seemed that he took the little girl out just now, just digging wild vegetables, the old man didn't lie.

"Then what should we do?" Jiao Xiaochen asked.

Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go to the factory, there are so many workers in the factory, can there be no food?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately marched westward, looking for military uniforms and food, and these two things were solved at the same time.

Things went more smoothly than expected, because they didn't go far before they saw a factory with white smoke still billowing from the chimney.

The Sharp Knife Company carefully planned to raid in from two directions, but as a result, they didn't even see a decent garrison, only two people from the private army were there, and when these two people saw Ren Xiaosu and them, they directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and they didn't have any spirit of resistance at all......

There are also homeless people in the factory, who all honestly come out and stand in line.

Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled: "Two people are watching a factory?"

The soldier of the private army knelt down and replied, "They have all been drawn into the Zong army......

"Okay," Zhang Xiaoman said, collecting their guns, "Take out some of your food here, and we'll take it away." ”

Two soldiers from the private unit stopped talking, but they complied.

But Zhang Xiaoman and the others were stunned when they saw each other's grain, and they saw the moldy nests in front of them, and he was surprised: "This is the only thing in this factory? ”

One of the homeless people said, "Sir, this is what we usually eat. ”

Zhang Xiaoman's face suddenly darkened, no wonder the Zong clan was unpopular, no wonder the old man said that he was looking forward to the 178 fortress coming, it turned out that the homeless people lived this kind of life.

Ren Xiaosu sighed, although the Qing family is also a consortium and also oppresses the homeless, but at least the homeless can eat enough in the factory.

It's not that Qing's is good, it's mainly up to his peers......

Jiao Xiaochen broke open a nest, but saw that the moldy nest was actually mixed with wheat husk: "Can this thing really be eaten?

"Sir, it's good to be alive," replied the outcast.

This factory is copper smelting, so the sharp knife company did not find clothes, nor did he find the Zong family's military uniform, which made Zhang Xiaoman a little uncomfortable, he looked at Ren Xiaosu: "We can't eat this, it's okay if it's unpalatable, we have also eaten unpalatable things, but moldy things really can't be eaten, and it will affect combat effectiveness." ”

"I guess this is the case in the nearby factories," Ren Xiaosu said with emotion: "So if you want to find food, you have to go to the Zong clan to find it." ”

"The 144 barrier is known as the granary of the Zong clan, we will definitely find food there, and the destruction of this so-called granary will definitely give the Zong clan a headache, and the army will not be able to eat in the war, and the troops will mutinied. ”

"What about dreaming," Zhang Xiaoman scolded with a smile: "There is also a regiment of defenders in the 144 barrier, how can we fight?"

Ren Xiaosu suddenly said: "Let's beat their convoy!"

Originally, the Sharp Knife Company didn't want to come into contact with the regular army of the Zong clan here, after all, this was the rear of the family.

But now I can't fight it, if I don't fight, I'll starve to death, and life is compelling......

No one could have imagined that a bloody storm in the realm of the Zong clan was caused by looking for food.

Two days later, Zong's headquarters suddenly received a report that a grain transport team outside the 144 fortress had been defeated by a small group of enemy troops, and the other party was a company of the 178 fortress, and it was not able to completely annihilate the transport team.

Now the defenders of the infantry regiment of the 144th Barrier are pursuing this company with all their might.

The front-line generals of the headquarters frowned when they received the news, the 144 fortress has a special geographical location, and the 178 fortress has to cross the river if it wants to fight here, but the 178 fortress itself has no boats, so he didn't worry much about the strategic deployment here before.

Unexpectedly, there was still a problem with the 144 barrier.

The command sent a document to the 144 barrier, instructing the commander of the infantry regiment to clear this company and ensure the safety of the rear supply line!

However, just a few hours after the document was sent, news came back from the 144 barrier, saying that it had been lost......

The general in charge of logistics at the headquarters was furious, and he could still chase down the enemy on his own territory!?

You must find this company, or you will stop as a regiment commander!
