Chapter 188: Raiding (3)
85_85483The sun has quietly climbed to the horizon, and the working survivors can clearly feel the gradually rising temperature around them.
The harvest went very smoothly, and the women had the experience of harvesting rice and wheat in the field all year round, so it was easy for them to do this kind of work, and Rao was holding a piece of polished iron, which could not affect their progress in the slightest.
As for the women in the two wings, at the beginning of the action, Tang Xiaoquan took into account that they might encounter unexpected situations at any time, so for the sake of safety, almost all the sickles were assigned to them, which made the harvesting speed in these two positions particularly amazing.
Often in the middle of the handful has just been harvested, and they have already done 3, 4 or even more on both sides.
Wang Qiang stood in place with dull eyes, and nearly half an hour of standing almost wore out his patience.
You must know that in order to ensure the foolproof operation, they are assigned only one task, and that is to guard.
So at first, Wang Qiang was secretly happy that he didn't have to participate in the work, but as time went on, he realized that he was wrong.
Why? It's simple, three words: boring!
Everywhere his eyes looked, what Wang Qiang could see was that it was still rice except rice, and there was nothing else at all.
And standing for a long time not only made his hands and feet numb and sore, but more importantly, his eyes that had been staring at him for a long time began to inevitably feel uncomfortable.
Wang Qiang's abnormality also happened to other people, Tang Xiaoquan tried his best to open his eyes wide, he kept reminding himself to be vigilant, but for some reason, no matter how strong he was to fight his spirit, he still couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Zhao Yunhai even felt that his upper and lower eyelids were like a husband and wife who had been separated for many years, and they were trying their best to get close to each other, intending to "live together" forever.
The changes in the brothers, Hu Xiaodong completely saw in his eyes, he could understand their appearance at the moment, because Rao was such a patient archer like him, and he was also "tossed" by this boring guard work to the point of physical and mental exhaustion.
Raising his hand to look at the time on his wrist, the hour and minute hands are staggered on the large round waterproof dial.
Hu Xiaodong recognized it slightly, and then muttered to himself: It's already 8:20!
This time was exactly one hour after the beginning of the operation, and according to Wei Yang's instructions before leaving, Hu Xiaodong realized that it was time to stop everyone from taking a break from hydration.
Thinking of this, he straightened his back, and after taking a deep breath, he exhaled and said, "Let's all stop, come and drink some water, and rest!" ”
The voice fell, and the survivors of the field came to the car in the usual order of the group.
Hu Xiaodong set out to carry the pre-prepared clear water to the ground, to be honest, don't look at the clear water in front of him is only such a small bucket, but for the current survivors, these things are tantamount to the storage of "rare treasures".
The women licked their lips anxiously, and it was obvious that their mouths were quite dry.
But in view of the limited amount of water sources, Hu Xiaodong still had to emphasize in advance: "Half a bowl per person, please consciously abide by it!" ”
There are 4 bowls in total, and everyone scoops them in turn according to the order of the group.
Almost everyone drank extra carefully, and Tang Xiaoquan finally realized the meaning of the phrase "the preciousness of water" for the first time.
The clear water entered the throat, like a pool of cold spring water spreading from the body, which made Tang Xiaoquan feel a refreshing breath when he ascended.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly about his bad habits of using water in the past.
Maybe without the end of the world, I'm afraid I won't understand what a concept of water shortage is in this life!
"MD, this guard's job is too boring, looking around, there is not even a thing that can move, you say that this zombie is all dry, so let's have one or two for my brother to play!" complained for no reason, and as soon as Wang Qiang said this, he was immediately despised by the women around him.
"Humph! If you really feel that there is nothing to do, you can go back to the village to collect supplies, there are a lot of zombies there, and I believe that going there will definitely meet your needs. Tang Xiaoquan, who came back to his senses, unceremoniously teased his brother in person, although he also knew that the latter's words were just a joke and not intentional.
But it's also a joke, isn't it, you must know that most of the zombies here are mutated from local villagers, and these mutated beasts are most likely the relatives, friends, and even children of these women in front of them!
And you don't shy away from saying "you want to play with zombies" in front of them, not to mention whether your expectations are correct, just your idea of wanting to "play with zombies" is enough to be listed as an alien and hateful object by women.
Perhaps he also realized that he had gone too far, and Wang Qiang was very rare that he did not refute it.
"Brother Hu, how long have we been working now?" Seeing that his brother stopped talking, Tang Xiaoquan moved his gaze to Hu Xiaodong beside him.
Hu Xiaodong didn't answer in a hurry, he first carefully carried the bucket back to the car that was only half a bucket left, and then took a piece of plastic film and covered it.
After all, these are priceless treasures, and every drop is extremely precious, so he can't allow himself to slip through the cracks.
After finishing this qiē, he slowly turned around, and then replied, "It's been more than an hour!" ”
Wu nodded to himself, Tang Xiaoquan subconsciously glanced at the field in the distance, and at the same time quickly calculated in his heart: according to this progress, at most in an hour and a half, he should be able to complete the harvest of this area!
With a rough idea in his heart, Tang Xiaoquan's eyes immediately became sharp, and after waiting for more than 10 minutes, he issued the order to act again.
Back in the field, the four teams returned to their positions, and after returning to their positions, it didn't take much effort for Wang Qiang to get bored again.
He was boredom shaking his right leg, and his anxious state of mind continued to speed up the metabolism of Xincheng in his body, so he soon noticed something strange in his body.
So......
Forcefully inserting the spear in his hand into the ground, Wang Qiang put the corpse shield attached to his left hand on the shaft of the spear. Then, without any warning, he walked towards the secluded place of the rice field.
There is no doubt that what Wang Qiang did was completely contrary to the rules of action, which made Tang Xiaoquan, who had been paying attention to his actions, raise his eyebrows, and immediately shouted angrily: "Wang Qiang! What are you going to do! ”。
