Evening.

Grass fields, bread grass fields, pressurized water wells...... All units in the settlement ended their work ahead of schedule.

Taking advantage of the sunset, hundreds of people came to the large conference room.

Participate in the "monthly work meeting" of the settlement.

The little old man on the rostrum is none other than Grandpa.

The notebook in his hand recorded the output of each unit this month.

Under the rostrum, each unit sat separately.

In the middle, there are more than 100 people, men, women and children, and the work unit is a bread and grass field.

On both sides, there are old men in the fields of shelter, sturdy men on the night watch, and old ladies who take care of pressurized wells......

Bai Kabu and his sister Bai Chino sat in the corner of the conference room, in the seat of "healing grass planting retail investors".

Grandpa's voice was like chanting a mantra, plain and indifferent.

In this empty conference room, he didn't have a loud voice.

If your ears are not strong, you can't even hear what he's saying.

"Welcome to the monthly work meeting.

"It's getting colder, and we're not verbose, long story short.

"Two crops of breadgrass were harvested this month, with a total yield of 6,000 catties.

……

The meeting room is huge.

It was cold.

And the windows are broken.

The cold wind poured in.

Under the rostrum, most of the people wore padded jackets.

All hands in their sleeves.

Still, you have to keep shivering to keep warm.

The young man's iron head muttered secretly, "I didn't see it, my grandfather is quite frost-resistant, and his voice doesn't tremble." ”

White Kabu sat not far away.

His big padded jacket opened his arms and hugged the little girl Bai Chino inside.

In fact, the two brothers and sisters did not tremble.

After all, there are two sets of thermal underwear inside, which is quite hot.

In the stands, the grandfather has a tight neckline of the padded jacket, and it is estimated that there are thermal underwear hidden inside.

White Kabu realized that he needed to do something.

He leaned into his sister's ear and spoke in the lowest possible voice.

"Shiver twice from time to time, pretending to be cold."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and soon understood.

The body immediately swung and arched into his brother's arms.

Both hands tightened the front of the big padded jacket, revealing only the baby's fat face.

Can't let anyone know they have thermal underwear!

After all, wealth is not exposed!

“…… This month's yield of healing grass hit a new high. ”

When Grandpa read this, he subconsciously glanced at the Bai Kabu brothers and sisters in the audience.

I saw these two guys shivering with cold.

When others grow old, they immediately realize something.

Ahem!

Ahem, ahem!

Hurriedly coughed a few times and pretended to be cold.

Soon, the form was finished.

Then arrange the next work.

"At this point, the breadgrass is barely growing.

"Next, eighty people in the eastern district of breadgrass fields are responsible for drying the breadgrass in stock.

"Seventy-six people from the western district of the bread grass field are responsible for supporting the firewood grass field.

……

Finish the work.

Cough a few more times.

A few more clichés.

“…… Units, do you have any questions?

"Is there anything that needs to be reacted to?

"Didn't you?

"Then ......"

"Yes!"

A loud voice resounded in the conference room.

I saw the front row, the captain of the night watch, Black Bull standing up.

He was not yet thirty years old.

Broad shoulders, broad back, thick neck, full of beard.

"It's getting colder. It's fine during the day, but at night it freezes to death.

"I want to apply for an extra padded jacket for my brothers on the Night Watch.

"And you need to add a late-night snack. Twenty brothers, each with half a pound of breadgrass per day. ”

There was silence in the room.

There was only so much breadgrass in the colony that the Night Watch wanted to eat more, and the others had to eat less.

Grandpa waved his hand.

"The daily quota of the night watch, one pound of breadgrass, is already the highest ...... in the settlement"

"You fart!"

The black bull opened his throat and yelled, interrupting his grandfather's words.

In the conference room, everyone was stunned!

For decades, no one has ever spoken to Grandpa like this!

The black bull's thick arm pointed at Sun Ye.

The roar resounded throughout the room.

"When you lie down in the bed and sleep, Lao Tzu takes his brothers to fight zombies!"

At night, the zombies become more active.

Occasionally, there will be extremely special zombies, which will produce strange changes, no longer afraid, and rush into the grass field against the toxicity of the corpse weed!

At this time, it is necessary for the night watchmen, with shovels and iron forks, to rush up and smash the heads of zombies.

The black bull is still scolding.

"As soon as you wake up, Lao Tzu may all be opened by zombies!

"Isn't Lao Tzu's life worth these breadgrass?"

The little girl, Bai Chino, shrunk in her brother's arms, trembling with fright.

White Kabu hugged his sister tightly.

"Don't be afraid, my brother is here."

The black bull scolded and walked towards Sun Ye.

Came to the podium, across a table.

The arm was raised, pointing to Grandpa's face.

A mouthful of yellow teeth, spittle spurted out.

"Old thing, if you don't give it today, the night watch team won't do it!

"The zombies rushed in and gnawed your old face first!

"Today you have to say yes!"

Syllable!

He slapped the tabletop and the table cracked and sagged.

……

In the night watch, several strong men smiled.

Others were somewhat apprehensive.

They hadn't seen anything like it in decades.

What to do?

Do you want to help grandpa?

But the black bull's shoulders are so broad...... The arms are so thick...... It's so loud......

……

White Kabu put his sister down from his arms.

Get up, take her hand, and step by step forward.

"Uncle Black Bull."

He walked behind the black bull.

In his left hand, he pulled the frightened Bai Chino.

Waiting for the black cow to stare at it, he turned around.

Syllable!

Bai Kabu's right hand was raised, and he slapped the black bull's bearded face.

Poof!

The black bull's face was deformed, his entire body was fanned, he fell several meters, fell to the ground, and spat out two bloody teeth.

Bai Kabu's right hand rubbed against the hem of his clothes, as if it had just been soiled.

There was an instant uproar in the conference room.

No one knew that Bai Kabu actually had so much strength!

The strong men of the Night Watch stood up one after another, their eyes glaring!

Bai Kabu patted his sister on the shoulder.

"Go find grandpa."

Then he stepped forward, bent down, grabbed the collar, and picked up the black bull.

"Uncle Black Bull, you can't make a loud noise in the conference room.

"You go outside first and calm down."

The black bull was stunned by a slap, and at this time the world was spinning, and he had not yet come back to his senses.

I felt weightless again.

It turned out that Bai Kabu shook his arm and threw his 180-pound body towards the broken window.

Bang!

The glass shattered.

Poof.

The black bull landed.

Bai Kabu walked up to the rostrum and stood behind his grandfather.

The strong men of the Night Watch felt embarrassed.

They had just stood up.

At this time, he didn't dare to step forward, after all, Bai Kabu was like a monster.

I also feel that sitting down will seem too cowardly, and I will be sorry for the black bull.

"Don't make a fuss, sit down and sit down."

Grandpa smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"The most important thing in a settlement is unity.

"If there is a problem, let's solve it together.

"The Night Watch wants to increase the breadgrass quota, so it's negotiable.

"Black Tiger, Black Sheep, go outside and see the Black Bull."

The two strong men were the brothers of the black bull and hurriedly trotted out.

"Everyone else sits down and talks about quotas."

The other strong men sat down one after another.

Grandpa still spoke in a slow tone.

"Breadgrass stuff, that's all there is.

"Now the Night Watch wants to increase the quota.

"From other units, why don't we give them some?"

The conference room immediately boiled.

"That's not going to work!"

"We're still starving!"

"In the entire settlement, only the night watch can eat enough."

"Winter is coming, and no one can suffer!"

……

Grandpa smiled and looked at the Night Watch.

"It seems that there is no quota for you.

"We have a second option.

"There are 20 people on the night watch, and the daily quota is 20 catties.

"If anyone thinks the Night Watch is too dangerous, they can quit, but the total quota of twenty pounds remains the same.

"For example, if you quit ten people, each of the remaining people will have a quota of two catties.

"If you quit nineteen people, the remaining one will have an exclusive quota of twenty catties.

"Okay, sit on those who stay, stand up on those who quit."

Throughout the room, all eyes were on the Night Watch.

Not a single one stood up.

Grandpa still smiled.

"The three brothers, Black Bull, Black Tiger, and Black Sheep, are too temperamental to be captains.

"Seventeen of you, choose one captain and three vice-captains.

"Li Tomato, your kid is also twenty years old. Do you have the confidence to be a good captain? ”

Li Tomato's face immediately flushed.

"I, I, thank you, grandpa, I have!"

"Zhang Gua, what about you? My brothers and sisters need your protection. Would you like to be a vice-captain? ”

"I do!"

……

The captain and vice captain selected by Grandpa are all dragged by their families.

After that, Grandpa's tone became much lower.

"It's been a long time since there has been violence in the settlement.

"Everybody seems to have forgotten the rules.

"If someone uses his big fists to beat people casually in a settlement, wouldn't that be a mess?"

In the conference room, everyone responded.

"Let's reiterate this provision.

"But whoever beats a man with his hands, without a single bread of bread and straw in the settlement, without him a house, let all the people do it against him and expel him out!

"Do you think it's okay?"

"Good!"

In the conference room, hundreds of people shouted.

"This time, I will spare the black cow first. The next is not an example. ”

……

Bai Kabu hugged his sister, wrapped her in a big cotton jacket, and returned home.

"Brother, you're so amazing."

"Ang, of course your brother is amazing.

"If he dares to scare my sister, then he will weigh whether he can resist the beating."

"Actually, he didn't scare me directly......"

"So your brother only used thirty percent of his strength."

…… Didn't open the scoop for this bastard. Bai Kabu added in his heart.

His strength is already seventy points.

……

National Highway 502.

The cracked highway reflects the afterglow of the setting sun.

A pickup truck drove into the territory of Fruit Province.

There were two men and a woman in the car, wearing dark green woolen coats.

"Brother Damin, do you start transmitting FM signals?"

"Launch. These small settlements are sparse and deeply hidden, and if you don't get in touch, I'm afraid it's hard to find. ”

On the roof of the car, a white figure sits cross-legged, with palms supporting the chin.

He was slender and slender.

He was unclothed and covered with white scales.

Shawl with white hair, lifted by the wind.

No matter how the pickup truck accelerates, slows down, or turns, he sits steadily.

From time to time, zombies on both sides of the road noticed him, either screaming or kneeling.

Hearing the man in the car talking, he licked the corner of his mouth.

"These guys, they're really gluttonous.

"I kind of want to eat them."
