Volume 1 Cataclysm Chapter 17 Shift
"I'm full, I'm going to take a lunch break, I can't work in the afternoon, it's too hard." After being fed lunch, Hu Demei immediately began to pretend to be miserable again.
When Cui Shengzhi saw his appearance, he couldn't help but sigh that some people really have no bottom line.
Mo Xuan looked around and asked, "How many others can move in the afternoon?" ”
"Don't cut down trees." Everyone said in unison.
Mo Xuan touched his head and smiled helplessly, and said, "Don't cut down trees, go to work." ”
"Then I can." Hamura said, holding up his hand.
"I'm okay too." Scott moved his wrist and didn't feel particularly tired.
Omega nodded.
"Then let's leave at two o'clock in the afternoon, Venus you don't work, so let's go together in the afternoon."
"Actually, I don't think it's useful for me to go, I haven't fired a single shot until now." Venus stroked her long, silky brown hair with her hand.
"That's not good? Even if you want to shoot, the situation is already critical. Mo Xuan teased. You're the ultimate weapon at the bottom of our box. ”
Venus smiled heartily, patted Mo Xuan's shoulder vigorously and said, "Sister likes this." ”
"Then it's settled, let's all go back and rest." Mo Xuan stood up and moved his muscles and bones, feeling really tired.
"What are you going to do in the afternoon?" Choi Sung-ji was still struggling to solve the food on the plate and looked up and asked.
"Don't you always think that the shotgun is a man's romance." Mo Xuan said with a smile.
"You can't say that, the caliber is." Choi felt that his statement was not rigorous enough.
"Caliber can't decide everything, let's go get some real men's toys for you this afternoon."
"What are real men playing?"
"Real men play with chainsaws."
……
The five of them got into the car of Hamura, which had been slammed by the zombie before, and the left side of the car was dented and stained with blood.
"You're in good shape, right? If there is a situation, you must say it as soon as possible, I don't want you to die outside. Mo Xuan seemed to be pointing.
"No problem, don't worry." Hamura responded with a smile.
"I've got something! It's not about coming. Venus said sullenly.
"Don't be so angry when you get up, promise good things, you say yes." For the only female comrade in the team and his girlfriend's best friend, Mo Xuan thinks it is still necessary to coax it.
Venus was still not very happy. Hamura wanted to drive but didn't know where to go, so he turned around and asked, "Do any of you know where to sell chainsaws?" ”
"There must be logging land." Omega said absent-mindedly with his fingers clasped.
"Nonsense, the question is how there is logging over here."
"Go to the countryside, drive to the countryside, there will be sales over there." Scott said as he sat in the passenger seat.
"Over at Hood Manor?"
"Don't go over there, go south."
"It's too far to the south, it takes two hours to get there, and it's six o'clock back and forth." Hamura was a little worried.
"Don't panic, just drive faster, anyway, there are no traffic police now." Scott still looked like he was not thinking about it.
“…… What do you say, Xuan-kun. ”
"Let's go back quickly, we have guns anyway, so if we can't do it, we'll spend the night there."
"People here will be worried, and now we can't get in touch, we don't have military satellites."
"There's no way around it, and you can't just think about eating meat and not getting beaten up." Mo Xuan felt that he had been assimilated by Hood, and the more tense things became, the more witty they became.
……
At about half past three, a group of people who hurried all the way came to a small town near the countryside, and found that the street was full of people, and the small shop was still open, and someone was open inside.
“…… Damn, there's nothing going on in this place. Omega was stunned.
"I don't know, could it be that these zombies have evolved camouflage?" Venus looked at it for a while, but still couldn't find any flaws.
"Anyway, pay attention to safety, if it's a normal person, it's illegal for us to go down with guns and knives, I'll go down and take a look first." Mo Xuan opened the car door and walked cautiously to the street, not daring to get too close to people.
"You're from outside?" A white man in a police uniform in his thirties suddenly shouted out to Mo Xuan behind his back.
"That's right, we're students from Goulander High School." Mo Xuan turned around and found that the policeman had already held the gun, and the muzzle of the gun was half-raised, so he raised his hand to signal that he was not threatening.
"Do you have an infected person in your car?" The policeman looked at the bloodstained car with a bad look.
"No, we are all normal people, we want to come over to exchange for some supplies, hasn't your town been infected by the epidemic?"
"Let them get out of the car and put their hands where I can see them." As he spoke, another police officer rushed here, forming a situation of encirclement.
Mo Xuan asked the other team members to get out of the car and raised their hands above their heads. Two police officers stepped forward to check on their bodies for wounds. When she met Venus, she had some trouble and was scolded back, and the police didn't look like she was infected when they saw her so energetic.
After the inspection was over, the policeman led by him put away his gun, went up to shake Mo Xuan's hand, and apologized.
"I apologize for pointing a gun at you just now, and now you're free. But I hope you can understand, after all, the whole world is crazy now, and my town is lucky, because there are not too many people, and we need to take necessary precautions against outsiders. ”
"You're the sheriff here?" Mo Ying asked the police officer who was obviously taking the lead.
"Well, I'm now Sheriff and Acting Administrator, and the original Chief Executive went crazy - he's been killed." The officer's expression was resolute, and it was clear that he must be the kind of person who was very responsible.
Mo Xuan stretched out his hand again to introduce himself: "I am Mo Xuan, and this town is very lucky to have someone like you to protect it. ”
"Curry. Can you ask what you want here? ”
"Chainsaw, we need to build fortifications."
"It's better to stay, it's better to take care of the big guys." Curry suggested.
Mo Xuan pondered for a moment: "We still have more than ten partners. ”
"You can bring it along, we have a lot of empty houses here."
"We'll discuss it when we get back, thank you for your kindness."
"You're welcome, all those who survive in this situation have to help each other. By the way, we are now using barter, the original currency is no longer in circulation, I hope you can find what you want here, I still have to go on patrol, I am out of company. ”
"Please." Mo Xuan politely talked to the sheriff named Curry.
After the police officers withdrew, Mo Xuan got into the car again and asked, "How many guns did we bring this time?" ”
"What do you want to do? It's definitely not enough to kill all the people here. Scott was shocked, but he didn't expect Mo Xuan to be fiercer than himself.
"What are you thinking? I just spoke to the policeman and he said it's bartering here, let's get guns for some chainsaws, luckily no money, otherwise I wouldn't know where to get the money. ”
"Five guns, two hundred rounds of ammunition." Hamura said, "You're the captain, you can't pay attention to this kind of thing when it's coming." ”
"I'm humble enough to accept criticism, how about we get two guns and forty rounds of ammunition to exchange two chainsaws with him later?"
"The price is lower." Omega rubbed his nose, still looking absent-minded.
"What then?"
"Let's come back tomorrow and bring more things."
"Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the sheriff was interested in recruiting us into their town, what do you say?"
"I think it's good, but I'll have to listen to them. Our family background is not so good, and we all moved here. Venus said.
"Just go back and ask, if you plan to move here, you don't need to buy a chainsaw."
After everyone decided, they drove back.
……
Before dinner, the five of them rushed back to the villa, and after dinner, Mo Xuan held a meeting.
He first told the rest of the people about today's events, and everyone was amazed.
"Peach Blossom Spring." Hood thought for a long time and came up with a Chinese word.
"Avalon." Xu Chu teased with the legend of hope.
"Let's vote by a show of hands, this matter is about whether the team will stay or not, and I can't decide alone." Alberta stood up and said, "But the pros and cons are obvious, we may be relatively safe there, but if the town falls apart from the inside one day, we may have to deal with more zombies." ”
"And," Mo Xuan chimed in, "according to the soldiers who came to me that day, their satellite imagery shows that the zombies will gather somewhere or move away from a certain place. ”
"What does this mean?" Hamura asked.
"This means that there may be two unknown forces that can attract or disperse them, simply to control them, and in this case, the worst-case scenario is to form a huge tide of corpses and move in a directional direction." Cui Shengzhi analyzed.
"Yes, but it's not proven, it's just a theory, it may or may not happen, I'm just telling you about some of the potential possibilities, and we're going to have to give up some resources if we want to move. The vote is now ready to begin. ”
The final result was that six people did not raise their hands, and the rest of the people agreed to move their positions, and Mr. Andelu abstained.
Those who did not raise their hands were Mo Xuan, Xu Chu, Yu Village, Hood, Cui Shengzhi and Scott.
"Looks like you're worried about this?" Aier saw that none of the four boys who had more power to speak in the past raised their hands, and felt as if this matter was not so simple.
Mo Xuan nodded and said, "I don't have any objection to this matter itself, but...... What I saw at school that day was not so reassuring, and I felt like the last time I saw Melvin, his ...... Words, it has become a lot. ”
"Maybe it's because he's too nervous." Al doesn't know much about Melvin, and she doesn't really like the man who looks like a stone.
"The minority obeys the majority, and since it has been decided, it obeys the arrangement, it doesn't matter." Choi Sung-ji has always been very understanding of what others are thinking.
"Well, we have no objections." Hamura replied as well.
"Then the results of the meeting are announced below, the vote for the relocation of the shelter, six votes against, eight votes in favor, and one abstention, then the next plan has been decided, starting tomorrow to pack up our things, let's leave for the countryside as soon as possible."
Hood, who had always been a talker, didn't say a word this time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
