Chapter Forty-Three: The Relocation Begins
"But if we go back......" said Mina, "well, look what we have?" If the people in the dungeon can't withstand the Jones attack, how can we help with these broken guns in our hands? ”
"Yes!" Mina's words activated the atmosphere of those who were in favor of not leaving just now: "We can't help with this little belongings, and it's useless to go, it's better not to go!" ”
Of course, Brother Zhen knew that the people here all escaped when the catastrophe came and the Central City was in chaos. When they left Central City, they fled in a panic and had no time to prepare, so they didn't have anything more than the weapons and ammunition they had with them. These weapons and ammunition are only worn out and not replenished, and there are not many left, so many people use knives or homemade bows and arrows. Isn't it a joke to fight the Jones people with such a weapon!
But more importantly, there is the psychological factor. People are always selfish, the so-called husband and wife are birds with the same fate, and they fly separately when the limit comes. This is true for husbands and wives, let alone irrelevant people? These people originally lived at the bottom of society and were not taken seriously, and over time, subtly, they did not pay attention to themselves anymore. Just like in the days of the Ghetto, Central City fought the Jones to the death, what does it have to do with me? If I win, I won't get any benefits, so why should I participate?
"I know, I know!" Brother Zhen hurriedly said, "So I didn't say that you must go back!" However, I must go back! Even if it's just me, I'll choose to go back! ”
"You're going back alone?" Jennifer asked, "Looking for death?" ”
"Even if it is," Brother Zhen smiled bitterly: "If you don't go, there is a reason not to go, I will go, there is a reason for me to go, each has a destiny!" ”
As soon as Brother Zhen's words came out, the noise became chaotic, and many women felt that Brother Zhen was talking nonsense because of a fever. It's a good peaceful day, but I actually want to go back to find death. There are also many women, and because they have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, Ba Wang will have his turn in a few days, how can he let Brother Zhen go?
"Quiet and quiet!" Mother Li didn't speak just now, but was quietly discussing something with Zheng Xiaojie. At this time, seeing that it was a mess, she hurriedly stood up and stopped loudly: "It's quiet, listen to me!" ”
"I ask you to count the bullets in your pockets!" When everyone was quiet, Mama Li said, "How much is left?" …… Not much, right? Some people don't have it for a long time, and they usually rely on bows, arrows, and clubs for hunting, right? ”
She said, pausing before adding, "We've been here for years, and we've basically run out of ammunition to bring with us. If I don't add more, I won't see it long, this year, or next year, we'll have to use knives, bows and arrows, stones, and clubs as weapons! How much longer can we hold out? I don't think we have to wait until the Jones have wiped out the people in the dungeon, go back and clean us up, and we'll be done with ourselves! ”
Everyone is silent, and the real predicament is actually known in everyone's heart, but they don't usually want it. Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is counted as one day, and most people will choose to do so.
"And here, a little better, is this hot spring area. But there are no more than 100,000 people living in the hot spring area, why, are you going to fight to the death for this place? Mother Li continued: "So, no matter what you think, our tribe still has to get out of here!" …… Let's let Xiaojie say it next! ”
"I just analyzed it with Mama Li, and I think we still have to get out of here!" Zheng Xiaojie also stood up: "When we settled here, it was because of the hot climate on the earth, so we chose here. But now, it's too cold and there's not an abundance of produce, and it's hard for so many of us to feed ourselves. So, we still have to choose to leave! ”
Zheng Xiaojie said, taking out a map and spreading it on the table.
"Please see, this is where we are now," Zheng Xiaojie pointed to the place to the south: "This is a desert that stretches to the coast. Further south, there is a plain and hilly area. That place, Brother Zhen and I visited all the way here, the climate is much warmer than here, and the products are also very rich. ”
"You mean, where we moved?" Rachel looked at the map and asked, "Not going to the dungeon?" ”
"Yes, let's move there first," Zheng Xiaojie said, "As for whether we will go to the dungeon or not, we don't have to be busy deciding first, and it's too late to make a decision when we get there to see the situation." ”
"It's really not hot there?" Some people didn't seem to believe it, because they passed by there when they came, and it was still hot and scorched.
"When you pass through there, the catastrophe has not subsided, and it must be frighteningly hot. But when Brother Zhen and I passed by there, it was already very good," Zheng Xiaojie said, "I'm afraid of getting cold when I don't cover something at night!" ”
"You're not going to trick us into leaving here, are you?"
"I'm only responsible for telling you the truth, as for whether to leave or not, you decide for yourself!" Zheng Xiaojie said.
"That's right! Whether you go or not, our tribe will move there! Li Ma added: "In addition, because the distance has been shortened by more than half, the materials prepared now are enough." So I announced that we would be on our way in three days! If you are willing to go together, prepare after you go back, and set off together in three days. If you don't want to go, then stay, we don't force it! ”
"Thank you so much Mama Li!" After the meeting ended, Brother Zhen said gratefully: "I'm confused, I really don't know what to do!" ”
"Don't thank me, thank you Sister Jie!" Li's mother smiled: "Her suggestion is very much in line with me, in fact, the weather is getting colder, and I have already had the idea of moving south, and her suggestion happens to coincide with me." ”
The crowd dispersed, each to his own point of thinking about his future plans. More than 20,000 people from the Li Ma tribe began to prepare for the road wholeheartedly. Brother Zhen saw that Mama Li was well arranged, and there was nothing to do with him, so he thought about it again.
"Should we send some men to the front station?" He asked Li's mother.
"That's right," Mama Li said after thinking about it, "You can arrange it!" ”
Brother Zhen immediately gathered his group of 100 and announced to them the matter of the front station. He originally thought that Zheng Xiaojie should lead the team, but it was inconvenient for Zheng Xiaojie to take the child, so he decided to go by himself.
He picked fifty people and brought Jennifer with him, but Li Linger also went.
"You just go with the army!" Brother Zhen persuaded Li Ling'er: "Although there are Mina, Rachel, and Sister Xiaojie, after all, so many people act collectively, there are many things, and you need to be by your mother's side to help her." ”
"My mother said no," Li Ling'er said, "She agreed that I would go with you to the front station." ”
Since Mama Li said so, Brother Zhen naturally did not refuse. He, Li Ling'er and Jennifer set off on the same day with fifty people. He and Zheng Xiaojie walked all the way to this road, and they were familiar with the road when they went back at this time, and they soon arrived at the beach.
"Wow! And such a beautiful place! ”
Seeing the sea and the sky, Li Linger, Jennifer and others couldn't help but admire. When they first passed by, it was still gray at first glance, but now the air is fresh, and it is completely different.
"Yes, the earth is very self-healing," said Brother Zhen, "as long as we don't spoil ourselves, it will get better and better!" ”
"It seems that we did the right thing by choosing to move south," Li Ling'er said, "but it's a pity that the Jones people are back......"
"Let's hurry!" Brother Zhen said.
There are not many people, and they are selected elite soldiers, so they travel day and night and run very fast. Ten days later, they had bypassed the desert and came to a plain and hilly area.
"Let's choose this place!" Jennifer said: "It's flat, the climate is suitable, and it's not far from the mountains. We set up camp here, and even if it was 100,000 people, it would be very empty. Coupled with the fact that we are backed by mountains, we will soon be able to retreat into the mountains in case the Jones people come. ”
"Good idea!" Brother Zhen praised: "Everything that should be considered has been considered, and that is here!" ”
Now that the Jones have returned to Earth, it is a great source of unease, and it is certainly not possible to set up camp without considering them.
It took them three days to roughly delineate the location of the camp and mark it with piles.
"Let's do it first," Brother Zhen saw that it was basically done, so he asked everyone to rest: "As for the specific camp, let's wait for the arrival of the large army before starting!" ”
"This place is really good, backed by mountains, and it is convenient to build a camp and collect materials," Li Ling'er stood in their temporary campsite, looked at the large land in front of him and said, "Sitting facing south, there is a fertile land in front of you!" ”
"You can build an imperial city here," Jennifer laughed, "You say yes, Emperor?" ”
Brother Zhen smiled and didn't speak. Next, it's time to wait for the arrival of the team. There are many of them, and they carry a lot of things, so naturally they don't run as fast as they do in front of the station. During these days of waiting, the "Emperor" began to feel restless again, and he began to remember the dungeon.
Brother Zhen always stood dumbfounded, looking south. Li Linger and Jennifer naturally saw him like this.
"Are you thinking about the dungeon again?"
"Yes...... I think, is it necessary for us to go over and see? ”
"If the Jones have already started attacking the dungeon," Li Ling'er said, "isn't it dangerous to go over now?" ”
"Yes! But we don't know anything about the situation over there, it's hard to judge! "We're setting up camp here, and the Jones will find out sooner or later, so I think I should go and scout," he said. ”
Brother Zhen's idea, Li Linger and Jennifer both felt that it was very necessary. They had to figure out if the dungeon was still in the hands of the earthlings. If the dungeon is still in the hands of the earthlings, then it is feasible for them to set up camp here. The Jones can't take the dungeon, so they don't have time to take care of anything else. But what if the dungeon has already been lost? Their camp should have to be retreated, and it would be safer to build it into the mountains behind them.
"Let's send someone to see!" Jennifer said, "But you can't go! ”
"I should go!" Brother Zhen said, "I ran out of the dungeon and am familiar with it. None of you have ever seen a dungeon, and you can't figure out the east, south, west, and west when you go. ”
"Isn't it just below the original Central City?" Jennifer said: "We all know this position. ”
