The weather is still cold, but the whole Mengjia Village is hot. After Meng Qingqiang's return, a new round of expansion was vigorously launched.

Meng Qingqiang first took the Mutual Aid Association and his party to visit Mengjia Village seriously, and Zhang Tiansheng, who was very satisfied, was ready to leave for the first time to return to the transit station and arrange for the members of the Mutual Aid Association to move here, but Meng Qingqiang stayed on the grounds that he needed his help on important matters. He had no choice but to arrange for others to return, while he stayed in Mengjia Village and waited to help Meng Qingqiang solve what he said about the important matter related to the survival of mankind.

Xing Tianliang and Ji Liang stayed in the Brotherhood, and their task was also very arduous, first of all, they had to sift through the entire Brotherhood, and transport most of the members and materials back to Mengjia Village, and at the same time pay attention to Song Yuqin's follow-up work, and in the name of the Brotherhood, absorb a large number of people, trade with the transfer station to replenish the materials needed, and continuously replenish the blood for Mengjia Village.

With the expansion of the population, the construction of Mengjia Village has also reached the time of urgency, although the cold weather in winter is not conducive to construction, but it can still be carried out when there are enough manpower.

Meng Qingqiang has a general framework in mind for how to rebuild Mengjia Village, but the specific plan and construction are not something he can do, fortunately, the personnel in the last days are complex, and there are people from all walks of life. It didn't take long for him to find the talent he was looking for.

Dong Yansong is one of them, he was a very experienced project manager before the disaster, and he has presided over the construction of many municipal construction projects. Meng Qingqiang delegated power and asked him to form a construction team of Mengjia Village on his own, and make designs and start construction in accordance with the general direction. All construction team members are no longer involved in the collection of dangerous materials and are paid more in terms of living materials.

The search team that went out fully cooperated with the construction team, mainly collecting the materials and machinery needed for construction, and at the same time, Meng Qingqiang also personally led the team to clear the mutants, so as to obtain a large number of heads for going to the transfer station in exchange for the required materials.

At present, the personnel of Mengjia Village are divided into four parts: the armed search team led by Meng Qingqiang, the construction team led by Dong Yansong, and Chen Lao, who is relatively good at agriculture, is responsible for the cultivation of vegetable greenhouses and the raising of livestock. Finally, Yang Fei led some personnel who had relevant skills in the past to restore the operation of the power plant next to the reservoir.

As the sky darkened, the search team and the construction team outside returned to the village. Some families return directly to their homes, while single people go to the collective canteen in the village to eat.

The lights gradually came on, and the village became lively. In a room in a small building in Mengjia Village, several bright candles were lit, Dong Yansong's wife. was preparing dinner, and his son Dong Xing on the side was reading a comic book with relish in the dim light.

Due to the increase in population and the fact that most of the oil-fired generators are used by the construction team, most families can only light candles, kerosene lamps and other lighting equipment at night.

"Xiaoxing, have you finished your homework?"

"It's been written a long time ago, Mom, I'm relatively old in our class. So what is taught now is a bit simple for me. Dong Xing replied without looking up.

"Now there are fewer children, and there is no way to subdivide them. When you are older, you need to help those who are younger than you.

"Okay, okay, Mom, don't worry!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Dong Xing put down the cartoon in his hand and opened the door. I saw Dong Yansong, who couldn't hide his tiredness, standing outside the door.

"You're back, tired, aren't you?" The wife of the kitchen, wiping her hands, asked

"Well, I'm really tired, now our construction team has few people, there are not many skilled workers, and the tasks given by the village chief are also heavy, and my whole body is like falling apart at the end of this day, but fortunately, I finally got back to my old job, and I don't have to go out with a gun every day to fight to the death with those monsters."

"Yes, my children and I don't have to worry about you every day at home. Let's go wash up and eat in a while. When his wife heard his words, she smiled in agreement.

Dong Yansong snorted, "It's so fragrant, what are you going to eat tonight?" ”

"Hehe, pork ribs stewed potatoes. Today we killed two pigs. The village chief knew that you were working hard, so he asked Chen Lao to arrange for someone to send some ribs to our family. ”

Ouch,That's a good dare.,It's been a long time since I've eaten such a dish.,I'm tired of eating it before.。。。 As he spoke, his voice lowered, and his expression became a little sad.

Seeing her husband's expression, his wife smiled and comforted: "It's good now, the world is not as good as before, and now you don't know what is going on outside, and you don't know what to do at the transfer station." Now in the village, the days are getting better day by day. The previous life was definitely not comparable, but compared to those who couldn't eat, our current life is really much stronger. ”

"Yes, yes, with the village chief with us, we will definitely get better and better in the future." Dong Yansong perked up. Soon the fragrant meal was served on the table, and the family gathered around the table, chatting while eating.

Dong Yansong's wife asked, "Your construction team, how is the work going?" ”

"The low fence outside the village has been completely demolished, the land has been leveled, the foundation is being excavated, and according to the plan, the construction team is now mainly building residential buildings, which is difficult to build in winter, but everyone is very enthusiastic about their own homes. It is said that everything in the village is good, but there are too few houses, unlike our previous transfer station, where there are as many houses as there are. ”

"There were a lot of houses at the transit station, but there was no normal life like now, and I didn't want to mention the days at that time. You see that now the fruits and vegetables can eat fresh, my son has an egg every day, and I work happily with other women every day. After his wife sandwiched a piece of pork ribs for her son, she turned around and said to Dong Yansong.

"That's right," Dong Yansong smiled.

Suddenly, the lights in the house came on, and the dim room was instantly bright, which could not help but lift people's spirits, and the son on the side also cheered, and the whole village could hear faint cheers.

"Oops, great, the village will notify you in the afternoon. It is estimated that the power station will resume operation tonight. I came back early and turned on all the switches, and finally there was power. ”

"Lao Yang is really hard, during this time I heard that he has been leading people, busy working day and night in the power plant. Now I finally have an explanation to the village chief, and the construction of our construction team will be more convenient in the future. ”

His son Dong Xing couldn't take care of eating, so he took out the mobile phone charger in his schoolbag and plugged it in, and happily charged the mobile phone. Dong Yansong sat on the side and looked at his wife who extinguished the candles and his son who was excited on the side, and his heart was also relieved. Although the present is not as bright as before, the days are like this bright light, and the foreseeable future is full of hope.

Looking at Yang Fei, who looked haggard but had an excited glint in his eyes, Meng Qingqiang stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hard work Lao Yang, although we call it Mengjia Village, it doesn't mean that we have to live in the primitive countryside in the past, now with electricity, everything is different." I have a lot of ideas that can be realized, and it's all thanks to you! Now that the power plant is restored, you also have a few more days of rest. What is the state of the power plant's operation?

Yang Fei's heart was very happy, his hard work during this period of time was not in vain, he smiled and said to Meng Qingqiang: "The power plant has just been restored and it is not particularly stable, so I have to continue to stare there these days, our hydropower plant is medium-sized, and the power supply of several surrounding towns in the past is now more than enough to supply electricity to a few hundred people in our village."

"Great, electricity is the foundation of our development, and this is all up to you. In two days, you will take the time to find Dong Yansong of the construction team, and cooperate with the construction team to organize people to lay cables according to our plan. Sharpen the knife and cut the wood, you see the haggard on your face, so you still listen to me for the past two days and take a good rest. ”

Sending away the ambitious Yang Fei, Meng Qingqiang walked to the window, lowered his head and pondered, Mengjia Village has been on the right track in terms of people's livelihood, the increase in population, the supply of electricity, and the continuous production of food, and the armed forces in the village are also becoming more and more powerful because of the transaction with the transfer station, and it is foreseeable that the future development will be better and better, but he has not forgotten that the outside world is still the weak and strong, and the appearance of eating monsters is rampant, and it is still uncertain what the future of human beings will look like with their own destiny. And the mysterious mutant has been dormant for too long.

Therefore, if you want to protect the scene in front of you and the people around you, in the last days, force is the most important condition.

Through the bright streets, his gaze was drawn to a distant building, a warehouse far from Mengjia Village, surrounded by a thick iron fence and guarded by black hands dressed in SWAT uniforms.

It is a forbidden place in Mengjia Village, and only Meng Qingqiang, Bai Ying and other relevant personnel can enter on weekdays. Ordinary villagers were told to stay away from the building.

The interior of the building has been transformed into a ground floor and a basement floor, where Mengjia Village is researching mutants and transforming black hands, Bai Ying, Zhang Tiansheng, and Yang Lili, who returned to Mengjia Village from the Mutual Aid Association, formed a research team that is studying and testing the ideas of Meng Qingqiang, Xing Tianliang and others.

And the basement layer is the core of the core, the House of the Black Hand, there are currently thirty black hands armed to the teeth, and there are four special individuals at the same time, Song Yuqin and three young warriors, the bodies of the four have been repaired, and Meng Qingqiang's blood has also been injected into it, but unlike the rapid transformation of ordinary black hands, from the moment of injection, the four of them fell into a deep sleep, and he could only vaguely feel that they were transforming, and the moment of waking up would not be far away.

Meng Qingqiang is looking forward to the awakening of these four unique individuals. I don't know what kind of surprise they will bring.
