Lu Xuan and Wang Fatzi did not go separately, in fact, it was only one of the two of them who came out to check the surrounding environment, and the second was that the two of them wanted to find a place where no one was around, and discuss what to do next.

After leaving the village, the two of them walked straight towards a big mountain behind them, and they wanted to climb to the top of the mountain, so that they could see the whole of the island.

"What do you think? Are we going to stay here? ”

Wang Fatzi had already seen Lu Xuan's intentions, so he asked directly, after all, the two had lived and died together for so long, and they definitely had a lifelong friendship.

"The current plan is indeed like this, but although there are natural advantages here, it will definitely not be so peaceful forever, I can see that although Tang Shiwei was shocked, he was not really at a loss as we saw, he still had his own plans, what they were, I don't know yet, but maybe he also considered the possibility that we want to stay, so in the end, it depends on their decision. All we can do is think about what if they don't let us stay here. ”

Lu Xuan analyzed the current situation very objectively, and at the same time expressed his thoughts.

"It's pretty much the same as I analyzed, except I feel like they should be able to let us stay, because they have no reason to refuse."

Wang Fatzi also said his thoughts.

"It's hard to say, although we have told them what it is like out there, but they haven't experienced it firsthand, and it's hard to guarantee that they will feel the same way we do, so it's hard to say the final result."

"Hmm. This is true, but there is also a possibility, although we are the first people to come here, but there is no guarantee that no one will come here in the future, after all, this was once a tourist resort, and there must be many people who know it, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will want to run here for refuge. But once they come, they won't necessarily be as talkative as we are. ”

The two of them had climbed halfway up the mountain, Lu Xuan was holding a tree with a thick bowl mouth with one hand and panting, turning around and looking down the mountain, here you can see the whole picture of the village under the mountain, the village is not big, there are only four or five rows of houses in the front and back, there are only about thirty families in total, it is now morning, and the smoke of several houses is rising.

Wang Fatzi was also a little angry, sat next to Lu Xuan, and casually pulled a leaf from the tree, threw it in his mouth and chewed it, and spit it on the ground.

The two rested for a while, then got up and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"If they really won't let us stay, let's do it?"

Wang Fatzi asked as he walked.

"If you don't stay here, let's see if we can borrow a boat, and then we can run away."

"Borrow? Do you think they'll lend us a boat? ”

Wang Fatzi turned his head to look at Lu Xuan in surprise.

"I don't know, it depends on the situation when the time comes, the people here are still in the state before the apocalypse, huh, this mountain is really high."

"That'...... Then you say...... What if we ...... It's really ...... Kicked out...... I...... I'm looking at the other side of the mountain...... The other side of ...... Look for...... Find a place to ...... Stay...... It's also good. ”

Wang Fatzi said while panting.

"Oh? When have you been so calm? It's not like the fat guy I know. ”

Lu Xuan glanced at Wang Fatzi in a little surprise, usually Wang Fatzi is not such a person, every time he sees a strange beast, this kid is the first to rush to the front, the more strange beasts, the more excited.

The fat man climbed a few more steps, and then sat on a stone on the side of the road, panting.

"Yesterday on the boat, I found out that the skill and knife skills I have always been proud of have no effect at all, and don't you notice, we haven't climbed to the top of the mountain, and we have already rested twice; If this had been put in the past, there would have been no rest. ”

Hearing Wang Fatzi say this, Lu Xuan also felt that something was wrong, indeed, needless to say that a master like Wang Fatzi would not be so unbearable.

Lu Xuan looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain, and then looked down the mountain;

"Is there something wrong with this mountain? Or is there something wrong with the whole island? I also feel that my physical strength is exerted much faster than usual. ”

Wang Fatzi shook his head, then looked around, and suddenly his eyes froze, and Lu Xuan also found that Wang Fatzi's expression was wrong, and then he looked at it, and there was a small bird lying on the ground next to a number, motionless, as if it was dead. The two walked over, Lu Xuan picked up a branch and touched the bird's corpse, but there was no response, Lu Xuan turned it over again, and did not find anything abnormal.

"It's just a dead bird, nothing special."

Lu Xuan casually threw away the branch and said, but Wang Fatzi's face became more and more solemn.

"No, did you notice, our surroundings are so quiet, we can't hear anything."

Wang Fatzi closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, slowly pulled out the Tang knife in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and then said:

"There is no sound around us, which means that there are no living creatures around us except for the two of us."

Lu Xuan felt that something was wrong from the beginning of the mountain, but he never found any problems, and now after Wang Fatzi said this, he realized that it is indeed impossible to be so quiet on a mountain with such a large vegetation area normally, thinking of this, Lu Xuan also held the compound bow behind him in his hand.

The two stood in place and waited for a while, but found nothing, and finally could only look around vigilantly while walking towards the mountain, this time the two walked very slowly, but they did not rest, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath.

There is a man-made watchtower on the mountain, which is usually used for fire prevention, and it is not too high, but you can see the whole island from the treetops. The wooden structure is held in place by steel cables, and when the wind blows, it sways from side to side, making a creaking sound as if it will collapse at any moment.

Lu Xuan and the others climbed up the ladder, and both of them couldn't help but be stunned for a while, the south side of the island is a port, which is the direction where Lu Xuan and they came, next to the port is the village, and on the west side of the island is the beach, and these small speedboats are fixed, and there are baths with floating lines in the sea. But now there is no one, and the road leading to the beach is separated by a wooden fence with a sign next to it.

Around the west, south, and east sides of the mountain are rows of terraced fields with various crops, and on the north side of the mountain is a dense jungle that is usually used for camping tourists, and there are many fruit trees planted in it.

"It seems that this place used to be a good place for vacation, and I was not afraid of being trapped here, and I was completely self-sufficient, and if nothing else, there was nothing wrong with living here for the rest of my life."

Lu Xuan held on to the railing with both hands, leaned forward, smiled, and took a deep breath;

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"

A cough came, covering his nose with one hand, his eyes were solemn, his face became extremely bad, and he looked in disbelief, Wang Fatzi glanced at Lu Xuan when he heard the cough, but when he saw Lu Xuan's face, he quickly turned around and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xuan didn't speak, just took his hand away and gasped twice, nothing abnormal, and then took a deep breath, and immediately coughed; After seeing it, Fat Wang also learned to take a deep breath, and immediately coughed, and then looked at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression.

"What's going on?"

Wang Fatzi looked at Lu Xuan, who was frowning and thoughtful, shrugged his shoulders, and looked at the jungle to the north. Lu Xuan thought for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know, let's go, go back."

The two walked down the watchtower and returned to the village according to the same route, where Qu Zijing and Liu Liping were already waiting at the head of the village. Liu Liping directly said what she had heard.

"We've all asked, and there have never been any strange beasts here, but there are a lot of toothfish in the sea, and those toothfish will attack all ships that go out to sea."

Qu Zijing continued:

"It's been a long time since a boat has gone out here, and no boat has come in. It has lasted for more than half a year, and all their current food supplies are based on a little left over from half a year ago, and there is a little bit they planted themselves, which used to be the main island farmhouse, so many people have the habit of storing a lot of food and vegetables at home, so as long as they survive the first year, they can eat what they grow in the future, so there is plenty to eat here. ”

"How's their weaponry and equipment here? What are the main means of defense? ”

Wang Fatzi is still more concerned about weapons and firepower.

"We didn't ask about that, but we didn't see any weapons from them."

Liu Liping scratched her head and said with some embarrassment.

"Hey, even if they had weapons, they wouldn't be in the open. Forget it, I'll see for myself. ”

Wang Fatzi's face was full of helplessness, he shook his head and turned around and walked away.

Tang Zhe helped Tang Shiwei out of the house, and when he saw that Lu Xuan and the others had returned, he walked over.

"You're back, how do you feel about us going out for a walk?"

Tang Shiwei's old voice came, and Lu Xuan and the three of them stood up straight, looked at Tang Shiwei and said in unison.

"Grandpa Tang."

"Grandpa Tang, are you okay?"

Qu Zijing stepped forward and helped Tang Shiwei and asked.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm still very receptive to new things."

Tang Shiwei laughed and said indifferently. However, Lu Xuan could see a trace of worry on Tang Shiwei's face, as well as the helplessness of being unable to control the world.

"Grandpa Tang, we have a reluctant request."

Lu Xuan thought about it and decided to say it directly, but Tang Shiwei waved his hand directly and said.

"You don't need to say it, I know you want to stay, but this matter, it's not for me to be the master, you go to the clan hall with me in a while, if several elders agree, you can stay, if the elders don't agree, even though I'm the patriarch, I can't do anything."

"Oh, then thank you Grandpa Tang, whether you can stay or not, we thank you for your help to us."

Lu Xuan couldn't say anything when he heard Tang Shiwei say this, so he could only take one step at a time.

"I'll go find a few elders first, tell the elders what you told me, and I'll call Xiao Zhe to call you later."

"Hmm. Then trouble Grandpa Tang. ”

"Out of the way, out of the way. That's all I can do to help you, and whether or not you can stay depends on the decision of the elders. ”
