Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mountain Town

Under the dim foggy sky, the east side of the Ho Shu barrier range.

At this time, there were countless wooden houses built on the side of the barrier, surrounded by mountains and stairs.

The wooden houses, large and small, were covered with a thick layer of snow, and there was also snow at various intersections.

In the midst of a strong snowstorm, many women were shuttling back and forth in the town.

Many people looked at the countless greenery within the transparent barrier on the side of their mountain town, and their eyes were full of longing and hope.

However, all they could do was to look at Mei to quench their thirst.

Under the strong wind, the weather is minus 40 degrees, and countless people in thick cotton clothes are cleaning the town with various snow removal tools, and at the same time, countless white mist are exhaled.

In this cruel environment, these nearly 5,000 people can only rely on their own hands to keep working hard if they want to survive.

The children didn't know what the cruel weather meant, but instead dressed like balls and gathered together to play snowballs with each other.

Under the dim sky, the sound of children playing and laughing makes this small town surrounded by mountains full of life.

But children are ignorant, but adults are not.

Around this small town around the mountains, many young people are selling their strength to polish the stones and carry them back and forth and build on the south side.

Thousands of people are busy and doing the final stonewall work of the town.

This is the last section of the stone wall, and only about the last fifty meters remain.

The safety of the town depends on the stone walls to provide some solace, and at the current pace it should be completed in the last few days.

Dozens of people died in the campaign, and many of their hands and feet were frostbitten and swollen.

But at this time, not a single person here has resentment, and in order to survive, these people can endure anything in this cruel period.

Of course, in this construction, the psionic awakeners also contributed one after another, but instead did the heaviest and most tiring work.

Many of the Psionic Awakened carried huge rocks on their shoulders, laughing, and doing these things with ordinary people without complaint.

In this town, there are nearly three hundred psionic awakens, most of whom are people from Huo Liguo's own psionic group, and of course, many of them are people who were collected when they retreated to Shu City halfway.

Of course, there are nearly 600 soldiers in this town, and these soldiers are the remnants of Li Weiguang's Penghu County Reinforcement Regiment soldiers.

Here, the atmosphere is in full swing, and at the same time it seems so cohesive and peaceful.

During the break, Huo Liguo sat on the stone wall panting and wearing clothes that were not too thick, while the sky was dancing in the thick snow outside the small mountain town.

"The Road to Infinite Heaven is probably at this time, right?"

"Perhaps." Li Weiguang on the side smiled, and at the same time followed Huo Liguo's gaze to look out of the mountain and sighed: "I don't know how many more years we need to see such a scene, and it is really difficult to say how many people will survive by then." ”

Huo Liguo smiled when he heard this: "But people always have to have hope in life, don't they?" ”

"That's exactly what I said."

There is a sense of bitterness and joy in the laughter of the two, but there is really hope for people to live.

And, just as the two were resting, in the wind and snow, dozens of mutant birds suddenly flew out of the mountains within the barrier.

"Huh~."

Countless birdsongs attracted a lot of people, and many people raised their heads unconsciously.

However, most of them were not afraid of these mutant birds, large and small, and instead smiled.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

A woman muttered involuntarily.

The existence of He Shu has long been no secret in this small mountain village, and many women and elderly people prefer to call He Shu, the king of trees, out of gratitude.

In the sky, these mutant birds have sacks under their paws.

Don't think about it, these sacks must be filled with food, after all, this is not the first time.

Hearing the bird's call, Huo Liguo and Li Weiguang on the stone wall raised their heads one after another.

"Here, this Jiang boy is now sticking with Gu Xueqiao every day, it seems that there is a play."

When he looked up, he faintly saw Jiang Qingshan, Gu Xueqiao, and Du Xiaotong on the backs of the three red birds, and Huo Liguo couldn't help but tease.

"Why can't it be Du Xiaotong? I think that girl is also very good, not to mention that she is young, she looks more beautiful than that Gu Xueqiao. Li Weiguang said with a retorting smile.

"Du Xiaotong?" Huo Liguo shook his head.

"This female college student doesn't necessarily look down on Jiang Xiaozi, I think Du Xiaotong seems to be a little interesting to that person named Fu Chunhai."

"Oh?"

Li Weiguang thought about the several times he had met the four of them before.

Fu Chunhai, Li Weiguang, can't tell what it feels like, but this person is thoughtful and definitely not a small person.

And faintly, they could also see that Fu Chunhai's status on the side of the Tree King was definitely not low, and such a person would definitely not be comparable to those of them who were reluctant to make a living in the future.

As for Du Xiaotong, Li Weiguang felt that this girl was a little cold, rarely spoke, and seemed to be supervising the behavior of Jiang Qingshan and others.

From this point of view, this Fu Chunhai and Du Xiaotong are quite centered on the tree king.

But think about it, after all, I heard that many of Du Xiaotong's classmates, teachers and parents were accepted by the tree king, and it is not unreasonable that she has that kind of psychology of repaying her kindness.

Thinking of the fact that the Tree King accepted his own people, Li Weiguang couldn't say anything for a while.

Now there is no country or government for a long time, and since the battle for power in Shu City three months ago, he is no longer the former federal colonel, he is now only the deputy mayor of this mountain town.

His first mission now is to protect the safety of the people of this mountain town, so he has already seen a lot of problems that he couldn't see before.

What is different and not different, compared to humans, Li Weiguang feels that these aliens are better than his own humans.

If it weren't for the other party's kindness and unreciprocated giving a certain degree of protection; If it weren't for the fact that the other side had taken out a little so-called 'holy water' to save a lot of people in the mountain town who had been exposed to nuclear radiation, or if it hadn't been for the other party's help in repelling those troops last time, at least half of the population of this mountain town would have been removed by now.

And the people of this mountain town are grateful to He Shu for this, and it is not incomprehensible to even deify He Shu.

For this situation, Huo Liguo and Li Weiguang have already seen it, so they have not stopped it.

The so-called 'holy water' is actually the lake water diluted by He Shu's spiritual liquid in the circular lake, although the amount of spiritual liquid in these lakes is very diluted, but for ordinary people, it is also worthy of precious holy water.

Many of the previous decaying humans in this mountain town were healed by this lake, otherwise how could they have survived the favor of death.

In the sky, the mutant bird was unaffected by the wind and snow, and began to slash towards the mountain town.
