Chapter 20: It doesn't matter who is the captain

It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that the little couple came back with a large amount of food collected by the household, all of which were dried noodles, rice, flour, vermicelli, salt and oil, etc., and the packaging was pitiful.

The man is 27 years old and his name is Li Bin. The 24-year-old woman is his girlfriend after the end of the world, named Liu Xuan. The two shook hands with their new partner and talked freely, and were very happy to have him join.

When it came to going back to the countryside to open up a base area, the small group immediately started chatting, each with its own suggestions. For example, find a town or village and build walls on all sides. Or find a hill to build a bunker out of trees and masonry, and dig a pit around it to divert water.

In any case, the base area in everyone's fantasy is equivalent to an ancient city that relies on mountains and rivers, where farming solves food problems and modern equipment such as generators can be used to enjoy electrified life.

When I think about it, I think that the project is huge, but if there are enough bulldozers, excavators and other mechanical equipment to assist, such a project is not difficult.

Salted fish still has dreams, and the thought of being able to eat fresh fish and vegetables in the future makes everyone obviously excited. And then moving on, it comes to the question of when to pull it out.

Chen Yu said: "I suggest that it is better to leave early, now there is food everywhere outside, and a lot of food is within the expiration date." At least before winter, we have to rush to the Huashan Nature Reserve in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. ”

"Xiaoyu is right, it's only early September, and the weather is just right."

"However, we managed to collect so much food." Liu Xuan was a little reluctant to say: "If we collect some more, it will be enough for us to survive the winter until the beginning of spring next year." ”

Sun Kai said broadly as an elder: "The more you eat this piece of food, the less you eat, and the same is true in other places, if we wait for the spring next year to leave, maybe the food along the way will be eaten up by others." When the time comes, it will be difficult to move an inch. And ......"

He suppressed his voice and said, "Did you hear the gunshots last night?" It's not far from us, and think about it, the guy with the gun will soon have to combine this piece of food and people. When the time comes, you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”

“……”

Chen Yu wiped his nose, thought about it for a few seconds, and felt that it would be better to tell them about the gun, which would also give everyone some motivation.

"Well, I fired that shot last night." He took out the pistol from his backpack, unloaded the magazine and showed it to the others, and said with a smile: "Last night, three people tried to rob me, and I shot and scared them, but I didn't kill anyone." ”

Guns are not very useful against hordes of zombies, they are mainly used against human enemies who are also flesh and blood, and they are not only lethal, but also have great deterrent power.

Compared with cold weapons, if anyone has a hot weapon such as a gun, he can dominate this area. Even if a normal person is in the bunker again, he will have to be a little scared when he sees the muzzle of the black hole.

The youngest girl, Sun Jiahui, swallowed her saliva dryly, stammered and said curiously: "Brother Xiaoyu, can I touch it?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Chen Yu smiled and handed her the pistol with the magazine removed.

Then Sun Jiaqi, Sun Kai, Li Bin, and Liu Xuan also passed each other and played with each other, and they couldn't put it down, and their eyes were full of little stars. But they resisted their curiosity and didn't ask where they got their guns.

Chen Yu took back the gun, loaded the magazine skillfully, opened the safety machine on the bore, and then turned off the safety machine after retreating, and said: "The gun is used just in case, and it is not usually used." When we're out and about, it's mainly to deal with zombies, and this thing doesn't work. If you don't have any opinions, let's clean up for two days, make more dough and pancakes to eat on the road, and leave in two days. ”

"Okay, I'm fine."

"Then it's settled."

exposed the gun, even if Chen Yu was young, he invisibly grasped the right to speak in this small team. Besides, now that the safety is guaranteed, at least there is no fear of other survivors coming to grab things.

For the remaining two days, everyone didn't go out to hang around, used rice noodles as much as possible, made more dehydrated dry noodles and pots, and wrapped them in plastic wrap to extend the eating period.

Everyone then brought some salt, standing medicine, ropes, plastic tarpaulins, lighters, stainless steel lunch boxes, etc. in their backpacks, and the weight was almost the same.

Ten kilograms for men and about five kilograms for women, they set off south without affecting their movements.

After having a strong male labor around him, even if he brings a woman, his speed of action is not slower than that of a person before. Because the speed of clearing the zombies in the way has become faster, women can also be on guard, cook, search for supplies, and so on.

Sujing City is too big, even though Taolin District is located in the western suburbs, it still belongs to the outside of the Third Ring Road, with many survivors and more zombies.

Chen Yu took Li Bin and Sun Kai to stand on the back door wall of a hardware store and slash and slash, cut a batch of corpses with iron hooks, and then continued to go to the front door to seduce, from morning to night, and after overnight, he finally cut down all the zombies near the chain supermarket chain.

Everyone flocked to the small supermarket, aiming at those vacuum-packed foods, such as chicken feet, duck feet, chicken wings, chocolate braised eggs and dried tofu, and rushed back to the hardware store in large bags to close the roller shutter door.

"Haha, I'm rich." The supplies in the small supermarket are not too much for a dozen or so people, but they are distributed to a few people, which can at least solve the problem of food rations for ten days and half a month.

"Don't eat vacuum-packed food, store it." Chen Yu instructed: "Grind instant noodles and biscuits into powder and wrap them in plastic wrap, and wait for us to eat them in the mountains." Uncle Sun, you take them to get it, and Li Bin and I will go again and get some canned food back. ”

"Hey, I'll be on your guard."

Sun Kai opened the roller shutter door, looked left and right, and watched the two young men rush into the small supermarket again with empty backpacks, and in less than three minutes, the two came back with half a backpack.

"Okay, we can't take the rest of the things with us, so let's keep them for the others." Chen Yu laughed, opened a pack of cigarettes and divided them into a few cigarettes, and the three men swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog together.

After smoking, I was busy with the women, changing the food in the backpack, and some packaged food had to be used to remove the corners of the skin with scissors so that the backpack could hold more things.

This kind of life with his hands is what he wants, even if he is tired and hard, it is also bitter and sweet.

In the process of such a march, the three men armed with knives and axes were still very deterrent, and there were not many people who dared to "rob" them. If you meet other survivors along the way, everyone will take the initiative to have a friendly conversation.

Those who are willing to follow will go, and those who are unwilling will not be forced.

It can be found that many of the men who survived after the end of the world were polygamous, with men going out in search of food, and women staying at home to do some light work, living a life of sunrise and sunset.

There were very few people who were willing to follow Chen Yu to Nanhu Province, and they met five or six small groups, but only two men and three women and five new companions joined in, and the team expanded to eleven people.

When there are many people, we must unify the order, and we must choose a leader.

After being elected, Sun Kai, the oldest and most experienced in life, became the captain, and Chen Yu, who seemed to be the strongest in force, was elected vice captain.

For Chen Yu, as long as the team can help him return to Nanhu Province, it doesn't matter who is in charge.
