In winter, some of the grass has withered and yellow, while others are still green, and the rye grass here grows well. Ryegrass is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant of the Poaceae family, this forage grass is one of the high-efficiency forage grasses introduced from the rice country, with wide adaptability, heat and cold resistance, fast growth, and can be harvested four to six times a year.

Most of the ryegrass in the fields could not be harvested in time due to the lack of manpower, and they were about half a meter tall and densely covered with large fields of grass. When the wind caresses by, the leaves of the wheat grass rise again and again like blue waves.

The grass in the fields grows tall, but it does not hide any danger in winter, snakes are hibernating, and other animals cannot hide in it.

Chen Bin and others patrolled the neighborhood to a vacant factory that had been a fertilizer company before the disaster. Nowadays, the factory is used to stack hay, and when everyone came to the door, a smell of green hay came to their nostrils.

The hay in the factory was piled up like a hill, and Chen Bin checked it inside, but found nothing unusual. The three of them came out of the factory and, at Da Fei's suggestion, went to the vicinity of the embankment where they had previously found the strangers.

The bottom of the embankment is a large tidal flat, and when the water recedes, the soil freezes slightly hard in the cold winter wind, and it doesn't matter if you step on it, but once the car drives inside, there is a high chance that the wheels will sink in. Everyone returned to the embankment, and on the opposite side was the railing of the defensive line, and the previous men climbed over the railing, and then the figure disappeared into the depression in the distance.

From time to time, the figures of zombies could be seen wandering in the distance, Chen Ting frowned and said, "Are these people dying?" How good it is to stay in the safe area of Chongming, you have to go to the zombie pile to find death. ”

"As long as there are enough benefits, some people can die," Da Fei held the gun in his hand and reminded his companions, "These people should be 'gold diggers', and those who do this kind of thing are no different from outlaws, so let's be careful." ”

Chen Bin and Chen Ting nodded, and the three of them walked along the embankment for a while, focusing their attention on the danger zone on the outside of the defensive line.

Chen Bin suddenly remembered a piece of information mentioned by the soldiers who came out of the sentry post before, "Do you remember that captain said that there were suddenly more zombies near Jinxiu Village in the past two days?" It is said that the number has increased several times at once. ”

"How?" Da Fei asked.

"I wonder if this change will have something to do with the people we're seeing today?" Chen Bin touched his chin, "Human activities will attract nearby zombies, those people run towards the danger zone, we don't know their motives for the time being, but I'm worried that the zombies' abnormal movements are caused by them." ”

"If the zombies are all coming towards the defense line, this iron net can't stop them ......," Chen Ting was a little worried.

"Not usually," Da Fei comforted her, "This area was screened by the army when the defense line was first established, so it shouldn't be able to form a corpse herd." And there is a sentry every other distance on the defensive line, and there are sentry watches, and even if there is danger, it will be strangled in the cradle. ”

"Having said that, you still can't be careless," Chen Bin's heart remembered the fire in the Jiafu supermarket at the beginning, if anything could have been expected in advance, then there would not be so many disasters.

The three of them turned around the embankment and found nothing, because they could not enter the danger zone to investigate, so Chen Bin was not surprised by this result at all. On the way back to the farm, the figure of the strangers hiding in the danger zone haunted him and made him very uneasy.

"Wait for Xingyu's news and see what Leader Xu arranges," Chen Bin said his plan. Everyone returned to the farm and began to wait for the return of their companions who had gone to Dongtan to report the news.

When Qiao Xingyu returned to the farm, it was already a few hours later, and he brought some weapons and supplies from the Dongtan Armed Forces, along with Xu Yueming's latest instructions.

"Leader Xu asked us to keep someone here to help guard the farm? That's right, I think so too," Chen Bin nodded after listening to the news brought by Qiao Xingyu, "But in this way, the task of our Dongtan team will be heavier." ”

"Yes," Qiao Xingyu sighed, "Now I have to keep people to guard here, and I have to arrange people to continue patrolling Dongtan, alas, ......, damn, I really can't wait to have a doppelganger technique." ”

"Changxing Island's strategy plan has been launched, this is the biggest thing in the entire Chongming District at the moment, so it's normal for other things to make way for it, let's be a little bitter, but think about the benefits, grit your teeth and survive this period of time, and after Changxing Island is completely controlled, there will be two completely safe islands in Chongming District, and the people here can live a little better." Chen Bin said, "After Changxing, the next one will be our Chongming Island." ”

Everyone was talking about things, and Changchang Liao asked Chen Bin to call them over for dinner, and Qiao Xingyu came just in time to catch up, so he was also stayed.

The food on the dairy farm is not bad, but there is less seafood than in Dongtan, and everyone is happy to eat some green vegetables here.

Liao Jianghong learned of the arrangement of Dongtan and thanked Chen Bin and others again and again, he has been working here for a few months, and has not noticed that there will be some "dangerous elements" under his nose, Chen Bin said that he was still a little panicked when he stayed to help him on duty, worried that these Dongtan soldiers were just symbolically staying here for a while, but fortunately, Xu Yueming's order came down, which also made the Liao field chief breathe a sigh of relief.

After eating, Qiao Xingyu returned to Dongtan to continue patrolling with the monkeys, while Chen Bin and the others stayed at the farm to ensure the safety of the farm according to Xu Yueming's instructions.

"Leader Xu asked the people of our team to take turns to guard here in the past few days, and the patrol work here in Dongtan ......," Da Fei sighed bitterly, "The pressure is great." ”

"The matter of adding people to the team is imminent," Chen Bin nodded, "Fortunately, the two people recommended by Brother Jiu should be able to come in the next few days." ”

Before dark, Chen Bin and others were helping Liao Jianghong arrange the defense of the farm, and since an abnormal situation had been discovered here, the corresponding safety preparations must be prepared immediately.

Chen Bin suggested that Liao Jianghong also arrange for workers on the farm to assist in the vigil, and also pay attention to fire prevention around the pasture. Liao Jianghong agreed to all of his suggestions, and immediately arranged for employees to work on these things.

At night, Chen Bin, Da Fei and Chen Ting patrolled the perimeter every two hours, and in the direction of the security zone defense line, Chen Bin even extended the patrol distance to the embankment. The cold wind made everyone's faces ache and hurt, and Chen Bin's eyelids kept jumping.

Although the cold of winter nights is a bit uncomfortable for patrolmen, it is not necessarily all bad, at least during this season when snakes are hibernating, and there are no bugs in the fields. Chen Bin and the others were not worried about any danger hidden in the grass more than half a meter high beside them, and everyone focused their attention on the direction of the defensive line.

It was the place where those people hid in the daytime, although Chen Bin did not have conclusive evidence to verify the true identities of these people, but the three of them had already been deliberating for eight or nine. There is a high probability that these people are "gold diggers", and although they generally do not destroy people and buildings in the security zone, they are constantly entering and exiting both sides of the defense line, and the potential hidden dangers caused should not be underestimated.

The zombie incident in Lixin Village is a stark example, where the "gold diggers" who were injured in the danger zone fled back and spread the virus, which directly caused panic among the people in most areas of Dongtan and the production work was suspended for a time. Fortunately, Chongming responded appropriately and dispatched hundreds of soldiers to Lixin Village in time to bring the situation under control.

Recently, there has been a change in the zombies in the area near the defense line, which is a rare thing in the past six months, in addition to the officers and soldiers in the sentry, Chen Bin also attaches great importance to it. However, he is humble and can only do what he can do.

Before the early hours of the morning, there was nothing to do, and after the early hours of the morning, Chen Bin asked everyone to take turns patrolling in pairs, and the remaining one could be replaced to rest. The reason why two people are left to patrol is that they are worried that if one person patrols, they may not even have the opportunity to warn if they encounter danger, so everyone works in two-hour shifts, and each shift patrols are replaced by one person to rest, so as to replenish physical strength.

The patrol in the second half of the night was even harder than before, Liao Hongbo arranged for someone to bring hot milk and some food to everyone, and after eating, Chen Bin and the others were much more comfortable.

The first shift was Chen Bin and Da Fei, and the time also started at more than twelve o'clock, Chen Ting took advantage of this time to go to the room arranged by Liao Jianghong before everyone to rest, and waited for the second shift to replace Da Fei.

"Brother, Miss Chen Ting seems to be ...... to you," In the winter night, Da Fei shrank his neck, so that the wind pouring into his neckline was a little lighter, he was a little speechless, and his eyes also looked at Chen Bin.

"I hope it's just a misunderstanding," Chen Bin said, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he wanted to deny Da Fei's judgment on his mouth, the signs he had already noticed in his heart could not deceive himself.

Chen Ting had a good impression of herself, which was not very obvious before she came to Chongming, but after everyone joined the army together, Chen Bin gradually found some signs. Chen Ting hid her feelings very well, but everyone could see some clues after being together for a long time, and today Da Fei suddenly asked when no one was around, just to see what Chen Bin was planning to do.

"I'm not the only one who can see this," Da Fei said. He is very conflicted in his heart, as Chen Cailing's boyfriend, Chen Ting is a sister-in-law to him. Da Fei not only hopes to become a brother-in-law with his good brother, but also doesn't want Chen Bin to live up to Ah Cai. As one of the trio who escaped from the Magnolia Xiangyuan together, Da Fei also took good care of Ah Cai, and always regarded her as a sister in his heart, so when he encountered such a choice, he unconsciously worried about Chen Bin.
