The old mansion of the Hua family is located at the intersection of Wuzao Port and Xigou Port, which is said to be a village, but in fact it is only a few small cement buildings and a tiled house, and there is a lot of farmland and woodland nearby. It's winter, and you can still see a little greenery in the fields.

Perhaps because of a heavy rain that had just fallen, there were no people in the fields. Zhang Kuifa and a few brothers in the previous team were smoking cigarettes in the cement building, and he glanced out the window, his face suddenly a little unhappy.

"Do these lazy bones think that food will fall from the sky on its own?" Zhang Kuifa suddenly scolded.

"Brother Fa, it's raining today, and the weather is ...... very cold," a man with a Chinese face next to him sniffed, wanting to say a few good words to those people in the camp.

"Ah Yong, it's because the weather is so cold that this person has to move," Zhang Kuifa and this man called Ah Yong have worked together in the team for several years, and his thoughts are also very clear, "There are hundreds of mouths waiting to eat and drink in the Hua family's old mansion, if they are all nested and do not move, then everyone can only drink the northwest wind." It's winter now, and the millet can't grow in the field, so I can barely grow some vegetables to make ends meet. We don't have much to eat, and the chickens and pigs can't be killed until the last minute, so now we can only look at the sky and see how much can be dug out of the field. ”

"Lao Qi has been out for a few days and hasn't come back, so I guess I'm explaining outside," Zhang Kuifa said and spit out a puff of cigarette, looking a little lonely. The seventh brother he said was Deng Wuqi, and he was also the brother who drove with him for several years.

"Old Seven......, alas," the man who was previously called Ah Yong was named Chen Guoyong, and he had a good relationship with Deng Wuqi, and he felt a little sad when he thought that this old brother died on the way out like his previous companions.

"In the final analysis, it was I who hurt Lao Qi," Zhang Kuifa pressed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and waited for the smoke in his lungs to come out of his nose before he said quietly, "Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for us to survive this winter, and I am afraid that many people will die in the tile house." On the one hand, there is a shortage of food, and on the other hand, the weather is making many people sick. If there is a choice, I will not say that I will let Lao Qi go to the warehouse over there in the industrial park to get some supplies and come back, the situation there is a bit dangerous, and Lao Qi really didn't come back. ”

"Let's go a few more people to be safe," said Chen Guoyong, whose personality is relatively straightforward and his brain is not as active as Zhang Kuifa and Deng Wuqi.

"Yes, Brother Fa," the others chimed in.

Zhang Kuifa shook his head, "There are just a few of us, if it weren't for the last resort, I would think there would be fewer people in the family." If everyone goes out, who will take care of the people on the other side of the tiled house, I am afraid that they will turn the sky upside down. If someone takes advantage of our absence, secretly robs the family's supplies, and then kills the chicken and pig, we will have nothing. ”

"They dare!" Lin Xuequan shouted, this man is also one of the members of the team, his temperament is relatively strong, since he followed Zhang Kuifa and others to gain a firm foothold here in the Hua family's old mansion, he has always regarded himself as the master, "Don't look at everyone, everyone has two arms and two legs, but as long as I stare at it, no one dares to meet my eyes." ”

"Brother Quan, people are afraid of the gun in your hand," Li Wenmin smiled, "Don't blame my brother, I'm talking straight." ”

A young man outside the door suddenly ran in in a hurry, and after he saw Zhang Kuifa and the others in the house, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Fa, two people died on the side of the tile house today." ”

"What caused him?" When Zhang Kuifa heard the news, he suddenly stood up, his eyes staring at Deng Zeng, who rushed over to report the news. I was worried that the winter weather would have a bad impact on the survivors of the Hua family's old mansion, but I didn't expect the news to come so much.

"It may be the flu, many people have a cold, and a few seem to have a fever," Deng Zeng was passing by the tile house just now, and saw several men carrying two corpses and throwing them out, he walked over to inquire about the situation, and immediately came back to report to Zhang Kuifa.

Deng Zeng has been very worried about his uncle Deng Wuqi not returning from going out these days, and some people have vaguely told him that Deng Wuqi is likely not to come back. These days, in addition to helping Zhang Kuifa guard the chickens and pigs in the camp, he will go to the cement bridge next to the river port from time to time to take a look.

The old house of the Hua family and the nearby fields are surrounded by two river ports, and the road leading to the outside here is only two cement bridges in the north and south. The bridge on the north side was sealed because it was adjacent to the central village of Chuqing in Kangqiao Town, because the houses there were very dense, and there were many zombies, and the hidden danger was very large.

The bridge to the south is where Deng Zeng frequented, and this bridge connects the path to the Hulu Expressway, which is also the only way for Deng Wuqi to return to the camp. He would often stay here these days, hoping that his uncle would return safely.

"The flu!" The people in the house were all shocked when they heard the news that Deng Zeng brought back, the medicine in their hands was extremely scarce now, if it was just one or two ordinary colds, it would not be a big problem, but if it was a flu, then the camp would be dangerous.

The survivors who lack food and clothing are generally thin and weak, and their physical resistance is also very poor, and there are many elderly and weak women and children on the side of the tiled house, who are likely to become the key targets of the disease.

The depopulation of the camp may ease the pressure on food, but if it is the result of a contagious disease, it will have to be taken seriously, because as the number of sick and dead people continues to grow, those in fear and worry are likely to break the jar and bring the camp to ruin.

"You go and appease them first, and then say that we will go and find the medicine and come back, and let them wait for two more days." Zhang Kuifa couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while, so he had to tell Deng Zeng to go back and stabilize the emotions of those people.

After Deng Zeng went out, the people in the house began to rack their brains to think of a way.

A handsome young woman came into the room with a bowl containing several boiled eggs, and she distributed them among the men in the room, while she stood by with her eyes on the side.

Zhang Kuifa peeled off the egg in his hand, broke the egg white, took out the egg yolk inside and handed it to the young woman, the young woman took the egg yolk with a happy face, took a few bites in her hand and ate it into her stomach.

Zhang Kuifa smiled, squeezed her ass with his big hand, and then sent her out.

"Brother Fa, what about one more egg, this is the seventh child's, do you want to take it for Ah Zeng," Chen Guoyong saw that there was an extra egg in front of Zhang Kuifa, so he asked him.

"The seventh is the seventh, and Ah Zeng is the Ah Zeng, not a match." Zhang Kuifa didn't think about it, so he picked up the egg and peeled it, and then divided it evenly into several portions and gave them to the other brothers present one by one, "Let's divide it and help Lao Qi eat it." ”

Deng Zeng returned to the tiled house, looking at the dilapidated tiled house with some worry. The tiled house is only about 50 meters away from the small cement building where Zhang Kuifa and his family live, and there is a vegetable field between the two, and most of the survivors in the camp live in this tiled house, and only Zhang Kuifa and his group are qualified to live in the cement building.

When the disaster broke out, Zhang Kuifa's logistics convoy was on the Hulu Expressway. At that time, he realized that something was wrong. After Zhang Kuifa took the rest of the brothers off the highway, he followed the path to the old mansion of the Hua family.

At that time, there were already the first survivors who had just gathered here, and most of them were villagers living nearby. In the days that followed, fireworks lit up in the camp, and many people fled one after another.

There were more than a dozen people who gathered here at the earliest, and among them, Hua Jianping, a native of the old mansion of the Hua family, led by Hua Jianping, everyone formed a small gang together, and they had some say among the survivors.

After Zhang Kuifa's convoy came here, it began to form a confrontation with this gang. Zhang Kuifa is a person who often runs in society, he first came here to see some clues, the convoy survived few people, he was worried that Hua Jianping and his group would take the opportunity to encroach on their convoy materials, so he took the initiative to use these materials to envelop other survivors.

Zhang Kuifa's hand immediately won the trust of many survivors, and Hua Jianping and his gang saw that Zhang Kuifa's power had quietly risen, so they began to use the curve to save the country, they took the initiative to launch a campaign in the camp, the purpose was to help Hua Jianping become the manager of the Hua family's old mansion through the election, and they could use this to ask Zhang Kuifa and others to hand over the materials under their control.

Zhang Kuifa's social experience is very sophisticated, and he is not at all comparable to those villagers who lack vision, he quickly figured out the plan of Hua Jianping and his gang, so he immediately saw the move and changed from passive to active.

Hua Jianping relied on the fact that the number of people on his side was larger than Zhang Kuifa's team, and they thought that as long as they used the election method, they would be able to win the game, but their ideas were very naïve in Zhang Kuifa's eyes.

Under the apocalyptic disaster, the most important thing is people. And if people want to live, they can't do without the food and other materials they need for life. Hua Jianping didn't have much of these things, but Zhang Kuifa did, and he used the supplies on the truck to buy many survivors in the camp, and even a few people in Hua Jianping's gang.

When the results of the election vote came out, Hua Jianping was defeated by a big disadvantage, and although Zhang Kuifa paid the price of some materials, he at least got the management of the camp on the surface.

At that time, Zhang Kuifa's managers were a little nominal, because the number of his core members was small, and although Hua Jianping and his gang lost the election, these people did not accept Zhang Kuifa's management, but took the opportunity to stir up trouble several times.

Zhang Kuifa didn't want to have a head-on conflict with them, because there were few people, and it was easy to suffer losses when there was a conflict, and if it was not good, it would reveal flaws and be seized by the other party to turn the tables.

Zhang Kuifa chose to forbear most of the time, but he did not give an inch when it came to the ownership of materials, and he also began to observe the other survivors in private, and selected some of his favorite people from among them to expand the size of the team.
