Chapter 36: The Human Heart

"Damn, it's finally on the highway!"

Looking at the asphalt pavement that was somewhat broken and had some weeds growing in front of him, Leng Hao couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He was tired of that jungle, and these creations of human civilization brought him some familiar feelings.

"Brother Hao, this highway is often passed by people from the slave catcher."

Different from Leng Hao's excitement, Song Xiaya and Jiang Mingrui both looked into the distance from time to time, scanning the messy road, and had a lot of worries.

"Hehe, haven't you ever thought about robbing the slave hunters?"

Leng Hao opened his mouth slightly, moved his tongue, and smiled proudly.

"Huh?"

Jiang Xiaoyu and the others were taken aback.

"Ahhhh We have guns now, and it's a good opportunity to start a faction! ”

Leng Hao wiped his hair and shook his head pretending to be dashing.

"Those slave catchers are not good people, and they are just using them to supplement our needs."

As the protagonist of a modern series, this is a great opportunity to perform.

With a hyper-realistic battle scene and a righteous standpoint, Leng Ho assures that this is definitely a good idea with a high popularity value.

Since he realized the benefits of crossing, Leng Hao can't wait to make some movement in this apocalyptic world, so that he can attract attention.

"But can we beat it?"

Song Xiaya muttered with some hesitation.

"There's a chance."

However, Jiang Mingrui and Zhang Ye glanced at each other and agreed with Leng Hao's proposal.

Those expeditions varied, some with a few people, some with hundreds.

However, most of the expeditions were not friendly to the rats in the jungle, and they had been annoyed with a lot before.

And now, with Leng Hao, people have won several battles, and their equipment has been greatly updated. This makes the ambition in the hearts of men a little burning.

"Let's not forget, our food is not infinite."

With Leng Hao's words, all discussions came to an end.

"We, can we follow you?"

At this time, Xu Rongrong on the side asked cautiously.

They had just received the payment for this labor, two inferior machetes, but the mother and son did not leave, but looked at Leng Hao expectantly.

"You two ......"

Looking at the mother and son with their eyes full of pleading, Leng Hao couldn't help but pause.

At the beginning, Song Xiaya proved her ability excellently, and Jiang Mingrui's brothers and sisters also performed well, in fact, the main reason was that Leng Hao had no one at that time.

And now, for this pair of mother and son with extremely weak combat effectiveness, Leng Hao is a little undecided.

Although the mother and son are not very capable in all aspects, they are also relatively trustworthy people after all, such as reconnaissance, sentry, and coolies.

Only now, after getting out of the jungle, the food has to be carefully calculated.

"Or take them in, it's pitiful."

Jiang Xiaoyu pouted and said with some sympathy.

"Don't talk nonsense, who is not pitiful in this world, can we take care of it?"

Jiang Mingrui slapped his sister hard.

This is not a trivial matter, Leng Hao thought about it for a while, and pulled a few people to the grass on the side of the road to prepare for a small meeting.

"What do you think?"

The team is obviously centered on Leng Hao, but Leng Hao also has to take into account the ideas of others.

"Actually, this mother and son are in a weak position, and we get along well, if you let them join, at least you don't have to worry about a sudden counterattack."

Song Xiaya analyzed with some seriousness.

"However, we are running out of food. If you keep adding people who don't help the team much, once the food is cut off, it will break out into a bigger disaster. ”

People's hearts are complex, and Leng Hao has a clear understanding of this.

Now that the mother and son are grateful to them, it doesn't mean that they will starve with Leng Hao when the food is cut off.

Even in this team, Leng Hao is most confident in Jiang Mingrui, the brother and sister who are not deeply involved in the world, followed by Song Xiaya, a lone ranger, and Zhang Ye, who has the most powerful combat power, is ranked last.

"Actually, the best way is to find more food ......"

Jiang Xiaoyu was glared at by her brother, "You're not talking nonsense, following Brother Hao to eat enough these days, do you really think that the last days are full of food?" ”

The girl suddenly squatted on the ground, drew circles and stopped talking. Eating snake meat in large chunks these days really makes the girl forget a little bit about the tragic past.

"Brother Hao, in fact, that young man is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he can do a lot of things."

Zhang Ye stroked the mountain knife in his hand and added.

"Lao Zhang, do you have a crush on that woman? Saying nice things to them all day long? ”

Leng Hao blinked and asked with some curiosity.

"Hey, hey, hey. No. ”

Zhang Ye immediately looked honest again, full of denial.

"Otherwise, I feel that it would be better for Leng Hao to do that way just now. Do we offer a price to hire them? ”

Actually, everyone has some tacit understanding.

This small team has just been formed, and everyone in the team has contributed to it, and they don't want the mother-son pair to share their results.

"Okay, that's it. It's a good time to observe them. ”

Xu Rongrong and the others had no room for bargaining at all, and the mother and son happily agreed to Song Xiaya's half a catty of food every day, well done, and other equipment reward schemes.

"Half a catty of food is enough?"

Leng Hao was a little dumbfounded and looked at Song Xiaya who came back with a smile.

"Half a pound of food is good. Ours is meat! ”

The woman blinked, with a look of arrogance.

"Yes, I heard that over there in the county, one pound of meat is exchanged for five pounds of nests!"

Except for Leng Hao, everyone else took it for granted.

"Damn, it seems that this last day is not as simple as I thought."

In fact, Xu Rongrong and Li Haoran were a little dissatisfied at first, and half a catty of food was definitely not enough for the two of them to eat.

However, the mother and son, who had just come out of the jungle, had no choice.

"Mom, you can eat more later, and I'll go find wild vegetables."

Li Haoran stared at Leng Hao in the distance with some unhappiness.

Hire, hire, anyway, he left with his mother when he got two backpacks and two sets of labor protection clothes, and these people are not good people!

But in the evening, when Jiang Xiaoyu jumped up and down and gave them a large piece of snake meat, the eyes of both mother and son widened.

"This is, this is for us?"

Xu Rongrong couldn't speak clearly, this woman who still had some charm couldn't believe the facts in front of her.

This is real meat, meat that has been shaved off the bones, not wild vegetables and insects that you can't eat at all.

"Yes, we don't have enough food right now, so we can only apologize."

"As long as you work hard, there will be other surprises."

The girl who enjoyed the surprised eyes of the mother and son was full of smiles.
