"You have to be careful for the road ahead! There was a sewer exit that had been breached by zombies, and it took a lot of effort to block the other two connected entrances and exits, but there was no guarantee that there would be any missing zombies wandering around. The captain drew the machete he had with him and began to look on the alert.

Uncle Kun was obviously a survival veteran, and Wang Qiang saw him holding a miner's lamp in one hand and a machete in the other, leaning forward against the wall of the sewer.

Suddenly, Uncle Kun was pulled hard, and the whole person fell to the ground!

"Damn, who the fuck is full......"

Before Uncle Kun finished scolding, a black shadow came from the shadows on the side, if it weren't for Uncle Kun falling, he was afraid that he would be bitten by the zombies that rushed out.

Uncle Kun was pulled down, so the zombie pounced, but this was enough to frighten Uncle Kun to exclaim.

After playing all his life, the eagle was pecked blind by a chicken, and Uncle Kun felt cold in his heart.

A fist appeared in Uncle Kun's sight, and the fist went straight and hit the zombie's head, and the roaring zombie's head appeared deformed to a certain extent, and then fell to the ground with a buzz.

It was Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang pulled down Uncle Kun at a critical moment, and killed the zombie with one punch.

"Be careful next time." Wang Qiang pulled up Uncle Kun.

"Thank you...... Thank. Uncle Kun held Wang Qiang's hand with difficulty.

The large group walked through the sewers and traveled another two kilometers, and along the way saw several corpses that had been dead for a long time, and it was impossible to distinguish whether they were zombies or people, but in the cold season, there was a faint stench.

Finally, before coming to the cul-de-sac of a sewer passage, Uncle Kun announces that his destination has arrived.

There was a knock on the wall of the cul-de-sac, and there was a metallic sound on the wall.

It turns out that this wall is camouflaged with metal, which seems to be integrated, and people who don't know the truth will selectively ignore it when they pass by.

Sure enough, it was a good disguise, Wang Qiang couldn't help but marvel.

Bang bang bang!

Uncle Kun knocked on the iron door.

A small crack opened in the metal door, and a pair of small eyes kept looking outside.

"Open the door, Ergou." Uncle Kun shouted unceremoniously.

"Ah, Uncle Kun, good lat, open the door immediately!" A childish voice came from joy, presumably the second dog.

The iron door was opened, and a stunned half-grown man stood in the doorway, wiping his nose.

Uncle Kun touched the child's head and asked, "Dog, where is your father, why are you here alone?" ”

The dog replied, "My father is, and I will help him guard it." ”

Uncle Kun scolded: "Aren't you supposed to be in the academy? Good boy skipping class again, go back to the school quickly, don't let the blind uncle worry about it. ”

Uncle Kun ordered one of the survivors to guard the door, and then asked another of his men to go back to the school with the dog's egg.

Uncle Kun and Uncle Da, as introducers, took Wang Qiang and his party into the interior of the settlement.

Regardless of their previous suspicions, the survivors first arranged for Chen Haonan and Mu Erkang to carry the wounded soldiers to treatment, and by the way, they also healed their own people.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to settle the manpower, Wang Qiang wandered around.

This is a renovated underground living space, and after entering through the gate, it is a large open area of more than 500 square meters. Wang Qiang stood in the open space and kept looking around. In the clearing, more than a dozen dilapidated tents were set up, and some dirty bedding and old cotton wool were piled up nearby, and a dark channel passed through the clearing.

"It's a public space, and it's accessible to the whole settlement." Uncle Kun opened his mouth to introduce.

Wang Qiang looked around and found that there were at least dozens of people sitting or lying in the space, but most of them were skinny and malnourished, which showed the difference in life here. But what makes me feel incredible is that these people seem to be in a good state of mind.

In the corner, a thin man in his thirties, draped in a tattered quilt, was gathered next to a burnt campfire, holding a thick book in his hand, reading with relish.

Wang Qiang read martial arts books and thought he was also a reader, so he snatched the book from the thin man's hand and looked at the cover.

On the cover is printed with two large lacquered gold characters: Jane Eyre. The author is a man named Charlotte. Brontë's foreigner.

Brother Qiang's face was bewildered, and he returned the book to the thin man in embarrassment, and gave a thumbs up by the way, while the thin man smiled very reservedly.

Walking past the thin man, next to a small brazier, two old men were playing a game of chess.

Wang Qiang remembered that he had learned chess with Lao Zhao when he was in the city, and he had wasted his chess skills over the years.

But seeing the two old men like flying horses and killing you and me in the dark, with Wang Qiang's ability to play chess baskets, he seems to understand whether he understands or not, and whenever he thinks about it, Brother Qiang is stunned and does not dare to make a move.

No, when the battle was in full swing, an old man pondered, and he didn't make another move for a long time, and the old man on the other side was also annoyed.

"What's the matter, Lao Li, come out, I'll be here without a drop of sleep!" The old man shouted, a mouth of rotten teeth leaking out.

Lao Li raised his head at this time and said, "I don't care about your sleeping horse, I'm hungry and want to eat." ”

The other old man also touched his shriveled belly and replied, "I'm hungry too, I haven't eaten." Don't play two games anymore, play chess time quickly and stay hungry. ”

Lao Li sighed, twisted the cannon in his hand and blocked the opponent's horse's feet.

When Wang Qiang heard the conversation between the two, he felt a little sad in his heart, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he threw down two military biscuits casually, and continued to walk forward under the surprised eyes of the two old men.

Walking further, Wang Qiang heard the sound of reading a book.

Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

Yuanfang invaded the ancient road, and the clear green connected the deserted city.

……

Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown.

……

Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan ...... Don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain.

Wang Qiang followed the sound of reading and found the children who were reciting.

This is a classroom carved out along the sewer wall, and there are more than a dozen children, both boys and girls, who are staring at the paper copybook in their hands and reading aloud, but when they see Wang Qiang's appearance, a pair of large and small smart eyes are secretly aimed at themselves.

Wang Qiang smiled faintly, although this settlement is poor, but the spirit is rich, he is in the south, and he has never seen such a strong style of study, these children may be the hope of the future.

On the humble podium of the classroom, a thin old man with blindfolded eyes sat up, looking to his side.

Although the old man was blindfolded, Wang Qiang could feel that the old man seemed to be able to see himself.

"Ahem, kids, seriously! Do things with one heart and one mind, and don't let external affairs affect your concentration! Again, let's read it again! The old man said sternly to the children in the audience.

Wang Qiang shrunk his neck, knowing that he had affected them, so he turned around and left the classroom.

……

At dinner time, Wang Qiang and his party were invited to a separate banquet in the settlement, and Wang Qiang saw the blindfolded old man again at the dinner table.

The situation in the settlement was very bad, the food was served on the table, Wang Qiang swept it, and it was a big pot of gruel. The porridge is made with wild mushrooms, coarse grain residues and weeds, and it is unknown whether it tastes good or not, but it is impossible to eat full, and at most you can only eat half full.

However, even if the food is so poor, looking at the exaggerated movements of the children sitting at the table swallowing saliva, Wang Qiang can guess that I am afraid that they will not be able to eat such food often.

The food is divided into meals, everyone is treated equally, everyone has half a bowl, there is no special, and it is very fair. After giving everyone a bowl, there was still some leftover food at the bottom of the pot, and Uncle Kun brought the leftover food to Wang Qiang and others under the instruction of the blind old man.

"It's a guest from afar, and we don't have anything to entertain here, so please understand. Ahem, it's hard to find food now, we really can't bring food to entertain you, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed. ”

The blind old man was ashamed three times in a row, and his expression was very sad, not like he was half-fake.

Poor to this point, he still doesn't forget the way of hospitality, Wang Qiang was indescribably moved in his heart, not only himself, but every soldier showed sadness, even Chen Haonan, who had always been heartless, had a bitter face.

Wang Qiang was silent, no wonder the people here are so thin, it is difficult for everyone to eat enough every day.

"How so? Is it so difficult to get food? Wang Qiang asked.

If you weren't trapped in the base by zombies, you would definitely not be starving, there are not many zombies in the north, is it difficult to even survive?

Uncle Kun sighed and said, "There are quite a few people in our settlement, but most of them are old people and children, there is no labor, and it is difficult to maintain the food obtained, and besides, they have to be exploited......

Before Uncle Kun finished speaking, the old man interrupted him: "Ah Kun, if there are guests, don't say that." ”

Then, under the auspices of the old man, the survivors of the settlement folded their hands and opened their mouths to read: "Thank God for giving us such abundant preparations in life, and pray that this food will strengthen our body and mind, so that we can be full of body and mind." Let us receive the grace of Heaven with thanksgiving. ”

After praying, the survivors raised their heads and looked at the blindfolded old man, as if waiting for something.

The old man raised his hand and fumbled with his chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and gently ate the first bite of food.

It was only then that the survivors let go of their hands and feet and enjoyed the food on their plates.

Wang Qiang gently took a sip of the mushroom soup in the bowl, and the faint earthy smell rushed into his mouth, which was quite difficult to swallow. Wang Qiang raised his head and looked around, everyone was concentrating on enjoying the food in the bowl, and the fast-moving children had already begun to lick* the bowl.

Wang Qiang sighed in his heart, ate a small half bowl of mushroom soup, and then put down the bowl and stopped eating, Brother Qiang can swallow live pigs alive, but this bowl of mushroom soup is really uneaten.

Putting down the bowl in his hand and looking at his group again, Wang Qiang found that everyone looked at him with the expression of a warrior, as if he had eaten half a bowl of Rexiang just now......

"Why don't you move your chopsticks, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite." Uncle Kun licked the bowl and persuaded.

Wang Qiang sighed and asked, "That's all you eat?" ”

Many of the survivors raised their heads and looked at Wang Qiang with the same eyes as aliens. A little child replied in a milky voice, "No, we don't usually eat these." ”

The survivors looked nervous, but listened to the child continue: "Only when the guests come to the house, we can eat such a good thing!" ”

Wang Qiang was speechless, the life of these survivors was too hard.

It's a pity that Wang Qiang didn't bring much food with him on this trip, otherwise, according to Wang Qiang's character, he would definitely take it out and distribute it to everyone.

While they were eating, another group of uninvited guests came to the settlement.

The person who came was wearing a shabby combat uniform, and it looked like a winter coat that only the armed police had in the old republic.

As soon as these smug men arrived at the settlement, they unceremoniously picked up the remaining food on the table and ate it in large gulps, without the slightest concern for the fearful and hateful eyes of the survivors.

"Okay, old blind man, Kun Wazi, you guys have a good meal here!" The first person sneered while eating the mushroom soup in the bowl.

This man was born with a fierce look, a sarcoma on his forehead, and he looked disgusting when he spoke and frowned.

Uncle Kun heard the sarcoma man's question, and hurriedly confessed: "Where, where, no, there are guests in the settlement." ”

The sarcoma man set his eyes on Wang Qiang, but saw Wang Qiang with a big beard and black eyebrows, and his squinted eyes overflowed with murderous aura, as if he was not easy to mess with.

The sarcoma man was not sure where Wang Qiang came from, and he didn't make a provocative speech, but asked in a harmonious voice: "Where did this brother come from?" ”

Brother Qiang raised his eyes and glanced at the sarcoma man, not to speak, for this kind of ruffian, Wang Qiang has lost interest in taking care of it. On the other hand, Song Yi faintly aimed the muzzle of the rifle full of bullets in his hand at the sarcoma man.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and the blind old man made a round and said, "They are relatives of the old man, and they come from the north to walk around." ”

The sarcoma man's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it from the Kyoto settlement?" ”

The old man is silent, but there is a look on his face that you guessed correctly.

The sarcoma man put down the bowl, his expression softened, and he said dryly: "Ouch, blind old man, you have this relationship, why didn't you say it earlier, fortunately the brothers didn't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise it would be troublesome." ”

The blind old man and Uncle Kun laughed hehe, only Brother Qiang's own second monk was confused, and he couldn't understand which one of the songs was sung at all.

"Since you have guests, I won't bother, that, Zhao Kun, give us the share that should be handed over this month, and we have to rush back to pay the errand." The sarcoma man said.

The blind old man nodded, Zhao Kun stood up, and came to the big iron box behind the dining table, Zhao Kun took out a key, and the blind old man took out a key, opened the box together, took out a tattered woven bag from it, and then handed it to the sarcoma man.

While the sarcoma man was inspecting the goods, Wang Qiang glanced at it and saw that the pockets were filled with some fungi and plants that grew in the shade.

"Is there only that?" The sarcoma man weighed the weight in his hand.

"Brother, it's hard for me to make a difference." The sarcoma man frowned and said, flicking the tumor on his forehead.

Uncle Kun said in a low voice: "Big brother, this month's harvest is really only these, we still have to live, don't we?" If you starve to death, you will no longer be able to honor your lord. You have a lot of them, so help us take care of them a little, and go back and ask the lord for a favor! ”

As he spoke, Uncle Kun quietly stuffed something into the sarcoma man's hand.

The sarcoma man understood, accepted Uncle Kun's filial piety, and then said: "Okay, I'll reluctantly make it difficult, go back and help you ask the lord for mercy, but next month can't be less." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Uncle Kun assured.

The sarcoma man glanced at Wang Qiang one last time, and then teased Li Qin, and then left with his pocket satisfied.

After this commotion, everyone had no intention of eating, and the meal ended hastily, Wang Qiang and the blind old man talked about serious things.

First of all, the blind old man actually thanked himself, Wang Qiang was at a loss, and then the old man said that it turned out that he had just used himself to scare and scare the sarcoma man, because the Hebei settlement and the Kyoto settlement have not dealt well recently. Some time ago, the Hebei settlement suffered a great defeat, and ordinary people survived and feared the extremely vicious Kyoto settlement.

So the blind old man pretended to be from the Kyoto settlement, Wang Qiang stroked his beard and thought, it was a little interesting.

Then, the blind old man actually apologized to himself again, and this time, the blind old man thanked the limbs of the mutated zombie he killed. Although the limbs of the zombies are useless to themselves, they are of great significance to this settlement, and they have been gifted by Wang Qiang, but the settlement cannot come up with more things to express their gratitude, and the old man feels guilty.

After listening to the old man's words, Wang Qiang felt that the blind old man was really hearted, that kind of mutated zombie, Brother Qiang saw one and killed the other.

As everyone knows, a mutant zombie of that level is simply invincible in front of a weak survivor!

Subsequently, Wang Qiang returned to the blind old man and asked if there was anyone who could repair the machine of the Zhongyu Bureau.

The blind old man thought for about ten minutes before he replied: "I know a person who used to be a senior engineer of the North China Industrial Bureau, and he is very accomplished in the maintenance of electronic engineering. ”

Wang Qiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly begged the blind old man to find someone to see.

But the blind old man shook his head and said, "That guy should be in the Hebei settlement now." You have to go there to find out where he is. ”

Hebei settlement, this is the second time Wang Qiang has heard this word, so he asked the blind old man, and then he learned that the original Hebei settlement is the name of a large settlement in the direction of Tangshan to the south.

From the words of the blind old man, Wang Qiang knew that there were still far from a few survivors in the north, at least at present, two large settlements were in a state of hostile war against each other.

Among them, the forces led by the participating armies and politicians of the old republic mastered the entire underground sewer network in Kyoto during the old republic, and attracted more than a dozen large and small settlements such as Dongcheng, Xicheng, Shijingshan, and Fengtai to build a powerful Kyoto settlement.

Corresponding to the Kyoto settlement area are the three major settlements of Sanhe, Hebei, and Jintang that survived and established political power in the Tianjin and Tangshan areas. The three settlements went their own way, and the people who started out were out-and-out reckless heroes who took advantage of the troubled times and eventually grew to the point where they could compete with the Kyoto settlements. The three major settlements have been grouped together, and they have been resisting the encroachment of the Kyoto settlement on the outside, and they are constantly fighting internally.

The small settlement where the blind old man is located is based on the remnants of the destroyed Tongzhou settlement, with only more than 200 people, and it belongs to a small settlement that cannot be put on the table. But even such a small settlement is still under the rule of the Hebei settlement, so that it will not be disturbed by other survivors.

Subsequently, the blind old man talked briefly about the Hebei settlement area.
