Three wagons, carrying more than a dozen bags of rice, some dried fish, and even some greens, were escorted by the village chief and a dozen villagers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiao Chu hurriedly greeted the intersection, and asked with some surprise and some strangeness: "What are you ......?"

The village chief waved his hand back, signaled the people behind him to stop, looked at a large group of people who came with Xiao Chu with some horror, and confirmed that the two somewhat terrifying, like 'zombie'-like girls were not there, and then spoke: "I know that you are short of grain now, so I will bring some from the village grain depot to see if you should respond to emergencies." ”

"This ...... We are indeed in urgent need of food now, but it is just ......" Xiao Chu looked at the food on the carriage, and was very surprised in his heart, these grains were enough for his three hundred or so people to have food rations for two or three days, but this food came too suddenly, and there was a conflict with the villagers just now, and it was too unreasonable for them to send food now. The only explanation is that the villagers want to send them away with the food and get them to leave quickly.

The village chief saw Xiao Chu's doubts and replied: "Although we don't know what's going on outside, the situation must be very bad, and the people we sent out to check have not returned, I heard that you are going to stay here for a few days, so I want to ask you for a favor......

As soon as the village chief said this, Xiao Chu immediately understood their intentions, I am afraid that they want to help them find those who went out, and these grains are the reward.

Sure enough, the village chief then said, "I see that you have enough men and guns, and I want to ask you to help you go to Weizhou Island and see if you can find the people we sent out......

It turned out that in the past year or so, Xieyang Village had sent people to Weizhou Island, nine nautical miles northwest of Xieyang Island, to inquire about the situation, but none of these people had returned. The people who were sent out were all young and strong, and there were fewer and fewer strong men on the island, so that they didn't dare to send people out easily. The last time people were sent was a month ago, ten young people were dispatched, and the oldest was only twenty-five years old, which was also no way, there was really no one to be found on the island. Of course, this group of people did not come back, and there was no way in the village, so a few old people suggested that at the cost of half of the grain in the granary, see if they could ask Xiao Chu and other outsiders to help take a look.

Xiao Chu had no reason to refuse, firstly, they had indeed done him a great favor, and the quid pro quo was not a difficult thing for them, and he could also use the buffer time of these few days to find a way to solve the problem of food supply. Therefore, Xiao Chu happily agreed to the village chief's request, but there was one condition, Xieyang Village needed to send a guide, because no one on Xiao Chu's side had been to Weizhou Island and was not familiar with the situation there, and most of the villagers on Xieyang Island were very familiar with Weizhou Island, because most of their daily necessities and rice, flour and other grains were supplied by Weizhou Island. Because Xieyang Island is too small, there is not enough arable land.

Although Xiao Chu's conditions are reasonable, it also makes it a little difficult for the village chief, not because he is unwilling, but because there are only some old and weak women and children left in the village, and there is really no one to find. Moreover, he couldn't let go of Xiao Chu's group, especially in the village square just now, he also witnessed Xiaobu and Xiaobai almost brutally killing a thug. But after careful consideration, he still agreed to Xiao Chu's request and decided to personally accompany Xiao Chu to Weizhou Island.

After reaching an agreement, Xiao Chu was very happy to order the people to transport the grain away, immediately start a fire and cook, and then lead the village chief into the military tent, and discuss in detail what this time is called a 'search and rescue' operation.

The main purpose of the village chief was to find the ten young men sent out a month ago, including his son, and as for the ones sent out before, the village basically had no hope. Xiao Chu asked why he didn't come back after sending so many, and he had to send people out again? The village chief said that they had no choice, they seemed to have no worries about eating and drinking on this Xieyang Island, and they could rely on fishing to produce food, but in fact, because of oil problems, their fishing boats had not gone to sea for more than half a year. Moreover, there is no arable land on the island, and now the food of the people in the village is all transported from Weizhou Island in the past, if they don't think about it, when the stored food is exhausted, they are afraid that they will also starve to death on this island.

Xiao Chu then understood that although the villagers didn't know what the outside world was, they were also trying to live, and their village was a collective, hoping to find their lost companions, which was the same as Xiao Chu's mood of wanting to find their partners, not to mention that those lost partners were still the relatives of the villagers.

Because it was already afternoon, and the wind was blowing on the sea again, Xiao Chu also had to spare some time to discuss the future food supply, and finally decided to set off early tomorrow morning. After deciding the departure time, the village chief went back with the people, while Xiao Chu discussed the issue of food with General Hu Lao, Zheng Xun, as well as the engineer Duan Mo Duan Lao and Ruan Jichen's father, Ruan Mingzhao.

These people are the representatives of the three major parts that currently make up this team, Xiao Chu's part is naturally needless to say, although the number is the smallest, it is also the most powerful part of the transformed people and mutant zombies; General Hu Lao and Zheng Xun represent the garrison, although there are only about 30 people now, but they are a very important part of the current situation, they are first responsible for the security of this temporary camp, the second is to prevent chaos among the refugees, and the third is to find ways to supervise the work of the refugees; Duan Lao and Ruan Mingzhao represent the refugees, and the two of them have considerable prestige and appeal among the refugees, and to a certain extent, the refugees have regarded the two of them as leaders, which Xiao Chu did not expect before.

After all, the aquatic resources here are very rich, and the demand for 300 people is more than enough, but their fishing boats have entered the transformation stage and cannot go to sea, so they have to decide to take advantage of the fact that there is still half a day to organize people to make a few wooden boats, and the fishing nets can be borrowed from the village chief, and then Ruan Minh Zhao arranges people to go out to sea to fish. In addition to fishing, he couldn't think of a better way to get food for the time being, so Xiao Chu decided to wait until tomorrow to go to Weizhou Island to see the situation, maybe there would be an unexpected discovery.

After arranging the relevant matters, Xiao Chu organized people to cut down trees to make wooden boats, of course, Lev's free crane was to be brought, Xiao Chu instructed him not to move, and he could let Natasha do it for him. In fact, when it comes to making boats, Xiao Chu's group of transformation people are all laymen, and after the work of cutting down trees is completed, the rest of the work will be taken care of by those fishermen, after all, they know what kind of boat will not be overturned by the waves in the sea, Xiao Chu and the others are idle for a while.
