Chapter 45: The Dairy Farm
It didn't take much time to travel all the way, Liu Cheng arrived at the meeting point in about ten minutes, and the five people had also completed their tasks and came out of the police station, and were hiding in an abandoned building on the shore. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How?" Liu Cheng saw that several people were empty-handed, except for the steel rod that he had when he came out of the hospital, only Zhang Wang was carrying a small backpack, obviously not much gained, although he had already expected that there would be nothing good in the police station in this kind of town, but it still made Liu Cheng a little disappointed.
"Three pistols, five magazines, less than a hundred rounds, five batons, two walkie-talkies, and a strong one, ten arrows, and six machetes, and nothing else." While talking, Zhang Wang handed over the backpack to Liu Cheng, and at this time he had a clear understanding of his positioning. Liu Cheng didn't take the bag directly, it was a waste to give all these weapons to himself, he just took out a pistol and two magazines from the backpack: "You choose the weapons you know how to use, it's best for everyone to have a knife by your side, we may encounter a battle at any time, at least we must be able to protect ourselves, because most xenomorphs are not invulnerable, as long as you have courage, there is hope to live." In the face of these chicks of the last days, Liu Cheng did not blindly tell them the hardships of the last days, but just told them that "you have hope of living", which is enough. Most people are not the kind of people who are more aggressive the harder they are, and they need to build enough confidence in themselves, otherwise they will be vulnerable if they lose their faith.
"Alright, let's go, we're going to the dairy farm in front, there are more than twenty survivors there, if you're lucky, you can consider spending the night with them." Seeing that everyone had a machete, Liu Cheng didn't say more, they will soon come into contact with this world, so let's take them directly to face it. Passing through the tall reed grass in the middle, the dairy farm is still as quiet as when Liu Cheng came.
The gentle knock on the door quickly caught the attention of the survivors of the dairy farm.
"Xiao Si, you and Danyang go and see who is knocking on the door." A middle-aged man of about forty years old said to two young people who were bored playing chess.
"Okay Uncle Hua, I'll go right away." The two young men each grabbed the improvised strings around them and walked towards the gate.
"Danyang, did you think the knock on the door outside would be a passing survivor or that kind of dry corpse?" The young man named Xiao Si asked Danyang softly as he walked.
"Surely the survivors, those dried corpses don't come here for no reason. And if those dry corpses really found out, how could they be knocked so lightly. The young man named Danyang analyzed it for Xiao Si, "Xiao Si, you go up and stare at it, if it is a survivor, you will nod your head, you know what to do." The two lads seemed to have partnered many times when they approached the gate, and Xiao Si went up to a simple watchtower, while Danyang went behind the gate. Seeing that Xiao Si nodded to confirm that it was a human outside, Danyang went to open the door, but the two did not relax their vigilance because it was a human outside, and still pointed to the door with the widow in their hand, as long as the survivors outside had any abnormal movement, they would shoot the arrows in their hands, and they would not be soft because the other party was also a human.
With the all-round reconnaissance assistance of the sparrow, Liu Cheng knows everything in the yard of the dairy farm clearly. So when the gate slowly opened, the two sides did not cause any misunderstanding and conflict. "Hey, Comrade Danyang, we are on a friendly visit, my name is Liu Cheng. I wonder if you welcome us into this courtyard? Liu Cheng smiled, looked at the young man in front of him with a simple hand, stretched out a hand to shake hands, and didn't take the arrow pointed at by the other party to heart. Shen Danyang looked at the smile on Liu Cheng's face, and he didn't understand how this young man who called himself Liu Cheng knew his name.
However, out of politeness, Shen Danyang still stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Liu Cheng, and at the same time asked suspiciously, "Did we know each other before?" didn't know that this handshake had dissolved his vigilance, and even the son in his hand was put down because of the handshake.
"I don't know." Liu Cheng smiled indifferently, "We are just passing by here, but I want to talk to your principal." Liu Cheng and Shen Danyang said, and the middle-aged man known as Uncle Hua had already walked over with two other middle-aged people with a few young people, and these young people also brought their own children. Liu Chengming was saying this to Shen Danyang on his face, but in fact, he said it to the three middle-aged people who came later.
"Please, a few people, all of them are guests, hehe." The middle-aged man known as Uncle Hua groaned slightly and welcomed Liu Cheng and the six people in with a smile, "Danyang, go prepare lunch and entertain a few people." ”
"There's no need to bother with hospitality, it's better to save food in this era." Liu Cheng smiled slightly and stopped Shen Danyang, who was about to prepare, "Uncle Hua, I don't know if you can solve my confusion if you have a question?" ”
"Young people can just ask if they have any questions." Uncle Hua did not show the slightest surprise at Liu Cheng's ability to say what a few juniors called him without introduction, as an old man, he had seen much more than Shen Danyang, as far as he knew, there were many ways to do it before the end of the world, smiling slightly, Uncle Hua said very casually.
"This is so close to the town, Uncle Hua, aren't you worried about being besieged by xenomorphs when you live here?"
"There is no reason not to be afraid, but what about being afraid? Still have to live. But it's okay to be careful, after all, the wind from the river usually blows downstream along the riverbank. And once you're too far out of town, it becomes difficult to get food. Uncle Hua shook his head and explained to Liu Cheng helplessly.
"But the food in the town will run out one day." Liu Cheng nodded in agreement with Uncle Hua's point of view, "I wonder if Uncle Hua knows how many survivors are left in this town?" ”
"Although this is a small town, the population is actually quite large, so there are still a lot of survivors at the beginning, and there can be nearly a thousand people scattered around, but now, it is estimated that there are not many left. At least it's been a long time since our team went out to find food hasn't met other survivors. Chatting casually, two hours passed quickly, and Liu Cheng also had a general understanding of the situation in the town. Since the mutation occurred at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, it was the time when there were many people on the street, and in addition to the residents of the town, there were many people from nearby towns and villages who came to catch the market, so there were far more than 20,000 xenos in the town after the mutation. However, the large population base also made many survivors, but unfortunately they did not make it through and died in the later period. So there must still be a lot of food left in the town, and it still has the value of recovery.
"Bang" "Uncle Hua, it's not good, Jie Liang and they came back, but there were still a lot of dried corpses behind them. While everyone at the table was chatting, a man in his twenties rushed in, panting and looking nervous.
"How many?" Seeing the man's expression like this, Uncle Hua's heart also sank, it was not that he had never encountered this situation before. But every time I was resisted by everyone, everyone was still very calm every time I encountered such a situation. If this time you can scare this man like this, it can only show one problem, there are many monsters of that kind.
"At least seven or eight hundred." The man swallowed hard and said.
"How can there be so many? Inform everyone to go to the door and prepare immediately. Fast. Uncle Hua was also frightened by this number. Seven or eight hundred, how big should that be? In such a situation, Liu Cheng did not choose to leave, but took Zhang Wang's five people to the gate, and walked with everyone to a platform behind the wall. Who made him jealous of Uncle Hua and the other people's skills and wanted to get a few people back to the base.
The previous sparrow's investigation let Liu Cheng know that Uncle Hua and several other middle-aged people were technicians from a certain military industrial enterprise, although he didn't know why they appeared in the small place of Liu Ying. But this does not prevent Liu Cheng from blushing at their technology, now in this world, every kind of technical personnel is a rare talent, which plays a pivotal role in the construction and improvement of the base. Ever since Liu Cheng saw the crossbow in the hands of Shen Danyang and the others just now, he already knew that the skills of Uncle Hua and the others were not ordinary. The crossbow is clearly handmade, and although it is not delicately decorated, the angular lines are a testament to the craftsmanship of the maker.
