Chapter 42: The Camp
There was a table behind the iron door, and a gloomy horse-faced man sat behind the table sharpening a large-backed knife, a first-level evolutionary. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Six people, twelve steamed buns." Seeing that they had handed over the magic core and came in, the man rushed behind him and beckoned.
In a wooden room behind him, several thin women were busy working, one of them hurriedly packed a bag of steamed buns and handed them to the fat man, and was even more cautious when passing by the horse-faced man.
"This is also called steamed buns? It's so dark," the fat man muttered as he looked at the gray-yellow, egg-sized dough in the bag.
"Love or not, those who come late for a while haven't eaten yet." The horse-faced man looked impatient.
"Why don't you, Lao Tzu has paid for it." The fat man reluctantly took the bag and scolded and caught up with everyone.
"Don't you have enough to eat? I'll give you my share, I'm not hungry. Qiu Chuqi turned around with a smile on his face.
"I'll just say that, if you really want to give it, you can give it big, I like big steamed buns." The fat man stared sideways at the peaks on her chest, threw a steamed bun into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"You ......" Qiu Chu blushed and ran to the side, looking at the fat man with a straight look.
There are seven or eight buildings in the camp, but only two are almost finished, and the others are only frames, ventilated on all sides, and scaffolding and so on have been removed and stacked next to the walls.
The open space in the middle of the camp was littered with debris and rudimentary tents, and two off-road vehicles were parked downstairs in one of the completed buildings.
There weren't many people, men repairing and reinforcing high walls, women busy with all kinds of chores, old men with dull eyes, and a few frightened children hiding in the corners.
Wang Peixin inquired with a few people, everyone looked numb, no one knew where the people from Yijiazhai lived, but they were sure that they were not in the camp at this time.
Liu Zhenxing, the boss of the camp, set a rule, and the people who live in the camp must hand in a magic core every day, or they will be kicked out of the door if they don't have anything to eat.
For most people, going out is basically a suspended death sentence, so the young adults in the camp have gone out to kill zombies, and those who remain are doing all kinds of chores and menial work for food.
The fat man proposed to inquire about the camp manager, but was stopped by Li Sichen: "Don't worry, wait for them to come back and inquire about the situation." ”
As he spoke, someone called the door outside, and a small group of people came back, seven or eight sturdy men, all of them were stained with blood, and they all seemed to be beginning to evolve, and one of them was about to reach the first level.
They had a good harvest today, and after receiving food and water, they strode into a house, and there was a commotion from inside.
As it got late, the group of people who came back began to increase, and one of the teams who couldn't get enough magic cores was stopped at the door and began to argue.
At this time, four men with fierce eyes came down from the building, they were all first-level evolutionaries, and the leading one was still a professional.
The leader glanced at them a few times, and didn't say much, all kinds of people come in every day, as long as you hand over the magic core and don't make trouble in the camp.
Moreover, sometimes they wish that someone would add to the chaos, as now, as they appear at the door, and the quarrel immediately subsides.
But immediately after the sound of pleading, shouting and scolding filled the sky above the camp, in the face of these people who were already first-level evolutionaries, ordinary people had no power to fight back at all, and there were professionals in charge, and those who began to evolve could only swallow their anger.
Order was quickly restored at the iron gate.
"Uncle Black Bull, Second Tiger!"
When a group of men with black and red faces and some Yi family costumes walked into the camp, Wang Peixin greeted them.
"Hehe, it's Xiaoxin, you finally figured it out?" A man like a black tower strode over, smiling and patting him on the shoulder.
A short and sturdy young man came directly to a bear hug: "Brother Xin, it's great that you can come!" With your knife, we'll be much better. ”
"That is, you are the best martial artist in the village."
"Don't leave if you come, it's better to be a family." And the other men and women gathered around,
"Uncle Black Bull, I'...... I'm going back, this time with a few friends, they're lost. Wang Peixin looked at the enthusiastic clansmen with some embarrassment.
Uncle Hei Niu showed a trace of anger on his face: "You are still not giving up, I think you are in the heart of the demon." ”
The faces of the others also became unsightly.
"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this, it's good to come. Let's go inside and have a bite to eat and talk slowly. Erhuzi was busy playing a round on the side, pushing Wang Peixin and his father forward as he spoke.
"These are your friends, please come with us." Uncle Hei Niu looked at Li Sichen and the others, and his face softened.
He was already a first-level evolutionary, so he could naturally see that several people were extraordinary, especially the delicate young man among them, just a casual glance at others made his eyelids jump and his limbs were cold.
The people of Yijiazhai live on the third floor of a building in the south, and although they are a little crowded, they are much better than those who sleep in the open space.
There were only some steamed buns and porridge on the table, which were the best things they could come up with, and it was obvious that they were not having a good time, but they still retained the hearty hospitality of the Yi family.
Erhuzi made a copy of the wild boar meat brought by Wang Peixin to the table, which made Uncle Hei Niu's face look better.
The surviving people in the village had a reunion dinner together, and everyone chatted while eating, and after a meal, several people had a general understanding of this place.
There are more than 400 people in this camp, there is a gate of light, and the most powerful is occupied by Liu Zhenxing, and those who need to sacrifice go in and hand over ten demon cores every time. Uncle Hei Niu went in once and got a white short knife, and his combat effectiveness improved a lot.
Liu Zhenxing has more than 30 subordinates, of which there are ten first-level evolutionaries in addition to him, five are professionals, and the rest are semi-evolutionaries, as well as four or five guns, and it is said that he has close contacts with a big force in the county.
Li Sichen began to be a little surprised, how did these people develop so fast, it is clear when you think about it, just the demon cores handed over by more than 400 people in the camp every day are not a small number, which is also the reason why the power of the Apocalyptic Group has developed much faster than individuals.
Because the people of Yijiazhai are united and brave, they have never handed over the magic cores that should be handed over, and there are already three first-level evolutionaries, so Boss Liu is quite polite to them.
However, in the past few days, they have lost a few more people, more than thirty when they came down the mountain, now only twenty-seven remain, and two are injured. This is also the reason why Uncle Hei Niu hopes that Wang Peixin can stay and help them.
The others were all small gangs of seven or eight people, ranging from five to six. In the last days, most people huddle together to keep warm, and it is difficult for the lone ranger to survive.
The more capable gangs live in the building, and the weaker ones can only sleep downstairs.
Knowing that they were going to sacrifice, Uncle Hei Niu asked Xiaohu to take them over, but let them be more careful, I heard that someone sacrificed something that Boss Liu wanted, and then died outside the high wall for some reason.
In order to avoid trouble, Li Sichen asked the fat man and the Yi family to stay together, and Erhuzi took him and Wang Peixin to find Boss Liu.
When the three of them went downstairs, it was already dark, and the camp was not allowed to light the lights, but in the moonlight, there was a clearing where people were surging.
Erhuzi told them that it was a makeshift trading area, where many people gathered to exchange their day's harvest, food, weapons, alcohol, or other useful things.
Li Sichen and Wang Peixin were not interested in this, and walked straight to another building.
