Xiao Hei spoke again: "Chen Fan, are you sure you don't want to think about taking the initiative?" ”

I frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei mentioned this suggestion to me a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to give up on this idea now.

"Our strength is too weak, and if we attack rashly, the risk is very high." I shook my head.

Xiao Hei was not discouraged, and continued to persuade: "You are now in the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, but in fact, your mentality has not changed much with the growth of strength. To be honest, at our level, it's hard to be killed unless you encounter some old antiques. ”

In this regard, Xiao Hei is indeed more experienced than me. According to its experience over the years, the realm of refining gods and returning to the void has actually been able to roam freely.

If you encounter a master of the same realm, even if you are in the late stage of refining gods, as long as you are not attacked by a sneak attack or fall into a trap, you are generally not in danger of life.

Even if we can't beat it, we can find a way to escape, of course, if we really encounter someone stronger than ourselves, we will definitely have to pay a certain price if we want to escape.

Unless we encounter some old antiques that refine the way of hypocrisy, we will have no power to resist. However, the masters of the realm of refining the Void and the Void Dao have always been the head and not the tail of the dragon, just like a legend, and it is difficult to meet.

In other words, if I join forces with Xiao Hei, it will be no problem to go out and go around. Even if we encounter a strong enemy, we will pay a price and flee back to the village.

"I have a keen sense of smell, you should know that. Your means are not too small, and the two of us will join forces to nip danger in the bud if we find it. "Blackie's idea is very optimistic.

In fact, it has always felt that the corpse chaser has actually sent someone, and it should be hidden outside the village. The other party surrounded us, and after a long time, we would naturally be dragged down.

If it had been a few days ago, I would still not have considered this suggestion. But now, I feel that Xiao Hei's suggestion also seems to have some merit.

We have been driven to a dead end, and if we do not find a way to divert the contradictions, the contradictions will erupt within us.

"Xiao Hei, are you honest, is the current material reserve in the village still enough?" I Chen Sheng asked.

Xiao Hei didn't go back to my question directly, but turned his head and glanced at Huang Ying: "This question, maybe it's more appropriate for you to ask Huang Ying." ”

And Huang Ying shrugged her shoulders: "I just heard Cuicui complain a few words, and I should still ask Cuicui about the specific situation." ”

These two guys are obviously cheating on me, and the relationship between me and Cuicui has been very awkward these days, and I don't dare to face Cuicui anymore now.

I glared at Huang Ying angrily: "Don't talk about those who have or don't, tell what you know!" ”

"Food in the village has never been very abundant, and although the men in the village rarely come back, they don't actively look for food to bring back. Overall, the village is self-sufficient......"

In contrast, the one who knows the material situation in the village the most must be Cuicui, and even the blood mother-in-law is not as clear as Cuicui.

Because in the village, the status of the blood mother-in-law is relatively high, and she is usually mainly responsible for helping the villagers to see a doctor. On the one hand, Cuicui learned medical skills from Granny Blood, and on the other hand, she was also responsible for the communication between Granny Blood's mother and the people in the village, so of course she knew a lot.

During this time, the relationship between Huang Ying and Cuicui was very good, and they lived in Cuicui's house every day, and they heard Cuicui talk about some such issues more or less during the exchange.

Life in the village is difficult, especially since food shortages have always been a problem. Fortunately, the village has not yet reached the point of severe food shortage.

In general, the women of the village store some food for the winter in the summer and autumn, when this food is more abundant.

Xiao Hei didn't lie to me before, the food stored in the village can indeed last for about a month, but that is when the men in the village don't come back.

Now that there are so many men in the village, there is naturally not enough food. In addition, we have been working hard every day during this time, and the amount of food has increased significantly, and now the food can only last for half a month.

"In other words, if the situation does not improve in half a month, most of us will starve to death here?" I was a little surprised.

Huang Ying nodded: "That's right! There are many elderly people and children in the village, and once there is a shortage of food, they will not last long! ”

I pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the situation to have reached such a serious point, since this is the case, then we ......"

I've basically made up my mind and I'm going to go out with Blackie. If you can meet someone who chases the corpse, if nothing else, there is only a battle.

If we can't find it, we can find some food. Otherwise, I always feel like we're eating and drinking in the village.

But before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly heard a commotion outside. I faintly heard Wang Meng's voice, shouldn't he be hiding in the cellar? Why did it suddenly come out again at this time?

"What's going on?" I opened the window and saw that someone was blocking Wang Meng outside, and it seemed that I didn't want Wang Meng to come upstairs.

Wang Meng's expression was solemn: "Chen Fan, something happened!" ”

"What's wrong? You come up first! I opened my mouth, and the others didn't stop Wang Meng anymore.

Wang Meng rushed up to the bamboo building with three strikes and five divisions: "Chen Fan, someone in the village has gone out!" ”

"What?" It wasn't just me, everyone else was shocked.

The blood mother-in-law on the side had been silent, but in fact, she was not too keen on these things. In her opinion, everything in the village should be left to me, and only I can save the whole village.

Now the blood mother-in-law is not calm: "I expressly forbid that no one is allowed to go out of the village, and anyone dares to disobey my order?" ”

Not letting everyone go out of the village, of course, is to ensure the safety of everyone. To this day, there are zombies roaming around here, and there is even a feeling of chasing corpses hidden in the shadows, and even I dare not go out easily.

"That's the case, Zhang Liwei and his family didn't have enough food, so he took people out of the village to look for food, saying that he didn't want his family to starve to death." Wang Meng sighed and told the truth.

Zhang Liwei is one of the "corpse refiners" who came back with us, a few years older than Zhang Lin, and his family is indeed old and young.

Xiao Hei and Huang Ying and I have basically eaten the surplus food of Bloody Mother-in-law and Cuicui in the past few days. Anyway, Granny Blood is also a witch doctor in the village, usually sees a doctor for the people in the village, and receives a lot of food as a payment, so there is no shortage of food for the time being.

And the families in the village who have never returned from the young and middle-aged families have no shortage of food during this time, and they have stored enough food to eat for a month.

Zhang Liwei's family is different, his family is old and young, and there is a shortage of food. Since he came back, there has been a big-bellied man in the family, and the stored food has naturally bottomed out.

Because we have not yet reached the most critical moment, there is no need to gather all the food and distribute it equitably.

However, we ignore what happened to those men at home when they returned home. At first, Zhang Liwei's family hid it from him, so he always felt that there was enough food at home.

It wasn't until today that Zhang Liwei went down to the cellar where his family stored food, only to find that the original food had basically been eaten. In order to feed him, the family even did not hesitate to eat less themselves.

Zhang Liwei was immediately angry and decided to go out of the village to find food. There were three or four other people in a similar situation to his family, and after discussing with them, they secretly left the village.

Maybe it's because they're afraid we'll be punished, or maybe they're afraid we'll stop us. When they set off, they specifically told their families not to leak the news.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Liwei went down to the cellar, he woke up Wang Meng, who was hiding in the cellar to recover his strength. That's why Wang Meng is now ignoring the sun outside and rushing over to tell me the news.

When I saw him just now, the family members of Zhang Liwei and others were stopping Wang Meng. If it drags on a little longer, maybe Wang Meng, a guy who is afraid of the sun, will not be able to hold on.

"Chen Fan, don't blame them, they are all forced to be helpless!" At this time, Wang Meng was still saying good things for Zhang Liwei and others.

I sighed secretly: "Okay, we already know the matter, you better hide and recuperate." If you want to come out later, you must remember to come out again at night. ”

Plans never change, and a few minutes ago we were discussing whether or not to take the initiative and check out the situation outside the village.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, things have taken such a big turn. Now even if I don't agree, we have to go out for a walk.

Xiao Hei shook his head helplessly: "Okay Chen Fan, don't say anything now, let's prepare for the two of us, and then let's go." ”

Zhang Liwei and his entourage left the village, and they were all very smart people, so they left when we were going to have a meeting to discuss.

And before leaving, the four of them had already made a plan. If all goes well, even if we've finished the meeting, we won't be able to know about their departure in time.

"Alas, what else are you going to prepare, now let's chase after it. If you hurry, you might even catch up with them! I sighed.

Calculating the time, their group had been away for at least more than twenty minutes. But I'm sure they won't be able to go all out, and with careful care, they shouldn't have gone too far by now.

The most important thing is that I don't know if it's for safety or to bring more food back, the four of them each put on a puppet when they set off.

Whether it's to control the golem while you're on the road, or simply put it on your back and use it when you need it. Anyway, as long as there are puppets, it can slow them down.

After a brief tidying up, Hei and I left the village. To be on the safe side, I changed the formation when I left.

Since Zhang Liwei and they can sneak out, others should be okay, we can be regarded as making amends, at least we can't let others take the opportunity to sneak out.

This is also to prevent anyone from breaking in again. In case Zhang Liwei and the others had an accident, it was very likely that the secret of the formation would be leaked.
