Chapter Ninety-Seven: Preparations for Departure
In the face of Guo Zirong's reluctance, Chen Xiao did not pay attention to it, nor did he stop to continue arguing with him, but calmly followed the Ma Jing sisters and others to check the existing food and supplies in the town, leaving only Guo Zirong, who had a resentful face, following behind and shouting.
After Chen Xiao teased Guo Zirong, he also snickered in his heart, for this arrogant and unsociable Guo Shaoxia, now only he can restrain him, and Guo Zirong only respects himself, and it is really not an easy thing for others to tease or belittle him.
After Chen Xiao followed Ma Ying and the others to a cellar in the town where food and other supplies were stored, he couldn't help but be amazed, this cellar had not appeared when he left, and it must have been developed by the people in the town after he left.
This cellar is located in a collapse of a building ruin, probably because of the relatively conspicuous location, and there is a trace of the prototype of the cellar itself, which is why everyone regards it as a storehouse.
I saw that the entrance area of this cellar obviously had traces of manual excavation, and the entrance was like a cave the size of a door, and the inside was dark, and Chen Xiao found that the cellar was about two meters high, fifty or sixty square meters in size, just like the basement of a building.
This cellar-like location, which was supposed to be the basement of a house before the disaster, has been reworked by everyone, not only revealing the original space of the basement, but also expanding a little in the original scale, not only sheltering from the wind and rain, but also quite shady inside, which is a good place to store goods.
With the bright light and extraordinary vision outside the cave, Chen Xiao found that this cellar was piled up with nearly hundreds of cooked meat of all sizes, in terms of color and shape, it contained all kinds of common beasts and poultry meat, but the volume was much thicker than normal game, which should have been the hard harvest of the hunting team for several days.
In addition to the cooked jerky that is easy to store and is not perishable, there are also some wild vegetables and wild fruits that cannot be named in the cellar, adding up to hundreds of catties, and the rest is some bedding and clothing collected from everywhere and some living and production utensils, such as kitchen utensils for cooking and boiling water, shovels, shovels, axes, hammers, etc., as well as steel bars, iron wires, iron sheets, etc., as well as steel bars, iron wires, iron sheets, etc., in some building materials......
Looking at the results that everyone has been looking for for days and days, Chen Xiao couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and once again fully affirmed the logistics work of Ma Ying and others, because they not only did the logistics work in an orderly manner, but also did not forget to store resources for the future development of the ethnic group.
After Ma Ying and other women, children and old people in the logistics department were praised by Chen Xiao in public, their hearts were naturally happy, and the bitterness experienced when they were running around and painstakingly looking for materials in the past few days also disappeared in an instant, and they all had a red and excited look.
Especially Ma Ying, what she longs for most is to be praised and affirmed by Chen Xiao, and today is just a short period of time, and she has been praised twice by Chen Xiao, how can she not smile at all? Regarding Chen Xiao's incomprehensible style and emotional evasion of her, she didn't care about it for the time being.
Chen Xiao once again affirmed the work of the logistics department, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts, and after continuing to maintain such a fine style in the future, he asked Yang Chengang about the current number of personnel in the group, so that he could have a bottom in his heart.
According to Yang Chengang's report, counting Chen Xiao and his companions, there were originally more than a hundred members in the town, plus the thirty-eight survivors who had joined one after another in the past few days, there were now a total of one hundred and forty-three people in the group, not including Han Zhengzhong and others who Chen Xiao had just brought back, if you count them, the total number is now as many as one hundred and fifty-three.
After listening to Yang Chengang's report, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart, once upon a time, he wanted to lead a group of like-minded people to start rebuilding their homes, but along the way, there were only ten young people who were not childish, and it was far away from his goal! It wasn't until I returned to my hometown that I got the support of so many hometown fathers and elders by mistake, and this group has grown stronger day by day, which makes people feel like a dream when they think about it.
And he can have his current status and many followers, all thanks to the powerful strength brought by the mysterious spar, if he hadn't encountered the mysterious dark green spar at the beginning, and he was like the little fat man and others, relying on ordinary spars to slowly accumulate strength, then even if his luck was against the sky, he could find more spars than now, and now he must be weak, and he will definitely be weak, not like now, he can easily defeat a gang of dozens of people, and he can also have the followers and assistance of so many survivors.
If it weren't for that mysterious dark green spar, there would never be Chen Xiao today, maybe he is now like those weathered survivors, wandering around and bumping, struggling every day for food and survival, if he encounters powerful and vicious people, he will be arbitrarily manipulated and bullied, and even ruthlessly wiped out.
And since he got this mysterious spar of great significance, he has never been hungry, and after encountering danger, he can also be dissolved by his best efforts, and most importantly, he has always been at the forefront of everyone in terms of the growth rate of strength.
In the same amount of time, if there are enough spars, he can steadily defeat others at a speed of three times, which is also the reason why he can turn evil into good fortune and smooth sailing along the way, because in the early stage of the disaster, winning time is equivalent to winning strength, in this short period of time, no matter who it is, it is impossible to get too many spars, and Chen Xiao absorbs faster than others, he can get more time to find spars.
Chen Xiao also knew that his advantage would slowly weaken over time, because of the particularity of the spar, it would be more and more difficult to obtain the spar, and he was not the kind of brutal person who increased his strength by plundering other people's crystal nuclei, so if he wanted to maintain this advantage, he had to absorb the spar regularly, and this was undoubtedly a huge problem.
Chen Xiao sighed for a moment with emotion, and finally shook his head helplessly, not that he didn't want to become stronger, but now there are still development plans for the race that need his planning and guidance, and he has no extra time to find the spare, and now he can only temporarily put aside his own path of being strong, and wait until the group is properly arranged and on the right track, and then devote himself to completing his dream of being a strong man.
Chen Xiao thought for a while, and after making up his mind in his heart, he quietly asked about the current availability of food, and when he heard Ma Ying say that these foods were enough to sustain the three feedings of the group, Chen Xiao couldn't help frowning and looked at the sky, and then he beckoned Meng Gang, the leader of the hunting team, to the front.
This middle-aged man with an honest appearance and a sturdy figure saw that the leader was about to speak, and hurriedly straightened his waist, looking full of energy, and his eyes were also full of respectful staring at Chen Xiao, with a posture of obeying the arrangement at any time.
"Captain Meng, your hunting team has gained a lot in the past two days! Presumably, the big guys have also enjoyed some happiness! I'm quite satisfied with your work, you guys are really hard, you have to be exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and you have to beware of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, and even your appearance has tanned a lot! If we settle down in the future, I will reward you well! ”
After Chen Xiao saw Meng Gang's honest appearance, he couldn't help but bow his head with an appreciative face, and he was very satisfied with the realization of this man, and what he needed was this kind of down-to-earth and hard-working character, so he spoke very casually at this time, and his tone was quite kind.
"The boss has won the prize! That's what our hunting team should do! Since following the leader, we have been hunting much easier than before, not only are we well-manned, but we also have good tools, and most importantly, you don't bully us at will, so everyone is very proactive! It's all your leadership! However, we didn't go hunting today because Captain Pony said that there was enough food right now, so let's take a day off! We don't mean to be lazy! ”
After Meng Gang listened to Chen Xiao's words of approval, although he was very useful in his heart, after thinking of Chen Xiao's previous action of looking at the sky, he still felt a little weak, first complimented Chen Xiao with a sincere face, and then explained with a nervous face, his eyes still looked at Ma Ying on the side from time to time.
"Captain Meng, you misunderstood, I didn't blame you, you have done very well in the past few days, and you have also provided plenty of food for the clan! I'm not in a hurry to praise you? The reason why I called you here now is because we are going to move to the X City area tomorrow, and you must know the news! In order to have enough food on the way, and it's still early, that's why I'm going to let you go into the mountain again! I wonder what you think? ”
After listening to Meng Gang's careful explanation, and seeing Ma Ying beside him nodding in acknowledgement, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and then said his thoughts earnestly, and also looked soliciting.
"I see! Leader, don't worry, hunting for food is the duty of the hunting team, since we are going on a trek tomorrow, we should indeed prepare more food, or the leader is thoughtful! I'll lead the hunting party now! Guaranteed not to leave empty-handed! ”
After Meng Gang listened to Chen Xiao's explanation, he couldn't help but nod suddenly, then accepted the task with a resolute expression, and walked away with his legs, looking impatient.
"Captain Meng, why are you so anxious? It's never too late to leave after eating, right? Ma Ying, hurry up and prepare some dry food for Captain Meng and them! Ay! This man is really an anxious person! ”
After Chen Xiao saw this middle-aged strong man with a simple personality taking the order so straightforwardly, and with a look of excitement that could not be delayed, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then said something to keep it, but when he found that this man was only concerned about counting people and horses not far away, and he didn't realize it, he had to let Ma Ying go and prepare dry food.
"Xiao Guo, don't be idle in the afternoon for your escort team, after lunch, let Brother Han accompany you to solve the melee weapons, you must complete it according to Brother Han's requirements and appearance, and ensure the number of long 'guns' in one hand, I will see the results before dark......"
After Chen Xiao finished arranging the things in front of him, he found that Guo Zirong behind him actually walked towards him with a shy face, looking like he wanted to find him a theory......
