Far away in the northernmost part of the northern province, a group of survivors such as Kang Huang and Pei Jun, who traveled south from the ruins of Shengjing City, did not continue to migrate to the northern metropolis in the end.

They are not experiencing severe food shortages.

It stands to reason that the more people die, the more food left before the end of the world can support the few survivors. And they are indeed such a lucky bunch.

During their migration to Naiman City, they only suffered some starvation at the beginning, and a few people died due to the attack of zombies.

But everywhere you pass along the way, you always seem to find a supermarket full of food.

They still added more than a dozen living people, from thirty-nine at the time of departure, and slowly expanded the team, and finally became a large circle of forty-eight people.

And this seems to be the upper limit of their numbers -- no matter how many people there are, it has become a huge problem for them to carry food and arrange shelter.

But fortunately, they actually found the granary of the provincial reserve in the countryside close to the city of Naiman!! It's full of food!!

Although there are several warehouses where the grain has shown serious mold and resurgence, in others, for some reason, they are all piled up with fluffy empty bags. But there are still two warehouses where the grain is edible.

"These empty bags are stuffed with plastic bags and stuff like that, if you just say that the food is empty, there's no need to make it like this, right??" The high school student said suspiciously.

Kang Huang and Pei Jun immediately guessed a reasonable explanation.

It's just that this explanation, after being seen by their own eyes, feels that the reality is a little cruel.

"Maybe these are just shows, right? There are a total of 38 warehouses here, and in addition to the more than 20 that have returned to mold, at least two warehouses are full, and there is still enough food to eat. Kang Huang said, "This side is not far from Naiman City, if you want to talk about it, since there is food here for us to spend the winter, we really don't have to move in the direction of the northern city -- what if that side is the same as Shengtian City, it is all abolished?" Aren't we in a dilemma? Guarding ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand, staying here can allow everyone to survive, why not change the plan? ”

Pei Jun thought about it and accepted Kang Huang's suggestion.

Most of the survivors followed Pei Jun from the beginning, and basically, Pei Jun's decision would not be resisted by others.

The group emptied the granary filled with empty plastic bags and swept the dust inside to create a clean home.

Luckily, the men didn't try to smoke in the granary and cleaned it up.

"With this grain, we can even sow seeds on the spot next year?! In this way, we can at least ensure that we can survive in the next few days! ”

For them, the only uncertain factor is the Youguo people.

The news of the Youguo people's invasion of Zhongzhou, they were almost the first to know, and the reason why they wanted to hide in Beidu was also to avoid the Youguo army.

But now, faced with the real, immediate temptation of food and a stable life, they are beginning to re-evaluate the threat that the people of Youguo can pose.

"Even if they come in and find us, they won't kill us all, right?" Kang Huang and Pei Jun also discussed the affairs of the Youguo army many times in private.

"The main thing is that there is no way, we just keep moving, and it is not actually a solution. We have to settle down, and none of us are happy to leave our homes. We might as well settle down here, in case there are really Youguo people chasing us, we can take food, climb over the mountains, and hide in the grasslands in the northwest of Northern Province! It's so big and there are so few cities, there is always a place for all of us, and it's a big deal, if only we had lived a pastoral life! Pei Jun said a plan that he had been weighing for a long time.

"That's fine, but if we really want to settle down here, I think it's necessary to send a few people to patrol the perimeter, especially in the direction of Shengjing, in case there is a Youguo army appearing, so that we can respond in time." Kang Huang said, "There are forty or fifty of us, and it is completely feasible to arrange a few people to do this for a long time!" ”

"Okay, then you can pick two or three people and form a patrol team!" Pei Jun nodded

With such a series of preparations, Pei Jun, Kang Huang and others have lived a more fulfilling life in the past few days of the "New Year".

It wasn't until the last day or two that a heavy snowfall had sealed the area around the granary -- and there was no need for the patrols to go out on patrol anymore.

The zombies' ability to move was limited to the maximum, and the zombies around the granary had already been cleaned up as soon as they arrived, and the group of men, women, and children had an indulgent snow war!

"We are divided into three waves of people and attack each other!! Capture the Flag!! Whoever is the first to capture the flag of the other two waves and plant it in his base camp will win!! After Kang Huang set the rules, the three waves of people had a lot of fun

At night, after a fierce snow battle, Pei Jun organized these people to have a small meeting together.

"We have also been stationed near this granary for a long time, and the Youguo army seems to have disappeared, and Kang Huang has patrolled many times, but there is no trace of the Youguo army. Looks like we can stay here for a long time. ”

"That's right! There's a lot of land here! That's where we get married and have children! It's good to pass it on again!! ”

"We're a small village, aren't we? Why don't we just name the village and call it 'Shin Seijo'!! "The high school student made such a suggestion.

New Shizhuang?

When Pei Jun heard this opinion, he was very interested in mobilizing everyone to discuss.

"I think the name and the idea are not bad, 'New Zhuang', let's go this way, we haven't seen too many survivors, it's not good, there are really not too many survivors left, our little Zhuangzi, maybe it's a start?? Maybe we can completely turn over the scene of the zombie apocalypse?? ”

"That's right!! That's a good idea!! It's called Shinshijo!! Sounds like Qin Shi Huang...... Pei Jun, I think you can be our first owner!! A young man coaxed.

"Return the owner? Why do you still make it the same as a martial arts novel, I think this idea is reliable!! The other man looked disdainful at first, then with unusual joy.

Everyone finally decided that this granary and fertile soil would be their new base for long-term residence.

Zheng Jieming and others also established a similar patrol plan, and this suggestion came from Xue Ting.

"I don't know how you survived in the past, but unlike the North City now, the area around it is not a large-scale city, but more of a connected countryside. Although the density of zombies is not as exaggerated as in the city, once a group of corpses appears, I am afraid it will also have a huge impact. Xue Ting suggested at the survivors' regular meeting every morning after breakfast, "I think now we have the conditions to set up a patrol team, the main purpose is not to search for supplies, but to patrol the surrounding area by car and observe the surrounding conditions." ”

"Isn't it just to see more of the surrounding terrain? Don't we all do it when we go out? Zhou Jitang said.

"It's not just to see the surrounding terrain, if it's just for the terrain, it's enough to look at it once, and you don't need to patrol every day." Xue Ting said as he took out a notebook and a map, "This is the map we found in the bookstore, I took a look, we are south of the Red River, but the other three directions are not necessarily safe." ”

"How?" Zheng Jieming asked.

"Not far from the west and north, there are large and small cities connected, and we have actually reached the central provincial urban agglomeration here, so once the zombie tide breaks out, it is not necessarily less. Since we are next to the river here, I think that if we can give early warning, we can be prepared to retreat in advance -- take refuge on the river in advance, and when the zombies cross, we will come back. ”

"Isn't it okay to hide in the watchtower?" Wei Zilong asked.

"Hiding in the watchtower, when the zombies will be able to leave, this time is difficult to grasp, and you can only sit and eat. On the river, we can not only continue fishing, but also easily observe the situation -- even if the zombies do not retreat, we can continue to move upstream and downstream. Xue Ting said.

Zheng Jieming and Geng Zhi quickly glanced at each other, Geng Zhi pondered for a moment, and obviously agreed with this idea, "What he said makes sense, besides, the patrol people don't have to worry about collecting things, maybe they can find more useful places, and they can arrange people to explore later." ”

Zheng Jieming then nodded and accepted Xue Ting's suggestion.

"Then let's divide a wave of people, Hua Feng, you and Xue Ting, go out to be responsible for patrolling, and by the way, find someone who can draw to follow" Zheng Jieming said this, Wang Xinrui immediately raised his hand, "I can draw!" I can follow!! ”

Wang Xinrui looked at Hua Feng happily, she cherished every opportunity to perform tasks with him during the day.

Zheng Jieming nodded, "Then the three of you, with maps and notebooks, patrol around and mark important locations on the map." In addition, let's go upstream and get a boat for emergency use! ”
