Meng Qiwen finally began to understand the ghost man's thoughts.

"What about you...... Are you planning to keep this group of zombies on a leash like this? Until when? ”

"Until I can't afford to care about them." The ghost man replied.

"What is it that you can't take care of them?"

"Maybe I'm dead, right?" The ghost man said, "I know, maybe you think I can't accept the reality, or it may be so, but in fact, I'm not reluctant to let them go, I know that they may not be able to come back if they die, but if they all die and are not saved, I will not be saved." ”

"People always have to find some thought for themselves to live, don't they? You can even think of them as pictures on a tombstone. The ghost man said.

Photographs on living, moving tombstones

Meng Qiwen thought about his logic carefully and stopped talking.

She looked back at her situation, but found that there was no better place to escape except to stay at the moment--it was soon winter, and the bullet train base was not cold at all.

Let's go again in the spring next year? She put off her plans to leave the group a little. Anyway, this ghost man is not too bad, and the villagers seem to have become a little more restrained after this attack, right?

"Rest early. I'll have to go out and find food tomorrow...... By the way, you just said you still have stock? Meng Qiwen asked.

"Don't talk about it!" Xiao Du said in a panic, "We are a boat, and we are always separated from those villagers!" If you are really in a food emergency...... Ahem...... You know! ”

Hey? When did I count as a boat with them? Meng Qiwen thought about it, anyway, I helped them a few times, and I didn't discriminate against them.

"The key is you!! Brother Qiang, don't reveal the fact that we have food stocks!! In that case, they will definitely destroy this little inventory again, and the winter will really not be able to survive! Xiao Du reminded the ghost man very seriously.

"I see, I'm not stupid......" The ghost man scratched his head.

Food...... I didn't expect to have to go back to the city in order to find food...... Meng Qiwen thought.

――――――――――――

Amusement park.

Originally, the walls around the amusement park were a good barrier to zombie attacks.

But now, there is only a sweeper on the south side barely blocking the loophole, and from time to time some zombies squeeze in from the side of the body.

Every night, the next day, I went to check near the south gate, and there were nearly 100 more zombies in the park.

It is more serious in the west.

Since the entire express hotel has collapsed, even if everyone simply adds some iron plates and other things to block the ruins, the zombies will still crawl over.

Often after a night, even the iron plate has been knocked over, and a large group of zombies gather in the square on the west side of the park, as if they are conducting morning exercises, and everyone can only mobilize urgently, use vehicle cover, and kill these zombies with cold weapons.

Without the comfortable big bed of the Express Hotel, everyone had to gather in the office of the management office and spend the night on a bed made of a hard bench or a table.

But people are not willing to give up here -- there are vegetables to grow, fresh water to collect, and livestock to be raised in captivity, so it is too expensive to give up and start all over again.

And the weather gradually got colder, and the windows of the office were not as tight as those of the express hotel, and they were in the wind, and at night, the windows let out a terrible cry, as if a group of ghosts were screaming in the windows.

"After this time, the food stock has not been lost too much, and we have set up the kitchen in the park correctly." Geng Zhi said that they had gone through two days of exhaustion and touched all kinds of losses.

A few people who could take the lead in the team, as well as some survivors who were more concerned about the current survival situation, gathered in the small conference room of the management office to discuss the current situation.

They don't have tables, chairs and benches anymore, and they are all used in the corner of the conference room or other rooms to be used as beds, and the people in the meeting can only sit on the floor.

"How long do you have enough food?" Zheng Jieming asked.

"We have a lot of people now, and the food we have is ...... Two months. Geng replied straightly.

"Two months...... In other words, it was a harsh winter. Zheng Jieming groaned, "What about the water?" What do you think of the water in the central fountain...... Can it still be used? ”

"The water is basically ...... I can't say well, the water we store in various bottles and cans may last for more than a month, but the water in the pool ...... I'm not sure if any zombies have ever been in there, but after boiling it, maybe you can still drink it. Geng Zhi said with some concern.

"In a month or two, we'll be able to go out and look for something, and we'll be better off after the first year—after that, so that from spring onwards we'll be able to plant things, dig canals, and do more fortifications." Zheng Jieming thought for a while and said.

"The sheep and rabbits have moved to the north, we checked, and there are no losses." Luo Xue said.

"This is all thanks to Xie Wuzi. If he doesn't come back to warn, we may be killed by the enemy in the dark. Zheng Jieming looked at Xie Wuzi lying on the table in the corner and said.

Xie Wuzi seemed to hear his name mentioned, turned his head to look at everyone, and he saw that everyone was looking at him.

"It's alright...... I've taken the medicine......" he replied softly from afar, closing his eyes.

He was having a fever.

His leg had been urgently "treated" and was severely inflamed -- Fang Xinping felt that if he wanted to save the broken leg, it would be better to take the risk of removing the entire leg that was about to die......

But Fang Xinping couldn't put down this kind of hand.

Hua Feng took on such a surgical role -- just as he cut off Zhang Xiushan's arm at that time, he cut off Xie Wuzi's left leg.

Xie Wuzi suffered for several days after that, and in the past few days, he felt that he had walked to the ghost gate many times.

Even one night, he clearly saw two people, one black and one white, walking up to him and patting him on the shoulder, as if urging him to leave.

Behind the two people in black and white clothes, there seemed to be a few people standing, one of them seemed to be Wang Shuangman, and the other seemed to be Ling Er...... There are a few others, and they don't even know Xie Wuzi.

"What are they coming to me for? Where do I go? Why don't you speak? Xie Wuzi thought to himself.

He said, "I don't have a left leg, how can I go with you?" ”

The black-clothed one then took out a bloody left leg from behind him and handed it to Xie Wuzi.

"You're going to let me put it on? I don't want it, I want my own legs. He didn't feel fear.

Hearing this, the white-clothed man picked up Xie Wuzi's leg from the outside, the leg that had been buried in the soil and eaten by ants.

"I'm not going with you. Don't try to take me with you. Xie Wuzi looked at his legs, but seemed to regain consciousness, and he said firmly but quietly.

The man in black and white shook his head and disappeared into the air, along with Wang Shuangman, Ling Er, and the other men.

Xie Wuzi sat up from the bed in shock, only to feel that the section of his leg was painful -- but there was only darkness around him, and there were no strangers.

"Could it be that I'm dying?" He muttered to himself, and then lay down again.

From that night on, he began to have a serious fever -- Fang Xinping kept giving him various antipyretics, but there was no effect.

――――――――

"Will he be able to hold it?" A girl asked Fang Xinping.

The girl is one of six civilian survivors of the Doomsday government -- all six survivors have joined Zheng Jieming and others in their search for the government, but two men have already died from Lucien's truck ramming and grenade attacks.

"I don't know." Fang Xinping shook her head, she was a little blank.

Accustomed to life and death, she has doubts about the words "saving lives and helping the wounded".

Will death also be a relief?

She hugged Wang Chengnan, looked at his round face day by day, and felt that giving birth to him might be a mistake.

Zheng Jieming saw that this girl was a little concerned about Xie Wuzi, so he assigned her.

"What's your name?" Zheng Jieming did not remember the names of the new arrivals -- he did not have this time at that time, and as soon as these six people joined, he went to the mountains with Chen Haoyang, Zhou Jitang and others.

"Lu Xiaoyu."

"You're in charge of taking care of Xie Wuzi, right? He has a fever now, and he has difficulty moving, and the inflammation has not disappeared, so you help Fang Xinping. Zheng Jieming said.

"Me? Can I? ”

"Yes. If he survives, it's your credit. Zheng Jieming said with great certainty.

He watched Lu Xiaoyu walk towards Xie Wuzi, and his worries about Xie Wuzi were temporarily put aside.

"Alright, now I'll tell you what I think." Zheng Jieming listened to everyone's views on the current situation and began to summarize.

"The amusement park is not as safe as it used to be, but we still have a lot of investment here, and it is already cold, and after a few battles, it is difficult to have the energy to do a large-scale migration - the cost and risk of relocation is too great, in case we encounter new enemies, cannot find suitable shelter, and encounter large groups of zombies, we will be in a dilemma." "So in terms of the base, we all have to choose to stay at the amusement park until this winter is over." ”

"Isn't it okay to live next door?" Chang Bing asked.

"Like the Anping Lake community? The room for maneuver is too small, and it is difficult for us to make a detour when there is a problem, so we can only fight hard. Zheng Jieming rejected this proposal, and then continued, "In terms of water source, the water in the pool, boil first, wait for the water to cool down, find a rabbit to try, and then find a rabbit to drink dirty water for comparison, no problem before drinking." ”

What if something happens to the rabbit?! Wang Xinrui thought in her heart, but didn't say it.

Rabbits that breed quickly are obviously much cheaper than humans.
