Sun Cheng had no choice but to let his men bring the boat closer to Zheng Jieming's ship.

Zheng Jieming and others have been monitoring each other, and they immediately noticed the other party's movements.

"Be careful, what are their people doing here?" The crowd was extremely vigilant, and Geng Zhi immediately moved all the people sitting on the deck to the cabin.

"It's really troublesome, we don't usually feel so cautious. Just let everyone shrink to the bottom of the boat and not come out. Shunqiang once again expressed his incomprehension of the current situation.

The two boats approached, and the moon only had one bend, so the night sky was not very bright, and neither side could see each other's people clearly, only the shadows of the other.

"Prevent the other party from letting go of the cold gun." Xie Wuzi reminded Zheng Jieming.

"Do you shine a searchlight on each other?" Hang Ming asked.

"Don't use it first, it's not very good, it's like driving with high beams, just turn on a small light temporarily." Zheng Jieming waved his hand, "You each find concealment, they are more like they are here to talk, let's see what they want to do first." I guess their car is still on the bridge, so they should have come to settle their relationship with us. ”

Sun Cheng shouted at Zheng Jieming first.

"Hello!! Thank you in advance!! My name is Sun Cheng and I am from Eastern Province! ”

Sun Cheng introduced himself first.

He speaks politely, not like a rough man.

"You're polite, just shout and report a letter." Cheng Kai-ming also responded as humbly as possible.

"What do you call you, buddy?" Sun Cheng asked.

"Zheng Jieming, we are from Northern Province." Zheng Jieming replied.

"Oh, Northern Province? It can't be the North City, right? Is it really a northern metropolis? So the Northern Province has also fallen? It's really hard to get anywhere now. Sun Cheng set two sentences and cut to the point, "We still have to trouble you a little bit, our group of people, we ran in a hurry just now, and all the food was left in the truck, do you have much on the boat, can you give us a little!?" ”

It's really about food.

Zheng Jieming knew that there was not much food on his side, and the food on the ship was stored in advance before, and it was not particularly abundant, so the purpose was to respond to this similar situation. There are many people on the other side, and if they don't leave for a long time, they have to come over to help, which may be a bottomless pit.

"We haven't eaten dinner here, so we can last all night until tomorrow, and we have to moisten our mouths even if you have clean water." Sun Cheng heard that Zheng Jieming did not respond immediately, and knew that the other party was hesitating, so he immediately followed up.

Zheng Jieming pondered, if they didn't give the other party some evenness, the other party would be loaded with guns, so if they were forced to be in a hurry, it would indeed be possible to rob them openly.

What's more, they have also been hungry, knowing that the taste of starvation is not pleasant, and they have fishing nets in hand, even if they are trapped on the boat for a long time, they will not starve to death for a while, at most give up the watchtower, and transfer to the upstream and downstream.

Thinking of this, he responded positively.

"Yes, but we don't have any preparation in advance, we only have a small amount of dried meat and water here, and we can only give you half of it at most, but after tomorrow, we don't have a good way, and we will have to starve." Zheng Jieming said.

Sun Cheng immediately thanked loudly, "Half?? Thank you so much!! ”

"Really give half??" Xie Wuzi asked in a surprised whisper.

Zheng Jieming waved his hand at him gently.

"Then let's go and prepare first, and in a while, let's get the two boats a little closer, and find a way to get you over?" Zheng Jieming said to Sun Cheng.

"Okay, then we'll wait on deck!" Sun Cheng replied

"Lao Zheng, aren't you? Good old man?? Do you really give them half of it casually?? After returning to the cabin, Huo Gong also expressed his incomprehension.

"What happens if you don't give it? We both have guns, and we've all starved, and if we don't give them to them, there's a good chance that we'll rob them openly. Zheng Jieming explained, "It's better to be a good person just down the slope, and it is also a good thing to meet casually in the back of the province -- and if you can cooperate, it is also a good thing to kill the zombies on the shore." ”

"What are you afraid of? They've got past us, too! Is it really hard to give them half of it? Huo Gong asked.

"Of course not, the implication of telling them this is to tell them not to ask us again. Only a small portion of the food will be enough for them to survive tomorrow, and we ourselves will not get this food. Although there are fishing nets, they can't eat them directly. Zheng Jieming said.

Hearing Zheng Jieming say that "give half" was deliberately said, everyone was relieved -- everyone had experienced famine, and who didn't regard food as the root of life.

They eventually carried out two barrels of mineral water and a small half box of dried fish fillets, and carried them to the deck.

In order to make the other party look more real, one of the two buckets of bottled water is only half.

"Bring the boat over, and two men come and carry it -- this is all we can give you, and after tomorrow we will not be able to do anything ourselves." Zheng Jieming said.

"Good! Thank! Sun Cheng replied, while immediately assigning three men to cross the side of the boat and carry back the mineral water and dried fish fillets.

Sun Cheng is not stupid, seeing that the so-called "half" is just such a bucket and a half of water and half a box of dried fish fillets, he knows that the other party is not willing to take out too much casually.

It doesn't matter, it's enough to alleviate the urgent need.

The night was so peaceful.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next morning, when Zheng Jieming and the others woke up, they noticed that the boat of Sun Cheng and his group had approached the north shore.

"When did they pass?" Zheng Jieming asked the Xie Zuosen brothers and sisters who were on duty in the second half of last night.

"It was just after dawn that I started to move that way. I think they seem to be eager to get the bridge out of the river, and there should be their supplies on board. Xie Zuosen replied.

The group was on the boat, and some of them stood on the boat, pointing their guns at the corpses, as if ready to shoot at any moment.

But many more people are actually holding cold weapons and standing on the shore

"It's quite orderly, and we can learn a little bit more." Zheng Jieming pondered.

However, in fact, when Zheng Jieming was in the small building, blocking the zombies was actually in a similar way, divided into two rows. It's just that now, there are many and mixed people, but this kind of discipline is weak, and when facing zombie battles, it is a few main forces that play a greater role.

However, the orderly position of the team was orderly, and Sun Cheng's group only resisted for a short time, and they could no longer hold on.

More and more ordinary zombies surrounded them, and what was more serious was that those beasts with fangs also surrounded them--cold weapons were not very effective against these things, a man in the front row had no way to attack, and there was nowhere to dodge, and he was hit headlong by the beast, although he was lucky, his stomach was not pierced by the fangs, but his body was knocked back into the cabin

"Withdraw it!! Sail!! Zhao Ying saw that the situation was not good, so she could only shout loudly.

At the same time, the people covering on the deck also began to shoot at the fanged monsters, covering the retreat of the crowd.

Sun Cheng stood on a high place, watching the failure of this round of breakthrough, and felt a little panicked.

"It's not good to go on like this. If we don't get the truck out and drive back as soon as possible, I'm afraid everyone will be forced to return in the wilderness. If this is the case, if you return to the small manor empty-handed, the control will definitely be weakened. When I left, I walked in full gear, and when I went back, one was more embarrassed than the other, so how can I establish my prestige?? ”

Zheng Jieming faces a similar dilemma.

They can't always spend time on the boat, they have to find an opportunity to go back to the surface again -- whether they are farming, cooking, or living, they still have to rely on the land as much as possible.

I have been floating on the boat, although it seems safe, but there are too many inconvenient places. Moreover, there will always be a day when the power of the boat will run out, and it will have to go back to the shore to replenish it.

But right now, there are a large number of fanged zombies on the north bank, and it may not be so easy to get rid of these animals.

"Although their weapons are not as sophisticated as ours, they have a lot of effective combat effectiveness. Most of us are old, weak, sick and disabled, and we have no advantage in battle. Zheng Jieming pondered, "If two groups of people can concentrate their efforts to clean up the zombies near the watchtower first, and then help them clean up the zombies on the bridge across the river, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?" And the other party has just suffered a defeat on the shore, and now it should be a good time to discuss with them? ”

Thinking of this, he briefly told Geng Zhi his thoughts, and asked Hang Ming to sail the boat towards the other party.

"You're doing this, it's very risky. The other party has figured out all the details of us. Geng Zhi reminded Zheng Jieming.

"But we can also know their details, can we? It's better to cooperate with each other than to wait together. Zheng Jieming's mind has been decided, and there are a thousand reasons that cannot be changed -- this is completely different from what he was six months ago.

Hang Ming slowly sailed the boat to Sun Cheng's side.

Zheng Jieming stood at the bow of the boat, holding on to the railing, standing upright harmlessly from humans and animals

"Mr. Sun? Their ship is coming? The armed man reminded Sun Cheng.

At this time all the armed men withdrew to the ship, and they lost only one combat strength, the one who had been hit before, although alive, could no longer fight.

"Huh? Okay, will you go with me? Sun Cheng turned his head and looked at Zheng Jieming from afar.
