Chapter 271: The Power of Self-Preservation

The middle-aged uncle's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and when he looked at it at this moment, it was like a flash of light crossing the sky, Li Jian and the others were shocked, and quickly shrank back their curious bodies.

"Found us...... Let's go. ”

Li Jian's expression was solemn, and then beckoned everyone not to stay here any longer, and hurriedly followed the dried blood stains and returned the same way.

"Boss, why are we running?"

Qin Hu, the honest muscular man, asked blankly, he didn't know why Li Jian asked them to run away after the middle-aged man came over to them.

"Now...... It's not time to get in touch with them......"

Li Jian said lightly, but from his frowning brows, it could be seen that what he thought in his heart seemed to be a little different from what he said.

Just now, when the middle-aged man looked over, a great sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart. The middle-aged man gave him a sense of danger, although Li Jian didn't know where this feeling of danger came from, whether it was the difference in strength, wisdom, or strategy between the two sides, all in all, Li Jian felt that it was useless to continue to stay there, and it was quite dangerous, so he felt that he had to take Qin Hu and them out of here.

Moreover, they actually came here only to satisfy their curiosity by following the bloodstains, although Li Jian originally planned to find a generator or something, but he was not in a hurry now, so it was not a big deal to retreat.

Following the blood stains on the ground that had dried up and turned dark red, Li Jian and the others returned to the place where they had seen the broken arm. The broken arm was still left alone, but there was no more blood flowing out, like a rag, and maybe it would be gone here soon, for whatever reason.

That's it. Li Jian and the others came out today to look for supplies, but in the end they returned empty-handed, fortunately, the natural food on the island in the middle of the lake is quite sufficient, and it can temporarily meet their daily consumption, if there is no food at all, then more than ten of them can only go hungry today.

After returning to the island in the middle of the lake, the days passed without panic, Li Jian and the others still went out to look for supplies, in addition to food, they also found a lot of various things. It is used to assist in the renovation of the island in the middle of the lake. Because of the lack of manpower, and in fact, the professional field is not very comprehensive, despite this, the transformation of the island in the middle of the lake has made considerable progress. The original five cabins have been demolished and replaced with a larger, larger-than-life two-storey building made of various materials.

The choice of these materials is really varied, and after building such a few buildings with extremely strange shapes, almost most people are afraid to move in. Because from the outside, such a building is so insecure that it seems to shake gently. Or when the wind blows, the whole building will collapse. Later, the expert who designed such a building lived in it and tested it himself, and after being tested by Qin Hu, a powerful changemaker, everyone moved in with a collapsed mood.

As a result, the open space in the middle of the island has gradually expanded. In addition to the buildings used for habitation, there is a warehouse made from demolished cabins and partially cut down unused mutant plants, as well as a laboratory. And the fields were gradually opened up. Trial planting of mutant plants that can be used as food has begun. Although the area of the open space is getting larger, there are still dense layers of mutated plants on the outskirts of the island in the middle of the lake. It became like a natural visual barrier. According to Li Jian, this is also for the sake of safety, with this visual barrier, even if there are people by the lake, it is difficult to see that the island in the middle of the lake has been transformed into such a pleasant base.

The base area of Huxin Island is developing in a good direction, and everyone is gradually falling in love with this place, but the keen Lin Ying has noticed that Li Jian's mood has not seemed to be very good, and there has always been a faint worry.

His concern came from the last time he saw the group of survivors in a small factory near their lake.

The middle-aged man's gaze was intensely aggressive, but Li Jian still had palpitations, especially knowing that there was another group of survivors so close to the current base of Huxin Island, which made him full of worry.

This kind of anxiety comes from the fear of human nature and the human heart. He had such a strange feeling that their base in the middle of the lake island and the group of survivors who hid in the small factory and behind the protective wall of mutant plants were like the two princes and nations in ancient times. Perhaps in the near future, once there is contact between the two sides, then it is likely that things will go in the worst direction.

It was a strange feeling, but it haunted him. In fact, this feeling is not groundless, for example, once the survivor group over there discovers a pleasant place to live such as the base area in the middle of the lake, it is very likely that they will have the intention of snatching instead of merging.

People are predatory and aggressive animals, just like when they were hiding bases in G City, and the new religions are not waging war against the military for this, not to occupy base areas and resources?

Therefore, Li Jian was worried, he was thinking, if one day, the people over there would do what they would do after discovering this base on the island in the middle of the lake. Is it as invisible, when they have an invisible neighbor, or will they get angry and plunder, and then attack the island in the middle of the lake and replace them.

Li Jian told Lin Ying about this worry, and Lin Ying also understood that the appearance of two groups of survivors at such a close distance is likely to lead to many situations, because it is the end of the world, there are no rules, no laws, and even human morality has fallen.

"I think we should have the strength to protect ourselves."

Li Jian looked at Lin Ying and said seriously.

"In terms of combat power, to put it mildly, although we have three reformers here, one is you with the ability to guide and guide, the other is Qin Hu, a power-type changemaker, and the other is an old professor with malicious sensitivity. But the abilities of you and the old professor are not biased towards combat, even if there are many roles in many aspects, they cannot become instant combat power. If you really want to say it, the combat power on this island in the middle of the lake, and I have the ability to transform into a zombie, but this is far from enough. ”

Lin Ying was silent and listened carefully to Li Jian's words.

"In order for us to have the power to protect ourselves, whether it is in the face of zombies or humans, we should have a certain military strength!"

Li Jian said seriously, his eyes full of brilliance!

Lin Ying seemed to understand what Li Jian meant, and hurriedly asked.

"Are you trying to find ......?"

"Well, I hope to find arms to arm each of us, so that our base in the middle of the lake island also has enough strength to protect itself."

In fact, Li Jian had this idea very early, but at that time, the base area of the island in the middle of the lake was developing so smoothly, and he did not feel any external threat, so Li Jian was not in a hurry to consider this aspect. But now, Li Jian feels that it is time to put more thought into this aspect.

Whether it is in the Wall of Life or the military base in G City, what can make them stand for such a long time, and what survives in this apocalyptic world is military power! And in the military, for the current environment, the most important thing is that there are guns and bullets!

Maybe there is no need for regular, well-trained soldiers, what Li Jian needs most now is guns and bullets. If you only use cold weapons, you will not be able to reach the point of self-preservation. Only with the gun in hand, can you have a certain ability to protect yourself, after all, in this kind of world, the gun is still very useful, as a weapon, it is also easy to use, basically the survivor base that Li Jian has encountered, there must be a reserve of arms that should not be underestimated, which is the foundation for them to survive in this last world to protect themselves. Because it is impossible for all people to be change-makers, it is not bad to be able to go to heaven and earth, and for ordinary human survivors, holding a gun is much stronger than anything else.

"So, where are you going to find guns and ammunition?"

After all, this country is not like some foreign countries, in this country, guns are almost not in circulation, except for the underworld circulation of some guns hidden under the surface, to find guns and ammunition, either go to a military base, or go to a place like the public security bureau to find it. Elsewhere, it's hard to find guns and ammunition, and at most you can only find one or two shotguns.

Lin Ying suddenly fell silent, lowered her head as if thinking about something, and then immediately turned around and rummaged through the drawers in a cabinet to find something, and soon, she put a stack of paper-like things on the table, and then spread it out, and found that it was a map of their province.

Lin Ying bit her lip lightly, her eyes searched the map, and not long after, she saw her jade hand suddenly stretched out, and then her snow-white slender index finger pointed at a certain place on the map.

This place, not far from the lake, is a wharf on the edge of a transportation river, Li Jian estimates, if you pass from here, if there is a means of transportation, you can reach it in two hours, but if you walk, it will take a lot of effort, and you will even have to spend the night outside.

"Here?"

Li Jian asked.

"Well, if you want to find guns and ammunition, you should go here."

Lin Ying smiled slightly, seeing such a smile, Li Jian felt extremely relieved.

"Okay, let's go check it out here." (To be continued......)
