Chapter 139: Dare to Take a Risk
On the playground of the school, two groups of people were facing each other against the sun, holding equipment and arguing, and there was a big fight when they didn't agree.
By the time Ling Tao and Uncle Zhou arrived here, the two sides had already begun to have physical contact, and if they continued, a chaotic fight would be inevitable.
Uncle Zhou, who came running with a musket, stood directly in the middle of the two groups of people, and roared angrily: "The dog is going to turn the sky upside down, right, stop it."
Uncle Zhou still has a certain amount of weight in talking among these people, and when he was angry, both sides stopped, and then under Uncle Zhou's inquiry, the two sides roughly explained the reason for the conflict.
In fact, the cause of the matter is also very simple, it is nothing more than a matter of eating, these hundreds of people have been gathered here for more than ten days, and almost all that can be eaten has been eaten, when it was green and yellow, Ling Tao brought an eight-meter-long snake, cleaned up and sent one to Ling Tao, and the rest was cooked with a small amount of rice and a big pot of meat porridge.
The meat porridge is full of aroma, and the person in charge of cooking rice has been in a semi-hungry state for several days, and can't help but take a bowl to eat, but the others don't do it, everyone has been hungry for so many days, why do you eat it quietly?
Just for such a small thing, it started with uncomfortable verbal muttering, and finally it intensified, and it got to the point where a fight was about to take place.
Don't look at these people are from the same village, but in the face of hunger, who cares who you are, for your own bite to eat, you are so hungry that you are afraid that it is possible to fight with your life, and what kind of friendship you can talk about.
After figuring out what happened, Ling Tao smiled bitterly in his heart, the meat of that white snake plus rice was just a big pot of porridge, but it was not enough for hundreds of people here to eat, no wonder it almost started a fight because of a little thing.
"What should I do, do you deserve this for the sake of a bite? If you have the energy to fight here, you might as well find a way to see how you can get more food", Uncle Zhou said angrily while standing in the crowd.
"Uncle Zhuzi, you said it lightly, the big guys are so hungry that they have no strength, I don't know if they can wait until the next meal after eating this meal, one bite of food is a matter of survival, besides, what can be done now, there are monsters scurrying around outside, going out is death, where to get food"? A burly man stood up and said.
Hearing his words, Uncle Zhou was furious, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded: "Zhou Lin, because you have such a big body, a few small animals outside will scare you?" Shrinking here and grabbing food with a bunch of old people and children, are you ashamed? There are monsters running around outside, but why didn't I give them food when I went out before? Don't make so many excuses if you're timid."
"Uncle Zhuzi, you have a gun in your hand, of course you dare to go out, if you give me the gun, I dare to go out", said the strong man who was called Zhou Lin by Uncle Zhou, without giving Uncle Zhou any face.
"You ......", Uncle Zhou pointed at the other party so angry that he couldn't speak, and his beard curled up one after another.
"Zhou Lin, how can you speak, don't apologize to Uncle Zhuzi, if Uncle Zhu hadn't killed your big rooster with a gun that day, you would have pecked out several holes in your head and died, how could you have a chance to speak now", a dark-skinned middle-aged man on the other side stood up and pointed at Zhou Lin and said.
"I'm just talking about things," Zhou Lin said with a stiff neck glaring at the other party.
The two sides were already angry, and they were on the same page, but as a result, the people behind both sides were called out, and the scene was about to get out of control.
Bang...... a loud bang suddenly sounded, quieting down the villagers who were arguing again.
Uncle Zhou took the still smoking musket and said angrily: "Give Lao Tzu quiet, I also know that it is not a way to go hungry like this, in this way, I have an idea in my heart, say it and everyone will consider it, so as not to let the guests see our jokes."
Uncle Zhou was shot, and everyone knew that he was already angry, and immediately stopped talking about what he thought.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Uncle Zhou pointed to the big pot of meat porridge and said: "The food is here, but there is only so much, my idea is that instead of waiting for death here, it is better for everyone to take the risk to find more food to come back, those who are willing to take risks, you can eat, eat hard, and when you are full, follow Lao Tzu out, go to carry the grain back, every house has food, it depends on whether you have the courage to take it."
Uncle Zhou's words quieted everyone down, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't speak, the meaning is obvious, you can eat if you want to, but you have to take risks, take your life to risk!
Seeing that no one spoke, Ling Tao on the side thought about it, stood up and coughed to attract everyone's attention and said: "I came here by chance, thank you for your hospitality, although I am an outsider, but I also know the situation here from Uncle Zhou, so I also want to contribute to everyone, just now Uncle Zhou said that he would take everyone out to take the risk to find food, which is very good, although it is a little risky, but if you can find food, you can save the lives of everyone here, it is because I decided to follow Uncle Zhou, Taking the risk of finding food for everyone, but it's not a matter for any one person, you need everyone to contribute, everyone, you have your families here, and you don't want to watch them starve to death, so why not take the risk and contribute."
Ling Tao's words made Uncle Zhou's beard curl and said angrily: "Look at it, Xiaotao is not from our Zhoujia Village, they all understand things better than you, and they all know that they are noisy, and they are not as good as a child, and they will live to be dogs at a young age."
Ling Tao smiled bitterly in his heart, it was not that he wanted to be in the limelight, but he had his own plans in his heart, it was more than a hundred kilometers away from S City here, so don't think about going back for the time being, going back and meeting the people of the Song family is no different from looking for death, so he can only stay here, so the problem will come.
This is just a gathering place for a group of villagers who don't have much culture, it's not that the army has logistical supplies, and the problem of food needs to be solved urgently, he has done it with the living dead and mutant beasts, and he is not afraid of taking the risk to find food, so he just stood up and supported Uncle Zhou's mention.
Secondly, the most important reason, Ling Tao also has a selfish intention, that is, he wants to seek revenge on the Song family in S City, but in this way, he needs to be strong, and the hope of revenge is pinned on the cyclone that mysteriously appears in his abdomen, and if he ventures to find food, he may encounter mutant creatures, so killing the mutant creatures Ling Tao will have a chance to confirm whether he can really increase his body through the cyclone in his abdomen, so as to improve his personal strength, if it is really feasible, then he is expected to take revenge.
Although Ling Tao lives in a society where science is supreme, unscientific things like great changes in the world have happened, so the relatively illusory thing of entrusting the abdominal cyclone to improve one's body quality can be well accepted.
Ling Tao's words made Zhou Lin, who had collided with Uncle Zhou before, stand up and pointed at him and said, "What do you know as a child, do you know how dangerous it is outside?" A cow two or three meters tall can kill you with one head, a big rooster can peck you to death lightly, maybe a mouse with a body length of two or three meters can bite you to the bone, and you dare to say that you want to venture out to find food, I think you are looking for death"!
His words made the faces of the people around him change, and the people who were present with the large and extremely aggressive animals he said knew that it was precisely because of this that they did not dare to go out here, and those mutated animals that seemed to them to be no different from the legendary monsters were really something they did not dare to face.
Zhou Lin's words made Ling Tao's eyes narrow, and he stood up and said: "I can imagine what you said, but so what, is it rare to wait here for death because of fear?" You say I don't know anything, then I'll sue you, I've encountered thousands of living dead, and mutated creatures with a body length of four or five meters have been killed by myself, not to mention those, even the white snake that was more than eight meters long before was killed by me, although those animals are terrible, but they are not without a chance to kill, is it possible that you are here to die because of fear? Those monsters can eat people, but if we kill them, we can also eat each other's meat, and that white snake is enough to illustrate a qiē, do you say yes or no"?
Ling Tao's words, word by word, made the burly man Zhou Lin speechless, although I don't know if what Ling Tao said is true, but it is a fact that he brought back a white snake, otherwise there would not be such a pot of porridge.
"Hmph, you said it lightly, what if you die"? Zhou Lin lowered his head and snorted coldly.
"Brother Zhou, you are older than me, don't you know that if you want to get it, you need to pay? How can there be a cheap thing in the world, everything needs to take risks, just take your crops as an example, not looking forward to a good year, if you suffer a disaster, it is not a year of hard work without harvest"! Ling Tao said directly to the side.
Whether it was a question of eating for his future or wanting to kill mutated creatures and use cyclones to increase his personal strength, it was impossible for Ling Tao to sit still here.
"Okay, little brother said it well, it is worthy of being a student in a big city outside, and his knowledge is better than that of us crop men, just to what you said, I agree to go out with Uncle Zhu to take risks to find food", Ling Tao's voice fell, and the black-faced man who stood up to refute Zhou Lin before said loudly.
Afterwards, he asked loudly at the people around him: "Is there anyone who is not afraid of death to stand up and take the risk of moving back food to save the lives of the family......, this danger is completely worth taking."
