Facing the morning sun and stepping on the morning dew, Ling Tao took Zhou Lin and the other thirteen people to leave the school where the villagers of Zhoujia Village lived, and gradually drifted away, disappearing between the dense vegetation.

After this period of time of cleaning, there are not many mutant beasts left in this area of Zhoujia Village, and it is unlikely that there will be mutant beasts to attack them during the time period when they leave the range of Zhoujia Village.

"By the way, among you, except for Zhou Lin, I don't know your names yet, so let's introduce yourself", Ling Tao asked as he walked forward.

"Mr. Ling, let me explain", Zhou Lin said embarrassedly, because he had a holiday with Ling Tao, although he had completely changed his mentality, he was always a little unable to let go when facing Ling Tao.

Under Ling Tao's nod, he stretched out his hand and nodded five of the other twelve people and said: "Rural people, there is nothing particular about choosing names, just remember them, they are five brothers, your parents died before you came, there is no concern, the names are Zhou Dazhu, Erzhu, Sanzhu, Sizhu and Xiaozhu, which are easy to distinguish from age."

Then, Zhou Linyou pointed out three of them separately and said: "They are also three brothers, and they have nothing to worry about, the eldest is called Zhou Dafu, then the second rich and the small rich, and secondly, the four of them, respectively, are called big money, two money, and four money."

Hearing Zhou Lin's introduction, Ling Tao's eyes swept over the twelve of them, and he had a clear impression in his mind, but he was relatively speechless, just take a name, do you want to save trouble like this, if the ten brothers are still called until ten.

Then at this time, Ling Tao noticed that when he left, the hundred Mitsubishi arrows prepared by the villagers of Zhoujia Village for themselves were divided into two bundles and carried on the body of Dafu Erfu, as for the package containing food, it was on Xiaofu's body, vaguely as if they were holding something for themselves It was something worth showing off, their faces were smiling, and the others looked at their three brothers with a little envy.

Their group of people can be said to be fully armed, of course, they are only equipped with some cold weapons, everyone carries a Mi Xu straight-backed long knife on their waists, holds a spear, carries a bamboo bow and arrow bag, and leather armor all over the body, Ling Tao took a closer look, the leather armor they wore was sewn with two layers of leather, and it seemed that some items such as iron or bamboo were added to increase defense, and then there was a small leather package, which wanted to contain some things and necessities.

After this period of hard work, the weapons in their hands are no longer as simple as when Ling Tao first arrived in Shijia Village, not to mention the long knives, all of them are made of iron, and some steel is added to the blade, which can be sharper, and the spears are no longer so rough, all of them are ruler-long spear heads made of steel, and the barrel of the gun is made of wood and tight wood, and the bamboo bow is no longer a piece of bamboo, but a bamboo bow formed by two pieces of bamboo stacked and bent, with a longer range and greater power.

In short, in a word, the people of Zhoujia Village can be said to be 'shotguns for guns', and they are no longer qualified to wait for death and not fight when they faced mutant beasts.

Among the group, Zhou Lin is the most special, because he is missing a right hand, he has no bamboo bow and quiver, only carries a leather package, and a long knife that is one size larger than everyone else hangs on his right waist, and he can pull out his right hand at any time to slash, I have to say that he is missing a hand, and when there is no firearm or weapon, he can only fight in this way.

Seeing this, Ling Tao thought for a while, walked towards Zhou Lin, pulled out the pistol on his waist and handed it to her and said, "Among us, only you are inconvenient, and you can't do it without a long-range attack, you can hold this gun."

Zhou Lin looked at Ling Tao in surprise, opened his mouth to say something but couldn't say it, his eyes were a little red, and he was silent, he couldn't imagine that he wanted to kill Ling Tao at the beginning, but now he took care of himself so much, which suddenly made him feel ashamed and want to die, and then turned into seeing death as home, all because of inadvertent touch.

People are relative, no one is born with who is a mortal enemy, you treat others sincerely, unless you are the kind of person who is really cold-blooded and crazy, otherwise who will not feel the warmth and coldness of human feelings?

Seeing that Zhou Lin was silent, Ling Tao stuffed the pistol into his hand, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "It stands to reason that you are older than me, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I still want to sue you, people have times when they are confused, and when it passes, it will pass, as long as people are still alive, they always have to look forward, understand their hearts, and have their own principles, so that they can live more like a person."

After speaking, Ling Tao turned around, strode to the front, and took the lead in the direction of the outside of Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Lin took the pistol that Ling Tao stuffed into him, shook it heavily, and then inserted it into his waist, looked at Ling Tao's back, became extremely firm, and then strode to follow them.

This gun, which Ling Tao originally got from Zhou Lin, was returned to his hands again after many days, but the difference was that some unpleasant things happened in it.

Zhoujia Village said that it is not big, but it is not small, Ling Tao and they walked carefully for more than half an hour before they came to the edge of the village, and then walked out, it was dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, and it was a barren mountain range without people.

"Mr. Ling, after turning over the hill in front of you, you will leave the confines of the village", the eldest Dazhu was only less than twenty-five years old, he stood beside Ling Tao and pointed to a small hill in front of him.

"Well, everyone must be careful next, although each of us has some mutant beast feces on our bodies, but the mutant beast feces we can find are not powerful mutant beasts, not enough to deter some mutant beasts, everyone should always be vigilant", looking at the mountain in front of him, Ling Tao nodded and said solemnly.

After so much time, nesting in Zhoujia Village, he doesn't know what the mutant beasts outside have become, and it is always not wrong to be careful.

Walking on the top of the mountain, including Ling Tao, they all subconsciously turned around to look in the direction of Zhoujia Village, as if they could vaguely see hundreds of villagers in the school waving goodbye to them.

"I've lived here for more than 20 years, and I'm finally leaving here," Zhou Dazhu said with a sense of relief.

"Brother, what are you talking about when you have to leave, let's just listen to Mr. Ling's words in the future", the youngest Zhou Xiaozhu muttered, he was only sixteen years old, and he hadn't read much, and I was afraid that he didn't know the emotion of 'leaving home and returning home'.

"Hey, yes, we're about to leave here, the corn and sweet potatoes on those mountains are ripe, and the rice in the fields is already golden, originally this was a harvest season, but because of the storage of mutant beasts, it can only be ruined", the relatively honest Zhou Dafu said angrily.

"Let's go, there is no way to do this, in the coming year, when the villagers have greater ability, they will be able to plant again, and at that time, they will not be afraid of the invasion of mutant beasts", Ling Tao shook his head helplessly and said, taking the lead over the hill and walking outside.

After turning over the mountain, Ling Tao's vigilance was raised to the maximum, which can be described as seeing six ways, and the broadsword in his hand also mentioned the place where it could be pulled out at any time.

Leaving the confines of Zhoujia Village, they walked along a mountain path that was almost flooded by plants on both sides, and I don't know if it was the mutant beast feces they carried on them that worked or they were lucky, in short, they walked for several hours without encountering any danger.

Although they walked for several hours, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and they had to be vigilant about the surroundings, and their momentum did not go far, and under the twists and turns, they could reach the sky for one or twenty kilometers.

"It's not early, there is an open space in front, let's take a break and eat something, and then strive to rush to Xihe City before dark (because xx county may be sensitive, whether it is a city, city or county in the future, it will be called xx city), when everyone eats, pay attention to the surroundings, don't be careless", the sun is in the sky, about twelve o'clock, Ling Tao looked at the sky and said.

Hurrying under the sun and wearing thick leather armor, although it did not affect their activities, it made them very uncomfortable one by one.

When eating, Zhou Lin, who had been out of the house, asked Ling Tao: "Mr. Ling, after we arrived in Xihe City, we didn't have any money on us, what should we do?"

When he asked the captain of the hunter that day, Ling Tao had already asked in detail about the current survival situation of the outside world, and he had a general understanding, and when he heard Zhou Lin's question, he smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, in fact, there are four ways to survive in the outside city now, the first is to work for people, you will do whatever others tell you to do, but you will not pay for wages, but only give food, whether you can eat or not, this is relatively better, and if you are not good, you can only find a way to eat, Either you can only starve to death, and the other is to be a hunter, hunting mutant beasts or living dead, and exchanging the corpse of mutant beasts or the source liquid in the heads of the living dead for living materials."

Hearing this, Zhou Lin asked, "What about the fourth type?" What does the fourth look like"?

Ling Tao smiled and said: "The fourth is very simple, barter, this is very general, you will know when the time comes, in fact, in such an environment now, although the currency is no longer useful, but if you want to talk about it, the so-called hard currency is still there, and there is more than one, one is silver, the other is gold, but these two things are not very useful many times, but many people with a certain status use these two things to trade, in fact, there is only one real hard currency now, that is, bullets, It's almost like the money it used to be."

"Bullets as currency"? Ling Tao's words made everyone else stunned.

"Yes, it's bullets, you should be able to imagine the importance of bullets in today's environment, right?" Ling Tao said with a smile.......
