Zhoujia Village is located in a remote mountainous area, there are only dozens of households, the population is less than 500, the people are simple, live a semi-closed life, there are fertile fields and forests in the mountains, self-sufficient, and it is a peach orchard holy land in peacetime.

Although there are few people here, it has also been irradiated by the state and funded the construction of a Hope Primary School here, but the population is too small, and it will disappear with the passage of time.

Now that the world has changed greatly, the people of Zhoujia Village also know that the world is sinister, and they have gathered in this Hope Primary School to protect themselves.

I don't know what the purpose of the original construction of Hope Primary School was the school, which built a three-story teaching building, a small canteen, and a dormitory surrounded by a two-meter-high fence.

Although the school was dilapidated before, the world has changed dramatically, but it is just enough to accommodate dozens of families in the entire Zhoujia Village.

When Ling Tao followed Uncle Zhou here, he was really stunned by the situation here, he really didn't expect that such a modern building could be seen in this remote mountain village, you know, most of the houses he saw from afar were wooden houses, or earthen wall houses, which could be described as poor.

"Isn't it a surprise? In fact, this school is also one of the most decent places in our village, when this school was built, people from several nearby villages came to help, claiming to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan, at the beginning it was prosperous, but I didn't expect that after a few years, it declined, there were no students, and even the teachers who came here to teach have left, but it became a paradise for bare-ass children to play", Uncle Zhou stood not far from the school and sighed.

Ling Tao stood beside Uncle Zhou, dragging the corpse of the white snake in his hand, and was embarrassed when he heard his words, the country has indeed done a lot of practical things, but it can't withstand the changes in reality.

"Uncle Zhuzi, hey, why did you run out again, it's not peaceful outside now, what if there's something good to do......", before Ling Tao and the two approached the school gate, a middle-aged man greeted him and said.

This man was dressed plainly, with an axe pinned to his waist and a steel fork in his hand, perhaps because of long-term labor, which made him look extremely strong, but he was only in his thirties at most, but he was more than ten years older out of thin air.

"Hmph, I'm worried about a bird, Lao Tzu has been following his grandfather into the mountains and forests since he was a child, and tigers and leopards have been killed, and I'm afraid that some small animals that have grown up after eating 'feed' won't make it", Uncle Zhou snorted with a straight face when he heard the man's words.

"That's that, your old treasure knife is not old, just a small animal can't help you, but you run out silently like this is worrying", the man didn't seem to dare to talk back to Uncle Zhou, and said to him, and then looked at Ling Tao on the side, and asked curiously: "Uncle Zhuzi, is this ......"?

Although the man saw Ling Tao, he didn't show too much surprise and vigilance, he was just curious, which was also the reason for the simplicity of the villagers in the remote mountainous areas.

"Oh, this baby's name is Ling Tao, he was originally a member of the armed team of S City, and when he was hunting the white snake in his hands, he fell into the underground dark river, but he came out of the well in the village, and I happened to meet ......", Uncle Zhou briefly introduced Ling Tao's origin.

"So that's the case, welcome, welcome", the man was quite surprised after hearing Ling Tao's origin.

His surprise was definitely not pretended, which made Ling Tao extremely surprised, and said in his heart that he was an outsider, what are you happy about, but seeing that the other party did not reject him, it made Ling Tao relax a lot.

Then Ling Tao followed the two to the school, because most of the people here lived a semi-closed life, and almost no outsiders came, so Ling Tao's appearance made the villagers gathered here watch.

It can be seen that Uncle Zhou still has a certain status here, the villagers watched Ling Tao, and he was sent away by him with a straight face, and took Ling Tao to a small dormitory to accompany him personally, not to mention, but also asked people to clean up the white snake and make two dishes for Ling Tao to eat.

Although he was surprised by the other party's enthusiasm in his heart, Ling Tao was not a fool, he knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and the other party must have asked for something if he was so enthusiastic, but he didn't know what the other party wanted to get from him.

While Ling Tao was eating, Uncle Zhou was chattering on the side, but he told Ling Tao everything about the situation here.

The people of the entire Zhoujia Village gathered here, the number was only four hundred and thirteen people, except for the children and the elderly, there were only sixty or seventy young people who could really protect everyone, and there were no weapons at all, that is, agricultural sickles and iron forks, and the long-range weapons were only a few soft bows and a musket, and the musket was the one in Uncle Zhou's hand.

The situation outside is dangerous, and the villagers who have little self-protection power gather here, and they don't dare to go out at all, in the words of Uncle Zhou, a few villagers have the courage to go out to find out the current situation, but they never go back, and when they find it, they have become a pile of bones at the entrance of the village, and they don't know what they have eaten.

Listening to Uncle Zhou's words, Ling Tao sighed: "Hey, it's not easy, don't talk about it now, even the city is a mess, and no one knows when it will become what it will be."

Sighing, Ling Tao ate and drank to his heart's content, looked at Uncle Zhou and asked, "Since I have come here, I can't leave for the time being, and I have your hospitality, so if there is anything useful for me, just open my mouth, let me contribute."

Ling Tao's words made a smile flash on Uncle Zhou's face, but he sighed and said, "Since everything is said here, I really don't hide it, you have also seen that hundreds of people in the whole village gather here and have to eat every day, but when I came here, I was too busy, and most of the things in the house did not have time to bring, especially food, but when everyone wanted to go back and bring food, they didn't dare to go out at will, I see that you have two guns on you, I don't know how many times stronger than this burning stick in my hand, so I thought, can you help a few people to the village and bring back all the food from each family, hey, this is also a helpless thing."

Hearing Uncle Zhou's words, Ling Tao smiled bitterly, took out the two pistols under his armpit and put them on the table and said, "Uncle, it's not that I don't help, but this thing has no bullets at all."

Seeing that Ling Tao didn't look like a fake, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

In the countryside, farmers grow grain, most of the food that can't be eaten will be sold, but as a farmer, no matter what, they will leave a year's ration and pile it in their own granary, and the villagers of Zhoujia Village gather here when they don't have time to carry the grain, there are many animals in the countryside, and they can be said to be everywhere after mutation, and when these villages react and want to go back to get food, the animals have mutated to a certain climate, and it is extremely dangerous to get food at this time, especially if there is no strong firepower.

But hundreds of people gathered here, they had to consume every day, and they were about to run out of food, just when Ling Tao arrived, how could Uncle Zhou, who was anxious, not have the idea of hitting Ling Tao with his mind.

Looking at Uncle Zhou's helpless look, Ling Tao thought for a while and said: "Uncle, just now we walked all the way, and we didn't encounter any danger for hundreds of meters, why is it so difficult to go to each house to get food, so that so many people are helpless?"

After listening to Ling Tao's words, Uncle Zhou smiled bitterly: "The well just now is only 100 meters away from here, and there is a road, there must be no danger, but you may not know that in the countryside, which family does not raise a few chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows and other livestock, and there must be animals such as mice in the place where the grain is stored.

Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, his heart was like this, he used to live in the city, and thought that the livestock were all from the farm, but he didn't expect that every household in the countryside raised these things, and now the animals are mutated, in the countryside, it can be said that every family is a monster nest, no wonder hundreds of people gathered in the school but helpless.

"So that's the case, what can I do", Ling Tao frowned, there was nothing he could do.

Uncle Zhou smiled bitterly again: "Not only can the grain of each family not be obtained, but the grain that has matured in the field cannot be harvested, and the fruit trees on the mountain cannot be picked, if it continues like this, the grain that has been planted for a year may be ruined like this, I took the risk of going out to see the situation today, I never thought I met you, hey, forget it, I'll think of a way."

Knowing the predicament of Zhoujia Village, Ling Tao was also helpless, after all, they were all bare-handed peasants, if there was an armed force, where would he be so helpless, no matter what mutated creatures he was, just give him a surprise.

"Grandpa Zhuzi, it's not good, they're fighting", at this time, a childish voice sounded anxiously, and then a half-old little kid ran in in a hurry.......
