Chapter 78: The Beginning of the Stronghold

This remote village is small, with fewer than thirty households. But the good thing is that there are small benefits. The topography of this village is very ideal. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, there are only two exits, one in front and one in the back. This also solves the problem of garrisoning.

It only needs to build high walls at the entrance of the two villages according to the topography, and it is a natural castle. Moreover, not only does every house in the village have a well, but there is also a deep pool about ten meters wide in the northwest corner of the village, which also solves the problem of drinking water.

Lu Li and the three of them were arranged to a family in the middle of the village. This is an arrangement made by Liu Jing after learning that Yang Yuting and Di Yu are both strengthening human beings. Located in the middle of the village, no matter if there are zombies there, the two enhanced humans can rush to reinforcements in the shortest possible time.

After a lot of work, all the survivors moved into sheltered houses. Although it is very simple, it is better than eating and sleeping in the open. What made them even more excited was that they found a lot of food in the homes of these farmers.

Rice, freshly harvested rice, potatoes, peanuts and much more. There was even a hungry sow in a farmer's pigsty that was skinny and occasionally snorted.

The discovery of the sow, which was only skinny and bone-covered, immediately caused agitation among the survivors. Since the outbreak of the virus, widespread power outages have made it impossible to enter cold storage and other places where meat is stored. And the emergence of zombies has also blocked the passage of meat from other counties and cities.

For more than a month, let alone eating a piece of meat, I haven't even smelled the smell of meat. The sow immediately became a favorite in the eyes of the survivors. Everyone wants to have a bite of fragrant, oily pork.

Faced with the green eyes of many hungry wolves, the sow was immediately strictly protected by Liu Jing and others. Regardless, this sow is currently the only source of meat. For the sake of long-term consideration, Liu Jing organized manpower to take care of the starving sow, and at the same time sent more people to search for other livestock in all corners of the village. The news quickly gathered in Liu Jing's hands.

There were no signs of other domestic animals.

Liu Jing found Chen Ming, and after some discussion, decided to wait until the survivors had settled down, and then send someone to the nearby township veterinary station to find out if there were any surviving boar sperm for artificial breeding.

It's not a big hope, but it's a hope.

It was busy until the evening, when the survivors finally gave up their dream of eating a bite of meat and went home to eat. Liu Jing was not so easy. She arranged a qiē, and solemnly told Chen Ming to be optimistic about the sow, and then went to find Yang Yuting and the others.

Entering the door, it happened that Di Yu was about to enter the house with a basin of well water. When he saw Liu Jing coming in, he grinned, embarrassedly gestured to the basin in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Sister Liu Jing, you sit down first. I sent this basin of water to Xiaoting. ”

"Wait."

Liu Jing stopped Di Yu. She took out a packet of antipyretic medicine from her pocket and stuffed it into Di Yu's hand, and said with a smile: "Take it." What is needed to open your mouth. ”

"Thank you, Sister Liu Jing."

Di Yu grinned and walked into the house with a basin of water. The family's standard of living is clearly a cut above the rest of the village. In the living room, there is not only an old-fashioned color TV, but also a refrigerator. Of course, none of these appliances worked.

Liu Jing followed in, and at first glance, she saw a chair and candle lit in the bedroom with the door wide open. Under the candlelight, Yang Yuting carefully changed a towel for Lu Li that had just been soaked in cold well water.

"He hasn't had a fever yet?"

She walked into the bedroom. Di Yu sighed with a sad face and shook his head: "At least forty degrees, it's hot." ”

"So high."

Liu Jing was taken aback. She thought about it for a while, and immediately turned around and walked out of the room: "I'll go to the village to look for it again and see if there is any medicine." ”

……

A few days later, peace was restored in the village. There was a reassuring smile on everyone's face. None of them were idle, with a serene smile on their faces, busy sorting out the various crops they had collected from the fields outside. In total, one of the qiē is restored to normal.

But Lu Li's situation is still bad. Yang Yuting tried her best to reduce fever with the assistance of Liu Jing. But it still couldn't make Lu Li's body temperature drop even one more degree.

Di Yu also did his best for this. He searched all the pharmacies in the nearby towns and brought back all kinds of medicines. But none of them could make Lu Li's fever subdue and wake up from his coma.

He thought about going back to the hospital to find Chrissy. But he didn't dare. He had seen firsthand how terrifying those zombies were under the command of that evolved zombie. He didn't want to go through that scene again. He could only comfort himself silently in his heart and cheer himself up one by one.

"Wait, when they are all gone, I'll go back to Chrissy to save Brother Lu."

That's two weeks. Two weeks of comfortable life allowed the survivors to temporarily forget about the dangers of the outside world. They have learned how to handle crops and even how to cook rice.

Under the organization of Chen Ming and Liu Jing, the ripe rice in the fields outside the village was harvested, and then it was turned into rice and stored in the zài granary. Their harvest is abundant. In addition to a large amount of white rice, there are also a large number of potatoes, greens, peanuts and other crops. At least for half a year, there will be no shortage of food.

On this morning, Liu Jing inspected Quanquan Village as usual, and came to the house where Lu Li and the three of them lived. As soon as she entered, she hadn't spoken. Di Yu had already preemptively said it.

"Brother Lu hasn't woken up yet, but the fever seems to have subsided a little. Sometimes he hummed twice. Looks like I'm about to wake up. ”

"You little ghost."

Liu Jing glanced at him with disgust, crying and laughing. Di Yu smiled: "Sister Liu Jing, you ask these questions every time you come." I said it in advance, wouldn't you save your effort? ”

"I won't tell you. Xiaoting is still in the house? ”

Liu Jing walked into the house and saw Yang Yuting standing by the bed, changing into another wet towel for Lu Li. She sighed in her heart and walked over. She picked up the towel that had been placed on the basin and pressed it into the cold well water.

"Don't worry. He's an empowered human, not an ordinary person like me. He can make it. ”

She just wanted to comfort the little girl. Unexpectedly, Yang Yuting cried with a wow. She threw herself into Liu Jing's arms and sobbed.

"Sister Liu Jing, I didn't let Xiaoyu sue you. He was bitten by a zombie before he fell into a coma with a fever. I'm so scared. I don't know if he'll ever wake up. ”

At this time, Di Yu walked in with his head drooping. He barely squeezed out a smile and tried his best to justify: "It's none of Xiaoting's business. I'm not a child. I want to say that Xiaoting can't stop me. Again...... Besides, Brother Lu, he will be fine. The virus didn't do much to him. It's true. ”

Liu Jing didn't speak, just was silent. She stroked Yang Yuting's hair in her arms, and glanced at Di Yu angrily: "Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?" ”

"I ......"

Di Yu stuck out his tongue and looked at Yang Yuting in Liu Jing's arms. When Liu Jing saw it, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I also said that I don't care about Xiaoting." I think you're afraid that Xiaoting will ignore you. ”

Facing Liu Jing's ridicule, Di Yu's face turned red. He still denied it with a hard mouth: "No...... No way. I am me and she is her. How could I be afraid of her? Ignore me, and I can't miss a piece of meat. ”

At this time, Yang Yuting suddenly sat up straight. Di Yu was startled and hurriedly remedied: "Ha...... Haha, I'm kidding Sister Liu Jing......"

He was only halfway through his words, and he immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach. He threw himself in front of the bed with a look of surprise on his face, and he was so excited that he snot and tears.

"Brother Lu, you're finally awake."

Liu Jing was startled and hurriedly looked at Lu Li. Sure enough, Lu Li struggled in a daze, as if he wanted to sit up. His eyes were still closed, but at least he moved, not lying like a dead man like he had done a few days ago.

"I'm going to make some porridge. Take care of him. ”

With that, she hurried out of the room and headed for the kitchen. Not long after she left, Lu Li barely opened his eyes. He saw clearly that he was in an unfamiliar environment, and immediately sat up.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, we've escaped."

Di Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, lest Lu Li, who had finally woken up, fall headlong and fall into a coma again. Lu Li reluctantly raised his head and looked around, and asked weakly.

"This ...... Where is this? ”

"A small village."

Di Yu sat at the head of the bed and pressed his shoulders against Lu Li. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "But I don't know how far this is from City A." We've been walking for a long time anyway to get here. ”

"It's fine."

Lu Li tried to move and leaned against the wall: "Just escape." ”

The room soon became quiet. Di Yu didn't know what to do, so he had to support Lu Li, so that he wouldn't fall down. Yang Yuting also regained her previous silence, lowered her head to soak the towel, and then silently wiped Lu Li's forehead.

Lu Li closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, but his thoughts flew to Chrissy and the others in the hospital. He didn't know if the zombie riot had broken through the hospital building. He was worried about Chrissy's safety. Just then, he suddenly heard some strange sounds. He was stunned and opened his eyes.

Di Yu and Yang Yuting were still very quiet, busy with their respective work. He frowned slightly and looked out of the room suspiciously. There was no one outside either. The crackling of firewood in the kitchen could be heard very clearly.

He listened carefully for a while, finding nothing unusual, and couldn't help but laugh and close his eyes again. As soon as I closed my eyes, those strange sounds reappeared. And this time, he vaguely recognized these strange voices, as if someone was talking.

He was startled and hurriedly opened his eyes. But the situation remains. Except for Di Yu and Yang Yuting, he dared to be sure that there would definitely be no one within a radius of ten meters...... You have to count Liu Jing, who is boiling porridge in the kitchen.

"What's going on?"

Lu Xuan was suspicious, frowning and groaning. Suddenly, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Immediately after, he heard a man's voice.

"Xiaojing, go and help, the zombies are coming."
