Chapter 51: Cooperation (I)
"Stop! Who are you? Xiao Lan and a few evolutionaries stopped Ma Yafei and the five in front of the family building, looking at their pale yellow hair and silver eyes, Xiao Lan and the others felt that an invisible pressure was slowly eroding their hearts, and the long big sword they were carrying made this feeling even worse.
Ma Yafei smiled and said: "Hello, we are survivors who escaped from the opening base, we need a guide to take us to the various towns and villages on the edge of the county, of course, we will not let you work in vain, we will provide enough food for you as a reward." ”
Xiaolan looked at Ma Yafei vigilantly and asked, "What are you looking for a guide for?" Now that most of the township has been occupied by those monsters, I'm afraid that if a few of you go over, you won't be able to go back! ”
Sinan smiled and said, "Our strength can still deal with those low-level zombies, so many of you must need food!" Yesterday's heavy rain didn't last a few days, even if you harvested some food early, we can give you enough food for all of you for a month, and we promise to send the guide back safely. ”
Xiaolan was a little moved when she heard this, and even there were already a few people behind her who recommended themselves, but instead of agreeing, she asked, "What did you come all the way to kill those zombies?" And that mutated zombie, what did you take out of its head? ”
Ma Yafei suddenly realized and said: "This information plus food is used to hire one of you as a guide, so it will be beneficial to everyone, if you agree, I will immediately tell you what you want to know about the Dao, this information is even more useful than food for you!" ”
Xiaolan thought about it for a while and said to Wang Yu behind her: "You just work hard to be a guide for them!" ”
Wang Yu's eyes widened and he shouted, "Why am I going for it?" Xiaolan, Xiaolan'er, don't be angry, I know that I'm wrong, let others go this time! I'm an ordinary person, without your superpowers, I would definitely die if I went with me! ”
Careful Yu sat on Ma Yafei's shoulder and said, "This person can't do it!" He has never been to the countryside at all, he doesn't know anything about the surrounding towns and villages, and he doesn't even know how to show us the way! ”
Xiaolan frowned and said, "This little sister seems to be also a capable person, is it a mind reader?" ”
Ma Yafei nodded and said: "The girl can indeed read a little mind, don't worry, we have no ill will towards you, to be honest, with your strength, we can't stop us at all, even if we forcibly take away a person, you can't do anything about us." However, everyone is a survivor, and we are also trying to survive in the last days, and we really don't want to embarrass everyone. ”
The people behind Xiaolan were a little unhappy when they heard this, and they all glared at Ma Yafei with angry eyes, and they all had the potential to come up and clean him up.
Xiaolan thought for a moment and smiled: "A few visitors are guests, why don't you take a rest here first, give us a little time to discuss, rest assured that you won't have to wait for a long time." ”
Be careful with the pragmatic spiritual connection and tell Ma Yafei that Xiaolan didn't have any bad intentions, but just wanted to discuss it with a few people behind her.
Ma Yafei nodded and said, "Okay, but you'd better hurry up, we're actually in a hurry." ”
The five of them followed Xiaolan into the family building, and there were almost no people living in this building, from the white-haired old man to the child who had just been born, and when Ma Yafei and a few people came up, they were watched again, and some even shouted boldly: "Are you foreigners?" ”
Ma Yafei didn't reply, Xiaolan exhaled and shouted: "This is our friend, don't gather around here, go back and prepare!" Those who are going to harvest crops this afternoon should keep their strength, and don't hold everyone back when the time comes! ”…,
"Don't worry! Lan. We've been ready for a long time! ”
"Yes! Everyone has been working hard this time, just waiting for the eldest sister's first order! ”
"Xiaolan, our old guys are still very strong! Take us along to help this time! Others may not work, but we are old at harvesting wheat! ”
Xiaolan smiled: "Uncle, the tasks of you are heavier than ours!" You are the backbone of our stay! Let a few of you go with you, and the ones who stay on guard will blame me for robbing them!" ”
Everyone laughed, several old people also smiled and shook their heads, Xiaolan glanced at Ma Yafei and the five people, turned around and took them up to the fifth floor, found a vacant room for them to rest first, and left with people.
Flora looked around the room and said, "The people here are much better than I expected. The man named Xiaolan was a good leader. ”
Divi immediately said, "Yes! It's much better than someone who is a leader but doesn't have the consciousness of a leader! ”
Sinan frowned and said, "Sister Divi, your poisonous tongue skill has increased!" However, now that his leadership skills are good, don't talk about him anymore. I just thought to tell you that although we have decided to clean up the surrounding towns, this is not something that can be done in a day or two, so I think it would be best to maintain a good relationship with the people here, and if we can form an alliance. ”
Ma Yafei thought for a while and immediately understood what Sinan meant and said: "What do you mean is that even if you find a guide, you don't have to be the kind of person who knows all the towns and villages very well, that is to say, it is likely that a few or even a dozen people will act as guides, and we will also take a period of time to clean up the surrounding towns, right?" ”
Sinan nodded and said, "That's right, we can make an agreement with the people here, they send people to be our guides every day, as long as they are responsible for taking us to various towns and villages, and we can provide them with food and water." I just found out that the people here are not very bad, seeing that they are all red-faced, maybe food and water are not particularly scarce, and Xiaolan said in front of us that they will go out in the afternoon to grab food, in fact, to show us that they are not short of food. ”
Flora wondered, "Since they are not short of food, why would they put us here?" The girl said that they didn't have bad intentions, and that shouldn't be a problem. ”
Divi said: "They're probably taking a fancy to our strength. ”
Sinan nodded and said, "That's right!" From the moment we met, the woman named Xiaolan gave me a feeling as if she had seen through her, her ability was probably the ability of perception, she said that she was going to harvest food this afternoon, first, to show that they were not very short of food, second, to say that they still need food reserves, and third, I am afraid that she also wanted us to help together. ”
Ma Yafei frowned and said, "If we help them this time, Xiaolan can determine whether we have malicious intentions towards them, and we can also see how strong we are." ”
Sinan smiled: "But that's not all, if Xiaolan is a perceptual ability, she should have a rough estimate of our strength, and confirming strength is only one aspect." Don't forget that she is also the leader of these survivors, and if we can help them collect food this time, then next time they want to go to the hospital to get medicine, we can't shirk it. ”
Careful Yu frowned and asked, "Do adults think about so many things?" People just think about it for a while and feel that it's so troublesome, let's just borrow someone as a guide, is it necessary to make it so complicated? ”
Sinan patted his cautious head and smiled: "These are all things that I have speculated based on the current situation, and they are things that may happen according to the meaning expressed by Xiaolan." However, the specific situation will not be known until they have discussed it, after all, we are only guests now, and the initiative is still on the master's side. ”
Ma Yafei summed it up and said: "Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that we do need to stay here for a while, and Xiaolan's attitude can see that she is not hostile to us, so cooperation should be feasible." Speaking of which, they went to collect food, and if they asked for our help, we could also help them clean up the infected monsters. ”
"This has two advantages, one is that we have a friendly attitude, so that they will feel comfortable sending someone to lead the way for us; The second is that the number of people they dispatched must not be small, and the total number of people in this place is about 500 people, although it is not as good as the opening base, but it can be regarded as a lot of people. Then there will definitely be more than 100 people dispatched, and so many people will definitely attract a lot of zombies and even mutant beasts to attack, then we can hunt those zombies and mutant beasts, and we are not a waste of time. ”
