Chapter 12: The Church Sanctuary

Long Fei observed the surrounding environment, although it was a little remote, it was clean. After turning on the radiation scanning function of his glasses and confirming that there was no nuclear radiation here, he was relieved.

He carefully helped Dr. Wang to sit down and helped him take off his protective suit. Then he examined the wound on his back and was shocked to find a large red blister. It was quiet, except for Dr. Wang's feeble moaning.

He took out the kettle, put the spout to Dr. Wang's mouth, and said, "Drink some water." Dr. Wang was in a trance, his brows twitched, he stretched his neck slightly, and leaned towards the spout.

He hurriedly fed Dr. Wang water to drink, and if he could drink water, it meant that he could take medicine. So he took off the small medical bag from his waist and found some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to feed Dr. Wang.

Long Fei understood that these drugs only served as pain relief and anti-inflammatory for the wound. If you want to recover, you can only rely on quiet cultivation and let the residual nuclear radiation in your body slowly dissipate.

After a while, Jones walked back, holding a handful of dried seaweed in his hand, and said, "This can relieve the symptoms of nuclear radiation, just eat it." ”

After Long Fei thanked him, he took the seaweed and took a small bite. After confirming that there is no problem, tear up the seaweed, put it in a water cup, soak it in water to soften, and feed it to Dr. Wang.

Jones sighed and said, "When he gets better, you guys can get out of here!" ”

Long Fei asked with some confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry to drive us away?" ”

Jones hesitated, stopped talking, and lingered for a while before he said, "We can't help it, it's already an exception to let you in." ”

Long Fei saw that the other party had something unspeakable, but if they were allowed to leave, where should they go? Not to mention Dr. Wang's current situation.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Seeing that your life is so difficult, maybe I can help." ”

A twinkle in Jones' eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind to drive them away.

Just as Jones was about to leave, a little boy came up and said in a milky voice, "Daddy, I'm hungry, I want to eat." ”

Jones squatted down, touched the little boy's head, and said kindly, "When your Uncle Kim comes back and brings the food back, we can eat." ”

The little boy asked curiously, "When will Uncle Kim come back?" ”

Jones was stunned for a moment, paused for a moment, and then continued: "As long as you are obedient, he will be back soon." ”

The little boy said happily, "Well, I must be obedient!" ”

Long Fei listened quietly to their father and son chatting, and when he saw Jones preparing to leave with the little boy, he stopped Jones and said, "You lack food here?" My companion and I shot down a lot of mutant seagulls on the way here, I don't know if we can eat them? ”

The little boy shouted at Jones in excitement, "Daddy, I want meat!" ”

Jones looked at the little boy with an excited face, as if he had made up his mind, raised his head and said to Long Fei: "Of course you can eat it, is what you said true?" ”

Long Fei was secretly happy in his heart, but replied with a serious face: "Of course it's true, it's less than 10 kilometers away from here, I can take you over, about a hundred or so, all of them are fatter than chickens." ”

Jones no longer hesitated, and quickly selected more than 20 young adults, each brought a large woven bag, and asked them to follow Long Fei to bring back the food.

After Long Fei said goodbye to Jones, he set off with the young adults.

When I opened the door, I saw that everyone was waiting outside, and I looked a little anxious.

He comforted everyone and said, "Dr. Wang is fine, he has already taken medicine, and he is now recuperating." Come with me, let's go and bring back the mutated seagulls for dinner. ”

"Good!" When everyone heard that Dr. Wang was fine, and seeing that Long Fei was also safe and sound, their anxiety eased.

At this time, Long Fei found that Feng Wu was staring at him, revealing a concerned look. So he smiled and nodded at her, reassuring her.

Long Fei took the lead in running quickly, and everyone lined up in a long snake formation to follow, and soon reached the destination.

Most of the mutated seagulls on the ground are still there, and it is estimated that a lot of them have been taken away by wild beasts. There are also some carnivorous beasts around, eating mutated seagulls in place unscrupulously.

The crowd drew their melee weapons, took out the beasts with a few slashes, and then let the young men all pack them into woven bags and take them away.

These mutant seagulls are no smaller than ordinary chickens, plus more than a dozen wild dogs and other beasts, and more than 20 young and middle-aged woven bags are bulging. There are still a few beasts that can't fit it, and they are reluctant to throw it away, so they carry it directly on their shoulders. The red blood stained the woven bag, and it kept flowing out, dripping on the ground, and no one cared.

Seeing that everyone was packing up, Long Fei didn't stop for a moment, and rushed back directly with everyone.

Back at the door, everyone was blocked again, and only the dragon was allowed to fly in.

Long Fei had no choice but to comfort everyone and ask everyone to wait patiently for a while, and he went to Jones to discuss the matter.

The people of the shelter cheered happily when they saw more than 20 young adults returning with a full load, making the entire shelter boiling, but only Long Fei was sullen.

He walked straight up to Jones and asked, "I've come back with so much food, can't I still gain your trust?" ”

Jones said in a deep voice: "We also have a hard time. About twenty years ago, when my father, Jones Sr., was the head of the town. He was a kind-hearted and beloved leader. One day, several people came, and they said that they had not eaten in days, and begged us to take them in. When my father saw that they were holding each other and looking crumbling, he took them in compassion and took them in. ”

When Jones said this, his face suddenly showed anger: "Who knew that that night, they quietly opened the gate and let dozens of robbers in, it turned out that they were all robbers in disguise." When the robbers came in, they not only robbed us of our food, but also killed anyone they saw. In order to protect everyone, my father led the guards to fight to the death against the robbers, and finally drove the robbers away. But my father, he was killed by robbers! It was his kindness that killed him! ”

By this time, Jones's face was already full of tears, and he was a little choked up. It took a while for his mood to settle down, and he continued: "On that day, 36 people were killed by robbers, including my father. Later, they elected me as the leader in my father's place. In order not to let the tragedy happen again, I haven't let an outsider in since. He looked at Long Fei, sighed again, and said, "Except for you!" I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. But I can't be so merciless as to let an innocent person die here because of my selfishness. ”

Long Fei was a little moved after hearing this, he could understand Jones's approach. In fact, deep down in Jones's heart, he is as kind as his father.

He comforted Jones and said, "Good people will be rewarded after all!" Trust that your father is watching you from heaven right now. And those damned robbers will definitely go to hell! Jones looked at him, his face full of relief.

In fact, Long Fei does not believe that there is heaven or hell, but he also hopes that those good people who are treated unfairly will be rewarded.

Jones said with some shame: "I didn't tell you this until now, and I was forced to do it. I can only do this for the sake of everyone's safety, even if I don't know you yet. Seeing that you are willing to bring us food, I decided to reveal the truth. Because in this world, the most precious thing is food. People can do anything to get food. In fact, we have always had a shortage of food here. Seeing that you are well-dressed and well-armed, you will not come to steal our food, so I dare to let you in. ”

Long Fei had just arrived on land and didn't know much about the situation here. So he asked, "I saw all kinds of wild beasts everywhere on the road, and you have so many weapons, why don't you hunt wild beasts for food?" ”

Jones explained: "Actually, there are no bullets for those weapons, and now bullets are just as precious as food, and with bullets, you can hunt, you can get food." Now there are fewer and fewer bullets on the continent, most of them are remade from old bullets and cartridge casings, and they are expensive. ”

Long Fei wondered, "If you don't have bullets, how can you get food?" I think there are four or five hundred people here, to say the least. ”

Jones did not hide it, and continued to reply: "We have planted large fields of wheat next to us, and have placed a large number of traps, and we have often sent people out to hunt and go to the sea. But as soon as the wheat is ripe, it will be eaten by wild boars and hares. And now the animals are more and more cunning, and the traps can catch less and less prey. Hunting and going to sea are at the risk of their lives, and often people go out and never come back. So now the food here is getting more and more tight. ”

Long Fei expressed his understanding and said sincerely: "We came to the land this time because we want to live on the land. If you are willing to accept us, we will do our best to help everyone. ”

After hearing this, Jones began to hesitate again, and explained to Long Fei: "I can't make this decision, I can only listen to everyone's opinions." ”

As soon as Long Fei and Jones said this, they heard the commotion of the crowd not far away. It was different from the cheers just now, it was more like hearing some bad news, and the tone was full of nervousness and worry.

When he realized something was wrong, he asked aloud, "What the hell is going on?" ”

A voice in the crowd replied nervously, "I heard that the scouts from outside came back to report that a herd of beasts rushed towards this side along the bloodstains. If the beasts rush in here, we're all done! ”

Long Fei secretly said that it is not good, Feng Wu and they are still outside!

So he quickly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel.

ran to the entrance of the tunnel, only to find that the tunnel door in front of him had been closed, and more than a dozen people were guarding there in full gear.

Ignoring the men's resistance, he pushed the tunnel door open and rushed out, and then the tunnel door closed behind him.

As soon as he ran out of the hall, he saw smoke and dust billowing not far away, and I don't know what kind of beast it was, rushing towards the city wall.

Long Fei rushed to the big iron gate without stopping, and heard the anxious shouts of everyone outside: "Open the door quickly!" ”

He pulled the latch with all his might, let the people in, and when they had all come in, he quickly closed the latch.

As soon as the iron door was closed, I heard "Knock! Boom! Boom! The sound should be the sound of a beast hitting the iron door.

"It's really thrilling, it's over for everyone one step later!" Thinking of this, Long Fei was also a little afraid.

"Everyone, go up to the city wall and stop the beasts!" After saying that, he was the first to go up the city wall.

He looked under the city walls, and the so-called beast herd was a group of mutated rats about the size of piglets. Already dozens have arrived at the foot of the city walls and "squeak!" Creak! gnawed on the city walls.

Picking up his laser rifle, he shot at the mutant rats beneath the walls. The others followed the dragon and flew up the wall, and began to shoot wildly under the wall.

A group of mutant rats were attacked by such strong firepower that they quickly fell in large numbers, but there were still dozens more that continued to rush towards this side.

At this moment, under the city walls, "squeak!" Creak! The sound grew louder and louder, and the walls began to shake. And the mutant rats under the city walls have entered the shooting blind spot and cannot attack them.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and a large section of the city wall collapsed. Several people standing on this section of the city wall jumped to the side of the city wall.

Only Feng Wu was in the middle of the collapse of the city wall, with nowhere to go, Long Fei anxiously shouted: "Be careful! ”

Because the distance was too far, he had no choice but to watch Feng Wu fall directly downward.

The mutant rat that gnawed at the city wall stopped its movements, staring at Feng Wu as it was falling in the air, patiently waiting for her to fall to the ground.
