Chapter 120: Acquaintances
Wanxing and Yaoyao came to the camp, the whole camp was brightly lit, and the rumbling sound of diesel generators sounded inside, and the originally unpleasant smell of oil in the air was so comfortable for Wanxing and Yaoyao to smell.
"Wanxing, do you smell the meat? Do you think they're cooking meat? Yaoyao's nose twitched and she kept swallowing her saliva.
"Well, it's just cooking meat." Wanxing held Yaoyao's hand, and his stomach was also protesting at this time.
As soon as the two of them walked to the gate of the camp, the team members with rifles on their backs came out and looked at the two impatiently: "I said why are you so slow to go back, this is your wife?" Have her come and register. ”
Yaoyao looked at this team member, he was wearing a clean and tidy military uniform, the rifle on his back was also polished, his face was ruddy, his eyes were firm, and he looked better than the personnel of most of the forces in the gathering place.
"Hello, big brother." Yaoyao brushed the hair around her ears with her hand, smiled with her chin in her mouth, and made a gesture that she thought was very charming.
"I said Wanxing, is your wife a fool, what's wrong with standing there and smirking?" The team members were not interested in the disheveled, unkempt woman in front of them.
Yaoyao: "......"
After logging in, the team members waved, turned around and walked to the camp, and muttered: "Let your woman wash up and come over for dinner......
"Eat...... Dine? Wondershare we also have food to eat? Yaoyao looked surprised, they were in time for dinner?
Wanxing was also surprised, didn't Captain Zeng say that the family had no food?
Despite his surprise, he grabbed the woman's hand, pushed her into a tent, and urged her to wash up.
In front of me was a steaming cauldron, buckets of white rice, and hundreds of people, men and women, young and old, all squatting on the ground and working hard.
"Wanxing, I'm not dreaming." Yaoyao covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.
"What's the problem, hurry up and eat, don't eat again." Wanxing gave Yaoyao a bowl of rice and squatted in front of her.
"Oh...... Whew, it's delicious. Yaoyao opened her mouth and ate violently.
"Here, eat some food, be careful not to choke." Wanxing gave Yaoyao the water hyacinth vegetables in his bowl, and he only ate white rice.
Zeng Degui staggered around the camp, and saw that these newcomers were eating deliciously, and said a few words from time to time: "You eat slowly, people who have been hungry for a long time should not eat so much...... By the way, what about you, that little man, don't ask for it if it falls to the ground, you see how dirty it is...... You must always remember that it is our convoy that gives you food and drink, and it is our strong brother. ”
The next day.
The weather near the river seemed to be a little cooler, and Zeng Qiang was woken up early in the morning by a team member, saying that there were many people coming from the riverside.
A kilometre from the camp, many poor people wandered along the river, searching for something.
"What are they doing here?" Zeng Qiang asked the team members around him curiously.
"Brother Qiang, these poor people come to the riverside to search for food, the tide rises by the river at night, and the tide recedes in the morning, and there will be a lot of fish left."
Zeng Qiang nodded, he also noticed that there was still a group of people standing there on the embankment, these people were of different ages, men and women, the clothes they wore were relatively clean and neat, and the complexion on their faces looked a little shinier, as if they had not suffered much hunger.
These people saw Zeng Qiang, saw him in a clean and straight military uniform, and ordered him to nod his head to show goodwill, fortunately, he and the team members around him were holding rifles in their hands, and if they had a gun in the last days, they would have face.
The actions of these people aroused Zeng Qiang's curiosity, and some of them were young or staring at the crowd by the river with fierce faces, communicating with each other.
An oilcloth lay on the ground, and a man not much stronger than he had ever shouted there.
Zeng Qiang walked in front of the shop curiously and took a look, thinking that it was a stall, but it was an open-air casino, and some people pressed things on it under the man's shouting.
There are bullets, there is food, and there are some things that are common before the end of the world, but rare after the end of the world, such as cigarettes, medicines, etc.
"This brother's eyes, you want to play?" The man who shouted saw Zeng Qiang pull him to sit down.
"How do you play?" Zeng Qiang didn't know why.
"You see those people by the river, there will be a water monster coming ashore in a while, let's bet on who is still alive and who will be eaten first......"
The man introduced the gameplay in detail, and he didn't notice that Zeng Qiang's gaze was getting colder and colder.
Zeng Qiang almost couldn't control the gun and came out to kill all these people, his face was cloudy, and it took a long time for him to let out a sulk, he was also very curious about these water monsters.
At this moment, a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the river, and a strange black fish with limbs jumped out of the water, and the crowd screamed and fled in all directions.
The strange fish jumped on the shore, showing its sharp fangs with a mouth, Zeng Qiang could fully see the appearance of this strange fish, if there were no extra limbs, it would be the same as the mullet (commonly known as the black fish) before the end of the world, but its size became the size of an ordinary earth dog.
Zeng Qiang stood with the group of well-dressed people next to him, numbly watching the ragged crowd on the shore fleeing for their lives.
The big monster fish has very short limbs, and it doesn't move quickly on the shore with its short limbs, but there are always some unlucky people who are pierced by its sharp fangs, or their necks are bitten off directly.
During the run, a woman fell. Before she could get up, a man rushed up from behind her, stepped on the woman's back and jumped forward.
The woman cried and fell to the ground, her terrible cry made Zeng Qiang's heart tighten, he gritted his teeth, his facial muscles collapsed tightly, and his temples on both sides bulged slightly, his eyes stared at the woman who fell to the ground without blinking, and he felt the butcher knife on his waist and pinched it into blue.
At this moment, the unlucky woman was finally caught up by the big black fish and bit her neck.
Zeng Qiang was deflated, he was not sure that he would face this strange fish alone, and the team members around him could not do it, because he had only seen this fish for the first time and did not know its habits.
In the chaotic crowd, a woman caught Zeng Qiang's attention, this woman was wearing a cyan sweatshirt, she didn't look very old, she wasn't pretty, and she even looked thinner than some of the people around her.
Of course, such an ordinary person would not attract Zeng Qiang's attention in general, mainly because her face was not panicked when she ran, but full of smiles.
The woman was laughing, she was still very smart, she happened to run in the middle of the crowd, she was not fast, but she was always ahead of some people's paces, she would stop for a moment while running and pick up the food that others had dropped, so she had a big bag in her hand.
