Chapter 201: Meeting by the River
Gu Yu's worry was clearly written on his face, I don't know how I could ask such a question, with Gu Yu's person, even if the gatekeeper is poisoned and will die, he will not use him as a human sacrifice to take the battle.
And I knew what he was thinking, but I still asked it, not only did I ask, but I also wanted to do that, which made me feel panicked.
I didn't object to Gu Yu's decision, and the two of them hid some information from my parents and Long Tao as agreed before, and only said that they would go to the vicinity of the security zone to reconnoiter and monitor.
But unexpectedly, Gu Yu's plan was disrupted by an incident, just seven days later, the night before we were about to go out, Ah Ying came to knock on my door in a panic and said that Nini was missing.
She was holding a note and a map in her hand, the note was signed by Jiang Yongling, his injuries were almost healed, but he actually kidnapped Nini and wanted to blackmail Gu Yu to go to the location circled on the map.
The two of us found Gu Yu together, he read the note and the map, called Long Tao out, several people in the cafeteria to study countermeasures, Long Tao was so angry that he jumped to his feet, he always suspected that there was something wrong with the gatekeeper, at this time he said that he knew that the old guy would be a moth, and now he knows his true face!
I know about the gatekeeper, Gu Yu still has something to hide from us, I'm not the kind of person who has to have all the information about my boyfriend, no matter how close the two get along, they are also independent individuals, what he doesn't want to say, I won't force him, many things are forced to ask and voluntarily say that it is a completely different concept.
I don't like to be pressured, so I don't want to put pressure on the person I care about the most, I know very well what kind of person Gu Yu is, if he thinks he should say it, he won't hide it from me.
Nini's disappearance, Gu Yu must have been very anxious, Ah Ying also blamed herself, saying that he shouldn't have left Nini alone in the room, I comforted her and said that it was none of her business, the purpose of the gatekeeper was to ask Gu Yu to go to that place, and he left a note and a map, indicating that he had been prepared.
Now that the wood is in the boat, it is useless to say anything else, Gu Yu is not a person who can't bear things, he picked out a few things that are not used on land with the equipment he is going to go to the island, and directly stuffed the map into his pocket, asking Long Tao to go with him.
I didn't expect him to take me, I was immediately anxious, Gu Yu said that Nini was a prophet, and she did not make a prediction about this incident, indicating that the situation was not serious.
So let me stay in the small town to spend more time with my parents, he has such a good reason every time, I can't object at all, but my heart is still depressed.
He had something to hide from me, and he had his reasons, but he wanted to go to danger and didn't take me with him, telling me how not to be depressed, and my intuition told me that something might happen to him when he went out.
But thinking about it, I didn't take him with me when I went to Bai Junyang's zombie base, and the double standard didn't seem to be good, so I dissipated the depression in my heart, sorted out my backpack and threw it to Long Tao.
It's not easy to worry about my lover, and the morning after Gu Yu left, I found a bunch of things to do for myself, first of all, the ability level is to find out.
Knowing the information of the existing combat effectiveness can make it easier for me to command and dispatch when I encounter an accident, perhaps because I have never been a leader, I like to do everything myself, and the result is that I often run outside, but ignore the people and things in the small town.
The early summer sun is not so hot, and in the early morning, it is even more golden, green and fragrant, which is a suitable weather for the meeting.
As my little secretary, Ah Ying stood at the head of the room and used a loudspeaker to inform people everywhere to go to the river for a meeting.
If you have an ability, report the type and level of the ability, and if you don't have the ability, report the main work content or what craft you are good at.
I saw that the average survivor was a little nervous, so I reassured me and said don't worry, I just did a survey so that I could assign tasks according to ability.
Ah Ying recorded the contents of the report in a notebook, and then showed it to me, I glanced over everyone's faces after reading it, and finally asked, who would like to participate in an exploration operation.
Then I explained to the crowd that the target was a cave with a bottomless pit underneath, and there might be an ore underneath that could help some people improve their abilities.
I have always been thinking about the cave that Ye Lei mentioned, if there is a source stone below, Long Tao and Hu Tao will not have to drill into the deep mountains and old forests all day long.
"Let's talk about it first, there may be extraordinary dangers down there, everyone is willing, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go, do what you can."
Everyone looked at each other, there are six high-level zombies here who really inherit my bloodline, there are eight in total, Long Tao left with Gu Yu, Nini was kidnapped by the gatekeeper, and the remaining six are all here.
The first to raise his hand was Cao Baoyang, who was originally standing next to Ah Ying holding the horn for her, but now he suddenly raised a hand and said that he was going.
There were a few chuckles from the crowd, and I wondered if I could understand what I meant, so I smiled at him and said no, children can't go.
After the corpse tide, the survivors in the small town knew that Cao Baoyang's ability was to turn people into objects, and a man persuaded him that his ability was not aggressive, and if he went to the field to catch insects today, he would make a swing on the old tree by the river.
Cao Baoyang was unmoved, insisted on going out to carry out the injury, and said that a manly husband should take protecting the family and defending the country as his thoughts, and he didn't know who would accompany him with such high sentiments when I was away.
Being interrupted by the little guy, the atmosphere became relaxed, I had a little headache, such a serious matter, why is it like a joke under my auspices?
Cao Baoyang raised his head, Liu Bai and Xia Jinyan also joined in the fun, Liu Bai forgot it, Xia Jinyan knew how dangerous the cave was, and he actually followed suit.
Most people don't know what the source stone is, and Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan, the two people who exchanged their lives for a piece, actually don't know its true purpose.
I popularized science to everyone, saying that this ore is only effective for a few people, and pointed out Hu Tao's names one by one.
"I just thought, if you find the source stone mine, you don't have to drill into the mountains twice in three days, there are not so many mutant beasts with abilities, but you can make your own decisions about this matter."
I then mentioned a few more things, all about the construction of small towns, because of the small number of people we have, and not all of us know how to farm, so the current planting and maintenance of grain and vegetables is carried out on a rotational basis.
A group of people allocated seeds, a group of people watered, food was distributed according to work, and the people who caught the meat could keep the bulk of the meat and divide a small part to confiscate it, or they could exchange meat for vegetables and potatoes and corn.
In a small camp of less than 100 people, the standard of exchange of goods is not fine, and everyone has lived together for a long time, so they don't care so much about each other.
In order to get a variety of food before winter, the progress of building the outer fortifications was extremely slow, which was something that could not be helped, and if there was a lack of large lifting equipment, it would still not be fast if it was all human, even with the help of the supernatural.
After chatting with everyone about food for a while, the outlook is good for the time being, and as long as no one comes to destroy it halfway, this autumn's harvest should be very good.
Hu Tao dug a large storage room under the hotel, and placed several rows of freezers against the wall, in which confiscated meat was frozen.
There are also more than 20 baskets of eggs and birds' eggs in the storeroom, which are the kind of large baskets that fruit growers harvest when they harvest fruit, and each egg is the size of a volleyball.
There are so many pickle jars that you have to press one by one, I don't know how many there are, Hu Tao has been in charge of the logistics work, and with the increase in personnel, Gu Yu arranged two assistants for him, including my mother.
Those who have moved out of the hotel and have independent houses can build another storage room or cellar, and although they are people in a camp, they have to live by themselves with the door closed.
Since Lin Ruoshi became seriously ill, she has become much more honest, no longer going to Gu Yu, and opened a 'laundry room' with her little sister.
There are more men and fewer women in the small town, and after a busy day's work, after dinner, they would rather sleep in sweaty clothes than run to the river to wash their clothes.
Lin Ruoshi sees business opportunities, there is no shortage of business in the laundry room, and laundry detergent is easier to find than food, and you can find a lot of it in large and small cities, but there is a girl in Lin Ruoshi's sister group who can make handmade soap, she writes down the materials she needs, such as alcohol, alkali, beakers and other things, and gives them to the people who search for supplies, and if they can find them, they will bring them back, as for animal fat, there are them in the small town.
When the existing materials are exhausted sooner or later, this girl's method is indeed feasible, of course, it is estimated that they can also see it, if they want to gain a foothold in the small city, they can't just rely on their young beauty, they must first stand on their own.
The use of the washing machine needs a generator, they don't have this capital for the time being, a few young ladies who originally had ten fingers, painted with various colors of nail polish, and only knew how to discuss how to take care of their skin all day long, now have to squat by the river every day to scrub clothes, and finally look like a working people.
The town is like a machine that has been running, as long as the power is uninterrupted and not damaged by external forces, there are no problems that I need to solve for a while.
After the collective meeting was disbanded, several people gathered around me for a small meeting, Zheng Chao, Zhou Li, Li Huaiqing, Hu Tao, and Shangguan Li did not leave, and Cao Baoyang also refused to leave.
Gao Yan held Hu Tao's arm, what this woman was thinking, I'm afraid no one knows, Hu Tao trusts her very much, I can't figure out how she did it.
She was the first to speak, and before she could walk up to me, she raised her voice and said, "If Hu Tao goes, I will go too." ”
I looked at Hu Tao and wanted to hear what he meant, but Hu Tao stared at his hand, looked up and said, "I'll go, the level of this grass and tree spring ability is too low, I want to strive for more food in the autumn." ”
Hu Tao took off his camouflage and put on the clothes of ordinary people, with that honest and honest appearance, he looked very much like a peasant.
I looked at the vegetable fields on both sides of the riverbank, and the eggplant racks and tomato racks were full of fresh green leaves, which had already bloomed and would bear fruit in a few days.
"I won't go with you this time, it's very dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared." I say.
"It's okay, a few of us often team up to hunt, and we have a tacit understanding." Hu Tao patted Zheng Chao's back and said.
Zhou Li's clairvoyance and Li Huaiqing's brainwave communication are both strength skills when hunting outside, I nodded, turned my gaze to Shangguan Li, and said, "Don't go, your ability is estimated to be useless." ”
Shangguan Li shook his head: "I want to exercise myself, this is my choice." ”
"I'll go too, protect him." Cheng Yifeng's voice sounded from beside me.
