Chapter 202: The Lock-up of the Small Town
After Cheng Yifeng's hypnosis was lifted, it seems that he still retains a little sequelae, that is, to conscientiously implement my previous order - to protect Shangguan Li!
This small sequelae recurred at this time, Shangguan Li had long been used to it, at first he would feel that his self-esteem was frustrated, and he wanted to prove that he was not weak, but Cheng Yifeng smashed him into a big tree and almost broke his arm bone, and Cheng Yifeng then knocked down the tree.
After that, Shangguan Li was silently sad for a while, of course, he was also recuperating from his injuries, although his arm bones were not fractured, but there were still bone cracks, and now he was Cheng Yifeng his personal bodyguard, and the problem of the strong and the weak was selectively forgotten, and I have to say that Ah Q's spirit helped him a lot.
I appreciate Cheng Yifeng's style of doing things, simple and rude, effective, well, in fact, when I saw the elegant and calm Shangguan Li, who was afraid that Cheng Yifeng would do something unexpected, the kind of tangled expression mixed with decadence made the evil factor in my heart very excited.
"It's okay, there is strength in numbers." I smiled and nodded.
Hu Tao, Zhou Li, Li Huaiqing, Zheng Chao, Gao Yan, Shangguan Li and Cheng Yifeng, my eyes swept over the seven people one by one, their ability levels are between B and C, but the advantage is that there are all kinds of abilities, there are attacks, reconnaissance, communications, and defense, and they should be enough to deal with ordinary bandits and the armed forces of other camps.
As long as you don't run into more than two Grade A abilities, or a large army with a large number of people, I will hand over the teleportation egg to Hu Tao, once they get out of the small city, they have to figure out their own way.
At the end of the meeting, they each went back to pack their things, and Shangguan said to me before leaving: "Everyone is an adult who has gone through the storm, don't treat everyone as children, we will be careful." ”
I waved at him and wished him a smooth journey, knowing in my heart that he was right, that I took it as my responsibility to the town and the survivors, and always wanted to protect them as much as possible, forgetting that they were all older than me, and that they were adults with independent thoughts, opinions, and how to survive.
I took a deep breath, spit it out again, first walked around the town, and then accompanied my parents to grow vegetables.
Hu Tao used the ability of grass and trees to plant several fruit forests in the small city, and usually fruit trees take three to five years to bear fruit, and many fruit trees are not suitable for planting in the north.
Peach trees generally bear fruit in three years, so almost all of Hu Tao's planting are peach trees, as well as a few persimmon trees, which are expected to bear fruit by the end of this summer.
My mother said that she made canned peaches and persimmons into persimmons for easy preservation, and she also planted strawberries in a greenhouse to make jam.
The mutant beasts are too fierce, Long Tao and Zheng Chao have tried a few times before, and found that they can't be domesticated at all, even the poultry such as chickens and ducks have become 'giant beasts', if they go crazy, the town will definitely be made by them, so we can't raise livestock like before.
The impact of mutation on the entire ecosystem has not yet been revealed, and perhaps animals are too busy with their own evolution to do anything else.
Occasionally, I would chat with other people, such as Xiao Han, who was getting healthier and healthier day by day under the care of Grandpa Han, and he was also very puzzled after hearing about Qiao Tang.
We have discussed several possibilities that cause Qiao Tang's abnormal behavior, and the most reliable one is that Qiao Tang discovered the big secret of the source stone, which he didn't want anyone to know, or rather, he couldn't let others know.
And the person who knows this secret must die, which explains why he killed the same group of researchers, otherwise it would be more convenient and time-saving for him to escape alone with the data.
But if that's the case, is Qiao Tang himself still alive? Will he kill himself too? What about the information? Are they all destroyed?
I asked Xiao Han where Qiao Tang might go, and if there was a place that he thought was absolutely safe and suitable for hiding under special circumstances.
Xiao Han said that Qiao Tang is a science madman, since he was in college, he has taken the laboratory as his home, and the dormitory is just a place to sleep, and his love for meteorites is almost fanatical, and he can't wait to sleep with a big meteorite.
Such people basically can't make friends, and there is no time for entertainment and leisure, Xiao Han is a junior in the same major, and he has crossed paths with him in schoolwork, and has common hobbies, so he communicates more than others.
"He's a genius." Xiao Han said such a sentence with great sighs.
I was leaning under a peach tree, thinking about the solution or the unsolvable problem in my head, when I suddenly heard the sound of a text being read aloud.
turned around and looked outside the peach forest, and saw Xiang Yiyi holding a blackboard at the edge of the forest, Wang Qi and Cao Baoyang sitting on a small bench, listening carefully to Xiang Yiyi reading the text.
Xiang Yiyi's face only had a focused look, the despair when he first came, the strength he pretended to be under Gu Yu's persuasion, and the relief and grief after learning that Bai Junyang was safe, all fell silent.
It was the calm that life had condensed after a thousand tempers, and she would go out of town every morning to exercise for two hours, take care of her vegetable garden in the morning, and teach the two little ones to read and write in the afternoon.
She became silent, but I knew that she was not dead, just waiting, waiting for Bai Junyang to come to her and tell her that everything was settled.
It's not that it's not unbrave to wait, on the contrary, it takes more courage, patience and perseverance, and I admit that I can't be as steady as a rock like her.
Ye Lei, Xia Jinyan, Cong Tianyi, Liu Bai, Li Duo and Wang Yuanzheng went out to hunt every day according to their shifts, and the rest of the people were responsible for the safety of the small city, so I don't have to worry about this.
After watching the children study for a while, they taught and learned very seriously, and I was afraid of disturbing them, so I quietly left the peach forest.
As soon as I walked to the river, I saw Mei Lin and Lin Ruoshi arguing, the two of them were of the same age, their voices were as crisp as silver bells and yellow orioles, and they were very nice when they quarreled, like two little birds fighting their beaks.
What should I do if I suddenly feel old? I looked embarrassed, and wanted to take a detour to avoid them, but I was a step too late, and was discovered by a good sister of Lin Ruoshi and called out to stop me.
I can't do it now, I can only walk over hard, and the disputes between women are the most troublesome, oh, except for me, because now I like to use force to settle disputes, and if I can do it, don't quarrel.
"Sang Rou, you come to judge the reasoning, we do the laundry first, everything comes first and comes first, vicious competition is not good!" The tall girl who found me was stuck in her waist and was very imposing.
I glanced at the basket in Zhang Jianing's hand, which was full of baskets of clothes, but obviously it wasn't hers, the clothes I looked familiar with, recalled it a little, and remembered that this was Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan's clothes.
Mei Lin's eyes widened, and she also pulled up her waist and pointed at the girl and said, "Who robbed you of your business!" Jiajia is helping a friend do laundry, what does it have to do with you? ”
After speaking, she looked at me again, and asked angrily with a small face: "Sang Rou, helping friends is also called robbing business?" ”
People on both sides looked at me, and before I could speak, the big-eyed girl on Lin Ruoshi's side made another difficulty: "What kind of help, once or twice to call for help, every time I asked her to wash, and gave her a lot of food as a reward, what is the difference between this and doing business?" ”
Before the end of the world, food is called favor, after the end of the world, food is the most common currency, if you have to say that Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan paid Zhang Jianing compensation, it also makes sense.
But I don't think Lin Ruoshi and they will deliberately embarrass Zhang Jianing because of the loss of one or two customers, unless these two customers are very important, or Zhang Jianing offended Lin Ruoshi and them elsewhere.
"Phew, what and how much friends want to give, what you look at is friendship, who is like you, you only have money in your eyes, a group of snobs!" Mei Lin raised her voice, like a scrappy little chicken.
"That's a nice thing to say, bullshit friendship, since I knew that she was washing people's clothes, several people have gone to her side, who knows if she relied on other skills to pull people over."
This is very difficult to hear, Zhang Jianing is the most taboo about this, his face suddenly turned pale, I decided to say a few fair words, but Mei Lin slapped him in the face.
Although Mei Lin is petite, her combat power is not weak at all, her body is dexterous and agile, and she slapped the woman who spoke disrespectfully.
It is estimated that her heart is exclaiming at the moment: what a fast movement!
Lin Ruoshi looked at me as if asking for help, she didn't say a word just now, and now her face is full of grievances, the lesson from last time doesn't seem to be serious enough, doesn't she realize that it's useless to pretend to be pitiful in front of me?
"Stop!" I spoke sternly when Lin Ruoshi's partner was about to rush up to scratch Mei Lin.
The woman who had been slapped looked at me with tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged, and I glanced at her coldly and said, "Do you have proof?" If such rumors are fabricated without evidence or evidence, the beating will be light. ”
Maybe my eyes were too cold, the woman lowered her gaze and no longer looked at me, I turned to Lin Ruoshi and smiled gently: "Although you can't engage in vicious competition, it's not appropriate to monopolize, the hotel waiter can still collect tips, let's take a step back and say, even if Zhang Jianing wants to open a laundry room, customers are willing to pay more, and she is popular." What's more, she doesn't need to tell this lie, friends are friends, and a harmonious society is the most important, are you right or not? ”
Lin Ruoshi smiled reluctantly: "Yes, we don't mean anything else, we just heard that Sister Zhang is going to open a laundry room, come and ask if it's true, if it's true, we will come to the river to wash clothes together in the future, and we will be very happy." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, okay, let's disperse." I patted Lin Ruoshi on the shoulder and felt her body tremble.
The lesson from the last time should have been effective, after that she was a little scared when she saw me, no matter how calm she was, but as soon as I touched her, she would subconsciously tremble.
I heard a low muttering from Lin Ruoshi's small team, which was nothing more than complaints such as 'bias', 'what's the big deal', and 'ugly people are weird'.
I straightened my face, my eyes like a yin wind blowing up from a bottomless pit, sweeping their eyes one by one, "If you don't want to stay, get out." ”
Lin Ruoshi shrank obviously, she took the lead and ran away with the basket, and her partners didn't dare to look at me anymore, I knew that it was impossible to convince them completely, whether it was my appearance, figure or charm as a woman, I was not as good as them, and I was not worthy of being Gu Yu's woman at all, and in their opinion, strong combat effectiveness was synonymous with pure masters, so I didn't need them to obey me, I just needed them to be afraid of me, and they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
