Volume 1: Stabilize the Waves, Chapter 28, The Prophet Lao Kong
Over time, the seasons begin to transition from the cool autumn to the cold winter. The morning sun rises later and later.
By the time Wei Lai and the three of them came down from the roof, the Yushan villagers who had been ready early in the morning had all come to the courtyard to gather.
Although there were more than 40 of them, they were able to carry very few. Except for the few things that were left, and what little food was left, nothing else was brought with him.
What is the concept of more than forty people?
Wei Lai remembers that when he was in junior high school, there were so many people in his class. At that time, a group activity could make the head teacher busy, not to mention that he was facing those murderous zombies outside.
And his results at that time were only less than the top. Unexpectedly, this transformation turned out to be the figure who walked in the front and took the lead.
Think about it, it's really a trick!
However, since he has already promised Old Man Kong, he naturally can't change his order every day. Not to mention that the old man spit a nail in one mouthful. But if he suddenly changed his mind at this time, he was really afraid that Old Man Kong would run over with a shovel and pat his head.
"Uncle Kong, are you all ready?" Wei looked at the crowd and pressed his temples that were a little painful and asked.
Compared with the two, the old man Kong, who was the initiator, was much more energetic.
This old guy was originally squatting at the gate with a shovel in his hand, but after seeing Wei Lai coming down from the roof, he immediately stood up with a big grin, and replied happily: "Little Wei, we are all ready here, just waiting for the three of you." ”
Although from now on, it is still unknown what dangers will be encountered along the way. But with Wei Lai here, at least the safety of the villagers in Yushan will be greatly improved, and it is not known how many times stronger than their own reckless running out.
And as the meritorious village chief who single-handedly contributed to this result, Old Man Kong was of course happy from the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately, Wei Lai had been giving himself psychological comfort for a long time last night, so he didn't show any unusual expressions. Just looked at the strong man who was standing beside Old Man Kong, and ordered according to the plan: "Your name is Shishi, right?" Follow me to the front. Gardenia... You and Li Wu Palace. ”
Li Wu had recovered his strength after a night's rest, and he honestly followed Gardenia and nodded solemnly.
However, the strong man named Stone was a little surprised, raised his hand and pointed to his face and asked, "Me?" ”
Wei Lai separated the crowd, patted the big shoulder of the stone after approaching, and replied with certainty: "Let's go, don't think about it, it's you!" ”
"Hey, whoever you say is whoever!" Without waiting for the stone to speak again, Old Man Kong opened the door with a big tooth. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, he suddenly grabbed his neck and dragged him back.
"What are you running around at such an age? Go back to the group and stay there. Wei Lai, who had a headache, put the frizzy old man Kong behind him, and confirmed again before going out: "I repeat Ang, when you leave this door, you have to obey the command of all actions, otherwise I don't care if you die." ”
Uh-huh!
Wei Lai's strength to lift Old Man Kong back with just one arm, coupled with this slightly threatening sentence, suddenly shocked a group of people in the courtyard nodded one after another.
"Let's go!"
After finally glancing at the group, Wei Lai finally waved his hand and gave the order to go. The sparse crowd immediately followed, and embarked on a journey to leave their homeland in order to survive.
………
As they moved farther and farther away from the city, the surrounding area gradually became less obstructed by houses, and the view became more and more open.
The land on both sides of the road is green, and crops that are already more than ten centimeters tall are growing vigorously.
It was the winter wheat that the nearby villagers planted for the coming year, but no one could water and fertilize it and reap the fruits of their labor.
On the dilapidated highway with no end in sight, a group of people looked like the migrating refugees, all dirty. Basically, every few steps forward, they would raise their heads and scan their surroundings, and the nervousness on their faces was palpable.
Although these people looked frightened one by one, after noticing the green seedlings in the field, there would always be a trace of distress in their eyes.
"Hey, it's because of those shitty days. Now it is not only people who have sinned, but also the crops of the field that have been blinded. Old man Kong followed behind Wei Lai, looked at the fields around him and cursed with red eyes.
"Where the hell did this damn thing come from?"
"Isn't this pure life?"
“……”
Wei Lai listened to Old Man Kong's incessant thoughts behind him, but there was no sign of slowing down in the steps under his feet.
Young people of their age have long since given up the hard life of digging in the soil. Even if I help my family, I can't stay in the fields for a few days a year. Therefore, their feelings for the land are naturally different from those of Old Man Kong.
"I said, uncle, you don't have to say a word, we might as well take two quick steps with that kung fu!" Wei Lai didn't even reply before he stumbled crookedly.
The stubborn old man Kong only cared about walking with his head down, and he didn't mean to deal with Wei Lai at all. Still chattering in a whisper to himself: "It's so cold this winter, it's hard for us people!" ”
Smack!
When Wei Lai heard this, he froze in place, and the old man Kong, who was lowering his head and inking behind him, didn't pay attention at all, and hit his back with his big eyes open.
"How do you know it's going to be cold this winter?" Wei Lai turned around and asked suspiciously.
"Oh, my mother!" The old man Kong, who was shaken, almost sat on the ground, he rubbed his head with Venus in his eyes, and replied scoldingly: "I have been planting land for forty or fifty years, and I can't tell if it's cold in winter?" ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wei Lai resentfully, and continued in a convincing manner: "Wait, this winter will definitely reach the point of freezing to death." ”
That's going to be a bad thing!
Originally, after learning that zombies could evolve, Wei Lai's mood has been very depressed. Now Old Man Kong's analysis is tantamount to making matters worse for him.
The qualities have been enhanced, and the zombie monsters will only become more and more terrifying in the future. Coupled with the possibility of extreme cold weather, will this pedal horse still have their way to survive?
Wei Lai pondered the zombies and the changes in the weather for a while, and felt that their situation in the future was simply hell mode.
Under this double attack of physics and magic, I don't know how many people will die miserably here. I can't survive this cold winter anymore.
"How?" Old man Kong looked at Wei Lai in front of him and didn't speak, and he was no longer busy rubbing his forehead, and hurriedly asked nervously, "Another zombie is coming?" ”
"Nope!"
was interrupted by Old Man Kong like this, and Wei Lai no longer continued to think about those who had and didn't. After yelling at the team, he quickened his steps again. "Guquan Town is not far away, big guys, go faster. Let's have a good rest when it's time. ”
After all, for these people now, whether it's zombies or the cold, they have to stand aside. The main thing now is to find a safe place to stay as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you wander on the road so brightly, you will have to cause a big mess sooner or later.
Compared to the zombies that give people an incomparably headache, the only thing that can make Wei Lai feel a little relieved now is that these people are quite obedient and have not stood up to make trouble so far.
And because of their perennial work, their physical fitness is not bad, and no one shouted tired and asked for rest at this first afternoon. Even Old Man Kong, who is old, is still full of energy, and he walks with the wind step by step.
That brisk walking like a fly, once made Wei Lai feel that if his physical fitness had not been strengthened, I was afraid that his walking speed would not even be comparable to this old man.
In that case, I'm afraid he'll have to be as embarrassed as the guy at the back of the line.
……
"Whew... Call...... Whew..."
Li Wu's throat at this moment was like pulling a bellows, gulping for fresh air. But even so, it seems that I still feel that something is not enough, so I have to continue to increase the breathing rate, trying to make my lungs more comfortable.
"This guy... It won't be in... Play... Myself... Alone! "The staccato sounds very uncomfortable.
It's just a pity that the partner Wei Lai arranged for him is a gardenia who doesn't like words, so naturally he can't get any answer.
Only when he wanted to stop secretly would he cast an emotionless look from the front, staring at him so coldly that he didn't dare to leave the team.
"Kill me!"
The sad Li Wu saw that begging for mercy was useless, so he could only drag his footsteps that he could barely lift, rubbing the soles of his shoes against the road and staggering forward step by step.
……
At the front of the crowd, Wei Lai was looking sideways at the strong man beside him at this time, and asked with a very sincere attitude: "Brother, how old is this year?" ”
