"Gollum."
In the kitchen of the villa, the water boiled, and Liu Fang swirled the tender shrimp meat into the pot one by one, which was firmer than beef.
A stream of fragrant bone broth base smell came out of the pot, Chen Li, who was helping beside her, put the soaked mushrooms, seaweed, and dried winter melon into it one by one, and after a while, a pot of the most sumptuous main dishes came out of the pot, Liu Minying, Xu Xiu, Xu Yunyun, and Zhang Yuan came over together to bring several side dishes to the table together with the main dishes.
Then they returned to the kitchen, pushed Zhang Yuan out to accompany her, and one of them held a bowl and watched the strange man eat with her husband.
His temperament seems to be incompatible with the end times, like a pilgrim.
"Brother Ming, I'll pour Mr. a glass of wine."
Zhang Yuan sat next to Li Ming, and saw that the wine on the table had not been opened, so he hurriedly took the initiative to disassemble the wine, stood up and said to Li Ming carefully.
Li Ming didn't speak, nodded with a smile, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly poured a glass in front of Li Dingguo with a smile.
"Now the end of the world, there is nothing good at home, only a prawn caught by Brother Ming, which is relatively simple, don't be surprised."
After pouring the wine, Zhang Yuan sat back in his position, and said with a smile on his lips.
Li Dingguo shook his head helplessly: "Now is a world of natural disasters, and some of them are already good to eat, not to mention such a rich table, how can it be called simple, Mrs. said?" ”
"I saw that you looked serious, sir, and I thought I was dissatisfied, didn't I mean to laugh a little."
Although Li Dingguo looked helpless, there was a sense of relaxed and lively atmosphere between his words, and Zhang Yuan couldn't help but say something boldly when he heard him call his wife happy.
"I am..."
Li Dingguo shook his head, he had to swallow the words, Li Ming laughed, and teased Zhang Yuan beside him with a smile: "Wife, I made a bet with him just now to put a bottle of wine on my table, if you take the initiative to open it to toast him, then he will drink it, and live next door tonight, if you don't dare to open it, then don't drink it tonight so as not to delay the trip and travel the world." ”
"You're here, and sure enough, the wine is opened, and he has to drink it now, hahaha."
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but complain when she heard Li Ming's words: "Husband, why are you playing such a boring bet with a guest, is it possible that if I am afraid of life, I dare not pour him wine, and let the family leave again so late today?" ”
Why such a boring bet?
Li Ming glanced at Li Dingguo, who shook his head with a smile, smiled frankly, and then ate and drank happily with him.
Zhang Yuan also smiled and accompanied her, since Li Ming called out his wife in front of the guests, she didn't know how much she liked it, and happiness was also on her face, and she played very well at the wine table, even if there were only three people, she didn't feel bored.
It wasn't until the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed the five flavors that she left satisfied, and together they packed up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the kitchen.
"Although I can stay here overnight, it is inconvenient for you to have a female dependent at home, so it is better to go next door."
Li Ming wanted to leave Li Dingguo to rest in the living room on the first floor, but the other party shook his head and insisted on going to the villa next door.
Li Dingguo nodded, sat down on the bed, and motioned for Li Ming to go by himself.
Li Ming smiled, walked out of the villa road, and let out a sigh of relief, he looked at the sunset, and a sense of amazement suddenly rose in his heart that he didn't know where the road was.
But then he looked at the women waiting for him to go back at the door of his villa opposite, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Having the company of beautiful women and enjoying yourself, isn't this what you are pursuing?
"The road, at your feet."
Li Ming stretched his waist freely, and immediately remembered the seriousness of the zombie tide impacting the villa area, and strode into the [third from right] villa.
"Brother Ming."
"Brother Ming."
The villa was already full of people, although Li Ming ate quickly, but still not as fast as this group of workers, when he arrived, these people had already rested for a while.
Seeing Li Ming coming, everyone got up to say hello, and Chen Qiang and Zhou Cheng walked to his side.
"Have you all arrived?"
Li Ming looked left and right, then looked at Chen Qiang and Zhou Cheng and asked.
"The people on the front and rear watchtowers didn't arrive, the patrol didn't arrive, everyone else arrived."
Chen Qiang hurriedly spoke, and Li Ming shook his head: "Immediately ride the battery car and let them all come over, and everyone should listen together." ”
Zhou Cheng and Chen Qiang were stunned when they heard Li Ming's tone, and then nodded hurriedly, listening to what Li Ming said urgently, they didn't care about asking others to go over directly by themselves, and rode left and right to call people separately.
Zhou Cheng and Chen Qiang left, Li Ming's expression was calm, and the others didn't dare to speak when they saw his expression, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
After a while, several electric vehicles rode from both sides, and more than a dozen people hurriedly got out of the car and merged into the crowd.
"Brother Ming, the person has arrived."
Chen Qiang and Zhou Cheng walked to Li Ming's side and spoke respectfully, Li Ming nodded, and they also stood in the crowd.
"I called you here today because I urgently knew something, before I talked about it, I want to ask, do you not know where the underground parking lot of the villa area is?"
When Li Ming saw that everyone had arrived, he directly raised his voice and spoke, and the people around him looked at each other, but no one made a sound.
"Okay, since we all know it, it will save trouble, tomorrow, maybe, there will be a large gathering place of semi-official organizations to attack and subdue us here, when the artillery fire is in the sky, the sound is very likely to cause a zombie tide, in order to avoid us also encountering the invasion of zombies here, everyone should do three things before going to bed tonight."
Li Ming looked around, deliberately emphasized the two words maybe, and then said loudly: "First of all, everyone should go and strengthen the defense of our villa area before dark, make all sides strong, and try to keep possible zombies out." ”
"Second, be prepared to survive in the underground garage for a week, even if someone really comes to recover, I don't know how long it will take, in short, the preparation is sufficient, no matter how long we will be on vacation, everyone has a good rest in the underground garage."
"Third, after the underground garage is ready for survival, make concerted efforts to build the garage entrance neatly, block it well, take sufficient and strict protective measures, and be prepared to face the impact of corpses."
"Zhou Cheng, Chen Qiang, the two of you will take the man to do a good job of protecting the surroundings of the villa, stuff the car in the forest passage, and don't go fishing first, the exits of the villa area are blocked."
After Li Ming finished talking about the three things, he directly called Zhou Cheng and Chen Qiang out to do something, and the two hurriedly nodded vigorously.
"Liu Li, you command the woman, and prepare all the things that we need to prepare to survive in the underground garage, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all well considered, what things must be in place, understand?"
After instructing Zhou Cheng and Chen Qiang, Li Ming looked at Liu Li again, and in the hesitant and stunned expressions of the surrounding crowd, Liu Li hurriedly shouted yes.
"The women took everything to the underground garage directly after they were ready, and the men built the defenses of the villa, first checked whether there were any gaps in the supplies, and after confirmation, they were ready, and closed the entrance after breakfast tomorrow morning."
With the notification of the news, the people in the gathering place seemed to be in a trance, Li Ming loudly pulled them back to their senses, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Chen Qiang and Zhou Cheng, and the two immediately walked out and directly pulled people to start acting.
"Sisters, first divide the teams according to the time of work, go back to their respective places, bring all the coverings and everything, find a good place to live in the underground parking lot first, and then come back to get food."
Liu Li also shouted to drive the crowd up, Li Ming saw that everything was ordered, and there was nothing abnormal, so he nodded, let Liu Li get busy, and he turned around and walked towards the [Seventh Left] villa.
"Master."
When they arrived at the [Seventh from Left] villa, the six maids hurriedly came over to say hello, but their expressions were already much more flexible than before, Li Ming guessed that the sequelae were slowly being smoothed out by the influence of constantly deliberately normalizing life, he smiled at them and nodded, causing the six maids to be happy for a while, and then looked at Yang Ruo, who hurriedly ran over, and told her about living in the underground garage.
"Alright, I'll take them with me."
Yang Ruo nodded hurriedly, and then waved his hand to let the six maids start to busy, packing up the bedding and getting ready.
"When you get to the underground garage, leave a good place, let my wives and Aunt Liu Fang, and Xiao Yinyin also have a place to live, and you live next to them."
Before leaving, Li Ming explained to Yang Ruo again, and only turned around to leave when he saw her nodding, he told a few women in the family when he was going to move to the underground garage first, but they were not in a hurry, and it would be the same when they moved in after breakfast tomorrow morning, so he didn't rush back to the room, but looked around.
It wasn't until he made sure that everything went smoothly that he returned to the [sixth from right] villa with a smile, found Li Dingguo, who was sitting cross-legged and resting, and asked him out for a spin.
The entire villa area was busy with Li Ming's arrangement, and there were people in action everywhere, and the two of them walked for a while, for Li Ming, this was a walk, and it was to pay attention to their work, so they dispersed until Zhou Cheng and they led people to block several entrances to the underground parking lot with various things, leaving only one nearby, and they were also prepared to block it.
And after making sure that the air circulation, the water source is stable, and there is a drainage channel, I put my mind at ease, and when I saw that the night was dark, I smiled and walked back with Li Dingguo.
"It's a good thing to have a big base calling, but there is one thing I have to remind you, at this time, can a big base really bring a good environment?"
Before the two separated, Li Dingguo suddenly said meaningfully to Li Ming, Li Ming was stunned, then nodded silently, said goodbye to him and returned to his villa.
"The Great Gathering Place."
Li Ming kept recalling all the information about this place in his heart, until he locked on to get Liu Minying, Zhao Sunwu said a sentence: In the big gathering place, manpower can be used as a resource transaction·
After thinking about it, he shook his head again, turned around and walked into the villa.
"Wives, are you ready to move to the underground garage?"
Li Ming came to the second floor to find the key to the RV, and did not forget to ask Zhang Yuan with a smile.
"It's all ready, but there is no electricity in the underground garage, and we can only make do with the alcohol stove and firewood for a while."
Chen Li on the second floor responded with a smile, Li Ming nodded, it's good to use it, and maybe one day will be fine, he chatted with a few more women, and then took the RV key and drove the RV that had been prepared for many days to the parking garage.
"When you're ready, you'll be all in tonight, but tomorrow you can eat out for breakfast, and everyone will live in after breakfast, and then close the door, and leave a walk-in in the dark to find someone to keep an eye on, don't open the door without my order, do you understand?"
On the way back, he met Zhou Cheng and Chen Qiang, Li Ming told them again, and when he saw the two nodding, he turned around and returned to his villa.
Before going to bed, because he was worried about tomorrow's situation, Li Ming rewarded himself fiercely in order to have a better state.
With the mutated shrimp meat, he is not afraid that they will not be able to move for a day, and the rain and dew are all in place.
In this way, it is very sweet to sleep.
Thinking about the changes that the arrival of the big gathering place might bring, Li Ming hugged Zhang Yuan and Xu Yunyun, who was reluctant to go back to the room, and slowly fell asleep.
Nights always pass quickly.
When Li Ming woke up leisurely, it was almost dawn outside, today was different from the past, he patted his ass early to wake up the girls one by one, and did not give them a chance to sleep, but considering that Liu Fang was old, he did not wake her up, but cooked it himself and cooked a large pot of lobster meat to let the women recover.
After washing up and breakfast was ready, Li Ming took a breakfast to the [sixth from right] villa to Li Dingguo, but found that he had already cleaned up.
"Leaving now?"
Seeing his state, Li Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Since you've served all the food, of course it's time to eat and leave."
Li Dingguo smiled, took the meal and sat down directly to eat, Li Ming shook his head and watched him eat silently, and when he finished eating, he sent him out of the villa area, watching him wave his hand away in the morning sun.
"Whew"
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, waited until Li Dingguo disappeared from sight, turned his head and walked to the [third from right] villa, so that everyone was ready after eating, and hurriedly went back, and returned to the villa to eliminate breakfast in a big gulp.
"Husband, shall we go now?"
When Li Ming was eating, Zhang Yuan and the others had already eaten in advance, and when he ate, all the big bags and small bags of things had been put on a few tricycles at the door, Zhang Yuan looked at him and wiped his mouth, and hurriedly asked.
"Well, let's go."
Shuangming patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, looked at Chaoyang and said seriously.
Although Zhao Sunwu said that it was not late at all in the afternoon, he would not be stupid enough to let everyone act at that time.
