The area of the bar is not large, there are only two buildings in total, one kitchen and one ward, which can be seen at a glance after entering the house.

There was a person lying on the hospital bed, after he heard the alarm, he quickly sat up, picked up the gun next to him, and when he saw the person clearly, the gun in his hand fell down: "Hi, boss." There was a little smile on his face, and the smile was full of bitterness, even hiding the surprise in his tone.

"Hi Xuedan, long time no see." Lin Wu smiled and pointed at the snow egg and said, "You have lost weight." ”

"Huh." Xue Dan laughed indescribably, reacted and greeted, "Sit down...... There's nowhere to sit, sorry. ”

Stone walked up to Xuedan and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" How did it get mixed up like this? ”

Xue Dan sighed again: "After experiencing it, I know that the reason why I can stay in hardcore mode is not because of how capable I am, but how capable everyone is." ”

The stone patted Xuedan's shoulder as a sign of comfort and asked, "What about the knife?" ”

Xuedan replied, "She went to find something to eat." ”

Stone opens his backpack and hands the prepared lunchbox to Yukidan. This ghost game, hunger is really hungry, and many people commit suicide because of hunger.

After leaving the Angel Alliance, Snow Egg and Knife searched for the farmstead base recommended by the system, but they lost their way on this plain due to the lack of clues. The truck was the same as Lin dreamed of, and they abandoned the truck in favor of a car that consumed less gas.

While driving, due to the fact that I didn't sleep well while camping last night, Xuedan, who was driving tired, was distracted and had a serious traffic accident. Xuedan broke both legs and lost 90% of his mobility. They repaired the car with the help of a few car repair kits, and luckily found a bar where they made a temporary home.

Even if there is a ward, it is impossible to cure Xuedan's fractures without a doctor, and the reason why the ward was built is because at least painkillers can be made from herbal medicine. The two are already planning to survive the last few days of the month and leave hardcore mode at the end of the month. It's just that it's hard to survive, the knife lacks experience in fishing and hunting, and there is no bonus to skills, so there is not much food that can be brought back every day, and sometimes even comes back empty-handed.

Knife feels that he is not doing well, and Xuedan thinks that he has failed to take the responsibility he should have shouldered, and is dragging Knife down. Life is depressing when both parties hold negative emotions. Although there was no quarrel, Xue Dan felt that it was better to have a quarrel. In the last two days, they have been bored with each other, and Xiaodao has gone out early and returned late, and there is almost no communication. It's really a boiling word.

Asking the location of the knife, the stone threw the jeep key to Lin Wu: "You go, Lin Meng will go too." ”

"Oh." Lin Wu raised his hand towards Xuedan and left.

……

On the left bank of the third river in the Great Farm Plain, downstream of the bridge, the knife stared intently at the surface of the water and drew his bow, and when he let go, the arrow with the string was shot into the water like an arrow without a tether. The knife sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled the arrow up, looked at the arrow, put the bow and arrow aside, and sat alone on the stone, holding his chin with both hands and looking at the water in a daze.

"Hey!" Long tone.

The knife turned his head and saw Lin Wu on the side of the road, he was very surprised, and blinked to confirm that it was true: "Lin Wu." "From surprise to grievance, it's just a few steps away.

Lin Wu grabbed Lin Meng's shoulder, pulled her in front of him, and stopped Xiaodao's hug: "Introduction, Lin Meng, Xiaodao." As a principled person, Lin Wu does not hug any woman who has a boyfriend, and also avoids physical contact with them.

The knife froze in place, and the grievances were held in his heart. However, it is definitely a good thing to be able to see Lin Wu again, and the knife immediately returned to normal and shook hands with Lin Meng: "It's good." ”

"Ha, I haven't seen you for many days, and I'm ripe." Lin Wu handed over his lunch.

The knife took it and opened it to see that it was rice balls and small fried meat. Lin Meng brought a folding table and three small stools from the trunk. The knife said repeatedly: "Thank you." ”

After sitting down, Xiaodao looked at Lin Wu while eating rice balls: "How did you come back?" ”

"Drive." Lin Wu refers to the Jeep.

"Haha." The knife sent laughter to Lin Wu's clumsy joke. Don't tell jokes, even if Lin Wu farts now, she can laugh. The longing and the changes in the past few months made her feel extremely cordial when she saw Lin Wu. Knife asked, "What about Maya?" ”

"I'm back, too." Lin Wudao.

Knife hesitated and asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Wu said: "A science man and a naïve girl, together they don't go to live in a crowded place, but stick to people, what do you think?" In the apocalyptic era, the most dangerous thing is people. ”

"Got it, long-winded." The knife remembered and said, "I know where the stone is." ”

Lin Wu: "I also know that he is bragging with Xuedan. ”

"Huh? Did you find the stones? Knife asked, "What about Shanna?" ”

"I found it too, but Dashuang and Cotton died."

"They're dead?" Knife was a little sad: "They are good people. ”

"Huh." Lin Wu expressed disbelief.

"I hate it, I'm a little conflicted with Cotton, but I never want her to die." Xiaodao put down the rice ball and said thoughtfully: "Now that I think about it, how big things have happened between me and Cotton, but I feel extremely wronged. Really, if you don't come out to accept the beating of society, you don't know the happiness you once had. ”

Lin Wu said: "Don't think like that, the shadow is not a good place, and the stone is not a good thing." I had to be there at the time, and I must have set the shadows on fire. ”

"Well, don't say that. I knew I was doing it wrong. ”

The two chatted, and Lin Meng didn't speak the whole time, just listened and watched on the side. She didn't know much about the story of the Shadows, and from today's point of view, the relationship between people and people is definitely not as simple as they express in words.

After eating lunch and drinking tea, the knife put away the two fish baskets, and then the two fish baskets were kicked away by Lin Wu: "We are high-grade people, and we can't afford to lose that person with such a rotten fish basket." ”

"I made it up." Xiaodao looked at the fish basket in the river and said to himself: "I made it up for two days, and I learned to weave the fish basket without a teacher." After saying that, he sat on the stool and cried. She wasn't sad about the loss of two fish baskets, she was grieved by the thought that she was forced to learn a trade, and maybe something else.

Xiao Da took off, Lin Wu squatted next to the knife to make a scissor hand, Xiao Da took a commemorative photo, and was so angry that the knife pushed him to the ground. Lin Wu stood up and slapped the dust: "Put away the tables and chairs, hurry up, hurry." "By the way, take back the small fight.

The three of them got into two cars, and Lin Wu connected the stones: "Old thing, pack up and leave, it's one o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Yes."

The two cars arrived at the bar, and Lin Wu got out of the car and helped Snow Egg get into the back seat of the jeep with Shishi. As soon as the car door opened, Lin Wu was stunned, the knife was changed to the co-pilot position, and he didn't turn his head to look at the snow egg. The stone asked Lin Wu to help with the water pipe to pump oil from the car, and Lin Wu went over to help and whispered, "There is a problem between the two of them." ”

Stone: "Don't be nosy. ”

"I don't care, I don't know how to deal with it, and I have to squat together in the car for hours."

Stone: "When I say nosy, I mean coping. , bah, the gasoline is terrible. "I didn't avoid it in time, and took a full puff into the tube.

The angry Lin Wu scolded his mother: "Gasoline is so expensive, how can you spit it out?" ”

The jeep can take just five people. As an old driver, Shi can completely remember the way he came, and of course Lin Wu has to raise the bar with him, saying that he will brag.

Knife asked, "Where are we going?" ”

"Go to the lumberyard." The stone glanced at the knife: "Why is it dirty?" It's a new car. ”

"Humph!" After humming, the knife remembered the answer the stone gave him, and asked with doubts: "Go to the lumberyard?" ”

"Go meet Starlight."

Knife nodded: "They should be doing well." ”

Shi said: "Starlight, this woman has real skills, she will definitely find a way to develop her own industry." But, hehe, but the focus is on its own industry. ”

Lin Wu sat in the middle of the back seat, extremely uncomfortable, but still insisted on raising the bar: "What you said is sour." Isn't Starlight's thought normal? Can working for a boss and starting your own business be two different things? ”

The stone said: "Sour your filaments." She was born in Rome and I have achieved much higher than hers. ”

Lin Wu: "She is younger than you, you have already half cut into the ground, what do you compare with other little girls." ”

Shi was furious: "Lin Meng, beat him for me." ”

Lin Meng stretched out two fingers and gently patted Lin Wu's shoulder, facing Lin Wu's angry eyes, Lin Meng was also very helpless to send me a smile, just forgive me.

Lin Wu glanced at her, forgave her, and looked at the back of the stone: "Stop and fight for a while." "Anyone in the car can hit it, but you can't hit the driver.

"Single-handed, single-handed, who is afraid of whom."

Stone and Lin Wu diluted the somewhat awkward atmosphere in the car, which was also the reason why neither of them could find a topic to talk to Xiaodao and Xuedan. There are a lot to say separately, put them together, and some words can't be asked.

The car returned to Route 99 the way it came. When the car reached the ramp, Lin Wu and Stone got out of the car to look at the Doomsday Fortress from a distance and mourned in silence.

When the jeep was still two kilometers away from the sawmill and the lumber yard, the stone pulled over: "You guys are waiting for me here." ”

Lin Wu asked, "What if you want to die outside?" We still have to use cars. ”

Lin Meng saw that the two were about to pinch up again, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, why?" ”

Shi Shi changed his face and said gently to Lin Meng: "Finding some people to ask for things requires threats, and finding some people to ask for things requires him to be ashamed." Lin Wu's position in the shadow was too strong, and taking him there was somewhat of a suspicion of moral coercion. ”

Lin Meng understood: "Do you want to deceive the other party?" ”

Shi smiled: "No, no, it's called deception between friends, it's called a means." Get out of the car and hold on to some snow eggs. "The use of means between friends and family can be called deception, based on the other party's trust and good impression of you. For non-friends and relatives, the way to achieve the end is the means, and it has nothing to do with deception, the basis is your ability. Why did you attack the circle of friends in the early years? Because he is not capable of doing anything to others.

Lin Meng set up the table and chairs, and the knife assisted Lin Wu to send the snow egg to the position, and asked, "Do you still have painkillers on your body?" "Every time you move when it comes to a broken bone, it triggers pain.

"Yes."

"Oh."

Now even Lin Meng feels a little embarrassed, what should I do? She saw that Lin Wu was looking at herself, and suddenly had a bad premonition, so she preemptively attacked: "Lin Wu, tell me the story of the lumberyard." "If you are one step late, you will be bullied, you are too witty, you must praise yourself for a box of shrimp biscuits at night.

Since there was a topic, Lin Wu didn't attack Lin Meng, and started from the hilltop church. During this period, Xiaodao and Xuedan will also supplement, telling some stories that Lin Wu doesn't know, and when it comes to happiness, the two of them will talk more. There are a lot of stories in this part, because back then, Lin Wu and Shanna, or Maya set up a branch base alone. Lin Wu only learned a lot of things today.

……

Before I knew it, the day was already west, and it took two hours of mixed stones to drive back: "Get in the car." The tone was calm and unclear about the situation.

Lin Wu got on the lane: "There is a pump factory in front. ”

"Used." Stone starts the vehicle: "Even the crossbow has been given away." Lin Wu, you're right, Xingguang really has some skills, and they have already moved the base to the sawmill. ”

Lin Wu was surprised: "Can't it?" The sawmill needs at least 5 people, they don't need to use such a large base, and the pressure on defense will be great in the future. ”

"Or say this girl has the ability."

Starlight's first asset is not a Highway Star, not an Outpost Card, but a repeater. She knew that Nightmare's temporary base was nearby, and she knew that Nightmare was desperate to get her repeater back, so she contacted Nightmare through the lumberyard's radio. How could Nightmare talk about business be Starlight's opponent, of course, for Nightmare, as long as he got the repeater, the price he paid was not too big.

Starlight walks to the Hilltop Church via the railroad, where only five players are left in and around due to train activity. Starlight recruits them all into the lumberyard. With the help of the nightmare, they captured the sawmill. Starlight walks to Kitakami Town again and takes a trip to the Invincible Base using the car provided by Nightmare. Recruit two more players, bringing the number of people in the sawmill to ten.

The sawmill base is under a command system, and Starlight appoints Emerald and Peanut as deputy commanders. In order to cope with the winter, they set up a nature farm in the east and west parking lots, raising hens and rabbits indoors. Due to the sawmill's capacity to produce building materials, their base facilities are now very complete.

The day before yesterday, they successfully completed a five-star defense of the city, and the morale was quite high, and everyone was in a good mood.

However, the sawmill is currently quite labor-intensive, first of all, the natural farm, which requires a lot of soil and daily watering. In order to stock up on winter food, their daily distribution of food does not fully meet the needs of everyone.

Secondly, in order to resist the severe cold, they went to the mountains and forests day and night to cut wood. Due to the lack of suitable means of transport and the avoidance of fuel waste, most of the logs have to be transported by hand. The sawmill is ventilated on all sides, with only a door to the north, and in the absence of winter clothing, fire is a guarantee of survival.
