Chapter 562: The Age of Doom (13)
After coming out of Commander Ma's family, Locke went to find Zhang Ling, and there were not many people in this plane who could make him worry.
Zhang Ling has been a lot haggard in the past two months, her hair is also a little yellow, there is a shortage of water and food in the camp, and the distribution is carried out according to demand, and every time she fetches water, she has to send a battalion of troops to escort the water team to the river, and it is difficult to drink water, how can there be extra water for people to wash.
It is only the privileged class of Commander Ma's family that will have additional food and water supplies.
Zhang Ling has a lot of light from Locke, if she wants to wash or eat better, it will definitely meet her requirements, but this is her own a little decadent.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, Zhangcun also suffered, the mutant living dead aside, every household in Zhangcun has a tradition of raising livestock, mutated chickens, mutated cows, mutated sheep and other monsters, overnight from herbivores, into bloodthirsty beasts, slaughtered Zhang Village inside and out.
Just a few days after the good days of Zhang Village, it suffered such a catastrophe, which is embarrassing.
Under Zhang Ling's begging, Locke flew to Zhangcun two months ago, and the ending was similar to what he expected, the entire Zhangcun was in ruins, and the mutant beasts were leisurely spreading joy on the ruins of Zhangcun.
However, it was not completely without gain, Locke went in time, and found some survivors under the cellars of every house in the village.
Among them is Zhang Ling's youngest sister.
The little girl is only seven years old this year, just when she was in the village elementary school, when Locke rescued her, the poor child had been starving in the cellar for two days, if it wasn't for Locke to pour her a low-level energy potion, Zhang Ling might have to lose her last relative.
"Cheer up, your sister still needs you to feed! Go, cook me some food. "Locke's voice contains some of the mental power concussion techniques.
This sentence made Zhang Ling's distracted eyes recover a little.
Now the only thing that can motivate her is this sister, if there is no Zhang Ling's fifth sister still alive, this woman may not be able to find a short-term view.
Not only Zhang Ling, but also the more than 2,000 ordinary people who have been rescued by the army one after another, there is also this kind of pessimism, family affection, love, this is a problem that no emotional creature can escape.
The suppressed pain and resentment of the human beings on the earth who have lost their relatives and lovers, Locke sees it in his eyes and feels it in his heart.
Locke couldn't help but think of the initiator of the outbreak of the apocalypse, the will of the plane.
With the passage of time, the feeling in the darkness that his heart called for him became stronger and stronger, what did the plane will want him to do in the navel of the world.
A week ago, Locke's negative energy fusion bead reacted slightly, and its direction was in the South Pole, so Locke couldn't wait to leave Wuxiang and go out.
After all, he is just a passerby, and the struggle between the indigenous humans of this plane and the will of the plane has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and they will continue to fight in the future.
Whether the will of the plane will win and wipe out all humanity in the apocalypse, or whether humanity will rise again in the wasteland and stand on top of the world, it is none of Locke's business, and returning home is what he desires most.
Locke's appetite was still great, and his spatial ring seemed to be endless, pulling out the same ingredients and cooking utensils, and even a small diesel generator.
The rumbling of the generator began to sound in Zhang Ling's tent, and Zhang Ling lit the induction cooker to make Locke his favorite hot pot.
"Little girl, come, come here, eat hot pot together. Locke beckoned to Zhang Ling's fifth sister who was studying on a corner table.
Locke, who is in his forties, has no heirs so far, and has a special care for Zhang Ling's fifth sister from the elders to the younger generations.
The adults were all dragged out to work, and the children were no exception, doing what they could, and Commander Ma made the best use of the labor available in the battalion.
Of course, Zhang Ling's fifth sister doesn't have to risk going out to work, she is too young, Zhang Ling wants her to study, she wants her to read, Zhang Ling has not forgotten what she went out to work at the age of fourteen.
Even if the end times come, it will definitely be good to learn a little more.
"Let her finish her homework first, don't rush. Zhang Ling's hair was soaked a little by the fragrant hot pot heat, and she pulled her hair aside and said.
The homework was left by Ma Xiaoxiao, and this girl has nothing to do now, because she has a deep sisterhood with Zhang Ling, and is responsible for the teaching of this little girl.
There are no textbooks or anything, Ma Xiaoxiao is teaching the little girl to read now.
The meal was quickly cooked, and the three of them sat together like a family.
Locke picked a piece of fat meat and put it on the little girl's plate, "Eat more meat, see how thin you are." ”
Zhang Ling's fifth sister is called Zhang Ni, and like Zhang Ling, she is very thin now.
"Thank you, brother-in-law. The little girl said obediently.
Locke and Zhang Ling pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend to return to Zhang Village, and the Zhang family had already regarded Locke as their son-in-law, and this little girl was also under the influence of her parents, brothers and sisters, and she was quite skilled in calling Locke her brother-in-law.
However, Zhang Ling knew that Ma Xiaoxiao was interesting to Locke, and the number one person in the entire military camp was Ma Xiaoxiao's father, so Zhang Ling usually strictly asked the little girl not to call Locke her brother-in-law in front of outsiders, especially in front of her 'temporary teacher' Ma Xiaoxiao.
It's only like this, when there are only three of them eating together, the little girl can speak freely.
Swallowing another piece of sausage, Locke said to Zhang Ling, "You can send your sister to Zhang Yi to study, I see that your sister seems to have a little cultivation qualification." ”
Zhang Ling's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Really?"
"Well, but the qualifications can only be counted. Locke nodded.
The cultivation system of this plane attaches great importance to the qualifications of qi practitioners, and the degree of rigor is close to the screening of magicians in the wizarding world.
"Let her learn some Taoism, and she can also have two more skills to survive in this world. Zhang Ling said in a low voice.
This matter is settled, without Locke's appearance, Zhang Ling's own face is enough for Zhang Yan to accept this apprentice.
It's a pity that this plane human natives are not the same creatures as the humans of the wizarding world, strictly speaking, everyone is a 'humanoid' creature, but they look similar on the outside, but they are very different on the inside.
For example, the spine of ordinary humans in the wizarding world is made up of thirty-two vertebrae, while the human spine of the earth plane is made up of thirty-three vertebrae.
Humans in the wizarding world have wide and solid bones, and humans in the earth plane have thin and tight bones.
This is only one of the differences, and more differences are reflected in the meridians, blood composition, internal organs, etc.
This is what Locke discovered when he first came to this plane.
Otherwise, Locke would like to teach the Eagle Fighting Spirit directly to Zhang Ling and the others to save their lives. The requirements for the cultivation of knights' fighting spirit are much lower, and most people have the qualifications to learn.
After eating enough from Zhang Ling, Locke thought about it, put down a low-level potion to improve his physique, and then got up to leave.
"Don't give it all to your sister, she hasn't grown up yet, and she can't withstand too much medicine, this is mainly for you. Before leaving, Locke, who was very familiar with Zhang Ling's personality, did not forget to remind.
Zhang Ling's physique is not suitable for cultivation, and there is no way to cultivate Dou Qi, Locke can only use this method to improve her physique and give her more self-protection ability.
In the last week, Locke could not live in peace, Commander Ma seemed to want to squeeze out his last value, he had to lead a regiment today to rush to transport food from a grain station thirty kilometers away from Wuxiang.
The New Year has passed, it is now the middle of February, Jin Province is in the north of China, it is still quite cold here, the population of Wuxiang is increasing, and the corresponding food consumption is also increasing, and the grain station must be taken, so that Commander Ma dares to guarantee that in the next three months, there will be no starvation to death.
The quality of the weapons of the accompanying regiment has also dropped significantly compared to two months ago, with only two magazines per person, three tanks and five armored vehicles.
Not only food must be considered, but the exhaustion of weapons and ammunition requires Commander Ma and his think tank to boil their heads.
In fact, what is more lacking is oil, whether it is tanks or armored vehicles, all oil tigers, Commander Ma has hinted at Locke more than once, asking him to help get some oil.
Locke is not a saint, how can he do his best for this group of indigenous people, he is now basically willing to do Commander Ma a favor every few days.
In return, Commander Ma marked almost all the military bases in Jin Province for Locke, and even the military bases in Ji Province next door were also marked by him......
Locke now has seven ICBMs and three atomic missiles in the Space Ring...... He wanted hydrogen bombs even more, but there was no military base in Jin Province for this thing, and Commander Ma had vaguely told him to let him go to a large province in northwest China to have a look.
(Pure will, brothers, rational book review, don't let me eat the blade.) )
Commander Ma is so interesting, Locke also has to repay a little, every time he gives him the task given to him by Commander Ma, he completes it beautifully.
Locke, dressed in crimson volcanic salamander leather armor, stood on the tank, "How far is that grain station?"
Surrounded by fragments of the limbs of the living dead.
Seeing the regiment commander who made a move in front of him, he swallowed his saliva, tore open the map, glanced at it, and said, "There are still five kilometers left, and that grain station is on a national highway outside the county seat." ”
According to Commander Ma's meaning, Locke cooperated with tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy weapons to stop the attacks of the living dead and mutant beasts, and bought the remaining soldiers half an hour to carry food.
Leave as soon as the grain is delivered, don't provoke the living dead in this county.
"Alright, let's go!" Locke jumped out of the tank and took the lead.
The Hellfire Giant was strongly requested by Commander Ma to stay in the Wuxiang military camp in case he was unprepared, and this mission required Locke to undertake it alone.
In Shangyuan City, on the third floor of a house in a demolition area, Dong Qing, who had just escaped death from the pursuit of the three living dead, took heavy steps and fled back to his nest.
"Bang bang!" A moment after the rhythmic knock on the door, the door finally opened, revealing two girls who looked like little dirty cats inside.
Dong Qing, who wanted to say something, just opened his mouth, his eyes were dark, and he fainted completely.
Xiao Ya and the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen, who reacted, immediately hurriedly pulled Dong Qing back into the room.
"Bang!" was the loud closing sound of the security door.
