C49 (1/2)
In the southwest direction of Gui Xian Town, 3.5 kilometers away, a country road meandered through three small hills. In the valley between the three hills, dozens of houses were scattered along the road, creating a serene countryside. However, it was still a little different from what people remembered, it was that the smoke that should have been there had long since disappeared, while the various vines with exuberant vitality had covered most of the houses. At the same time, large winter melons, pumpkins and other things could be vaguely seen lying in or hanging from the vines.
A pair of eyes flickered between the green and yellow leaves of a two-story building that was covered in vines as they vigilantly observed the back of a small hill to the east. At this moment, there were birds or groups of frightened birds that would occasionally fly out from the small hill one after another, and at the same time, there would also be the occasional sound of fighting and the howls of zombies.
The owner of these eyes was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His hair was a bit messy, and he was wearing a cheap casual outfit. He looked dirty and worn-out. He was barefoot. His dark right hand was tightly holding a two meter long steel pipe.
This man's surname was Kou Hua, he was originally the captain of the sixth squadron of the Mu She Village in the Mianyuan Town of the Mainland. He had survived the catastrophe last year, and there should have been more than a dozen survivors. In addition to the native zombies, the zombies that ran out of the city also joined the wandering ones. Although the rural zombies also wouldn't enter the room, the survivors were all trapped in their own homes. Food and water naturally became the problem.
But what could they do if they ran out? The lucky ones would be able to find some food, while the unlucky ones would naturally enter the stomachs of the zombies. Kou Guihua saw three people being captured by the zombies with his own eyes. What should he do? Kou was also a smart person. On the thirteenth day after the catastrophe, Kou broke through the wall of his neighbor's house and obtained considerable living supplies from the empty neighborhood. Then two days later he called his neighbor's house, and this time he found the surviving 12-year-old boy. After that, there would be no more, because only the three of them were connected.
What should he do next? Kou Guihua counted the supplies in his hands. There was no problem with the food. The two of them would not be able to finish the whole thing in a few years, because most people in the countryside liked to keep the harvested food in their homes. However, the key problem was water! Kou Guihua only started digging when the water in his house was almost finished, and he didn't find much water in his neighbor's house. Luckily, the little boy had a fish tank in his house, so he still had half a jar of water to feed the two of them for more than a month.
The immediate problem was not there, but what happened after that? Kou Guihua was naturally not a person who was waiting for the end of the world. What should he do then? Risk running out? What a joke, even if Kou Guihua were beaten to death, he wouldn't dare. After all, the scene of those three people being torn apart by a zombie was still fresh in his mind. Is there no other way? No, of course not. Kou Guihua's method was still to drill a hole. Of course, this time there was no wall to hit. Kou Guihua's method was to walk underground.
After spending 26 days, Kou Guihua led the little boy through a tunnel that was over 30 meters long. The tunnel led to the opposite side of the road, where there was only one family. It was the two-story building that Kou Guihua was currently staying at. As for why Kou Guihua wanted to stay as far away as possible and wanted to open up this lonely house, there was of course a reason. It was because this house had a well in the backyard!
After that, Kou connected to a courtyard about twenty meters to the right of his house. There were four families connected there, and Kou also found the third survivor of the sixth squadron, a forty-two-year-old woman named Zhu Ying.
After that, in half a year of time, Kou Guihua tried even harder and made a connection with 63 families in the entire company. The longest road was over 300 meters long, and at the same time, he also found two men, two women, and four survivors.
In the spring of the second year, Kou Guihua once again had a whim. He activated seven survivors and planted various types of vines and fruits (except for those that didn't have the necessary conditions) in the back of each house. He hid his living space among the green plants, increasing his safety while also eating all kinds of delicious fruits.
Kou Guihua was not the only one who noticed the strange phenomenon behind the mountain. On the road below the house and in the surrounding grass, more than ten zombies with tattered clothes were also moving restlessly. It was obvious that they had also discovered the situation behind the mountain. As the frightened birds and the noise got closer and closer, the zombies clearly felt that something big was about to happen, so they all howled and ran towards the back of the mountain.
Not long after the dozen or so people ran into the mountain, Kou Guihua discovered that the sounds were getting closer and louder. Soon after, with a series of hualala sounds, a large group of people came out from the back of the mountain.
These people who suddenly emerged from the back of the mountain were Qiu Yongqiang, Shark, and the others who had moved according to plan. When they first received Wang Lei's call, the astute Shark realized that an extremely rare opportunity had come.
Qiu Yongqiang is also a very ambitious person. After receiving Zhang Jianjun's letter, he originally wanted me to be free and unfettered. Who would be willing to participate in a f * cking government alliance? He was originally going to pick peaches, but ended up losing to Wang Lei twice. Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice.
Hearing the shark's words, the repressed ambition expanded with a bang. All of a sudden, he imagined being the boss of Mianzhou. After all, in Qiu Yongqiang's mind, how could a shark be better than him?
As for Shark, why did he ally with Qiu Yongqiang even though he knew he was no match for him? This was because sharks were very clear about their abilities. Being a mountain king was fine, but in Mianzhou, it was not. Thus, he could only be a subordinate, but choosing who to be his subordinate was extremely important. If he continued to be under the command of Zhang Jianjun and Chen Jing, how long would his current status as one of the seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Six Academies last? Shark knew in his heart that Zhang Jianjun and Chen Jing would be unable to help themselves for the time being. After all, how could their boss live the life of an ascetic and a lackey live the life of an emperor?
However, Qiu Yongqiang is different. Would boss not let his younger brother drink soup after eating meat?
If you were to say that Zhang Jianjun and Chen Jing were like that, could you not be like that as well? But I advise you not to say that to the shark, or the shark will spit on you. After all, you are used to eating big fish and big meat, who would be willing to eat wild vegetables and rice bran?
Thus, the two of them had their own goals and goals. They immediately caught Ouyang Zhenlin and Yang Dahai off guard and immediately moved southwest as planned.
”Brother Qiang, I think it's about time. This mountain cave is not bad. How about we set up camp here?” After entering the cave, Shark took a look at the terrain and suggested to Qiu Yongqiang.
”En, not bad. This place is not bad at all. Pass down the order and set up camp here.” Qiu Yongqiang looked around before nodding his head.
”Um, Brother Qiang, we haven't stopped since we started. It's not even 5 o'clock, should we sit down and figure it out? What should we do in the future?”
”En, Brother Shark, you are right. Send the order and set up the tent. At the same time, call the brothers over. We will meet in 20 minutes.”
”Hurry up and instruct them!” Come, let's sit over there. ”
”Hahaha, Brother Shark, you really like my taste in Qiang-ge? Skinny Three, you're not as thoughtful as me, Brother Shark, as a strategist!”
”No no, I'm just a little brother of Qiang-ge, how can I compare with Chief Shark?” The tall, thin, and skinny Third Brother hurriedly came out to tease him when he heard what Big Brother Qiang said.
We are all brothers. If Brother Qiang really treats me as his own brother, then I, Shark, will show my face in front of all the brothers here. From today onwards, I, Shark, will be Brother Qiang's long-lost brother, Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild. Shark was a formidable person, so he lowered his posture. After he finished speaking, he half-knelt and cupped his hands towards Qiu Yongqiang, ”Greetings, Big Brother!”
”Good, this is great!” Hahaha, old brother Sha, from today onwards, you will be my second brother, under me alone and above everyone else. Hahaha, second brother, don't worry, I, Brother Qiang, will never treat you unfairly. ” Qiu Yongqiang was also a kamikaze figure. He said that he would not mistreat his brothers, but now he sold out his previous brothers in order to win over the sharks.
”Brother, don't say that. We are all brothers. I will not be above tens of thousands of people. I just hope that my brother before will be able to become your brother as well.” Sharks were naturally very clever.
”Brother, you really know how to talk, but we are going to do something big, and we still need to respect you. When we finish doing something big, we can come to the Rites Hall. ”Hahaha, hahaha.” After laughing for a while, Qiu Yong continued, ”I'm happy today, too happy. But don't worry, Second Brother, your brother is naturally my brother Qiang-ge.”
”Reporting, Brother Qiang, the conference room is ready. Everyone, please take your seats.” Right at this moment, a soldier ran over to report.
”Alright, let us temporarily discuss our brotherhood here. Brothers, please come with me, Brother Qiang, to discuss important matters.”
”Please come in, big brother.”
After the 20 plus people entered a large tent and sat down, Qiu Yongqiang said, ”Brothers, today's meeting will be recorded in the annals of history, because we will be discussing about a big matter. Now, we will listen to the second in command of sharks. ”
”Hello elder brother and brothers.” Shark stood up and said, ”The matter that big brother mentioned just now, everyone is very clear in your hearts, because we just finished the opening, and all of us did a great deed, we sent Zhang Jianjun's and Wang Lei's twenty thousand strong army and dozens of experts to an irrecoverable disaster!”
”Hahaha, hahaha.” In a split-second, waves of knowing laughter resounded throughout the venue.
”Of course, we haven't finished this major event yet, so it's not the time for us to laugh out loud happily. After we finish this major event, we will sit in the big conference room of the city of Mianzhou and wait for our elder brother to discuss the merits and rewards before we truly laugh out loud.”
”Hahaha, hahaha.” Sharks were very emotional, and the whole venue burst into knowing laughter again.
