My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1464
[1455. Chapter 1432: Go down the mountain to trade, people’s hearts can be used!]
All in all, the current death tide may be the disaster that humans can best understand and deal with.
Except for a small number of territories with less than a thousand people who complained on the world channel, the larger territories were basically discussing enthusiastically how to deal with the disaster.
From discussing the types of monsters, their abilities, how to deal with them, to the redemption priorities in the store, the selection of various resources, to how to build defenses against the death tide.
The world channel was refreshed very quickly, and many ordinary survivors also participated and spoke freely.
The boulder territory.
In a small stone house on the first floor platform of the village, close to the cliff.
Zhao Jun put on his shoes, stood in front of the basin, and raised his hand to touch his rough face.
The ultraviolet rays in the southern fire zone are very strong, and even wearing a hat will have little effect.
The faces of most of the survivors had already turned black and red, and had peeled and festered due to being exposed to the sun.
Many people have even developed special skin diseases because of this. Once exposed to direct sunlight, they will feel excruciating pain and want to scratch their skin to pieces.
However, at this moment, the face reflected in the basin looked much better than most of the survivors.
The whole area is black, with only some scattered peeling at the edges and corners, and no trace of ulceration can be seen.
Zhao Jun couldn’t help but smile, feeling happy and dazed.
Since joining the Stone Territory, these days seem like a dream, not real at all.
“Jun, you are going to the frontline today, please bring more bread with you, you can’t go hungry.”
A gentle voice came from behind him and Zhao Jun turned his head.
His wife Yue Xiang was holding two blackened cakes in her hands, which were as big as an adult’s hands.
Although the pancakes are black and don’t look good, they taste really tempting. The aroma of oil mixed with the smell of roasted sesame seeds hits your nose.
“I’ll leave them all for you and Niu. I heard from Uncle Wang that those who go to the front line receive special subsidies, so they will definitely not let me starve.”
Zhao Jun twirled his collar and instinctively shook his head to refuse.
He worked hard in guarding the village gate yesterday and was given a total of four pounds of flour, enough for the family to eat for nearly half a month.
But the Stone Territory missed the time to reclaim the land, and there were no fields around that could be cultivated.
This means that the food source for everyone in the territory can only come from exchanges with the outside world.
“I saw on the world channel that there are territories being breached by infected bodies, and you guys are still taking the initiative to explore outside. I don’t know what kind of chaos it will be out there.”
Yue Xiang couldn’t hide the worry on her face. “Including the Golden Eagle, such a large territory, I heard that the infected almost broke through the first line of defense last night.”
“That’s because the Golden Eagle is incompetent. Our Giant Stone Territory is doing fine.”
Zhao Jun interrupted in a deep voice, “Don’t even mention before. Even the day before yesterday, I was still wondering whether we were doing the right thing or the wrong thing by giving up the queue and coming to the Giant Stone Territory.”
“But today I can be sure that our choice is absolutely correct. Following Lord Zhang, Boss Ji, Captain Lou, Captain Luo and others, we will definitely be able to live a more comfortable life than those ordinary people in the Golden Giant Eagle Territory!”
Only before a disaster can the good or bad of human nature be seen.
When the infected bodies attacked the city yesterday, both Boss Ji and the other guards charged forward risking their lives.
This feeling was something the Zhao army had never experienced before in joining several territories.
At that moment, he could even feel that everyone’s beliefs were connected together, without any barriers.
Does it feel like this to join the Golden Eagle?
Absolutely not!
“The surrounding territories survived the disaster yesterday and made some gains. As long as our big sale today goes smoothly, our territory can store food for at least two to three months, or even four to five months if things get better.”
“Besides, Boss Ji is leading the team today. What are you worried about?”
Zhao Jun said confidently.
The Boulder Territory is small in size, with fewer waves and enemies, so not many supplies can be exchanged from the store.
But the impact suffered by the surrounding territories of tens of thousands of people yesterday was much more serious than that of the boulder.
If you send in-demand medicines over there for trade, you’ll definitely be able to get a considerable amount of food in return.
“Although Mr. Ji is leading the team, you should not be careless. It is better to be careful.”
As soon as Yue Xiang heard the three words “Boss Ji”, she felt relieved.
During the battle yesterday, these women saw with their own eyes the man’s exaggerated fighting style.
It is truly the case that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot break through.
The infected body that others feared was like a child’s toy in the hands of Boss Ji, which he could knead and flatten.
So much so that later on, the women in charge of logistics were also protected and brought forward to practice several rounds with the infected bodies.
This is absolutely hard to see in other territories.
“Subsidies are subsidies. What if you get them only after you come back? You’d better take them with you.”
“That’s fine. I won’t feel at ease today without you.” Zhao Jun pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “Don’t tell Niu that I’m going to the front line, otherwise she will definitely make trouble with me.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll just say you went down the mountain to investigate.”
They looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Zhao Jun put on a sun hat, opened the door and walked out.
He deliberately left for the gathering point after his daughter went to the second-floor platform to study pharmaceutical manufacturing, so that his daughter could study with peace of mind without worrying about the safety of him, an old father, outside.
As long as you can learn how to make medicine, you will have a foothold even if you change territory or sector in the future.
As for the dangerous ones, the old father just took them all on his own.
“Old Zhao, it’s so early today. I thought you were going to take ten more minutes to get over there.”
As soon as Zhao Jun went out, he met Song Chunlai from next door who was also walking out.
There are basically no bachelors in the Stone Territory. All of them have families, often four or five people.
Song Chunlai has a son and a daughter. His daughter was also sent to study pharmaceutical manufacturing in the morning.
The two had the same idea, and they both wanted to not worry their daughter, so they set out at this time.
“That won’t work. Boss Ji is leading the team today, and I have to leave a good impression on him.”
The meeting time is half past nine.
The two of them went out at 8:30 and arrived an hour early. Their purpose was self-evident.
However, when they arrived at the gathering place, they found that all sixteen people who were selected to go to the front line were there!
Everyone arrived an hour early, and everyone was in high spirits and radiant.
“Old Zhao, Old Song is here, so we are all here.”
A group of people greeted each other warmly.
Guard captain Lou Zhigang counted the number of people and said nothing, but he was quite happy in his heart.
People’s hearts are available!
There is still an hour before the gathering time. If he calls everyone over in advance, he will inevitably be suspected of deliberately showing off in front of Su Mo.
Not only would he not get any benefits, but it might also make Lao Zhang doubt his ability.
But now these people come here one by one, that means he is a good leader and trainer!
“Mr. Ji, everyone is here, how about we leave early and come back early?”
Lou Zhigang felt relieved when he noticed that Su Mo had a smile on his face and was looking at him with admiration.
“Pack your things and let’s go.”
Su Mo nodded.
The group sorted out the medicines to be traded with the outside world, which were basically anti-inflammatory drugs, mixed with some antipyretics, diarrhea medicines, etc.
The quantity was about ten kilograms, which was the largest shipment in the Stone Territory in recent times, and it almost emptied all the previously accumulated inventory.
The gate of the village opened from the inside out, and the black gas mass that had been lingering before the mountain road had disappeared.
Several young and strong men living in Shitou Village at the foot of the mountain were squatting on the side of the road. When they saw the door open, they rushed over.
“Hey, what are you doing? You don’t want to live anymore.”
“Boss, please save us. We are willing to work like slaves for you. We are willing to do any dirty or tiring work!”
“There are monsters all over the mountain. They are not afraid of death and cannot die. They kill anyone they see.”
“They’re all dead, all dead. Now the village is full of living dead, all zombies!”
The young men kneeling on the ground were obviously frightened, and they kept talking to each other.
There is no trace of the rebelliousness of a few days ago. He is so well-behaved that it is simply astonishing.
“Tell me slowly, what happened at the foot of the mountain?”
Su Mo frowned and walked forward, picking the man in front of him who looked familiar and asked.
The person who was called out quickly said, “It’s the damn Stone Gang. They are simply not human. In order to exchange supplies for the store, they turned people into living dead to get rewards.”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked.
Is there such a beastly behavior?
“After you left yesterday, they had a fight to steal things from that courtyard, and several people died. As a result, when the disaster started, all these people turned into living dead and hunted the living in the village.”
The man wiped away his tears and said, “These zombies are not strong. After everyone got brave enough, they were not that scared and killed them easily. But when it came time to exchange the rewards, a group of people started arguing again. No one agreed with the other’s distribution plan.”
“The people from the Stone Gang found that the living dead could be exchanged for a lot of supplies, so they deliberately played a trick and found an excuse to infect all the more than a dozen people in the Liu family into living dead, and then killed them to exchange for rewards.”
“I didn’t expect that others would follow suit and go after my enemies.”
The few infected bodies that could have been easily killed have evolved into the current situation because of human greed.
No one expected that there would be nearly a thousand people in Shitou Village, most of whom were young and strong.
After one night, nearly half of the people were dead.
Most of these people died at the hands of their own people and were turned into infected bodies to obtain store rewards.
hateful.
Damn it!
Su Mo’s face suddenly turned cold, and in an instant, the young men were so frightened by his aura that they dared not cry anymore.
“What is the situation now?”
“The people of the Stone Gang exchanged more than ten guns in the store by earning rewards. Now they are the most powerful. They are planning to earn rewards for another two days. After they have more guns, they will immediately go up the mountain, take down the stronghold and take it for themselves. Then they will turn all those who refuse to obey into living dead to earn rewards.”
“How dare they! They are courting death!”
Lou Zhigang was furious. What kind of beastly behavior was this? How could he be so arrogant?
However, he did not lose his mind due to anger, and continued to ask:
“How do you know this in so much detail?”
“Captain Lou, you should have seen me. I…I ran away from the Stone Gang. They are so scary, they are not human at all!”
A thin man at the back raised his hand.
Lou Zhigang took a quick look and did have some impression of him, as if he had seen this man in the Shi Gang’s team.
Just when he was hesitating whether to let this man lead the way and send someone to investigate down the mountain first.
But I didn’t expect Su Mo to speak directly:
“Where are they now? You lead the way for us, and we will take the initiative to kill them.”
“Ah?” The thin man hesitated.
Under the pressure of Su Mo’s eyes, he nodded reluctantly: “I will take you to kill them, and then you can join the village, right?”
“Of course, if you kill them, you will not only be able to join the village, but you will even get a reward.”
Su Mo forced a smile and tried his best to make his expression less cold.
Seeing this, Lou Zhigang wanted to say something, but when he thought of Su Mo’s meticulousness and extraordinary calmness these days, as well as the fighting power he showed yesterday, he was no longer worried.
When your strength reaches a certain level, you really don’t have to worry about traps anymore.
On the contrary, actively entering a trap can give you the upper hand.
“I’ll go ask Lord Zhang to call for help. These beasts must not be let off at any cost. You guys get ready here first.”
“clear.”
Meeting Su Mo’s slightly suggestive gaze, Lou Zhigang felt relieved.
Half an hour later, all forty guards of the mountain stronghold were gathered together and marched down the mountain in a menacing manner.
During this time, the thin man went to the side of the mountain path to relieve himself, saying that he had a stomachache.
The man who spoke first seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the empty defense of the village, his eyes flickered a few times and he ultimately couldn’t say anything.
However, when they were almost at the bottom of the mountain, another group of people rushed over, more than twenty people in total.
Unexpectedly, the leader turned out to be the Niu brothers.
When they saw Niu Dan and Niu Shuang, the few people who had just led the way exchanged glances and fled to both sides of the road.
Unfortunately, before he could take a few steps, the guards reacted and aimed their guns at him.
They squatted down with their heads in their hands, unwillingly, with resentment on their faces.
“Why are you here?”
Su Mo walked forward in surprise and met Niu Dan, who looked anxious.
Unexpectedly, the latter looked at him with complicated eyes, sighed, and said with a haggard look as if he had aged several years: “Mr. Ji Ji, I thought you were a smart man, but I didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it.”
“Um?”
“Don’t you think there’s something wrong with these people? They tricked you into coming down the mountain because they wanted to launch a surprise attack on the village!”
“Yeah?”
A look of surprise appeared on Su Mo’s face.
“Why don’t you join them?”
“Those people are beasts. If I join them, I’ll be fine.”
Niu Dan shook his head subconsciously, but was suddenly startled as he spoke and looked at Su Mo’s calm face.
No, it should be the ordinary middle-aged face of the human skin mask.
“You know?”
“Are you surprised?”
“That.”
“They want to rob the cottage, and I just want to deal with them, so I don’t have to come to my door.”
Suma was not surprised.
Rather than the fact that the Shi Gang wanted to rob the stronghold, he was more curious about why the Niu brothers would take the initiative to come and inform on the matter.
“But your people”
Niu Dan swallowed, not knowing what to say.
It was a miracle that a mountain stronghold with more than 200 people could gather 40 fully armed guards.
It is absolutely impossible for the current Boulder Territory to be defended by the same number of guards.
Even if they did, how could they withstand the attack of nearly 200 people from the Stone Gang
?
Su Mo turned around, as if sensing something, and looked towards the direction of the village.
boom.
A bright flame exploded, and the flames were blinding even in the daytime!
“Will having more people be of any use?”
