Granny Wolf forced her composure, holding the gun in both hands, and with a few of her men, carefully walked over the pier step by step and landed ashore.
They finally figured out what was making the strange noise.
A metal lamppost that originally stood beside the pier, as if it had been oppressed by some force, turned from an upright position to a lying posture, lying across the road.
And it continued to go down slowly.
"Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack."
This clicking sound is the sound of the lamp post slowly breaking and peeling from the base.
In the middle of the night, there are no people everywhere, and there is no reason why a good lamp post will suddenly fall down by itself.
The little thin man grabbed his boss and panicked, "Brother... let's run?"
After all, Granny Wolf was the eldest, so she calmly said, "Don't be afraid, walk slowly, be careful, maybe 'it' just wants us to run forward quickly."
'Who is that? Who is 'it'
When he said this, it felt even more frightening, and a group of people were trembling.
Grandma Wolf and the others all held guns, and with Bei Nuan, they moved forward cautiously.
The little thin man's voice trembled, "I think it must be the thing by the river that is still following us..."
Bei Nuan silently praised him in his heart.
That's right, he's not following you. The older one, wearing a white shirt, looks quite handsome, can't you all see it
When Jiang Fei saw the lamppost bent like that, he knew who was playing tricks, smiled, but didn't speak.
Taking advantage of the lack of attention, Du Ruo asked Lu Xingchi quietly, "Why are you scaring them when you have nothing to do?"
"It's fun." Lu **ss didn't even move his eyebrows, but his answer was naive.
On the pier, Bei Nuan discovered that the island is really quite big.
There are not only the large houses on the island that I just saw on the shore, but there is also a large mountain behind, which seems to be full of trees.
The lake water is comparable to a moat, and it is a natural barrier that blocks zombies who cannot swim. The island is even more safe, and a wall is built around the island.
The fence originally seemed to be made of wood, but now many places have been stripped off and replaced with a stronger stone wall, which seems to have not been completely built.
Grandma Wolf's group was so frightened by Lu Xingchi that they moved cautiously for a long time, and finally moved to the heavily fortified gate.
The door was closed.
Grandma Wolf knocked a few times, and a small window opened on the door.
The gatekeeper inside glanced out of the small window before opening the door.
The gatekeepers seemed to be very familiar with Grandma Wolf. When they saw Grandma Wolf taking Lu Xingchi with them, they were all joking, "How many more did you pick up? Business is not bad recently."
Grandma Wolf responded vaguely, not wanting to say more.
After everyone had checked for injuries as usual, Grandma Wolf took Lu Xingchi and the others inside.
It is midnight, and the island is still very lively.
There are low-rise bungalows everywhere, densely packed one after another, most of which are covered with plaster, stone and grass, arranged in random order without any planning.
There are narrow streets between the small bungalows, and many people are still on the streets.
Some people are setting up stalls to sell things, and some people are gathered in groups of three or five, which looks like a night market.
There are also various things sold in the night market.
Many of them are various dilapidated daily necessities collected from nowhere, and there are also some strange food that cannot be seen in shape.
On the stalls, pine oil torches are mostly used for lighting.
There is also a simple solar lamp that emits a little light faintly, illuminating the things on the rags.
Grandma Wolf took a few people through the lively night market and continued to walk to the island.
Then there is the mountain, the road is rugged, and there is a huge cave entrance in front.
The cave should be the last line of defense here. The lower half of the cave is equipped with an iron gate, and there are people guarding it.
It seems that if a zombie breaks through the two blockades of the lake and the high wall, they can still hide in the cave.
The cave seems to be very deep, the terrain is complex, and torches are also lit. There are marks of axe chisels in many places on the rock wall. This hole seems to be excavated manually.
There are many people living in the caves, and in large and small caves and passages, people are sleeping wrapped in blankets.
Grandma Wolf turned around in the cave with extremely complicated terrain as if returning home, and finally arrived at his destination.
It was a relatively empty place, and there were several people playing cards around a table.
"Old Hu, see I brought someone here for you again."
Grandma Wolf went over and patted a man on the back.
The man named Lao Hu looked back.
He was hunched over, looking very thin, and his face was as gray as if he was suffering from a serious illness.
He threw down the cards in his hand, and looked up and down Lu Xingchi with his dull eyes.
"New arrival? Let's say it first. In our place, safety is guaranteed, but if you want to stay here, you must work to have food."
He said something about it, and Bei Nuan listened half-heartedly.
It was clearly written in the book long ago that if you want to stay on this island, you have to be a laborer.
There was originally a local armed force stationed on this island, but because of local disputes, it turned into a bandit and turned into a gang.
After the zombie outbreak, the outside was a mess. Although it was temporarily safe, we had to find a way to be self-sufficient.
The armed men on the island were comfortable and used to it, and they didn't want to work, so they collected a group of survivors from everywhere to work as laborers.
The main job is to help them cut trees, grow food and vegetables, build a stone fence around the entire island, and even go out of the island to search for supplies.
Therefore, although it is the end of the world, there are more people on the island, and it is quite lively.
Although the people who come here are all laborers, they do not restrict the freedom of laborers.
Anyway, the island is so big, and there is no way to get out. Besides, there are zombies outside, and no one wants to run out.
They also don't force people to work at all.
Because if you don’t work, you have no money, you can’t buy food without money, you can’t live, you can only starve to death.
Therefore, the workers are working hard every day in order to live in this safe place and have a bite to eat.
Life is not easy, the work is hard, the pay is meager, and I can barely make ends meet.
And Grandma Wolf and the others went out to bring people back.
The monthly payment is based on the head of the returned head. Those who come here are younger and stronger, and they will have more money.
In short, human traffickers.
Lao Hu is the person in charge of counting the laborers on the island. All these people brought back must be registered with Lao Hu first.
Lao Hu asked Bei Nuan their names and ages one by one, registered them in the booklet, then turned around to unlock the lock on the cabinet next to him, and took out a wooden box.
The box is full of small iron cards tied with ropes.
Bei Nuan glanced at it with a probe. The iron plate was a thin circular piece of iron, rough in workmanship, about four or five centimeters in diameter, and each had only a large letter chiseled on it.
Lao Hu sifted through the box for a long time, and finally found an iron plate with a chiseled a on it and handed it to Lu Xingchi.

After searching for a while, I found one with an f on it and sent it to Bei Nuan.
"Hang it around your neck," he commanded.
Like a dog tag.
The abcd brand was not mentioned in the book, but Bei Nuan already knew it.
When Lu Xingchi took a and Bei Nuan and took f, most of the ** refers to physical fitness.
With Lu**ss's physique, it's a well-deserved a.
Bei Nuan is so weak, it's not wrong to get an F.
Jiang Fei also came over to receive the brand, and Lao Hu glanced at him up and down, probably seeing that although he was a little thinner, he was moved by the tight muscle lines under his clothes, and also gave him an A card.
Then he picked out another c and handed it to Tang Tang.
Du Ruo waited beside him for a long time, rubbing his hands and looking at Lao Hu eagerly.
Lao Hu looked him up and down as critically as he was buying vegetables, and scratched through the pile of iron cards to find a b.
Du Ruo exploded instantly.
"Why are they both a's and I'm a b? I've never had a b in my life!"
Lao Hu has probably never encountered anyone who has to contend for his rating. He was stunned for a long time before explaining: "Getting a b is already very good."
Even Grandma Wolf said by the side, "You will know when you go out and have a look. It is rare for someone on the island to be a B." He pulled out the sign around his neck, "Look at me, it is a C. C is good enough."
Tang Tang also said, "Brother Du, didn't I also get a C?"
Bei Nuan also comforted Du Ruo, "Look at me, I even got an F."
"You are not thinking about making progress." Du Ruo replied in a tone of grief and anger, and continued to grind with Lao Hu.
Lao Hu insists on his opinion and will not change it if he dies.
The poker player over there is called Lao Hu, "You can't finish, just register a few people, why are you so dawdling?"
Lao Hu was so entangled by Du Ruo that he had to look at him again, and was suddenly stunned.
He actually went to the pile of brands and picked an a for him again.
Du Ruo finally got the A card, contented, and happily hung this hard-won dog tag around his neck like a baby.
Grandma Wolf whispered a few words to Lao Hu, and politely discussed with Lu Xingchi and the others: "You guys have tents of your own, so I won't give you blankets, okay?"
Since Lu Xingchi and the others got the A card, Grandma Wolf's tone has become a lot more polite.
However, he still embezzled the blankets that were supposed to be given to the laborers when they went to the island.
Taking someone else's blanket, she was probably a little unhappy, and Grandma Wolf added, "Your tent is good, I guess no one would dare to rob you, be careful of being stolen."
This is true.
It was said in the book that there were no laws on the island, the lawless, and robbery and theft were nothing at all.
Only when the trouble is too outrageous, the management on the island will come forward to take care of it.
Usually, the two parties who are in trouble are tied together and thrown into the lake without any explanation.
Or when there is a gang in the labor force, it will come forward to kill the leader of the gang, so that the labor layer will always maintain the chaos and disorder that is most beneficial to the management.
It was already deep at night when I came out of Lao Hu.
The island is so big that you can go anywhere, so a few people found a place away from the crowds and markets to pitch their tents.
Lu Xingchi took the initiative to help Bei Nuan set up the tent, and asked Bei Nuan in a low voice, "Aren't you asking why I came here?"
Bei Nuan was still tying the tent support in his hand, and answered naturally, "You don't need to ask, no matter where you go, I'll just follow you."
Lu Xingchi was stunned, not expecting her to answer like that.
He lowered his head subconsciously and looked into her eyes.
Bei Nuan noticed it, raised his head and smiled at him.
Her eyes were as clear as water in the moonlight, her eyes were calm and calm, without the slightest evasion or hesitation.
This is a truth from the bottom of my heart—
No matter where Lu Xingchi wants to go, as long as he follows him, it doesn't matter where he goes, the key is to stay in his vision in order to increase the value of the Virgin.
Bei Nuan is telling the truth, and there is no ghost in his heart.
This time, it is Lu Xingchi who has a ghost in his heart.
Lu Xingchi had already prepared a large set of rhetoric, just on his lips, and rehearsed in his mind the various questions she would ask and how to deal with them one by one.
Looking into her eyes now, all that bells and whistles are suddenly forgotten.
According to the regulations of the system, Lu Xingchi would definitely come to this island to sign in, and his stay could not be too short.
When encountering the human traffickers on the island, Zhongzhong Lu Xingchi fell into his arms.
Lu Xingchi had already figured out how to explain to Bei Nuan and the others why they had to come to this island.
Unexpectedly, Bei Nuan didn't ask a word during the whole process, just like a little tail, he followed him obediently.
The rare thing is that Du Ruo and Jiang Fei didn't ask any questions at all.
Everyone did not complain, did not question, unconditionally trusted his judgment, and followed him without hesitation.
Lu Xingchi's throat was a little dry.
However, the reason for coming here still has to be said, and it was originally a very important thing.
"I'm here because, Bei Nuan, have you noticed the zigzag sign on their van?"
Bei Nuan thought about it very hard, but still couldn't think of it.
At that time, it was too dark, the lake was too dark, and Bei Nuan's thoughts were all on the small wooden boat.
Lu Xingchi simply picked up a branch and drew it on the ground.
It is three semi-circular arcs like petals, with the opening facing the middle in the shape of "pin", and there is an eye in the center of the character.
"I've seen this symbol somewhere else."
Lu Xingchi said.
"When I was in the Nine Prison Refuge a few days ago, I searched the small buildings guarded by them, and I saw this sign on a few pieces of torn scrap paper."
This thing is true, the van really has the same sign as the piece of paper found in the Nine Prison Refuge.
Bei Nuan thought for a while, "But that doesn't necessarily matter."
Lu Xingchi nodded, "That's right. But it's still a clue."
Bei Nuan thought to himself, he was right.
Huo Ren and the mysterious man who injected Du Ruo with a virus inhibitor are very mysterious, and there is a strong correlation between the two.
The virus on Du Ruo's body has only been suppressed temporarily, and I don't know how long it can last. If there is a clue, no matter how small, it is indeed worth pursuing.
His reasons are very tenable.
Lu Xingchi also told several other people about this, and everyone agreed with his idea.
"We're not in a hurry anyway," Tang Tang said.
Jiang Fei agreed, "Yes, in comparison, it is more important to find clues about inhibitors."
Du Ruo was very moved.
He looked at everyone with a sincere tone, "If one day, I really become a zombie king, even if I wipe out all human beings in the world, I will definitely build a human sanctuary for a few of you, and treat you as mascots. In the same way, take good care of it and feed it delicious food every day."
Everyone:"… "
Grandma Wolf predicted correctly, even if the tent was pitched away from the crowd, it was still being watched.
The tent can keep out the wind and rain, and it is a precious thing on this island where supplies are scarce.
In the middle of the night, someone came to make a tent.
When Bei Nuan was in a daze, she suddenly felt that the entire tent was moving.
Leaning out, Bei Nuan saw four or five people coming outside, two of whom were mopping Bei Nuan's tent.
Bei Nuan was being slowly towed away as if he was sitting in a small car.
Bei Nuan:
Tang Tang accidentally fell asleep at night, but now he seems to have finally heard the movement, and suddenly woke up, "Who are you? What are you stealing?"
Lu Xingchi and Jiang Fei had also come out of the tent.
Bei Nuan unzipped the tent and stuck his head out, "You can steal the tent, you don't have to steal it with me, right?"
Even if she is a little thin, a little small, and a little invisible with her head covered in a thick sleeping bag just now, wouldn't she be so insignificant, right
At this time, Lu Xingchi couldn't help but smile.
In the next second, a punch was thrown out.
He didn't use his abilities at all, he just punched his fist.
Seeing that he started to do it, Jiang Fei and the others did not hesitate to do so.
Jiang Fei didn't even use a knife. With just one punch and one kick, a thief flew away.
Those few people are too bad, they are not their opponents at all.
Lu Xingchi came out in a hurry, before he had time to button his shirt, the tin dog tag swayed out in front of his open chest with his movements.
The iron card swung to and fro on his chest.
The opponent suddenly flashed away.
He was so surprised that his tone changed, pointing to Lu Xingchi and shouting to his companion, "That person is an a!"
Someone pointed at the sign on Jiang Fei's chest, "I'm also an a on my side!"
Bei Nuan thought, are you all blind
A is not a, you should understand when the fist comes up, right? Still have to look at the sign to read? Want to be so academic
There was real fear in the eyes of those people.
Someone was very puzzled, "How come there are so many a's all of a sudden?"
Another person muttered: "These are new arrivals at night. With such a good eye, Lao Hu will definitely not see it wrong."
No one took care of Du Ruo, Du Ruo quickly fished out the dog tag hanging around his neck and showed it to them, "Look, mine is also a!"
Bei Nuan: "..."
"There are actually three a's?"
The leader of the group had a solemn expression. With a wave of his hand, he didn't say a word. A few people turned around and ran away, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
From then on until dawn, everyone slept peacefully, and no one came to harass them again.
The next morning, everyone woke up.
Just arrived on the island, the situation is unknown, and the breakfast was very low-key.
Bei Nuan connected the toaster with a generator in the space, and baked slices of toast until golden brown before taking them out.
Jiang Fei hid in the tent and laid out the chopping board, cut a few slices of ham, sandwiched the ham slices and cheese slices in the toast, and distributed them to everyone.
After eating and drinking, everyone packed up, packed their bags and walked to the lively place at the night market last night, wanting to see what this place is, and inquire about news by the way.
Look again in the daytime, and the market under the sun is even more rudimentary and crowded.
There are still many people gathered in the narrow streets.
Bei Nuan found that many people's eyes were surreptitiously drifting towards them.
But once he met his eyes, he quickly moved away in panic.
Bei Nuan vaguely heard them whispering, "Is this the few a's who just landed on the island?"
Bei Nuan was a little puzzled: Strange, have you never seen a man with a strong body
While walking forward, a thin young man suddenly appeared from the side of the road and blocked their way.
He seemed to summon up all his courage, and after a long time of determination, he asked, "Excuse me... Are you the new ones who got the A card?"
The young man's eyes were full of desire, "Can you... show me the brand, just take a look."
Du Ruo was the most generous, and pulled out the iron plate with a chiseled a directly from his chest and showed it to him.
The young man stared at the a above and sighed enviously, "This is the a card."
Bei Nuan was completely confused by them.
So what does this little shit mean
Bei Nuan simply pulled out the iron card on his chest, "Look at my brand, it's an F."
The young man was stunned, glanced at the crooked f on the iron plate, his eyes fell on Bei Nuan's face, and his eyes were full of pity that was about to overflow.
It seems to be a little fortunate - I finally found a hapless man who is more unlucky than himself.
He looked up and down Bei Nuan with the eyes of a dead man.
"F? It's so pitiful, even worse than me."
It was only then that Bei Nuan noticed that the brand on the young man's neck was half hidden and half exposed, and it seemed to have an e on it.
His face was yellow and skinny, his clothes were in a mess, his face was the same as that of Lao Hu, and his skin was covered with a strange gray color.
In terms of physique alone, giving him an e is not wrong at all.
But now, judging from the abnormal reactions of these people, the letters on the iron plate don't seem to mean that at all.
