Huo Dong had a white towel wrapped around his head and tied his neck tightly with a sleeve. Dressed like an Arab, he then carefully tied his trouser legs with a straw rope with slightly trembling hands, jumped on the spot, and then checked again.
He was sure that he had never been so cautious in his life.
He touched his clothes and pants, feeling the hard and rough texture on his hands, and felt a little relieved. These clothes had been strengthened by Boss Luo's superpower and became invulnerable, even if they were bitten by a first-level mutant beast for half an hour. Can't bite through either.
Although he has never tried it, of course he hopes and best never has the chance to try it.
He took out the only remaining pack of Yellow Crane Tower 1916 and was about to light a cigarette to relieve the pressure. There were only five cigarettes left in the box. Except for a few cigarettes given to Luo Yuan, they had never been shared with anyone else. He didn't think these people would bring him any benefit. In fact, he looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart.
Before the end of the world, he was an agent and a boss. Although he was not worth mentioning compared to the billionaires before, he was not on the same level as these white-collar white-collar workers.
However, at this time, he hesitated and generously gave one to everyone. This is not the time to be stingy. This action is very dangerous. If something happens, forming a good relationship can sometimes play a key role.
Chen Xianfeng numbly took the cigarette and smelled it greedily. He touched his pocket, slowly took out a lighter, lit it on fire and took a greedy puff. He didn't spit it out for a long time, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Huo Dong glanced at Chen Xianfeng vaguely, forced a smile and said, "In other words, we are all on the same bed. Let's help each other when the time comes."
Sun Xiaowu said carelessly: "It goes without saying that anyone who is in danger must be supported immediately. If anyone escapes, don't blame me for not giving him face."
"I also agree. Even if we don't pursue the case, I don't think the boss can tolerate such people." Zhao Gang also said immediately.
Thinking of Luo Yuan's indifferent attitude that night, Huo Dong felt a chill in his heart, and his original little calculation was quickly given up.
As for Chen Xianfeng next to him, he was squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette in silence.
After the cigarette was burned out, everyone picked up a simple spear made by dismantling a triangle iron from a shelf in a tacit understanding, and walked out of the villa carrying a watering can filled with gasoline.
The grassland not only blocks the view, but is also a breeding ground for mutant organisms. It is extremely dangerous for ordinary people to live nearby. If Luo Yuan and the others want to live here permanently, they must first solve this problem. However, the area of the community park is too large. Even if Using up all the fuel is just a drop in the bucket, and if you don't clean and maintain it regularly, it won't be long before a new lawn will reappear.
Neither gasoline nor human energy is enough.
So Luo Yuan decided to narrow the target and clean up the grass around the villa first. This time Luo Yuan did not plan to do it himself, but gave the task to the newcomers.
It is impossible for people who do not experience danger to grow. And he didn't want to raise these people in vain. If he didn't even dare to try this small risk, he would be completely disappointed with them. Fortunately, they still had some courage, or rather wisdom, and agreed without any hesitation.
Originally, Luo Yuan planned to let all these women go, but Huang Jiahui stopped him, so Luo Yuan thought about it and let it go.
Women have a natural weakness in battle. Some people don't even dare to kill chickens. If they follow them, it is no longer taking risks, but risking death. This kind of thing can only be done slowly.
…
On the second floor of the old villa, Luo Yuan looked at the group of people in the distance through the window that had long lost the glass.
The four of them seemed extremely cautious. It could even be said that they were overly cautious. Whenever there was any disturbance, they would be frightened and stood still, their faces as white as dead people. Luo Yuan was somewhat interested at first, but after watching it for a while, he lost interest. It was really boring.
"We're almost out of water." Huang Jiahui next to her suddenly said.
"Why did you use it so quickly?" Luo Yuan asked in surprise.
"In addition to the water left in the water heater for washing your face, brushing your teeth, and washing dishes, all other cooking and cooking uses are mineral water, plus one bottle for drinking every day. Even if you save more, you still use half a box every day. "We can't last more than a few days," Huang Jiahui said worriedly.
"How many more are there now?"
"Only half of the box is left." Huang Jiahui said softly.
Luo Yuan looked out the window and said, "I'll figure this out. I'll go out in the afternoon. I should be able to find a lot of mineral water in the uninhabited houses outside."
Huang Jiahui was hesitant to speak and hesitated for a long time before saying: "I mean, why don't we leave here? The water here has been polluted. Even if we can find mineral water now, one day we will all use it." It’s over. Now Hedong City has been abandoned and there will no longer be support. In the future, fewer people will survive here. In the end, the entire Hedong City will become a wilderness. Should we live here for the rest of our lives? "
Luo Yuan was silent for a long time: "Then where do you think it will be safer?"
"Capital!" Huang Jiahui spit out two words.
"That place is more than a thousand kilometers away from here!" Luo Yuan said calmly: "I don't know what kind of dangers will happen on the road, and do you think the highway is still passable now? How many kilometers will it take to walk? God, can you survive the dangers in the middle safely?"
"But it won't be safe here for long!"
"But at least it's safe now." Luo Yuan stopped suddenly. No matter how good the reason was, he couldn't hide the weakness in it. He knew that he was cowardly, just like the choices of those who stayed in the air-raid shelter. He knew that Hedong City would become more and more dangerous, but he turned a blind eye because of the temporary peace.
At this time, Master Wang’s shout broke the dispute between the two.
"It's burning. There are so many mutant beasts. How many mutant beasts are hidden in this grassland!" Wang Shishi shouted, completely ignoring the pale faces of the other women.
Jin Meili clenched her hands tightly, and the joints on the back of her hands were turned white by her pinching. She looked at countless mutant beasts running around, and saw some even throwing themselves in the direction of Zhao Gang. She couldn't help but tremble with nervousness, and she quickly closed her eyes. Eyes and mouth open and close quickly.
Luo Yuan's five senses were sharp and he heard that she was praying to the Bodhisattva for blessing.
"Ah, Sun Xiaowu was bitten." Ning Xiaoran groaned, with fear in his eyes.
Luo Yuan looked over there through the window and saw Sun Xiaowu lying on the ground, with an insect the size of a puppy biting tightly at his trouser leg. Sun Xiaowu was obviously panicked, and he was poking wildly with the spear in his hand. But due to nervousness, every time failed. His crotch was wet, and he was so frightened that he became incontinent.
Several people around him hesitated for a moment, then quickly rushed towards this side with spears to support.
Several spears were poked here and there, but they were not accurate at all. These people had never practiced this kind of thing, and they did not dare to use force for fear of accidental injury. It took a long time to kill the mutated insect, but Chen Xianfeng was killed in the end. He finally rescued Sun Xiaowu by smashing the spear as a stick.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a mutated rat with a burnt body rushed over madly, jumped up high and bit Zhao Gang's throat.
His face was horrified, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block. The mutant rat bit his arm, and the remaining momentum directly threw Zhao Gang, whose hands and feet were already weak, to the ground. Zhao Gang screamed and swung his arms repeatedly, but this kind of The mutant rat is obviously quite ferocious, and once it bites it, it won't let go until it dies.
"Ah, Zhao Gang was bitten too!" Ning Xiaoran said again.
Do you think this is a live broadcast? Luo Yuan glared at her, so scared that Ning Xiaoran quickly shut her mouth.
When Jin Meili heard that something happened to Zhao Gang, her body trembled, and she quickly opened her eyes. When she saw that Zhao Gang was thrown to the ground by the mutant rat, she was stunned, her body swayed, and she almost fainted. When she recovered, she Anxiously, he begged Luo Yuan: "Brother Luo, please go and save Zhao Gang!"
Luo Yuan sighed secretly and shook his head: "The only ones who can save them are themselves. If they can't even deal with this difficulty, even if they survive today, they won't survive for a few days."
"Don't be nervous. The mutant rat can't bite through Zhao Gang's clothes at all. He will be fine." Huang Jiahui has also seen the clothes Luo Yuan synthesized this time. It is not so much clothes as armor. Now it just looks dangerous.
Jin Meili shook her head in despair, and suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, kowtowing heavily. The ground made a loud bang as she knelt down, and soon became stained with blood: "Brother Luo, I know you are a good person, so be a good person and help me to the end." , save his life, we will repay you by doing things like cows and horses in the future.”
Luo Yuan looked pitiful and was about to agree when the situation outside changed again.
Sun Xiaowu, who had just been rescued, felt that his previous behavior was really embarrassing and a little angry. Seeing that Zhao Gang had been bitten, he pounced on him without thinking and grabbed the mutant rat's throat tightly.
In this atmosphere of killing, Huo Dong forgot his fear for a moment. As soon as his head was covered, he held up a spear and rushed over with a roar. The tip of the spear penetrated the belly of the mutant rat, followed by several spears. .
"Get up, it's okay, Zhao Gang has been rescued." Huang Jiahui said quickly, walked over and helped Jin Meili up.
Jin Meili raised her head in surprise. At this time, her forehead was already bloody, and her face was covered with blood and tears. She glanced at the window doubtfully, and found that Zhao Gang had stood up, and the mutant rat had been thrown aside. There were blood holes all over his body.
She wiped away her tears, crying and laughing at the same time, she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Luo Yuan looked at this peaceful and joyful scene, and couldn't help but feel slightly moved in his heart.
… …
After going through a battle that seemed to Luo Yuan like a child playing house, the temperament of these people had vaguely changed. Maybe it was because they saw the strong defensive capabilities of their clothes, maybe they saw blood, these people became more... He is calm and is no longer as panicked as before when encountering mutant beasts.
Every subsequent battle was over quickly, and sometimes no help from others was even needed.
Low-level mutant beasts are not considered powerful in the first place. As long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter some weird mutant beasts, as long as they are a little bolder, even ordinary people without training can easily kill them.
Due to the improvement in efficiency, the grassland within a hundred meters of the new villa was completely burned and cleared in just half a day.
Gasoline was also used much less than expected. Only about eight barrels of 25 kilograms were used.
In fact, due to the windy weather today, in many cases, just spraying along a straight line can burn a hole of more than ten meters or even dozens of meters wide.
When they came back, almost everyone was injured, but most of them were skin injuries. The most serious one was Chen Xianfeng. Two fingers on his left hand were bitten off. His face was pale in pain, but he remained silent. Zhao Gang's arm was also bitten and turned purple. Fortunately, it was not broken and only the muscles were injured. It only takes a few days to heal.
Their clothes are all made of the skin of ghost locust trees. They are rough, hard, dense, and difficult to fold. They feel like they are wearing a thin layer of armor. Moreover, each piece is blue grade equipment, which is most suitable for this. For an untrained ordinary person who doesn't have clumsy movements, such clothes can offset most of the force even if he is bitten directly.
