Chapter 311: Definitely Not a Simple Person

At ten o'clock in the morning, a dozen men and women came to the vicinity of the scorched forest.

They were from the Jing City base and had left the base early in the morning to search for supplies nearby.

I don’t know if I was unlucky today, but I searched for a long time but didn’t find any supplies.

In the past, I could find animals in the nearby mountains, but today I searched the entire mountain and found nothing.

Maybe it’s because the weather is too cold, causing the animals to run away somewhere to avoid the extreme cold.

"Why are we here?"

Someone looked up and found that they had come to this scorched forest.

Everyone at the base knew that a fire more than a year ago burned down the entire forest.

If the base had not sent people to put out the fire, there is no telling how much damage would have been done to the nearby forests, and supplies would have certainly become increasingly scarce.

The several big mountains nearby have allowed many people to survive.

If you search every day, you can find some supplies.

There was only this scorched forest, and no supplies could be found.

Gradually, no one would come here.

Today was also strange. They were walking and walking and actually came here.

"Let's go back."

Someone suggested that they didn't want to waste time here.

"How about we go and have a look, just in case we can find it?"

A cute young girl raised her hand and made a suggestion.

Her good friend who was standing next to her heard her say this and also suggested going to take a look.

Anyway, I'm here, what if I'm lucky enough to find supplies?

Everyone looked at a man in his early thirties.

The man's name is He Sheng, and he is the captain of this group.

There were more than sixty people in their team at the base, but only sixteen of them came out today.

After a whole morning, they had gained nothing. If they went back like this, it would be a disaster.

He Sheng looked at the scorched forest ahead and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

He really had no choice but to go in and try his luck.

Everyone agreed, shrank their necks, and walked towards the forest.

A cold wind blew past, and more than a dozen people shivered and huddled together, hoping to stay warm.

The weather is so unpredictable. Fortunately, they have thick clothes to wear, otherwise they would not be able to go out.

Half an hour later, everyone got nothing and was dejected, not knowing what to do.

The well-behaved girl Li Keke felt a little guilty because it was she who suggested going up the mountain, but in the end they found nothing.

She was about to say something when she seemed to see something by accident.

Li Keke was confused and strode towards the place she saw.

"Coco, where are you going?"

The person asking the question was a friend Li Keke made after the end of the world, and he caught up with Li Keke without even thinking about it.

“Someone lives here.”

Li Keke stood not far away and turned around to tell everyone.

She was not mistaken. There were actually people living in this scorched forest.

When Li Keke's friend saw it, his eyes widened in surprise, "There really is someone living here!"

He Sheng and his men ran over and looked ahead together.

A wooden house stood in a shallow pit, and a circle of barbed wire was surrounded about ten meters around the house.

"What is this? Barbed wire?"

Li Keke raised her hand curiously and wanted to touch the barbed wire.

He Sheng was startled and grabbed her hand, "Are you trying to kill yourself? This is an electric fence."

He could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary barbed wire, and he almost got into trouble.

Li Keke was still frightened, and the corners of her lips trembled slightly, "Thank you, Brother He."

"Who is so powerful that he actually settled here and set up an electric fence?"

A teammate stepped forward to take a look, feeling both admiration and shock.

"He is definitely not a simple person."

The only people who can live outside the base without going to the base are ordinary people or capable people.

The person in front of them was definitely not an ordinary person, even though they had not seen him yet.

There was a noise coming from the wooden house. A dozen people looked frightened and watched vigilantly and carefully.

The door of the wooden house was opened and a young man and woman walked out.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are wearing clean and thick down jackets, hats and scarves.

Gu Luan and Jiang Xian stood behind the electric fence, their eyes fixed on the group of people.

They have been in this mountain for more than half a month and have never seen anyone else, but today they have a rare guest.

What were they thinking? They couldn't find any supplies on this mountain, so why did they come here?

Both sides were sizing each other up.

Unlike Gu Luan and Jiang Xian's calmness, He Sheng and his group gasped in their hearts when they looked at Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.

"Sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you. Let's go now."

He Sheng saw at a glance that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian were not easy to mess with, and was afraid that they would be angry, so he quickly spoke.

No one dared to delay and turned around to leave.

"Are we really going to go back? We didn't find anything today. How are we going to explain this to the other teammates?"

"How about we look around?"

"No, we've been out there for quite a while, and our bodies can't handle it."

The group spoke in low tones, sad about not finding any supplies.

Their team has more than sixty people and they need to consume a lot of supplies every day.

There wasn't much food left to begin with, and we got nothing today. I really don't know what to do.

"Wait a moment."

Behind them, a clear voice called out to the depressed crowd.

A group of people stopped and looked back in panic.

Are those two people unwilling to let them go?

"I'm sorry, it was our fault just now, please don't hurt them."

As the captain, He Sheng stood up and stood in front of his teammates.

The remaining people grabbed his hands and looked at Gu Luan and Jiang Xian in panic.

They were thinking, if Gu Luan and the other man took action, should they fight or run away.

"Don't get me wrong, we don't mean to hurt you."

Gu Luan chuckled, understanding the fear of these people.

After hearing Gu Luan's explanation, He Sheng and his group relaxed.

"Excuse me?"

He Sheng asked doubtfully.

"I have some work here. Would you like to do it? Six hours of work and three pounds of sweet potatoes."

Gu Luan gave a generous supply of supplies.

"Three pounds of sweet potatoes in six hours of work? You're not lying, are you?"

"Really?"

Some people are skeptical, some are happy.

"Brother He, shall we do it?"

Li Keke looked at He Sheng and asked him to make the decision.

There are sixteen of them here. If they work for six hours, they can get 48 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

This is no small amount.

Logically they shouldn't hesitate, after all it was too tempting.

But is there such a good thing in the world? Are these two people trustworthy?

He Sheng didn't say anything, but looked up at Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.

“Let’s do it!”

His voice was powerful and had a slight tremor.

Having gained nothing today, they cannot let this opportunity slip away.

The two people in front of him didn't look like bad guys, so maybe they could give it a try.

"Let's do it."

"What are you afraid of? Just do it."

He Sheng spoke, and no one else objected. They all raised their hands in approval with great enthusiasm.

Gu Luan and Jiang Xian walked out of the electric fence and stood in front of them.

"Are you sure?"

Gu Luan asked them again and looked at the sixteen people carefully.

They all seem to be good people and suitable for the job.

No one has entered the space to work for a long time. This time there are fewer people, so let them all use the machines. Six hours will be enough.

"Sure, we're all willing to work."

Only a fool would not eat three pounds of sweet potatoes in six hours.

Gu Luan smiled and nodded, looking at Jiang Xian.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Gu Luan brought everyone into the space.
