Chapter 130 Chat, Shocking Discovery

The pasture area here is framed into squares of varying sizes, surrounded by fences and with roads leading in all directions.

Every family raises animals, and the number is quite large.

The ranch of Aunt Irene's house where they were going was very large, covering an area of ​​more than a hundred acres, with herds of cattle and sheep.

A group of people entered the home of rancher Irene. It was still early, not even eight o'clock, so everyone gathered together to chat, eat snacks, and make some cookies and desserts to pass the time.

Of course, their most important purpose was to take advantage of Nanxing's relaxation to ask some questions that Lei Lin and the others had not asked.

Nanxing naturally cooperated and soon let the cat out of the bag.

"Hey, you just said you have a brother, so where is your brother now?"

"Is he dead?"

A group of people gathered in the living room, eating cookies and drinking milk and chatting together, and a woman asked very bluntly.

"Brother is not dead, he just, he just..." Nan Xing opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue.

What should she say? She couldn't be sure whether her brother was alive or dead.

Nanxing lowered her eyes, unable to hide her disappointment. Where...was her brother?

If you are still alive, why don't you come to find her?

"Is your brother still alive?" Irene looked at Nanxing's expression carefully and soon found something wrong.

There was no sorrow on Lin Li's face that showed the loss of a loved one. It was understandable that she had no feelings for her parents who died young.

But for an elder brother who had supported each other since childhood, he would not have such an expression if he passed away.

From the conversation just now, it can be seen that she and her brother have a deep relationship. Lin Li's behavior makes Irene more inclined to believe that her brother is missing and his life or death is unknown.

"Missing?"

"..." Nanxing lowered his head and ate the biscuits silently without answering Irene's question.

Sometimes it is more appropriate to reveal some information and let them figure it out on their own.

That’s about it for today.

Nanxing's resistance made it impossible for the conversation to continue.

But this was nothing to Irene and the others, and the topic quickly turned to the zombies and outsiders.

Because of Nanxing's interference, the people in the ranch area knew about the poison gas bomb and the countdown for the poison gas release, and the relationship between the two sides became delicate.

"What on earth do they want to do? A bunch of idiots who have no eyes for children. They should be eaten by zombies."

A woman frowned, bit the biscuit fiercely, and cursed loudly in a hoarse voice.

"Keep your voice down." Helen gathered her cloak and reminded in a low voice.

Since those people are so scheming, they must be careful of eavesdroppers.

"They did it and are they afraid of what others will say?" The woman's voice became louder, and she kept spitting out curse words, and the other women around her followed suit.

"But why do you think they suddenly become so arrogant?" a woman asked curiously, frowning.

Just now in Helen and Leon's house, those people were not afraid at all, they were just a little annoyed that Nanxing had exposed their secret.

And it's not just the outsiders in the house. There are hundreds of outsiders in their ranch area, and the attitudes of other outsiders have been strange these past two days.

If these many outsiders did not have sufficient guns and ammunition, and their physical fitness and morale were uneven, it would be hard to say who has the final say in this place.

"That..." Nanxing said weakly.

"What's wrong, Lily?" Helen turned her head, looked at her with soft eyes, and asked softly.

"I discovered something when I was in the desert before, but I'm not quite sure." Nan Xing looked conflicted and a little uneasy.

"Um?"

Everyone looked at Nanxing, which made her very nervous and her face turned red little by little.

“That’s…that’s…”

"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if what I said is wrong. We are all family." Irene smiled kindly to soothe Nanxing's emotions.

This is a very skillful way of saying it. "Our own people," in the current situation, are all the living people in the ranch considered our own people? Or are the survivors of this country considered our own people?

"When I was injured, they took me to the desert oasis, that oasis..." Nanxing bit her lip lightly and looked up at them anxiously.

"The water level in that oasis lake is dropping very quickly."

"Soon? How soon?"

"I stayed there for a few days, and the price dropped so much in a short time." Nanxing stretched out his thumb and index finger to indicate the distance.

"Hiss, Lily, could it be that you saw it wrongly?" The women were shocked. Did this little girl mean that there was going to be a drought?

If a drought were to come, those of us who make a living from raising livestock would...

Nan Xing shook her head. "The growth of many plants along the way is not optimistic, and the weather is getting hotter."

"Indeed, the weather these days has been unusually hot." A woman agreed, saying that the temperature in their place would not exceed 40 degrees Celsius.

Thirty degrees Celsius is already a high temperature.

"Lily, this is not what you want to say, right?" Irene looked straight at Nanxing with sharp eyes.

"..." Nan Xing twisted her fingers nervously, "If I tell you, can I leave earlier? I want to go back and tell Mr. Leir and the others the news."

In fact, Nanxing didn’t care whether she left or not, but she had to pretend to leave and maintain her image. Even if she left, she would not return to the oil field town immediately.

"Tell me first."

Nanxing pouted and looked at Irene pitifully. What this meant was that she couldn't leave.

But she had no intention of taking advantage of them. They were all good people, and those outsiders were bad and had been exploiting and deceiving them.

"I suspect... those outsiders can predict the time and specific circumstances of the disaster in advance." Nan Xing lowered her voice, and her voice was so soft that a light breath could interrupt her words.

“!!!”

What Nan Xing said shocked everyone present. They could predict what it meant!

This, this is too... chilling.

"Lily, what you said... do you have any evidence?" As soon as Irene spoke, she found that her voice was terribly hoarse. She broke out in a cold sweat and her palms were wet.

"I have no actual evidence." Nanxing shook his head and lowered his eyes.

She must stir up conflict between the survivors and the players so that she can reap the benefits.

There is no substantial evidence...

Irene couldn't tell whether she was relieved or regretful, as they were aware of the strange behavior of those outsiders.

But they still pretended not to know.

They are afraid that they cannot bear the truth of the matter.

What Lin Li just said... Ailin smiled bitterly. Some things cannot be eliminated by avoiding them.
