I Build a City in the Apocalypse

Xu Bai was reborn. She returned to ten years ago, to the fifth day after the apocalypse began. In this life, she didn't awaken any abilities; instead, she was bound to a system.

With ten ...

Chapter 71 Where did this weirdo come from?

These grains that had been soaked by the rain were placed on small carts and pushed out of Shuguang City one by one. They were pushed into an open space and set on fire.

When the grain started burning, everyone present felt sorry and no one left. They all waited for the grain to burn and clean the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing? How can you waste food like this?"

"Put out the fire quickly."

As soon as he turned around, he saw someone running towards him. He was furious and rushed into the fire. He picked up a brick and threw it into the fire, but he had no fire extinguisher or water and nothing around. He knew it was useless, so he had to dig around to see if he could dig out some food that had not been burned.

No one was cold-hearted by nature. Moreover, they had been in Dawn City for a month or two, and they usually got along with each other in a friendly manner, with neighbors helping each other. When they saw someone running into the fire to rescue some inedible food, they were afraid that the person would be burned as well, so they all stepped forward to stop the person.

"You can't eat these. Eating them will kill you."

"Stop pulling, let go."

"Why can't we eat it? It's fine, just a little dirty. You really don't know how hard it is to find food out there. You don't want this food, but we do."

"Whatever you want, we won't give it to you. Don't eat it and turn into a zombie, causing harm to more people."

Many people who were caught in the black rain turned into zombies. What about the food that had been caught in the rain? If they were eaten, there was a certain possibility that it would mutate.

When the people of Shuguang City saw Xu Baixia's decision to burn the grain, they knew that what they guessed was very likely.

"You guys are going too far. How did you turn into zombies?"

These people were the ones who came here on the same bus as Master Chen. After arriving at the outskirts of Dawn City, they spent a peaceful and comfortable night and slept until the sun came out. Then they remembered that they still had to join someone else's base, so they hurried over. What they didn't expect was that these people actually pushed out the food and burned it!

Burn it!

How many days have they not had enough to eat? Think about how many days have they not eaten cooked rice and vegetables?

Seeing that these vegetables, rice, etc. are just a little dirty on the surface, the people in the base will say that they will turn into zombies after death. If this is true, they would rather eat a lot and turn into a zombie than go hungry every day and worry about being bitten by zombies.

Seeing that they were about to crawl over again, the residents hurriedly dragged them to a farther place.

Today was Qin Qing's turn to guard the city. When he saw a group of people arguing and pulling each other not far from the city wall, he hurried out with Peng Hua and rushed back to see what was going on.

The people of Dawn City cannot allow themselves to be bullied at their doorstep for no reason.

As soon as Qin Qing and Peng Hua arrived, they heard the howling of several men. Perhaps they were afraid of attracting zombies, so the sound was suppressed a lot later.

"What's going on?" Qin Qing has an impetuous personality and always keeps her word. She wears the city security guard's clothes close to her body, high-top Martin boots on her feet, and her hair is tied up high. She has a healthy wheat-colored complexion, a deep voice, and an imposing aura. Usually, everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, calls her "Sister Qin".

"Sister Qin, Brother Hua and his group thought we were wasting food and wanted to rescue some, but these were inedible. We were worried about them getting into trouble, so we started to argue. Unexpectedly, they started crying. We told them not to eat them, but they didn't listen..."

Anyone who sees several men in their twenties, thirties and forties sitting on the ground crying would feel a headache.

Seeing that the pile of grain had been swept away, Qin Qing and Peng Hua asked people to clean up the things, and then went back to the city to work hard.

The residents wanted to leave, but were grabbed by the legs by the group of outsiders.

"You can't leave. Compensate us with some food."

Qin Qing and others: "..."

Peng Hua was very strong, so he walked forward and pulled everyone apart, allowing them to go back first. The residents knew the strength of Peng Hua and Qin Qing, so they could go back with peace of mind.

"Don't leave. If they leave, you two will have to pay for it!"

Qin Qing scratched his ears impatiently. "Where did these weirdos come from? We can't let them into our Dawn City. They look like troublemakers."

"Lao Hua, let's retreat."

"No, why don't you let us into the base? It was your people in the city who brought us here. We stayed out too late yesterday. Please let Master Chen come out."

"Yes, let him out quickly. We came from the same base and ran here together. Why can he go in but we can't?"

"Also, give us a bag of rice and we won't go in."

Hearing these bizarre remarks, Qin Qing and Peng Hua pushed them away and walked into Shuguang City without looking back.

These people wanted to follow in, but the gate was locked and the city wall was high, so they couldn't get in even if they wanted to climb over the wall.

"So much food wasted, and they refused to give us even a bag of rice. It's abominable! If it weren't for those people holding us back, we would have been able to get something to eat."

"It's just a little dirty, how can it kill people if eaten?"

"So much food can be wasted, there should be more food inside, right?"

"Then we can't get in."

"What's the big deal? Who would guard it 24 hours a day? We can wait until night or sneak in when there are more people around."

"If they don't come out at night, we'll just roll in when there are more people around. We'll go find food somewhere else and keep an eye on this place when we have time. I don't believe the people inside won't come out."

“…”

The group left cursing.

On the high platform of the city, Qin Qing and Peng Hua watched them walk away and rolled their eyes.

"These people are so weird. How dare they ask us to give them a bag of rice?"

"I don't know. They think they owe it to someone. They're being unreasonable. Master Chen is unlucky enough to run into these people. If he runs into them outside, won't he be blamed for it?"

Xu Bai and his companions returned, bringing back Master Chen. Everyone was very enthusiastic and had already started chatting. They knew that Master Chen was a bus driver with first-class driving skills and was able to save people from death. They all admired him very much.

Master Chen, who was unlucky enough to be criticized, heard their words as soon as he climbed up to the high platform on the wall. He took the telescope and saw the backs of a group of people he knew who were in the same base, and sighed.

"The man walking at the back is the former deputy of the base, Lin Qiaosheng. He used to have his brains a little off, but he was usually pretty easy to get along with. Ever since the base was gone, he's completely changed."

Qin Qing and Peng Hua looked over and found that the person who asked them to compensate for a bag of rice was Lin Qiaosheng mentioned by Master Chen. The corners of their mouths twitched.

How could Master Chen get along with such a person?

"He used to live in the same neighborhood as me. When he got out, he helped me."

"Didn't you help me in various ways later? It's even. Don't think too much about it. If you meet someone with such a drastic change in personality next time, you should avoid him, otherwise he will bother you." Peng Hua patted Master Chen's shoulder, and Master Chen nodded helplessly.

But Lin Qiaosheng and the others who left didn't think so.
