Chapter 109 Stone House

When Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen got out of the car, they unsurprisingly attracted a lot of attention.

But Liu Da was worthy of being the leader. When he saw that Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian's faces were not right, he immediately came to his senses and scolded his subordinates harshly.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but look at him with higher regard.

After the Lin family members got off the car, Qiao Yu noticed that a hint of barely perceptible excitement slowly flashed across Liu Da's eyes.

Qiao Yu touched his chin thoughtfully.

Excited? Excited because there were so many people?

Are they really going to capture people for hard labor? So the more people, the better?

Just as Qiao Yu was thinking, he heard Liu Da pulling Cheng Sinian aside and saying with an embarrassed look on his face, "Brother Cheng, it's really not that I don't give you face. It's mainly because the village is currently under construction, so cars are not allowed to drive in."

Liu Da raised his hand and pointed to a forest not far away. "That's our centralized parking spot. Don't worry, there are special people guarding it in the village. Your car will definitely not be lost."

Qiao Yu looked in the direction he pointed and found a row of giant mutant trees in that direction. Behind them was a specially cleared open space. It could be vaguely seen that there were many vehicles parked there.

Yu Qingchuan heard this and looked at Qiao Yu with a questioning look. Qiao Yu nodded first, then glanced in the direction of the woods. Yu Qingchuan immediately understood and took a step forward before Cheng Sinian could speak. He smiled warmly at Liu Da and said, "Okay, then we'll listen to Brother Liu."

Yu Qingchuan patted Cheng Sinian's shoulder and said, "You guys go in first. Lin Chi and I will drive the car over."

Cheng Sinian saw Yu Qingchuan wink at him and realized that he was going to the woods to check the situation, so he nodded and said, "Then you two should go quickly and come back soon."

After Yu Qingchuan and Lin Chi drove away, Liu Da still did not bring them in. He just stood there, looking at Wang Zha who was staring at him with a slightly fearful expression.

"This... beautiful lady, will this wolf hurt anyone? Can you put a muzzle on it or something?"

Qiao Yu shook his head. "No need. It's very well behaved and won't hurt anyone."

Seeing Qiao Yu's refusal, Liu Da gave a somewhat awkward laugh, "But... after all, there are still quite a lot of people in the village. If something goes wrong, I can't bear it..."

"I can guarantee that as long as we are safe, it won't hurt anyone." Qiao Yu curled his lips confidently, "Don't worry, if anything really happens, I'll take responsibility."

"This..." Liu Da was still a little hesitant, but seeing Qiao Yu's firm attitude, he rolled his eyes slightly and nodded, "Okay. In that case, let's go into the village."

After following Liu Da through several rows of giant mutant trees, everyone finally saw the "true appearance" of Nan Liu Village.

Rows of houses formed a ring, neatly and densely packed together in the open space ahead. Some were still under construction, with men sweating profusely around them. In the distance, wisps of smoke rose from the houses in the center of the ring.

If you ignore the outermost steel plates and iron nets, this scene does look somewhat peaceful before the end of the world.

Seeing Qiao Yu staring at the steel plates with a frown on his face, Liu Da smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid, everyone. These steel plates and iron nets are there to defend against foreign enemies and protect everyone's safety!"

Qiao Yu lowered his eyes, feeling extremely heavy in his heart.

She paid attention to those steel plates not because she was afraid, but because, if she remembered correctly, the steel plates with the G City stamp were materials specially supplied by the survivor base.

Qiao Yu had just glanced at the water they used to mix the cement. It was contaminated water that had been filtered and purified. This technology was also discovered by the Survivor Base Research Institute in the previous life.

This water is not drinkable, but it can be used in construction projects. Many houses in the survivor base in City B in the previous life were built in this way.

All of this seemed to confirm what Liu Da said.

——This is the small survivor base that is being secretly established in City G.

But... Qiao Yu had never heard in his previous life that City G had established a small base outside.

And although the people here seem to behave normally, the atmosphere is vaguely strange.

So many people were working, but almost no one was talking.

Everyone was working hard, some people's fingers were bleeding, but they were still working hard. Even when Qiao Yu and his group passed by, no one even looked up at them.

General Liu led the group to a few adjacent houses. Yu Qingchuan and Lin Chi, who had just parked the car, also returned to the group.

The houses were small, one-room buildings made of stone and cement. Each room had a single, stone-built kang (kang), and the windows were made of discarded glass glued together. They didn't look very sturdy, but they were manageable.

Because the house was too small, everyone had to live separately. Finally, after some discussion, the Qiao Yu family of five shared a room, while the Lin family of eleven plus Fang Lin, a total of twelve people, shared two rooms.

Liu Da seemed a little dissatisfied with their personnel allocation. "Don't be polite, everyone. There are still quite a few empty houses. It must be uncomfortable for so many of you to squeeze into one room. How about giving us a few more rooms?"

Cheng Sinian raised the corner of his lips and waved his hand, "No need, Brother Liu, we are used to living together outside. If we really separate, we are afraid that something will happen!"

Liu Da's face froze when he heard this, but then he smiled as usual and said, "Brother Cheng, what are you talking about? Our village is very safe!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian just smiled lazily and did not respond, making it clear that he did not want to separate.

Seeing this, Liu Da didn't insist any further, "...Okay. Since none of you mind, I won't meddle in your business anymore."

"Everyone, have a good rest first. After dinner tonight, if you really feel bad, go outside and help out and do some work."

Cheng Sinian nodded, "Okay. Thank you, Brother Liu."

"Hey, don't be so polite to me!" Liu Da laughed and waved his hands, saying in a relaxed tone: "Then we'll leave first."

When he turned around, Liu Da's expression changed in an instant and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

After walking a distance, Liu Da whispered to the people behind him, "Xiao Zheng, you, Liuzi, and Xiao Chen stay here and keep a close eye on them. Be careful not to get too close, or the wolf will notice you."

"Zhu Zi, come with me to see the boss first."

The four people behind him nodded when they heard this and whispered, "Okay."

As soon as Liu Da finished speaking, Jiang Zhan withdrew his mental power and set up a mental barrier in the room, "They are going to see their boss."

Qiao Yu thought for a moment, then pulled Jiang Zhan to his feet and said to Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen, and Yu Qingchuan, "Zhan and I will go over and take a look. You stay inside and be careful."

There are too many people in the village, and it would be very mentally taxing for Jiang Zhan to manipulate the five senses of so many people, so naturally the fewer people who go, the better.

All three nodded silently.

Jiang Zhan picked up Qiao Yu and wrapped them both with his mental power. Then, ignoring the three people who were watching him outside the house, he quickly caught up with Liu Da and ran towards the center of the ring.
