The entire wedding was officiated by Feng Xuanlang, with Commander Li giving a speech as an elder. Everyone in the villa complex served as witnesses, offering their blessings to the newlyweds.
Throughout the event, numerous mini-games were interspersed, with prizes for winning, such as dolls, toys, and snacks, igniting wave after wave of enthusiasm.
The banquet was what Yuewu looked forward to the most, because in recent days, many of the older women had been learning cooking skills from Xiao Qiao, so the cooking level in the villa complex had improved dramatically.
The aroma of food lingered over the villa complex, tempting everyone to dig in.
So as soon as the meal started, everyone competed to see who could grab the food the fastest, and no one held back.
Throughout the wedding, everyone was in high spirits and had a very lively time.
But no one expected that the villa complex would face its first crisis that night.
Because everyone had drunk some alcohol at the banquet during the day, they were all sleeping quite soundly.
It took Xiao Yi a long time to wake Le Wu up.
"Mom, there are more than 30 people outside damaging the fence."
One sentence jolted the dazed Yue Wu awake, instantly raising goosebumps all over her body.
It's not that I'm afraid because more than 30 people are coming, but that the peace and tranquility of this area has been completely shattered starting today.
Without hesitation, Yuewu immediately got up to inform everyone.
Arriving in front of the large monitoring screen, I saw a group of people gathered together, fiddling with something.
Yuewu turned on the loudspeaker directly. Feng Xuanlang had collected it by chance and was just thinking of installing one just in case. He never expected to use it today.
"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! Intruders have invaded! Intruders have invaded!..."
After repeating this several times, the lights in each house in the villa complex slowly came on.
Meanwhile, the group of people in front of the fence were still trying to figure out how to get in without getting electrocuted.
Some of them tried using fire-based abilities to burn it, but it didn't have much effect even after half a day.
With only one earth-type ability, he could only pile up a half-meter-high earthen mound in half a day, and he was exhausted.
There were only a few wood-type ability users, five in total, who took turns catalyzing plant ladders to make it easier to climb over.
But they were discovered, and the sudden loudspeaker almost scared the soul out of them.
They all wanted to run away, but the leader spoke up, "Stay calm, don't panic. We haven't done anything. Since we can't defeat them, let's join them."
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it wasn't bad, since they had heard from one of their underlings that the people in the villa complex were having a wedding that afternoon, and the banquet would consist entirely of meat dishes.
Even now, standing here, they can still smell the meat.
It's easy to imagine what kind of life the people here lead!
Feng Xuanlang was the first to come out, holding a steel bar in his hand, looking at the group of people opposite him with cold eyes.
Soon after, about a hundred people, men, women, and children, all carrying weapons, came running out.
At the front were young adults, armed mainly with steel bars and knives; next were children, carrying crossbows; and at the very back, women and elderly people were lying on the wall, all carrying guns.
The group of people opposite grew increasingly alarmed as they looked back, wondering what kind of place this was.
Not only are there high-voltage electric fences for defense, but the people inside also have pistols and crossbows.
Is it too late to run away now?
Everyone started to panic, repeatedly shouting to their leader, "What do we do now? They have guns, and they outnumber us!"
"I want to go home and find my mom!"
"I want to too!"
The gang leader gave the two men a whack on the back of the head, then immediately put on a smiling face and greeted them.
"Hello everyone! We mean no harm. It's not easy to survive these days, with zombies everywhere. We need to work together to survive, so we'd like to join you. What do you think?"
"Oh, there are 11 people with superpowers among us. They can fight zombies and protect everyone. Can we become one of them?"
Before Feng Xuanlang could speak, a voice came from afar: "How many of you are there in total?"
Le Wu strolled over leisurely, wielding a steel rod in his hand.
When the leader saw that the person was a young girl, everyone treated her very differently. Being a shrewd person, he became even more respectful.
"There are more than 57 of us in total, and there are 32 of us here now."
Le Wu raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Don't lie!"
Gang leader: "..."
How am I supposed to answer that? If I told the truth that I came here to rob someone, wouldn't I die even faster?
The gang leader, looking troubled, finally spoke up: "Because you had a banquet today, our men smelled the food and came to steal it."
Since neither option is correct, let's choose the lesser of two evils!
Yue Wu naturally understood his meaning and scoffed.
Without any hesitation, he said, "Do you think I believe that?"
The gang leader's cheek twitched; everyone knew what was going on.
"No matter what, you definitely won't believe me, so I won't waste my breath. Just tell me what to do next?"
Instead of acting on her own initiative, Yue Wu stood next to Feng Xuanlang and Commander Li, wanting to hear their opinions.
As soldiers, Commander Li and his comrades certainly didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
But since these people wanted to steal from people's homes while they were asleep in the middle of the night, they were definitely not good people.
Sending them back might just bring even bigger trouble.
Le Wu was absolutely right. The gang leader had already planned that as long as he could get back, he would definitely join forces with Tu Yan, the local bully from the neighboring community, to take over this place.
He'll then take all the other party's supplies, pistols, and even people, and he'll throw a banquet for them.
Commander Li concluded by saying, "The adults can watch from the sidelines, while the children spar with them; it'll be a good opportunity for them to get some practice."
As soon as the words were uttered, the adults were stunned, while the children were eager to try.
After all, every time the adults who went out told them about their experiences, it made the children's blood boil with excitement.
So how could they not be excited when they had such an opportunity to show their skills?
Even now, each child is already thinking about how many people they want to defeat.
Yue Wu understood what Commander Li meant. They usually couldn't bear to let the children face zombies, so they had no way to let them truly experience combat with their superpowers. Therefore, this was a good opportunity.
I also want to prove that if we can't even beat a child, then they won't dare to cause trouble again.
Yuewu felt that Commander Li was thinking too highly of himself; this was the apocalypse where people were devoured without spitting out their bones!
Since these people have already determined that there are enough supplies in the villa complex, they will not give up easily.
Greed is the true nature of humanity in the apocalypse; otherwise, how could they survive?
Seeing that Feng Xuanlang also agreed with Commander Li's decision, Yue Wu didn't say anything more, but she was already thinking about what else she could do to strengthen the defense.
