Chapter 612 Chapter 614 Leaving
When the end of the world first came, the villagers knew that the village was located in a remote area and they could not count on rescue from the outside world, so they united and moved to the cave under Jiuhuan Mountain to survive together.
The young and middle-aged men in the village formed a hunting team to hunt prey and obtain treasures, while the elderly, the weak, women and children managed the logistics. In the face of life and death crisis, the villagers worked together to get through the most dangerous moment.
However, as time went by, various problems gradually emerged. First of all, the ratio of unmarried men and women in the village was unbalanced, and many of them were relatives of the same clan, which was not conducive to solving marriage problems. Moreover, many conflicts arose among the villagers. Some young people practiced the same skills, but their strength improved by leaps and bounds, while others made no progress at all. Gradually, the strength gap became larger and larger. The members of the hunting team who were strong, contributed the most, and faced the most dangers became dissatisfied with the way the resources obtained from hunting and daily necessities were evenly distributed among the group. In particular, families with young and middle-aged fathers and sons and no burden at home planned to leave.
Simply relying on hunting and gathering cannot meet all life needs. Essential daily necessities such as salt and cloth must be obtained from the outside world.
Therefore, someone needs to take the prey to a nearby safe area to exchange it for salt, cloth, weapons, etc.
After walking out of the cave and understanding the situation outside, the survivors were even more reluctant to stay in the cave, and the highly combat-capable members of the hunting team left the cave one after another.
Jiang Jie's parents and younger brother stayed with him at first to support the elderly, and later to wait for him.
A few days ago, Jiang's parents discussed that if they really couldn't wait for Jiang Jie, they would change the clues left on their house to the Mengjia Bay Safe Zone and let Jiang Jie go there to find them.
Wang Yao saw his friends in the hunting team leaving the cave one by one. He had wanted to leave for a long time, but he still had a grandfather with difficulty walking. Wang Yao had to take his grandfather with him. However, with his own strength, he could not protect his grandfather and get him to the safe zone safely. Therefore, none of the people who had left the cave before were willing to take them with them.
"Ayao, which safe zone do you want to go to?" Jiang Jie asked him.
"Isn't it the Mengjia Bay Safe Zone? It's the closest safe zone to us, and most of the people in our village have gone there!" Wang Yao scratched his head in confusion.
"If you are going to Mengjia Bay, that's no problem. We can leave tomorrow. I'll go talk to your grandfather." Jiang Jie has received the jade talisman message from Rong Xianxian, and they will arrive near Jiuhuan Mountain tomorrow.
"Great!" Wang Yao said with a happy smile, but then he hesitated, "Brother Jie, aren't you planning to go to the Mengjia Bay Safe Zone?"
"Let's go to Beijing!" Jiang Jie did not hide it from him.
"Capital, it's such a long journey, aren't you afraid of encountering any danger on the road?" Wang Yao exclaimed. Even before the end of the world, when transportation was convenient and the environment was safe, most people here had never been to Capital.
"Don't be afraid, there are many people in our team!" Jiang Jie couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
I have been separated from everyone for more than ten days, and I really miss them!
After dinner, Jiang Jie and Rong Xianxian contacted each other using the sound-transmitting jade talisman. The place where Rong Xianxian and his friends were camping tonight was very close to Jiuhuan Mountain, so they could use ordinary sound-transmitting jade talismans to communicate.
"Sister Rong, there are a few friends in the village who want to go with me. They plan to go to the Mengjia Bay safe zone. Can we give them a ride?" Jiang Jie asked.
"Of course. Have your family agreed to go to the capital with you?" Rong Xianxian was not surprised by Jiang Jie's question. After all, living in a cave was not a long-term solution.
"I agree, hehe!" Jiang's parents originally planned to go to the Mengjia Bay safe zone. Many families in the village who had moved away before went there, but Jiang Jie insisted on going to Beijing and persuaded Jiang Tao. Jiang's father and mother had to agree to their children's plan.
"Then we'll see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow, Sister Rong."
After they finished talking, they disconnected.
Jiang Jie held the jade talisman and grinned foolishly. He was in a good mood thinking that he could return to the team tomorrow.
"Xiao Jie, do you have a girl you like?" Jiang's mother suddenly appeared and asked Jiang Jie with a smile on her face.
"No, Mom. I'm in danger of losing my life at this time, so how can I have time to talk about love? Please don't think too much. I just want to practice well and strive to be promoted as soon as possible. I don't want to waste my time on other things!" Jiang Jie put the jade talisman into his pocket and said to Jiang's mother righteously.
"You are not young anymore, it's time for you to find a partner. How can you say this important event in life is a waste of time? I'm not a stubborn person who has to interfere in your emotional affairs. However, I'm an experienced person after all, and I can give you some advice for reference. If you really like a girl, you must tell your family!" Jiang's mother said naggingly.
"Okay, okay, Mom, I get it. If I have a girl I like, I will definitely tell you!" Jiang Jie responded repeatedly. He did miss home and his parents when he was not at home, but once he went home, he could not stay there for more than three days. He felt that he was not as free as he was outside.
"By the way, Xiaogang, Xiaoyong and Xiaobing came to your house to look for you. They are waiting outside our door now. You should go back and see if anything happens to them." Mother Jiang came out to look for Jiang Jie because of this matter.
"Okay, let's go!" Jiang Jie and Jiang Ma went back to the door of their house together. The so-called door was actually a stone wall that was specially left when the hole was dug.
Mother Jiang looked at the cave where her family lived and felt a little reluctant to leave. This cave was dug out bit by bit by her family of three, and it was kept clean and tidy, making it very warm and comfortable.
"Ajie, I heard that you promised to take Grandpa Wang with you. Can you take my grandpa with you too?"
"Ajie, we grew up together. When you were little, you loved eating the pickles made by my grandma. You took everyone else with you, so you can't leave my grandma behind!"
Jiang Jie didn't expect that he had only promised to take Wang Yao and his grandson to the Mengjia Bay safe zone, but within the time it took to have a meal, so many people knew the news.
A group of young people were talking at once. In the early days of the apocalypse, due to the advantage of collective hunting, the villagers obtained several books of martial arts. Therefore, although their qualifications and levels of cultivation varied, most of the young people in the village were practitioners. Therefore, they could all sense that the spiritual energy emanating from Jiang Jie was much stronger than theirs. Moreover, the fact that Jiang Jie could come home alone and bring back so many good things was enough to prove his great strength.
The strongest members of the hunting team have already left one after another. Life in the cave is becoming increasingly difficult. Leaving with Jiang Jie may be their last chance to leave this place.
