Chapter 614 Collective Property
Rong Xianxian and Shen Lishu got out of the car and walked towards Jiang Jie, "Ajie!"
"Sister Rong, this is my mom and dad, and this is my younger brother Jiang Tao. Mom and Dad, I told you about Sister Rong, my savior. If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago!" Jiang Jie introduced his father and mother.
"Hello, uncle and aunt. Don't listen to what Ajie said. In fact, we have always been helping each other!" Rong Xianxian greeted Jiang Jie's parents.
"Doctor Rong, Ajie told me that he was trapped by a wolf monster and his leg was bitten off. If you hadn't treated him in time, he would have died. Later, he was scratched by the monster and poisoned, and it was you who risked your life to find medicine for him. Doctor Rong, you saved Xiaojie's life, which is equivalent to saving our whole family. I really don't know how to thank you!" Jiang Jie's mother said affectionately while holding Rong Xianxian's hand.
"Auntie, Ajie and I have been supporting each other since the end of the world. We are as close as brothers. You don't have to be polite!" Rong Xianxian responded with a smile.
At this time, Hong Jun, the team leader of the Flame Mercenary Group led by Jiang Jie, ran over excitedly, "Brother Jie, you are back. During the time you were away, I was so worried that I almost went bald."
Hong Jun followed Jiang Jie to learn how to set traps. During the time when Jiang Jie was away, he was responsible for setting traps around the campsite.
"You will be able to stand on your own sooner or later, so just treat this as advance practice. Sister Rong said that you have done a good job during this period, which makes me proud!" Jiang Jie said, patting Hong Jun on the shoulder.
"Hehe!" Hong Jun grinned foolishly. This period of time was indeed a great exercise for him.
"Jiang Tao, you take my parents to the car first. Hong Jun, please help me greet my parents and brother, I will be there soon." Jiang Jie said to Jiang Tao and Hong Jun.
Jiang Jie had to stay and greet the villagers to get on the trucks. The truck compartments were not all empty. Some of the trucks were loaded with goods. Some vehicles had roofs and some did not. Everyone would definitely like to ride in vehicles with roofs, so Jiang Jie needed to stay and coordinate.
Rong Xianxian said hello to Jiang Jie's parents and went back to the RV. She didn't have to worry about the rest. With the speed of their convoy, it would only take a day to get from here to the Mengjia Bay safety zone. They would escort the villagers there and stay for one night before continuing their journey tomorrow.
Jiang Jie arranged for the villagers to get on the car. Several of the villagers came by car, and they hoped that Jiang Jie could arrange for them to transport their vehicles to a safe area. They were in a mountainous area, and most of the vehicles purchased by the villagers before the end of the world were off-road vehicles, which were quite sturdy.
They heard from those who had been to the safe zone that vehicles that were well preserved before the apocalypse can now be sold for a lot of money. This is mainly because if there is a car at home, it cannot be driven to the safe zone without gasoline!
The gasoline that can be found nearby has long been used up, and can only be exchanged in the safe zone, which is difficult to find outside.
Hearing the requests of those families, everyone looked at Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie saw that there were many empty vehicles in the fleet and thought that these vehicles should be able to accommodate all the people. He was about to agree when Wang Yao pushed him from behind. Jiang Jie turned around to look at him, and Wang Yao winked at him.
"Xiao Jie, our car doesn't take up much space. If there is really no space, we can just find a rope to tie it to the roof of the car, right? The roof is empty anyway." An aunt in the village said.
"Aunt Wang, please don't create problems for Brother Jie. There is oil in the cars in our village, but not many can be driven. The vehicles are intact, but there are many that cannot be driven because of no oil. If Brother Jie agrees to help you transport the cars, do other families want to transport their cars?" Wang Yao couldn't help but speak.
"Aren't all the other cars away?" Aunt Wang looked around and said with a grim expression.
"Aunt Wang, our village is just ahead. If Xiaojie can transport the car, we can carry it over in less than five minutes." Someone said with a smile.
"Everyone stop arguing. Jiang Jie was able to take us to the safe zone, which has already solved our predicament. We can't push our luck further. Now it seems that the team is still able to take these cars. Originally, these cars belonged to individuals, but the oil was collective. If everyone wanted to take their own cars, no one would be able to take away today. So, these cars will be considered collective property in the future. After all, we have to survive in the safe zone, and by then it will definitely be better for us to stick together than to trust strangers, right!" The former village chief spoke up.
"Since the village chief said so, I have no objection!" The villagers expressed their agreement.
The elderly, the weak, women and children are all arranged in cars with roofs, while young and middle-aged people are arranged in cars without roofs. No one has any objection to this.
Along the way, Wang Yao and others were surprised to see the people from the Tianhe Mercenary Group killing monsters so skillfully. Those monsters that looked ferocious and terrifying were vulnerable in their hands. The monsters were killed before the vehicle stopped. They were even too lazy to pick up the monster corpses. Jiang Lei felt very distressed when he saw this, but he knew that it was precisely because the villagers filled the empty carriages that there was nowhere to put these killed monsters.
In order to save time, everyone was given a simple meal at noon and then they continued on their journey.
In the evening, the convoy led by Rong Xianxian arrived at the Mengjia Bay safe zone.
"Madam, do we need to go into the city?" Pan Yang contacted Rong Xianxian through the jade sound transmission talisman.
"No need. Let Jiang Jie send these villagers to the city gate, and we will set up camp where we stayed last time!" It is very troublesome to check people and vehicles entering and leaving the city gate. This time is enough for them to arrange the camp safely and comfortably.
"Okay!" Pan Yang agreed, and the convoy stopped 500 meters away from the city gate.
Jiang Jie directed the villagers to get off the vehicles. When the villagers learned that the convoy was going to Beijing and had no intention of staying in the Mengjia Bay safety zone, they all looked conflicted and hesitant.
It would be great if they could go to Beijing with us. It would definitely be safer there and the children would be able to have better development.
But they also knew that this was impossible.
Someone at the city gate saw the situation here. When they saw that Rong Xianxian's convoy did not seem to have any intention of entering the city, they came out to inquire.
Upon learning that this team was a mercenary group sent from the capital, the soldiers guarding the city gate warmly invited them to enter the city. They also told Jiang Jie that if they escorted survivors outside the safe zone to the safe zone, the safe zone would give the team a certain reward.
Pan Yang rejected the soldiers' invitation and said that the reward could be given directly to the villagers.
Then, the convoy of thirty vehicles turned around and left.
