When Jiang He heard the noise outside, he let out a few prospective workers to exercise.
Cheng Yan looked around vigilantly, and waved the shovel in his hand desperately at the slightest sign of trouble.
A mutant wolf lurking in the dark took aim at its prey and whooshed down the hillside.
Just as the sharp claws were about to touch Cheng Yan's arm, a golden, long, unidentified object slammed heavily on the mutant wolf's body, sending it flying.
Cheng Yan, who was confused, was so frightened by this scene that he couldn't make a sound.
Does he look so fat that two beasts would fight over him?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Yan ran away. A teammate bumped into him and said in horror:
"Captain, what's going on? Why are those mutant beasts suddenly killing each other?"
Cheng Yan panted and shook his head: "I'm not sure either, let's just ignore it and run away.
Where's Li Zhan? Why don't I see him? "
"He ran off with the RV, and we couldn't get him back even if we shouted."
The worn flashlight illuminated the road in the valley, and the RV was no longer visible in their field of vision.
It was pitch black in the distance, and the mountains and forests on both sides seemed to hide countless pairs of green eyes, which was creepy.
As the team leader, Cheng Yan would not risk the lives of all team members for one person.
"Go, retreat!"
…
In the eerie and dark mountains, Jiang He kept making his way while eating.
There was a man following behind the RV. He was obviously exhausted, but he still ran stubbornly.
After eating the clay pot rice, Jiang He drank two sips of Coke, then drove the RV back a few dozen meters.
When it reached the man, it quickly stopped.
Jiang He leaned out of the car window and turned to look behind the car, "Hey, brother, do you have any points?"
Li Zhan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination as he limped and staggered to the car.
"What are the points you're talking about?"
"You can exchange your gold and silver jewelry for points from me. With the points, you can take my ride and pick up people in the mountains."
Jiang He didn't know the man's identity, but seeing him following her desperately, she knew there must be someone very important to her in the mountains.
Li Zhan was stunned for two seconds, then quickly lowered his head and fumbled around his body. He quickly pulled out a gold ring and a longevity lock from a pocket.
His hands were shaking noticeably, and the silver lock made a crisp jingling sound.
"Are these two okay?"
Jiang He nodded: "Okay."
She took out the black box and quickly helped him get a points card.
Two pieces of gold and silver jewelry were exchanged for two thousand points.
"500 points for an hour of ride-sharing, can you accept that?"
"able."
Li Zhan didn't care about points at all at the moment. He just wanted to get into the mountains quickly and find his wife and children.
After the car door opened, he sat in the second row, by the window.
Before I could even sit down, a face with black and white, white and black, suddenly appeared outside the window. It was like a ghost demanding someone's life, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.
Li Zhan's face turned pale instantly and he gasped in fear.
Jiang He glanced at the rearview mirror and explained, "Don't be afraid, that's a worker from our supermarket. He's just playing a joke on you."
After saying that, she scolded the worker outside, "Tuanzi, take it easy. Don't scare the customer to death. He's a passenger now. If he dies in the car, the supermarket will be responsible!"
Tuanzi hung his head and admitted his mistake very quickly.
"Master, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare the guests."
It’s all because the sky was too dark. If there was sunshine, the guests would see it as a cute little ball and wouldn’t be afraid.
Hearing what Jiang He said, Li Zhan was extremely shocked.
It turned out that the two groups of mutant beasts were not fighting for food, but the appearance of one of them saved the lives of their entire team!
The RV rushed forward at one moment and then quickly retreated at another.
People who don't get carsick will vomit all over the place if they encounter this situation.
Li Zhan was glad that he didn't eat much, so he had nothing to vomit even if he wanted to. He held on tightly to the handrail beside him and tried to adapt to the rhythm of the RV.
An hour later, Jiang He finally reached the main road outside the village.
The bright car lights illuminated the surrounding scenery clearly. Li Zhan's eyes were full of tension and anxiety, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He couldn't be sure whether his wife and children were still alive. If the final result was bad, he really didn't know how to face it.
…
Ningxi Village, village committee office building.
The more than 200 surviving residents all gathered in the first-floor lobby and discussed the next plans intensely regarding the problem of food shortage.
"I think it's time to let go of some useless people, such as the elderly and children who only hold us back.
Saving their food would be enough to feed others for another week.
The longer the timeline, the greater our chances of rescue."
These words are cruel, but we have to admit that they make some sense.
At the critical moment, if they don't make any sacrifices, they will be completely wiped out.
After a while, voices of rebuttal were heard from the crowd.
"Li Shun, aren't you too cruel? The elderly and children provoked you, so why can't they get food?"
The middle-aged man who was speaking had an old mother who was sitting next to him. Her face was distorted with anger at Li Shun's proposal.
“We are old and not as strong as you young people, but the food belongs to the collective, and it is not your turn to make the decision!
In order to survive, they let us old people and children starve to death. What's the difference between this and killing people directly? "
Li Shun looked directly at her, "Aunt Zhao, this is the end of the world. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is no longer important. The weak are destined to be eliminated, and only those with ability can survive."
Zhao Qiaozhen grabbed her son's arm and said, "Guobin, go and shut his mouth. He's saying all sorts of nonsense. He's just trying to stir up trouble!"
With the captain present, Yang Guobin didn't dare to act rashly, and quickly whispered to comfort his mother:
"Mom, don't worry, as long as I have something to eat, I won't let you starve to death."
Zhao Qiaozhen praised with satisfaction: "My son is so filial."
After the mother and son stopped, other survivors stood up and expressed their opinions.
"I agree with Li Shun's proposal. Using the lives of a few in exchange for the lives of the majority is very reasonable."
"You have no elderly or children at home, so of course it's easy for you to talk. Who can bear to watch their loved ones starve to death?"
"This is the only solution. Some of us will die, and all of us will perish together. You choose one."
"I won't choose. Things will work out in the end. I don't believe it. There really is no other way!"
…
Everyone was talking at once, and for a moment the hall was filled with noisy sounds.
Looking at the crowd in chaos, Captain Sun Tiequn's head was buzzing.
