Chapter 49



Xiaoyue shouted and ran desperately towards the village. She saw dozens of shadows at a glance and she was sure she couldn't defeat them all.

Hurry up and follow Zhou Guangzong's instructions to ensure your own safety first!

Startled by her shout, the people led by Hong Hu did not react for a while and wanted to capture the hostage first. It was not until Xiaoyue ran away that they realized that this so-called raid must have failed.

"Fuck, then just do it, I've never been afraid of anyone before!!"

Hong Hu roared and rushed forward.

Soon, the Zhoujiawu people led by Zhou Guangzong and the group led by Hong Hu faced each other in a ruin!

Except for Zhou Guangzong who looks relatively good, the looks of the others who encountered this situation for the first time were really weird.

At least the girls were definitely wearing clothes, but they were just crooked. For example, Zhou Yaozu was just wearing a pair of shorts and ran out with a hatchet in his hand.

The elegant image of the past is completely gone!

The only thing to be thankful for is that after this period of training, Zhou Yaozu's beer belly has disappeared, making his exposed upper body at least not so eye-catching.

However, Lin Luo and Yun Shu never showed up. I don’t know if they were just watching from the side or if they were not ready yet.

"What are you guys up to in Zhoujiawu late at night?"

Zhou Guangzong was playing with a gun in his hand, and at the same time, a blade reflecting the moonlight floated in front of him. The momentum and the scene immediately gave people a feeling that he was not easy to mess with.

But Hong Hu is not someone who can be frightened!

As a professional debt collector, he'd seen it all. He chuckled and then spoke bluntly, "It's nothing serious. My brothers and I haven't had enough to eat lately, so we wanted to borrow some from you."

This is a bit shameless!

Zhou Xiang is the first one? I can’t help it.

"Bah! Borrow? You're obviously trying to rob me!"

"Little guy! So what if I rob you? If you have the guts, call the police to arrest me?!" As Hong Hu said this, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, isn't this our Officer Xiao Zhao? When did you become a member of Zhoujiawu?!"

Since Zhao Tao is an auxiliary police officer, and the town is so small, he has actually dealt with people like Hong Hu several times. "Stop talking nonsense, and come on!"

He had some understanding of Hong Hu. He was a man who would never give up until he achieved his goal. He had even slashed himself with a knife in order to collect a debt. In a nutshell, he was a ruthless person!

So I will never give up my goal just because of a few words.

Zhao Tao glanced at the nearly twenty people brought by Hong Hu. Some of them were familiar faces, and many had been in police station before.

Looking at our side, we have the old, the weak, the small... all of them!

——This time it’s not easy.

——If it weren’t for Lin Luo…

Zhao Tao understood everything and had no intention of backing down. He didn't know why Lin Luo hadn't shown up yet. Maybe he was testing them, so he couldn't retreat.

Zhou Guangzong once commented that Zhao Tao was a "bold but careful person", which was absolutely correct. If a person like him had a slightly crooked heart, he would probably become an outlaw!

"Tsk." Hong Hu spat on the ground. "Do you think I like to talk nonsense? Look at you guys? There's even a child?"

"Wait, if I really start chopping you, I won't show any mercy!"

Indeed, the strength of the two sides seemed quite different. The younger brother behind Hong Hu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Why are you so stubborn? We don't usually kill people. Just take out the food. Maybe we can leave some for you."

His words were not meant to deceive Zhou Guangzong and the others. Compared with some teams that would kill those who disobeyed, this team was truly "humane". They killed people, but most of the time they just robbed them.

He is considered to be the taller one among the short ones.

At this moment, a mountain wind blew through the ruins, making a humming sound, which inexplicably made the scene seem a bit desolate!

"Answer quickly!"

Hong Hu had no patience. "If you guys know what's good for you, I might be willing to protect you for a while. Otherwise, do you think we're the only ones interested in Zhoujiawu?!"

What Hong Hu revealed made Zhou Guangzong's face turn slightly dark. He was eager to demolish the house and strengthen the protection because of this.

The supply team going out every day will definitely attract some people's attention. No matter how remote Zhoujiawu is, it is still a few hours' walk from the town. When the day comes when food is insufficient, there will definitely be many people willing to come and give it a try. I just didn't expect that day to come so soon.

This also reflects from the side that the situation in the town is indeed not very good!

At this moment, the tense atmosphere seemed to be just one point away from an explosion, and there was an illusion that one could draw a knife and start slashing in the next second.

"What if, you don't know what's best for you?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice broke the mysterious atmosphere.

Walking in the moonlight, one step, two steps...

Lin Luo walked out from behind the ruins calmly.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the exposed skin was so white that it seemed to glow in the moonlight. Her dark eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars, which was breathtaking.

"Oh my god, a goblin?"

A younger brother behind Hong Hu couldn't help but mutter, his eyes almost popping out.

But then he felt a murderous aura, and when he turned his gaze, he saw the black-faced god next to the "goblin".

Because Yun Shu's skin color was relatively dark, Lin Luo didn't notice him for a moment, but when he got closer...

Seeing this man who was about two meters tall and had a strong build, Hong Hu couldn't help but frown.

He had been hanging around in all sorts of places for quite some time, and he knew Yun Shu was not someone to be trifled with just by looking at her appearance.

"Oh my god, is it a human? Ah, I was so scared."

When he got closer and found that Lin Luo had a shadow, the younger brother breathed a sigh of relief, but he probably forgot that the presence or absence of a shadow is the way to determine whether it is a ghost, not a goblin.

But don't worry about such details now.

The younger brother spoke up on Hong Hu's behalf: "No, if you don't know what's best for you, I'll beat you all up! You don't want to ruin such a pretty face, do you?!"

Lin Luoqi had heard Xiaoyue's cry a long time ago, and also used his mental power to preliminarily judge the approximate strength of the person who came.

——Just twenty people.

She slowly put on her clothes and watched with Yunshu for a while before reappearing.

If he couldn't hold on for such a short time, Lin Luo would doubt Zhou Guangzong's ability.

"Yeah?"

The tone was still calm, and the leading Hong Hu even felt that the woman looked at him as if she was looking at a dead object.

I originally thought that the newly appeared man was the troublesome one, but now I see that the man is half a step behind and in a guarding state, and the other people in Zhoujiawu have obviously relaxed expressions.

I didn’t expect that this beautiful woman is the most difficult one!

Does the old saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous she is really true?

But he couldn't let Hong Hu just leave without doing anything. Wait, how about using his earth-based abilities to test it out first? If...

But before Hong Hu could say anything, a dull thud suddenly came from the side, followed by a scream.

The little brother who had just threatened Lin Luo seemed to have been punched on the right cheek, and fell to the side. One could vaguely see a tooth flying out, and half of his face swelled up instantly, which showed how powerful this "invisible" punch was.

"If a beautiful face cannot be ruined, then an ugly one should be okay, right?" Lin Luo smiled, still as beautiful as ever, but the people opposite her were collectively startled.

——What kind of supernatural power is this?

——There is no way to prevent it at all. What if? What if it’s your turn in a second?

Many people couldn't help but start to show the desire to run away. This group of people had only been together for a short time. It would be a joke to ask them to have any brotherhood.

"Miss, we all have to make a living, we..." Hong Hu made a prompt decision and wanted to run away. He was not as determined as Zhao Tao said, and he knew the situation very well.

Lin Luo interrupted Hong Hu, "But if you keep me awake in the middle of the night, there must be a price to pay!"

She was too lazy to talk nonsense with this group of people, so she turned to look at Zhou Guangzong and said, "Thank you for your hard work in demolishing the houses these days. Let them build the wall next." After saying that, she looked at Hong Hu and the others.

"Since you don't like sleeping at night, that's easy to solve." Lin Luo raised a "devil smile".

“We come here every night at eight to build the wall and finish at three until it’s finished.”

Lin Luo used all his mental strength to say the last sentence, "Don't play tricks, haha."

She also didn't want to waste food to feed these people. She told them to take care of their own food and drink. If the wall was well built, she could spare their lives.

"Now, get out of here!"

As soon as the last word "?" was uttered, twenty big men turned around at the same time and started jogging out of Zhoujiawu. The scene looked quite funny.

The crisis was resolved, and Zhou Guangzong should have relaxed, but he was thinking too much, "Girl Luo...will this..."

Will they tell others about the situation in Zhoujiawu? What if more people come to besiege Zhoujiawu?

Will they obey? What if they take the opportunity to cause trouble?

Many worries lingered in the mind of the new village chief, and he was really worried like an "old father".

Lin Luo yawned softly, "Don't worry, they will be more obedient and capable than robots."

Lin Luo's mental power had long been able to be controlled without the aid of language. She seemed to have only said a few words, but she had taken into account all of Zhou Guangzong's worries.

But it’s a bit difficult to explain. Let them “experience” it themselves tomorrow night and then they’ll know.

Now, it’s more important to go back to sleep first.

The next day, Zhou Guangzong and his friends had planned to take a day off, but seeing that Lin Luo didn't want to say more, they forced themselves to endure it even though they were very curious. Of course, they still prepared some "little tricks" in secret.

If those people "don't listen", they will be in trouble!

Soon it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Those people? They all showed up at the entrance of Zhoujiawu Village right on time. It would have been better if the expressions on their faces weren't so ugly.

This day was truly haunted for Hong Hu and the others. They were already terrified by how "well-behaved" he was yesterday, but when they were discussing what to do next during the day and whether to go at night...

Twenty big men kept moaning for a long time but couldn't utter a single word. It was just like they were performing a pantomime. If other people saw such a scene, they might think they were crazy.

What else can I do? Come on!

When Zhou Guangzong saw the people coming, he frowned and told them the requirements of the wall according to the original plan, with his hands behind his back, looking like a contractor.

Hong Hu felt aggrieved and didn't want to do anything.

But my body seemed to betray me and just went ahead and did it?!

The same was true for the other brothers. Each of them had a distorted expression but their bodies were working diligently to move bricks and build the wall.

Hong Hu: "..." I'm tired. Let's destroy this cruel world.

Zhou Guangzong didn't expect these people to be as obedient as Lin Luo said. He kept guarding until three in the morning, feeling uneasy. When he saw the wall showing some improvement, he immediately woke up from his sleepiness.

You don't have to provide your own labor and food, and twenty strong men will work for you without cutting corners. What a dream come true!

Zhou Xiang, who was also supervising the work nearby, was happily praying for more free labor like this. The demolition work two days ago really exhausted him.

Xiaoyue, on the other hand, was very worried about these people. She followed them closely the whole time and seemed to be ready to pick up a loud speaker and call for help if there was any unusual movement.

Hong Hu, who was being watched the most closely, couldn't help but curse in his mind, "Is this not a human being? Get something done!"

In such a "happy" day, September soon arrived, and the first batch of quick-maturing vegetables planted by Zhou Guangzong and his team - Chinese cabbage, was ready to be harvested!

Unlike Chinese cabbage, the advantage of Chinese cabbage is that it has a short maturity period. It can be harvested in less than a month.

In the end times, fresh vegetables are much more precious than meat!

And because the two wood-type mutants use their "superpowers to moisturize" them from time to time, the taste and growth of these cabbages are better than ordinary cabbages.

Looking at these fresh and green cabbages, Zhou Xiang, who used to be very picky about food and only ate meat, almost drooled without caring about his image.

"Make way, make way, first wave, I'll pull out first."

At this time, Zhou Guangzong was very willing to show off his status as the village chief. He walked to the best-looking cabbage with a smile, and gently pulled it out. The small cabbage, still covered with soil, fell into his hands.

It was clearly just a small cabbage, but he acted as if it had won some international award.

"You can't pull more than that. Each person is limited to two plants."

After he finished plucking the seeds, he reminded me, "This is a good thing? Of course you can't plucking it all at once. You have to do it in batches, little by little, and savor it slowly!"

The others looked at Zhou Guangzong's rare "mischief" with amusement. One of them was really obedient and pulled out two plants, then put them all in a basket on the side.

It was agreed before that one-third of the produce from this land would be given to Lin Luo. Of course, no one would forget it, and everyone gave it quite willingly!

So, Lin Luo received fourteen freshly unearthed cabbages.

Zhou Guangzong said generously, "I'll round it up to fourteen. I can't let you suffer any loss."

Lin Luo: “…”

She did not refuse the fruits of this first harvest, and even fried a plate of stir-fried bok choy at noon. The taste was indeed very fresh and sweet, and more delicious than ordinary vegetables.

However, this kind of bok choy will not last long. After one night, it will not be as fresh and delicious as when it was just unearthed.

Yun Shu thought about it and simply blanched the remaining cabbage, chopped it into pieces, mixed it with flour and eggs, and flattened it to make vegetable cakes.

I have to say, the taste is really good. The crust is crispy and the vegetables are refreshing. Even though it is fried, it doesn’t feel greasy.

Lin Luo took down two of them by himself!

The work of building the wall happened to be on the last day. At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Guangzong looked at the four-meter-high wall with only the last bit left, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The wall was not built according to the original size of Zhoujiawu, but was at least reduced by half. This naturally left a lot of construction waste, which was also recycled and piled up on both sides of the only entrance and exit road.

The road, which was originally quite spacious, now only has space slightly wider than Lin Luo's vehicle, which is also the first line of defense for entering Zhoujiawu.

In addition to the wall, Zhou Guangzong asked these people to "help" fill in the holes that were exposed by the demolition of the house and repave them with cement. After a few days of high-temperature drying, there is now a large open space.

In the future, any training can be carried out on this open space, which is very convenient.

"Good job, young man."

Hearing Zhou Guangzong's praise, Hong Hu gave a slightly frightened smile, with an inexplicable sense of resignation.

What can they do? They can't resist, so they can only hope that after the wall is built, the female devil will spare their lives because of their good behavior.

During this period, they had a reversed day and night cycle, did strenuous physical work, and ate mediocre food. They had no time to catch up on sleep during the day and went out to look for supplies. All they consumed were the previous stocks. Several strong men were unable to bear the strain.

Hong Hu, who had put on gloves skillfully and was about to start working, suddenly frowned. Zhou Guangzong did the same thing.

Someone else is coming?

But compared to the quiet sneaking in of Hong Hu and his men, this group of people made quite a noise.

There seemed to be at least thirty or forty people making a lot of noise, holding various weapons, even guns!

The leader looked to be about forty years old, thin and short, with a long scar on his face. He was not someone to be trifled with.

"It's Sun Laoer and the others." Hong Hu frowned even more tightly.

His team was already considered strong in this area, but the team that came was just one level stronger than them.

The leader, Sun Lao Er, made his fortune by lending money at high interest rates. He is considered a bully in the town. He is ruthless and even more ruthless. His subordinates are of the same character as him.

Compared to others who were forced to stay in the town because they failed to catch up with the main force, Sun Laoer stayed "voluntarily".

He was quick-witted and knew very well that once he went to the base, he would be at the bottom of the society. It would be better for him to continue to act arrogantly here.

The subsequent developments were just as Sun Laoer had expected. He quickly gathered a group of "like-minded" people, and with the help of threats and inducements, and with the addition of the few remaining subordinates, he soon surpassed other organizations.

Because they have more people than Hong Hu's side, their strength is also stronger. In the past, when the two teams met, Hong Hu's side usually gave in. This time... I don't know if that female devil can do it.

Sun Lao Er is not an easy person to talk to. If we can't win, the village will definitely not be able to save its people, let alone its food.

"Hahaha, Honghu, have you changed your career to become a cement worker?" Sun Laoer laughed at Hong Hu on the surface, but was actually secretly observing Zhou Guangzong and the entire Zhoujiawu.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy.

Sun Lao Er is suspicious and ruthless. He has always wanted to kill or absorb Hong Hu and his gang. Therefore, he usually sends people to secretly follow Hong Hu and his gang, trying to find a breakthrough point.

Until these two days, the tracker reported the strange behavior of Hong Hu and his men. They slept during the day and did not go out to look for supplies. At night, they all set off to an unknown place.

Because the area around that road was very empty and there was no place to hide, the tracker followed for several days but did not dare to move forward. In the end, he could only report to Sun Lao Er first.

He immediately decided to bring people to find out what was going on.

I didn't expect to see such a scene. Except for Hong Hu, the other people were also wearing dirty clothes. Some were holding bricks in their hands, and some were mixing cement next to them.

And the unfamiliar faces should be from Zhoujiawu?

Look, how did the old and the young get Hong Hu and the others to do such a thing?

"Why, why do I need to notify you?"

Although he is not as strong as Sun Laoer and the others, Hong Hu will not be afraid. He will fight when he needs to. At worst, he will fight or die!

Sun Lao Er chuckled, "It looks like Zhoujiawu has some good stuff, ah."

He looked around a few more times and was about to say something else.

Zhou Yaozu and others had already rushed out with weapons. Zhou Xiang saw that the situation was not right and immediately ran back to inform them. It was only a little after eight o'clock and everyone was still awake, so they arrived quickly.

Lin Luo and Yun Shu were a little slower, but still a little faster than the previous time.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at Lin Luo, who seemed to have a soft light filter among the "black people", Sun Laoer and his men's eyes widened instantly.

——When did Zhoujiawu hide such a beautiful lady with smooth hair and sleek figure? She is much prettier than the celebrities on TV.

Looking at the others more carefully, Xiaoyue and the others are in their youth. Although they are a little darker, it is still the time of their good looks.

"Love is a treasure trove of beauties." Sun Lao Er licked his dry lips. "Hong Hu, you are quite lucky."

Such a beauty, sleeping with her once in this life is worth it! He obviously thought that Hong Hu had fallen into the beauty's trap.

Hong Hu had a gloomy face, but he was assessing the situation in his mind. If he watched Sun Laoer and Zhou Guangzong fight now, no matter which side won, he would be in trouble.

But if he helped the female devil, there was still hope of finding a way out. Hong Hu quickly analyzed the situation and took a big step forward, standing in front of several girls.

Lin Luo, who was standing by, looked at him with a half-smile, thinking that he was quite smart.

"What? Are you jealous? Is your thumb still usable? Hahaha." Hong Hu laughed wildly.

Compared to him who was tall and strong, Sun Laoer really looked very short, probably less than 1.6 meters tall.

No man can stand being mocked in person like this, especially someone like Sun Laoer who has suffered a lot of ridicule and contempt because of his height.

His face darkened in an instant. Sun Lao Er laughed in anger, and his sinister eyes swept over everyone, "Okay..."

"Today I want to see if you, Hong Hu, have the courage to speak to me like this!"
