Chapter 113 Encountered a gangster
"Shengsheng, I heard you offended Captain Xiao. Is that true?" Yuan Xuyang suddenly said, "If you are kicked out, our family will go with you."
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge, he glanced at Yuan Xuyang and said, "No need."
"oops……"
A sharp female voice suddenly rang out. Liang Yingsheng looked up and saw Sun Hanxue repeatedly bowing and apologizing to Xiao Yan.
There was a bowl lying at their feet, with rice bran porridge spilled everywhere.
Sun Hanxue looked frightened. "I'm sorry, Captain Xiao. I, I didn't mean to do that. I'm really sorry."
Xiao Yan had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. Seeing the water stain on his clothes, Sun Hanxue exclaimed and reached out to wipe it. "Oh, your clothes are dirty. Captain Xiao, why don't you give this clothes to me and I will wash it for you and send it over."
As he spoke, he thought of something and said, "No, it's too cold outside. Otherwise, you can change your clothes and let your subordinates give them to me. I can wait here."
Seeing that Sun Hanxue's hand was about to touch Xiao Yan's clothes, Xiao Yan took a step back and glanced at Sun Hanxue lightly, "No need."
"Captain Xiao..."
Perhaps worried that his girlfriend might offend Xiao Yan, Chen Qingke put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked over, and took Sun Hanxue's hand to bow and apologize. "It must be too cold, Xiaoxue's hands were frozen and she couldn't hold the bowl steady. Captain Xiao, I'm really sorry."
Sun Hanxue pulled her hand back without leaving a trace, but did not forget to distance herself from Chen Qingke.
"Qing Ke, you don't have to do this."
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? You're so cold all of a sudden, you..."
Xiao Yan didn't stay long and walked away.
Du Lingfeng had already prepared his meal, which was the same as what everyone else was eating, vegetable and rice bran porridge.
"Tsk tsk, this Sun Hanxue is so shameless. She must be disgusted by Chen Qingke's plan to seduce Captain Xiao."
He casually said while shaking his head, "Don't you even look at your face covered in hyaluronic acid? He's a dignified military leader, but he doesn't even look down on my Shengsheng. How could he be interested in Sun Hanxue?"
“…”
After taking a casual glance, Liang Yingsheng decisively kicked her.
Some things need not be said.
Sun Hanxue's first attempt to hook up with Xiao Yan ended in failure.
On the third day of the extreme cold, the temperature had dropped to minus fifty degrees Celsius. Except for fetching water and going to the cafeteria to eat, there was almost no one in the entire Jiangnan Middle School.
He took out a mobile power bank and an electric heater, and prepared a large pot of hot water on the table. Liang Yingsheng put on a hat and gloves and went to meet at the gate.
"When Zhimo comes back, let him drink a bowl of ginger soup first. Other people in the shelter can see a doctor, but if someone comes to Zhimo for help with a minor illness, please help him refuse."
"Okay, be careful too!"
Early in the morning, Liang Zhimo was called by the survivors in the teaching building to see a doctor. The other party brought a bag of instant noodles and said that his son had a high fever that wouldn't go away.
We had been planning to go to the mountains to chop firewood together, but now we've been delayed.
When they arrived at the guard post, Yuan Xuyang and the group of students were already waiting there. The person in charge of the team today was Cao Lei who was stationed at Jiangnan Middle School.
There were two cars in total, a van and a pickup truck.
"I just used a drone to scout a bit. Perhaps because the cold-weather zombies are moving slower, their numbers are also smaller."
Jiangcheng is in the south, and even though it is facing extreme cold now, the temperature is still much higher than in the north.
Logically, the zombies should have migrated south, so why are their numbers decreasing?
However, Liang Yingsheng didn't want to care about so many things. It would be a good idea to stock up on more supplies at this time.
As soon as we got in the car, Cao Lei began to introduce, "Nanlin Mountain is a nature reserve. A forest park has been built on the front mountain, and the back mountain has been preserved in its original state. Let's go directly to the back mountain."
There were still a few cars parked at the foot of the mountain, and there were obvious footprints on the snow on the ground.
"It seems that there are still many survivors around Jiangcheng."
Cao Lei observed the footprints and said, "They haven't been around long. We might meet other survivors."
"They might not be survivors," Liang Yingsheng said, glancing around. There were traces of blood on the snow in several places. "They could also be zombies. In short, everyone should be careful."
Not all survivors choose to go to a shelter.
Survivors who have sufficient supplies are worried about being missed if they go to shelters, so they will choose a safe place on their own.
The trees near the foot of the mountain have been almost all cut down, and occasionally one can see a few zombie corpses covered in snow, frozen stiff.
Cao Lei walked at the front of the team with a pistol in his hand, Liang Yingsheng and Liang Zhimo followed Yi in the middle, and Yuan Xuyang and the college students were at the rear.
It was freezing cold, and no one had dealt with the snow on the ground after the apocalypse. In just a few days, the snow was enough to cover people's calves, making it extremely difficult to walk on it.
Xue Kai took a shovel and walked to the front of the team, shoveling snow as he walked.
"These woods are soaked in snow. We can't light them if we take them back. We need to let them air out first."
Liang Zhimo picked up a branch, the surface of which was covered with a thin layer of ice.
"Let's pick it up first. Let's see if we can catch some wild animals."
Liang Yingsheng wasn't interested in collecting firewood. Her main goal this time was hunting. "Just go down the mountain and chop some trees and drag them back."
The deeper you go into the mountains, the thicker the snow becomes. What meets the eye is a vast expanse of white, and the lush branches are covered in silver.
The sky was gray, the wind was cold, and broken ice fell from the branches from time to time.
"We've been walking for half an hour and haven't seen any animals. Sister Sheng, why don't we go to the river and chop the ice. What if we can catch some fish?"
There are fish in the pond of Jiangnan Middle School, but Xue Kai’s suggestion is indeed good.
Just as he was about to discuss with everyone about splitting up the troops into two groups, he casually pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Look, there's smoke over there, there must be survivors!"
The smoke was very thick, only a few meters away from them.
Cao Lei gestured, "I'll go take a look, you guys wait here."
Now that evil forces are rampant, many survivors form gangs to rob other survivors. Living in the city is dangerous, so they choose to live in seclusion in the mountains.
The supplies in the forest are endless. In order to survive, some people will choose to take risks and go into the deep forest to find supplies. These people become the targets of robbery by the gangs.
Taking advantage of this break, everyone rested and replenished their energy.
"Although it's deep in the mountains, isn't the number of zombies in this area too small?"
Yuan Xuyang looked around. Jiangcheng was a big city, and this mountain was not particularly big. It was surrounded by cities, so there was no reason why there would be no zombies.
Liang Yingsheng unscrewed the thermos to drink water. Upon hearing this, he calmly replied, "It must have been cleaned up."
The corpses we found when we first went up the mountain were good proof of this.
"Those guys are indeed criminals!"
Cao Lei hurried back, his face full of anger. "There's a cave across the ravine. I saw a group of people killing animals outside, and there was a person tied to a tree."
He took a breath and continued, "He was an old man, probably in his forties or fifties. He was covered in blood. He must be in a very bad state."
