Chapter 100 Shameless
A few people came out of the community and shivered as they were blown in the face by the wind and snow.
"It's forty degrees below zero, and it's dropped another ten degrees in half a day!" Qian Wenbin stomped his feet, trying to warm himself up.
Guo Jianhua said dejectedly, "The temperature won't keep dropping, will it? If that's the case, should we continue to struggle?"
"Okay, let's live one day at a time." Fang Tiexiong roared, "Are you going to look for firewood? If you don't go, I will. The elderly and children at home are counting on me."
Having said that, he set off forward, swaying from side to side.
Xu Sichen smiled and followed.
She had experienced the horror and cruelty of the end of the world, and she had enough food and supplies to last her several lifetimes.
She even thought that if everyone in the world was swallowed up by the apocalypse, and she was the only one left in this world, it didn't seem unacceptable.
After all, in her previous life, she was alone until her death.
In order to stay alive, you try every possible means to hide from the people around you, because you don't know whether he is a human or a ghost.
But now, she suddenly felt that it was quite interesting to have someone around.
Of course, if it's a ghost, just kill it.
Seeing this, the people behind also followed.
The few of them walked and stopped, from minus 40 degrees Celsius to minus 45 degrees Celsius, and just when they were about to give up.
Finally, I saw the large treetops exposed on the ice.
Below the treetops, everything is naturally frozen in ice.
Seeing this, several people became happy and took out various tools from their backpacks, including axes, saws, and kitchen knives that were modified by tying them to sticks.
They were all put together at the last minute, and compared to the engineer shovel in Xu Sichen's hand, their felling speed was much slower.
What surprised everyone was the saw in the hands of Qian Wenbin and others.
The two of them worked together and their cutting speed was actually a few points faster than Xu Sichen's.
After half an hour, there was a clear gap in the gains of the several people.
Qian Wenbin and his three companions had the most, and most of them were fire-resistant branches.
Xu Sichen was next, and there were also a lot of tree trunks and branches piled around him.
But Qian Wenbin and the other three were together after all, so on average, they didn't have as much as Xu Sichen.
The least are Guo Wenbin and his group, but even combined they still don’t have as many as Xu Sichen.
The main reason is that their tools are too simple.
In the time it took them to cut down one tree trunk, Xu Sichen had already cut down three.
Guo Jianhua didn't feel anything, he just held the axe and kept clanging, clang, clang, without stopping for a moment.
The people around him felt uncomfortable when they saw the differences between them.
A slightly plump middle-aged man looked at the chipped kitchen knife in his hand and couldn't help but say, "Brother Qian, your saw is quite useful. I haven't seen it on the market before. Where did you find it?"
Several people present were slightly stunned when they heard this.
When Guo Jianhua saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly wanted to say something to interrupt the man's thoughts.
After all, he was the one who brought this person here. If someone gets killed, he will also be implicated.
He was very optimistic about Qian Wenbin's abilities and wanted to follow them to collect supplies later.
It would be bad if things got out of hand.
But before he could open his mouth, Fang Tiexiong had already spoken heartlessly.
"You mean this? We figured it out ourselves. You know, we're all engineers, so we like to tinker with things when we have nothing else to do. We didn't have any good tools at home, so we came up with this. It's not as good as a chainsaw, but it saves some effort."
Guo Jianhua spoke before the middle-aged man, "You guys are really good. When you get back, teach me. If I can find some materials, I can make one myself."
"Okay, no problem!" Fang Tiexiong said readily.
They thought the topic was over, but the man was still not giving up. "Brother Fang, look, you guys have already cut so much. Can you lend us one for a while? Look at this kitchen knife in my hand. It's been chipped after half an hour, and I can't cut many branches. This little bit is not even enough to boil a pot of water when I get home."
"Okay!" Qian Wenbin agreed directly.
"Hahaha, Brother Qian is still straightforward!" As he said that, the man went forward to take it.
Qian Wenbin: "But we have to wait until we have chopped enough before we can lend it to you. This firewood may seem like a lot, but it's shared by the four of us. If each of us takes a little, there won't be much left. And although this saw may seem labor-saving, it's not durable. If it breaks down, don't mind it."
The man withdrew his hand awkwardly, his face darkening a little, and withdrew his hand with a forced smile.
But he didn't give up. He turned around and set his sights on Xu Sichen, a tree not far away. A few shovel strokes would knock it down.
"Xiao Xu, you've run out of that engineer shovel. Can you lend it to me..." A middle-aged man with Guo Jianhua said enviously.
But before he could finish, Fang Tiexiong interrupted him: "Tian Huaiyuan, what are you talking about? These days, it's hard to find an engineer shovel. If you break it, how are you going to compensate little Xu?"
When someone was targeting him, Fang Tiexiong was not angry, but when he saw Tian Huaiyuan shamelessly targeting the girl, he could not help it and spoke in an angry tone.
Guo Jianhua's face darkened, and he immediately decided not to bring him along next time. "Old Tian, if your kitchen knife isn't handy, I'll trade it with your axe. Xiao Xu is a little girl, and she needs a handy tool more than you do."
"Xiao Xu, your Uncle Tian was just joking with you. Keep this engineer shovel for yourself. It can be used to cut trees and protect yourself. It's just right for a little girl like you. Don't lend it to others casually." Although Qian Wenbin said this to Xu Sichen, he was also warning the people around him not to take advantage of others.
Tian Huaiyuan said discontentedly, "Aren't we all in this together? Why are you still fussing about it? Is that interesting?"
Hearing this, several people immediately frowned in displeasure. Just as they were about to say something, Xu Sichen smiled and said to Tian Huaiyuan, "Well, Uncle Tian, it's not impossible for you to borrow it. Give me five kilograms of food, and I'll lend it to you for an hour, how about that?"
The smile on Tian Huaiyuan's face froze immediately. "Just to borrow a shovel, and you asked me for five kilograms of grain. This little girl is too mean."
Xu Sichen retorted without giving any face: "If you don't play dirty, how can you stand up to other people's shamelessness?"
"Little girl, what are you talking about? If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Why are you scolding me? You have no manners at all. No wonder people in the community don't think highly of you!" Tian Huaiyuan scolded angrily with a dark face.
Xu Sichen sneered, "Haha, you have good upbringing! Your upbringing is shameless, you can't do human things, and you don't understand human language. I guess you must have sucked a lot of other people's blood in your life."
Tian Huaiyuan is in the real estate business. Hasn't he been getting to where he is today by sucking the blood of others?
These words seemed to have hit him in the lungs. He suddenly jumped up and was about to attack Xu Sichen.
