Chapter 12: Danger Approaches



"Do any of you need bandaging?"

"If you are injured, please tell me!"

"Your leg is broken and you can't move for the next two days. You can ask someone to take care of you for two days. Some people in the territory can't go out for some reason. I can ask someone to take care of you."

"Your injury is nothing serious, just be careful."

"Your injuries are quite serious, but there is basically no medicine dropped outside, so you can only rely on self-recovery."

“…”

After eating something, the new survivors recovered a little bit. Many of them were receiving treatment. Looking at the group of people who had been helping them, they couldn't help but start to express their gratitude. This was nothing before the doomsday, but at the doomsday, it was rare and precious.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter, that's all we can do to help."

"It's all because of this damn doomsday game."

"What kind of monster did you encounter? Many of the wounds are so deep that the bones are exposed."

...

...

"There are a bunch of Shadow Hounds surrounding us. Most of them are higher level than us. If we hadn't encountered the people from your territory, we would have been wiped out."

"Yesterday was fine. Although we encountered monsters, we were able to deal with them. But today and tomorrow there are more monsters, and their levels seem to be much higher."

Talking about the situation at that time, many people had sad faces. After the doomsday game incident, they were constantly hovering between life and death. They had already prepared for death, but what they had just experienced still made them feel frightened. They were bitten to death and eaten.

"You are lucky. They are guards selected by the territory. Their ranks are relatively high."

"How does a territory select guards? Is it controlled by someone? Who is it? It's really amazing to be able to build such a territory."

"They just posted a recruitment notice, and we signed up on the control panel, and then the territory sent us a notification. As for the territory, many people speculated that it was built into the Doomsday Game, and it was used for us to rest temporarily. In any case, with such a territory, we do have more capital to survive. It was also because of the establishment of the guard team that we knew that the monsters outside had become stronger, so we brought more people with us when we went out, so even if some people were injured, no one died."

"Hearing your experiences, it's no wonder that there were so many survivors yesterday. Today, it feels like there are so few all of a sudden. I don't know if there's no chance of making it."

"We have been wandering for a day and haven't seen any territory nearby. We are basically just wandering around randomly. If we could reach the territory earlier like you guys, then my father wouldn't have died protecting me."

As he spoke, the man couldn't help crying.

The people who were listening also felt a little uncomfortable, and they also thought of themselves.

“We don’t know where our families are.”

"Yeah! I'm so worried about my parents and sister. I don't know how they are doing now."

"All we can do is live well, maybe we'll have the chance to meet him someday!"

"I still have to work hard to upgrade. When I have the ability to walk outside, I can find people!"

"Live well and don't let your father down."

"You should all take good care of your injuries. Although these injuries are not easy to heal before the end of the world, they can be recovered over time during the end of the world. The higher the level, the faster the recovery."

Everyone was talking one after another without stopping what they were doing.

There were too many injured people and they were overwhelmed.

Just then, Li Xingteng came over with his guard team.

Seeing that Zhou Zhengping's family of three were also helping on the scene, he explained, "I saw that there were not enough people, so I transferred someone to teach them. They just learned basic treatment and should be able to help."

Zhou Zhengping looked at Li Xingteng who had considered everything, smiled and said, "It's just right. We are a little too late to bandage here. I will temporarily hand over my people to you and cooperate with your people in the operation."

This guy is really capable!

Zhou Zhengping watched with appreciation. After all, the more tools like this there were, the more it would help her daughter’s territory grow bigger and stronger!

Li Xingteng looked at the admiration in Zhou Zhengping's eyes, his expression a little subtle.

He just wanted to show off his thoughtfulness and demonstrate his abilities in front of Zhou Zhengping.

But Zhou Zhengping’s reaction... isn’t right!

And he gave his own people to him! How strange!

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" After Zhou Zhengping came to his senses, he noticed Li Xingteng's eyes and asked back.

"It's okay." Li Xingteng responded dryly, and then started to arrange people directly. At the same time, he worked hard at the scene, obviously trying to win people's hearts.

When someone was doing something, Zhou Zhengping handed the main field to Li Xingteng, and went directly to Zhou Bai and her daughter and said, "It feels good to have someone to help you do something."

"You admire him?" Ding Qiurou knew Zhou Zhengping very well. As soon as he spoke, she immediately understood what he meant. "Yesterday you said he was scheming and deliberately testing us. Have you changed your mind today?"

"He does have ulterior motives, but as long as he walks the right path, I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Zhou Zhengping chuckled, "It would be better for the territory if there were more people like him."

Zhou Bai listened to Zhou Zhengping's words and immediately understood what he meant. She also felt that it would be better to have more people like him. With someone to help with work, it would be much easier for her as a lord.

Who doesn't love a tool?

"That's true, but there aren't many people like him. Most of the others just want to survive." Ding Qiurou said, "Although there are many people in the territory who are willing to leave, there are also some who have money and don't want to leave. They stay in the territory. No one can force them, and everyone has their own way of living."

Thinking about it, he added, "If you want people to do something, you have to give them some benefits, just like when you purchase materials, if you give a higher purchase price, they will be willing to give you their idle materials. If you really want someone to be like Li Xingteng, you have to think of something to mobilize their enthusiasm, see what they need, and give them what they need."

Zhou Zhengping listened and praised: "My wife is right!"

Then he looked at Zhou Bai, "What about you? What do you think after hearing what your mother said?"

"Well, I have some ideas. What my mother said can actually be solved by building a good territory. If the territory has better weapons and equipment, many people who want to become stronger will think about buying them. I can even set requirements so that people who have contributed to the territory can buy and sell them. They will definitely work hard to complete the territory's tasks. If the territory has enough types of goods, those rich people will not be able to resist spending money. If they have enough money, their money can be regarded as a contribution to the territory. If not, they will also find ways to make money... So the core is to build a good territory. When the territory is strong, they will have a stronger sense of belonging to the territory." Zhou Bai said helplessly, "But let's take it step by step! For the time being, everything in the territory is not something I can do as I want."

Zhou Zhengping listened and nodded, "Yes, that's right. We should take it step by step. The foundation of the territory is the basis. If the territory is good, others will want to stay. As long as people are here, why worry that they won't do anything?"

Ding Qiurou looked at the father and daughter who were singing the same tune and smiled, "Since we have to take it slowly, don't think too much. I just got a lot of good things. Can I make something delicious for you?"

Her biggest wish is to take good care of her husband and daughter. As long as they are well, she will be happy.

"Then you go back first, we'll stay here and see." Zhou Zhengping said hurriedly.

After all, there are so many new people, and most of them are injured, so it would be better to pay more attention to them.

"Yeah." Ding Qiurou nodded and went towards home.

At the scene, after everyone's efforts, all the injured had received preliminary treatment after a while.

Except for some who really could not move, the rest began to go to the lord's mansion to receive identity tokens. After receiving them, they directly bought or rented houses and prepared to rest.

As for those who couldn't move, I paid some money to hire someone for help.

They haven't had a good rest since yesterday, and they can finally rest a little more at ease tonight!

Zhou Bai's newly built residential building was quickly occupied! Many other commodities were also sold.

This allowed Zhou Bai, who had been making money during this period, to make a good return on her investment. From now on, every time a new group of people came, she would be able to "get rich" once.

After taking a look at the account, Zhou Bai's mouth curled up slightly. It really feels good to receive money!

Zhou Zhengping couldn't bear to watch his daughter's silly smile.

Zhou Bai noticed Zhou Zhengping's helpless look, restrained her expression, and quickly changed the subject, asking Zhou Zhengping about the rescue process today. She felt that it was not simple when she saw the miserable conditions of those people. Just now, for fear of poking the wounds, no one dared to ask for details, so she could only know from her father.

Zhou Zhengping told them what he had encountered, especially the fact that the monsters could level up after eating humans.

After listening, Zhou Bai frowned, "After you left, I have been paying attention to the map. There is no such group of monsters on it. They followed this group of people. Since they will hunt a group of people, our territory is here, the monsters will probably come here too. Maybe the increase of monsters in the territory today is also partly due to this."

When Zhou Zhengping heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this time, Li Xingteng, who had dealt with all the matters, came to find Zhou Zhengping with his men.

"The personnel have been arranged!" As he said this, there was a hint of joy on Li Xingteng's face. It felt really good to command people to do things and get gratitude from others.

"You are very capable and you do things very clearly." Knowing Li Xingteng's character, Zhou Zhengping praised him sincerely. Everything has been taken into consideration. It has to be said that he is very capable. He is definitely not as good as Li Xingteng in this regard.

"No, no, it's all thanks to everyone's help, and we are the territory's guard team! There's nothing wrong in doing more to help the territory." Li Xingteng responded with a smile. He also had some good feelings towards Zhou Zhengping. This teammate seemed to be a good one.

"Working with someone like you will make it easier for me in the future."

"I also think I will be relaxed. Anyway, we can discuss matters concerning the territory together. We all hope that the territory will get better and better!" Li Xingteng continued.

Zhou Zhengping nodded, then took a look at the dark night outside and said directly: "Then our two teams will take turns to guard the night tonight. There is something wrong with the group of monsters we encountered today."

"Okay." Li Xingteng thought of the scene at that time and nodded unconsciously.

The scene he saw today was so tragic that he was deeply impressed.

Moreover, the territory must have anticipated something when recruiting them as a guard, so it’s better to be careful!

Zhou Bai, who was standing aside, watched Zhou Zhengping decide on the night watch in a few seconds, and understood what he meant. When not knowing what would happen, guarding the territory was the most important thing.

But for some reason, Zhou Bai had a bad feeling in his heart.

**

At night, the guards began to take turns guarding the gate of the territory.

And where they couldn't see, dark shadows gathered and slowly approached the territory.
