But as soon as she took out the RV, Lightning started grabbing her trouser legs frantically.
She quickly put the car away again and bent down to touch Lightning's head.
Looking around, there were no thick trees on the mountain, so she could only find a trench and dive in like lightning.
Before drilling, I didn't forget to sprinkle some medicine powder inside. It has almost become a subconscious behavior.
As soon as we lay down in the trench, a group of people came in within the perception range of 100 meters. There were about 60 of them.
He Xiaobei lay there patiently waiting for the group of people to pass by. Who knew that after waiting for a while, the group of people did not leave, but instead set up camp twenty meters away from her.
It was completely dark at this time. She held down Lightning to prevent her from moving, and then stuck her head out.
In the open space in the distance, there were about forty strong men, holding guns in their hands, directing another 20 men and women to set up tents.
He Xiaobei was shocked when he saw that these people were actually equipped with hot weapons.
After observing carefully for a while, she found that the man sitting by the fire, who was missing an ear and had a centipede tattoo on his arm, was their leader, because everyone looked at him with great respect.
The 20 people who were working were in a miserable state. They were thin and had sallow skin.
It's obvious that he has been suffering from long-term malnutrition and has been doing physical labor for a long time. He must be a captive of that group of people.
After a while, they set up the tent, and several women in tattered clothes and with pale faces started to cook.
The pot is filled with brightly colored rice, dried meat and dried vegetables.
After a while, the dried meat porridge in the pot was cooked, and a strange aroma emanated from it.
The people nearby had probably been hungry for a long time, so they kicked the women who were cooking aside.
Then she took a spoon and filled a large bowl with it, and handed it to the man sitting by the fire with a flattering look on her face.
The one-eared man took the bowl but didn't eat immediately. Instead, he stared at the shivering women on the ground for a while.
Then he turned to the man next to him and said:
"Chu Jiang, go give some porridge to those women and let them try the poison first."
After hearing this, Chu Jiang's expression froze. He nodded and took another small bowl of porridge from the pot.
He strode over to the women and held the bowl out in front of them.
The women seemed to be accustomed to this situation. They took the bowls, took a sip one by one, and then looked up at Chu Jiang.
After a while, seeing that the women were fine, Chu Jiang nodded to the one-eared man:
"Boss, it's okay."
The one-eared man called the boss then picked up the bowl and started eating.
In many people's homes, after the food is served, the person with the highest status or the oldest age in the family must start eating first before others can start eating. This is a sign of respect for them.
The same principle applies now among this group of extremely vicious people.
The captives shrank and lowered their heads to eat the dry and black bread.
They didn't even dare to look towards the fire.
He Xiaobei didn't know what it was, but from its color and appearance he knew it must not taste good.
He Xiaobei did not leave immediately. She quietly took out the rice ball and ate it because she heard something interesting.
The one-eared boss is called Lei Fan, and the forty or so people there are criminals in prison.
At the end of the world, he knocked down the prison guard, stole his gun and ran away.
They have been wandering around burning, killing and looting.
Even if those small bases also had hot weapons, most of them did not dare to confront them head-on when they saw so many people, and could only obediently give them some supplies.
They would just kill anyone who didn't take the supplies, but of course they would leave a small number of people as slaves.
They even threatened their relatives and forced some people to go out and find supplies for them.
Once the base runs out of food or most of its people die, it will lose its value.
They let the remaining slaves carry the supplies and equipment and then set off again.
The current group of slaves were captured in a base.
They were once the leaders of a private base, exploiting and plundering other survivors.
After Lei Fan and his men captured the base, they killed everyone else and only left behind the top leaders in the base, who were then abused and insulted.
Lei Fan liked to see people who were once high and mighty now kneeling before him, allowing them to insult and torture him, and then being as humble as a dog.
Controlling the life, death and living of others is addictive, so he does it every time.
This time they caught a scavenger who was searching for supplies on the road.
I learned from that person that there is an amusement park base here.
It is said that there are seven or eight hundred people living there, but there are only fifty guards.
The defending force was slightly larger than theirs, but they didn't care at all.
They have killed many more people, and in their eyes these people are just show-offs.
If they were really attacked, they would at most fight back symbolically.
As soon as they see any sign of being defeated, they will lose all their momentum.
Once they rushed in, those people would be frightened and run away. Lei Fan felt that this time would be no exception.
He Xiaobei listened with great interest to their discussion by the fire.
I feel that this group of people may not be that strong. Most of the people they met before were weak targets, which made them particularly arrogant now.
But they are right about one thing. In this era, only bullies and bastards can survive, liars and scum can also do well, and only good people have the hardest time.
The next morning, Lei Fan sent two people to investigate the amusement park base, and the others waited there.
He Xiaobei thought for a long time and finally decided to leave temporarily.
It's hard to hide in the bare mountains, so just come back at night. Besides, she can also hear the information they gather.
The two people sent out went in the morning and didn't come back until after eight o'clock in the evening.
He Xiaobei even went to the space to take a shower and had a delicious barbecue.
"Boss, the information that scavenger said is all correct. They have fenced off the entire amusement park and built a 2.5-meter-high wall inside the iron fence. But there are really not many people patrolling. They form a small team of three. The two of us are counting the time outside the wall. It takes about half an hour for someone to pass by."
Another shifty-looking man also nodded:
"Yeah, yeah, boss, there are a lot of people in there, hehe, there are also a lot of women, much better than the bunch we have now."
Lei Fan didn't rush to express his opinion after hearing this. He thought for a while before calling Chu Jiang:
"Chu Jiang, take two people with you and go directly into the base every day to investigate the specific situation. Since that scavenger said that you can enter if you hand over some supplies, then we should take out some supplies and leave them there first."
"Got it, boss."
