He Xiaobei was sitting upstairs, feeling very excited. Since no one was there to share her happiness with, she shared it with Lightning:
"Lightning, you see, this scarred guy is quite good at boosting morale."
The man with glasses watched the other side start to attack without saying anything else. Although they were few in number, they absolutely could not retreat. If they retreated, their wives and children on the mountain would be finished.
So they also raised their weapons to fight, and the two groups immediately became one.
At this point, He Xiaobei stopped eating melon seeds and excitedly picked up Lightning and stood up from his chair:
"Everyone, let me now explain the first struggle of the apocalypse. A huge disagreement has arisen between the two teams over the issue of sheep. After a heated argument, the long-standing conflict has finally erupted, and these two former neighbors are brawling in the streets. Their movements are swift and powerful, and every punch and kick is imbued with momentum. It's a fight between two weaklings, or rather... it's a relentless back-and-forth. While the attacks are chaotic, each strike seems to be aimed at the other's demise..."
He Xiaobei excitedly explained it to himself, and then took out a Polaroid camera to take a photo of himself and the chaotic scene below.
(You are really salty.)
The street fight below was incredibly fierce and gruesome. Both sides showed no signs of routine or technique; they fought with sheer brute force. Once their weapons were knocked away or sent flying, they unleashed their full might, using their limbs to launch attacks. The so-called "turtle fists" were displayed with a majestic and awe-inspiring aura! Even the seemingly gentle man with glasses, his glasses long gone, gave up his appearance. He focused solely on throwing punches.
In the chaotic battle, shouts and curses filled the air, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The dull thud of fists hitting flesh echoed one after another. Despite the chaotic situation, these people showed no intention of retreating, as if they had already put life and death aside.
Then a terrifying scream suddenly came from the crowd, and everyone immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from. After half a day of fighting, someone finally died.
The one lying on the ground was from the side of the man with glasses. He was a young man in his early twenties who was rushing in the front.
The roar paused the battle, and both groups retreated. The man with glasses squatted on the ground to examine the young man who was chopped and covered in wounds. Finally, he shook his head in pain.
"There's no way he can be saved. Although none of his injuries are life-threatening, he's suffered too many wounds and lost too much blood. We don't even have the equipment to provide a blood transfusion right now."
Then he stood up, looked fiercely at the crowd on Scar Man's side, and said angrily:
"You, how can you be so cruel? He's only twenty years old and has a mother and sister at home. You bunch of butchers, next time the troops come to deliver supplies, I will definitely report you."
The scarred man had no intention of killing anyone, but now that people were dead, he was a little scared. After all, the troops came every two weeks. However, he said he was not afraid at all:
"So what? Fights are bound to end in death. If you weren't selfish and monopolized so many sheep, we wouldn't have intervened. Ultimately, you brought this upon yourselves."
After saying that, he spat on the ground, and then said to the person behind him very reluctantly:
"MD, brothers, let's go and let them go for now."
Then he led the crowd and walked away in a swagger.
The man with glasses looked at their backs as they walked away, his face full of pain. He called a young man over and wanted to help carry the people back to the mountain.
Several people around came forward one after another:
"Doctor Liao, let's do it. You are already weak."
The man with glasses, who was called Doctor Liao, sighed:
"Hey, let's carry the person back first. It's cold outside. We can deal with the others after we get back."
The two groups dispersed. He Xiaobei upstairs was still a little reluctant to leave. She smacked her lips and thought for a while before deciding to go up the mountain to take a look.
If for no other reason than her current astonishing appetite, she had no intention of robbing. Why would she bother with the effort when she could exchange it with supplies? If she robbed it, she would have to kill the animals herself, which would be so dirty.
Thinking of this, she put the chairs and food into the space, then went downstairs. She wanted to go and investigate first to see the other party's situation. In fact, she had already thought of how to trade.
Following the group of people, it only took about twenty minutes to reach where they lived. From a distance, it was indeed a very large mountain. The entire mountain was a breeding farm. The small hill behind the breeding farm was surrounded by barbed wire. The group of people lived in several small courtyards at the foot of the mountain.
He Xiaobei observed his surroundings. This place should have been a farmhouse before the apocalypse. This type of farmhouse was very popular before the apocalypse. They would use domesticated animals to entertain customers from the city, and the owner would also say to the guests:
"They are all raised at home. We never feed them any feed. We just put them on the mountain and they grow up on their own. They are absolutely green food."
There were about forty-five people on the mountain, about thirty men and a dozen women, both young and old. It seemed that they were not kidnapped from outside, but relatives of this group of people.
After all, she had just heard the conversation below. The troops still came every half a month, but the distribution of supplies also started when the temperature dropped sharply. It was estimated that many people died in these towns during the heavy rain, otherwise there would not be so few people here now.
Behind several small courtyards is a livestock house. It has been reinforced and no longer looks like what it used to be. Most of the trees on the mountain have been cut down by this group of people.
After looking through the telescope for a long time without seeing any sheep, she used her special ability to check. What she saw really shocked her. There were about eighty sheep of all sizes in the box. It seemed that they were willing to trade sheep with her.
So she staggered down the mountain, then took out the F450 and drove back up the mountain along the main road.
Before her car got close, she saw from afar thirty or forty men and women standing at the door of the farmhouse, all holding weapons.
He Xiaobei thought to herself that everyone was out because they heard the sound of her car, probably thinking that the group of people from the daytime had come to steal sheep again.
The car stopped ten meters away from the crowd. She didn't get out of the car, but rolled down the window. Regardless of the expressions of the group, she directly said to the doctor Liao she had seen during the day:
"Don't be nervous. I'm here to negotiate a deal. I know you still have about eighty sheep. I have pistols, medicine, food, and seeds. I'd like to exchange them for your sheep. As for how much I can exchange, it's up to you. I'll be waiting here for you to discuss. If you don't want to trade or what you want to trade, just let me know. I'll bring the supplies up the mountain tomorrow."
