Chapter 124: The dead of night, a perfect time for a sneak attack
"It's a nice day today."
Qiao Lan stretched out his body and stretched his muscles.
The first rays of morning light in the eastern sky were a beautiful golden color. The nearby ruins and the distant wasteland and mountains actually looked quite beautiful in the golden halo.
"Get up, get up, get up! Exercise, eat, and get going!"
The cooking spoon hits the bottom of the basin, and Chef Geng Duofu also serves as an alarm clock.
The camp quickly became lively.
Everyone quickly climbed out of the tent, dismantled the tent, packed their bags, and after a simple morning exercise, more than 30 people lined up to wash their hands with half a basin of water, and then lined up to get breakfast.
Each person had half a small bowl of hot rice soup, one-fifth of a steamed bun, and the leftover meat bones and skin from last night were boiled into jelly. Everyone was given a small piece, and everyone ate happily and lively.
Such a simple breakfast, in the apocalypse, was a rare delicacy, not something everyone could enjoy. Under Qiao Wen's leadership, the team was highly efficient in defending against enemies and searching for supplies, which gradually improved their lives.
"The air here is just great. There are fewer people and fewer bodies, and the stench is much less than in the city."
"The base we're going to is cleaner."
"Let's hurry up and get over there to clean up the house as soon as possible, so we don't have to sleep in a tent tonight!"
Everyone was full of anticipation for their new residence, and they set off soon after dinner.
The Qiao and Wen teams were going to different places, but they still had a long way to go together. The two teams had become familiar with each other over the past few days, and they said goodbye to each other as they walked, agreeing to visit each other often in the future.
Qiao Lan, still unafraid, asked Wen Jiaojiao again, "How many days will Big Boss Sister stay at my place?"
"No, but you said you would give me the pleasure of the jacuzzi. When you are done, ask me to come over and take a bath."
"Hey! That will surely be cleaned up quickly!"
Qiao Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled.
When they reached the fork in the road where they were about to part, Qiao Lan hugged Wen Jiaojiao tightly, rubbing his head against her shoulder, reluctant to leave.
Wen Jiaojiao reached out and touched Qiao Lan's short hair, which had been shaved the day before. The furry and prickly hair felt very good.
"How about you stay in my cave for a few days, little sister? There's a kang there. It's warm when you heat it up. It's winter now, and it's getting colder day by day. A kang is more comfortable than a bed... Oh? Who's that? Yingzi, go over and take a look."
Wen Jiaojiao saw two people stumbling towards her in the distance on the crooked road, so she sent a smart girl in the team to investigate.
Soon, Sakurako came back with the two women.
“Help…Help…”
When they were almost there, the two men were so excited that they fell several times. They staggered to the front of the crowd, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Please take us in. We can do any work. We don't need food, we can find it ourselves. Just leave us here. Someone wants to kill us..."
Meow……
At Qiao Lan's feet, Da Zhuang, with a coat of black hair, glared at the two men angrily.
Xiao Li quietly told Qiao Lan: "These two are part of that group."
Dazhuang meowed again, angry. It was because of tracking down that snake-like guy last night that it was dyed black!
And these two women, it recognized, were two of the group it had tracked down by following the scent of the snake-like man. So it got angry when it saw them!
"Good guy or bad guy?" Qiao Lan asked.
Xiao Li and Da Zhuang looked at each other for a moment. "Uh... it said that when it saw them yesterday, they were being held by male humans... uh... as for whether they were good or bad, it doesn't know."
oh.
Just at this moment, the two women knelt on the ground, crying and speaking, and had already expressed the suffering they had endured.
They were imprisoned, exploited, beaten, scolded, and even violated by the strong, and were almost killed and eaten.
"Please take us in, take us away, okay? Otherwise, if those people catch up with us, we will definitely die..."
The two women cried and begged, their skin exposed outside their torn clothes was covered with purple bruises and bleeding wounds, looking extremely miserable.
Many people in the team were moved.
The old chef shouted, "How despicable! How could such beasts exist! You two, tell me where these beasts are right now, and I will tear them into pieces and enforce justice on their behalf!"
Geng Duofu quickly pulled his father, "Please calm down, Ms. Qiao from our team has the final say."
"My son is sensible." The old chef then clasped his fists towards Qiao Lan and said, "My lord, I will fight you!"
"Uncle, take a rest. I hate people who bully women. Leave it to me."
Wen Jiaojiao asked the team members to help the two women up and stay.
"Where are those people?"
The two women replied tremblingly, "Just a few kilometers up this road, there's the ruins of a small market. They've recently settled there... But no, don't bother them. They're very powerful, and several of them are mutants. Please take us away quickly, the farther the better. They killed several people last night!"
Wen Jiaojiao looked at the two of them quietly.
After a moment, he looked at Qiao Lan.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and both of them curled their lips slightly.
…
The night is dark.
The day passed quickly.
After the tiring journey and cleaning the house, people gathered on the heated kang, covered themselves with quilts to warm themselves, and chatted.
A few potatoes were buried in the underground charcoal brazier, and the warm, dry aroma filled the entire house.
Wen Jiaojiao took the fire chopsticks, picked up a potato from the charcoal ash, wrapped it in thick paper to keep it warm, and put it in her arms.
"We'll eat on the way. You guys go to sleep first. I'll probably be back later in the night."
"Sister Wen, be careful!"
"Sister Wen is so powerful, there will definitely be no problem! Sister Wen, remember to bring us the spoils!"
"Don't worry, Sister Wen, I'll keep watch here."
People said goodbye one after another.
The two new women sat at the head of the kang, and someone next to them was holding disinfectant alcohol and gauze, carefully bandaging their wounds.
The attentive care moved them to tears.
"You... you really want to go? They're a very powerful group, very scary..."
Wen Jiaojiao smiled, "That's probably not as scary as me. It's late at night and everyone is asleep, so it's a perfect time for a sneak attack."
She turned and walked out the door with the hot potatoes in her pocket.
Everyone in the room chatted and laughed, shared potatoes for a midnight snack, and then went to sleep and returned to their rooms.
There were only two new women left in the room.
The noise outside gradually died down, evidently everyone had fallen asleep. The two people who had been lying quietly on the kang suddenly sat up and quietly stepped onto the floor.
"What are you going to do?"
The other one lying down suddenly spoke.
The man on the ground paused and said softly, "You know."
"You still want to go?" The man lying on the ground stood up and grabbed his companion. "They've been very kind to us. They've taken us in, given us food, and treated our injuries. Why don't we just stay? There are many women here, and the leader is also a woman. They will definitely not bully us. Besides..."
"Bullshit!" the man whispered angrily, "Are you crazy? No matter how good this place is, we're still going to be killed and destroyed in the end. Do you think that Wen guy can beat them? If the boss finds out you're planning to betray me, you'll definitely become food! Don't get me into trouble if you go crazy!"
The other person was stunned.
There is a struggle between conscience and man, and I am hesitant and entangled.
"But……"
"But what? You think this place is good? Once the boss takes over, we can live here too. If we do something good this time, the boss will look at us differently, and we might be able to live better! At least, at least..."
At least I won't be tormented by several people every night anymore, right?
The two people stood silently in the darkness, facing each other.
After a moment, the man on the kang bit his lip.
Finally, he got off the kang as well.
The two of them quietly slipped out of the room together.
Everyone took out a packet of strange-smelling powder from their pockets.
