"What's wrong with Kosode?"
Noticing that Zhao Xiaoxiu had paused, Meng Da looked up from the food with a puzzled expression and asked.
Zhao Gang, who was busy washing vegetables at the stove, and Sister Monkey, who had been ordered to pick mutated cabbages in the yard, immediately looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu with concern.
Zhao Xiaoxiu felt a little flattered, but also warmed her heart. She hadn't expected that everyone would care about her so much just because she had been in a daze for a moment.
Peter Pan flew into the yard. Zhao Xiaoxiu put down her chopsticks, stood up, and looked at Zhao Gang, saying:
"Dad, Peter Pan said the Green Field Alliance has come here, there are so many of them."
The Meng brothers' relaxed expressions instantly tightened, and they suddenly found the frog meat in their bowls unappetizing.
"Because of the heavy rain?" Meng Er asked in surprise.
Meng Dadao: "I'll go take a look."
"I'm going too!" Meng Er immediately put down his chopsticks and went out, but before leaving, he didn't forget to grab two more pieces of frog meat and put them in his mouth.
Soon, the sound of a car engine starting could be heard outside the yard, and the two brothers drove out of their territory toward the entrance to the planting area.
Zhao Gang said, "It's not a big problem."
Turning around, she calmly continued picking vegetables, even instructing Sister Monkey to blanch all the mutated cabbages she had picked in a pot to prevent them from wandering around the house.
Hearing her father say this, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt a little relieved. She ran to the door and saw Peter Pan, who had just finished watching the commotion and almost got caught, immediately fly down from the roof and hover in front of her, using its big head to get closer to Zhao Xiaoxiu.
Zhao Xiaoxiu reached out and patted the fish's head reassuringly. She quickly checked her silly fish for injuries and, seeing that it was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief. She then solemnly instructed it:
"You don't need to leave the territory from now on, understand?"
Fearing that Peter Pan might not realize the survivors' greed and desire for it, Zhao Xiaoxiu threatened:
"If you go out again, someone might arrest you and make you into fish head soup!"
Peter Pan shook himself off; he hadn't forgotten the thrill of being chased by passersby, and obediently promised never to fly out of his territory again.
Zhao Xiaoxiu then patted its head with satisfaction and asked it what it had seen outside.
Peter Pan was, after all, a fish with a low IQ, and his description was unclear. He only said that he saw many, many people coming down from the mountain and onto the road, and then they headed all the way to the planting area.
"They've come to the planting area? Are there people in all three zones, A, B, and C?" Zhao Xiaoxiu pressed.
Peter Pan nodded. It was all people. The planting area was full of people, but only as many blackback fish from the pond were coming towards Area B.
Zhao Xiaoxiu understood; that meant there were about forty people.
No wonder Dad said it wasn't a big problem.
The loudspeaker at the neighboring patrol station blared, and at the same time, the lords in Sector B received a message on the special channel of the plantation walkie-talkie.
[Due to the torrential rain, a large number of wandering survivors have settled near the planting areas. All lords are urged to take precautions, ensure their personal safety, and protect their crops! Patrol teams have begun patrolling 24 hours a day; lords are advised to stay home and avoid venturing out to prevent any unforeseen events!]
At the same time the notice was issued, Zhao Xiaoxiu noticed that the patrol station had driven out all its vehicles, loaded various weapons onto them, and the patrol soldiers, fully armed, quickly boarded the vehicles under Mo Shigui's command. One after another, military pickup trucks carrying the soldiers left Area B and headed towards other planting areas.
The Meng brothers had just returned from outside. When their vehicles passed each other, Meng Da asked in confusion, "Station Chief Mo, where are you going?"
When Mo Shigui saw the Meng brothers, he was a little surprised as to why they were going out at this time.
But there was no time to ask those questions now. He quickly left with the words, "An armed conflict has broken out between Area A and the wandering survivors. We're going to provide support!"
With a few quick "whoosh" sounds, the truck sped away, splashing high sprays of water onto the modified SUV, blurring the view through the windshield and startling Meng Er, who was driving, who cursed, "Damn it!"
"Brother, what's going on?" Meng Er asked worriedly.
Meng Da frowned and gestured for his younger brother to go back first.
"Beep beep!" Two horn sounds rang out, and Zhao Xiaoxiu and the others inside immediately went to the door.
When Granny Meng saw her two sons return, she asked anxiously, "What happened? I saw that all the soldiers at our patrol station had gone out?"
Meng Er ran into the hall, taking off his raincoat as he said, "A large number of wandering survivors broke into the planting area and a fierce armed conflict broke out in Area A. Station Chief Mo and his team rushed over to support Area A."
Little Kid, who had been crouching in the corner and barely noticeable, was shocked: "No way? How did they get into the planting area? Is Evan here too?"
Meng Er glanced at him speechlessly. This guy was really something; if he hadn't suddenly spoken up, he would have thought there was no one in the room.
It's one thing to shamelessly stay in the territory, but he doesn't even bother to contribute anything. This morning when they went out to patrol the territory, he quickly hid.
Meng Da remembered that Xiwa was also a member of the Green Field Alliance, so he dragged him up from the corner and questioned him:
"What's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you staying somewhere peaceful during the rainy season? What are you doing in the planting area?"
Xiwa instinctively raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Brother Meng, I'm no longer a member of the Green Field Alliance! I'm an ally! I'm an ally!"
Meng Da didn't let go of him, continuing to hold Xiwa's collar as he told Zhao Gang and his daughter what he had just seen outside the planting area.
“A group of more than forty people came to our plantation. They were all young people, men and women. They set up tents right next to the southern border of the territory, but they didn’t break in.”
But there's a group of "robbers" loitering at the door. Even if they don't come in now, there's no guarantee they won't break in later.
Upon hearing this, Xiwa finally found a chance to speak and hurriedly said, "They definitely won't come in; they just want to find a place to hide from the berserk mutants."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
Zhao Xiaoxiu asked curiously, "How do you know they won't come in?"
Xiwa broke free from Meng Da's grasp and jumped behind Zhao Xiaoxiu before asking the Meng brothers about the characteristics of the group's clothing.
Upon learning that those people were wearing bones or fangs of mutated animals, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's not one of Evan's people, he scared me to death..." Before she could finish speaking, she met the dangerous scrutinizing gazes of Zhao Gang and the Meng family mother and son. She quickly regained her composure and explained:
"The Green Field Alliance is actually composed of dozens of groups. Evan's group has the largest number of members and the strongest strength. It also has connections with the senior management of the biotechnology company. Therefore, the core management team of the alliance consists of Evan's subordinates."
“Evan’s men take all the benefits for themselves first, which is very unfair. The small groups that attach themselves to them don’t respect their management, and there are often internal conflicts.”
"During the rainy season, we can't go out to find supplies, and we also have to face the berserk surge of mutated species. The Alliance can't support so many people, and these people were most likely kicked out by Evan."
After hearing what Xiwa said, the Meng brothers relaxed their serious expressions.
Since we were kicked out, there's no need to panic.
