470, Winter Has Arrived34

Yu Heng went up to take a look. Sure enough, someone had set fire to Zhou's house. The side room of Zhou Jianye's house next door was also on fire. In addition to the smell of burning, there was also the smell of blood in the air. The bodies of the people who attacked Zhou's family in the middle of the night were piled outside the door of Zhou's house, shocking others. Zhou Qingrong didn't know whether to laugh or sigh: "Twenty-four people, seven of them are in my team."

Although some of the dozens of companions he carefully selected betrayed him, there were only seven of them, which seemed acceptable. Zhou Qingrong was still a little depressed. He picked and selected the people who could deliver the guns, but no matter how solemnly they swore to work together, they still changed. They were unwilling to manage the cave in a unified way, and they hated Zhou Qingrong for making such a suggestion.

After discovering the cave, Zhou Qingrong said not to release the news at once, and wait until they collected the fruits and then distributed them to the villagers. Some people were unwilling to do so, saying that whoever collected the fruits would get them. Someone else suggested that they should monopolize the cave, but Zhou Qingrong and some people thought it was not good. The villagers were starving, and they could not do such a selfish thing.

In fact, Zhou Qingrong should have known at that time that a warm cave had already created a rift between them. Maybe they had the same stand and the same views when facing external intrusions, but they showed different views when there were benefits to be distributed.

Finally, a few more radical people decided to smash Zhou Qingrong's rafter and rebuild a new order in Laokang Village. The distribution of the cave should be based on strength!

Yu Heng glanced at the corpse and said, "Let's organize good people to go up the mountain to sow tomorrow. Time waits for no one." He supported Zhou Qingrong's approach. Although the world is difficult, there must be a bottom line. It is too selfish to monopolize the cave to block the news of the cave, and there will be endless troubles! There are more than 7,000 people in the village. If the news leaks out, even if there are swords, guns and bullets, they can't resist the wall of people. Moreover, it is incompetent to let the cave be reclaimed indiscriminately. The ray of dawn in the cold winter is a gift from nature. Only by gathering the strength of the villagers to work together can they survive together.

"Mom, I understand."

Others called Zhou Qingrong over, and Zhou Qingrong persuaded Yu Heng to go into the cellar to sleep, and he went to work. He used the trick to set up an ambush and caught all those who had ulterior motives. After this battle, his reputation will definitely be even higher. Yu Heng looked at his back, as if he saw a mountain on his back. He coughed lightly twice, and he felt a little uncomfortable after just staying up late.

After coming to this world, he had done what he could, and the rest of the responsibility could only be shouldered by Zhou Qingrong.

After that night, the planting plan of the cave was officially launched, and the villagers needed to take turns to go into the mountains to guard the crops and vegetable fields. Under Zhou Qingrong's high-pressure control, no one dared to express their opposition openly.

Although all the birds and animals in the cave were plowed and caught by the villagers, Zhou Qingrong left a nest of sparrow eggs when he went there for the first time. He and Mingming did not eat the eggs like other villagers. Now they can raise them at home. When they hatch, there will always be meat to eat at home.

And I don’t know if it’s because it’s deep in the mountains or the cave makes the surface warmer. There are more prey near the cave. Every time Zhou Qingrong goes down the mountain, he can always bring back some small prey such as rabbits or mice and snakes. When Yu Heng and Zheng Han are free, they dry all the prey and store them to prevent thieves from finding them. The collected fruits are also washed and quickly made into jam. In short, they are mainly preserved so that they can be eaten in the future. They are not the kind of people who eat a lot of food once they have enough supplies. They must leave room for the future.

In this way, the fifth year of the apocalypse has passed.

In March of the sixth year of the apocalypse, another group of refugees came to Laokang Village. Although they were really miserable, the village could not accommodate them and only stopped them outside the wall. At the end of the same month, another group of refugees entered Xiangya Town. This time, they made a lot of noise. As soon as they came in, they occupied two neighboring villages, one called Tu'an Village and the other called Lin'an Village.

They used knives and guns, and the sound was deafening.

In the villages near the two villages, some villagers saw this bloody method and knew that they were tough. They would rob houses today and food tomorrow. Therefore, they were so scared that they dared not live at home, packed up their belongings and ran away quickly. Two families also came to Laokang Village and were accepted by their respective relatives. This is how the news came.

"Is it really that scary?" Zheng Han widened his eyes, "Is it so scary that they don't even want to go home?" After experiencing two cold waves, those who survived know the importance of the cellar at home. These days, most people's homes are overcrowded, and they are not sure if there is any space for them to live in their relatives' homes. If they go home, their house is likely to have been occupied by someone else, and the front and back roads are not very clear, but they still came, which shows that they were quite frightened.

Zhou Qingrong had just returned from that house, and nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, it is said that a cannon was directly fired at the entrance of the village, and the tank's launcher was facing the village. You can choose to leave or not, if you don't leave, you can just blow it up." Such a gangster's behavior is straightforward and rough, and there is really no solution. "There are tanks in Lin'an Village. I heard that they were moved back from the town school before, but they couldn't be repaired and couldn't be used. They were usually placed at the entrance of the village as mascots. This time the tank was directly blown up, and the explosion affected half of the nearby alley."

After listening to Zhou Qingrong's inquiries, everyone felt very heavy.

"Will they not come to our village?"

"We are still far away from Lin'an Village, so it should be fine for the time being. I'm just worried about the future." Zhou Qingrong whispered, "Cave!"

Yu Heng said: "From today on, be careful when going up and down the mountain."

"Well, I plan to extend the time each group of people stays in the cave and reduce the number of shift changes."

Not only that, Zhou Qingrong also strengthened the security of the village. The village was very nervous because of the bad news, and he went out of the village to find out the situation. Yu Heng also went with him, but he didn't dare to drive the car for fear of attracting attention.

In the sixth year of the apocalypse, vehicles have become a luxury. Although Xiangya Town has no snow under the protective cover, it is an independent cold boat, and it is impossible to transport supplies in. Therefore, the town has as little supplies as it can use. Supplies such as gasoline have long been unavailable for purchase and exchange.

A few people walked to Tuan Village. At the intersection of the highway near the two villages, they could see many villagers moving around, and they looked hurried. Yu Heng stopped a villager who was crossing the road with a bag on his back to inquire about the situation. The man raised his eyelids and continued to walk. Zhou Qingrong took the opportunity to take out a thin piece of bacon that was only the length of a finger, "We just asked, this is for you!"

The air-dried rabbit meat exuded a mellow fragrance that aroused the taste buds. The man finally stopped and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Yu Heng asked, "I heard that there are disaster victims coming in. Tu'an Village and Lin'an Village have been occupied. What's the situation now?"

The man's brows were knitted together, squeezing out deep ravines. "That's it! Someone came to knock on the door and ask for things this morning. They were just like gangsters. I don't dare to stay here anymore and was about to leave. Are you from another village? Hurry up and leave! This time it's not easy to mess with. Damn, these days, the one with a gun is the old man, and we can only be the bastards."

"Mom, let's go over and take a look."

"Okay."

The five of them approached the village carefully and saw that there were many people in the village, shouting and yelling. Judging from their accents, they were not locals. There was a constant stream of arguments and curses, and suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the small low wall where Yu Heng was hiding seemed to have been shaken down by a handful of sand and stones.

Someone shouted in shock and anger from the direction of the gunshot: "Murder!"

Another gunshot rang out, and after a while, seven or eight people came out of a yard, carrying things on their backs, looking like they had reaped a lot of rewards. The villagers secretly watched them leave, but dared not speak out.

When returning to the village, Zhou Qingrong had been talking to Mingming, Zhou Qingshui and several others about the future arrangements. Yu Heng gave him a "reassured" look. Since weapons were not a problem, Zhou Qingrong had no worries and started working non-stop after arriving in the village.

He and Mingming were obviously haggard.

In the days that followed, Xiangya Town began to fall into chaos. The new victims had high martial arts values ​​and were as sharp as a blade in their actions. They fiercely stabbed into the pattern of Xiangya Town, where various forces were intertwined and barely maintained a balance, and Xiangya Town was in chaos.

Although Xiangya Town is small, it has formed a considerable force over the years. In addition to the local residents, there were five batches of disaster victims who moved in. The first batch, which made the people of Xiangya Town feel the hardship of survival for the first time, was the Legion that moved into the town's school. Although the Legion was wiped out in the town due to the cold wave, the disaster victims they escorted in were scattered to various villages and later became a force. ——They should be a powerful family before the end of the world. They have no shortage of bodyguards and weapons, money and food, and rarely have conflicts with local people.

Later, four more batches of people came in one after another. Mingming entered Xiangya Town in the fourth batch, which was almost two years ago.

Those who can enter Xiangya Town in large numbers are supported by the Legion at the core position. And each Legion has a different style of doing things, and there must be friction between forces. After a lot of ping-pong, Xiangya Town can calm down again.

It has been almost two years since the last time the disaster victims entered. In fact, the Legion that escorted Mingming and other disaster victims into Xiangya Town acted more steadily. Although there were too many people and the town was crowded, there was no big friction.

This time, the legion started looting as soon as they came in, and several villages were in trouble and homeless. Xiangya Town is really saturated with population! It is really difficult to settle so many people coming in all of a sudden - it is difficult to communicate with the existing residents and how to squeeze people in. It is difficult to get materials to build new houses, etc.

Who would have thought that these people's hearts are as broad as the sea, and they don't care about anything and just drive people to occupy houses. Not only occupying houses, but also robbing food, one by one is not a human thing. The forces that had settled in the town early became alert at a glance, and when they saw that things were not done properly, they wanted to suppress them.

The artillery fire and gunshots continued, and the people in Laokang Village were panicked. In the end, the old legion forces united to win. In the game of power, the occupied Tu'an Village and Lin'an Village were taken back, and the defeated legion was forced into the mountains and lost its trace. Later, in order to distinguish the legion forces, people jokingly called each other the mountain army.

But after that, the nearby villages were often attacked by bandits, and the number of missing villagers who went up the mountain to hunt continued to soar. It was obviously the work of the remnants of the army who were chased up the mountain. After organizing several clearing activities, other army forces in the town had to give up. The mountain was too big!

At the beginning, the mountain army's wanton actions on the mountain made Yu Heng a little worried. He was worried that the cave would be discovered, and he was also worried about Zhou Qingrong and Mingming who often went up the mountain to hunt. Since their village found the footprints to the cave, the villagers' hunting activities have expanded to the depths of the mountain. The harvest is indeed much better. Some villagers even hunted a bear. Although one person died, it was a bear!

The farther the hunting distance is, the more unknown dangers there are. Yu Heng told Zhou Qingrong and Mingming to be more careful and hide immediately if they heard any noise in the mountains. Now, the living people encountered in the mountains are not just hunters from other villages, but also remnant soldiers with murderous intentions. Fortunately, the dozen known incidents of mountain army riots are far away from Laokang Village. It seems that their range of activities is not here, which makes Yu Heng feel a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, the villagers of Laokang Village did not encounter any danger when they went up the mountain. The mountain army suddenly attacked Laokang Village at night without any warning, and it turned out to be the snow cover that was fooled many years ago.
