Chapter 100: Courage
Huo Dong wrapped a white towel around his head, and tied his neck tightly with a piece of sleeve. He dressed like an Arab. Then he carefully tied his trouser legs with a straw rope with a slight trembling hand, jumped on the spot, and then checked again.
He was sure that he had never been so cautious in his life.
He touched his clothes and pants, feeling the hard and rough texture on his hands, and then he felt a little relieved. These clothes were strengthened by Boss Luo's superpowers and became invulnerable. Even if they were bitten by a first-level mutant beast for half an hour, they could not be bitten through.
Although he hasn't tried it, of course he hopes that it is better not to have the chance to try it.
He took out the only remaining packet of Huanghe Tower 1916 and was about to light a cigarette to relieve the pressure. There were only five left in the cigarette box. Except for Luo Yuan's few, the others never divided it. He didn't think these people would bring him any benefits. In fact, he looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart.
Before the end of the world, he was an agent and a boss of all sizes. Although he was not worth mentioning compared to the previous billionaire, he was not on the same level as these ** silk migrant white-collar workers.
However, he hesitated for a moment and generously gave everyone a piece of it. This time it is not a stingy time. This action is very dangerous. If something happens and makes a good relationship with others, it can sometimes play a key role.
Chen Xianfeng took the cigarette and greedily smelled it. He touched his pocket, took out a lighter slowly, and then ignited it on fire and took a greedy breath. He didn't spit it out for a long time, looking intoxicated.
Huo Dong glanced at Chen Xianfeng in a faint way, and smiled reluctantly and said, "By the way, we are all people on the kang, so everyone can help each other."
Sun Xiaowu said carelessly: "It goes without saying that anyone who encounters danger must support him immediately. If anyone escapes, don't blame me for not giving him face."
"I agree, even if we don't pursue it, I don't think the boss can tolerate such people." Zhao Gang said immediately.
Thinking of Luo Yuan's cold attitude that night, Huo Dong's heart was shocked, and his original small abacus was quickly dispelled.
As for Chen Xianfeng next to him, he squatted on the ground and smoked in a muffled voice, silent.
A cigarette burned out, and everyone tacitly picked up a simple spear made of triangle iron with shelves, and walked out of the villa with a watering can filled with gasoline.
The grass not only hinders the sight, but also serves as a breeding ground for nourishing mutant organisms. It is extremely dangerous for ordinary people to live nearby. If Luo Yuan and others want to live here forever, this problem must be solved first. However, the area of the community park is too large. Even if all the fuel is exhausted, it is only a drop in the bucket. Moreover, if it is not cleaned and maintained frequently, a new grass will soon appear again.
Neither gasoline nor artificial energy is enough.
So Luo Yuan decided to narrow his goal and clean up the grass around the villa first. This time, Luo Yuan did not plan to do it himself, but handed over the task to the newcomers.
People who do not experience danger cannot grow. Moreover, they do not want to raise these people for nothing. If they dare not even try such a small danger, they will be completely disappointed with them. Fortunately, they still have some courage or wisdom, and agree without hesitation.
Originally, Luo Yuan planned to let all these women go, but Huang Jiahui stopped him, so Luo Yuan thought about it and let it go.
Women have natural weaknesses in battle. Some people don’t even dare to kill chickens. Let them follow them. That is no longer going to take risks, but going to die. Such things can only be done slowly.
...
On the second floor of the old villa, Luo Yuan looked at the group of people in the distance through the window that had long been lost.
The four of them seemed extremely cautious, and they could even be said to be too cautious. Every time there was a turmoil, they were frightened and stood still, with a pale face like a dead person. Luo Yuan was still a little interested at first, but after watching it for a while, it became unrestrained, which was really boring.
"We're almost gone." Huang Jiahui next to him suddenly said.
"How did you use it so quickly?" Luo Yuan said in surprise.
"In addition to washing your face, brushing your teeth, and washing your vegetables, the remaining water in the water heater used for cooking, and other cooking uses mineral water. In addition, a bottle of drinks a day, even if you save it, you have to use half a box every day. We can't hold on for a few days." Huang Jiahui said worriedly.
“How many more are there now?”
"Only half of the box is left." Huang Jiahui said softly.
Luo Yuan looked out the window and said, "I'll find a way to do these things. I'll go out in the afternoon. There should be a lot of mineral water in the uninhabited houses outside."
Huang Jiahui was a little reluctant to speak, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I mean, why don't we leave here? The water here has been polluted. Even if we can find mineral water now, it will be used up one day. Now Hedong City has been abandoned and there will be no support. The more we get there, the fewer people will survive here. In the end, the entire Hedong City will become a wilderness. Do we live here for the rest of our lives?"
Luo Yuan was silent for a long time: "Then where do you think it would be safer to go?"
"Beijing!" Huang Jiahui spit out two words.
"It's more than a thousand kilometers away from here!" Luo Yuan said calmly: "I don't know what kind of danger will happen on the road, and do you think the highway kilometers can still be connected now? If you have to walk for a few more days, can the danger in the middle be safely saved!"
"But it won't be safe for long!"
"But at least it's safe now." Luo Yuan suddenly stopped. No matter how sufficient the reason was, he could not hide the paleness and powerlessness. He knew that he was cowardly, just like the choices of those who stayed in the air-raid shelter were no different. He knew that Hedong City would become more and more dangerous, but he turned a blind eye because of temporary peace.
At this time, Wang Shishi's screams broke the dispute between the two.
"It's burning, so many mutant beasts. How many mutant beasts are hidden in this grassland?" Wang Shishi shouted, completely ignoring the pale faces of the other women.
Jin Meili held her hands tightly, and the joints on the back of her hand were pinched white. She watched countless mutant beasts running around and saw some of them rushing towards Zhao Gang, and she couldn't help but feel nervous and trembled all over. She quickly closed her eyes and opened and closed her mouth quickly.
Luo Yuanwu was sensitive and heard that she was praying for the Bodhisattva's blessing.
"Ah, Sun Xiaowu was bitten." Ning Xiaoran exclaimed, with horror in his eyes.
Luo Yuan looked over the window and saw Sun Xiaowu lying on the ground. An insect the size of a puppy bit its trouser legs tightly. Sun Xiaowu was obviously panicked and the spear in his hand was poking wildly, but because of his nervousness, he returned empty-handed every time. His crotch was wet, and he was frightened and incontinent.
The few people around him hesitated for a moment, then quickly supported him with their spears.
Several spears poked around, but they had no idea. These people had never practiced such things before, and they were afraid of being injured by accident and did not dare to use force. After a long time of work, they did not kill the mutant insect. In the end, Chen Xianfeng smashed the spear as a stick and finally rescued Sun Xiaowu.
Just as everyone was relieved, a volatile mutant rat rushed over madly and jumped high to bite Zhao Gang's throat.
His face was horrified, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it. The mutant rat bit his arm, and the remaining momentum directly threw Zhao Gang, who was already weak in his hands and feet to the ground. Zhao Gang screamed and his arms kept shaking, but this mutant rat was obviously quite fierce, and he would not let go if he bite him.
"Ah, Zhao Gang was bitten too!" Ning Xiaoran said again.
Do you think it was a live broadcast? Luo Yuan glared at her, and Ning Xiaoran was so scared that he quickly closed his mouth.
When Jin Meili heard something happened to Zhao Gang, her body trembled and quickly opened her eyes. When she saw that Zhao Gang was thrown to the ground by a mutant rat, she was stunned. Her body shook and almost fainted. When she came to her senses, she anxiously begged Luo Yuan: "Brother Luo, please, go and save Zhao Gang!"
Luo Yuan sighed inwardly and shook his head: "The only one who can save them is themselves. If you can't even deal with this little difficulty, even if you survive today, you won't be able to survive for a few days."
"Don't be nervous, the mutant mouse can't bite Zhao Gang's clothes at all. He's fine." Huang Jiahui has also seen the clothes that Luo Yuan synthesized this time. It's more armor than clothes. It just looks dangerous now.
Jin Meili shook her head in despair, suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily. The ground was pounding by her, and soon the blood was dyed red: "Brother Luo, I know you are a good person. You can help the best of all, save his life, we will repay you as a cow or a horse in the future."
Luo Yuan felt sorry for his eyes and was about to agree, but the situation outside changed again.
Sun Xiaowu, who had just been saved, felt that his previous performance was really embarrassing and a little angry. Seeing that Zhao Gang was bitten, he rushed up without thinking and pinched the mutant rat's throat.
In this killing atmosphere, Huo Dong forgot his fear for a moment. When his head was confused, he rushed over with a spear, and the tip of the spear penetrated into the mutant rat's stomach, and then several spears followed.
"Get up, it's okay, Zhao Gang is already saved." Huang Jiahui said quickly, walking over to help Jin Meili up.
Jin Meili raised her head in surprise. At this time, her forehead was covered with blood and tears. She looked at the window with suspicion and found that Zhao Gang had stood up, and the mutant mouse had been thrown to the side, covered with blood holes.
She wiped her tears, cried and laughed, so excited that she couldn't do it herself.
Luo Yuan looked at this scene of peace and joy and felt a faint feeling in his heart.
………
After experiencing a battle that seemed to be a child playing house in Luo Yuan, the temperament of these people has vaguely changed. Perhaps because they saw the strong defense ability of their clothes, or perhaps because they had seen blood, these people became more calm and no longer panicked when they encountered mutant beasts.
Each subsequent battle ended quickly, and sometimes it didn't even need anyone else's help.
Low-level mutant beasts are not considered powerful. As long as they are not unlucky to encounter some weird mutant beasts, as long as they are a little bolder, even ordinary people who have not been trained can easily kill them.
Due to the improvement of efficiency, in just half a day, the grassland of the new villa was completely burned and cleaned up.
The gasoline was also much less than expected, and only about eight barrels of gasoline was used for 25 kilograms.
In fact, due to wind today, many times, just spray it along the straight line and it can burn more than ten meters or even dozens of meters wide.
When he came back, almost everyone was injured, but most of them were skin trauma. The worst was Chen Xianfeng. Two fingers were bitten off with his left hand, and his face was pale, but he didn't say anything. Zhao Gang's arm was also bitten and turned purple. Fortunately, it did not break. He only injured his muscles. He only had to take care of it for a few days.
