Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

"Miss Shi, the territory of Dahe Village is ahead." Yan Fei stopped and pointed ahead.

Shi Anan raised her head and looked in the direction he pointed. This glance gave her a little hope, because the environment here was much better than the villages she had passed by before.

Dahe Village, Dahe Village, was named after the river next to their village. Now this river, like the one in the town, has not been destroyed by the meteorite shower, and the plants around the river are still lush and green.

The situation in Dahe Village seems to have improved a lot, but I don’t know what it’s like inside.

"The others wait here. Yan Fei, take us to have a look." Shi Anan said to Yan Fei.

"Okay!" Yan Fei walked in front to lead the way. Shi Anan pulled Xiao Yi, motioning him to follow. The two followed Yan Fei into Dahe Village.

At this time, a lot of villagers were gathered around an ancestral hall in Dahe Village, about 200 people. They were the only survivors of Dahe Village.

Disaster after disaster has caused the population of their village to drop sharply from over 200 people at the beginning to just over 600 now, with nearly deaths. It is a tragic loss, and now they are facing even more severe tests.

"Village chief, we are running out of food." An older villager from Dahe Village said to a young man surrounded by a crowd.

This young man is the new village chief of Dahe Village. Logically speaking, it would not be his turn to be the village chief at such a young age. However, he is the son of the previous village chief and a rare scholar in the village. Like Li Zimu, he is a young scholar who has been in Tai'an for ten years.

In this era, people with knowledge are more respected. Moreover, since the previous village chief of Dahe Village passed away, he took the initiative to lead the villagers so that they would not become a group of scattered sand. Therefore, even though he is relatively young, the villagers still respect him.

Especially after going through so much, the surviving villagers regarded him as their backbone.

"Has the farmland not been cleared yet?" asked Yang Wenchuan, the young man called the village chief.

The villagers who were stumped by his question said with a sad face: "The farmland before was either hit by rocks from the sky, or filled with rocks from the mountains. We can't clean it out with our current manpower."

"Even if we take the trouble to clear it out, we won't be able to grow much food by the time of spring ploughing. The food we have now won't be enough to support us in harvesting new crops."

Yang Wenchuan was also a bit troubled when he heard this answer. Although he had focused on studying for the imperial examinations before, he was born in a farming family and was not completely ignorant of household affairs. If he missed the spring plowing, let alone the harvest, it was hard to say whether he could grow crops.

In addition, they don’t have enough food, and the fields are no longer the fertile land they once were. This food problem is really difficult to solve. We can’t let so many people starve together.

Yang Wenchuan thought for a moment and asked again, "Have the people we sent to investigate Changping Town returned? What's the situation in the town?"

A man in the crowd stepped forward and answered, "I went to Changping Town. The suffering there was worse than in our village. The people in the town started digging up the soil and tree roots to eat. I didn't dare to say I was from Dahe Village because I was afraid they would follow me and steal our food."

Yang Wenchuan frowned even deeper. They didn't have enough food, and there was no extra food in the town. They wanted to farm but there was no land or seeds. Was this going to force them to death?

"Village chief! Village chief!" At this time, a person from outside ran in hurriedly.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Yang Wenchuan looked at the man and asked.

"A group of people suddenly came outside, and now three of them have entered the village and are walking towards us." This person is responsible for patrolling and surveillance. Their village is a bigger target. There have been several waves of people from other villages who wanted to come and steal food before, but they were all scattered people and posed no threat to them.

But this time it was different, the other side had no fewer people than their village.

"What? How many people are there on the other side?" Yang Wenchuan immediately asked seriously.

"Probably no less than 200 people." And the mental state of that group of people seemed to be better than those of the people in their village.

"Where did all these people come from?" Yang Wenchuan asked curiously. They had already explored the area, and it was considered a lot if there were only 20 or 30 people left in the surrounding villages.

"I see a few familiar people. They seem to be the group of people in town." The person who came to report the situation said hesitantly.

"People in the town? Didn't they say they were so hungry that they ate tree bark? How could they have the energy to find us?" Yang Wenchuan turned his gaze to the man who had gone to the town to investigate before.

"This... I did see them digging wild vegetables and tree bark to eat. I also asked them, and they said that there was no food left in the town." The person who investigated also touched his head in confusion.

"Could it be that you revealed the situation in our Dahe Village and they came to steal our food?" At this time, other people in the village could not help but say to the person who was investigating.

"How is this possible! How could I do such a thing? Am I trying to kill myself?" The person being questioned replied unhappily.

"Then who knows if you accidentally let it slip while chatting, otherwise how would they find us here!" These villagers were also a little scared. They were outnumbered by the other side, and there was not much food left. If they really came to steal the food, they would definitely not be able to keep it.

Even if we can save some of them, what will we do in the future? Will we have to dig wild vegetables and eat tree bark?

"Okay, stop arguing. Didn't they say that there were only three people coming over? I'll go and take a look first. Who knows, maybe they're not here to steal food." Yang Wenchuan interrupted and walked out first.

The other villagers looked at Yang Wenchuan as he left, and followed him worriedly.

When Shi Anan and the other two came in, they found that the investigator had run away. There were living people in this village!

Look, although Dahe Village also suffered some damage from the meteorite, the damage was much better than that of the previous villages. It is not surprising that there are surviving villagers. I just don't know why that villager ran away when he saw them.

Shi Anan didn't feel surprised for long. When she was halfway there, she saw a group of people walking out of the village. There were quite a lot of people in this group, and the villagers were in much better spirits than when she first went to the town. The leader was a young man with a pretty good appearance.

Shi Anan saw them, and Yang Wenchuan and others on the opposite side also saw Shi Anan, Xiao Yi and Yan Fei.

Yang Wenchuan's attention was immediately attracted by Shi Anan and Xiao Yi who were standing behind Yan Fei. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. These two people had such outstanding temperament and appearance, they were definitely not from their place!
