The last plant pet took me to be the landlord

On the sixth day on the road, Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai's snow RV arrived at two neighboring towns.

Changhe Town and Jiuhe Town.

A long river about two to three hundred meters wide runs between the two towns, and there is a bridge over the river connecting the north-south national highway.

Naturally, their snowmobile also had to pass through these two towns and this bridge.

Before reaching Changhe Town, I could see from afar that the road several hundred meters ahead had been cleared.

The thick snow on the road was compressed into square ice bricks and piled on both sides of the road, more than two meters high.

It was exactly noon, so the two stopped the car and did not move forward. They let Xiao Jiu fly to the front to investigate while they quickly ate lunch in the car.

Just after lunch, Jiang Bai prepared milk tea for Lu Beier. When Xiao Jiufei came back, there was still half a cup of topping left in Lu Beier's milk tea.

"Hey, host, there are survivors ahead! There are quite a few of them, and they are still fighting!"

Xiaojiu, who has been used to exploring the road conditions outside these days, suddenly encountered Xincunzhe fighting. She went over to watch for a long time before coming back to call her host, looking as if she should go quickly or they would disperse if she didn't go.

Fortunately, Xiaojiu is invisible, and no one can see it even if it flies around above people's heads.

When Lu Bei'er heard someone fighting, she just tore open the milk tea cup, immediately gulped it all down, and was about to get off the car immediately.

Before Jiang Bai could stop her, an empty milk tea cup was stuffed into her hand. Seeing her jump out of the car with her cheeks puffed up, he found it a little funny.

Is this really boring?

Jiang Bai also got out of the car, raised his hand to put the car back into the space. Lu Bei'er in front had already put on her scarf and gloves, and said to Xiao Jiu incoherently, "...In front? Uh, wait for me to get off!" She also turned back and gave Jiang Bai a look that said "hurry up".

There was still a thin layer of snow particles on the road. Jiang Bai was worried that she would fall if she walked too fast, so he quickly followed her.

The two walked for several hundred meters and turned a corner before they saw the crowd ten meters away.

There were shouting, arguing, and pushing in the crowd. There were also people trying to mediate and persuade the people, and there were also people just watching the fun. There were estimated to be dozens of people.

They were wearing all kinds of bulky warm clothes, but they were still full of energy when they quarreled. It was obvious that they were living well in this cold environment.

Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai also noticed that some people on the outskirts of the crowd were not empty-handed. They were carrying heavy buckets and bulging snakeskin bags.

It seemed that the source of their dispute was the buckets and the contents of their pockets.

These people were arguing so intently that even when Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai walked closer and heard the content of their argument clearly, they didn't notice it.

It turns out it was all for the resources in a river.

Originally, the two towns had agreed to rationally distribute existing resources. For example, a specified number of fish in the river would be salvaged regularly to ensure the basic needs of all people in the two towns and to allow as many of them as possible to survive the severe cold.

But there are always people who can't help but want to secretly cross the line and want to get a little more for themselves.

This was accidentally exposed, and eventually the two towns almost came to a fight.

However, the fight did not break out in the end.

After all, in today's environment, fighting also requires energy.

People from both sides stepped forward and took a step back to stop the dispute, and the poached fish were divided equally.

As soon as the incident was over, someone discovered Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai, two strangers who had suddenly appeared.

This was the first time they encountered outsiders coming to their place after the extreme cold.

The snow outside is now so thick that it can bury people directly. It is impossible to move without the help of external objects. So when they suddenly appeared these two outsiders, in addition to being shocked and vigilant, they were also a little curious.

After testing and talking with each other, Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai also roughly understood the apparent situation of the two towns, which could be heard by outsiders.

There are only about a hundred people left in the two towns combined.

The rescue team took most of the people away at the beginning. Those left behind included those who failed to leave for various reasons, those who were left in remote villages, and those who passed by here and were trapped by the extreme cold.

The survivors were led by two local big families, Pan and Zhu. The two families were related to each other and formed a group, which happened to be the two groups of Changhe Town and Jiuhe Town.

The two families took the few survivors who came to seek refuge and divided up all the surrounding resources equally, including the trees in the nearby mountains and forests, the fish in the river, and so on.

The people in these two towns were very different from the few survivors that Lu Beier and his companions had met before.

The most obvious thing is their mental outlook. The hundred or so people in these two towns are obviously much more energetic.

Even though there were red marks from frostbite on their faces, revealing dry and cracked skin, they couldn't stop themselves from getting angry during arguments. When they wanted to glare and yell, they would take off their masks and scarves for fear that it would affect their performance.

The leader of Changhe Town was called Uncle Pan Liu by everyone, and the leader of Jiuhe Town was called Master Zhu Er by them.

Before the apocalypse, one of them was a fisherman and sold fish, and the other was a butcher and sold pigs. Both of them were tall and strong. After so long in the apocalypse, they are still strong, which shows that their food is not bad at ordinary times.

Both of them showed a great deal of interest and enthusiasm in Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai, but not everyone was like that. Most people were still watching and examining.

Uncle Pan and Master Zhu took Jiang Bai and Lu Bei'er, bypassed the bridge blocked by compressed ice, went down the river along the river bank, and prepared to cross the frozen river surface to Changhe Town on the other side.

When they reached the river surface, all those who had just stopped fishing stood on the ice and started to chisel at the ice to catch fish.

The two camps were clearly divided, separated by a distance on the left and right.

Today the sun broke through the clouds, shining sparsely, and the wind and snow were unusually much smaller.

Those who were fishing by breaking ice on the river seemed to want to take advantage of the good weather and light wind and snow to catch fish as soon as possible. As for the two strangers, anyone who looked at them for a second longer would be stopped and brought back to their senses by others.

Xiaojiu relied on its stealth properties and flapped its little wings to hover over these people's heads and watch the fun.

It was indeed quite lively.

These people are very skilled in both breaking ice and fishing, and they cooperate with each other very well.

The cross-use of abilities of different attributes can achieve unexpected results.

Some people used gold powers to cut ice, some used water powers to drive away schools of fish, and some directly used lightning to stun the fish, then put down their nets and scooped up as many as they could.

Even Xiaojiu couldn't help but marvel at Lu Beier's skillful movements in her consciousness.

Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai followed Uncle Pan Liu and Master Zhu Er, watching the lively fishing scenes, feeling it was quite fresh.

Knowing the intentions of these two people, Jiang Bai still gestured to Lu Bei'er to look at the fishing scene on the other side.

It turned out that there was a person with wind-related abilities there, who used wind to wrap the water around to form a small tornado, which directly blew the fish in the water onto the ice.

"Today is a rare good day, so we caught a lot of fish! Normally, we wouldn't dare to catch so many fish at once! It's too cold, and the fish in the river are almost dead! You just happened to see this today!"

"Not only the fish in the river, but also the trees on the mountain are decreasing day by day! I don't know if our hundred or so people can survive this extreme cold!"

The two of them sang in unison, which not only showed people the source of their supplies, but also intuitively demonstrated their strength.

After they finished talking, they happily led Jiang Bai and Lu Bei'er along the river bank and walked towards the river bank, just following behind those people who were carrying full buckets of fish.

Following them ashore, we saw that their fish were being pulled away on a sled.

That’s right, the sled was pulled by a few sled dogs.

Lu Bei'er was shocked when she saw the sled dogs.

"Is this a sled dog? Can they live outdoors in such low temperatures?" Lu Bei'er even checked today's temperature through the system panel.

It's still minus seventy-five degrees.

"It could be that it has mutated to be particularly cold-resistant, or it could be a special variety!"

Jiang Bai guessed that this animal, which looked like a wolf and a husky, should be a breed of sled dog, and it was very likely that it had special abilities that allowed it to survive outdoors in temperatures of minus 75 degrees Celsius.

In extreme environments, animals and plants may be the first to adapt in the process of survival of the fittest.

Then comes humans.
