The sun at noon was extremely dim, even in the daytime, the sun was like dusk, and there was no cloud in the sky, which made people feel that the weather was hotter, dry and dehydrated, and the ultraviolet rays were more intense.

The woman took her son with a hatchet and stood guard at the gate of Bai Yi's yard. She smelled the fragrance and kept swallowing, her eyes salivating with desire without concealing it. If she didn't keep her mouth tightly shut, the saliva would flow down the corners of her mouth.

At this time, it is a great thing to eat something, who would pick on the taste?Hunger is the best seasoning.

The fat and lean pork is cut into mahjong-sized pieces, boiled in boiling water for half a minute, and then taken out. Bai Yi puts the meat in the vegetable oil on the side, soaks it thoroughly, picks it up again, and uses the cold water soaked in the well The pigskin is wrinkled and the lines are clear.

Bai Yi poured out the water that had cooked the meat in the pot, put the meat in again, poured half a catty of white wine, a spoonful of brewed clear sauce, and half a catty of water to cook.

When the meat is fully cooked, it will turn red in color and have a tangy aroma. In addition to the salty aroma, there is also a very light wine aroma.

The appearance is also very good, the mahjong-sized meat is red, shiny and shrunk, it will fall apart with a little force from the chopsticks, and it will melt in the mouth. It is fat and thin but not greasy at all.

The gravy slides down the throat, leaving a fragrance in the mouth.

Bai Yi tasted a piece, and felt that the taste and heat were just right, and he called the mother and son to eat after putting it on the plate.

The woman's surname is Zheng, her name is Zheng Xue, her son's name is Chu Hao, and her nickname is Haohao.

Zheng Xue didn't expect to have her own and her son's share, and while swallowing wildly, she said, "We don't want to eat, let's just watch."

Haohao is also well-behaved, children who have been tortured always mature earlier, unlike ordinary children who want to eat something delicious, they just bite their fingers to look at it, and the saliva slips down the finger to the arm without noticing it.

Bai Yi smiled and said, "I made three servings, the weather won't make it into the night."

"Come and eat, it's better to eat than to waste."

He is not as gentle as a real person, nor as generous as a real person.

In a daze, Zheng Xue felt that Bai Yi had spread two big wings behind him, with a holy light on his body, and he was not human anymore.

In the end, the mother and son moved to the yard, picked up the bowl and started to gobble it up.

Bai Yi served a small bowl of rice by himself, and he was full after eating two pieces of meat.

On the other hand, Zheng Xue and Haohao, obviously look thin and small, but their stomachs are like a bottomless pit, a large plate of meat, and even the juice is mixed with rice in the end, and they are eaten clean. .

After eating the meat, Bai Yi went to pour two cups of cold tea and another cup of warm water for Haohao.

After Zheng Xue and Haohao finished eating, they realized that what they ate was too clean, and they felt embarrassed. They used to snatch food from others, and no matter how embarrassing they were, they would not feel ashamed. They are all food for survival. In front of survival, what is it worth? shameful.

But now, they have regained their sense of shame.

Zheng Xue covered her mouth and hiccupped. She looked at Bai Yi cautiously and said flatteringly, "You used to be a chef, right?"

Bai Yi was very pleased with being flattered, took a sip of tea, said with a smile on his face, "It doesn't count, it's just that I like it."

Zheng Xue didn't ask where the ingredients and condiments came from. She just looked at the other party's life alone, and she knew that the other party must have someone to rely on. She has lived in the doomsday for so long and knows what to ask and what not to ask. He died because he knew too much.

If you don't ask, you don't know, and if you don't know, there is no danger.

Everyone has secrets, why bother to find out?

Although Zheng Xue was thin, she still had some strength in her hands. Bai Yi casually found her a job cutting firewood, but she didn't expect that she would soon fill up the yard of the bungalow where she and her son lived.

The vegetation is degraded, the grass is gone, the trees are dead, and it is really convenient to cut firewood.

It is lack of water.

Bai Yi now has to dig the well down another meter or two every day, the well is drying up too quickly.

Zheng Xue also said to Bai Yi: "Water is more expensive than food."

"The land outside cannot be cultivated. You can only find the soil that was indoors before, the kind that has not touched the land."

"Potting soil, or the soil paved on the concrete floor in the park, this kind can be used, and it can be collected to grow something to eat."

Although it doesn't look like much, it is actually enough to collect all the crops in a city and cultivate them for hundreds of people.

But the water is different. It doesn’t rain now, and the riverbed is dry. Even if there are a hundred wells drilled, not one of them will be able to produce water.

To have a well that can produce water is a great wealth.

Zheng Xue also said: "But now there are only three of us, and we can't exchange water for things, it's not safe!"

She has suffered enough from the dirty side of human nature, and feels that this is a paradise, but she also knows that the paradise for the three of them is not safe enough, and there are not enough people to create value. She will definitely sit back and eat, so she came up with a way.

"We can go to other cities to dig walls." Zheng Xue said in a low voice, "Those who are strong and strong can't dig them, we can dig some little girls and boys, and they can work, and they will be strong in less than two years. It’s a good deal to find someone who is strong and fit.”

"If the price is so high for those who are strong and strong, they will turn around and snatch us away."

Bai Yi thinks this is also a way - he needs people very much, without people, he will not be able to gain a reputation in this way, and he will not be able to attract Yan Ling.

But Bai Yi still felt that it was dangerous. He was fine alone, young, quick-moving, and fairly vigorous. No—he doesn’t know the way, and doesn’t know where the “city” is.

Now that the compass is out of order, Bai Yi knows the way to travel by looking at the astrology, but he just knows, he doesn't know.

Zheng Xue took out a map of the province from the interlayer of her clothes and handed it to Bai Yi: "The towns with red circles on them are all cities."

The nearest city has to walk for a day and a night.

When he left, Bai Yi left pickled mustard and dry biscuits for the mother and son. These are not easy to break, and the dry biscuits are very filling.

More than a dozen barrels of water have been pumped, and since Bai Yi is not around, the well is probably going to dry up again.

Zheng Xue and Haohao sent him off for a long way, and Zheng Xue also said: "If you haven't come back after five days, we will go find you."

Bai Yi quickly refused: "It's fine if you are alone, and you still have children with you. Don't take risks. If I haven't come back after you finish eating, you can go and find another place."

Bai Yi was on the road during the day, went to the space to sleep at night, got up after two hours of sleep and continued on the road.

Finally arrived at the nearest "city" on the morning of the third day.

The city is surrounded by mud walls. This is the "city wall". It is not a small project. It is probably because there is no cement and bricks in this town, so the mud is used.

There is also a wooden watchtower behind the city wall, and the people on it are patrolling left and right with binoculars.

Bai Yi waved his hand.

A clean-dressed young man with no holes or patches came out of the city alone. No matter how he looked at it, there was a conspiracy. The guards dared not let him in, so they shouted at him at the door: "Who are you? What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Bai Yi: "I came from the city ahead, and I came to exchange things with you."

Although it is the end of the day, there are still commodity transactions. Some cities are short of water, some are short of food, and some are short of daily necessities.

And he didn't bring anything, so he looked a lot like a striker.

"Wait! Let me ask!" The defenders of the city hurriedly sent people to find the city owner.

However, Bai Yi felt that the name of the city lord sounded loud, and he might as well be called the mayor, which was more down-to-earth.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the city gate finally opened. In fact, it is an anti-theft door that opens on both sides. If anyone has good unlocking skills, this door will be useless, so someone needs to be watching 24 hours a day.

The one who came out to pick him up was a young man, good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, not tall, but with a good temperament.

"My surname is He." The young man introduced himself, and Bai Yi also introduced himself.

The city is actually still a town, but it has been cleaned. The concrete floor of the streets is covered with soil, which is probably transported from big cities. Most people are farming, and others are probably doing handiwork in the house, such as weaving some bamboo baskets and straw sandals. , and make some backpack clothes or something.

Bai Yi looked around and felt that the city was quite good.

"What's in your city?" He Qing asked him.

Bai Yi: "There are seeds, fertilizer, and cotton wool."

He Qing asked again: "Is there any water?"

Bai Yi shook his head: "Not much, not enough for myself."

He Qing sighed: "We all need fertilizer, seeds and cotton wool."

Now there are more and more people in the city, and they all come here with their families. If you take one, you have to take a bunch. If there are enough resources, then the hands can become labor force. The more people, the better the healthy development, but the resources are not enough. ah!

The strong laborers can't get enough to eat, and those who are weak can only eat something like bean dregs cakes, and their health will be poor.

The virtuous circle did not enter, but the vicious circle did.

But if he was asked to drive people out, he had a disturbed conscience and couldn't do it.

He Qing was originally a little idol, and at the end of the day, he took his family and wanted to go to the countryside. As a result, his fans—I have to say how powerful the fans are, even dragged their families and their mouths to chase him one by one. Follow the stars to the end.

He was timid at first, but pushed by a group of fans who believed in him so much, he could only lead them to find this deserted town and build a city.

Fortunately, there are quite a few young men among his fans - the ghost knows why they follow him, he was worried about the chastity of his ass at the beginning, but he has accumulated some experience after working with fear all the way.

At least not pestered.

He Qing asked: "Your city is not big, can you still accept people?"

It was impossible for Boyi to admit that there were only three people in his city, and there was no city wall or arable land, so he said shamelessly: "It can be harvested, but not much."

He Qing was overjoyed: "Then I'll send someone to go back with you to investigate."

If he wants to send people away, he must see the destination, and he can't let people go there and live worse than here.

Bai Yi felt that he had met a real holy father, and he admired him very much: "Then I'll go back and say something first, and I'll come back when the other side agrees."

He Qing nodded: "It should."

In fact, he has never dealt with the outside city, and he doesn't know much about it, but if he is going to someone else's territory, he should say hello in advance.

This He Qing really doesn't care much, probably because he is well protected by the fans.

I just hope he is a fool.

It would be too miserable if good people were not rewarded.

So Bai Yi reminded: "Mr. He should be more vigilant and careful when he sees strangers in the future."

He Qing sighed: "We are too short of things."

If there is no shortage of things, he doesn't want to communicate with the outside world, the outside world is too chaotic, and he doesn't have any thermal | weapons here, so it is very difficult to protect himself, but in order for the people in the city to survive, he must deal with the outside world.

The more Bai Yi listened, the more he admired him.

He couldn't do it anyway.

He Qing also arranged a room for Bai Yi, in the original hotel in the town, it was cleaned fairly clean, and there were bedding, but there was little water, so he only poured a small glass of water for him, and it was estimated that two or three mouthfuls would be gone. But he was served with water, and baked potatoes were brought to him in the evening, which was considered a very high standard of courtesy.

Just as Bai Yi was about to go to bed and get up early tomorrow to start his journey, there was a sudden commotion outside, with shouts, shouts, and hurried footsteps.

Bai Yi hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out, grabbed someone on the street and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The person caught by him was a girl with tears on her face, holding a sickle tightly in her hand, and said to him: "Someone is coming outside, they have guns!"

The girl wiped her tears: "We are going to the gate of the city, if they force their way in, we will fight."

The girl also said: "If you don't go to the gate of the city, go to the bell tower. The old people and children are inside. If you go to the gate of the city with us, you can find a weapon that is handy."

It is probably not the first time this kind of thing has happened to the girl. The girl gritted her teeth and said, "I won't run away! I ran for several cities and finally settled down. Even if I die, I won't run away!"

Bai Yi was taken aback, the girl had already run towards the gate of the city, and behind her were many young people, both men and women, with various weapons in their hands, including sickles, axes, hammers and sticks.

It's not that they don't know that these things are invincible in front of guns.

I just don't want to run away.

It's more courage than despair.

Bai Yi thought for a while and sighed. If he was the old him, he would definitely not care about it. He hid in his own space and came out after the matter was over.

When he sees other people suffering, he will say pity, but he has no empathy and can't empathize.

Just like when humans look at the animal world, if a tiger eats an antelope, it will not be substituted for the antelope. They think the tiger is hateful and the antelope is pitiful.

But now, he seemed to be feeling a little bit more.

He will think of Zhang Li, if Zhang Li is also a member of this group of young people, what will happen to him?

It seems that I am actually a good person in my bones.

Bai Yi thought calmly.

Then he climbed up the watchtower and took out the night vision binoculars.

There are indeed many people outside the city wall, all of them are middle-aged men, none of them are old, weak, sick or disabled. They are wearing camouflage uniforms and thick-soled boots, and they all hold guns in their hands. Going to rush in.

While Bai Yi was observing carefully, someone among these people suddenly raised his head and looked in his direction.

The two looked at each other across the night sky, but Bai Yi could see each other's eyes, and the other could only see a figure on the watchtower.

Bai Yi took out another loudspeaker—he didn't have the time to distinguish the high-tech speakers, so he could only look for ones that knew their uses and were easy to use.

He shouted: "We are a guest from afar, what does the guest want?"

But the other party didn't have a loudspeaker, so he couldn't hear what he said, so he said, "I'll come out and talk to you."

Anyway, he has space, so he can't die.

At this time, Bai Yi suddenly felt that the task system was not too bad for him. After all, if there was no space, he would probably have to find a city to stay, farming every day to earn a living, his stomach was not full, and he probably didn’t have the energy to find it. people.

He didn’t go through the city gate either—no one would open the door for him, so he could only climb down along the wall with a rope tied around his waist. When he landed, he threw the rope and the rope fell down. Impossible Climb back as it is.

Although there are no lights, but there is moonlight, it is still bright, and you can see the road and people's shadows clearly.

Bai Yi walked towards the group of people.

More than a dozen guns were aimed at him.

Bo Yi raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender. The smile on his face looked very sinister in the dark. He didn't realize it, and stopped ten meters away from the group of people.

"What do you want?" Bai Yi restrained his smile, with a serious expression.

He is tall, with a thin but beautiful body, with smooth muscles in his arms, and he doesn't lose his shape due to hunger.

At first glance, he is in good hands.

He waited for a few minutes before they finally answered. Bai Yi only saw the person standing in the middle raised his arms, and the others put down their guns. The person was wearing a pair of camouflage trousers and a black vest. He has short black hair and looks a bit like Bai Yi, but taller.

It was far away, and it was night again, and Bai Yi couldn't see the other party's face clearly.

Then he heard the other party's hoarse, deep, magnetic, and very sexy voice.

"I want food, water, and salt." The other party was very rude.

Although there were more than 200 people in the city, they couldn't compare with the dozen or so strong men with guns in a real fight.

Bai Yi nodded: "I'll ask."

So he went to the city gate and said to the people inside through the door, "They want food, water and salt."

People inside yelled: "No! Let them go!"

If you send these three things out now, you will really have to be trapped in the city and wait to die.

They had just planted a batch of potatoes, and they thought they would have a better life this year, and it was absolutely impossible to hand them over to others.

Bai Yi sighed: "You guys discuss it again, and get back to me after the discussion."

The inside is silent, and it is estimated that the discussion has gone.

In fact, it's hard to make up my mind if it's Bai Yi.

Yes, it may be fine for the time being, but it may be something.

And as long as you give it, the other party will know that this city is easy to bully, and if you have anything to ask them for, what should they do?

If you don't give it, the other party can rush in now, and it will be even worse when the time comes.

In fact, now it is for them to choose whether to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, or to cut directly.

"Brother Yan, why are you so troublesome? Just rush in and grab it." The strong man scratched his back and said in a rough voice, "Why do you listen to this little boy?"

Bai Yi suddenly walked over quickly and asked, "Surname Yan? Yan Ling?"

He is just trying his luck. Although there are not many people with the surname Yan, there are also many, but he can lead so many people, and they are all middle-aged men...

Yan Ling looked at Bai Yi, his brows were slightly frowned, obviously he didn't remember knowing such a person, he picked up the gun again, pointed the gun at Bai Yi's head: "It's me."

Bai Yi: "..."

This reunion scene is not touching at all.

He could only raise his hand again, and said with a smile, "My surname is Bai, and I used to go to the same school as you."

This obviously failed to fool Yan Ling, and Yan Ling's black eyes were fixed on him.

Bai Yi asked in a timely manner: "Are you hungry? Do you want instant noodles?"

The strong men swallowed in unison.

Because of the lack of water, the food is eaten dry. Don’t even think about rice. It is basically roasted or stuffed in the ashes of the fire.

But even if you eat it dry, instant noodles are delicious.

Yan Ling put down the gun, and he approached Bai Yi step by step.

Bai Yi saw the black tattoo on the opponent's right arm, but he couldn't see what the tattoo was, he could only see a large piece of black claws.

His arm was covered with scars, including knife wounds and gunshot wounds, which also left indelible marks after healing.

Bai Yi kept smiling, but felt uncomfortable in his heart—if he arrived at the beginning of the end, would he be able to protect the other party all the time?

The other party's parents and friends will not die, they can find a place to live in peace, Bai Yi has space, and can create a paradise for him.

"Where did you get the supplies?" Yan Ling pressed the muzzle of his gun against Bai Yi's forehead.

Bai Yi: "I have my own way, which has nothing to do with the cities behind. If you let them go, I will give you all."

What he said was so righteous that Bai Yi was almost moved by himself.

Yan Ling looked at him indifferently.

Bai Yi kept smiling.

Yan Ling said to the people behind: "Take care of him."

After saying this, two strong men came out from behind, one on the left and one on the right, supporting Bai Yi's shoulders.

It's a pity that Boyi is taller than them, and in such a fight, it looks like two strong men are hugging his arms.

Everyone: "..."

"It doesn't seem right..."

"It's a little strange."

They didn't understand what was so strange about it.

These people all brought tents, and soon set up camp nearby. Bai Yi's hands were stretched out, and his wrists were tied. Fortunately, his feet were not tied, otherwise he could only move like a caterpillar.

A group of big men surrounded him, looking at him as if they were looking at a piece of fatty meat.

In front of him was a folding chair for fishing. Yan Lingzheng sat on it with his legs spread apart, looking down at Bai Yi.

"What about the supplies?" Yan Ling took out a dagger and raised Bai Yi's chin with the back of the knife. His face was expressionless, like a cold-blooded habitual criminal, "You probably can't afford the price of lying to me."

Bai Yi shrank back with fear on his face, and praised his acting skills from the bottom of his heart.

"It's all in the town ahead, I can't run around with supplies."

"Brother Yan, there must be his accomplices there."

"Maybe it's to lure us into the bait."

"He is not afraid of us holding a gun. There must be something more powerful."

"Maybe they all have bulletproof vests."

Bai Yi: "..."

Anyway, I have learned to talk about civilization and establish a new style before. How come when the end comes, everyone becomes a supporter of conspiracy theories?

How can he lie to others?
