Chapter 411. 411. Make a decision

At this time, more than a dozen families in Zhaogouzi were staying in the cellars of their houses, unaware that someone had already made plans for them.

"Brother, this is it."

The group stopped at the entrance of Zhaogouzi Village and looked at the dozen or so adobe houses under the moonlight.

"My brother stayed on guard for half an hour last night. There was indeed movement in these houses, which means someone..."

The speaker's voice was hoarse, he licked his dry and cracked lips, swallowed the pitiful spit, and there was a hungry look in his eyes.

"Let's go." The man called Big Brother nodded, took the lead in pulling up the car and moving forward, with a terrifying light in his eyes.

I hope I can gain more tonight.

A group of dozens of people quickly approached the village. There was no need to take any suitable cover, because the next movement was enough to alarm the people around them. All they had to do was go fast enough.

Dozens of people were divided into four groups and headed towards several houses.

Even if the door was tightly closed and solid, how could it withstand the strength of a dozen men? It was quickly kicked open, and then there were the sounds of struggling and fighting, as well as low, hoarse and weak cries.

"Come on, help me, the bad guys are coming..."

The men in every family were struggling to resist, but how could they be the opponents of a dozen people? They were quickly knocked to the ground, and almost all the water that could be seen in the cellar was robbed.

Several women saw their men being knocked to the ground and unable to get the water back home. They stumbled around the village and patted the doors of every house. Unfortunately, no one opened the door or came out to help.

That night, except for seven or eight households that held the door tightly to prevent anyone from entering, all the remaining households were robbed. If not for lack of time, these households would not have been able to escape the bad luck of being robbed.

Two of the families struggled so hard that two people died, and everyone in the family was also seriously injured. However, it was only because they persisted in resisting that all the water in the house was not robbed, which was the only little consolation.

As for the other families whose resistance was not so fierce, everything was gone on the bright side anyway. Looking at the mess in the house, there were only cries.

Even though he was too thirsty to make much sound, he could still faintly hear the cry, which was especially permeable in the night. It also made the people who were lucky enough to escape tremble all over. They didn't know how many days they could escape.

"Oh my God! I can't live."

"Don't cry, you will attract those villains again..."

A faint voice came from a room.

After being frightened, they tried to find ways to hide the little water left. I have to say that people who survived the extreme cold were really strong in their hearts. They complained about others and quickly calmed down after venting their anger.

They all thought of ways to hide the water at home. Since they couldn't get rid of it, they tried to hide as much water as possible.

Almost all the small amounts left on the surface are put into jars, sealed in bamboo tubes, and buried underground. If you can't hide it, just throw it away. After all, it's useless to keep the water when your life is almost gone.

There are also those who want to go to other places for help, and the first thing that comes to mind is Wangjiacun, which is not far from them.

Wangjia Village is one of the few unity villages in the surrounding area. There are not many families with different surnames in the village. The most important thing is that there are many people. Even though most people in Wangjia Village have experienced the extreme cold, they have survived.

But the two villages were several miles apart. Even if they went to the local people, why would they help them? In the end, this idea just passed by and was unrealistic.

It's better to unite together like Wangjia Village and still have some survival.

That night in Zhaogouzi Village, both those who were lucky enough to escape and those who were robbed, all realized the importance of unity. Will the group of people who have tasted the sweetness stop?

No, of course not.

There were dozens of them in the group. Although they grabbed a cart full of water and took it back, the share among dozens of families was not much.

Although it is enough for them to persist for a while, it is scary!

The fear of extreme heat, like extreme cold, has been with us for over a year.

Although they are not really evil people, they have to stop doing evil for their families and children, and they just want to survive.

The next night, without the need for Zhaogouzi Village to ask for help, the men from Wangjia Village who came to find out the news about the dead people in the village who had been robbed of water had already learned about it.

Unfortunately, Wangjia Village does not accept outsiders, and there is no place to accept them. Each customer has limited houses, and the space in the cellar and dug holes is even more limited. It is impossible to give them out to others. Even if there is space, it is impossible to let strangers live in one's house. Home.

Of course, if they have the ability to find a place to survive within Wangjiacun without occupying Wangjiacun's resources, they can turn a blind eye as long as it does not affect Wangjiacun.

Looking at the hopeful people in Zhaogouzi Village, the men in Wangjia Village could only shake their heads and leave quickly.

Although the Wangjiacun people left, the words they left behind touched many people and started discussing with their families.

Instead of living here in fear, it would be better to actually move to Wangjiacun.

Although he doesn't have a house, he can simply build a wooden hut and shack, and he spends most of his time in a hole in the ground.

And these take time, especially the cave for a family to survive. With their current physical strength, it is indeed very time-consuming.

In this way, the surviving families in Zhaogouzi Village almost unanimously agreed that one or two people from each family went to Wangjiacun again with their belongings not long after they left Wangjiacun.

Unless they come back, the door of the house is tightly locked, and all the useful things in the house are blocked behind the windows and doors. Not only that, except for the vents, they are hidden in the cellar or hole. They are also tightly locked. The exit is blocked.

After arriving at Wangjiacun, I immediately visited the village chief. The prerequisite for getting the same answer was to fight with the enemy when encountering danger, otherwise Wangjiacun would fall out at any time.

How could the people of Zhaogouzi disagree? There are too few people in their village, and they are a target in the eyes of others. At least it is much safer here, and they have also seen that there are villagers patrolling Wangjia Village, and even the villagers The man's state is not comparable to theirs.

For no other reason than for their own family, they will cherish this opportunity and race against time to work. After all, they don't have much time, and the time they can work is only half an hour.

However, you can dig a hole in the ground first, rest when you can't bear it, and then continue after you regain your strength. You can try to build a wooden house or shack within two days.

As for materials, Wangjia Village has no shortage of them. There are forests in front of and behind the village. Many trees were washed down during floods. Now, the extreme heat has caused some trees to die completely.

It was a safe night in Wangjiacun.

What they didn't know was that at midnight, a group of people saw a man patrolling Wangjiacun from a distance and escaped quietly.

We then went to Zhaogouzi Village again, but this time we didn't have the good luck of yesterday. The doors and windows of every house in Zhaogouzi Village were already well prepared, and all the doors and windows were tightly blocked. In the end, they left with nothing but curses.

It's not that they haven't thought about using extreme measures, but they will also face no harvest. At this time, nothing is more important than water and cannot be wasted. The gain is not worth the loss. There will always be a way to stay.
