Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 163 Forest Fire
Li Xin nodded, "Ah, yes, in fact, I should have done this a long time ago. I was too tolerant and pampered you at first, but life is hard now. Every day people like you live is a waste of food. It’s better to go underground, which can save a lot of food. After burying you, I still have time to organize everyone to plant the third crop of food. In case it’s not cold yet, we accidentally have a bumper harvest. Oh, yes, when the time comes I will definitely give you some sacrifices to taste the taste of the long-lost meal."

Liang Long stared fiercely at Li Xin with blood-red eyes. After several minutes, he loosened his teeth and nodded slowly, "We are reckless. From now on..."

Li Xin interrupted him, "There is no future, I really don't want to see you people now, either let us give you a ride, or you go by yourself, you choose."

As soon as Li Xin's words fell, the crowd on the opposite side immediately started to buzz and quarrel. Li Xin picked out her ears with her little finger, and she didn't need to guess what they were yelling about. meters, and then had a heated debate about whether to go or not to go.

After a while, Li Xin got impatient with waiting. He drew out his pistol and pointed it at the opposite side, then squinted one eye to aim, and then pulled the trigger.

boom!
The sudden gunshot stopped the quarrel, and then the pickaxe in the hand of a farmer on the opposite side fell. He looked up at the top of the pickaxe handle, and then dropped the pickaxe handle in his hand with a bang, rolling and crawling. Running back, the shout was like a switch, causing the people on Liang Long's side to riot instantly, those who were bold enough to hold the murder weapon wanted to rush over, and those who were timid threw the tool directly and crawled back Run, the scene got out of control.

No matter how much Liang Long dragged his neck and yelled, he couldn't control the situation. In the commotion, he was suddenly knocked on the shoulder, half of his body became stiff due to the pain, and his steps began to be messy. He directly bumped into the people behind him, and then collided with each other continuously. Liang Long was almost trampled under the feet of the crowd. Fortunately, he had an unusual status as the patriarch and usually had many followers, so he just squeezed in at this time. Saved him, then protected him and rushed out of the encirclement.

And those who wanted to rush over and desperately ran ten steps away only to find out that there were only so few of them. The courage just now was suddenly vented. They looked at each other and then threw away the murder weapon and turned around. He even ran faster than the people in front, but those people disappeared after a while.

Li Xin turned off the loudspeaker and handed it to the back, and then the little soldier from before stepped forward to take it. He paused for a while and said, "Chief, it's very unwise for you to do this. It's no good to anger these troublemakers."

Li Xin clicked his tongue, raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows, and then said disdainfully, "I was good enough before, but they didn't buy it. Today, I just wasted a few bullets and let them go to hell. It's a good deal."

The little soldier seemed to be choked when he heard it was cost-effective, and then showed a puzzled expression, "These unscrupulous people are likely to retaliate against the base after they calm down. gone?"

Li Xin sighed, turned to look at his guard, pointed to his chest, "It's comfortable, so it's a good deal."

Xiao Bing's brows were tightly knotted, and he frowned, "You can't always be so impulsive, what should you do in the future?"

Li Xin said indifferently, "Damn, I'm already tired of this place. I heard that Lao Qin's is very good. How about I move the base there?"

Xiao Bing was dumbfounded, with a dazed look on his face, and for a long time he said something in his heart, it's not good, and said, "I'm afraid Chief Qin will kill us."

Li Xin snorted, "How could it be? I heard that his building is very good and there is a serious shortage of people. How dare he not welcome me to take people there." After speaking, he didn't want to talk nonsense, turned around and took the troops back.

Holding the trumpet in his hand, Xiaobing stood there blankly looking at the backs of the large army, but roared angrily in his heart, "You brought hundreds of people there once, and you are still foodies without food. If Chief Qin can be happy, boss... ...The younger one will serve as a guard for Chief Qin!" It's a pity that thinking of Zhang Shuilai, Xiaobing was a little frustrated. He was no match for Zhang Shuilai when he was in the army. They are really about to leave, and when they return to the base, they have to remind the chief that he must send someone to inform Chief Qin in advance, otherwise the large group of them will pass by in a hurry. Wouldn't they have lost their way of life?

At this time, Qin Zhiyuan, who was presiding over the third autumn planting, had no idea that his base had already been missed by his buddies, and with Li Xin's personality, he was probably very willing to launch a surprise attack.

After New Year's Day, the weather began to get hotter and hotter, and the originally tepid high temperature began to become sharper. Even if people wear the simplest and coolest clothes to work every night, they will always find several blisters on their bodies after a day's work. At first people thought that the blisters were rubbed while working, but after careful consideration, they found that the blisters were on the shoulders, face, arms, legs, etc. that were exposed but not scratched, and then people realized in a daze, It turns out that the pain of these blisters is very similar to burns. Combined with the weather at this time, people are horrified to find that the blisters on the body are steamed by high temperature!

This is simply too strange, but unfortunately there is no thermometer now, and people cannot accurately know the exact temperature, and as the temperature rises, the crops in the indoor growing room begin to suffer, because there is almost no ventilation in the room, these vegetables are extremely fragile, Being roasted by such a high temperature, almost all of them will start to wilt within a day, and half of them will be roasted to death before night, and the other half may not survive tomorrow.

The vegetables in the indoor planting room have always been the last guarantee in the hearts of the people in the base. Now that their last guarantee is gone, the panic in people's hearts can be imagined. The temperature was so high that the seeds buried in the ground almost rotted before they germinated, and even the ones that germinated couldn't survive the high temperature and were eventually roasted to death.

Fortunately, the outdoor crops have been planted, and there are still so many stocks in the warehouse, people have not collapsed even though they are frustrated, and in order to prevent the outdoor crops from being roasted to death by the high temperature of the sun, people began to look for shades for the ground. The crops in the house are built with sunshades, and the crops are exposed to the sun only when the sun is not so strong in the morning and evening every day. The plants will be shaded in the rest of the time, and people sprinkle water all the time to cool down, so the outdoor crops The growth is pretty good.

In addition to the fact that the high temperature is harmful to the human body and animals and plants, people have not realized what kind of disaster they can bring, until noon that day, billowing smoke suddenly appeared from the back mountain, and the pungent smoke was directly blown by the wind When they entered the base, people discovered that there was a fire in the forest. When everyone found tools and rushed to the fire site with water or shovels, the fire was completely out of control. The fire was so powerful that people were desperate. People stood several meters The long distance is unbearable by the heat wave, let alone going forward to put out the fire. If the water source is sufficient before the end of the world, there are electric pumps, and the water pipes are long enough, such a fire can be extinguished, but now people can only stand there and do nothing. Watching the fire engulf everything within reach.

The animals in the forest, no matter they are fierce or docile, all fled out in a hurry at this time. Even if they encountered humans, they would ignore them and run away with all their strength. Those unlucky ones would be smoked by thick smoke, just wait for their fate. One can imagine.

The people were so shocked by the fire that they didn't even pay attention to the animals running past them until someone yelled and people came back to their souls, so those with buckets ran back to change tools with water in their hands, and those with shovels ran back to change tools. The people who were about to dig the ground to put out the fire started to greet those animals, and after a while, a group of people came up from the base and began to surround the panicked animals, and some of them shouted vigorously, "Catch alive!" , Grab the living ones, raise them up at that time, and eat them for a long time!"

In such an environment and atmosphere, people's tense nerves were finally amused by this sentence. Even Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help but stop and look at the president of the cooperative in amused manner. Unexpectedly, this person is really a fan of money. , even at this time, he still cares about the life and death of his prey, well, it seems that it is not accurate to say that he is a money fan, but Qin Zhiyuan blew a whistle indifferently, if it is not accurate, it is not accurate, anyway, that is what it means.

After besieging the prey for a long time, Qin Zhiyuan discovered a serious problem. It seems that the wind direction is threatening their base. Why is the fire burning more and more towards their base? However, although their base is close to the forest, no matter how close it is There is still a distance. Now these fires have basically burned to the edge of the forest, and there is no sign of weakening, and there are many weeds near the base. Although the weeds next to the wall have been eradicated, even if the fire Can't get in, the high temperature is enough for the crops inside the fence, he had to call a few people who haven't been dazed by the big hunting, and tell them to stop the fire, these people only did it after Qin Zhiyuan's reminder They found that the fire was headed towards the base. How could this work? They hurriedly called relatives and friends to pick up tools and start digging trenches, pouring water, and covering soil. Anyway, as long as they can cut off the fire, any method will do. Fortunately, the fire only came from one direction, and they didn't have to worry about the other two sides. Otherwise, when the fire burned down to the base, their fortifications hadn't been completed yet.
