The last emperor

Chapter 116 The cruel world

The old men took a hot bath and changed their clothes. They stood in front of the construction site at the head of the village, looking at the progress of the project, all of them full of energy. At this time, they agreed a hundred times to the demolition of the house.

One after another expressed their opinions on the matter of building the fence, and Lei Zhengtang listened humbly and respectfully, which was rare.

Seeing Zhang Jin approaching, an old man said with a smile: "The village chief is here, you really are the village chief!" He said and raised his thumb.

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "The old man praised it, Zhang Jin just tried to lead everyone to save themselves better."

"Hey, what are you talking about? You don't know what you're talking about in the mountains, but only when you go back to the village to see how capable you are. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and you don't feel the bleak scene of the end at all." Lei Xingfa He smiled appreciatively.

"That's right, look at the group of youngsters who only knew how to farm and study in the past, but now they are patrolling, sentrying or training, just like regular soldiers. The leadership ability of Lei Wuye may not be comparable to yours when he was young." Lei Jihua also praised It can be seen that he and Lei Wuye are not much different in age, and they seem to be prudent in doing things. He was Lei Wuye's right-hand man back then, and he was considered a prestigious elder in the Lei family.

He boasted like this, and everyone nodded their heads.

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "With the trust and support of all the elders, Zhang Jin must do his best to build the Black Dragon Castle better. I heard that the elders want to go far?"

Lei Jihua nodded and said: "We rely on you to eat and drink in the mountains. We can't do much when we are old, and we don't want to cause more trouble. Now we just come out and want to see what the world has become. What should we do after living a lifetime?" We still have to see what we see, don’t worry that we can’t bear it, with your juniors here, we also have the confidence to survive until the end of the disaster.”

All the old people nodded, they all had the same meaning, and wanted to see zombies and the like.

Zhang Jin thought for a while and said: "Since everyone wants to see it, I will arrange it."

Lei Zheng said: "Do you want me to lead the team to protect it, and go to the front line of defense to see if it's okay."

Zhang Jin said: "Chen Lie should be back from patrolling, I'll let him come over, you continue to bring people to help repair the project."

Lei Zheng nodded, and continued to work with a shovel. There are sentries around, and he is always helping if there is no emergency.

Zhang Jin called the sentinel in the distance to inquire about the situation, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he called Chen Lie, and asked Chen Lie to go back and get two binoculars.

After Chen Lie led the team over, Zhang Jin said, "We'll go west. If we can't walk, we'll take a break. There are too many people and we can't drive everyone out."

"It's okay, it's fine for us to walk a few miles with our old bones." Lei Jihua said with a cheerful smile.

Chen Lie asked Zhang Hu's team to open the way ahead, and he led the team to stay behind and walk slowly with the old people.

Lei Jihua looked at Chen Lie and said, "This is Instructor Chen. He is in good spirits. It seems that his illness has completely recovered."

Chen Lie nodded with a smile.

"The group of kids admired Instructor Chen very much, and they all clamored to grow up quickly and learn from Instructor Chen to learn from Wudang fighters to kill zombies. Seeing them now, they really look like warriors." An old man boasted .

"That's right, my grandson asked me to find Instructor Chen one day to let him become a soldier. My grandson is eighteen. Do you think it's okay for Instructor Chen? He's got you right," said the old man of the Zhang family.

Chen Lie smiled and said: "The village chief decided to withdraw troops. Now there are enough troops, and the village chief has ordered that those under [-] will not be accepted for the time being. After all, we still have a lot of big men, so we can't let children take risks. .”

"That's right, I told my grandson that way, but this little bastard just doesn't listen and insists on becoming a soldier." The old man laughed.

Chen Lie looked at Zhang Jin. It was difficult for him to talk to people he didn't know well, and he was a crowd of old people who praised him so much, he didn't know how to respond.

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "Uncle, engineering is the main focus now. When Instructor Chen is free, I will let him go into the mountains to train those children. They will not go to the battlefield but they can train. When they grow up, we need them to contribute. They also have the corresponding strength to go, it will be much safer."

"Okay, the village chief has spoken. This group of boys will be happy to hear that instructor Chen is going to train in person." The old man nodded in satisfaction. He is very satisfied with Zhang Jin's handling method. There are a lot of people, and those who are too small should be given room to grow.

After walking a few hundred meters, there were already a lot of zombie corpses in the field. The old people stopped and watched, their smiles gradually disappeared, and they frowned.

Chen Lie asked Zhang Hu's team to walk down the dirt road and enter the fields, and opened a cordon of several tens of meters to explore the way. Although there were sentries in front, they had to be careful in everything. There is no resistance.

"Why did the world suddenly become like this? They are all good people. Why did the corpse wilderness become a monster that cannibalize people?" An old man said bitterly.

"Human beings must have done something too much. God punishes human beings like this. In this world, only human beings suffer such catastrophe. You see, the birds are still flying and the trees are still green." Lei Jihua lamented.

Everyone looked up and watched a flock of birds passing overhead, and then looked at everything in front of them, they all had the feeling of Lei's plan.

Zhang Jin picked up the binoculars and looked from the direction the bird came from. From a very far distance, he could faintly see thick smoke rising into the sky.

Chen Lie was alert: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Jin shook his head slightly and said, "It's far away from us, it's safe here."

Chen Lie breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to protect the old men.

"Should we take a rest and go back?" Zhang Jin asked. These old people had already walked two miles, and they were exhausted.

However, Lei Jihua stubbornly said: "I have come so far, I want to see how miserable this world is."

Seeing that all the old people had this intention, Zhang Jin had to continue walking. It would be good to reach the sentry point a few hundred meters away. There, Guangfeng Village could be seen through the telescope. This is probably what the old people wanted.

The corpses of zombies can be seen everywhere along the way, and the degree of decay is so severe that they can't recognize their original appearance. This makes Zhang Jin heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how strong a person is, it may be difficult for a person who was familiar with him to see them turn into this appearance one by one. accept.

"Village chief, gentlemen, Captain Chen." Sentinel Zhang Dashan hurriedly jumped off the only tree nearby when he saw the crowd coming.

"Is everything normal?" Zhang Jin asked.

Zhang Dashan nodded and said: "Smoke is rising from the northwest, estimated to be more than ten miles away, everything else is normal."

Zhang Jin handed the binoculars to Lei Jihua and said, "Second Master, just look here, it won't be safe any further away."

Lei Jihua nodded, and looked into the distance with a telescope. Although most of the crops were drought-stricken, they were still growing tenaciously, and corpses of zombies could always be found in the fallen places.

He moved the camera to Guangfeng Village, and found that it was as quiet as death, and there was no sign of any living people, and a mountain of corpses could be vaguely seen at the head of the village.

"What the hell happened in this world?!" Lei Jihua's hands were trembling with emotion, and he looked forward with red eyes. Without a telescope, he knew that Guangfeng Village was hell, and no one was alive.

All the old people took turns watching with binoculars, and most of them sighed silently after watching it, without saying a word. Only by seeing this scene with your own eyes can you understand how heartbreaking and desperate it is.

"Go back." Zhang Jin didn't say anything, and waited for the old men to rest for a while before guarding the return journey.

He knows that there is no need to say anything now. These old people have experienced many disasters. The current situation is more horrifying and cruel than the young people. Although he can't stand it in his heart, there is no doubt that this group of elders will no longer interfere with him as elders. The arrangement was arranged, and the scene in front of them was a heavy blow to these elderly people, who lost the last bit of arrogance of the elderly in their hearts.
