Infinite Disaster Survival

Chapter 199 Chapter 199 (1/2)

The closer we get to the city, the more people we meet on the way. Many teams are refugees. Most of those who can get here are not ordinary refugees.

Either they are merchants with guards, or they are like Fengnan Village, or they are all refugees. There are many people and they are not easy to mess with.

This makes the group of people from Fengnan Village less conspicuous.

Before noon when the sun is at its peak and when it is late at night, the teams on the road will find a place to rest on their own.

The merchants and the refugees tacitly divide themselves into two groups. They don't provoke each other when they are on the road. Even if they need help, they only talk to similar teams.

It's just that when choosing a resting place, everyone defaults to the rule of first come first served, but there are always people who are dissatisfied because they can't find a suitable place. Some people will take out silver and wait for a good discussion, but there are also people who will play some tricks, which will inevitably cause some conflicts.

This is the situation today. The sun is at its peak at noon, and all the shaded places suitable for rest nearby have been occupied. The team that came from behind did not want to move forward and could only find someone to "discuss".

There are more than 20 people in this team, dressed in rags and thin, but 20 of them are adult men, and the rest are women who are even thinner and silent with their heads down, but there are no old people or children.

After seeing the composition of the team, Wen Zheng was alert at the first time. It was not that he wanted to think too badly of people, but he had experienced too many disasters and had seen how evil humans could be.

The leader was planning to find a soft persimmon to bully, and his eyes were sweeping around, but at this time he met Wen Zheng's eyes.

Obviously, he was not afraid of anything along the way, and there were many brothers around him, but the moment he was stared at by this gaze, it was like facing a ferocious beast, and it was like facing a high-ranking official in the past. His body was stiff and unable to move, and he couldn't find his consciousness for a long time.

"Brother, there are too many people in this group, it's a bit difficult to start, brother?" The brothers around him saw the leader staring at the place where the people from Fengnan Village were, and asked in a low voice.

"So what if there are too many people? With so many old people and children, they dare not fight with us." Another person said, his eyes became presumptuous.

"No! We can't fight with them!" The leader woke up and began to refute subconsciously.

The people of Fengnan Village also noticed the eyes staring at them. They never took the initiative to cause trouble along the way, but they were not bullied.

All the men, children in their teens, and women who thought they were not inferior to men in Fengnan Village all stood up and picked up a sharpened bamboo pole from the car.

If they were really forced into a corner, they would also hurt people.

The momentum of so many people holding weapons was not small. Those who had spoken harshly before on the opposite side retreated a little, not to mention the leader who was paid extra attention by Wen Zheng.

They directly changed the direction of their gaze and looked for softer persimmons.

Just now, they retreated in front of the people of Fengnan Village. The deterrent power of this team was no longer so great. Every team they targeted stood up to express their refusal. In the end, after a long struggle, they continued to move forward for a while.

Except for Wen Zheng, the elderly and some guards who had traveled all over the country were well-informed and noticed something strange.

Most of the teams present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them leave.

The vigilant people returned to their positions and relaxed.

The people of Fengnan Village silently gnawed the dry food in their hands. Since there were more people on the road, they never dared to eat too good food, and they were reluctant to eat it.

The tribe leader waved his hand and called Wen Zheng and Yang Hunter over to ask them what they thought about what happened in Jiao today.

"I think those people will not give up easily. We still have to be more careful next time. It's best to take turns on duty at night." Wen Zheng said, and Yang Hunter nodded beside him.

In the past, the big guys didn't keep watch very often. They were tired from traveling all day, and there were many of them. The strong laborers protected the old and weak inside, so no one dared to attack them.

Now it's not necessarily the case.

Worried, they finally arranged six young people in three groups every night to take turns to keep watch at night, and they could take turns to rest in the car when traveling during the day.

When arranging the order for them to keep watch, they referred to Wen Zheng's opinions and the tribe leader's own considerations. There must be a more careful person in every two teams of people keeping watch.

Tonight is the first night. The people keeping watch endured the fatigue and tried to keep their eyes open. They were afraid that they would fall asleep and pull up the hay on the roadside and weave ropes casually.

When the moon rose to a similar position, they woke up the two people who were responsible for keeping watch.

Three days passed like this, and there was no trouble at night.

Originally, I noticed that Fengnan Village arranged people to keep watch. I had encountered that group of people before, and the team that had been on the same road later also took turns to keep watch.

It's just that the person who arranged this matter didn't have much prestige. After two days of keeping watch at night and traveling during the day, some people started to complain, and then the night watch was abandoned.

Wen Zheng and his team insisted on keeping watch for a little longer.

Two days later, when they found a place to stop and rest in the evening, Wen Zheng habitually went to a high place to observe the surrounding environment, and many villagers followed him.

At first, Yang the hunter followed, and later some people were curious and learned that every time the two of them were exploring, Wen Zheng would explain what he noticed and what he inferred based on these details. Every time they listened, they could suddenly understand.

At first, some villagers thought Yang the hunter was exaggerating, but later they followed Wen Zheng once and really felt that they had opened their minds.

Later, more and more people followed Wen Zheng.

From the initial teaching guidance, it has now become checking homework and correcting. After Wen Zheng took people to a high place, he let them observe the surroundings and talk about what they noticed.

The sun sets, but the world in front of him is still so bright.

"The edges of the weeds are yellow, and the trees are not energetic. They must be short of water. There is no water source around."

"There are bursts of smoke in the distance. There may be a village."

"..."

"The weeds in that corner are lying down, like traces of being trampled by people, and in the past two days."

"Where is it?"

"That corner is so hidden, it's hard for you to see it."

"Look at the mosquitoes there. There are so many. I think this hidden corner is used... I guess he was anxious and wanted to go over to solve it before he saw it."

Accompanied by the laughter of the smart people, Wen Zheng felt something was wrong and stepped in that direction.

The people behind dared to joke with each other, but they dared not joke with Wen Zheng these days. When they were hesitating whether to follow him, they saw Wen Zheng waving his hand and hurriedly followed him.

Wen Zheng stopped before reaching the place where flies and insects were flying. The others looked forward following Wen Zheng's gaze and found that the color of a clump of weeds was a little different.

After careful identification, it can be seen that the dark brown on the weeds is not caused by disease, but dyed.

This color makes people feel uneasy. Some people took the initiative to step forward. Some people scratched it with their fingernails and saw that the dark brown layer turned into powder and fell off. When asked again, their faces changed instantly.

"Brother Zheng?" Someone looked at Wen Zheng and slowly calmed down after seeing his calm expression.

In the past, people in the village followed their parents to call Wen Zheng's nickname Dashan, and only those who were lower in generation than Wen Zheng would call him uncle.

But during these days of fleeing, even if Wen Zheng had concealed something, what he showed was enough to convince them. He was not like the way he only knew how to read before, so they changed their words naturally.

"There is no one around now, let's go back first." Wen Zheng said, carefully avoiding the hay on the ground and leaving without leaving any traces.

Before he brought people to check, he made sure that there were no other people around and that his ears did not catch any wrong sounds. He made sure that he would not alert the enemy before taking action.

After returning home, no matter what he thought in his heart, he tried not to show it on his face, so as not to worry the old man and his wife.

Some of them did not cover up well enough and could not hide from the eyes of several elders. The chief immediately called Wen Zheng to inquire about the situation.

Wen Zheng spoke slowly, and then comforted: "Just now I made sure that no one was around. If there are thieves here to harm us victims, they will definitely act at night. Those who keep watch should be more alert."

In addition to arranging people to keep watch, people who need to solve physiological problems must be in groups of several people, holding weapons, and men need to wait far away.

The victims had no money or even food. If they really killed people in secret, it would either be a conflict or a loss of humanity.

Many people could not sleep peacefully that night. Even if they could not bear the fatigue of their bodies and fell asleep, they were soon awakened by nightmares. The people in charge of night watch did not even weave straw ropes. They would just check if there was any movement.

Wen Zheng was assigned to watch the night recently. He was the first batch of guards. When Yang the hunter came to take over, he did not go back to rest, but went to check the original place.

In addition to the bloodstains on the grass leaves and the land, Wen Zheng followed the traces of the weeds and judged that there were several traces of walking, which were opposite to the main road.

He followed the traces and saw scattered bones. The face was still rotten. It was only a poor woman.

When the sun rose, the villagers who did not sleep well last night yawned while dazed that nothing happened last night, and were teased by people who did not know the truth.

They kept their mouths shut and didn't say the reason, but because of lack of sleep, they couldn't all rest in the car, which slowed down their journey, so they found a place to rest in advance at night.

After dinner, the people in charge of night watch kept watch, and the others hurried to sleep, especially the few who were very sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.

Until someone shouted, they immediately jumped up from the ground, picked up their weapons as quickly as possible, and rushed to the location where the sound came from.

Wen Zheng quickly stopped them, whispered the names of ten people, and the rest stayed, so that everyone didn't run away in a swarm.

Wen Zheng ran very fast in front, but didn't make much noise.

When he arrived, he saw several figures carrying a few people who didn't know whether to live or die, and his nose smelled the smell of blood, so he immediately threw the sharpened bamboo pole in his hand as a javelin.

The bamboo pole flew away, and the tip pierced into the flesh like an arrow.

The figures were attacked, and they threw the people in their hands to the ground. They were ferocious, and they didn't feel guilty about being hit, so they rushed over with weapons in their hands.

The distance between the two sides was shortened, and under the moonlight, they found that they had seen faces before, that is, the group of people who wanted to rob the place before and there were no old people or children in the team.

There were more bloodshot in the other party's eyes, which looked like red eyes, and the expression was crazy, as if they were crazy, and the people in Fengnan Village couldn't help but step back a few steps.

Wen Zheng didn't retreat at all, and there was another bamboo pole in his hand, shouting: "They eat people, so they are no longer human."

There were several people on the other side, and more than a dozen people on Wen Zheng's side. Yang the hunter kept shooting arrows. Wen Zheng attacked in the front and secretly helped other villagers. In the end, he knocked down several people. The remaining few saw this and fled. Wen Zheng stopped them from chasing.

After a fight, a villager was so excited that he found out that he had really killed someone. He dropped the bamboo pole in his hand and fell to the ground. He couldn't stop retching, but he was reluctant to vomit the food in his stomach.

Wen Zheng didn't have time to comfort them. He went to check one by one. Two of the murderers who failed to escape were not dead, but they were injured and had no ability to escape.

He put the sharpened part of the bamboo pole in front of the injured murderer and forced him to ask what he had done these days.

This group of people can be said to have gone crazy a long time ago. Under Wen Zheng's questioning, they told everything.

As refugees, they were not as lucky as the people in Fengnan Village. They hid in the mountains early and moved most of the supplies.

Before the flood came, they found that only more than 40 people in the village escaped, but they were left with only their lives, and the rest were washed away by the flood.

The biggest feeling on the way to escape was hunger. There was really no way out without food. They wanted to steal and rob at first, but they couldn't win, and several people were beaten to death.

Finally, they set their sights on human flesh. First, they killed the dead who had just died not long ago, and then they became living people. After they were full and strong, they set their sights on the rest of the victims again.

The team that stayed nearby tonight was Wen Zheng and others, and the other was a wealthy businessman with guards. They were lying in ambush here looking for an opportunity to attack. The wealthy businessman happened to be going to the bathroom at night, so he asked the guards to drive to the nearby area.

They launched an attack as soon as they made up their minds. Two guards were ambushed, and they were outnumbered and solved by them, but they couldn't stop them, so the guards cried for help.

After hearing these words, the few people who vomited stopped vomiting. They just felt that they had killed them well, and such people should not continue to live.

They gave them a clean kill, and they felt that it was cheap for them.

The murderer was completely dead, but Wen Zheng discovered that there was another sound. He went over to see that the wealthy businessman who was attacked by the murderer was still breathing.
