Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

"Okay, grab the fattest one."

Just as he was about to open the sheepfold and go in, Jiang Rong and the others held a gun to the back of his head.

"Stealing sheep?" Jiang Rong's tone was a little heavy, and seeing that he was about to pull the trigger, the other party directly knelt down.

"Don't, don't shoot. We were wrong. We escaped from the Jiaolin Base in Country E. We arrived here after walking for three and a half months. We found sheep here by accident. We were too hungry, so we wanted to borrow one. , don’t shoot, the brothers have something to say.”

"Are you from E country? How can you speak Mandarin?" Wan Tao stepped forward and pulled off the masks of several people, and found that five people looked like Chinese people, and there were two foreigners, one male and one female, and there were seven of them in total.

"No, we are international students studying in country e. After the apocalypse, we couldn't come back due to various reasons. Later, we entered the Jiaolin base in country e. But before the sea flooded back and the base was destroyed, we were washed away to other places. .”

Wan Tao asked Wu Pei to guard these people with a gun. He pulled Jiang Rong and Officer Song aside to discuss how to deal with these people.

"Let them leave, we must not take them in, especially if there are two foreigners inside."

If it is not a last resort, no one wants to kill people.

After discussing for a few minutes, Wan Tao asked them to pull them up from the ground.

"Go away and don't come near our yard, or we won't show mercy."

"We don't know where to go, uncle, there are only seven of us, can you take us in for a few days, the weather is too cold, and we have no food, I haven't eaten for two days."

Wan Tao looked at the young man who spoke, "Sorry, I can't take you in. Please leave quickly, or I will shoot you."

These seven people all had a big black backpack and two carts. How could they be incapable of escaping from country e to get here.

Seeing that Wan Tao was about to shoot, they all looked at each other and panicked.

"Don't shoot, we are not bad people, uncle, we are all compatriots, you are about the same age as my dad, do you really want to watch us starve to death? Otherwise, can you send us a sheep, we really I'm starving to death."

Wan Tao pointed to the mountain not far away, "The sheep were caught from the mountain. You can go to the mountain to have a look, but I can't give it to you. Please leave."

Although they were scared, they just didn't leave. At this moment, Jiang Rong suddenly fired a shot at the ground, and they squatted on the ground in fright.

"Let's leave, leave now."

They stumbled away, but Wan Tao frowned.

"I'm afraid they won't leave easily. Everyone should be more vigilant during this time."

Back in the courtyard, Ye Fu, Fang Wei and Wenwen sat by the firepit and waited for everyone.

"what happened?"

Qi Yuan briefly explained what happened just now, "It's quite surprising that we can meet living people. It should be the sheep's cry that attracted them here."

"You must never take in strangers." Fang Wei is very repulsive to strangers now.

"Seven young people can't starve to death even if they go hunting in the mountains. There must be yards in other places, but they come here to live here, and there are two foreigners. It's too dangerous."

Wan Tao nodded, "That's the reason. During this period of time, everyone should be careful not to leave the small courtyard alone, lest they ambush for revenge outside, and the sheep pen and the shed must be guarded."

"Do they have guns?"

"I don't know about this, but there are knives. Everyone has a knife hanging on their body."

This night, this group of strangers broke the peace and harmony of the courtyard, and when they returned to the cubicle, Ye Fu couldn't sleep.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Suddenly a group of strangers came, and I was always a little uncomfortable."

Jiang Rong patted her on the back, "I'll solve it."

"do not."

Ye Fu pressed his hand, "If they are just refugees, we don't need to hurt them."

"If they really have bad intentions, it's the same when they make a move."

The next day, Ye Fu went to the greenhouse to check the condition of the vegetables. The sleet had stopped, and it had been snowing for the past few days, and the temperature did not continue to drop.

Vegetables are growing well, adding firewood to the kang, Ye Fu checked it around, and went back to the courtyard.

In the afternoon, the group of people came again. They dragged two long-billed wild boars and stood outside the courtyard, intending to trade their prey for a house.

"We went all over the nearby villages, but there was no house to live in. Uncle, we are sincere. The two wild boars are not small, and I will give them to you. Can you take us in for a while, and we will settle our rations and give a shelter A place that is sheltered from the wind and rain will do.”

That man was very good at talking, Wan Tao looked at him for a long time.

"What's your name?"

"Wang Cheng, my family is in Fuyang City. These are my classmates. These two foreigners are also my friends. They are good people."

Wan Tao smiled, but still shook his head, "Our family doesn't have any extra houses. There are too many people, and they are all full. If you walk a few hours from Pinglin Village, you will arrive at the county seat. Why don't you go to the county seat and have a look."

Being rejected again, the smile on Wang Cheng's face paused, and the expressions of the people behind him were already very bad.

"Uncle, we really had nowhere to go to steal the sheep last night. Besides, we didn't succeed. We are all compatriots. In this difficult time, you can help us."

"I can't help you. In this way, I can give you some hot water and food. We don't have any. You also said that this is a difficult time. Although we are compatriots, there is nothing we can do."

Wan Tao asked Liu Zhang to bring over a pot of hot water. Wang Cheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by two foreigners behind him.

"I understand uncle's concerns. In that case, we will go to the county seat."

A few people dragged the wild boar away, Wan Tao and Liu Zhang looked at each other, and immediately went back to the kitchen.

"They might come over tonight."

Fang Ming was a little surprised, "Murder by robbery? They all saw that we have guns in our hands, so they dare to come?"

Wan Tao shook his head, "They came here just now. On the surface, they said they were borrowing, but in fact they came to find out how many people there are in our place, check the layout of the yard, and make it easier to move tonight. They should have guns."

Qi Yuan couldn't help swearing, "Just because you don't give them a place to come over and kill people, these people are really crazy. It's better to go to the county to find a place. There are seven adults in them, and none of them are old, weak, sick or disabled. .”

"Maybe it's because of these sheep and horses. To be honest, who can resist the temptation to come and rob them? If it were me, I would definitely be tempted to do so." Fang Wei felt that they would have such an idea. This idea is also normal.

At this time, someone ran into the yard, and everyone saw that it was a boy from the group just now.

"I have something to tell you. Those people just now are not my classmates. They are just Chinese people I met in Jiaolin Base. They are coming to kill you tonight. You must believe me."

Wan Tao's eyes turned sharp instantly, "You came here to inform me, what do you want?"

"I want a horse."
