ps: Thanks to "The Withering of Peak Leaf" for the tip.

The village containment work is undoubtedly a very important event for the survivors.

In order to reward everyone for their hard work over the past week, Wei Yang and Lao Zhao specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for the survivors.

The first phase of the task was now over. During the dinner, Lao Xu drew up the second phase program for everyone.

Of course, the main topic still revolves around the security construction of the station.

First, the construction of the observation tower is related to whether the enemy can be defeated first, so it must be captured as soon as possible.

Secondly, the construction of stone walls is also particularly important.

After all, the current containment of giant deer and horses is more about prevention. If they are attacked by a large group of corpses, they will have to rely on stone walls to stop them.

Finally, there is the issue of accommodation for everyone, although the houses for survivors are currently being screened.

However, because the village is so backward, even the houses that have been screened have more or less damaged doors and windows.

In the past, this might not have been a big deal. A sleeping bag and an extra quilt would have been enough to survive the entire cold winter.

But the problem is that these are the end of the world, and you have to consider safety in everything.

If a zombie breaks into a house where even the doors and windows are not secure in the middle of the night, the consequences will be disastrous.

Mr. Xu can't ask each house to arrange a single person to keep vigil every day from now on. If this continues, what quality of life will there be?

So next, Lao Xu not only needs to repair the damaged doors and windows of each house, but also install necessary protective fences. To truly achieve "both internal and external repairs", let the team members live in the village completely and peacefully. .

Naturally, the survivors had no objections to Lao Xu's mission planning.

What they have in abundance now is time, and it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to have something to do.

This may seem absurd, after all, normal people always hope not to work and to live as they please.

However, in the end of the world, when all this really comes true, you will miss the past days very much. You will long for the busyness of your previous work, because the boredom and tedium of the end of the world are unimaginable to you.

After dinner, Quanquan Xin and others, who had nothing to do, clamored to play some card games as usual.

Since starting the "village containment" project, they have turned the card game into a gambling game.

Gambling funds are also very simple and practical. The loser has to massage the legs and feet of the winner.

This "battle" finally ended with the victory of Wenquan Xin and Wang Zhongyu.

After the card game was over, everyone went back to their rooms. After a brief tidying up, they went to bed.

Soon, the secluded village that had been noisy all day became quiet. Only the snoring coming from the house from time to time showed a hint of popularity.

Tang Xiaoquan still volunteered to guard the first shift. He lay bored by the window, his eyes distracted.

In such a quiet night, people's thoughts are always very complicated, and missing home is always an inconvenient topic.

Tang Xiaoquan subconsciously took out the note pad from his pocket, and carefully took out the old pornographic photos inside. The faces of his parents when they were young on them made Tang Xiaoquan filled with emotion.

Thinking of Yao Ruyi's confession words before, Tang Xiaoquan couldn't help but feel his heartstrings tighten.

Dad, mom, sister, where are you? Are you okay now?

No one could answer Tang Xiaoquan's question, and just when Tang Xiaoquan was feeling sad, something suddenly rubbed and dragged his soles.

Tang Xiaoquan subconsciously lowered his eyebrows and glanced, and realized that the person dragging his trouser leg was not a bystander, but the puppy "Coal Ball".

Tang Xiaoquan held "briquettes" tightly in his arms and stroked the little guy's hair.

After more than two months of growth, the briquette at this time was much larger than when the survivors found it.

"Why are you homesick too, Briquettes?" Tang Xiaoquan murmured sadly.

Who would have thought that Briquettes would struggle so hard, which made Tang Xiaoquan greatly shocked.

What's going on? Although Coal Ball is indeed wary of strangers, Tang Xiaoquan is definitely not one of them.

Although Mei Qiang's feelings for him are not as strong as Wang Qiang's, they are not so disrespectful.

Tang Xiaoquan stroked the briquette hair again, trying to calm it down in this way.

But today, Briquettes seemed determined not to let Tang Xiaoquan's sister go. His whole body was moving around, desperately trying to get out of Tang Xiaoquan's arms.

In desperation, Tang Xiaoquan had no choice but to give up. He leaned down and put the briquettes down on the ground.

What I'm thinking is, if you don't want to play with me, then I won't force you.

But instead of leaving on its own after the briquettes landed, they continued to harass Tang Xiaoquan. They bumped, jumped, scratched, and scratched. In short, they refused to let Tang Xiaoquan calm down.

Anyone else might have been impatient and angry, but Tang Xiaoquan was a thoughtful person. Coal Ball's abnormal behavior aroused its suspicion.

There is no doubt that Wang Qiang has been affected by his mood these days. Coal Balls is always by his side.

To put it harshly, the two of them walked together even when they were peeing and peeing.

But now, Mei Qiang suddenly left Wang Qiang and ran outside the house, "playing" with himself extremely anxiously.

This thing itself is very strange!!

Think back to the details that Huabiao once told me: Dogs are very sensitive animals, and they can often detect things that humans cannot. And when a dog shows abnormal behavior and emotions, it is very likely that it is telling you of danger.

is approaching.

Could it be that... there is something wrong with the village!?

Tang Xiaoquan's heart sank. He reached out to put away the photos on the table, and then stood up.

Sure enough, with Tang Xiaoquan's body together, Qiu Qiu happily ran out of the house.

It seems like there’s something really going on outside the house!!

Tang Xiaoquan touched the machete on the corner of the table and raised his hand to signal the little coal ball to be quiet.

After being carefully trained by Huabiao, Coal Ball immediately lay down obediently after seeing the movements of Tang Xiaoquan's hands, but his eyes were still staring in the direction of the door.

If this person really sneaks into the corpse group in the middle of the night, then considering the current condition of his house, it would be a fool's errand to stop him.

Tang Xiaoquan walked slowly to the door with an uneasy feeling. He listened quietly for a while, but as a result... except for the howling north wind, there was no other sound at all.

Could it be that the briquettes were mistaken?

This is not impossible. After all, animals also have emotions. If Bao Qi briquettes were infected by Wang Qiang's emotions, he might lose control.

Tang Xiaoquan was really nervous now, but based on the principle of safety first, he still touched the window and opened the curtain a small crack.

Inside the village, it was pitch black, and the howling north wind made the dilapidated houses make a "pop" sound. The whole scene looked like a gathering place for ghosts and monsters in a horror movie.

Tang Xiaoquan glanced around and felt his heart relax. Nothing unusual was found in the place he glanced at. Everything was safe.

It seemed that something was wrong with the coal briquettes. After completing the investigation, Tang Xiaoquan slowly lowered the curtain and prepared to return to the bench to continue his thoughts.
Chapter completed!
