In the event of a zombie outbreak, villages and towns that can survive will have walls to rely on.
This is the case in Wujiabao, Sujiazhuang, and Shuigou Village at the foot of Hudaling.
Two young men on sentry duty came to the village gate and chatted for a few words with their friends guarding the wall. Then the village gate slowly opened.
After entering the gate, the door was closed the next moment, and the two of them quickly walked towards the center of the village.
There were originally more than 500 villagers in their ditch, but after taking in villagers from several nearby villages, the number directly exceeded 800.
Therefore, the village seemed crowded, and you could see along the way that some people had randomly set up a shed under a tree, turning it into a temporary residence.
In the center of the village is the ancestral hall. In the courtyard outside the ancestral hall, seven old men are sitting in their respective places, discussing important matters in the village.
Among these seven people, five are local elders in Shuigou Village, and the other two are representatives of the refugees.
"It's June now, and in two months...the wheat outside the village will be ripe, and we have to find a way to harvest the food!"
"The food in the village, including porridge and wild vegetables every day, is only enough to last three to five months. It's impossible not to harvest the food outside the village!"
"Fortunately, these monsters only appeared in May, when the green seedlings had grown...otherwise, we would have had to sit back and wait to die!"
Then several people talked to each other and discussed the distribution of grain harvesting tasks.
Although this will happen two months later, it must be discussed in advance because the interests involved in this matter are huge.
Going out of the village to collect grain is extremely dangerous, and no one would go out willingly.
After a lot of wrangling, the seven old men finally reached an agreement, but some were happy and others were sad.
But no matter what, as long as this matter is settled, all we need to do is commit to its implementation.
"Sigh... We can still harvest food once this year. What will happen after this year?"
When they heard this question, everyone's relaxed mood immediately became heavy again.
Even if we harvest the food this time, it will only last for a year, and we will still face food shortages later on.
"Under the current circumstances, can we continue to grow food?"
"You have to find a way, otherwise you will still starve to death!"
This problem is very serious. It is a very complicated thing to continue to grow food, which is much more difficult than simply harvesting.
"Clan elder, is the clan elder here?"
The shouts coming from outside attracted the attention of several old men.
"What's up?"
"Elder of the clan, we just found someone on the mountain, a living person!"
Hearing this, the old man sitting in the middle couldn't help but murmured: "A living person? It seems that he is someone who is fleeing again!"
"I know, just tell the sentries to be more alert!"
But at this time, the two men on guard outside shouted again: "Elders, these people are not ordinary people. They are all brave and extraordinary. Be careful!"
"Extraordinary bravery? How brave?" asked a clan elder.
So the two people outside told them exactly what they had just seen.
After listening, the old men in the ancestral hall were all shocked.
After some discussion, someone ordered: "Quickly notify the young people in the clan and ask them to pick up the guys and put them on the wall!"
People like Meng Hai are indeed too powerful. People like this make people feel insecure and defensive.
When the two people outside heard the order, they immediately went to the village to inform people.
On the other side, on Hudal Ridge, Meng Hai and his party also started to hurry.
The group of people walked down the ridge and sneaked on the mountain road, keeping a high degree of vigilance.
It was easy for them to discover that there was a village on the plain ahead, and it seemed that there were still people living there.
Of course, zombies can still be seen outside the village, but the density is very low.
As long as you pay attention to hiding your whereabouts, getting close to the village is not too difficult.
Everyone was extremely happy. As long as there was a village, they could rest and replenish themselves, and the whole person could achieve complete relaxation from body to mind.
After all, they were not locals and were not familiar with the surrounding environment of Shuigou Village, so their traveling speed became extremely slow.
Fortunately, the surrounding wheat seedlings were luxuriant, which gave them a hiding place and they were able to approach the village smoothly.
"What a wonderful wheat, it won't be long before we harvest it!" Mashan couldn't help but sigh.
So at this moment, he directly gathered a handful of wheat seedlings and put them in his arms.
After about half an hour, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the village and saw many young people standing on the wall of the village.
The villagers all held homemade weapons, and their attitude was already very obvious, but Meng Hai still decided to communicate.
I saw him crossing the stream and arriving three feet away from the wall.
"Fellow folks, we came here to escape. Monsters are rampant outside. Please give us shelter for a few days... Thank you very much!"
At this moment, several old men appeared on the city wall, who were the elders of Shuigou Village.
"Young students, life is not easy for anyone these days. There is no food left in the village. You go!"
Except for those who initially took in refugees from nearby villages, and those who fled later, Shuigou Village never took in outsiders.
"Uncle... don't worry, we are not begging for food, we just need you to take me in for two days!"
"Our place is too small to accommodate you!"
The other party's attitude was clear that they didn't want to help, and Meng Hai had no other option at this moment.
"Since we are not allowed to live in the village, we can always live outside the village!" Meng Hai continued to shout.
There is a stream outside the village, which can be isolated from the outside world and is safer than other places.
There are only two bridges where zombies can come over. As long as you send people to keep an eye on them, you can ensure safety.
Everyone said they lived outside the village, and the people on the wall couldn't say anything else. After all, they couldn't go out and drive people away.
After hearing what the young men on sentry duty in the village said, and the fact that Meng Hai and his party were able to move around in the wild, it was easy for the elders to assess the strength of the group in front of them.
"Monsters are invading outside the village, please take care of yourself!"
Next, Meng Hai asked his people to cross the river, and everyone settled down with their backs against the wall.
As time passed, I saw Meng Hai and others starting to rest outside the wall. The young people in Shuigou Village on the wall also slowly lowered their guard.
"Brother Meng, why don't we..." Mashan made a killing gesture.
There is food, drink and shelter inside, which is a very big temptation for people who have been on the run.
Meng Hai glanced at the young man on the wall, and immediately shook his head and said: "Don't be ridiculous, if we really fight, both sides will suffer losses!"
Although their side has a strong fighting capacity, due to the superior number of people in the village, Meng Hai's side has no advantage at all.
Soon the night gradually fell, and people on Meng Hai's side fell asleep one after another whether they wanted to or not.
Because everyone understands that only by maintaining sufficient energy can we survive, so we must sleep well.
But they didn't know that there were two old men on the wall watching their actions.
