Chapter 14, Winter Has Arrived

In the evening, the convoy traveling along the country road arrived at a small village.

Unexpectedly, the outskirts of the village were surrounded by a tall fence, with sharp wooden stakes protruding from the fence, and several struggling zombies hung on them.

Si Xu, who was playing with Jiang's dyed hair, suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "Stop!"

Song Rong stepped on the brake reflexively.

Gu Yunqing first used the walkie-talkie to contact the convoy behind, then turned around and asked Si Xu: "What's wrong?"

"There's something on the ground." Si Xu patted Jiang Ran's shoulder, put the sleepy girl on the seat, opened the door and got out of the car.

Gu Yunqing followed him to get out of the car, walked two steps forward, and saw the roadblocks lying across the road—the rows of sharp and small nails buried in the soil stood upright, inconspicuous, but it was a big trouble for the convoy.

Si Xu squinted his eyes and looked around, then said calmly, "Speak, there are people watching us from the observation deck over there."

"Oh?" Gu Yunqing raised his eyebrows, and shouted according to his words, "We are a team from Xiling Base, we passed by here on the way back, and I hope everyone can make it easier!"

Gu Yunqing's voice was heard far away in Night Breeze, and soon, the other party responded.

A small gate was opened on one side of the tall fence fence, allowing only one person to enter and exit. Several men came out from the inside and stopped a few steps away.

"Brother, excuse me, we just want to pass here, I wonder if you can remove these things temporarily." Gu Yunqing smiled politely, "If you find it troublesome, our team can do it ourselves, and we will promise to help you recover after the team passes by. As is."

"You... come from Xiling Base?" The man standing at the front was wrapped in a thick padded jacket and had a cigarette in his mouth. He glanced at Si Xu and Gu Yunqing, and then at the convoy behind them, "Those are all Supplies?"

Understanding the meaning of the man's words, Gu Yunqing said with a smile, "If you need anything, you can tell me. If our team has some, it's not impossible to exchange them for tolls."

"As a toll?" There was unconcealable greed in the man's eyes, "I can do whatever I want?"

Gu Yunqing smiled slightly: "That's what we have to do."

"Oh, then..." The man was thinking of trying to cheat some passers-by when he saw the door of the off-road vehicle open, and the young girl got out of the car and stood by the door quietly looking in their direction .

It's...beautiful!The man's eyes widened involuntarily, wanting to see more clearly: beautiful is second, cleanliness is the main thing.

After occupying this village and establishing a base, there are many women around him, but those women are always sad, or dirty and thin, unlike the one in front of him, who is clean and spotless.

Isn't it a supernatural person, got out of the car, is it a toy of one of these two men?Or, is it shared by the team?

Sensing his gaze, Si Xu turned his head and waved to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran hesitated and walked to him.

What's the situation now?In the novel, didn't the convoy return to the Xiling base without incident?Why did something inexplicable suddenly appear?

Could it be that because of her arrival, something has changed?
As the girl approached, the greed in the man's eyes became more obvious: "If you really want to exchange, how about exchanging with this woman?"

Gu Yunqing thought he heard it wrong: "Huh?" This guy, don't want women for supplies?Is it crazy to be short of women?

"Her," the man pointed at Jiang Ran with revealing eyes, "give this woman to me, and I'll let you go there."

Hey?Hearing this, Jiang Ran was startled: Si Xu called her here specifically, didn't he want to use her in exchange?This kind of thing is not impossible, after all, she can't figure out Si Xu's thoughts at all...

Thinking of this, she reflexively grabbed Si Xu's hand and looked up at him.

Some cold soft fingers tightly wrapped around his, Si Xu looked at her in surprise, just looking into the girl's wet eyes.

disturbed?

He froze for a moment, thinking that she was frightened by the ugly things opposite, so he held her hand back, and pulled her behind him as if to comfort him, blocking the man's gaze.

"That's it." Gu Yunqing said helplessly, "If this is the case, then there may be no need to talk about it."

He and Si Xu looked at each other and turned to leave.

Passing through this village is a shortcut, but it does not mean that it must be here.

They can get around here without causing much trouble.

It's not that you can't go directly, but in the last days, it's not easy for everyone to survive, so there's no need to cut off other people's lives.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the man hurriedly said, "It's not because of her."

Gu Yunqing stopped.

"Well, it's not easy for everyone in this kind of world. What supplies do you have, leave some as a passing money, and I'll let you go." The man glanced at Jiang Ran, looked at Gu Yunqing, and smiled boldly, "It's also night It’s not convenient for you to travel at night, why don’t you stay overnight before leaving?”

When the other party gave in, Gu Yunqing stepped down: "If you don't bother me, that's exactly what we mean."

"Why bother, we'll live on this." The man pointed out something, and explained a few words to the people around him, and the man immediately ran to the village.

"My name is Lei Tang, and I am the current person in charge of this small base." The man introduced himself.

Gu Yunqing shook hands with the man very familiarly: "My name is Gu Yunqing."

Si Xu had no expression on his face: "Si Xu." He didn't mean to introduce Jiang Ran.

While talking, the man running errands went back and forth, lifted several stone slabs and threw them on the nails.

"It's okay, boss."

Gu Yunqing called the convoy into the village, but Si Xu didn't get in the car, and led Jiang Ran into the village on foot behind Lei Tang.

The village is very quiet, only a few houses have light.Hearing the movement, some people looked out from the window, and some people came out from the gate to greet Lei Tang.

Jiang Ran followed Si Xu closely, trying not to look left and right, but wherever he looked, he always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Unlike the brick and tile houses on the outskirts of the village, Lei Tang took them to stop in front of a small western-style building.

"This is my residence, and this is where our base receives guests."

Speaking of this, Lei Tang took a special look at Jiang Ran, trying to see something in the woman's eyes, but the girl just lowered her eyes and didn't look at him at all.

After setting up the convoy and leaving people to watch the night, Gu Yunqing brought the rest of the team over.

"Hey, this villa is very beautiful." Gu Yunqing praised without hesitation, "It seems that I can sleep well tonight, thank you Brother Lei for the hospitality!"

"Where is it?" Lei Tang said modestly, and his eyes were full of color, "Everyone is a guest, please come in."

Gu Yunqing and Si Xu exchanged glances, followed Lei Tang into the room.

Si Xu didn't move, so Jiang Ran naturally didn't move either.

When passing by Jiang Ran, Zhou Jian glanced at her and snorted heavily to show his disgust.

Jiang Ran: "..." She is no longer in Luo Rui's team, why does this woman still dislike her so much?It's really inexplicable.

Everyone in the team went in, Jiang Ran looked inside and asked, "Aren't we going in?"

"I'm tired after driving all day." Si Xu put his arms around her waist, "Walk with me."

There are no lighting facilities in the village, and when the sky is completely dark, it is almost invisible.

A gust of wind passed, and something cold fell on his cheeks and melted into water.

Jiang Ran opened his eyes wide and reached out to catch a falling snowflake.

"It's snowing." She murmured, the disaster broke out in midsummer, and now half a year has passed, and the first snow in winter has ushered in.

Winter has come.

I don't know how many zombies will die after one winter?How many people will die?
