The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 204

Under Huda Ridge, Shuigou Village, the sun sets.

With a knife on his waist, Meng Hai stood on the wall of the village, looking at the wheat fields in the distance.

When he first arrived in Shuigou Village, he was turned away by the villagers and put on strict guard against them.

But later, after Meng Hai and his party went outside the village to help the villagers resist the besieging zombies, the villagers' attitude towards them changed.

So they were allowed to stay for a few days, and they were given the food they needed most.

Although Shuigou Village survived, after Meng Hai learned about the actual situation in the village, he knew that if he could not make changes, the village would eventually perish.

This is also the reason why Meng Hai drove all the way from Chengde, and he encountered so many villages along the way without stopping, because these villages could not last long.

Although the same is true for Shuigou Village, the unique topography here gave Meng Hai hope.

The water network around the village is densely covered, and the creeks and rivers are winding, which can be used to isolate zombies.

So Meng Hai found the elders of Shuigou Village, explained the situation to them, and expressed his plan to deal with it.

Meng Hai promised to help clear Shuigou Village to remove the zombies, but he had only one condition, the village agreed to resettle his followers.

This deal was very profitable, so several clan elders were finally persuaded by Meng Hai.

Ever since, Meng Hai gathered all the young men and trained them to fight against zombies.

But their confrontation is not about fighting zombies head-on, which is really too difficult for these villagers.

Even though people like Meng Hai had the experience of killing zombies, it was an ability that exploded when they were in a favorable situation and in a desperate situation.

But to take the initiative to kill zombies, the difficulty can be said to increase sharply.

So Meng Hai used some tricks, such as using sound to attract zombies and lead them into pre-set traps.

After more than a month of busy work, there was not a single zombie within a radius of two miles of Shuigou Village.

And the wheat outside the village is also harvesting.

Just as Meng Hai was thinking about the future, Zhang Yang appeared behind him.

"With such a large piece of land, we will be able to live here, and the days of fleeing for our lives will finally come to an end!" Zhang Yang said with satisfaction.

Meng Hai turned around and said calmly: "Yeah, at last my big brother didn't do it for nothing, I found a place for you to live!"

After saying this, Meng Hai turned around and looked outside, and the young man who had gone out of the village to harvest wheat had already returned.

"And it's time for me to continue on my way!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Brother... you want to go?"

Meng Hai smiled and said, "All this time, I never said I would stay!"

"Why are you bothering? Yuanyang must have fallen, and you have escaped death. Wouldn't you like to live well here?" Zhang Yang's tone was urgent, and there was a trace of sullenness in his voice.

"Go and see!" Meng Hai still laughed.

"Brother, along the way, many brothers have died. We all depend on you to survive. You can't leave the brothers behind!"

Since he couldn't be persuaded, Zhang Yang simply used brotherhood to trap Meng Hai.

"The monsters here have been emptied, you will not be in danger here!"

"But……"

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me!"

Meng Hai's eyes were firm, and Zhang Yang knew that it would be useless to try again.

"Brother, if Yuanyang falls, you should come back as soon as possible!"

After getting off the fence, Meng Hai told the other brothers that he was leaving.

He thought that the brothers no longer wanted to take risks, and no one would still be willing to follow him, but Ma Shan expressed his willingness to accompany him.

"Come with me to Yuanyang, you don't want your wife and children?" Meng Hai asked in surprise.

Ma Shan wiped the sweat off his face, and replied: "They are safe here, and there are other brothers to take care of them, so everything will be fine...I don't worry if you go alone!"

Although Ma Shan was just a butcher, Meng Hai was moved by his words, and the phrase "every righteousness kills more dogs" came to mind.

"Don't get too hot-headed, hurry back!" Meng Hai pushed out the door.

"You go and I go!"

After saying this, Ma Shan turned around and left, left in deep thought.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the house saying: "Brother Meng, my father invites you to dinner!"

Meng Hai looked outside. The person who came was the son of the elder of the Shuigou Village clan. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a young patriarch.

"I harvested the food today, and my father said that it is thanks to you that I have today, so I want to thank you!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Meng Hai replied.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, he informed him that he was leaving.

………………

Two days later, Meng Hai stood by the river outside Shuigou Village, surrounded by people who came to see him off.

Talk more, and the rest of the people will come up to say goodbye.

"Brother Meng, take care all the way!" Zhang Yang said solemnly.

In addition to the people he brought, the clan elders and villagers of Shuigou Village also came to see him off at this moment.

"Brother Meng, do you really have to go?"

Even though they have already arrived here, the elders of Shuigou Village still tried to persuade them to stay. They need this kind of young people with "leadership".

At this time of year, young people like Meng Hai are needed to lead the villagers to live.

"Clan elder, I still want to go to Yuanyang to have a look. If Yuanyang falls, I will come back!"

Several old men nodded, and then stopped

"Okay, okay, don't cry... there's nothing to cry, I'm not dead yet!" Ma Shan reprimanded with a straight face.

Then he turned to his eight-year-old son and said, "Son, listen to your mother and don't run around!"

While talking here, Meng Hai had already bid farewell to everyone on the other side, boarded the bamboo raft and left with support.

Fortunately, Ma Shan's eyes were sharp enough. When he found out, he rushed over and jumped onto the bamboo raft.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Ma Shan asked with anger on his face.

Meng Hai didn't answer, but just sighed, he really didn't want Ma Shan to accompany him, who knows what will happen next.

"Brother, I know you are afraid that something will happen to me, but we are going by water, what do you think can happen?"

"From this river to the east for more than ten miles, we can enter the Bahe River, and follow the Bahe River directly to the outside of Yuanyang City. This small bamboo raft can swim in the quiet city moat... What do you think is scary?"

In fact, it is true, but this is under smooth conditions, who knows if there will be accidents on the road.

So Meng Hai didn't want Ma Shan to take risks together, not to mention that he had a wife and children.

"Don't talk too much, since you're all here, help punting!"

Looking at the slow-moving bamboo raft, Meng Hai was not satisfied with the speed at all.

After entering the Bahe River, they will sail against the current, and the speed will only be slower then.

The river outside Shuigou Village becomes wider as it goes forward, and there are many zombies scattered along the bank. They are chasing Meng Hai's bamboo raft along the bank.

Perhaps it was the instinct of the zombies, they were just chasing after the shore, no matter how Meng Hai made noises, none of them were attracted to jump into the river.

At noon the next day, their bamboo raft sailed out of a tributary and entered the wider Bahe River.
