Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile
Chapter 83 The Beast Herd Attacks
Su Yun used to think that Li Mei was a top student, hardworking and motivated, with a good job, and her husband also worked in the system, the kind of person that everyone envied. But now when she saw Li Mei, she always felt that there was poison in her eyes, and when she looked at her, she wanted to eat her alive. She told her family to be careful of Quan Ge and Li Mei next door, because they didn't look like honest people.
Su's father and mother nodded. They knew about Brother Quan's glorious deeds. He had been in jail, taken drugs, often got into fights, and his business was not very legitimate.
Su Zhangming also told Zhang Lili about Brother Quan's past dark history. Zhang Lili was an elementary school teacher before the natural disaster. Her living and working environment were very simple. She had never met such bad people in society. Alarm bells were ringing in her heart. She would always keep an eye on the movements next door in the future.
After a while, the two brothers Qin Guo and Qin Song drove a van and parked on the opposite side. They went in with a few suitcases and never came out again. It seemed that four people lived together.
Su Zhangming looked at the familiar figure and felt a sense of loss. He had already learned about the two people's experience from Tan Chuang. When the flood came, there were only two of them left, and all their supplies were washed away by the flood. They met Brother Quan when they were desperate, and he gave them a glimmer of hope. So now the two of them are willing to follow Brother Quan's orders, and Su Zhangming began to understand.
The rushes on the driveway at the door had all been made into straw mats and hats, leaving only some discarded dry grass scattered on the road. Father Su and Grandfather used homemade bamboo brooms to sweep the road, and the muddy road soon raised dust all over the sky. The two of them quickly swept the road while resisting the urge to cough.
Su Yun originally wanted to go down by himself, but was stopped by Su's father. It was so hard to find something they could do, and he was reluctant to let Su Yun take it away.
Su Yun would do physical exercises with the children every afternoon, and his life was more comfortable than Su's father's. This was the benefit of being reborn.
Half a month later, the sunrise and sunset finally returned to normal. Thanks to the support of the excavator, Liang Cancan's road repair work went smoothly and more than half of it has been completed.
The construction of the base's wall was also progressing at a rapid pace. Li Yimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was naturally very surprised at the current speed.
Just when everyone was getting used to the repair work, bad news came. The repair team outside was attacked by a group of beasts coming down the mountain while they were resting at night, and hundreds of people were killed or injured.
The group of wild beasts included wolves, pythons, and tigers. It was impossible for these beasts to appear at the same time, but it seemed as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. They attacked together when it was dark and everyone was asleep. They looked extremely hungry, and they directly bit and ate the sleeping people. Everyone who was bitten was in a horrible state, and even their heads were bitten clean.
The crowd fled in all directions and had no strength to resist. Liang Cancan and his men emptied their magazines before they scared off the beasts.
When daybreak came, the scene was in a mess. There were so many people with broken arms and legs, and many died from excessive blood loss. Liang Cancan couldn't even count their names and numbers. The repair team was terrified and refused to sleep in the wilderness, clamoring to return to the base. Liang Cancan had no choice but to organize people to carry the surviving wounded onto the car, and the rest of the people hurried back to the base on their own.
The repair team was terrified, fearing that the beasts would attack again after dark, so many people ran towards the base without waiting for Liang Cancan's order.
A group of people ran to the gate of the base before dark. The guards at the East Gate saw people rushing back and asked a few people before they realized that they had been attacked.
When Li Yimin heard the news, he quickly sent Xiao Bin to pick up Liang Cancan. Liang Cancan was at the end of the team. He felt sorry for the people who lost their lives and also regretted the driveway leading to the outside. The mission would be completed only ten kilometers away, and by then the base would not have to worry about supplies.
Soon the news that the beasts had come down the mountain to eat people spread throughout the base. Many people looked at their dilapidated homes and finally realized why the base commander had to build a wall. This was to ensure the personal safety of most of them. Some of the smart ones found sturdy boards to stabilize their houses overnight.
The Flying Dragon Team also gathered together tonight. Wang Jie analyzed the news he got in the afternoon. The first to be attacked was the repair team 90 kilometers away. There could not be only one group of beasts. He felt that the base would soon face new challenges. This time it was a fight for blood and flesh. If they won, everyone would have meat to eat, but if they lost, everyone would become a meal on the plate. Most of the houses in the west area were strong and could hold out for a while, but the other sheds that were slightly worse were not so lucky. Those houses would probably be broken down by a single hit from a tiger.
The final conclusion is that everyone should reinforce their houses, take care of every corner, build walls more carefully, and prepare some lethal weapons. The Su family is not short of those, they have pepper spray and machetes, as well as pistols and rifles, but they have to resist, and they should not use these alternative things unless it is absolutely necessary.
Lan's father suggested that the trees outside were growing well, so they could be cut down and made into wooden spikes and spears.
Wang Jie thought it was a good idea and had to implement it in the base in Dali. After all, no one had even a decent kitchen knife, and other iron products and weapons were even fewer.
The young grandfather said: Let's build some fences, at least to keep out some animals with smaller attack powers. We also need to add some wooden boards to reinforce the outside of the house. Don't be reluctant to spend points. There is probably still a lot of stock in the base now, and it won't be easy to replace it later.
Everyone agreed, so the next day, the Flying Dragon Team went to build the wall as usual. This time they were not so relaxed, and the entire construction team was much more motivated. Even the instructor couldn't help but urge Su Zhangming to work faster and faster.
The excavator dug a protective ditch two meters deep and three meters wide, but it was obviously unable to stop the beasts. Xiao Bin led the team to throw dry grass into the protective ditch overnight, so that if an animal fell in, it could be set on fire.
Lan's father also took a leave of absence and took the women of the Flying Dragon Team out to cut branches. Branches that were too thin would break easily. Branches as thick as wrists were best. The front should be sharpened and the back should be wrapped with cloth to prevent slipping.
Su Yunxiqi had already made a plan. The big machetes in the space would be sold on credit to each family. Everyone's safety was the most important thing, and no one could stop thinking about it.
Su Yun was carving wood all day long, while Su's father and Su's aunt were drilling holes outside the house with chisels, waiting for the people inside to finish carving so that they could make a new fence.
Every household was busy, and those who were watching nearby followed suit and spontaneously cut down trees and reinforced their houses.
In the evening, the Flying Dragon Team exchanged seventy or eighty old door panels at the exchange center of the base. The colors were all the same as the door panels of the previous Lingyun community, and they were quite sturdy.
The next day, they made a fence as usual. They used door panels to surround the house and strung them together with the straw ropes made by Lan's father. In this way, a weird house appeared, with thatched roof and door panels, stone walls and basement with door panels, and the upper layer was a clay mixed with hay structure. The outer fence was also varied and strange in shapes. Su Yun took a look at the fence and thought, okay, it's better than nothing.
On the third night, before the wounded who had been transported back were fully treated, the base was attacked by a group of beasts. Tigers, leopards, pythons, and wolves all attacked the south gate at the same time.
It was the first time that the soldier guarding the gate encountered such a situation. The iron gate of the south gate was easily crossed by the wolves. The gatekeeper locked himself in the sentry box. There was a circle of hungry wolves surrounding him outside. He sounded the alarm with trembling hands, and the whole base was filled with deafening howling sounds.
It was the first time that Su Yun heard such a loud alarm. He woke up from his bed in the middle of the night and quickly opened his social circle. There were only two posts on the social circle posting photos of the South Gate being attacked by a group of beasts.
Su Yun was no longer calm. Looking at the photos, there must be five or six hundred of them. A dense group of them was wandering around the south gate. Some of them entered the base and ran directly to the shantytown following the scent.
Because of the beast incident these days, everyone had been on guard and didn't dare to sleep soundly. This time, everyone was completely awakened. The timid ones immediately locked themselves in a relatively closed space, praying that the wild beasts wouldn't find them.
The braver ones climbed to the top of the ruins, took out their weapons, and prepared to duel with the beasts.
Brother Dao was one of them. He led thirty brothers and climbed to the highest point of a ruin with weapons. There was only stairs leading up to the place, and behind them was the ground six stories high. They stuck to the broken walls and used the geographical advantage to prepare to hunt these beasts.
As the saying goes, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. Brother Dao’s move is truly courageous.
Su Yun also took out 10 machetes from the space, and Wang Jie gave one to each family. He also gave one to his cousin who lived alone.
They will join the fight tonight too.
