the beginning of the end

A few days later, after consultations with the village chief Xia Xuan, the army leaders began to gather the men in the village to build a protective wall around the perimeter. During the meeting, Xia Xuan asked for a decision. Every family should send two strong men to help. Those who don't come from outside the village, and if there are no two men in a family, let the strongest woman help.

As long as you want to live in Bazi Village, you must participate in physical labor.Moreover, the establishment of the protective wall this time is for the common safety of everyone, and all the materials needed will be provided by the army.

The terrain of Bazi Village was originally a natural protective wall. This project is not a big one, mainly to block some gaps that are too conspicuous, leaving only one exit on the road for people to enter and exit.

Although the decision to do so ensured the current safety of the villagers in the village, relatively speaking, there were advantages and disadvantages. The protective wall could block the mutated animals on land, but it could not block the flocks of birds in the sky.

An exit road slows down the speed people need to escape if a swarm of mutated birds comes to attack the village.

During the meeting, some smart people naturally raised this objection, but Xia Xuanming was very transparent this time. He obviously came prepared. He was afraid of threats. Don’t be afraid. There are many supernatural beings in the army. To ensure everyone's safety.And the village didn't dig a tunnel, if the mutated birds attacked, everyone just hid in the tunnel.

In a few words, Xia Xuansheng easily blocked some people's questions.

Since then, there has been a hot wind of digging tunnels in Bazi Village.

But no one thought that if the animals with supernatural powers came, a protective wall and a tunnel could really stop these ferocious animals?

After Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo heard the news, they immediately understood one thing. The army might not leave Bazi Village anymore. The construction of the protective wall with such a lot of trouble is not just to build Bazi Village into a place that belongs exclusively to the army. small base.

After the meeting held this time, Shen Xi's family was very quiet for a long time, even the occasional strangers outside the house did not wander around, and there were relatively fewer people passing by.

After all, building a protective wall is the key, and it is natural that the army can't spare time to manage other things.

After the meeting, the heat of the weather did not decrease but increased, but the decision to build a protective wall was not delayed due to the heat. The army sent people to the periphery to look at the environment outside the village, and quickly determined which geographical location needed construction. , and sent some soldiers to cooperate with the people in the village to start construction. Except when the sun is the hottest at noon, in the morning and at night, as long as the temperature drops slightly, the people in the village will consciously gather together to go outside the village for construction.

For safety reasons, the army also dispatched several supernatural beings to protect the safety of the villagers.

After discussions with Mu Qiangguo's family, the men, except for Shen Xi, all took turns to work outside the village.If Mu Qiangguo and Mu Jianguo were there on the first day, Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng would be there on the second day.

Taking turns in this way, everyone doesn't feel tired, and they can also exercise by the way. Taking advantage of the rest time the next day, they can continue training as usual.

During the period, several vehicles from the army went out, and they did not know where to bring back the materials. Apart from erecting a rough wall outside the village, the front of the wall was actually entangled by the soldiers. The power grid comes out, and they are all really powered on.

Everyone was busy with enthusiasm, and it took five days for the protective wall to be erected.

Since the protective wall was built, a lot of refugees came to the village one after another, all of them were sallow and emaciated. Among them, there were some supernatural beings who were recruited by the army.

The remaining empty houses in the village were also confiscated by the army, and some unknown supernatural beings began to live in. Regarding this, the village chief Xia declared that he did not have any objections at all.

There were a few villagers who came out to object, but it was thunder and rain, and then nothing happened.

Those house owners who haven't come back after such a long time, I'm afraid they are already in danger.

The migrant population in Bazi Village who were originally scattered in the village was also integrated and arranged in one place by the army. After the protective wall, the army has obviously become the backbone of these people.No one spoke out against the army's resolution, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

When the migrant population was on par with the villagers, Bazi Village was completely under the control of the army.

Obviously, contradictions also began to arise.

In this regard, even the army cannot control the hearts of the people.

The most prominent is the problem of food and housing. Now there is drought everywhere outside, and all the plants have been frozen to death by the sudden snow and ice. Until now, the soil has not grown a blade of grass at all.

Even if you want to grow crops, you have to wait for the drought to pass.

The foreign population fled all the way, and they didn't bring much food with them. Even if they lived frugally for such a long time, when they were full and hungry, there was not much food left.

But the aborigines in Bazi Village are different. In the countryside, every household is used to hoarding food. Now the water problem is solved by the army's supernatural powers. They don't have to worry about food. They live well and eat well. This expression is natural Much better than people from outside.

In comparison, this has resulted in a foreign population, and many people's psychology is unbalanced. Many of them have really fought outside. After experiencing the alternation of severe cold, they killed people for a little food. I escaped here alive.

These people have witnessed intrigue and mutual harm, and the little bit of courtesy, justice and shame in their hearts has long been left out of their minds.

In order to survive, in order not to die, how can I care so much.

Although the army began to organize people in the village to go out to search for food and hunt, many people still took the idea of ​​​​the aborigines.

The villagers in the village seemed to feel the difference and the potential crisis, and tried to stay in their houses as much as possible, but even so, accidents happened to several families.

Although under the compulsory control of the army, there were no casualties, but the food in many villagers' homes was inexplicably lost, and nothing left was stolen.

Even if the people in the army want to investigate, they will not be able to catch them for a while, and there is no way to investigate them.

During dinner that day, Shen Zhi vividly described what happened in the village, and how many families had their food stolen without anyone noticing, crying and swearing at others.

"This food, put it at home well, why did it all get lost, and I don't know if it was done by a supernatural person?" After Shen Zhi finished speaking, he did not forget to explain his doubts about this matter at the end.

Hearing this, Mo Cheng said thoughtfully, "I think Shen Zhi's idea is very likely. This one after another, several families have lost food. I'm afraid it's caused by the supernatural person. If it's an ordinary Man, how could it be possible to steal food without anyone noticing at night when the master is sleeping at home. Besides, it is impossible to steal food without any movement, right?"

"That's right, that's right, it's obvious that the supernatural person did it." Shen Zhi nodded quickly, looked at Mo Cheng with admiration, and felt that what he said was exactly what he wanted.

In order to show his friendliness to Mocheng, Shen Zhi took a chopstick of carrots and vegetables that he least liked to eat into Mocheng's bowl.

Mo Cheng gave him a sideways look, Shen Zhi shrank his neck, smiled obsequiously, held a big bowl, and devoured it hungrily. He has been training non-stop for the past few days, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

After hearing what the two of them speculated, the rest of the people held their bowls with expressions of approval.

"This has been stolen from several houses. I have so much food in the kitchen, I have to go and hide it quickly." Mrs. Mu put down the bowl with a worried face, and ran towards the kitchen in a hurry.

"Mom, don't worry, thieves won't patronize here." Mu Qiangguo called out to Mrs. Mu. There is an enchantment specially set up by him and Shen Xi outside this house. Easy.

The old lady Mu didn't listen to Mu Qiangguo, and hurried to see where she kept her food, planning to move them all upstairs to her own room.This food should be placed under the eyelids, so that she can really feel at ease.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Mu has decided on one thing, and there is no way to persuade her. She can only let Mrs. Mu worry about her actions.

Seeing that his words caused trouble, Shen Zhi naturally didn't bring up this topic.Anyway, he felt that if the thief really dared to visit their home, with the abilities of Brother Mu and Brother Shen, the thief might not be able to escape.

Mu Jianguo was just finishing his meal at this time, and he greeted a few people at the table and was about to practice guns, when the old lady Mu temporarily arrested the young man and helped carry the food upstairs.

While feeding his son, Shen Xi thought about the incident about the thief that was raging in the village. He always felt that this incident was a bit weird and not so simple.

Mu Xibao was playing with the toy car in his hand, and ate the food fed by his father one bite at a time. Recently, this little guy has always been dishonest in his sleep, and his round belly has lost a lot of weight.

The two adults felt sorry for their son, and they didn't like to eat, so they prepared a lot of fruit and milk for him, and steamed his favorite egg custard for each meal, so as to make up for the lost meat.

Seeing that Shen Xi treats the two children equally, Mrs. Mu has nothing to say about what the baby has.

After Mu Xibao finished half a bowl of rice, he shook his head to express that he didn't want to eat.Shen Xi wiped his son's mouth, Mu Xibao stood up obediently, asked his father to wipe his mouth clean, asked his father for a small box of milk and an apple, and took the well-fed kitten to go Played at the door.

It's not completely dark yet, so it's not too hot, and the adults are staying at home, so there's no need to take care of the little guy, let him play with the kitten by himself.

It may be because the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Shen Xi has no appetite for food these days, and he doesn't eat much. After taking a few mouthfuls hastily, he stopped eating.

Because Shen Xi has to eat a lot of fruit recently, Mu Qiangguo didn't force Shen Xi to eat more. After all, in this weather, no matter how good the appetite is, he can't eat too much dry rice.

What's more, Shen Xi's appetite has always been small.

With the help of Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng, Mu Qiangguo quickly cleaned up the dishes. Recently, there have been a lot of immigrants in the village. Although some people will go out hunting with the army, eating meat alone cannot balance the human body. needed nutrients.

Therefore, every time it gets dark, a small market will be formed on the road in the center of the village, and many people will set up stalls outside and exchange some things with others.

According to Shen Zhi's little information, recently someone secretly took out guns and bullets to exchange food with others.

Now, the only gun in the family was given to Mu Jianguo to use, and Shen Zhi hadn't developed any abilities.After everyone's unanimous discussion and decision, they planned to exchange food with others, and give it to Shen Zhi to use when he went out to hunt mutant animals.

Although people's bodies have evolved further, the speed of animals has also increased.

Shen Zhi has a gun on his body, which also increases the protection of life and reduces the danger a little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Xi wanted to go out for a stroll and learn about the specific situation of the village.

Several people packed up quickly and greeted Mrs. Mu who was still busy.Mu Jianguo had visited that place long ago, so naturally he wasn't very interested.

But it's good for Mu Jianguo to stay at home, because he can take care of the safety of Mrs. Mu and Da Ya.

The four walked out without delay.Just at this moment, Mu Xibao's tender crying suddenly sounded outside the house.
