the beginning of the end

"Brother Du, you said that when it was getting dark yesterday, a group of people entered the base, and they all came from the north side." Mo Cheng said.

"En." Du Ziteng nodded.

"Why did those people come here?" Shen Xi asked.

"I heard from those people that it's too cold in the north. The temperature is much colder than ours. It's impossible to live here. Many people froze to death because they slept too much at night." Du Ziteng replied, remembering what those people said If so, his heart was a little heavy.

"Didn't it mean that many people in the north like to sleep in pits, why would they freeze to death?" Shen Zhi asked what came to his mind.

"There is a kang, but no one expected that the weather would change drastically. It would become so cold all of a sudden. When the plants mutated, they were busy looking for food. No one thought about preparing firewood for the kang. When the weather cooled down , those people realized it, but even if they could find firewood, it was still wet, how could it be burned?" Du Ziteng's voice was a little low.

The place where they live now is close to the intersection of the north and the south. It is not surprising that these people can find this place.

"Then how are those people going to be arranged at the base?" Thinking of this, Shen Xi asked.

"There were only dozens of people who arrived first, and they were all supernatural beings. The higher-ups definitely wanted to recruit all of these people into the military. However, I heard from those people that besides them, there are a large number of people behind them who are also going to the army. Come here, originally they all came out of a small base, originally there were more than 1 people, but now there are only about 3000 people left here. Among them, people with supernatural powers account for a small part, mutants At most, ordinary people really can't bear this kind of weather, there are not many left, and I don't know how these people came here in such cold weather." Du Ziteng said worriedly.

"If so many people flooded in at once, there would definitely not be enough housing in the base. In this weather, it is impossible for the base to arrange people to build houses. It would be good if these people brought a lot of food. If not, the days are unknown. How to live. Even if there is food and no shelter, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter." Shen Xi thought deeply.

"The base must have thought of this aspect too." Mu Qiangguo said after listening to Shen Xi's words, looking at Du Ziteng.

"I came here today, apart from telling you about the people from Beibian, it is precisely because I want to tell you about this matter. If the base wants to develop, it will definitely accept these people. By then, the houses in the base will be arranged, and it is really not enough. If you live in it, it is very likely that your house will be expropriated. Although the house will not be forced to belong to the base itself, people will be arranged to live in it. Your house has two floors, the space is so large, and the living space is limited. Your family was not affected at all during the earthquake. Someone inside the base had already thought about this house. If you hadn't been shocked by your strength later, you might have made a move long ago. Now there is a legitimate reason , how could it be possible to let him go." Du Ziteng explained the reason for his coming here in detail, so that Shen Xi and the others were prepared.

"If we find people to live in by ourselves, and the house is full, there is no reason for the base to arrange people to come over." Shen Xi analyzed. Mu Qiangguo nodded accordingly.

The others listened, and at the same time their eyes lit up, and they thought it was a good idea. After all, the people they find themselves are much safer than the people arranged inside the base. What's more, there are old people at home, and there are two people who don't have anything. Children who understand, can't let those people with ulterior motives live in.

If you disagree, facing the base head-on, this method is definitely not feasible.

As long as they want to live here, it is impossible for them to break away from the shackles of the base.

"This method is feasible, but if you want to find people, you have to wait for the next group of people to arrive at the base." Du Ziteng also thinks this method is feasible. The only worry is that after these people arrive, the base will start making arrangements. How they can tell which of these people have better character is a big problem.

Du Ziteng could think of this, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo looked at each other, and naturally thought of it.

"Brother Du, I will go out of the base with Qiang Guo in the next few days, and I will be back in three days at most. If someone from the base comes, I will ask you to help us block it at home." Shen Xi thought for a while, very The decision is almost made. You can't pick it at the base, he can go outside to see it.

Anyway, as cultivators, he and Mu Qiangguo are not afraid of the cold outside. The only thing that both of them worry about is their precious son, Mu Xibao. But it is impossible for them to bring their son with them when they go out this time. What's more , there is Xia Lei who never leaves his son.

"You two have decided." Du Ziteng looked at Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo and asked seriously.

Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo nodded at the same time.

"Okay, you guys go. Don't worry, I still have some face in the base, and those people shouldn't make moves so soon." Seeing that the atmosphere was too tense, Du Ziteng promised with a smile.

After hearing Du Ziteng's words, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo also smiled at him reassuringly. They didn't go out this time just to find people, they also needed to bring back some dry trees outside the base to make charcoal. Just in case this winter is too long.

If the weather continues to get colder in the future, the charcoal they had left will not be enough.

No matter what they do, the two of them are used to planning for a rainy day in this apocalypse.

"Also, let me ask you about the crystals. The other party is asking for 200 catties of grain for one grain. Now you just decide how many grains you want. This is the lowest price I have negotiated with the other party." Du Ziteng thought of still I didn't say anything, but I hurriedly said it while everyone was there.

Hearing Du Ziteng say that the matter of the crystals has been settled, Shen Zhi and Mu Jianguo, who had been silent all this time, were the first to get excited, but when they heard the price, they were also a little speechless.

Shen Xi thought about it for a while and said, "Brother Du, just change two for us." Originally, he wanted to change three and save one for experimentation, but this time he and Qiang Guo decided to go out temporarily, maybe outside If you can hunt that one, you don't need to spend food to buy it. It's too eye-catching to take out so much food at once.

"Okay, you guys have decided, I'll tell the people over there tomorrow." Du Ziteng nodded.

"Brother Du, I hope the people who sell it over there don't know that we spent so much food on it." Shen Xi looked at Du Ziteng and said.

"Don't worry about this, I know it well." Du Ziteng continued to nod. After all, he also knew the truth about Shu Da's fascination. Moreover, when he went to talk about it, he didn't reveal the identity of Shen Xi and the others. Except for him, the seller didn't know this time Who is the buyer of.

"Brother Du has made a deal, let someone come over to pick up the food when the time comes, it's all prepared at home."

"it is good."

Originally Du Ziteng planned to stay for lunch, but Li Gang came over suddenly and whispered something in his ear. After Du Ziteng greeted him, he took Li Gang away in a hurry.

At noon, when the weather was getting warmer, Shen Xi discussed with Mu Qiangguo and decided to have lunch before leaving.

Now that the decision was made, before leaving, the two explained to the three men in the family that Mu Qiangguo told them to take good care of the elderly and children at home.

During the three days when the two of them left, Shen Xi told the three men that it was best not to go out, and they must not take everything around them lightly.

Especially Mo Cheng, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo are very reassured.

I don't know if he knew that Dad and Dad were going out. All morning, Mu Xibao stayed beside Dad and Dad obediently, and insisted on standing between them. After playing for a while, he stood up again to see where Dad and Dad were. Not here, played for a while, stood up and looked again, three times in a row, even the adults sitting around felt something was wrong, not to mention Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi who were fathers and fathers.

They didn't carry a few children behind their backs when they spoke just now, and the son must have heard it.

However, the two adults feel a little distressed when they think that their son didn't argue to go with him even though he heard it.

This time, it was the first time that the two left their son for so many days at the same time.

Shen Xi directly hugged his son in his arms, the little guy looked at his father eagerly, and arched his whole body into his father's arms, obviously showing very reluctant feelings, Shen Xi felt even more guilty and distressed when he saw it .

"Baby, stay at home obediently for the past few days, with grandma, godfather, and little brother. Father and father will go back soon." Shen Xi kissed his son.

The baby didn't know if he understood the meaning, nodded his head half-understood, hugged his father and kissed him several times, and obediently replied: "Yes. The baby will be obedient, and will wait for Daddy, Daddy to come back."

"When Dad comes back, bring something delicious for the baby." Mu Qiangguo smiled and stroked his son's limp hair, because they were indoors and the house was burning with charcoal, so the two didn't wear a hat for their son.

Originally, the little guy's body was groomed by them with spiritual energy and spiritual spring, and now he is not afraid of the cold.

The baby rubbed his father's hand stroking his hair, turned his head to look in his direction, and nodded with a smile.

Even the old lady Mu felt a little sad when she saw the little guy like this, and she quickly assured Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo: "You should pay attention to safety when you go out for a few days, children, I will take good care of you, don't worry about it." Worry."

Although reluctant to give up, after eating, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo set off.

When the two left, Shen Xi went back to the room and took out [-] catties of food from the space and put it in the place. This was also explained to the people in Mocheng. He also released the kitten from the space and planned to stay at home with him. son.

Mu Xibao stood at the door, watching his father and father disappear from sight with tears in his eyes, and didn't make any noise to catch up. It was not until his father and father walked for a long time that he finally cried out.

Xia Lei hugged Mu Xibao and sat on the stool for a long time before the little guy stopped crying, but the whole person obviously looked sleepy.

Bearing the snowflakes all the way, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo who came out of the base naturally didn't know that their son would be so sad under the strange eyes of the guards. If they knew, why would they not leave their son alone.

When they walked out of the base, the first thing they did was to look for the dry trees outside the base. They planned to cut them down and put them in the space directly.

Because it had been snowing for so long and the road outside the base hadn't been cleaned, the two of them stepped on it, and most of their feet sank into the snow.
