Four days later.

Even after repeated filtering, the lake still had a bitter and strange smell. The yellow-haired water flowed down from the filter with a large plastic bucket, and lifted it up with another person and placed it on the trolley.

When the car was full, Huangmao greeted his companions from the "water plant", pushed the cart, bypassed the long dragon, and walked towards the stronghold by the lake.

Many people are waiting outside the "water plant", and today there are many new faces, with more men and few women, and most of them are alert, and people a hundred meters long are silent.

At the stronghold by the lake, Robin was carrying people to build rafts with wood and iron sheets, and transporting heavy supplies to a safe island. Dozens of men holding simple weapons were guarding the simple fortifications vigilantly. When they saw the yellow-haired man, they pulled open the heavy wooden boards and put him in.

Now, their small group has grown to more than 160 people. With more people, more things will be done. The atmosphere of intimacy and trust no longer exists. Conflicts arise within the small group, and almost everyone has their own small abacus.

As Lao Xiao’s confidant, Huangmao is also very popular. After entering the stronghold, people greet him from time to time. Whether he knows him or not, he responds patiently. Occasionally stops to brag about others, listens to their flattery or complaining... It can be regarded as closely monitoring the ideological trends within the group and making Lao Xiao’s eye.

Ding ding bang, the simple sling lifted a thick steel bar, and the man below raised his head and watched the beam fall on the load-bearing wall made of wood without any danger.

Applause rang out, and a brief celebration was made, and then devoted himself to the intense work.

Huangmao took out the shriveled cigarette box, took out a wrinkled cigarette, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it before holding it in his mouth. After igniting it, he closed his eyes intoxicatedly.

At this moment, the search team came back, the entrance to the stronghold became lively, and heavy wooden boards rose.

"Where is the doctor, the doctor!"

In addition to supplies, there is also a wounded person.

Lao Xiao called the only doctor and handed the wounded to him. He gave him a few instructions. He arranged for people to unload the supplies he brought back and put them into various warehouses in different categories.

Huangmao couldn't get to his side, so he went to see the wounded first.

The injured person was a fat man, and he didn't recognize the yellow hair. Seeing that the wound was in his lower abdomen, the doctor was using pliers to pick out the thorns inside.

The fat man screamed in pain, "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Huangmao asked him how he was injured.

The fat man hesitated and said that he was beaten by a crazy woman for a while.

"You boy, it won't be..."

"No, absolutely not. I thought there was no one in the room. Who knew that she was hiding under the bed and preparing to sleep in the bed. She felt something was wrong as soon as she lay down, but she still stabbed her. You didn't see the madness of that woman, who should I ask for to reason?"

Huangmao smiled and patted the unlucky guy on the shoulder, but thought to himself, just a few days ago, the situation outside was so tense?

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the latter one is the most deadly, right?

He wanted to talk to Lao Xiao, but after searching for a while, he found him on the wall he was building.

Old Xiao was chatting and laughing with people, pointing at the surrounding area of ​​the stronghold from time to time, sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, every move with an indescribable power and confidence.

This kind of old Xiao made him feel strange.

The raft came, and Huangmao pushed the water wheel up worriedly.

When I returned to the island in the middle of the lake, I saw Wang Yue cooking with a group of women and a group of children running around the island... It was a mess, it was so messy.

Huangmao was much more relaxed. He directed his two men to remove the bucket. When he saw Wang Yue coming, he shouted with a shy face: Hello, sister-in-law, let's escape before she had an attack.

A large wooden house was built in the middle of the island, and some important supplies were piled up inside. The mushroom heads were mixed in the pile of women in front of the warehouse. He saw him from a distance teaching a girl how to classify and register.

The girl is not old, who should be her family member? Huangmao cursed: The beast suddenly roared, and the yellow-haired jumped away from the girl like an electric shock, and hurriedly turned around.

He woke up when he heard Huangmao's laughter and turned around to scold Huangmao. The two bad friends were pinched together as soon as they met, which made the girl cover her mouth and laugh.

Happy time always passes quickly.

At night, the core members of the team gathered together and had a meeting while having a meal.

Huangmao then asked about the situation outside.

Everyone stopped talking and laughed. Lao Xiao put down the teacup, glanced around and said, "Yes, the situation outside is very tense, and we may also be affected. Everyone should be mentally prepared."

"How serious is it!?" asked one person.

"The materials that are easy to find are clean," said Lao Xiao, "Some people react quickly, some people react slowly, some people rely on rescue, and some people are ready from the beginning, which leads to some people becoming panic because they are going to go hungry."

A gust of cold wind blew on the scene, and everyone's heart was a little cold.

"Don't worry, we have sufficient supplies. In addition to the reserves on the base, some of the strongholds outside have also secretly stored them. The worst case will not happen."

After pausing for a moment, Lao Xiao said again: "It's October and the weather is getting colder. The next focus is on land and farming and preparing for winter. There are still people who need to be asked, but the standards cannot be relaxed. People who do not meet the requirements must not be allowed to come in."

As he was talking, an uninvited guest suddenly came.

He is a city guard officer.

The officers were wearing black uniforms and told them unceremoniously that the Emergency Command ordered them to immediately disband the illegal organization and hand over the illegal income. All adult men aged 15 to 45 must be under the unified command and dispatch of the city guards.

This is an order, not a notice, and there is still a time limit.

Lao Xiao was naturally in an uproar, and he started to curse on the spot with a bad temper. The officer just laughed a few times and left without waiting for a reply here.

"Calm down." Old Xiao shouted with a deep face: "Don't worry, the black skins don't have such rights. I haven't heard of the emergency command center. Who knows which onion it is? I want to incorporate us and steal our supplies, but it's not that easy."

"Yes, I'll fight with the black skins."

"Black leather dogs cannot trust."

"Black skin dogs are all lackeys of the military leaders."

...

Having said that, as soon as he returned to the room, Lao Xiao's expression became solemn, and everyone sat down, but he said another thing: "I was not going to say what I am now, but the city guards emerged in advance, so I had to make plans early."

"What's the matter?"

"When I went out to search for supplies a few times, I found a strange place in Manshan Village in the western suburbs. Some people said that there was an exit to the outside world inside."

Everyone was stunned.
