No need for morning, Zhou Yunshu got the reply from Du Laozhuang and others before falling asleep.

They agreed to implement the unified distribution method proposed by Zhou Yunshu.

In fact, they were already shaken after Zhou Yunshu explained to them at that time. Instead of waiting to be robbed, it would be better to use it as a favor.

Another point is that when Zhou Yunshu left, Wei Zhong also expressed his thoughts. If their team really ended up fighting because of internal strife, he would definitely leave with his own people.

As soon as the news came out the next morning, there was indeed a lot of discussion in the team.

There are also opposing voices, but not many.

After all, most of the people in the team had little water, and those who had more water offered to share. How could they refuse.

The people who originally opposed it gradually subsided after seeing the water produced by Zhou Yunshu, Du Laozhuang and others. They were actually a little fed up with being watched and drank water every day.

It's just an agreement. Who takes care of the water and who shares it has become a problem again.

"Since Mr. Zhou came up with this idea, how about Mr. Zhou taking care of it and dividing the water?" Wei Zhong took the initiative.

Du Laozhuang originally thought that as the communicator of the entire team, he should do this. However, Wei Zhong had already said what he said, especially after he finished speaking, and many people agreed, so he had to rest. Nodding thoughtfully in agreement.

Zhou Yunshu did not shirk. Since she was asked to take charge, she would do her part.

As her status in this team became higher and higher, she was already thinking about whether to abduct this team directly to Haizhou.

There are about 200 people in the entire team, and including those who have been following them, there are almost 260 people.

After Du Laozhuang finished talking about the unified management and distribution of water, several families who had been following them took the initiative to donate their water, hoping to fully join Zhou Yunshu and his team.

Du Laozhuang, Zhou Yunshu and others briefly discussed it and did not refuse. As for the other people who followed them but had no water, that was beyond their control. After all, they were not very kind-hearted people.

There is only so much water, and it will be gone after you divide it. Collect all the water and pour it into buckets, which is only seven buckets of water.

For more than 200 people and the livestock accompanying them, seven buckets of water would only last for two days at most.

This saves drinking only for everyone to moisten their throats, so they must find a water source within two days, otherwise, they will die of thirst in Luzhou within a few days.

During this period, some people came over and asked Zhou Yunshu whether he would collect the urine they had saved so hard. Zhou Yunshu was silent for a moment and just said to let them solve it themselves.

After the decision to uniformly distribute water was made, people with different opinions in the team were once again twisted into a rope.

Their current goal is to find water and survive.

The walking speed in the morning was much faster than yesterday, and during the lunch break, everyone got two sips of water again.

When Zhou Yunshu was dividing the water, she told the people in the team not to save it, and not to think about saying that she would not drink it and save it for her parents, children, and family members.

Because once someone collapses due to lack of water, the burden will still be left to his or her family, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, even if it is for the sake of my family, I have to drink the few sips of water I give out every day into my stomach.

An hour after setting off in the afternoon, everyone finally saw a village.

The team stopped. Zhou Yunshu, Du Laozhuang, Wei Zhong and others stood at the front of the team. Looking at the village in front of them that seemed to be deserted, someone habitually looked at Zhou Yunshu and asked, "Do you want to go in?"

Zhou Yunshu looked at the village and slowly exhaled, "You can only go in."

Regardless of whether there is a trap or not, they have no other choice. They must go in in order to survive.

Wei Zhong turned to look at Zhou Yunshu and said, "I'll take someone in to investigate."

Zhou Yunshu nodded and watched Wei Zhong lead twenty young men to the village quickly.

She was sitting on the shaft of the car wearing a bamboo hat. Although the sun was strong, she could still feel the slightest coolness.

Zhou Yunshu held her bamboo hat with her right hand and looked up at the sky. It would be great if there was an autumn rain.

More than half an hour later, Wei Zhong came out of the village with his people. Zhou Yunshu knew there was no good news just by looking at his face.

Sure enough, Wei Zhong said: "The village is empty and all the wells are dead."

After Wei Zhong finished speaking, the only sound left in the sunshine was the sound of the wind blowing up the remaining leaves and dust, revealing unspeakable despair.

"Then keep going."

"good."

Before leaving, Zhou Yunshu stood on the carriage shaft and briefly explained to the people in the team the situation in the village that Wei Zhong and his men had just visited.

"Although there is an empty village in front of us, the villagers have not moved out for a long time, which shows that there must be a large city nearby."

"Everyone, hold on, let's take a good rest and drink water after we get to the city, okay!"

"good!"

Zhou Yunshu listened to the people's determined following and slowly sat down from the carriage. It was better to have hope than no hope.

After she sat down again, she said to Wei Zhong, who had been looking at her, "Let's go."

"yes."

Maybe God heard Zhou Yunshu's voice. When the sun went down, everyone finally saw the high city wall.

The moment they saw the city gate, everyone was almost in tears.

The name of the county in front of you is Anshan County, and behind you is the famous Anshan Mountains in Luzhou.

Perhaps because Anshan County is the only relatively large city nearby, many refugees gathered outside the city gate. There were about six to seven hundred people, all huddled at the city gate.

Zhou Yunshu felt a little uneasy when she saw the crowd of refugees gathered at the city gate.

Not only because of the way they looked up and down when they saw their group of people, as if they were looking at prey, but also because of the hatred and madness in their eyes.

Zhou Yunshu thought that if not everyone in their team was armed, and if it weren't for the condition of this group of people on the surface, it would not be much better. Otherwise, the luggage they were pulling would not be enough for the group of refugees in front of them. They rushed forward one after another.

But even if they did not move, Zhou Yunshu did not dare to let his team get too close to the refugees on both sides of the city gate.

Wei Zhong came to Zhou Yunshu's side, looked at the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate wearing armor and holding long swords, and said to Zhou Yunshu: "There is water in the city."

Zhou Yunshu nodded, she also saw it.

The condition of the officers and soldiers did not look like they were out of water. The defenders had plenty of water to drink, indicating that the city's water resources were relatively abundant.

But when Zhou Yunshu glanced at the people outside the city gate, she always felt that there was a kind of tranquility before the storm, revealing a suppressed and crazy tranquility.

"Want to go into town?"

Zhou Yunshu turned to look at Wei Zhong, who was asking her questions about everything without realizing it, and said, "Enter the city."

If they don't go to the city to get water, they can't leave Luzhou.

All she could hope for now was that her intuition was wrong, or that if something happened, it would happen after they had replenished supplies and water and left Anshan County.

Just when Zhou Yunshu and Wei Zhong were about to go to Du Laozhuang to discuss how many people should enter the city, Du Mazi and Du Xiaoliu were pushing each other and peeking at Zhou Yunshu furtively.

Zhou Yunshu looked at Du Mazi and the four others speechlessly.

Wei Zhong waved, and his men pushed the four of Du Mazi who were hesitating forward.

Zhou Yunshu looked at the four of them and asked, "What's the matter?"

The four of them, Du Mazi, looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Du Mazi stepped forward and looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "Mr. Zhou."

"When our brothers were trying to pee along the city's base, we saw several people digging into the city wall."
