Pei Mengqing saw that the people were trying to stay here and didn't know how to persuade them.
After all, what these people said makes sense. Hiding in this mountain forest, at least you don't have to worry about a zombie crisis breaking out in the city at any time.
But the problem also arises...
"The characteristics of the zombies have not yet been verified. Maybe you will be found by them if you are active in the mountains and forests.
“The county town has a tall and solid city wall, but you have nothing in the forest.
"Even a warlock mutates when bitten. Do you think a cabin with an unstable foundation can resist zombies?"
Pei Mengqing uses emotion and reason to express his feelings, hoping to impress everyone.
But these people seemed determined and expressed their willingness to stay here. Only those who still had wives, children and mothers at home were willing to go back.
But there's a problem.
"What will we do with the firewood after we go back? It's a cold winter. If we don't have firewood, we will freeze to death when we go back."
"Yeah, instead of going back and freezing to death, it's better to take the risk and stay in the mountains and forests. At least there are countless trees for us to burn."
"Don't worry, there will be a solution to this problem. All the warlocks in the city will not be idle, and there are always a number of zombies. As long as they are cleaned up, they will all be eliminated soon."
Pei Mengqing couldn't believe what he said, but he still felt that it was safer in the city.
Ordinary people who are not magicians have no better chance of surviving in the mountains and forests than they imagine.
There is no medicine when you are sick, there is no place to sharpen the ax blade when it is curled up, you cannot eat the vegetables you want, hunting is not always fruitful, and if the fallen leaves are not cleared thoroughly enough, it may even cause a forest fire.
By then, Tianhe County, which is already shrouded in severe cold, will be shrouded in the thick smoke of wildfires, and it will really be impossible to live.
No matter how he said it, and he mentioned every risk, there were still many people who chose to stay in the mountains and forests.
Pei Mengqing had no choice but to stop caring about them.
Sometimes you have to let go of your need to help others and respect the fate of others.
There are about eighty people who need to be transported back to the city, and more than twenty people stay here.
Pei Mengqing thought for a while, then discussed it with the three captains Zhao Qiansun and the three cats, and started to chop down the trees.
Soon, they cut down dozens of big trees, and then used these big trees to make something that they didn't know whether to call it a raft or "Noah's Ark."
Think of it as a special type of oversized sled that can transport people, teachers and students at the same time, and can also transport hundreds of thick trees back for fuel.
Such an "extra large sled" is naturally incredibly heavy, and Pei Mengqing can barely pull it forward on the snow alone.
But if he, the three captains and the three cats take action together, they can carry this extra-large sled into the sky.
Looking at their departing figures and this ridiculously big ship, those who chose to stay in the mountains and forests suddenly felt a little regretful.
"Would it be better to go back with them?" someone suddenly said.
"Forget it, since you choose to stay here, let's cut down the trees and build a wooden house. Otherwise, we will freeze to death in the forest at night."
"makes sense."
So the gang became active again and began cutting down trees to build wooden houses.
However, no one knew that hundreds of zombies were stumbling from the road in the distance. Without knowing what went wrong, they began to move towards Laotou Mountain, in the direction of this group of people.
Pei Mengqing and the three captains pulled the entire extra-large sled towards Tianhe County. It wasn't until the huge friction sound on the ground attracted the attention of the zombies surrounding Tianhe County that they speeded up and were about to meet them. When zombies collide.
Pei Mengqing shouted: "Get up!"
So the four people and three cats used their strength together, put the extra large sled on their shoulders, and used their feet hard, and they all flew into the air.
Soon, just when the power of the four people and three cats was about to be exhausted, they finally flew over a section of the city wall and landed on an open space on the Qingzhu Campus.
They quickly put down the oversized sled and all breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, there is no need to build such a big sled if we just bring these 80 or so people back. As long as Pei Mengqing and Xiaori Juju take action, they can bring them all back.
But considering that no one in the city will be able to go out to cut firewood for some time in the future, it is better to bring back so much firewood in advance. At least these hundreds of thick trees are enough to supply Qingzhu Campus for heating for a week.
If other late-stage Xuanqi-level warlocks, or even Qi-level warlocks, are willing to help, they can even bring back more fuel, and there is no need to worry about the severe cold.
After giving each of the eighty people a few days' worth of firewood, he sent them off to their respective homes. Pei Mengqing then bowed to the three captains Zhao Qian and Sun:
"Thank you for the hard work of the three lieutenants this time. When the matter is over, Pei will definitely go to express his thanks. Then I ask the three eldest brothers not to mind and have a drink together."
The three captains also hurriedly returned the greeting: "I'm just following orders, but if Teacher Pei is willing, the three of us will naturally be willing to have a drink and dinner with you, hahaha!"
The three of them sensed Pei Mengqing's courtesy and naturally treated each other with courtesy.
After the three school captains took their leave, the three cats also decided to continue their original itinerary and go to the archives to search for records of the early days of the school.
Pei Mengqing took Elder Liu's waistband back and asked the teachers and students to take the firewood back.
However, this extra-large sled can also be used as fuel, and can be split into firewood when the time comes.
For him, a swordsman, and with the help of a warlock, it was not difficult to build such an extra-large sled.
On the contrary, carrying such a thing back and forth from the city is more troublesome and wastes energy.
When I returned to the administrative office building in Qingzhu District, I received the news that Elder Liu had gone to the central district for a meeting to discuss current countermeasures.
Pei Mengqing had no choice but to take Elder Liu's token and return to her dormitory temporarily.
As for the "big boat" of firewood, it was left to the teachers and students to unload and carry it themselves.
Back in the dormitory, Pei Mengqing remembered that among the extra items in the system mall after the upgrade, there was an item called "Extended Spring Lamp", which cost 10 points to burn every day. It was not expensive but not cheap either.
You must know that he only earned 20 or 30 points per mission at the beginning, and sometimes only 5 points.
"Exchange the Spring Lamp for ten days of burning time."
[The exchange was successful, with 978 remaining points and share points, and a total of 2503 points spent on consumption. There is still 22 points left before the next consumption rebate. A total of 80 rebate points for this consumption have been settled. 】
Pei Mengqing had something like a teapot in his hand, but when he opened the lid, he found a flame inside.
No matter how the air flows outside and you can't see where the fuel is, it will keep burning.
In fact, the temperature of the entire room seemed to have risen ten degrees!
