Along the way, the two of them encountered no obstacles.
After an afternoon of familiarizing themselves with the environment, Hu Tengye and Zhao Zhiqi had basically figured out the route within the settlement.
Except for some places where we are not allowed to go, we have already visited all the places where we can go.
So it was not difficult for the two of them to reach the noisy door.
Mixed in the crowd, two soldiers were performing well, with curious looks on their faces.
Zhao Zhiqi randomly selected a woman over fifty years old and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, auntie, who's coming outside? Why are everyone gathered at the door..."
"Oh, of course the people who went out to search for supplies have returned. Otherwise, what else would be worth gathering around here? Hey...Young man, you look very unfamiliar..."
Looking at Zhao Zhiqi's appearance, a trace of doubt appeared on the woman's face.
"Oh, I just arrived at the settlement today. I'm new here. Auntie, you must be surprised when you see me..." Zhao Zhiqi explained quickly.
"It turns out he's new here. I asked him why he didn't even know when the search team came back. It just so happens that if you have anything you don't know, you can ask Auntie. Auntie is the PHS person who is known as the Four Seasons Gathering!"
"Gene Era"
A flash of pride flashed across the woman's face.
"Hey, I really have something to ask, auntie, how often does this settlement go out to search for supplies? I see there are a lot of people outside..."
Zhao Zhiqi, with his smiling face, gave the woman a thumbs up and asked.
"It seems that the time for searching for supplies is not fixed. Usually, we follow the leader's wishes."
As she spoke, the woman cast her gaze into the distance.
Zhao Zhiqi and Hu Teng also looked subconsciously and saw a tall woman standing on the roof of an off-road vehicle.
She held a rough-looking pistol in her right hand, and carried a machete welded from a steel pipe and an iron plate on her back. It looked cool and eye-catching.
Since his back was to Zhao Zhiqi and others, he could not see the woman's appearance clearly at the first time.
"The woman standing on the roof of the car is one of the four leaders, Zha Xiahe." The woman pointed in the distance and said.
"Cha Chunlan, Cha Xiahe, the place where the four seasons live?"
A look of pain began to appear on half of Hu Tengye's face. He felt that he was about to learn something worth complaining about!
"These four leaders, shouldn't they be the four sisters of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter? Shouldn't the remaining two female leaders be named Cha Qiuju and the other Cha Dongmei?!"
"Hey, how did you know that the four leaders are indeed four sisters? You also guessed the names of the remaining two leaders!"
The middle-aged woman turned her head in surprise, as if looking at a precious animal, and looked at Hu Tengye behind her.
"There's something wrong with this if you can't guess..."
Silently complaining in his heart, Hu Teng also smiled bitterly and continued to cast his gaze into the distance.
Zha Xiahe, who was standing on the roof of the car, seemed to be directing the people below, but probably because of the delicate voice of a woman, her volume was not very loud.
This also resulted in Hu Tengye and Zhao Zhiqi, who were watching the excitement from a distance, not being able to hear clearly what was being said.
However, the crowd around them was very obedient. Although they were noisy and noisy, they all behaved themselves and did not do any overstepping.
"Hey, it seems that this Zha Xiahe is very popular. She is obviously just a woman, but she can make the men below so obedient..."
Hu Tengye's comment sounds like it has some incorrect views and is smacking of sexism.
But if you take a closer look, you can find the truth contained in it.
Now is the end of the world after the cataclysm broke out, and the restrictions of the Age of Order have turned into dust.
In the case of extreme lack of human nature, only with enough animality can we survive in this world.
Women are emotional, men are rational.
Under the same conditions, if given the choice, a group of men would never let a woman lead the way.
Even if he succumbs to his strength on the surface, he will secretly make small moves and try his best to gain power.
But the survivors in the four-season settlement can be so surrendered to the four sisters of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
This alone speaks volumes.
Just as Hu Tengye and Zhao Zhiqi were thinking, there was another commotion at the door in the distance.
A black and white animal with a strong body, but its body was tightly tied with ropes, was carried out by several strong men.
This move made the residents who were blocking the door to watch the excitement subconsciously take a step back.
But the curiosity in their hearts caused them to crane their necks and cast their gaze into the distance.
"Damn it, I actually caught a mutant beast this time..."
"Hey, look, he's still alive!"
"This black and white coat looks like a husky..."
"Get out of here, you husky! Have you ever seen a husky this big? This must be a mutated wolf that escaped from the zoo..."
"Tsk, tsk, do you think the meat of this thing is delicious..."
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd of onlookers. Many people's faces were full of surprise, but more expressions were of fear and fear.
Although everyone was talking about irrelevant things, everyone was thinking about one thing.
If I encountered such a mutated beast in the wild, what would be the probability of surviving intact?
The answer is obvious, infinitely close to zero.
Following everyone's gaze, the mutated beast the size of an adult stallion was carried into the walled city.
As the distance increased, these melon-eaters naturally saw the appearance of the mutated beast clearly.
It has a long mouth, big eyes, triangular ears, a tail and four legs.
The body shape is a little inconsistent, but judging from the distinctive coat color, there is no doubt that it is a husky.
And it’s a husky the size of a stallion!
The mutated beast was carried by several strong men. Facing the gazes of everyone, not only did it not look afraid, but it looked calm and composed, looking very much enjoying itself.
If its mouth hadn't been tightly tied with a piece of cloth, it might even have yawned a few times on the spot to relieve its sleepiness.
"This mutated beast doesn't look fierce at all...it seems to be very comfortable..."
Hu Teng also looked at the scene in the distance and rubbed his eyes with some suspicion.
In his few memories, mutated creatures infected by viruses should be extremely hostile to humans.
Now that the giant husky was tied up, not only did he show no signs of resistance and struggle, but he looked like he was enjoying himself leisurely!
No matter how you look at it, it is very inconsistent.
Just when the bearded man was about to ask Zhao Zhiqi for his opinion, there was another noise from the crowd outside.
A woman of medium stature jumped out from the crowd and threw herself in front of the vehicle where Zha Xiahe was standing.
"Chief! You promised, why are you doing this now!"
The woman was so excited that she slapped the hood of the vehicle with both hands while shouting.
Because the sound was so loud, even Hu Teng and Zhao Zhiqi in the distance could hear it clearly.
"Hey, have you never seen this girl? A survivor outside?"
The middle-aged woman who is known as a PHS practitioner for all seasons spoke in confusion.
Obviously, she had not seen the woman who protested loudly.
Hearing the noise coming from behind, Zha Xiahe turned around.
There was no anger on her face. Instead, she knelt down with a smile and said a few words.
The voice was still soft, and the content was completely unclear.
"Damn it, the second boss talks so quietly, it's like a mosquito..."
Zhao Zhiqi complained in a low voice that he had changed the title of Zha Xiahe to the second boss.
Anyway, the four leaders of the four seasons settlement are the four sisters of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
According to the order, naturally they are the first boss, the second boss, the third boss and the fourth boss.
From a ranking point of view, it is quite consistent with the situation.
"You know what? The lower your voice, the more powerful you are. Have you ever seen the big guys in those movies and TV shows speaking in a soft voice?"
Hu Teng also added in a serious tone. At this moment, he was staring curiously into the distance with his exposed eye, for fear of missing some changes.
Moments like this, which can easily lead to chaos, are also the best time to collect intelligence.
So Hu Teng even looked forward to chaos ahead.
But God didn't hear the bearded man's wish. When Zha Xiahe stood up again, the troublemaking woman had retreated into the crowd and was hard to find.
"The second master is very capable. He can comfort people with just a few words?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Hu Teng was also amazed and couldn't help but complain.
After the giant husky was carried into the walled city, people quickly lined up outside.
There was no need to check Xiahe's command, so they all conducted simple self-examination at the door.
The content of the inspection is very simple, that is, remove the clothes on your body and show your body as much as possible in the sight of the guards.
Those who are not bleeding or injured can enter the walled city directly. Those who are injured should step aside voluntarily and undergo further inspection.
Men naturally don't care, it's perfectly normal to take off their clothes and go shirtless.
Even if he was completely naked, he could only protect his younger brother with his hands, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
Some of them were more bold and unrestrained. They didn't even bother to cover their second brother, and just swaggered in.
But women obviously can't.
Although safety is fully guaranteed.
But showing one's body in public is still a bit reluctant for China's relatively conservative traditional culture.
Therefore, most women consciously move aside and plan to conduct further inspections directly.
Because in that case, you will be taken into the house.
It's inevitable to take off your clothes and be inspected, but at least you don't have to be exposed to so many eyes.
But not all women are like that.
Cha Xiahe, who was standing in the car, was an exception.
Along with the commotion of the male group, Zha Xiahe stood on the roof of the car and began to take off his defense little by little.
Cloth strips, straps, clothes, pants...
Every blockage is removed one by one.
Finally, amidst the excitement and whistles, she began to take off her underwear...
