Yangyang followed Tang Zheng to the village dock.
When he got here, Tang Zheng took a look and found that the bearded ship had just set sail.
Tang Zheng turned on the radar and took a glance, and saw that the other party's cabin was still densely packed with people.
Tang Zheng stood there without moving for a long time. He didn't board his own ship until the ship disappeared from sight.
After Yangyang got on the boat, she met two girls, Ning Yuwei and He Xue.
Ning Yuwei and He Xue quite liked this Yangyang. After all, he had a sweet mouth and looked young, so he was quite likable.
But Yangyang seems to be a little attached to Tang Zheng and doesn't have much contact with Ning Yuwei and the others. She likes to stay by Tang Zheng's side whenever she has nothing to do.
After sailing for a while, the boat left the main river and entered another river.
Unlike the other side of the main river, this side is obviously in no man's land.
The surrounding jungle is dense, and occasionally mutant beasts can be seen crawling in the dense forest, looking at passing ships with cold eyes.
Yangyang stayed beside Tang Zheng for a while, and then took the initiative to go fishing.
Due to the growth environment, the fish in this river do not grow too big, so they can be caught and eaten.
When it was time for dinner, Yangyang made a large pot of fish soup, which tasted surprisingly good.
The natural environment and wild fish have a unique taste.
After a good meal, everyone on the boat became familiar with Yangyang.
At night, Yangyang obediently ran to Ning Yuwei and the others, and the three girls slept together.
The next day, under the command of Yangyang, some soldiers pulled fiber and the ship passed a shoal.
On the third day, under heightened alert, we passed through a deep water area where there were many crocodiles. However, Sheep Yang seemed to be quite experienced and could accurately detect the location of the crocodiles, allowing the soldiers to shoot and kill them in time.
After a nearly three-day journey, the ship has gradually approached the cargo source area.
"In another hundred kilometers, we can pass through this dense forest area, and we can reach the supply area by tomorrow morning at most."
Yangyang stood at the bow of the boat and said happily to the inside.
Beside Tang Zheng, Ning Yuwei looked at Yangyang, smiled and said to Tang Zheng: "General, this girl is pretty good, she is a fellow villager with you, and her life experience is quite pitiful. Do you want to take her with you when you return? "
Tang Zheng looked at Yangyang's cheerful figure and said after a while: "Let's look at tomorrow."
The boats continued to form, and at night, Shenyang caught a lot of fish again.
When the boat stopped midway, she even collected some herbs from the shore.
"These are good condiments for fish stew. They are unique to our Piao country. I guarantee that my brothers and sisters have never eaten them."
Yangyang poured condiments into the pot and turned back to Tang Zheng and the others with a smile.
Ning Yuwei also smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, then we will have another good meal today."
"It's not hard, this is what I should do."
Yangyang returned a simple smile, with a slightly embarrassed blush on his face.
Tang Zheng looked at Yangyang's smile, and a hint of smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
What an innocent girl.
River base.
This was originally a large market town in Piao State, called Neihe Town.
Neihe Town does not belong to Nahan's territory, but is considered a border town between Piao Kingdom and Nahan's territory.
This is a large plain area with not only roads but also inland river transportation. Before the end of the world, it was also a distribution center for goods and commodities.
After the end of the world, this place was occupied by a large mercenary group because it was far away from the capital of Piao Kingdom.
This mercenary group is the boat gang where Beard is from.
At night, the bearded boat arrived at the inland river base.
The ship boss turned on the light a few times, opened the water gate of the base, and the ship entered the base through the water gate.
After docking, the armed men opened the cabin door and asked the people inside to get off the ship.
The people inside walked out of the cabin one by one, all of them Hanyue people.
There are men, women, old and young, and their mental state is not very good.
A man from the shore walked up to Lu Shihuzi: "Huzi, the quality of the goods this time is average. It doesn't matter if there are no beauties, but there are not even a few strong men. The higher-ups will not be satisfied."
Huzi snorted: "Do you think beauties are like cabbage? It's hard to find strong men these days. The Plateau Empire is very poor, and most of the survivors don't have enough to eat. Those with sallow complexions and skinny muscles, and occasionally those with good health, were all recruited by their emperor Duan Yunxiang to serve as soldiers, so it is not easy to find these."
The person next to him frowned slightly: "It's useless for you to complain. Nahan's triangle base doesn't accept just anyone. Didn't I tell you the standards? Try to be tall, fat, and strong. This will also save costs over there. Even if you fill it with some crooked melons and cracked dates, at least there should be some to support the appearance, and it will definitely not work if you only have this kind of quality."
Huzi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry while I do the work. Although the goods in this shipment are indeed not very good, I still have a backup plan."
"Oh, what back-up plan?"
"Haha, a boatload of more than thirty adventurers, equipped with their own guns, is considered a good commodity."
After hearing Husband's words, the eyes of the people around him suddenly lit up.
"Of course it counts. The adventurers themselves are all men with strong combat capabilities. Maybe there are mutants among them. If such people are sent over, they can be made into mutated zombies directly. If they even have guns, then they can be made directly. They can be armed, but there is a shortage of such people now. Where did you get them? Why didn't I see anyone?"
Huzi smiled and said: "I have said that there are more than thirty adventurers, how can it be so easy to get it? If it is easy to get it, I will take action directly. To tell you the truth, when I saw them, I really doubted that if I take action, My side may be wiped out by them. Didn't you see the momentum of those people? They are all very different. According to my judgment, all of their thirty-odd people are mutants!"
The people around him were immediately excited when they heard this: "Are you sure? More than thirty mutants?"
"It can't be wrong, and it's not an ordinary mutant. Even if it's not a second-level mutation, it should be almost a peak level one. If it's not such an elite team, how can it dare to do cross-border business? It's still in such a chaotic time. "
"Okay, Beard! You can get such a team, but I have a question. Your people are all here. How do you control those people? How did they get here? Will there be conflicts when they get here? If you follow what you said As such, we must prepare in advance, otherwise we may suffer heavy losses.”
The bearded man waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, don't you worry about me doing things? Sometimes in this world, force cannot solve everything, but it can solve most things."
"How long will it take for them to arrive?"
"If my estimate is correct, it should be tomorrow morning. Don't worry, it won't delay the time to load the truck at the Triangle Base tomorrow."
After hearing Bearded Beard's affirmative words, the people around him no longer hesitated.
"Okay, since you said so, then I believe you, and I will take these goods away first."
This man got into a military jeep, and then commanded a group of armed men from the boat gang to escort the Hanyue people off the boat.
"Walk, walk, follow me. Those who walk faster will have food tonight. If anyone cries for me, have you seen the big pit next to it? More than a thousand people who don't know whether to live or die have been buried in it. People, I hope you all can be more conscious and don’t cause trouble for me.”
This group of Hanyue people followed his car tremblingly, not daring to speak at all.
There were women in this group, but they were not very beautiful.
There was a child, who looked to be about ten years old. He closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to speak.
There are also middle-aged and elderly people who are out of breath while walking.
They followed the vehicle closely and were disliked by the people on the vehicle.
"Children should at most be equipped with a pistol."
"An ugly woman is not qualified to reward the army. She only needs a rifle."
"Old man, you have them all? What kind of rubbish are these? They are only worthy of installing a bomb."
After walking with these people for a while, an open-air cell appeared in front of them.
They were just huge iron cages, lined up in rows, completely inhospitable to human beings.
There are still many people imprisoned in the iron cage.
These people were all in ragged clothes and locked in cages, watching the arrival of new people with numb eyes.
"Let's go! Let's go in, get into the cage, three people per cage."
The new arrival was pushed in staggeringly, and then the cage door clicked and locked. There was absolutely no possibility of the person inside coming out.
One of the old men finally couldn't help it and asked tremblingly: "Excuse me, what are you trying to do by arresting us?"
"Shut up! That's not what you should care about."
A young man couldn't help it: "Then you must give us some water and food, we are so hungry."
"Haha! I remember someone said that people can live for more than ten days without eating and can only live for three days without drinking water. So don't worry, we won't let you live for only three days. Come on, give them water. "
Someone dragged a water pipe over and applied pressure, and immediately huge water jets sprayed at people.
Everyone was hit by the water jet and fell down, soaked all over and turned into drowned rats.
"Don't be thirsty this time. Not only did I give you water, but I also gave you a free bath. If anyone dares to scream, I will shoot him next time!"
"Let's go, we're on duty. We'll load the truck tomorrow morning and send it to the Triangle Base."
After saying that, the guards dispersed, leaving only a large group of people in the iron cage who did not dare to choke loudly.
Locked in a cage, surrounded by high walls, there are thousands of armed members of the boat gang. There is no hope for these people.
Especially those who came later, when they heard that those who were captured first said that they wanted to become armed zombies, everyone was desperate.
Just because there was a war between the Plateau Empire and the Southern Peninsula Alliance, and the Plateau Empire continued to lose, they became the victims.
This is the tragedy of not having a strong country to back you up, and you can't help yourself.
