Jiang Jie watched a group of people rushing to talk to him. Before one person could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another person. He suddenly felt a headache.
After living in the cave for more than ten days, he generally understood the situation here.
There is a shortage of supplies such as salt in the cave. It has been half a year since the last time someone was sent to the safe zone to exchange supplies. In the past six months, all the original main fighting forces have left, leaving only a group of people who have just broken through the Chongmai realm. Or practitioners who are still in the spirit-guiding realm are supporting the hunting team. Now the hunting team relies on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain and the advantages of being good at setting traps to hunt prey and barely maintain the livelihood of the villagers in the cave. They now have no strength to go to the safe zone. Exchange supplies, and even if one day, a level three monster is entrenched nearby, the villagers in the cave will immediately be in dire straits.
"Stop arguing! Don't embarrass Brother Jie. Brother Jie, you can leave first tomorrow. I, I will wait!" Wang Yao said in a difficult voice.
After hearing what Wang Yao said, the others did not stop, but instead triggered a new wave of quarrels.
Wang Yao's house is not far from here. He heard the commotion here. When he came over to take a look, he knew what was going on. He was packing things at home just now, and someone saw him and asked him a few questions. He was thinking of leaving tomorrow. Feeling happy, I told the truth. Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly, and everyone wanted to leave. However, they still had parents and relatives to take care of behind them. With their strength, they could not protect their relatives on the road and could only stay here.
No matter how powerful Jiang Jie is on his own, he cannot protect so many people. However, most of the people in the village are related to each other and have different backgrounds. In total, his family has an average relationship with the Jiang family. Many people present are related to the Jiang Jie family. are closer than him.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. Let me calm down for a while!" Jiang Jie's head buzzed from the noise. He raised his hand and everyone fell silent.
"How many people are there in the cave now?" The original population of their village was less than a thousand. When the apocalypse comes, some people will definitely be killed. After excluding the families who have moved away one after another in the past six months, he estimates that the population in the cave is still at most five. Hundred.
"There are still four hundred and twenty-seven people in total, sixty-eight people over seventy years old, forty-two people between sixty and seventy, forty-five people under eighteen years old, and the remaining eighteen Between sixty and sixty." Jiang Ma said later that she was in charge of the collective canteen and knew the population distribution in the cave very well.
Those between the ages of 18 and 60 are the main force in the battle, and their food is better than others.
"You guys wait a moment, I'll be back soon." When their team returned to Beijing, they passed by the Mengjiawan safe zone. They were all from the countryside. They were willing to leave here, and Jiang Jie was willing to help.
Jiang Jie input his spiritual energy into the sound transmission jade talisman and connected it to Rong Xianxian. "Ajie, what's the matter?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"Sister Rong, I'm afraid we can't stay in this cave where the villagers are hiding. All the people with strong fighting ability have left, leaving only some people with average fighting ability, and some old, weak, women and children. They know that we are leaving tomorrow, and they all want to follow us. Let's leave together, do you think...can we take them with us?" Jiang Jie's last sentence was a little vague.
"Okay, do they want to go to the Mengjiawan safe zone?" Rong Xianxian asked simply. Jiang Jie and she had a life-long friendship, and they were just helping him escort the villagers. How could Rong Xianxian not agree? ?
"Yes, I did my best to send them to the Mengjiawan safe zone. Thank you, Sister Rong!" Jiang Jie breathed a sigh of relief. If Sister Rong agreed to help, then there must be no problem.
"You're welcome, we've been going all the way from the beginning of the apocalypse to today, why do we need to show off for such a trivial matter? Get some rest early! Let's meet at your house early tomorrow morning!" Rong Xianxian was referring to the person from the original village. Location, the road there is quite wide. The mountain road from the village to Jiuhuan Mountain is rugged, and people who are not familiar with the terrain will not be able to find the cave.
"Okay! See you tomorrow, Sister Rong." After cutting off the call, Jiang Jie looked excited.
"If you want to leave the cave tomorrow and follow me to the Mengjiawan Safe Zone, you can go back and pack your things now. Let's leave together early tomorrow morning." Jiang Jie said what he said. He originally thought it would attract a burst of cheers, but unexpectedly, the scene was filled with cheers. Silence, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, neither speaking nor leaving.
Jiang Jie was a little surprised, "Why, don't you plan to leave again?"
Finally, someone finally broke the silence, "You can't protect so many people by yourself. When we go with you, we will definitely be protecting our own families. We can't even take care of ourselves, how can we protect them?"
Then someone in the crowd sighed, thinking about it, there was nothing he could say. After all, Jiang Jie alone had limited abilities and was powerless!
"Who said I am alone? My teammates will come to pick us up tomorrow and are waiting in our village. This is the only way. Can you go?" Jiang Jie smiled.
"Really? How many teammates do you have, can you protect so many of us? Uh, I mean, there are so many of my grandfather and them!"
What Jiang Jie meant by what he just said was that the people in the cave can follow them if they want to leave. This is more than four hundred people!
"I can't guarantee anything. It's up to everyone to make their own choices. If you want to leave, let's go together tomorrow. That's it. Let's tell each other!" An accident may happen at any time, and Jiang Jie can't guarantee it. He said he would ensure everyone's safety.
Early the next morning, Jiang Jie found that the cave was brightly lit, all the oil lamps were lit, and everyone was busy packing their things.
It was clear that leaving was a mutual choice.
The atmosphere was a bit solemn, and a sad mood enveloped the crowd, mixed with the fear of the unknown road ahead. If you leave this way, you will probably never come back, and someone may even die on the way.
The older ones didn't want to leave, but they had no other choice for the sake of the children.
This mood suddenly changed when they saw the receiving convoy.
"Let's go, those in front are my teammates. If you don't have a car, get in the car!" Jiang Jie pointed to the rows of camouflage heavy-duty military trucks on the road ahead and said to the villagers.
Jiang Tao's reaction was the most direct. He screamed and hugged Jiang Jie's neck, "Brother, are you a soldier? No, you are an official? You actually mobilized so many trucks at once. It's amazing!" "
"This car is so handsome! Ah!" Jiang Tao jumped up and down around Jiang Jie, almost lifting Jiang Jie up and spinning around twice.
Jiang Jie's parents' faces lit up, and the villagers looked in awe at Jiang Jie.
