Under the tree.

The workers sat on the ground in twos and threes, eating corn cakes and drinking cold drinks.

If this were placed before the end of the world, if some people were eating such things and doing such heavy hard work, they would definitely feel that this life is over and there is no hope in this life!

But for the workers at this moment, eating corn tortillas that are dry and difficult to swallow, they feel that the future is worth looking forward to.

Because they have suffered so much in the last days, they feel satisfied with a little benefit.

Being able to eat for free and get points, in their opinion, such a good thing is simply not a good thing!

........

Away from the crowd, under a big tree about a hundred meters away from the trench excavation.

Two people sit facing each other and eat food.

"Brother Feng, it would be great if we could do this kind of work every day!" A skinny young man said to another bald man.

The bald man took a sip of cold water, picked up the corn dregs that fell on his pants and put them in his mouth.

"The better the trading market develops, the more work we will have to do."

"What are you doing?"

Brother Feng saw that the skinny young man had only eaten half of the tortillas, so he stuffed the remaining tortillas into a cloth bag.

His brows furrowed, "Xiao Bing, don't leave it to your sister. The work here at the construction site is so heavy. You won't be able to last long without eating. You still have points to earn. You can get them when you get off work.

Then you can just use the points to buy food for her."

The young man whom the bald man called Xiao Bing scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I have a small appetite and I'm full."

The bald man's eyes widened, "Eat up! How can you do your work in the afternoon if you don't finish up!"

"If you can't hold on for a few days, you will be kicked out later. If you carry on and get sick, you won't be able to afford to go to the hospital!"

When the young man heard this, he felt that what the bald man said made sense.

So I took out the half piece of tortilla from the cloth bag and ate it in small bites.

The tortillas were dry, but a little sweet.

He cherishes the food in his hands and remembers that he and his little sister almost died three years ago.

That day, the wind howled, as if the heaven and earth were collapsing.

They huddled in a small room and looked at the storm outside the window in horror.

Huddled up in dirty, damp bedding.

Not only did they have to worry about the zombies outside discovering them, but they also had not eaten for five or six days and were almost starving to death.

When he was most hungry, he even started to walk around, which was a sign of death.

An owl flew in from the rain.

Hit him in front of him.

Like a gift from God.

At that moment, he burned with hope of living.

It didn't even tear off the fur, but bit the owl's neck directly and sucked the blood.

With his mouth full of feathers, he ate the raw meat one bite at a time.

After drinking the blood, the two shared the owl.

Not even the internal organs were spared.

Eating that owl allowed them to survive the most difficult moment.

Later, during the flood, some snakes and frogs came to the first floor where they were soaked.

They just ate this kind of food and survived until the flood was over.

He was very grateful, grateful to God for his gift.

Even though he lived such a miserable life.

To be honest, at the moment he was about to die, he cursed God, why did he let his brother and sister suffer like this?

After that experience, he never gave up on living again.

No matter how hard it is, is it still difficult at that time?

People who have died once cherish life very much and live every day as if they are earned.

Enjoy suffering.

After finishing a whole tortilla in small bites, he burped.

There was a bright smile on his face.

“This taco is so delicious!”

Brother Bald Feng said with a smile: "You kid, you have never eaten good food. When we accumulate more points, I will treat you to..."

Before he finished speaking, the bald man suddenly stood up, picked up the hoe beside him, and rushed towards the young man.

"Brother Feng, you..."

"Fuck you!"

Brother Feng went down with his hoe, and the zombie behind Xiaobing fell to the ground.

The hoe's handle hit the zombie's head with such force that it fell to the ground.

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

With a bald head and bare arms, he hit the zombie's head hard with his hoe, and he would curse every time he swung it.

The head of the zombie on the ground turned into a pile of mud under his heavy blow.

There was no more movement.

"Be careful, a zombie suddenly ran out of the bushes behind you and scared me." The bald man put down the hoe and said to Xiao Bing.

Xiaobing looked at the zombie on the ground with lingering fear, raised his head and looked at the bald head and said:

"Thank you, Brother Feng. If it weren't for you, I might be dead."

"Say this..." Brother Feng waved his hand.

Looking at the bushes behind Xiaobing, he frowned and said, "You can't rest here, it's too dangerous."

At this moment, the supervisor from the opposite side came over.

"Work has started, didn't you hear? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"Who told you to rest here? Didn't they tell you not to leave the crowd?"

Two questions in a row,

Brother Feng, who was so domineering just now, now became embarrassed.

"Well, Brother Liu, I'm sorry, it's too hot under the sun, so I just wanted to find a cool place to rest."

The supervisor looked at the zombies on the ground and frowned:

"Anyway, please be careful. If there are guards watching the place, don't stay there and have to run here.

If you wander around in a place like this, you will not be compensated for being bitten by a zombie!"

"Next to the main road, that row of trees is reserved for you to rest. You have to come here. It's really a pain in the ass!"

The supervisor cursed a few words and then turned around.

"Hurry up and get started. I don't want to deduct your points. If you keep doing this, I will really deduct your points!"

He muttered and said:

"If someone in my group is bitten by a zombie, I will be criticized as a damn model..."

"Thank you, Brother Liu. Brother Liu, we will definitely listen to you." Xie Feng nodded quickly to please.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Xie Feng is fierce, he has no temper with supervisors.

Supervisors can deduct an appropriate amount of points earned by workers for the day based on their performance, such as being lazy, leaving the team without permission, digging without listening to instructions, etc.

In the eyes of ordinary survivors, points are food, and food is life.

The small supervisors are able to control the lives of low-level survivors like them.

When Xie Feng and Xiaobing returned to the construction site with hoes, the workers on the construction site had already started work.

"Go to work quickly and don't leave my sight during the next break. This is for your own good!" the supervisor said.

Xie Feng and Xiaobing nodded vigorously and ran over to dig with their hoes in hand.
