Silent silence.

A few hours ago there were ten of them, now there were only nine.

Xiaowu stayed there forever.

They walked in the direction of the trading market for an hour, and when they were only five or six kilometers away from the trading market, they headed up the mountain.

In order to avoid encountering looting thugs, they could only walk on mountain roads.

But they walked along the mountain road on the right side of the main road so that they would not get lost easily.

On the mountain road to the right of the main road, they could see the main road down the mountain.

The mountain road is difficult and rugged, and it is easy to fall if you are not careful. It is even more difficult for them to carry a hundred kilograms of vegetables.

After walking for a while, Xie Dali suddenly saw a small team appearing on the main road.

"Brother Zheng, look over there, there is someone."

Zheng Hanbing stopped and quickly said to everyone: "Hidden."

In the apocalypse, people will be wary of each other when meeting strangers.

Everyone quickly hid behind the trees and observed the small team.

Zheng Hanbing squinted his eyes and saw that there were only seven or eight people in the small team, and judging from their costumes and pushing wheelbarrows, they seemed to be an ordinary team of survivors.

It doesn't look like a robbery thug.

He thought for a long time and said, "It might be a bait. Let's leave them alone and continue on our way."

Afterwards, they climbed some distance further up the mountain and were further away from the main road.

But twenty minutes later, they were at an intersection and had to go down the mountain.

After descending this mountain, you can reach the forest on the opposite side.

There were hundreds of scattered people at the intersection, and it looked like there were at least a dozen teams.

"this....."

Feng Cheng frowned and said, "Didn't you say there were robbing thugs? Why did we encounter so many teams along the way?"

Zheng Hanbing also realized at this moment that something must have happened. When they came last time, there were not so many people who dared to walk on the road with such fanfare.

"Go down and have a look, I have to go down anyway." Zheng Hanbing made his decision.

A group of people came down from the mountain.

Suddenly a group of people came down from the mountain, attracting the attention of the survivors at the intersection.

But they just took a look and lost interest.

Seeing that they ignored him, Zheng Hanbing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dali, go find someone and ask about the situation."

Jie Dali nodded when he heard the words: "Okay."

There are still three kilometers away from the trading market. If they still walk on the mountain road, they will definitely be slower and more tired.

Now that there are so many people on this road, it seems very safe.

It can save effort, so naturally they don't want to walk so hard on the mountain road.

They looked at Xie Dali and followed a small team of four or five people. Those few people looked at Xie Dali with great caution.

Xie Dali waved his hands, smiled again, bent down again, and then took a few steps back.

He opened his mouth and murmured, not knowing what he was saying.

They were too far away to hear.

A few minutes later, they saw Jie Dali running back with joy on his face.

"Good news!"

"The Golden Tiger Gang was severely punished by the trading market a while ago. More than a hundred members of the entire gang were wiped out. Now, no one dares to rob passers-by near the trading market."

"Golden Tiger Gang?" Zheng Hanbing frowned, as if he had heard someone mention this name before.

Xie Dali explained: "As for Liu Dongdou last time, remember, the person who reminded us was the one who said that the Golden Tiger Gang was targeting us!"

"That's it!" Zheng Hanbing nodded. He thought of Liu Dongdou and the Golden Tiger Gang.

However, he was a little surprised when he thought that all the more than 100 members of the Golden Tiger Gang were killed by the trading market managers.

The thundering method is really courageous.

"Brother Zheng, it seems we don't have to take the mountain road anymore." Xie Dali said with a smile.

"Well, just follow the crowd." Zheng Hangbing put the pole on the rope, picked up the vegetables and walked forward.

Xie Dali and others followed closely behind.

After another ten minutes, we were only two kilometers away from the trading market.

The road ahead suddenly becomes crowded.

At a glance, a dense crowd of workers were digging trenches a few meters away from the main road, wielding hoes under the scorching sun.

There were even a dozen vehicles driving back and forth on the road, and the roar of the excavators was loud.

There were some armed guards scattered on both sides of the road. Judging from their clothes, it was known that these must be people from Oil City.

"Who are they?" Feng Cheng looked at this scene and was stunned.

Why dig a ditch for no reason?

It's definitely not just doing nothing, there must be some purpose.

Seeing this, Zheng Hanbing looked at Jie Dali and said, "Dali."

Before he could give any instructions, Dali put down the pole and said, "Okay, I understand."

I ran all the way over and found two small groups before I came back after asking for the reason.

Why didn't he ask the guards with guns? He didn't dare...

"What's going on?" Zheng Hanbing asked quickly as he saw Xie Dali running back.

Xie Dali said: "It is quite prescient to say that a water plant will be built in the trading market. It has not rained for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid there will be a real shortage of water in the future."

Zheng Hanbing said sadly: "It's not that there will be a shortage of water later, it's already a shortage of water now."

"If we still have spring water on the mountainside, we don't have to go down the mountain to fetch water, we don't have to sell vegetables in advance, and we don't have to make this trip."

"If it doesn't rain later, I'm afraid..."

His eyes were full of worry. More than three months without rain had already caused some water shortage problems.

If this continues, water resources will become increasingly scarce.

The crops they planted may wither without water.

In fact, if this continues, the water they drink may become a problem.

If it doesn't rain for three months, it won't be so hot if the temperature isn't so hot.

The key is that the temperature is still over 30 degrees, and water vapor evaporates very quickly.

"Let's go."

Zheng Hanbing took the lead and walked toward the trading market with a heavy load.

...

Half an hour later, they arrived at the gate of the trading market.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They lined up to enter the city and looked at the familiar entrance to the trading market. It felt like it had been a long time since they last visited.

City inspection, vegetable inspection, personnel inspection.

Hand over cold weapons...

It’s still the same entry process as before.

After their vegetables were inspected and found to be fine, they were released into the trading market.

They had just entered the trading market and on their way through the commercial district, they were surprised to find that there seemed to be many new shops in the commercial area of ​​the trading market.

...

There were still various hawking sounds on the roadside, the shops were open, and there were some street vendors outside selling vigorously.

"Mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, fresh wild vegetables, 0.45 points per pound! Buy three pounds and get half a pound free."

"Chinese herbal medicine can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis to treat colds. My mother said it is good after using it! The old Wang Guagua next door guarantees that it will be cured in one visit!"

"Straw sandals and hand-sewn cowhide shoes are on sale at great prices!"
