#539 - Chapter 539 Eight Demons

August 13th.

Night.

The weather remains unchanged, the temperature still hovering at the same level.

Apart from being wary of going out during the day, the survivors are doing relatively well.

Silently lying in wait for rain and a drop in temperature.

The outer edges of the Green Zone.

Over a thousand survivors are entrenched here.

Since Green Source tightened its grip on absorbing manpower and trade, and after almost all the supplies in Fenghe County were swept clean, most of the original four to five thousand survivors here left, leaving just over two thousand.

These survivors value the safe atmosphere and certain order here more.

Moreover, some time ago, Green Source mercifully absorbed women and children into the small residential area and opened up a policy where clean water could be exchanged using transaction points.

This relieved many teams with families and relatives.

There was hope for survival.

Today.

Inside a civilian house outside the Green Zone, four men are holed up, bored, talking and chatting to kill time.

"I wonder how Xiao An and the others are doing inside? I miss them a bit."

Pan Wei lay on the cleaned cement floor, not caring about the sand and dirt still on it, and lay there bare-chested to cool off.

There are many ways to cool down in the apocalypse.

For example, taking advantage of the night to dig up some soil and sand and bring it back indoors, so that during the hot daytime, you can cover yourself with the sand and soil to isolate yourself from the heat in the air.

It also has a certain moisturizing effect to prevent excessive evaporation of sweat.

In short, burying yourself.

Compared to being dirty, cooling down is more important.

"They must be living better than us inside! Don't worry, brother, I think it's better to worry about ourselves."

Pan Wei's younger brother also took off his shirt, leaving only his underwear, and lay in the sand on the other side to cool off, while not forgetting to reply to his brother's concern.

What's there to worry about his sister-in-law and nephew in the Green Source small residential area?

Undoubtedly, the treatment and benefits are definitely better than them here.

His brother is just worrying blindly because he hasn't seen them for too long.

It has been more than half a month since they sent the women and children of the team into the small residential area, and they went to visit them once during that time.

Pan Wei's wife told them that everything was fine inside, and there was a good thing that the Green Source base held a dinner the previous night, allowing everyone to have a full meal!

Pan Xing was envious!

His sister-in-law and nephew actually received such benefits as soon as they entered, which is enviable beyond words.

They are not sure why Green Source only accepts women and children, and excludes men like them.

But there is no way, they make the decisions there, and they can only choose to accept it.

"We still have some water, and we should be able to last more than a month if we drink it sparingly. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Residential Area 7 and ask A-Ting for some water. There shouldn't be any problem surviving this drought."

Pan Wei is very confident in surviving this drought.

Because although they were not invited into the small residential area, they also exchanged a lot of clean water with transaction points.

It is much better than those survivors who do not have transaction points and do not have enough water stored.

You know, recently, people have started asking around for water.

Undoubtedly, many people are starting to run out of water.

Of course, they can only politely refuse these people who are borrowing water. There is no way, they don't know when the drought will end, how dare they lend out life-saving things?

It is said to be borrowed, but it is unknown whether it will be returned in the future, and the water source may only be temporarily scarce and precious. After it rains, it is estimated that it will become worthless again.

It's a pity that no one is willing to exchange food for water with them, otherwise they would really dare to exchange a little.

Because at worst, they can go to the small residential area to ask their relatives for a little water.

It is said that those staying inside can have their own drinking water quota every day, and if they can't finish drinking it, they can also use something to store it, and it will not be forbidden to give it to these family members outside.

It can be considered very conscientious.

Inside the room.

The four men were chatting and talking boringly. The sun outside was so harsh during the day that they couldn't stay for long. At night, there were some sporadic zombies appearing. Only those human survivors with courage dared to go out to find supplies.

Generally, people will not go out unless they are desperate.

"By the way, today I found that the three survivors living next to us, a few buildings away, made no sound. We called out but there was no response. Could they have left here and gone outside?"

During the chat, Pan Wei's younger brother, Pan Xing, suddenly mentioned something.

These survivors living outside the Green Zone generally have some 'neighbors' around them because of the large number of people.

Everyone occasionally meets and greets each other, exchanging some information that can be communicated, so that everyone can increase their chances of survival.

What Pan Xing mentioned was a group of survivors living next to them.

"Are you talking about Wang Fujian and the others? Could it be that they are resting and can't hear us? Where can they go at this time? Their relatives have also entered the small residential area. It stands to reason that they won't leave. Could it be that they don't have enough water and food and have to go out to try their luck?"

Pan Wei asked doubtfully.

He also knows those neighbor survivors. The other party also values the orderly environment here and sent their relatives to the small residential area with them some time ago.

It stands to reason that they are not much different from them and can use transaction points to exchange for water. They shouldn't be dying of thirst, right?

This is just an ordinary topic, and the four people in the room did not continue to investigate.

In the apocalypse, it is too normal for neighbors to disappear.

It is normal to be eaten by zombies or leave for various reasons.

Unless survivors know each other well, they will not trust others or become one with them at will.

It is the right way to live your own life well.

The disappearance of the neighbors did not surprise Pan Wei and Pan Xing too much.

——————————

At this time.

Not far from the small building where Pan Wei and the others live, in the residence of the neighbors they had just talked about, a cruel scene is unfolding!

These eight men are like demons, capturing their target!

"Another one."

One of the men had a morbid smile on his face. In front of him was a prey placed on the table!

"Indeed! We were too wasteful before. It turns out that the best thing is this!"

"Let's collect more meat pigs and keep them in our house to enjoy slowly!"

Bald Mouse also had a messy mouth, revealing teeth covered with blood, and let out an extremely eerie smile.

They are actually the group of people from Longmen County!

The 'neighbors' they knew around the settlements in Longmen County have all been visited.

Then, Fenghe County, which is not far away, still has many survivors here.

They used to stay near here and know that there are many survivors here who want to join Green Source.

You only need to look at where there is fire at night, and that place must be a delicious 'water bag'!

The eight men laughed morbidly.

Standing in the room, they are like eight demons from hell.
