Chapter 343

"As long as you can do it, the door to the ideal town will be open to you!"

The heads of the Highlands in the room looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Terman who was sitting in the middle.

Noticing the gazes of his own people, Telman secretly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. In his opinion, the situation was already clear. Now they had many people and little food, lacked weapons and ammunition, and there was a large group of zombies approaching step by step not far away. It could be said that the situation had pushed them into a desperate situation.

This deadlock has compressed the scope of their negotiations to the limit. On the contrary, the other side has only a dozen people, plus two powerful cars, so they can leave here at any time.

He really wanted to propose some conditions, but considering his current situation, he really couldn't open his mouth.

His head ached slightly. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. His chaotic brain seemed to slow down his thinking. He pinched his thigh secretly, and the sharp pain made Telman feel a little more awake.

"Mr. Lu, first of all, I want to thank you for your help. Johnny has made a great contribution to us. No one wants him to get into trouble. I believe you are sincere about this, but you also have to understand that there are 316 people in the Highland Community now. This decision will affect their future lives and even their lives. We have to be cautious."

Listening to the other party's words, Lu Jiayi didn't think anything of it and nodded with understanding.

"Of course, I respect your ideas. I admire what you have done, Louis. I am not afraid to tell you that since the outbreak of the apocalypse, too many things have happened. We have also witnessed all kinds of beauty and ugliness in human nature. This makes us dare not trust any stranger easily. The reason why I invited you is also out of humanitarianism. I don't want to see our kind being forced to flee by those monsters."

"Of course, we are not fools. We will not easily take you back when we don't know you at all. However, if you want to survive well in the doomsday, or even develop, the most important resource is people. In order to vigorously develop the base, we have rebuilt a settlement in another place. Once you agree to join us, you will live in the new base for a long time. This will give both of us a buffer time and strengthen our understanding of each other."

Following Lu Jiayi's introduction, the management of the Highland Community all began to have shining eyes, and a buzz of discussion was heard in the conference room. Several people in the front row talked to several people behind them and exchanged opinions with each other. Finally, an old man who looked to be about sixty years old whispered a few words to Telman.

"Mr. Lu, we agree to join you and hope you will keep your promise."

"nature."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two hands were clasped together.

…

Since the meeting between the two sides ended, the survivors of the Highland Community have started to get busy. The migration of more than 300 people was nothing before the end of the world, but it is not an easy task now. Not only do they have to carry personal belongings, but they also have to consider the carrying capacity of the vehicles. Now that fuel is scarce, the Highland Community really can't come up with a few vehicles that can be used to transport people.

Lu Jiayi stood in the central square of the community, looking at the busy crowd. Those pale and thin faces were swaying in front of him, and bursts of strange smells wafted over, coming from these people.

Some people may ask, why would this happen when they are guarding a river?

Even if they were guarding the river, they couldn't go directly to the river to take a bath, because zombies were often washed ashore in the river, so the community and the river bank needed to be separated, so they had to go to the river to get water for daily use.

Since we need to get water, we need to use manpower.

These people can’t even get enough food to eat, how much water can we expect them to bring?

In the original drama, there was a canal outside the prison fence. With the water source so close, Rick and his crew only took some daily drinking water each time. On weekdays, they would just pour some water to wash their faces or wipe them.

In fact, Lu Jiayi didn't think anything of it, but the people behind him were surprised by the miserable appearance of these people, even Daryl couldn't help it.

"Have you ever thought about growing some food for yourself?"

It would have been better if it hadn't been mentioned. Once the topic came to this, not only Telman, but also several managers behind him blushed. The elderly man thought he had a thicker skin, so he started to explain.

"We really didn't think about it at first. Later, when food became harder and harder to find, someone suggested growing some crops. We then discovered that none of the people had experience in this area. We did grow some, but they either died or didn't bear fruit. Later, when the weather turned cold, we didn't dare to waste food on experiments, so we had to give up."

Everyone looked at him in silence, and the old man blushed. Even though he was thick-skinned, he felt uncomfortable being stared at. Then he realized that his words seemed to make them look useless, and he quickly started to make amends.

"In fact, we just don't have experience in this area. As long as someone tells us the method, we will soon be familiar with it. Moreover, although the people here don't know how to farm, it doesn't mean they are useless. Many people have their own specialties. For example, Louis is very good at computers. He had planned to connect to the satellite to help those who went out to investigate the movements of the zombies. However, the conditions at the base were too poor and he failed."

At this point, Lu Jiayi became interested. He looked at Terman with interest. The latter now looked more like a rough man and didn't look like a computer expert at all.

"So, if the conditions are met, you can connect to the satellite and monitor the ground?"

As soon as the topic touched upon his expertise, Terman nodded and admitted without hesitation that he might not be as good as others when it came to killing zombies, but he was really confident when it came to computers.

Seeing his confident smile, Lu Jiayi nodded secretly. He was really a talented person. It happened that the military base they were going to this time had related equipment. If he could do it then, he would have another means, which would be very useful whether it was used to find people or to defend against enemies.

While both sides were busy, Rick and Wells' groups had already met up. They had received the order to withdraw long ago. As they left, the swarm of zombies that had been circling in the original place slowly turned around and continued to swarm towards the Highland Community.

In the Highland community.

Telman was overwhelmed as he looked at the five cars in front of him, and looked at Lu Jiayi awkwardly.

"I'm so sorry, these are the last few cars that can be driven. Why don't we leave on foot?"

Lu Jiayi also pretended to be distressed and thought for a long time before nodding helplessly. The next moment, the walkie-talkie on his waist suddenly made a sound.

"Sizzle... shashasha, Lu... Lu, can you hear me?... Lu, here... Rick, answer... "
