Chapter 14: Get Ready

"They asked for all this."

One of Jed's men muttered. Jed felt very uncomfortable at this moment, because there was no need for such a conflict. As long as everyone could talk well and were willing to make changes and concessions, they could continue to coexist peacefully.

The situation outside was still very bad. Jed was now worried that people from other gangs would come over, but Gene said last night that such worries were unnecessary. No one would act rashly when the situation was unclear.

Now those who planned to attack Gene were still preparing in an alley. What Jed and his men needed to do was to continue to contain them. There was another explosion behind them.

However, Jed was not surprised by the explosion this time, because the people in the planting group had been thoroughly organized and came towards them. They seemed to be determined to unite with the gang next door to kill them.

Jed immediately ordered his men to prepare to move. Now they could no longer stay here. If they continued to stay, they would be surrounded.

"Run to the left and lure them over."

Li Chu's voice came from the radio, and Jed immediately ran with his men. Gunshots were heard from behind from time to time. The people in the planting group and some gang members had united to surround them.

Under Li Chu's guidance, Jed and his men soon entered a house. Li Chu warned them not to go out.

There was a whistling sound, and at this moment, black objects in the sky were thrown towards the crowd.

Jed looked solemnly. This thing that looked like a water ball exploded immediately after falling into the crowd, bursting with flames, and then black smoke and dust rose up. For a while, many people hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, but soon someone screamed in pain, and then began to vomit.

The black smoke and dust spread in the neighborhood and soon spread to the surroundings. Many people who inhaled this smoke and dust had problems without exception. Many people screamed in pain, especially those around the explosives.

This morning, I saw Gene and his men making these things, but I didn't expect them to be poisonous. Although there was nothing wrong with this approach, Jed was still a little entangled in his heart.

There was a strong sound of gunfire. Jed just looked over and found that a small leader and his men looked like they wanted to retreat. Jed immediately ordered his men on their retreat route to move closer.

At this time, there were more than 20 corpses lying next to the bell tower where Deguna was. This group of people no longer had the courage to approach the bell tower. They suffered several losses, and a small leader also died. The people who were still alive were retreating slowly and orderly.

They knew that if they continued to fight, the casualties would only be more severe. Soon many people retreated to the northern block. Many of them looked very frightened and had no intention of continuing to fight.

The entire gang had more than half of their casualties, and many people were injured to varying degrees. Jed had already started to counterattack in the block with his men.  Many people in the planting group raised their hands and surrendered obediently at this time.

The situation began to stabilize, and some of the gang members who escaped also fell in the shooting from behind. Jed quietly looked at the corpses all over the street, and dozens of people from the planting group who were kneeling on the ground with their hands on their heads. They were all saying some nice things.

"Mr. Angus, please let us go."

The bald head of the planting group begged, his leg was injured and blood was still flowing. Many people seemed extremely terrified at this moment. They were the culprits who led this incident.

Jed was still hesitating, and at this time, accompanied by a gunshot, Jed saw the guy in front of him had his head blown up and lay on the ground motionless.

"Who fired the gun."

Deguna walked over slowly.

"Once there is a betrayer, it is not trustworthy. Even if you use force to make them surrender for a while, they will still betray you."

Jed just wanted to stop it, but his men couldn't bear it anymore. When these people came here in the past, they gave a lot of help, but now they have turned against each other, and 9 of Jed's men have died.

Bang Bang

The gunshots rang out, and after continuous gunshots, one person after another fell in a pool of blood. Jed turned his back to them and said nothing, because he couldn't say it out loud. Such a thing was too cruel.

Soon, the people in the labor group came over one after another, and many people cheered, but many people looked very bad at this moment, because the whole block had completely changed. Jed didn't say anything, but directly told them that those who were willing to stay would continue to be assigned work, and those who were unwilling could take food to other blocks.

Gene stood quietly at the side of the cafe, and Deguna in front of him laughed.

"In the past, we hesitated like this guy."

Gene hummed. It was because of the hesitation in the past that many problems were caused. Now they know very well that if they don't deal with things, Jed and his friends will die in the future.

But the people in the work group were obviously dissatisfied, because such a large-scale bloody conflict was not what they wanted to see, and some people decided to leave immediately. The gangs in the next block had not been completely wiped out, and if they joined forces with other gangs to seek revenge, the entire block would not be at peace.

Now what Jed and the others need to do is to integrate the blocks again as soon as possible and then start to allocate some work. Jed hopes that Gene and the others will help.

"This is how people are, Jed. We have seen too many such things along the way. No matter what, conflicts are inevitable. People will definitely have disputes over some things in such an apocalypse."

At this time, many motorcycles were coming from all directions on the block, and gangs from other areas of the city were coming. Soon, a large number of people with weapons arrived in front of the cafe.

"Remember, remember the agreement we made? Anyone who causes problems will get out."

One of the leaders said, and the other leaders also directly echoed. Jade nodded and began to explain the situation, but it was obvious that such a thing was meaningless to other gangs, because their purpose was to make Jade Get out of this area.

Of course Jade has thought about this outcome a long time ago, but now there is nothing he can do about it.

"Give us some time, I will reorganize this neighborhood and then leave with people. Is that okay?"

Jade asked, and the leaders who came over soon nodded.

"Remember Jade, I'll give you a month and then you leave."

Watching the leaders leave one by one, Jade did not intend to stay any longer, because the situation here was already deteriorating. Not only them, but other gangs were also constantly at odds and playing tricks. If this continues, the city will always be in trouble. One day it will completely collapse.

But the question now is where to go, which Jade has not thought about yet.

"I have a proposal, Jed."

Gene came over and explained to Jed their journey and that they wanted to use the planting land to cultivate some seeds, including improvement, which would take a certain amount of time. Jed nodded and agreed, maybe if he went with these people , can see the future of mankind, and everything today is enough to prove the power of the eight of them.

The neighborhood was extremely quiet that night. Many people even left overnight with their belongings and went to other neighborhoods. As long as they had some food and supplies in their hands, they could survive. This was a top priority for many people.

Because today's situation was beyond everyone's expectation, that gentle Jade would suddenly take action.

Some people in the working group supported Jed's approach, but many people still found it unbelievable that after killing those in the planting group, who would farm the land in the future.

The neighborhood fell into complete silence all night, and there were even very few lights because today's fighting destroyed the electrical facilities in some places.

Early the next morning, Gene and Deguna took people to start repairs, while Witte and Ellie went to the farmland. They needed to see the specific situation in the farmland.

"No way."

Witte looked at the soil samples under the microscope. He had already looked at several soil samples. Jed on the side was a little surprised.

"Mr. Witte, do you mean that this planting land is no longer viable?"

Vit nodded and spoke.

The content of microorganisms in the soil has dropped sharply, which is a precursor to the death of the land. There is nothing that can be done in this situation, because they did not take good care of the land when they planted it, and the land died little by little due to rough treatment. of.

Witte deduced that within a few months, there would be a large-scale reduction in production in this planting area. Witte also explained a lot of things. Now they want to use the seeds in hand to cultivate some fresh high-yield crops. As long as they do this You can go to the next suitable place, reclaim a piece of land, and then start planting on a large scale.

All this was a bit incredible to Jed. Everything these eight people said was so orderly, and Jed was willing to leave with them.

Jade thought about it all night last night. It was probably the attitude of many people in the area that gave him the idea of ​​​​leaving because they were too powerful. He had done so much for them and let the neighborhood have more people. They wanted a good life and order, but in the end they were treated like this. Almost half of the people in the neighborhood left, and few people stayed. Some of the people who stayed seemed to have other ideas.

Jed decided to help Gene and the others seriously last night, and then left with Gene and the others. After they left, there would definitely be gangs taking over the neighborhood, but Jed didn't care anymore. He saw this matter clearly. Lots of stuff.

At Witte's request, Jed asked his men to find some corresponding things, and then prepared to build a small biological laboratory on the edge of the farmland.

At this time, some people from the work group came over, including Li Nan, who shot and killed someone. Many of them came here to get some food.

"Mr. Jed is sorry, we..."

"Don't say anything. You are free to leave here if you want. I won't stop you. Bring them some food."

Jed shouted, but his men were obviously not happy. Jed shouted again, and then his men started to move. Almost all the hundreds of people in the original planting team had run away, and many of them went directly to the next door. neighborhood, with the remaining gang members.

Jade has already asked more than 20 of his men to guard the border between the two districts. The enemy will not attack for the time being. Maybe they will wait until they leave before coming. Jade is clear about this. They suffered heavy losses in yesterday's battle, whether it is personnel or ammunition and weapons.

"By the way, there is one thing I hope you can pay attention to, Mr. Jade."

Li Nan said.

"What is it?"

Li Nan hesitated for a moment and said.

"They want revenge."

Jade nodded and then asked in a low voice.

"Where did you hear it from?"

Li Nan said that a friend in the next district told them in person this morning that they had reached some kind of agreement with some other gangs. They are very likely to attack on a larger scale. Now it is just in the preparation stage.

"Just leave."

Witt said, Jed was a little surprised. In the afternoon, Jed told Gene and the others about the matter. After thinking for a while, Gene and the others decided to leave directly, taking some things needed for research, and then leaving directly. They can directly modify some cars and make some chemical batteries.

Deguna and Gene both decided that it was too dangerous to stay any longer. Now they had to prepare everything in a short time and then leave in the dark.

Gene and Deguna took Jed's men out of the city. There were many abandoned cars outside the city. They needed at least 10 cars and two trucks because there were many things they needed for research later.

Jed's men had a total of 36 people, and with Gene, there were more than 40 people. As for the other people in the area, there was no way out. Many people should have heard the news and then began to evacuate overnight. After all, no one wanted to be involved in a large-scale firefight again.

"Mr. Gene, is everything we do really meaningful?"

Jed asked, and Gene shook his head.

"I don't know either. If you didn't do this before, you would have died."

Jed hummed. They had to prepare everything as quickly as possible, and everyone worked hard.

Witt seemed a little helpless, because he had planned to build a biological laboratory today, but when he heard what Li Nan said, he felt something was wrong.

At this time, in the next block, gang leaders from other blocks were discussing how to deal with Jed and his gang. They had reached an agreement and would soon take action to kill Jed and his gang.
