Chapter 211: Staying in the Ural Mountains, a Pregnant Woman Kindly Helps
Two months later-
Someday in April.
Even though it is spring, there is still heavy snow in Siberia. This is a characteristic of this region, but many people do not like this characteristic.
The second collapse - it brought hunger and panic to the people who were still surviving here, and it turned the land here into a worthless graveyard.
No one is willing to do a proper job here. Those who have weapons either rob or form their own gangs. The value of food is pushed to the highest level. You can even sell your food at ten times the price outside, or barter it.
Fate has abandoned the people of Siberia, and their country has also abandoned them. Not many people would risk their lives for a few unrelated lives. The same is true for Jiang Ming. The reason why he stays here is because there are a few people who have some relationship with him.
Even though so much time has passed, there are still groups of Honkai beasts remaining in various parts of Siberia. Although Tianming has sent Valkyrie mecha troops here to clear them out, sometimes they do not win more than they lose.
Jiang Ming has been here for more than two months, but he does not feel bored. His strength ensures that he will not be in any danger, and the food and tools he has stored will not make him feel hungry or cold.
And, luckily...he has found the person he wants to find. All he has to do now is wait for the right time and a little...heartfelt acting.
..............
Siberia, Ural Mountains.
After repeated and careful confirmation, Jiang Ming, carrying a huge backpack, came to a temporary residence.
Judging from the architectural style, it seems to be a public building, and it is a bit far-fetched to call it a residential building. The whole house is made of wood. Although it is a bit simple, it can withstand the wind and snow in early spring.
The wind scratched the eyelids like a knife, making it difficult to open the eyes. Jiang Ming did not create a barrier around himself to resist the wind and snow as he did before. At least now, he had to be like an ordinary person and could not do some things too drastically.
dong dong——
"who!?"
Jiang Ming knocked lightly on the door with his fingers, and soon a not very friendly voice came from the house. But it was true that in a place like this where everyone was in danger and even in chaos, one should be alert if a stranger suddenly knocked on the door.
"Ah, hello, my name is Jiang Ming, I'm from Shenzhou, I escaped here by accident, you guys should be the same, right? Can I stay here for a while?"
There was silence inside the door for a while, and then a slight quarrel was heard. The sound was indeed very small, but as a Herrscher, Jiang Ming's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. The slight discussion in the room was heard by Jiang Ming word for word.
There appeared to be three people in the house, two men and one woman.
"Alexandra, are you really going to let him in? You have to be aware of your current situation. Letting a stranger in is dangerous! We can't trust any strangers at this time!"
"Well, I agree with Maxim. The remaining food and medicine are only enough to support the three of us. Letting another person in now will undoubtedly cause trouble for you. Besides, we will be leaving in a while. Who knows what he will do?"
"...But, he sounded young, not like a bad guy, and he said he was from Shenzhou. I heard from my husband that Shenzhou people are the most trustworthy and will repay a favor. Maybe he can help us in some way? And...didn't you say you would be leaving soon? He can just take care of me."
"You trust him so much? You are so optimistic."
There were three voices, two were strong and one was weak but firm.
Jiang Ming raised his voice when he heard this.
"I know you may not believe me, but I have some food and tools... and weapons. I am willing to provide them. Maybe they can help you. I just hope you can let me stay here temporarily."
Jiang Ming's voice was trembling, as if he was going to freeze to death in the next second, and sounded very pitiful.
Finally, after another half minute of discussion, the people in the room were finally willing to let him in. The two men were rather burly and both came from military backgrounds. Jiang Ming immediately thanked them.
"thank you all!"
"Don't thank us yet, Maxime."
"Ah."
The man called Maxim nodded and looked at Jiang Ming with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Jiang Ming, right? Excuse me, we need to search you to make sure you don't have any weapons that could threaten us. We also need to check your backpack."
"Of course, thank you very much for letting me stay here." Jiang Ming opened his arms and nodded, as if he was willing to let them check him.
The two looked at each other, one went to check his backpack, and the other searched Jiang Ming's body, but they did not find any dangerous weapons. Instead, they found two pistols, nearly a hundred rounds of corresponding bullets, and vegetables that can be preserved for a long time such as potatoes, carrots, and beets in the backpack. Finally, there were some basic tools or clothes that can be used to survive in harsh environments, and even various precious medicines!
In such a difficult place, food is of course the top priority, but if you want to keep the food, strength is even more of a priority. The pistol must have helped him a lot. The second thing is the medicine that can ensure that nothing happens to the body.
“There are quite a lot of things…”
Vladimir narrowed his eyes, his mind racing: There are so many things, but they were not robbed... Is it because of good luck... or because of too much strength?
Thinking of this, he and Maxim looked at each other again. After confirming that there was nothing dangerous, he continued to look at Jiang Ming and said.
"Okay, we can let you stay here temporarily, but the premise is that you have to share all those things. Of course, we won't let you starve. Your things are very important to us. By the way, is there anything you can do?"
"Well, I can use a gun and I'm pretty strong. I can cook all the food and medicine in the backpack. Just take them and give them to those in need."
After Jiang Ming's brief explanation, both Maxim and Vladimir were a little less wary of him. However, whether they could fully accept Jiang Ming still needed further observation.
Maxim and the other man walked into a room further inside, apparently wanting to check the contents of his backpack further. After Jiang Ming entered the room, he simply wiped the snow off his head with a towel, but then he heard the faint female voice again.
"Haha, didn't I tell you that? He must be able to help us in some way."
"It's just the beginning. We still need to observe him further. You should also know that if this is not the place arranged by destiny, they dare not take further risks. Otherwise, more people would have come to rob him."
Jiang Ming followed the sound and walked to the room. At first glance, he set his eyes on the beautiful woman lying on the bed.
