Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

In just a short while, these people had vividly demonstrated human nature, making Hua Lao Han shake his head and sigh inwardly.

This is human nature; once it involves themselves, everyone turns selfish and self-reliant.

It can be understood, but not condoned.

"Enough," after listening for a while, Hua Lao Han's patience ran out. It would have been better to head home early rather than spending time here.

With a gloomy expression, he looked coldly at everyone, especially those who couldn't understand.

This aura of Hua Lao Han was still very intimidating; immediately, no one dared to speak.

"I'm the village chief of Hua Village, and it's my decision. I've said there's no space, and that's it. Talking more is pointless. Have I given you all the illusion that I'm a nice person?" As he said this, Hua Lao Han squinted his eyes, the coldness in his gaze swept over everyone, making it impossible for them to look directly at him.

Some people started regretting, wondering why they couldn't control their foul mouths.

When asking someone for help, shouldn't one be more pleading instead of saying useless things?

Now that they had angered the village chief of Hua Village, it seemed even more hopeless.

"That's not how it is, Village Chief Hua, you've misunderstood. We just wanted to follow you, and in our hurry, said something unreasonable. We're all simple folks, please don't take offense..." someone began attempting to salvage the situation.

"Those words are true; indeed, we're all simple folks. Simple people are straightforward and blunt, just like this village chief of mine. I do everything based on my preferences, and I am merely an ordinary person without any significant abilities. Saving you was just coincidental and lucky. I don't expect your gratitude, just as long as you don't resent me. Additionally, people naturally have close associations and distant ones. I am familiar with the village chief of Li Village, which is something you shouldn't envy."

"Village Chief Hua..."

"Alright, no matter how it is, saving you is also a fate, let's consider it as the final good deed. From now on... the food found in the animal cave, I won't keep a single grain, it's all divided among you. With these food and seeds, you should be able to catch the next planting season when you return. Be careful, surviving won't be difficult."

"Really?" someone exclaimed in delight.

The reason they wanted to rely on Hua Village was because they didn't have food, returning meant death, and they were looking for a way out.

Now, with food and seeds, the worries suddenly decreased a lot, and some began to give up on their previous thoughts.

They had no choice but to give up!

Looking at the men from Hua Village glaring at them, they dared not!

Especially when they saw the shining large knives in their hands, some even had traces of blood on them.

"Of course, it's late now, anyone who wants food should quickly get in line."

Hua Lao Han was running out of patience, he couldn't keep wasting time here.

Upon hearing this, they dared not delay; whether able-bodied or not, everyone quickly lined up.

At least with food seeds, they could endure for a while.

Over two thousand catties of food and more than one thousand catties of seeds, Hua Lao Han was true to his word, not holding back at all, and divided it all among these people.

More than fifty people, including children, were each given several catties of seeds. Hua Lao Han lost interest in the subsequent matters after distributing the food and tidied up their belongings, preparing to descend the mountain.

It was when his gaze fell on a lone, disabled man that Hua Lao Han called over Hua Qiang.

He had a good impression of this person, who, despite showing hopeful eyes wishing to join Hua Village, was upright. Hua Lao Han had heard what he said.

For such a person, Hua Lao Han was willing to lend a helping hand.

The most important thing was that with so much food, once they left, this man might not be able to hold onto it.

The man showed an expression of delight. Despite being unable to move, he bowed deeply towards Hua Lao Han, full of gratitude.

However, before descending the mountain, one thing had to be done—free the women and children who had been bound earlier.

Otherwise, after they left, these people might not be able to survive.

The rest would be up to their fate.

After releasing the women and children an hour later, Hua Lao Han and his group left the mountain with Li Village and the limping man Liu Kai.

Some chose to rest for several days on the mountain, recovering as best as they could. After all, given their current physical state, they couldn't walk far.

Naturally, some chose to leave with them, their purpose obvious, and Hua Lao Han and his group did not stop them, as long as they could keep up.

The answer was, of course, they couldn't keep up; they were lagging far behind within an hour down the mountain, quickly disappearing from sight.

After descending, Li Village Chief led the way.

They were heading to Li Village first.

As for Liu Kai, his opinion was asked. Learning that his Shangrao Village was not far from Li Village, they decided to bring him along, sparing the trouble of sending someone to Shangrao Village specifically.

The entire journey was six to seven li, and everyone's speed was fast, taking only a little over half an hour.

The result was unsurprising, only Li Village Chief and a few rugged men returned. With their scars and the sight of their family members never returning, the people of Li Village were immersed in grief and madness.

Fortunately, Li Village Chief held enough authority, and the villagers who learned the cause understood their fate, though they bore grievances. Even the village chief's two sons and a granddaughter never returned.

Additionally, the village had found a new safe place for them to live. Despite the grief, they gathered their spirit and packed their belongings.

After all, those who had left were gone, those living had to carry on, especially those with children at home.

No one in Li Village opposed; the elders were elderly, the young too small, and there were less than forty able-bodied men among them. Protecting their village was too difficult.

Hua Village was different; the men seen were far stronger, and Hua Village was originally a large village, renowned as one of the formidable villages around, and they wholeheartedly wished for it.

The items were few, making packing quick. In no time, the old and young of Li Village, carrying their ragged bundles, set off with Hua Village.

From that moment, there was no more Li Village, they became people of Hua Village.

This was the last sentence Li Village Chief tearfully told everyone before departure.

Next was Shangrao Village.

As they approached Shangrao Village, Liu Kai, who had hesitated all the way, finally decided to make one last effort.

He still wanted to go with Village Chief Hua and the others. Although Shangrao Village still had over a dozen households surviving, it faced the same predicament as Li Village, lacking strong manpower. More importantly, Shangrao Village was scattered and completely ununited. Even with a village chief, people cared for themselves. Thinking of his three children, Liu Kai decided to try again.

Being carried and sitting up, he swallowed his shame and shouted toward Hua Lao Han at the front.

"Village Chief Hua..."

Hua Lao Han halted, his gaze directed at Liu Kai.

"Village Chief Hua... I..." The proud man blushed with shame, "I... I know I shouldn't bring this up again, but Village Chief Hua, I still wish to bring my family and follow the chief..."
