Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Shao Shengan bit the word "kill" very lightly, and Qiao Qingqing cooperated with him to lower his voice: "Yes, if you shoot right at the heart or forehead, you can kill people."

"No wonder you gave me a toy crossbow to play with. , This is to let me cultivate my skills first, and now I will be real." Shao Shengan couldn't help laughing and crying.

Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it boring to stay at home? I see that you, brother, and dad are all having a good time." When this thing was taken out, it was desperate to kill, and Qiao Qingqing hadn't taken it out before. , First, I want to let the family practice the technique first, and it is easier to use the toy crossbow to practice aiming at the head. Second, the order is still there, and it is not the time to use this weapon.

Until the day before yesterday, Shao Shengan used hot water to repel the intruder. Seeing the blisters on his hand, she regretted it very much.

"This crossbow is given to you, someone will bully our family in the future, don't use hot water anymore." She held Shao Shengan's hand and said apologetically, "It's my fault, I should have given you the crossbow earlier, Sheng An, I always wanted to arrange everything, but I screwed up, sorry."

"Silly Qingqing, why do you have to apologize." Shao Shengan frowned, "It's not your fault, it's the bad guys who want to invade our house. Qingqing, you don't need to apologize for the faults others have brought, in my heart, you are always right."

"You are always like this, I will be spoiled by you."

"We are husband and wife, you are me Wife, I'm not going to go to you, okay, don't think about it, I'll try this bow." Shao Shengan was in high spirits, and looked at the manual, "The range is quite long, which is really good..."

Watching her husband study Bow crossbow, Qiao Qingqing's eyes are gentle, and after a while, he said: "It was a bit troublesome to buy, so I didn't buy too many crossbow arrows. We may have to make them ourselves in the later stage. You don't have to worry about this, I will also get the production method of crossbow arrows. Now, we will use bamboo or wood to make it ourselves, and I will also buy the materials."

Shao Shengan praised his wife again, making Qiao Qingqing's face flush.

"Cough cough, I heard my parents wake up, I'll go get breakfast first. By the way, now the solar generator has enough electricity, it can load three air conditioners at the same time for one night, let's change the room back today. ." When she was sick, Sheng An came to accompany her, while her mother lived with her in-laws, which was always inconvenient.

Of course, Shao Shengan had no objection to this, and he replaced the bedding after breakfast.

"The awning that Dad built in the attic can be moved to the living room, otherwise it will be too crowded, and the air conditioner will be turned on at night, and the temperature will be high during the day. Alternating cold and heat is not good for the seeds."

"Okay, I will do it." The

awning was moved . After coming down, Qiao Qingqing praised sincerely and said that the shed looks really good. Father Shao showed a happy and contented smile: "Don't you love watermelon? I saw watermelon seeds at home. Wait for Dad to plant watermelon for you."

"I want me too!" Shao Shengfei shouted loudly, "I also grow watermelons for my parents, my mother, Qiao, my brother, and my sister!"

"Okay, I'll wait for the big brother to grow a big watermelon." For

dinner, I made cold skin with cold skin and a plate of beef with cold sauce. Qiao Qingqing took another one. The watermelon came out to be cut, and everyone gathered around the small table to eat watermelon, and they all felt that the day was not bad.

"Put away the watermelon rind, I will peel it back and cook the watermelon rind water to drink." Mother Shao said.

"Watermelon rind can be dried in the sun, and it is also delicious to make tea in the future. It can clear heat and detoxify."

Listening to Qiao Qingqing's words, Shao's mother asked her how to dry it. Qiao Qingqing smiled and said the method, and Shao's mother listened carefully. He nodded again and again, put away all the watermelon rinds after eating the watermelon, started peeling the watermelon rinds, and spread the watermelon rinds in a dustpan on the terrace before it got dark.

"Tomorrow the sun will come out and it will be dry." She said expectantly.

Qiao Songzhi looked at the sky: "Another day has passed."

"Yeah, another day has passed safely."

Sixteen days later, the flood completely receded, leaving the ground in a mess.

The ground was pitch black, with mud on the bottom, and all kinds of waste, human or animal corpses were laid on it. The water vaporized under the high temperature, and the ground gave off an unbreathable stench. When Qiao Qingqing looked down, she even felt a The floor of the building was covered with mist.

"I don't think it's dangerous to smell those water vapors too much." Qiao Qingqing told her family that she should not go out for the time being. High temperature will induce germs and emit poisonous gas, but it also has the effect of sterilization and disinfection. It is best not to go out in the family until the high temperature has thoroughly cleaned the ground. In her previous life, she went out after the flood subsided, and she came into close contact with the ground environment that had been infected by the flood and ice, and only got sick on the way.

"Understood, it's just that there is a lot of garbage at home."

"I can wear protective clothing and throw garbage." Shao Shengan said.

Qiao Qingqing refused: "Then it's better to just throw it down, everyone else does this. Yes, let's do it like this, the water level is high, and throwing the garbage directly is afraid that water will splash on the seventh floor, now it is more than ten meters high, no It will affect the downstairs."

Shao's father said he came to throw it away: "I have observed that there is garbage under the wall on the other side of the toilet, it should be thrown by 701, let's throw it there too."

In addition to kitchen waste, All the sanitary rubbish was thrown down. At a distance of more than ten meters, the rubbish made a loud noise, which startled Grandma Wang and the others.

Wang Jiaxin glanced at it: "It's okay, it's the eighth floor throwing garbage. I don't think I've ever seen them throw garbage directly like this. It seems that the garbage at home can't go down.

" ." Grandma Wang thought someone jumped off the building.

"I've lived to this point, who would be willing to die? It's better to die than to live." Wang Jiaxin said with a smile, then withdrew her smile, "I don't know when I'll be back, the water has receded, so it's time to come back." She doesn't believe that something happened to her brother, her brother will definitely come back!

As more and more people go out, Qiao Qingqing often sees people walking downstairs, turning over things on the ground with sticks, and picking them up when they find them useful.

Just like her in her previous life, everyone is trying to live.

It is too hot during the day. The most people outside are in the morning and evening, especially from 4:00 to 5:30 in the morning. At this time, the sky is slightly bright, the sun has not yet risen, and the temperature is not very high - but there are also Nearly 40 degrees Celsius. People who go out get tanned quickly, but for them, tanning is just a small thing, and getting sick is the most terrifying thing.

Among the people who went out, some people coughed while rummaging for things. The coughing sound was heart-rending. Once, Qiao Qingqing saw someone vomit and fell down. Passers-by quickly covered their mouths and noses to avoid them, and no one would stop. , and no one will come to the rescue. Everyone will take risks to find supplies, and will not take risks to help strangers they don't know and contract diseases.

Qiao Qingqing did not continue to watch, but she knew that under the sun, if no one rescued him, that person would not stand up again.

"Don't look, you can practice bow and crossbow with me, the target paper is used up." Shao Shengan drew the curtains.

"Okay, I won't look at it."

Qiao Qingqing made a bunch of new target paper for Shao Shengan, drew it carefully one by one, and finally stuck the target paper on the wooden board.

"Okay."

"You come." Shao Shengan gave her the bow and crossbow.

"Me?" She froze for a moment.

"I haven't seen you use a crossbow before, and you don't play with the toy crossbow before. From what I know about you, if you have completely mastered this skill, you hate crossbows." Shao Shengan smiled. Looking at her, "But I can see that you like it, show me your hand, I want to see it."

Holding the crossbow with some hesitation, Qiao Qingqing took a deep breath and set it up, aiming at the target on the wooden board Paper, eyes squinting slightly - the

crossbow arrow flew out, hitting the bullseye.

"Ten rings." Shao Shengan's eyes were full of surprise, and he applauded.

"Stop playing, let's practice." Qiao Qingqing put down the bow and crossbow and went forward to pull out the crossbow arrow.

Seeing her in a low mood, where is Shao Shengan still in the mood to practice? He gave the crossbow to his father, let his father practice, and followed Qiao Qingqing upstairs.

Qiao Qingqing put away her clothes and turned her head sideways: "What are you doing here?"

"There are too many clothes, I'll help." The

clothes were taken back to the room, Qiao Qingqing sat on the bed and folded clothes. Seeing that Shao Shengan didn't leave, she sat on the ground for Shao Shengfei The hole in his trousers was patched, and he couldn't help laughing: "I'm really fine, you don't have to follow me like this. If you want to know about the bow and crossbow, I can tell you, that is, don't be sad when you hear it."

Shao Shengan put down the needle and thread , Sitting upright, with a look of listening intently.

"I learned the crossbow at the Survivor Base. At that time, crows were rampant. They were a little bigger than before the end of the world. They not only eat carrion, but also have ideas about living people. In a few seconds, the crows that fell from the sky would peck him beyond recognition... The leaders of the base made up their minds to deal with those crows, recruiting people to make crossbows, and forming a crossbow team. I was not selected, the competition was too fierce, but in training After that, I learned to make a bow and crossbow by myself, and I have been doing it for a long time, and I don't even remember how long."

Qiao Qingqing said with some nostalgia, "I was really happy when I made it, and then I shot him to death. I brought two crows to eat, and they tasted very bad. They were fishy, ​​smelly, and woody. I had diarrhea when I ate the first meal, but I didn't lose the other one, so I ate it anyway. " , My skills were acquired at that time. Later, when I wanted to kill Lin Mingyong, I planned to use a bow and crossbow from a distance, but when I was eating, what he said made me nauseous, and he dared to mention me Mom... I really couldn't bear it, so I did it on the spot. If I could hold back at that time and assassinate him from behind, maybe I wouldn't be put in prison. I should be able to avoid the earthquake and not be so heavy. Hurt... I don't regret it. I can't wait to go back ten years ago. Fortunately, I died, so we meet again." Shao Shengan regretted it, and he forced a smile: "Don't say it. , blame me for reminding you of those unpleasant past events."





"No, I've already figured it out, it's all my life, I should face it rather than run away." Qiao Qingqing's expression was rather relaxed, "The topic has gone too far, I'll continue to talk to you. One day, I went out to look for supplies. There were actually many people living outside the base. They were not willing to obey the discipline of the army, but preferred to live freely outside. I saw a woman who was locked in a cage, do you think? How miserable she looked when she came out, someone grabbed her, imprisoned her, cut off her tongue, and cut off the flesh of her legs to

eat—" Hearing Shao Shengan gasping for air, Qiao Qingqing smiled bitterly: "I was real at that time. I was shocked. In fact, I heard people say that there would be such a thing before, but it was the first time I saw it. What made me even more unacceptable was that she was pregnant, she was very thin and haggard, but her belly was not It's very big. That scene, like hell, I wanted to save her, but someone came in before I opened the lock. I was lying on the roof carefully, watching those people cut off her arm again... Those people left , I know that I can't save her, I can't take her away, she can't speak, she opens her mouth and speaks silently, using the only remaining intact hand to compare her heart, she asked me to kill her.

" Qingqing..."

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Qingqing spoke very quickly: "I killed her and pierced her heart with my homemade bow and arrows made of bamboo pieces, she smiled at me, and at the end she was still looking at her. I laughed. When I got back to the base, I saw Lin Mingyong...I saw the darkest human nature. When Lin Mingyong found me, I really expected him to warm me, but he only brought more How dark... Sheng An, every time I see a crossbow, I think of that scene."

Shao Shengan was speechless, so he could only hug her. She laughed: "What are you doing, I'm fine."

She looked out the window wistfully: "Actually, the weapon is not wrong, I shouldn't run away from it, the skills will become rusty if you don't use them for a long time, I'll practice with you tomorrow."

"Okay. Let's practice together." Shao Shengan kissed her face, then kissed her forehead, and continued to hold her tightly. At the same time, he made up his mind to train hard.

Father Shao stopped after practicing for a while, and it was the vegetable seeds in the awning that he liked more. He checked one by one and said in surprise, "It's sprouting! Here's a little sprout!"

"Oh really? Great, you succeeded!" Mother Shao was very happy.

"I'll let Qingqing and Sheng An come to see."

Shao's mother hurriedly grabbed him: "Sheng An and Qingqing are whispering in the room, don't disturb them."

Touching his head a little embarrassedly, Shao's father said embarrassedly, "I don't I know."

"It's a pity, their little husband and wife have such a good relationship, but they can't have a child." Thinking of this, Shao's mother became sad, "Sheng An and Qingqing are both good-looking and smart, if they can have a child, they must be It's all according to their interests, the child must be beautiful and smart."

Father Shao sighed: "What are you talking about, it's our family's Sheng'an who can't help Qingqing, alas! Don't talk about it, it's too sad to say that, my cousin used to be an uncle. I just told a few of our children that people should be content, cherish happiness, and don't be too greedy. I have always remembered this since I was a child. Sheng An was a good student, and he went to Huacheng to study in junior high school. It took us a long time to see him. I miss him every day, don't you still want to cry secretly at night? At that time, I told you what my great-uncle said. We must be content and cherish happiness. If Sheng An is good at reading, we have to let him read it. It's a good thing, it doesn't make sense that all the good things in the world are taken up by us. We rarely see him a few times, it's nothing, as long as he reads well, isn't it? It's the same now, Sheng'an has that kind of space, which contains The lifeblood of our family, if there is no space, how can we have such a good life now? So, if there is space, we cannot have children. Mother Shao cried: "I'll just say a few words. You have so many words to block me. It's not that I don't understand the reason. I understand the reason. "Hey, I didn't teach you a lesson, don't cry, don't cry! Feifei came over here! Don't scare him!" Father Shao had two big heads. At the entrance of the living room, Qiao Songzhi heard this conversation as soon as he came over. It was really embarrassing, so he took a few steps back and stepped back into the living room before shouting: "My mother! Can the watermelon rinds on the terrace be collected? I'm going to sunbathe. The quilt, can I take it by the way?"







Mother Shao hurriedly wiped away her tears, then cleared her throat and responded, "Hey! I'll take a look, you don't need to worry about the watermelon rind, I'll take it now!" She glared at Father Shao and hurriedly left the living room.

The next day, Qiao Qingqing and the others drank water that had been soaked in watermelon rind, and Mother Shao added some honey to it, which made it taste even better.

"It's better to drink this healthy, Sheng An, don't drink too much of that iced fruit tea, it's bad for your stomach."

Shao Shengan touched his nose: "Got it, Mom."

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, scaring Shao Shengfei. The cups in his hands fell off.

"Let's see!"

Everyone crowded to the balcony to look out, and saw a person climbing on the outer wall, about to climb up the balcony of 701.

Mother Shao covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is too crazy!"

Bang Bang!

The sound of smashing the door continued, and it could be seen that the soldiers were divided into two groups, smashing the door and raiding from the balcony all the way.

These people are going to grab it in broad daylight!

"My God, what's wrong with this world! What should I do?" Father Shao was anxious.

"Will they come to our building after robbing the building next door?"

"Climbed up, and two more people climbed up!"

Residents of other buildings in Jinyuan Community were attracted by this movement, and they all followed suit. When I ran to the window or balcony to look, I was shocked when I saw it.

Shao Shengan looked at Qiao Qingqing, and Qiao Qingqing nodded: "I'll go get the bow and crossbow." On

the seventh floor of the third building of Jinyuan Community, the residents of 701 and 702 were all in full force, holding kitchen knives and broomsticks, staring nervously at the door.

"Ah! Balcony!"

The daughter of the 701 resident exclaimed, and the father immediately turned around and rushed to the balcony, only to see the burglar had climbed onto the balcony, raised a baseball bat and smashed the door.

It turned out that this group of robbers would be smashing the door and attacking from the balcony!

The glass door was smashed like this, and cracks appeared immediately. The other party grinned and smashed it again, and the glass shattered and flowed to the ground.

"Get out!" Father shouted sharply, waving the kitchen knife in his hand.

The man was not afraid at all: "Wow, I'm still afraid, you have the ability to come here!" The

father did not dare to go over, and the wife and daughter behind him hid behind him in fear. I won't hold you accountable!"

"Wow, I'm even more afraid, you go to investigate, go to the police and arrest me!"

While speaking, two more people climbed up.

The person who came up first whistled: "My brother is here, take out everything you can eat and drink at home when you are sensible, otherwise we will take it ourselves." The

three of them pushed away the damaged Balcony glass door, walked in. Father rose up to resist, but he was not the opponent of these men, and soon the kitchen knife fell to the ground and was kicked into the corner.

"Tie it up." "I know a little brother, wow, it's really good here, you can still grow vegetables, what is this? Leek

?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and search."

Fear drains their stamina quickly.

"What should I do, husband..." The

man gritted his teeth: "The money is destroyed, let them rob it."

There was a loud bang from the next door, and the wife's face turned paler: "There is no security door next door, it seems that the door I was kicked away."

"Be honest, it's our brothers who are going to the next door, you can't run away. Hey, this little sister looks good, little beauty, come here, my brother loves you."

"Let go. Let go of my daughter! Let go of my daughter!"

"Xin Er! Xin Er! Please let my daughter go!"

"Dad! Mom! Mom save me! Dad save me!"

702 soon followed in the footsteps of 701. The whole family was restrained and their property was raided. The young girl was dragged into the room, and the screams for help made these people even more excited.

"Hey, Dashu, take it easy! Hey, people who have a daughter-in-law look like

they 've never seen a woman before." The man suddenly let out a scream and rolled down the stairs.

"Ah!"

"What's the matter!?"

A man quickly went downstairs to help him, and an arrow flew in from the aisle window, hitting the man's thigh.

With another scream, the man also fell to the ground and rolled down the stairs.

"Don't move!" Brother Dian shouted, his eyes fixed on the window of the sixth floor aisle.

"Damn, someone attacked!"

Shao Shengan breathed a sigh of relief at the aisle window on the sixth floor of the fourth building, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his hair was soaked.

"They haven't moved, they are all on the stairs." Qiao Qingqing stared at the front, "You take a rest first, I'll come."

Shao Shengan's hands were shaking, he just shot two arrows, crossbow arrows, but he really seemed to have The feeling of holding a sharp weapon into the human body.

It was definitely not a good experience, he even felt a little sick.

But he has no regrets! He heard all those voices just now, those people are beasts! It's a shame that he and Qingqing are weak and weak, so they can only stay here and make a sneak attack. The half hour of waiting is torture for him.

"No." He shook his head, leaning against the wall to breathe gently.

Qiao Qingqing glanced at him worriedly and said, "You are here. I'm going to the seventh floor, and I must trap them in that section of the corridor."

"Okay! Be careful."

The couple reached a consensus, Qiao Qingqing walked upstairs quickly, Shao Shengan turned around and stared sideways at the window.

The distance between the two buildings is about six meters, which is exactly the longest distance he has been training crossbow arrows at home these days. He took a deep breath and stared at the opposite side seriously, as long as someone went down the stairs, as long as he saw a shoe, he would leave the other person behind!

In the corridor of the third building, Diange and his group of eight were motionless, but the atmosphere was very tense. Who the hell was attacking them in the dark?

"It looks like a crossbow, damn, move the two of you to the side and clean up first!" Brother Dian shouted, his eyes rolled, "If it's not black and black, it's the hands of other residents in this community. Lou! Bring the two families on the seventh floor down to make meat shields!"

"Brother Dian, will it be too cruel?"

Brother Dian slapped the speaker and said viciously: "What did we just do? It was a robbery! Robbery! If you don't do it for yourself, you must be enlightened when you follow me, don't say these bad words! Hurry up, go!" The

seven men hurriedly responded and ran upstairs.

As soon as he climbed up to the seventh floor and stood on the ground on the seventh floor, an arrow was shot through the aisle window. The man walking in the front was directly stabbed in the throat, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his throat made a "cluck" sound. , and fell backwards in the next second.
