(MTL) Natural Disaster Apocalypse

75-76

Those soldiers have been doing it all the way to find a car, but they are not locals. Even if they are locals, they don't live in the area they are familiar with. Now that the whole city is so ruined, I'm afraid they can't tell where there is a 4S shop. Now, it is impossible to drive on the current road, but it will always be able to drive in the future, but when the car will resume production, then I don't know, so they are not only rushing along the way, but also observing the surroundings, almost I have made records of the places I have walked, which stores are there, and which are worth looking for later, all of which are recorded in the notebook. There are many things to observe.

When Qin Huai asked Shi Yuanfei whether they would go through the greenway, and told them about cycling and tandem, Shi Yuanfei immediately changed the route temporarily. Although the route was changed slightly, it was only an extra detour: "When the time comes, let people rectify and rest here in advance. I will bring two soldiers. One of you will know the way. Let's go and have a look first." It is too cumbersome to take the whole team. It is not as fast as few people. This distance point , A round trip can take up to two or three hours, whether it is harvested or not, you can come back before dawn.

Here Jian Chu is acquainted, so the person who goes there is naturally Jian Chu. Although Yu Zibai and Jian Chu are in the same school, Yu Zibai does not work around like Jian Chu. The place he is familiar with is only the school. Outside of school, Jian Chu really does not know. However, he was not at ease with Jian Chu being alone, but he couldn't help much if there were too many people, so he could only stay.

Because I'm going to the greenway to try my luck, so the time to rest at the spot is relatively early today. I started looking for a place to rest before dawn. Others are eager to rest early. No one wants to take two more steps when they can rest.

Jian Chu prayed before leaving: "I hope good luck will accompany me."

Mu Nan walked up to him, tapped himself a few times like a priest, and then put his hand on Jian Chu's forehead: "Bless you My child."

Qin Huai patted Mu Nan on the head: "Don't make trouble, come here, take off the protective clothing and get some air."

Yu Zibai said: "Be careful on the road, wait for you to come back for dinner, today you have an early rest, you can make burritos, open a can of luncheon meat and a can of braised pork, Mu Nan and the others have brought seasoning, and they will prepare it when the time comes." Jian

Chu Sucking in his saliva, he was suddenly full of energy.

The departure of the soldiers did not attract anyone's attention. Mu Nan lay on the mat and sighed, "I hope the car can be found smoothly." Xu Ming

wiped his body with a wet towel soaked in disinfectant, and said, "That person yesterday No, according to the symptoms on the body, it is basically confirmed that it is the plague."

Hearing this, Mu Nan couldn't help but sit up: "Are there many people who died of the plague now?"

Xu Ming nodded: "Many, more than those who died of malaria There are more, and the plague is extremely contagious, and those who went with that person are now taken to the isolation team behind."

Xu Ming looked at them and said: "The way the plague spreads from person to person In addition to droplets, there is also feces, so in the future, if you need to go to the toilet, it is best to stay away from wherever there are mosquitoes around at dawn. It is too late to see clearly. I would rather hold it in. How much disinfectant do you have? I still have There is one bottle of 500ml left, if you use it diluted, it can last for a few days."

Qin Huai said: "We still have two bottles of one liter."

Xu Ming nodded: "Remember to wipe your body with diluted disinfectant every day Xu Ming checked the disinfectant that Qinhuai and the others brought, it is of medical protection level, the kind that can directly wash the wound, but now they don't know how long they will have to run on the road, or even what will happen after they arrive at the destination, so It can only be used as diluted as possible to avoid too much contact with other people. Personal hygiene must be cleaned up, especially the food that is imported, and the naan sent by the soldiers must at least undergo secondary processing.

Thinking about it this way, it's really fortunate that Qin Huai and the others brought a small fuel pot, otherwise they would only be able to eat canned food every day, and those foods that have been in contact with the air cannot be eaten directly, which is too dangerous.

Mu Nan was lying next to Qin Huai, with a small fan blowing beside him. The mask on his face was replaced with a new one. The one he wore before was soaked in sweat. Now he was outside, even when he was sleeping, he had to wear a mask. Not good, like some grasslands and the like, you have to wear protective clothing to sleep, and ordinary insect repellents can't get rid of the mosquitoes on the grasslands.

In a line behind them, two days ago, a middle-aged man had diarrhea and fever, alternating hot and cold, obviously suffering from malaria. At this time, his body temperature was already high, and he was sweating profusely when he sat still. He also had a fever and diarrhea, and he died after two days. When the military doctor examined the body, he found some mosquito bites on his back. Diagnosed, but the possibility of death from malaria due to mosquito bites is extremely high.

Although before leaving, the army gave them a little popular science about the most likely infectious diseases in today's environment, and the way of infection, but every time someone in the team got sick or someone died, the officers leading each team would repeatedly emphasize that , let everyone pay attention, this is not something that you can make up for by neglecting others, a small omission may bring fatal results, in addition to taking care of yourself, others have no spare time to take care of one more person.

Some of those who wore long-sleeved underwear each found something to tie the cuffs of their trouser legs tightly. Put on dry clothes when they are wet, and change them to wet ones when they are dry.

But I don't know if he got used to it every day, at least Mu Nan felt that the smell of these people who didn't know how long they hadn't showered was not as shocking as the first day when they went downstairs to gather, anyway, try to hold your breath through the mask as much as possible.

Now even when sleeping during the day, Qin Huai would order a moxibustion stick that is short, but can be burned for at least eight hours, to repel mosquitoes and disperse the smell at the same time.

When this thing was brought out, they also experienced a moral kidnapping. Some people said that there were at least 20 or 30 sticks in that box, and now they only have eight teams. Even because many people died later, it has been shortened to almost seven. One team, this one team, can guarantee the use of everyone for nearly three days, and even talk about the team that was isolated because of some fever, saying that in the spirit of humanitarianism, so many of their deworming equipment are disinfected. , It should also be taken out to save people.

As a result, the person who said this had several teeth knocked out by Qin Huai, and when he couldn't speak the words after the beating, Brother Xu came late, pretended to stop him twice, and severely criticized the fights in the team, and those who criticized Very severe, but no real punishment at all.

The man who knocked out his teeth was even a little bit reluctant when he saw the soldiers coming, but Brother Xu was not partial to his side, he just looked at him and said, "Well, I won't say much, let them take out their things , No problem, they take one, you take one, how fair it is, don't say you don't have one, they take disinfectant moxibustion sticks, you can take food and water, they are all helping people, those who are isolated and sick, I will definitely thank you."

It is fine to take other people's things, but absolutely not to take your own things, the middle-aged man covered his bloody mouth and mumbled: "Then why should he beat me! I will be beaten for nothing ?"

Qin Huai chuckled, and took a pack of individually wrapped biscuits from the bag, the kind in a small pack, there might only be three or five pieces in a pack, and threw a pack of biscuits directly on the man: "Hey, Medical expenses." As he said that, he glanced at the group of people who agreed with this man just now, and said directly: "My medical expenses are huge here, whoever wants to can talk more nonsense." At that time,

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai and sighed: "Brother, you are getting more and more rough now."

Qin Huai: "Why don't you still reason with them?"

Mu Nan quickly smiled and said: "Brother who is rough is also very handsome!"

Probably after seeing Qin Huai's attitude of attacking directly when he disagreed with him, some people didn't dare to join in, especially those who talked with the person who was beaten that day. People who have been in, let alone fight, and watching Qin Huai fight, the group of people with him just sat there watching the excitement without moving a single step, so you know that this group of people are not good at anything, knowing that if you provoke them, you will suffer. After a beating, why go for a beating, so try to stay as far away as possible.

But I didn't talk to them that day, and I didn't even get close to them. Later, when I was sleeping during the day, I tried to lean towards them as much as possible. The moxibustion strips can be rubbed a little bit. They don't want to be bitten by mosquitoes in their sleep and die of illness like this. .

Anyway, as long as those people are not close enough to exceed a certain distance, Qin Huai will not drive them away. Before, some people who even wanted to sleep next to them were all driven away by Qin Huai. This precedent must not be set. Once opened, one by one They all gathered around, who knows if those who look healthy and normal now are not in the incubation period of the disease, even if it is some moxibustion sticks, they are placed in the middle of their sleep, and they will never be moved there just because those people look pitiful Half a point, he didn't want to cause irreversible consequences just because of this half-point omission.

Every time at this time, Wu Zheng would sigh and pat Niu Niu's head. It was Niu Niu's credit that they were able to sleep together and took advantage of each other's convenience but were not chased away.

Seeing that Xu Ming started wiping his scalpel again, Mu Nan felt that Qin Huai had a fight with others that day, but many people didn't come around them anymore, and the biggest contributor who was afraid to avoid them was that when Qin Huai was fighting, he sat on the Xu Ming, who was wiping a scalpel leisurely on the ground and watching the excitement, if the scene was zoomed in for a close-up, the background music would definitely be that kind of perverted visual sense of gentle scum killing people without blinking an eye.

But seeing the scalpel, Mu Nan suddenly thought of the nail clippers, and then looked at his nails, they were already a little long, so he moved to the hanging light, cut the nails, finished cutting himself, and pulled Qin Huai Come over to cut it for him, Qin Huai looked at him and smiled: "This is the first time I have enjoyed your service."

Mu Nan said: "Then don't worry, it will definitely not be the last time, when you get too old and can't move, I'll push you out to bask in the sun."

Qin Huai: "I will trouble you to take care of me in the future, thank you very much."

Yu Zibai kept busy, mixing corn kernels with flour, and cooking a pot of mung bean soup with the small milk pot. It just so happens that they still have rock sugar. Although the rock sugar has melted, it's not bad to pour it in and boil it. The mung beans relieve heat and detoxify. After cooking, put it in the big lunch box to cool down. Drink it before leaving tomorrow morning. too hot.

Counting the time when Jian Chu left, I thought that if the round trip went smoothly, it might only take two hours, and at most three hours should be able to return. After all, if we don't go back to the sun, it will be very hot, so it's almost time for Jian Chu to come back. , do all the preparations well, so that when Jane comes back, she can start cooking immediately.

And Jian Chu's side went smoother than originally thought. Although that area also collapsed, he still found a few bicycles and tandem bicycles that can be continued to be used by pinching them. After trying it, I found that bicycles are better than double bicycles. People with less luggage can use bicycles. The double bicycles are the ones that ride side by side. There is a place to put things in the back, which can be used by people with more belongings. , but because it is a bit big, it is not as light as a single-person car.

In any case, I found some walking tools, but I don't know if they are enough, because the sky is already bright, and the sun is about to come out, and the few people will not delay any longer. One person chooses a bicycle and rides back first. At night Bring the team over to rummage, as many as you can find.

There is a car when I go back, but it is much faster than walking. I arrived at the temporary camp just before the sun was hot. Shi Yuanfei took the bicycle directly to the logistics side, so as not to let Jian Chu ride back and be seen by others, although I will take it with me at night. The team went over to search, but it was better not to cause some commotion during the day.

Seeing Jian Chu coming back drenched in sweat, Yu Zibai hurried up to greet him: "Is the journey going well?"

Jian Chu nodded: "Smooth, super smooth, let me tell you, we will take a detour to the greenway to look through the ruins tonight. When we came back just now, we came back by bicycle. I even took a photo. Let's discuss it first. Which one should we choose, now that no one else knows what to do at night, we can first determine the target, and when the time comes, we don't know how many cars we can find, there must be someone who doesn't have one." Mu Nan

thought My tandem bike is the kind of tandem bike with one front and one back. I saw the photos on Jianchu's phone and realized that it was the kind of tandem bike with four wheels riding side by side: "Can I put a small cart under this? Just put it between two people, and you can put things in the small basket at the back."

Jian Chu said: "I thought so before, but I found that this kind of bike is a bit laborious on the road, it's too big, but the bicycle is not It's really hard to put things away, unless we get rid of everything."

Qin Huai said: "First try to get a bicycle for each person, and get one for a double bicycle if there is time. Let's try to modify the bicycle first. We will directly add another one for the one with a back seat. Wooden boards, tie the trailers to it, if that doesn't work, a tandem bike can also hold two trailers, and you can ride them alternately." What

Qin Huai said was the most feasible way at the moment, and the discussion was completed in a few minutes, so Yu Zibai started Put the canned braised pork into the pot, add some seasoning and work.

Jian Chu also specially told the two brothers who brought Niu Niu to decide their targets in advance, wait for the big troops to pass, and act first before others reacted. Now they can have canned meat to eat, thanks to their Niu Niu , so Niuniu's owner should take more care of her, especially if their trailer is broken, it's better to ride a tandem bike than to go on the road with a heavy load behind.

Just talking for a while, their food came out of the pan with a strong aroma. It's been almost half a year since they had such a good bite of meat. They just opened up and ate it. I fell asleep satisfied after eating one by one until my stomach was full.

Jian Chu will also analyze the situation there with them: "When I came back, Captain Shi said that when the weather is hot, those people who lived here before and engaged in farmhouse entertainment will all go back to the village if possible. , so the collapsed ruins over there don't look like they've been dug up much, as if there's no one there."

Mu Nan asked, "Are those cars in the warehouse? There should be a lot of houses over there that use bicycles to go around the island." Do they make money, are their cars together?"

Jian Chu hummed: "In fact, they all belong to one family, just like the kind where every village is related to each other, almost every family is connected to each other, anyway, there are several families. The bicycles are all together, there is a small second floor built by myself, and a shed is built behind my house, and the whole row is full of sheds and sheds. After riding out, they are divided by color. I am also a little curious. Later, when it was so hot, I couldn't even see a shared bicycle outside. Why do the bikes here seem to be still there, and they haven't been pried away or sold? "

Mu Nan said: "Maybe it's a bit remote here, there are too few people, and shared bicycles don't cost money, you can get them when you see them, but if you take them in someone's house, you're stealing, and you feel like you're losing money when you buy them. "

Jian Chu sighed: "Maybe, in fact, it would be good if it could be rebuilt in this area, and a little further in front of you will be a very wide land, that kind of vast and spacious, you don't know, it was the first time I When I came to the school to report with my luggage, I saw an empty driveway beyond the school gate, and an endless construction site on the opposite side. I couldn't see a shop or an amusement facility store. I was desperate. It's just I didn't expect the back door of the school to be a hole in the sky, and I have everything I want to eat, drink, and have fun, but I have everything, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find a place to work." Mu Nan whispered to Jian Chu: "It's impossible for them to stop

here Even this place is actually suitable for reconstruction."

Jian Chu approached him a little bit: "Why? Do you know any news?"

Mu Nan said: "My university military training was in the army, not in the school. The army I went to was the 713 base, and the base was in Xihe District. I think they would choose to rebuild in Xihe District. They are all universities. Before the earthquake, the schools were closed, so there were few people. Another reason is that the army base is there. The 713 base is our provincial base. A provincial base. How many weapons do you think there are in the base? , How many high-tech things, when we were training before, the instructors took them into the tanks, of course they were eliminated. It is impossible for us students to go up and see the latest tanks, but only those eliminated, now this All roads can be unimpeded."

Listening to Mu Nan's words, Jian Chu was a little excited. The sense of security brought by this kind of armed force will make people feel that the family and country are still there, but it is still a bit strange: "If that The side base is still there, so why didn't the people in the base come out to rescue?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "Maybe they were rescued, but they haven't been rescued to the city center yet. After all, our side is far away. It's an hour's drive, and now it takes half a month."

Listening to their muttering and talking non-stop, they seemed to be getting more and more energetic as they talked, Qin Huai scooped up Mu Nan and rolled him straight away. When he came to his side: "It's time to sleep."

Mu Nan didn't struggle, instead, he followed Qin Huai's pull and moved to his side, and asked in a very low voice, "Brother, are you full?"

Qin Huai held the The fan fanned him: "Your brother, I'm not a big eater." I don't know where this habit of always worrying about his lack of food came from.

Mu Nan snorted, and asked after a while: "Would you like to eat some fruit? I even froze some pomelo before."

Qin Huai covered his eyes: "Close and go to sleep."

Because of the early rest today, many people got enough sleep, so when the sun went down and people woke up one after another, many of them were refreshed and refreshed. I don't know if they will move the materials found in the hotel, anyway, no movement has been revealed. Qin Huai thinks that they should have contacted the military headquarters, informed the specific location, and asked them to come and carry them. After all, There are dozens of boxes, not too many things, but not too little, adding more load to a walking team like them will only make the road more difficult.

When the heat outside became less scorching, the troops set sail again. Shi Yuanfei didn't tell the crowd about the detour, but the troops in the front followed wherever they went. After all, they were allowed to go by themselves, even if they had Few people can correctly identify the direction on the map, so not many people know whether they took the shortcut or detoured.

After walking for more than two hours, they finally reached the outer area of ​​the greenway. Jian Chu pointed to the area where green sheds could be vaguely seen on the ground ahead, and whispered to them: "It's right there, press down There are a lot of good things, but there are also many bad things, and I don't know whether to let everyone move freely or what to do with the army."

Qin Huai said: "No matter how you move, you are familiar with this side, and you will take us with you later. "Speaking, he glanced at Wu Zheng who was leading the dog not far away, and motioned to him. Wu Zheng handed Niuniu's rope to Song Jia and walked over.

Qin Huai said: "Let's act together later, you leave the things to your brother to take care of, let your brother take Niu Niu, and wait with my brother at the same place, it will be easier for the others not to bring anything with them." Jian Chu was familiar with

this The area, so he can't be allowed to stay with Mu Nan to take care of things. Originally, either he or Xu Ming wanted to leave one to take care of things, but now that there are more brothers, his younger brother is very suitable to stay, and he also has a Dogs, a dog can sometimes be much more lethal than a human, especially a loyal hunting dog like Xiasi, at least if there is any situation here, the dog will definitely bark, and they will rush away immediately when they hear the sound. come over.
