Chapter 11 Supplies
Lian Sheng sprayed hemostatic white medicine on his wound and put on a sterile dressing. While wrapping the bandage, he asked with a smile: "Is this the first time Xiao Wen has come out?"
Seeing Bai Zhou nodded, Liansheng smiled and sighed: "No wonder. But it's okay. It's okay to walk a little longer. That's it."
He spoke vaguely, and Wen Baizhou understood.
He stood aside until Lian Sheng was completely bandaged, and then he said, "Do you think I'm stupid for doing this?"
Lian Sheng laughed when he heard this: "Who hasn't been stupid before? I just think... your goal is a bit It's too ambitious."
It's too ambitious and unrealistic, and it's not something that can be achieved in the short time of this life.
But think about Wen Baizhou's treasure chest-like tactical vest, and the brand-new jacket worn by Brother Heng that obviously didn't belong to him. With such a rich family background, Xiaowen must be a treasured kid in a big bunker.
It is normal for young people who have been raised pampered to have some unrealistic ideals.
"What if." Wen Baizhou blinked and said softly, "You see life is so sad, you must have some dreams."
Lian Sheng just smiled.
He balled up the bandages and threw them into the corner. He patted the quilt again and said, "Brother Heng will be working on it for a while. Don't stand. Come and sit."
This single bed is less than one meter wide. , the length is only 1.8 meters. Lian Sheng was half lying on the head of the bed, bending one foot to make way for Wen Baizhou.
Wen Baizhou sat down at the end of his bed.
The two of them chatted one after another, and Wen Baizhou felt a little hot.
He unconsciously unbuttoned his coat, but still felt very uncomfortable. He looked around and asked Lian Sheng, "Do you feel too hot?"
"Is it hot?" Lian Sheng wore thinner clothes than Wen Baizhou and didn't feel hot for the time being. But he was not surprised: "Then Brother Heng should have repaired the electric heating circuit."
"Electric heating?!"
Wen Baizhou was shocked: "Is there an electric heating here?"
"Yes." Lian Sheng smiled. Said, "When the subway station was renovated to serve as a supply point, wasn't the key project the installation of electric heating? Otherwise, in this weather, how can people survive after being busy outside all day and still not find a warm place to spend the night."
"No wonder those people are coming to the supply point..."
"Yeah." Lian Sheng responded, his smile fading.
"Actually, everyone has a desire to survive, and it's normal for them to gather at supply points. But... they crowded in, and it really made life difficult for us ground personnel." The
supply point was originally meant for them, the ground workers. Prepared by personnel.
Ground work is highly dangerous, and you will encounter all kinds of unpredictable accidents. Getting injured and losing supplies are all things that happen. That's why there are supply points to provide them with supplies and treat their wounds.
But now, there is only one overnight function left.
Wen Baizhou didn't understand. Just when he was about to ask, he heard the sound of opening the door.
He stopped talking and listened, only to find the lock clattering. Rather than opening the door, it's more like... prying the door open?
"Who?!" he said nervously.
The sound of banging on the door stopped.
There was no sound for a while.
Wen Baizhou kept holding on to his heart and secretly tightened his grip on the gun in his pocket. Seeing that there was no more movement outside, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly let go of the gun in his hand, before taking his hand out of his pocket. Suddenly a dull voice came from behind: "Boom."
"Boom!"
He turned around suddenly and saw a dark face pressed against the glass.
"!!!"
Wen Baizhou's breath was stagnant. At this moment, he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman!
The next moment, a familiar female voice sounded in his ears: "Switch to attack mode, please protect yourself."
Lian Sheng had already knelt down and sat up, with the muzzle of his gun directly pressed against the glass of the small office, and asked coldly: " What's going on?"
The dark face's eyes moved up and glanced at the high-energy laser gun. He slowly took a step back, then took another step, and then pointed in the direction of the door.
But the gun was still there, not changing at all with his movements.
The black-faced man raised his hands and slowly walked aside.
Not long after, he returned to the window and held up a piece of paper that read: Do you have any medicine? We have a child who is in dire need of medication.
"No." Lian Sheng said decisively, "Is there anything else?"
The black-faced man shook his head, put away the paper and walked away.
Wen Baizhou was completely relieved: "It turns out that I'm here to borrow medicine. Fortunately, Brother Heng will give medicine to the child." "
I'm here to rob you." Lian Sheng sighed, "It's not home anymore, please be more careful. Xiao Wen. The most basic thing is that the waiting hall has a fully enclosed glass door. How did they come to the railway and knock on the window? Why do they have to pry the door when borrowing medicine normally? Can't they knock on the door? "
"Ah..." Wen Baizhou was stupid Living.
"The reason why you put black ash on your face is to prevent you from remembering your face. Children are just an excuse. If there are really children, they should be queuing up to receive medicine upstairs."
Lian Sheng sighed and slowly lay back: " Also, they took action as soon as the heating came on. They must have made sure that Brother Heng was checking the power supply system and wouldn't be back for a while. So I became bolder." "
But... why are you robbing me?"
"I He is a wounded patient who has nothing on him. Brother Heng and the others knew at a glance that they could not beat him." Lian Sheng said bluntly this time, "Only you, at first glance, you look like a little fat sheep, and you are easy to deceive."
Wen Baizhou He lowered his eyes, looking very disappointed.
Lian Sheng, however, suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Xiao Wen, you have to remember that working on the ground is a very dangerous job. Those people," he pointed his finger to the door, "they will not attack the supply point, because no matter what What is their purpose? They all rely on supply points to receive free anti-radiation medicine. But they will attack us." "They
will grab medicine, food, and all supplies that require manpower to deliver. If you want to work on the ground, you can't Because they don't seem to be doing anything, let's relax our vigilance."
Wen Baizhou nodded and whispered: "Thank you, I understand."
Lian Sheng slowly changed his position. Just as he sat up from his knees, the wound on his thigh cracked again, and it was burning with pain.
He awkwardly changed his posture and laughed again: "Don't be too sad, everyone is here like this."
Wen Baizhou responded in a low voice and looked around blankly.
This is a really small office. A single bed less than one meter wide was put down, leaving only a small aisle. The glass window next to the bed is half a glass wall. Through it, you can see the dark railway outside. It was so dark on the railway that he couldn't see the tracks.
"Sometimes the weather conditions outside are too bad, the weather or the people are too bad. We will choose to walk along the subway tracks to the next supply point." Liansheng said, "The supply points also have carts that can drive along the rails. But now there are more people, supplies are seriously insufficient, and the car has not been able to drive through for a long time."
Wen Baizhou looked out the window and nodded.
So when Lu Heng walked in, what he saw were two people clinging to the glass window.
He wondered: "What are you doing?"
Lian Sheng turned around and raised his hand to say hello: "Nothing, Xiao Wen wants to see the railroad tracks, we'll look for it under the light."
Lu Heng looked at Wen Baizhou and saw that the little ancestor still had some undisguised disappointment on his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly and guessed it immediately: "Someone came here just now."
Lian Sheng was happy when he heard the words, and talked about what happened before.
Lu Heng walked to the bed and patted Wen Baizhou's shoulder reassuringly: "You're just inexperienced, it's okay. Put on your clothes and get ready to go."
"Where should we go next?" Wen Baizhou buttoned his coat. ask him.
Lu Heng pondered for a long time before saying: "We may have to go back. Lian's wounds are a little inflamed and need to be treated."
Wen Baizhou agreed: "Your injuries also need to be treated. We can go back first and rest for a night before setting off. "
Lian Sheng had already put on his trousers and jumped out of bed: "Brother Heng is injured?" "
On the back, the whole back is so long." Wen Baizhou gestured, "It won't be better in a week, I still need to change the medicine. "
Lian Sheng agreed: "That's right! You have to change!"
"We'll talk about it when we go back first." Lu Heng said, "Can you walk?"
"No problem."
The three of them left the room one after another, walking as usual. After seeing the single-person tents all over the ground, we went upstairs and left the subway station directly.
It's a little windy outside. The warmth brought out of the subway station was wiped away by just one meeting.
Wen Baizhou curled his neck and followed Lian Sheng into the back of the chariot.
Yu Xingye was still in the car. When they got into the car, they raised a small alcohol stove at hand and said, "You're back just in time, let's eat."
He placed a small pot the size of a bowl on the small stove, and steamed a few steamed buns in it.
As he spoke, he inserted a bun and handed it to Lian Sheng: "I brought it for you on a special trip. Try it."
"Bao bun? Where did you get it?" Lian Sheng asked.
"This is not an ordinary bun. There is no infected pork, no mutated seeds. This is a bun made from their essence!"
Yu Xingye said: "I shamelessly made it from a blue sky and white clouds, green trees and red flowers, no radiation, You got it from Wenrou Township, where you can eat and drink."
Lian Sheng said, "Your place is not Wenrou Township, your place is called Gensokyo."
"To be honest, no one believes it." Yu Xingye sent it to everyone The steamed buns were steaming hot, and he took one that hadn't had time to heat up, and asked, "Where are we going now?" "
Go back first." Lu Heng said, "Several injuries need to be taken care of."
"Okay!" Yu Xingye was particularly surprised. He said happily, "Lianzi, please wait, we are going to our little ancestor's hometown. When we meet you later, you will know whether it is Wenwen Township or Gensokyo Township."
Walking back after walking on the road once, it is considered a familiar road.
An hour later, they carefully walked through the woods from whence they came, returning to the familiar wilderness without waking any bats. Without the thick fog, the view becomes clearer.
Yu Xingye drove a few laps and slowly slowed down: "Little ancestor, take a look. Is this the place?" Wen
Baizhou looked out of the car: "Yes, it's nearby." "
Then I didn't drive wrong." Yu Xingzhi was panicking. He stepped on the brakes and looked at Lu Heng, "Brother Heng, do you recognize this is here, right?"
The car stopped in front of a black stain of blood.
Not long ago, the body of a lantern-tailed monkey lay here. Yu Xingye got it himself.
Later, he personally brought the monkey corpse into the small villa for the people inside to study.
The blood is still there now.
What about the house?
â 13. Chapter 12 Bai Zhou
Chapter 12 Baizhou
Luheng squatted in front of the pool of blood, crushed a piece of sand with his fingers and smelled it carefully.
Although several days have passed, the unique rancid smell in the blood of the lantern-tailed monkey can still be smelled.
He clapped his hands and stood up, then opened his eyes and looked carefully at the open space.
Decades have passed, and it is no longer possible to tell what was used here before. The plants are buried in the sand, and the sporadic cement stones that pop out can only prove that there were buildings here decades ago.
The remaining stones were covered with intact ice crystals, showing no signs of being crushed.
It's like there has never been a three-story villa here since it was destroyed.
Yu Xingye was extremely uneasy at the side. Lu Heng didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Heng, do you see anything?"
Lu Heng shook his head: "We did start from here in the morning."
Deng Wei The bloodstains of the human-faced monkey are the best evidence.
This kind of monkey is very rare, and it is not easy to find one. Two of them appeared in the same area, and they were both killed nearby... This is almost impossible to happen.
Yu Xingye couldn't help but walk around the open space.
It is simply unbelievable that a three-story house disappeared inexplicably.
The further he walked, the colder he felt in his heart, and he couldn't help but panic: "This, this can't be a collective dream of ours! There are all the physical evidence! We can't pull the little ancestor down from the sky, right?"
he said Here, the whole person was startled, and then suddenly said: "Don't think the house is missing because we took away the little ancestor, right?! Just like the seven fairies in the legend, they can't fly without their clothes!"
What he said There was no basis for it, but Ke Luheng suddenly realized that this was the first time that there was no owner in the small villa, and there were no visitors from 2099.
When he first saw the small villa, it was also the first time Wen Baizhou went to that small villa.
Later, when Wen Baizhou came to 2099 alone, he stayed in the villa for treatment.
When Yu Xingye chased Wen Baizhou and found this small villa, both of them were in the villa.
Is it a coincidence, or does it require an owner or guest to stay in the villa?
If it is the latter, is the owner of the house the coordinate of that space? The owner of the house has left and there is no guest assistance, so the space has lost its coordinates?
Lu Heng pondered and looked at Wen Baizhou.
Wen Baizhou stared blankly at the open space in front of him. He didn't get out of the car, he just sat in the car and rolled down the window, holding on to the window frame and watching quietly.
His eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness, and when he met Lu Heng's gaze, he frowned in panic. As if he finally realized something, emotions surged up, completely engulfing him in an instant.
But he couldn't collapse, so he could only suppress it with a distorted face.
"Bai Zhou." He walked to the car window and said solemnly, "I promise you, no matter where you are, you can live a good life."
Wen Baizhou's brows twitched: "What?"
Lian Sheng had already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. , he opened the car door and said softly: "Well, you come to the car to talk, and I'll go down?"
"I'll go down." Wen Baizhou took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, "Liansheng, you have an injury on your leg, so you need to move less. "
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car. He even walked a few steps and stood next to the pool of blood. Lu Heng was one step away from him, looking at the open space with him.
"I haven't introduced you to Bunker No. 1. It was originally the first controllable nuclear fusion power station in Longxia. At the beginning of its construction, because of its priority for nuclear strikes, it was designed in the mountains. It was born together with it Yes, there are also conventional islands that can accommodate the work and life of 100,000 people. They are the predecessors of Bunker No. 1."
"One hundred thousand people..." Wen Baizhou was stunned, "Hollowed out the entire mountain?"
"Part of it, the rest The next part is buried deep underground." Lu Heng said, "Bunker No. 1 is where we lived and grew up. I will take you there. You will have your own room there, and you can also choose a job you like. I will tell you I promise, you won't be in any danger."
His voice was calm, with a convincing power.
Wen Baizhou pursed his lips and lowered his head, and it took him a long time to say: "...What can I do?"
He has liked painting since he was a child, and fortunately he has some talent and can delve into the field he likes. In the twenty-one years since he grew up, he spent at least half of his time devoted to painting.
He loved to draw, it was an integral part of his life. But he also had to admit that the only thing he was good at was of no use in an environment like a bunker.
"You can do a lot." Lu Heng said.
He took another half step forward, getting closer to Wen Baizhou.
He lowered his voice and said, "You can be an art teacher for the children. Their aesthetic education is too lacking. You can also be a shooting teacher for the reserve team. You must be better with a gun than they are. They don't even know how to load it. If If you like, you can also record species. We have been doing this in the bunker for the past few years, but we are short of painting experts."
Wen Baizhou suddenly raised his head and looked at him without blinking.
There was a smile on Lu Heng's face: "I promise, you can live according to your wishes."
"Then what if..." Wen Baizhou licked his dry lips, "If I want to come out, want to get back Where is the way home?"
Lu Heng did not hesitate: "You will accept the most rigorous training in the bunker and then join my team."
Wen Baizhou's eyelashes trembled, he lowered his head and sniffed hard.
Lu Heng stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment and put his hand on Wen Baizhou's helmet.
Through a cold helmet, he gently rubbed the little ancestor's head.
"Thank you." Wen Baizhou sniffed and said, "Let's go, don't waste time here. Where should we go next?" There was a thick nasal sound in his voice.
"First go to my other team members and hand over the medicines in this car to them. We also need to find you a set of protective clothing in the small bunker along the way." Lu Heng said, "After doing this, we will set off back Bunker No. 1."
"Then let's go." Wen Baizhou took the lead, and then he said, "When you get to a warm place, you have to take my bag with you. It's been a whole day, and your injury needs dressing. ."
"Okay." Lu Heng responded. He walked directly to the driver's seat and said loudly, "Xingye, get in the car, I'll drive."
Yu Xingye looked at him, then turned to look at Wen Baizhou. After blinking and struggling for a long time, I could only get into the passenger seat with a sigh.
"Little ancestor." He turned to look at Wen Baizhou and called someone, but he didn't know what to say, "That's right, don't be afraid. It's been more than forty years, and it's not that difficult for us to survive here. At least we We still strictly control firearms and ammunition."
Wen Baizhou cooperated: "Are there still chaos in other places?"
"The less supplies, the more chaotic society will be." Yu Xingye said with a smile, "Decades are nothing, let's fight first A hundred years."
The more Liansheng heard, the more strange he became: "Where did Xiaowen live before?"
How could he not know so many common sense questions?
"We all said this is our little ancestor, living in 2025." Yu Xingye said, handing over another bun, "Would you like it? Breakfast in 2025."
Lian Sheng said angrily: "Seriously. , don't be so careless."
"This is serious." Yu Xingye said, "If you don't believe it, go back and ask Brother Heng to tell you." "
Everyone sit down and fasten your seat belts." Lu Heng ignored them and took a drink from the passenger compartment. He took out a map and a pencil, "Liansheng, how did they go?"
"We met at the supply point. The next day, Guiyao's group walked along the route, and Ye Chi's group drove to Bunker No. 13. That piece." Lian Sheng said, "Should we go directly to Bunker 13? We can also prepare more food for the return trip."
Bunker 13 is a large bunker located in the experimental park in the city center. It is a rare food processing plant. bunker. In the past, after they transported supplies to Bunker 13, they would transport a batch of processed food from Bunker 13 back to Bunker 1.
Lu Heng lowered his head and wrote something on the map. He turned around and handed the map to Wen Baizhou before saying, "Let's go after Ye Chi."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chariot suddenly jumped out.
His driving style is much more brutal than Yu Xingye's, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of waking up the mutated bats on the treetops. The chariot drove out of the woods at an extremely fast speed and quickly drove onto a road that seemed to be a road.
Even if it is a road, it is just a smoother stretch of sand.
Wen Baizhou looked at it for a few times, then looked away and opened the map. He saw that Lu Heng had drawn several circles on the map, writing "Current location", "Ye Chi direction", "Guiyao direction", "No. 1 bunker" " and "Bunker 13."
He even connected "Bunker No. 1" to two directions, passed through the circles representing Gui Yao and Ye Chi, and framed a rather large triangle on the map, with the words "Responsible Area" written inside the triangle. .
Lian Sheng looked over and explained: "We will come out of the bunker regularly to deliver supplies for Bunker No. 1 to the supply points and small bunkers along the way. At the same time, we must also bring back some things needed for Bunker No. 1 from these places. Wen
Baizhou nodded as if he understood: "There are only two cars, is it enough?" "
We mainly deliver medicine. Two cars are enough. If there is not enough, we will pile it on the roof of the car." Lian Sheng said, "Other living supplies will be transported by large trucks."
Wen Baizhou looked towards the "Ye Chi direction". Their group and the "Guiyao direction" were located in two points, one to the east and one to the west. Guiyao was walking along the subway line. Ye Chi was also a subway station, but it was a station on a circular ring line.
The two sites are separated by an entire area. No wonder Ye Chi and the others need to drive.
After he finished reading the map, he didn't put it away. He just looked at the map slowly and in a daze. His mind was in a mess, and his emotions were rising in waves. When I felt so uncomfortable, I read the explanatory text on the map to divert my attention.
He didn't know how many times he had done this, but he suddenly heard Lian Sheng's voice.
"The weather is a little strange, and the wind has gotten stronger." Lian Sheng's brisk voice became heavier, "Brother Heng, we have to get to the supply point as soon as possible."
Wen Baizhou came back to his senses: "What will happen if we can't get there? ?"
"Something will happen that you don't want to experience." Lian Sheng said.
â 14. Chapter 13 Changes in the sky
Chapter 13:
What happened?
Questions swirled in his mind, but Wen Baizhou didn't speak. He leaned his head against the car window and looked out the window casually.
There are no plants on the sandy land, and occasionally bare short trees can be seen passing by the window. The remains of buildings can be seen everywhere, protruding steel bars like bones piercing the skin. Under the gloomy sky, it looked a little gloomy.
Wen Baizhou raised his eyes and looked at the sky. In the past two days since I came here, the weather here has been gloomy. Dark clouds always cover the sky, and the sun is always blocked from a higher place.
With weather like this, there should be a heavy rain, right?
He thought and closed his eyes.
The chaotic emotions in his heart made his eyes turn black and he even felt like vomiting. He pressed against the cold glass, forcing himself to think about something else.
The sound of the assault vehicle traveling reached his ears. This sound is very regular. If you listen to it for a long time, you will have a calming and hypnotic feeling. Coupled with the poor road conditions, there will be some slight shaking from time to time.
This makes people want to sleep even more.
In the haze, consciousness gradually drifted away.
As he was falling, he suddenly heard another sound. It was sharp, like some kind of whistling sound.
The light falling feeling suddenly turned into a rapid fall. Wen Baizhou opened his eyes suddenly: "What happened?"
"The wind is picking up." Lu Heng glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "Hold on to the hand guard by the door. Speeding up."
Wen Baizhou reflexively held the gauntlet. Looking sideways, I found that a layer of fine yellow sand had rolled up outside the window at some point!
The strong wind howled past the assault tank, carrying away scattered leaves and breaking thin branches on the roadside. Wen Baizhou even heard "crackling" sounds coming from various parts of the vehicle.
That was the sound of rolled up stones hitting the car.
The sky has become extremely dark, as if it has entered night in an instant. Under the pitch-black sky, their car lights were the only source of light.
The speed of the vehicle soared in an instant, and Wen Baizhou even felt that the chariot was drifting in the strong wind!
He was so nervous that he clenched his gauntlet and asked Lian Sheng beside him in a low voice: "How can you drive so fast in such a strong wind?" "
It will be more troublesome if you don't hurry up." Lian Sheng said, "Looking at the weather, there is a possibility of heavy rain. We have to find a shelter before the storm comes."
Shelter? Wen Baizhou was stunned: "Where is the supply point?"
"I probably can't make it there." Lian Sheng turned his head and looked at the sky, looking a little anxious, "The day has changed so fast."
In just two sentences, the sky It's like it's darker.
The thick ink swallowed up the world along with the whimpering wind. The man-made chariot seemed to have turned into a thin boat, and it could only try its best to find a balance in the wind.
The chariot drifted forward in the wind, and everyone in the car was tossed around. Wen Baizhou's chest was painfully strangled by the seat belt. He did not dare to speak anymore and quietly grabbed the seat belt with his other hand.
The continuous "crackling" sounds seemed to become louder, and for some reason, there was also a strange "sizzling" sound.
"It's raining. Hoshino, Lianzi, pay attention to your surroundings and find shelter!"
Wen Baizhou looked up when he heard the sound, only to find a sudden mist rising outside the front window. They shrouded the outside of the car and were not scattered by the strong wind.
The outside world seemed to come alive at this moment. There were birds flying by in groups, mice squeaking past the headlights, and even other animals that Wen Baizhou couldn't identify at all.
They screamed and howled in the rain, running rampant in search of shelter.
There seemed to be a hole in the sky, and the raging rain poured straight onto the land. The white fog rising from the ground was thicker than before. When the car lights swept over it, there was only a vast expanse of white, and the visibility was already very low.
Such heavy rain and fog are no longer suitable for driving.
But Lu Heng was driving the chariot without slowing down at all: "It's too late, sit still!"
The chariot flicked in the heavy rain, and before it sped away in the other direction, something suddenly fell down. ââ
"Clang!"
It hit the window in front of the driver's seat, splashing a large group of dark marks.
The chariot suddenly stopped!
"Ugh!"
His head hit the back of the front seat. Wen Baizhou rubbed his red forehead and looked up, just in time to see the black thing slowly sliding down from the front window.
It looked like a lump of flesh as big as a head, but it had no wings. The surface skin was gone, and the scarlet flesh was exposed, rolling and leaving a large brown-red mark on the car window.
"This..." Wen Baizhou stared blankly at the blood stain, "What is this?"
"Mutated bat." Lu Heng turned around and glanced at him, "Put on the helmet."
Wen Baizhou quickly put on the helmet: "Where are the bat's wings?"
"They were melted by the rain." Lu Heng said, "This is probably a strong acid rain, so we need to find shelter as soon as possible." As
soon as he finished speaking, he started the chariot again.
The blood stains on the front window had been washed away by the heavy rain, but the wingless bat rolled to the front window of the passenger seat under the inertia, and was stuck in the corner of the window by the suspension device.
Wen Baizhou looked at it without blinking.
I saw heavy rain falling on the bat's body, causing layers of white mist to rise. The bat was washed away by the heavy rain and became smaller and smaller -
until it turned into a piece of skin.
Then it quickly melted into the rain and disappeared.
Wen Baizhou tensed up and felt chills running down his spine. At such a tense time, he even felt a little cold.
Lu Heng noticed his strangeness and said, "Don't worry, every part of this car has been sprayed with three types of anti-acid rain coatings, each of which has been sprayed with more than three layers. It is safe in the car."
Wen Baizhou looked at him quietly: "...like this."
There was lingering fear in his eyes, and he looked a little pitiful in his daze.
"It will be fine soon, I promise." Lu Heng reassured, "If you are scared, close your eyes for a while."
Wen Baizhou closed his eyes obediently.
But as soon as his field of vision went dark, the bloody mass of fleshy tumors appeared forcefully. He opened his eyes in panic and looked out the window.
Under the heavy rain, there were no lights, and it was pitch black outside the car window. Seeing nothing, he just stared at the rain falling on the window. Watch them flow like a rushing river on glass that does not welcome them.
After looking at it for a while, I found that the glass had not changed at all. Wen Baizhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He relaxed his back and leaned on the seat. He looked up and looked ahead again, only to realize that they seemed to have turned into the former business district.
Many of the buildings here are very high, and the exposed steel bars are covered with ice. The windows with missing glass looked like dark holes, and they were scattered all over the building. The heavy rain blew in through the broken windows, and from time to time, huge rumblings could be heard from inside the building.
Lu Heng slowed down the car and carefully picked his footing.
After a while, he found a suitable building. The chariot immediately accelerated and drove past.
"We found a place." Yu Xingye muttered, "The little ancestor wasn't scared, was he?"
"Yeah." Wen Baizhou responded in a low voice, "Are we spending time here tonight?" "We
can only stay here." Yu Xingye said, "It will be really dangerous if we drive any further."
"Lian Zijiao When we get off Baizhou, please cooperate with us and put down the back seats." Lu Heng said, "I'll rest here tonight." "
Then I'll go and clear the trunk first." Lian Sheng said and flexibly turned the It passed over the back of the seat and fell into the trunk.
There is also a row of spare seats in the trunk of the tank. After laying them flat, Lian Sheng and Wen Baizhou lowered the back seats together. Two rows of seats are connected to form a temporary bed.
When they put the backs of their chairs down, Lu Heng turned on the self-purification function of the chariot. Small water jets sprayed out from all sides of the tank, continuously diluting the strong acid rain on the vehicle.
After a round of washing, Lu Heng started the chariot again and went deeper.
Finally, he stopped the chariot close to a load-bearing wall and said, "Everyone, rest. I'll keep watch tonight." "
Brother Heng, rest." Yu Xingye said, "I'll keep watch in the first half of the night, and I'll keep watch in the second half of the night." I'll replace you."
"I'll replace Xingye in the second half of the night." Lian Sheng said, "Brother Heng and Xiaowen should have a good rest. I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow, so you all need to be energetic."
Lu Heng didn't agree either. They declined. After flipping into the back seat, he opened the driver's seat and took out two thermal blankets from under the seat.
He handed one to Lian Sheng, and spread the other to cover Wen Baizhou. Then he carefully lay down on his side facing Wen Baizhou.
Wen Baizhou looked at his action and couldn't help but ask, "Is your back hurting?"
"It's okay." Lu Heng said, "Are you afraid?"
Wen Baizhou blinked and nodded lightly. . He lowered his voice and said softly: "But it's useless to be afraid." After saying that, he couldn't help coughing twice: "I may have a cold, I had a sore throat just now."
Sore throat?
Lu Heng immediately reached for Wen Baizhou's helmet. After groping for a while, he discovered that Wen Baizhou's helmet was not connected to oxygen for internal circulation.
"You breathed in too much acid rain gas, so your throat hurts."
He sat up and took out a bottle of highly compressed oxygen from the center armrest box. He fixed the oxygen on the roof of the car and pulled out the oxygen connecting tube from Wen Baizhou's helmet.
After doing this, he fumbled to open the internal circulation of the helmet: "It's okay, it won't hurt after a sleep."
Wen Baizhou grasped the thermal blanket tightly and said, "I still feel cold."
Lu Heng sat up, He quickly took off his jacket. He lay down again, put his arms around Wen Baizhou, and wrapped himself and Wen Baizhou tightly in his jacket.
"Okay, it'll be warm in a while." Lu Heng said, gently patting Wen Baizhou's back as if to comfort him.
Wen Baizhou huddled in Lu Heng's arms and his nose couldn't stop feeling sore.
He thinks this year 2099 is terrible. The calm look he had before was all an illusion. After he couldn't return home, he suddenly broke down and revealed his ferocious true face with a strange smile.
Fortunately, there is Lu Heng.
Fortunately, I met Lu Heng.
"Brother Heng," Wen Baizhou whispered, "Thank you."
Lu Heng patted his back lightly. He lowered his voice and said softly: "Go to sleep, good night."
â 15. Chapter 14 Accumulated Rain
Chapter 14 Jiu Yu
Wen Baizhou didn't sleep peacefully that night.
His subconscious was always filled with uneasiness, and the slightest disturbance would wake him up. Not to mention that under strong acid rain, there will be loud or small "rumbling" sounds outside from time to time.
Every time the corroded bricks and stones fell, Wen Baizhou would wake up.
All night long, he dreamed intermittently. In the dream, I seemed to be trekking in a certain mountain with my mentor. They went over the mountains and ridges to see something... what?
With a "boom", the ground shook!
The green mountains and green waters in front of him shattered into pieces in the heavy rain, and poured overwhelmingly towards him.
Wen Baizhou was suddenly startled and sat up! He stretched out his hand to rub his forehead in confusion, but he touched a cold object.
helmet?
Why should I sleep with a helmet on? He looked around blankly and saw a familiar chariot, and his memory suddenly returned.
There was no one in the car, but Lu Heng's jacket was still covering him. Where are people?
Wen Baizhou rolled down the window and just stuck his head out when he heard Yu Xingye's voice: "Hey, little ancestor, are you awake?"
He turned around and saw Yu Xingye squatting next to the rear wheel of the car. , holding a spray can and spraying it on the wheel.
"The wheel is a little damaged and corroded. I need to spray some hydrophobic agent and wait for it to heal itself." Yu Xingye shook the spray can at him and sprayed the wheel twice more.
"...Waiting for it to heal itself?" Wen Baizhou asked in confusion, "Who can wait for it to heal itself?"
"The wheel." Yu Xingye said, "The environment here is harsh. This wheel is made of self-healing material. The damage is unlikely. Self-repair. I remember that in your era, there was already a prototype of this technology, right?"
"..." Art student Wen Baizhou fell silent.
Seeing that he was speechless, Yu Xingye thought that mentioning this made him homesick, so he quickly changed the subject: "Are you hungry? The buns are heated for you and are placed on the passenger seat. You can eat them yourself."
"Thank you." Wen Baizhou looked around again, "Where's Brother Heng?" "
Go upstairs." Yu Xingye said, "It keeps raining, we have to be prepared." "
But he's not wearing a coat. Ah!" Wen Baizhou couldn't help but say.
Even now, he feels cold even when he is sitting in the car without going anywhere. Not to mention Lu Heng was running up and down in such thin clothes.
"Then you can give it to him when he comes back." Yu Xingye said, standing up and going around to the other side to spray hydrophobic coating on the wheels.
Wen Baizhou hesitated for a moment and got out of the car with Lu Heng's jacket.
They were now in the hall of a circular building. The glass door of the hall had long been broken, and the wind was blowing in. As soon as I got off the car, I felt the temperature was a little lower.
The sound of heavy rain was coming outside the hall. Wen Baizhou walked outside and saw some pale light coming out of the dark sky, illuminating the outside environment a little.
There was water as high as one step outside the house, and it was only two steps away from the indoor area where they parked their car. No wonder Lu Heng wanted to go upstairs. If the rain kept falling, they would have to move.
Wen Baizhou thought for a while and decided to go upstairs to have a look as well. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Lu Heng walking down.
"Are you awake?" Lu Heng walked to Wen Baizhou and checked his oxygen tube immediately.
Wen Baizhou handed him his coat, obediently turned his head for him to check, and said, "Put your clothes on quickly, don't catch a cold."
Seeing that he was holding the oxygen tank well, Lu Heng took the jacket and put it on. : "Back in the car, the rain is almost stopping."
"Is it going to stop?"
Wen Baizhou couldn't help but look outside the door. The heavy rain seemed to show no sign of abating. Ke Luheng nodded, and he got into the car.
After a while, Yu Xingye also got into the car: "Why haven't you eaten? Aren't you hungry?"
Wen Baizhou shook his head: "I just woke up, I have no appetite. Where is Lian Sheng?"
"Go find water." Yu Xingye said, "We should be back soon."
Sure enough, not long after, Lian Sheng opened the door and got in the car: "No, the acidity of this batch of rainwater is too high and there is no way to purify it."
"Are you thirsty?" Wen Bai Zhou quickly went to get his backpack, "I still have some water in my bag."
Lian Sheng smiled and said, "No. Don't worry, Xiaowen, it's just a precaution. We'll be fine if we get to the next supply point as soon as possible. Supply point There is a large water storage equipment inside. When the acidity of rainwater is low, it will automatically collect and self-purify. It is enough to use it sparingly." "The
rain will stop soon. You can get to the next supply point before dark." Lu Heng He said, "Go to the supply point to replenish water, and then find Ye Chi. You haven't eaten much, so let's eat something first."
Yu Xingye quickly picked up his buns from the center armrest box.
When they left, Jiang Zheng stuffed everyone's bags with at least ten days' worth of individual soldier rations. But Yu Xingye was reluctant to eat it. The packaged buns have noodles and meat, so it is more appropriate to eat them all before opening the self-heating rations.
The steamed buns have become a little hard after being heated for a long time, but they are still the most delicious food I have ever eaten. He ate two in a row, then undressed and fell back: "I'll catch up on my sleep. Call me if you need anything."
"Bai Zhou, do you want to sleep for a while too?" Lu Heng looked back at him from the driver's seat, "What did you do last night?" I didn't sleep well."
Wen Baizhou shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy now."
He was always in a tense mood, and he really didn't feel sleepy. He slowly ate the buns, lowered his voice and chatted casually. At some point, the sound of rain outside stopped.
The sky was still dim and the world became silent.
Lu Heng woke up Lian Sheng and asked him to cooperate with Wen Baizhou to restore the seat. I got out of the car again and checked the tire corrosion.
Wen Baizhou was curious and went to take a look. But he squatted in front of the tire and saw nothing: "Yu Xingye said it was full of potholes. Isn't that a good thing?"
Lu Heng chuckled and said, "It has grown by itself. I'll show it to you next time if it gets hurt." Look."
He stood up and pulled up Wen Baizhou: "Get in the car and let's go."
The deep water on the steps has not receded yet.
As the chariot slowly waded through the water, Wen Baizhou discovered that the buildings on both sides of the road had completely changed their appearance. A strong acid rain further corroded the already dilapidated buildings.
Many dark windows completely changed their appearance. They were connected to the upper and lower parts and turned into irregular huge mouths. Many walls have been completely corroded, exposing the empty steel bars within the walls. If it rains again, it may completely collapse.
Half of a three-story building collapsed last night. The chariot flowed through the standing water mixed with lime in front of it and slowly left the construction area.
When I walked outside, I found that the world had become quieter.
The low trees that could be seen before were completely destroyed by the strong wind and heavy rain. The various animals seen last night have also disappeared. You can't even see any debris in the water deep under the steps.
The world was as silent as if there was only this car and them.
Wen Baizhou felt particularly uncomfortable. He murmured to himself: "It's raining so hard, when will the sun come out?" "
There is no sun." Yu Xingye said quickly, "With the weather we have, there is no sun. , there will never be any sun. If I can give you some light, it means the weather is good."
"..." Wen Baizhou came back to his senses and whispered, "Nuclear winter."
"Well." Lu Heng looked ahead, "It's okay now, the real winter will be more terrifying."
Wen Baizhou turned his head and looked out the window. Even if the weather was bad, he could still see the ice hanging on the tall buildings.
I don't know how thick the ice will become in real winter to withstand acid rain again and again.
"Do you still want to go on missions when winter comes?" Wen Baizhou asked.
"It will reduce the frequency." Lu Heng said.
Wen Baizhou nodded and quietly encouraged himself: "I will train hard and won't hold you back."
Lu Heng couldn't help but look up at the rearview mirror.
Through the helmet, Wen Baizhou's expression could not be clearly seen. But he knew that their little ancestor was forcing himself to adapt to the environment quickly.
Lu Heng stared at Wen Baizhou in the rearview mirror for a few seconds before looking away.
The weather that had just changed was very calm. The chariot maintained a slow speed and slowly waded out of the waterlogged area.
Just as Lu Heng stepped on the accelerator to accelerate, a big stone suddenly appeared in the sky!
"Creak-"
The chariot suddenly stopped, its wheels rubbed against the ground, and made a piercing scream. Everyone in the car leaned forward suddenly under the inertia, and was pulled back by the seat belt.
"Bang!"
The big stone fell in front of the chariot. Immediately, another stone fell.
"Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, several rocks fell one after another, completely blocking the way of the chariot.
The two people in the front car drew their guns at the same time, jumped up, grabbed the operator hanging on the window, and directly opened the sniper grenade gun on the top of the tank!
"We are the No. 01 bunker material transportation team. We are performing transportation missions in this area."
He shouted and looked around with the top monitor before saying, "I didn't see anyone."
"Hiding." Yu Xingye He said, "It's probably those people who are acting so recklessly just after it rained."
"Who are they?" Wen Baizhou couldn't help but ask.
"People on the ground." Lu Heng said briefly and immediately said, "Lian Sheng, continue."
Lian Sheng nodded and immediately continued: "Please keep a safe distance from us. Any behavior that crosses the boundary will be regarded as illegal. If there is a threat to our security, we will take immediate measures."
After he finished shouting, the other party's response was another round of large rocks falling from the sky.
This time the stones fell behind the chariot, blocking the path of the chariot one after another.
Then, a rough voice came from a tall building: "Bunker No. 1, we are looking for you." The
amplified tweeter was not very effective, but it was still audible: "Put down your supplies and get down immediately." Che, I won't kill you. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you."
Lu Heng chuckled contemptuously: "Shoot."
The sniper howitzer moved upon hearing the sound, and its 60mm-caliber heavy bullets shot straight towards the tall building next to the caller. ââ
"Boom!"
The dazzling flames exploded in an instant!
In just an instant, the tall building collapsed like a building block with its base removed.
Lu Heng took the loudspeaker from Liansheng's hand and said, "I'll give you a chance. Say it again."
â 16. Chapter 15 Cloudy Sky
Chapter 15 Cloudy
Sky The rumble of the building collapsing spread far away.
The gray and yellow dust from the explosion lingered for a long time. They shroud the tall building next door where people are hiding, like a polluted cloud.
Wen Baizhou stared blankly at the building that had turned into powder. He never thought that there was such a powerful gun in this car!
A shot knocks down a building. What is the difference between this and a cannonball?
Until the explosion faded away, the world became extremely silent. It was only after hearing that Baizhou came back to his senses.
He looked at Lu Heng in surprise.
Lu Heng looked calm when he ordered to fire. Now that a building has been blown up, it is still very peaceful.
This made Wen Baizhou suddenly think of the dagger against his neck, and the way Lu Heng asked him to call the police because he was seriously injured.
Lu Heng was also so calm at that time. It seemed that no matter what reaction he made, he had anticipated it and had a corresponding solution.
As if sensing Wen Baizhou's gaze, Lu Heng turned back and looked at Wen Baizhou calmly.
"...They haven't spoken, what should I do?" Wen Baizhou met his gaze and asked.
Lu Heng curled his lips slightly: "Then fire another shot."
After saying that, he picked up the loudspeaker and added slowly: "I'm not patient."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sniper howitzer on the roof of the car followed. Steering. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the Tibetan high-rise building.
It only takes one more shot, and the tall building where the people are hiding will be turned into powder.
On the display of the thermal imaging camera, people in that building began to move. Wen Baizhou suddenly became nervous. He breathed lightly and looked at the tall building with mixed emotions.
Maybe a long time passed, maybe it was just a second. There was a high-pitched scream from the high-rise building, which was interrupted by information. Then the rough voice said urgently: "Wait! You have something to say! I'll be right out!"
Lu Heng said only two words to the loudspeaker: "You guys." The
person on the other side was silent for a while, and then spoke again. He became a lot weaker: "...Okay, we'll come out right away."
After a while, two teams of people walked out of the tall building one after another.
The leader was unexpectedly a somewhat stooped man. His hair was as messy as a chicken coop on his head, and he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket whose color could no longer be seen. The cotton gloves on his hands are the same color as the cotton jacket.
He lowered his head and retracted his hands, leading the people this way.
The people in the first group looked normal, but the people in the second group moved slowly as if they were carrying something.
Lian Sheng looked at them through the thermal imaging camera on the monitor, and then scanned the entire building and its surroundings before saying, "There are still a few people in the building behind, and the people in front have all come down. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader waved his hand. Several people from the building behind also started walking down.
After they came down, they looked at the light assault vehicle in silence for a while. A few more people from the first team separated and walked to the vehicle and began to silently carry the large rocks. Not long after, people from the building behind also walked to the car and began to move the stones blocking the road behind the car.
No one in the car got out of the car, and no one spoke.
The people outside moved the stones silently until even the small broken stones on the road were cleared. Lu Heng then unbuckled his seat belt, put on his helmet and prepared to get out of the car.
"Brother Heng!" Wen Baizhou called him, "Are you going alone?"
"You guys wait in the car, I'll go down and take a look first." Lu Heng looked back at him and warned, "Don't get out of the car. In the car. It's very safe."
Wen Baizhou wanted to say something else, but Lu Heng had already opened the door and got out of the car.
He glanced at the people not far away. The leading man looked stunned and blurted out: "It's you!"
Lu Heng's eyes did not stay on him at all. He ignored the leader and cast his gaze directly on the group behind him.
Those in the back formed a circle to protect the person in the middle from the wind. The man in the middle was covered in blood and had to be half-carried and half-supported to stand still.
"You carjacked the car because you wanted to steal the medicine." He said as he walked towards the man.
Others were nervous and even slightly agitated. But none of them retreated.
Lu Heng walked up to the bloody man and observed carefully for a moment, and then said: "The car only has anti-radiation medicine, and acid rain corrosion injuries cannot be cured." As
soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd said with a cry: "Then what should I do..."
"Go back to the bunker." Lu Heng said calmly, "Such a large-scale corrosive injury can only be treated by returning to Bunker No. 1 or Bunker 13." Unexpectedly, when the
bloody man heard this, he suddenly started struggling: "I won't go. ââEven if I die here, I will not go to the bunker!"
He stared at Lu Heng viciously and shouted word by word: "We are human beings! We are human beings, and we should live on the ground! Not like Like mice - you people, hide underground! We want our descendants to be like mice!"
He was almost a bloody man, and he should have been weak and angry. But when he said these words, he still felt the anger of gnashing his teeth.
"Bunker! Lock everyone under the ground! There will never be the ability to return to the ground... You guys are causing endless harm... Ahem..."
He coughed suddenly, and the wounds on his body suddenly opened and began to ooze. Yellow water mixed with blood comes out.
Lu Heng raised his eyes and looked at the leader: "You heard me. I can't help you."
"Lu Heng!" The leader looked at him pleadingly, "Please, even for the sake of... for the sake of everyone being human, Help him."
Lu Heng looked down at him.
The leader clasped his hands together, his face full of pain: "I know we have done enough today, but I can't help it. It just rained and there are no cars outside. He can't hold on anymore... Lu Heng, we haven't killed anyone. "
Lu Heng remained motionless and turned his eyes to look at the injured person. He pondered for a long time before turning back to the car and knocking on Wen Baizhou's window: "Bai Zhou, do you want to come down and take a look?" "
Huh? What's the matter?" Wen Baizhou asked, his hand already Unbuckled the seat belt.
"They have an injured person whose whole body has been corroded by acid rain over a large area." Lu Heng said after considering, "Acid rain occurs frequently here, and from time to time there will be injured people who are burned and corroded. However, such large areas are relatively rare. "
He didn't say it directly, but Wen Baizhou understood that he wanted to make some mental preparations for his life in 2099.
Wen Baizhou put on his helmet and said without hesitation: "Okay, let me take a look."
But he was mentally prepared, and the moment he saw the person, his heart tightened.
The man was thinly wrapped in a relatively clean quilt. His exposed chest and arms were covered in blood. The surface of the skin has already been ulcerated over a large area, and yellow water and blood are still oozing out.
"..." Wen Baizhou opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. After a while, he finally said in a dry voice: "You have to debridement first."
"After cleaning, it's useless without medicine." The leader's voice was drier than Wen Baizhou's. He looked at the injured , even his breathing was a little weak, "I know he can't hold on anymore, I just want him... not to die in such pain."
Upon hearing this, the injured coughed and laughed "ho ho".
Listening to his laughter, Wen Baizhou felt that the messy emotions in his heart were all mixed together.
He was a little scared, a little sad for no reason, and some inexplicable things hurt others. He hesitated for a long time before looking up at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng kept observing him.
When Bai Zhou looked over, he stared into his eyes and said seriously: "Just do whatever you want." Lu Heng paused for a moment, and then added: "We have a lot of experience following Ye Chi's line. There is a high probability that we will meet the supply team coming out of Bunker 13. At that time, I will exchange a batch of commonly used drugs with them."
Wen Baizhou looked at him without blinking, and after a while he nodded with determination.
He turned back to the car and took out two bottles of medicine from his backpack. He hesitated for a moment before turning around and walking back to Lu Heng.
"This black one is iodophor used for disinfection, with cotton swabs inside. The other white bottle is anti-infective drugs." Wen Baizhou handed the medicine to the leader, "We only have so much..."
Like Throwing a fire into the crowd, the eyes of the withered and tired crowd suddenly lit up!
Wen Baizhou looked at the suddenly bright eyes of the group of people and was shocked and couldn't help but take a half step back.
"Thank you, thank you!" The leader stepped forward, squeezed his hand hard, and said in a loud voice, "Kid, you are a good person, a great person! You must remember that we humans cannot live under the ground. Yes! You are so good, you must remember to live on the ground! Blue Star will bless you!"
Lu Heng squeezed the leader's wrist hard: "Let go!"
The leader felt the pain and reflexively let go of Wen Bai. Boat. But Lu Heng still clamped his wrist tightly: "What do you think, I won't interfere. But don't retaliate for kindness." After
he said that, he shook the leader hard and threw him back into the crowd, leading the leader without looking back. Wen Baizhou got in the car.
By now they were out of the wading area, and Yu Xingye sat in the driver's seat at some point. Wen Baizhou watched Lu Heng sit down in the passenger seat before asking, "Are these people... the people on the ground?" "
Well, more or less." Yu Xingye said, "They called us underground rats, so that's what we do Call them."
Wen Baizhou couldn't figure it out at all: "Why do we insist on living on the ground when the ground is like this?" The
constant cold, the ubiquitous radiation, the acid rain that comes and goes... no matter which one is harmful to Life on the ground is a deep blow.
If humans can thrive underground relying on technology, why not?
"There are many reasons." Lian Sheng said, "Some are because of stubbornness, some really think that the ground will be better and freer, and some are brainwashed by weird cult theories." Maybe
people are always in despair. It needs something to support it. Lian Sheng no longer knows how many weird theories he has heard.
He sighed, stared ahead, and added after a while: "There are still some people who came back to the ground because they were sick. In short... everyone may have different reasons." "
But," Wen Bai Zhou couldn't help but ask, "How can we live if we are all sick?"
"We usually live in the remaining buildings, and when winter comes, we burn wooden furniture to keep warm." Lu Heng said calmly, "As long as you don't care about radiation and infection, many people can live Animals can also be eaten."
"Anyway, there are supply points on the road. If you don't have food, go to the supply point. If it's too cold, go to the supply point." Yu Xingye interjected as if chanting a sutra, "Anyway, as long as you don't want to die, there are plenty of places to go."
Wen Bai Zhou listened and suddenly understood why Lu Heng chose to let those people go just now.
He looked out the window at the gloomy sky and sighed inwardly.
...
There were no more surprises in the rest of the journey. When it was getting dark, they successfully arrived at the third supply point southwest of Bunker 13.
But they didn't stay at this supply point long.
Even though they had already passed two supply points, they still didn't see Ye Chi here. Team Ye Chi has replenished the anti-radiation medicine here and has already set off for the next stop.
It had just rained heavily, and the chances of the weather changing again were slim. The few people discussed for a while and decided to drive forward.
There is no clear dividing line between day and night here. The sky is slowly getting brighter, and also slowly entering deep darkness. By the time people notice that darkness is coming, the car lights have already turned on automatically.
Perhaps because of the acid rain, even the animals were much calmer this night.
The company passed two more supply points, and finally at their final foothold, they saw a light assault tank with the "01" logo painted on its body.
â 17. Chapter 16 Support
Chapter 16 Support
"Finally caught up with him. He was in such a hurry, he didn't know what he was catching up with." Yu Xingye muttered and stretched suddenly, "Everyone got off the car, got off the car, at the supply point tonight Sleep inside!"
After he said that, he took his bag and jumped out of the car.
Wen Baizhou got out of the car and immediately shrank his neck due to the wind outside. The night after the rain seems to be colder. He was wearing a thick jacket and a backpack on his back to protect him from the wind, but he still felt a chill deep in his bones.
He put his hands into his pockets and took a few small steps in place. As a result, he turned around and suddenly noticed the assault tank in front of him. The car was pitch black with no light.
Wen Baizhou was a little confused: "Why didn't they leave anyone to watch the car?"
Lu Heng stood beside him and put the hat that came with the jacket on Wen Baizhou: "This is close to the city, there are surveillance and drones Patrol, no need to leave anyone behind."
Wen Baizhou looked up following his line of sight, and sure enough he saw a surveillance camera in a hidden corner of the eaves.
"Let's go, let's go."
Yu Xingye urged. Wen Baizhou came to his senses and quickly followed. As a result, after taking a few steps, the sole of his foot suddenly slipped.
Lu Heng, who was walking behind him, had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed his arm and held him steady: "Be careful, there is ice on the ground."
Wen Baizhou's heart was beating fast. He looked at the ground carefully for a moment, and sure enough he found that the ground should be muddy. I don't know when it started to freeze.
The weather seemed to be colder than he expected.
Wen Baizhou grabbed Lu Heng and stood up straight, not daring to walk any faster this time. Just follow Lian Sheng in small steps and walk slowly. It wasn't until I stepped onto the steps of the subway station that I breathed a sigh of relief.
The group of people speeded downstairs and knocked on the iron door for a while, but no one came to open the door.
"This isn't right..." Yu Xingye whispered, "Where's the gatekeeper?"
Lu Heng stepped forward, holding a gun in one hand and holding Wen Baizhou back with the other: "Knock again."
Yu Xingye heard He said, and simply kicked a few times with his feet: "Is there anyone there?!" He roared, and quietly loaded the gun in his hand.
This time, a hoarse voice came from inside: "It's coming, it's coming, don't worry."
Yu Xingye and Lu Heng looked at each other, pretending to be angry: "What's going on? Why are you so slow? Do you know? It's so cold outside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the small door next to the iron gate opened a crack. The gatekeeper inside observed them carefully for a moment before opening the door: "It turns out to be the law team. Come in quickly. We are out today. Something's up, we're busy inside."
He was still the familiar gatekeeper, but his voice was hoarse.
"Why is it you? Shouldn't there be someone else on the night shift?" Lu Heng did not let go of the gun.
The gatekeeper sighed: "He made a mistake at work this afternoon and was seriously injured. Alas, you will know when you come in." "
What happened? Did someone attack the supply point?"
Yu Xingye entered the door first, and then he He was stunned and quickly put the gun back into its holster: "What's going on? Why is it like this?"
His reaction was wrong, and several other people entered the door immediately.
Wen Baizhou walked at the end and was shocked after stepping into the iron gate.
On both sides of the entrance to this supply point, there were actually many people corroded by strong acid rain sitting against the wall!
Some of their hands were covered with blood blisters, and some of them were drying their feet with bare feet, and the soles of their feet were corroded. Others could only lie on the ground, with their entire buttocks and thighs burned, as if they had fallen into standing water.
They stayed quietly on both sides of the aisle, occasionally gasping in pain as they changed positions.
"The rain stopped today, and someone wanted to go out and take advantage of the chaos to see if they could pick up some food, so they asked for the door to be opened." The gatekeeper said hoarsely, "The gatekeeper forgot to check the surveillance camera at the time, so he just opened the door. As a result yesterday I don't know what happened at night, but a piece of glass was smashed. The entire heavy rain poured in through the break. The water here is at least this deep!"
He said, opening his hand to gesture at a length that was at least two steps high.
"The water came in all at once. The ones beside the door and those in the corridor were all covered in it before I reacted in time." The gatekeeper sighed, "You guys can do it yourself, Captain, we are really here now We can't spare any more people."
He hurriedly left again, and the group of people quickly followed him inside.
When I entered the hall, I discovered that there were many people in the hall who could not sit or stand. They could only lie down and wait for medicine. It just so happens that today is the time to distribute anti-radiation medicine again.
The injured and those taking medicine were huddled together. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the entire hall was filled with people standing or lying down.
Yu Xingye found a familiar figure in the hall: "Ye Chi!"
Ye Chi was squatting to apply medicine to a man with corrosion injuries on the back and outside of his thigh. Hearing this, he stood up and looked around. When he saw them, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Team Lu! Hoshino! You are all okay!"
He was very tall and strong. When he stood up wearing a black combat uniform and a helmet, Wen Baizhou suddenly thought he had seen a bear. .
After Ye Chi said a few words to the injured, he walked quickly towards them. As soon as we walked in, the "bear-like" feeling became even more profound.
"Why are you the only one?" Lu Heng asked, "Where are the others?"
"We went to the two supply points along the route to transfer water and medicine." Ye Chi said, "There are too many injured, and the supplies have been used up for debridement. All drinking water reserves in the site. If you want to replenish water, you have to wait until they arrive. Fortunately, the supply truck in Bunker 13 is not far away, otherwise it would not even be enough for the first batch of medicine."
He didn't care about the extra smell in the team. Bai Zhou continued directly: "It's a mess here now. The seriously injured are all down there. You'd better rest in the office above." "
No need. Where is your rest room? We put bags here to help. "Lu Heng said.
Ye Chi pointed to a location, and Lu Heng immediately took the people there.
After putting away their bags, the group hurried back to the hall. Lian Sheng had an injury on his leg and should not squat frequently, so Lu Heng asked him to maintain order in the hall.
The staff at the supply point had already been busy and dizzy, but they were obedient when asked to help. They will do whatever Liansheng says.
Wen Baizhou took the medicine, put on protective gloves and a helmet, and followed Lu Heng and others to debridement and apply medicine to the injured. Unconsciously, the walk in the hall became easier.
He looked up in his busy schedule and found that the originally messy hall had been sorted out by Lian Sheng's command. He shook his head to shake the sweat off his head, and turned his attention to the wound in front of him.
I don't know how many injured people I have seen.
From the beginning, I was at a loss and panicked, but later I could tell at a glance whether to debridement first or apply a temporary wet compress and then apply medicine.
After the medicine in his hand was used up again, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Lu Heng half-hugged him and helped him up: "Go and rest for a while."
"But..."
"No but. You have a long way to go ahead, and maintaining your health is the first priority." Lu Heng said After finishing, he reassured, "Both Bunker No. 13 and nearby bunkers are sending people over. The distance here is close, and support will be back soon. Go to sleep peacefully."
Wen Baizhou thought for a while and did not insist anymore.
He followed Lu Heng to Ye Chi's lounge. Almost as soon as he took off his helmet and lay down, his eyelids were completely glued and unable to open.
Lu Heng glanced at him, took out a pack of tissues from his bag and wiped the sweat on Wen Baizhou's head, then took a few more bags of things from his bag and walked to the small table nearby.
It took him more than ten minutes to deal with the bags of things before returning to the bedside and waking up Wen Baizhou.
Wen Baizhou was confused when he opened his eyes. He looked at Lu Heng in front of him and whispered softly: "I'll sleep for five more minutes..." "
Get up first, and I'll sleep with you later."
Wen Baizhouqiang I sat up and couldn't open my eyes, but my nose suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell.
This tastes very much like braised beef fried rice...
Wen Baizhou opened his eyes suddenly and saw Lu Heng standing by the bed with a bag of self-heating food: "Eat."
"Where did it come from?" Wen Baizhou stretched out his hand. He took it and looked at the other bag in Lu Heng's hand.
"Lieutenant General Jiang Zheng prepared it when we came out." Lu Heng said, "If you are thirsty, drink something first. I brewed it with the water bag in the self-heating food. The water is very clean."
Wen Baizhou was really thirsty. , he took the bag, took a sip, and stuffed it to Lu Heng: "Thank you, you haven't drank much water in the past two days, and you also need to supplement your sugar. The rest is yours." After
he finished speaking, he took it . He started eating the self-heating fried rice, and added inarticulately: "I fell asleep after eating, drink it quickly."
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the drink bag in his hand, and after a while he smelled Bai Zhou's He urged Li to drink the rest of the drink.
In order to make this drink, he split two portions of his own self-heating food to get half a cup of water. But he didn't expect that Wen Baizhou left most of it to him.
He finished the drink without leaving. He watched Wen Baizhou finish the self-heating fried rice in a hurry, then packed up the trash and left the lounge.
Wen Baizhou was so tired that he fell asleep again. I don't even know when Lu Heng left.
He slept unaware of anyone else, and didn't even have a dream. But despite this, he didn't sleep for long. Two hours later, he opened his eyes reflexively.
Lian Sheng was sleeping on his stomach with his bag at the small table, while Yu Xingye used his bag as a pillow and simply slept on the floor. Luheng was not in the room.
Wen Baizhou got out of bed, gently asked Lian Sheng to go to bed, and then left the lounge.
The lights in the hall also dimmed, and many people were already asleep. There are many people quietly busy in the hall.
Wen Baizhou found that many of the injured had clean bandages wrapped around their wounds. He guessed that support personnel from other bunkers had arrived.
Without any effort, he found Lu Heng who was talking to Ye Chi in the corner.
Lu Heng was a little surprised when he saw him: "Why are you awake?"
"I've slept enough." Wen Baizhou said, "Is there anything else you need help with?"
"No." Lu Heng said, "Ye Chi and I will go up and help you. Transfer the supplies and we can go back tomorrow."
"Then let me go together." Wen Baizhou said, "One more person can always go faster."
The gatekeeper fell asleep on the small wooden table behind the door, Lu Heng Opening the door quietly, the three of them headed for the exit.
The glass break in the ceiling lets in the wind, and through it one can see the slightly brightened sky. Wen Baizhou felt that he was somewhat accustomed to the light after the clouds.
The three of them walked to the car. Lu Heng opened the back door and opened the seat. Inside was a pile of anti-radiation medicine. Wen Baizhou ignored the surprise and quickly helped carry it.
In addition to under the car seat, there were also drugs in the trunk. Finally, Lu Heng handed the three tactical backpacks to Ye Chi: "There are also anti-radiation agents inside. You can look at the distribution." Ye Chi opened the backpack and took a look: "I've never seen this package before .
Where did it come from?"
He picked up a bottle of medicine and looked up and down. The large white medicine bottle was clean and there was no sign of the bunker.
"There are some adventures, it's a long story." Lu Heng said, "When you get back to the bunker, I will tell you more about it when I have time." "
Okay." Ye Chi nodded, "There are only a few of you, so be careful on the way back. ."
"It's raining at the wrong time. You wait until all the troops are here before heading back. Don't take this time." Lu Heng warned. Seeing that Ye Chi had listened, he turned around and said, "Bai Zhou, let's go."
Wen Baizhou stood blankly between the two cars, looking in the direction of Bunker No. 13.
Hearing Lu Heng's voice, he turned his head somewhat mechanically and asked him: "...What is that?"
Lu Heng followed his line of sight and saw a broken stone dragon head.
"It's the second chariot god." Lu Heng said.
The moment Wen Baizhou heard it clearly, he felt that the tense nerve in his head suddenly broke with a "pop".
He didn't even have time to breathe, tears were already pouring out.
â 18. Chapter 17 Cognition
Chapter 17 Cognition
Wen Baizhou hurriedly wiped his face, but only touched the cold helmet.
More dull pain arose in his heart, making him shed more and more tears.
"Bai Zhou?" Lu Heng approached him, "What's wrong?"
Wen Bai Zhou stared at him with red eyes and choked up: "You..."
All he could think about was what Lu Heng had introduced himself to when he first met Lu Heng. That sentence -
"My name is Lu Heng, from the No. 1 underground fortress of Yicheng in 2099."
Wen Baizhou closed his eyes, tears rolled down, and his lips were trembling: "This is... Yicheng."
Lu. Heng didn't understand why: "Yes, it's Yicheng. What you just asked about is our sacrificial god." "
I know..." Wen Baizhou squatted down unconsciously in pain, "I know..." How
could he not know? Woolen cloth? It's just that he thought...he thought that there were thousands of cities called Yicheng, how could it be this one?
He knew this was Long Xia's year 2099.
But everything in front of me was so strange, a ridiculous sight that I had never seen before. Even though some subway stations look familiar, subway stations all over the world are the same and there is nothing unique about them.
All his familiarity comes from the compatriots around him. All familiarity is limited to the compatriots around you.
Emotionally, he didn't feel that the desolate and dilapidated world in front of him had anything to do with him.
He will stand here more out of his own sense of responsibility.
He met it, and only he could see the door, so he chose to shoulder the responsibility.
He knew it was 2099. This is the home of these companions around me.
But not his home.
His home is in Yujing in 2025. His home is fine and he always wants to go home.
But...why is this Yicheng?
He was born in Yujing, but the place where he grew up was Yicheng.
He walked through every street of Yicheng and explored every beautiful corner of it.
He knew that the summer in Yicheng was very hot and there would be many summer migratory birds on the river. There will be many people fishing with one rod per person on the riverside.
It won't be particularly cold in winter. Although it snows every winter, the temperature is still much gentler than that in Yujing. So he was always not very good at dealing with Yujing's winter.
On sunny days, he walked through the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea in the southwest of Yicheng; climbed through the Shiwan Mountains in the east of Yicheng; drilled through the rare caves that took hundreds of millions of years to form in the south of Yicheng; swam through the thousand-year-old caves in the north of Yicheng. Stone ancient village.
Of course, he will not miss the sacrificial activity for the "Second Car God" that every Xiaoman will start.
Yicheng is a city with rich underground water system, and a large river runs through the city. Therefore, worshiping the "Er-Che God" has been an important activity in this city since the farming era.
The second chariot god is a pure white dragon. It is the embodiment of the irrigation waterwheel, but it is also the embodiment of the big river in Yicheng.
They prayed that the little dragon would bring abundant rain like a river, and be obedient like a waterwheel and not flood indiscriminately.
Wen Baizhou still remembers that when he was young, they would dance a pure white dragon through the city and prepare a lot of candies, held by smaller dragons, to give to children on the roadside.
Later, as he grew up, Xiaolong's form also changed.
They started with large flying dragon kites, and then gradually evolved into dragon-shaped fireworks and light shows.
When he grew older, the light show turned into a holographic show, and the flying dragon kite also incorporated modern technology, turning into a drone carrying a flying dragon lantern, flying freely throughout the city.
Just last year, when he was busy working on his graduation project, he made a special trip back to Yicheng when he was still young.
He went to see the new dragon in Yicheng and also visited a stone carving artist in Yicheng.
The artist is Ms. Song's friend. Because of their good relationship, the other party showed him the mini stone sculptures for his next work.
It was a pure white little dragon only as big as a palm.
The artist said with a smile: "Yicheng wants to make our Erche God into a cultural business card to attract more tourists to participate in the Erche Festival, so it entrusted me to make a stone sculpture of the Erche God. I thought, this Don't make it big, very big. If people see it, they won't be able to walk."
Wen Baizhou was playing with the little stone dragon at that time and fell in love with it. She laughed and said to him: "The teacher must put it at the entrance of the highway to give those outsiders a little dragon god shock."
...It turns out that it has been born a long time ago.
This little dragon that he grew up with.
It was here, in Yicheng in 2099, dilapidated, but still looking at him majestically.
This place that was so destroyed by the war that its true appearance can no longer be seen is his motherland.
It's his home.
Wen Baizhou squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
..................
I
don't know how long I cried. It seemed that the dull pain all over his body and the uneasiness of this period had flowed away with his tears, and Wen Baizhou raised his head in confusion.
It was already bright.
With only one dragon head left, Er Cha Shen looked at him intently under the gloomy sky.
Wen Baizhou hugged his knees and looked at it.
I haven't had time to see you this year, Wen Baizhou thought, but now, I might as well see you.
The cold wind blows from time to time, and occasionally the ice on the eaves slides down, making an inconspicuous clicking sound.
Wen Baizhou squatted there and stared blankly for a long time before he wanted to stand up. As soon as he moved, his legs felt so uncomfortable that he grimaced.
After squatting for so long, my legs no longer even feel numb. It was more of a weird weakness, as if the whole legs had disappeared, and they didn't quite obey their own orders. He didn't dare to stand on the ground, so he could only support his knees and try to stand up.
At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wen Baizhou looked up along his hand and saw Lu Heng wearing a helmet.
He felt a little embarrassed, but he still held Lu Heng's hand and stood up: "Brother Heng... you haven't left yet."
"It's not safe for you to be alone outside." Lu Heng said, "Are you feeling better?"
Wen Bai Zhou nodded casually, looked around, and asked him, "Where's Ye Chi?"
"Let him go down." Lu Sheng looked at him steadily, "Do you want to stay up there for a while?"
Wen Baizhou asked. Know how to answer.
He turned to look at the Second Chariot God, and based on the Second Chariot God, he began to observe the surroundings carefully. As I looked at it, some details matched the Yicheng in my memory.
The years 2025 and 2055 are not that far apart. Thirty years will not allow a city to change even its basic urban design.
This should still be the place that used to lead to the highway intersection, but I don't know why a subway station was arranged here. Maybe it's for the convenience of people on the road?
Going further down, the supply point they first stopped at should be along the route outside the city leading to a certain scenic spot. The mountain where Yicheng No. 1 bunker is located is...
"Is it Dongshan?" Wen Baizhou turned back and looked at Lu Heng, "Is your bunker in Dongshan?"
Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then we won't stay." Wen Baizhou said, "Let's go down and call Yu Xingye and Lian Sheng. We can't travel at night, so we'd better set off early."
He still had a thick nasal voice when he spoke, but he had completely calmed down.
Lu Heng said nothing more, just held his hand until he walked up the steps of the subway station, then let go.
When they went down, Yu Xingye and Lian Sheng were still sleeping. Lu Heng woke them up and rushed them to get water to wash up, leaving Wen Baizhou alone in the lounge to pack his bags.
Not long after he left, he returned to the lounge and handed the brand new towel in his hand to Wen Baizhou: "Take off the helmet, wipe your face."
Wen Baizhou took the towel and was shocked by the cold water on it. : "Isn't there no water?"
"The supply point next door and the small bunkers along the line have been evened out, and a batch was sent to Bunker No. 13 this morning." Lu Heng said, "Wash your face and take a moment. Let's Just go back."
Listening to what he said, I felt that this supply point was not short of water for the time being. Wen Baizhou didn't hesitate anymore. He directly put the towel on his face and rubbed it vigorously with his hands.
The cold towel covered his heated eyes, and the emotions still surging in his heart gradually cooled down with his eyes.
Wen Baizhou didn't take off the towel until the towel was stained by the warmth on his face. He reached out and pulled Lu Heng's sleeve. When the other party turned to look at him, he said very seriously: "No matter what you need me to do, I will fully cooperate."
Lu Heng looked at him quietly and suddenly reached out to touch Touched his head: "You have worked very hard."
The little ancestor's hair seemed as soft as his heart. Lu Heng let go of his hand, bent down and picked up the tactical backpack at his feet: "Let's go home."
"Wait!" Wen Baizhou suddenly said, "The dressing on your back hasn't been changed yet! Go and lie down now. Come on, let me change your dressing."
There was only one narrow single bed in the whole lounge. Lu Heng followed his instructions and took off his clothes and lay on his stomach. He turned his head and watched Wen Baizhou dig out a small roll of elastic bandage, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, and a large piece of sterile dressing in his bag.
"No need to apply it." Lu Heng said, "The wound is starting to scab, don't waste the application." "
I won't know until I see it." Wen Baizhou said, "It may hurt a little, please bear with it."
He He carefully removed the bandage on Lu Heng's body and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wound did not tear again.
After he applied the medicine and put the bandage on again, Yu Xingye and Lian Sheng also came back one after another.
Only then did Yu Xingye notice that something was wrong. He stared at Wen Baizhou's face and frowned: "What's wrong with you, little ancestor? Why are your eyes swollen? It's not due to allergies, right?" "
No." Wen Baizhou said, " My eyes were uncomfortable before, maybe I rubbed them too hard." He didn't want to mention this, so he quickly said to Lian Sheng, "It's time for you to change your dressing, Lian Sheng!"
After changing Lian Sheng's dressing, the four of them were in the lounge. After eating the last bun, I left the supply point and returned to the assault vehicle.
The chariot turned around and headed towards the way it came.
The way back is even harder than the way we came.
The sandy land after the rain is full of ice. Drive almost slightly faster and the tank will spin.
Yu Xingye, who was in charge of driving, turned on the grip mode and let the tank slowly move on the ice: "I can't pick up this speed for a while. You might as well put down the back seat and catch up on some sleep."
"I think. Okay." Lian Sheng also said, "Brother Heng didn't sleep all night last night, right? Xiaowen didn't rest for long, just one or two hours, what kind of rest can he get?" As he spoke,
he simply bent down and stretched out his hand, patting He patted Lu Heng who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Brother Heng, I'm here to observe the warning. You come in the back and sleep for a while. I just happened to take Xiao Wen to catch up on some sleep. Xiao Wen's physical strength is quite exhausted."
Lu Heng originally didn't want to hear it. . But after hearing Liansheng say this, his attitude relaxed.
He nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "Okay."
After a while, the two of them changed positions. Lu Heng flipped into the trunk and put down the spare seat, then flipped back into the back seat and put down the back seat in cooperation with Wen Baizhou.
He took a backpack as a pillow and took out a thermal blanket, and then said to Wen Baizhou: "Go to sleep."
Wen Baizhou leaned back and curled up in Lu Heng's arms, and Lu Heng used his jacket to protect him. Wrapped up tightly.
The scenery outside the window slowly passed by.
Wen Baizhou carefully observed the roads that he had not seen clearly at night.
As he watched, fatigue slowly came over him, and it didn't take long for him to close his eyes and fall asleep.
â 19. Chapter 18 Fried Rice
Chapter 18: Fried Rice
: It's raining heavily and the road is hard to travel.
The icy ground seemed to be more difficult to walk on than on a rainy day.
Wen Baizhou slept until the sky dimmed before he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found that the scene in front of him was still vaguely familiar.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up, holding Lu Heng's jacket and asked, "Where have we been?"
Lu Heng motioned for him to look out the window on his side.
Wen Baizhou turned around and took a look. With the faint light from the sky, he found a building complex not too far away. Some of the buildings had half collapsed, and thick ice edges hung on the exposed steel bars.
"...The place where we took shelter from the rain before?"
Wen Baizhou was a little surprised when Lu Heng nodded. It's actually taken me so long to get here. In this case, do they have to spend the night in the wild tonight?
Lu Heng glanced at him and said, "I'll drive slower tonight and won't rest near here."
"Is it unsafe?" Wen Baizhou asked immediately.
"It's okay." Yu Xingye interjected, "Brother Heng turns on the heat sensor, and you can know immediately if there is any trouble. It's just that it will be very cold here at night, very cold. Turning on the heating is useless. So we don't I suggest you spend the night outside."
Wen Baizhou nodded in confusion and returned the jacket he was holding to Lu Heng.
In fact, he discovered it on the day it rained. Four people crowded in the back, and he and Lu Heng were almost firmly touching each other. Even so, he felt a little cold. However, Wen Baizhou felt that if it was just cold, he could overcome such a temperature.
Wen Baizhou felt that he was mentally prepared. Just when he was about to ask everyone if they were hungry, he heard Yu Xingye shouting in a drawn voice: "Hungry-"
He turned his head and looked at Wen Baizhou: "Little ancestor, we have Do you want something to eat?"
"You haven't even looked through your own bag, have you?" Wen Baizhou said, "We have prepared self-heating food."
Lian Sheng was confused for a moment: "What is that?"
Yu Xingye hummed proudly. : "The individual combat rations from the little ancestor's family. Have you never eaten it?"
Lian Sheng automatically ignored his words and only turned to look at Lu Heng: "Brother Heng, are Xingye bluffing me?"
But Lu Heng said: " I'll give you a taste later."
He pulled down the small table installed behind the driver's seat and took out three bags of self-heating food from his bag.
Upon seeing this, Wen Baizhou quickly pulled down the small table in front of him: "Give me one, and we'll get it together."
He reached over to get it, only to find that one of the bags had already been opened. He glanced at Lu Heng, picked up the opened bag of self-heating food and looked inside, and sure enough he didn't see the water bag.
"Then let's pour out the water evenly." Wen Baizhou thought for a while and said, "If it's not enough, just make up some more."
Although they had to save water, they replenished it at the supply point when they left. Amount of water in a bottle of mineral water. It's okay to use a little to heat up rice.
Lian Sheng was a little curious when he heard this: "Does this bag also deserve a water bag? Besides that? What else?" "It
depends on what you want to eat." Wen Baizhou said, "Braised beef fried rice and pickled vegetables Ding fried rice, which one do you want?"
Lian Sheng felt that something was not right about this. He asked tentatively: "Can I choose the flavor?"
"I told you that it was brought out by my ancestor's family, so I can choose." Yu Xingye said, "You should eat braised beef. I've eaten it
before, and it's delicious." "Which bunker did Xiaowen come from?" Lian Sheng asked directly, "You can do it so well."
"It's 2025." Wen Baizhou said, "I came from Yujing in 2025."
Lian Sheng responded with a polite smile: "Then I want braised beef."
Wen Baizhou opened the bag of braised beef fried rice in his hand, and first He took out the water bag and poured some water into Lu Heng's already opened bag, and then said to Lian Sheng, "What you have in this bag should be crispy cucumbers and solid drinks."
He said, taking out the plastic bag Seal it: "Okay, wait ten minutes and you can eat it."
Lian Sheng looked at the bag curiously: "Is that enough?"
"Okay." Wen Baizhou nodded, "There are disposables in it. A paper lunch box. When it's hot, pour it out for you to eat."
He handed the solid drink to Lian Sheng: "This should be eaten by chewing..."
Lian Sheng didn't say he had seen him, he listened to Lian Sheng. I have never heard of the word "solid drink".
He took the small strip that was a little longer than his finger, turned it over curiously and looked back and forth, and then opened the bag doubtfully: "Chew it?"
He carefully licked it, and immediately tasted it on the tip of his tongue. Sour and sweet taste. The stimulation caused saliva to immediately secrete from his mouth.
"Xiao Wen, can this be poured into the water?" Lian Sheng asked.
"Okay." Wen Baizhou said, "Each bag of these comes with a solid drink. I'll give this to you too. Otherwise, the water you mix will tasteless." "
Thank you." Lian Sheng opened his water bottle, Pour the two bags of drinks in together.
He watched the transparent liquid slowly turn into golden yellow, and couldn't help but pick it up and shake it again. When the powdery substance in the water disappeared, I couldn't wait to take a sip.
There was a sweet and sour taste in his mouth, and he couldn't help but take another sip.
"This is so delicious!" Lian Sheng restrained himself and quickly put down the water bottle, "How did you make this?" "
I don't know." Wen Baizhou was extremely honest, "Look at how hot it is."
Lian Sheng looked over curiously and saw that the plastic bag that had been held back had bulged. He simply stretched out his hand and touched it, and his fingertips suddenly hurt: "It's so hot. It's really hot!"
This is amazing!
If Bunker No. 13 could do this, why would they need to eat compressed biscuits or risk hunting when performing their missions?
He stared at the bulging plastic bag until he saw the aroma of fried rice leaking out, and his stomach growled in response.
Lian Sheng rubbed his belly sheepishly: "I'm a little hungry."
"I'll be fine soon." Wen Baizhou said, "I'm hungry too."
Before long, Wen Baizhou pressed the paper into a thin cardboard After holding the lunch box, he put the hot fried rice in the lunch box and handed it to Lian Sheng: "Try it."
Lian Sheng thanked him and sat back with the lunch box.
As soon as Wen Baizhou retracted his hand, an identical paper lunch box was placed on the small table in front of him.
"Let's eat." Lu Heng said, and took out another bag of self-heating food from his backpack. "Xingye, we will change in a while. Come over and heat up the meal yourself."
"Okay." Yu Xingye said happily, " You guys eat first. I'll taste it slowly by myself later."
Even the boy was already eating without raising his head.
The fried rice is still very hot when it comes out of the oven, making your breath steamy when you eat it. But he couldn't wait any longer.
Except for the steamed buns that Yu Xingye brought, this fried rice was the best meal he had ever eaten. The beef inside is the same as the meat filling of the steamed buns, without any peculiar smell.
How on earth is this done?
Which bunker is so hidden and tucked away? Or is it because it is in the trial production stage, so it has not been announced to the public?
The thought ran around in his head for a few times, and Liansheng put it aside completely. Never mind him, Xiao Wen is a friend anyway, and it's not impossible to discuss cooperation when necessary.
A whole box of lunch was poured into his stomach in three gulps, and he even burped while the business was still unfinished.
He fell back in the chair with satisfaction and sighed: "I will never forget this meal in my life."
Wen Baizhou laughed when he heard the sound: "No, I have a lot more here, and there are other flavors. You can Let's eat and see."
"It's worthless." Yu Xingye snorted and laughed at the side, "That's it for one meal, so why don't you go to the little ancestor's house?"
Lian Sheng looked at him sideways: "Have you been there? "
I've been there," Yu Xingye said, "If I couldn't stay for a long time, I wouldn't come back."
Liansheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh! It's a good thing that I won't let you stay for a long time."
Lu Heng listened to their bickering. , and quickly ate up his share: "Xingye, let's change."
Yu Xingye quickly turned on the driving assistance and flipped to the back row flexibly. After he sat firmly, Lu Heng climbed into the driver's seat and sat down.
He turned off the auxiliary system and reminded: "Fasten your seat belts."
Lian Sheng and Wen Baizhou quickly fastened their seat belts. Yu Xingye rummaged through the bag happily: "I have to find a flavor that I haven't tried before."
"Curry chicken, that's it!" Yu Xingye selected it and asked Wen Baizhou, "What is curry?"
Wen Baizhou After thinking for a while, he said, "Potatoes and meat mixed with a lot of spices."
"Potatoes..." Yu Xingye was obviously not interested anymore. But I've never tasted this before. What if it's different from the one in the bunker? He struggled for a long time, but still didn't put the curry chicken back: "Then I'll try it first."
When the aroma of curry chicken rice wafted out, all Yu Xingye's anxiety disappeared: "Why do even potatoes smell so good? Eat, this is too cruel."
He poured the hot curry chicken rice into the paper lunch box. Before he even used his chopsticks, Lian Sheng came over with a plastic spoon: "Try it for me, I'll try it. Spoon!"
"I believe you!" Yu Xingye snorted and handed the paper lunch box next to the passenger seat, "Come on. Just a spoonful."
Lian Sheng tasted a spoonful and felt that he was Hungry: "I feel like I can still eat."
"No, you can't." Yu Xingye rejected him coldly, "I'm hungry."
Lian Sheng waved his spoon and wanted to speak, but Lu Heng suddenly said: "Quiet. "
The two of them moved for a moment, and Lian Sheng asked Lu Heng with his eyes: What's wrong?
Lu Heng checked the thermal imager on the car, but there was nothing in it. He thought for a moment and turned on the near-infrared sensor again. Still nothing appeared there.
He frowned slightly and said directly: "There is a strange sound."
Several people in the car looked solemn. Wen Baizhou and Yu Xingye put down their spoons and listened. I waited for a long time, but heard nothing.
Lu Heng adjusted the range of the near-infrared sensor several times and found nothing wrong.
But he always felt something was wrong. He turned on the high beam and said, "You guys eat first. Stay quiet."
Wen Baizhou quickly ate up the remaining rice in the bowl, and then he looked out against the glass window.
It was almost completely dark outside, and the eyes could only see a pitch-black patch at first. After I got used to it, I saw some outlines of the ground through the diffuse reflection of the car lights.
...Is it an illusion?
Wen Baizhou slowly sat up straight.
How did he see some clods of soil moving?
â 20. Chapter 19 Swarm of Insects
Chapter 19 Insect Swarm
Lu Heng glanced at him in the rearview mirror.
"What did Baizhou find?"
Wen Baizhou pressed against the glass and said hesitantly: "It seems... there are clods of soil on the ground, moving?"
After saying that, he was a little unsure, and quickly added: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
Lu Heng did not take his words lightly, and immediately said: "Does your phone still have power? Shine it with a lamp."
"Yes." Wen Baizhou quickly took out his phone.
In 2099, there is no shortage of electrical energy due to the use of controllable nuclear fusion. He charges his phone almost every time he goes to a supply point. Occasionally I take pictures of something, but more often than not I stay alert and don't think about my phone.
After Wen Baizhou turned on the flash, he clicked on the camera mode.
The pale light of the mobile phone fell on the sandy soil outside the car, looking a little dim. The frozen ground was slightly reflective and looked completely normal.
Wen Baizhou was not in a hurry. The chariot drove slowly, and he observed patiently.
The mobile phone was always attached to the glass window, and the light followed the movement of the chariot passing over small pieces of earth and rocks one after another.
When Wen Baizhou was recording on his mobile phone for almost five minutes, he suddenly discovered another moving stone!
This time there was light shining through, and he was sure it wasn't an illusion! He nailed the light to the stone and kept staring at it, but he couldn't find any other traces until the chariot drove far away.
He took back his phone, clicked on the video he had just recorded, and pulled the progress bar to the end. After reading it, he said firmly: "There are indeed clods of soil moving."
"Let me take a look." Yu Xingye came over and said, "Can you zoom in?"
"Yes."
Wen Baizhou zoomed in on the screen, and the entire phone screen was covered with After only that one piece of earth and rock, the movement became particularly obvious.
Yu Xingye paused the picture and observed it particularly carefully.
He looked at it for a long time and couldn't see anything. That piece of earth and rock seemed to be just a piece of earth, soaked by heavy rain and then frozen by the severe cold.
"Is there something down there?" he muttered, letting the video play again.
At this moment, Lian Sheng said: "There seems to be a strange sound. The rustling...is it the sound of your mobile phone?" "
No." Wen Baizhou said, "I turned on the silent mode, there will be no Sound."
Lu Heng immediately looked at the surveillance camera, but neither the near-infrared sensor nor the thermal imager found anything.
He felt even more uneasy, and immediately said: "Everyone put on your helmet! Bai Zhou, your new protective clothing is in my bag, put it on."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately took action.
Wen Baizhou's new protective suit was obtained by Lu Heng in exchange for ten bottles of anti-radiation medicine when the water was delivered from Base 13 in the morning.
Wen Baizhou was resting at that time, and there was no need for protective clothing in the car, so Lu Heng did not give it to Wen Baizhou.
Wen Baizhou quickly found the protective clothing and put it on directly over his coat and pants. He pulled the zipper of the protective suit, and Yu Xingye had already put the helmet on his head.
"Where do you stuff the oxygen?"
"Give it to me and I'll do it myself." Wen Baizhou said, taking the oxygen and stuffing it into the side of the tactical vest. While connecting the helmet to the oxygen tank, he asked, "Where is Brother Heng's helmet?"
Yu Xingye reached out and unhooked the helmet hanging on the back of the driver's seat, stood up and put it on directly for Lu Heng. He connected the oxygen pipe and opened the internal circulation system of the helmet, and then asked: "What did you find?"
Lu Heng steadily accelerated the car and said in a deep voice: "It might be an insect swarm."
"This is impossible!" Lian Sheng blurted out. , "The strong acid rain has just stopped for a few days, and we don't have the conditions for an insect infestation at this time!"
Lu Heng only said: "The situation outside is not right, be more vigilant."
The tank has almost reached the limit speed of the grip mode, Wen Baizhou Sitting in the back seat, I occasionally feel that the car body is floating. He grasped the hand guard on the car door tightly, turned on the camera mode of his mobile phone and pressed it against the car window.
When he saw it this time, his heart skipped a beat: "The ground outside is moving! The whole ground is moving!"
Yu Xingye rushed over and pressed against the car window to watch together.
This flat road that has been walked hundreds of times, now looking over it, is actually rising and falling rhythmically outside the car window.
No matter how much damage this strong acid rain has caused to the terrain, such changes should not occur!
"That's not right..." Yu Xingye said, "It's really like a swarm of insects, but how could it be..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strange rustling sound suddenly became louder, and it was clearly audible while sitting in the car.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Xingye, throw a piece of meat out." Lu Heng said calmly.
Yu Xingye grabbed the curry chicken rice that he had not finished, moved to the window, opened the door, and threw it out.
The next second, the wavy ground suddenly raised its head like a lurking snake! Countless amounts of black suddenly covered the paper lunch box that had not yet landed.
There was a piercing high-pitched sound from the rustling sound, like some kind of meaningless electronic interference.
Wen Baizhou felt his heart tremble and had goosebumps all over his body. He gasped and asked, "Are those...insects?!"
"It's a swarm of insects." Lu Heng said, "Xingye, return to your seat, fasten your seat belt."
Lian Sheng had already grabbed the spray can next to the door, mouthing Li still said: "How is it possible? How could it happen now..."
Generally, when strong acid rain falls, it will corrode a large number of animals. As the rainwater soaks into the sandy soil, the insects living in the surface layer of the sandy soil will also be melted and taken away by the strong acid rain.
Then, with the erosion of strong acid rain, various bugs in the leach layer and sedimentary layer will also be burned clean by the strong acid rain. Not only that, they will also leach nutrients from the soil, causing further desertification of the land.
By this time, the conditions for an insect tide to form are basically gone.
In their observations, large insect infestations usually began two to three months after strong acid rain. At this time, the insects have obtained basic nutrients in the land, and a certain animal ecology has basically recovered on the ground.
All kinds of infected insects that multiply vigorously and lack more nutrients will follow their instincts and start looking for prey.
"Why aren't you dead?" Lian Sheng tightened his grip on the spray can, "Or...are these insects from a deeper layer? The mineral layer?" The
rustling sound seemed to be approaching his ears, and movement finally appeared on the near-infrared sensor. The entire sensor Dense red dots appeared in the area. They covered the entire area, turning the surveillance screen bright red!
"Liansheng, notify the nearby supply points and bunkers that there is an abnormal insect tide, and ask them to prepare." Lu Heng ordered calmly, "Xingye, Baizhou, prepare insecticides, insects may get into the car at any time. "
Wen Baizhou didn't have a spray can here, so Yu Xingye stood up and opened the roof of the car, and took out an insecticide for him from the built-in locker.
Seeing that they were all ready, Lu Heng flicked his tail, and a burst of white smoke suddenly appeared from the rear of the chariot. The white smoke drew a large arc due to the flick.
The insect swarm ran headlong into the white smoke.
"ââââ!"
A shrill sound sounded more harsh than the previous one, like someone scratching the blackboard with sharp nails.
Lu Heng glanced at the near-infrared sensor, and there was a gap in the dense red. But in the blink of an eye, the gap has been filled again!
"It's a large insect swarm." Lu Heng said, "Spray the inside of the car."
Yu Xingye and Wen Baizhou immediately pressed the spray can.
The insecticide filled the entire carriage with a sizzling sound, and even the vision became hazy. At this moment, a bug landed in front of Wen Baizhou from the roof of the car.
Wen Baizhou moved his steps and crushed the insect directly.
At this time, Lian Sheng turned on the radio in the car: "This is Bunker Material Transport Vehicle No. 01. We encountered a large insect tide in the direction of East 01,35. Repeat, we encountered a large insect wave in the direction of East 01,35. Please everyone Large units should be prepared for pest control."
After he informed, he looked at the near-infrared sensor device again, and the blood-red color seeped out like a sea of ââblood. Liansheng gritted his teeth and said, "There are too many, we can't kill them."
"Try to get rid of them." Lu Heng said, pressing a button.
As the female voice coldly said "Grip mode, turn off", the tank suddenly accelerated!
With the roar, the insects behind them noticed that their prey had flown away, and immediately followed them! The sound of flapping wings came overwhelmingly, and in the pitch-black sky, it was hard to tell whether it was the sky or insects!
The chariot kept drifting on the frozen sand. Lu Heng tightened his grip on the steering wheel and tried his best to stabilize the chariot.
Pesticide was once again sprayed from the rear of the car.
But this time, not even a small gap appeared!
A large number of bugs came one after another, and they rushed to hit the outside of the carriage, making endless crackling sounds.
The car was sprayed with insecticide again.
This time there were more insect corpses falling from all directions! They are looking for ways to invade this mobile fortress.
Wen Baizhou turned his head and looked at the dense insects clinging to the car window. Their mouthparts were facing him, as if they couldn't wait to devour him.
"Hold on tight!"
Lu Heng shouted sharply. He quickly pressed the brakes and turned the steering wheel with his hands. The chariot immediately drifted and spun in circles! White spray was sprayed continuously from the rear of the car, almost covering the entire exhibition car in the spray cloud.
The life-threatening crackling sound gradually disappeared, and a temporary black scene appeared on the near-infrared sensor.
Lu Heng stepped on the accelerator and rushed out immediately!
"Where are we going now!?" Lian Sheng asked.
Judging from their current position, the only place where they could abandon the car and take shelter was the supply point.
Lian Sheng thought about the surrounding environment, and the more he thought about it, the more ominous he felt: "There are so many insects, if they go to the supply point, they will be harmed!"
"Drive directly back to Bunker No. 1!" Yu Xingye gritted his teeth and said, "Such a large insect Only the big bunker can deal with the tide. We must rush back!"
"What if we can't hold on along the way?" Lian Sheng asked him, "These bugs are constantly being killed, but our medicine is limited!"
Once the bugs are killed, The potion is exhausted, and the only outcome waiting for them is to become insect dinner.
Wen Baizhou gritted his teeth and said, "Where else can you go to me? What if... appears again?" "
What if it appears? Isn't it just bringing bugs to your house!" Yu Xingye said, "What are you thinking!" "
We have to try it!" Wen Baizhou said, "I guess nothing can get in without an invitation!"
They had tested the clothes of Lu Heng and Yu Xingye. Although they were very dirty, they did not find any harmful substances. bacteria or other unknown viruses. They are as clean as things found in ordinary people's homes.
Wen Baizhou quietly guessed that this should be the protection given to 2025 by the rules.
Lian Sheng didn't understand what they were talking about. He looked at Lu Heng and asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Heng turned the steering wheel, and the chariot sped away from the supply point at lightning speed.
â 21. Chapter 20 V entry notice
Chapter 20 Entering V Notification
The night seems to be extremely dark. I don't know if it's just that dark or if something is blocking the light.
The chariot turned on its high-beam headlights and sped through the dark wilderness.
The swarm of insects followed, like a moving shadow. No matter whether the chariot is fast or slow, running wildly in an orderly manner or drifting disorderly, it cannot be shaken off.
Wen Baizhou grasped the hand guard on the car door tightly and listened to the erratic sounds outside the car.
There was the buzzing of flapping wings and that strange rustling sound. He even felt that he could hear the opening and closing of the insect's mouthparts.
The windows were covered with bugs.
Wen Baizhou originally thought that the insect tide was caused by a single population, but when he looked at the window, he found that the insects that landed on the window glass looked different. They were layered on top of each other, squirming and crawling on the glass.
Some thin liquid will be ejected from the mouthparts or other places, leaving inconspicuous dot marks on the glass.
Are they trying to corrode the glass...?
Wen Baizhou thought as he clenched the insecticide spray in his hand. He was so nervous that his back was wet, and he didn't dare to let go of his hand for a moment.
The windshield wipers had already been turned on, but the falling bugs still made driving difficult.
When the windshield was occupied by bugs, Lu Heng drifted in place without hesitation, letting the white insecticide mist cover the entire tank.
But after this time, a sharp beep sounded in the tank: "Beep - the inventory is low, please replenish it in time."
As soon as the beep sounded, the faces of several people in the vehicle became even worse.
Yu Xingye licked his lips, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I'll be at my little ancestor's house soon."
"Yeah..." Wen Baizhou nodded nervously.
They were driving very fast this way. We have arrived near the supply point that Wen Baizhou visited before. Just walk through a bare forest and you can return to the wilderness where the small villa is located.
Even now, Lian Sheng no longer has the energy to argue with Yu Xingye.
He didn't bother to care about why Wen Baizhou's home was nearby, and he didn't bother to think about who Wen Baizhou was - no matter who he was! As long as there is a place to hide, anything is fine!
So no matter what Lu Heng and Yu Xingye are looking for, it must be there!
The chariot roared into the woods.
It's dark at night, which is when bats are active. This forest is their favorite habitat. Even if there was strong acid rain just a few days ago, bats have begun to return in the past two days.
They hang in the treetops in twos and threes, waiting for the arrival of prey.
The chariot rushed into the woods arrogantly, and it did not even avoid the dead trees that had long since withered! The rotten dead wood inside was violently hit by the chariot, and its roots broke and collapsed.
The silent forest suddenly became extremely lively, with fallen trees connected to each other, and bats rising in fright, but the swarm of insects following the chariot had already smelled their prey!
Under the high-beam lights, the swarm of insects turned into a black wave facing the wind. They surged up and enveloped them in the screams of the bats!
In the blink of an eye, the insects in the sky scattered again, and only a few thin bones fell from the sky.
Wen Baizhou: "..."
The sweat on his palms made it almost impossible to hold the gauntlet. There were insects flying in front of his eyes, so he reflexively raised the can and sprayed it. But after pressing it for a few times, the insecticide in his hand could no longer spray anything.
"These bugs..." he said hesitantly, "will they eat everything... until only the bones are left?" "
Yes." Lian Sheng said, "So tighten your protective clothing."
Yu Xingye stepped out of the car. He found another bottle of insecticide in the locker above and handed it to Wen Baizhou, comforting him: "Don't panic, don't panic, we'll be there soon."
Even Lu Heng, who had been concentrating on driving and not talking anymore, opened it. He said: "It's just ahead."
The chariot left the woods and ran towards the place in memory step by step.
But in this wilderness, it seems that you can already see it all without getting close.
Within the light is a wilderness without shelter.
Apart from the lights, it's still the same.
The three-story villa that could give them shelter did not appear. What we have above the wilderness is still just endless sandy land.
Wen Baizhou opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Lu Heng glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said, "We can find another place."
Lian Sheng and Yu Xingye didn't speak. Wen Baizhou licked his lips and nodded in cooperation.
He knew in his heart, where else could there be? As long as there is a reliable place, Lu Heng will not risk driving here!
The chariot circled around the original location of the small villa. The swarm of insects swirled behind the car, turning into a large black whirlpool.
Without hesitation, Lu Heng set up the sniper grenade gun on the roof of the car and fired a shot at the vortex!
"Boom -"
The black vortex was brutally interrupted by the howitzer, and large amounts of sand rose into the sky.
The movement of the insect swarm suddenly stopped, and the chariot took the opportunity to accelerate and gallop towards the east.
Leave the wilderness and head into the woods again. The insect swarm followed and swept away all the surviving animals in the woods.
Tiny white bones kept falling down. Occasionally, if they landed on the hood of the car, they would be covered by the bugs on the car. Wen Baizhou didn't dare to think whether they were simply crawling on the bones, or whether they were slowly gnawing at those bones.
The chariot once again drifted in place and sprayed out medicine.
But this time, a harsh reminder told them that the reserve of pesticides in the car was completely zero.
Yu Xingye felt extremely uneasy when he heard this. He pressed the nozzle hard, emptied the spray can in his hand, and then stood up to touch the built-in locker on the roof of the car.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he stopped. After a while, he left the storage box with his hands empty.
"It's gone." He said, "It's over."
"I still have it here!" Wen Baizhou said quickly.
"Save that bottle of yours." Yu Xingye said with a smile, "It's the last bottle."
Wen Baizhou was stunned and didn't speak for a while.
The car became quiet again.
There was no medicine left, either in the car or outside. But the swarm of insects chasing behind them didn't seem to decrease at all.
Wen Baizhou felt that the bottle of insecticide in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. He held it, not even sure if he should use it yet.
"There are too many bugs in the car, so Baizhou will spray it once." Lu Heng said, "Don't be afraid of myrrh. If there are too many dead bugs, there will be no space for them to crawl in
." Lian Sheng laughed out loud after hearing this: "No. Now the time between bugs is much longer than before. Don't be nervous, Xiaowen."
Yu Xingye also said quickly: "It's okay, little ancestor, don't listen to my nonsense. Don't be nervous."
Wen Baizhou smiled and nodded, Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the light in front of him brighten -
the high beam seemed to be shining nearby, and the scattered light source suddenly became extraordinarily bright.
That's a wall of bugs!
They blocked the car windows and blocked the sky. At this time, it also blocked the way forward of the chariot!
Lu Heng didn't blink and activated the sniper grenade gun again without hesitation.
Amidst the loud explosion, a gap was opened in the insect wall, and the chariot came out of the hole. But the next moment, the overwhelming wall of insects fell from the sky again.
They seem to know that this mobile fortress has no more medicine that can kill them. As long as you break through the iron sheet outside, you will get a big meal.
The speed of the chariot has been increased to the extreme.
But there seemed to be more and more bugs outside the car. It seems that all the remaining insects on the road are coming here.
The spray can in Wen Baizhou's hand only had half of the medicine left, and the sniper grenade gun didn't have many heavy bullets left.
Lian Sheng looked at the dashboard and calculated the numbers on it carefully. After a while, he sighed and said, "It seems there is nothing we can do."
Yu Xingye smiled: "It's your turn to scare our little ancestor."
Lian Sheng seemed to want to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he could only sigh and laugh. . He stopped looking at the dashboard, and just slumped down in the passenger seat, looked at the roof of the car, and whispered, "Fortunately, Ye Chi and the others didn't follow us."
They made a lot of noise, and the insect wave followed them. Then the small bunkers and supply points along the route should be safe. They have received the news and should report it to the main bunker. Everyone should have enough time to respond.
Pretty good too.
Listening to his whisper, Yu Xingye hummed and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come out. It would be good for me to be paralyzed by my little ancestor for the rest of my life." "If
you don't come out, you will leave us here, right? "Liansheng raised his eyebrows, "You enjoy happiness while we suffer?" "
Then who doesn't want to enjoy happiness?" Yu Xingye said, "Our ancestors said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. But I have experienced living a luxurious life. He's a person, don't you think so, little ancestor?"
It was heard that Bai Zhou didn't speak.
Yu Xingye turned his head to look at him and saw Baizhou looking straight at the windshield in front of him. The helmet obscured his expression, and his expression could not be seen.
"Hey." Yu Xingye touched him with his elbow, "Little ancestor, do you want something to eat?"
Wen Baizhou came back to his senses. He blinked and said in an erratic tone: "...a decapitated meal?"
"You guys? Is there still such a saying?" Yu Xingye laughed and said, "It sounds similar now."
He seriously lowered his head and started looking for it: "How about we feed these things to those things outside?"
"You dare to open it? Window?" Lian Sheng said, "It's better to eat it yourself."
After he said that, he leaned over and took a bag, and the two of them really started rummaging through it.
"Braised beef, stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables, assorted fried rice, soy sauce fried rice, fish-flavored shredded pork, Dongpi pork..." Lian Sheng rolled his eyes, "So many... I haven't eaten many of them. You guys are hiding your secrets!"
"I won't give it to you if I hide my secrets!" Yu Xingye exclaimed, "Aren't these all just waiting to be eaten on the road? Who knows! I haven't eaten many of them."
He felt a little regretful as he said this.
If he had known earlier, he would have started eating it from the first day, not only eating it all, but also trying all the flavors.
After thinking about it, he sighed and clucked his tongue: "It's better not to bring the little ancestor out."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Wen Baizhou and shouted in a relaxed tone: "Little ancestor, do you have anything? Regret?"
"Huh?"
"I have quite a few regrets." Yu Xingye said, "But if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. In this world, it doesn't seem to be safe. But if you say no It's safe, it doesn't seem like it. After all, it has grown so smoothly."
Lian Sheng sneered, and Yu Xingye stretched out his hand to hit him: "It makes you laugh, doesn't it?"
"I think the bunker is quite safe. "Lian Sheng said, "Most of the time it was safe when I came out. I just had bad luck this time."
"Yeah... indeed." Yu Xingye nodded, "I should have discovered it from the lamp-tailed human-faced monkey. "
What?" Lian Sheng was stunned, "What about the lantern-tailed human-faced monkey?" "When
my little ancestor first arrived, he met a lantern-tailed human-faced monkey. If it hadn't been for me, he would have almost been torn apart by someone's hands." Yu Hoshino said, "This shows that our little ancestor is really not very lucky. I should have discovered it earlier."
Wen Baizhou forced a smile.
"But it's not your fault, it's the fault of this fucking world." Yu Xingye said, "I just think that you are doing well at home. Your home is so good, it can keep you safe forever. We I shouldn't have brought you out."
"I wanted to come here myself." Wen Baizhou said, "It's my own choice, and I accept the consequences no matter what."
Yu Xingye kicked the front seat: "Did you hear that? Look at us Little ancestor, you are so grand."
Lu Heng glanced at them from the rearview mirror.
Yu Xingye's invisible expression, he could see clearly in the rearview mirror.
Perhaps because he was mentally prepared, Wen Baizhou looked much more relaxed than at the beginning. But he couldn't see his eyes, and he didn't know if he was really so willing to accept his fate.
Lu Heng withdrew his gaze. He looked forward and asked calmly, "Does Bai Zhou have any regrets?"
"What about you?" Wen Baizhou asked in return.
"I didn't." Lu Heng said and paused again. He spoke again and changed his answer: "I'm sorry that I didn't establish a stable communication channel."
He rarely has any persistence.
It's rare that something that you definitely want to achieve will fail halfway.
He rarely felt regretful.
Wen Baizhou turned the insecticide in his hand and asked him: "Is this the only one? What about you personally?"
Lu Heng shook his head: "This is the only one."
"Then I'm different." Wen Baizhou Zhou muttered, "I have a lot of regrets."
...There are really, really many regrets.
For example, his graduation project worth six figures has not yet been taken back to show to his family. For example, he agreed to treat Lu Mao to a meal, but he still owed the meal.
Also, he didn't even have time to go to Yicheng to see his second-hand driver this year. He goes to see his little dragon every year, not counting the ruined statue.
And...he kept thinking of his parents crying.
And he swore to Professor Wen that even if he died here, his compatriots would desperately take his bones back.
It seems like no one can do it anymore.
If he never goes back, what will Professor Wen and Ms. Song think? Do you think he is just having fun here and has forgotten his family?
That's pretty good too.
It's pretty good...
Wen Baizhou pursed his lips and suppressed the tears in his eyes.
Lu Heng stared at him in the rearview mirror, feeling regret suddenly rising in his heart.
He couldn't figure out where this regret came from. Lian Sheng beside him suddenly shouted: "There is something ahead!" The
insect swarm had once again obscured his vision. Lu Heng blasted away the insect swarm without hesitation, only to find that there was something coming from not far away. The warm yellow light.
In the vague night fog, a three-story building with lights on appeared directly in front of them!
Wen Baizhou sat up straight suddenly. "Liansheng!" he shouted, "Give me your hand!"
"What?"
Before Liansheng could reach out, Wen Baizhou had already put his arm around his shoulder.
"Lian Sheng," he held Lian Sheng's shoulders firmly and laughed, "I invite you to come to my house as a guest!"
Amidst the laughter, the chariot roared away.
