Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 2293 Hunger
2076. 8, 13

Under the gray sky, a small boat was slowly moving on the sea surface. There were a lot of shipwrecks floating on the sea surface, as well as some garbage, including some human and animal corpses.

The whole sea is full of rubbish, and smoke and dust can be seen in the distance. It seems that something caught fire, and the whole world is in chaos.

Jin was sitting on the bow with Ellie in his arms, Werther was at the helm, Tang Rao lay weakly on the railing, she had been seasick for several days, Guyi was lying on the edge of the cabin, his face was pale and his mouth was chapped.

"See the coast?"

Rose asked weakly. She was lying on the edge of a large bundle of ropes, with her face on the ground. Only Deguna and Werther were more energetic, and the rest were in very bad physical condition.

They have been drifting at sea for a month. The hull of the ship was attacked on the sea surface, and the power system was broken. Relying on the common sense of scientists, they modified the bottom of the ship and drifted along with the ocean current. Fishing for a living, and a simple seawater distillation device to supplement fresh water.

Only in the last few days, the number of fish has decreased, and many dead fish are floating on the water surface, indicating that this ocean has been polluted by something. They deduce that it should be the radiation produced when the asteroid fell, but there is no professional detection around The instrument can only detect through glass, and it is true that the seawater has been polluted by radiation.

In the past few days, they have tried to reduce the water in the community as much as possible, because the polluted radiation and the water obtained with such a crude distillation tool will still remain.

Several people haven't eaten normal food for almost a week. Their next stop is the southern part of Continent Y. The journey from Continent O to here is too far away, but there is no other way. This is the best they can find. good plan.

The plane is basically impossible. They originally wanted to go to the space station, but they missed it in the end. When watching the last rocket lift off, the 8 people were extremely desperate, which meant that they had to go to the space station in this space. Survive in a world that has been completely destroyed and chaotic.

There is another important reason for not choosing land, because an unknown and powerful virus is spreading, and they have seen too many human beings who died because of the virus.

The lethality of this terrifying virus is something they have never seen before. As a virology expert, Werther said that this virus destroys the constant maintenance mechanism of human beings, thus killing all parts of the human body in a short period of time. Tissues and organs go wrong and eventually lead to death.

What they need to do now is to find a shelter to survive before the sun disappears completely, but now they have some differences.

Deguna felt that she would go directly to AS, because of the geographical location there, there should be many people passing by, and it is not too far from the center of the impact, but as long as she runs to the south, she should be able to live.

Witte thinks that they should go to the United States, because people in the United States have had serious disaster paranoia long ago, so many families and places will build doomsday fortresses, stockpile food, medical supplies and water, and some coastal cities may have been hit. , but inland should be fine.

Although Deguna thinks Werther's suggestion is good, it is impossible to go there with their current equipment. Large ships are basically impossible to find, and even if they are found, they have already been damaged. Make repairs.

Gu Yi wanted to find the coast and go to the dragon lighthouse along the coast, but this idea was opposed by everyone. Even the dragon lighthouse could not be safe and sound in this disaster.

Gene and Ellie suggested that it would be safest to go to the highest altitude in Continent Y, but apparently no one had made a final decision.

Such a small boat cannot sail farther from the coastline, and they have to disembark at any time to find some supplies for supplies. However, they encountered wind and waves a few days ago. In order to take the ocean current again, they floated on the sea for several days before returning in the right current.

Everyone's mood became more and more heavy. They possessed various professional knowledge and survived several times in four months. Everyone knew that the extinction of human beings on this planet was only a matter of time.

The sun is obscured by the dust after the impact of the asteroid. This kind of dust floating above the cloud layer can easily combine with the cloud layer and become a semi-solid substance, but it is very slight, floating in the sky. These substances will absorb the sun. Most of the energy in light.

And looking at the deepening of the clouds and the covering conditions, including the wind conditions, it is certain that these coverings are constantly spreading, and eventually the entire earth will be covered by these coverings, and human beings without sunlight will gradually perish after a period of time .

Unless they can find a shelter where they can grow crops, they are bound to die.

The current situation is very clear. Human society and the country have completely collapsed. After all, four months have passed, and four months are enough to collapse the human society that has completely formed a chain.

One or two points of collapse, maybe human beings still have a way to remedy it, but there are points of collapse all over the world, which is unbearable for human beings, and human beings have no room to fight back in the face of nature.

"Why don't you have Ellie?"

Jin asked softly, Ellie in his arms nodded lightly, and Tang Rao looked at the two angrily.

"It really pissed me off."

Rose chuckled.

"Hey, what will happen to us in the future? There should be a very clear signal that there is a problem with our body functions. We have been polluted by radiation."

Gu Yi froze his head with difficulty, shook his head and said.

"It is already a miracle to survive, falling from such a high place."

At this time, Deguna, who was standing on the top of the cabin and holding a gun, became excited.

"I see land."

In the distance, there is a light black thing, which is definitely land. Everyone struggled to get up and began to work on a resolute human-powered propeller they made behind the hull. It takes 6 people to step on the bicycle pedals at the same time, and then the boat Just be able to have motivation.

Now everyone has no energy. This kind of thing is fine when food is plentiful, but when food is scarce, it is simply a kind of torture for people.

Witt held the rudder, and the hull began to move slowly. Li Chu was almost dead. His face was sallow, but he could only pedal hard, because having land means having fresh water and food. Now they see It should be the coastline of a small country in the south of Continent Y.

Gradually, the coast in the distance could be clearly seen, and there was a large piece of green forest. Everyone moved forward cautiously, and Deguna laughed.

"Remember, it was probably on such a coast before that I kidnapped Ellie."

Gene laughed and nodded, and the hopeful light burst out in everyone's eyes again.

The boat started to approach a little bit, and there was a stench. The sea was full of Larry. The woods had already started to wither. The sun was not enough for a long time, and many plants began to turn yellow and black. Not far away was a seaport town. , There are some dilapidated ships on the pier, and the hulls are moving towards the pier.

After a while, the boat finally docked. Everyone was busy quickly, fixed the boat on the pier, and then disembarked. Jean and Deguna both held weapons and leaned forward quickly, and the others also held Pistols looked around.

There was a dilapidated dock in front of her. There was a strong smell when she entered. There were many shriveled corpses. Deguna covered her mouth, ran over, and then rummaged in the pockets of some corpses. Soon she found A few packs of cigarettes, fortunately not contaminated.

"Comfortable."

Deguna lit one and exhaled a puff of smoke, and Gene also lit one. The two came out of the dock and gestured to Guyi and the others, indicating that they hadn't found anything.

Soon the group of people entered the town, there were traces of urban chaos everywhere, and traces of firefights, some traces looked very new, and soon they saw the dead human beings who looked like coke, black all over their bodies, this is that The final appearance of this horrible virus will turn people into coke and directly atomize them.

The dead are not contagious, and the 8 people have been very sure of this point. Li Chu walked up to a painful person with his hands raised, and with a light kick, the body was completely shattered and turned into dust.

"You are really bad fun."

Tang Rao muttered something, and Li Chu laughed.

"It's an eyesore, these things."

Although only one virus-infected person was found, it is certain that the town fell into famine after the virus ravaged the town. They found nothing, and everything that could be taken away was taken away. The modern equipment is still there.

Fortunately, a few people found fresh water soon, and if they continued to drink that kind of distilled water, they would have physical problems.

However, no food was found, and they would starve to death if they didn't get any more food. They might be able to find some edible plant roots in the forest, but none of the eight people had any physical strength.

"Depend on."

Hunger made Li Chu more and more irritable. He kicked towards an already dilapidated door, but he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground. Tang Rao laughed loudly, and Werther went over to help Li Chu. He was uncomfortable. lying on the ground again.

The long-term hunger has made the 8 people unbearable. Gene is still thinking about the solution, but it is useless to think now. If they can't find food, they will really be finished.

The last few times they docked they were lucky and still found a little food, but as time went on, they could find less and less food.

"Why don't you take those corpses and deal with them?"

As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, he felt the strange eyes of everyone, and he said with an embarrassed smile.

"I'm just kidding."

After resting for a while, everyone started to search around again. They had to search the whole town to find something to eat.

Jean entered a yard, and the whole yard was in a mess, and Ellie beside her seemed very weak.

"It's okay, we will find it."

Gene said something comforting, Ellie nodded, and Gene walked into the house, but there was nothing left, and there was nothing to eat after searching several rooms.

Werther and Guyi came to the outskirts of the town. The crops in the fields had long since disappeared. In four months, the place had been turned into a wasteland, because although it looked like it had been taken care of, many The crops died directly, and then there was no direct sunlight, and the land died together.

Tang Rao was lying on a dilapidated bed, she couldn't move a step, she was really tired, seasickness and hunger had given her the idea of ​​dying early.

Rose was still looking for things in front of her eyes, and Li Chu on the street was still banging on some doors with things, not as if she was looking for things, but more like venting her emotions.

Deguna was already standing on a taller house, looking around, she felt that the situation here should have gotten worse before the virus raged, because there were many traces of fighting in the town, obviously old There are more, and new ones are less.

What is certain is that before the outbreak of the virus, serious problems occurred here because of this disaster. From the ships on the sea, it can be seen that some ships were damaged by shells, and they should have been attacked by warships. .

As a professional soldier, Deguna knows very well that people don’t think about food when encountering life-threatening, they will only get rid of the threat first, so this town should be ransacked by the people who came later and took away all the food , but only in the town, a large number of cars can be seen on the road outside the town.

A lot of the cars don't look like they belong here, so where did they come from, certainly off some freighter.

In such a tense situation, where disaster could break out at any time, roads can bring hope to people, and they should all just want to go to a safer place.

Deguna saw a village from a distance, and soon she shouted, and everyone came over after a while, Deguna explained her inference to everyone, there might not be much food in this kind of town, but that There may be food in some remote village.

However, the problem is that the distance is at least 50 kilometers on foot, because Deguna has measured the distance with an optical telescope. The village is so far away, and it is still a bumpy mountain road. If there is no car, they may have fallen down before walking. .

"Eat the last bit of food reserves on board, and then we'll figure out how to get a car."

As Deguna said, everyone finally nodded in agreement. After a while, the eight of them became more comfortable. This little food reserve was enough for them to eat half a bag full, but it was already very luxurious. They only dared to eat it these days A little bit of this food reserve.

Everyone came to a field facing north outside the town. There were some cars everywhere, but many cars were still usable. Unfortunately, there was no gasoline. Many cars still had single holes on them. Some cars looked like they were hit by explosives. middle.

Most of them need to be refueled, but as long as they get an electric vehicle, they can make a battery and charge the car, because the materials in the town are still plentiful.

"I found it. I'm sure it must be an electric car, but the model is a bit old."

Li Chu shouted, and soon everyone saw that the car was in a corner, Gu Yi and Jin, who were more skilled in machinery, ran over, and the two soon laughed excitedly, it was indeed an electric car .

It is definitely not enough to seat eight people, and it is better to have a maximum of three people. Having a caretaker can also increase the speed of searching for food.

Soon Gu Yi, Jin, Werther and Tang Rao began to search for materials for making batteries, and Li Chu fell asleep in a car.

The sky is getting darker and darker, so we need to start the car as soon as possible, and then go to that village to find food. They are still very hungry now. Although they have some strength, they will die if they don't find something to eat quickly.

After a while, they found materials for making batteries in the town, and Gu Yi easily completed the construction, and soon a chemical reaction battery made of bobbins and some dismantled waste appeared.

With tools in hand, Gene and Guyi are pulling out the charging cable from the car's engine, and then charging the car through a voltage converter.

Soon during the test, the voltage transformer responded, and the situation was very stable. After Gene and Guyi carefully docked, the lights of the car came on soon, and everyone cheered.

Li Chu took out a laptop with a little battery, quickly found the access port of the car program, and directly unlocked the car's locking program in a few minutes.

After waiting anxiously for 2 hours, the battery was fully charged and the car started normally. Although Deguna was tired, she decided to drive the car by herself. Gene and Werther sat on it, and the others went to collect fresh water and find a place to spend the night. The place.

After all, they are already too tired, and they must cultivate their bodies here before they can continue the journey below.

"What if you can't find food?"

Deguna asked, Gene laughed, and Werther in the back seat half-closed his eyes. Fortunately, the road to the small village was not too bumpy, and the car had good power, so Deguna accelerated the speed.

Although there are some abandoned cars along the way, the road is still passable.

"Get some sleep, Gene."

Deguna was talking, and Gene laughed. He looked at Deguna now, his expression had completely changed, and the others were the same. At first they had a certain amount of hostility towards each other, but in just four During these months, the eight experienced life and death. They all gradually understood each other and began to accept each other.

In Jean's view, Deguna used to be a cold-blooded soldier, and in Deguna's view, Jean was an out-and-out bastard.

"By the way, Deguna, there is one thing I've always wanted to tell you."

Deguna looked at Jean suspiciously.

"You seem to be getting younger."

"Is this signaling something to me? Ellie will be sad if she hears it."

Gene laughed, shook his head and said.

"It's true, and other people should feel the same way, you're getting younger."
