apocalyptic cave life

When they were 20 meters away from them, the cross-country slowed down, and someone shouted: "Speak! Are you alive!?"

Xie Gaowen hurriedly responded: "Yes! Yes! Where did you come from!?"

Suddenly a woman screamed in the car: "Zhang Shu! Is it Zhang Shu!!!"

Even if she screamed, Zhang Shu remembered her with a nice voice. He raised his hand to block the glare of the sun and saw a woman who jumped out of the car and stumbled towards Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu said slowly, "Zhang Juan?"

Zhang Juan had already run more than 20 meters and hugged him, crying and laughing incoherently.

It took a while for Zhang Shu to understand why she was so excited.

She was also taken by the train to the containment area of ​​ZY Village. After getting off the train, she approached the leader of the army and asked for a car and driver to take her to K City.

That was what happened at noon the day before yesterday. There are nine containment areas in K city, and her son is in the sixth district, the city people's hospital.

She successfully entered the sixth area. At that time, there were many wandering zombies outside the containment area. She thought the containment area was safe, but she didn't expect that there were gunshots from the fifth containment area next to her that night. Very dense, and then the connection between the two containment areas was broken.

Early the next morning, the body of the deceased who died earlier in the People's Hospital came back to life...

Because Zhang Juan often communicates with high-level officials, a leader sent her a car from another place to pick her up and her son. She originally wanted to go to another safe containment area, but halfway through, all communications were cut off, and she was almost surrounded by zombies. .

If it wasn't for a policeman who was sent to pick her up with a gun, they might not be able to escape at all. They hid in the library all night and dared to drive out of the city in the daytime. Her son was bitten by a zombie.

Zhang Shu looked at the policeman who was leaning on the car door, standing far away and not coming, and only then did he understand why he didn't approach.

Being bitten is equivalent to being sentenced to death.

What is commendable is that the policeman insisted on bringing Zhang Juan and her son here.

As soon as the words were spoken, some zombies heard the movement of the vehicle and staggered out from their hiding places.

Zhang Juan asked the two of them to get in the car. Xie Gaowen was reluctant to bear the cement. The policeman heard the handcuffs from his body and said from a distance: "Use the three-wheeled off-road to go! Get in the car!"

Zhang Shu and the others pushed three rounds past, and when they got closer, the policeman was only in his early twenties, very young, but his face was gray and red, and his body temperature was already rising.

"Which of you can drive?" he asked.

Xie Gaowen said, "I will...not have a driver's license."

The little policeman smiled bitterly: "No one will check your driver's license in the future. Don't go to the city. You can drive this car as you please."

Zhang Juan sat in the back seat of the car and asked, "Li Jun?"

The little policeman shook his head at her: "I think I'm almost there. Now that you have found Zhang Shu, I'm relieved."

Zhang Juan asked in surprise: "You won't go to the cave with me anymore!?"

Still shaking his head, his eyes were a little dizzy and he said, "I'm hopeless, you guys hurry up!"

The zombies that came out walked slowly in the sun, but they still walked towards the group of them step by step.

Zhang Juan cried "Wow", her son who was sleeping in the car was awakened, and when he saw his mother crying, he also cried in fright.

Zhang Shu silently sat in the co-driver's seat, looking at the policeman under the car whose police uniform was torn and covered in blood—he had always disliked people in this profession, but from now on, he would wear clothes with this person. People in the same uniform maintain a minimum of respect.

Xie Gaowen, who had just escaped from the mouth of the zombie, naturally understood that the bitten person was hopeless, sighed heavily, climbed into the car and closed the door, and the little policeman went to the back and handcuffed the front of the tricycle with the off-roader, and patted the rear window.

Xie Gaowen started the car and drove out slowly. From the rearview mirror, he saw the little policeman taking out a knife and facing the zombie. He didn't dare to look more, so he stepped on the accelerator hard. Zhang Juan cried heartbreakingly and hugged the zombie tightly. Looking at her son, without turning her head once.

Zhang Shu knew that she wasn't just pretending, but when she looked back, she might jump out of the car and run back...

After entering the instrument factory, Zhang Juan was still sobbing softly. Her son's face was pale, he didn't know what disease he had, and he looked very weak.

Zhang Shu asked, "What medicine does he want to take?"

Zhang Juan wiped her eyes, and said after a while, "I brought it, and asked the doctor to prepare a pack for him to keep in the hospital."

"That's good."

She is so young, about four years old, if there is no medicine, she will die easily.

The speed of the car was fast, and the startled zombies slowly moved into the sun. They could no longer see the shadow of the car passing by, and staggered back into the shadows.

The plastic bag was blown up into the air, and a zombie was staring at it. It was stabbed by the sun, and the corners of its eyes were bleeding. There were only bloodshot eyes in the pupils, without any brilliance.

The off-roader didn't drive into the yard, and the car was covered in blood. If it wasn't washed away, it might attract zombies outside.

There were more than 100 meters away from the cave, so Zhang Shu asked Xie Gaowen to stop the car. There was a ditch beside the field, and the clear water flowing from the mountain flowed. The water in the ditch was poured on the car, and the outside was completely cleaned before driving into the yard.

It was Zhang Shu's intention to stop in the cave.

The glass on both sides of the car is broken. If it is parked outside, what if a zombie crawls in at night?Anyway, it only takes up a little space to park in the hole, so I won't put it outside.

Now I have a car, and there is still a lot of gas left, but... the K city that Zhang Juan said is not allowed to go anyway.

She knew that Zhang Shu's parents were in a hospital in K City, and she said it mildly. She only said that even if Zhang Shu went, he would not see him. It was impossible to rush into the containment area. The day before yesterday was fine. The area outside the area is filled with dense crowds of zombies. Without tanks and armor, no one can break through.

Zhang Shu saw that she hesitated to speak, and if she didn't say anything, the chance of her parents surviving was probably less than one in ten thousand.

Although the hospital has medical facilities that are not available elsewhere, it is also the place where infection is most likely.

Zhang Shu sat beside the off-road vehicle for a long time before saying to Xie Gaowen, "I'm not going."

Xie Gaowen rubbed Zhang Shu's head as he did to his own junior, and went inside to make something for Zhang Juan's mother and son.

After Zhang Juan and her son Zhang Linde were full, she gave little Linde some medicine, and little Linde's complexion improved slightly.

There is a private toilet behind the small house outside the iron gate. Zhang Shu told her the location, and told her to go in and out and lock the door, and put the key in the crack on the top of the door. Zhang Juan agreed one by one.

The off-road vehicle is too loud, driving it out will only attract zombies, and before finding more gasoline, it is best to keep the gasoline in the car as a spare, so that it will not be used when it is really needed.

It was only noon when Zhang Juan took Xiao Linde to eat and went to bed in the car. There was still half the day, Zhang Shu and Xie Gaowen unloaded the cement ash bag and came out together.

Zhang Shu moved a family the day before, and this afternoon Xie Gaowen and him took all the usable things from the rest of the family back to the cave in several trucks. The sun went down again in a hurry.

Now Zhang Shu knows how those sounds like wild beasts come from, whining one after another, the zombies hiding during the day come out at night, I don’t know how many of them are wandering outside in the darkness where there is no light anymore .

Since she didn't go to City K and knew from Zhang Juan's mouth that the world had completely changed, she should think carefully about her plan to live in the cave for a long time.

The food I found in the past two days included twenty catties of rice, three handfuls of noodles, two eggs, a few catties of dried vegetables, half a bag of flour, and two bags of snacks brought by Zhang Shu and Xie Gaowen from the train. There were seven packs of instant noodles inside. .

very few……

The water tower is on the top of the mountain, and drinking water is not a problem, but the problem of food is imminent.

Zhang Shu took the eggs to Xie Gaowen, and asked Xie Gaowen to make a bowl of steamed eggs for Xiao Linde——Little Linde was still sick, even if he had enough food, he had to keep up with his nutrition.

As for himself who is still growing, Zhang Shu has no choice but to think too much about it.

In fact, the dozens of acres of rice on the opposite side of the dirt road are already ripe. If they can be harvested and shelled, there will be at least a few hundred catties of rice per mu of land. But as the days get shorter, there is not enough time to find ready-made rice. How can we rely on manpower? Turn paddy into rice?Unless you find a machine.

If there is a machine, the land can be used to plant other crops in the future, so there is no need to worry about food.

Going in from the road outside the cave, there is a village further inside the provincial construction. In addition to the machines they urgently need, they may also find seeds. Land - a village in the mountains, where a few people slept.

As soon as Zhang Shu hit the pillow, the NPC who hadn't bothered him all day spoke up.

— Just killed one?

(how do you know?)

——Inside view.

(what?)

——I don’t know what is inner vision?

(what?)

——Do as I say, sit cross-legged, with five hearts facing the sky... Do you have legs?

(Yes, thank you.)

- That's good.

(What is Five Hearts to Heaven?)

——Why don't you know anything! ?

NPC Yunjiu didn't speak for half an hour, Zhang Shu didn't understand why he was so irritable.

——You are irritable!

(...)

——The five hearts are the heart on the top of the head, the palms of the hands and the palms of the feet.

(It turned out to be this. Master taught it before, but I only learned about qigong casually, and did not go deeper when it came to "nourishing qi".)

——It is unfortunate for the master to receive a disciple like you.

(Nonsense! I belong to the provincial team!)

— Do as I say!

Yunjiu didn't ask, but Zhang Shu just realized that the NPC didn't understand what he said, so he got angry.

Yunjiu is quite individual, so intelligent.

— can you do it?

I don't know if Zhang Shu guessed it right, Yunjiu didn't get entangled in the issues Zhang Shu was thinking about, and focused on the center of the topic, not biased at all.
