Apocalyptic Tundra Age

Xu Zhonglei grew up with orthodox education and propaganda. During the Wenchuan earthquake and Yushu earthquake, he responded to the call and borrowed pocket money from his grandmother for several months to donate.

He has always upheld a simple view of life in his heart: he cannot watch a person die in front of him, except for the death row prisoner.

So when he meets someone he can help, he still spares no effort.

For example, the man with his sleeping bag and his clothes covered.

Taking advantage of the time when Dr. Zeng was taking care of the patients, Xu Zhonglei came back in the heavy rain, fed the cats and dogs, changed his clothes, filled his stomach again, and took a risky move out of the basement with a bag of rice and a bag of candy .

After Xu Zhonglei gave the rice to the woman who cooked, he got into his car again and stuffed the man's soaked clothes into a plastic bag. These things were dripping with water and made his car dirty. Put them in first. Get up and return it to him when the time comes.

Stuffed and stuffed, Xu Zhonglei touched something hard, the size of a palm.

Xu Zhonglei turned it out and found a certificate.

Police card?Xu Zhonglei opened the drenched ID, the words and photos inside were very clear, and the photo was of the lying man.

Cheng Yuming?domain name?It was the first time I saw someone whose name was a URL, haha.

The information in the certificate shows that this Cheng Yuming was born two years later than himself. He is 25 years old. He is the younger brother of a policeman?

Strange, this person's work address is XX Branch of Guang'an City, this place was where Xu Zhonglei stayed before.

Xu Zhonglei thought to himself, is this really a wonderful world?Rescued someone casually, a little policeman from his second hometown?The little policeman doesn't have a holiday on New Year's Day?Come all the way to their small village.

Xu Zhonglei put away all his clothes and went to find Xu Zhiping.

Let's rest, little policeman!

The men and women living in the village did not rest, and they braved the heavy rain to try to find survivors, but when they returned to the temporary residence at night, they did not rescue a single person.

Hope is fading, with constant aftershocks, torrential rain, and nearly 30 hours since the major earthquake.The heavy rain caused hypothermia, the aftershocks would take away the breathing space of the survivors, and there were ruins everywhere. Even if there were survivors, no one knew where they were.

When Xu Zhiping ate, he was very silent, didn't say a word, and frowned.

The village chief put down the bowl and chopsticks and said in a low voice, "After dinner, we will have a meeting in the village."

The survivors of the village are all here.

Xu Zhonglei secretly counted, including him, six children, and two seriously wounded, there were only about thirty people in total.

The eating, drinking, drinking and playing mahjong squad represented by Xu Tianci, together with family members, accounted for eleven of them. Xu Zhonglei was worried about the village chief, and these people were not easy to manage.

The old, the young, the sick, all gathered in one room. The atmosphere was very oppressive, and no one spoke first.

The village head cueed Xu Zhonglei first: "Shitou, you went out today, how is the situation?"

"Ahem, then I'll say it." Xu Zhonglei sorted out his language and said slowly, "The road from our village to the town is blocked by rocks and mud rolled down from the mountain. The person in my car is It was dug out from the mud pile. The situation of several villages on the road is similar to ours. The houses have collapsed. There are many people in the town. I’m afraid the situation is worse than ours. Rescue should not come. The roads are blocked. There's no way to get in."

The village chief nodded, and said, "Zhiping, tell me, what should we do now?"

Xu Zhiping stood up and looked at the anxious villagers: "Rescue can't come in, we can only save ourselves, there is no hope of saving people from the ruins, the most important thing is to settle everyone down first, I have a few ideas, big guys Listen to it!"

"First, there are still 33 people left in our village, and the amount of food we need to fill our stomachs every day is not a small amount. Almost every household in our village has a warehouse for storing grain. The big guys took advantage of the small earthquake and dug a little bit first. , it’s important to eat first.”

"Secondly, when digging for grain, bring back clothes, quilts, plastic bags, plastic spoons, these things are intact. Now that everything is missing, and the quilts of dead people are also brought, this is not the time to be particular about it."

"Thirdly, so many people died in the village, and every family has to hold a funeral. I thought, why not do it together, dig a big hole on the ancestral grave in the village, and bury them together. There is no way, this is the only way now, I can't accept it , when the situation is better, dig it out and do a ritual."

"Fourth, our village committee has only the village head. Don't form a small group, don't be lazy, swear behind your back, and talk to your face. Everyone is from the same village, and it's not easy to survive. No more conspiracy."

"For the few items I mentioned, what questions do you have, and what do you think?"

Xu Zhonglei couldn't remember what each family said. It was probably a quarrel caused by the survivors of each family scrambling to think for themselves. Fortunately, they finally reached a consensus and each rested.

----

On the third day after the earthquake, Xu Zhonglei felt that the frequency and magnitude of the earthquake had become smaller.When he was looking for information, he heard a saying that earthquakes are the way the earth releases its internal pressure every now and then, and after the release, it stops.

It seems that this time, Brother Earth is under a bit of pressure, and the scope of the earthquake even spread to his small village at the junction of the plates.

Fortunately, after being so angry, he should be able to calm down for a while.

Xu Zhonglei did not follow the large army to carry the corpses in the ruins and rummaged through the food, but returned home. He had to feed the dogs and the chickens that had not been crushed to death by the house, and he had to give medicine and nutritious food to the patients in his car .

His house was almost destroyed. Looking at all kinds of decorations rolling around the floor, desk lamps with broken ends and ends, and a TV set that fell on the floor, his eyes went dark.My three dirty pets are playing disco at home, and there are dog footprints and cat footprints everywhere.

However, it was not time to tidy up yet. He moved another bag of rice, a bag of salt, and cat and dog food from the basement into the kitchen. In the basement, Xu Zhonglei did not put up the wooden shelf, so the loss was not serious. It is dark and not autumn, and things are hard to find.

In the kitchen, the upright refrigerator was still in good condition when he left yesterday morning, and it has now fallen directly on the ground. Fortunately, the three freezers in the storage room are not in serious condition. I glanced at the thermometer that fell on the ground and it was not broken. It turned out that the temperature dropped so quickly that it only took three days to go from 40 degrees to 20 degrees.

He can't move the freezer temporarily. Although the electricity is cut off, the residual air-conditioning and the low temperature can help him preserve the meat in the refrigerator.As soon as it is taken out, the meat will stink within five days.

It took Xu Zhonglei a lot of effort to straighten his upright refrigerator. In the upper freezer, Xu Zhonglei's milk, eggs, fat house happy water, Red Bull, vegetables, fruits, tomato sauce, etc. It swayed back and forth with the earthquake, and turned into a mass of yellow, yellow, white, red, green, and green, mixed with glass shards and wrapping paper.

Xu Zhonglei picked out the well-packed items, silently opened the back door connected to the kitchen, and invited the refrigerator out.

The storage area of ​​the vertical refrigerator freezer is limited, and Xu Zhonglei didn't put a lot of things in it, only a lot of quick-frozen dumplings and quick-frozen buns that he bought before he was too lazy to cook.These things have long been delivered to the stomachs of the villagers, and Xu Zhonglei has also eaten a lot.

There is also a small bag of ten slices of seasoned pork chops, a few pieces of cured fish that Xu Zhiping's wife, Sister Liu, sent over several times, and a cured chicken. Xu Zhonglei felt that it was too troublesome to make these, so he kept them in the refrigerator and forgot to eat them.

Xu Zhonglei tried to turn on the fire, good guy, the biogas stove from his own biogas pit can still be used.

So he fetched a few buckets of water from the well of the old house, cooked a pot of cured chicken porridge for himself, and steamed rice dumplings that he had forgotten to eat several times on top of the cured chicken porridge.

At that time, Xu Zhonglei used a nylon net to lean against the fence and pulled a chicken coop from the old house to the new house. The chickens were caught directly from the chicken farm. The back door of his kitchen was the only exit and entrance of the chicken coop. Don’t worry. The chicken ran away.

As a result, the chicken coop has collapsed, and Xu Zhonglei can't even find a chicken feather.

Earthquakes are ruthless, people can't run away, and neither can chickens.

Xu Zhonglei tentatively moved a few bricks from the old house, and saw the dead hens. After searching carefully, he finally found four hens that had been accidentally crushed to death by the bricks.

It's just that there is no bloodletting, the chicken may not taste good.

Xu Zhonglei put the hen away, went back to feed the dog, boiled another pot of hot water, turned the naked man out of the sleeping bag, filled the little policeman named Domain Name with sugar water, and fed him again medicine.The little policeman was still having a fever and whimpered meaninglessly from time to time. Xu Zhonglei had a fit of philanthropy, and took out blankets and quilts from the bedroom cabinet to equip the little policeman.

Ah, I'm always too soft-hearted~ too soft-hearted~

Xu Zhonglei looked at the situation of his soilless cultivation laboratory again, it was shocking and horrible!He spent huge sums of money to buy hydroponic equipment!All, not one left, are all glass!Why didn't the boss say that tempered glass will break if dropped on the ground!

Frustrated, he put away the glass in the hydroponic room, and then looked at the condition of his own wall. Alas, it was even more unlucky, there was only half of the wall left.

Xu Zhonglei packed four hens, cured fish and cured chicken in the refrigerator, and prepared to return to the camp.He couldn't finish these things by himself. Now that the refrigerator is broken and there is no electricity, instead of letting these things break down, it's better for everyone to eat together, at least it can add a meal to the wounded and sick.
