I take skeletons to the apocalypse

"What's going on outside? I wanted to turn on the news to check the situation, but now the battery is out, and I can't watch the TV." Cao Jin put the bowl and chopsticks heavily on the table.

"You don't have to watch TV, you can just check it online... Why is there no internet? Do you still have internet on your mobile phone?" Qi Xiaoxue stared at the notice that he could not connect to the internet, with a look on his face. restless.

"It was gone last night." Yu Qianqian raised her head and glanced at her: "Last night, halfway through the drama, the internet suddenly went down. I thought it was because the signal here was unstable."

Qi Xiaoxue clutched her mobile phone and became uneasy: "Then what should we do? Could it be that we can't receive news from outside at all? This is a monster again, and the power is cut off and the Internet is cut off. What is said on the Internet about the end of the world can't be true, right? ?”

"What are you talking about? There are just a few little monsters, ordinary people can't handle them, can't the higher-ups also handle them?" Cao Jin shook his legs irritably: "Isn't it just a temporary disconnection of the Internet and power supply? If it doesn't work, some monsters can't deal with the nearby monsters." The wiring was bitten. If I ask you, you girls just like to scare yourself."

Zhang Yunhan silently took out a headphone cable from his pocket, plugged it into his mobile phone, and turned on the radio.

A broadcast with the sound of electricity was inserted between several people: "Today, there have been large-scale power outages and power outages in many places. The relevant departments said that it was because the water and power supply units were attacked by mutated animals and plants, and the facilities were severely damaged. It is no longer able to operate normally. Please reserve your own food and water sources to ensure basic living needs..."

"Experts have discovered a crystal in the body of mutated animals and plants, which contains a mysterious energy that has not yet been mastered. Experts suspect that this crystal may become the culprit that causes the mutation. Experts named this crystal as the mutant nucleus. Specifically The cause is currently under further investigation.”

……

"Recently, rumors about the end of the world have been rampant. Some criminals are waiting for the opportunity to burn and trample on the law. I would like to remind all residents not to spread rumors or believe rumors. Relevant emergency rescue work has been carried out one after another. Residents are requested to stay at home as much as possible. Protect your own life and property, and wait patiently for rescue."

Everyone listened to the broadcast, and their expressions gradually settled down.Fortunately, I have said that it can be controlled, and there should be no major accidents, as long as I wait for rescue with peace of mind.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

Cao Jin raised his brows and said to Xiaoxue, "Look, let me tell you, there is no apocalypse at all, so don't scare yourself. Let's wait here for a few days, and rescue will come."

"Well, my husband is right. I was thinking too much." Qi Xiaoxue said obediently, and put the eggs peeled for Cao Jin into his bowl.

Xia Xi lowered her eyes and drank the porridge quietly with a bowl in her hands.

He knew that the situation would not get better, it would only get worse.Finally slipping into the abyss of doom.

Perhaps the people above still sincerely feel that the variation of animals and plants does not pose too much danger, but this is only because the variation of animals and plants is still in its infancy.Neither the quantity nor the level has yet grown up.So it doesn't seem so deadly for the time being.

Xia Xi didn't know how long it would take for this doomsday to completely stick out its deadly fangs towards humans.But it shouldn't be too long. Before high-level mutations appear, mutant animals and plants will first form a numerical advantage and compete with humans for living space.

After all, their number was far more than that of humans.Especially those inconspicuous, but too numerous to count - bugs.

Xia Xi intends to remind Zhang Lin that the electricity has been cut off, and the next step is probably to cut off the water and gas. It is necessary to prepare food that does not need to be cooked and is easy to store in advance, and use the containers in the house to store as much water as possible.

But someone said it faster than him.It was Zhang Yunhan, Zhang Lin's cousin who had always seemed too silent.Her voice is not loud, but her thinking is very clear: "Even if there is rescue, I don't know how long it will take. We still have to prepare for the worst."

"Sister, find all the containers in the store and store as much drinking water as possible, at least enough for everyone for a week. If the water is cut off later, or the nearby water source is polluted, we will not die of thirst in a short time. .”

"The same is true for food. The refrigerator can no longer be used, and all the things that are not easy to store are directly made into food, such as biscuits and rusks, which are convenient to store and easy to carry. As for those snacks and instant noodles that can be stored for a longer time, this Don't move for a few days, save it until the end."

"Also, it's the end of summer now, and the temperature may drop next. We should take advantage of the daytime to find some bedding and clothes nearby to keep out the cold."

"As for the lack of gasoline power generation... sister, can you contact the nearby gas station?"

Zhang Lin shook her head: "I don't drive, and I haven't paid much attention to the location of gas stations, but there must be none in the nearby streets."

Cao Jin frowned and thought for a while: "Hey, my car is not far from here, and there should be more than half a tank of gasoline in it. No, I'll get a bucket later, and find a pipe to pump out the oil first. , to the generator emergency."

"Is it possible?" Zhang Lin's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, but there are conditions. You have to..." Cao Jin pondered for a moment, as if he planned to exchange gasoline for some corresponding benefits.

"Wow, that's great, you can charge your phone!" Yu Qianqian's crisp cheers interrupted Cao Jin's conversation. She looked at Cao Jin happily, as if she didn't remember that she complained about him in the morning. Wang Wang's eyes were full of admiration: "Brother Cao, you are so kind! You are willing to give us gasoline for free!"

Listening to Yu Qianqian's flattery, Cao Jin watched her eyes shine brightly, and looked at him with admiration on her face, with a little complacency in her brows and eyes, and she had long since forgotten about the conditions: "It's just a tank of gasoline. That’s all, it’s not worth a few bucks.”

Zhang Lin: "Then let's assign tasks. Xiaohan came to help me make biscuits together. Qianqian and Xiaoxue were responsible for finding containers to store water. There is still an open space in the storage room. The containers can be put there first after receiving the water. Cao Jin went to get gasoline in the car, and Xia Xi rested first."

Cao Jin already had some opinions on Xia Xi, but when he heard about the division of labor, he immediately shouted: "Why does everyone contribute money and effort, why should he rest? Isn't there still a matter of looking for clothes and bedding?"

Zhang Lin: "Xiaxi kept vigil last night and didn't sleep all night. If you think it's unfair, then you go to vigil tonight, and you can rest tomorrow."

Cao Jincai didn't want to keep watch at night. Whoever doesn't want to sleep at night would like to blow the cold wind outside alone.Hearing this, he had no choice but to give up.

Xia Xi smiled gratefully at Zhang Lin, and took the initiative to say to Zhang Lin: "If you don't worry about finding clothes and bedding, I will..."

"You don't know the place around here, so it's dangerous to go out." Zhang Lin waved her hand: "There is a supermarket near here, and the owner is a regular customer of mine. I'll ask him later if he can sell us some clothes and bedding for emergency."

Xia Xi: "Then I'll be with you. It's not easy to move so many bedding and clothes by one person, and it's not safe."

"Let's talk about it later, I'll ask about the situation first." Zhang Lin compromised helplessly.She looked into Xia Xi's eyes, full of words, you are so kind, what can I say about you?

Xia Xi turned and walked towards the lounge.He didn't tell Zhang Lin that the reason why he insisted on going out was that the crystal nucleus was almost consumed last night.He had to find the crystal nucleus to absorb again.Instead of waiting in the room for the prey to come, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Xia Xi slept until the afternoon, and when she woke up, she could smell the smell of biscuits all over the room.The generator boomed and boomed.

Holding a box of packaged biscuits, Zhang Lin told Xia Xi that the boss of the supermarket agreed that they would go to get clothes and bedding, but they would not charge any money, and would exchange several boxes of biscuits.There are indeed a lot of things, and a few more people are needed to move them.

"In this way, leave two people to look after the house, and everyone else will go." Zhang Lin took out the store key and handed it to Zhang Yunhan: "The boss only knows me, so I have to go this time, Yunhan, stay and look after the store for me."

Zhang Yunhan took the key silently.

Zhang Lin looked at Xia Xi again: "There is one left, you..."

"I'll go with you." Xia Xi said, "I've already rested, and it's time for me to change my clothes. I can try the clothes if I go there."

When Yu Qianqian heard about the clothes fitting, her eyes lit up immediately, and she actively signed up, "Then I'll go too."

Zhang Lin nodded: "Okay, there is only one person left, who will stay, Cao Jin, you or Xiaoxue?"

"Let Xiaoxue stay." Cao Jin said, "Men are always strong in moving things. If there is any danger on the road, they can also protect you."

Xia Xi looked at Cao Jin with some surprise. He had been reluctant to work before, so why is he so active in getting supplies now?Looking at his eyes that have been glued to Qianqian's body, he seems to understand again.

Zhang Lin divided the biscuit boxes: "Let's go, the supermarket is over there, just past the corner of the street, and it's only 500 meters away from here. Just follow me later."

"Bring some weapons for self-defense," Xia Xi suggested.

Although this trip was not far away, the power fluctuations outside became more and more intense and chaotic, and Xia Xi could no longer accurately distinguish the location and quantity of the power fluctuations.It is conceivable that this trip is more dangerous than imagined.

"It's only a few steps, and we'll be there in three minutes. Do we need self-defense?" Cao Jin questioned, "Besides, this is a dessert shop. What weapons can we bring?"

"It's just a suggestion, you don't have to bring it." Xia Xi said, and took out a bottle of insecticide from the cabinet next to the toilet.

"Are you using insecticides for self-defense?" Cao Jin sneered: "Defense against what, are there ants biting you on the road?"

"That's right. What's the matter?" Xia Xi asked back in a too righteous tone, making it seem that Cao Jin was the one with the abnormal head.

Zhang Lin thought about it, and prepared to go to the kitchen to get the watermelon knife from yesterday.

"Sister, bring this." Zhang Yunhan took out a portable spray gun for barbecue from the kitchen and stuffed it into Zhang Lin's hand.

Zhang Lin weighed it for a moment, put down the watermelon knife that looked fierce, and chose a spray gun that was more suitable for her.

"I have anti-wolf spray!" Yu Qianqian put the biscuit box on the ground and ran to the lounge. After a while, she ran out with a pink spray bottle hanging on her chest.

The three had already found their equipment, Cao Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the watermelon knife left by Zhang Lin.

The rolling shutter door was opened, and the weather today was a bit gloomy, as if it was going to rain.Zhang Lin walked in the front, Xia Xi, Cao Jin, and Yu Qianqian followed in turn.

The road looked very quiet, they turned the corner carefully, Zhang Lin pointed to a second-floor supermarket not far away: "It's right there, we..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, her eyes were fixed on the entrance of a residential building in the corner, her face gradually lost all color: "Yuan, Uncle Yuan?"

Just in front of her, less than five meters away, an old man was crouching twistedly next to an open manhole cover. He was still wearing the clothes he wore to the bakery yesterday, but they were already in tatters.

His body was covered with flesh-red wounds the size of fingernails, as if he had been bitten by some insects. His mouth was wide open, and his hands were stretched out in the direction of the residential building, as if he was shouting for something.

The white cake box fell to the side, the beautiful bows were scattered, the ribbons were stained with mud, and the peony flowers on the cake inside had fallen out of shape.
