Wilderness Age

Dinner was a big pot of rice, Yu Ze and the others didn't intend to take advantage of the food here, but Tao Zheng eagerly pulled them together, saying that Brother Lin would come over soon, and we'd get to know each other when the time came.

When supplies are scarce, rice noodles are one of the most important food resources because they have been eaten and released, and as the staple food of the Chinese population, almost every household can find a few bags of stored grain, ranging from a few catties to tens of hundreds of catties.The tens of thousands of permanent residents in Lianhuazhou, together with the materials in the enterprises and factories, were all looted and gathered together. After a month or two, although the food is not good, at least they will not starve to death.

Of course, when they were led by Tao Zheng to receive food in the factory cafeteria, they still received a few stares of undisguised hostility.After all, it is a precarious day. If others eat more, you will eat less.

Xiao Nineteen followed Wu Wei and lined up to get his share like everyone else. He sat down by the window in the factory cafeteria, sipping porridge with his hands in his hands.The rice soup is thin and milky white, boiled in a large pot, and Xiao Jiu couldn't help but miss the bowl of white rice exuding the fragrance of rice that he ate at home.

I used to be a picky eater, but now I have nothing to eat.

Little Nineteen sighed maturely, didn't say anything, took a steamed bun obediently and gnawed it up, while looking out the window.

The window panes were yellow and dirty, the air outside was also gray, the clouds were thick and covered the sky in large swaths, and the distant horizon was dyed blood red.Today's sunset is unusually large, hanging below the thick clouds, slowly sinking towards the horizon.

Xiao Nineteen bit the steamed bun and widened his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled.

He rubbed his eyes, and looked again, the setting sun suspended above the skyline was no longer a complete red sun, its lower right corner was incomplete, the color was like dripping blood.

He took two mouthfuls of steamed buns, his mouth was dry, and he elbowed Wu Wei's arm next to him.

"Brother Wu Wei, look, is it a solar eclipse?"

More and more people noticed the abnormality of the setting sun, the cafeteria was noisy, and the atmosphere of inexplicable tension and fear began to flow. Many people have become frightened birds, and any change in the outside world can stir up tense nerves.

"Xiaozhou, what do you think?" Wu Wei asked, frowning.

Yu Ze and Chu Xingzhou looked at each other, knowing that this was a harbinger of the coming severe winter.

"Steady and don't panic." Chu Xingzhou patted Wu Wei on the shoulder, "It's hard to say what changes, just adapt to the situation."

Wu Wei sighed and muttered, "What a horrible day."

At this time, two men walked in from outside the cafeteria gate, the first one was short, with a slightly fat stomach.

"Brother Lin is here." Tao Zheng got up and greeted him.

At this time, the cafeteria was in chaos and noisy, Brother Lin raised his hand, suppressed the chaotic noise, and said: "I have seen the visions outside, don't worry, live as you want, left and right It's just that the soldiers came to block the water and cover it with soil. We still have enough food, so we don't panic."

After calming down and waiting for the atmosphere to stabilize, the man walked to the place where Yu Ze and the others were seated, nodded politely to everyone, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Guan Xuelin, and I am the person in charge here."

"Haha, so your surname is Guan, not Lin." Suo Tianyou, who couldn't bear the loneliness, answered first.

Facing Suo Tianyou's foolish attitude, Guan Xuelin still smiled, and his angry words were always official: "Exactly, since you guys are here, why don't we sit down and have a chat and get to know each other?"

"Well, you can sit down." Suo Tianyou nunu raised his chin to indicate the empty seat.

"This brother is not polite, he has turned against the customer."

"Yes, I am more casual."

Guan Xuelin smiled easy-goingly, and Suo Tianyou answered directly.

Tao Zheng cleverly interjected to introduce the names of several people to Guan Xuelin.

Next, Guan Xuelin was not too polite, and straight-forwardly stated his purpose: "It is fate to meet each other in this world, so I won't be devious. I asked Xiao Tao to stop you. One of them was indeed just to remind you. There are risks in crossing the river, and secondly, I want to take this opportunity to ask you, how did you come to Lianhuazhou?"

Suo Tianyou: "Oh, you ask that, do you want to take someone out along the way we came?"

Guan Xuelin turned around and admitted frankly: "Yes, Lianhuazhou is too small after all. If you stay here for a long time, the difficulties will exist objectively, and you have to think about changing."

Chu Xingzhou: "Then you just take people there. To tell you the truth, we came here directly, and we didn't encounter any special danger."

Guan Xuelin's eyes changed, and he looked at Chu Xingzhou suspiciously.

Chu Xingzhou then added: "However, after passing the willow forest, be careful in the direction of Ningcheng. When we escaped, the place was already occupied by insect swarms."

"Insect infestation?" Guan Xuelin was thoughtful, "If the willow forest is safe and sound now...could this change be related to the infestation infestation?"

Chu Xingzhou opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Then we don't know."

"Can you tell me more about the bug swarm?"

Talking about the bug swarm brought back bad memories: "There's nothing to say about it, it's just overwhelming bugs, and you can't beat them all." Even if Suo Tianyou was not afraid, he would still be disgusted by the sticky bugs after they exploded. , Looking back, it makes people unable to eat, "Are you really listening? Then I will explain it to you in detail."

Suo Tianyou pulled Guan Xuelin to tell him about his great achievements in the battle against the bug swarm. Guan Xuelin also praised him very much. Luckily, the rest of the people also finished their meal, so they wouldn't feel nauseated.

Yu Ze looked out of the window, the setting sun had sunk below the horizon, hidden behind layers of clouds.

Tao Zheng poked him on the arm: "Have you guys really experienced such... that kind of fight that sounds like a blockbuster movie?"

The two happened to be next to each other, and Tao Zheng felt that Yu Ze looked more like his peers, so he was more willing to talk to him.

Yu Ze's thoughts were interrupted, he turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "I have experienced it."

"Oh, isn't he bragging?"

Yu Ze followed his line of sight to look at Suo Tianyou, who was spitting all over the place, and was amused for a moment, Suo Tianyou really looked like a person who talked nonsense.

So he kindly added: "Ningcheng has been destroyed, and you may not be able to find a shelter soon after you go out, and you may have to wander for a long time." In the end, I don't know how many people will survive.

The smile on Tao Zheng's face turned into a wry smile in an instant: "If the whole world is like this, where can we find peace?"

Suo Tianyou babbled a lot to Guan Xuelin, and finally ended with the sentence "It's a pity that there is no wine".

Guan Xuelin received a lot of information. Seeing that it was getting dark, he asked someone to arrange accommodation.

The place to sleep at night is the factory's original staff dormitory, each room has two bunk beds and four beds, Suo Tianyou and the two girls share one room, and Yu Ze and four other people just share one room.

As a rule, it is necessary to keep people on vigil so that no one falls asleep and dies.

Yu Ze really hopes that his space can produce something like a night watch siren, so as to save everyone from the pain of night watch, but at this stage, there are too few materials, and there is really no way to change it, so they can only provide support in daily supplies .

It was getting colder and colder in the second half of the night, Xiao Nineteen curled up in his sleep.

Yu Ze took out the prepared quilt from the space and covered him and Wu Wei with this movement, but Wu Wei, who was still alert in his sleep, opened his eyes immediately, and the gleam in his eyes faded after seeing an acquaintance .

"Have you changed shift?" He sat up and rubbed his goosebumped arms, "Why is it still a little cold?"

It is indeed cooling down.

When the sun notch appears, the weather can quickly cool down and slide towards winter.

Chu Xingzhou lazily replied to him in the dim light: "It's not time yet, you can sleep a little longer. The climate has indeed changed, and I feel that the temperature has dropped by about ten degrees. Get ready, winter is coming gone."
