Survival [End Times]

Yu Heng went to knock on the door, and Cui Nan let him in and brought him a drink.

"Dub left your house?"

"Yes." Yu Heng put the drink on the table, looked around, and looked specifically at the kitchen: "Brother Cui, do you still have enough food?"

"Enough! I used to work at home and didn't like ordering takeout. I have a lot of things stored at home." Cui Nan opened the drink and gave it to him: "Drink!"

"I'm going out in two days, will Brother Cui go?"

Cui Nan gave him a fan and shook his head: "No, let's go all the way there. Is it rare that the residents over there don't know how to move their things first? I'm afraid there won't be anything there, and the road will be dangerous."

Yu Heng fanned himself with a fan and saw that there was not a drop of sweat on Cui Nan's face: "Aren't you afraid of the heat?"

"Afraid! I feel very hot, but even if I don't sweat, my hands are cold." At first, I thought I was sick, but there was nothing wrong with my body.

Yu Heng thought that he should be like his father, suffering from the sequelae of assimilation.

"In addition to feeling cold, are there any other changes?"

Cui Nan smiled: "No."

Yu Heng stood up: "My parents are learning to grow vegetables these two days. If you want to try it, I will get you some vegetable seeds later."

"Okay, thank you."

When Yu Heng left, Cui Nan put away her smile, sat alone for a while and then went to the kitchen to cook. There was a lot of porridge in the pot that had been cooked specially in the morning, and it was now cold. He didn't heat it up, just put some side dishes on it and started eating.

The cool porridge slides down the throat and is very comfortable.

He drank the porridge with some indifference. In fact, he doesn't like to eat hot food now. Even if he cooks rice, he has to let it cool before he is willing to eat it.

Moreover, his eyesight was getting worse and worse. When he got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, he accidentally caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, and his eyes were glowing.

There seemed to be an extra layer of film on the eyeballs, and that film was glowing under the reflection of the flashlight.

Of course, if it was just that, it wouldn't make him feel heavy. After returning from that day's outing, his tongue changed more obviously, becoming more and more like Snake Nobuko. The tip is long and bifurcated. After careful study, the structure of the mouth has also changed.

It seemed as if ever since he woke up from his slumber, the terrible mutation in his body had begun.

He thought it was possible that the snake had bitten him and left him with side effects. But being alive is better than anything else.

After eating, he packed up the trash and went downstairs to take it out.

There are no garbage trucks to transport garbage. The garbage in this area is accumulating and the smell is very bad. Mosquitoes and flies were flying around. Cui Nan walked quickly back to the community, uncontrollably sticking out his tongue to scan the air a few times.

! !

He covered his mouth in fright, looked around, and was relieved when he saw no one.

He lowered his head and followed the information found on his tongue, and saw a huge cauliflower snake gliding through the grass on the left.

If it was before, he would have run as far as he could, but now he didn't feel afraid, but instead felt a little: uh, something like contempt.

So he walked over and blocked the path of the cauliflower snake. The snake stopped sliding and slowly rolled its body into a ball. Then Cui Nan picked it up, flattened it, tied a knot, and went home.

In front of the corridor, I met someone from another building approaching, and I hurriedly knocked him away.

"Don't you look at the road!!! Snake!!"

The man retreated with a clang and fell to the ground.

Cui Nan ignored him and went straight upstairs.

Because of this unexpected gain, the Yu family received a fat cauliflower snake from Cui Nan before dinner.

Father Yu exclaimed: "It's rare to see such a fat cauliflower snake. You can eat it yourself and don't need to bring it to my house!"

"I don't know how to cook, so I have to trouble Uncle Yu."

"I'll cook it and send it to you. I happen to have some medicinal materials at home. It would be most nourishing if you stew them."

Cui Nan had no choice but to say, "Then I'll have a meal at Uncle Yu's house tonight."

At this point, Yu's father stopped refusing and asked Yu's mother to go and clean up the snake together.

Mother Yu waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't dare! You go ahead and get it. I'll find the medicinal materials. Which ones do you want?"

"Ginseng, astragalus...are there any dried yam?"

"I have them all. Bao'er went to the drugstore and bought a lot of them before."

Here, Father Yu killed the snake, opened the faucet and found that there was no water.

"The running water has stopped! Get a bucket of water!"

"The water has finally stopped, alas." Although the tap water has changed a bit, it can still be used to wash things and take a bath after boiling it.

Cui Nan talked about the use of water in the future: "It seems that we will have to go to Qijiang to fetch water in the future."

There is a river in Mingwei City called Qijiang, which originates from the Siling Mountains and flows southeastward, passing through several cities and counties, including the city where their community is located.

It's not far from their community. It can usually be reached by car in half an hour. The green belt along the river is very beautiful. Many people usually go there for walks and take their children for dates.

"But the water is quite dirty." Cui Nan frowned.

Yu Heng is not worried. He can buy some [Universal Purifier], which can purify several tons of water.

"Is the water at Brother Cui's house still enough?"

"It won't be enough in another week." If you don't take a shower.

"In two days, let's go to Yanjiang Road to have a look and bring back some water." The pure water at home is for drinking, washing and cleaning, and we can't waste such clean water.

"Okay."

The two chatted leisurely, and soon dinner was ready.

The cauliflower snake was cleaned up by Yu's father, chopped into three-centimeter-long pieces, and stewed until soft with ginseng, astragalus, and yam. It was also sprinkled with finely chopped green onions that had just grown at home. The aroma of medicine and meat was fragrant and it looked very good.

"This is my first time making it, and I don't know if it's right... Can you try it?"

Everyone tasted it. Yu's mother took the bowl with only clear soup, closed her eyes and drank two sips, and praised it: "It's very fresh! Delicious!"

Cui Nan drank it slowly. Although the soup was warm and didn't quite suit his recent taste, the dining atmosphere at Yu's house was very good, and Yu's parents were also close to him. The comfort in his heart made him feel more happy than the desire for food.

The dinner was a great success. When Cui Nan said goodbye, Yu's mother stuffed a bag into his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not expensive. Take it!"

When Cui Nan got home, he realized that these were clothes and pants made of the rattan core of the insect-proof rattan. He was deeply moved. Even though his body was no longer bitten by mosquitoes and even the snakes he encountered dared not touch him, he still put on this set of clothes.

In the days that followed, every ten days or half a month, Cui Nan would catch a non-venomous snake and go to Yu's house for dinner, which made the two families look very happy.

Speaking of the present, on the third day after eating the snake stew, Yu Heng and Cui Nan went out to Qijiang together. As soon as they left the community, Yu Heng found someone following them.

He ignored it. This time, he and Cui Nan both brought empty buckets for water at home. Yu Heng brought five and Cui Nan also brought five.

The five buckets were strung together with rattan core and tied around the waist to fix them, so that they would not be a problem when walking. Yu Heng also brought two of the largest storage bags in his home, planning to put the bucket into the bags and carry it when he got water.

On the way, Yu Heng found two good hemostatic and anti-inflammatory grasses, one of which looked like a large group of small hydrangeas. Each ball had its own root system, and finally gathered into a bunch of symbiotic roots,

which penetrated deep into the soil.

However, it was very convenient to plant. Just pull out a ball and insert it into the soil to grow a new whole plant.

He dug a plant and put it in his backpack, planning to go home and plant it.

"What's the use of this?"

Yu Heng said casually: "It looks good, I'll go home and plant it for my dad to play with."

Before reaching Qijiang, only halfway through the journey, Yu Heng found that the road underground became very wet, and stepping on it would leave a wet footprint. After walking a few steps, he lowered his head and saw densely packed things crawling up his plastic jumpsuit.

The thing was slippery, and when it climbed up, it slid on the plastic surface, making a sucking sound.

He hurriedly stepped back and sprinkled yellow rattan powder, and soon those things quickly crawled down the same way, leaving only wet water marks on his trouser legs.

"So disgusting, is this place flooded?" Cui Nan also stepped back.

Yu Heng looked at the low aquatic plants in front of him and estimated that the water level in front would be deeper.

"Walk a little further, if it doesn't work, we have to go back."

The worst plan is that this river "disappears".

After that, they continued to move forward until the mud buried their knees, and then gave up moving forward. On the way back, they met a group of people who seemed to be moving.

Basins, plastic buckets, and wooden boards... They moved from the front with difficulty.

"Hey, can you help the guy in front?"

Yu Heng wanted to ask for some information, so he went forward to help the man drag the plastic bucket full of things over, and walked about fifty meters before leaving the wetland.

"Have you moved all the stuff you want to move? I'm so envious! I have to go back a few times!"

"We don't live here. We came here to get water from Qijiang River."

The old man shouted to his family to leave quickly, and turned to Yu Heng and said, "Then you can't get water! The river seemed to be filled with something overnight, and the water rushed out. Look! The water has flooded here! There are a lot of messy things and a lot of bugs. The water pipes and sewers are all blocked! We live so far away and have to move. You want to get water pressure, but you can't!"

The old man waved his hand: "I'm leaving, and you don't have to go forward. The things growing in front are even more terrible. If they bite people, they will have a high fever!"

"Thank you, old man." Yu Heng thanked the old man, and then discussed with Cui Nan: "Then let's go back?"

The two walked back, and they didn't know when the people following them disappeared. They didn't come up, so Yu Heng pretended not to know.

"Over there, is that a bottled water supply and sales point?" Cui Nan asked, pointing in a direction.

Yu Heng looked over and saw a few words on the sign through the dense bushes: "It seems so."

The two walked over to see. Yu Heng carefully climbed up the thick and tangled tree roots that came out of the ground, and stood on it to see the sign opposite. It was indeed a bottled water supply and sales point, and several barrels of water could be seen rolling down the door.

The store was not closed, and it could be seen that it was densely packed with bottled water.

There are many residential areas nearby, but there are still so many bottled water left and no one has taken them away - Yu Heng looked at the dense flowers at the door. It was a carnivorous plant, more than one meter high, with a flower disk like a sun wheel, and obvious sawtooth in the middle. It has no leaves, but also has vines as thick as arms.

Those vines are swinging all the time, and they will tie up a leprosy and throw it into their mouths.

Even from such a distance, Yu Heng seemed to be able to hear the crunching sound of □□ being chewed.
