Chapter 655 Ruins

In the nearby town, there were no National Guardsmen, but a pile of ruins. The houses here were almost destroyed. In the face of the huge tornado, all the buildings were papered, especially in the In this small town, there are many houses with wooden structures, especially so.

A huge tornado with a diameter of hundreds of meters passed through, and the place was already in a mess, but no one was seen, including the people of the National Guard, and the townspeople who suffered from the disaster. The only bar was half-rolled. Some wine bottles were broken, and some wine bottles were still scattered on the ground.

Zhen Fan walked in through the pile of rubble, and took out two bottles of wine on the dilapidated counter, the one that survived was not broken, then shook his head in front of Tia and said with a smile: "I love the bar to death, it always You can give me some surprises! Thank you, the owner of this bar, for you!" As he said, he handed over a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Brandy, it's better than nothing!" Seeing that Tiya didn't mean to pick it up, Zhen Fan shook the bottle again, "We still need to find something to eat here, because we might spend the night here, and ...I still have to find a place with a phone, but now I'm looking for food!"

Hearing what Zhen Fan said, Tia took the bottle with a calm face: "I have never tried drinking under such circumstances. I don't drink at all, and I have been like this for many years!"

"Many years? Do you want to tell me a story?" Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing, and then found some bread and butter from the ruins. Fortunately, they were placed in the oven, which was messy and deformed. It is as easy as tearing off a chicken leg when you open the door of the oven.

"Here... this is our dinner!" Zhen Fan said, continuing to search for something in the ruins.

"It's enough, tomorrow morning or tonight... maybe we will be saved!" Tia tried to persuade Zhen Fan, she hoped that someone would come to rescue them from here as soon as possible.

"No, no, we need to prepare more food. Look here..." Zhen Fan looked at an open space not far away, and pointed to a piece of paper that looked like a label that had fallen on the ground, "This is the label of a US military ration can , which means that they have already searched this area, and no one will come to rescue here. So... tomorrow we have to hurry, walk from here to the road, if we are lucky, we may meet some kind people to give us a ride Procedure."

"Okay, I'll help!" Tia looked at the label, and finally confirmed that what Zhen Fan said was true. She was also stepping on messy bricks, looking for food that could serve as their ration for tomorrow on the ruins. Fortunately, she also found some bread and jam, while Zhen Fan found three bottles of rum in good condition, and several cans of beer.

I don't know where to find a cloth bag, Zhen Fan put all these things into the bag, and then searched around in some residential areas. Tia was also searching, she was looking for a place where the two could spend a night together,

The basement is fine too.

While the two were searching, suddenly a voice came from not far behind them, and then a voice shouted at them, it was a man.

"Hey guys, what are you doing?"

As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw a man in his forties looking at them with a shotgun, frowned and said loudly: "Are you taking advantage of the fire? Listen to me, put down your bags, Then get out of here quickly."

This man is very strong, with a big belly, wearing a hat, a gray jacket, and jeans that look a little dirty, but he does have a double-barreled shotgun in his hand, and his face is not very good-looking.

"Put down the bag and get out of this place quickly, don't let me see you again!" The man yelled at Zhen Fan and Tiya again, "You bloody thieves, don't try to take advantage of the fire!"

"I'm sorry...we're not thieves!" Tia was furious but helpless, but she still couldn't help but argue, "We were blown here by a tornado, and... I'm a scientist who specializes in tornadoes, he ...is from the small town of Lecce..."

"What's in your bag?" The man seemed to believe it, he knew the town of Lecce, "Also... since you say you are a scientist, you have to show something to prove it?"

When Tia heard this, she subconsciously touched her pocket, and she still took out a card. It was a certificate she had applied for at the local weather bureau. With this, she could contact local officials and get some help. . So Tia stayed on her body all the time, and this time she was prepared to be blown away by the wind.

"This... is some food!" Zhen Fan had many ways to make the guy with the gun unlucky, but he didn't do it. It's just ordinary people, there's no need to deal with him. Of course, if he dared to shoot, it would be another matter.

Zhen Fan opened the cloth bag, revealing some wine, bread, butter and jam inside. And Tia carefully threw her card over. The person stepped forward, picked it up from the ground, and saw that it was indeed a certificate from the local weather bureau. One shook his head.

"You guys are definitely going to spend the night here today. If you miss this place, you will have to camp in the wild. I am in the basement here, and I can accommodate several people! Do you want to come together?" The man looked at Zhen Fan and Tiya Said.

"Great, thank you!" Tia was overjoyed. She was still frustrated about sleeping in the wild just now, but she met a good man unexpectedly, so she walked over and said to the man, "You are the only one left here. Alone? Is the National Guard over here? We can't find help!"

"Yes, they came very quickly. Except for me, everyone followed them. Maybe the government has rescued them or something. I didn't go. I plan to start rebuilding my house tomorrow. With wood, there are good ones here. wood, no problem building a house at all. I don’t want to go anywhere else!”

The man turned around and led the way, walking and talking, Zhen Fan also tied the cloth bag again, followed behind the two of them, walked more than ten meters, and found the entrance to the basement outside the ruins of a wooden house, and then three People filed in and entered the basement. There was no electricity, so the person lit an oil lamp and hung it on the top of the center of the basement.

The basement is not spacious, but it is not low. People standing in it are no different from ordinary houses. There are not many three people, so it doesn't seem crowded. There was only one bed in the basement, but Tia was relieved to see the rolls hanging on the wall.

"I have prepared a lot of things just to prepare for the tornado. This tornado is the biggest I have ever seen. I really hope that this damn weather is just a coincidence." After the man came in, he sat on the edge of the table. Zhen Fan also put the cloth bag on the ground and took out bread and wine from it.

"What would you like? Beer? Brandy? Or rum?"

"Give me a bottle of rum!" the man said, then turned around and put the shotgun away, took out a large piece of beef from a cabinet, and said to Zhen Fan, "I marinated it, if you know how to roast it , our dinner will be richer, I am not good at barbecue, I like to fry it in a pan!"

"No problem!" Zhen Fan took it, and the man handed over a knife, and Zhen Fan cut the beef without a fork, put it on an iron shelf, and then prepared to light a fire in the basement. And that person went to open the door of the entrance to the basement to let the outside air in.

The beef on the iron plate made a sizzling sound, and the aroma was overflowing. After the fire started, Tia also felt the warmth of her body. She picked up a piece of roasted beef with a knife, cut a small piece and put it in her mouth. It was a little hot quickly, but it was more of a delicious taste. Although it was only marinated with salt, the roasted taste was no worse than that in the restaurant.

"How did you do it?" When Tia wanted to ask this sentence, she was preempted by that person. He also tasted the delicious beef and couldn't help asking Zhen Fan, "Is it true that every Chinese Are they all born chefs?"

"I'm a doctor!" Zhen Fan said here, stretched out his hand towards the man, and said with a smile, "Fan? Zhen!"

The man wiped his hand that was a little greasy from grabbing the beef, then held it with Zhen Fan, and said with a smile, "Charlie? Pullman... er, your girlfriend? Just call me Charlie!" One sentence was addressed to Tina, and he was smiling at Tina.

"Tia? Carradine!" Tia reached out and shook Pullman, then retracted, gnawed at her beef, and then took another bite of bread and said, "I'm not his girlfriend, just People who happen to meet together, you know... under such chaotic weather, anyone may meet!"

When Zhen Fan heard this, he couldn't help laughing. It was also the first time he heard this woman's name. It turned out to be Tia Carradine, which sounded a bit like Mia's name.

"Let's have a drink!" Zhen Fan picked up the brandy bottle and Pullman, who was holding the rum bottle, laughed, "This is the first time I've spent the night in such a situation. Under the wonderful arrangement, they actually get together, drink and eat barbecue, for this!" The two touched the bottle while talking.

"And me!" Tia grabbed a beer bottle from the side and tried to open it with her teeth, but failed. Zhen Fan took it, broke it open with her fingers, and handed it over.

The bottles of the three of them touched again and each took a big gulp. Charlie said, "I'm sorry, I always thought you were lovers. This is my problem. What are you going to do? Are you going to walk back tomorrow? It's a short distance from Lecce." The town is still relatively far away, and... I don't think there will be any vehicles passing by along the way, after all... the current section of the road has been completely destroyed!"

"Do you have a phone?" Tia asked.

"Of course, it's a mobile phone, but... don't even think about it, it's out of battery!" Charlie took out the phone from his body, lifted it up and shook his head, and said with a smile, "There is no power in this area now, so... you guys I have to walk back, but it’s only half a day’s journey.” RS
