Chapter 971 Human Heart, Human Nature
Deep in the mountains and dense forests, heavy rain.
Silver snakes danced wildly, and in the sound of howling wind and rain, this small house on the top of the mountain stood here abruptly.
Inside the small house.
Ansheng and Zhuojun moved the iron wolf dustpan and some trees outside in. The rain outside was too heavy, and the trees and iron wolf dustpan were soaked.
Tuizi also cleaned the black pork. The white hair on the surface was washed away with water, but he scraped the blackened layer with a knife for several minutes before he could barely scrape it off.
Zhuojun and Ansheng squatted by the brazier and warmed themselves with a shiver. They were soaked. In October, the temperature dropped quickly. In addition, it was a rainy day and they were on the mountain, so it was even colder.
Chen Delong sat on the bed for a while and felt much more comfortable. He took out all the items in the luggage and hung them up to bake.
"Brother Chen, isn't this bag waterproof? How come the quality is so poor, it's not waterproof at all, our blankets are soaked." An Sheng rubbed his hands and said shiveringly.
Chen Delong glanced at him and said, "It's raining too hard, and we opened the bag. Stop talking nonsense, take off your clothes quickly, hang them up with branches, there is a fire now, dry them as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep later."
An Sheng nodded, and then he and Zhuo Jun took off their clothes until they were left with only a pair of shorts.
Although they were not wearing clothes, it was better than wearing wet clothes.
Plus there was a fire next to him, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
At this time, Tui Zi came in with black pork, with an excited expression, and said to everyone, "Finally, it's cleaned up, come on. I'll cook porridge."
But he found that the three of them had taken off all their clothes, and he felt that the clothes he was wearing were a bit cold, so he simply stripped off the rest of his body and hung them next to the fire.
Even the socks were taken outside and washed in the rain, then hung on the nails on the wall by the door.
Soon.
They took out four dried sweet potato strips, cut them a few times with a dagger, grabbed a handful of rice from a sack, carried a steel pot outside to fill it with some rainwater, and hurried in, placing the steel pot above the fire.
In the firelight, everyone did not stop, many of their things were soaked, and they had to dry them as soon as possible.
They happened to find a bag of rusty nails under the bed, so they hung all the soaked things on the four walls to dry their clothes with the heat of the flames.
Zhuo Jun was holding the axe, squatting on the ground, chopping the wet wood that had just been collected outside, and it seemed that he was going to make two beds.
On this rainy day, if they slept directly on the ground, they would definitely catch a cold after a night.
They didn't dare to catch a cold or get sick at this time.
Zhuo Jun's technique was very skillful, and it seemed that he had done a lot of it before.
While cooking porridge, Tuizi picked up another iron basin and filled it in less than 20 seconds.
He placed the iron basin next to the fire, then rummaged through the clothes hanging on the wall and grabbed a handful of green leaves.
"Tuizi, what is this?" An Sheng looked at him with some confusion and asked.
Tuizi smiled and said, "This is what I saw on the road, wild mountain tea, which is a good thing. It can supplement us with vitamins and some trace elements. It is very fragrant when brewed into tea."
An Sheng looked at the handful of tea leaves in his hand, nodded without saying anything, and just lowered his head to pack his bag.
After taking out the tea leaves, Tuizi took them outside and rinsed them in the rain twice, then threw them into the iron basin.
"Tuizi, where is the piece of meat you just took out? Did you forget to put it in the porridge?" Chen Delong stirred the steel pot with a dagger and said to Tuizi.
Tuizi slapped his head, looked around, and found the piece of meat he had washed on a wet piece of wood. He had just washed it and put it down to take off his clothes, and he forgot about it.
"I'll cut it and add it in now." Tuizi quickly picked up the black pork, then found a wooden stake left by Zhuo Jun, swept away the sawdust on the surface, and took out a dagger to cut the pork.
The black pork, which had been smoked for eight or nine years, was a bit hard, so Tuizi used a dagger to cut it fiercely, one piece after another.
The black pork was cut very thinly by him, the meat was condensed together, the color was shiny, and it looked very appetizing.
Tuizi looked at Ansheng and said, "It looks good, right? I didn't lie to you?"
Ansheng smelled the faint meat fragrance, swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Tuizi is awesome."
God knows how long he hasn't eaten pork, there is no oil in his stomach, looking at the oily luster on the surface of the black pork, he kept swallowing his saliva.
Soon, Tuizi cut the meat and threw it into the steel pot.
Having just cut the wild boar meat, some fat stained his hands. Tuizi put his fingers into his mouth and sucked them, then smacked his lips and stared at the steel pot.
Not only him, but the three people around him were starving.
"Brother Chen, the porridge should be ready." Tuizi looked at the steel pot and asked.
Chen Delong opened the steel pot, and the porridge inside was boiling.
Seeing that the other three people were a little too hungry, he said, "It should be ready."
Then he used a branch to clamp the steel pot and put it on the ground, and then scooped a spoonful for each person, each spoonful was full and distributed evenly.
After the distribution was completed, the legs quickly picked it up, not caring about the boiling water, and drank the hot porridge in big gulps.
The porridge was boiling hot, and his tongue was burned when he took a mouthful, but he didn't care.
The porridge was a little oily due to the addition of black pork. After drinking a mouthful, Ansheng had the urge to cry bitterly, it was so damn delicious.
Rice, sweet potatoes and black pork were added to the porridge, which tasted very comfortable.
But no one spoke, and they were all concentrating on drinking porridge.
In less than two minutes, the whole pot of porridge was divided up by them.
The remaining steel pot was stained with some rice porridge.
But Brother Chen always pays attention to fairness in doing things.
Even if it is a grain of rice, as long as he has it, he will share it equally with his brothers.
Brother Chen simply poured the boiled wild mountain tea into it and divided it again.
That spoonful of porridge was not enough for them to eat, so they could only fill their stomachs with tea.
A bowl of porridge and a bowl of hot tea went down.
The stomach finally felt a little bit, and the whole body exuded a warm and comfortable feeling.
After drinking the porridge, fatigue surged like a tide. He leaned his legs directly on the pile of wood behind him, half-closed his eyes, and panted slowly.
Brother Chen got up and closed the door, then added some pine oil to the fire to make the flame bigger, hoping to provide more warmth.
On such a stormy night, the four of them escaped from the zombies and were able to find such a shelter, which was a blessing in disguise.
Camphor tree base.
The continuous heavy rain was nothing new to them.
It was just that in the heavy rain, they had built a bunker that had not yet been completed. Although they had taken some measures, rain still poured into it.
Li Yu didn't care too much after hearing the news. The construction of the bunker was not a short-term thing. They would continue after this natural disaster was over.
It didn't matter if it was flooded now, after all, it hadn't been built yet.
If it was flooded after it was built, it would be a big trouble.
After the zombie generator was repaired and upgraded, Li Yu didn't have much to deal with these days.
Either he went to patrol the wall or rested in the inner city.
In this kind of weather, there is plenty of time to rest and it is peaceful.
However, as the zombies stayed in the rain for a long time, their sensitivity also increased a lot, so they had to open the second layer of switches.
The combination of the zombie generator and the mobile switch in the base provides strong protection for the big camphor tree base.
Both are indispensable, one provides electricity, and the other converts electricity into mechanical energy, using sharp switches to continuously chop zombies to death.
The first outer city.
Guo Peng said to Zhu Xiao with some worry: "Old Zhu, why don't you think Mr. Li let us tell those people?"
"I have eyes, so I can see such an obvious place. And this matter cannot be said openly, otherwise what will the old partners think.
We don't owe them anything. As for how they distribute it, it is their own business.
Perhaps, Mr. Li did this for some deep meaning."
"What do you mean?" Guo Peng asked with curiosity in his eyes.
Zhu Xiao thought about it, pretended to be profound, and slowly said: "I can't think of it."
"Nima." Guo Peng was speechless and didn't continue talking.
Time is like water.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
During these ten days, the five surrounding satellite cities sent several requests for help, but they could only help the three nearby satellite cities.
Using heavy artillery to bomb some zombies outside their walls reduced the pressure of their resistance.
As for the fourth and fifth satellite cities, they were too far away and out of reach.
In these satellite cities, everyone has different considerations for their choices, but the key is that the protests that broke out before were mainly those new partners near the fifth satellite city.
So, sometimes fate is so wonderful.
The fifth satellite city.
The wall has been captured.
The whole building seemed like a cake, rolling into the white sugar, and was covered with white sugar.
White sugar is zombies.
The zombies surrounded the whole building and continued to hit the doors and windows. Some zombies even piled up on the roof and walked down the steps on the roof, but were blocked by the items piled on the steps.
If the zombies had wisdom and moved away, the people inside would have been finished long ago.
But the zombies have no wisdom, they will only keep roaring and then rush down. There is no big problem with the steps above.
During this period, the windows were almost knocked open, but they tried their best to block them, and they were not broken.
However, some groups are now facing a huge problem: the food is almost exhausted.
Without enough food, they would have no strength to hold on to the wooden board and iron sheet behind them, and the zombies might crash in.
Feng Lihou's face was pale. He looked at his men leaning against the wooden board behind him and collapsed on the ground.
He said to Da Zui weakly: "Do you have any food?"
"No, I have no food for a long time." Da Zui said quickly.
Feng Lihou raised his eyelids and said weakly:
"It has been raining for half a month. If it continues like this, food will be scarce. Our group has completely run out of food. When we become weaker and weaker, and finally can't stop the zombies, we will definitely die."
Dazui's eyes flickered a little, and he asked: "Then, what should we do?"
"Two people upstairs have already died of fever. If we want to persist, then we must..." Feng Lihou didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clearly expressed.
"But, but what is the difference between us doing this and those Southeast Asians back then?" Dazui said with dodge in his eyes.
A man sitting on the ground heard what they were saying and said, "We have no other way to stay alive."
Feng Lihou thought for a while and said: "How about this? Let's establish an agreement. We all agree that we will not hurt each other and only eat dead people. In addition, if we die, we agree to let others eat us. "
"Count me in." The big cat appeared out of nowhere and said.
Dazui lowered his head and walked upstairs.
Feng Lihou looked at his back with deep meaning in his eyes.
He moved his body and discussed with the big cat next to him how to do it more appropriately.
Dazui left Feng Lihou and the others and returned to the connected room on the right side of the second floor. The two rooms were connected in series, and all of them were his team members.
It's just that they seem to be in much better condition than Feng Lihou and the others on the first floor.
Big Mouth enters the first room and then enters the second room.
Slowly walked to the center of the group members.
With a stern expression, he squatted down.
He whispered to everyone: "One thing to reiterate, don't tell anyone else, we found food in here, do you hear it!"
A team member next to him said nervously: "But these foods should be left for all of us by the Da Zhangshu Base, right? Wouldn't it be bad for us to eat them all ourselves?"
Big Mouth's eyes widened, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"You talk a lot, why don't you stop eating? God knows how long this heavy rain will last. If it rains for another two months, what will we eat?"
"Ah Hui, please be careful with your brothers. Our people are concentrated in this big room. Don't go out. If there are zombies coming in from outside, close the door immediately and block the iron shelf next to it. We will stay here. in."
Ah Hui nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, I'll be watching at any time. If anything goes wrong, I'll close the door immediately."
Dazui nodded, remembering that just twenty days ago, when they rushed into the satellite city, Dazui led the brothers to the second floor.
I found several sacks of food placed in the hall.
Not caring about anything else, he immediately asked his brothers to move the food to the room on the right, and then threw his luggage up to cover it.
Later, when he had a meeting with Feng Lihou, he did not take the initiative to tell people in other groups about this.
Regardless of whether the food could be given to them by the Da Zhangshu Base or they accidentally left it behind, Da Zui did not want to share it with other groups.
One more mouth means one less food.
As expected, the food has come in handy after it has been raining for so long.
Big Mouth slowly stood up, walked to the corner, dropped two items from the mountain of luggage, and his eyes flickered when he saw the corner of the sack inside.
"These foods must not be discovered by Feng Lihou and others!"
Big Mouth murmured.
(Ask for monthly ticket)
