Chapter 162 162 "Absurd."

Chapter 162 162· “Absurd.”

It is now the end of the earthquake disaster, and this neighborhood is quite peaceful. The corpses that appear every day are no longer caused by man-made disasters.

Qin's father was thankful for this, because it was foreseeable that the subsequent polar night disaster would be much more peaceful and safer, which was definitely a good thing for them.

Even joining Buck and the others would be an option in the future.

We have reached the outskirts of the park.

When I arrived here nearly a month ago, the appearance had changed drastically. It was approaching from a park to a gathering place.

The rockery in the park has turned into a large 'house' that has been raised on the ground. The top is covered with solar panels, and resting spots similar to tents are scattered around it.

At this time, which is close to noon, through the barbed wire and fence, you can see someone preparing lunch for everyone in the park. From a distance, it looks like a pot of random stew with various ingredients.

It doesn't smell good, and I don't know if it will cause diarrhea after eating it like this.

The iron fences in the park were re-erected, but due to frequent earthquakes, they were not maintained continuously, so none of them could remain straight and now they are all crooked.

In fact, the protective effect it can play is very low, and a normal person can climb over it after taking some time.

But doing this kind of provocation to the park is meaningless and will only break the harmony of the neighborhood.

Naturally, Qin's father would not do such provocative behavior and walked towards the guarded door honestly.

When I walked to the door, a car drove out, followed by several bicycles.

Qin's father watched them go away, thinking about the need to get a bicycle.

In this neighborhood, the park is the only organization that owns and uses a gas truck.

Vehicles are actually not difficult to find. Although the vehicles parked randomly on the roadside have been completely changed by the ice disaster, there are always some cars in the garage that have basically remained intact in the past two months.

It’s hard to get oil from an oil tanker, but even if it’s a tram, what can independent people like Qin’s father and James do to support the vehicle?

Use solar charging panels to charge trams? That's two hundred hours of charging and five minutes of ignition.

Regarding electricity, even if it is a park, they would like to, but there is no way to establish a normal power system or find a suitable way to generate electricity to power the tram.

When I actually started doing it, I discovered that there were so many twists and turns behind the power supply that it was unimaginable.

There are many theories and approaches, but after all, the park is just a small gathering place for survivors, and there is no talent, equipment, or ability in this area.

The electricity they have is similar to Qin's father, both from solar panels, but they have more.

For them, it is almost unrealistic to create modern things by themselves from raw materials.

To be honest, if all the modern finished products on Blue Star disappeared but the raw materials were left behind, for the people here, it would directly degrade their quality of life again.

In "Robinson Crusoe", Robinson turns a tree into a usable board. The time unit spent is calculated in months.

Without modern tools, they would be no better.

"What are they doing? Can I ask?"

Father Qin spoke to the guard while finding all the weapons on his body and placing them here.

"I'm just going to get some water from the nearby reservoir." The guard replied smoothly, then pointed at the things in the backpack that the other party opened in front of him, and asked: "Are these the things you came to trade today?"

"Yes, it's all here. We want to replace it with a fishing net, and the excess can be replaced with cans as much as possible. Also, we want to see if we can replace it with something suitable for this battery."

Father Qin responded by taking out the trophy he got from James.

The backpack contained a box of hardware tools discovered by Qin's father and some objects collected from the ruins. The biggest feature of these objects was that they were of little use to the survival of only two people with no professional knowledge. However, For a gathering place, something that could be used to improve the environment of the gathering place - there are even a few trays of incense inside.

This is a win-win deal.

"We will evaluate the value and get back to you later. You can go in first and wait."

A doorman walked away directly with his things.

The Qin family father and son don't care, there is still credibility here - mainly there is no point in resisting.

When we walked inside the park, some people had already started lunch. They also took out their own dry food from their backpacks and started to drink water from the water glasses.

I heard the conversation of park members:

"We did not choose to follow the master, which was the right thing to do. Otherwise, we would have been like this man. It was so miserable. I can't even imagine how desperate he was in his last few hours."

Qin's father looked over curiously, and then asked a park member who was relatively familiar to him: "Leidi, what are you talking about?"

"A video left by a person who died more than 20 days ago. We just found it today from a corpse in a pile of rubble elsewhere. Do you want to take a look?"

When the other party heard this, he pushed a camera on the table in front of Qin's father.

The cracks on the lens of this camera are basically useless if not repaired, but its internal functions do not seem to be damaged, and you can also view historical videos.

"I'm going to die, no one will come to save me, Fake Squid World, why are you treating us like this?" Lightning struck at the opening, and the short video clicked was completely dark, and only the person weakly said this sentence and it ended.

"Look from the front to the back." Lei Di prompted after seeing Qin's father's confusion.

There are actually not many videos in the camera, only a few. After all, normal people will export the videos after taking them with the camera. Therefore, under normal needs, the memory card purchased for the camera will not be particularly large and cannot store too many videos.

"Finally, finally the ice disaster is coming to an end! We have been waiting for this day for so long."

In the first video, a man with a weak eyebrow and frost on his eyebrows said to the camera, and then moved the camera out of the window, "I can feel that the temperature is getting warmer little by little..."

Listening to the camera owner's many thankful expressions, Qin's father noticed that the time on the camera showed that the video was taken at the end of last month.

…

But in the next video, the situation took a turn for the worse. The video was a mess. A large number of people were running away, crying out in despair, and even smashing the scene, but there was nothing intact around them.

"We were deceived! The people at the shelter originally said that they already had a plan to deal with the earthquake disaster. We can be moved to a safe place immediately, so there is no need to worry!"

"But today, even the lunch that was supposed to be distributed didn't show up! We couldn't bear it and ran out of the room to question the person in charge, but we found that they were all gone! Not a single one was left!"

"They have run away! They have no intention of taking us with them! These damn guys! Beasts! Devils in hell..."

The camera lens was reversed, and the owner's bloodshot eyes were looking straight into the camera. The extremely shaking lens, and the trembling in the voice that kept yelling and cursing, all showed the camera owner's uneasiness.

…

"We don't know where to go, we don't know how to go, there is ice outside that has not yet melted, but it's almost next month, what should we do, what should we do...

Everyone was in despair. Some people were still staying in the shelter, and some had already run away, but they were running in different directions. I decided to run in the direction with more people. "

In the next video, the owner of the camera seems to be on the way to escape. What is recorded in the camera is the team running inland. However, they have no command and coordination, and their progress is very slow. In the process of recording the video In the middle, the owner fell down.

…

"These may be my last words." The man's big face appeared in the camera lens again, accompanied by these words in the noisy background.

The camera flips again.

It turns out the earthquake has caught up with them.

The city fell into chaos, as if everything was about to collapse. Rubble and dust were flying in the streets, colliding with each other and making noisy sounds.

The tall building swayed like a trembling beast, looking for a way to escape.

The few survivors were running away in terror. Kindness and selfishness merged into one at this moment - some fell, and some actually stepped forward to help them, while others ran forward crazily for fear that they would not be able to run. Everyone along the way was knocked down by him.

But the ending is actually pretty much the same.

No one can escape this disaster.

There was a loud noise, and a tall building instantly turned into ruins.

"What a regrettable scene, what a despairing scene, there is no way to escape."

The owner of the camera stood still, his voice numb, just holding the lens to record everything.

The frozen dust and ashes surged in all directions like a huge wave. Time seems to have become meaningless in this situation, and people are walking around but cannot tell the direction.

The collapsed building gradually approached the location of the camera owner. When he fell, the video came to an end.

…

"I don't know whether I should be lucky or unlucky." By the next video, the video was already dark.

"I actually survived such an earthquake, but it seems I didn't survive. I was trapped and died in the rubble. I can feel that my left hand and lower body, which cannot move, are bleeding."

"But I can't do anything but wait for death."

"I can still feel that this world is still in the midst of an earthquake. Maybe in the next second, this space will be gone, and my head will be crushed."

"An earthquake was really a magical experience. A strong vibration seemed to come from deep in the earth. Suddenly, I felt like I was grabbed by a hand and pushed into the dark wind.

These horrific experiences all happened in an instant and made me unable to breathe. I fell down weakly, there was a tearing sound, and then nothing happened. "

"Just like my life, there is no more."

"I didn't even want to call for help because I knew no one would come to save me."

It turns out that the darkness is because he has been sealed in the ruins.

…

"I'm going to die, no one will come to save me, Fake Squid World, why do you treat us like this?"

So here we are at the last video.

"Is the corpse in peace?" Qin's father chuckled lightly, pushed the camera back and asked.

"Haha - his prediction was correct. When we found him, the space he was in had already collapsed, and his skull was shattered into pieces. As for the eyes you mentioned, they were rotted into stinky mud. Who knows? Closed.

But this thing actually stayed and was still usable, which is amazing. It's a pity that this lens would have cost several thousand before the natural disaster. Reddy said with a smile.

This is a video recording the process of death. The whole process is filled with an atmosphere of despair and depression. But even the Qin family father and son had no feelings after watching this video.

Isn't this a normal thing?

They have experienced such earthquakes for more than twenty days and nights.

Their residence was also moved from the triangular garage to another place - the former had collapsed.

Countless people died after meeting him.

Maybe he will be the one who dies tomorrow.

I really can't make any waves in my heart.

"But I really didn't expect that the magic hand would lose the residents of the shelter." Qin's father just said.

"When a disaster strikes, we can all fly separately. We can't take care of it. Let me think about it, how can we send these people to the inland without vehicles?"

Reddy shrugged:

"But it's disgusting that Fa Shou takes responsibility but is not fully responsible. It's better to tell all of us directly that we can rely on ourselves. The country cannot be relied on. If we are prepared, we may be able to survive the earthquake disaster for longer. Many people, just like you and me.”

"Yes." Father Qin nodded.

"Are you two going to the seaside this afternoon?" Reddy asked.

"Well, that's why I changed the fishing nets. I don't know if I can catch some aquatic products. If you can, keep the materials on hand later. In the extreme night disaster, it is unrealistic to go to the sea." Father Qin had nothing to hide. said.

"Let's get together later. I just happened to go get some coarse salt. The seasonings in the park are a bit scarce. I can't bear to eat those faded bird things." Reddy said.

"Coarse sea salt, isn't it good to eat it directly? Or have you mastered the method of processing and purifying it?" Qin's father asked.

The extraction of coarse sea salt is very simple - the seawater evaporates, but what remains is unprocessed natural salt, which is rich in minerals and trace elements, and also contains a large amount of harmful substances such as sediment and heavy metals.

The particles are large and difficult to dissolve, which may cause problems after eating.

"I've asked the doctor in the park. In the short term, it's just stomachache at best. It's not a big problem. As for the long term... I don't know if it's long term, so why do I care about it?" Reddy said nonchalantly.

"That's fine. Let's go together. There are many people so we can take care of them." Father Qin nodded.

“But it’s ridiculous to say that we actually have an extra ‘Mediterranean Sea’ here.” Reddy said with a smile.

The "sea" in this neighborhood was still land half a month ago, and at this distance, tsunamis could not spread. However, under the dual effects of earthquakes and tsunamis, seawater poured in here in the past few days.

This also resulted in many people having to relocate their locations.

But the name of the ocean treasure house is true - although many fish could not adapt to the ice disaster and were frozen to death, the water's heat preservation ability still allowed a large number of fish to successfully survive.

And this became everyone's new ration.

"It's not ridiculous enough. This world will definitely become even more ridiculous." Father Qin looked up at the sky.

He suddenly laughed at himself.

He must have been hallucinating just now - he actually saw a small plane in the distant sky, with the bright colors of the East Kingdom.

This is ridiculous.
