Chapter 212 212 "The Rain of Help Has Not yet Arrived."

After repeating the same method many times, Jin Like and Gao En moved all the flesh and blood from the alien corpses in the nearby trap back to the entrance of the shelter.

These traps cannot be too far away from the shelter. If they are far away, they will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. If you are not worried that the entrance will be discovered because the alien species is too intelligent in the future, it is most convenient to set it directly at the entrance.

The harvest in these few hours tonight is quite rich, and the flesh and blood of nearly twenty alien species have been taken. Although this can be consumed by the two hundred people underground in one day, it is only the two of Gao En and Jin Li Ke. Personal gain.

From the two underground exits, two groups of people would come out every night, a total of eight people going out to explore.

If every team that went out to explore this week could gain something like this, there would already be a large amount of inventory in the underground warehouse.

——But it is useless to have inventory. When the lines are completely cut off, there is only one refrigerator that can be used by more than 200 people underground. It can hold about two cubic meters, and the cooling effect is very average, and it has been full for a long time. I have installed some necessary things and there is no more storage space.

It’s not that no one has tried to pickle the blood and meat of alien species into dried meat, but as a result of pickling, the blood and meat were indeed dried, but the drying was a bit complete - it was completely gone.

Gao En once again dumped the flesh and blood wrapped in plastic in his backpack at the entrance. With a little too much force, he shook his hands and sat on the ground, sighing tiredly:

"Damn, I'm so tired. You even thoughtfully prepared a midnight snack for us. I don't know if I should thank you."

At the entrance, there were two more small bags wrapped in oil paper and two water cups. After Gao En opened the small bags, he was shocked to find that they contained cooked alien flesh and blood. There was no doubt that this was used to replenish their physical strength. of.

Gao En ate his food without any courtesy. Although the taste was still not good, he didn't feel sick anymore after eating it for so long. Moreover, he added a lot of coarse salt from the salt rock extracted from the ground, giving it a strong salty taste. He also covered up its own taste. After eating it three times, five times five times two times, Gao En let the cup sit for a while. A thin layer of sediment appeared at the bottom of the water, and he drank it all in one gulp.

"Xiba, my body is so weak now, it's all caused by the natural disaster era. I used to be able to eat some human food, but now I can only eat these. I used to be able to eat seven times a night, but now I am in this state. I have to carry a few backpacks. Things, after walking only one or two kilometers, become tired like dogs..."

After eating, Gao En had nothing to do with his mouth, so Gao En started to brag and curse out of habit.

"This thing should indeed have no nutrition. I can feel that my body's functions are declining - although it has not improved since the era of natural disasters, but in this week, because the staple food is only alien species, all the muscles in my body have There was an obvious shrinkage.

Even though I was full, I still felt less powerful than before when I was half full. "

Jin Like ate relatively slowly. While saying these words, he held his right forearm with his left hand. Before the era of natural disasters, there was still a full two and a half knuckles between the thumb and the middle finger. But now, there is only Got off one.

At this moment, he still misses those expired kimchi. Now that he thinks about it, he feels that the taste is still very good. It is worthy of being the national dish of his country. There is something remarkable about it.

"It's good if you can eat it, uncle. If you don't want to eat it, I'll take the responsibility for you, right?" Gao En said with a smile.

"Can you also take on my job later? If possible, I'll give it to you now." Jin Like responded lightly.

"What's the difference between letting me go out alone and letting me die directly? Let's forget it." Gao En immediately waved his hand sincerely.

After Jin Like finished eating the flesh and blood, he checked the small water glass in his hand, sighed, and said to Gao En:

"Let's go, it's time to go to the reservoir in 'Survival' and get some water for everyone. This is probably a more tiring physical job than carrying alien flesh and blood."

Carrying water has always been a laborious task, and this thing is consumed very quickly.

"Ah, Uncle Jin, is it too dangerous to go to the reservoir now? It will be dawn in a few hours. If we don't come back, we probably won't be able to come back. Besides, we have everything tonight After so much harvest, it’s not too much to take a rest,” Gao En said with a frown.

It is already three-thirty in the morning, and the sky is no longer a dim gray-blue, and the white color is gradually diluting it.

The 'reservoir' is actually not far from here. The straight-line distance is only more than 400 meters, and the distance is only one thousand meters. However, with the alien species overflowing in the city, this is still a long and dangerous journey, so He didn't really want to go.

"You see, the water we drink is so turbid. It proves that there is not much water left in our water tanks underground. If we don't get some water back, everyone will probably die of thirst."

Jin Like handed the glass of water with a thin layer of water in his hand to Gao En, and then shook it in front of him. The sediment inside instantly made the water turbid.

"Our 'water tank' is just a groove cut out of stone, and we don't know what the underground environment is. Isn't it normal for the water quality to be like this? It's mixed with a lot of sediment." Gao En disagreed.

"But who would stir the water first when they have nothing to do? The height of the water has reached a point where the cup cannot be fully submerged, which is why such a result occurs. Our water tank may have only one bottom." Jinlik shook his head and explained.

"But it's still too dangerous... I think we should wait for the next rain. How much water can we move here and there? Even if we move it more than a dozen times, it won't be enough for us to collect in one rain. This is the best value for money." So high..."

Gao En frowned and continued to think of reasons why he didn't want to go.

Rainwater is indeed an important source of fresh water for shelters. Before the era of natural disasters, rainwater contained a lot of dust and other attachments in the air. It is not recommended to drink it directly. But now, there is no harm without comparison. Rainwater can be called the purest. fresh water resources.

Naturally, everyone would not let go of the opportunity to collect. For example, at this moment, the top of the one-and-a-half-story building where Jin Like and Gao En were hiding was filled with a large number of containers that could hold water - pots, pans, and even It is a huge 'water basin' made of waterproof tarpaulin.

Not only that, many places nearby have similar designs and arrangements. This is so that when the rain comes, everyone can collect the rainwater most easily and efficiently.

This collection started before the Xenoscourge.

If it rains like that, the water resource problem can indeed be greatly alleviated.

However, God is not kind. The last time it rained was last month before the aliens arrived at Blue Star. The first rain in February has not yet appeared, and the water that everyone can drink has been scarce. .

"Do you think Li Yueming will place his hopes on an uncertain rain? He must hope to collect enough water for the shelter to last this month before the alien tide arrives. After all, this is our last hope. ”

Li Yueming's exciting statement now - as long as February passes, those alien species will die naturally.

"Although we all know that this is an idea to comfort everyone, but who knows? Maybe it will actually become a reality." Jin Like sighed to himself, glanced at Gao En, who was silent, stood up and said:

"Actually, I don't want to take the initiative to put myself in danger. The real reason... giving us food now instead of opening the door for us already explains a lot.

Let's go, for everyone, and also for ourselves to live, we must do this. "

"Ah, Uncle Jin, you still have a niece to take care of, but I have been a loner for a long time. Why do I always feel that I might as well survive outside alone? Forget it, pretend I didn't say that a lone wolf should die more Come on, let’s go.”

After Gao En shook his head and complained, he stood up and followed Jin Like.

"You don't have to hesitate. With your level, there's no guarantee that the lone wolf will die faster and more miserably." Jin Like started to sneak around again while not forgetting to strike, "Actually, we still have There are more than 200 people alive. They have basically lost their oil bottles if they have survived until now. You are probably ranked more than 200 among the remaining people among us. "

"...Uncle Jin, what you say hurts people." Lies will not hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife, Gao En said helplessly.

Although he had to admit that he seemed to be unable to offend the very few women underground.

It seems that he can only beat Jin Li Ke's niece.

"Okay, be silent."

…

While remaining vigilant, the two experienced people arrived at the 'reservoir' one kilometer away without any danger.

The reservoir mentioned in the 'survival' shelter is not a real reservoir built in a river valley or a pocket in the conventional sense, but several large swimming pools in a modified swimming pool.

Most of the roof of the swimming pool is broken, so when it rains, a large amount of rainwater is stored here - a circulation purification system was even installed before, but it was broken during the earthquake.

"There are no bunkers here, and there are quite a few alien species. Do you want to rush over quickly, or should we rely on this 'Ghillie suit' and move over bit by bit?" Jin Like was crawling around the corner observing the situation in the swimming pool. He turned to ask Gao En, who was following behind.

"I don't want to go." Gao En answered seriously.

"If you want it to be ineffective, let's go there quickly. Although the ghillie suit can deceive the brain-dead mutants, the number of mutants here is a bit too large. Maybe there are a few intelligent mutants inside, and someone has discovered our disguise. possible."

Jin Like made a decision immediately, and then found a gap where the aliens did not look over, bowed and quickly moved into the reservoir.

"No, brother, don't start it right after you say it. You should wait for me!"

Gao En almost didn't react. When Jin Like was three meters away, he was stunned for a moment before quickly following him cautiously.

Now that the brightness is getting brighter and brighter, these alien species are gradually no longer blind. This can be regarded as a dangerous attempt.

It seems that Jin Like also wants to seize the time. After all, the danger will increase countless times during the day.

The position of the swimming pool is actually higher than the ground. If the position where Jin Like and Gao En rushed to is called the first floor, the swimming pool is actually built on the second floor of the swimming pool.

After a long period of earthquakes, the repair efforts that have "survived" are extremely limited. The passages in the reservoir have been in disrepair for a long time. The hangings that were originally on the walls are piled up everywhere, and the ceiling has even fallen down diagonally.

Jin Like took Gao En to the locker room in the reservoir first. Since they were already indoors, after the two of them found a large cabinet originally used to store mops and brooms, Jin Like threw the mop into the passage in the distance. mouth, and then immediately closed the cabinet door.

This time, he was not as lucky as before. After the broom rolled on the ground a few times, the footsteps of the alien species appeared in the ears of Jin Like and Gao En.

I saw three alien species trotting in from the entrance of the swimming pool, and then gathered in front of the broom. One of the alien species stretched out his hand and patted the broom, and then looked at his own kind in confusion. However, his own kind had the same reaction.

Then, because this thing appeared at the door, these aliens left from the door just as Jinlick wanted, started moving aimlessly again, and disappeared from sight.

"Uncle Jin, I have imagined countless times what kind of scenery I can see hiding in the cupboard of the girls' locker room. Now I have done it, but the scenery I see is a little different from what I imagined."

The two of them were hiding in a cabinet. Among them, Jin Like was still a big man, so it was a bit crowded. Gao En said in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense at this time. There are alien species in the swimming pool, which is more troublesome. It would be nice if there were large explosives that could attract people. But fortunately, these few went outside."

After waiting for a while, Jin Like walked out of the cabinet, came to the shower room, and tried to open the faucet, but unfortunately it was already broken.

Walking further ahead, you will find the swimming pool. Jin Like took out a button-sized object from his backpack. It was a sound generator. When it was turned on, it would make an intermittently beeping sound, which would last until the small battery inside it. The battery is exhausted.

Without explosives, this is the only way to attract the alien species' attention.

It would be best if it could be recycled after use.

After finding the door as a cover again, Jin Like threw the things directly into the corner of the gymnasium, and then relied on the gap between the door and the wall to spy on the situation inside.

"Didi, didi."

Such a sound echoed quite clearly in the quiet night.

But what's a little strange is that although this is not a complete swimming pool, until the beeping sound started to stop intermittently, no alien species appeared inside. (End of chapter)
