Chapter 218: Searching for Food (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After speaking, Chen Xu glanced at the western urban area, "Let's go to the western urban area first!"
In fact, in the world, there are not a few such ruined ruined cities, the explosion of the Chenobelli nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union in 86, the city of Pripyat in Ukraine became a ghost town overnight, and Katrina swept the Gulf of Mexico in 05, and the city of New Orleans was directly flooded and reduced to an ocean.

"And the closest to us, is the Wenchuan earthquake in my country in 08, a large number of counties and districts were destroyed, turned into ruins, among all the events, the most deaths are caused by the collapse of the house. ā
"It's a reminder that in order to survive in a ruined city, you have to be careful of the buildings, some of which may 'seem solid' but you never know if they will collapse in the next moment, so try not to walk along the broken walls unless you have to, as they can fall down the concrete boulders at any moment. ā
While walking, Chen Xu pointed to the walls of the buildings that had been bombarded into tofu slag by shells.
Then, he put on the windbreaker from the backpack he had taken out, and with a steel crowbar in both hands, he carefully shuttled through the streets.
Although Syria is full of militants, the Hadaya district is a ruin, and the number of people alive is very small, let alone them, and the previous government helicopter gunships were so loud that they attracted only two.
Walking two blocks, Chen Xu saw a two-story ruined house, with a white plaque broken in half on the ground, and the windows and doors on the first floor were all shattered, and from the outside, it could be seen that the inside was full of scattered shelves.
"It's supposed to be a supermarket, and although it should have been 'robbed' countless times, we should try our luck and maybe find something useful for us. ā
So, Chen Xu walked into the supermarket, most of the shelves on the ground were empty, and occasionally some foods with colorful packaging appeared.
He picked up one of the packets of biscuit food with colorful packaging, tore open the package, sniffed it, shook his head and said: "It's already stinky, you see this biscuit, there is already a thick layer of green fluff on it, this is a typical Aspergillus flavus, which is highly toxic and carcinogenic, and can cause enteritis and cause severe diarrhea!"
Throwing away the biscuits, he looked around, "Ordinary food has a shelf life of 9 months to a year, but the Syrian civil war has been fought for five years, and during this period, no matter what kind of food, it will spoil, but there are still a few items that don't." ā
"That is, candy, canned food, air-dried cured meat, instant food, etc., because bacteria like to live in a humid and nutritious environment, and these items are high-concentration salt, high-concentration sugar, vacuum, air-dried environment, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. ā
"So, even if the expiration date has passed, at most the taste will deteriorate, but it can still be eaten!"
So, Chen Xu rummaged through the garbage heaps on the shelves, focusing on looking for these few foods.
"666, get another life skill!"
"What Xu Ye said is true or false, it's been five years, are you sure you still have something to eat?"
"It's true, I've heard that there are a lot of military cans that have a shelf life of several decades, and the shelf life of ordinary cans should be very long!"
"I'm a chemistry major, and it's not easy to grow bacteria with high sugar and salt!"
Taking advantage of the audience's speech, Chen Xu finally pulled out a few purple candies from this garbage, which was the most ordinary bulk crystal candy, which should have been accidentally spilled on the ground when they searched and snatched.
He opened one directly and sniffed it, "It's not weird, it should be edible, such a small candy will provide me with at least 30 calories of energy, and the same amount of pork is only 14 calories." ā
ate two in a row, and the remaining 4 were all put into his pocket, "There is nothing of value here, let's go up and take a look!"
This supermarket is a small two-storey building, the first floor is a supermarket, so the second floor is likely to be a residence.
Chen Xu walked up the stairs.
The second floor was also a mess, and everything that needed to be taken was gone, leaving only an empty wooden bed and a scratched couch, and dusty old clothes scattered all over the floor.
At this moment, not far away, in the pile of debris, a transparent mineral water bottle attracted him.
Chen Xu immediately walked over and picked up the bottle, "This bottle is very useful, it can store water, do distillation, and can also be used as a trap, in the Wenchuan earthquake in 08, there was a teacher who relied on this small mineral water bottle to drink urine and eat the student's homework book, and persevered for 108 hours, and was finally successfully rescued." ā
In addition to the mineral water bottle, he tore a few pieces of foam from the sofa and put them all in his backpack.
When I got out of the supermarket, it was close to noon.
Fortunately, it's winter in Syria, and the direct sunlight doesn't feel hot, but it can be very warm.
The western part of Hadaya is significantly more prosperous than the eastern part of the city.
From time to time, you can see a scrapped car on the street, some of which have been flattened by concrete boulders, and some have exploded and burned to the point that only an iron frame remains.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Chen Xu finally saw an earthy yellow van in front of him, with an orange-red stripe on it, with a long string of Arabic letters written on it, and the most important thing is that next to the letters, there is a white circle, and inside the circle is a red curved moon!
"See, that's the Red Crescent, the symbol of the Red Cross in the Arab region, it's a Syrian ambulance! There's probably a hospital ahead, let's go and have a look!"
With a little excitement, Chen Xu ran forward.
Sure enough, just across the street from that ambulance, there was a white seven-story building, which was the district hospital in Hadaya.
The gate had been blown down, and he walked in directly through the main entrance, which was still well preserved.
Chen Xu looked around and went to the pharmacy of the hospital first, because there were the most medicines and medical supplies there.
But when he arrived at the pharmacy, the glass of the sales counter had shattered to the ground, and the inside was a mess, and the medicines had been looted.
In desperation, he gave up the first floor directly and went down the stairs to the second floor, all of which were empty wards and empty windows.
Because there was no electricity, the hallway was a little dim, and the breeze blew in through the broken windows, making a "whine" sound, like someone crying, which looked particularly scary.
"Wocao, Xu Ye won't go to the set of a horror movie, right?"
"Watching Xu Ye in the hospital with a crowbar, it seems to be playing CS!"
"Nonsense, this is obviously H1Z1!"
