Chapter 30: The West City Breaks
Luo Xun went into the bathroom and took a pleasant showerβthe water from the two large water tanks on the roof was used.
Usually, the water he distilled will be gradually added to it, and as for the water that comes out of the water pipe, he doesn't dare to use it directly.
While wiping his hair, he walked out, and the things on the living room table had been cleaned up by Yan Fei, and now there were two pieces of paper on it.
"What is this?"
Yan Fei just came out of the kitchen at this time, and said: "It was posted on the door a few days ago, and the notice about water safety was also reminded on the radio all day before, and people were asked to go to the designated place to get water purification tablets." β
Luo Xun picked up one and glanced at it a few times, and sure enough, it was about water safety - when boiling water, the water should be boiled for at least a quarter of an hour before it could be used, the water from the water pipe should settle for at least a day, and only the upper layer of water should be put into other containers to add water purification tablets, etc.
Secretly relieved, he has always used these methods to treat drinking water, this is the habit of surviving in the last days in the previous life, but I didn't expect the base to find the problem now, and immediately raise it.
Yan Fei stared at Luo Xun, and only after seeing him finish reading did he say, he said, "I have been treating the water at home according to the method you said, but it is similar to this." β
Luo Xu's face should not continue to wipe his hair: "It's not a big mistake to be careful, I'm also afraid that when I don't go out, I won't be caught by the zombies and assimilated into monsters, and if I don't pay attention to what happens in these little things, I will be even more unlucky at that time." β
Indeed, although these methods are very cumbersome, as long as you use your brain, you can think that Yan Fei has found that he has been extremely careful in this regard since he lived in Luo Xun's house, and it is not surprising that he has such cautious behavior.
Thinking of this, Yan Fei suddenly smiled and asked, "You used to play wild survival?" Or do you like camping? β
Luo Xu's expression froze, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'm an otaku......"
Military house, wild survival house, and squatting house at home can all be called otaku, although the word house is usually regarded as a single meaning in China, but Yan Fei, who just knew some of them, made up a completely different meaning from what he said for his brain, I have to say that people's brains are really powerful.
In addition to one of the two leaflets reminding everyone about water safety, the other is to recruit people to actively participate in the mission of the base, especially the mission to go out to collect resources and rescue missions.
After the end of the world, some people who fled quickly and were lucky naturally went to the bases established by the military to escape from danger, but many more people were blocked in buildings in urban areas and could not get out.
Most of the people trapped in the buildings around the base have been rescued by this time, but there are many more trapped in the deeper parts of the city. Most of the people living in the base have some relatives living in the city, and there are many people with status who send out a message for help at the end of the world.
I was too busy building a base to take care of these people, but now that I'm finally settled, it's time to think about helping them.
Otherwise, every extra death is a threat to today's survivors - most of them will become zombies when they die!
Luo Xun didn't plan to go out as soon as he came back, Yan Fei had almost made all the unused metals at home into large and small crossbows and crossbows and arrows in the past few days, most of the crossbows and arrows were sub-bullet type, in addition to the sub-bullet type, there were also spirals that he had envisioned and might pose a greater threat, etc., but the effect would have to wait for Luo Xun to come back and the two would discuss it together.
The same is true for the five college students on the other side, who have to study the precious materials left behind by the abandoned firewood house, and prepare to make some flower pots, seedling boxes, and so on.
Of course, whether it is Luo Xun, Yan Fei or the five students in the opposite door, everyone always has to go out again, and the clothes, seeds and other things are not complete, and Luo Xun has to arrange the next room with Yan Fei.
After five days on the roof, Luo Xun said that there was no place more comfortable than his big bed.
The mattress at home is the hard kind, although sleeping is not as comfortable as a thick soft mattress that can sink people into, but the soft mattress is easy to break, not to mention, if you need to go out for a period of time one day, people who are used to sleeping in soft beds go out and sleep on the hard floor The sense of difference is likely to be a big mistake. What's more, the big bed at home is already very comfortable.
Climbing onto the big bed, Luo Xun quickly fell asleep, and didn't notice that Yan Fei, who came in behind him, stood by the bed and looked at him quietly for a while, before he came up from the outside lightly.
Luo Xun got up a little late the next morning, and after waking up, he first came back to his senses in bed for a while, only to feel that his body was full of soreness - these days, a group of them have been on the roof for the night, and it is winter, and the breeze outside is not as cold as usual, and it is already a good sign of his body not to blow him cold.
Yawning downstairs, I saw the little guy jumping around the sofa and fluttering on Yan Fei's slippers. The shoes that were used as a dinner table by the little guy last night have been replaced by Yan Fei - the big puddle of oil stains on them, even if he doesn't have a habit of cleanliness, he can't bear it. And think about it, there's a bunch of shitch on there...... Last night he just took it off and threw it into the basin and soaked it.
At this time, the little guy pounced on Yan Fei's shoes, and he would be hit by a bullet in Yan Fei's head and jump back, and then pounce, be bounced, and jump backwards.
This person and dog seemed to play in harmony, which made Luo Xun couldn't help laughing.
The little guy was the first to find out that Luo Xun had come down, and immediately abandoned Yan Fei and rushed towards Luo Xun, flattering the little tail so that only an afterimage remained.
"Awake? There are still frozen buns in the refrigerator that you left before you left, I just ate four of them, how many will I heat for you? Yan Fei got up and asked when he saw him coming down.
"Take four too." He has consumed a lot of body when he was outside these days and moved things yesterday, and the amount of food is not small, so he will come to four pads to pad his stomach first.
Ready-made food in the refrigerator and kitchen is for daily consumption. Although Luo Xun can do it himself, no one wants to do it himself when he is tired, and it is his ultimate dream to be able to make a lot of them in one go and not have to fire for a month when he has time.
I used to cook every day because the end of the world had just arrived, I was happy to see the abundant ingredients, and I was so troubled by a sick number at home.
There are not only steamed buns, but also Yan Fei got up early to boil white rice porridge. There is still some loose rice left in the house, which is placed in the kitchen, and Yan Fei can occasionally use his own hands to open the fire during Luo Xun's absence.
Riding a spoonful of porridge that was as sticky as rice, Luo Xun glanced at Yan Fei, who had a beautiful face, and very sensibly didn't ask him how much water and rice he put in, and lowered his head to simmer and eat.
The radio at the table was still on, sizzling the latest news.
Listening to the peaceful and good official speech there, Yan Fei felt that there was really nothing to hear, so he simply began to adjust the stage, and by the way, he avoided seeing Luo Xun's somewhat strange gaze when he ate rice porridge comparable to rice.
The little guy didn't make a fuss about eating at this time, but put his chin on Yan Fei's shoes, used his shoes as pillows, and honestly guarded the two of them.
When Luo Xun killed the third big bun, Yan Fei seemed to have just tuned to a certain channel, but the signal was not very clear, and he was fine-tuning it to see if he could hear the content clearly. Suddenly, Luo Xun's hand that was sending the bun to his mouth stopped, and Yan Fei's movements also stopped instantly, and the two glanced at each other and looked at the radio - the sound inside could be faintly heard at this time!
ββ¦β¦ Break...... A large number of survivors have turned into zombies! Western Base for help! Zombies attack the base, and a large number of ordinary people in the base become zombies! Western Base for Distress ......"
Voices came over and over the radio, and it was not until about twenty minutes later that there was no more sound.
The two looked at each other with a somewhat complicated expression, generally speaking, even if there is any danger, they will not use civilian signals to send distress messages, it can be seen that there is probably something unexpected in the western base, which caught the people near the radio station off guard, and directly began to ask for help.
Luo Xun thought for a while, suddenly got up and walked to the balcony, picked up the telescope placed on the balcony and looked in the direction of the barracks.
The artillery regiment had moved over not long after the end of the world began, and the troops had begun to expand at the same time as the people at the base began to build the base wall, and the wall had already been built, as if it seemed to be closer to the neighborhood than before.
At this time, he could faintly see that there were military vehicles moving on the main road over there.
"What's wrong?" Yan Fei waited for a while, and only when he saw him put down the binoculars did he ask.
"The troops are moving vehicles." Luo Xun put down the binoculars and suddenly looked at Yan Fei, "You said before that where your family lives?" β
Yan Fei's eyebrows twitched, and his face sank: "...... West Side. β
Luo Xun took a deep breath and looked out the window again, Yan Fei also picked up the binoculars and looked out at this time, and sure enough, he saw a steady stream of various military vehicles driving out of the troops, including even land combat vehicles and tank vehicles, which should have belonged to the artillery regiment.
After thinking for a while, Luo Xun comforted: "Although it is a little sudden, but several other bases should try their best to support after receiving the news......
Yan Fei was slightly upset in his heart, he really didn't have any good feelings for his parents, and he didn't even care about whether they were alive or dead. After knowing that five shelters and bases had been quickly established near City A, he knew that the two members of his family would definitely move into one of these five bases as quickly as possible as long as they lived. But now that I hear that there is a problem with the western base, I still can't help but feel a little headache.
didn't want Luo Xun to worry about the two people who were not only irresponsible, but would not even care about their lives even if they were alive, Yan Fei turned to say: "The radio said that the survivors in the western base suddenly turned into zombies? β
Luo Xun paused for a moment before nodding slightly, frowning at a brow that was not as smooth as it was originally without a trace of wrinkles: "Hmm...... I think...... Maybe it has something to do with water. β
"Water?" Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the kitchen, and then at Luo Xun.
Luo Xun spread his hands: "I'm just guessing, who knows what's going on?" Now we can only wait, wait for the rescue of a few bases, wait and see if there are any survivors over there who can escape. "There must be survivors, although there are zombies in the western base, the number of living people should be more than the number of zombies in the base, and the biggest danger faced by the western base is to see how many zombies will be attracted to the outside world.
The reason why Luo Xun said that there would be survivors in the western base who fled here was because many of the people he knew when he lived here in his previous life had escaped after the collapse of several other bases.
There were a total of five official, large-scale bases in the early city of A, but all of them, except for the eastern and southwestern bases, were quickly destroyed at the beginning of the apocalypse. The reason for the destruction is that a large number of survivors inside the base suddenly turned into zombies, biting people nearby and expanding the danger.
And even if it was the eastern base later, the reason for its collapse was the appearance of zombies inside and the zombie siege. At that time, the eastern base wall was at least twenty meters high, and the access was very strict, and only one gate was allowed to enter and exit. Therefore, when the zombies broke out internally, the people in the city had nowhere to escape, so when the eastern base was broken, the loss was the most tragic of the four broken city A bases.
How did these cities come to be? Why did zombies suddenly erupt in the base? Was it sabotage or an accident?
Luo Xun didn't know the specific reason, but he remembered that since then, the water sanitation standards in City A have reached the point of trivial grinding. If you say that there is nothing to do with the two, you don't believe him if you kill him.
"Our base has just sent a message about using water purification tablets and boiling more water, I'm afraid there are concerns about this."
Yan Fei glanced at Luo Xun deeply and didn't say anything. He intuitively felt that what Luo Xun said was probably the key, and Luo Xun was definitely beneficial and harmless to get such a time-consuming and laborious set of water purification equipment at home.
The two didn't think about it for too long, and they were harassed by the loudspeaker broadcast outside.
An urgent notice was issued to everyone over the loudspeaker -- the southwest base should be expanded and urgently recruited manpower. Recently, it has not been peaceful outside, so everyone tries to go out as little as possible, and even if they go out, they try to participate in the task of clearing the zombies around them.
Now because the first-level zombies have not yet run everywhere, although some people have found that the zombies that have become faster, more powerful, and more flexible in their actions do have something in their heads, they have not yet been widely spread. The research institute on the base has not yet figured out what the purpose of these strange things is, so there is no such thing circulating in the base.
Nowadays, most of the people who take the initiative to participate in the zombie clean-up operation are acting with the military, and the military personnel finally count how many zombies were killed in a small battle and come back to end the mission. There are always loopholes to exploit in the specific implementation of this operation method, and the remuneration that can be obtained is not much, so most people who are afraid of running out of food at home hear that there is another construction task, and it is more cost-effective to decide to participate in the construction task.
