Chapter 025: The so-called rules
After Zuo An'an finished eating, his stomach finally felt much more comfortable, and he took out the map and studied it.
It wasn't difficult to determine where she was, because she could see the train station in the distance, and there was only one train stop in W City, and with that as a reference point, she quickly figured out where she was.
From the conversations between those people just now, it is clear that the government has set up "some" makeshift camps.
Assuming that there are no senile people, after the earthquake, the communication is completely paralyzed and it is impossible to get in touch with the upper echelons of the state, then the local government naturally wants to centralize the survivors to manage them, but it is precisely because there is no threat of the senile that the mandatory nature of this concentration is greatly reduced.
One is an increase in numbers, a decrease in scale, and a weakening of force.
Where there is a relatively large open space and a relatively sound house, they will go to hide there, and even many of them can be spontaneously organized by the masses, who may want to stay up for a while and wait for the rescue from above.
Zuo Anan doesn't know whether this is good or bad for the majority of ordinary people, but for her, it is definitely a good thing.
With her current ability, it is still difficult to survive alone in an environment surrounded by aging people, but it is still easy to survive in a post-disaster city where order is paralyzed.
The question is where to go.
She ticked a little bit on the map, and finally decided to go to her original destination, the wetlands.
Although she originally planned to go to the university town, firstly, the situation was different, and she no longer had to rely on temporary camps, and secondly, after Lu Jing's experience, she had developed a distrust of these state apparatus.
And the wetland, although it is not suitable for living, but there is next to the mountain, she has a deep understanding of how hot it will be this summer, there is no electricity, no air conditioning electric fan, how tormented it is to squeeze in a cramped small bungalow, she also has palpitations, compared to the mountain will be much cooler, of course, the premise is that there will be no forest fire.
Zuo An'an was going to take a look first, and if it didn't work, he would go somewhere else.
……
……
Half an hour later, a light gray figure carrying a black travel bag walked out of the half-collapsed adobe building, the muddy and hot sunlight was still everywhere, she pressed the brim of her cap, and walked in a northeast direction.
After walking for a long time, she raised her watch and looked at it, at three o'clock in the afternoon, she took a breath, her fair face was slightly red, and her clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
It's hot.
She pushed the locomotive to a camphor tree that could not fall, stopped the car, moved a rock and sat down, took off her hat and mask, took out the water from her bag, and drank most of the bottle in one go.
Looking up at the hazy sky, the air was full of dust.
In fact, this is not dust, probably the ashes raised by the wind, after all, there are so many victims, there are corpse incineration piles everywhere, and the ashes will naturally be raised when they see the wind.
She frowned and put back on her mask.
Take out the map.
She's been walking for more than two hours.
The distance from the starting point to the wetland is about 20 kilometers in a straight line, and if you walk along the road, it will be nearly 25 kilometers, but if you walk, you may not be able to reach it before dark. I don't know if she fell asleep for more than two days and missed the best opportunity, and it can be said that there is nothing that can be used on the street, and all that is left is some broken copper and iron, or it is a car that basically can't be driven now, this old locomotive is still scrapped by her, and it was pulled out of the edge of an underground garage that collapsed to the point that only a small opening remained.
The front of the car was a little crooked, the seats were rotten, and she had to tie several layers of cotton cloth to sit down, and she regretted that she had prepared so many things beforehand, but she didn't think to get a motorcycle or a bicycle.
However, it is better to have a car to travel than to walk, she studied it, and at this time there are still seven or eight miles from the destination, and if it goes well, it can be reached within an hour.
Suddenly, a piece of paper floated in the wind, and she grabbed it and looked at it: "College town camp? ”
It turned out that this was a leaflet issued by the government, which slightly summarized the current disaster situation and casualties, and then said "At the moment of great disaster, the people of W City must unite and work together in the same boat, and I believe that we will overcome this difficulty."
There are more than a dozen temporary camps listed below, the first one is the university town, and the font is extra large and bold, and a parenthesis on the side says that the university town is currently the only one where the army is stationed, and the security ranks first.
W City is moving fast, and it is also handing out flyers all over the street, all because there is no threat of zombies to act wantonly, right?
What made Zuo Anan frown was that the wetland was actually one of the camps.
At this time, a soprano voice came: "Zhao Teng, Zhao Teng, come quickly, there is a car here!" ”
Zuo An'an turned his head to see that it was a girl in her twenties, with burgundy waist-length hair, a transparent sunscreen suit that reached her thighs, an umbrella in her hand, and a small bag full of willows behind her.
She didn't look at anyone as soon as she came over, only circled around the locomotive a few times, and beckoned to a companion behind her: "Now you don't have to be tired, the car we both found, we will definitely be able to sit for a while at that time." ”
At this time, a boy who was also dressed in a non-mainstream way and had an irritable face came over, saw that the locomotive's face was a lot better, and he also commented around the circle: "It's broken, but it's okay, with this car Juanjuan, you can walk a little less, I'll try the performance of this car." ”
As he spoke, he was going to get on the ride.
Zuo Anan looked at it expressionlessly, as if he couldn't understand what was going on.
The wine-colored long-haired girl "Juanjuan" looked at her with an "ignorant" look, and said with a smile: "Oh, I forgot about it, I haven't asked you yet, are you alone?" Now it's very dangerous to be alone, you go with me, my companions are behind, but go with us, your things will be handed over to our team for distribution, we will protect you, and we will send you to the university town, you must know that there is already an army stationed there, which is the safest, and ordinary people can't get in, but we are students there...... Hey, it's cooler under the tree, can you get up and let me sit, my feet are so sore. ”
Zuo An'an was going to get up, so she stood up without saying anything, Juanjuan felt that this girl was really obedient, she was obviously not old, she looked delicate and simple, and her silent appearance was very similar to those nerds, which made Juanjuan, who had seen a lot of people and things in the internship year, feel very good to call.
Then I heard her say again: "Do you have any water, can you give me a bottle, I am dying of thirst!" ”
When she said this, she was pouring half a bottle of water in her hand on a handkerchief, wringing it half-wet to wipe her face, and when she saw Zuo An'an looking over, she smiled and said: "This water is hot, do you have anything cooler, give me some points, and when you get to school, I will invite you to eat cold drinks." ”
Zuo An'an ignored her, but the faint sweeping gaze seemed to look at an idiot, and then walked to the side of the car, grabbed the front of the car that had started the engine and was about to drive, and said to Zhao Teng: "Get down!" ”
Zhao Teng put aside his head and smiled, looking disdainful and helpless: "Another one who doesn't understand the rules." He turned back to Zuo Anan and said, "I tell you, if you join our team, you have to abide by our rules, and all your belongings must be confiscated, I didn't bring this pitiful bag on your back because I see that you are young and don't want to bully you, you ......."
"Get down!"
Zhao Teng's face sank, his finger pointed at Zuo An'an, he didn't say a word, he came down like a frenzy, and pushed the locomotive down: "No one dares to talk to me like this, little girl, you are dead, don't come to the university town in the future, otherwise I will kill you!" ”
