Chapter 655: Ruins
In the nearby town, there was no National Guard garrison, but a pile of ruins, almost all the houses here were destroyed, and in the face of a huge tornado, every QiΔ building was papier-mΓ’chΓ©, especially in this kind of town, where there are many wooden houses, even more so.
The huge tornado, which was hundreds of meters in diameter, passed through the area, and it was already a mess, but there was not half a figure in sight, including the members of the National Guard, and the townspeople who had been affected by the disaster. The only bar was swept away by half. Some bottles were broken, and some were still scattered on the ground.
Zhen Fan walked in on the pile of rubble, took out two bottles of wine on the broken counter, and the surviving ones were not broken, and then shook it in front of Tia and smiled: "I love the bar, it can always give me some surprises!" Thank you to the owner of this bar for giving it to you! As he spoke, he handed over a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Brandy, it's better than nothing!" Zhen Fan saw that Tia didn't mean to answer, and shook the wine bottle again, "We still have to find some food here, because we may have to spend the night here, and ...... You'll have to find a place with a phone, but now it's time to find something to eat! "Many years? Do you want to tell me a story? Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then took out some bread and cream from the ruins, fortunately they were placed in the oven, and the oven was already messy and deformed, Zhen Fan opened the door of the oven as easily as tearing off a piece of chicken leg.
"Hold...... This is our dinner! Zhen Fan said, continuing to look for something in the ruins.
"Enough is enough, tomorrow morning or tonight...... Maybe we'll be saved! Tia tried to persuade Zhen Fan. She hoped that someone would come from here to save them.
"No, no, we need to prepare some food. Look here......" Zhen Fan looked at a clearing not far away. Pointing to a piece of label-like paper that fell on the ground, "This is the label of the U.S. military's canned rations." This means that they have already searched the area and there will be no one here to come to the rescue. So...... Tomorrow we have to hurry and walk from here to the road, and if we're lucky, we might meet someone nice to give us a ride. I don't know where to find a cloth bag, Zhen Fan put all these things into the bag, and then searched around in some people's residential areas. Tia was also searching, and she was looking for a place where two of them could spend the night together, even in the basement.
While the two were searching, suddenly a voice came from not far behind them, and then a person shouted at them. It's a man.
"Hey, you guys, what are you doing?"
The two of them turned their heads. I saw a man in his forties looking at the two of them with a shotgun, frowned and said loudly, "Are you taking advantage of the fire to rob?" Listen to me, put down your bags, and get out of here. β
The man was a big man, with a big belly, a hat, a gray jacket, and jeans that looked a little dirty, but he did have a double-barreled shotgun in his hand. The face is not very good-looking.
"Put down the bag and get out of this place. Don't let me see you again! The man yelled at Zhen Fan and Tia again, "You damn thieves. Don't try to take advantage of the fire! ββ¦
"I'm sorry...... We are not thieves! Tia was angry, but helpless, but couldn't help but defend herself, "We were blown here by a tornado, and ...... I'm a scientist who specializes in tornadoes, and he'...... It's the people of the small town of Lecce......"
"What's in your bag?" The man seemed to be somewhat convinced, he knew the town of Lecce, "And ...... Since you're talking about being a scientist, you have to come up with something to prove it, right? β
When Tia heard this, she subconsciously touched her pocket, and she still found a card, which was a document she handled at the local meteorological bureau, which she could use to contact local officials and get some help. So Tia has been staying on her body, and this time she was actually blown away by the wind.
"This ...... It's some food! "Zhen Fan had many ways to make the guy with the gun unlucky, but he didn't do it, after all, this is just an ordinary person, just an ordinary person who is vigilant after the disaster, and there is no need to deal with him. Of course, if he dares to shoot, it's another matter.
Zhen Fan opened the cloth bag, revealing some wine and bread, cream and jam inside. And Tia carefully threw her card over, the person took a few steps forward, picked it up from the ground, and saw that it was indeed a certificate from the local meteorological bureau, so he put down the gun and waved his head at Zhen Fan and the two.
"You're definitely going to spend the night here today, and if you miss this place, you'll have to camp in the wild, and I'm in the basement here, which can accommodate a few people! Do you want to come along? The man looked at Zhen Fan and Tia and said.
"Great, thank you!" Tia was overjoyed, she was still frustrated about sleeping in the wilderness, but she didn't expect to meet a good person, so she walked over and said to the man, "Are you the only one left here?" Has the National Guard been here? We couldn't find anyone to help! β
"Yes, they came very quickly, everyone else followed them except me, maybe the government had a rescue for them or something, I didn't go, I plan to start building my house again tomorrow. With wood, there is good wood here, and there is no problem at all in building a house. I don't want to go anywhere else! β
The man turned around and led the way as he spoke, and said as he walked, Zhen Fan also re-tied the cloth bag, followed behind the two of them, walked more than ten meters, and found the entrance to the basement outside the ruins of a wooden house, and then the three mermaids rushed in and entered the basement, there was no electricity, so the man lit an oil lamp and hung it on the top of the center of the basement.
The basement is not spacious, but it is not low, and when people stand in it, it is no different from ordinary houses. There weren't many people for three, so it wasn't crowded. There was only one bed in the basement, but Tia was relieved to see the rolls hanging on the walls.
"I've prepared a lot of things just to prepare for a tornado, and this tornado is the biggest I've ever seen, so I hope the hell the weather was just a coincidence." When the man came in, he sat down at the table. Zhen Fan also put the cloth bag on the ground and took out bread and wine from it.
"What do you want? Beer? Brandy's? Or rum? β
"Give me a bottle of rum!" The man said a word, then turned around and put the shotgun away, took out a large piece of beef from a cabinet, and said to Zhen Fan, "I marinated it, if you can grill it, our dinner will be richer, I'm not good at barbecue, I like to fry it in the pot!" β
"No problem!" Zhen Fan took it, and the man handed over a knife, and Zhen Fan cut the beef, without a fork, how long to put it on an iron shelf, and then prepared to make a fire in the basement. The man went and opened the door panel of the entrance to the basement to let in the air from outside.
The beef on the iron plate made a sizzling sound, the aroma was overflowing, and after the fire was burned, Tia also felt the warmth on her body, and then picked up a piece of roasted beef with a knife, cut a small piece and put it in her mouth, and quickly it was a little hot, but it was more of the delicious taste, although it was only marinated with salt, but the taste of the roast was no worse than that in the restaurant.
"How did you do that?" When Tia wanted to ask this sentence, she was preempted by that person, and he also tasted the delicious beef, and couldn't help but ask Zhen Fan, "Is every Chinese a natural chef?" β
"I'm a doctor!" Zhen Fan said this, stretched out his hand towards the person, and said with a smile, "Fan? Examine! β
The man wiped his hand that was a little greasy because of grabbing beef, then shook it with Zhen Fan, and said with a smile: "Charlie? Pullman...... Uh, your girlfriend? Just call me Charlie! The next sentence was addressed to Tina, who was smiling at her.
"Tia? Caladan! Tia reached out and shook Pullman, then shrank back, nibbled on her beef, then took another bite of bread and said, "I'm not his girlfriend, I'm just someone I happened to meet, you know...... In such chaotic weather, anyone can meet it! β
When Zhen Fan heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, it was the first time he heard this woman's name, it turned out to be Tia? Caladan still sounds a bit like Mia's name.
"Cheers!" Zhen Fan picked up the brandy bottle and Pullman, who was holding the rum bottle, said with a smile, "The first time I spent the night under such circumstances, three strangers who didn't know each other at all, under the wonderful arrangement of fate, actually got together, drank wine and ate barbecue, for this!" The two touched the bottle as they spoke.
"And me!" Tia grabbed a beer bottle from the side and wanted to open it with her teeth, but it didn't work, Zhen Fan took it, broke it with his fingers, and then handed it over.
The bottles of the three people touched again, and each took a big sip, Charlie said: "I'm sorry, I always thought you were lovers before, this is my problem, what are you going to do?" Is it a walk back tomorrow? It's still far from the small town of Lecce, and it's ...... I don't think there will be any more cars passing by along the way, after all...... This section of the road has been completely destroyed! β
"Do you have a phone?" Tia asked.
"Sure, it's a cell phone, but it's ...... Don't even think about it, it's out of power! Charlie took out his mobile phone from his body, held it up and shook it, shook his head and smiled, "Now this piece has no power, so ...... You'll have to walk back, but it's only half a day's journey. β
