Chapter 38: Our Home
But after seeing the black tide formed by wolves, they had given up on this idea, and only wanted to stay away from this dangerous place until they could never see a wolf again. They really don't want to wake up in the morning to find a large pack of wolves surrounding them, which stems from their modern perception of wolves, which is ferocious, unstoppable, and deeply embedded in their souls.
They were ready to go on again, to go a little more before dark, to be closer to the country they wanted and a little farther away from danger.
It was already dark, and in order to prevent the bright lights from becoming bright lights in the dark night and attracting the attention of nocturnal animals, the two hurriedly stopped on the spot, turned off the lights, and took out a small flashlight as a temporary light source.
One hundred grams of compressed biscuits can provide about 2,000 kilojoules, which can meet a person's energy needs for half a day, but for Xu Qiang and the two now, the high-intensity physical load requires far more calories than needed. But they didn't dare to consume too much of the compressed biscuits they had saved, and there were only three left, and they had to use them sparingly. There is only one bottle of bottled water, and there is about 16L of water left in the PVC water storage bucket.
After hastily eliminating a 200-gram compressed biscuit and the last bottle of bottled water, the two of them flattened their seats, took out their sleeping bags, locked the car doors, and left a gap in each of the left and right windows, and quickly got into the sleeping bags to sleep. Both long knives and axes are kept within easy reach in case of emergency.
"Fatty, are you afraid?" After falling asleep, Xu Qiang asked the fat man a question that the fat man didn't expect.
"Afraid? It's definitely a little, but it's not to the point where I'm too scared to face it. I want to live, it's my right, everything that stands in my way can only be swept aside by me. Besides, hasn't survival always been our premise as existentials? Without survival, where is the survival freak? Do you say, Brother Qiang? Luo Fatzi was very calm and told Xu Qiang what he really thought in his heart.
"Yes, despite all the difficulties and dangers we have encountered today, we ourselves cannot be intimidated by this obstacle. We are weak now, but that doesn't mean we won't be strong in the future. We will grow up together, and we will use our wisdom and knowledge far beyond this era to overcome all the difficulties and dangers in this world. The immediate difficulties are only temporary, and when we find a suitable place to live, they will no longer be called difficulties. ”
Xu Qiang, who moved out the political commissar in the army, not only boosted Luo Fatzi's confidence, but also gave himself a reason not to back down. Homo sapiens was able to defeat Neanderthals and officially put mankind on the stage of history by virtue of his own wisdom and courage. And human beings have been able to go so far and become the masters of the world by relying on the weapons and tools they have created, opening up the whole world, the whole world belonging to mankind.
took out his mobile phone and looked through a few photos of his relatives, and then quickly turned off his phone and put it away to relieve his lovesickness, which is also what the two must do in a few days. The two take turns to charge the phone through the car power supply, so that both of them can look at the photos stored in the phone, and this is the only function. As the gasoline runs out, the battery of the pickup truck loses its function, and the mobile phone will eventually lose its last function, and the sounds and smiles of the loved ones will only exist in their memories, and perhaps one day they will be truly forgotten.
The two of them, tired from a hard day's work, quickly fell asleep, but in the middle of the night, a wolf howl came from a distant place, mixed with the roar of another beast, like a tiger and a lion, and woke the two in their sleep. After listening carefully for a while, there was no sound other than the sound of the night wind.
He fell asleep again, and when he woke up, it was already daylight. The two of them hadn't slept for a long time, and neither of them, who were always vigilant, thought that they had slept for so long last night, and the time was already more than nine o'clock in the morning. Now the time is still very tight for the two of them, and the sooner they find a suitable place to survive, the sooner they can let go of this tired burden. And the two hours wasted were too much luxury for the two of them, so the two hurriedly packed up and followed the direction of the compass.
The fuel tank is about to bottom, and there is still 20L of oil in the auxiliary tank, but the two of them have to rush forward. As modern people, what they learn can be used as their guiding light and even as a prophecy. The cold winter does not know when it will come, they can only choose a warmer place, they have determined that this is the earth, and the sun is in the south. Then going south is the inevitable choice.
After another 20 kilometers, the scenery in front of the two gradually changed, no longer a black field, occasionally revealing patches of yellow earth, mottled colors, and some unburned weeds. The color also changes, from black, pale black, tan, yellowish gray, dark yellow to green.
Looking at the color change in front of them, especially after seeing the green, despite some expectations and predictions, the two of them shed tears of excitement for the first time. It's like wandering in the vast sea and suddenly seeing a small island full of life, the feeling of happiness and excitement fills the heart, making people cry out with excitement.
The two of them did not stop moving forward, and when they stood on the top of a hill in front of them, a sea of green appeared in front of them. At the foot of the mountain is a grassland, some herbivores are moving rapidly, and the wind blows, forming waves in the sea of grass; Further ahead is the endless forest, all kinds of trees, ancient trees towering to the sky, and the figures of various animals flash in the forest from time to time, full of vitality; In the distance, a silver belt meandered through the jungle, the water surface was sparkling and treacherous, like a dream, and the sound of various birds and water currents came in a trance, making the two of them constantly muttering that this was an illusion, this was an illusion, but they did not want to wake up.
Luo Fatzi, who was sitting in the car, let out a loud scream, and looked at Xu Qiang with tears in his eyes:
"Brother Qiang, why are you pinching me?"
Xu Qiang said embarrassedly: "Well, I'm sorry, fat man, I just want to confirm whether this is an illusion." I've confirmed though, it's not an illusion! Haha"
"Yay! We're finally out there! ”
The excited two kept shouting uncontrollably, and the fat man began to dance his waist in the car and wanted to dance, but the space was too small, just letting the pickup truck shake back and forth, just like the car was shaking.
"Calm down, calm down, fat man, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work! Now that we have come out of the scorched earth formed by the fire, we are about to usher in our new life. Hope is at hand, and whether it can be realized depends on whether the two of us can find a better place to live. Go, rush down and find our home! ”
