Chapter 213: Temporary Residence
The two of them stood trembling in front of a building, yes, this was the closest building to them.
As for why the two of them didn't go in, it was certainly not that they didn't want to go in, but that the gate was locked with a particularly thick iron chain.
When Chu Que just came over, he had already noticed that there was a key hanging next to him, which must be the key to this iron chain, but... The place where the chain was unlocked was sealed with ice.
"Junyu, can you knock this ice off?" Hearing what Chu Que said, he stepped forward directly, and after glancing at the chain, he knew that he would definitely keep hitting with the gun, so he could only use the butt of the gun to knock on the key lock.
Dangdang, knocked three times in a row, and the ice cube in front of the lock was knocked off.
Chu Que stepped forward again and shook the rope and inserted the key into the lock hole, turning it hard, and there was a click. The lock was not opened, and the key was directly broken.
Shaking his right hand, he stretched out the remaining half of the key in front of him, "I... This.. What to do?! ”
Turned his head to look at Junyu, and when he saw such a scene, he was also stunned, this can be broken, is this key too brittle, or is this lock too hard?
"Don't say it... Back off! Chu Que listened to what Jun Yu said, directly threw off half of the key, and then retreated several times.
Yu Chi Junyu pointed the muzzle of the gun at the iron chain, ensuring that it could be completely hit, bang!
The projectile rubbed against the metal, making it a bit glaring in the dim evening, but fortunately the projectile did not bounce back in the same direction.
Jun Yu looked at the iron chain in front of him strangely, and Chu Que looked at it from a distance as if it had not been attacked at all, except for some ice chips that were shaken to the ground.
Then, as if glass shattered, the entire chain made a 'click' sound, and with a thud, it shattered into completely irregular pieces and fell to the ground, including the remains of half of the key.
"Uh, alright, let's go inside." Junyu is still on the bullet, ready to come for a second shot, if it really doesn't work, he won't continue to waste time, but he didn't expect it to become like this.
The two of them entered the wooden house through the door, this is a wooden house with an attic that is not too big, and the previous hut by the lake is about the same size, but there is an additional attic, if the outside is also considered the area, then there should be an additional garden location.
The chains were tied to the doorway of the fence, and the hut was not chained in any way. As for why the two people don't climb over the fence, the main reason is that the fence is too high, a full 2 meters high, and it is covered with ice and snow, which is easy to slip and has no support points.
The first thing you do when you get inside the house is to close the door and go straight to the stove.
In the building that looked like a warehouse in front of him, Junyu smashed the kerosene lamp and threw it in the passage in order to slow down the approach of those snow wolves, which may have played a role, but now there is no fixed fire source.
When the stove was turned on, it was full of coal, and there was a thick layer of dust on it, as if it had not been used since it was full.
Fortunately, Junyu still has that lighter with him, but there is not much fuel in it, and he may use it a few times, maybe after this time, he will not be able to use it again.
The coal went from black to red flames, and then to the same red, and the scorching breath continued to pour out from the cracks.
Chu Que took advantage of the fact that the stove had not been fully lit, and first searched the room in the wooden house.
In the innermost bedroom, as soon as I walked in, I saw a pistol on the ground, and an orange bullet box next to it, "P18C?" Finally there is a weapon. ”
Yu Chi Junyu put the pot on the stove, and found the ladder to go up to the second floor from the storage room at the back of the living room.
"Did you find any flashlights or anything like that, I found an axe here, I don't want to use this good thing as a torch." Junyu's place is so much, the search is very fast, and I found a book that can be used as fuel for a stove, the words on it are understandable, they are all literary books, and at this time they are not as useful as a piece of black coal.
"No, a pistol was found, and a small bag of salt." "Salt? Just add a little bit of salt to the water. Salt can also be used as a good tool, adding a little salt to the snow will melt away quickly and it will no longer freeze. ”
"Oh! Isn't that what kind of chemistry is this? When Chu Que heard Junyu say this, he suddenly remembered that he had done this experiment before, because some classmates were asking why they sprinkled some salt at the door in winter, so the chemistry teacher did a small experiment to show them.
"We walked over before, in fact, we also sweated a lot, add a little salt, not too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive." I pinched a few grains of salt from the salt bag and sprinkled them in the pot, and then stirred them with a spoon, and the already warm snow water was boiled again.
This time, Chu Que took out two more cans of coffee and put them aside, "How many more?" If not much, just a little left. Junyu found two dust-covered mugs in the cabinet next to him, there were no stains on them, just rinse them with boiling water.
"Well, there are 6 cans, I brought a total of 10 cans, I knew I should have brought more." Coffee is something that can be enhanced, and in some cases, it can still come in handy.
The two of them still sat on the sofa, as if the residents here especially like to put a single sofa at home, nest alone, and then the temperature of the stove is indeed very comfortable.
"Ah, I feel alive again." Drinking hot water with a little salty taste, the originally cold cells began to come alive.
"yes, the blizzard outside is getting heavier." Inside the wooden house, you can hear the sound of coal burning quietly, and the loud sound of wind coming from outside.
The louder the wind, the more snow it will bring, so I can only hope that when I get up tomorrow morning, the door will not be blocked by snow.
If it's blocked, there's no way to go out, and although the two of them have enough food, the task this time is not to let the two of them try their best to stay here, but to decide which team survives last.
"Tomorrow we will search the attic and then decide on the next target point. There is a marked city nearby, and you should be able to find transportation, of course, if the wind stops a bit. Junyu put the cup on his lap and looked at the dancing flames, not knowing what he was thinking.
