Chapter 80: The Butcher's Shop
The four people led by Jia Xingguo continued to sneak cautiously forward. The lure of food seemed to overcome the fear of the unknown room for the first time.
When the group arrived at the first room.
The door of the room was in a semi-empty state, and Jia Xingguo immediately made a gesture to the person behind him to stop.
The three people behind him immediately stopped.
Wang Meiqi asked in a low voice.
"Is there a situation?"
Jia Xingguo replied.
"I don't know, there is no shadow of a living corpse in the current line of sight."
"You wait for me outside first."
"I'll go in and see what's going on."
"Soon enough!"
After Jia Xingguo finished speaking, he held the military machete tightly in his right hand and pushed open the door of this room with his left hand.
When Jia Xingguo walked into the room, he found that there were no living corpses inside.
He said to the people outside the door with a false alarm.
"It's very safe here, let's all come in."
After hearing Jia Xingguo's words from the room, everyone walked into the room.
This room, not big or small, look at the furnishings to know that this is a bedroom.
There was a large double bed in the room, and an 80-inch flat-screen television was inlaid on the opposite wall of the bed, and a wardrobe was placed next to the TV.
Wang Meiqi sat on the bed, turned it up and down twice, and then said to the others.
"I really want to get a good night's sleep, I haven't had a good night's sleep since the catastrophe."
Seeing Wang Meiqi so tired, An Jinglong said to Wang Meiqi.
"Yes, everyone is too tired these days."
"But the first thing we're going to do is search the whole house."
"We can't rest until we're sure we're safe!"
"What's more, going downstairs to fill our stomachs is what we need most!"
An Jinglong reminded Wang Meiqi.
But seeing Wang Meiqi so tired, coupled with the fact that she is a girl, even if she is from a military background, the pressure brought to her in the past few days has not overwhelmed her, which is already very admirable.
Li Siqiang looked at the weak Wang Meiqi and said to An Jinglong.
"Uncle An, just let Sister Meiqi sleep here for a while, and the three of us can complete the task of searching the room."
"Let's not embarrass a girl."
"She's really running out of stamina!"
Li Siqiang kindly reminded An Jinglong and Jia Xingguo.
An Jinglong looked at Li Siqiang and said with a smile.
"You're very thoughtful."
"Actually, I'm thinking the same thing,"
"Just do as you say, and the three of us will be in charge of the investigation."
"As for the girl, let her relax."
At the same time as the three men were talking one by one, the sound of Wang Meiqi's sound of sleep had already come from their side...
An Jinglong beckoned the two out of the room, closed the door quietly, and then said to Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo.
"The girl is already asleep, so you don't have to worry about how to protect her."
"In order to buy time as soon as possible, let's spread out and go to explore the room."
"If there are signs of a living corpse, within the scope of your ability, just do it!"
After hearing An Jinglong's address to Wang Meiqi, the two asked in unison.
"Uncle Jing, why did you come out?"
An Jinglong replied.
"I just want 'Lao An' to rest, I'm more suitable for the current environment."
"Because it's definitely this more than the firearm 'Lao An'."
An Jinglong made a thumbs-up motion.
"But when it comes to melee combat, although I'm not as perverted as you two, I'm very comfortable with killing people and killing living corpses!"
An Jinglong took out a folding fruit knife from his pocket and said to the two.
"Okay, let's act quickly, solve it early, let's eat early!"
Jia Xingguo and Li Siqiang looked at the folding fruit knife in An Jinglong's hand and asked in surprise.
"Uncle Jing, where did you get the fruit knife in your hand?"
An Jinglong replied.
"I saw it at a glance on the table in the room just now!"
"Now that we all have melee weapons, I won't hold you back."
"I'm a lot older than you, but it's not useless!"
After arranging their respective rooms, the three of them went separately one after another.
Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo were in charge of the remaining rooms on the second floor, while An Jinglong, who was in charge of the downstairs, walked towards the stairs.
Half an hour later...
In the foyer on the first floor, three people stood together.
They recounted to each other the details of their own actions.
Jia Xingguo said.
"My room is very safe, and no living bodies have been found."
"But there's nothing to take advantage of."
"In addition to this box of cigarettes, Uncle Jing, you and Uncle An should both like to smoke!"
When he saw a box of unopened cigarettes in Jia Xingguo's hands, An Jinglong was overjoyed.
An Jinglong said to Jia Xingguo.
"Who said this is useless!"
"It's the best thing for me."
After speaking, An Jinglong put the cigarette case into his jacket pocket.
Li Siqiang looked at An Jinglong and said to him.
"Uncle Jing, why don't you smoke one and try it?"
An Jinglong replied.
"Smoke what, the lighter is in the house opposite."
"Before escaping, 'Lao An' forgot to bring it."
"This idiot, you don't need to bring anything, but you forgot to bring fire!"
Seeing An Jinglong constantly whining, Jia Xingguo asked Li Siqiang beside him.
"Dahan, what's the situation over there?"
Li Siqiang touched his head and said with a smirk.
"Don't mention anything, there are two living corpses."
"I almost got in there!"
Jia Xingguo and Li Siqiang looked at An Jinglong.
"Uncle Jing, your harvest over there should be good, right?"
The two asked An Jinglong at the same time.
An Jinglong replied to them proudly.
"It's also two living corpses, but I found a bucket of pure water in the storage room on the first floor."
As soon as they heard that there was drinking water, Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo were instantly overjoyed.
The group hadn't drunk a sip of water since yesterday morning.
You can live for a week without eating, but if you don't drink water, you will reach the limit in three days.
Although the current Guanghua City has not cut off the water, the water has been polluted, and as long as a smart person will not touch or even drink it.
An Jinglong, Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo saw that Wang Meiqi was still resting, and they didn't want to wake her up, so the three of them sat on the ground on the first floor and started talking to each other.
Li Siqiang asked An Jinglong curiously.
"Uncle Jing, I have a question for you."
An Jinglong replied.
"Tell me about it, and see if I know."
"If I don't know, I'll help you call 'Lao An' out."
Li Siqiang continued to ask.
"It's a cataclysm now, and there are not many people left left."
"Why, there is still electricity and water in Guanghua City?"
An Jinglong said to Li Siqiang with a smile.
"That's because Guanghua's energy system is different from other cities."
An Jinglong began to introduce Guanghua City to Li Siqiang.
"Guanghua City is a port city, and Guanghua Port is a key port for global foreign trade."
"The city became the face of the Union."
"Therefore, the federation has invested heavily in the construction of Guanghua City, whether it is the level of science and technology or the use of energy, Guanghua City and the federal government are at the same level."
"With the support of the federal government, Guanghua City has already replaced coal-fired power plants with nuclear power plants ten years ago."
"If it's a nuclear power plant, even if no one is there, there won't be a power outage for a short time!"
"As for the water you are talking about, it's even simpler."
"As long as there is electricity, the water supply system will not be paralyzed."
"The current level of science and technology has allowed many machines to work automatically according to the settings of the computer."
After hearing An Jinglong's detailed explanation, Li Siqiang did not continue to ask.
After a short break, An Jinglong asked Li Siqiang to go upstairs to wake up Wang Meiqi.
"Big man, go upstairs and wake up that girl."
"Let's prepare some food to replenish some nutrients."
Jia Xingguo asked inexplicably.
"Uncle Jing, you're not confused."
"Do you want us to eat this meat raw?"
An Jinglong replied to Jia Xingguo unhurriedly.
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, of course I have a way to make a fire."
"Who told you that you can't make a fire without a lighter."
"Go find an iron basin."
"I'll make sure you can eat cooked meat in a while."
Although Li Siqiang is also inexplicable, he is 100% convinced of An Jinglong's strategy, no matter whether it is 'Uncle An' or 'Uncle Jing' standing in front of them.
Jia Xingguo also looked helpless to find something like that, as long as he could eat enough in his heart, he could do anything.
After a while, Li Siqiang walked down with Wang Meiqi, who was full of sleep.
Wang Meiqi asked An Jinglong in a daze.
"Uncle An, are you going to prepare food?"
As soon as the words fell, Jia Xingguo came to the three of them with an iron basin.
"Here, this is the iron basin you want."
"I'm just waiting to eat!"
Jia Xingguo lay lazily on the ground.
Just now, An Jinglong didn't know where to find a small round iron stool. He washed the iron basin with pure water and placed it on a small round stool.
An Jinglong said to everyone.
"Now the building has been cleared and safe."
"Everyone goes to every room looking for something to ignite."
"For example, books, clothes, bed sheets, bedding and removable wooden furniture."
Jia Xingguo muttered quietly, his voice was extremely weak, for fear that An Jinglong would hear it.
"I didn't even look for these lighters."
An Jinglong replied to Jia Xingguo.
"Get up for me, let you go and find it, where is so much nonsense, just make sure you eat."
"I'm sure I'll be able to light the fire!"
Jia Xingguo thought that he couldn't hear, but who knew that An Jinglong's ears would be so sensitive, and with a face full of embarrassment, he immediately stood up and looked for materials for the fire with Wang Meiqi and Li Siqiang.
(The four of them were finally able to rest and have a full meal, but the loss of the lighter added a little trouble to them.) Fortunately, An Jinglong said that he had a way to light the fire, so what method did he use to light the fire? If you want to know the next story, stay tuned for the next chapter! )
