004 Thirty-one days

It didn't take long for Chen Xu to choose a restaurant at the intersection, located on the first floor, no need to climb stairs, the freezer was large enough, and the best thing was that there was a diesel generator inside.

He is no stranger to diesel generators, before going to college, his parents opened a supermarket in the county, and for a period of time, the county changed the line and often lost power, and the supermarket used diesel generators to generate electricity.

After turning on the electricity, he swept through a dozen or so restaurants in the neighborhood and brought back all the meat until the freezer couldn't fit it.

Although two people will definitely not be able to eat so much meat in half a year, they are prepared.

"By the way, I don't know how Luo Xiyun is."

He was frying a steak and counting the amount of food when he remembered Luo Xiyun, who was supposed to appear a long time ago.

According to the urine nature of this dream, this virtual Luo Xiyun is likely to wake up at home just like in reality. It hasn't been seen until now, and I don't know where it went.

He didn't know where her home was at all, the city was so big, and it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find someone.

"The best thing to do is to make some noise and lure her over."

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he smelled the aroma of the steak frying, he had been hungry for a long time.

The first day was spent in the transportation of supplies.

At night, Chen Xu, who had just taken a shower, sat in the only office of the restaurant, still feeling a little guilty in his heart, and it was too wasteful to use bottled mineral water to take a bath.

"I can't help it, the tap water has stopped."

He couldn't help but sigh, when there was only one person left in this world, it was much more difficult than he imagined to survive.

No takeaways, no running water, everything had to be done yourself.

Forget that, the most unbearable thing is that there is no Internet!

I can't get on the Internet, I can't log in to forums, I can't watch videos, I can't watch Douyin, I can't catch up with novels...... That's pretty damn. He doesn't usually play games, and he doesn't even look at it on his phone, so he can only hold his phone there in a daze.

There is a computer in the office, but it has a password.

"I have to go to the office tomorrow and bring the computer back." Thinking so, he yawned, and gradually fell asleep to the sound of the diesel engine.

The next morning, as soon as Chen Xu woke up, he felt that there was no part of his body that was not sour, and he was very uncomfortable.

"I'll go."

He inhaled and sat up, his muscles were sore and numb, so sour, "It's really terrible." ”

He hadn't done physical work for a long time, and he didn't exercise much, and he moved so many things yesterday that he was overworked, and the sequelae came.

"Is this a dream?" He didn't know how many times he doubted the truth of the story.

It's hard to imagine that everything in this world, and the real pain and soreness in the body, are simulated in dreams.

He took a deep breath and got out of bed.

"Anyway, let's stock up on some supplies."

This suspicion gave him a deep sense of crisis. In case, all this is not a dream, but a real thing, and he is the only one left in the world. In order to survive better, he must prepare in advance.

He endured the pain in his muscles, ate something, and went out with his tools.

In addition to food, there is another thing that is very important, and that is medicine, which is something that can save lives, and other materials can be put back, and the medicine must be collected first.

From this moment on, he felt that he couldn't completely treat all this as a game. Rather, it is to seriously consider how to survive in such an apocalyptic world.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun had risen.

Chen Xu woke up and looked at the poster of the female star whose name he couldn't remember pasted on the ceiling, and two seconds later, he came to his senses, sat up, picked up a pen, and wrote the number "31" on the wall.

The entire wall is filled with numbers, ranging from 1 to 30. That means he's been here for a full month.

He put down the pen, walked to the mirror, picked up the razor, and carefully shaved the stubble that came out.

Then I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and washed my face.

After washing, he left the office.

There was a table next to the hallway with a rice cooker on it, and when the lid was lifted, there was steaming porridge inside.

This is the rice that was put last night, the time is set, it is automatically cooked, and you can eat it when you get up, which is very convenient.

With the fried salty and crispy peanuts, he finished half a pot of porridge, feeling warm and comfortable in his stomach.

After breakfast, he washed the pots and dishes and put things away. He took out the small notebook he had with him, opened it and looked at it, it was full of things to do.

He glanced at it quickly, picked up his pen, and drew circles on two of them.

Diesel stocks are in a hurry.

Look for vegetable seeds.

Then he closed the notebook, put it back in his pocket, took his things, and went out.

Before going out, he converted the power supply into a battery pack and turned off the diesel generator.

To extend the life of the diesel generator, he assembled a battery pack as a backup power source that he used to power when he left.

"The weather was nice."

He walked out of the restaurant and looked at the clear sky, and his mood seemed to become clearer.

On the main road outside the door, there are two rows of cars parked, there are luxury sports cars like Ferrari and Porsche, vans like Wuling, and medium-duty trucks from Isuzu.

He walked into a nearby shop and came out with a trailer full of oil drums. All the shops on this road have been converted into warehouses by him to store various materials.

Chen Xu pushed the trailer, walked to a blue Isuzu truck, and loaded the oil drums into the truck. After moving back and forth a few times, loading most of the carriage, I set off.

He started the car and drove onto the right side of the road.

In the past month, he has cleaned up the surrounding roads, which is not a small project, there are too many cars in the city, and there are some more congested roads, and the cars have completely blocked the roads. It took him a lot of work to clear a road that could be used for a car.

"There are petrol stations everywhere, don't worry about this. It's just that the seeds of vegetables are not easy to find. Let's go to the market first. He was thinking as he drove.

Modern urbanites can't do without vegetables almost every day, but there are probably few who have grown vegetables by themselves. When he was in elementary school, he also helped his grandfather, who lived in the countryside, to harvest rice. I haven't seen what vegetable seeds look like.

I can't stand eating meat and vegetables every day.

This month, he can still eat barely enough vegetables, and he is about to vomit potatoes, tomatoes and bean sprouts.

He never imagined that one day he would be so hungry for leafy greens.

…………

Half an hour later, Chen Xu stopped the car a few hundred meters away from the vegetable market, which had not been cleaned up yet, and the road was full of cars, and it was completely impossible to pass.

He picked up his tool bag, got out of the car and walked over.

In the distance, the smell of rot came from the market, and he took out a gas mask and put it on before daring to go inside.

Ten minutes later, he ran out of it. The smell inside was horrible, even with a gas mask, and there were traces of rotting vegetables and meat everywhere.

He returned to the car, a little depressed, "Do you really want to go to the suburbs to find it?" ”

In the modern big city, there is no more to grow vegetables. They were all shipped from the suburbs. He also found several vegetable bases in the suburbs from the map.

However, the nearest vegetable base, which is more than 30 kilometers away from here, wants to clear a road out, this amount of work, just thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle.

Finally, he took out the notepad he had with him, wrote it down, and went to the vegetable base to look for seeds. Save that for later.

Next, he went to the nearest gas station and filled all the oil barrels.

This iron oil drum has a capacity of about 30 liters. When it is full, it is nearly fifty catties. He took a total of fifty empty buckets, filled them all and carried them to the car, which took more than two hours before and after, and exhausted him enough.

A month ago, he would never have been able to do such a job, and if he moved a few buckets, his waist would be broken. This is all after a month of doing a lot of physical work every day.

When he was done, he removed a chair and folding table from the car, sat down in a shaded position, took out a tablet from the backpack he had brought with him, placed it on the table with a retainer, and opened a movie.

He leaned back in his chair, unscrewed the thermos, and watched the movie leisurely while drinking tea.

After hard physical labor, he would treat himself in this way.

Leisurely time always flies very quickly, and a movie is finished quickly.

Chen Xu looked at the time, eleven forty o'clock, it was lunch time soon.

He dragged gas cylinders, gas stoves, pots and pans from the carriage and all kinds of tools, and started cooking on the side of the road. Every time he went out to work, he would bring all these things and cook outside at noon, so as not to run around and waste time.

Washing rice, cooking rice, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and putting it in the pot......

After a while, the meal was ready, two dishes, one fried beef with potato slices, and one fried bacon with garlic sprouts.

He sat in the middle of the road and finished his lunch.

After a half-hour break, he dragged a folding bed out of the car, placed it in a shady place, put on headphones, listened to soothing pure music, put on an eye mask, and took a nap.

………………

Chen Xu woke up naturally from a sleep, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock. He stretched comfortably.

Since he started work, he has rarely had such a leisurely time. In order to make money, his whole person is like a winding clockwork, even if it is a weekend, it is just to take a breath, and there is no way to really relax.

He packed his things, moved back to the car, turned on the car, and set off again.

All the way to the river, he parked the car, walked to the river with a few fishing rods, found a suitable place, loaded the bait, and threw them into the water one by one.

He then fixed the five rods at intervals. I moved a stool and sat next to it, looked at the fish floating on the river, and waited quietly.
