Meng Soul woke up early in the morning, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, Meng Soul was a little in a daze, today is the Spring Festival, the first Spring Festival in the last days.

I still remember when my parents were alive, every day, the family would prepare the New Year's goods early, Meng Soul would take a hot bath and change into new clothes, and then help his parents prepare ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, kill chickens, fry fish, and croquettes.

The father, who rarely cooks on weekdays, is very rare, puts on an apron, cooks a lot of food, hums a little song in his mouth, and the pedestrians on the street are hurrying home, hoping to get home early to celebrate the New Year with his family.

In the evening, my father would take out a firecracker and say, "Go ahead and put it off," and my mother would tell me to be careful! Lighting the firecrackers, Meng Soul covered his ears and watched the firecrackers "crackle", a family of three sat together, the table was full of Meng Soul's favorite dishes, his father would pour a glass of white wine and drink it slowly, and his mother would also drink a glass of wine, thinking that he would go to see Grandpa Li on the fifth floor tomorrow.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Meng Soul will clean up the table with his mother, then take out the noodles that have already been reconciled and the dumpling filling, and then wrap the dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Father will continue to hold a glass of wine, eat boiled peanuts, take small sips, and when Zhao Benshan's sketch starts, the whole family laughs together.

Thinking of all the comforts of the past, and thinking of the appearance outside the window now, a sadness permeated Meng Soul's heart.

Turned over and got up and woke up the two who were still asleep, "Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and we also have to celebrate." ”

Wang Yangming rubbed his eyes: "It's the end of the world, what else is there to celebrate?" ”

Meng Soul smiled: "At least we are still alive, at least we can still lie here and sleep peacefully, we are at least much luckier than most people in the world, we have not become bloodthirsty monsters, we can still breathe the air with the smell of rust, think about those who are enslaved, and may even be eaten as food, what is not satisfied?" Today is the Spring Festival, the most important festival for the Chinese, why can't we celebrate it! At least make us feel alive! Still alive! ”

Wang Yangming and Li Ming got up together, "Brother Meng is right! We are still living human beings! We can't give up hope! ”

Just do it, Meng Soul looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already 10 o'clock, "Li Ming, you go and boil a pot of hot water on the gas stove with bottled water, let's have a luxury and scrub it with hot water, Wang Yangming, you quickly change your clothes, there are blood stains and sweat on that body." This is also the first bath that the three of them took after the arrival of the apocalypse, and changed into clean clothes refreshed, Meng Soul took out all the inventory, made a large platter of beef, chicken and canned fish, bagged peanuts, melon seeds, and pots also poured a large plate, and boiled a large pot of instant noodles, took out the liquor that was moved back from the small shop, poured a glass of wine, Meng Soul raised his glass: "This cup is for my parents, parents and your spirits in the sky, please bless your son and these two safe!" As he spoke, he slowly spilled the wine on the ground in front of the portrait of his parents, and filled another glass: "This cup is for Wang Yangming's father, he is a great father!" Wang Yangming choked and lay on the ground, kowtowing three times to the distance: "Dad, I'm still alive and well, I hope you have a spirit in the sky, look at me, I will live well and won't disappoint you" After speaking, he lay on the ground and cried silently, Meng Soul patted Wang Yangming's shoulder and poured another glass of wine: "This cup is for God, I hope God bless Li Ming's father is still alive, I hope we can find him!" ”

Li Ming wiped the mixture of tears and snot on his face: "Brother Meng, I won't say anything else!" But thank you! ”

Meng Soul said: "Come and have a drink with the three of us, respect for your parents, respect for hope!" The three of them looked up and killed the liquor, Li Ming obviously hadn't drunk the liquor, the choking snot bubbles came out, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, grabbed the beef and chicken legs on the plate, and the three of them ate it, probably because the depression that had accumulated for a long time in their hearts made the three of them simply take out the remaining bottles after drinking a bottle, drink one cup after another, a few bottles of liquor in their stomachs, and the three of them seemed to be back before the end of the world in a drunken daze, the family sat together, chatted with their parents, wrapped dumplings, watched TV, Zhao Benshan fell down again in the TV, The family laughed......

The severe headache made Meng Soul wake up, opened his eyes and looked around, the wine bottles scattered all over the place, the melon seed skins that were thrown everywhere, the two people who were sleeping crookedly, the cold air made Meng Soul feel a chill, and he picked up a bucket of water and poured it down, only to relieve his dry mouth.

Woke up the two of them, heated up the instant noodles left over from yesterday, threw all the meat that was not eaten into it, and made a hodgepodge, maybe they drank too much wine yesterday, and there was no taste in what they ate in their mouths, and after eating the tasteless breakfast, Meng Soul began to exercise as before, since the last time he faced Min I, Meng Soul found his own shortcomings, and began to practice chopping, chopping and chopping actions one by one, dodging actions, Li Ming and Wang Yangming who watched were a little dumbfounded, and asked to learn from Meng Soul, The whole morning passed slowly in the teaching and practice, in the afternoon, Meng Soul and Li Ming followed Wang Yangming to learn the correct posture of holding a gun, although Wang Yangming said that he had just graduated, but his scores in various majors in the police academy were very high, and the target shooting was also among the best, holding a 9mm police pistol and standing on the windowsill to practice aiming at the zombies downstairs, but there were too few bullets, and he didn't dare to squander it, and when he practiced until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yangming put down the machete and wiped the sweat on his face: "Brother Meng, we need a batch of ammunition, It's not enough to just practice aiming stance, you need to actually shoot, and we need more food and water to replenish it. We don't have enough to eat these things for too long. ”

"Well, the food problem is easy to solve, I haven't completely searched the building where I live, it should be enough to move the things out of each family, the door of a household on the fifth floor is open, and you can turn to the next door from the balcony, and then we start to unload the anti-theft net outside from the fourth floor, and search layer by layer!" took a sip of water: "As for weapons, I want to go to the reserve division of our city to have a look." ”

Saying that, Meng Soul took out the map he had drawn and pointed to the mark of the Reserve Corps on it: "From where we live to the Reserve Corps, there are about 12 kilometers, we need to pass through the bustling downtown neighborhood, there must be a lot of zombies there, and you look downstairs." Saying that, Meng Soul pointed out the window: "There are more zombies on the street, we must leave here, the zombies in the city can't be killed, we must transfer, otherwise let the zombies surround us, we will starve to death if we are not eaten." ”

Wang Yangming looked at the map: "I know that reserve regiment, we have been there for police academy training, there are a lot of light and heavy weapons there, 81 bars, 81 type squad light machine guns, 69 type 40 mm rocket launchers, that is, China's imitation of the Soviet RPG, commonly known as 40 fire, and a small number of 92 wheeled infantry combat vehicles, but how can we get so far away?" ”

Li Ming stood aside as stupidly as listening to the book of heaven

Meng Soul thought for a while: "The sound of driving is too loud to attract zombies, we ride bicycles over, there are a lot of cars in the carport on the first floor, go back to fight a few back, maintain it, don't drop the chain halfway, this is a fatal thing, during this time, the three of us need special training in terms of cooperation, we must make your physical strength qualified, you must cooperate well in the search process, and you need weapons and good shoes, there is an outdoor goods store in the alley outside, let's go there first to collect jackets, boots, and then search the whole building, Eat today, have a good rest, and leave early tomorrow morning! ”
