Chapter Fifty-Nine: Ten Years is a Tree Man
"I remember that at that time, the door of the mall was still open, the trees were still normal, the food was still sufficient, and everyone was living a decent life......
"Pick the point." Although I like to listen to stories, this Zhu Luorong may not have spoken for too long, and he can't stop talking at all.
"Yes, Master." Zhu Luorong organized the language for a while, and then said: "Roughly, you are here, you are leaving, I am waiting for you, and you are here again." ”
Well?
That's too much difference, isn't it?
And don't look at me with a look of waiting to be praised by me, hey!
"Well, I think you can still enrich it a little, uh, this intermediate process." I tried to get him to summarize the whole thing.
But then I found out that I had overestimated the language level of this little Zhengtai, and he only said to me with tears in his eyes that the concubine could not do it.
In fact, he can't be blamed, after all, there is no nine-year compulsory education in this mall.
As a teacher, you should be a teacher, and under my tireless teaching, Zhu Luorong finally finished telling me the story.
And I also unlocked some of Han Sihuai's memories about this place.
Combined with memories and Zhu Luorong's description, all this that happened in the shopping mall really has a huge relationship with Han Sihuai.
On the day of the Resident Evil outbreak, although the van overturned, the driver Lao Wang, the taxi passengers Lewis and Han Sihuai fled back to Zhende Town.
and successfully hid in this Qianda shopping mall.
At first, there was plenty of food, and a well was dug to get water, and the citizens who hid inside were safe and sound, and a rudimentary order was established.
Young men form a zombie defense team and begin to purge zombies from shopping malls and high-rise buildings.
And Han Sihuai was agile and became the team leader.
It was also at this time that Zhu Luorong, a five-year-old boy, longed to become a member of the defense team like him.
Han Sihuai couldn't help his soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally accepted him as his 'chief disciple'.
A year later, there was not much food left in the buildings and shopping malls, and a rationing system was introduced.
The atmosphere gradually became tense, and at this time, the humans in the mall had secretly formed two factions, one advocated going out, and the other advocating staying.
The fuse that changed all this was not a tide of corpses, but a gang of robbers.
In the last days, the most terrible is often human beings.
The robbers robbed the mall of all the food, as well as the young men.
It is also commonly known as catching strong men.
Women, old people, children, just a burden to them.
And these robbers did not kill these burdens, but they did something more unconscionable.
After shooting and killing several of the protesters, the robbers held the other young men at gunpoint and forced them to lock all the entrances and exits of the building with chains.
In the name of beauty, you are also stained with human life, and you are just like us.
The reason why those tree people hate Han Sihuai so much is because the main entrance of the mall was locked by him.
And Zhu Luorong said that Han Sihuai promised to come back to save him, because when Han Sihuai locked the door, he said to Zhu Luorong who was standing in the door: "I will come back to save you." ”
Just after saying this, Han Sihuai was knocked unconscious, and the memory I unlocked ended here.
After that, it was Zhu Luorong who told me what happened.
After the robbers left, the whole mall began to go into chaos.
Some began to hide in high-rise buildings, blocking the corridors and cutting off the road from the mall.
After all, the robbers only stole the food from the mall, so they didn't have time to open the locked doors of the building above the mall, and there was probably still food in the building.
And the people trapped in the mall are miserable, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground.
A few days later, a typhoon swept the town of Jane Tak and flooded the mall.
The underground garage was completely flooded, and the first floor was also soaked in water to varying degrees.
In the midst of everyone's despair, Lewis with Mediterranean hair stepped forward, and he was not caught.
He claimed to be a botanist of the Nebula Order, and before the end of the world, he had originally come to Zhendezhen with the products he had developed to hold a seminar.
His products may be able to keep the people here alive.
He then elaborated on the product he had developed, a drug that could be integrated and assimilated by humans and plants.
All anyone needs to do is merge with the large mangrove tree in the mall's atrium to draw nutrients from the sun and the earth.
At first, everyone was against it, but as time passed, the smell of hunger and death began to spread.
First several old people died, then young children.
There is a way to rush to the doctor when you are sick, and slowly, most people agree to this plan.
Lewis then poured the potion into the mall's atrium, the large mangrove trees used for landscaping in the flower beds.
But nothing changed in the mangroves after the injections.
People thought of Lewis as a liar, and because of the madness brought on by fear, Lewis was directly executed on the spot by the angry people.
However, at night, the mangrove tree, which had been motionless, suddenly grew and the drooping aerial roots began to wander around like poisonous snakes.
It wasn't until it strung up the first person, who let out a scream, that the sleeping people were woken up.
They screamed and ran in all directions, but they couldn't dodge the nimble air roots.
And Zhu Luorong's parents were very witty to hide him in the range hood pipe, and he survived.
After a night, the sun was shining in Zhende, and the mangroves were slowly subsiding.
Zhu Luorong, who climbed out of the smoke pipe, began to survive alone for nine years, until I appeared.
"How did you survive all these years on your own?" It's hard for me to imagine how a five-year-old human juvenile could cope with this on its own.
"Mangroves are only active when it's dark, and during the day as long as they don't alarm the treemen, and they're afraid of fumes." Zhu Luorong slowly removed the hood on his head, revealing his face that was not what he should be at his age, rough and covered with scars, "This is all practiced by me." ”
"What about the food? Wasn't the mall ransacked? I continued.
"After the typhoon that year, I found fish in the water, maybe from the sewers, and mangrove fruits, which I could also eat." Zhu Luorong said as he took out another book from home.
"The most important thing for me to survive is because of you, Master, who taught me everything in this book." He handed me the book in his hand.
"Bei Ye's Autobiography - Wilderness Survival", this is a book written by Bei Ye, the most famous wilderness survival expert before the end of the world.
The book Zhu Luorong handed me had been turned over to tatters, and some places on it were marked with pinyin in pencil.
"Well, good boy." I touched his head, "Now I'm here, although it's late, you go and pack up, let's go." ”
I don't want to stay in this place for a moment.
What's more, the grumpy old gorilla Winston is still waiting for my baking soda and soy sauce to make cold jellyfish head.
