Chapter 44: Start Again
Zhang Xiangdong and others quickly drove the convoy to the entrance of the supermarket.
The crowd divided by two and loaded all the food and water into the car.
But in the end, there were 10 boxes of mineral water left, but there was nowhere to put them.
"What about all this mineral water? There was really no room in the car, and a dozen of us had a lot of luggage. Although there is still room for Transit and the sea lion, if they are installed, there will be no place for people to rest. Or don't you? ”
Zhang Xiangdong couldn't help but look at the remaining 10 boxes of mineral water on the ground with some embarrassment, and asked Chen Ran.
However, at this time, Chen Ran shook his head very resolutely and said, "No! ”
He continued: "It is very difficult to find drinking water that can be drunk directly in the last days, and who knows if we have soaked zombies in the water we found before!" In such water, the virus content will be high enough to be deadly! ”
"Therefore, even ordinary lake water and river water cannot be drunk casually. The zombie virus can't be killed even by a high temperature of 100 degrees, so even if it is boiled, the virus will not be eliminated. It is necessary to dilute the virus in the water with spiritual fluid before boiling it. Or use a special pressure cooker to bring the water to a boil of at least 160 degrees before drinking. ”
"Spiritual fluid is very precious, needless to say, it can't be wasted. And the special pressure cooker, we don't have a way to do it at the moment. So be sure to bring this water with you! ”
At this time, Chen Shusheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Isn't an ordinary pressure cooker good?" ”
Everyone knows about pressure cookers, but most people don't know what the boiling point of the water in the pressure cooker is.
So Chen Ran popularized science and said: "The maximum pressure inside an ordinary household pressure cooker is about two atmospheres. So the boiling point of water is about 120 degrees. It's not enough! ”
Hearing such an explanation, Zhang Xiangdong suddenly slapped his thigh, and because of the excessive force, he even shook the meat, and suddenly shouted: "Oops, it's not good!" We've just added water directly to the tank! Wouldn't this water also have viruses? ”
And Chen Ran couldn't help but smile at this time and replied: "Don't worry! I've just seen it. The water we add is the water that was in the water tower before this service area. So it can be used. Because no zombie can climb so high, he deliberately jumped into the water tower. ”
"And if it's tap water, it's really not usable. But I guess the tap water should have stopped a long time ago, and you can't add it if you want to. ”
Zhang Xiangdong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he immediately asked: "That means that if you encounter the water from the water tower in the future, you can still use it?" Is there any other water that can be used, what about the water from the well? ”
"The water in the well, as long as it has not been soaked in zombies, can of course be used. This is followed by rain. Then there is the mountain spring water left on the mountain. ”
Chen Ran explained: "The mountains are remote, and there are few zombies. Even if there is, after dilution along the way, it can barely be used. And it's best to find such a water source. ”
"That's not going to work!" Zhang Xiangdong couldn't help but exclaim: "This is too unsafe." In case there are a lot of zombies in the water source of the mountain. We don't know, with this water, it will be bad! ”
At this time, Chen Shuyuan couldn't help asking: "Xiao Ran! Is there any way to tell if there is a virus in the water? ”
"Yes!" Chen Ran nodded: "It's just with a spirit bag." Put the fresh sac into the water to be tested, if the outer wall of the sac changes color quickly, it may even start to rot. That means there is a virus in the water. If it doesn't change, then the water can be used! ”
"That's okay, then when we get water in the future, let's test it with the spirit bag first. It's safer this way. Zhang Xiangdong wanted to cry a little and said without tears: "Hi! I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to get some water in the last days! ”
And Chen Ran said: "That's why we have to bring these mineral waters." In the future, we will not enter the high-speed service area if we can. There are still few zombies in this service area, and if we happen to encounter a lot of zombies, we may be in big trouble. ”
Everyone immediately nodded in understanding.
Then Chen Ran was ruthless, opened the compartment of the Mercedes-Benz truck, jumped into the car, and threw two boxes of cigarettes in a row. Filled up the mineral water.
These two boxes of cigarettes are also very expensive to Chen Ran, and he can't help but feel pain in his heart.
However, for people like Chen Ran, who have been on the verge of subsistence for the past 18 years, luxury goods such as cigarettes are still not as important as food and drinking water.
It is not as important as the lives of others.
In the previous life, although Chen Ran was ruthless, he was still a person who valued affection.
It's just that now, there is someone who is more distressed than Chen Ran, and that is Xiao Tengcan.
He's an old smoker.
But just after listening to Chen Ran's explanation, he already knew the importance of this mineral water.
And although the car was driven for him, it was not his.
If it weren't for Chen Ran's lock, he wouldn't have been able to move the car at all.
Chen Ran lost his own things, what did he have to say!
What's more, this water is still reserved for those of them who have just joined, otherwise Chen Ran's original water would have been enough for their own use.
So Xiao Tengcan only has gratitude now.
At this point, the preparations for the resumption of the team have been made.
But a new question has emerged, that is, how does Chu Xinxin arrange it?
There are already four people living in the RV, and even if you sleep on the floor, it is impossible for a girl to live with a man casually.
Not to mention the Ford Transit. Three people can only live just right.
Mercedes-Benz trucks were given to Xiao Tengcan's family.
In the end, the Jinbei big lion only has two seats, and although there is a mattress in the back, it can't always lie down when driving, let alone squat.
Not having a seat is dangerous in any case, it is easy to bump into it, and it is easy to get motion sickness.
And Chu Xinxin herself can't drive.
So how to arrange it has become a problem.
"Let's take my car." In the end, Qin Mengyao thought about it and decided: "Let Xiaoxue take your RV during the day, and come back to sleep with us at night." ”
Qin Mengyao's arrangement is actually selfish.
Because she knew that there was no safer place than staying by Chen Ran's side now.
Besides, the safety of the RV is also high, and if you really encounter a large number of zombie attacks, my sister will be safer.
And with Wu Qingfang here, Qin Mengxue will not suffer, she is quite relieved.
As for Qin Mengxue, she is not afraid of life.
When I heard that I could stay in the RV, I immediately cheered.
And Chen Ran finally nodded, which was considered to be agreed. They can really fit so many people in their RV.
Qin Mengxue, a little girl, is lively and cheerful, with her accompanying her mother, they will not be so boring in the car.
So the convoy set off again.
The RV drove at the front, followed by the Jinbei Great Lion, then the Ford Transit, and finally the Mercedes-Benz truck......
