Chapter 7: Scum

"How did that alien appear?" Zheng Rui asked.

"That's it...... We were running out of drinking water in the basement, and there were a dozen buckets of drinking water in a basement in Building 2, and my boyfriend borrowed water from them, and the result of the discussion was to go to one person every day to pick up all of our water for a day. The young lady replied with some nonchalance, "This is still not enough, and the food is not enough...... Xiao Li went out to the supermarket in the commercial area to find food and water, and later ...... Never came back. And then the alien came......"

She paused and wiped away a handful of tears again, and her voice was choked: "The people in the basement of Building 1 came back from outside and said that there was an alien and told us all to close the door," because it was a security dormitory, and the basement of the new community had a door inside that could be locked, "We heard something coming inside, and then left again, so we thought that the alien had left." ”

In fact, the alien didn't go, and this alien should be the one that bit Zheng Rui's wrist. Zheng Rui comforted her: "It didn't go far, but it's already dead." ”

"The next day, today, it's time for me to fetch water. I didn't dare to go out because the alien was still here, but they all said the alien was gone. The young lady wiped her tears again, "I'll come out and go to Building 2 to fetch water, and then when I go back, ...... Just see the alien...... I ran to the basement, and the aliens chased after me...... I've run to the door...... But my boyfriend ...... He closed the door ......"

After that, she couldn't cry anymore, and although she was still talking, Zheng Rui could barely hear a single word.

But I also want to know what a terrible memory it is.

Zheng Rui knew that she was not on the spot, and she couldn't restore the complete truth just by listening to what one of the parties said. She can understand how people reflexively close the door to protect themselves when they are frightened, even if it leads to shutting others out and facing danger alone. But what she couldn't understand was that the people in the basement didn't even make the slightest move, just hiding inside and waiting for the people outside to be eaten by the alien - if she hadn't seen it, this young lady would definitely have died.

It's just scum behavior.

Aside from the fact that the young lady's boyfriend and the rest of their basement are scum, there is other useful information in her words. The most important point is that there is an underground supermarket on the other side of the business district. Zheng Rui knew about the underground supermarket, but because the commercial area was four or five kilometers away, she still chose to shop online during the summer vacation, and she only went to it when she was shopping for groceries with her grandmother. It was the only large supermarket in the area, and if the food was distributed according to the plan, hundreds of people could live in it for a year.

But under the panic, it is not necessarily necessary for everyone to rob, and in this case, it is estimated that no one will be able to easily obey the arrangement.

Xiao Li, the security guard in their community, if he really didn't come back instead of not wanting to come back, it may be related to the fight in the commercial area over supermarket goods. But Zheng Rui couldn't understand that the people living in such a small satellite city far from the city center were mainly ordinary people who worked in state-owned enterprises. These ordinary working-class people are civilized people who say that they sound good, and they are the scum of war if they say they don't sound good. A group of war scum who have been educated since childhood, how can they do it in the face of an underground supermarket that is completely enough for everyone to eat?

Zheng Rui was thinking about it, when the young lady suddenly spoke again: "You must not let them see your bloody ......"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Rui asked, "Is there anyone in your community who is injured?" ”

"They often fight when they fight for instant noodles, and it's too normal for them to get injured." The young lady said a word, then raised her head and said to her quite seriously, "You have to close the door here, if they come out and see that I am not there, they should suspect you." ”

Listening to her tone, she was completely on guard against her boyfriend as if she were an enemy with everyone else. Zheng Rui realized that the people in the opposite neighborhood might not be as normal as she imagined, or that four or five days of fear had made them mentally abnormal.

"If the people in your community are hungry, I can give them something to eat for a few more days." Zheng Rui said, "I don't see that there are many people left in your community, and I'm the only one in this area." We can leave here together and go to the business district, where the underground supermarket usually supplies six or seven residential areas, at least enough for a few hundred people. ”

Hearing her words, the young lady couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head: "You think too simply. If they knew that your blood could be used to heal wounds, they would have to control you first and use it for bloodletting—girl, haven't you read any post-apocalyptic novels on the Internet? ”

"The Last Days...... Isn't it "Resident Evil" or something, I've played this series, but I haven't read the novel. Zheng Rui replied and said, "But those literary and artistic works are still different from reality." In the biggest aspect, these ordinary people are making small fights, and they are really incomparable with the power of the state apparatus. Therefore, it is useless to fight and grab supplies, and when the time comes, the army will take over, and it will still have to be honestly rationed. ”

Zheng Rui felt that what she said was very reasonable, but the young lady was only silent for a moment, but then said, "I don't know...... But they feel that the government is no longer working. Even if you're right, those people won't listen to you, and they should fight or fight, rob or rob until the army really arrives here. ”

The government doesn't work?

If everyone continues to grab it like this, social order will indeed not be maintained.

Zheng Rui glanced at her hiking bag, which contained a record of her experiments—something that only makes sense in a modern society with an orderly and social division of labor. If the future period of time will inevitably become everyone competing for resources, then wouldn't it be a pure waste of time for her to stay here these days?

Forget it, time is wasted, and it's a lot of fun to try out the NDE.

Wait, I digressed just now.

Returning to the original question, Zheng Rui asked, "What does this robbing of resources have to do with my blood?" ”

"Your blood can heal, it's your ability, right?" The young lady said, "To be honest, the person who gets this ability had better hide, otherwise he will definitely be controlled and used to produce potions." ”

Zheng Rui nodded. If these ordinary people spontaneously form a situation similar to armed secession, it will definitely be very dangerous to be immortal. After all, life-saving blood is a rare resource no matter what, and if there is no state apparatus to maintain basic laws, social morality will also be lost. When the initial rules were not yet formed, the so-called ethics and morality could not withstand the strong desire for special potions.

Really, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
