Chapter 207: Not good
Lao Zhang was short, climbed over the fence, came to the side of the big house with a smoke, squatted under the windowsill and listened for a long time, and could vaguely hear the whispered conversation inside, and wanted to check the situation inside through the window, but the thick frost blocked the window tightly.
After changing several positions, I finally found a gap in a window that could barely see the situation in the house, and I was a little surprised when I put it up and looked at it.
Although the perspective of this gap is very limited, it does not affect his judgment based on the scene he sees.
As far as the eye could see, there were some old people who looked to be in their fifties and sixties, both men and women, and some of them looked about the same age as him, or even older......
He ran out of the courtyard with his body and came to Balgan's side, "It's all old people inside, I don't know what the situation is, why don't you knock on the door directly, even if there is an emergency, we should be able to deal with it." β
The two of them sorted out their thoughts, and couldn't think of any better way, so they just did what Lao Zhang said.
When they pushed open the fence gate, the two of them deliberately made a loud noise, trying to attract the attention of the people inside.
"There's movement outside!"
"Isn't it the damn wolves again?"
"Hawkins, get your guns ready!"
β¦β¦
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, it's two people, one of them is a little old man, strange, why do they all look like Asians?"
"Babak, don't talk like you're not an old man."
The house was still in a mess, and Balgan had come to the door and knocked a few times.
"Knock knock."
Then Balgan shouted, "Please open the door, we have no ill will." β
"What to do? Can't it be opened? β
"Afraid of what? There are so many of us, and there are weapons, open! β
"What if it's a super human?"
"It's really an old fool, if it's really a super human, how can you knock on the door so politely, wouldn't it be good to just break in."
"Open the door, open the door!"
A burly old man, hairless and bald, but with a very thick white beard, a foot long, tied together with a rope, pulled three deadbolts, and he opened the door.
Look at the harpoons sticking out of it, and the very primitive gunpowder shotguns and sticks...... Let Balgan and Lao Zhang be startled, and said that these old people are quite fierce......
"Calm, calm, we have no ill will." Balgan hurriedly raised his hand and said.
The old man with the long beard had a grim expression, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Did Akins send you? There are no more young people here! Before I get angry, get out of here! β
"Akins? No, no, no, my name is Balgan and I am the captain of an ocean-going fishing vessel, and this is Zhang, my elder. Ballegan introduced himself and Lao Zhang.
The old man with the long beard was about to continue to ask, and from behind him squeezed out an old man about the same size as Lao Zhang, in his 60s, although he was thin and small, but his spirit was not bad, "Hey, Balgan, you are you!" β
Ballegan saw clearly the man who spoke, "Hawkins! Uncle Hawkins! β
Knowing each other, the old people who were originally cold also turned relaxed, and they all smiled, it seems that the coldness just now was deliberately pretended.
After being let into the house, I could see the inside thoroughly.
The space is huge, as it looks from the outside, with rows of rolls of bedding along the walls, and an empty oil drum every few meters in the middle, with firewood burning in it, keeping the room warm.
Lao Zhang probably glanced at everyone, and there was a spectrum in his heart, there were 17 old men and 9 old ladies.
At a few simple wooden tables, there were several old ladies sitting around, playing chess and big cards, and they were not disturbed by the two people who suddenly visited......
After entering the house, Ballegan saw several familiar faces, Uncle Lundy and Grandma Robin......
After greeting for a while, the old people went to be busy, doing manual work, continuing to have fun, and so on.
After chatting, I realized what was going on.
Although the people here are simple, but the cold environment also makes people iron-clad, it is not an exaggeration to say that the folk customs are more strong, when the end of the world hits, the survivors resist for the first time, and it almost didn't take much effort to clean up all the zombies, so that the zombies here have no chance to evolve, but the mutated creatures have become a big problem, the polar bear is one of the largest animals on land, and it is even more huge after the mutation, fierce, as well as wolves, snow foxes, etc., and slowly the supernatural ones appeared, known as super humans, Originally, there were two Abilities on Skosbyson's side, both of whom were quite strong, guarding more than a hundred survivors here.
Knowing that a group of people came from the capital, the status quo was broken. It is said that the capital will become the largest base for survivors, where the survivors of the whole of Greenland will gather, where they can live a stable life together, and safety can be guaranteed, but they only accept people under the age of 50, because the old people do not contribute much, and can only consume supplies for no reason......
At first, such a policy made the young people very angry, but when life became more and more difficult, taking care of these old people did become a burden for them, and many young people could not support it, so they went to the capital, one, two, ten, and finally all the young people left, including two Strangers.
The old people who stayed behind were optimistic, they organized themselves, and moved to the big house where they live now, their idea is that as long as people are not dead, they should enjoy life, play chess, big cards, chat, and drink with the old neighbors every day, and live very happily.
Those fifty or sixty-year-old men, although they are not as physical and energetic as young people, but they must not be underestimated, they have lived on the island for most of their lives, and they are proficient in various survival skills.
It was Baroque who opened the door to them, who had been burly since childhood, who was a spearman of the whaling team when he was young, who stood on the side of the ship and threw spears.
Hawkins, who first greeted Balgan, was a well-known hunter on the island, as long as he targeted the prey, he would never escape, and an old gunpowder shotgun was used by him superbly, and later retired and began to enjoy life.
In short, although these people are old, they all have a skill, support each other, and live for a long time in this cruel environment in the last days.
BalkΓ‘n didn't think about the situation in the capital for the time being, and now the city of Skosbizon was completely empty, so it was just right for them to settle in!
He expressed his thoughts to the old people, and the old people were very happy, they were not afraid of those mutated creatures that could appear at any time, they were afraid of loneliness, and they were very happy to be able to revitalize the city of Skosbysun.
Soon, the city of Skosbizon was full of people again, and began to build a large number of buildings, demolishing those remaining houses, and using materials to start building walls on the perimeter, since it was already known that mutant creatures were the biggest enemy, the precautions must be in place, this small city is not big, similar to the lucky town, it is easy to build a wall, although a lot of materials were obtained from the process of demolishing the old houses, but the most used are still ice cubes, huge ice cubes, except for Ballegan can be directly formed by using abilities, The brothers also dug a lot from the surrounding streams, seashores and other places, and in a few days the wall was built from one meter thick to nearly three meters high.
There are many advantages to using ice as the main material, easy access is one thing, and the combination is also very simple, pour a little water, go up the yard, and instantly freeze together.
After eating all the food in the fish factory, everyone began to fish, and after observation, after the end of the world, the seals that often haunt the seashore have changed a little, but they have not changed, and their size has skyrocketed by nearly two times.
Meat, fat, skin, all useful things, but these guys are too clever to flee into the sea before anyone gets close. Only Nowitzki and Bai Qi, so that people who can attack from afar, can successfully hunt and kill, and kill a few at a time, enough for everyone to eat two meals before stopping.
The fish caught by the Ballegan people was the most conventional food, and the brothers of the Alpine Society were a little unaccustomed to it at first, but they quickly integrated into their current state of life.
Bai Qi made use of the essence of Chinese cuisine here, directly put large pieces of meat into the meat, put them on the shelf and roasted, and found some seasonings to sprinkle on them, which surprised everyone.
The children had become accustomed to running to and frolicking in the town every day, and on this day Wickjeff ran to the house of Mrs. Cubali, who had been here for the second time, and had given him a pair of warm leather gloves the last time she had passed.
After all of them moved to the city, all the old people returned to their homes, and the big houses were used for the women.
Cubali's son and daughter-in-law took their 10-year-old grandson to the capital, so now she lives alone in her own home every day, she is a little withdrawn, and she doesn't move around often with other old people, and when she sees her, she simply says hello and doesn't say anything else.
When she saw Vikdev, she felt that she saw her little grandson, and liked it very much, and gave him the gloves she had sewn for his grandson, and Vikdev promised her to visit her often.
No, he's here today, and he's still holding a piece of roast meat that has just been distributed to his hands, which is a snack that only children with long bodies can get.
knocked on Cubali's door, "Grandma, this is the barbecue I got today, it's fast, it's still hot, you can taste it." β
Cuba looked at Vikdev with a smile, "You guys are long, you should eat more, grandma just ate and is not hungry." β
"No, you taste it, it's fragrant, it's baked by the uncle from the East, come, let's eat together." As he spoke, he took a big bite and handed it over.
Cuba couldn't bear to refuse again, and took a small bite, "Well, it's delicious, but grandma is old, and it's not easy to digest the meat if she eats too much, just taste it, you eat it quickly, don't be cold." β
"Alright then, grandma, what are you sewing again today?"
"Grandma is sewing a hat today, and I'll put it on for you when it's ready, it's very warm."
"Thank you, grandma, you're so nice."
β¦β¦
After more than an hour, it's time for the children to go to class, which is formulated by Lao Zhang, the content of the class is simple mathematics, it just so happens that Gao Shan will have a brother who has been a substitute teacher in primary school, a little level, and the task of class is handed over to him, no matter when, education can not stop.
After Wickdev left, Cubali continued to sew her hat, felt a little itchy in her throat, wanted to cough, stood up and was about to go to the kitchen to pour a glass of water to drink, just after taking two steps, she felt that something was not right, her head hurt badly, and her whole body seemed to be cracking, she tripped in the corner of the table, fell to the ground, and kept convulsing.
Her consciousness was gradually dissipating, she wanted to call for help, but she couldn't scream, and gradually, completely stopped moving.
After a few minutes, Cubari suddenly stood up straight from the ground, her mouth open with a dark green liquid dripping from it, and her eyes completely red......
She mutated.
Step by step, I walked back and forth in the room, and when I hit the wall, I changed directions, there was no pain, and I didn't stop......
There were people walking back and forth outside this inconspicuous hut, each room was carefully sealed to keep warm, and the windows were so small that they were covered with frost, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
