The cart stopped in the plaza in front of the hospital, and Ray and Rose discussed it and decided to rest here.

"Lei Lao, this was originally a parking lot, and our big relocation car occupies several parking spaces. If you go back a hundred years, you can't ask for many people's eyes. ”

"Go back a hundred years, and our car is a monster. When I first started to see it, I didn't feel comfortable, and now it's our mobile home. ”

"Old man, car No. 2 didn't say when it would arrive, let's go down and see the hospital a hundred years ago. Or a central hospital? ”

"Let's take a look, there is no absolutely stable journey now, time is not controlled, I guess there is nothing to see here, Joan, let's both go down and take a walk."

"Lei Lao, I'll accompany you down, Rose, you stay here to command."

"Jie, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's not that vulnerable."

It's just an ordinary hospital, and it's not much different from the afterlife. It's just that the subjects here are a little more complicated, from human skin to internal organs, bones to blood, there are departments for repair and healing. Unlike modern hospitals, the main thing is all kinds of organ transplants, which are almost a single department. If a small fever is uncomfortable, a home robot will be able to do it. Those who go to the hospital are repairing the defects, not diagnosing the disease.

"Joan, this is a typical representative of the hospital more than a hundred years ago, and it should be the inpatient department behind it."

"Yes, at night, the neon lights here are lit up and you can probably see the whole city. Here is the hope of life, the end of disease. ”

"Jie, when you came back just now, your faces weren't very good, and you were scared by what you saw, right?"

"Lei, I'm not scared yet, but I'm uncomfortable, a city is not destroyed by war, then you can always hear the echo of history, but a small virus that needs to be seen in a high-powered microscope, unwilling!"

"Yes, it's unwilling to think about it, war chooses the wise, and the fools are eliminated, and victory or defeat depends on wisdom. There is no choice to cull the virus, and it has always been a complete victory for human beings, but later it has changed, and human beings are exhausted in the attack of viruses and germs again and again, but they are becoming more and more helpless. In the end, it can only be a strong man who breaks his wrist and abandons his flesh and blood, allows the virus and germs to act recklessly, and finally dies with the host. Joan sighed.

"Alas, you can't see it, you can't catch it, you don't know when it invaded your territory, this is a fatal mistake of mankind and the sorrow of history."

"It's too negative, if there is no strong man breaking his wrist, without the death of such a city, science and technology will not leap forward, and there will be no peak and glory. You said that this was the place with the fewest corpses, so there were probably not many people who got sick at that time, right? Ray said more relaxedly.

"Old man, compared to the kind of epidemic that can't be cured at all, it's nothing sick. Clean, some of the equipment here can still work, the time is urgent, why don't you ask everyone to come and check your body. ”

"I think, voluntarily, but Uncle Mud needs to be checked, or there are two children." Jie thought about it.

"yes, mud people are definitely unhealthy, two children... Alas! ”

The mud man doesn't look bad now, it's just that he eats more than others at every meal, and if this is considered a disease, it is not light. The two children don't see anything abnormal, they are used to starving, they are used to eating everything, they don't have infancy, they go away now and they don't have childhood. Even like adults, they are under a lot of pressure. Only the laughter is innocent, and the size shows that they are still children. Joan's sigh was too much.

In the evening, the antique car No. 2 returned, and a dozen metal boxes were placed in the open space reflecting the shine of the setting sun.

"Rose, Ray, look at the fluorescent note on the box, we can't see anything over there." Shui said impatiently.

"Young man, it's not a matter of the spectrum, it's that the surface of the metal is oxidized, the fluorescence is gone, and you can't see where you put it."

"Lei Lao is right, there are four robots now, see if they can be analyzed by networking?"

"Master Wei, I'll go back to the kitchen to stir-fry, Yueyue will go to the master of ceremonies, we will complicate things."

"Hahaha, Huihui, you are so cute, it's not your fault and Yueyue, it's that we made things simple. Water, don't worry, open the metal box without explanation, no matter what's inside, I hope we can still eat it. ”

"It's a few of us who are stupid, how can we forget that this city has been blocked strictly, otherwise we will see what is inside in the same place, don't be something that can't be eaten, otherwise it will be pulled back in vain." As he spoke, he looked for tools to break open the metal box.

"Trouble!" After the mud uncle said two words slowly, he walked over and broke off one corner of the metal box with both hands, revealing that it was also a metal colorful cylindrical box inside.

"Good boy, Uncle Mud, you have so much strength. Hey, don't break other boxes, oxidation is also a layer of protection. ”

"If you don't have knowledge, take it out, if you can eat it, divide it evenly, eat it early, and save it from spoiling. This is military canned food. ”

"Oh my God, this city was still functioning thirty years ago. This batch of cans was the last packaging from thirty years ago and has a shelf life of fifty years. These belong to war materials, water, and the three of you have made meritorious contributions. ”

"Thirty years ago, it was still in operation, fully automated, and it was stopped until the raw materials were exhausted. God, what a developed city it is. It was ruined by a small virus. ”

"Hey, it tastes good, what kind of meat, it's the first time I've eaten pure meat when it's so big. It doesn't count in the ring high, and no one is allowed to mention it. ”

"One box per person, and the rest is divided equally."

"Ray, this is our collective rule of law. Uncle Mud, you're no exception. ”

"Should!"

Smelling the smell of meat, eight puppies also gathered around and wagged their tails at everyone.

"For your sake, let's satisfy our cravings." Ray gave a little bit of his canned meat to the puppy, and the rest of the people gave the dog a few mouthfuls of the rest of the mouth. The puppy barked, but he couldn't be happy.

"Lei, you don't see more in that factory, there is always a channel for the supply of raw materials, let's look for it, maybe we can get more supplements in this city."

"We have time, we have energy, and we are afraid that the city will not give us time." Lei said indifferently.

Everyone was silent, and everything here was changing rapidly in just a few days. The facades of the high-rise buildings on the main road have faded and become dull. Some places are mottled and the city is aging.

One night passed, and both the military vehicle and the No. 1 antique car returned. The harvest is not very big, but it is all worth the trip. Auto parts, all kinds of tools, farm tools... In the end, the electricity, the bell, and the tree also brought back the ring to the daughter-in-law. What the three of them saw in the gold jewelry store in the entertainment center was not a grade at all. It's also a little romance on the journey.

"Hey, there are still cookies from decades ago, can you eat them?"

"Ray, there is still food packaged in metal drums, it was found in a factory, and the production on it was decades ago as scheduled, and the city was already blocked at that time. Was there a typographical error or something we didn't think of. The tree said confusedly.

"Yes, we didn't have a score in our hearts, so we brought some back, and no amount of car could fit it. Let's analyze and analyze together. The factory is not far from here, and we can go back and get some more if we can. Zhong also said incomprehensibly.

"Zhong, the canned food you ate was produced thirty years ago, and when we went, it was full of corpses, and the living ones were rats, cockroaches, ants, and flying insects. Later, we analyzed and concluded that the fully automatic assembly line can work without stopping as long as there is a supply of raw materials. It's not strange to have these decades-old stuff, as long as it doesn't mutate and can be eaten. Shui said excitedly.

"Yes, the city is more prosperous than we can see. It's still running after it's shielded, and if the solar energy isn't depleted, it won't really die. It's a pity that this kind of operation was broken by the big crack in the ring height, and the self-repair of the ring was accelerated by the decline of the ring height. It is even more sad and pitiful because of the arrival of our uninvited guests! ”

"Pack your bags again, let's get out of here as soon as possible and return the city to its original rhythm." Rose said solemnly.

"We don't have a problem, but fortunately we didn't go very far, and it didn't take much time to turn back. Get out of town tomorrow! ”

It was a busy night, and no one slept. If you want to take all the things you bring back, you have to give up some of the original ones. The weapons on the military vehicle cannot be lost, that is the guarantee of safety; You can't throw away what you eat, that's the guarantee of life; All kinds of tools can not be dispensed without, which is necessary for migration.

"Water, leave all those corn and sorghum behind, although those are also life-sustaining things, but they take up too much space."

"yes, compared to these canned food, biscuits, those grains are a bit of a hassle."

"I can't bear it. That's the fruit of a hundred years. ”

"Water, is there less to experience a hundred years in a no-man's land?"

"Cities, villages, factories, hospitals, schools... History is laid out here, sad or happy. Life is here with a cry of death, or repentance or warning. ”

"Well, this is a gift from those of us who have not been invited, so that it will be reduced to dust with the city in many years, and its original destiny will be completed."

Everyone's hearts are conflicted, they are reluctant to leave these grains, and they have no conditions to process them. Crossing no man's land is a small step. By the time the ears of corn cobs and sorghum were neatly stacked on the hospital parking lot, the east had already turned yellow, and another dawn had quietly arrived.

The convoy set off against the rising sun, the way it came. But there is no longer the spectacular luxury when it came, and the high-rise buildings on both sides of the main road are more mottled, but they have fallen into decay a lot in a few days, and from time to time there are bursts of dust in the distance to cover the sky and the sun. Everyone knows that it is the mournful cry of the collapse of an old building.

"Ray, Rose, we have come to see the glory, and we are gone, leaving behind an elegy of ruins." Zhong said with a heavy heart, the military vehicle accelerated, and the car behind followed closely, and the dust raised blocked everyone's vision, and this prosperous and developed city was finally out of sight.
