"You are optimistic about Tana, let's go to the main house first and call for help."

With that, I bent down and picked up the toffee scattered on the ground.

I rubbed some dirt on the outer packaging of the toffee that had been sprinkled on the ground before, I rubbed it on my clothes, handed it to Wang Dongru, and got up and walked out in the direction of Tana.

Wang Dongru took the candy and put it in his coat pocket, coaxing Tana to follow.

As soon as I entered the main house, I saw Wang Shouye describing to everyone how we fought in a thrilling way, and several people who had not participated in the action in the hut before surrounded him and listened attentively.

The old cadre was sitting in the bar, making a phone call, the mute was standing next to him, flipping through the ledger on the table, and the big man was raising his hand to take the wine from the display cabinet behind the bar.

I walked straight to the bar:

"Is it through?"

The old cadre snapped the phone and shook his head.

“110？ 119？ Tried it all? ”

I then asked.

"Even 120 and 112 tried, and it passed, but no one answered."

The old cadre sighed and said.

I adjusted the landline to my side, picked up the phone, pressed the familiar phone number, and went directly to the troop communication room.

"Dut...... Honk...... Honk........................... Toot Toot

No one answered.

The call is answered twenty-four hours a day, and even the beep never exceeds the third one, at least for the past twelve years, unless.........

A flash of scruple crossed my mind, but the thought was instantly terminated.

No way!

When pigs fly!

That's the army!

For now, the only possible explanation is that all personnel have been involved in the emergency fighting, and it is highly likely that all of them will be transferred.

If this assumption is true, then it is almost certain that the situation we are facing is not limited to this one place!

In this way, the scope of this mutation is far larger than I imagined!

“…… Hiss...... Hiss ......"

The sound of the radio.

I jerked my head back, and Mr. Wang was fiddling with an old-fashioned radio on the windowsill.

“…… Hiss...... Aggressive ...... Hiss...... ...... at home"

There was a sound on the radio that sounded like a news announcement, and everyone fell silent.

“…… Hiss... The disaster is spreading to the whole country, many areas, including rescue units, have also been affected or even paralyzed, the cause of the disaster is being investigated, the infected are extremely aggressive, the attacked will be infected and assimilated in a short time, please all survivors must stay at home, close doors and windows, do not go out, and wait for rescue. Repeat, emergency broadcast: An unknown plague is rapidly spreading from Hami City to the surrounding areas, and the entire northern region has been affected, and the disaster is spreading to the whole country......"

Wang Dongru held the radio and looked at me with a stunned expression, everyone in the room stared at the radio, and the whole room fell silent, except for Tana's soft sobs.

"Remember to me, since you have chosen to be a soldier, you must be like a soldier! Your only mission is to protect your family! Wei! ”

In the silence, the words of the captain of the recruit on the first day of the army suddenly sounded in my mind.

I don't know why I suddenly remembered these words from 12 years ago, and it was only when the radio Cao repeated it for the third time that it suddenly came back to my senses.

Looking at the room full of survivors, I cleared my throat and said:

"We have to cheer up, everyone has heard what is happening outside, this is a catastrophe, we are lucky to have survived, our soldiers are fighting on the front line, they will not give up on us, we must not give up on ourselves! Even if we can only rely on ourselves for the time being, we still have to hold on until we are rescued. At this point, I can only be prepared to stay here for a long time. ”

"It's a good thing I didn't go with you, otherwise I wouldn't know what it would be..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a girl in a trench coat complaining about the southern traveler.

"I forced you away? You're going to follow, and besides, don't you go, it's up to me. ”

The male traveler responded with a look of disgust.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, what time is this, what, brother soldier, what do you think we should do next?"

The big man played in the round.

"Let's do this, it is estimated that it will be dark in a while, the sky will be cloudy for most of the day, the wind will stop, it is estimated that there will be a heavy rain, and the gay man will work with me to carry the body out of the house, dig a pit and burn it and bury it again, so as not to cause any infectious diseases, there are a few empty oil drums on the side of the board room where the car is repaired, and the female comrades will get some soil to spread on the blood stains, and then sweep it up and get it out."

I looked at the thin Wang Dongru and Feng Yuan, and then arranged:

"You two are responsible for transporting soil for the lesbians, looking around for disinfectant and other things, if not, go to the storage room to get liquor, and clean up the places where there have been corpses and bloodstains and disinfect them, so it's safe. Oh yes. ”

As I spoke, my eyes fell on the old cadre who had been sitting at the bar, and quickly added:

"Brother, you can also help in the house, the door lock in the innermost room..."

The old cadre squinted and smiled:

"Okay, I'll put it back on."

I suddenly had a feeling that I couldn't speak, as if I couldn't contact the outside world now, and his expression was even more relaxed.

"If there are no objections, let's get started."

I clapped my palms to signal everyone to cheer up, and said as I walked to the back room:

"Let's clean up the corpses first, and they can do their work."

One by one, several of us carried the bodies to the northwestern corner of the courtyard.

The big man carried out the first body with me and did not return to the house, but began to dig a pit with a sapper shovel.

By the time we brought the bodies out, he had already dug a two-meter-square, half-meter-deep pit, and this guy was digging really fast.

The mute took a crowbar and inserted it into the soil one by one, shook it twice and then pulled it out, helping to loosen the soil, Sun Shouye took out a larger shovel from the board house and helped bring the soil out.

Seeing that the pit was almost finished, I put some gasoline out of the gasoline drum in the board room, put it in the smaller empty engine oil drum, and took it to the side of the pit, and said to the big man:

"It's almost, it's too late to dig a big pit, if you burn it and bury it, this pit is big enough."

A few people stopped what they were doing when they listened, and I stretched out my hand to the clumsy Sun Shouye and motioned to pull him up.

Sun Shouye gasped, put the shovel on the iron fence wall, and slapped the soil on his body.

The big man supported himself with a sapper shovel, stepped forward by himself, and breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Alright, let's get feverish."

We threw the bodies into the pit, poured some gasoline on them, and then put the bodies and poured them again, to make sure they burned through.

Ten corpses, oh no, nine and a half corpses, stacked in three layers in a two-meter square pit.

The captain of the traveler took out a lighter, pulled off half of the cloth with gasoline from the corpse, lit it, and threw it on the pile of corpses.

The fire was burning and smelling unpleasant, so I quickly covered my mouth and nose and waved my hand to stay away.

We walked near the hut and watched the flames from a distance, and a few people in the main room also came out, looking at the roaring fire in the distance, and no one spoke.

By this time Tana had stopped crying, and he came out and looked at the fire from afar.

The short-haired girl hurriedly took Tana's hand:

"Tana, it's going to rain, go back to the house with Auntie."

After saying that, he pulled Tana into the house.

The fire burned for more than ten minutes, and the flames began to slowly decrease.

I was feeling the fragility of life, and suddenly I felt a cold on my face, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, it was rain.

I looked up at the sky, and the rain was falling, and I hurried to the fire, saying as I ran:

"Before the rain falls, hurry up and bury it."

Walking to the earthen pit, the corpse was burned black, and in some places it was burned through, revealing the bones of Bai Baratu, and the pile of corpses, which was almost the same as the earthen pit, also sank more than 30 centimeters, exuding a foul smell.

The big man and Sun Shouye quickly shoveled the soil inside, and I took the oil drum to help pour the soil, and the others didn't have any tools to take advantage of, so I simply let them go back to the house first.

It didn't take much effort for us to pile up a mound half a meter high.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and seeing that the last bit of soil that Sun Shouye was shoveling had turned into mud, I patted him on the shoulder:

"That's it, don't catch a cold."

After saying that, he shook the oil drum, threw out the last bit of mud, and threw it aside.

Sun Shouye responded, put the shovel next to the fence and put it away, turned around and ran towards the main house.

As I ran back, I looked back at the mound and thought to myself, "I'll bury it when the disaster is over."

But I would never have imagined that such a humble burial would be a luxury in the days to come.

As soon as I entered the main house, the room was full of the smell of wine, and the disinfection of feelings was quite in place, and it seemed that it had just been cleaned up, and everyone was sitting at the dining table in twos and threes, discussing this disaster.

The old cadre was pulling a stool out to sit down, and when he saw us coming in, he turned to look at us and said with concern:

"It's raining so hard, huh? Wipe it off quickly, don't catch a cold for a while, and dry it again when the rain stops. ”

"It's okay, it's all buried."

After I finished speaking, I beckoned to the big men again:

"Find a towel to wipe your body, don't catch a cold, by the way, buddy, give me the car keys, I'll go and drive the car outside in and close the courtyard door."

"I'll just go."

After the captain of the traveler finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Wang Dongru walked into the guest room and took out several towels and bath towels of all sizes and distributed them to us.

I took a towel and wiped my hair haphazardly, saw the duffel bag in the corner, lifted it, and placed it on the largest dining table.

It happened that the captain of the donkey friend also closed the courtyard door and walked in, his shirt was all wet, so he simply took it off, took a bath towel from the big man's hand, wiped it a few times and draped it on his body and sat down.

"It's been a day of tossing, let's divide the food to fill our stomachs first."

With that, I opened my travel bag.

There are more than a dozen bottles of water in the travel bag, vacuum-packed pork knuckles, pig ears, canned luncheon meat, dozens of ham sausages, and a few bags of instant noodles. No wonder it's so heavy, a bag of meat except water.

However, in a hostel in this kind of place, this is the only thing that can last a little longer.

I poured the whole bag of food on the table and beckoned:

"Come on, take what you want to eat, these are enough for us to eat, let's assign a room after eating."

After saying that, I unscrewed a bottle of water and drank it all in one go.

It's been a day, and after drinking a few sips of water on the train, my throat is about to smoke.

Sun Shouye took two bottles of liquor from the bar, took a few cups and washed them on the kitchen faucet, put them on the dining table, pulled a chair and sat down:

"If you drink yourself, let's be reborn after the catastrophe, celebrate."

Everyone sat around, the old cadres and the big man poured wine, the captain of the donkey friend also poured a glass, and handed me the wine bottle, I hurriedly waved my hand:

"You drink, you drink, I don't drink."

After saying that, he stood up and picked up the pig's ears and knuckles, turned around and walked to the kitchen:

"I'll cut it for you."

I cut the meat and put it on a plate, and when I saw the disposable chopsticks, I grabbed a handful of them and put them on the table with the meat:

"It's so much easier."

In fact, I saw this disposable chopsticks a few times when I was a child, and then I didn't let the production use because it was too unenvironmentally friendly, but I didn't expect so many chopsticks in such a remote hostel...
