Chapter 257: Mist One
After the world entered the apocalyptic era, even the weather became weird. It drizzled for three days, and then on the fourth day, there was a thick fog that made it impossible to see the sky. It was as if the whole world was shrouded in a transparent cup filled with moisture.
However, the most terrible thing is that at this juncture, the food brought is also exhausted, and seeing that in two days, everyone will be hungry, Li Zijing finally can't sit still.
For now, it is undoubtedly very risky to go out to search for food in the unfamiliar Ning County, but the situation is forced to do so.
After some discussion, the Mashan camp decided to send a search team to Ning County to find supplies. Some people didn't want to take this risk, so they hid back, and some people couldn't refuse, so they had to get into the car. After getting along for a while, Lin Xizheng also gained everyone's trust and officially joined the group. He has been in Ning County for four or five years, and he often goes out to shop during the holidays to buy some necessities, and he is the person who knows Ning County best in the whole camp.
He volunteered to join the search team, accompanied by Zhang Zhao, Guo Rong, Guo Kai, Chu Fei, and Song Muyuan. In two cars, a truck driven by Guo Kai and Zhang Zhao, and the other four sat on the land tiger.
The fog was so thick that I could only see the situation around me for about ten meters, my vision was blocked, and the vehicle was put to the slowest speed, and I didn't even dare to step on the accelerator too deeply. Ningxian is a small county seat, and the new area has only been developed in recent years, and many facilities are not perfect. Most of the population still lives in the old area, but the roads in the old area are dilapidated and congested, and it is such a foggy day, it is too dangerous to go there.
It's like leveling up a game to fight monsters, where there are more resources and the more dangerous they are, and those that are slightly safer can only get a little bargain. The search team set the target on the grain and oil store, because the things in the supermarket, even if they are still there, are mostly past the expiration date, and they are spoiled and rotten. Unless it is a last resort, under the critical moment of life and death, no one wants to eat these things, and if you don't eat it, you can last for two days, and if you eat it, you may feel uncomfortable for a few days, and you will still die.
Looking for a grain and oil store, how did Lin Xizheng know about these places, after listening to Zhang Zhao's opinion, he could only shrug his shoulders and say that he had no way to give advice. However, there are also many places in the new area put into use, even shopping malls, Zhang Zhao after graduation, worked as a salesman in a food wholesale company for half a year, and knew that there must be a place similar to the wholesale department, grain and oil warehouses or something.
In the early days of the zombie virus outbreak, due to the conditions and environment, many of the survivors who fled brought some ready-to-eat supplies, such as bread and biscuits. With the scarcity of such supplies, it is only when they look for the most troublesome things that can be filled. For the lone survivors, making a fire to cook is undoubtedly a risky thing, but it is too much of a risk compared to starving to death.
And this kind of material has become the first choice for large survivor groups to hoard materials at the earliest, and Zhang Zhao didn't count it in his heart, after so much time, there is still a possibility of finding it.
Along the way, they encountered many zombies, stumbling through the fog, and the land tigers ruthlessly crushed them, knocking them to pieces. When you see the outline of the building complex in front of you, you slow down and stop on the side of the road.
The whole surrounding environment was quiet and terrible, and the fog seemed to freeze, and even the roar of the zombies could not be heard. The people in the car tried to look out, trying to see something.
The car window was knocked lightly twice, which startled Song Muyuan, and he saw Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong standing outside, as if they had something to say.
"Where the hell is there a vegetable market in this place?" Zhang Zhao asked.
"Vegetable market? I don't know...... There is a shopping mall and a supermarket inside. Lin Xizheng recalled.
"That's useless." Zhang Zhao was a little displeased, he thought that Lin Xizheng could be reliable, but he didn't expect that he was really not familiar with this place in Ning County. It's like everyone knows that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, but many people have never been there.
"How do I get there now?" Guo Kai also felt that this matter was troublesome, and if he wanted to say that he was good at doing something else, he came out to search for supplies, and he was at most responsible for guarding and moving things.
"It's not an option to stay in one place for too long, so let's move forward." Getting out of the car is also a risky thing, Zhang Zhao was about to go back to the car, and suddenly stopped: "Wait." ”
He walked to the roadside fence, which was a construction site halfway through the construction, and the wall was covered with small advertisements, including decorations and holes, fake certificates, and even advertisements for some minor diseases, but what caught his eye was a few large characters on the wall.
Xiaocheng Wholesale Department! There is also a phone number and address below, No. 18, Mingguang Lane, Shengli Road.
"The road to heaven and earth, you can see this!" Guo Rong was overjoyed, if it weren't for being too familiar with Zhang Zhao, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Zhang Zhao's eyes are so sharp that people have to be convinced.
"Victory Road, pot, did we just walk that road?" Zhang Zhao asked, the two of them took the same car, their mouths did not stop, when they passed through the first few intersections, they saw the signs on the side of the road, Zhang Zhao also said at that time, how it seems that every city has a street called Shengli Road or something.
"Yes, I passed by just now, in such a small county, there can't be two victory roads." Guo Rong confirmed.
The two hurriedly told Guo Kai what they had discovered, then got into the car and turned around and walked back. This time, the speed of the car was very slow, for fear of missing the victory road.
The so-called Shengli Road, in fact, was rebuilt on the original rural road, before the outbreak of the zombie virus, it had just started not long ago, and the greening on the side of the road had not yet started. Towards Shengli Road, there are many dilapidated residential buildings and small factories on both sides, which are within the scope of the planned demolition.
Mingguang Lane, which is written in the advertisement, actually does not have this place, not even a sign. Fortunately, the owner of this wholesale department also took this problem into account, and erected a wooden sign from the mouth of the alley, indicating that the wholesale department was inside.
The rental buildings on both sides of this dilapidated path look like dangerous buildings, some of them have been emptied, and some of them can still see traces of previous human life, and even the quilts sprinkled on the roof of the attic have not been confiscated. The road is yellow muddy, potholes, and there is still residual rain from the previous days. There are a lot of debris and garbage piled up on the side of the road, and when you get inside, you can still see the mineral water piled up at the door like a hill.
After many turns and turns, I finally arrived at Xiaocheng's wholesale department, surrounded by low houses, several shacks, and processed stones. In this kind of place, even zombies are too lazy to come, and only a wild dog figure that quickly dodges when he sees someone coming flashes by.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Zhao went straight to the mineral water piled up at the door, took out a bottle from it, opened it and smelled it. These mineral waters have long passed their expiration date, and they are exposed to the wind and sun outside, and I don't know if there will be problems. Fortunately, it is not a drink, and there will be no deterioration after the expiration date, and after making sure that there is no strange taste, Zhang Zhao took a sip.
"Hey, don't get sick." Guo Rong reminded.
"Theoretically, it's going to be fine, pick some clean ones and take them back." Zhang Zhao saw Guo Rong looking at him stunned, and smiled: "This is mineral water, not anything else, don't worry that you will keep an eye on it later." ”
Seeing that the roller shutter door of the wholesale department was locked, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and it seemed that it was very likely that he would return with a full load this time. Fortunately, the address of this wholesale department is relatively remote, so he escaped the fate of being looted by other survivors, which happened to be cheaper for him.
While Guo Rong was in charge of picking the lock, several other people were also patrolling around, in order to ensure safety, there could be no mistakes at the most critical time.
After the door lock was pried open, Guo Rong carefully pulled the door up, trying to keep the sound as low as possible. There was a musty smell coming from the whole wholesale department, and it was as quiet as a grave.
There is a small room on the right side of the wholesale department, which is used for office use, and of course there are a lot of goods, all of which are milk and instant noodles. Most of the drinks that catch your eye are drinks and alcohol, unlike general wholesale centers, where all kinds of snacks and shelves are piled up. A wholesale department like this, which only provides some categories of food, is exactly what Zhang Zhao wants, because they can find enough drinking water and rice, oil and salt. It's just a pity that there are hundreds of boxes of instant noodles, Zhang Zhao tore open a pack and smelled it, it was already a little moldy.
The house was dark and smelly, and after turning around, I turned inside and out, and there were no zombies that came out of my imagination. In general, the food in this wholesale department is alcohol, beverages, grain and oil, and other snacks, and even a pack of spicy strips has not been found.
"It's really rare to solve the problem of people's livelihood so directly, the owner of this is really a good person." The house full of unfinished materials made Guo Rong extremely happy, and he couldn't help but talk confusedly.
There are indeed a lot of things that can be used in this warehouse, and they really have to be moved away, and there are no more than ten trucks that can't be finished. For the current state of life, being able to find such a place is like a little mouse that has fallen into a rice silo and can enjoy it to its heart's content.
Six people successively picked out some good rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and put them on the truck. As for those items that are not necessary, they can only be abandoned, and in order to save limited space, even mineral water is only moved in ten boxes. The only fly in the ointment is that he is not as rich as other wholesale departments, and he does not even have a pack of cigarettes.
When leaving, Guo Rong found an iron chain lock from the warehouse, relocked the roller shutter door, and covered the mineral water outside the door with a rain cloth. Such a treasure place, how can it be cheaper for others, and wait for the next time, we must send two more cars to carry these materials back as much as possible.
After leaving the alley, Zhang Zhao got out of the car and took down the sign at the intersection, threw it into the fence, and then smiled proudly at Guo Rong.
