Chapter 43: The Prom
On the issue of accepting Cheng Sihan as a new member, there is no opinion. There are so few humans left in the world, and every extra person feels unusually friendly.
Everyone was lively, but Zhang Zifeng became much more deserted here.
Chu Zhaonan saw that he Feng was a little sullen, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be sad, being able to come back safely is the biggest gain." What's more, you brought back one person. In this day and age, no matter how many good things you find, no one matters. β
Zhang Zifeng looked at him with wide eyes, daring him to think that he was uneasy because he didn't find supplies? Everyone's thinking is really not on the same track.
However, it is understandable that after all, the three of them went out in the name of the search team, and they have been there for the longest time, and now they are coming back empty-handed, which is indeed a bit of a child's play. Especially compared to the gains of the other two squads, the gap is even more obvious.
Chu Zhaonan's next words revealed his true thoughts in his heart: "Come, look at what Zhang Long and they have found!" β
He led Zhang Zifeng to a black machine, which was full of engine oil and looked quite ugly. Although he did not operate it himself, Zhang Zifeng still judged its purpose from its appearance.
"It's a generator."
"That's right!" Chu Zhaonan snapped his fingers and replied excitedly, "The small diesel generator, we have already tried it once, and there is no problem with it!" β
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng's face was slightly dazed, Chu Zhaonan added: "You don't know how useful it is!" You can turn on the lights and make the electric car move. Most importantly, you can charge your phone and computer! In the future, at least there will be music to listen to and movies to watch in the evening! To celebrate, everyone decided to have a dance party tonight! β
When Chu Zhaonan spoke, he even danced with his hands. It's like the prom is starting now.
Zhang Zifeng shook his head helplessly, entertainment has become the most important thing at the moment. The world is still full of dangers, and human beings are really optimistic animals.
It seems that his choice to conceal the tide of corpses is correct, and everyone has been scared for enough days, so they are finally happy, so don't pour cold water on it.
"And over here!" Chu Zhaonan pulled him to walk a few steps quickly, opened the tarpaulin, and the contents made Zhang Zifeng's eyes light up, it was actually a few cases of beer that were neatly stacked! There are also a variety of white and red wines scattered next to it, which is enough for everyone to drink happily.
No wonder everyone is so excited, it turns out that they have found such a good thing!
Originally, Zhang Zifeng was not an alcoholic, but after going through so much, he suddenly looked forward to the feeling of being slightly drunk after drinking. Sometimes it seems to be a kind of relaxation to make the mind less awake and more emotional.
Chu Zhaonan said proudly: "Cui Shu, they found a tobacco and alcohol supermarket, and this is only part of it, which is enough for me and others to drink for a while." β
There were many other supplies, cars, oil drums, piles of clothes, unopened bags of food, everything that was deemed useful, and the two search teams brought it back, and it didn't cost money anyway.
Chu Zhaonan pointed to a few bags of grain and said: "Although the variety of these foods is not rich enough, the quantity is still quite considerable, it seems that my previous estimate was a little pessimistic." There are a lot of supplies left in this vicinity, enough to feed more than 30 of us. β
Zhang Zifeng nodded, and suddenly said, "Didn't you say you wanted to harvest wheat before?" To do what strategic reserves, in the future as a currency. Don't want to accept it? β
"Harvest, of course you have to collect, so much grain rots in the ground, it's a crime." Chu Zhaonan said, but soon the conversation changed,
"It's just that I haven't found a harvester yet, so it's impossible for everyone to take a sickle and collect it. For now, our focus is to get all the supplies in our hands as soon as possible before other survivors or zombies arrive. Tomorrow the search team will continue to set off to expand the search area. β
"Didn't you say that if it rains, all the wheat will be in the soup?" Zhang Zifeng said. In fact, even if there is no rain, the wheat will fall off naturally due to too long, and the harvest will be reduced by one cent for each day it is delayed.
Chu Zhaonan was a little strange that Zhang Zifeng was obsessed with this problem, spread his hands, and said, "It's not like it hasn't rained for several months." If there is sudden precipitation, there is no way to do it. β
These are the words that Zhang Long said yesterday, which was refuted by Chu Zhaonan at the time, and now it has become his point of view. How quickly can people's minds change?
Zhang Zifeng stared at his face and sighed silently in his heart.
In the past, everyone suffered physical and mental torture in the bungalow, but after being freed, they still lived in fear. And today suddenly scavenged so many things, there is a feeling of an upstart.
Now that so many materials can be easily found, the dirty and tiring work of harvesting wheat naturally cannot enter everyone's eyes, and even Chu Zhaonan, who has always had a long-term vision, is not exempt from vulgarity.
Now people feel good, they can take all kinds of supplies they want, as if they have everything, and life is stress-free. Although the zombies in the chicken farm are considered a threat, there is still a wall to block them, and the zombies from other places have not come to visit the door.
If it weren't for Zhang Long's nagging to train, everyone would have almost forgotten that they were in the last days. If it can go on like this, it's actually quite good.
If he hadn't seen today's huge tide of corpses, Zhang Zifeng might have thought the same way, and he had been huddled in the stratosphere with everyone to keep warm.
So many organized zombies will one day sweep the whole world, and this small group will be wiped out in an instant.
Build high walls, accumulate food, and strive to accumulate capital to fight zombies, no matter how cautious it is now, instead of wasting resources on meaningless entertainment.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng's preoccupied appearance, Chu Zhaonan sensed that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen today? β
Looking at his concerned gaze, Zhang Zifeng hesitated for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about when the dance will start, it's really boring to hear you nagging in your ear." β
He suddenly realized that the cruelty and distortion of the outside world could change anything? Everyone's strength is still too small, and it doesn't mean anything other than making people feel heavy.
Chu Zhaonan also laughed, the two men patted each other on the shoulder, and the laughter became louder and louder, causing other people to look sideways, but everyone was not interested in the two men, and went to Xiao Lori again.
Chu Zhaonan said meaningfully: "You don't have to think too much. Life in the world is not only about troubles, not to mentionβ"
He paused slightly, his smile narrowed a lot, looked around at the crowd, and said: "We were all people waiting to die in the bungalow, and now every day we live is extra, so let's cherish every minute and live a more exciting life." β
Turning his head and saying, "Don't worry, everyone should relax when they should relax, and when it comes to critical moments, they can still be nervous." β
Zhang Zifeng looked at him for a long time and smiled self-deprecatingly. Chu Zhaonan didn't seem to have compromised or degenerated, but after experiencing life and death, he became open-minded, and it seemed that he was too worried.
When night falls, a roaring bonfire is lit in the square, and everyone gathers in front of the bonfire to start the night's revelry.
The so-called ball is actually more like a tea party. Everyone drank wine, ate snacks, chatted and bragged together, and if they wanted to run, they went to twist their bodies in the middle, and if they wanted to sing, they cried wolf, and no one cared about this world anyway.
A laptop on the sidelines is playing a variety of anime songs on a loop, as background music. No way.,The original owner of the computer is an otaku.,The downloaded songs are all two-dimensional.γ
Although they are all in Japanese and I don't understand the meaning, the melody is a common language, and the style of music is agitated for a while and gentle for a while, which is not bad.
The fly in the ointment is that there is no speaker found, and the sound seems to be a little quieter, even less than the roar of the generator, but everyone doesn't seem to care, just have an atmosphere.
Cheng Sihan was very positive, saying that he was new to the road, and he hoped that everyone would take care of him, and took the initiative to run to the field and danced two dances, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Her petite figure and red dress matched the songs very well, causing a burst of applause, with hooligan whistles in between.
When she came back from dancing, Zhang Zifeng looked at her sweaty face thoughtfully. This girl is sometimes full of girlish natural shyness, and sometimes she is a little too extroverted, as now.
Ren Fei quietly leaned on Zhang Zifeng's arms, closing her eyes and recuperating. Although the atmosphere was quite harmonious, the tide of corpses during the day seemed to be haunting the mind, out of step with the joyous scene in front of them, and neither of them could fully integrate into the ball.
The bear on the other side seems to have changed his usual grinning image, and he doesn't seem to be very happy. The three of them were emotionally in lockstep.
This highlights Cheng Sihan's difference. She is also a person who has seen the tide of corpses, and she doesn't seem to be worried at all, could it be that she is too young and doesn't know what it means to be troubled?
"Sihan," Ren Fei said, "We're a little tired, let's go back and rest first, do you want to continue playing." β
Cheng Sihan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I want to follow my sister." β
Although she came back with three people, she is also a woman, and she feels closer to Ren Fei.
"That's fine." Ren Fei said. After all, the little girl is not very familiar with the others. What's more important is that Cheng Sihan is not like others who have been recuperating for a while, and he has been living a frightened life for so many days, so he should have rested early.
Zhang Zifeng glanced at Ren Fei, in fact, she took the initiative to say this in order to take Cheng Sihan to rest, her girlfriend is always so sensible.
The three of them got up, and Xiong Xianming followed, and he was also a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the ball.
The four of them entered the small courtyard together. Fortunately, there are quite a lot of rooms, and Ren Fei cleaned up one for Cheng Sihan. The latter looked satisfied, saying that after so many days of sleeping in the open, he could finally sleep in a comfortable bed, and he fell asleep after a while.
