Text Chapter 409 Memoirs of an Internet Café
After listening to Chen Bin's thoughts, everyone agreed very much. The importance of medicines in the aftermath of the disaster is self-evident, and the most rare thing is that the health service center is next to the waterway and the way people travel.
"It's just that there are fewer doctors, and only Miss Ji is alone," Da Fei said with some pity.
"You should be content, brother," Qiao Xingyu laughed, "To be honest, I have to thank Brother Zhang Si, when he came to Jiafu Supermarket, he not only helped us get Li Guoqiang and his gang, but also brought Miss Ji over." ”
"Yes," Chen Bin also said with some emotion, "He is really the one who changed the fate of all of us." ”
"Who is this Brother Zhang Xi you are talking about, is he here in our detention center?" Wang Ping asked curiously.
"No, he's gone." Da Fei patted Wang Ping on the shoulder, "I'll tell you his story when I get back to the boat." ”
"Okay," Wang Ping used to be a reporter, and his professional habits led him to be interested in all kinds of stories, just now from Chen Bin and Qiao Xingyu's words, I felt that Zhang Si should be a very amazing person, but according to his impression after coming to the detention center, there seems to be no one here with this name.
Hearing Da Fei say that Zhang Si had left here, Wang Ping's heart became more and more curious.
Everyone went downstairs and brought back the medical equipment and equipment that could be moved in the general consultation room back to the ship, the space on the sand boat was very large, and the things they got back only occupied a corner of the cabin.
"Do you want to keep loading something?" Wei Qiming asked.
"Don't worry, let's get out early, we can continue to explore the south, and take the rest of the things when we go back," Chen Bin said, looking across the river, where a water cedar was planted on the embankment, and through the gap between the trees, he could see a large area of farmland behind them.
"It would be nice if that land was next to our detention center."
"Where?" Qiao Xingyu asked, he looked in the direction of Chen Bin's finger, "Oh, the place is really good." ”
"Can we send someone over here to farm?" Chen Sheng asked, he was just about to take back the drone when he heard Chen Bin and Qiao Xingyu say this, so he flew the drone over again.
The drone circled around the farmland, and Chen Sheng stared at the picture transmitted back on the screen, observing it carefully.
The farmland is surrounded by river water on all sides, with only a few bridges and embankments on the opposite bank connecting to the outside, and the houses inside are also concentrated, not scattered everywhere.
"Do you kid want to open a mine?" Qiao Xingyu said with a smile, "Yes, but this must have a certain population base." ”
"If there are fewer people, there will be fewer things to do," Chen Bin nodded.
Unlike many people who lack vision, he knows that in the face of apocalyptic disasters, food and other materials are important, but the most important thing is the companions around him.
If Chen Bin hadn't helped these people at the beginning, then his own path would never have gone so far, there are no superheroes in this world, and the story of the lone ranger only exists in science fiction movies.
Just like Zhang Si, Chen Bin was still a little puzzled when he went on the road alone, but when he thought about it in his spare time, Chen Bin understood his plan. This man should know in his heart that his wife cannot still be alive, and he rushes to find his wife with that faint hope, which is just a punishment for not being by his side at the moment of danger.
Lonely looking for his wife, and even dying on the road in the end, this may be the ending that Zhang Si arranged for himself. Whether it is salvation or punishment, Chen Bin felt his sincere love for his wife from Zhang Si's actions.
Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Holding the hand of the son, harmonious with the son. This is not a beautiful sentence that touches people on the surface, Mr. Wen Yiduo explained these four lines of poetry back then, "It is still said that if you are born, you will live together, and if you die, you will live in the same hole, and you will never be separated." ”
Zhang Si didn't know where Manman's accident was, he came all the way from Nanjing, just hoping to die closer to his wife in the end. Ji Wenwen may not know Zhang Si's thoughts, but Chen Bin already understands, but now he has no chance to persuade and retain this friend like a brother.
"What are you thinking?" Da Fei watched Chen Bin sitting on the boat in a daze, so he handed him some food.
"Just think about it, empty your brain," Chen Bin smiled and took the instant noodles handed by Da Fei. He broke off a piece of the dough and crushed it in his hand, then sprinkled it on the side for the dumplings to eat, while he took the rest and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"There are still a few days left on New Year's Day, and half a year has passed in a flash," Da Fei found a small lid, poured some water into it and put it in front of the group, he rubbed Bian Mu's head with his hand, and said with some emotion, "The changes in this world are really like dreams." ”
"There is still time to wake up from dreams, but when will this world change back to its original state?" Qiao Xingyu took over, "In such a large area nearby, we haven't seen a few survivors, which can indirectly show how rare the number of survivors is now." ”
"You say, will we humans not be able to withstand this crisis like the dinosaur mass extinction in history?" Qiao Xingyu suddenly thought of this topic related to dinosaurs, when he saw a documentary dedicated to the mystery of extinction, in which the dinosaurs were a species that dominated terrestrial ecosystems for more than 160 million years, but the last catastrophe caused them all to become extinct.
The catastrophe is said to have been caused by an asteroid-like material that struck Central America and broke through the earth's crust, causing magma to erupt from the Earth's interior. The supervolcanic eruptions caused by the impact released a very large amount of energy, and the ash and poisonous gases that erupted from these volcanoes obscured the sky. The entire planet is covered in volcanic ash and poisonous gases, sunlight is no longer able to penetrate the atmosphere to reach the earth's surface, plants are unable to photosynthesize, oxygen levels in the air are low, and the temperature of the ground drops dramatically.
"It's a natural disaster, but this zombie virus ...... It seems to be different, it seems to be only infectious to humans, but it is not harmful to other animals," Da Fei shook his head and said, "I don't believe that this is something that we humans have made up ourselves, how can anyone be so stupid." ”
"Does this virus work on monkeys?" Chen Bin asked suddenly.
"I don't know," everyone was stunned for a moment, as a close relative of humans in the animal kingdom, monkeys have a similar body structure and many organs to humans, but no one has ever seen a mutated monkey, so they can't be sure for a while.
"Hopefully it won't work," Chen Sheng thought of the monkeys that could climb around, and if they were to mutate due to the virus, the city might be more suitable for them to survive than the forest, and the mutated monkeys would probably be more threatening than the zombies.
"Anyway, having thought of this, let's be careful when we haven't come to a definite conclusion yet." Da Fei said, "This disaster should also be global, in terms of danger, I think it is no less than the mass extinction in the age of dinosaurs, as for whether human beings can withstand it, no one can say now." All I know is that if we can survive, even if everyone else in the world dies, humanity will not be extinct. ”
"What you said is idealistic enough," Qiao Xingyu smiled, "Of course, my dream is to live longer and die faster." ”
"Live longer, die faster," Wang Ping savored Qiao Xingyu's words, and agreed very much in his heart, "Be concise and to the point." ”
"Have you noticed that on both sides of this waterway, houses or fields are scattered separately, and both are relatively concentrated," everyone talked about some marginal topics, and the sand boat drove forward for some distance, and Chen Bin found that the situation on both sides of the river bank was very distinctive.
There is a cement bridge across the river in front of the river, starting from the other side of the bridge, the houses on both sides of the bank are built near the river, and the width vacated on the bank is no longer open to traffic, replaced by a cement path more than one meter wide.
The path is not high above the river, and there are no railings on the side of the road, so it seems that it is much easier to get ashore from these places, except that all you can see on the bank are tiled houses, and unless you find survivors in them, they are of no value to the people on the sand boats.
Everyone watched the situation on the riverbank, and at the end of Hengchajiang Road, a semi-circular clearing was recessed into the residential area. At the edge of the clearing is a concrete bridge across the river, which is blocked by cars, and one car even broke through the railing of the bridge, and the small half of the body rushed out of the bridge and hung in the air.
"Damn, it's not going to fall," the sand boat passed under the bridge, and Wei Qiming raised his head to stare at the car with half of its body hanging in the air. He even felt the car seem to be shaking slightly as the wind blew.
Wei Qiming hoped that this was an illusion, but fortunately, the sand boat passed under the bridge smoothly, and when he turned around and looked at the bridge again, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Outside a house on the bank of the river, a wooden sign hangs on the wall, on which the words "Martian era" are written in red pen. On the wall next to the wooden sign, someone added the words "Internet Club" with a dark pen.
"There is still such a black network, right? Interesting. Da Fei laughed when he saw the wooden sign, "When I was in high school before, the county town around my home was full of this kind of small Internet café, and there were only a dozen or so computers in one room, and the tables and chairs in it were even made of wood. ”
"Are the Internet cafes you talking about just Internet cafes?" Qiao Xingyu asked.
"Yes, it's all called Internet cafes now," Da Fei nodded, "The environment of Internet cafes can't be compared with Internet cafes, and after the grade came up, the name has also improved a lot." ”
"Speaking of Internet cafes, I remember that there was a popular online game called Legend at that time, and at that time I was called by a classmate to book a night, but after going to the Internet café, I found that the entire Internet café was full of people playing this game. My classmate opened a computer for me, and also helped me register an account, so I could play with him, but I think that game is a person with a wooden sword and keeps cutting deer, and it seems that when you reach level seven, you can't level up. Chen Bin suddenly recalled the green past, and couldn't help but laugh on his face, "Later, I learned that it was to charge a point card, although you can continue to play if you don't charge a point card, you can't upgrade, and you can't go offline." At that time, I felt bored and couldn't stay sleepy, so I gave the machine to a person behind me who didn't have a computer to play, I said I wanted to sleep for a while, and the person ran to bring me a few chairs. When this game is popular, people who don't have access to the machine at night will even sit and watch others play all night. ”
"What are you," Da Fei also talked about the strange things he encountered in the Internet café, "I played a summer vacation "Legend" in the Internet café during the summer vacation of my junior year of high school, when there would be a woman in the Internet café every afternoon to video chat with people, at the beginning I heard the two husbands and wives shouting very affectionately, and they would also talk about some intimate topics, that woman was not taboo to be surrounded by strangers, anyway, she spoke very boldly. Until one day, guess what? ”
"What's wrong?" Everyone's appetite was whetted by Da Fei.
"That day I saw a little girl about four or five years old running into an Internet café and calling the woman's mother, and then telling her that she was hungry and asked for money to buy snacks to eat."
