Chapter 2 of the Initial Chapter
Removing the cement block blocking the door, the cold damp air hit his face, but fortunately, Denton had adapted to the temperature, but because he had just shaved his beard, his face felt cold and swishing.
When he was young, Denton turned over the entire workers' dormitory, and not surprisingly, except for many dry bones that shattered at the touch of a touch, there was no food, and even most of the household utensils were broken and rotten, but fortunately, the tableware was metal products, and it was not so easy to break. Denton vigorously wiped the stains from the stainless steel plates, and after feeling the same, he began to assemble a small barbecue grill, which had been found in the broken kitchen.
Not far away, a few flying beasts were scurrying among the rocks, finding something from time to time, and then they were robbing. Denton's hand holding the gun clenched and relaxed, and finally put it down.
With a light sigh, he stacked up some flammable materials and lit them, and the fire frightened the beasts into fleeing. After putting the things in order, he set his sights in the direction of the water supply tower.
Let's go there first! Hope you can get something!
Denton checked his gear and headed for the toppled water tower in front of him. Seeing that Danton had just escaped from the fire, the flying beasts that had just dispersed approached Danton again, and Danton finally saw the appearance of these flying beasts up close.
It turns out that these flying beasts are just groundhogs, but now they are larger and have ugly fleshy wings on their backs!
"Bang"
Denton shot the nearest groundhog to him, and when the shots hit him at close range, half of the groundhog's body was directly beaten to blood, and he could no longer escape. Seeing this, the other groundhogs immediately became agitated. Denton felt surrounded by tiny eyes, and whenever he showed a flaw, he would be swarmed up.
Finally, a groundhog behind Denton started moving!
Hehe! When is it that even rats are not afraid of people!
"Bang, bang!"
Denton turned around sharply and fired two shots in quick succession with his fastest hand speed, not only beating one of the most moving groundhogs into scraps, but also squeaking the other groundhogs.
Denton's Layton 870 shotgun has a capacity of 7 rounds, and after the shot, you have to find a safe place to reload, and it is unknown whether it will be targeted by these groundhogs during the reload. With this in mind, Denton immediately made a quick move in the direction of the water tower.
The rubble is full of all kinds of sharp edges, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be scratched, and the fog in the morning adds a little more slippery. This didn't have much impact on Denton, who had been training for a long time, and he was still deftly shuttling.
The side of the dumped jug touching the ground was distorted, but it hadn't broken, giving Denton another glimmer of hope.
The distance between the mouth of the tank is about one and a half heights, but fortunately, there is a thick water pipe with the mouth of the bowl still hanging on it. After hesitating for a few seconds, Denton slung his weapon behind his back and climbed up with his free hands pulling at the hose.
The slippery hose swayed, and Denton looked like a monkey. Fortunately, there wasn't much distance, and after touching the mouth of the can, Denton directly flipped up with a pull-up. An extraordinarily cool emanation emanated from the irrigation, which made Denton suddenly feel a little more sober, it was the breath of water!
"Ding... Bite... Boom... ”
He threw a pebble down, and the stone hit the steel wall with a crisp sound, and the empty echo made most of Denton's illusions disappear. The tank, which has a capacity of about 200 cubic meters, was previously used to provide domestic water for the steelworks. It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be much water left in the jug, or rather, there is no water left!
Looking inside from the mouth of the can, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, except for the previous water pipe.
Would you like to go down and have a look?
After looking at the entire jug again, and after some calculations, Denton unloaded the large and small backpacks on his body and put them on the mouth of the half-meter-wide can, and after the weight was gone, his whole body was full of strength. After a little consideration, I only took a LED flashlight, which is durable and waterproof, but Denton has not been able to find a place to replenish the power for a long time, so he rarely uses it.
I shone a flashlight at the jug, and there seemed to be a faint reflection, but the light was too weak to see clearly, and it seemed that I could only go down! Denton gripped the hose and began to slide down a little bit. The plastic hose bent towards the ground under Denton's weight, which immediately made Denton touch the wall of the tank, and with the stress surface, Denton immediately felt much more relaxed. After about a meter of sliding, Denton suddenly felt something touched, and then felt his shoe get wet.
Sure enough, there is water! And the amount is okay!
This discovery made Denton's spirit shake instantly, water is a necessity to live! In particular, this kind of water storage is in good condition. With the initial harvest, Denton climbed straight back to the mouth of the tank, which might have soiled the precious water source. After having hope, Denton began to think about how to get water reasonably, how to do it in the future, and so on, and couldn't help but think of all the things before the turmoil, and gradually became intoxicated...
After the great turmoil, most of the open-air water sources were polluted to varying degrees, and both humans and animals drank strange diseases and died directly. Two years later, the pollution is not as bad as it was at the beginning, but the number of animals has dropped dramatically, and those who survive, such as the marmots, have mutated.
Denton didn't know what caused such a huge mutation, and he thought back to the time when he wouldn't be able to jump if he hadn't lived in a basement where the landlord rarely came and avoided the crazy people.
Should I say lucky or sad。。。。。。
It was when Denton had just received his college diploma, an unknown college diploma that had been repeated for two years.
During that last time, the adoptive parents called from time to time to warn themselves that if they repeated the grade again, they would stop calling them for living expenses.
After some struggle, Denton gave up the online game he loved, and after a period of cramming review, he actually got enough credits.
What made Denton even more incredible was that as soon as he got his diploma, he received a special letter from his adoptive parents. The content is: because I have graduated from college, the guardianship relationship between them is over, and I will finally send a sum of money for my short-term daily life, if you have any other questions, please go to Rahel by yourself...
Lahler, the capital city of Adelaide, is highly modern and full of scientific institutions, much better than Denton's city of Doron. It stands to reason that Danton should immediately go to Lahel to find all the information about his origins, but after receiving the last money from his adoptive parents, Danton hesitated.
Denton had always felt that his adoptive parents had no feelings for him, and he could see the middle-aged couple a few times a year until he was ten years old, but after the age of ten, the number of times he saw each other began to decrease, and he would only call when he was calling for living expenses. When I got to university, I barely saw anyone. Denton clearly felt that there was no affection between his adoptive parents and himself, and Denton consciously never asked why he wanted to adopt him... Maybe it was because I could get some benefits from myself that I adopted myself!
Loss and loneliness have always been the main tone of Denton, except for the colorful virtual world can give Denton the space to release, there is no place to melt yourself!
That's a whole year's worth of living!
After a little planning, you can stay comfortably in the network for half a year...
What can you do if you know your background?
I have long been abandoned ...
"Wow...
The sound of the plastic hose hitting the metal interrupted Denton's memories, and when he looked out, he saw that a particularly eye-catching groundhog was wandering under the mouth of the can, and found that Denton stretched out his head and pounced upwards again, almost pounced!
The reason why it is eye-catching is that this groundhog is larger in size, the coat color is a little brighter than the others, a pinch of white hair at the door of the head, a pair of meat wings are large and neat, and the eyes are fiercely staring at Denton, and it looks like it is about to jump up.
Denton picked up the shotgun and shot it without hesitation.
"Bang...
Huge gunshots rang out, echoing inside the jug. Look at the big marmot already lying on the side, shaking its body, and not dead.
Denton was slightly taken aback, and condescendingly made up for it. The bullet hit again at close range, and the marmot rolled backwards like a stone, but it was still not crumbled like the previous marmot, but blood was pooling out of its fur. After his body trembled slightly, he actually got up like that, and his small eyes shone red.
The hand holding the gun seemed to be a little wet, and Denton aimed at a tuft of white hair on the head of the big rat and shot again!
