Chapter 558: Gourd Baby
"Let's take a break. It's so refreshing to take a cold shower. ”
Leng Hao wiped his body, looked at the pond full of algae and many plastic bags floating in front of him, and shook his head.
This is life in the last days, and it is a great blessing to have a water source.
Just beside Leng Hao, a large group of team members all went ashore with a smile, and the mountain fire just now made people love water very much.
On the other side of the pond, Song Xiaya and the others were boiling water with all kinds of tattered pots and pans.
Whenever possible, people will still drink boiled water, as He Qing and the others have repeatedly reminded.
Leng Hao looked at the people sitting around the pond with satisfaction.
There are old people who are struggling to walk, and there are also injured people with disabilities in their hands and feet.
But now, there are quite a few people talking to each other.
The wildfire just now made people who closed their hearts understand that in front of the real danger, the power of one person is insignificant.
"Hahaha, Captain, what do you think I found?"
At this time, behind Leng Hao, there was a silver bell-like laughter.
Then Leng Hao turned his head and saw Han Yujie holding a large string of gourds in his hand, happily running towards the people.
"Gourd baby? That's great. ”
Wang Wei, who was worried that he didn't have too many containers to carry water sources, his eyes lit up.
"Little sister, where did you find this gourd, and is there anything else over there?"
But Song Xiaya thought more, as long as there are seeds, people can transplant this.
The gourd has gradually disappeared in the life of modern people.
However, in previous times, gourds were a very good plant.
It is edible, and as a climbing plant, it also does not need to occupy a large area.
Moreover, after the shell of the gourd has been skillfully treated, it can also be used as a kettle, water scoop.
"There are still some over there, but it's a little hard to find, Sister Ya, I'll take you there."
Guo Yujie has been able to live until now, and it is necessary to observe words and colors.
"Hehe, you're welcome, everyone, come and eat gourds, and then become gourd babies."
When the women took back thirty or forty green gourds in one go, people all gathered around with a smile.
"In fact, nature has brought us a lot of things, but we don't know how to cherish them."
A wrinkled, somewhat old man sighed as he took a small bite of the gourd in his hand.
"That's right, now we can really want to learn from the ancients."
Leng Hao, who happened to be passing by his side, said casually.
"Captain Leng Hao, I have a question, I hope you can help me solve it. Why doesn't anyone in your team use leggings? ”
"Huh?"
Leng Hao turned his head suddenly.
Leggings, in fact, are some strips of cloth, tightly tied to people's calves, which can play a certain role in strengthening physical fitness and relieving fatigue.
In fact, it is rare for modern people to use a variety of telescopic belts more often for fitness people.
However, Leng Hao has actually seen a lot.
This thing is often found in anti-Japanese dramas.
"Oh, old sir, you wake up the dreamer with a word. Quick, black eagle, find some fabric, and get leggings for everyone. ”
Why don't modern armies use leggings?
On the one hand, there is better equipment replacement, on the other hand, Huaxia has long been mechanized, and the simple infantry traveling hundreds of kilometers like before will basically not happen.
However, the current Rat Expedition can be regarded as a real infantry unit, and this equipment is just in use.
There was water, food, and some improvised equipment, which kept the morale of the team high for the next few days.
Although from time to time, seriously ill refugees fall, and there are more and more flatbed trucks dragged behind Xiaohua, people yearn for the base that only exists in the mouths of veteran players.
"Brother Xiaohui, is the base really as good as you say?"
Guo Yujie has now become Wang Xiaohui's little follower, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who follows the former car designer almost all the time, just because of the compressed biscuit the size of a little finger.
"Ahem. Don't think too well about the base. We're actually having a hard time. ”
Seeing that the refugees around him quietly pricked up their ears, Wang Xiaohui grabbed the gourd and poured a sip of water.
"What do you think, there are not many people in the base, all aspects have to be built, and we want our homeland to become impregnable, and there are too many things to do."
"Exercise, mechanical maintenance, battlefield first aid, plant planting, hey, except for being able to eat and eat, in fact, there is nothing good about the base."
In fact, at the beginning, the veterans always habitually showed off their "happy" life in front of these refugees, which made many refugees even have a delusion that they could return to modern life immediately.
Fortunately, this was noticed by Song Xiaya, and under her strong and repeated proposals, Leng Hao and the others realized this problem.
In fact, sometimes expectations can't be too high.
Human beings are very contradictory creatures, and the same thing will react differently in different states of mind.
Anyway, now that the gang is in the car of the Rat Expedition, it's time to cool them down.
"Is it really that hard?"
Guo Yujie pursed her lips and looked at the jungle in the distance with some sorrow.
"Hey, little sister, you just see the hard work, don't you see Wang Xiaohui Every time they talk about the base, their eyebrows are flying?"
The tumor on Tao Xinyang's face was extremely scary.
However, his words made many people feel the same way.
Just like in the old days, those who are better mixed in society, although they complain when chatting, but in fact, the corners of their eyebrows and eyes are slightly upturned.
"Don't say anything else, as long as I can cure my tumor, no matter how hard I work, I will admit it."
Tao Xinyang's words represent the voice of everyone.
Almost every one of them has injuries, illnesses and disabilities, or they are weak women.
In the last days, they are a group of people who have been eliminated by society, and now there are people who take them in and give them hope, and all this is enough.
"Brothers, ahead is our base."
"Did you see that? A hot air balloon in the distance, that's the sky sentinel at our base! ”
At this time, Leng Hao, who was walking in front, pointed to the sky in the distance and shouted loudly.
Guo Yujie looked at the small black dot in the distance in disbelief, which was indeed a hot air balloon floating in the sky.
A hot air balloon isn't high-tech, but it's not something any team of survivors can make!
"Ahhhh
Tao Xinyang suddenly turned red, and ran excitedly.
With his actions, the entire team began to pick up speed at once.
Whether it is a frail old man or a sick patient, at this moment, their bodies are injected with a powerful energy.
This real picture is more effective than showing off.
