Chapter 33: Hygiene in the Last Days
33
After nightfall, Zhao Ze had already lurked near the old lair of the immortal old Joe.
Outwardly, it resembles a rudimentary fortress, consisting of three zigzag rocky hills, with no heavy firepower, and several exits filled with half-dead people.
The so-called lords are actually slaves raised by the immortal old Joe, and what can really serve him is composed of some crazy people who are sprayed with white paint and are called war boys.
Immortal Old Joe lived in a cave that had been carved out, nearly a hundred meters above the foot of the mountain, a distance that seemed safe—only for the last days.
Thinking that this old immortal covered in pus had occupied five girls, Zhao Ze felt very unhappy - buddy hasn't enjoyed it so much, why did you let you catch up?
Zhao Ze looked at it with a telescope for a while, but he didn't find anything, but this is normal, there is no such thing as brilliant lights in the apocalyptic environment.
Now he is left with two choices, either use a flying machine to enter the cave, block the killing of the Buddha and block the killing of the Buddha, and directly beat the immortal old Qiao into a hornet's nest.
But there is a certain risk in doing so, in case the immortal old Joe hides in the heavy gate, and he can't get in for a while, and he can't use blasting or other means to prevent the entire cave from collapsing.
If the immortal old Qiao was to take risks in this process, and give birth to the idea of "I can't get it, don't think about it", wouldn't it be equivalent to indirectly killing those five girls?
Since this method doesn't work, there is only one way left......
A few minutes later, Zhao Ze began to move into the distance, until he couldn't see the rocky mountain, and suddenly started the flying machine and flew towards Gasoline Town in the distance.
Gasoline Town and Bullet Farm do not appear in the movie, but judging from the plot, Gasoline Town seems to be an oil refinery in peacetime, and it can be seen from the billowing smoke that the humans who survive here are not inferior to the fortress of the undead Old Joe.
In other words, the bullet farm should be an arsenal with the ability to produce weapons.
These three forces complement each other, no one can do without the other, and no one wants to try to annex the other two, just forming a solid triangle area, showing a staggered trend.
Zhao Ze didn't dare to fly too low, God knows if there was a sniper rifle in Gasoline Town, plus it was getting late, and the light blue tail flame sprayed by the aircraft behind him was very obvious, so Zhao Ze just observed it with a telescope in the air for a while, and then left directly.
After returning to the saline-alkali land where the cart was buried, Zhao Ze took out the materials he had hidden before and began to prepare for dinner.
Because you have to stay in this ghost place for a full hundred days, although the original plot does not tell what people in this era eat and drink, it can be imagined that it must not be a very good thing.
In this way, Zhao Ze, who would never wronged himself, naturally made a big purchase, and prepared enough food for him to eat for the first half of the year.
The only thing missing is water, especially clean water.
However, Zhao Ze didn't forget to bring in pure water, at least enough for him to drink for a while.
In the rear compartment were ten barrels of purified water, plus three boxes of heavy weapons and munitions, and ten boxes of compressed cans of various flavors, and the seats in the front cab were all removed to hold all kinds of vacuum-packed food and spices.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Ford had been remodeled from head to toe, it wouldn't have been able to hold so many supplies.
Zhao Ze set up a stove on the saline-alkali ground, lit a fire and began to boil water, and at the same time took out a bag of sauce meat and seasonings, put the meat and seasonings in it after the water boiled, and then kept throwing in all kinds of dehydrated vegetables.
Half an hour later, a pot of beef broth wafting with a thick aroma was cooked.
Zhao Ze took out a roll of pancakes, soaked them in beef broth, and munched on the food on this desolate saline-alkali land, feeling better than anything he usually ate.
Thanks to the harsh natural environment, the world can't even find a single wild animal that reminds the larger ones, and only those that are drought tolerant and hungry survive, such as the lizard Max eats alive at the beginning of the film.
In this way, Zhao Ze didn't have to worry about any beasts attacking him.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Ze didn't go back to the car, and directly set up a small tent to ensure that he would not be bitten by poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, so he slept peacefully.
In fact, as long as he had the ability to foresee—even if it was only for ten seconds—Zhao Ze didn't have to worry about any sneak attacks or dangers at all, which was why he could sleep well in the last days.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ze had breakfast, took out a handful of wet wipes and wiped his face - water resources are scarce in the last days, and clean and pollution-free water resources are especially precious.
Before laying the fortress of the immortal old Qiao, Zhao Ze did not dare to squander the ten buckets of pure water he brought, and could only use disposable wet wipes to solve the problem of facial hygiene.
As for brushing his teeth, Zhao Ze bought Amway's full set of oral care products, including concentrated mouthwash, peppermint oral freshening spray, multi-effect white tea, fluoride toothpaste and matching toothbrush.
Dry brush your teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste, and then clean your mouth with mouthwash to save as much water as possible.
Although it is a little inconvenient, compared with the people in this world, Zhao Ze feels that he should be the cleanest and most hygienic person in the world.
Imagine how terrible the breath in a person's mouth must be if they haven't brushed their teeth for years, or even decades. Maybe they can be used as a substitute for chemical weapons.
Zhao Ze is most curious about the five girls who were occupied by the immortal old Qiao, he really wants to know if these five girls usually brush their teeth, but judging from their appearance, it should be no problem to take a bath, after all, the immortal old Qiao controls the water resources.
Before leaving, Zhao Ze buried all the supplies under the sand again, even put the flying machine in the car, and then began to walk through the saline-alkali land, running in the direction of the fortress of the immortal old Joe.
Because of the blessing of his mind on his body, Zhao Ze did not run hard, but felt that his body was as light as flying, and often a slight kick under his feet could make him leap a distance of several meters.
If you look at it from a distance, he is now like an oversized grasshopper, bouncing and running all the way.
While Zhao Ze was in a hurry, he was also wondering why in the world of "Strange Ability", the member of the organization, Victor. Didn't Büdarin run and jump like him?
The conclusion of the analysis is that in the urban environment where people come and go, running and jumping like a grasshopper will make you look like an idiot with a brain in water, and even if you are a person with extraordinary abilities, it is impossible to completely ignore the public's gaze.
It only took three minutes to use the flying machine to cross this area, but Zhao Ze, with the help of his mental power, took more than half an hour before he began to approach the three rocky mountains.
However, Zhao Ze is already very satisfied, he only rushes on two legs, and has almost caught up with the sprint speed of the athlete's 100-meter run, just from this point of view, the mental power is really worthy of its title of "universal ability".
Just as Zhao Ze was about to enter the fortress area, several modified vehicles that looked like they were welded into iron sheets rushed out and drove towards Zhao Ze from a distance.
Zhao Ze immediately stopped the "gazelle jump" and greeted him at the speed of an ordinary person's walking.
Probably because of his move, the immortal old Joe's subordinates felt very surprised.
These war boys - or sons of war - are brainwashed lunatics, and often those they target are reduced to slavery or blood banks.
In this case, if there are still people who are not afraid of them, there are only those in Gasoline Town and Bullet Farm.
So who will this young man in front of him, who is neatly dressed and dressed completely different from this era?
It's funny to say that in the original plot, Max's world couldn't find a single Asian person! African-Americans are also pitifully rare, and only a few dark-skinned ones can be faintly seen among those slaves who have been oppressed by the undead old Joe for a long time.
And the real yellow-skinned Asian face, Zhao Ze counted and didn't find one.
So he was very curious now, the war boys on the other side who were covered in white paint, had they ever seen Asians?
A few minutes later, the two sides engaged in a hand-to-hand confrontation - or more accurately, a confrontation with each other.
Zhao Ze didn't put on any hostile appearance, just put his hands in his pockets, looking leisurely, on the other hand, the war boys on the opposite few cars were like facing a great enemy, as if they had seen a monster they had never seen before.
In the stalemate, a war boy jumped out of the car and walked towards Zhao Ze with a "spear" in his hand.
"Who are you? This is the territory of the undead old Joe, if you want to go to Petrol Town or Bullet Farm......"
"I'm not going to Gasoline Town and Bullet Farm, I'm here to meet Immortal Old Joe."
Zhao Ze didn't think that what he was holding in his hand was really long hair, this thing was an extra-long detonator wrapped in explosives, it seemed that the other party was obviously wary, otherwise he wouldn't have come over with this thing.
What made Zhao Ze feel the most funny was that he was only one person, although everyone could see the two guns on his body, he was only one person after all, and there were more than a dozen people on the other side.
In this case, why do these war boys, who have no sense of fear in the film and ******** think of "witnessing" themselves - that is, suicide - show obvious fear?
What exactly are they afraid of?
Zhao Ze never thought that they would be afraid of themselves, this kind of idea is too ridiculous.
The war boy standing across from him suddenly made a fierce look, "Get out of here now, stranger!" Immortal Old Joe won't see you, and if you stay here, I'll give you some color! ”
Zhao Ze shrugged, "Okay, I'll find Commander Freosa, she should be here, right?" ”
The war boy's face changed, his eyes stared at Zhao Ze fiercely, and he said for a long time: "You just stand here and wait, don't get even half a step closer to the fortress!" With that, he turned back to the car, and the group let out all kinds of strange shouts and returned to the rocky mountain.
