Chapter 011: Botanical Garden (I)
In Guo Ge's binoculars, the survivors who hid in the gas station, regardless of men, women and children, were all desperately moving counters and boxes of gas station gift cartons, blocking the glass gates, and defending against zombie attacks.
And there are more and more zombies outside the gas station.
Fortunately, the road side of the convenience store was tightly blocked by abandoned cars, but there were more than a dozen zombies chasing Master Tong, and after a few circles around the cars on the convenience store road, they blindly followed the group of zombies to the gas station.
Guo Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
But he knew that the real trouble was not yet to come, but it was not far off.
Returning to the living room and closing the balcony door, he vaguely heard the door opening and closing on the third floor. It was probably Young Master Tong who took a certain woman back to the room on the third floor.
It was noon. Guo Ge walked into the kitchen, took rice to cook, and cooked rice for one person on an outdoor portable stove, which only took 20-25 minutes.
If the heat is medium, one tank of gas can last more than three hours.
Guo Ge bought a box of this flat kettle-type gas tank at one time in an outdoor goods store. A whole hundred cans. If he only used it alone, one tank of gas could be used for three or four days, and a hundred cans of gas could be used for a year.
Then the boiler was lit with solid alcohol, and there were many cured goods during the Spring Festival, and the whole wall of a storage room was hung with bacon, cured chicken, preserved fish, and sausages. There are also piles of turnips, cabbage, potatoes, garlic and other greens on the ground, including two cartons of dehydrated vegetables.
This dehydrated dish is the "green food" he prepared for the future.
Thirty minutes later, a hot pot with pork ribs stewed with radish and cabbage was baked, and he slowly ate two bowls of rice under the sound of gunfire in the city.
After the meal, he prepared hot milk and warm water for "Weiwei" again, pushed the door and walked into the second bedroom.
The little yellow dog was still lying in the same place, and when it heard the sound of the doorknob turning, it prick up its ears vigilantly and tilted its head.
It's just that it saw Guo Ge coming in, and immediately prostrate on the ground, staring at him blankly.
A man and a dog just looked at each other.
Guo Ge squatted in front of the puppy and reached out to hand out milk powder and drinking water to it.
The puppy just glanced at the two small bowls and was indifferent, seemingly completely uninterested in the food.
"Hey! Still playing petty? Guo Ge's hand stepped forward and sent it again. It must be pleased, this is the guardian beast he found for himself, with this guardian beast that can be a sentry and can be assaulted, even if he does not have teamwork in the future, he can survive alone in the last days.
Otherwise, it is difficult to imagine how a person can survive in the last days without means of transportation and companions.
The puppy ignored his "almost" movements, squinted his eyes, and remained motionless, but the puppy's slightly deflated belly fluctuated violently, and the puppy's hunger period was far faster than that of an adult dog.
In the end, it is a ninth-level king beast that can stand at the top of the food chain in the future! At a young age, he already highlights an extraordinary perseverance.
Guo Ge grinned and reached out to stroke its shaggy hair.
This time, I don't know if the puppy didn't have the strength to dodge, or if it didn't bother to dodge and let Guo Ge's hand fall on its head.
"Alright! Bub. I have no ill will towards you, if I don't rescue you from the base in advance, you may be starving and dying in the kennel and no one cares about you......" Guo Ge planned to take away the dog's special drinking utensils again, but he stretched out half of it and suddenly retracted it.
"Gotcha! What am I angry with you, you are in the human world, you are a milk baby, you are embarrassed to eat in front of me, I will go out, you think about it slowly. Guo Ge knows that military dogs are different from ordinary dogs, and if they eat the food given by anyone, it means that they have recognized their master.
Otherwise, you won't open your mouth if you starve to death.
If it is an adult military dog, Guo Ge will not consider it, it will not be familiar with it.
"I have to go to the botanical garden, a day as fast as possible, or two or three days as slow as possible, and the food will be placed here, whether it is life or death, you choose." Guo Ge rubbed the puppy's hair again, got up and walked out of the house.
Out of the second bedroom, Guo Ge prepared food and drinking water for two or three days, an emergency bag, binoculars, mountain knives, large steel crossbows and other equipment, changed into an outdoor cold-proof jacket, hiking shoes, and carried a folding off-road bicycle, and opened the door to leave the room.
When I walked through the third and second floors, there was no sound inside. I was probably stunned by the tragic scene on the national highway just now. Hide in the house, lest the noise alarm the zombie group opposite.
Carefully unlock the courtyard door, the air outside is filled with a strange smell.
Guo Ge frowned, and chose to walk from the alley between the houses at the back of the courtyard to the river in the back.
On the Heti, ride more than ten miles along the Heti, which is where the Linjiang Botanical Garden is located.
The house where Guo Ge lives belongs to the foundation of a certain village, and there are only three rows of private houses in front and back, and the flow of people is not dense, and it is not as good as an ordinary small residential community.
Passing through the two rows of private rooms, I occasionally encountered a few zombies rushing out of the half-hidden door, that is, a few swings of the mountain knife.
On the river, there are still abandoned cars at the end of the three bridges, and the sound of car engines can be heard from the other side of the bridge intermittently, and it is estimated that there are still sporadic survivors who want to break out of the city.
Heti is barely a two-lane road, the road seems to be smooth, and occasionally a few rolling vehicles can be seen under Heti, but there are not many vehicles blocking the road on Heti.
After all, this river is not a traffic artery, and there is not much traffic in normal times.
However, in the direction of the city on the opposite side of the river, there has always been thick smoke, and on the opposite side of the river, you will often hear screams for help, the figures of the survivors fleeing, and the zombies chasing and intercepting around them.
He got on his bike and galloped along the river.
On the right hand side of Heti is a farmland and a forest in the distance, usually sparsely populated, and occasionally you can see the vegetable greenhouses in the farmland, except for a few zombies wandering in the farmland, no living people are encountered.
When passing by a "strawberry greenhouse", he vaguely saw a figure in a caretaker hut dangling at the door, but when he stared at it again, there was no movement.
Whether it is a survivor or a zombie, as long as they don't take the initiative to come out to trouble him, he is also happy to save his strength.
After riding for about ten minutes, he finally saw the river with a huge signboard, the Linjiang Botanical Garden.
One arrow points to the right - three hundred meters.
Guo Ge turned right along a large flower bed turntable. Finally see the long electric gates and ticket windows of the Botanical Gardens, as well as a large parking lot.
At this time, only two family cars and a minibus were seen in the parking lot, and there were several electric cars and motorcycles in the carport.
In summer, spring and autumn, there are still many visitors to the botanical garden.
Even during the cold Spring Festival, it is not uncommon for people to come to play with their families. These three cars were either owned by the botanical garden staff or dropped here by tourists.
Guo Ge lowered his riding speed and came to the ticket gate, through the glass window, he didn't see a figure, there was silence all around, and there was no sound at all.
He looked up at the botanical garden's sightseeing guide map and the introductory pictures and texts on the side.
The Linjiang Botanical Garden was built six years ago, and according to the plan, it will not be officially completed until ten years later. Speaking of which, although the scale of this botanical garden is not as large as the Wuhan Botanical Garden in the provincial capital, it also ranks second in Beihu, that is, in the entire Central China region, and it is also among the top eight.
In terms of land area alone, it covers an area of 80 hectares, which is the first in Central China.
The botanical garden has planted and introduced more than 1,200 species of exotic and endangered plants.
At present, the three major scenic spots are divided into tropical plant area, desert plant area, and aquatic plant area. It also includes a landscape greenhouse and the landscape of plant communities in the Three Gorges Rising Belt.
Guo Ge's goal is in the landscape of the plant community in the Three Gorges Rising Belt.
He read the route clearly, folded his bicycle, hid in the dense bushes, raised his already wound steel crossbow, and walked into the botanical garden.
Not long after entering the botanical garden, he heard a roar of "snort" coming from the pavilion on the right.
