Chapter 34: Accidental Injury
On the way, Cao Qianqian was sent home, and the two came to Building 15 of Jingyue Community smoothly.
"What floors do you live on?" Huang Jiahui asked without words, a little apprehensive in her heart. It was the first time she had gone to the home of a man she had never met before, and she even had to stay for a few days.
"Fourth floor." Luo Yuan closed the iron door on the ground floor and turned around.
"You're living with her now?" Huang Jiahui stroked the hanging bangs and said tentatively.
"Who, you mean Zhao Yali? She has now returned to her hometown. Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, and when he talked about Zhao Yali, his face was a little unnatural, and he quickly changed the topic and said: "The bed is still there, and you will live in that room when the time comes." ”
He saw that Huang Jiahui also held the rifle, and continued: "You hid the rifle for a while, and being seen by others may cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes." ”
Although with the terrible situation in Donghu City, even if someone calls the police, I am afraid that the police will not be able to deal with this matter, but he still wants to live here, and it is not a bad thing to be careful.
"Oh!" Huang Jiahui replied and stuffed the rifle into the suitcase.
The two quickly walked up to the fourth floor, and Luo Yuan glanced keenly at the security door opposite. There was a small movement inside, and after a while, the security door opened, and Master Wang stood at the door, as if the little grass that was being abused by the wind was crying: "Uncle, my parents haven't come back yet, I'm so afraid." ”
Her big eyes looked at Luo Yuan, and he couldn't help but soften in his heart, and said, "Why don't you come to my house for a while." ”
"Well, Uncle Xie Xie!" Master Wang responded timidly.
Huang Jiahui felt a little sorry in her heart, pulled Master Wang, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful little girl, what grade are you in?" ”
"In the second year of junior high school, is my aunt my uncle's girlfriend?" Master Wang said curiously.
Huang Jiahui's face turned slightly red, and she regretted talking to the little girl, and covered up: "No, it's just an ordinary friend, I've been living here for a few days." ”
Luo Yuan ignored the whispers of the two women, inserted the key and opened the door, which was a mess, and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony and other windows had all been shattered.
Luo Yuan carefully checked it and confirmed that nothing had entered it. He went into the kitchen again, turned on the gas stove, and stared at the light blue flame as it quickly faded and disappeared, and he cursed fiercely in his heart.
It seems that something really has happened.
"Xiao Luo, shall I go take a shower first?" Huang Jiahui's voice came from outside.
Luo Yuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait and wash again!" ”
He walked back and forth a few steps.
"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan with a busy look and said puzzled. She was shocked and scared today, she was spinning in life and death several times, and she didn't know how many times she broke out in a cold sweat, and her body was still damp, which made her very uncomfortable.
"You said that the gas was cut off, and the water would not be cut off next. The waterworks are located in the city, and they will definitely be attacked, and if no one manages them, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be no water. Luo Yuan thought for a while, then stopped and said in a deep voice. Ignoring Huang Jiahui's flustered look, she rushed into the bathroom and turned on the faucet.
Watching the water gush down the faucet, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Help me bring the plastic bucket from the balcony, as well as the basin." ”
"Oh, good!" Huang Jiahui hurriedly ran out.
There are quite a lot of basins at home, except for Luo Yuan's own plastic bucket and a basin, after Zhao Yali left, these basins were left behind, a total of two plastic buckets and four basins of water.
As for which basin is to wash feet and which basin is to wash face, at this time, no one cares.
After he had filled all the containers with water, he said, "Now you can take a bath, while there is still water, take a good bath, and if you want to take a bath in the future, it will not be so easy." ”
Huang Jiahui took out her clothes silently and walked into the bathroom.
"Uncle, did you say that the end of the world has come?" Master Wang whispered.
"Who did you listen to?" Luo Yuan turned around and asked.
"I can see it." Master Wang said with a flat mouth.
"The end of the world is coming, aren't you afraid?" Luo Yuandao.
"What's the use of being afraid, my parents can't come back, right?" Wang Shishi hoped.
"Your mom and dad will be back, probably delayed." Luo Yuan touched her head and comforted.
"Uncle, you don't have to lie to me, I saw that many people in the community were eaten by big insects, and even the bones were swallowed." When Master Wang said this, his body trembled slightly, but he still looked at Luo Yuan stubbornly.
Luo Yuan's hand paused slightly, and he didn't know how to comfort Lu Dao, but when he thought that she was already in the second year of junior high school, she should already be considered an adult, and it was time to accept this cruel reality: "Do you want to learn to be strong and know Lu Dao, even if your parents are no longer there, you have to live strongly." ”
"Yes!" Master Wang nodded vigorously, and tears quickly overflowed from his eyes.
"Okay, now go get a broom and sweep the glass that fell from the window?" Luo Yuandao.
Master Wang snorted, answered, picked up the broom and dustpan in the corner, and secretly wiped his tears while sweeping the glass.
Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, then walked into the storage room and found a toolbox. Axes, hammers, scissors, nails, all the tools inside.
He walked to the living room, drew his sword, and split the solid wood table for eating into planks, and the rest of the hard-to-use scraps were chopped into firewood. He took out a plank, went to the window, compared it, and took out a nail and a hammer, and struck it with a clang.
Although there is an anti-theft iron frame outside the window, such a fragile protection can't even stop a thief, let alone a green beetle. Of course, even adding a layer of wood planks won't help, but if you finally add an extra layer of protection, you can have a psychological comfort, at least you can block the sight of the green beetle and other small creatures.
After a while, Huang Jiahui changed into a set of home clothes and walked out, she looked at the busy Luo Yuan and Master Wang, and immediately came over to help.
Luo Yuan hurriedly stopped: "I don't need your help here, it's not too early, you go cook, the rice is in the kitchen, you look for it, by the way, I'll give you the lighter?" ”
He looked up at her Huang Jiahui, who had just finished taking a shower, and looked extremely attractive, the loose loungewear couldn't stop the huge crisp breasts at all, the soft and slender waist and the plump and round buttocks made people think about it, like a peach with dewdrops.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and motioned for Master Wang to bring another plank.
Huang Jiahui subconsciously took the lighter, but immediately reacted, now there is no gas, cooking can only be firewood, she picked up a pile of firewood, walked to the kitchen, took out an aluminum alloy pressure cooker, and found rice from the cupboard, but when the fire was lit, she was stunned, I don't know what to do. Although she has participated in several picnics, things like lighting a fire have been taken care of by dedicated gay men, and she has never done anything herself.
Huang Jiahui: "Where do you put the firewood?" You can't put it on the ground, can you? ”
"Find a pot and put it in the pot."
Another moment.
Huang Jiahui: "I can't light the fire, can you come and take a look?" ”
"Dip the wood in oil and order it again." Luo Yuan continued.
It didn't take long for a pungent smell of smoke to come from the kitchen, Luo Yuan didn't pay much attention to it at first, and lit a fire in the kitchen, some of the smoke smell was normal, but the smell of smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and soon Luo Yuan and Wang Shishi were choked with tears and snot.
Luo Yuan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen, and suddenly became happy, the pressure cooker was completely pressed on the pot, Huang Jiahui carried the handle of the pressure cooker in his hand, raised it slightly, exhaled and blew, and his red eyes loomed in the smoke, like a pitiful rabbit in the fog.
"What are you doing, the air is not circulating, and you still want to light a fire." It's really long hair and short knowledge, Luo Yuan didn't have the courage to pick up Huang Jiahui.
"I haven't lit a fire, how do I know this?" Huang Jiahui said with a face full of grievances, with a dirty and black face, like a resentful cat
"Then learn a little, and I'll leave the cooking to you later." Luo Yuandao.
Huang Jiahui didn't dare to refute, she knew the danger outside, and only by following a powerful man like Luo Yuan could she feel a little safer, which was also one of the reasons why she wanted to live with him in the first place, and it was the most important reason.
Luo Yuan walked to the bedroom and removed the hanger in Zhao Yali's bedroom.
Divide two iron shelves, one at the bottom of the pot, and fix it. He bent a few metal bars one by one, put them on the edge of the pot and raised them, re-lit them, and when the firewood was in full bloom, he put another iron shelf on the iron pot, and then put the pressure cooker on the shelf.
"Okay, that's it, I'll leave it to me!" Huang Jiahui saw that the fire was already burning, so she said happily.
"Yes!" Luo Yuan nodded.
Walking to the living room, Luo Yuan continued to be busy, there were not enough wooden boards on the table, only staring at the two windows, the materials were not enough, Luo Yuan split the coffee table again, and continued to nail the windows.
The evolved chopper is extremely sharp, almost close to the limit of metal hardness that modern technology can achieve, and it is very easy to cut through wood as if it were nothing. Master Wang looked at Luo Yuan with a look of surprise and a strange green knife to split a coffee table into wooden boards, and it felt like it was split on tofu, and he forgot to cry for a while.
As the windows were sealed one by one, the room gradually dimmed.
Except for the kitchen window, which was not nailed with wooden planks because it needed to remove the smoke, only the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony remained.
Looking at the floor-to-ceiling window, Luo Yuan scratched his head a little, there didn't seem to be such a long plank here.
Luo Yuan, who was a little crazy, looked left and right, and finally put his eyes on the door.
What kind of door is it good to dismantle, the bedroom door, or the toilet door, as if one is not enough, or all of them will be demolished? Luo Yuan thought about it and decided to take a look at the situation first, even if there were four or five ordinary green beetles, Luo Yuan was confident that he could still deal with them.
As the evening approached, Master Wang's face became more and more sad, and she paid attention to the movement outside the door from time to time, and she stood up several times, but sat down disappointed.
Huang Jiahui moved a small table out of the bedroom and put on a bowl of rice, two salted duck eggs cut into four petals, a plate of mustard, and a plate of heated braised beef (canned). Although these dishes were nothing in the past, they seem a bit extravagant at this time.
"Let's eat!" Luo Yuan greeted and took the lead in moving his chopsticks.
Master Wang seemed a little absent-minded, occasionally staring at the food in a daze. Even Huang Jiahui didn't react when she talked to her.
After eating, Luo Yuan lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, no one noticed that the sweat on his forehead kept coming out.
After a cigarette was finished, he pressed the cigarette butt out and said in a deep voice: "Master, you can sleep with your Aunt Huang today, don't think too much." ”
"Uncle Xie Lu, Uncle Xie!" Master Wang put down his chopsticks and sobbed quietly.
Luo Yuan sighed, but without comfort, he got up and walked slowly towards his room.
As soon as he walked into the bedroom, he immediately lay down on the bed, his face twisted.
In fact, not long after he arrived home, the excitable effect of rat meat had already begun to wane, and now there was not much left of this effect, which could be sustained until now, by virtue of his strong will and intentional diversion effect.
Now, once you relax, the pain will come in waves like a tide.
He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.
Half an hour later.
"Drop, will +1!"
Listening to the information from the system in his mind, the corners of Luo Yuan's mouth pulled weakly, and gradually his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep in a semi-coma after a while.
Luo Yuan was woken up by the sound of cannons and the ubiquitous buzz.
"What's going on?"
He took the chopping knife placed at the head of the bed, quickly got up, and after a night's rest, although his chest was a little stuffy, it had greatly improved, and his movement was unhindered. He walked to the window and opened the curtains, but when he saw the tightly closed windows, he was stunned, and remembered that all the windows in the house had been nailed.
He hurriedly opened the door and saw Huang Jiahui and Master Wang standing in the corner of the wall, cautiously looking at the Chaoyang Terrace.
His heart tightened.
Walk to the balcony and look out.
Just by looking at it, he froze.
The sky was full of flying green beetles, which seemed to be a little irritable, hovering overhead. The sound of artillery could be heard faintly in the distance.
Seeing Luo Yuan coming, Huang Jiahui and Master Wang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and their faces improved.
"The army is coming." Huang Jiahui's voice suppressed excitement: "We are saved." ”
Luo Yuan is also excited in his heart, after the large-scale army enters Donghu City, the situation in Donghu City will definitely improve greatly, maybe it won't be long before the green beetles here can be swept away, whether it is a green beetle or a mutant beast, no matter how strong it is, it can't compete with the prepared modern army, this is not a war at the same level at all.
At this time, a flash of light flashed in mid-air, and a missile, in the air not far from the community, exploded, bursting out of a fiery red mushroom cloud, and a huge shock wave made the nearby green beetles like rootless duckweed, violently scattered, and some of them that were slightly closer to the center of the explosion began to fall apart in mid-air.
Luo Yuan felt that the building was constantly trembling, and a scorching strong wind was blowing from outside the balcony.
A brief blank space flashed through his mind, and it was hard for a person born in peace to imagine everything in front of him.
He'd only seen it in a video, when he could leisurely admire the power of modern weapons over a snack and even give his opinion on the forum. But I never thought that when I was there, I would be shocked from the bottom of my heart.
One missile had just exploded, and two more with long tail flames exploded one after another in the nearby air, and in an instant, the green beetles in the area around the explosion were swept away.
A few minutes later, several wheeled armored vehicles rumbled from the street in the distance.
The 30mm cannon at the top of the armored vehicle stretched straight into the sky, and a light several meters long sprayed into the air at high speed without stopping.
The loud noise made Luo Yuan's eardrums vibrate constantly.
A few remnants of the green beetles were swept by the light flames, and they were immediately torn to pieces, and countless flowers and green residues of liquid were sprinkled down from the air.
The cannon kept turning, and several times unconsciously swept through the surrounding high-rise buildings, pulling out fragmented gaps, and even the walls were swept through.
Luo Yuan looked at this scene, a little stunned, and it wasn't until a long time later that he woke up suddenly, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
The building was facing the commercial street in front of it, and the fragile walls of the civilian buildings here would not be able to block the cannon from penetrating if the cannon fired at it.
"We can't stay here, let's go!" Luo Yuan said hurriedly, his face gloomy.
In modern warfare, unless the army is willing to pay a huge price and pile up the lives of a large number of soldiers, it is difficult to avoid "accidental injury" to civilians. With the current situation, I am afraid that the upper echelons are no longer thinking about trivial matters such as accidentally injuring civilians, but to clean up these green beetles as soon as possible and maintain social stability.
But even when he thought of this, Luo Yuan still felt the anger of detachment. Anything that involves oneself is difficult to maintain a rational and objective state of mind.
Huang Jiahui also realized it, she hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, and when she came out, she was already holding a rifle in her hand, and she said in a trembling voice: "Where to go?" ”
Luo Yuan walked towards the gate and said quickly: "Go to the ground floor, at least it's safer than here." ”
"Good!"
Master Wang was already stunned, like an unconscious rag doll, her face was bloodless, she stood here dumbfounded, motionless.
Luo Yuan looked at this scene, sighed in his heart, and said, "Give me the rifle, you hold her!" ”
Huang Jiahui answered, handed the rifle to Luo Yuan, hugged Mu Ran's Wang Shishi, and followed him out of the door.
As soon as I walked up the stairs, the sharp sound of a bullet passing through my ears exploded, and a row of transparent holes suddenly appeared next to the stairs, piercing back and forth.
The staircase was two or three stories away from the wall of the building, but it still couldn't stop the terrible bullets from the cannon.
Even Luo Yuan was so frightened that his heart was beating violently.
He looked at Huang Jiahui, who was standing on the spot with a pale face, and was slightly relieved to find that he was not injured.
"Don't be in a daze, let's go!" Luo Yuan snorted.
Huang Jiahui came back to her senses and hurriedly followed Luo Yuan to run down the stairs.
A minute later, the trio walked down the stairs.
In fact, Luo Yuan is not the only smart person, at this time, the bottom floor of the corridor is already filled with a bustling crowd, but as soon as he saw the rifle in Luo Yuan's hand, the crowd suddenly quieted down.
But that's about it.
No one screamed, no one flinched, not even scared, some just on guard.
As the world became more and more chaotic, people's acceptance also increased rapidly. Swords are just ordinary, and even if someone openly swings around with a gun, it's not a big fuss.
When Huang Jiahui put Master Wang down, Luo Yuan returned the rifle to him. Compared with his three-legged cat's kung fu, the rifle is more powerful in Huang Jiahui's hands.
"Quick, save her?" At this time, a middle-aged man on the stairs staggered towards a bloody woman in his arms.
The crowd quickly dispersed, squeezing into a large space.
The middle-aged man Si Swenwen, wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses that looked like an intellectual, his face was frightened and helpless at this time, he held the woman in his arms tightly, but the blood still kept dripping from his hands, connecting in a straight line. He gently carried the woman to the clearing.
"Which of you is a doctor, save her!" His eyes were red and he pleaded around.
Luo Yuan glanced at the injured woman, and turned his head unbearably.
The woman's eyes were closed, her face was as white as a dead man, and there was a fist-sized wound on her chest, pierced in front of her, and it was obviously hopeless.
"Please, save her, I can give money, no, food, I still have some food at home, all for you?" He looked at them one by one with a helpless expression.
The people around looked away.
One of them couldn't bear to say: "Such a wound can't be saved even if it is sent to the hospital now, let's mourn and change!" ”
His body shook, a trace of deep sorrow flashed on his face, he seemed to want to touch her cheek, his hand just reached the air but began to tremble, he suddenly howled, and cursed angrily: "These bastards who are careless of human life! ”
There was a suppressed silence from the crowd.
