Chapter 2: Moving in together
It took his wife Qiao Cui two minutes to digest what Su San said, she looked at the sleeping Doudou, then looked at Su San, and asked in a panic:
"What should I do?"
Su San stretched out his hand and pressed Qiao Cui's shoulder, and said slowly:
"Don't be in a hurry. What do you have to eat at home? ”
"I just bought a five-yuan steamed bun at the commissary last night. Others are noodles, millet, rice, cornmeal, vermicelli. By the way, there are a few catties of white noodles, a handful of beans, and a piece of pork..."
Su San saw that Qiao Cui was talking endlessly, knowing that she was already panicking, and said calmly:
"You just said you could eat for a few days, right?"
Qiao Cui glanced at Su San in a daze, and after a pause, he said:
"Four or five days, you can eat for seven days if you save food."
Su San smiled helplessly. The wife counted the rations for three people. My son is in the first grade of primary school, and after the exam, he sleeps with his grandfather and uncle every day, and she doesn't count him.
"Take care of Doudou, I'll go out."
"Where are you going?"
"Make a few phone calls outside, don't worry, I won't be stupid to run down the street."
The phone can be called, the TV can be watched, and the electricity is still available. This shows that the matter is not irreparably serious. There must be zombies, but there are more alive.
Su San came to the living room and called his younger brother. After asking him a few questions, he understood the situation in the west of the village.
It was six o'clock in the morning, and the fog outside had lifted.
There were seven wandering zombies in the west of the village, plus a total of ten that I saw. For a village of more than 2,000 people, ten zombies can't do anything.
There are six people in the family, including themselves, wife, daughter, son, younger brother, and father. The six people must not be separated from each other at the two ends of the village, but must eat and live together, so that they can take care of each other.
Su San climbed onto the roof and looked at the more than 20 wandering zombies on the street.
So the number of zombies is 30 instead of 10.
In addition to the zombies, there were people lying on the roofs of several houses, and Su San could clearly see their heads dangling on the ladder. It seems that they have also noticed that things are not normal.
"Su San, is it the end of the world?"
The bungalows in the countryside are all connected row by row, and it is his neighbor Liu Zhenzhen to the west who is talking to Su San now. His husband was out on a long run and didn't come back last night.
"Where's your husband?"
Su San asked worriedly.
"I called, and he was stuck in traffic on the highway and couldn't get out. It is estimated that I will not be able to come back in two or three days. ”
"What about the kids?"
Like Su San, Liu Zhenzhen's family is also a son and a daughter.
"Sleep in bed."
"Plug in the door, don't go out, don't make a noise. Call your parents and brother. ”
"I know."
After speaking, Liu Zhenzhen cautiously went down the ladder, for fear of making a sound.
Uncle Wang on the back street was wandering in front of his house, and no one wanted to attract his attention.
The situation is clear to Su San, there are 30 zombies that can be seen outside, and I don't know how many there are that can't be seen. Originally, he planned to go to his father's place to help them move things, but he was really worried about his wife and children at home.
The men of Liu Zhenzhen's family in the west are not at home, and in the east are two uncles and aunts in their sixties, and the children are living in the city. He's the only male here. Once he leaves, what if something happens.
Su San went back to the living room to call his brother.
"Listen, we can't live separately, we have to move together. My house here is newly built, and the house, courtyard wall and gate are stronger than the old one. You wake up our dad and Su Can, ride the battery car to me, I'll wait for you at the door, be careful! ”
Su San knew that this was very risky, but he had no choice but to let them break through.
Su Qi knew that the situation was urgent, and what the eldest brother said made sense, so he immediately agreed. It's six o'clock in the morning, the purple virus outbreak is only three hours old, and there are the least zombies on the streets.
If you want to do anything, you have to do it now, it's too late.
Taking advantage of this, Shen Lang went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and after turning it in his hand, he felt that he didn't take advantage of it, and it was not as good as the axe for chopping wood. He simply took the axe in his hand and stood behind the iron gate waiting for his brother to them.
Seven minutes later, the three of them came to the door of Su San's house, and Su San immediately opened the big iron door and let the three people in.
Su Qi has a splitting axe in his hand, his father has a boning knife in his hand, and even his son has a cone in his hand. Three people are ready to fight desperately.
With the three of them came the food from the battery car.
Noodles, vermicelli, rice, and much more. What made Su San happiest was that there was also a bag of white flour and four bags of fertilizer wheat.
The older generation in rural areas like to grind their own noodles and eat them. It's not that they know how to be natural and green, as long as they can't change their habits for a long time. Steamed buns, steamed buns, hand-rolled noodles and the like are all made by yourself.
Nowadays, life in the countryside is good, but there is also bartering. The phenomenon of exchanging wheat for a few catties of fritters, dozens of catties of watermelons, and soybeans for a few pieces of tofu is not much, but it also exists. Especially the older generation especially likes this. They feel that this saves money and is reassured. In fact, it's just a habit of life, and it doesn't save money at all.
Su San asked his father and son to go to the house, and the two of them carried the food from the battery car to the front desk.
Su San grabbed his younger brother and asked:
"How's it going?"
"Zombies saw us on the way here, but they just stood far away and didn't intend to eat us."
Su Sanyi slapped his face and said:
"That's good."
The abilities of the zombies are unclear at this point, but at least they don't actively attack the living, so that's easy to do.
"I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't take vegetables, meat and yogurt from the fridge. Two barrels of peanut oil and a bag of corn from the kitchen were also not loaded into the car. ”
The younger brother said distressedly.
Su San went back to the house to ask his father to pay attention to the roof and gate, and he wanted to go back to the old house with his younger brother.
In addition to food, the old house also had clothes, coal, and liquefied gas tanks, all of which needed to be moved. For them, even a match is precious.
The younger brother Su Qi was right, there were more than 20 zombies roaming the street, they were attracted by the sound of the battery car, but they just stood there and watched, and did not mean to attack them.
The brothers rushed into the old house, loaded the gas canisters, then two barrels of peanut oil and a whole bag of corn, and then packed up all the remaining things in the kitchen and put them in storage boxes. Don't be a picky eater at this time, a grain of salt is precious.
After packing up the food, Su San asked his younger brother to go to the house to pack up the sneakers and a change of clothes. He used a shovel to load coal on the battery car.
Since zombies don't attack people, they don't need to be afraid to make noise.
The battery cars in the countryside are all six batteries, large motors, and can pull more than 1,000 catties. It's no problem to run in the field with two or three bags of fertilizer, not to mention these things.
Three minutes later, the younger brother walked out with a big baggage.
Su Sanyi looked at it and said angrily:
"Are there so many summer clothes?"
Su Qi said with a smile:
"Plan for the worst, in case the zombies haven't been cleaned up in the winter."
Su Sanqi snatched the package and threw it to the ground.
"Needless to say, in winter, if you don't clean it up for three months, all the living people on the streets will die. When the time comes, the clothes of the whole village will be picked up and worn by you. Of course, you have to live to that point! ”
Su Qi was speechless by Su San's words.
If the zombies are not cleaned up, it proves that they are more than the living, not to mention the clothes at that time, the BMW Mercedes on the street can be driven casually, anyway, the owners are dead. Sorting out winter clothes is a pure waste of time.
Su Qi immediately threw out the thick clothes, put the package on the battery car, and helped his brother load coal together.
Winter has passed, and there are not many coal blocks left, with Su Qi's help, it can be done in two minutes.
"Dad's radio, candles, lighters, chargers, and power banks are all available?"
"Take it, it's all in the package."
Once the power is completely empty, the power bank and the phone can last for two more months (turn on the phone, the rest sleep). Especially my father's elderly machine, there is no problem with 20 days of standby. )。
During this time, mobile phones can do a lot of things, and maybe they can save lives.
"Is the water in the solar energy full?"
"Dissatisfied, I took a shower at night."
"While there is still electricity, fill up the water first, and I'll put water in the water cellar, quickly."
The solar energy is divided into hot water and cold water, so you can eat it for 10 days if it is full.
The water cellar holds more water, and it is no problem to eat it for a month.
This water is not the best to use, and in case of an accident, you will not find water to drink.
Half an hour later, the two of them finished cleaning up, and Su San went to the door to take a look. The zombies were still roaming the old place, and he asked his younger brother to drive and followed him with a shovel underneath.
If there is a zombie who doesn't have long eyes to give him a head, Su San will give him a ride with the shovel in his hand.
