Nuclear winter

Although the news was closed in the last days, over time, the term was gradually spread among the survivors through word of mouth.

Originally, this was just a hypothesis with a miscalculation, but no one thought that this hypothesis, which should not be true, has become a reality in front of them!

Some may know why, but for many survivors, it doesn't matter.

The only thing they care about is how to survive this protracted and harsh winter......

Looking up at the gray sky, Wu Lin seemed to be about to forget what the sun looked like, warmth, sunshine, order, happiness... These words seem to have been reduced to meaningless symbols with the end of the previous era.

Wu Lin: She is a "mouse".

The meaning of the word rat at the moment is no longer exclusive to rodents, because this creature has long since disappeared from people's sight in the process of alienation, and has been replaced by a ferocious beast the size of a soil dog with gray fur.

The survivors routinely call this creature "greyhound".

As for the title "rat", it is specially used to describe Wu Lin's group.

They have been living underground like rats for many years, and they rely on it on weekdays, picking up some "useful" materials in the ruins, and living in fear and hardship.

Useful here doesn't just mean food.

Of course, if they can get lucky enough to find a can of rusty tin can, it will also be a rare surprise for them.

However, most of the time, the items they can find are broken shoes, old clothes, batteries, steel bars, firewood... And so on. Once they find such things, they will take them to the various camps and exchange them for a little bit of subsistence with the black-hearted "merchants".

Although they know that they will be exploited by the other party, these people have no choice, because they are a group of "rats"!

This title means that they are a poor group of people who have not been able to evolve.

And Wu Lin is a very special existence in this group of people, not that she is powerful, but that her gender is very rare in the group of "rats"!

Because all women with a little beauty, even those men and children with beautiful faces, unless they are strong, otherwise, there are only two choices waiting for them.

Or become the forbidden side of some strongman.

Or they will join the camp and become cheap prostitutes.

Therefore, Wu Lin can become a "mouse", which can only show that she is ugly enough!

It's so ugly that those men are not willing to pay even a small piece of jerky for her!

In fact, just looking at her figure, Wu Lin can be regarded as a middle-aged person, but her cheeks full of sarcoma really make people not interested in anything!

This situation is not unique to her.

Under long-term nuclear radiation, almost all ordinary survivors will have some lesions such as blisters and sarcomas all over the body to a greater or lesser extent. And Wu Lin's lesion happened to appear in the acne area of her cheeks, which made her different from other women, unable to live "easily" with two legs and one leg.

"Wu Lin, don't look at it! It is estimated that the wind will blow for seven or eight days, and the cornfield will not be able to go in a short time! Just when Wu Lin lost his mind, a hoarse and slightly old voice came from behind him.

Whenever the weather "improves" and the biting cold wind stops for a while, these "rats" will come out in groups to search for those areas that were once farmland, and collect strong and surviving grains. And the cornfield in this mouth is a hidden place that they stumbled upon two months ago.

"There aren't a few corn trees in that area, if we don't do it, I'm afraid we'll be doomed by the greyhounds!" Wu Lin sighed and said.

"It's better to be hungry for a few days than to freeze to death outside! Let's wait! Behind her, a younger voice was heard.

Hearing this, Wu Lin raised her hand tightly, her collar was already dirty to shiny, and then through the skylight that was only one palm wide, she looked at the sky outside and said, "Uncle Li, do you think that the three condoms we put down can catch the greyhound?" ”

"Hey...", the person she called Uncle Li, just said 'hey', and before he could say the next words, he heard Wu Lin say eagerly, "Shhh! ”

Seeing that she was so nervous, the people in the "room" immediately listened silently.

After a while, I saw Wu Lin turn around and ask, "Did you all hear it?" ”

"It's like an explosion!" An unkempt middle-aged man said.

"If you can get explosives this year, and dare to detonate them in the ruins, you say, will it be the people of Venice?" The person who spoke, his face was withered, and his body was thin and thin, as if a strong wind could blow it out for three miles.

"Liu San, are you hungry? Those bastards in Venice, who are more cautious than us when they go out, can do such a reckless thing? A young man in a felt hat retorted.

"No matter who lit the explosives, there will definitely be corpses left nearby," the unkempt middle-aged man muttered.

Hearing the word "corpse", the people in the "house" suddenly looked at the skylight with bright eyes!

For their group of "rats", as long as there are corpses left, it means meat that can be eaten to a full meal!

As for whether the corpse belonged to a survivor, or a greyhound or a toothed wolf......

Heavy or?

So, Liu San immediately instigated, "Lao Li, let's hurry up and take a look?" If you go late, maybe this corpse will be gnawed clean by Wu Bald and them! ”

The bald man Wu in Liu San's mouth is the leader of another group of "rats", and their activity area is also near here. On weekdays, these two "rat" teams have a lot of friction in the process of collecting supplies.

Thinking that the explosion point should not be far away, the unkempt middle-aged man, after some struggle, finally nodded and said, "Hurry up and clean up the guys, don't let Wu Bald take the lead!" ”

……

In the northeast corner of this ruined city, there used to be a high-tech industrial park covering an extremely large area, in which there were as many as seven or eight Fortune 500 companies alone, and even more so for those small and medium-sized enterprises.

However, these are the old yellow calendars before the end of the world.

At this time, the industrial park, even the landmark high gate, turned into a pile of rubble, buried under the gray-white "dirty snow" along with the era in that memory.

When Wu Lin's group of rats rushed to this place following the sound, they saw that in this ruined land, a huge pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a depth of more than ten meters had been "blown up"!

And in the center of the giant crater, there is still a dark viscous fog!

"Such a huge crater, could it be made by explosives?"

"Even if it's the work of explosives, how can the sound be so slight?"

"Aside from the reason for the formation of the giant pit, just saying that it is foggy in this kind of weather is already contrary to common sense, and then looking at the color of this fog, it is still black and misty, like ......substance," Wu Lin and others thought suspiciously.
