004: The End of the World
"I haven't had clean water in a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Rudong's mouth and tongue moved slightly, and he spit out a button the size of a small thumb knuckle from under his tongue, smiled, and threw the button stained with some saliva to the ground.
"I don't think you're a scavenger in this scavengers' circle, right?" Li Rudong said with a smile.
Tian Si obviously felt that this Li Rudong, who looked quite friendly, actually did not deviate from himself in personality and habits, if he changed roles, in such a scene, if he was Li Rudong, he would have a very similar performance, but Li Rudong's problems were one after another, but Tian Si, who didn't know the situation, had to sort out his thoughts well.
Before he came here, the words of the owner of the mirror shop were still to be examined.
But the world he was in now was by no means the peaceful era he was familiar with.
Shelters, scavengers, and water-scarce humans are all combined, and Tian Mi, who has lived in a peaceful modern life for so many years, naturally thinks of some plots that can only be described in novels.
"Could it be that this is the end times?" Tami's tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth. "No matter where you are, the top priority now is to gain Li Rudong's trust, and it is obviously not a wise choice to extract information from him...... Let him take me to safety. ”
"Hey...... Don't mention it. Tian Si's thoughts turned sharply, and before Li Rudong became suspicious, he sighed violently.
Li Rudong was stunned.
"The small settlement I stayed in before......" Tian Si was very sad, and his words were half short.
"Could it be that he was attacked by the catastrophants?" Li Rudong hurriedly asked.
Tian Si glanced to the side, looking very depressed, Li Rudong on the side understood that he had poked other people's sore spots, and hurriedly patted Tian Si's back and said with relief: "Brother, mourn." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, in this world, you always have to get used to it." Tian Si keenly captured the title of "catastrophant", and he silently wrote it down.
"Brother, if you don't dislike it, go back to 701 with me, after all, there are not many people who can survive in this world, let's get together, one more person, more strength, and a little more possibility of survival." Li Rudong said.
Tian Si wished he would say this, but to make a play, he had to do a full set, as soon as Li Rudong said this, Tian Si was not in a hurry to agree, he thought for a while, and then nodded slowly, "Brother Li, can you tell me about the situation of this 701?" Don't touch any taboos at that time. ”
Tian Si's idea is that he doesn't ask questions that sound like basic common sense, this kind of knowledge that he may not touch, and then ask Li Rudong, not only will Li Rudong be suspicious, but he can also say a few more words with this Li Rudong and shorten the distance between the two.
Maybe it was the looks of the two that shortened the distance between the two, although Li Rudong was a little guarded, he knew everything about the problem.
"Inside 701? Brother, let me tell you about this 701 first, 701 is the strongest one in the settlement around here, the owner of the settlement, before the end of the world, he was a soldier in the army, and the name of the settlement seems to have evolved through the army he was in at the beginning, π when the virus broke out, the people in the army were strong, and there were also 180 people who had the ability to successfully carry the virus, so the strength of the 701 settlement was very strong in this neighborhood from the beginning, and now 701 is already a settlement with thousands of people gathering, It is also the well-deserved number one tribe in this neighborhood, and you should know these brothers. When Li Rudong said this, there was a hint of pride in his eyebrows and eyes.
Tian Si listened on the side, and his heart was also surging up and down.
If it is said that 701 is an evolution of the name of the unit, then does it not mean...... Tian Si suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Could it be that this is a world of mirrors?" He was amazed.
701, Qilin Wing, this in peacetime, this name is thunderous in the urban area, almost everyone in China knows this mysterious special forces, but no one knows what this 701 does.
But others don't know, how could Tian Si, who has been locked up in the prison of Qilin Wing for a whole month, not know the true situation of this unit - it is just a laboratory driving the empty shell of the army, as for what he is studying, Tian Si has not been able to learn the news from others, but he knows that Qilin Wing is not a good place, and even Tian Si feels that it has tarnished the sacred sense of the word "Qilin".
"The current 701 is divided into two classes, the inner layer and the outer layer - the inner layer of people are all awakened people, and the outer level of people are ordinary people like us who have no power and are scavenging for survival in the last days." Li Rudong said to himself, but when he said this, he paused and asked, "Brother, are you an awakened one?" I look at you like this, your usual life should be pretty good, right? ”
"Huh?" Tian Si woke up from his own world, and after hearing Li Rudong's words, he waved his hand and said, "Awakened? Oh no, I'm just a normal person, but I'm just a little luckier than everyone else in the settlement. ”
"Luck is also part of strength!" Li Rudong smiled, and he subconsciously looked at his wrist.
He had a bracelet on his wrist, and he didn't know which one he had detached the watch from in the middle of the bracelet, so he used a rope as a strap.
"It's not too early, brother, you just follow me, and when you go back to the settlement later, if you have any problems, I'll tell you."
Tian Si nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Li." ”
"Out of the way, out of the way!" Li Rudong waved his hand and said with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Li, I saw you come out to find water, what's wrong? Don't you even have water to drink in the settlement? Tian Si said as he walked.
"Hey, since the water source was polluted, the people in the settlement have been worrying about the problem of water purification, the amount of the purifier inside the 701 is only enough for the internal personnel to consume every day, and we peripheral members can only get a small part every day, but this little water can't even get over the mouth, and there are people who are dying of thirst in the periphery of the settlement almost every day...... I was also very thirsty, so I thought I would come out and find something to drink. Li Rudong said.
"Then why don't you get two purifiers up there?"
"I don't know about this, after all, I'm just a peripheral member, and even this news, I heard from a businessman who does business in the inner layer, and I don't know if it's true or not, but the settlement has indeed been sending less and less water recently." Li Rudong's tone revealed worry. "Let's hope the people in the inner layer can come up with a solution."
"Okay......" Tian Si's question was over here, he was afraid that no matter how much he spoke, there would be something wrong that would cause Li Rudong's suspicion.
The only thing that made him feel a little pity was that when he came here, although he was wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, he really didn't bring much things, except for a knife that he snatched from the small supermarket for convenience and self-defense, he only had a piece of chocolate left on him.
Moreover, this chocolate is also unpalatable, he has never seen the brand, it is estimated that he has been in prison for a year, and there is a new product on the market.
However, chocolate is not the focus now, and Tian Si and Li Rudong are facing the same problem now - they are both thirsty.
That's right, Tian Si hasn't stopped to drink water since he escaped from the prison of Qilin Wing, and when he found the mirror shop, he only stopped when he saw the big freezer in front of the mirror shop, he was tired and thirsty at that time, and now when he came to this world full of yellow sand, his body's needs were even stronger, but he was still trapped in the sensory stimulation of coming to this world.
The last days are worthy of the last days, just a glance can make people's hearts desolate and spontaneous.
The world in front of him is occupied by yellow sand and waste, even if he lands on his feet, he can step on a shallow footprint, everything around him can only be edged with the old words, the rust of the iron, the cracks that can't be concealed under the withered yellow moss on the building, every detail gives him a great shock.
Most importantly, the layout here, the layout here really says that the world he's in right now is what he guessed it is.
Over here.
It's the last days.
It's the end of the mirror world.
