Chapter 8: Food, Water, and Women
"What year is it?"
After coming out of the police station building, Ye Fei asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there were some doubts about why she asked this, the woman said, "It's June 6, 2018, and it's been a full year since the disaster broke out. ”
June 6th? Has it been a full year since the disaster struck?
Ye Fei frowned and secretly thought to himself, I have been in a coma for a whole year. That means I have a one-year memory gap.
"What is this, what is it?" Ye Fei then asked.
The woman frowned slightly and said, "Haiyan County." ”
Haiyan County?
Ye Fei slowly recalled the third-tier coastal city mentioned in his diary, that is to say, I have never left this city since I came here a year ago until my memory disappeared and then I woke up.
What was the reason for his amnesia and his burial in the ground for a whole year?
Although a year is not too long, but it is definitely not short, the answer I want to find, I am afraid that it has long been a matter of people, and it is difficult to find any useful clues, and the third-tier coastal city mentioned in the diary, although it is this one, but what is the specific task, and where is the goal? None of the diaries make it clear.
It's highly unlikely that you'll find the answer from the city on your own whims.
In the end, Ye Fei decided not to think about it anymore, and when he found the base where he joined the army before, he might be able to learn some useful information from there.
"I know there's a supermarket there and there aren't many mutant monsters around, we can go there and get some food and water."
The woman said suddenly.
Oh, Ye Fei glanced at her in some surprise.
The woman laughed miserably: "I have been staying in the main control room since the disaster broke out, and no one knows the situation of the entire city better than me, after all, before the outbreak of the end times, all the monitoring facilities were almost all over every corner of the city, and every corner of the city could be observed in hundreds of display screens in the central main control room." ”
That's true.
Ye Fei nodded.
"Then you must have nightmares a lot." Ye Fei twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
Hearing this, the woman's face changed slightly, as if she remembered something fearful because of Ye Fei's words, her face became more and more pale, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Come to think of it, the less you know about the end times for other survivors, the less you know, the more you don't know, the more you don't know, the less you fear.
And the woman faces the 'human tragedy' that occurs in every corner of the city as shown in the surveillance footage every day, although she will not be attacked as a bystander, but the violent, bloody and cruel scenes in the pictures make her feel terrified from the bottom of her heart.
After all, no one can maintain a normal state of mind in the face of such a murderous picture and such a real feeling.
Despite the initial fear and the subsequent numbness, it is precisely because of this that the woman is stronger than some survivors in terms of psychological growth. And this is why she can dare to face Ye Fei directly.
"You've been in the central control room all year?"
Ye Fei glanced at her and asked
The woman was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Of course, she knew why Ye Fei asked like this, and said: "We originally had 6 colleagues, and because there are monitoring facilities, we know where there are no mutant monsters, and where the supermarket has not been looted. ”
"With the help of surveillance facilities, we moved all the food and water from the surrounding supermarkets and grocery stores to the central control room in the police station building."
"Originally, we thought that if the government didn't send the army to save us, the food and water we stored would only last us for half a year at most."
"However, things are not as simple as we thought......"
"When we were out looking for food, some accidents happened, three of our six colleagues died in an operation to search for food and water, and one of the remaining three colleagues, including me, couldn't bear the pressure of that fear and secretly ran out by himself while we were not paying attention......"
Another colleague chose ...... Suicide! ”
"I was left alone to face the bloody scenes displayed on the surveillance screen every day, and it was as if I was living in hell for years. Although my life is not in danger for a while, I don't know how long I will be able to hold out, and I am afraid that if I hadn't met you, or had not waited for the army to rescue me, my final fate would not have been much better than that colleague who committed suicide......"
The woman was stunned to remember what had happened before, and she didn't know how she had survived, for a young woman, the pain and suffering she had suffered before was unimaginable to others.
"I've seen a lot of mutant monsters roaming around the police station. How did you avoid them and go outside in search of food. You must know that those mutant monsters do not just see and hear to lock the location of the survivors, their sense of smell is extremely sensitive, even if they are a mile away, they can still sense the exact location of the survivors. ”
"Besides, you've been in the central monitoring room, so it's impossible not to be discovered by the mutant monsters roaming the corridors, how did you avoid their olfactory system?"
Ye Fei asked with some curiosity.
Hearing this, the woman's panicked eyes slowly revealed a sad feeling, and said, "I don't think you want to know how I made them not find out about my existence. ”
Ye Fei looked at the woman for a while and nodded. "What's your name?" ”
"Bai Jing, what about you?"
"Ye Fei."
With that, the two of them soon came to the door of the large supermarket.
Bai Jing said: "I have been observing this supermarket for a long time, and I have been trying to find some food and water inside, but I can't leave the central main control room. We can safely go inside to find food and water, and there are no mutant monsters within two miles of here. ”
Ye Fei nodded, and then stepped into the door of the supermarket.
As Bai Jing said, she had been observing this place for a long time, and it was one of the few places that had not been looted by the survivors.
The items inside were neatly arranged, and there was no damage except for a small panic caused by the falling cosmic radiation waves.
And the staff who couldn't withstand the stimulation of the radiation waves and turned into mutant monsters didn't know where they were wandering?
Ye Fei casually pushed a shopping cart, and the first place he went to was the location of the shelves of canned food in the supermarket. I didn't know that it had been a whole year since the end of the world came, but now that I know the specific time so far, I naturally want to choose some foods that have a long shelf life and will not spoil.
In particular, the kind of vacuum canned food has a shelf life of one year, and some can even be stored for 3 to 5 years, and for the current situation, canned food is definitely the first choice necessary for survival in the last days.
Bai Jing pushed a shopping cart and ran to the medicine purchase area, picked out some commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers and disinfectants, and seemed to have made up her mind to follow Ye Fei, not just take some food and water.
Soon, Ye Fei filled the shopping cart to the brim, and at this time it was almost full, and it was no longer necessary to stay here.
beckoned to Bai Jing, and the two of them quickly pushed the shopping cart out of the supermarket gate.
Ye Fei casually glanced at the stuffed things in Bai Jing's shopping cart, most of which were some medical supplies, a small amount of drinking water and a few vacuum foods.
"These things are enough for you to use for a month or two, I'll send you back now, although I don't know how you managed to stay in the central monitoring room without being discovered by those mutant monsters, it must be safer to stay there than to hide elsewhere."
"After all, there is surveillance, and we are well aware of the dangers that exist in the whole city. Being able to dodge danger before it helps a lot. Ye Fei said.
"If possible, you might wait for the army to come to your rescue."
"What do you mean?"
Bai Jing looked at Ye Fei with some panic.
"I'm not going to take you to a gathering place for survivors. The place I'm going to be is so far away that I can't guarantee what will happen along the way. ”
"Besides, with all this food, it's better for you to stay here than to go into a survivor colony."
"After all, it's the end of the world, and no one knows how much more law and morality can play."
"Rather than working at the mercy of others in the gathering place, it is better to wait quietly in the monitoring room alone, if you really can't bear the loneliness, you can also understand the whole city through monitoring, and find a suitable way for yourself to escape."
After being silent for a while, Bai Jing didn't know what she was thinking, it seemed that she was also struggling fiercely in her heart, and Ye Fei's words were not unreasonable. But in the end, Bai Jing still raised his head and looked at Ye Fei and said, "Let me follow you, no matter what happens on the road." I don't want to be alone anymore. ”
"Even if you want to throw me in a survivor's gathering, I will follow you, and I will always follow you wherever I go."
Hearing this, Ye Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "I have my own things to do, and it is always a little inconvenient to take you with me, you are sure to follow me." ”
If it was before the disaster broke out, when civilization had not been destroyed, if there was such a police fancy woman following him, Ye Fei would definitely accept it. But times are different now, and there is a great secret hidden in him. He also didn't want to expose his secrets to the survivors until he learned the truth about the matter.
Although before, Bai Jing may have known some secrets about his body through the surveillance screen.
But Ye Fei still didn't plan to kill Bai Jing.
