Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Chamber of Secrets
We can't help but feel a chill in our hearts, has things come to this point? Has humanity reached a critical moment of life and death? The whole earth is so big, is there no place for human beings?
Food, this is the key. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the population of the earth is so large, from the zombie incident to the large-scale outbreak of zombies, it has only been a short two years. The use of weapons of mass destruction has also effectively reduced the growth of zombies and zombies. Seven billion people have not died too much, and there are at least more than five billion people on the planet. It is only scattered and inhabited, and it has not formed a scale. There are not too many castles as big as Tokyo and Beijing. However, small castles have developed a certain size. The number is still increasing dramatically.
However, the increase in castles overlooked the biggest problem, which was food. Although the population has been preserved and life is no longer threatened by zombies, food is increasingly scarce. Obviously, there are granaries scattered all over the country, but taking grain is a test of life and death.
Outside of the castle, there are basically no villages and towns, and some of the ones that have not been destroyed are also occupied by zombies and zombies. Some tall buildings are also furnishings, just witnessing the glory of human beings. For safety, almost all castles were built on the edge of mountains and rivers, far away from the former city. The kind of days when you turn on the tap and have water is no longer possible, and only flowing water can make people drink with confidence.
There was once a castle where after drinking water from the reservoir outside the castle, all the people who drank the water turned into zombies overnight, and only those who did not have drinking water at that time survived. In the process of fleeing, a castle of hundreds of thousands of people survived with less than a hundred. At that time, it was these 100 people who made all the castles afraid to drink the water from the water storen, and every day they went to the riverside, the creek and other places to get living water.
Looking at the water tank in front of him, Li Jie put his silver bracelet in the water tank according to Tang Yu's guidance and soaked it for a while, and saw that the silver bracelet had not changed before letting everyone drink it at will.
I asked in surprise: "Tang Yu, have you also verified the water we drank before?" ”
Tang Yu nodded and said, "In such a weird county, how can you eat at will if you don't have protective measures?" We have done experiments on zombies, and the result is that silver can test zombie poison. If the water turns black, it will definitely be poisonous. But the zombies have not changed, I don't know why. Supposedly, zombies are also poisonous, but there is no change. ”
Uncle nodded and said, "The poison of zombies is generally in the teeth and nails, but their blood is not very toxic. If you don't reach a certain amount, you won't turn into a zombie. But this will not be the case in the future, the walking zombies have merged with the zombies, and they are not jumping and walking. Therefore, it is best to verify the drinking water in the future to ensure that it is foolproof. ”
The father-in-law looked at the two-story building in front of him with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I'll rest here tonight." Star, you can arrange the vigil. Old, I'm tired after a little activity, so I'll go to bed first. ”
Seeing my father-in-law walk into the bedroom like a scoundrel, Li Jie and I were speechless for a while. It's a villa with some miscellaneous stuff piled up on the first floor, and only one living room is still clean. On the second floor, there are four bedrooms and a study, but how did more than 40 of us assign them? Now it's okay, my father-in-law went to sleep by himself, and the uncle and Deputy Commander Kong Fang also went to the bedroom with a smile, leaving us looking at each other helplessly.
I waved my hand helplessly: "Find something soft to spread on the floor." ”
Li Jie nodded, "That's all there is to it." Husband, go to their room and pick up some quilts. Also, what is there a room for you to go sleep in. We women are better together, and you are not suitable here. ”
Tang Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't care." As for the quilt, let's do it free, we have a marching blanket in the car, just bring it. ”
Li Jie pouted and said, "You don't care, but I care." Okay, you can do it yourself, husband, let's go to the room. ”
Looking at the jealous Li Jie, everyone laughed. Although my father-in-law said that he had not touched Sister Fang Nan, we were still skeptical. When there is a relationship, most women will be petty, but they are also much more loyal than ordinary bodyguards, and they will exchange their lives for each other's lives. Of course, the premise is that you can't lie to them. They will come into your life and watch over you. It's fine if you have a clear conscience, but if you find out you're cheating on them, they're likely to be even more ruthless than the killers.
Although Tang Yu is a man, there are more than 30 people who are heroic and handsome, and there are many people who are handsome and lovely. Although they all serve me as the main thing and respect Li Jie, Li Jie is still not at ease. Not just for them, but for me. There is no man who is not careful, and he who likes the new and does not get tired of the old is already the best good man. No matter how strong a woman is, there are times when she needs a man's protection, even if it's just with your shoulder. Therefore, Tang Yu also has this need, not just psychological.
The night passed quietly. There was no sound, no sound, although at the foot of the Great Wall, not even the wind. When I went out in the morning, the sky was bright and the leaves didn't move.
Uncle sighed and said, "At the foot of the Great Wall, there is usually wind, and the second or third level wind is called no wind here. It's good now, it's really windless. ”
We were all speechless, and the absence of wind was abnormal. The father-in-law pointed outside and said, "Let's go, bring some water, bring a pot, and let's dig wild vegetables." He NND, he couldn't imagine that he had eaten wild vegetables when he was a child, and now, he still eats wild vegetables. ”
Uncle smiled and said, "You can be content, we were the ones who ate wild vegetables when we were children, where have you eaten?" I pick wild vegetables to eat almost every day in Africa, so what's wrong with you eating such a meal now? Wild vegetables, pure natural green food, many people still can't eat it. Alas," the uncle sighed a little lonely, "it's not bad to have wild vegetables to eat, I think back then, we were trapped on a mountain by seventeen mercenaries and ate wild grass for three days. At that time, I said to myself that if I got out alive, I would definitely make my mercenaries the world's number one mercenary organization. I did, and I still eat wild vegetables a lot. ”
Although I don't know how the uncle has come over the years, when I heard him say this, we can all experience the danger and hardship. Life in the world, you don't need to be vigorous, you don't need to be in the limelight, that kind of ordinary, peaceful and stable ordinary life, isn't it a kind of happiness?
However, no one is willing to be ordinary, and it is a lie to say that they are willing to be ordinary without experiencing wind and frost. Reading novels also wants to seek a thrill and feel a sweet dream in their own illusion. It's just that life still needs to be dull, and going to work is still an eternal theme.
Suddenly, Wang Ming screamed, "Come on." ”
We glanced at each other and quickly rushed towards the place where Wang Ming's cry came from.
Entering the house, Fang Nan was standing in front of a large stove in a daze. Basically, every household in the north has a large stove, and burning a large stove in winter can be used to heat the kang. No matter how cold it is in winter, there is a fire on the kang, and the bedroom is like spring.
Seeing us coming, Wang Ming hurriedly said, "Commander, look there." As he spoke, he pointed to the place where Fang Nan was. We walked over and saw that the cauldron in front of Fang Nan had gone down, but under the stove was a big hole with a black hole. This kind of big hole existed in ancient times, especially during tunnel warfare, and such a movement was basically available in every household. But now that it's peacetime, how can such a thing exist?
The father-in-law said, "It seems that this is a secret room. This secret room may be related to the mystery of the county this time. The disappearance of all the people and things in this county is an incredible thing in itself. Here, perhaps, is a clue. ”
I waved my hand, "Tang Yu, are there any cold fireworks?" ”
Tang Yu shook his head and said, "No, that kind of thing is generally for exploration, and basically no one will use it except for those who enter the underground." We have a flashlight here, though. ”
"That's fine. Take it. "I was holding the flashlight and pointing downwards, and the high-brightness flashlight didn't hit the bottom at all." The flashlight is not bright enough to see the bottom. "I returned the flashlight to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu exclaimed, "How is it possible." This is a high-brightness flashlight, with an effective range of 2000 meters, how can you not see the bottom? Is that still a secret room? ”
I was silent for a while and said, "Without 2,000 meters, you won't be able to see at most seventy meters below." If there's nothing wrong with the flashlight, there's something wrong with the cave, and he can devour the light. ”
Tang Yu asked, "Then ...... now?"
I nodded, "To go down, I'd love to know what's going on here?" ”
