Chapter 395: A Box of Gifts
However, when he saw this package that changed his life for the first time, Xiaohu was not moved at all, but was vigilant for the first time!
There is a way, and there must be demons when things happen.
After surviving for more than two months in the apocalypse, Xiaohu is no longer the innocent child he was at the beginning.
He's seen too much of humanity's ugly side.
Among them, the one that disgusted him the most to the point of his life was a father with a seven-year-old boy.
They were unarmed, isolated, and unfed.
Perhaps the fortifications and barbed wire outside showed that the old building was still inhabited, and the father came with his seven-year-old child.
Looking at their lonely appearance, many kind neighbors were very sympathetic.
In the end, when the food and water supply of each family was scarce, the father and son were provided with food for three whole days, and a comfortable house was found for him to live in.
Due to the relatively similar situation, Xiaohu had a very good impression of the man at first, and often ran to comfort him and play with children, and the man also had a very good attitude, always with a smile on his mouth, so that Xiaohu once had a very strong trust in them.
Until the day when the man completely reveals his true face.
Xiaohu remembers very well that that day, what woke him up from his sleep was not cold or hunger, but the screams of his neighbor Aunt Zhang.
When he and his father ran out, they saw a scene that he will never forget.
In the whole community, the bodies of Uncle Lee, who was recognized as the most warm-hearted and warm-hearted, and his half-paralyzed wife, were being carried out of the door.
The cause of death of both was that they were stabbed in the heart with a sharp object, and the blow was fatal.
Xiaohu still remembers that the old couple died until they died. Both pairs of eyes were still wide open, as if they couldn't believe what was happening.
The old couple is dead, and the murderer is obvious.
On the night of the old couple's death, the "father and son" ran away overnight.
Later, upon inspection, more than one neighbor discovered that the home had been burglarized.
At that time, everyone was generally very kind, and subconsciously did not think that anyone would do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, so although they hid important materials at home, they did not hide them in too hidden places, and most of them were placed in the corners of the living room and balcony.
The "father and son" took advantage of that. They infiltrated homes and stole many important supplies, including food, water, and medicine.
According to Uncle Li's neighbor, that night, he seemed to hear some quarrels next door, but it didn't last long, and the neighbors slept in a daze, thinking that the old couple had quarreled, and didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, I woke up the next day. What I saw was the corpse of the old couple.
Xiaohu knew that the old couple had always slept very lightly, and perhaps the pair of "father and son" disturbed the old couple when they burglarized. So he simply didn't do anything, killed the killer and ran away overnight.
Afterwards, Xiaohu also heard that the pair of "father and son" were not father and son at all, but two thieves, one big and one small. Appearing in the form of a partner, deceiving sympathy and stealing.
Xiaohu doesn't know if what everyone said is true.
All he knew was. Since that incident, everyone's hearts are not as hot as they used to be.
It wasn't until after that incident that Xiaohu really realized that this world was no longer the world it used to be.
After that incident, the community has experienced a lot of troubles.
Including some defectors, some people wooed, and even a group of people wanted to rob blatantly, but in the end, with the concerted efforts of the neighbors, the crisis was finally resolved.
But even so, those experiences and lessons are deeply imprinted in Xiaohu's heart, reminding him of one thing all the time.
This world is full of all kinds of dangers.
Don't trust anyone but your father!
Therefore, the moment Xiaohu found the package, the first thought that came to his mind was, did someone put a bomb inside?!
Although a bomb is worth more than a pile of food in today's world. But if the other side is really cornered, it is not so impractical to use bombs to grab food!
Compared with Xiaohu, Xiaohu's father is more calm.
He took a few deep breaths, trying to breathe more easily, before he said in a hoarse voice:
"Xiaohu, go ahead, it's okay."
Xiaohu frowned: "But ......"
"It's okay, even if someone has bad intentions, they won't choose a building like ours."
Xiaohu suddenly understood what his father meant.
From the outside, their building is too dilapidated.
If there are desperate thugs, they will only choose the more luxurious-looking households, which tend to have more food and supplies.
With his father's encouragement, Xiaohu immediately jumped up from the bed, opened the window, and retrieved the package from the windowsill.
Xiaohu hugged the package and shook it, while sticking his ears to listen to the sound.
After a while, he was amazed:
"Hey, it's heavy inside, it seems to contain a lot of things!"
Xiaohu's father frowned and thought for a while, and resolutely said, "Son, let's dismantle it!" ”
"Hmm!" Xiaohu nodded, grabbed the bag with both hands and tore it hard, and then tore open the outer layer of packaging!
Inside is a boxy, translucent chest.
Xiaohu reached out and touched it, and couldn't help but admire: "Wow, this box is so advanced, it's a hundred times better than the material of our sorting box!" ”
Looking at the box, Little Tiger's eyes were also filled with confusion.
He was curious: "Open it and see what's inside." ”
"Okay!" Xiaohu answered, hugged the box and looked left and right, and found that the top was actually a lid.
He grabbed the top with both hands and lifted it slightly, and the lid was immediately lifted, revealing what was inside!
Looking at the contents inside, the father and son couldn't help but be stunned at the same time!
It turned out that there were four or five rows of neatly stacked cylindrical translucent containers, and there were at least thirty bottles!
Through the exterior of these devices, you can vaguely see that they are full of liquid!
"Oh my God! Is this all water?! ”
Little Tiger Dad was so excited that his face was flushed, and he didn't care about coughing, so he turned over and sat up, and took out a vial from the box.
Looking at the contents inside, Xiaohu was also very excited. If nothing else, just by looking at the material of these containers, you can see that the person who placed this package is definitely not fooling around!
If you were an ordinary person, you really couldn't find so many strange little bottles!
Thinking like this, Xiaohu also took out a small bottle from the box.
At this moment, his afterglow fell on the side of the box.
There, he vaguely saw a piece of colorful paper! (To be continued.) )
