Chapter 002: Asking for help
It was very difficult to climb the mountain without a passage, and Su Qing followed closely with palpitations, and the man in front of him looked like he was eighteen. Nine-year-old, with an ordinary body, but more athletic than a cheetah, he walks like the wind on the rugged mountains, and if he hadn't turned around to help him climb the mountain, he would have been faster.
Thinking of the knife just now, Su Qing really had a chill down her spine, the two were four or five meters apart, but she didn't even see Wang Rong's movements clearly, and the blade had already reached her throat. And the tone of his voice was so cold that she had to believe that if she talked nonsense again, she would definitely die on the beach.
It's really getting dark, and there is still some distance from Wang Rong's cave. Wang Rong suddenly stopped, and this stop made Su Qing stunned.
Wang Rong jumped down the mountain stone and bowed down: "Come up, I'll carry you away." ”
He grabbed Su Qing's two long legs with both hands, avoiding the two short sabers, and the plump place pressed against his back, and he couldn't be distracted by the crowd, because the rat swarm was really about to appear.
"Snake!" Su Qing exclaimed.
As soon as she finished speaking, the short saber on her right leg had been pulled out by Wang Rong, and she threw it out, and the head of the poisonous snake that was rushing was firmly nailed to the ground. Wang Rong stepped forward quickly, drew his knife and inserted it, without looking at the dead snake, and continued to move forward.
There are really few mutated creatures on the island that can make Wang Rong afraid. What he cares about the most is that he can't kill a group like a rat swarm. With excellent physical fitness, amazing flexibility, and various weapons on his body, most of the mutated creatures were tortured and killed by him in one-on-one situations. If it is said that there is a separate food chain, Wang Rong can be called the hegemon on the island, located at the top of the food chain.
Unfortunately, there are still rats, wolves, and lions on the island......
The moment night fell, Wang Rong finally came to the cave, he put Su Qing in the depths of the cave, turned around and carefully checked the arrangement, and then put down a huge stone to block the entrance of the tunnel, and then came back.
The electrical appliances in the cave are all solar-powered, and occasionally on sunny days, Wang Rong will throw them at the entrance of the cave to bask in the sun, but fortunately there is not much damage so far.
Lighting a solar military flashlight, Wang Rong cleaned up the fish and put them in the pot to stew fish soup, as for the seasoning, they were all obtained by local methods, and after eating for a long time, Wang Rong's body was actually fine, which was also a miracle.
Wang Rong didn't speak, and Su Qing didn't say anything, just don't accidentally provoke this killing god.
When the fish soup was stewed, Wang Rong took out two small basins and two spoons, poured them, and handed them to Su Qing.
Not to mention, the taste of the fish soup is really good, Su Qing took a small bite and listened to Wang Rong ask: "Now you can answer me, where are you from and why did you come to this island?" ”
Su Qing swallowed the fish and said, "It has been decades since the outbreak of nuclear war. The scale of that nuclear war was too large, and my grandfather was a specialist at a research institute affiliated with the army. After the war, they projected that the Earth's temperature would drop by one degree over the next two decades. The destruction of various ecological environments will greatly increase the difficulty of survival on land. ”
"At that time, under the protection of the army, there were a lot of civilians in the security zone. It was unanimously decided to leave the land for the time being and go to the sea to find an island large enough to be opened up as a safe zone. The army had detailed routes and maps, and they were the first to find their destination, sweeping the island by force. Subsequently, the people in the safe zone were transferred to the island in batches. Together with the army, they worked together to build a place that could be called a paradise. ”
"In our case, nothing but the tsunami and the typhoon can pose a threat. Before the war, there were more than 25,000 islands in the Pacific Ocean, of which only more than 10,000 were inhabited. After the war, due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, there were not many places to live. ”
"The island we live on is really large, and there are many experts who have tried their best to synthesize seeds that can be grown on the island." Su Qing said pitifully: "You know, if you just eat sea fish, you will die of sepsis." In addition, some herbivores are farmed and meat is also provided. Coupled with the hunting of sea fish, the people on the island can still live. ”
Su Qing sighed and said, "Although life is a little harder, everyone can eat and wear." However, there is a problem that people have to face in life, and that is drinking water. The island's fresh water is not enough for survival. So the first group of people who went there came with a kind of desalination equipment called rapid spray evaporation. When the island first migrated, there were about 100,000 people. Now the population has begun to increase due to fertility. And our freshwater equipment, broken. So the military-trained warriors on the island selected a hundred people, each in groups of two, and headed to the land to go to the site of the original desalination company to find the core chip of the freshwater equipment. If you can't find it, you'll be forced to move back to land. ”
Wang Rong asked, "What about your companions?" ”
"We didn't have fuel, so the 100 people were chosen from the voluntary registration. From the way of rowing boats, in different directions, towards the land. We were unlucky to have the storm we had just had, and my companion must be gone. I tied myself to the rowboat, and the wind blew around here, and I was swept into the sea by the waves, and I was lucky not to die, and I swam here and saw you. ”
Su Qing explained: "We have miniature radio equipment on us, and if someone successfully lands and finds the chip, they will contact the base. The ships at the base have fuel for a round trip, so this time the search for the sea must have volunteers as a precursor. If you are not sure of sending out a ship, it is very likely that the people of the island will be completely isolated from the rest of the world, and eventually they will be trapped and killed by the lack of fresh water. ”
Wang Rong felt a little bitter in his heart, he was also unable to survive on land, and he was also looking for life in the ocean. Fate played a joke on everyone, they had a shipload of 2,326 people, only sporadic weapons, no army, no scientific experts, just a group of women and children and men to protect them. Soon after the ship set sail, it encountered various problems and was forced to run aground on this deserted island, having to compete with the island's creatures for survival resources.
Wang Rong has gone from a babbling baby to an eighteen-year-old boy now, and I don't know how many times he has witnessed the cruel predation of the jungle. Instead of increasing, more than 2,000 people withered.
And what about the other party, 100,000 people go to sea, just think about that fleet, it is enough to shock. Their army cleared the living space, there were researchers who could grow seeds, desalination equipment, and even young people like Su Qing who could be trained and equipped with weapons. Even if they really can't find the core chip of the watered-down device, 100,000 people migrate back to the mainland, trying to fight for a space to survive, it is not hopeless.
With the faint light of the military flashlight, Su Qing looked at Wang Rong's ordinary and indifferent face, and couldn't guess the waves in his heart.
The two were silent.
The light gradually dimmed, and Su Qing coughed lightly, breaking the dull deadlock: "Wang Rong, I can't go to the land alone, and I can't go back to the island base." I would like to ask for your help. ”
Wang Rong snorted lightly: "Huh? ”
"My rowing boat was hanging on the tail of the rack on the beach, and it was damaged but not serious. As long as the two people relay, prepare dry food and water. Without inclement weather, we have a good chance of getting back to land. I have a detailed map of the land on me. As long as you find the core chip, the base will send a ship to depart, and you can return to the base with me at that time. ”
Su Qingxiao reasoned with emotion: "You are the only one living on this island, empty, lonely and lonely, facing ferocious beasts all the time, and even rats have become the natural enemies of people. And when you get to the base, there are a lot of people living together, you will make friends, you will find what you want to do, you will be a soldier or a farmer, or even study to become a researcher. You'll also meet the girl you like, fall in love with her, get married......"
Speaking of this, Su Qing suddenly had a feeling of regret, a lonely man and a girl in distress, in this closed cave, let alone a lonely man and a widow, think about a young man in his youth, in this kind of chaotic world after a nuclear war, what does he want to do to her, who can stop it?
Su Qing's little hand had already touched the handle of the gun on her waist, just in case.
"With your reflexes and speed, it takes two to three seconds to draw a gun and shoot with a safety aim. If I'm going to do you badly, you'll be dead in a second. Wang Rong said indifferently: "Although the cave is very dark, I have lived here for a long time, and I can't see anything. ”
Why did she take the gun, Wang Rong is not stupid, after a little thought, he understands that he has not experienced much in the world, but there is an elder who has educated him very seriously.
Among the more than 2,000 people who came to the island that year, there was a middle-aged man who was six or seven months old Wang Rong, who was six or seven months old, and said that his friend's whole family was killed, and only one seedling was left. His name was Cheng Quan, and he used his diary to teach Wang Rong to read and write. He taught Wang Rong to fight and shoot. He is very knowledgeable and has excellent marksmanship, and many people have speculated whether he was a retired special soldier before.
But Cheng Quan didn't admit anything, he only said that he was an ordinary employee who had been a soldier. The survivors on the island were him and Wang Rong who persevered to the end, and three years ago, the disease still took his life, leaving Wang Rong alone.
Before he died, he said to Wang Rong: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are uncontrollable. If I die, you will be the only one on the island, and you will die like me in the future. If you have the chance, you must return to land. I have calculated that the temperature effects of a nuclear war will not last for many years. After a few years, it will stabilize, and then the world will re-establish a new biological chain. Be sure to leave! Go to a new world and live. ”
Su Qing's heartbeat intensified, recalling Wang Rong's lightning blade, she knew that in this small cave, if Wang Rong had malicious intentions, she would not have the power to resist at all. The fighting that he had learned at the island base had completely become a fist in front of this boy. So, she let go of the handle of her gun.
Wang Rong said in a deep voice: "Okay, start preparing tomorrow." I'll go with you! ”
