Chapter XXIII Transfer
We are located in the northwest, and in the early years, almost every household had a deep well, but since the village has repaired the water pipeline, it has gradually been sealed. Since the water in the deep well was taken from the ground, and all of it was closed for many years, I tasted it and it was not polluted by rainwater infiltration, so I teamed up with the fat man to fetch a few buckets of water.
Of course, because the fat man had drunk tap water before, I still let the fat man take some antibiotics just to be on the safe side.
After a long absence, I took a hot bath, and suddenly felt indescribably refreshed, although dinner was just a simple white rice and pickles, but this was already rare for us. Especially the fat man, who ate three bowls in a row before stopping.
Seeing that it was already dark, I beckoned everyone to go and rest early, because from tomorrow we will begin an unknown escape. After all, there is still a large wave of zombies migrating not far away, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not wander here.
Xiaocui subconsciously wanted to follow me back to the room, but I stopped her and said You go and accompany Xu Man, after all, Gao Jian has just left.
"What about you, after all, uncles and aunts ......"
I interrupted Xiao Cui's concerns, saying that I slept with the fat man, and you are afraid that I can't open it with him.
Xiaocui thought about it, and it was right, so she didn't say anything anymore and went to the next room to accompany Xu Man.
In fact, I was really afraid to hear their comfort, and the more I listened, the more sad I felt in my heart, since I chose to avoid this problem from the beginning, then simply let me keep running away.
I poured some of my dad's own liquor from the kitchen and went back to my room to chat with the fat man.
"Fatty, apart from you, are there any living people in our village?"
The fat man took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth, and said that he didn't know, he had been trapped at home and had never gone out.
"How many people do you think can live safely like this? The zombie you killed in my yard at noon was Jia Si's daughter-in-law, and she had just married her for less than two months. At that time, I and Chuanzi and they even went to the cave house. ”
Listening to the familiar names coming out of the fat man's mouth, these people have either turned into zombies or disappeared without a trace, but there is no wave in my heart.
In this world of only bad news, the heart will naturally become numb when you hear too much.
Seeing that half a catty of liquor was about to bottom out, I went to the kitchen to get some back, and continued to drink and chat with the fat man.
"What's next for you? Since you came back to save me, then my little life is yours, and I will follow you in the future. ”
I smiled wryly and said that what could I plan, I could only take one step at a time, and live one day at a time. Or you tell me where it's safe? I'll be able to go with you.
Until I drank the wine in the bottle again, I was a little drunk with the fat man, and I didn't bother to clean it up, and the fat man fell directly on the bed and began to snore, and although my hands and feet were a little fluttery, my brain was still very clear, and I didn't feel sleepy. I just lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, and began to think very seriously about our next direction, but it didn't take long for us to fall asleep.
The next day, I woke up early in the morning and saw that the fat man next to me was still snoring, and kicked him out of bed.
"Tom"
After falling like this, the fat man hadn't completely woken up, so he first opened his eyes sleepily and looked at it, and found that the situation was wrong, so he immediately turned over and leaned on the side of the bed very "alertly", and looked around the room vigilantly.
I pretended to have just woken up, stretched, and then looked at the fat man with a surprised look on my face, and asked him what he was doing early in the morning. The fat man scratched his head in embarrassment and complained to me: "It's all your fault that the bed is too small, brother, I turned over and fell under the bed." "I laughed in my heart, but I pretended not to know anything, saying that with your width, a bed of one meter eight is not enough for you to turn over twice.
Xiaocui and Xu Man have already gotten up, and they are waiting for us after cooking gruel. While I was having breakfast, I gave them a rough idea of what I had thought last night.
"I still can't stay in this place for long, I don't know when those zombies will wander over. Although the zombies' eyes are slightly easier during the day, we try to walk from the dealer's field, which is safer than at night. I swept away the gruel in the bowl and continued: "My initial plan is to go to the mountain, and a few dozen miles to the south is the foot of the mountain. There are few people in the mountains, so there are relatively not many zombies, and the place is big enough, we can imitate those hermits, find a cliff to build a cave, and live in seclusion. Of course, the chosen place must also be close to the town, after all, to live in seclusion in the mountains, you still need to constantly look for supplies. ”
Probably listening to me, the two women naturally had no opinion, and the fat man really couldn't think of a better way, so the plan was unanimously approved.
After eating, I asked Xiaocui and Xu Man to pack their luggage, and by the way, see what else they could bring with them at home, and bring them all, and the fat man was responsible for going to the yard to fetch water, after all, you can't drink safe water everywhere these days. And I carried my weapon and quietly climbed out of the yard.
Walking around the streets in broad daylight, I had to be safe, and seeing that there were not many zombies left in the village, I decided to explore the road first and try to clear the threat. After so much training, I am no longer the little ** silk I used to be, at least now I am exploring the street with a kitchen knife in broad daylight, and I don't have much fear in my heart.
I tried to hide my body as much as I could, moving towards the end of the village little by little, like a predator, quietly observing my prey in the corner. Of course, I know that I'm the real prey for these zombies, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit back and hide from them. Whenever I found an opportunity to find a lone zombie, I would rush over from the hideout, and then kill with a knife, and in the whole morning, there were more than a dozen zombies in front of me, and the record was outstanding.
Seeing that it was already noon, and the zombies in the village had been cut down by me, and the road leading to the fields at the end of the village had been cleared, I walked cautiously towards home. Of course, I didn't go to explore the surrounding houses, first because I was only out to find the way, as long as I could make sure we could evacuate safely. Besides, we have enough supplies for now, and it's not convenient to carry more, so I don't need to put myself in danger anymore. After all, even if a zombie is found on the street, if the situation is not right, you can still run, but if it is in the house, the space is so small, it is easy to be hit.
I walked away all morning, and after returning home, Xiaocui was naturally worried and complained, I hugged her and coaxed a few words, and told everyone to eat quickly.
When Xiaocui and Xu Man went to cook, the fat man squeezed his eyebrows and pulled me aside, and asked me where I came from, this stupid girl, I said this is the master's life, you can't envy it. Then he told him that Xu Man's boyfriend had just left, and she needed to be comforted at this time, so you have nothing to care about, maybe you can really take advantage of it.
Although I am indeed a little sorry for Gao Jian when I say this, the first thing we need to consider now is how to survive the apocalypse. After all, my ability to be alone is really limited, and it is not a bad thing to let the fat man take care of Xu Man more.
"Yes, Xu Man is obviously not my thing, if you want me to be a nanny, just say it, don't give me those false things."
Hearing me say this, the fat man hastened to show his attitude. In fact, I also understand the fat man's thoughts, for a fat man who was born in the countryside and is still an otaku, Xu Man will not be a person with him after all, but it is this catastrophe that brings everyone together.
I didn't know what to say about the fat man's thoughts, so I patted him on the shoulder and went to help in the kitchen.
After lunch, I checked our luggage again, food, water, some clothing and medicine, and about 20 meters of nylon rope. Seeing that nothing was left behind, I handed out a kitchen knife to each of them to defend themselves, and I was still in the shape of a kitchen knife in my right hand and a watermelon knife in my left hand, and I was the first to walk out of the door.
"I'll hit the head, after the fat man breaks, try not to make a sound, follow me."
I whispered a command, took a closer look around, and led them towards the fields at the end of the village.
It was inevitable to reach the cornfield behind the village safely, after all, I had basically eliminated all the zombies stranded in the village this morning, and the distance was not very far, so I quickly went down to the field and hid in a large area of corn stalks.
"Little beast, you did all those zombies on the road just now?"
I looked at him disdainfully, and said, Is there anyone else in the village who is helping me?
"Yes, Brother Yan is amazing." Xiaocui really won't let go of any opportunity to praise me, with a proud expression, she almost shouted loudly, "My man is very powerful".
Seeing Xiaocui's appearance, the corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, and he looked at me with envy, saying When did you become so awesome. I smiled and said that I will definitely bring you next time and let you join me.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard something nearby, and he couldn't see anything because of the turquoise corn stalks in front of him. So he hurriedly beckoned them to squat, guarded to separate the corn stalks with a knife, and walked slowly towards the sound.
"Huh?"
Hearing my exclamation, but not seeing any movement from me, the fat man immediately asked me what was wrong. I smiled and turned back to the fat man and said, "Come and help, I have meat to eat tonight." ”
The fat man tiptoed over, opened the corn and looked at it, only to see a vole that was too fat to eat stuck in the hole, only showing its butt to us, and the sound just now was from its hind paws desperately digging into the soil.
Without saying a word, the fat man rushed over and grabbed it by the tail and smashed it to the ground when it got up, while I broke off a corn stalk and stabbed it into the hole.
It seems that we can finally open meat tonight!
