Chapter 370: Graveyard
After Geng Zhi and the others finished smoking, they began to organize manpower to start shipping supplies.
"What is this for? Why should we dismantle the guns we have laid out? What role has not been played yet? Zhou Jitang was puzzled.
"En, yes, now that we have discussed it, we feel that setting the cannon in a fixed place is not conducive to defense, and it is not flexible enough, I discussed with Lao Zheng that I want to learn from that hairy devil, and change the position of the cannon to the back of the truck, so that it can move and attack." Geng Zhi made a nonsense for a reason, and he didn't want anyone else to know about his plans to leave.
"A good idea is a good idea, but the problem is that it's too labor-intensive to move back and forth like this." Zhou Jitang complained, and Hua Feng climbed onto the platform and pushed the cannon down the slope of the wooden plank.
"What's that, anyway, we have an inclined plane, and we're not primitives." Geng Zhi said.
Geng Zhi and Jiang Cai held on to the inclined plane to avoid the slope slipping. Jiang Cai said, "I think you're just tossing around, it's already chaotic outside, and it won't last long, and now you have a fresh idea, do you want us to carry the cannon back tomorrow?" ”
Geng Zhi glanced at Jiang Cai, but still smiled, "Isn't it just a blind toss?" The question is, is this cannon not working here, and it must not be moved? When the zombies rush to the door, no one will say that they are tossing around, but rest assured, we will not carry it back again. ”
Later, when moving the generator, Liang Shui and Wei Zilong expressed their incomprehension.
"I say! The generator is here so good, why do you have to move it back to the car? It's connected directly to the circuit here, and I have to spend some wires on the car. ”
"What's so hard to find wires? Isn't the floor full of wires? Geng Zhi patted Liang Shui's shoulder, "If there is anything that needs to be improved, Wei Zilong and I can help you get it." “
Over the next few days, Geng Zhi and a group of people quietly transferred all the supplies to several vehicles scattered around the management office. He and Zheng Jieming even quietly moved some of the roadblocks on the road a little.
"When the time comes, if we have the chance, will we go through the south gate or the west gate?" Geng asked Zheng Jieming directly.
"The South Gate, closer from the South Gate."
As for the important reagent, Zheng Jieming put it in a cowhide waist bag and carried it with him.
――――――――――――――――――
Towards night, Zheng Jieming walked alone to the cemetery they had erected for the dead.
He nodded silently to everyone's wooden spirit cards, and at the same time saluted Ling Er's empty space without spirit cards.
I'm sorry, guys, but I'm probably going to have to leave you alone soon. We probably won't be able to stay in the city anymore and can move whenever we have the opportunity. After all, there is a shortage of materials in the city, and there are many zombies, and we were lucky to stop some time ago, and we don't know how long this luck will last......
If one day, we can survive, and if one day, the zombies can be wiped out from the face of the earth, we will definitely come back to see you.
He took out a bottle of liquid from his pocket, which contained the leftover gruel that he had specially put out when he had eaten the big pot of rice in the afternoon--there was not much left, only half a bottle, and he could only mix it with a little more water, shake it, and spill it on the ground in front of the spirit tablet.
"Li Yu, Ye Ran" He called the names of all the dead people.
"I'm sorry, the food is scarce, and we have to give priority to the people who are alive, so don't dislike this little gruel. When the situation improves in the future, I will bring you big fish, meat, wine, and smoke. ”
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.
He turned around, and by a little dark blue light to the west, he recognized that the man was missing an arm.
It's Zhang Xiushan.
"Lao Zhang?" Zheng Jieming was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Xiushan.
Zheng Jieming would come to this cemetery every once in a while, but he didn't meet anyone else.
Zhang Xiushan was also stunned, and then hehe was happy.
"Did you kid come and have a look?"
"Huh? Well, yes, it's okay at this point, come and see a few of them. Zheng Jieming replied.
Zhang Xiushan smiled, touched his beard, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said while touching something from the inner pocket of his jacket, "I've been here twice, thinking that no one is here except me." ”
He took something out of his pocket, Zheng Jieming couldn't see it very clearly in the dark, Zhang Xiushan put the thing he took out and put it on his left leg.
I saw that Zhang Xiushan seemed to pick up a stone from the side, chisel it on the dirt floor, and backfill some soil, then put the stone down, and used his fingers to flick the soil a few times, and then he gestured the thing he had just made out of his pocket to the ground to see if it could be inserted steadily.
He only has one hand, and it's not easy to do these movements.
"What are you going to do, incense?" Zheng Jieming asked.
"Ahh Don't. Zhang Xiushan said, "I'll force a few of them who can't smoke to smoke with me." ”
He picked one of the cigarettes from his lap and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up the lighter, lit it, took a deep puff of his own, and stuck it in the hole he had just dug up.
"I know these boys and girls don't smoke, but I want to smoke, let them smoke with me." Zhang Xiushan said.
"You're not...... Is the smoke usually controlled by Wang Xinrui? Didn't you all smoke together? ”
"Yes, Geng Zhi, this kid sees that I am addicted to smoking now, so he gave me one cigarette every day, and I saved it, and I saved three."
As he spoke, he took out a second cigarette, lit it, took another puff of his own satisfaction, and stuck it on the ground.
"There's got to be a little bit of sustenance." Zhang Xiushan said, "Why don't I believe they are dead? ”
He coughed twice, "Although we are all 'materialists', but in this situation, all mankind is about to die, and we are all about to turn to ashes, even if we have one day, we will all turn to ashes, and it is better to believe in a ghost at this time." I would rather believe that on every wooden sign, there is a soul floating on it, smoking a cigarette with my old Zhang. ”
"Looks like you've wanted to bring cigarettes over to pay respects to them?"
Zhang Xiushan lit the third and final one, and he let the smoke come out of his nostrils, and then stood the smoke on the ground.
"Well, it's not good to give them a cigarette."
He stood up from the ground, faced with a pile of wooden signs, and stopped talking.
Zheng Jieming seemed to have an illusion in the dark, and he felt that in the smoke in front of him, it seemed that there were really many souls, gray and light, standing in front of their respective wooden signs, smoking cigarettes and chatting with Zhang Xiushan.
It's just that they can't hear a word of what they talk about.
In the middle of the night, the three cigarettes were extinguished one after another.
Zheng Jieming watched the smoke dissipate, as if those souls were also slowly dissipating and returning to their own eternal world.
Zhang Xiushan waited for the sparks on the cigarette to be completely gone, so he picked up the cigarette butt and buried it in the soil on the side.
"Don't tell Geng Zhi, he wants to know that I'm ruining cigarettes, maybe he won't give it to me." Zhang Xiushan patted Zheng Jieming's shoulder.
"It's not a spoilt for you, a smoker." Zheng Jieming replied.
Hehe, that's good, Zhang Xiushan smiled.
――――――――――――
East Coast.
Research on board.
Carl was leading a group of biochemists, mainly from Eagle Nation SJS, to analyze the prions in the reagents overnight.
Although researchers from all over the world are on the same research ship and nominally share information and materials, it is always the Eagle Nation that is the first to carry out research when they encounter valuable content.
"Hurry up, measure the RNA sequence of this virus, and after tomorrow, the reagent will have to be transferred to the researchers in the Principality of France." Carl doesn't have to do it himself, his main role now is more to manage his researchers, develop research plans, and review research results.
Through a thick layer of glass, President Richard and the Secretary of State stood outside, staring at the brightly lit study room.
"Can there be any progress? Is it really impossible to detain the reagent for another day? Richard said.
"It's not good, now we can't tear our faces with the countries of the Star Ring Alliance, the bear country has already broken the boat, and the extremist organizations in the Middle East are also targeting us, so we can't do anything that makes the allies suspicious." The Secretary of State coughed and said.
"Eun, I know, I just said it casually! But now in this kind of project, in this situation, the research level of the Eagle Country must not lag behind anyone! Richard said.
Wouldn't that have to wait? The Secretary of State thought to himself, can't he blatantly break the rules that were set in the first place, right?
According to the order of research, after the Principality of France, researchers from the Principality of Heran can start researching, and researchers from the Bear Country do not participate in the research program of the United Nations, so they are excluded, and then there is the excellent country.
In other countries, they can only form joint biochemical groups and concentrate people to conduct experiments.
"Mr. President, they will conduct experiments all night, you don't have to worry, tomorrow, there will definitely be a satisfactory result." The Secretary of State said.
The blonde man reminded the president, "We have a meeting scheduled for you tomorrow that you need to attend." It's time now."
"That's it! I know. Let's go back! Richard waved impatiently, turned and pushed the door open.
The rest of the entourage followed at the same time.
But what none of them noticed was that in a particular corner, one man's eyes were watching the politicians leave.
[I wish myvvunilove and other friends in the examination room a smooth entrance examination~ After seeing your message, I suddenly realized that many people need to go to bed early, if there is no accident, it will be fixed at 10:33 in the morning and 20:33 in the evening, and the update interval will no longer be set. ]
