Chapter 62: Fewer People
Looking at the brilliance on Fat Li's pale face, several people by the fire laughed.
Perhaps, it was really a vain worry.
Luo Qi slightly stretched her frowning brows, and the gloomy look on her face gradually became much more relaxed.
"From here, it's only a few miles southeast to reach our destination."
Zhang Chunjun sat beside Wu Jin, stretched out his hands, and felt the scorching fire with his palms.
He spoke softly and softly, "When you find a clear water source, you will have a safe enough place to live." ”
"Little fatty, if you are still having diarrhea by then, we will not be afraid."
Hearing this, Fat Li jumped up from the ground and ran to Wu Jin's side.
"That's why I said."
Li Yuangang turned his head to look around, and said extremely weak words with an extremely excited look.
"We have to go faster."
"If you arrive early, you can build a house earlier."
"Those who sleep in the open like this have to get sick if they are not sick."
Hearing this, Zhang Qile said: "I said, that, Li Yuangang." ”
"It looks like you still like Warcraft!"
"You can even talk about the high-end term of building a house, but you are the attribute of a peasant in Warcraft, and you are the kind of small farmer who specializes in building buildings."
"Ahh
Li Yuangang spat at Zhang Qi through the fire, and said, "Fat man, I never play Western things. ”
"I only play Three Kingdoms!"
"Holy!"
Hearing this, Luo Qi glared at Li Yuangang at that time, and said sharply: "Dead fat!" ”
"You don't even play such fun games in the West!"
"But you have to play the old game of Japanese research, do you still have any consciousness of being a Chinese person!"
Hearing Luo Qi's scolding, Li Yuangang immediately nodded.
He laughed twice and said, "Brother Luo, Brother Luo." ”
"What, the Three Kingdoms I play is different from the Three Kingdoms made by the Japanese."
Li Yuangang restrained the smile on his face, looked at Luo Qi with a solemn face, and said, "I don't need money to play." ”
"It's a knockoff."
Hearing this, everyone immediately gave Li Yuangang a thumbs up, and said together with a sincere heart: "There is a future!" ”
As the number of people in the team increased, so did the consumption of food.
There weren't too many cooking utensils, and everyone could only get a lunch box in their hands.
The people in charge of cooking made a large pot with a little water, mixed with bacon, potatoes and dough.
Thirty-eight people divided the food in the lunch box, and Liu Yuan boiled some salty porridge for Li Yuangang alone.
The crowd gathered around several fires under the canvas and began to eat in silence.
Although there was a lot of delay along the way because of Li Yuangang, everyone was hungry at this time, but they all ate quickly, chewing slowly for a while, for fear that Lang would spend a little bit of food.
Luo Qi buried his head in the liquid food in the lunch box carefully, and at the same time drove the heat to gather in his ears, secretly listening to everything around him.
This temporary campsite is located at the top of a steep slope raised by a crevasse, so the view is extensive.
Standing here, you can see your surroundings very clearly.
This place is already next to Chengdu's Third Ring Road.
Unlike the urban area with many buildings, most of the buildings around the Third Ring Road did not exceed 15 meters, and many did not even exceed 10 meters.
Because of this height, these buildings are more resistant to earthquakes.
But even so, most of the buildings still collapsed.
A small number of the buildings that have not collapsed, and the tall buildings that still stand among the ruins have also tilted, and there are countless terrifying cracks on their surfaces.
Along the way, Luo Qi and the others passed through many inclined buildings, and found some black charcoal stacked on top of each other and had long been cooled.
It's just that they haven't met anyone else in this ruined wall.
Such a situation should be normal.
But it's not normal.
At the beginning, when Luo Qi followed Wu Jin out of the wall, he didn't go far before he met Yu Tong and Liu Yuan.
Later, everyone walked out of the construction site where Yu Tong and Liu Yuan lived, and they didn't go far before they met Cheng An and other 26 people.
It had only been a few days since that catastrophe, and even if there were all kinds of man-eating monsters wreaking havoc everywhere, it was impossible for people to die so quickly.
Therefore, it is most normal to meet survivors.
But without meeting the survivors, things are a little weird.
In fact, Luo Qi is not the only one who is aware of this.
"I have read the file records of the police station, at Wing Lee Street, Wing Stock Street and Cheung Wing Street, the foreign population of each community and each building in 2018 statistics show."
"It's about 700,000 people."
Gu Yunfei handed Tian's clean lunch box to Liu Yuan, then pursed his lips again before saying, "This is only the foreign population, and it is data from two years ago." ”
"And the total population of Sichuan Province is about 200 million."
"That's the equivalent of one-ninth of the total population of the republic, and of course, that's two years ago."
Gu Yunfei turned his head to look at the people around the bonfire, all of whom were deep in thought.
The brown pupils in his eyes moved slightly, and his gaze stayed on Luo Qi for a while, and then quickly moved to the side.
He deliberately accentuated his tone and said in a deep voice: "According to the latest statistics, the total population of the Republic today is close to two billion. ”
"According to the previous probability, the total population of Sichuan Province should be about 220 million, and considering the vast area of Sichuan Province, its real population should only be high."
"Chengdu is the political, cultural and economic center of Sichuan Province, which means that the total population of Chengdu should be the largest of all prefecture-level cities in Sichuan Province."
"In other words, the population of Chengdu is very likely to reach 20 million."
Gu Yunfei paused for a moment, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.
"The disaster happened, very suddenly."
"But after the disaster, even if only a tenth of the original number of survivors remained, there were more than two million."
"As for the man-eating monsters."
"Cheng An and I, as well as twenty-six comrades, hid in a pit and escaped the search of those man-eating monsters."
"There should be a lot of people, just like us."
"I didn't meet anyone today, I'm afraid this situation is unusual."
Hearing this, everyone frowned, and a trace of doubt appeared on their faces.
Wu Jin bit his lip, frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "But the most densely populated places in the city are generally around the first and second ring roads. ”
"I didn't meet anyone, maybe it was accidental."
"Maybe we'll meet survivors in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Gu Yunfei's face remained unchanged towards Wu Jin, nodded, and continued: "Of course." ”
"If you haven't seen anyone in the morning, maybe it's nothing."
"But the cooled piles we found along the way weren't so simple."
