Chapter 200: Home
In the early morning of the next day, when Pan Qihua and his gang were leisurely transporting soil on the roof to prepare to plant vegetables, Zheng Jieming and others were still worried about what to eat for the next meal.
Pan Qihua's team is not old, weak, sick or disabled, and Zheng Jieming's team has no other types except for "old", which limits their efficiency in survival.
But so far, no one in the team has complained, and no one has mentioned giving up a certain "oil bottle". Some people may be dissatisfied in their hearts, and they will complain to people close to them in private, but no one has openly provoked trouble on this issue.
In Pan Qihua's words, "You, including me, had better not hurt anyone!" We don't have weak people in our team, and if we get hurt, if we can't contribute, it's a dead end. β
And in the words of Zheng Jieming, "No one wants to give up, everyone may have an accident, or even be disabled and unable to take care of themselves, today you let us give up others, and the person who will be given up tomorrow may have to be you." β
Both philosophies of survival may be suitable for the end times. The survival of the fittest in the apocalypse is still valid, but the philosophies followed by Zheng Jieming and Pan Qihua are not the same.
"At least for now, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem in the west, and last night was quite peaceful, and there were no other problems." Early in the morning, Hua Feng took Wang Xinrui by the hand, and the two of them walked to the balcony to absorb the fresh air.
Last night everyone stayed in an express hotel, and in the last days, such a place turned out to be the most comfortable place to rest. The whole floor was completely safe after blocking the two escape exits and killing some naked and waiter-clad zombies.
"yes, it would be nice if we stayed in a stronghold and didn't have to run around to escape." Wang Xinrui looked out the window at the road, which was surprisingly quiet, with no zombies passing back and forth, and no enemies patrolling back and forth.
"In that case, the city is a paradise, right?" Hua Feng looked down at Wang Xinrui. Wang Xinrui smiled, she suddenly felt that if she was accompanied by Huafeng, the end would not be a big deal.
Zheng Jieming got up very early, and on this day, in order to ensure safety, he dispersed everyone to various rooms as much as possible to avoid a situation similar to that night of Geng Zhi. And Zheng Jieming was in the same room with Geng Zhi that night and took care of Geng Zhi in person. Therefore, although everyone else was resting well, Zheng Jieming still only squinted in his seat for a short while, and the dark shadow under his eyes became heavier and heavier.
Geng Zhi was still in a semi-comatose state, he had a low-grade fever, but fortunately there was no sign of corpse transformation. Zheng Jieming opened his eyes to check, the color of his eyeballs was normal, and his heartbeat was normal, and the biggest problem now was that he couldn't eat, so he could only pour him some sugar water to drink.
Zhou Jitang and Chang Bing walked into the house and looked at Geng Zhi's situation.
"I was like that at the time, right? Sleepless. Zheng Jieming turned his head and asked Zhou Jitang.
"yes, it feels pretty similar." Zhou Jitang replied.
"I must have been asleep for almost two days, right? He was also unconscious in that ventilation duct, so Geng Zhi should almost wake up. Zheng Jieming looked back on his experience at that time, hoping that the experience at that time would also work on Geng Zhi.
"Let's hope, we all hope he wakes up, he's smart." Chang Bing said.
"Now there is another problem, we don't have anything to eat, there is not much stock in the hotel, only a few snacks, which are expected to be emptied by us soon." Zhou Jitang said.
This area is near Zheng Jieming's house, he is very familiar with this side, where there are delicatessen, where there are fast food restaurants, where there are supermarkets, where there are commissaries, all of them are clear, Zheng Jieming immediately sketched in his mind a route map of the fastest round trip and the most stores.
"I'm familiar with this area, so I'll take a few people around." Zheng Jieming said, although he was very sleepy, he still cheered up.
"You let the others go, you don't seem to have a good night's rest, and then get some sleep, it's rare for us to have such good rest conditions." Chang Bing said.
Just as he was talking about this, a man and a woman suddenly shouted from next door.
The three of them thought there was some accident, but when they listened carefully, it was Liu Qianwen and Li Xuan.
"Well, this rest condition seems to be really good." Zheng Jieming said, "I'd better go, my family is nearby, I am familiar with this place, and my family also stocked a lot of food at that time, so I can move it together." β
Chang Bing nodded, took over the task of taking care of Geng Zhi, Zhou Jitang waited for Zheng Jieming to go out, pretended to go out, watched Zheng Jieming go to the opposite side and knocked on the door of the golden tiger, turned his head to look at Chang Bing, and smiled evilly.
"Let's have a good rest, shall we? Such good conditions, don't waste it. β
This time, Chang Bing didn't immediately refute it, her face turned red.
She lived with Fang Xinping and Wang Chengnan last night, although she didn't say it, she actually didn't have a good taste in her heart.
In such an apocalypse, she also wants to find someone to rely on more and more, and Zhou Jitang has always been close to her and protected her, she sees that in her eyes, she is always not wood, and her heart will not be unresponsive.
"Hehe, I won't tell you yet, I'll come back tonight and talk to you and sleep in another room." Zhou Jitang saw that Chang Bing had no objection, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Chang Bing's face turned even redder, and he turned his head to look at Geng Zhi, "You go with Zheng Jieming and them, I'll take care of Geng Zhi." β
"Well, you are especially suitable for taking care of people who are unconscious, and I will lie down in a coma for a while, and I will take care of you on the side." Zhou Jitang said, completely revealing his primitive character.
Li Xuan and Liu Qianwen were fighting, the hotel room was not soundproofed as imagined, and the men were itching to be disturbed, but they were too lazy to knock on the door, so everyone could only change to a slightly inner room. Hua Feng and Wang Xinrui, a young couple newly formed in the midst of children's suffering, although they just stood on the balcony hand in hand and did not make such a sound, but everyone also made up their minds and did not want to bother.
Zheng Jieming took Zhou Jitang, Jin Hu, and Wei Zilong out.
Hang Ming took Zhuang Yi's mother and son, and never dared to cross the "thunder" pool half a step, at this time, Hang Ming, Zhang Xiushan, Jin Yue and others stayed in the hotel, Xie Wuzi climbed to the rooftop by himself, observing the surrounding situation.
"Go up on your own, be careful, uh, hunter." Hang Ming reminded him.
"It's okay, I'm used to being alone, and besides, there's Xiaobai reminding me." Xie Wuzi replied.
"What? Xiaobai? Hang Ming felt that Xie Wuzi sometimes spoke strangely, and he always spoke to the air by himself.
"Well, he's always secretly helping me anytime and anywhere, don't worry." Xie Wuzi climbed onto the roof.
There is no abnormal movement around, there are some zombies wandering in the distant block, next to the amusement park, there are not many zombies in the amusement parkββββ when the zombie crisis broke out, the amusement park has not yet opened.
"Xiaobai, you're here too, then you can help me look out for the wind." Xie Wuzi said to a flattened hydrogen balloon beside him, he now has a skillββββ he calls all objects, zombies, and pictures in the shape of a human face. The experience of continuous lonely survival, in his now slightly pale world, Xiaobai has become his omnipresent good friend.
He's not schizophrenic, he's just going to need someone to talk to him all the time.
Zheng Jieming and others swept the surrounding small supermarkets, commissaries, and all kinds of catering stores, although the materials were not abundant, but they still gained quite a lot, at least they could have enough materials, and they could stay in the express hotel for another two or three days, and there were still stocks in many catering shops. Unfortunately, there is no big supermarket nearby, so it is difficult for them to get more supplies.
"There is also a reluctant request, I want everyone to accompany me to my house again." Zheng Jieming passed by his own community, looked at the familiar building, and especially wanted to revisit the old place.
Although his father, mother, and sister all left his life early, it has always been the most precious spiritual home in his heart.
"No problem, understandable, sir." Zhou Jitang deliberately grinned, "May I ask the sir, which one is your house?" Do you need me to open the door for you? β
Zheng Jieming glanced at Zhou Jitang and said, "Yes, my key is long gone." β
The four of them hurried to Zheng Jieming's house, their home was in an old-fashioned community, which was the compound of the army back then, and later many people were assigned new houses, so they rented out these old houses, and they could earn thousands of dollars per month's rent.
The buildings here are all five storeys high, originally red brick houses, but now the outside has been added with insulation and yellow wall paint, which looks bright and new.
There was originally an access control system at the door, but it was also out of order at this time, so he walked up with a slight pull and rushed straight up to the fifth floor.
However, when he arrived at the door, he was surprised to find that the door was open!
"This is your home? Looks like I don't need to open the door. Zhou Jitang said.
Zheng Jieming glanced at Zhou Jitang, opened the door suspiciously, and saw that the room was in chaos, as if it had been turned over by someone from the bottom up.
"Your family...... Is this a thief......" Wei Zilong said, "or ...... Are there survivors coming to your house looking for something to eat? β
But this idea was quickly overturned. Because Zheng Jieming went to the toilet and found that even the toilet had been smashed open. No one should think that food is hidden in the toilet!
When they arrived in the kitchen, everyone found that the food was still there, which further negated the idea just now.
"Do you have anything valuable?" Jin Hu asked Zheng Jieming.
Something valuable? I did come home this time to pick up my valuables, but that was my memory, and no one could take them.
Zheng Jieming thought, walked straight to the bedroom, and took out the box containing the golden key from the bedside table.
But only my sister's letter and bank card were left in it.
