Chapter 556: A New Crisis
Chen Xiaohui's calmness calmed Shi Ruoyu's mood a little, he nodded and planned to go back to the back to confirm with Xia Yingying for the last time, but heard Chen Xiaohui say again: "By the way, you go to the back and ask your Miss Wanqing, is there any hand-drawn map or navigator?" I don't know the way...... I can't just drive to the west, I see, we have to take the highway, be open, there were fewer people in the past, and now there are fewer zombies! ”
Chen Xiaohui is not joking, the navigator is not unusable in the end of the world, this thing needs two elements to work normally, one is power supply, which is not a big problem for the super-large battery of the Optimus Prime, not to mention that the mental hospital also has a small diesel generator, and the roof of the Optimus Prime is also covered with solar panels.
Another element is the global positioning system, this system actually relies mainly on artificial satellites, although it is now over, but artificial satellites do not seem to be affected much, still dedicated around the earth, the global positioning system has not collapsed.
After Shi Ruoyu returned to his room, he first mentioned it to Xia Yingying, he had already decided that everyone would go to the capital, find the power distribution room of the East Gate Cinema, and see what the owner of the mobile phone was hiding.
Then he mentioned a word about the navigator to the yawning lady, and the latter said more simply: "It's not simple, just get a smartphone, as long as it has that so-and-so map in it, you can't use it......"
Shi Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's a good way, but the problem is that these software also need to download map packages......"
This time, Xia Yingying said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are walking along the highway, and drivers must use these software frequently." There should be a download map. Let's be patient and look for more, and it will be fine. ”
Shi Ruoyu thought about it. No more wasting time dwelling on these details.
Although the largest earthquake has passed, there are still some aftershocks from time to time, and the Optimus Prime, driven by Shen Wenting of the 'crazy personality', gallops in the desert like a wild horse, and has begun to move away from the center of the earthquake at a speed of more than 100 per hour.
After a little rain, the Optimus Prime probably flew for about three hours, at least nearly 300 kilometers, and finally began to gradually feel the impact of the earthquake. The car became more and more stable, and half of his hanging heart could finally be put down, at least the group in the mental hospital was temporarily safe, and the remaining half was still hanging, of course, worrying about his mother and brother.
After being a little relieved, Shi Ruoyu was called by Xiao Wanqing to donate blood again, saying that Captain Yu's injury was too serious, and he was seriously lacking recuperation after being injured and participated in several fierce battles, resulting in excessive blood loss, and she had to keep replenishing her blood.
Of course, Shi Ruoyu didn't say a word about this, rolled up his sleeves and went. However, the eldest lady muttered a few words to herself, indicating that this was not a long-term solution. The blood in your body is always limited......
Then she seriously pondered the possibility of going to the hospital along the road to get a little blood reserve, but soon the eldest lady gave up, because now the end has passed a year and a half, even if the hospital has a backup power supply, it has long been exhausted, which means that the freezer has stopped operating, and the spare blood stored in it has long been unusable.
In the end, the eldest lady came to a conclusion that the simplest and most effective way is to directly catch a few survivors with matching blood types and raise them, and put a little blood every day...... Of course, this evil idea was directly rejected by Shi Ruoyu...... In any case, as a human being, he still has a moral bottom line, even if he is in the last days.
When lying on the hospital bed with blood, Shi Ruoyu noticed that not only the tubes, bottles, and needles used for blood donation were all professional medical materials, but even Yu Yerong also had a heart rate monitoring device hanging next to her, and the green indicator light showed her heart rate and blood pressure and other indicators.
Shi Ruoyu was stunned for a while and noticed that the sky was getting darker outside, and it was supposed to be time to find a place to rest, but now that the situation is urgent, everyone agrees that it is better to stay away from the ruins of Blackwater City as soon as possible, who knows if there will be a more terrible earthquake?!
So Shi Ruoyu entrusted Xia Yingying to arrange, the cockpit four-person group should change shifts, fatigue driving and combat is not a good strategy, this time the driver was replaced by Wang Lina, her classmate and best friend Tang Siran sat in the passenger seat, and the rear seat of the cockpit also arranged Fan Yujie's children and little Lori Yunyun to be responsible for pressing the formation, the two little girls looked very harmless, but Shi Ruoyu knew very well that once they fought, they were simply killing (zombie) machines, and with them, ordinary zombies could not pose a threat at all.
Shi Ruoyu also felt a little tired after donating blood, and after handing over the work of formulating the route to Xia Yingying and Xiao Wanqing, he went back to the room and fell asleep.
In a daze, Shi Ruoyu occasionally heard some battle sounds, but basically it sounded a few times and then stopped, mixed with Yunyun's unique silver bell-like laughter, and although the engine roar of the Optimus Prime stopped intermittently, it was generally less stopped, and most of the time the giant truck was in a crazy run!
Shi Ruoyu is very accustomed to this kind of pause, driving on the road is not really on the highway, the road is full of abandoned cars and even big trees blown down by the wind, as well as collapsed houses, these roadblocks must be cleared to drive down, in addition, everyone's daily necessities also need to be replenished frequently, and it has become a habit for everyone to explore and collect all the way.
Just started and stopped all night, and when Shen Wenting and the others rested enough and went back to take over, Shi Ruoyu also woke up, he walked out of his room, and when he walked through the medical room, Yu Yerong happened to be awake, and said softly after seeing Shi Ruoyu: "Ruoyu, are you awake?" It just so happened that I heard Xiaohui say just now, it seems that he is about to arrive in Qin City! ”
Shi Ruoyu sighed, Qin City is not the first time they have come to the end of the world, and the feeling of revisiting the old place in the end is still a little weird.
Passing through Qin City is definitely not accidental, this route is nine times out of ten formulated by the eldest lady, she must want to collect some special materials here, to be precise, some special things that are relatively easy to find in big cities.
Yu Yerong then said: "This place is already quite far away from the ruins of Blackwater City, and I have also chatted with Officer Xia for a few words, and we both feel that it is time to take a little rest and replenish some supplies." ”
Shi Ruoyu smiled reluctantly and said: "Okay, I also agree, I'll go and explain to the little girl, go around the city, don't be in a hurry." ”
Soon the Optimus Prime began to slow down, slowly moving along the streets of Qindu, their first target was a large supermarket, a general department store and a large hospital, the second target was a large residential area and a street health center, and then a school and a factory, with their experience of surviving in the apocalypse, these places were the most abundant.
In addition to a few wounded people and Xiao Loli who stayed to watch the car, all the staff of the mental hospital were dispatched to collect materials together in several groups to improve efficiency and speed up.
Shi Ruoyu and Fan Yujie's children and Lao Ye and Ah Chou are divided into one group, they are responsible for searching a residential community with relatively high difficulty, and the other groups are responsible for searching a central hospital not far away and a large shopping supermarket opposite the community, so the distribution is mainly due to the existence of Ah Chou, his nose is definitely an artifact for searching for materials in a complex environment.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected, Shi Ruoyu and they casually walked into a residential building, two stairs and four households, Lao Ye picked up the giant axe and slammed the door a few times, and then shouted a few words at Ah Ugly.
Immediately afterwards, Ah Chou also raised his head and shouted at Lao Ye Yitong very energetically, Ye Yizhou waited for it to finish calling expressionlessly, and then turned his head to look at Shi Ruoyu and said lightly: "Ah Chou said that there is no food here......"
Although Shi Ruoyu was also disappointed, it was expected, the end time had been so long, and this large community had obviously been looted by the survivors.
But he didn't give up because of this, the survivors must have been in a hurry, there are always a lot of omissions, and there are some things that others can't use, but they are very useful to their mental hospital, and they can't be scandalized, such as drugs, small electrical equipment, tools, batteries, etc., these things can be turned into treasure in the hands of Xiao Wanqing and Ren Guobin, for example, the eldest lady even installed an ultra-thin LCD TV in her bedroom with Shi Ruoyu, and connected a computer to watch the film.
Shi Ruoyu and a few friends spent a full three or four hours in this community, but in the end, the harvest was really not ideal, so he could only return to the Optimus Prime with a sack of batteries and a small part of the medicine.
Xia Yingying's team to the hypermarket was also very disappointing, there was almost no valuable food, and like Shi Ruoyu, he only brought back some electrical equipment.
Only Xiao Wanqing led the team to the central hospital to gain a little, and when he came back, Liu Xi took a few younger brothers with several sacks of medicine behind their backs, it seems that doctors in the survivors of the apocalypse are also scarce resources.
After that, they went to several hypermarkets, and the results were the same, everything else was fine, including medicine, but it became more and more difficult to collect food.
As the saying goes, people take food as the sky, and it is not a solution to find useful food, although their current food reserves are quite sufficient, but there will always be a day when they will sit and eat, which is also a new crisis faced by their group in the mental hospital!
