Chapter 8 Be prepared
After cooking a few dishes very seriously, Xu Si was worried about Moutai and Wuliangye on the table. He couldn't decide which one to drink. Of these two kinds of wine, he only sipped one or two on the New Year's dinner table of the unit. That's right, just one or two. One table and one bottle, this is still the boss's grace. A bottle of wine is divided into ten people, and the bottled wine is nine taels, which is cost-effective, and each person does not have one or two wines. But that's it, after eating, there are still people who will go out to show off. "Brother is Moutai today, do you smell it?"
"Life~" Xu Si looked at the Moutai and Wuliangye stacked in the corner, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"Whew~!" Drinking half a cup of Moutai, Xu Si took a long breath. And Cheng Sen was holding a bottle of Erguotou and drinking there by himself. Neither of them spoke, but sat opposite each other and drank sullen wine. Occasionally, a chopstick dish, the clanging sound of the bowl and chopsticks colliding, the rattling sound of chewing, mixed with one or two cat meows, are countless movements in the room!
"In the past, although life was unsatisfactory in one way or another, I felt at peace when I came home every day, watched TV with an apple in my arms, and listened to the noise of square dancing outside the window. Today, thousands of bottles of wine are drunk and hundreds of packs of cigarettes are smoking, but why do you feel that there is no decline in your heart? Xu Si screwed the lid of the wine bottle, filled himself a bowl of rice and said softly.
"People are social animals, and they will naturally feel lonely and scared when they are suddenly alone! Do you know what punishment I feared most when I was in the army? It's not practice, it's not writing checks, it's confinement. In a room, you are alone, and if you stay there for two days, you can't stand it. Cheng Sen drank a bottle of Erguotou and gently put the bottle down. I picked up a few peanuts with chopsticks and threw them into my mouth and said slowly to Xu Si.
"Shall we just linger?" Xu Si put the bowl down, looked at Cheng Sen and asked. It's been more than half a month, those neighbors, friends, and relatives who were familiar with me before. There was no news of them, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Being aggrieved in this room every day, Xu Si felt as if he had nowhere to vent his grievances.
"Of course not, but that's all we can do for now. I guess the water and electricity will be gone soon. Before we do that, we need to do a few things! One, get ready for a relatively good vehicle, you and I can't get out of here on a pair of feet. Second, the supply should also be stockpiled faster, especially salt, sugar, water, batteries, etc.! Third, weapons, we have to find a way to get weapons. On the way out, no one knows what will happen. With weapons in hand, whatever comes, at least we won't be without the ability to fight back. Cheng Sen lit a cigarette and looked at Xu Si opposite through the curling smoke.
"You want to get out of here too?" After listening to Cheng Sen, Xu Si hurriedly asked. In the entire city, so far he has only met Cheng Sen as a living person. He had long wanted to leave this dead city and go wherever he wanted, as long as there were living people.
"We're going to be here for two or three years at most. The stuff in the supermarket, even if you don't look at the expiration date, will be inedible for three years at most, and the city is full of steel and concrete, and there is no place for us to be self-sufficient. What about two or three years from now? What are we going to do?! Besides, we don't know how many zombies exist here. Cheng Sen tapped the coffee table with his hand and put the questions in front of Xu Si one by one.
"Resources, now that resources have stopped production and manufacturing, we can only temporarily consume those stocks. But the city is only so big, and the inventory will always be depleted one day. Crucially, we don't know if anyone has survived. How many people survived, and how many of these survivors were content with the status quo, and how many were not satisfied with the status quo. Those who are content with the status quo are easy to say. Those who are not satisfied with the status quo will pose a great threat to us. For example, if we're thinking about how to stock up on supplies, they must be thinking the same way. Materials, in the future, will become the most fierce object of competition among the survivors. Cheng Sen told Xu Si all the details he had considered these days.
"You're saying it's not just zombies that will threaten us in the future? Will there be humans? Xu Si felt that Cheng Sen was a little alarmist. According to him, everyone has survived this disaster with great difficulty, and they should unite to help each other!
"Most people are selfish, and when you only have a bottle of water and a piece of bread, can you expect others to be polite to you? What's more, the thing of courtesy has long ceased to exist. In the future, I can say that a human life is not worth a bottle of mineral water! Cheng Sen shook his head, as if he was a little speechless about Xu Si's innocence. But it was precisely because of Xu Si's kindness and honesty that he decided to take Xu Si with him.
"When I was studying, my teacher used to teach us, 'I am for all, and everyone is for me!' Heh~" Xu Si understood the meaning of Cheng Sen's words, and he also knew what the current situation was like! But he just didn't understand, could it be that what the teacher said in class back then was wrong?
"I'm a human being, and I can basically get rid of it. For a period of time, everyone was for me, and it once occupied a dominant position in society. Although everyone does not admit it, this is the status quo. You should know that! So Xu Si, in the future, your heart will have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless. Alive, better than anything else! Cheng Sen didn't want this friend who had known him for a long time to give his life because of kindness. Immediately reminded him there, the nature of the country is easy to change, although he knows that Xu Si is impossible to change in the short term, but he feels that he still has the obligation to remind this friend.
"Alas~ These things to worry about, you just have to do it! I just want to find a place to stay, and if I am lucky, I can meet a woman with a good temperament. That's enough, that's enough! Xu Si scratched his head, took the apple that was staring at him into his arms, and said to Cheng Sen.
Seeing this, Cheng Sen smiled at Xu Si and pulled out the pistol inserted in his waist. One by one, the bullets were checked aside, and then they were loaded back into the nest and inserted into the waist. Six rubber bullets, with Cheng Sen's skill and accuracy, are enough to subdue several opponents within 30 meters. Since he had this revolver, Cheng Sen's heart was much more peaceful. This may have something to do with the fact that he was a soldier before, and the gun is the second life of a soldier.
"Rest early, tomorrow we will not move. The day after tomorrow, we will go to that supermarket again and try to pull another batch of supplies back. Looking at Xu Si, who was fiddling with the computer with an apple, Cheng Sen said to him.
