Chapter VI. Death under the gaze
Back at the shelter, Yi Ling unloaded while recording, and by the time all the supplies were put into the basement, it was already half past nine in the evening, and the hungry Yi Ling couldn't wait to cook a meal, so he directly cooked a pot of hot dumplings and ate a delicious meal, added a quilt to the bed, and fell asleep deeply.
The next day, Yi Ling got up early, got out of a pot of rice balls, changed into new clothes, and was full of energy.
There are still a lot of supplies waiting to be moved in the department store, and it's exciting to think about!
By the way, I really froze when I went out yesterday, so I need to add a sweater today.
Yi Ling muttered and put on an extra sweater for himself, then put on the protective clothing and started today's work.
The cold wind was howling, and the sky seemed to be overcast again.
The nuclear winter has begun, and it is cooling down every day, and it is estimated that it will fall a few degrees below zero in a few days, and I am afraid that people will freeze to death by then......
The haze in the sky also added a shadow to Yi Ling's heart, his personal strength was like a mantis arm blocking the car in the face of natural disasters, in this environment, he had to do his best to protect himself, and he didn't care if others lived or died.
Walking on the road on a bicycle, Yi Ling's heart kept thinking about the possibilities of the future.
Yi Ling did not choose to drive the tractor to the town, but left the tractor in the pig barn where the farmers used to raise pigs.
If you ride a bicycle over, Yi Ling can drive another tractor back, and Yi Ling's goal today is to drive all three intact tractors back.
After yesterday's cleanup, the road conditions were much better, and I arrived at the farmers' market in less than 20 minutes, driving a tractor and rushing to the department store non-stop.
Pushing the shopping cart up to the third floor, we continued to start the journey of sweeping.
Found large canned cookies in the biscuit section, not in large quantities, filled four shopping carts, hoping that the chocolate chip cookies did not melt in the heat......
A large amount of yogurt and ice cream in the chilled area are still intact, but they are inedible, the yogurt spoils quickly, and the ice cream melts.
The canned fruit in the next area gave Yi Ling a great surprise.
Nowadays, fruit is a rare thing, this thing is broken quite quickly, the fruit in the fruit store is not edible, Yi Ling himself did not store fruit in the cellar, now if you want to eat some fruit, you can only eat tomato sauce to satisfy your cravings, the five carts of canned fruit found this time are really a big surprise, but unfortunately many glass jars are broken, otherwise there are more.
Truckload by cart on the tractor, Yi Ling began to explore new areas again.
Perhaps favored by Lady Luck, Yi Ling found a large number of cans.
Canned fish, canned beef, three shelves of luncheon meat.
Yi Ling moved these things for an hour alone, and directly loaded half a tractor.
The canned food is very easy to store, it can be stacked and stacked very high, and this time Yi Ling is going to pull some more things to take back with him.
Canned milk powder? That's a good thing!
Mei Zizi brought four truckloads of milk powder, and Yi Ling went up to move the materials again.
Hot sauce, chili peppers, small fish, dried sauerkraut, pickles, Yi Ling made a full eight cars, and the tractor really couldn't fit it, so he called it a day and left.
After driving back to the shelter, unloading the goods, and having lunch, Yi Ling immediately began to deliver the third trip.
The things on the third floor have basically been moved, and the rest is the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is mostly used for health and nutrition products, and there are also a lot of bulk cereals.
You can't eat it in bulk, and if you eat it, you might get gastrointestinal cancer.
Most of these things are unreliable, but there should be no problem with eating health food.
The number of health care products on the fourth floor is terrifying, and the sales volume of these health foods in the township is amazing, so the inventory is also terrifying.
Yi Ling was full of fourteen truckloads of health care products, what honey, ejiao, fish gelatin, fish oil, bird's nest, all kinds of messy things were piled up.
In the end, all the barely edible food in the store was removed, and the department store was basically cleaned.
Loading and returning, sorting and unloading, after all the work was completed, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Ling planned to go around the town again.
This time, Yi Ling directly drove a tractor out, filled up the diesel, and went out in a hurry.
This time, the target was the Public Security Bureau, which was also not far from the center of the town, and the road conditions were okay, and it took half an hour to clear a passable road.
The once orderly sign is now in tatters, the door number has been blown over by the air waves, the paint on the surface has been melted by the high temperature, and the large red letters are now unreadable.
Pick up the door number and lean it against the edge of the door, which can be regarded as nostalgia for the past.
With a complicated mood brushing off the dust on the door number, Yi Ling walked into the police station with his head down.
The police station is empty, it should be that the collective retreat has been given the news, there seems to be no particularly obvious civil air defense facilities in the town, but it seems that the evacuation of the people in the police station is orderly, and valuable things are taken away, and there is a haven for public shelter.
Office computers were swept to the floor, wiring was tangled in a mess, and text files were burned into broken fragments flying in the hallways......
Something is wrong, someone has been here......
Yi Ling frowned, checking one computer after another.
The chassis was opened, someone wanted to find the hard disk from the computer host to get the data, but I didn't expect the EMP to burn the hard disk directly, this person was unwilling to check all the computers, and found that all the damage was without exception......
Why do people come back to the police station to look for data? Are there humans still alive in the town?
The further back you go, the more chaotic the trail becomes.
The documents in the drawer were scattered on the ground in a mess, and the top one of them shocked Yi Ling.
This is a report on the use of firearms......
Picking up the document, Yi Ling quickly skimmed through it.
In peacetime, every police station has a gun, but every gun and even every bullet is recorded, and what weapon was used to shoot how many bullets, which bullet hit where and what consequences must be recorded.
That's what this report is about.
Of course, the focus is not on where the bullets go, what Yi Ling cares about is that this report records the location of the gun hangar.
According to the description in the report, Yi Ling found the gun storage after searching for more than ten minutes, but the scene in front of him made him break out in a cold sweat.
At the door of the repository, a man, no, a male corpse leaned against the iron door with his back tilted, his head tilted to the side, lying quietly on the ground.
It must have been not long after he died, and he wanted to come to the police station to look for a weapon like me......
The man's corpse was supposed to be vomiting blood before he died, and the blood flowed down his chin to his chest, and when it dried up, it formed a hideous blood spot.
The dark red puddle on the ground should also be the blood he vomited, the deceased should have gone through a painful struggle before he died, his feet were kicked in a pool of blood in pain, the strangulation marks on his neck should have been pinched out by himself in extreme pain, and he could see from the side that the deceased's thyroid gland was abnormally hypertrophied from the side.
It looks like it's radiation sickness...... The deceased went out to look for supplies without hazmat suits, contracted severe radiation sickness, and finally died of vomiting blood in agony......
Painful soul, I wish you well, in fact, you are just one step away from success.
Yi Ling helped the deceased close his eyes and took the key to the storage room from him.
With a squeak explosion, a puff of dust erupted from the door, and Yi Ling waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of the eyepiece, so that he could see the face of the door.
Rows of pouches contained several models of firearms.
Most of them were old Type 64 pistols, and only a few Type 92 pistols matched the description in the report.
Yi Ling has never used a pistol, not even seen it, today is the first time to see it, if it is not for the corresponding content in the report, Yi Ling probably can't even recognize the model of the gun.
After tossing around for a long time with a Type 64 pistol, Yi Ling probably understood how to use it, so he unloaded all the magazines of the pistols and loaded them separately from the pistol.
With a tap of the harvest, there were nine Type 64 pistols and two Type 92 pistols, and the number of bullets was even smaller, with only more than 500 Type 92 bullets and a lot of Type 64 bullets, almost more than 2,000.
The power of the Type 64 pistol is very small, although it is not written in the report, but Yi Ling vaguely remembers that there was a news a few years ago, the police held the Type 64 pistol, faced the vicious bandits, fired four shots in a row, the bandits were still alive, and later survived after rescue.
And the most critical point is that the Type 64 pistol has a very small cartridge capacity, and here it is all old models, and it can only hold five rounds.
Therefore, the only thing that can really cause damage to the enemy is the Type 92 pistol, and the Type 64 is enough to scare people.
The power of the Type 92 pistol is much greater, a full nine millimeters caliber, a single shot can kill a person.
Yi Ling planned to go home and study carefully, and when the time came to go out to search for supplies, it would be safer to bring a gun.
There were also some police grenades in the police station, most of which were stun grenades or the like, but Yi Ling didn't take them away.
The main thing is that Yi Ling doesn't know how to use it, if he uses the wrong method to injure himself, it will be a big deal, and in this era, being injured is basically equal to half dead.
And Yi Ling is also afraid of an accident when transporting, so he will be transported in a hemp bag and transported by a tractor, in case something blows up in the car, won't my car be gone.
Well, you can't just keep it for others.
Yi Ling kept an eye on it, he didn't want it and didn't give it to others, he carefully took these things and threw them from the urinal into the sewer.
Dragging boxes of supplies, happily loaded onto the tractor, and was about to return when a figure rushed out on the side of the road.
I'm grass, someone!
Yi Ling's eyelids were beating wildly, his heart was beating rapidly, his blood was flowing wildly, his brain was urging the organs to supply oxygen, releasing danger signals to his body, and his adrenaline began to soar......
Calm down, calm down, get the gun out first!
Regardless of whether the person was endangering his thoughts or not, Yi Ling decided to protect himself first.
Take out a 64-type, put on the magazine, open the safety and pull the bolt, at a critical moment, Yi Ling is like a divine help, a set. The action is smooth.
However, just as Yi Ling was aiming, the figure staggered a few steps, suddenly bent down sharply, spit out a large pile of things, and then fell to the ground without life.
This is...... What's the situation......
Adrenaline was still secreting, and his heart rate was soaring, but Yi Ling's brain was not exceptionally calm.
Is this dead? Or are you luring me over?
With the pistol in hand, Yi Ling had some confidence and slowly approached the past.
The distance was only more than twenty meters, and Yi Ling could see the figure lying on the ground halfway through, judging from the length of her hair, it should be a woman.
The woman fell to the ground suddenly, and her face touched the ground first, theoretically speaking, she would not be pretending, and if she was pretending, her heart was too hard, and the act of hitting the ground with her face was not done by ordinary people.
Getting closer, Yi Ling had already seen the whole picture.
A ragged woman fell to the ground, her body twisting unnaturally, her face hitting the ground and rubbing against the rough ground for a long distance, and the ground was covered in blood and flesh.
There was also a large pool of blood under the woman's body, although the slight rise and fall of the chest and lungs could be seen, but it seemed that the woman should not live.
Severe radiation sickness, her fate was decided from the moment she vomited blood, and her radiation symptoms were even more severe, affecting the central nervous system, causing her to die very quickly.
This woman can't be married to the police station, right......
Although Yi Ling is used to seeing dead people, seeing someone die in front of him with his own eyes is a completely different experience, which makes Yi Ling feel sour in his heart, a chill in his back, and a sense of desolation like a rabbit and a dead fox spontaneously.
Manpower is limited, so it can only be so.
He took out a hundred-dollar bill, lit it with a lighter, and placed it next to the female corpse, which can be regarded as a simple funeral and sacrifice.
Slightly relieved the depression in his heart, Yi Ling didn't dare to think about it, and drove the tractor on the way home.
