Chapter Seventy-Four: Snow Day
Wang He, wearing a thick down jacket, drove a motorcycle through the vast snow, and the dashboard of the motorcycle showed a map of the vicinity, but there was no navigation function, and it did not play a role in the vast snow.
"Dead fatty, didn't you say it wouldn't snow heavily? It's been a blizzard, and the snow is at least a foot thick. Wang He angrily shouted over the radio that it had been two hours since they set out, and the snow had not stopped, but had become heavier and heavier.
On the Paramount following the motorcycle, Li Chenyang wrapped himself in a blanket and replied aggrievedly: "How do I know, it really hasn't snowed heavily......"
Wu Ting, who was driving, said: "Don't talk about him, no one would have thought that it would be this kind of weather, so let's find a place to avoid it first, this road is very difficult to walk, and the tires have been slipping when the anti-skid mode is turned on." ”
Wang He has long wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, the four-wheeled car is skidding, and the two-wheeled motorcycle has already slid out of the sky, thanks to Li Chenyang adding two training wheels to the anti-skid mode of the motorcycle, otherwise Wang He doesn't know how many falls he has fallen.
But on this blizzard day, with goose-featherlike snowflakes and a strong wind that makes people unable to open their eyes, the visibility is less than five meters, where can you find a place to hide from the wind and snow.
"Why don't I go and explore the way." In the radio headset, Li Jingou said that he and Shi Chong drove the Mercedes-Benz and followed at the tail end.
"It's okay, be careful, don't be pushy." In desperation, this was probably the only way, and Wang He had no choice but to agree.
Li Jingou took the order to leave, but an hour had passed, and no news had come back, so he was already a little impatient to hide in Paramount and wait for Wang He for the time being.
After the radio call was fruitless, Wang He was about to jump out of the car, ready to go to find someone in person, but it was freezing this day, and his vision was blocked, for fear that something would happen to Li Jingou.
"Go 500 meters, go one kilometer in the direction of two o'clock, you can be stationed, I am waiting for you here." Li Jingou's slightly tired voice suddenly sounded on the radio, this blizzard did not affect the signal of this radio, and military products are really trustworthy.
"Okay, Roger."
The convoy set off again, in the gloomy snowstorm like the evening, it was difficult to distinguish the road, during which the motorcycle fell into the pit several times, and thanks to Wang He's strength, he finally found Li Jingou without danger.
This is a construction site, the scale is really not small, it seems to be a playground under construction or something, under the guidance of Li Jingou, directly drove the vehicle into a building that was nearly completed, and everyone got out of the car to look at the surrounding environment.
This building has only three floors, although there are no doors and windows installed, but the whole building is surrounded by corridors on the outer floor, and a hall on the inner floor, and the whole building is like two cardboard boxes one large and one small, probably to make a theater like VRSoaring.
There are two entrances and exits in the inner hall on the first floor, and the vehicles are parked on both sides at the exit, slightly blocking the unknown danger, and the five people began to worry again.
There was no fuel available in this place, not even a piece of paper could be found, Li Jingou was a little frozen, lying in the car for a long time, Wang He and Shi Chong decided to go out to find fuel, only the two of them didn't seem to feel the cold.
After walking around this construction site, I found a lot of wood in the snow, but unfortunately it was soaked in the snow that had just fallen in the morning, and now it is frozen out of the ice ballast, such wood is very difficult, and it has to be dried first.
Shi Chong's harvest was similar, he came back with a pile of wet firewood, and he still needed to find some ignition materials, Wang He saw a row of simple houses where workers lived at the construction site, and decided to try his luck there.
There must be zombies in the house, and looking at the size of the house, there are at least a few thousand migrant workers, but despite this, Wang He still plans to take the risk to take a look.
After all, if you don't heat up as soon as possible, and the solar energy has run out, he doesn't want to waste too much gasoline and use the car's air conditioner.
However, the zombies in the house quickly relieved Wang He's heart, maybe the zombies had no body temperature, the moisture on their bodies was frozen into ice, and the zombies were frozen into frozen meat, and they were stiff in place one by one, let alone walking, and they couldn't even roar.
Wang He collected a few quilts and some tables, chairs and benches, found a sheet and tore it into strips of cloth and tied it together, carried it and walked back, as for those zombies, he didn't pay attention to it, he couldn't even move anyway, and he was too lazy to bother with his hands and feet.
With dry tables and chairs, it was easy to make a fire, and soon a bonfire was set up, the warmth of the flame dispelled the cold, and the big guy sat on the futon and roasted the fire.
A few pieces of red-hot firewood were picked out and stuffed into the homemade camping stove on the side, the stove was boiling water, and a few cups of hot boiling water were poured into his stomach, and Li Jingou finally eased up.
"Looks like we're going to be here for a while, at least until the snow stops." Wang He picked up a piece of dried wood, threw it into the fire, and whispered to Wu Ting, who was nestled in his arms.
"Your father and Xiaohu must be safe now, Zhang Xingkai will help you take care of them, but it's just a few days of delay."
"I hope so......" Wang He sighed, rubbed the soft wattle in his hand, let go gently, stood up and walked out.
"I just saw that there is a kitchen in the migrant workers' dormitory, so I'll go see what I can eat."
"Don't we have food?" Hearing this, the fat man asked Ramon puzzled.
"If you can save that bit of food, you can save it, the amount of food is not small, and it will be gone after a few meals." Wang He replied, then turned over the car and walked into the snowstorm.
"Brother Wang is really working hard, how good it is to wait for the snow to stop and then look for food, I have to suffer this crime." Li Chenyang lay on the futon and rubbed his stomach disappreciatively.
"It's called planning ahead, you lazy thing." Li Jingu tasted the hot water slowly and methodically, not missing any opportunity to satirize Li Chenyang.
Li Chenyang is also a master who is not to be outdone, and then he scolded, the two of them were like two fighting cocks with fierce fighting spirit, and they were stunned and quarreled, and the annoying Wu Ting couldn't stand it anymore, so she roared angrily before she quieted down.
Wang He came to the kitchen of the construction site, I don't know what was piled up outside the kitchen door, and a thick layer of snow accumulated, blocking the door solidly, Wang He first kicked it, it felt very hard, like kicking a lump of ice.
Brushing away the snow with his hands, he couldn't see what it was, there was a layer of cloth covered in the black, and it was quite heavy to move a piece and try it, and he pulled it hard, and with a "click", a large piece of things was dragged out by Wang He.
Wang He picked up the things in his hand and took a closer look, and was so shocked that he threw it away, it turned out to be a zombie frozen into ice, and it broke off the entire upper body, the zombie was not dead, Wang He clearly saw that its teeth were still grinding.
The kitchen still has to be entered, but this large pile of frozen zombies Wang He doesn't dare to touch it directly with his hands anymore, just now he was lucky, if he accidentally touched his teeth and was bitten, God knows if his body can bear it, and whether it will mutate.
Pull out the seedlings. Knife, Wang He slashed a few times, as if he was chopping on a hard ice block, Rao is his strength, it also takes three or four knives to cut off a piece, these zombies are frozen into big ice bumps, and it is very difficult to clean up.
It's not a way to go on like this, it's a waste of time, Wang He walked around the kitchen, this kitchen is also a simple mobile room, the wall is a thin two-layer color steel sandwiched with foam, and a large hole with a horizontal knife is quickly cut out of a large hole one person high, which is much easier than cleaning up frozen zombies.
There is really a lot of food in the kitchen, in addition to a lot of flour and rice, there are three treasures of the northern winter, potatoes, frozen tofu, Chinese cabbage, these are all foods that can be stored for a long time, although the potatoes are sprouted, and they can be eaten when the sprouts are dug up.
Wang He hurriedly went to find a flatbed truck that pulled bricks, loaded all the food into the car, and brought gas canisters, stoves, pots and pans by the way.
Wang He happily carried things back, not noticing at all, several gray figures in the corner of the kitchen secretly crawled out, looking around for something, a piece of vegetable leaves dropped by Wang He attracted one of the gray shadows, it quickly stuffed it into its mouth and chewed.
A small vegetable leaf was obviously not enough to satisfy its appetite, and the place where it was usually full of food was empty, so the gray shadow had to crawl out of the hole cut by Wang He step by step with the food scraps that had fallen to the ground.
It wasn't until it bit a large piece of meat in the snow that it tasted like it had never tasted before, and feasted on it, but it didn't last long, and it suddenly fell into the snow like an electric shock, and convulsed.
After a while, the Grey Shadow got up again, ran back, and reappeared a moment later, followed by more of its kind, running back and forth, and before long, there were many people gathered outside the construction site, and the number of Gray Shadows became larger and larger.
Wang He brought back a cart of food, and the five of them immediately got busy, steamed a large pot full of rice, stewed tofu with potatoes and cabbage, and ate a beautiful meal.
The rest is not wasted, the next meal can be eaten as hot as the other, and after a full lunch, the five of them in addition to studying the route, they are chatting, or they can learn from each other to pass the boring time.
The blizzard outside finally meant to stop, but the time was almost evening, so I had no choice but to spend the night here, fortunately there was enough firewood brought back, otherwise it would be really difficult to resist the cold of the night.
The night guard is in front of Shi Chong and Li Chenyang, and Wang He and Li Jin are in the middle of the night, and Wu Ting, as the only woman, can have the privilege not to stand guard.
Wang He was indeed tired, he went to bed early, and was woken up by Li Jingou in a daze, it was his turn to stand on the last shift, so he quickly got up, picked up his equipment and came to the door alone.
The blizzard outside had stopped, Wang He untied his little hand along the wall, grabbed the snow and rubbed his face, sobered up, and prepared to go back.
Although there are two entrances and exits on the inner floor, there is only one gate on the outer floor, in order to keep the people standing guard at night from the cold, they used a few flat cars and quilts to build a triangular sentry at the gate, and the fire is built inside, and the people are not too cold inside.
It was not far from dawn, and it was said that it was darkest before dawn, but there was still something in the white snow that could be seen clearly.
Wang He roasted the fire, took out a few cigarettes, and was just about to light them, when he caught a glimpse of a gray shadow "whooshing" out of the corner of his eye.
