Chapter 18 "F4" Summit
Xijing Road, Qiancheng City
A week ago, at the beginning of the night, Xijing Road was still full of people, but now there is only an ocean left.
Ye Kuang and Fan Ma had already completed the construction of the improvised boat, which used up all the wooden doors and bed boards that could be removed from the entire building.
Now the ship is being tethered to a security net in one of the windows by Fan Ma with a climbing rope.
The hull of the ship as a whole was elongated, and only four people actually made seven or eight simple oars using Fan horses.
There is a big gap in the middle of the boat, which is five meters long and more than three meters wide, and Ye Kuang still hasn't understood what it is for. The whole boat is not beautiful, but it is okay, at least a few can float on the water, even if it is two adult men of Ye Kuangfan and Ma, a total of more than 300 catties, it will not be too shaky to jump at the same time.
That's enough on the water, and now a few people are feasting in the living room.
Ye Kuang and Zhang Juyan were eating Chen Jie's grilled chicken legs, while Fan Ma and his wife were more keen on Ye Kuang's canned food.
Chen Jie:
"Me, I haven't eaten fruit in days! Are there still canned yellow peaches? ”
Looking at her embarrassed eating, Fan Ma unscrewed another one and handed it to her, these are the food in Ye Kuang's backpack that Ye Kuang "lost his foot" and lost from the water just now.
"Well, her roasted meat is okay. I hope you don't be surprised, Chen Jie likes to be a vegetarian in her life, although the barbecue technique is very good, but I usually eat it. ”
Fan Ma held a fish and said while eating, as if he was a little sorry for Chen Jie for eating all of Ye Kuang's canned food.
At this time, everyone knows that canned food will only eat one less and will be more scarce in the future.
However, Ye Kuang didn't mind at all, lying on the multi-person sofa on the side, thinking about the next move, such as how to find a safe and reliable place with plenty of food in the case of a back injury, so as to survive well.
……
After some time, the fire in the living room had been extinguished, and only a pot hung from a pile of coals with some tea boiling on it.
Ye Kuang was the only one left in the living room, and he fell asleep on the sofa alone. Zhang Juyan didn't know where to go, and after waking up, she walked to the window with a watermelon knife that had not been washed and stretched out, and the pouring rain had stopped.
Looking at my watch, the time is now 11:02 on July 1.
suddenly
A heavy sound of footsteps came from behind Ye Kuang, and the vigilant he turned around in an instant and put the knife horizontally in front of him, it turned out that it was Fan Ma.
Ye Kuang and Fan Ma, who had a long beard, sat down together and poured each a cup of tea.
"Whew-"
"Where do you plan to go next? Shouldn't you go back to the base of that southwest square? ”
"If so, then we're probably going to have to go our separate ways."
"Why? Disgusted that my boat is not doing well? ”
Fan Ma burst out when he heard this, and what Ye Kuang said made him very unhappy.
Glancing at the irritable Fan Ma, Ye Kuang just took a sip of piping hot tea gently, and the other party's reaction still made him feel a little strange.
"It's really a brain circuit, how can I dislike your ship? The main thing is that I don't like to go to crowded places. Like an official shelter, I won't go until I have to, since you're coming out of there. ”
"Then you and Sister Jie also know that they are far from living independently in that square."
"Yes!"
Chen Jie and Zhang Juyan, who arrived before anyone arrived, walked in from outside arm-in-arm, and in just a few hours, the two of them acted like good sisters.
The four of them sat together, and Chen Jie played with Zhang Juyan's hair and said:
"The food and accommodation conditions are very average, and I can't stand the hygiene, although they have worked hard for the sake of people."
"However, how can you live freely outside, although it is also a little dangerous outside. But with Fan Ma, I'm not afraid of anything. ”
Hearing Chen Jie's praise, Fan Male reached out and pulled Chen Jie to his thigh, patting Ye Kuang's shoulder and taking a sip.
"It's not a big problem on my back, relax, I still have a lot of medicines in my bag."
The sensible Ye Kuang stood up and sat down beside Zhang Juyan.
Fan Ma looked serious, put down the cup in his hand and glanced at Zhang Juyan and Ye Kuang.
Solemnly knocked on the table and said loudly:
"There are rumors among the sentinels that if someone is willing to go out and live on their own, they will not forcibly keep it, because almost all the supplies in the vicinity have been looted by the garrison in the square at that time."
"The smaller the population, the less pressure there is on the base, and if everyone can afford to go out and live on their own, why be cheeky and let others support them."
"We will issue weapons, like Ye Kuang, you are also fearless when you have a wound on your back, dare to use this kind of watermelon knife to take your sister to survive in the dark, not to mention those who are wandering around the square and doing nothing."
"Uh......"
Fan Ma's words made Ye Kuang feel very ashamed, if he hadn't been strange all these days, he wouldn't have been hurt. Just like now, Fan Ma is talking in a Taoist way, Zhang Juyan on the side is sitting upright like a primary school student listening carefully, but he is still thinking about what kind of gene lock is going on!
Obviously, he is not weak, and a lot of unknowns have been broken in a day's battle, so why do you have to think about any abilities and genetic locks?
This is a manifestation of incompetence! Unconsciously clenching the cup in his hand, Fan Ma continued.
"Through the grapevine, the supreme commander of the square, the mayor of our godly city, set up an emergency shelter there. It is the first place to be placed in families who are lonely, widowed, young, disabled, and have no reliable labor force. But at present, hundreds of workers in many factories are rowing wooden boats. When they arrived in the square, there was no work to be assigned to them, and they came and came, and they couldn't drive people away, so it was already overcrowded. ”
"And I suspect that the previous battle may have been a flood of people flocking to the plaza to attract the goblins' attention. It attracted a siege, and anyway, many things will be said for a while......"
"As long as you know that the area of the square and the garrison force are only so little, the supplies are only that, and the food and clothing of the big supermarkets within a radius of five kilometers have been emptied by us at one time. With the current flood and darkness, I guess the square will have to be moved in less than two months. ”
Zhang Juyan was obviously a little confused, and stroked her hair in her heart.
"Why?"
"There is water all around, and the whole pious city can accommodate the most people there."
"Where else can they move?"
Fan Ma's words completely destroyed Zhang Juyan's desire to go to the official shelter. Although Ye Kuang has repeatedly said that self-help is the best way, she still doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.
Hearing Zhang Juyan's question, Fan Ma and Chen Jie were about to speak, but Ye Kuang stretched out his hand to stop them.
I saw that Ye Kuang just silently handed Zhang Juyan a cup of tea, watched her drink it and said:
"It's also a good place to build a shelter on the roof, and the extra people will definitely move to the roof of a nearby building."
"What are you worried about, I have a better place to go now, I don't know what you guys think."
Saying that, Ye Kuang glanced at Fan Ma and Chen Jie, and as soon as the two of them stopped, they were there, and Ye Kuang and Zhang Juyan were a little speechless.
"We can do it, let you command, the injury on your back won't heal for a while, let's walk together will be safer." When the time comes, let's take care of the wound on your back, Zhang Juyan bandaged you too loosely. ”
Listening to the other party take a bite of us, Ye Kuang chuckled, his eyes full of excitement.
"Good!"
"If you reach a consensus, then pack up and get ready to go."
While speaking, he stretched out the teacup in his hand, and Fan Ma, Chen Jie, and Zhang Juyan also stretched out.
Bite!
Hot tea splashes, tea instead of wine, and the four of them can be regarded as "forming a team and forming an alliance".
After a brief tidying up, while the heavy rain had stopped, the four men stood at the four corners of the boat and rowed towards the stadium.
The four men who were rowing did not know that a big battle was coming.
