Chapter 20: Kyung-Yuan and the Choice
The night was spent in a raging storm, and when Kyungwon opened his eyes at six o'clock in the morning the next day, the outside world was still howling with a strong wind.
A finger's high pile of dirty water in the living room, filling the house with a foul smell.
When it came to eight o'clock in the morning, Kyungwon felt that he had to make a decision immediately, whether to brave the pouring rain and go to the Shunxiang supermarket to find supplies, or stay in his room and resign himself to fate.
It was a dilemma, he was alone, and in such a heavy rainstorm, a lame puppy with arthritis could not help him at all.
If he chooses to go out, he will have to face the bad road conditions alone.
To reach Shunxiang Supermarket from Ten Mile Sunshine, he must pass through the bombed ruins, and once he slips into a pothole, he will probably never get up again.
And the already unstable ruins, who can guarantee that the rain will wash over them and not form a landslide-like catastrophe and bury them under concrete slabs and steel bars?
Everything outside was unknown, his eyesight was already bad, and then he was disturbed by the acidic rain to smell and hear, and he almost became a blind man, even if it was eight o'clock, it was dark outside like a late night, except for the occasional flashing thunder, and there was not a little sunlight to see.
Imagine yourself blindfolded, alone through the mountains in the middle of a rainstorm, past cliff suspension bridges that have fallen into disrepair, and over hills where mudslides can occur at any time, which is probably the risk that Kyungwon faces when he goes out.
If it weren't for all kinds of helplessness, Kyungwon would never want to go out in such weather.
But if you stay in the house and pray to heaven reverently, the rain will stop before you run out of food?
This is the same as gambling, and it is a very low probability gamble.
Kyungwon couldn't see any signs of the rain stopping, not that he was pessimistic, and from what he had observed, it hadn't rained so much in the vicinity for a long time.
If it had rained like this in the past few years, the first day he would wake up in the living room of 707 and smell the pungent smell of the chemical mixture, the rain would soak into the room as it is now, and even if it dried, it would leach rust-red rain stains on the whitewashed walls, but he didn't see such rain stains at the time.
This shows one thing - this rain is likely to be the heaviest in recent years.
Although it was just speculation, Kyungwon felt that a typhoon was coming, and he didn't know how many days it would take for this typhoon to leave, but he probably didn't expect it in a day or two.
If he wants to get food and water, the fastest place to go is Shunxiang supermarket, or find a way to break down the security doors of residential buildings in the community, and try his luck in those residential houses to see if he can find something useful.
But it's still the same problem, there are no tools, this is the city center, and the high-level security doors are used, and it is impossible to split the door lock with the kitchen knife in his hand.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he really has a fire axe, it will take a long time to chop a door, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and in the end, there is a high probability that nothing will be gained, wasting time and physical strength in vain.
In addition, he finally realized something very important, and while he was sitting here, the situation outside was getting worse by every minute.
Looking down from the balcony with a flash of thunder, the muddy rain has already submerged the cobblestone path, the raindrops hit the water, setting off countless small waves, and half of the four feet of the benches used to rest in the community were submerged, and the water surface had risen to the position of his calf when converted to Jing Yuan's height.
In just one day, the community's drainage system could no longer treat the sewage.
After that, the water level would continue to rise, and for every second he spent in the room, the mud and sand would be soaked for an additional second, becoming softer and smoother, and in two more days, he might have to swim through.
Can't help but have a very worried thought in Jing Yuan's heart.
Shunxiang Supermarket is located on the first floor of an abandoned shopping street, what if the rain washes the supermarket away?
Even if you're lucky, the rain stops within a day or two, and you might go to the supermarket again and see a lake.
He suddenly regretted a little, in fact, the best time to go out was when the rain first started, only an hour before it rained, the rain would not accumulate, and he had just discovered that the zombies regarded him as the same kind, as long as he operated it properly, he could avoid fighting with the zombie cluster.
The best solution is to go to Shunxiang Supermarket in the first hour to remove the materials that can be used in the rain.
But now that he said this, it was just an afterthought, and when he ran back to the house, he didn't expect the rain to be so heavy.
There is no point in blaming yourself, the moment you miss is you missed.
Kyung-won patted his face and straightened his mind.
When playing lol, he has never encountered any high blood pressure, but he never sprays his teammates, and in order to obtain the exclusive return to the city special effect and season skin rewards for the fifth-level honor, he has long practiced a high anti-pressure mentality.
The disadvantage is to be won back by his own efforts, and the fifth-level honor player will not hang up, and he has never been the kind of low-quality player who plays a little unpleasantly and spends his teammates with bad feelings.
He's made his choice, he's going out!
Finally adding a stick of wood to the brazier, and after drinking half a bottle of water, he left the warm quilt.
"Wang!"
When Xiaobai saw him get up, he also stood up, looking at him as if he wanted to leave with him.
"I'll be back in a minute, don't worry."
Kyungwon wrapped it in a quilt, touched its forehead, poured it a bowl of dog food and water, and placed it on the couch.
This very human puppy whined pitifully.
Kyowon smiled at it, then grabbed his spear, rifle, pistol, and empty travel bag, and brought a flashlight to the door.
Xiaobai got out of the quilt again, and wanted to follow him, but he was about to jump into the water, but Jingyuan had no choice but to turn around and carry Xiaobai to a little more inside the sofa.
"Listen, don't come along!"
This time Kyungwon said it in a commanding tone.
This works because dogs are obedient animals, their ancestors are wolves, and among the wolves, the wolf king is the absolute ruler, and no wolf can disobey the wolf king's orders.
And when wolves were domesticated into dogs, humans became their rulers.
There is no doubt that Kyungwon has absolute command in his relationship with Xiaobai, as he is the one in charge of distributing food and water, as well as the one in charge of fighting and hunting.
So when he gave the order, Xiaobai stopped moving and obediently stayed where he was.
It's just that when Kyungwon opened the door, he heard its helpless whining again, but Kyungwon ignored it.
If there was no hope at all, he would bring Xiaobai with him, but before that time, he firmly believed that he would come back and come back with enough supplies to support this rainstorm.
He will survive this terrible downpour and survive in this lonely and desolate post-apocalyptic city
...
"It's so windy..."
Kyungwon stood at the door of the first floor of Building 3, the icy wind blowing in his face, he turned up the large collar of his trench coat, and the sweatshirt he dropped yesterday was still hanging on the fire hydrant on the wall.
He took off his sweatshirt and wrapped it around his head, and at the same time pressed the flashlight switch, carrying the cone-shaped white beam of light to meet the roar of the wind in the rain.
