Chapter 290: Speed of Life and Death
Mike opened the can and tasted it, and suddenly he had an indescribable feeling, and he couldn't eat it after taking a bite.
As a modern person, he cooks three meals a day by his daughter-in-law, and he is used to eating Chinese food, so he can't eat them.
Even if he was asked to eat a hamburger, he would feel that it was countless times better than this.
But the reality is, let alone burgers, Rick hasn't even heard this term in a long time.
In the end, Mike only drank some water, and nothing else. He put things down, and now he was very puzzled by the scene in front of him, and he desperately wanted to know what was going on in the future world to make it like this.
What about the government, what about the army? Could it be that the social order that preceded mankind has completely ceased to exist? Entering a primitive society again?
He wanted to know all this.
Like him, Rick is curious about him. Is it possible for such a guy to be well-dressed and have no interest in food at all?
Rick's first thought was that this guy should have come out of the vault, and he was also a high-level scientific researcher who was protected, otherwise he wouldn't have survived now without the other party's level.
The thought of this makes Rick excited. He'd heard the word "refuge" countless times, but every time he was disappointed. There is no such thing at all.
But when he saw the guy in front of him, he was still angry with a glimmer of hope in his heart.
After everyone was finished, Rick came to Mark, and the two looked at each other, neither of whom spoke.
The rest of the team had long been aware of Mike's anomaly, and they had become suspicious of this person's identity, and now they were all silently watching.
Rick watched quietly, and then said casually, "Brother, the way you look is worrying, doesn't anyone tell you about the preciousness of food?" ”
Mike was silent in his heart, he didn't know what the other party meant, as a scientific researcher, his mind would definitely not be able to compare with these guys who had survived for so long.
Mike scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I've finished eating, so I'm not too hungry right now." ”
"Oh!" Rick held back the excitement in his heart, and then casually asked, "I'm curious, what did you eat at the last meal, and you haven't been hungry until now." ”
"It's nothing, it's just some Chinese food, and it tastes really good."
Rick and his partner next to him glanced at each other, and everyone was very excited. Huaxia meal, that proves that there must be a large shelter, or these things will not appear, after all, the current supplies are extremely scarce, and there are no vegetables or anything like that. Since the other party can make these things, it must have its own planting base.
Thinking of this, Rick couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath of anger, and finally forced himself to drag the other party and force him to ask.
"Oh, that's a treat, I used to eat it many years ago, and it tastes really good."
Mike nodded, deciding to ask the question in his mind, "Can you tell me why the world is the way it is?" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Rick and the others were stunned, what do you mean?
Is there anyone who doesn't know the state of the world? Could it be that the other party has been living in isolation? No kidding, this is a beautiful country, and the management is now dilapidated, but this is not a wild place, how can such a person exist.
"Don't you know anything?" One of the team members next to him couldn't help but ask, because it sounded incredible.
Mike nodded honestly, though he knew he was a little out of place.
Later, in Rick's narration, Mike learned the truth of the matter, it turned out that a year ago, there was a sudden outbreak of a disease in the world, and in one day, 90% of the people became unconscious, only knowing how to bite, and less than 10% of the human beings in the world were barely stocked.
But that was at the very beginning, after a year, and now it is estimated that it is not even 1%, and the surviving human beings live on their own, and there is almost no human order in the whole society, and now everyone has a big fist, and whoever is the king.
After hearing this, Mike couldn't calm down for a long time, that is, in his world, there was a disease that would destroy the whole world in the near future, and he desperately wanted to go back when he thought of it.
But by the time he arrived, the spatial portal had vanished, and now he seemed to be trapped in this world. A place he was completely unfamiliar with.
Rick looked at the other man seriously, and asked, "Okay, I've told you about it, now it's up to you to answer my question." ”
Mike nodded, he didn't have anything to hide now.
"Where is your refuge?"
Mike shook his head, he had no refuge, he was here for the first day.
Everyone saw Mike's reaction, and they didn't want to say it.
The archer man came over, showed his bow and arrows, and gestured casually, with a fierce expression.
Rick's face was also a little ugly, "If you don't want to cooperate, we won't be difficult for you, after a rest, you leave, let's go our separate ways." ”
Mike was a little depressed, not that he didn't say it, but that he really didn't know.
"You may not believe what I say next, but I'm sure it's the truth." Mike decided to tell the reason, after all, if he was in this world at this time, he probably wouldn't be able to last a day.
In the short term, there is no way for him to go back, and the top priority is to survive first.
Everyone was instantly interested in what Mark said, and even the crossbow brother with a serious face aroused curiosity.
"It's true that I'm not from this world."
At the beginning, it was simply Wang Bang, and one sentence directly made everyone can't be rectified.
"Fake, are you kidding me?"
"Why don't you say you're an alien?"
"Don't ask, I feel like this guy is a psychopath."
Everyone talked a lot, and finally Rick waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.
Although he also felt that the other party was talking nonsense, he was the most leader at this time, and he still took responsibility.
Mike's own words felt a bit outrageous, but that's exactly what happened.
With a helpless expression, he looked at everyone and said, "Actually, I am from a past era, because I inadvertently created the gate of a parallel world, crossed over, and ended up here. ”
"Hey, bro, why didn't you say you were from an alien planet? You also have to think a little bit about making up stories, everyone else is coming back from outside, how can you come to this point of returning from the present to the future? ”
"Yes, it's really like you said, then why doesn't our world government use that parallel world gate, do you think they are all idiots?"
Honestly, there's really no way to make sense of this question.
Rick looked at each other with an elusive look on his face. "You handed over my name at once, do you think it's interesting to say that now? Hurry up and tell me the truth, or I wouldn't mind kicking you out now. ”
"I really didn't lie, otherwise I wouldn't know anything about the world, as for why I know you, I don't know, I just subconsciously shouted out, as if I had seen you before, but I was really sure that I hadn't seen you. So I don't know what's going on either. ”
Everyone felt a little fooled and crusaded one after another, letting this guy out.
Mike looked pitiful, he didn't know how to explain it, but if he left like that, he was sure he wouldn't be able to return to his own world.
Rick thought about it for a long time, looking at the other party's clothes and state, although he didn't want to admit it, but the other party's appearance really didn't want to live in this hellish world at all.
"Brother, I don't know whether to say anything or not, but your point of view is unacceptable. I can allow you to stay with the team, though, but if I find out that you're threatening, I'll kill you myself. ”
Rick has been able to stock up in this cruel society for so long, and he is definitely not a soft-hearted person.
But he subconsciously still wanted to try, in case what the other party said was true, after all, people can lie, but their demeanor will not deceive people.
In this way, Mike managed to survive in this world.
After coming over for a while, feeling that there was no movement outside, the crossbow man gently opened the door and found that there were almost no zombies in the alley, only one or two scattered.
"oK, now is a good opportunity, everyone bring their things well."
A woman pulls several large belts out of her backpack and hands them to the others.
Everyone packed everything they could, leaving nothing in the warehouse, and everyone was greatly prepared with quilts, even Mike.
If you want to survive, you need to be valuable, and if you can't contribute to the team, you won't stay.
Rick and the crossbow man open the way in front, and as the core of the team, they must ensure that they are strong and able to respond to emergencies at any time.
The crossbow man's name is Daryl, and he used to be a courier, but after the outbreak of the virus, he has been a very good presence with a bow and crossbow in one hand.
I saw him take out two bows and arrows from behind his back, swishing twice, and two zombies not far away fell to the ground in response, almost effortlessly.
Everyone followed the front and left quickly, Mike was already weak, and he was grieving a big backpack, and now he could only run forward desperately.
He knew that if he fell behind at this time, he might really be finished, and no one would pity him again.
Just a moment later, the line reached the entrance of the road, and Darryl suddenly waved his hand to stop everyone.
"Our car is not far away, about 200 miles away, but there are at least dozens of zombies at the intersection next to it, if we kill them, it will not only delay our time but also cause the surrounding zombies to besiege, but if you want to change the route, the situation may be more dangerous."
Daryl tells Rick about the situation, and the latter thinks about it and decides that the only way now is to sprint, and as long as they reach the car, everyone will be safe.
"Listen, everyone has to cheer up in a while, no matter what happens, rush forward, I'll cover you, do you hear?"
