Chapter 27: The Heat Drops!

The sunset in the sky struggled to set.

In the wilderness, it gradually became dark, and the roars of aliens and beasts were endless.

The "Paradise Lost Survivors Sightseeing Tour" picked up the pace.

"There are exactly 8 of them, one for each of us."

Huang Yi divided the White Rabbit toffee equally, and reminded, "Hide it well, don't be searched by the guards." ”

"Brother Huang, do you think this means good?"

", can it be called sugar, does it taste bad?" Someone retorted with a smile, carefully stuffing the toffee into the belt hole, "Take it home and give it to my kid to taste." ”

"Brother Huang, why is Gao Jun so polite to us? I'm afraid the price of this box of candy is not cheap, and if you take it to Yuma Prefecture, you can even exchange it for a lot of good things. Huang Tao sped up and said with some concern, "Will there be any problems here?" ”

The rest of the people also looked at the "leading brother".

Mainly, there is nothing to be done, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

In a place like the wasteland, you are so selfish that you have forgotten human morality, and suddenly, when someone gives you something of great value, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, why?

Huang Yi glanced at him, do you think I can pinch it?

Know everything?

"Is there anything else in us that people care about?"

This rhetorical question, do you want to be so heartbroken?

"Others give it, and the reason why he is so polite is nothing more than that we can provide them with goods."

Huang Tao also nodded when he heard this, he is easy to think nonsense, and after saying it thoroughly, his spirit is much more relaxed, "The supply and marketing cooperatives are good at everything, and it would be better if they sold weapons." ”

"When the time comes, we'll be able to pick up more trash when we walk in the wilderness."

"Don't think about eating fart, now that people sell it, can you afford it?"

Huang Tao stiffened his neck, "Can't I even think about it?" ”

"Shhh

Suddenly, Huang Yi put his finger on his mouth, "Don't say it, it's going to close the door, run." ”

The guards of Paradise Lost in front of them were slowly pushing up the iron gates, and the late scavengers were trotting up their hands and signaling them to close the door slowly.

The guard didn't care as if he hadn't heard, but the gears underneath were old and stuck.

"Horse-stepping!" One of the guards scolded and kicked the iron door, but he bared his teeth and laughed in his ears, which made him even more annoyed, and turned his head, "What are you laughing at!" Who's laughing at me, get out of here. ”

Suddenly, the scavengers standing at the door were so quiet that they hurriedly shut their mouths.

"Humph!"

The guard walked to the side with a gloomy face.

"Entrance fee, 2 caps."

"Aren't they all 1 cap? Why is the price going up today? Huang Tao muttered.

But in addition to the nose, the lackeys also have ears.

"What? Do you have an opinion? After a while, the mayor of the town celebrated his birthday, and he added 1 more bottle cap every day in the future, and his old man established a stronghold to protect you, do you still have complaints? You should be thrown out and fed to the xenos! ”

The guards on the fence also poked their heads out.

Birthday?

You said before that if you are sick, you will also have to raise taxes.

Although they were very dissatisfied, everyone understood that the stronghold was a shelter in the wilderness, and if there were no surrounding walls, they would have died long ago, so they could only reluctantly drop two bottle caps.

But when it was Huang Yi's turn and his party, the guard suddenly found fault again, "Big one, I heard that you went to another shelter as a guest today?" ”

This is said in a weird way.

It must have been the same group of people who had separated from them before.

Huang Yi looked at him condescendingly, the oppression of his body made the guard very unhappy, and the flintlock pistol in his hand was pointed at him, "Let me ask you." ”

"The mayor didn't say he wouldn't let him go, did he?"

"Moreover, we just went to see if there was anything to pick up, and we didn't come back at the allotted time."

The guard's anger soared, and just as he was about to show his majesty, he heard a cough behind him, and then said in a tired voice, "What's going on?" ”

"Master Pu!" The guard next to him hurriedly said hello.

Pu nodded and wrinkled his eyebrows, "It's going to be night, why don't you close the door?" What are you doing huddled at the door? ”

"My lord, that's right." The others immediately explained the reason.

Pu raised his head and looked at Huang Yi, even if it wasn't the first time he had seen him, he was surprised by the other party's size, and a strange thought flashed in his mind, this guy can't have mutant genes, right?

"Ahem, ahem, let's go in." He said, waving his hand.

"Master Pu..." The guard who was looking for fault hurriedly spoke, but when he saw the other party's glance at him, he was so frightened that he shrank his eggs and shrank his head to the side.

Huang Tao and the others looked at Huang Yi, who thanked him in a muffled voice, and walked into the stronghold, of course, the cost of 2 bottle caps was still handed over.

Pu looked back at Huang Yi and the others, thoughtful.

And the group that entered the stronghold was also muttering to each other.

"That old man is usually very serious, how can he talk so easily this time?"

"Who knows what he's hiding in his heart, I panicked when I looked at this person."

"Okay, let's all go back and rest, meet at the gate on time tomorrow morning, and then we will go hunting together."

Being able to come back safely is the greatest happiness of the scavengers.

After the team disbanded, they all hurried home.

"Mom, Dad is back."

As soon as Huang Tao approached his shack, the half-eldest son who was pooping next to him shouted at him from inside, and a woman with dirt and a stained face came out from inside.

Seeing that he was empty-handed, his eyes were a little dim, but he still squeezed a smile, "It's okay, there is still a croissant potato at home, just make it and eat it." ”

"I'll go get you some water and wash it."

Looking at his empathetic wife, Huang Tao felt a little uncomfortable, grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, I'll follow Brother Huang... It's Huang Yi and they go out hunting together, a roe deer and a mouse they take home and share the meat, and they will send it over later, and we will eat meat at night! ”

"Eat meat?!" The wife glared.

"Yay! Eat meat, eat meat! The son also raised his hand next to him, pulled the weeds on the ground casually, wiped his buttocks, and jumped into Huang Tao's arms.

"I've also brought good things, let's go, go in and talk."

He dragged his wife and children into the shack, closed the loophole fur door with his backhand, carefully took out the milk candy from his arms, and said excitedly, "This is a good thing, it tastes good, you can taste it." ”

As he spoke, he vigorously broke open two portions.

"What is this?"

"Milk candy, there's sugar in it, it's very sweet."

Sugar!

The woman, of course, knew the meaning of the word, and she thought that her husband had done something, and asked nervously, "Where did this come from?" ”

"Don't worry, someone else sent it." Huang Tao told all the things about the Tinder Shelter, and the two wives who listened were stunned, and there was still a place to eat green millet rice for every meal?

"Moreover, there is still a place to study, and the children don't need money, so I will find a way to send Bin'er in to study, and when the time comes, I will apply to join that shelter, and our good days will come." Huang Tao's plan is good.

"That place should be hard to get into." The wife was also very excited when she heard this, but she still asked sensibly.

"It's okay, Brother Huang will find a way, but if it doesn't work, we'll go hunt for xenos to get Baijing, the managers over there will collect this for a long time, there must be a great demand, as long as we perform well, we will definitely pass."

Hunt the xenos!

His wife's face changed.

What is xenogeneity? It's not just a stupid roe deer or a wildebeest, in principle, they are beasts, the two-headed hyena who snatched the carcass of the wildebeest with them before, but apparently the other party is too old and has been driven out of the hyena herd, and their young people have a chance to drive away.

If you replace it with a young and strong two-headed hyena, maybe a few people will die.

"Don't worry." Huang Tao patted her arm, "With me, you can taste it quickly, if it's delicious, I'll change it tomorrow." ”

"You taste it too." The wife forcefully separated the half in her hand again, and Huang Tao did not refuse, took it and put it in his mouth.

Sweetness, a taste that has never been extravagant.

They couldn't help but smile on their faces.

This scene took place in several shacks in the stronghold.

The name Tinder Shelter, which also really appears on the wasteland.

"The leaves are hot, the air is rising, the seeds are wilting, the crocodiles that were lying on the beach have shrunk into the water, and an unprecedented crisis is approaching."

The old sheep's head introduced Gao Jun with a solemn face.

"In my experience, the explosion is coming!"

"How is that possible? The night has just passed, so it shouldn't be so fast. Yu Gu's expression was ugly when he heard these two words, and he couldn't help but retort, but the empty eyes were obviously comforting himself.

"I'm not mistaken, I've lived in the wasteland for so long." The old sheephead sighed, "All I can say is that the environment has been getting worse and worse lately. ”

Gao Jun's expression was also very serious.

Burst heat is a kind of "general word", that is, for a period of time every year, the sun will be unusually irritable, and the temperature will rise rapidly, and at the most exaggerated time, it can even reach 60 degrees Celsius.

Even if the people in the wasteland are abnormal, it will be very uncomfortable, but this is not the most dangerous, but in the hot weather, xenos will also be particularly crazy, and they want to find a shady place to hide, and some problems will inevitably occur on the migration road, which is also one of the reasons for the "xenomorph tide".

If you work at this temperature for a long time, you will suffer from heat stroke, if you have a serious problem, you will even die, and if there is a wound, it will breed germs and cause further harm to life.

"Roughly calculated, how long will it take?"

"About 10 sunsets."

10 days!

Gao Jun took a deep breath and felt the urgency, the Ruibao green stem vegetable seed had just been planted, and if it was not watered, it would definitely die, but the Tianzi crocodile of the No. 11 water flow would definitely become more and more violent due to the weather, and it would become particularly difficult to get water.

"This is the test of fate for us, every natural disaster is a stumbling block to the rebuilding of civilization, and our unity."

"Let's go! Go back, call Bell and Allen, and we'll have a meeting. ”
