Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 70:



The equipment of Qin Huai and his group naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially the few who can still wear protective clothing. Have you seen that these soldiers can wear protective clothing without protective clothing? The things he owns are second to none. They are nothing more than some household items. The key point is the car. With these big wheels, it is no problem to climb mountains and ridges. It saves a lot of effort.

Look at other people, those who have the conditions have made a few suitcases, no matter how long they can be dragged, at least there is something to put them in, those who have a backpack carry a bag, and those who don’t have a backpack directly wrap their things in a cloth such as a sheet, Just carrying it on the body like this, the scattered team looks like fleeing.

Some in the crowd were bald, some were not shaved, their hair was so sticky that even fleas could be seen, most of them didn’t even wear tops, it was too hot to wear, and some even wore clothes Some rags, so dirty that the original color cannot be seen. As for the smell, let alone, the sour smell of sweat emanating from people is no better than the ruins full of filthy life.

I\'m afraid I took a bath during the heavy rain some time ago. If I haven\'t taken a bath after the earthquake until now, the scene is probably even more spectacular.

Seeing how hard Jian Chu and the others endured, Mu Nan remembered that he had also bought a lot of incense slices. The incense slices were ground from some Chinese herbal medicines, with a fragrant medicinal smell, which could refresh the mind. I didn\'t expect it to be because he and Qin Huai used it. The mask comes with mint ice flakes inside, so there is no need to add anything extra. Seeing that Jian Chu was smoked before he set off, he was about to roll his eyes, so he remembered it, so he pretended to find three The size of a fingernail, but enough for a mask.

"Put it in a mask to dispel the smell a little bit."

Jian Chu was really about to be vomited, and didn\'t have the strength to be polite to Mu Nan, so he quickly stuffed a piece into his mask, although it couldn\'t completely block the smell, at least it could let people breathe.

Xu Ming had never seen this thing before, so she was a little curious: "What is this?"

Mu Nan: "A kind of incense tablet that can be used as incense. It\'s all traditional Chinese medicine. It can block the smell and refresh yourself."

While stuffing the mask, Xu Ming sighed: "There are a lot of weird things in your house, but they are very practical. Fortunately, you have this hat. Anyway, it is a little bit of wind. Although it is hot, it is better than that. Not much stronger."

Mu Nan\'s eyes curved into a smile: "I used to like to browse shopping websites when I had nothing to do."

Jian Chu took the fan and fanned desperately: "Can\'t you go, I\'m so bored here that I\'m about to suffocate."

Yu Zibai also fanned him, and said a few soothing words to make him bear it.

Qin Huai tugged at Mu Nan\'s hat: "Is it very hot? Have some water?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "It\'s okay, that spray is still a little bit useful." Even though spraying it on clothes can cool down, although it doesn\'t last long, but when blown by a fan, it\'s not too hot to be unbearable.

Because I have notified the departure time several times before, although there are many people, it takes a long time to arrange the team, but after almost all the assignments, I will go directly on the road, and other problems will be solved slowly on the road. Walking a little bit is a little bit. You must know that there are not only ruins outside, but also many places that have been cracked by the earthquake. A person accidentally stepped on the air and fell down. So once it gets dark, the speed will definitely slow down. In order to be able to Go to the university town early, you can only try to speed up.

Qin Huai and his team’s car was easier to haul than expected, mainly because Qin Huai and his team didn’t put things that weighed heavily. Although their stuff seemed to be more than that of Yu Zibai and Xu Ming, they were relatively light, and the back of the car was still heavy. A tie rod was added, mainly to make it easier for Mu Nan to follow behind to support the balance of the small trailer as much as possible, so as not to tilt and overturn due to road problems.

Qin Huai and Yu Zibai pulled side by side in front, Xu Ming helped Yu Zibai grasp the balance, Jianchu saw that Mu Nan and the others had a lot of things, so he helped them, and said with strength while walking: "I just saw a dog in the team. "

Mu Nan looked back suspiciously: "Is it a military dog?"

Jian Chu shook his head: "Do you still remember that when we set up a stall before, a pair of brothers who looked like two brothers came to buy dog ​​food, and they also bought many bags back and forth. I think they brought a dog, but they didn\'t I know what breed it is, all white and short-haired, a bit like a Labrador, but not quite like it, it looks pretty good, I see a lot of people looking at that dog with green eyes."

Mu Nan couldn\'t help but said: "It\'s really not easy to raise a dog at this time."

Jian Chu sighed: "I\'m afraid that along the way, people will regard it as a meal on the plate, it\'s too ostentatious."

Mu Nan: "That can\'t be helped. You can\'t just throw the dog away. If the relationship is really up to that point, what else can you do besides keeping it with you?"

Jian Chu: "Shouldn\'t we take the dog to hide at home at this time? If we go outside, we don\'t know what will happen when we meet those hungry and red-eyed people."

Mu Nan: "It\'s not necessarily safe to be at home. What\'s more, I don\'t know if my family\'s home is still there. If it\'s gone, and I live in a tent, there\'s no difference between staying there and going out to make a living."

The two were talking, when Qin Huai, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said, "Stop talking, you two, save some energy." They were chattering, almost treating escape as an outing.

Mu Nan hurriedly said, and then smiled at Jian Chu, and closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The soldiers walking in front keep in touch with those behind at all times. They have walkie-talkies in their hands. They should try their best to keep the speed of the whole team and not let the back too far behind.

After finally turning over from the ruins of the residents and walking to the main road, the journey was finally a little easier. They try to take the avenue as much as possible for their journey. Most of the shops on both sides of the avenue are a little bit away from the residential buildings, so the road is easier to walk, but be careful of the cracks caused by the earthquake.

Walking on the avenue, Qin Huai and the others could pull their trailer more easily. There are soldiers leading the way ahead, as long as you follow the road carefully, you don\'t have to worry too much about not paying attention to your feet falling into the gap. Qin Huai pays attention to Mu all the way. Nan, after all, they are wearing protective clothing. Compared with others who are directly naked, the protective clothing is not breathable, and it is easy to get dehydrated due to heat stroke.

Seeing Qin Huai looking at him, Mu Nan ran up quickly: "What\'s the matter? Do you want some water? I\'ll get it for you." They were walking continuously and couldn\'t stop to get something. If Qin Huai wanted to drink water, he had to be behind Take it as you go.

Qin Huai shook his head: "Now we\'re on the main road. This side is not so close to the residential area, and there are not many ruins. If you are too hot, take off your protective clothing and drink plenty of water."

Mu Nan said: "I know, let me get you some water to drink, you sweat a lot more than me." He was just behind to check the balance of the car, Qin Huai was going to pull the trailer in front, exerting more force than him A lot, and the physical energy is naturally consumed more than him.

While walking, Mu Nan reached for the water bottle in the trailer. Naturally, the water bottle was taken out of the space, but it still had to be put into the bag for show. The kettle comes with a straw, which is convenient for drinking. Mu Nan opened the lid, and the straw popped out automatically, and then fed it to Qin Huai\'s mouth: "You drink it, and I\'ll pull the cart."

Qin Huai reached out to take it, and exchanged with Mu Nan for a while. Now walking on the main road, although there are still a lot of construction debris piled up, it is much easier to walk than those piled up ruins, so it is okay to ask him to change hands and drag. fine.

The water in the kettle is ice water, and Mu Nan also diluted some glucose, just because he is afraid of heat and dehydration, it tastes a little sweet, but not too sweet, refreshing and refreshing. After drinking half a jug of water in one breath, Qin Huai handed the jug to Mu Nan, and then pulled the trailer. Mu Nan took the jug and drank slowly. Qin Huai had developed a habit during this time, and he didn\'t dare to drink ice water. But it is true that drinking slowly is more thirst-quenching.

Jian Chu on the side naturally followed suit, but they didn\'t have ice water anymore, the electricity was out for the whole day, and the ice water had already melted away, at most it wasn\'t as hot as normal temperature water, with a trace of residual coolness. gas. Watching them feed me and I feed you, the lonely Xu Ming silently opened his backpack to drink water. No one fed him, but he knew how to drink it himself!

It was almost dark, and the team behind couldn\'t keep up. It took at least four or five hours to walk from departure to dark, so Shi Yuanfei asked people to stop and rest on the spot.

Although they tried their best to walk on the main road along the way, they still passed many ruins and encountered some collapsed bridges, so they had to take a detour. Not all the residents after the earthquake could be summoned by the army immediately. Mu Nan and his community were able to build camps so quickly because the military headquarters was there. Before, the distribution of supplies was divided into communities. A team assigned to the past may be responsible for the distribution of materials in hundreds of communities, but in the past because of cars, the entire range was relatively large. After the earthquake, those communities far from the place where the army was located, or Save yourself, or resign yourself to death.

So they came all the way and even saw a lot of corpses lying on the ruins and no one cleaned them up. They looked like they had died of illness. There were also some naked people squatting on the ruins and searching, and they didn\'t know what they found. , stuffing it into his mouth dirty, seeing such a large team of them passing by, he just glanced at it numbly, and then continued to look down.

On the road, I also met people asking for help, but before anyone approached, the military doctor said that these people were already sick. Their team did not wear protective clothing, and few even wore masks. Naturally, it is impossible to let the sick people People approached, once infected, all of them could not escape, so they could only fire warning shots and drive those who were sick and asked for help out of a safe distance.

Looking at the desperate eyes of those people, many people couldn\'t help avoiding it. Plague is not a terminal illness. With the development of medical treatment, perhaps a few antibiotics can save a life. But now, the plague is almost a fatal disease. They have no medicine, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine. They have no other way except to expel them so cruelly.

The people walking in the team knew that this was an unavoidable choice. Before leaving, these soldiers told them that if someone on the road got sick and infected with the plague, then abandoning them immediately was the only choice. Since they decided to take the risk with them, Then you have to be prepared to die on the road, so even if you feel unbearable at the moment, no one will stand up to accuse anyone or sympathize with anyone. After all, they don\'t know if they will be the next one.

Because of the expulsion just now, the people who finally stopped to rest were not very happy. Even because they walked out of the camp, out of the safe protection that these soldiers surrounded them, and saw the real cruelty outside, everyone who was hit by reality More and more silent.

Mu Nan carefully leaned against Qin Huai. They are sitting in a place that looks like a square. The damage here is not too serious. Except for some ground cracks on the road, the open space is still open, and there are some shops around. The residential area is still a little far away, so Qin Huai untied Mu Nan\'s protective clothing for him, wiped his sweat with a wet towel, and used a small fan to blow on the inside of his collar, fortunately he was wearing sleeveless The vest has a large neckline, so the wind can easily pour in.

And Qin Huai untied the elastic cord under the trousers by himself, and the sweat splashed directly from the trousers, as if someone had poured water into his clothes. Mu Nan felt distressed when he saw it, and quickly gave him a water bottle to make him drink more water: "otherwise…"

Before Mu Nan could say anything, Qin Huai interrupted: "No, Nan Nan, I\'d rather you be hotter and suffer more, and don\'t be negligent. It\'s not that where there are few people, there will be no plague. As long as there are mosquitoes , just in case a virus-infected one bites you, it will be fatal, so you can\'t take off your protective clothing outside."

Xu Ming who was on the side said: "Your brother is right. Even if it is hot, it is nothing compared to life. We do not have this condition. If we have this condition, we will not take it off no matter how hot it is. Wear it carefully. No big mistake."

Shi Yuanfei, who had been patrolling before, came over and told him: "Rest on the spot for an hour. If you have something to eat, you can supplement it. The army only eats two meals, one before going to bed, one after waking up, and the rest. There is really no such condition.”

Qin Huai nodded, expressing his understanding. They were not the only ones who handed in the food. Those who didn\'t bring much in the back probably handed in all of them. If the army took care of the three meals, it would take a lot of time just to distribute the food on the road. It affects the efficiency of traveling, so it is guaranteed to have a meal before going to bed and after going to bed, at least to go on the road with a full sleep and a full stomach, which is much better than what he thought before.

Mu Nan took two power banks, and gave one to Jian Chu and the others: "You guys charge the hats, my power bank is solar powered, so don\'t worry about using it, just put it outside in the sun during the day."

A big brother sitting next to them looked at their equipment and couldn\'t help saying: "You have all the equipment."

Qin Huai said: "Fortunately, the house didn\'t collapse, so everything in the house is still there."

The eldest brother sighed: "This world is difficult."

Mu Nan took off the mask and pinched Qin Huai\'s again. Like him, they were soaked in sweat, so he took out two dry ones, Qin Huai said: "Don\'t throw it away, it\'s just sweat, put it away first It can still be used after drying it in the sun during the day.”

Mu Nan nodded. Although they don\'t lack these masks, they still can\'t show their many appearances, and the superficial skills of recycling are always needed.

Jian Chu dug out a few packs of jerky from their trailer, and handed two packs to Mu Nan: "Eat some, replenish your energy, I don\'t know how long I will have to walk before I can rest."

Mu Nan said: "Eat it yourself, we have it." He said, ready to get his bag.

But she was suppressed by Jian Chu: "Sit down and eat, are you tired?" Before Mu Nan gave them so many things, only two packs of jerky, they could still give them.

Mu Nan had no choice but to take it, but he only ate two slices. He was afraid that Qin Huai would not be full, so he gave it to Qin Huai. He could stuff things into his mouth under the cover of the mask at any time, but there was no way to stuff into Qin Huai\'s mouth. So when you can eat, try to make Qin Huai eat as much as possible.

Knowing his plan, Qin Huai simply took the jerky and ate it.

An hour passed quickly, and the team moved again. Taking advantage of the time when others were tidying up, Mu Nan pulled off Qin Huai\'s mask and stuffed two pieces of sushi into his mouth. Resting on the ground, so saving electricity and not lighting up, especially when the lights are on, it will attract mosquitoes. Nowadays, mosquitoes are poisonous, so it is difficult to notice the people next to them.

Qin Huai knocked on Mu Nan\'s hat brim to remind him to pay attention. He quickly put on the mask, and then chewed and swallowed the sushi in his mouth. Fortunately, it was covered by the mask. As long as the movements were not too big, no one would notice him. At the moment, his mouth is bulging and he is eating.

After the break this time, the whole team didn\'t stop until dawn, but with the exhaustion of everyone\'s physical strength, the walking speed became slower and slower, and it was even more difficult to climb when encountering some ruins with relatively high slopes. A soldier saw that Mu Nan was having a hard time helping them move, so he helped them lift the car, otherwise Mu Nan would not be able to help Qin Huai carry the trailer over the slope, and Yu Zibai or Xu Ming would have to move it more.

After dawn, they had to find a place to hide before the sun was hot. Although everyone\'s physical strength was relatively good on the first day, walking all night would consume a lot of energy, so they had to go to bed early and sleep for a day. We will continue on our way at night. But the ruins outside were collapsing, and there was no good place for everyone to gather together to rest, so they simply divided them into their respective brigades and found a place to rest, but the whole team must be together, otherwise they will go far away and wait for them to leave after dark , The lost person can\'t be found.

Qin Huai and his team were in charge of a veteran and a young soldier. They were lucky and found a bank that was half collapsed. The veteran directly broke the door lock of the bank counter and asked people to sleep inside as much as possible so that the sun would not shine in during the day. on people. After settling in, food was distributed, and not everyone had food. The veteran held a list and came forward to get one after reading one. , just a little bigger than the palm of an adult, it is baked very hard, so it can be stored in heat, one person reads the name, and those who have not handed in the food, just sit on the side and eat what they brought.

Mu Nan took the naan and knocked it against Qin Huai\'s, but none of the hard scum fell off. The soldier couldn\'t help being happy watching their actions: "Chew it slowly, chew it a few more times, it\'s actually quite good. delicious."

Qin Huai said: "Take out the small pot, use the instant noodle seasoning package or that kimchi seasoning package and add some water to boil."

Mu Nan said: "That\'s kimchi." It feels like many people are tired of eating instant noodles, so tired that they may feel like throwing up when they smell it, such as Jian Chu who is next to him, so he still needs to take care of the people around him.

Seeing that they dug out a small stove with solid fuel in it and a small milk pot, they were shocked: "Those who didn\'t know thought you were out camping."

Qin Huai smiled when he heard the words: "Take what you have at home as much as possible, and be prepared for any danger. At most, it will be a bit tiring to carry on the road. If you really can\'t hold it anymore, you can slowly throw it out to relieve the burden on the road."

Although the naan was hard, it could still be torn apart with a little effort. Qin Huai tore the naan into small pieces and threw them into the kimchi soup pot to cook. Jian Chu and the others didn\'t wash their hands. In order to save the consumption of paper towels, they simply tore the naan Let Qin Huai tear it up alone, so they won\'t touch their hands, so as not to stain the food with their dirty hands.

Mu Nan dug out a few more packets of that beef sauce from the bag: "Is this to be dipped and eaten, or squeezed into the soup and eaten together?"

Jian Chu: "Squeeze it into the soup, you can add some spiciness." After finishing speaking, they dug out a few lunch boxes from their car. The lunch boxes were all disposable. They planned to wipe them with paper towels after eating. There is no way to wash it, just wipe it clean and put it away for recycling.

Mu Nan squeezed a few packs of beef paste into the milk pot, and then handed the two packs specially reserved to the soldier: "Here, rub it on the naan to enhance the flavor."

Xiao Bing quickly shook his head and refused: "No need, we have food for ourselves, you keep these, the days to come are still long, I don\'t know how long it will take to reach the University City."

Mu Nan said: "Just thank you for helping us carry the car. It\'s just a small bag, and it\'s not much. You can take it." A small packet of ten grams of sauce is not too much. After helping them, they can only use this kind of thing to pay back.

The young soldier was a little embarrassed, but the old soldier responded with a smile, and patted the soldier on the shoulder to let him take it away. There will be more opportunities to take care of each other on the road in the future, and it is not a waste of others.
