Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 30: Little "deal"

   Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others did not urge Tian Erhe, so they caught the fire and sat quietly, as if waiting intently for dinner.

   Ten seconds later, Tian Erhe's focus recovered, and he shook his head with a low smile:

  "The city is full of dead bodies, and there are ‘unintentional people’ who have lost their minds everywhere. This is the case on the street, in the community, and in the mall.

"Those'unintentional' eat corpses, their mouths are bloody, just like the most ferocious beasts, they can even climb on the curtain walls of high-rise buildings like monkeys, suddenly swung down from a place nearly ten meters high, and appeared in Behind you, they will use guns...

   "There were eight or nine of us at the time. After encountering such a situation, they were half dead soon.

   "It may be that I was young, short, unobtrusive, and I didn't encounter an attack in the first round, so I survived.

   "We panicked, ran frantically, and got into a nearby police station.

   "Fortunately, those "unintentional" can shoot and change magazines, but they will not actively search for weapons. We found many guns and many bullets on some corpses in the police station."

   At this point, Tian Erhe smiled, and said to Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian:

   "Do you think that we finally broke the siege by relying on those weapons?

  "No. Several of us, including our elder uncles and aunts, do not know how to use guns, but the sound of gunshots attracted more ‘unintentional ones’.

   "At that time, I thought I couldn't make it any longer, so I cried.

   "Fortunately, fortunately, those uncles and aunts have a strong desire to survive, and they did not abandon me, so they moved all the way to the parking lot.

   "There was an off-road vehicle with the door open and the key inserted, but the owner was gone. I think he should have become a ‘unintentional’ and wandered to other places without reason.

   "Relying on this off-road vehicle, we ran into a few "unintentional people" and rushed into the street.

   "There are not many "unintentional people" in that area. We seized the opportunity and rushed out of the city all the way. When we got to the outskirts, it was much safer."

   Tian Erhe sighed:

   "Before I set off from Shuiwei Town, I was still thinking about being able to go back home and see if my parents were there. As a result, in short, I never saw them again."

   After sighing, Tian Erhe glanced at the steaming iron pan, and continued:

   "We had to go back the same way, collecting some food and clothes on the way.

  " Then, I gave up the off-road vehicle, took the collected items, drove over the broken road, and retrieved the two vehicles that had driven from the town.

   "In this way, we returned to Shuiwei Town.

"Because it is in the winter and the rescue has been delayed. Together, we all decided not to consider the issue of subsequent earthquakes and began to requisition the town's fairly good buildings. People can never freeze themselves to death, yes. Right?

   "Thank you for the New Year's Day. Every household has a new year's food. There are also a lot of things in several supermarkets. We didn't worry much about food all winter.

  " However, some uncles and aunts suggested that it is not good to distribute food in this way, it is easy to develop inertia, and waste precious time. They proposed to use labor in exchange for food.

"Most people agreed. Before spring really came, we partitioned several buildings here into many small rooms, repaired the fence, maintained the water canals in the fields outside the town, and fixed the water plant here. Of the water tower, skilled in the use of firearms...

   "It turned out that these things are very important. Whether it is dealing with famine or defending against beasts, robbers, and ‘unintentional’, they all played a big role."

   Tian Erhe's eyes diverged again, and it seemed that he had returned to the year of collective labor.

  His voice unconsciously became a little lower:

  "When the weather warmed up and the cold spring was over, we finally determined one thing:

   "The rescue will never come..."

   Tian Erhe raised his head, pulled out a little smile and said:

   "Our subsequent experience, you should be able to guess.

"It's nothing more than taking advantage of the chance that the'unintentional' died in large numbers in the winter, and began to explore the ruins of several surrounding cities, collecting food, clothes, guns, ammunition, batteries, fuel and other materials from them. At the same time, they organized production and tried hunting. , Send someone to the distance to see if there are any surviving cities.

   "How is it? Do you want to listen?"

   Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

   "Want to hear!"

After    finished, she smiled brightly:

   "You can talk while eating, and we listen while eating."

   The braised beef in the pot is almost heating up.

  At this time, Shang Jian Yao touched his stomach:

   "I'll go to the toilet first."

   "I'll go too." Long Yuehong followed and stood up.

   "Okay, wait for you to come back." Jiang Baimian understood these two team members who had just arrived on the surface.

   When she left the company for the first time and entered the black marsh wilderness, she was also resistant to on-site settlement. She was unwilling to drill in the small woods and hide behind the bushes until she couldn't help it.

   Among them, the trumpet is okay, the time is shorter, the environmental impact is not so great, and the shame is not so strong, the large size really needs to be courageous.

   Since she went out this time, according to her observation, Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong have not solved the large size.

   Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong followed the guidance of Tian Erhe, passing through the cluttered areas of various buildings, and walking towards the public toilet parallel to the side wall.

   During this process, they smelled a variety of smells. These smells were mixed together, making it impossible for people to tell what they were. They only knew that they smelled very bad, and they had to hold back forcibly, otherwise they would retire.

Shang Jianyao also saw several family members gather together and shared a stove to cook to save charcoal. He saw someone squatting at the door just like that, squatting at the door, drinking a thin meal without taking off their muddy clothes. , The color of porridge is not white enough, I saw a sick person lying in a building with the door half open, groaning in pain and took the spittoon, saw a mother holding a baby who must be under 1 year old, because it was too late to return home, I can only let the children urinate on the spot, and see many children under ten years old, busy helping their parents to make a fire, cook, and clean clothes...

  Walking, in the vigilant, defensive, and curious eyes, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong arrived at the public toilet.

   Women in skirts are drawn on their left hand, men with stick figures on their right.

  As soon as he turned to the right, Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong's eyes straightened.

   This public toilet is completely different from what they imagined. Compared with the public toilet inside "Pangu Creature", it is not as simple as it looks.

   There is a long urinal trough near the front wall, and the same length but a wider stool near the back wall.

   They flush regularly with the device at the junction with the women's toilet. There is no block in the middle, and they can flush completely with one flush.

   It's like moving two streams in.

   The only thing that comforted Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong was that Shuiwei Town paid more attention to the sanitation of public toilets, and the cleaning was relatively clean.

   "Come on?" Long Yuehong hesitated.

   "Go on." Shang Jian Yao took the lead, picked a position, took off his pants, and squatted down.

   Long Yuehong chose a place far away from him, and evasively untied the armed belt.

   "This, it feels a bit weird..." He couldn't help but glanced at Shang Jian Yao.

   There is no shade between them.

   Shang Jian Yao pinched his nose:

   "You have been a bit angry recently."

   "..." Long Yuehong was speechless.

   Just when they thought this was the most embarrassing scene, a group of townspeople from Shuiwei Town rushed in from outside.

   They looked at Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong a few times, some went to the urinal trough, some found a place to squat down.

   "This is even stranger." Shang Jianyao said Long Yuehong's voice.

   Then, his thoughts turned to strange places:

   "If Mayor Tian is also squatting here, someone who comes in will come to him and call the mayor..."

  The townspeople of Shuiwei Town next to Shang Jianyao subconsciously said:

   "There is a separate toilet in the mayor's room."

   In this way, the two chatted in a strange environment, making Long Yuehong amazed.

   Finally, Long Yuehong solved her personal problem, put on her pants, and went to the sink outside to wash her hands.

   He took a deep breath of relatively fresh air, and once again deeply confirmed one thing:

   Compared with the homeless settlements outside, the underground building of "Pangu Creature" is as beautiful as heaven.

   After a minute or two, Shang Jian Yao also walked out and washed his hands.

   They didn't discuss the situation of this public toilet, they kept silent very tacitly, and once again went through the chaotic area with brick houses, mud houses, and tents.

   Suddenly, a little girl ran up to Shang Jianyao.

She is about seven or eight years old, with her hair draped smoothly. She wears a light green sweater with a lot of **** and two obvious holes on the inside. She wears a sweater that is close to the knee and is washed white. , Jacket with a few patches.

She wears trousers of invisible material, gray-blue as a whole, patched with cloth of other colors, and a pair of black shoes with rags on her feet. She has a thin face and yellow eyes, but her eyes Very bright.

   The little girl was holding a pile of debris, thread ends, rags, faded buttons, broken hair ropes, glass **** with flower petals, empty matchboxes, and a ball of plasticine.

   She lifted her head and looked at Shang Jian Yao eagerly:

   "Brother, can I use these for a little bit of what you eat? Just a little bit, is it okay? Is it okay?"

   At the corner with the wooden shed, the aroma of braised beef floated over.

   Shang Jian Yao looked at the little girl in silence for two seconds, before she spoke again, squatted down, stretched out her finger, and pulled a few times among the pile of debris.

   He picked out a transparent glass ball with yellow petals embedded in it, smiled and stood up:

   "This is it."

   "...Thank you brother, thank you brother." The little girl was taken aback first, and then thanked again and again.

  Shang Jian Yao turned his head and looked at the wooden shed where Jiang Baimian and others were located:

   "Let's go over."

   The little girl hummed twice and followed him closely.

  Long Yuehong didn't know what to say, glanced at each side, and strode to follow.

   Soon, they returned to the vicinity of the jeep.

   "She?" Jiang Baimian looked at the little girl and expressed his doubts.

   Shang Jian Yao smiled clearly and said:

   "She exchanged me for a piece of braised beef with a good thing."

   He immediately sat down and picked up his bowl and chopsticks:

"can you start it?"

   "Yes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Jiang Baimian and Tian Erhe looked at each other.

   Shang Jian Yao quickly picked up a piece of beef, put it in a bowl, and handed it to the little girl.

   The little girl swallowed her saliva, and she was so busy that she was about to stuff the whole piece of beef into her mouth.

   But at this moment, Shang Jian Yao took the bowl and chopsticks back again.

   The little girl quickly raised her head to look at him, dazed and wronged.

   "Be careful of hot." Shang Jianyao whispered without expression.

  While speaking, he brought his thighs together, put the bowl there, and then holding a chopstick in one hand, slowly and seriously tore up the big piece of beef, and divided it into several small pieces.

   finished this thing, he picked up a piece of beef and handed it to the little girl's mouth.

   The little girl has bright eyes, bites and chews quickly.

   "Is it delicious?" Shang Jianyao kept watching her finish the beef.

   The little girl nodded heavily:

"good to eat!"

   Shang saw Yao suddenly smiled, and put another piece in it.

   Jiang Baimian saw this scene and couldn't help sighing:

   "You..."

   While sighing, she pointed her chin to the distance.

   Shang Jian Yao looked up and found that a dozen or twenty children approached eagerly in the square where various houses were built in chaos, all holding a pile of sundries.

   Shang Jian Yao's body suddenly stiffened.

   Tian Erhe gave a "hey", smiled and turned his head, and roared:

   "Go back! Go back!"

   The children suddenly showed unconcealed disappointment, and walked back to their home one step at a time.
