Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

The night was dark and windy, and the cold wind howled.

Four zombie wolves roared and rushed towards the two of them.

The tallest zombie wolf pounced towards Zheng Shiwu first.

Swish!
Zheng Shiwu moved his left foot to avoid the zombie wolf's attack.

Boom!
The zombie wolf pounced too fiercely and crashed into the wall behind it.

Zombie wolves, like zombies, have no intelligence and only kill prey based on instinct.

Generally speaking, Northwestern wolves are very intelligent and even use tactics.

But after becoming a zombie, although it became more ferocious and fearless, it no longer had the cunning of a wolf.

Immediately afterwards, the second zombie wolf pounced over. Zheng Shiwu aimed at the head of this zombie wolf and, using his height advantage, accurately stabbed the zombie wolf's head from top to bottom.

Press down hard.

The zombie wolf had its head pierced by a dagger.

No excessive showmanship, just one shot to the point of success.

After killing this one, Zheng Shiwu quickly changed direction to meet the zombie wolf behind him.

Ouch!

The tall zombie wolf behind roared, dug the ground with its claws twice, and pounced again.

Zheng Shiwu dodged again, because the zombie wolf was much faster. If he didn't have the certainty of hitting the target with one blow, he would never confront the zombie wolf head-on.

You must find the right moment and stab this zombie wolf to death with one knife.

Killing zombie wolves is the same as killing zombies.

Only hitting the head is effective. There is no point in making various wounds on their bodies. Instead, it will stimulate these zombies to become more ferocious.

Swish!
The black hand next to him also dealt with a zombie wolf at this time.

The two men moved closer again, and the two zombie wolves stood side by side.

Without any rest or waiting, the two zombie wolves attacked again.

call out!
Black Hand directly threw the iron stick in his hand and hit the head of one of the zombie wolves.

Zheng Shiwu also killed the other tall zombie wolf with a Nepalese machete.

Looking at the motionless zombie wolves, Zheng Shiwu walked over with a saber in his hand and finished off the zombie wolves one by one.

"What should we do with these bodies?" asked Black Hand.

Zheng Shiwu raised his head and looked in the direction of the Northwestern Force base, then looked at the factory building behind.

"This place is too close to them. Leaving the body here will make it easy to be discovered. Let's drag it into the factory."

"Row."

Black Hand squatted down, grabbed the zombie wolf's legs, and dragged the zombie wolf into the factory.

Ten minutes later, the two men dragged the four zombie wolf corpses to the corner of the factory.

Unless someone comes in here, they will never discover the bodies of these four zombie wolves.

However, it is also possible that other zombies will discover the corpse and come over to eat it.

Tread-tap-

The two men came out of the factory and returned to the street.

The two men picked up the package on the ground, looked around, and walked towards a house not far away.

Since they had been here during the day, they were quite familiar with the yard.

There is a cellar on the right side of the yard. There is a hole above the cellar. It is very narrow, only one meter high and one meter wide. There is an escalator on the wall of the hole.

"You go in first, I'll seal the cave entrance." Zheng Shiwu said to the black hand.

"Row."

After Heishou entered the cave, Zheng Shiwu handed the backpack to him and asked Heishou to take it and take it down.

There is a thick cement cover next to the cellar entrance, weighing dozens of kilograms.

Zheng Shiwu picked up the cement cover and placed it on top of the cellar, covering a small half of the cellar entrance.

He shrank his body and crawled in, then pushed the cement cover above with his right hand, gradually closing the hole completely.

It is a bit difficult to push a cement cover weighing dozens of kilograms with one hand from below.

It took him a while to push the cement cover to completely seal the entrance to the cellar.

There is a ventilation hole in this cellar. In the evening, they lit a lighter down there and it did not go out, which means there is enough oxygen below.

The vents are not in the same place as the entrances. The main function of the cellar vents is to ensure air circulation inside the cellar, expel harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, and keep the air inside the cellar fresh.

The entrance is where one enters and exits the cellar.

call--

Zheng Shiwu came down from the ladder and saw the black hand turning on the light, so he took off the night vision goggles on his head.

The entire cellar is long and narrow in shape, about ten square meters, which is considered a large cellar.

The vegetables stored in the cellar had already been emptied by the survivors, leaving only some sacks and wood.

The air was a bit stuffy, but it was much warmer when I came down than up there.

It was windy outside, taking away the warmth from my body.

Kaka!

Zheng Shiwu walked over with his bag, only to see a black hand digging on the ground with a small shovel.

"What are you doing?"

Blackhand said as he shoveled the dirt: "Dig it up, maybe there's some wine in there."

"How do you know?" Zheng Shiwu was a little surprised.

"I also have a cellar in my hometown. Sometimes I put the wine in the cellar. If you smell it carefully, there is a faint smell of wine in this cellar. Can you smell it?" said Black Hand.

"Drunk?"

"Yes, my hometown is the same as here in the northwest. We have to stock up on vegetables every late autumn. It's almost the same."

"Oh."

Zheng Shiwu ignored him. He took out the moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag from the package, then spread the moisture-proof mat on the ground. He leaned against the earth wall and ate the dry corn tortillas.

I turned around and felt something painful under my butt.

Assuming the ground was uneven, he put the tortilla back into the bag, stood up and picked up the moisture-proof mat.

He drew out his saber and picked up the clod of earth.

clang--

?

When he heard this sound, he felt something was wrong. This was not the sound of a saber hitting a clod of earth.

Instead, it sounded like the sound of ceramics colliding.

"Didn't you say there might be wine buried in here? Bring the lamp over here." Zheng Shiwu said to the black hand next to him.

Upon hearing this, Heishou ran over and shone the light on the place where Zheng Shiwu had just been lying.

The raised area in the middle reflects some light under the light.

Seeing this, Heishou's eyes lit up.

After squatting down and digging twice with a shovel, a pottery jar appeared in front of them. Although only a few centimeters were exposed, he could be sure that this was the buried wine jar!
"It's true! Get out of the way, I'll dig it out! This is so cool!" Black Hand said excitedly.

Zheng Shiwu was also a little excited when he heard this. It was very cold in the northwest, and they would be here for the next few months, so the temperature would definitely drop further.

With wine, at least you can warm your body.

He removed the entire moisture-proof mat, along with the wrapping and sleeping bag, to make room for the black hand.

Black Hand dug little by little with a shovel half an hour later.

The black hand dug out two wine jars, one of which was about the size of a 10-liter household mineral water barrel.

There was a layer of mud sealing the top of the wine jar, and it looked like it had been buried for a long time.

The black hands tapped the sides of the mud seal with a shovel until cracks appeared in the mud seal.

He continued to hammer away, and as he hammered, the crack grew larger until the mud seal could be peeled off by hand.

He was extremely gentle when peeling it off, for fear of damaging the mud seal.

After the clay seal was peeled off, he wiped the dust off the rim of the jar with his sleeve.

The underlying covering, bamboo shoots, is revealed.

Seeing Zhu Ruo, Hei Shou grinned and said, "It seems that this wine has been stored for at least ten years. It is an aged wine. We are lucky now."

“More than ten years!?” Zheng Shiwu was a little surprised. He had never drunk any ten-year-old wine. But when he thought about it carefully, it had been six years since the end of the world.

"Should we open it? It will be hard to seal it back if we open it. If we take this unopened wine to the trading market, we can definitely sell it for a high price." Black Hand asked Zheng Shiwu who was behind him.

"Open it." Zheng Shiwu said without hesitation.

"it is good."

The black hand carefully removed the covering bamboo.

After a few seconds, a smell of alcohol filled the air.

The aroma of pure grain wine is mellow and elegant. You can tell it is an old wine that has been stored for a very long time.

"It smells so good! Would you like some?" Heishou turned his head and looked at Zheng Shiwu.

"It's all open, it would be a shame if we don't have some, come on!"

Heishou got up and took the kettle. Their kettle was a large 2-liter kettle with a concave lid that could hold about 2 to 3 taels of water.

He came over with the lid and the wine jar leaned against the ground.

The light shines on the inside of the wine jar, and the wine inside appears light yellow, clear and transparent.

The rich aroma of wine made Heishou swallow his saliva. Looking at his expression, Zheng Shiwu knew that this guy might have been a wine lover in the past.

"Just drink a little, don't drink too much, we still have work to do tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Black Hand waved his hand.

"Keep it for me, don't pour it out and waste it."

He squatted on the ground, turned the wine barrel, and poured the wine onto the bottle caps.

Very carefully, when the bottle was almost full, he held the jar and poured it backwards.

The wine line broke immediately.

Not a drop was spilled.

Hei Shou picked up the bottle cap and handed it to Zheng Shiwu, "Come on, Lao Zheng, try it first."

Zheng Shiwu glanced at him and took the bottle cap.

Take a sip.

Ok?
Zheng Shiwu's eyes lit up. He was not a big drinker, but he felt that the wine he drank this time was the best he had ever tasted.

It is slightly sweet on the palate, with a mellow aroma, a strong and full taste, and the hops are light, full and evenly distributed.

He took another sip, his mouth full of the aroma of wine.

It is mellow because after years of aging, the alcohol and water in the wine have been fully integrated, presenting a very soft taste.

"How is it? How is it?" Black Hand looked at his expression and asked excitedly.

"Very good." Zheng Shiwu gave his evaluation after taking two sips.

Very good. Zheng Shiwu has always had extremely high requirements for many things. To be able to achieve such a good result is already ridiculously good.

Zheng Shiwu handed the bottle cap to Heishou.

Black Hand couldn't wait any longer and took a big sip impatiently.

Hold the old wine in your mouth and savor it carefully.

The wine goes down the throat, and then goes straight to the stomach.

call--

The rich aroma of wine gushed out, and Black Hand groaned:

"Damn, I didn't expect to be able to drink such good wine even in the end of the world. This trip to the northwest is totally worth it!"

He couldn't bear to drink such good wine too quickly, so he sipped it slowly, bit by bit.

Zheng Shiwu didn't drink much and his alcohol tolerance was not that good, so he drank one or two more glasses and then stopped.

After drinking some wine, my stomach felt warm. In such a cold day, drinking some wine is the most comfortable thing and it helps me sleep better.

Zheng Shiwu stood up, took the moisture-proof mat aside and spread it out, then continued to eat his dry food.

Seeing that Heishou was still drinking, he reminded him:
"Black Hand, don't get drunk and mess up things. After you finish this bottle cap, don't drink anymore."

"Okay, I know. Don't worry. I only drank less than half a kilogram of the two-kilogram dose. I'm not drunk at all." Heishou said with a smile.

The cold wind howled outside the vent, and they hid in the safe shelter of the cellar, drinking and listening to the wind.

After Zheng Shiwu finished his dry food, he took off his outermost camouflage suit and got into his sleeping bag.

Listening to the wind, I fell asleep.

Heishou sat next to the wine jar, staring blankly for a while.

Drinking this wine reminded him of the old days.

The first half of his life was full of ups and downs, and the past played before his eyes like a slide show. He remembered many things, some things that he was about to forget.

The next day.

Zheng Shiwu woke up early. Looking at the wine jar that had been resealed, he looked at the black hand.

It’s okay, I didn’t drink too much.

Today they are going to change location, to a place where they can see the Northwest Base.

We are still too far away from the Northwest Base and can only see their front-line sentry towers and barbed wire.

The closer they get to the northwest, the more careful they have to be, because if they are discovered, they will be dead.

He woke up twice in the middle of the night yesterday, woken up by the roars of zombies.

They were lucky yesterday and didn't encounter too many zombie wolves. They could handle four of them, but if there were more than a dozen, it would be troublesome.

"Black Hand, wake up."

Zheng Shiwu kicked Heishou's leg.

Heishou woke up slowly. He had a good sleep last night.

It was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had.

I stood up and stretched my muscles, and my bones began to crackle.

After the two of them ate some dry food, Heishou looked at the two jars of wine and became conflicted.

Should I take it away or leave it here?

"Don't look at it. This wine jar is so big that we can't take it away!" Zheng Shiwu saw what he was thinking and interrupted his thoughts without hesitation.

Hearing this, Black Hand was like a cat with its fur standing on end. He retorted, "But it's such a waste to leave such good wine here!"

Zheng Shiwu sighed and said:
"No, I didn't say no. The wine jar is too big for us to carry. Let's bury it first, and when we leave later, we can get some plastic buckets to take it away. We don't have any containers now, and it's inconvenient to carry the wine jar."

When Black Hand heard him say this, he finally understood.

But he was somewhat unwilling to leave it all here.

So he rummaged around in the package and finally found a container that could hold the wine.

A water bag made of animal skin, which they found in a private house when they were camped overnight near ZY City.

It was originally used to hold water, but he drank up all the water in the bag.

Seeing him take out the water bag, Zheng Shiwu did not stop him.

Anyway, all the water was drunk, but it would be troublesome for them to replenish it later.

There was still 7 liters of water in the car, which was kilometers away from them, and the two people's large-capacity kettles had a total of liters.

Today we must first find a suitable location to observe the Northwest Base, and then we must find a way to replenish the water source.

Although the northwest has been dry for many years,

But this place is at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, and you can see the snow-capped mountains at a glance.

There is abundant meltwater from the mountain snow, and clean water can be replenished from the Beida River in the south or at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Afterwards, the two packed their bags, put on camouflage uniforms, and sneaked towards the Northwest Base.

Instead of going in a straight line, they made a large circle, starting from the north of the Northwest Base and going from the west to the south.

The south side of the Northwest Base is at a higher altitude and has many mountains, so they can overlook the entire Northwest Base from there.

According to the information provided to them by Oil City,
The Northwest Base was built in the Guancheng scenic area of ​​Jiayu City before the end of the world.

There is an ancient city wall over there, standing for a thousand years.

Located in the middle of a narrow valley 5 kilometers west of Jiayu City.

The city walls on both sides of the city gate cross the desert Gobi, connecting to the Black Mountain Hanging Wall Great Wall in the north and the No. 1 Mound in the World in the south. It is the pass at the western end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and has been called the Throat of Hexi in history.

The two of them were not moving very fast. They relied on the surrounding buildings and approached the northwest base little by little.
