Aurora Soldiers

Chapter 16 Abnormal Sound
  Drilling wood to make fire? !
  Hearing Huang Yuerou's words, Zhang Chengguang was slightly startled, unable to react for a moment.

Modern fuel failed, electricity was paralyzed, and some laws of the earth seemed to have undergone fundamental changes. He originally thought that the monsters made fire because they had mastered other power-using techniques, perhaps related to the green fluorescence, but he never thought that the reason for making fire was The method is so simple and original!

"Are you sure? It's just drilling wood to make fire, rather than using some other method? Or is there something unusual in the process of drilling wood to make fire?"

Zhang Chengguang asked with some uncertainty.

"should not."

Huang Yuerou nodded firmly and continued to recall: "When I was captured, they hadn't made a fire yet. I saw the whole process. The monsters cut branches from the surrounding trees, and then drilled the wood to make fire. , didn’t do anything else, at least I didn’t see it.”

"What's unusual about it is that they use new firewood to make fire, and they don't add combustion aids? Just as they drill, a fire suddenly appears. This doesn't seem to be consistent with common sense. I'm in the short video I’ve seen it on the platform, and it seems that if you want to successfully drill wood to make a fire, you need dry firewood and combustion aids, right?”

Zhang Chengguang nodded when he heard this.

Indeed, the essence of drilling wood to make fire is to generate heat by friction. Therefore, if you want to make a fire successfully, you must choose materials with lower ignition points. You often need to use sun-dried and dehydrated wood and combustion-supporting materials such as sawdust and dried weeds. , otherwise let alone manpower, even using an electric drill may not cause a fire.

The new firewood just cut from the tree is still full of moisture. Not to mention drilling the wood to make a fire, it is difficult to throw it into the fire and even try to burn it.

This is very unreasonable.

Drilling wood to make new firewood does not require combustion aids.
  What does it really mean that chemical fuels can’t burn, but trees can?
  Have the trees changed? Or has the earth's vegetation changed?
  Zhang Chengguang couldn't figure it out, but he remembered it. At least he now knew how to make a fire. If the current situation wasn't suitable for lighting a fire, he would have thought of a way to test it now.

"These are not areas that I am good at. If you want to understand the changes in the world in detail, you need professional researchers to analyze and summarize the rules."

Zhang Chengguang secretly thought in his heart that his personal abilities were limited. If he wanted to truly understand this new world, adapt human beings to the new laws, and cope with the coming disasters, it would take the efforts of everyone.

He couldn't help but think of the guy nicknamed "Chan Yandao" in the six-person Shangwu Binggong Attack Management Group.

This person is a lecturer in the Chemistry Department of Guangjiang University and the eldest among the six-person group. If it were him, he should be able to analyze something. I wonder how that guy is doing now.

"I noticed that the monsters seemed to have killed all men, and all the women were captured. Did they do anything to you after you were captured?"

Zhang Chengguang calmed down his thinking and continued to understand the situation.

"I don't know much about this. After the monsters caught me, they blocked my mouth, forcibly took off all my clothes, and then tied me up with ropes. I was so scared at the time that I thought these monsters were going to insult me. Me, but they didn’t do anything, they just sent me to the park and hung me up.”

Liu Qing recalled in a low voice.

"That seems to be the case. When we rushed out of the basement, most of the men were killed by the monsters, but they didn't seem to kill the women."

Zhang Feng also nodded and turned his attention to Huang Yuerou.

After the basement was breached, she ran out while Huang Yuerou was caught at the scene. She should know the situation better.

"Not only was the man killed, there was also an old lady with gray hair who was caught together with me. She must have been sixty or seventy years old. The monster killed her, but it didn't kill me."

Huang Yuerou said with some trembling. At that time, the old lady's neck was broken by the monster like a chicken. Her drooping head and bulging eyeballs were still staring at her, as if she would not rest in peace.

The monster took off their clothes, but did not violate them in any other way.

Instead of just killing men, it seems that older women are also killed by the monsters and are not targeted for capture alive.

This seems to further support Zhang Chengguang's guess.

"What exactly do they want to do? Kill men and old women, but leave young women. It seems to be related to reproduction? But why do they just capture us instead of violating us?"

Liu Qing said with a somewhat frightened voice. She could not imagine what terrible things would happen to her if she was not rescued.

"It's still unclear."

Zhang Chengguang shook his head, with some bad premonitions in his heart, but he had no other information now.

"Brother Guang, where did these monsters come from? No one has come to rescue them for so long. Has the whole world fallen?"

Liu Qing hugged her knees and asked in a low voice. "It's hard to say, but we must be prepared for the worst. You should know that there is a complete power outage in various places and the machinery cannot be started. But you may not know that even some underlying rules of this world have changed. I am afraid that guns and guns have been completely It’s malfunctioning.”

Zhang Chengguang told what he had discovered, and the more he talked about it, the more pale and desperate the faces of the three women became.

Originally there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts waiting for rescue to arrive, but now it is completely gone.

Without sharp weapons such as guns and cannons, how can humans face these monster armies?

wrong! Human beings are not without the power to resist.

The three of them cast their eyes on Zhang Chengguang, and the shocking scene they witnessed in the park came to mind again.

"Now, I want to tell you about my next plan. I plan to go southeast of the old city, first to the suburbs of Guangjiang City, and then from the sparsely populated areas in the suburbs, to the north, towards He'anshan District. If you want to follow me, then you must obey my command completely, otherwise, I will remove you from my team. I will try my best to ensure your safety, but the dangers along the way are unknown, and I cannot guarantee that I will completely take care of you. ."

"Of course, if you have your own ideas, you can take action on your own. I won't hold you back."

After calming down, Zhang Chengguang said to the three of them seriously.

"I'll follow you."

Liu Qing hurriedly said that she no longer had any relatives. After the park incident, she almost regarded Zhang Chengguang as her only hope of survival. If Zhang Chengguang left her behind at this time, she might not be able to survive in this desperate world. No courage.

"I will follow you, I can work, I just want to live."

Zhang Feng said with red eyes.

"I want to find my child."

What Zhang Chengguang didn't expect was that the only one who had other ideas was Huang Yuerou, who seemed the weakest and most cowardly among the three.

While talking, Huang Yuerou suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Chengguang's sleeve tightly, and said excitedly: "You want to go southeast of the old city, right? There is a Dewang Primary School there, and my child is there. I go to school there, can you take me there to look for it? Maybe he is still alive, as long as you take me to look for it. No! You don’t need to take the risk with me, as long as you send me nearby, I can look for it by myself ! Regardless of whether I can find it or not, I can do anything you ask me to do!"

The young woman looked up at him, her eyes were red, her beautiful face was full of determination, but her timid face was now filled with determination.

Find it yourself?

Zhang Chengguang looked at her with some surprise. He didn't expect that this weak-looking woman could have such determination for her child.

Dewang Primary School?
  Zhang Chengguang thought for a moment and recalled the topography of the old city. The elementary school seemed to be on the southeastern route of the old city.

"I don't need you to do anything. If I'm on the way and the area is safe, I can choose to stay near Dewang Primary School, but the road is dangerous and unknown. I can't guarantee that the route will pass there. I will take everyone's safety as my priority. The first rule is that it cannot change just because of you. You'd better be mentally prepared and don't have too much hope. And, with all due respect, the hope of your son surviving is very slim. People who are alive should cherish their own life."

"Of course, if you still insist on going at that time, then we will have no choice but to part ways."

Zhang Chengguang looked at her and slowly pulled out the arm she was holding.

"Thank you, thank you. This is enough, this is enough. Anyone can give up on him, but only I can't. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will go and see."

Huang Yuerou bowed repeatedly to thank her, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she murmured in a low voice.

"Take a break for half an hour and then move on."

Zhang Chengguang stopped looking at her and sat down in the darkness beside the floor-to-ceiling window. While alerting the situation in the direction of the park outside the window, he took out a rag and knife oil, preparing to perform basic maintenance on the care knife, check it, and kill again. After killing two monsters, what happened to the blood spots on the heart knife?

Roar! !

However, at this moment, changes occurred, and a low roar suddenly sounded. The three women who were leaning against the wall and preparing to take a nap with their eyes closed immediately tensed up and almost jumped up on the spot. Their whole bodies could not help but tremble.

They recognized this voice, it was the roar of a monster!
  Has a monster appeared? ! Have their whereabouts been discovered? ! !

On the other side, Zhang Chengguang immediately stood up from the ground. He could clearly tell that the roar did not come from the direction of the park, but from the west side of the Golden Scale Garden!
