Infinite Disaster Survival

Chapter 39 Chapter 39 (1/2)

The room was packed with supplies.

The neatly stacked boxes on the left all have pictures of food on them. A few are placed in the top open boxes, and the food inside can be clearly seen. The large barrels placed on the right side are even labeled with gasoline. Even through the barrels, you can vaguely smell the smell inside.

So much of it is gasoline, so they don't have to worry about their vehicles running out of gas in a short period of time.

It took Grandpa Bai a long time to react, and he looked at Wen Zheng with some worry: "Xiao Zheng, these supplies were obviously collected here. We won't run into an inhabited house, right?"

"There were people here before, but not necessarily anymore."

Without answering the confused Grandpa Bai, Wen Zheng listened carefully after coming in. There should be no one living in this house.

However, just in case, he carefully opened the door with his weapon. There were two other rooms on this floor. It seemed that the layout inside was for the owner. Wen Zheng checked briefly and found that there was no identity of the owner of the room. illustrate.

However, the cabinets in the house were locked. When opened, they could be seen to be filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. They were so dazzling that Grandpa Bai, who followed behind, took a deep breath.

"These things were probably robbed." Wen Zheng said firmly.

Facing Grandpa Bai's questions, Wen Zheng explained the process one by one. Many of these gold and silver jewelry are jewelry. You can't tell it as necklaces, but there are obvious differences in the rings of different sizes. It is roughly estimated that these items come from at least seven or eight different people.

The key is still the observational gaze they felt when they came here, and the gang of Brother Yang who ambushed them. The appearance of the group was similar to the description of the four young people who had been to the community, and the young people had been blackmailed by them at a gas station. Considering the gasoline in the next room, the connection was naturally connected.

"You mean, this was once the stronghold of the group that ambushed us." Grandpa Bai quickly realized it, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Wen Zheng nodded: "These rooms have not been occupied for a while. It is estimated that they all moved out when they ambush us, but none of them were able to come back."

After reading the third floor, I went to the second floor. They were basically the bedrooms where those people lived. There were not many supplies inside, and most of the supplies were basically in the room on the third floor. When he went down from the second floor to the first floor, even Wen Zheng didn't expect that there were two intact trucks parked in the lobby on this floor.

"How many vehicles did this group of people robbed?" Wen Zheng sighed. The small truck was too obvious to be disguised, so they didn't drive out to ambush last time. They stayed here and now it's an advantage for us.

While talking, Wen Zheng found two car keys from the car next to him, took the keys directly up, inserted the car keys into it, and started the vehicle. Wen Zheng opened the car window and faced the worried Grandpa Bai. The corners of his mouth raised excitedly: "Grandpa Bai, first see how I drive, and then decide whether I can drive."

Wen Zheng and Grandpa Bai went out for two days. The grandparents who stayed in the community have been busy since they left, not only to strengthen the houses, but also to build walls to defend against zombies.

Several grandfathers helped build houses when they were young. Although the materials in the community are not sufficient, with the earth element ability, bricks removed from other houses can be fixed into walls, which can also increase a lot of efficiency.

At first they did not plan to build too high a wall, but reluctantly surrounded the house and left a yard where they could grow vegetables. They are continuing to defend now, and there are not many people, so they plan to build a small one first, and then build a larger wall to surround the entire community when they have time and materials.

Two days were barely enough for them to build a rough prototype.

Wen Zheng and Grandpa Bai came back the next afternoon. The people who stayed behind were pleasantly surprised by the speed of Wen Zheng and their return.

"Where did I find these two small trucks? They are really good. The chassis is so high and there is a lot of stuff in the truck." Grandma Shuying put down the rapeseed she was spreading and ran to the door of the courtyard, her eyes shining as she said.

"Don't just look at the car, look at the things inside the car first, it will shock you even more." Grandpa Bai Shu jumped out of the car with a proud look on his face.

Wen Zheng followed and got out of the driving position of the truck behind him. Before he could speak, Grandpa Li, who was staying at home, changed his expression from confusion to shock and then to anger. He yelled at Grandpa Bai angrily.

"I thought I met other survivors and drove back together, but... I told you to keep an eye on Xiao Zheng. Why did you just let him drive around? The safety of trucks and supplies is not important. What if something happens on the road? Half!"

Grandpa Bai, who was sprayed all over his face by Grandpa Li, had no choice but to wipe his face. I agreed to the driving, but Wen Zheng was the main driver. In the end, all his anger was directed at me. This big brother is partial. . And to be honest, this guy Wen Zheng is not very aggressive when driving, but he has not had any accidents.

Although if he had stayed behind and seen this scene, he would probably be partial to Wen Zheng.

Thinking this in his heart, Grandpa Bai couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Grandpa Li: "Am I such an unreliable person? I must have checked Xiao Zheng's driving skills before agreeing to let him drive. "

"That's right, you should ask clearly first if you are anxious. Don't blame my Lao Bai for no reason." Grandma Chunxi was naturally thinking of her wife, and Grandpa Bai immediately held Grandma Chunxi's hand in emotion.

Seeing the old people quarreling over him, Wen Zheng quickly changed the subject and opened the compartment of the truck: "Grandpas, grandma, and Yueyue, why don't you come and see what Grandpa Bai and I have brought back."

"Gasoline? Have you found a gas station?"

Several old people were equally surprised. They first put away all the supplies they brought back, and then sat in the room and listened to Wen Zheng explain the matter. After listening, everyone sighed, at least Wen Zheng solved it at that time. That group of people had been eliminated.

After Wen Zheng harvested the truck and showed that he was indeed capable of driving, the frequency of their driving out to search for supplies increased. Every time Wen Zheng went out, the grandparents took turns going out.

Mainly to exercise the courage to kill zombies and to train the attack methods of supernatural powers. I also collected a lot of crystal cores. However, they also consume a lot of energy to exercise their superpowers on a daily basis. They also need to keep some crystal cores at home for emergency use. In fact, the crystal cores are not enough.

After the surrounding area was almost cleaned up, Wen Zheng and the old people discussed it and brought together potentially useful supplies alone, and followed Grandpa Li to drive to the nearby Northeastern base.

Radios that can receive official signals can always be used. In the past few days, two bases in the same city gave a general introduction to the situation of the bases. These two bases have temporarily escaped from the situation of being surrounded by zombies, and the lives of the people inside have generally improved. On track.

Several old people preferred to live in the base in the future, but the last experience made them change their minds and decided to go to the base to see the situation first, and then move there if the life there was good.

So the oldest Wen Zheng and Grandpa Li became the ones to inquire about the situation and went to the base together.

We set out at dawn and turned all the way to the road where the army once walked. There were not many vehicles on the road. We walked for more than two hours. During this period, we changed to another road. We occasionally encountered very few vehicles on the road. Everything was dusty. , it looked like it was coming from a distance, and the vehicle looked like it had encountered zombies.

As we approach the base, we can see trucks used by the military leaving the base and heading out, looking like a team out to search for supplies.

When we arrived at the base, there were two gates in front of the wall. One gate allowed vehicles inside to get out, and the other gate was filled with vehicles that wanted to get in. They were all parked on the roadside waiting for inspection. People also had to get out of their cars and queue up. Wen Zheng Naturally, I drove to the back of the queue and took Grandpa Li down.

There was nothing to do while waiting in line. Wen Zheng would chat softly with Grandpa Li from time to time. People who were also waiting in line would occasionally join in the chat between the two.

Grandpa Li once served in the army and then returned from the army. Wen Zheng entered the base at the very beginning of his last world, and later stayed in the army all his life. The two of them looked at the walls of this northeastern base, and stood guard at the door and walls. The soldiers wearing green military uniforms felt close to each other from the heart.

"Everyone has to go to the room next to them to have their wounds checked. Anyone with a wound has to wait for more than twelve hours, or use part of the supplies to exchange for a blood test. There is no need to check the wound, and the results can be obtained in half an hour." Those who queued up. At that time, the soldier in charge of the inspection came over and informed them.

The team began to discuss, and some people asked how much supplies would be needed for the test. It turned out that each person needed twenty kilograms of grain or twenty crystal nuclei.

The amount of supplies required is definitely a lot under the current circumstances, but there are still people who can provide it. Both Wen Zheng and Grandpa Li can afford it, but Wen Zheng is not very confident about the process of drawing blood. Maybe he is too suspicious, but he is worried that the needles are not sterilized.

Several people in the queue chose to take blood tests, but the blood test had to be done in another small room built next to it, and the situation inside was completely invisible from the outside.

Anyway, there were no wounds on their bodies, so it was better to check them directly. However, it was a little embarrassing to take off their clothes in front of the inspectors. Wen Zheng always felt that the inspectors looked at him a few more times. Even Grandpa Li praised him for his usual I didn't notice it, but now I see that Wen Zheng's body is quite strong.

That is, he has both superpowers and cultivation methods, and he usually works killing zombies. Instead of having eight-pack abs, he has six-pack abs.

"There are no wounds. Please fill out these forms first and wait until your vehicle is inspected before you can go in." The staff member who had checked the wounds on the body took out two forms and placed them in front of them.

The first name, place of residence, and ID card number are all normal content, but at the end, you need to fill in whether you have superpowers and their attributes. There are several lines at the bottom of the form, all of which describe the benefits that the base provides to people with superpowers, including housing. As well as the treatment, they just need to follow the arrangements of the base.

Wen Zheng thought for a while and filled in "None" for the time being. However, Grandpa Li next to him didn't put much thought into it, but honestly filled in the earth attribute.

"The old man has superpowers? You are so lucky. You are the only one with superpowers registered in the base who is older." The staff member who took the registration form just glanced at it casually, and when he saw the item about superpowers , the smiles are much more enthusiastic than before.

The rest of the people cast envious glances at Grandpa Li, and the staff next to him even introduced: "Old man, there are tests for people with superpowers. Someone will take you there later. Our base's policy for people with superpowers." , it was written on the form just now, and the person who will guide you will introduce more details later. "

"I'll go alone. What's wrong with my grandson?" Grandpa Li glanced at Wen Zheng.

"Of course your grandson will follow you." The staff introduced, and after going out, he called a man in ordinary clothes with a red cloth tied on his shoulder to come over, and he was responsible for taking Wen Zheng and Grandpa Wen to test their superpowers.

The staff's main conversation partner was Grandpa Li, who had superpowers. Wen Zheng stood quietly beside him, not having much presence. He secretly observed the situation around him and saw the staff who had just checked the small truck open the door again from another unclear angle and went in.

Before Wen Zheng had time to ask, he was called into the base by the staff.

Following the staff's car, we drove to the superpower testing area, which was a special building, but it was not very lively. Wen Zheng and Grandpa Wen had just got off the car accompanied by the staff, and many passers-by looked at them twice.

After the two entered, Wen Zheng was especially welcomed by the inspectors inside. Xiao Li, who accompanied them, immediately explained: "It's not this young man who has superpowers, but this old man."

The inspector who made the mistake was not embarrassed, and smiled at the two of them, and then explained: "The few people in the base who can awaken superpowers are very young. We thought it was this young man based on experience, but we didn't expect to make a fool of ourselves. Old man, please come this way. You can resist such a serious zombie virus to stimulate superpowers. It's really amazing. You must have been in good health before the end of the world."

"Thanks to Xiao Zheng." Grandpa Li didn't know why Wen Zheng hid his superpowers. If Wen Zheng didn't say it, he wouldn't mention it. But when faced with such a question, he automatically said what he really thought in his heart.

Everyone looked over, and Wen Zheng shook his head: "Grandpa Li, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. Even if you were bitten by a zombie, I couldn't bear to do it. And you have protected me to the base after you have superpowers. No matter how you say it, I should thank you."

Grandpa Li patted Wen Zheng's shoulder, smiled but didn't say anything more. He controlled the soil according to the instructions of the testers, measured the most soil that could be controlled, the farthest distance, etc. According to the increasingly excited expressions of the staff, he knew that Grandpa Li's performance was outstanding among the superpowers.

After all these tests were completed, the testers gave Grandpa Li a medal representing superpowers, and like Xiao Li who led them, he kept introducing the benefits of superpowers joining the base.

To be honest, superpowers have advantages over ordinary people in combat and other aspects. Now ordinary people can still match superpowers by using firearms. But superpowers can absorb crystal cores, which can obviously enhance their strength, and there is no problem with the enthusiasm of the base.

And it is because superpowers are needed to work that they can get such good treatment, which makes people feel at ease.

Grandpa Li also wanted to let all the family members who stayed in the community move to the base. Everyone has superpowers, so he read the terms and conditions very seriously. But in the end, when asked whether he wanted to join, Grandpa Li said that he would consider it, at least he would go back and tell everyone.

After asking the staff about the general layout of the base, they got a detailed map. Then they said goodbye to the staff and prepared to walk around the base.

After leaving the staff, only Grandpa Li and Wen Zheng were left. Grandpa Li asked Wen Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, why don't you write that you are a superpower?"

Wen Zheng's eyes were always fixed on the window. He did not express his concerns, but talked about some of the situations he saw.

"Grandpa Li, when we were queuing outside the base, I noticed that all the convoys going out had to pay a certain amount of supplies or crystal cores, but the amount paid was different. Some teams didn't pay anything. When we came out after checking the wounds, the people responsible for checking the vehicles had come down, but after seeing someone making gestures, they went up again in a veiled manner."

Not only that, during the time he entered the base, Wen Zheng found that the situation of this base was okay at first glance, but it didn't feel as good as the military base he stayed in in his previous life.

"Xiao Zheng, you are suspicious..." Grandpa Li was uncertain.

Wen Zheng smiled: "I'm not sure, but I just feel that the management of this base is not very good."

According to the map, we came to the trading area opened in the base. It was basically ordinary people setting up stalls to buy, but vehicles needed to be parked in the specially designated parking lot outside.

When getting off the car, Grandpa Li didn't bring the badge representing the superpower, and followed Wen Zheng to look inside the carriage. The carriage was very messy, but it was normal to mess up things when checking whether there were zombies or people who were bitten by zombies in the car. After checking everything, there was nothing missing. It can't be said that the base inspectors would take the opportunity to steal. This is just an unfounded guess for the time being.

Grandpa Li and Wen Zheng took 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of flour from the carriage and put them in the supermarket cart placed at the entrance of the trading area, and there were also two jars of pickled sauerkraut. Wen Zheng also took a lot of crystal cores and put them in the pockets of his clothes.

After entering, he found that there were many kinds of things sold in the stalls. Wen Zheng and Grandpa Li didn't buy first, but walked around the entire trading market and took a clear look at the trading methods here.

All the coins before the end of the world have lost their effectiveness. Food, precious metals and crystal cores are now used as money. Food is the most popular, but more transactions are still conducted through barter.

After wandering around for a long time, they found that they were not short of many supplies, but several things that used solar energy to charge them aroused Wen Zheng's interest. There are also various canned and air-dried smoked meats. When they saw the stalls selling live chickens and fertilized eggs, they rushed over with their eyes shining brightly.

There were many people around the vendor, but very few people were willing to buy chickens and fertilized eggs. Many people bought ordinary unfertilized eggs at most. The man who set up the stall was a man who looked to be in his fifties. He didn't greet anyone when he saw someone coming, and he looked like he didn't want to buy anything.

To be able to get these things to sell in the apocalypse when most animals are dead, and still look so confident, must have a not simple background.

However, Wen Zheng and Grandpa Li wanted to buy something, and they didn't care about the background of the stall owner. When they walked to the stall, Wen Zheng looked at the chicken carefully and found that he was very energetic. He looked at the eggs again and found that they were indeed good.

"Boss, all you sell here are roosters?"

"How can the hens be sold if they are left to lay eggs? If you want to buy them, just buy them and stop talking nonsense."

"Buy it, of course we will buy it. We want these two roosters, including these fertilized eggs, which can hatch babies."

Now the stall owner looked at them with his eyes, looked at the two of them one after another, and then introduced the situation and price of these things in a leisurely manner.

Everything is exchanged for grain. Roosters are sold by the pound, and each pound requires ten pounds of grain. Fertilized eggs are sold individually, and each is worth a pound of grain. This ensures that the rooster is alive and healthy. The eggs are indeed fertilized eggs. But whether they can hatch it or not depends on them.

The prices of these things are not generally high, no wonder no one is willing to buy them. But if it can feed them, it is sustainable meat. Wen Zheng and Grandpa Li plan to buy these. There is enough food in the car, but buying things naturally requires bargaining.

Even though Grandpa Li was a man, he was very reasonable in setting the price. In the end, the stall owner gave a dead price.

Wen Zheng stopped Grandpa Li who was about to speak, and forced out a flattering smile: "Uncle, it's not that we can't bear to part with the food, it's just that there's not enough food. We originally brought some, but after checking and entering the base, we found that there was less food in the car. Twenty kilograms, or we can buy it from you. We also have two jars of pickles and crystal nuclei."

"Then bring the pickles and show them to me."

Wen Zheng immediately smiled and thanked him, but his heart sank. After mentioning the matter of checking for grain theft, the boss didn't look angry or slanderous, or even surprised. He just frowned slightly, feeling more extreme than before. He knew that this kind of thing did happen and happened often.

After returning to the car with two roosters and thirty fertilized eggs, Wen Zheng and Grandpa Li took some food with them to inquire about it and found out that the leader of the base had been changed during the zombie wave not long ago. No one has a bad word to say about the current leaders, but there is nostalgia for the previous leaders.

After the two people discussed it after returning to the car, they felt that the management of the base was not good enough, so they left the base directly with the things they bought. When they left, the staff in front of the base still remembered them and asked them specifically about their purpose of going out. Their eyes were quite puzzled. Wen Zheng made up an excuse casually, saying that he wanted to go out and shoot some zombie crystal cores while it was still early. , handed a pack of cigarettes to the guard, and there were vehicles rushing out behind them, but they still managed to leave.

When they left the base, snowflakes were falling in the sky, and winter was completely coming.

After they returned, they informed the elderly about the situation at the base and decided to stay in the community and not go to the base for the time being. They built the house walls, vegetable gardens, and air-raid shelters bit by bit, and they couldn't bear to leave. I raised two roosters in the air-raid shelter and found a way to artificially incubate the eggs. Life here is quiet but not complicated.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it has snowed several times. The wall to protect the house has also been built with everyone's efforts. Except for Wen Zheng, a fire-type person who is not afraid of the cold, everyone has become less fond of going out and prefers to stay indoors.

Noticing that the kettle began to emit white smoke, Yueyue, who was huddled in the quilt and reading a book by the light outside the window, immediately got up and ran to the kettle. Despite her young age, she was strong enough to lift the kettle and pour the hot water. Pour into the hot water bottle next to you.

Holding two hot water bottles in each hand, Yueyue ran into the air-raid shelter below through the entrance and exit. The plush hat she wore on her head had plush balls hanging on both sides, swaying as she ran. The nightlight on the chest glows faintly, and after walking inside for a few minutes, you can see the eggs packed in a cardboard box filled with cotton.

Carefully remove the eggs, take out the hot water bottle under the cotton, and you will know it is cold when you touch it with your hands. Put the hot water bottle that has just been filled with hot water in your hand, cover it with cotton, and then move the eggs back to the box. By the way. Flip all these eggs over.

The temperature for eggs to hatch is generally above 38 degrees, and the temperature in the air-raid shelter can remain over 20 degrees even in winter, so they use hot water bottles to control the temperature. Every time I turn the eggs, I come to replace the hot water bottle.

After finishing her daily work, Yueyue touched the shell of the egg lightly with her fingers, pouted and muttered: "Chicken, chicken, why don't you come out of it yet."

After squatting for a while, her feet were a little numb. Yueyue stood up and stamped her feet, then turned around and planned to go up and continue reading. She had just walked a few steps away when she heard a clicking sound behind her. She looked back in disbelief and saw that a chick had indeed broken its shell.

"You finally came out!" Yueyue excitedly ran around the cardboard box several times, and finally squatted back to the position just now, and gently placed her fingers in front of the chicks that had just hatched. Before her fingers touched it, the chick's sharp beak pecked it twice.

It didn't hurt at all, but it was itchy, which made Yueyue laugh crisply.

Holding the newly hatched chicks in her hands, Yueyue ran to the room on the ground and stayed by the fire. She didn't dare to bring the newly born and fragile chicks outside in such cold weather, and screamed to share the good news with everyone.

After that, the fertilized eggs in the cardboard boxes were hatched one after another, and the thirty chicks chirped every day, making the air-raid shelter much noisier. Thanks to the fact that they stayed up there most of the time, they were not disturbed by the noise.

The hatched chicks had enough food and water and could run happily under the air-raid shelter. Although they didn't have any special feed, they ate vegetables and insects every day, and the weight of the chicks, along with the two roosters that they were reluctant to kill, was growing rapidly.

Time passed quickly and the Spring Festival was approaching.
