There is a pressurized well in the yard, which has been rusted and broken.

There is a stream behind the village. In winter, the water flows slowly. The water is surrounded by ice shells. The water is very clear and the depth is a little green. You can step over the narrow part of the stream in one step, and you can't see how deep it is.

Lanze got into several buildings by the stream that had not collapsed, but found no tools. It was filled with half of the room's decay of artemisia, a dark and moist smell.

He returned to the small building and found his backpack and the big pot on the roof. The pot looked like aluminum, and the plastic part on the pair of handles was gone, and the pot itself was intact. He found an old stainless steel kitchen knife near the big pot. The knife he carried was too small, and this old kitchen knife was adept. However, the wooden handle was a bit shrunk and cracked, and although it did not fall off, it was probably a clamp when used. So he tore off a cloth from the sheets of furniture on the second floor and wrapped the handle of the kitchen knife tightly.

Afterwards, he brought things downstairs, cut grass and mixed woods by the stream, and set up a fire. He made a large pot of water.

The big pot filled with water was very heavy, and he was very twisted in his walking posture, so he dragged the pot to the fire and then put it on the firewood.

He burned a large pot of hot water, and while it was dark, he took a shower and washed his clothes. Then he hung the clothes on a tall tree by the stream, drying his clothes with smoke, and purifying the water and having dinner. He continued to drink cold water and eat ready-to-eat food. After eating and drinking, he wore the drying underwear first, put out the fire, threw the kitchen knife into his backpack, carried a large aluminum pot and carried the bag to the second floor, and found a place to sleep.

I couldn't sleep on the ground, the tiled floor was very cold, which was much colder than sleeping on the ground. After walking around, he found the only suitable one, which was the bed frame in the room.

After opening the window to scatter the dust, he slept on the bed that night in aluminum foil and plastic paper.

Perhaps because of the indoor shelter, I didn't feel cold.

Since ancient times, the hills and ponds on the land of China have coincided with the "Hometown of Fish and Rice". Although humans have entered urban life and handed over the vast wilderness to nature, since it was once a land of Fish and Rice, it means that this land was feeding a large number of people back then. Therefore, there are also many abandoned single-family houses and large abandoned villages.

Abandoned farmhouses near the city were properly demolished before they collapsed. Whereas far away from the city, villages could only be slowly recycled by natural forces.

Even adobe bricks are transformed into soil. The ruins of the Great Wall of Rammed Earth have been around for hundreds or thousands of years, and the remains remain, not to mention bricks, steel bars and concrete.

Before leaving the building in the morning, Lan Ze inspected all the doors and windows, and closed the breathable window the day before he opened the air-saving window again. After crawling out of the second floor window with his bag on his back, he pulled the window well. Because the buckle was damaged, he tried to push and pull it a few times, and felt that the window would not slide open by itself, so he jumped down. Birds should not have the ability to open windows of this kind of sliding window.

The clothes hanging by the stream have already dried. The outdoor clothes are made of quick-drying, and as long as they are in a good ventilation environment, they will dry very quickly. However, because they are too thick, the smoke from the fire last night did not have much effect.

Lan Ze put on his clothes, brushed his teeth, took a few sips of cold water, held a small protein bar in his mouth, and then continued to set off.

His destination is not here.

He did not leave the same road as the village.

From the map, the end of another capillary-like road is not far from here. He just walked over directly.

Judging from the actual terrain, you may be able to walk back from the strong building where he was sleeping, and climb over the small earth slope in front of him. It has not rained in the past few days, so it is reasonable to walk on the earth slope.

There were scattered grass and wormwood everywhere on the soil slope. The grass only reached Lanze's calves high, and almost one person was taller. Soon, it was time to reach the ridge, and you could see that the downhill road was a bit long. Along the way were there were decayed grass and dead trees, mixed with a few evergreen trees. A white cement road was looming behind the bushes.

After finding that road, he found that this was the ruins of another village. The end of the road was the end of the village.

The red brick hut at the end of the road has collapsed and is submerged in weeds.

Walking along the road, one or two or three houses appeared along the road. The interpersonal relationships in rural areas seemed cold and distant.

Of course, this is all his illusion.

There is a section of the road in the village full of weeds, and a piece of mud has accumulated on that section, which is already connected to the land.

Seeing the abandoned courtyards on the roadside, collapsed houses, deserted grass everywhere, and no one was seen. Lan Ze was walking in it, as if he was the only one left in the world.

Of course, this is also an illusion.

China has a population of 2 billion, and the vast majority live in large cities with nuclear fusion energy supply. A few live in satellite cities that rely on radiation to transport energy. The population density is not large, but it is still around the big cities. Even the university town where he studied has a population of hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, it is not that there is no one in the world, it is just that there is no one here.

In China, there are not many more people, but there are not many less people. Because it has a huge population base and the educational level of the population is guaranteed through institutional means, so... all roles have a lot of candidates. All work is rushing to do.

No one is indispensable.

Lan Ze followed the map and walked straight. In the evening, he walked to another deserted village. Here, he did not see any intact buildings. It seemed that the small building he encountered the day before was just an accident.

He casually found a small courtyard near the water source to camp, intending to think carefully: Is the deserted village with traces of human activities his destination? Or should he find another place without traces of humans?

The small yard he found had a small piece of the yard wall, half of the house had collapsed, and the roof had collapsed on the collapsed half. He looked carefully at the house and found that the remaining walls happened to be in a stable triangular support state. If there were no natural disasters, it would be difficult to collapse in a short time. The ground inside the room was dry and flat, and it was originally a concrete ground. Lanze searched for branches to clean it, and the ground immediately shone in the sunset.

Lanze rested on the ground in several walls and put them in a safe manner.

There is no door, just ventilated and breathable. There is no roof, making it convenient to see the stars.

He slept quite comfortably. Although his thinking before going to bed became more and more deviant, he did not decide whether to end the rest of his life in a deserted village that he liked. At the same time, there were at least two options to end the rest of his life: seeking death immediately and living in seclusion to end his old age. The latter option was that he felt a sense of the abandoned village on the earth, and he had a thought that had just emerged from his heart. Of course, he did not make a decision.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, the sun was shining on his feet from the gap in the wall, and the aluminum foil and plastic paper shone silver.

The air in the morning was very fresh. Lan Ze turned over and had not sat up yet, his eyes swept to the broken wall.

I'll take a break!

An animal stood on the broken wall. Its body was yellow and its face looked a bit like a wolfdog.

This is a wolf!
