Chapter 1165: Living is not easy anymore, be content!
In Wuyi Mountain.
Thick fog filled the air, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a vast expanse of white.
On top of an inconspicuous mountain top.
There are few people and very few zombies.
There is a cultivated field surrounded by wooden fences.
There is a house in the center.
inside the house.
The man with long hair still hasn't made dry ice after all.
Without any choice.
He could only turn on the flashlight, fumble to the small storage room, and move the wood stored in it back to the living room.
I fell down two or three times along the way, but finally arrived in the living room.
He lit the wood and placed it in the fireplace in the living room.
Since we can't make dry ice or liquid nitrogen, we can only use the simplest method to clear the indoor fog.
Increasing the indoor temperature and evaporating the water vapor in the room can naturally achieve the result of clearing heavy fog.
Crackling——
In the fireplace, the wood burned vigorously.
Hearing the sound of burning wood, the man's heart calmed down inexplicably.
He got up and groped for his wife and children by lighting the lamp.
"Wife, are you still over there?" The man walked near where his wife was and said softly.
"Still, how are you? Is there any way?" The wife's voice was a little nervous.
Listening to the direction of his wife's voice, the man walked slowly over and said, "If there is a way, I will take you to the living room. I burned the fireplace. It should be useful."
As he spoke, he touched his wife's shoulder.
His wife's hand held his sleeve tightly.
The man said in a broad voice: "Follow me..."
As he spoke, he fumbled and picked up the child, took his wife's hand, and walked to the fireplace.
The fire in the fireplace illuminated the dark night.
The family sat in front of the fireplace, where the fire was shining and the heat was escaping.
Within a few meters of the fireplace, the fog dissipated a lot.
The man saw clearly the worried expression on his wife's face and the frightened faces of his two children.
Feeling a little guilty, I slowly hugged them into my arms.
"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
In his arms, the head of a little boy poked out:
"Dad, are there any zombies coming?"
The man rubbed his head and said softly:
"Don't be afraid, our place is very remote and there will be no zombies coming."
The little boy buried his head in the man's arms and hugged the man's arms tightly.
Just at this time.
There was a tinkling sound in the distance.
The wife's face changed drastically and she looked at her husband in horror.
"There's some movement," the wife said to her husband.
The man gave her a calm look, narrowed his eyes, and then said to his wife: "Take them with you, and I'll go out and take a look."
"don't want."
When the woman heard the man saying he wanted to go out, she eagerly stopped her and said:
"Don't go out. The view outside is even worse. We might as well stay indoors. The doors and windows are closed anyway, so it should be difficult to break in."
"If there are a lot of zombies, then we can't resist. We must die together."
"If there are only one or two zombies, then we don't need to deal with them. We will go out and deal with them when the fog dissipates a little."
After the man heard what his wife said, he felt that what she said made sense.
Now is not the time to show off your bravery. You can't see anything outside. If you run out and a zombie is behind you, if you get bitten, you'll be doomed.
It's better to stay indoors. As the wood burns in the fireplace, the indoor fog dissipates a little. If zombies really break through the door and come in, they will have a better view indoors and have a home field advantage.
The man was persuaded by the woman and stopped going out.
I just checked all the doors and windows in the house to make sure they were closed.
Finally, he returned to the living room with an ax and knife.
They were sitting next to the fireplace in the living room. The man quietly watched the thick fog in the room slowly fade away. He held the knife in his hand and looked in the direction of the door.
After a long time, he didn't hear the strange sound just now.
Time passed by and the two children slowly fell asleep.
Kakaka——
Wow!
Suddenly there was a rapid sound.
The man was a little drowsy when he heard the noise and stood up in excitement.
During that time, the indoor fireplace evaporated the water vapor in the room, making the indoor view much better.
The man can even see the door ten meters away.
My wife and two children are still asleep.
The man walked to the door with the knife in hand and looked outside through the window.
It's still dark outside.
It means it is evening now.
swish swish——
A burst of messy footsteps came from outside the door.
The man held his breath and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
Over the years, he has dealt with zombies many times.
After the zombie outbreak, one or two zombies will break in almost every two months.
One or two zombies is not a big problem for him.
boom!
He heard the sound, and it seemed that the table outside the door had been pushed down.
The man looked at the switch on the wall and hesitated for a few seconds before turning on the light at the door.
He installed solar panels on this house a long time ago, but they have been damaged a lot over the years.
Later, they had to limit the use of electricity and not use it unless necessary.
The light at the door illuminates.
boom!
A hand suddenly appeared on the window glass.
That hand was full of rotten flesh.
Immediately afterwards, the zombie's head hit the wooden frame outside the window glass.
The zombie found him.
Kaka.
The wooden frame outside the window glass was hit and made an unpleasant sound.
Outside the window glass, he nailed a row of wooden frames.
Although this zombie cannot directly break the glass, if the wooden frame is broken, the glass will not be spared.
By that time, the heavy fog outside will inevitably blow in through the windows.
Thinking of this, the man didn't hesitate and opened the door directly.
Roar!
The zombies smelled the strong human smell in the room and rushed in.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
When the zombie rushed in, the man stabbed the tip of the sharp knife into the zombie's head.
Phew!
The zombie's head was pierced with a sharp knife.
boom!
The zombie's body fell on the edge of the door.
There was a loud noise.
The wife by the fireplace also woke up and came over nervously.
"Stop talking and push this zombie out first."
The man glanced at his wife and said quickly.
As he spoke, he helped the zombie up, and then he and his wife pushed the zombie's body out the door.
Boom!
After the man pushed the zombie's body out, he quickly closed the door.
Huhu——
Panting violently.
"Why did the zombies come in? The boss." The wife realized it later and asked with some horror.
The man swallowed and said:
"That zombie has been wreaking havoc outside, why not let it in and kill it. It's okay, it's all over."
The wife didn't say anything when she heard this, she just hugged the man tightly and listened to the heartbeat of the man's chest.
This moment seems like a century.
It is not easy to survive in the apocalypse and be in constant fear every day.
.......
It is about a hundred kilometers away from the Northern Federation in the south.
Suburbs of Shijia City.
The basement of a house.
The basement is well sealed and no fog comes in.
However, the entire basement was very stuffy and there was not enough oxygen.
"Qu Liyi, please open the small window in the basement and let some air in. I feel like I'm going to suffocate." A woman's voice sounded in the darkness.
When the man named Qu Liyi heard this, he hesitated before opening the small window behind him.
The basement window is opened at the corner of the building.
The windows were opened, and the outside air came in. Along with the cold air, some sinking fog also drifted in.
However, there were no lights in the basement itself, and they did not dare to light a fire in the basement.
The basement is inherently closed, and if a fire breaks out, it is easy to die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
It just so happens that it's not as cold as it was a while ago, so it doesn't matter if you don't warm up by the fire.
"Sister Zhao, is it really a good idea for us to come out of the north? I've been doubting my decision recently." Qu Liyi asked while sitting on the ground.
These people in their basement were all people who left the outer city immediately after the Northern Federation was conquered by the Great Zhangshu Base.
At that time, many people left from the north, and these people who left dispersed to various places.
The reason why these people left was not only because they were affected by the aftermath of the siege by millions of zombies.
It's more because I can't live anymore.
The Northern Federation will never distribute disaster relief food to these people in the outer city.
You are responsible for your own profits and losses and solve your own food problems.
It only provides you with a place to hide from zombies.
The Northern Federation is so big, and there is so much demand for cheap labor, so many times, people from the outer cities of the Northern Federation are like migratory birds.
When you run out of food, you run out to search for ways to find a way. When you get rich, you return to the northern border for a while.
These people are just because they can no longer stay in the northern border, there is nothing for them to do, and there is no food in the northern border.
You can also try your luck by running out.
But the sad thing is that they have been out for several days and have not found anything to eat in several cities near the Northern Federation.
So we headed south all the way to Shijia City.
On the road, I would dig up some grass roots, or eat some mice, cockroaches and other animals, and barely survive.
But some people still starved to death on the road.
We persisted until we reached the suburbs of Shijia City.
Finally, they found some cans that had expired in the basement of the building where they were staying.
After hearing this, Sister Zhao patted the iron rod in her right hand against the heart of her left hand.
He opened his mouth and said: "If we stay in the north, we will all starve to death, but we are still alive now, right?"
Qu Liyi sighed and said:
"But Sister Zhao, it's heavy fog outside and there are zombies all around. We have been staying here. If the zombies find us, we will all be finished..."
"If you stay in the north, you don't have to worry about zombies. At least it's safe there..."
"What a bastard!" Sister Zhao couldn't help scolding:
"Didn't you understand what I just said? We are staying in the north and there is no food. Do you think you can't understand human language or something?"
"I don't like people like you hanging around the most. I won't let you follow me when I come out. You insist on coming over, and you are gibbering when you come out."
"If you have any objections, you can go back to the north now."
Seeing Sister Zhao getting angry, Qu Liyi did not dare to say any more.
Menmen stood up, lying next to the small window and looking outside to check the situation.
Since the location of the basement is relatively low and the small windows are in the corners below, the breath that people exhale does not escape quickly.
Tap tap tap——
There was a sound of zombie footsteps.
The seven or eight people in the basement held their breath and did not dare to make any sound.
This is already the tenth wave.
It seems like there are always zombies passing by outside, but they seem to go straight to somewhere and don't stop here.
Wait until the footsteps have gone away.
Only then did everyone dare to breathe heavily.
Qu Liyi was lying on the small window, which was only the size of two pieces of A4 paper.
There is thick fog outside.
Even the tree that was only two meters away from the small window could not be seen by Qu Liyi.
After looking at the window for a while, Qu Liyi sat down again.
He rummaged around in his bag.
I touched a cold can.
The cans they found in the basement were distributed by Sister Zhao immediately.
Sister Zhao, although she has a bad temper, she does things fairly and justly, so there are always some people who are willing to hang out with her.
The person who finds the food directly takes 50% of the food, and the other people who participate in the search share the remaining food equally.
No one has any objection to this.
After touching it, there were only two cans left.
Qu Liyi swallowed his saliva and decided not to eat for the time being.
He didn't find this can, so he only got five cans in total.
He tightened the belt around his waist.
The stomach is tightened so that you don't feel so hungry.
He felt the extra length of the waistband and calculated it.
Not bad, according to this length, he can still be hungry for more than two days.
After waiting two days, he started eating canned food.
People in the apocalypse, those who can survive until now, all have a necessary skill.
That is to resist hunger, and I have learned one thing from being on the verge of starving to death countless times: use the least amount of food to survive for the longest time.
Almost all of them know how to accurately distribute food.
These skills are not learned through deliberate practice, but are acquired automatically and passively.
No one knows when they will find food, so whenever they get food, they divide it into several portions.
One of them is the critical point of death, the last chance.
Eating this portion of food means that if they don't find something new before the food is digested, they will starve to death.
It can last up to seven days.
In fact, it was up to five days, because in the last two days without eating, I was basically unable to move.
Qu Liyi sat on the damp ground and closed his eyes.
Hearing the footsteps of zombies coming from outside from time to time, he could not sleep.
But no matter what, what Sister Zhao said is actually right. At least they are still alive until now.
The zombies outside the house are all heading in the direction of the Northern Federation.
Uncle San asked Ant and Jackal to hide four potions, including two type III zombie attracting potions, which were extremely powerful.
The third uncle probably never thought that the potion put in this time would be more effective than he imagined in the foggy weather.
