Lin Tao silently looked at the buildings in the yard. The yard was not big at all, covering an area of only one or two acres at most. However, on the way here, I heard two girls say that this place was originally a small food processing factory, and there was a small
A small basement, so a small factory that not only provides food but also can avoid living corpses, has naturally become the first choice for survivors to take refuge, and it can ensure that they live safely to this day.
"Do you usually live in the basement?" Lin Tao asked Lao Ma who was leading the way. Although there are two factories and a dormitory building in the yard, judging from the broken glass windows, it doesn't look like there are anything inside.
How humans live.
"Yes!" Lao Ma nodded, dragged the rusty iron spear and turned to Lin Tao and said: "No one dares to live on the ground. After all, the smell of hundreds of people gathered together is too great, and women
We have to come to that thing once a month, and except for going out to look for food and taking a daily one-hour break, everyone basically stays down there and doesn’t dare to come out!”
"What? There's not enough food here anymore?" Lin Tao asked with a frown.
"I've never had enough!" Lao Ma shook his head in distress. He probably saw that the stranger had become a bit talkative, so he said naggingly: "It happens to be summer when this damn day comes, so
No one knows how to store large amounts of food, and this factory is the same damn thing. Fortunately, there is a batch of processed pickled pepper and chicken feet that has not been shipped out, but it will be reimbursed to us in less than half a year. Alas~ At first everyone thought it would be
The government came to rescue them, but they didn’t have any restraints on eating or drinking. Who knew that this would last for more than a year, and even the rescuers would probably be dead!”
As the two asked and answered questions, four people and one dog soon arrived at a factory in the north. The cement floor of the factory was relatively clean, but there was no mechanical equipment, only a few rusty black iron cages.
Placed in the corner, there is a faint smell of blood.
Lao Ma took the lead and walked in and lifted up an iron cover on the ground, revealing a not too deep cement staircase. It seemed that this was the entrance to the basement.
Lin Tao looked around, then bent down and followed Lao Ma down the stairs. Immediately, a strong musty smell mixed with the unique human body odor hit his face. Lin Tao frowned deeply, and Michael followed behind.
After sneezing several times, the ugly dog's face showed a look of disgust. Perhaps even it felt that even corpse odor smelled much better than this.
"Brother Lin, please take a look around first, I'll go inside and inform our boss!"
After saying that, the old horse ran forward. There was a room separated by red bricks and cement at the end. Dim light came from the window, and you could clearly see several figures shaking inside.
, some unscrupulous chatter and laughter and women’s charming laughter also came from inside.
Lin Tao frowned and looked at the environment in the basement. You can imagine what a hellish scene it would be for more than three hundred adults to squeeze into this basement of only five or six hundred square meters. The area here is indeed large for a basement.
It's not too small, but there are too many people inside. It's almost filled with colorful bedding, and most of them just hold one or two pieces of cloth to cover them randomly. There are quite a few air vents on the ceiling.
A few beams of light shone down from below, giving the dark basement some light and some fresh air.
Looking along the dim light, there are some small braziers hanging in several places. They are definitely not used for heating on hot days. They are just used to light up some boring men who gather to play poker, and most of those men's bets are some white rice.
Soybeans and other gadgets, the biggest bet is probably a pack of instant noodles, but even if they are engaging in men's favorite gambling sport, they don't look energetic at all, looking at their hands absent-mindedly.
of cards!
As for the women who make up more than half of the women here, most of them are leaning against the corner with numb expressions. They are no longer as noisy as women should be in normal times, their eyes are empty and lifeless, their clothes are in tatters, and many even have no clothes at all.
They were just lying on the ground with their clothes on. If their chests were not still rising and falling slightly, Lin Tao would have almost regarded them as dead people.
There was no decent place to stay in the entire basement. Lin Tao reluctantly stayed in this small space, looking around with dull eyes. But just like this, he stood here as a stranger, and he didn't know much about it from beginning to end.
The person raised his head and looked at him.
Lao Ma soon led several neatly dressed men out of the innermost room. At first glance, he was the leading figure here. First, a middle-aged man in a black shirt strode with a look of evil spirit on his face.
Walk in front of everyone.
This man is about forty years old. A small scar on the corner of his mouth makes him look a bit fierce and ferocious. His shiny back hair is meticulously combed, and under his deliberately open black shirt, there is a dark pistol.
The handle is exposed.
The middle-aged man followed the direction of the old horse's finger and began to look at Lin Tao who was looking around from a distance. When he saw Lin Tao turning to look at him, the middle-aged man suddenly burst out laughing and said loudly and exaggeratedly:
"Brother Lin is here, and I, Hu, am sorry to hear you come from afar!"
When Lin Tao was wondering how these people could walk so fast without stepping on the legs of people scattered on the ground, he saw the middle-aged man coming up to shake his hand with a face that looked familiar to him. Lin Tao looked at the dark
The big hands that had not been washed for a long time obviously had no intention of shaking them. He just nodded to the man and said: "Hello, just call me Lin Tao!"
"Ah... Hahaha..." The man put his hand back into his pocket without any embarrassment, deliberately lifted his shirt to make the black pistol more conspicuous, and then smiled and said to Lin Tao: "My surname is
Hu, thanks to the brothers here, please call me Boss Hu, you can be regarded as their eldest brother! Come on, Brother Lin, come and sit in the room with your brother. We haven’t seen outsiders for a long time. We two brothers can get together today.
Stay close and close!"
Lin Tao always had a faint smile on his face, and he followed Boss Hu inside without being arrogant or humble. The few people following him looked at Lin Tao with curious faces and walked beside Lin Tao silently, but there was a vague feeling.
