Nicholas walked quickly, and soon he came to a white single-family house not far away with a front lawn and a back garden.
Standing in front of the door, Nicholas paused.
It's really bad, the key has been lost a long time ago.
Just when Nicholas was wondering whether to kick the door or hit it, he keenly noticed that the door seemed not to be closed securely, so he pushed the door gently and it opened.
Then, Nicholas took a deep breath and walked into the room.
This house had been completely destroyed by the intruders. After seeing such changes beyond recognition, Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief.
I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown. In fact, I am afraid of things changing and people changing.
Now it's changed beyond recognition, but makes people feel more comfortable.
Nicholas walked to the center of the living room. After being dazed for a while, he turned and looked at a wall.
This is a photo wall, which is covered with framed photos.
Nicholas walked over and slowly browsed through the photos one by one.
After each picture, Nicholas reached out and turned it over to cover it on the wall.
In the end, only the huge family photo in the center was left on the photo wall. Nicholas stretched out his hand and gently wiped the dust on the glass, as if his fingertips had penetrated the glass and touched their faces.
In this photo, there are three generations of the family, a total of 23 people, except Nicholas.
It was Christmas three years ago. At that time, because many things happened, many extremely bad and unpleasant things happened, Nicholas gave up his original job and started freelancing by using his hobbies.
That day, the whole family was preparing to take a group photo after dinner. Nicholas locked himself in the room with a stinky face, saying that he had urgent work to do, so he did not participate.
At that time, Nicholas believed that it would be impossible to reconcile with certain people in this life. Looking at it now, he was indeed right.
Reconciliation is impossible in this life.
After polishing everyone's faces, Nicholas gently turned the picture frame over and covered it on the wall.
Go up to the second floor.
On the second floor, this familiar small room was also messy. Nicholas walked straight to the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of dusty but still clean socks and put them on, and then he changed into another pair of shoes.
Finally feeling more comfortable.
Nicholas' feet are wide, short, thick and large, so it's hard to find suitable shoes.
His feet are wide and short, and he is very explosive. Nicholas has been a running back on the school football team since the 10th grade.
If you just look at Nicholas' appearance, many people will think that he got into the Ivy League based on his sports skills. In fact, everyone guessed wrong. He got into the Ivy League based on his family background.
Being a prominent family brings many benefits, but it also brings many worries.
However, everything is in the past, and Nicholas is now a nobody.
In the work corner of the room, the digital camera was smashed, and the computer monitor was also broken. Nicholas squatted down and checked, and found that the computer host was still intact, so he packed all the equipment except the monitor into a hiking bag.
Up.
When Nicholas returned towards the pickup truck with his hiking bag on his back, Thomas had given up on prying open the door.
It is said that this job is a bit difficult. It takes a certain amount of strength and skill to pry open the door, and Thomas happened to have neither of these two things.
Thomas was sitting on the steps at the door. He saw Nicholas coming back with a computer host on his back, so he asked: "Hey. Why did you get such a thing?"
Nicholas said to Thomas: "This is my own computer."
"Um?"
"It contains several enterprise-class hard drives." Nicholas explained to Thomas, "The hard drive contains a lot of my collection."
"Collection? Are there any movies?" Thomas seemed to understand.
"Movies?" Nicholas laughed and said, "Yes, man, I have a massive collection of movies, and they are all great."
When Thomas heard this, he asked repeatedly: "How great is it?"
"Absolutely great ones." Nicholas gave Thomas a manly smile and said, "There are all kinds of types, from all over the world, even downloaded from the dark web."
The valley is poor
"You should have taken out such a good thing earlier!" Thomas blamed Nicholas.
"Haha, I'm sorry." Nicholas said, "I was too busy when I passed by here last time and didn't have time to pick it up."
After the two returned to the pickup truck, Iger and Joanna had given up searching for supplies. They had driven through several houses in a row and had been rummaged through, and they were impatient.
Egger didn't ask Nicholas what the computer host he was carrying was. He had just conducted his second lunch communication, and now he decided to go back to the gas station to see how things were going there.
When the pickup truck returned to the gas station, the sound of the generator could be heard in the distance.
"Hey, Clyde, how's it going?" Iger just got out of the car and shouted to Clyde.
Clyde shouted to Egg and others: "Everything is running normally."
A logistics team member refueled the fire truck at the top cover of the fire truck's water tank. This big thing can hold 8m3 of fuel, which is 8,000 liters. It takes a long time to fill it up.
Iger unloaded some food and drinks from the pickup truck and sent them over. Then he said to Clyde and the internal staff: "You have a lunch break during the shift, and if necessary, fire a gun."
Since it was almost time to leave, Iger decided to poke a hornet's nest.
There is an old saying that goes well, when you have a hammer in your hand, you want to hit everything you see.
Iger's mentality is like this now. When he has a big firecracker in his hand, he won't let it go to see what happens.
Iger and Joanna got into the pickup truck, Nicholas and Thomas got into the minivan, and the convoy drove out of the gas station and headed towards the city of Pudo.
Only a few hundred meters away from the dark area of infected people, Iger asked Joanna to stop the pickup truck. When Nicholas also parked the truck, Iger climbed into the truck and waved to them, waiting for them to turn over. After arriving at the pickup truck, Iger handed over two opened cans.
"Come, let's have lunch first."
As the saying goes, the emperor never needs hungry soldiers. No matter how urgent the matter is, we should wait until he has eaten.
However, both Nicholas and Thomas were speechless.
Brother, since you need to eat, why didn’t you eat at the gas station just now?
Are you having lunch here to practice courage for us?
While Nicholas and Thomas were holding the cans and neither standing nor sitting, Joanna also fell into the carriage, which was a little crowded.
After Joanna bent down to pick for a long time, she struggled to give up a canned fruit and picked up a canned meat.
"Eat quickly, we have to work later." Iger said to several people. He was sitting on the roof of the pickup truck, with his back to the group of infected people. He seemed not to feel any uneasiness.
"Captain, can we eat a little further away from here?" Nicholas pointed at Egg's back.
Iger turned around and took a look. He said to Nicholas: "Don't worry, it's far away. They won't be able to get here in less than half an hour."
Well, since the captain said so, I can't be too timid.
Nicholas simply sat on the guardrail of the carriage and concentrated on eating his food.
"Why don't you sit down?" Iger asked Thomas.
Thomas hesitated and then said: "I like to eat standing up."
"Okay, it's up to you." Egger said nothing more.
This lunch was very efficient. In less than 3 minutes, both Nicholas and Thomas were finished.
So, Egger began to assign work to them.
Nicholas and Thomas's task was to set up explosives, while Egger and Joanna went to lure the monsters. When the pickup truck returned and honked its horn, the two lit a fuse, which was a small piece of candle, then opened the bait and evacuated immediately. .
This time, Egger felt that the highway could not be destroyed, so he requested that the explosives be placed under the roadbed, preferably at a safe distance from the highway.
After Iger arranged the work tasks, Nicholas and Thomas jumped out of the pickup truck, and then the two of them went to the minivan and began to carry fuel, oil drums and fertilizer.
You see, Iger is still very considerate of his subordinates. He knows that they have to do physical work, so he lets them eat well first.
After there were only two people left in the carriage, it suddenly became much more spacious.
After Joanna selected the cans, she turned around and gestured to Iger. Iger moved to the side, so Joanna also climbed on the roof of the pickup truck and sat side by side with Iger, kicking her feet and digging into hers. can.
Sunshine, breeze, a mechanical pickup truck, two boys and girls sitting side by side eating snacks. If it weren't for the infected people behind them, it would be an extremely beautiful scene.
