Although I only stayed at home for another few hours, during this trip, my uncle, my uncle, my younger cousin, and my aunt’s son-in-law who were traveling with me all had new equipment.
The new equipment was five sets of bamboo armor that Bai Youyou and his team had to dismantle Zhou's mahjong mat, and five large swords that were sharpened from thin stainless steel spoons.
At present, these armors only have two parts: breastplate and skirt. The protection of limbs, head, waist and neck and other vital parts is far from enough. However, it is better to pick people up sooner rather than later, and it is not good to wait any longer.
The first destination for the team was Lin Yao's home.
It's not because Lin Yao, who has mechanic skills, is important, but because it's close. The order of rescuing people follows the principle of priority first.
When the car set off, Lin Yao, who was standing on the dashboard, was very excited, but also a little worried.
He frowned tightly, grasped his right fist with his left hand, and rubbed it vigorously.
Perhaps he used too much force and rubbed the back of his right hand with red, congested marks without realizing it.
On the night when the disaster occurred, Lin Yao called his grandfather's cell phone and informed each other that they were safe.
On the second and third days, he called his family several times every day.
Although his grandparents claimed to be safe, Lin Yao could sense that their true condition was getting worse and worse, but he had no choice but to worry.
The morning before yesterday, Lin Yao just woke up and immediately dialed the phone, but what made his hair stand on end was that the call timed out five times in a row, and the other party was not connected.
Lin Yao immediately reported the case to the community and the police station, but of course there has been no response so far.
His anxiety could not be increased, but with his honest and dull character, unwilling to cause trouble to others, he kept these anxieties in his heart.
It was only now, when the lid was about to be lifted, that he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Considering that he might have to face a battle, it was Zhou You's uncle who was driving the car now, so Zhou You was standing next to Lin Yao at this time.
Zhou You patted Lin Yao's shoulder and said nothing more.
Lin Yao turned around and nodded.
…
Maybe fate is really so cruel, the hemp rope is cut at the smallest detail, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.
Lin Yao's life experience is tragic enough, but just like those people in the past who always made viewers shed tears after revealing their life experiences on the Internet, fate had no intention of letting him go, but stabbed him deep in the heart with one knife after another.
, until his heart was riddled with holes and dripping with blood.
Lin Yao's grandparents lived in an old brick and concrete house built on the front street. There was not even a community, just a seven-story building with no elevator, and it was the worst sixth floor.
The combined age of the two old people is almost 150 years old. They worked hard to bring Lin Yao up, but in the end they could not wait for the day of happiness.
After searching hard for more than half an hour, the group was still unable to find the two elderly people in Lin Yao's home. They only found an old mobile phone for the elderly that automatically shut down due to lack of power.
The old man's phone was thrown on the bedside table.
The stainless steel basket originally used to cover the leftovers on the dinner table has fallen to the ground.
There were overturned dishes everywhere in the house, and the vegetable basket was full of potatoes that had been gnawed by rats...
The room was in a mess and miserable.
The only good news is that although the situation looks terrible, no one saw any mice in the room.
Lin Yao was very depressed, but he held on.
Although all signs point to the ominous situation, people can't help but harbor fantasies until the dust settles.
However, fantasy is a bubble after all, and the bubble will eventually burst.
Just when Zhouyou saw that there was nothing he could do and planned to lead the team to retreat first, Luo Xun, who was following him, took advantage of his small size and got into a hole in the corner of the wardrobe in Lin Yao's grandparents' bedroom.
The light under the hole was very poor and the visibility was extremely low. Luo Xun could only bend down and fumble around.
A moment later, she let out a heart-rending scream inside.
After the others hurriedly pulled Luo Xun up, it took a long time for the pale Luo Xun to regain his composure. Then he tremblingly pointed at the hole and said: "People... people... the corner of the wall below...
Inside, there are a bunch of human bones!"
"What!"
Zhou You's heart sank.
Over there, Lin Yao had already rushed over in two and three steps.
Lin Yao hoped in his heart that Luo Xun was mistaken.
But Luo Xun is a nurse by profession, and she works with human skeleton models all day long in school, so she will not make such stupid mistakes.
It's true, it was indeed a pile of human bones.
…
"I am sorry for your loss."
Zhou You patted Lin Yao's shoulder with dull eyes.
It's too late, everything is too late.
The bones that were riddled with holes had dried up and were so badly mutilated that it was impossible to piece together two complete human figures.
As early as two or three days ago, Lin Yao's grandparents had passed away.
He said no more, and any so-called enlightenment seemed pale at this time.
Lin Yao was curled up on the footrest under the passenger seat, completely out of his mind, but he still raised his head habitually and gave Zhou You a twisted smile that was uglier than crying, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
The off-road vehicle continues to set off.
The incomplete skeletons of the two old men were buried on the spot under the shade of a tree under the building.
There was no funeral, let alone beating of gongs and drums, everything seemed rushed.
But even so, being able to leave part of the body in this era and return to dust seems to be a kind of luck.
When Lin Yao turned around to leave, Lin Yao lay down on the ground and banged his head on the soil three times without any sound. He did not cry, but he could not stand up again, so Zhou You helped him up.
His shoulders, which were not strong to begin with, completely collapsed.
On the way to pick up other people's families, the atmosphere in the car became much quieter, with no one talking.
The misfortune of Lin Yao's family suddenly gave rise to a strong sense of urgency and fear in the hearts of these people who had been living a relatively good life for several days, staying at the Guangming Township Police Station and traveling in the car.
Many people have only now truly realized that even if the country has not given up its struggle, it still cannot change the nature of this sudden disaster.
In this disaster, human life is like a piece of grass, and like a clay pot in the strong wind, it is easily rolled to pieces.
This time, it was just like the earthquake that happened back then.
It's just that this disaster is even more terrifying. It's like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, and death follows closely and may come at any time.
Including Luo Xun, many people subconsciously turned to look at the people still standing on the dashboard, looking around the streets with their eyes, as if looking for the victims. They thought to themselves, I am afraid that among all the people sitting here, except for
You have already repelled a white cat's wandering around once. When other people face animals like cats, dogs and mice, they will die without any resistance, right?
Of course they envy Zhou You's over-the-limit status, but if they are asked to unleash their potential like Zhou You did, they really don't have the courage now.
Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Xun hugged his knees with his hands and lowered his head, thinking deeply.
According to the plan, this morning we will mainly pick up other people’s families, and our pharmacy will be the last destination.
The situation at other people's homes is much simpler than that of Lin Yao. They have all been contacted and prepared. It can definitely be solved in one morning.
But my own home...
well.
Why did mom abandon us?
Thinking of this, Luo Xun sighed again, not knowing what to do for a while.
