Deguna drove very slowly because there were a lot of cars on the road, and it would be troublesome if they hit each other too fast.
Although Deguna was a little surprised by what Jean just said, she actually felt the same way. It seemed that the muscles and skin of her body had begun to become younger, and her energy had become much better. Some of the spots on her face had recently disappeared.
Starting to fall.
Gene beside him had fallen asleep. Deguna yawned and continued to drive the car seriously. Suddenly she stopped, and both Gene and Werther woke up.
There was a truck in front of them, lying in the middle of the road. At this moment, the three of them were a little desperate. The three of them got out of the car immediately. There were some building materials in the compartment of the truck. No key was found. It was an old truck, and they didn't have it.
Any tool can dismantle the truck's ignition.
"There must be food over there."
Just when Gu Yi and Tang Rao were a little helpless, Jean said, and they immediately thought that the truck must have been parked for a long time based on the traces. It should be more than 20 kilometers away from the village, and they could only walk.
It's past.
After Deguna reversed and turned, she parked the car. The three of them got their own water and squeezed past the mountain wall. Although they didn't know why the truck was lying across the road, it was certain that it was
In order to prevent some people from going to mountain villages along this road.
Sure enough, after passing by, the three people saw a car that had been blasted behind the truck, as well as several bodies, including some shell casings scattered on the ground. There were also several cars behind the truck, all of which had been shot to varying degrees. The three people
They immediately searched and found that several cars still had gasoline in them. It looked like they were lucky.
It was almost impossible to see the village in the distance, so the three of them could only walk along the road, climbing uphill and downhill, which was a huge drain on the three people's physical strength.
The road in front of me was almost endless, and even if I walked, I still couldn't see the end. The three of them had been walking for almost an hour, and Werther finally couldn't help but sit on the ground.
"Rest for a while before leaving. Get up quickly and try not to sit down."
Deguna said, and Witte naturally knew that if you sit down like this if you are too tired, you will easily become more tired. He got up with difficulty, and the three of them rested for a while and continued walking.
There was almost no conversation at all, and the three of them walked with their heads down. If they were in good spirits, this kind of road would not be a problem for the three of them.
Finally, the village could be seen on the hillside in the distance. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the three of them couldn't help but sit down. This long slope looked like it was at least seven or eight hundred meters long.
Jean was panting heavily. He felt that his heart rate was a little too high and he had to calm down. Performing such strenuous exercise in a weak body could easily lead to sudden death.
Half an hour later, the three finally stood up again. The long ramp looked only a short distance away, but after walking for a while, the three stopped again.
Deguna threw away the gun. She could no longer walk. Jean moved forward step by step. The two of them rested temporarily. Their bodies seemed to be split apart. The hunger during this period destroyed their health.
If they can't find food, they will definitely die.
More than ten minutes later, Jean climbed into the village. The place was also in a mess, but it looked promising. Jean entered the village first. The doors of many houses had been forcibly opened. Jean was a little disappointed after entering.
No food.
After a while, Deguna and Werther also came up. There was sweat on their foreheads, and they had almost finished drinking the water they brought. The temperature was very low, and the three of them began to search quickly.
"It's saved."
Jean shouted. In a house next to a courtyard in the village, Jean saw piles of dried corn. Werther and Deguna both came over. The three of them looked at the pile of corn.
My heart was extremely excited at this moment.
There is no door or wall directly opposite the corn area. It looks like a pig-raising place on the left, but the pen is empty. The corn has been dried in the sun, not moldy, but very hard.
"Make something to eat first."
Soon the three of them found a pot from a family's house. Werther built a stove with some scattered bricks and found water from a well in the village. Soon the three of them were excited under the fire, and the water boiled.
After opening, dried corn was put in.
But they couldn't take all the corn with them, and because of the big truck, the car couldn't get here smoothly. But now they were saved. They planned to cook the corn, eat and rest for a while, then return and give it to them.
Everyone brings food over.
"Your guess is correct."
Deguna laughed, the corn in the pot was still turning, and an aroma wafted out. This was the aroma of food that the three of them had not smelled for a long time.
Deguna couldn't help but take one directly, but Werther stopped her.
"Don't eat it yet. We are weak now. We must boil the corn thoroughly before eating it, otherwise we will definitely get intestinal diseases."
Werther got up and looked around again, and sure enough he found a steamer. When the corn was cooked to a certain level, he would have to use a steamer. After all, the temperature of the water was too low and it would be too slow.
Weite found some more salt and sugar, and added them carefully. After a while, the corn was placed in the upper steamer, and a piece of gauze was placed underneath. Soon the corn was put in.
After more than an hour, the corn was completely cooked, and the three of them had their first hot meal in more than a month.
2 a.m.
Ai Li woke up from hunger. Tang Rao was sleeping soundly next to her. She stood up carefully, got some water and drank it. Her stomach growled.
She was a little worried now. Gene and the others were also very tired. It would be troublesome if they couldn't find food when they went out, or if they encountered any problems on the way, Ellie didn't dare to think about it further.
In the recent period, Ellie's body has actually recovered very well. She vaguely feels that her body is different from the past, and so does everyone else, and Ellie always feels that there seems to be something in her body, some kind of perception.
, more like a voice, talking to her, but Ellie couldn't hear or hear it clearly.
At first Ellie thought it was a hallucination, but now that Ellie knew it was not, Ellie began to become anxious because she was worried about Gene and the others. Although Gene said it was fine, Ellie knew very well that Gene would be in trouble all the way.
Distribute food and water to others as much as possible, and also give it to yourself.
"What's wrong Ellie, what time is it?"
Tang Rao got up from the bed, Rose also woke up at this time, and the three of them were hungry.
"I'm worried about them."
"If you're lucky, no problem. If you're not lucky, we can only do what Li Chu said."
Tang Rao held down Rose's head.
"Don't say such depressing words."
Rose smiled awkwardly and looked at Ellie's worried look.
"Sorry Ellie, I was joking."
The three of them lived in the bedroom on the second floor of the small building, while Gu Yi and Li Chu lived below. At this time, they also woke up because of the conversation and noise between the three of them.
Five people gathered in the living room, and the light connected to the chemical battery made by Gu Yi turned on.
It was already 2:40, but the three people who went out had not returned yet. Li Chu stood at the door and looked outside the town. If he saw a light, it meant they were back.
Just when the five of them were at a loss what to do, a light came from the distance, and Li Chu shouted in surprise.
"They're back."
The five people left the house and went directly to the entrance of the town. After a while, the car drove slowly over. After seeing two small sacks in the car, Li Chu realized that he had found food.
"Eat quickly."
A pot of warm polenta made the five of them appetite immediately.
"Eat slowly. If you eat too fast, it will damage your body. Try to exercise restraint."
Witte reminded, and the five of them found bowls and spoons from some rooms and began to eat. They had not eaten hot food for more than a month.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the eight of them were drinking hot tea and waiting for dawn.
"Let's recuperate for a few days first. When we have strength, we can go to the mountains to find some medicinal materials. After all, our bodies are very weak."
Werther said, and everyone laughed happily. Deguna looked at everyone with a serious expression, explaining that the corn there was enough for them to eat for a month or two, but the key was where to go next.
"I still think we should go directly to AS, because the distance is not too far from here. We just need to be well prepared."
Werther still felt that he should go to the United States.
Li Chu thought that they could just walk along the road and use it as a shelter if they could find a suitable place. After all, they had relied on their professional knowledge to survive crisis after crisis.
The current situation is to find a place that can become a base for at least the next few years, otherwise they will have no future at all.
"It's better to go to the highest place, 5,000 meters above sea level. The energy loss of the sun's rays will be much less."
Jean said, and everyone began to think about it. It was indeed a good idea, but it was really difficult to get over it, and they didn't know what they would encounter along the way.
"I hope everyone can think carefully. Once we make a choice this time, there will be no turning back. No matter what we encounter on the road, we must move forward."
Gu Yi said something. Rose looked at the seven people. She actually didn't have any opinions. She was the youngest among the group of people. Anyway, she would follow them wherever they went.
When the sky was getting slightly brighter, everyone returned to the house, planning to rest until noon, eat something, and start exercising. As long as they could eat enough along the way, they must exercise.
1pm
