Banxia walked along the coast of Xuanwu Bay, stuffing the delicious food into the bag when she found it. The intertidal zone on the bank slope was often filled with oysters, rainbows and barnacles. There were too many to eat, and there were also oysters everywhere.

Sea cockroaches scatter when they see someone approaching, and seagulls hover in the sky. Occasionally they come down and follow Banxia, ​​picking up things she doesn't want to eat.

Living alone in this empty world, what is the most important thing?

Food is the most important thing.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to preserve food for a long time in summer. There is no working refrigerator in Pinellia ternata, and there is not enough electricity, so most food can only be smoked or pickled, with salt or sugar.

The small fish caught are packed back and used to make fish sauce.

Using discarded mosquito nets as ground cages can net a large number of small fish and shrimps, most of which are no longer than fingers. Banxia adds a large amount of salt to small fish and shrimps that cannot be cooked alone, and then seals them in plastic barrels for fermentation.

The carcasses of fish and shrimp decompose in an oxygen-free environment, and finally a brown liquid is released, which is fish sauce.

The teacher said that it was the corpse water of fish and shrimp.

The zombie water tastes salty and fresh, and can be used as a substitute for soy sauce.

In this world, smart people will always have enough to eat.

On the shoals near the shore, Banxia can often catch flounder. The bait is the lugworms she caught. The fishing gear is hidden in a sheltered place on the beach and can be used at will. Anyway, no one else except her.

A second person will come here. If Pinellia doesn't come to pick it up, the fishing rod will last for tens of millions of years before the carbon fiber and plastic are naturally decomposed.

In an empty world, if animals are not disturbed, only time can erase the traces of Pinellia ternata. Sometimes Pinellia ternata leaves a plastic bottle filled with water in the middle of the road. Looking back a month later, that plastic bottle

The bottle was still standing there.

Looking back two months later, it's still there.

Five months later, it's still there.

So lonely.

It would be nice if it moved just a centimeter.

The sun was setting in the west, the black moon had already appeared on the horizon, and the white moon had not yet appeared. It was time to go back in Banxia. She estimated the time accurately. It would get dark in about an hour, and she just arrived home before it got dark.

.

The teacher's doomsday survival rules, article 4, when the double moon rises, you must not go out!

The world is beautiful during the day, but dangerous at night.

I don’t know how many times the teacher told me not to go out at night. From seven o’clock in the evening to six o’clock the next morning, the only thing Banxia could do was to stay in her fortress, close the curtains, and sleep with her eyes closed.

Building No. 11, Zhongqinyuan, Meihua Villa, looks like an old community building, but it has actually been transformed into a safe fortress by the teacher. She used a high-voltage power grid to surround the unit building.

"My heart is about to fly, but it's hard to keep it. I don't have to chase it. My dream is about to be shattered. Just let me sleep a little more..." The girl hummed a song and rode her bicycle, passing through the city wall under the orange-red sunset. "The mountains and rivers are vast, the world is

At the end of the day, the colorful clouds will return, and running around in this life is very tiring."

"We have to learn to face it at a young age. Some things make us feel ashamed when we think about them."

The bicycle frame creaked rhythmically, like the accompaniment of singing. Banxia raised the volume and sang happily.

"You should learn to be fearless at a young age——!"

She has always been a very happy person.

When Ban Xia pushed her bicycle into the main entrance of the community, the silver jade plate had just half of its face revealed from the dark buildings in the distance, and the white moon had just risen. The time was just right.

She returned home with a full load today. On the way back, she picked a large handful of kale. This stuff is everywhere in the streets of Nanjing and can be eaten.

She parked her bicycle in the canopy of the community, then carried the heavy bag across the power grid and entered the unit building.

"I come back--"

Banxia suddenly stopped talking and looked back warily, seeing the dark shadows of the buildings in the community under the moonlight.

At that moment, the girl's scalp suddenly became numb, and something was staring at her. The gaze was like a python before preying. It was cold, bloody and dangerous. The feeling made her goosebumps crawl all the way from her feet to the top of her head. Banxia Station

Staying still in place, quietly holding the pistol in the holster with one hand, and then staring at the residential buildings and grass opposite. In the darkness where the moonlight cannot shine, something is ready to move.

what is that?

The girl held her breath and concentrated on listening to the sound.

She slowly pulled the pistol out of its holster and opened the safety.

She didn't know where the other person was, but Banxia was sure that thing was staring at her and never moved her eyes away. This was an intuition she had developed over many years. She was extremely sensitive to the eyes behind her, especially the eyes of predators.

.

Time passed by, Banxia's limbs gradually tightened, and she quickly planned the corresponding measures in her mind. Although she was separated by the power grid, the power grid would not be energized until she returned to the house, so the power grid could not work at this moment.

In order to protect her, she did not hesitate to use bullets when her life was threatened. Just when the girl was considering whether to fire a shot at the other side to scare the thing, the sight covering her body quietly moved away.

Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her clothes, only to find that she was covered in cold sweat in just two minutes.

She carried the bag upstairs, poured all the fish she caught into a large plastic basin, cleaned it with scissors, and poured in a large amount of salt to marinate it.

After doing all this, it will be nine o'clock in the evening.

Banxia, ​​who smelled of fish and sweat, had to take a shower first. After spending the afternoon blowing in the wind at the beach, her whole body was sticky. She threw all the dirty clothes on the sofa and got in.

Going into the bathroom to rinse, the shower has long been out of use. It is a great torture for girls not to be able to take a bath comfortably, so she and her teacher also tried hard to install a water tank and water pump on the roof, but in the end they couldn't.

become.

Nowadays, if you want to use hot water for Pinellia ternata, you can only boil it now, using a honeycomb briquette stove. After boiling, pour it into a thermos.

After a quick shower, the girl put on her clothes, wiped her wet hair and sat in the room. She hurriedly finished these trivial matters, not even having time to eat dinner, because she wanted to contact the person from last night as soon as possible.

"Mom and Dad, wait for my good news!"

I briefly hugged my parents - they still felt so hard to the touch.

The black ICOM725 radio station is placed on the table. This thing is very old. It is older than me, even older than the teacher. I don’t know how long it can last. When I move the radio station, I can hear it.

There was a clanging sound of metal inside, possibly some parts had fallen off.

But Banxia didn't dare to dismantle it. She didn't know how to repair it, and she was afraid that it wouldn't be repairable if she disassembled it.

The girl hugged her knees and sat on the chair, with her thick black hair spread out. She stretched out her white hand and pressed the power button with a gentle "click" sound.

When the radio is powered on, the light yellow LCD screen lights up.

Press the SSB key again to enter single sideband mode.

Press the TUNER button to turn on the tuner.

Banxia worked step by step methodically, she wanted to restore everything to the state it was in last night.

Put on the headphones again and plug in the microphone.

My hands were shaking a bit, and I tried plugging the microphone in several times but couldn't get it in.

The further we got here, the more nervous Banxia felt.

She may contact other survivors in this world again, or she may miss them. As the only two fish in the sea, if she misses it, she will never have the opportunity to see them again in this life.

"Teacher bless you."

Banxia put on the headphones and held the microphone.

There was a buzzing electrical noise coming from the headphones.

"This is No. 66, Alfalfa Street, Qinhuai District, Nanjing City. I am Pinellia ternata. Can anyone hear me? Please answer if you hear me."

Just call and wait five minutes.

Call and wait five minutes.

Call again and wait another five minutes.

"This is No. 66, Alfalfa Street, Qinhuai District, Nanjing City. I am Pinellia ternata. Can anyone hear me? If you hear me, please answer... Is there anyone? Please answer."

I don’t know how long this has been repeated, Banxia doesn’t remember how many times she called, maybe fifty times, maybe a hundred times, maybe a thousand times, until she heard the voice again in the earphones:

"CQ! CQ! CQ! This is Bravo-Golf-Four-Mike-Xray-Hotel,BG4MXH, calling cq and waiting for a call!"
Chapter completed!
