It rained lightly yesterday, and the temperature dropped sharply today.
Fortunately, the inn has prepared clothing for everyone to keep out the cold. Otherwise, everyone in the inn might really freeze to death at the end of September when the cold wave arrives early.
Due to the light rain yesterday, the temperature dropped overnight, causing thick layers of frost to condense everywhere outside.
Under the vast white scene, it really looks like an ice and snow world in a fairy tale world.
In a small two-story building in a small town on the outskirts of city z, Zhang Zhe, wearing a military coat and a red scarf around his neck, was sitting on the floor with his back against the second-story window.
He looked at the gray-haired mouse he had just caught in the next room in front of him, with an affectionate look on his face and a soft tone.
"I really envy you, you can live such a free and easy life. You don't have to be like me, even in this end of the world, you have to suffer the hardships of this life. It would be great if I could be as free and easy as you."
"The lonely shadow on the cold river, old friends in the rivers and lakes, why should we meet before? Yesterday's light rain has ended, and today it's frozen outside. The weather has suddenly turned cold. From now on, you have to take care of yourself?"
"We are destined to meet again. I wish you a bright future. Good brother, you will have to rely on yourself from now on. You must be more chic!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhe threw the big gray-haired mouse in his hand out of the window behind him.
Wearing a military coat and holding a rifle, he squatted in front of another window and was responsible for providing warning to Moxi, Big Man and others who were carrying various pipes to the carriage in a shop selling plumbing pipes on the opposite street.
Xiaofu.
After Zhang Zhe threw the mouse out of the window, he immediately turned to look at Zhang Zhe, who was sitting not far away, and said with a cute look on his face.
"Brother Zha, your good brother who you just let go will never have a chance to be cool again."
"It just fell on the road downstairs, and you threw it to death!"
After hearing Xiaofu's words, Zhang Zhe just sat on the floor and showed a faint bitter smile.
"The world is full of ups and downs, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky!"
"Brother, have a good trip!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhe immediately stood up from the floor, smiled and asked Xiao Fu who was squatting in front of the window.
"Xiao Fu, how is your work, Sister Xi's, and the others going?"
Xiao Fu, who was on guard, glanced out the window at the various pipes installed by Mo Xi and others on the carriage opposite, and then said calmly to Zhang Zhe, who had just lit a cigarette behind her.
"It should be almost done. Just now, Uncle Li, Xiao Wu, Xiao Yi and the others have gone back with three heating stoves."
"Now the cars of Big Man and Sister Xi are equipped with heating pipes and radiators connected to the heating furnace."
"It seems that it should be enough for our inn to provide collective heating."
After hearing Xiaofu's reply, Zhang Zhe slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. As he walked out of the room, he said with a smile to Xiaofu who was on guard behind him.
"Well, very good. Xiaofu, please perform your security duties well."
"If you discover anything, just shoot. When Sister Xi and the others go back, remember to call me."
"I'm going to take a look around this room to see if I can still find a few of my cool brothers. It's getting cold, and I'm very worried..."
Before Zhang Zhe, who had already reached the door of the room, finished speaking, Xiaofu, who was squatting in front of the window on guard duty, immediately turned to look at Zhang Zhe, wrinkled her nose, puffed up her face, and complained with great dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Brother Zha, can you do something serious?"
"Did you propose the plan to implement collective heating in the post station during the meeting last night? When we came here to look for heating equipment, did you also propose to help everyone with the security mission?"
"I thought that you brought me here to guard everyone with you because you wanted to tell me a story along the way? It turned out to be a good thing. It was just me who performed the guarding task for you. You just caught the mice and played with them.
"
"I know, you're just playing tricks on me. I don't know, I thought you were possessed by evil spirits!"
Zhang Zhe, who heard Xiaofu's complaints, immediately stopped in front of the door.
He turned to look at Xiao Fu, who was staring at him with a very dissatisfied expression, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Fu, do you think I am really throwing the mouse away? In fact, I am letting my brain get the relaxation it deserves."
"As a qualified leader, you must always keep your brain functioning flexibly and soberly. So when it's time to relax your brain, you must let your brain get the relaxation it deserves."
"Tell yourself, is the collective heating plan I proposed last night good for everyone in our station? My responsibility is to help everyone in our station live better in this apocalypse."
"As the saying goes, different responsibilities lead to different division of labor. If you..."
Before Zhang Zhe could finish speaking, Xiaofu, who had been fooled by Zhang Zhe, glanced at the situation outside the window, puffed up her face and said angrily.
"I don't have as many twists and turns as you, so you will fool me."
"You only care about playing by yourself and don't know how to accompany me at all. Since you asked me to accompany you to be on guard, can't you just stay by my side and accompany me for a while?"
As soon as Xiao Fu finished speaking, Mo Xi's voice came from the walkie-talkie that Zhang Zhe had put in his pocket.
"Hey, we have installed all the heating pipes and radiators we need."
"We are ready to go back. You and Xiaofu should hurry downstairs and follow us back!"
Zhang Zhe took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket. After walking to Xiao Fu, he reached out and touched Xiao Fu's little head.
Looking out the window in front of the shop selling plumbing pipes on the opposite street, Moxi, who had just got into the carriage with the big guy and others and was about to pull a cart of radiators and other items back to the inn, replied using the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Hey, you go back first. Everyone has worked hard this morning. Xiaofu and I are going to hunt some game for everyone and reward everyone."
"After I get back, I'll ask the big brother to install the heating furnace in the teaching building of the second hospital first. I hope that by this evening, we can have collective heating in the rooms of Grandpa Li, Momo, and Xiaoyi."
"Our hospital will have to wait one night and install the heating stove tomorrow. No matter what, they can't let them use the stove to burn wood for heating tonight. That can easily lead to danger!"
As soon as Zhang Zhe finished speaking, Mo Xi's reply came over the intercom.
"Yeah, I know. That's what I thought too!"
"You and Xiaofu should also pay attention to safety when hunting. When I came here, I saw a lot of deer in the nearby woods. After you kill a deer, go back to the inn early."
After giving a simple reply to Mo Xi through the intercom, Zhang Zhe said with a smile to Xiao Fu who had just stood up next to him.
"Okay, you little girl, don't be angry anymore."
"I will stay with you well now. Let's go and hunt a deer for everyone to have as our lunch today."
"Do you think it would be better for us to have stewed venison or roasted venison for lunch?"
Xiaofu, who looked happy when she heard that Zhang Zhe was taking her hunting, put her rifle on her shoulder, opened her hands and hooked her around Zhang Zhe's neck, looked at Zhang Zhe and said with a smile.
"Let's eat roast venison!"
"The barbecue you made is delicious. I want to eat the roast venison you made!"
As the warm sunshine shines, the frost on the branches and grass has long disappeared.
Perhaps because of the sudden cold weather, the animals wandering in the wilderness are not as lively and active as before.
A few small deer passed through the grassy field and disappeared into a poplar forest on the side, which was full of withered yellow weeds and fallen leaves.
Zhang Zhe and Xiao Fu jumped off their horses and tied the black horse they were riding outside the woods.
Because Zhang Zhe had heard Zheng Yiran talk about that night, those giant mutated mantises that often hide in the woods are very afraid of the cold. As winter comes, those guys will freeze to death in the cold.
The sudden arrival of winter should have frozen all those annoying bugs to death, right?
I have put on a military coat today. I think there shouldn't be any mutated giant mantises in the forest in front of me. Is it lucky enough to survive?
With this thought in his mind, Zhang Zhe, after tying up his horse, took Xiao Fu, picked up their respective equipment, and walked into the poplar forest in front of them.
Zhang Zhe, holding a shotgun in his hand, was searching for traces of prey in the forest. At the same time, he was telling Xiao Fu, who was holding a rifle beside him, about his recent plans for the inn.
"Xiaofu, we can't touch the batch of food in the station in City K. Yiran told me that night that that batch of food is winter food for the military base in City L."
"If we make any move, we will definitely be subject to strict investigation by the L City base war room. Once we are found, our identities will be exposed. So I decided that we should give up the food."
"After the collective heating plan here is completed, we will go to the black market at the L City base again. Last time I saw solar panels for sale in the black market. Let's go and exchange some for collective power supply at our station."
"Now the few solar panels in our station can only maintain the use of the radio station. If we want to implement collective..."
Xiao Fu on the side didn't care at all about Zhang Zhe's plans. Now, she just wanted to simply enjoy the hunting time that belonged to her and Zhang Zhe.
Xiao Fu, who had a silly expression on her face, turned around and glanced at Zhang Zhe, who was just talking about expressing her thoughts and walking forward with the shotgun in her hand. She then followed Zhang Zhe and said calmly.
said.
"You know, I don't have as many ideas as you do, nor do I have as comprehensive a plan as Sister Xi. With my head, I really can't help you."
"But as long as you speak, I will definitely obey you and do what you want. Maybe I am stupid and won't understand what you want for a while."
"But I believe you, you must..."
Before Xiao Fu, who was following Zhang Zhe, could finish her words, on the ground covered with weeds and fallen leaves at Xiao Fu's feet, a big hand covered with black fluff suddenly stretched out and grabbed Xiao Fu's right leg and ankle.
Xiao Fu, who felt strange for a moment, shouted loudly to Zhang Zhe, who was walking in front, with a look of horror on her face.
"Brother Zha, help..."
Before the frightened Xiao Fu could finish shouting, Xiao Fu was suddenly stretched out by a big hand from under her feet. She grabbed her ankle and pulled her body into the ground beneath her feet.
