Chapter 1319 This Damn End of the World (5000 Words)
"Cool!!!"
Under the shower head, Zhu Xiao was naked, letting the hot water pour from head to toe.
He twitched his right hand back and forth, stamping his feet and shouting.
His action was quite similar to the classic action of a certain ST star before the end of the world.
How many days have they been?
He was soaked in the cold rain, and his feet peeled off three layers of skin.
Now his whole body was swollen, and the skin on his palms was wrinkled after taking off his gloves.
For so many days, they who were on duty in the sentry tower could be said to have experienced the most difficult level.
After all, the sentry tower was located at a relatively high position.
Compared with the people who stayed indoors in the trading market or the oil city, they felt the power of the storm much stronger.
After so much cold rain, now I finally took a hot shower.
It's comfortable!
The comfort came from the coccyx, and it was so comfortable that my scalp was numb.
Zhu Xiao picked up the soap, rubbed it on his hair, and rinsed it quickly.
The foam was washed off his head by the hot water.
It's just that his soap was used up very quickly. Only a little bit was left last time, and it was washed away when he washed his hair.
The big camphor tree base is now able to produce soap by itself.
They used the soap produced by the big camphor tree base.
Soap can be used not only for bathing, but also for washing hair.
It has been five years since the end of the world, and any laundry detergent or shampoo has long been lost.
It's good to have a piece of soap.
"Well, Lao Guo, give me your soap, I've run out of mine."
Zhu Xiao waved to Guo Peng across from him.
Guo Peng picked up his soap from the shelf and was about to hand it to Zhu Xiao.
Unexpectedly, the hot water poured on his hand, and his hand slipped.
Swish--
The soap slipped out of his hand and slid on the ground.
It just slid behind Guo Peng.
If he wanted to pick it up, his butt would face Zhu Xiao.
Zhu Xiao looked at the soap, then at Guo Peng.
A chill came from his coccyx.
Guo Peng looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a while and stood there.
Should he pick it up or not?
Fuck!
He didn't want to face Zhu Xiao with his butt.
So he said, "It fell, pick it up yourself!"
If Guo Peng didn't say anything, Zhu Xiao would think it was just an accident.
But from his perspective, Guo Peng threw the soap on the ground and asked him to pick it up.
This makes people think about it carefully.
"Old Guo, don't do it!"
"I treat you as a brother, and you treat me like this?"
Guo Peng understood immediately.
He looked at Zhu Xiao's muscles and shuddered.
"Fuck Zhu Xiao, you're crazy!"
"Is your brain full of shit?"
"I won't wash it!"
Guo Peng cursed and picked up the towel and toothbrush, turned off the hot water, and didn't pick up the soap.
He walked outside.
It was so embarrassing!
Fuck!
Zhu Xiao came to his senses after watching Guo Peng leave.
It's not that he was overthinking, but this fallen soap was too scary.
He looked at the soap on the ground, hesitated for a few seconds, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quickly ran over and picked up the soap.
Wearing short sleeves and slippers, Zhu Xiao returned to the room.
He saw a bottle of Beida Cang wine on the table.
"Fuck? Did Ah Hong bring this?"
Zhu Xiao quickly put down his wash basin and toothbrush, put a towel on his head, and rushed over to pick up the bottle of Beida Cang.
Guo Peng snatched it from him.
"This is the only bottle, don't drop it on the ground!"
He looked at the bottle of wine greedily and said with a smile:
"It was brought by Ah Hong. The minister specifically asked us to give it to us, saying that we had worked hard in the past few days and rewarded us."
He smacked his lips and sighed:
"I haven't drunk for a long time. I heard that when Captain Xiao and his team went to the Wu City military base last time, everyone who went there had a bottle. It was so cool. It was a pity that we didn't go at that time."
Zhu Xiao hadn't drunk for a long time.
As a combatant, drinking is generally never allowed, for fear of delaying things.
Unexpectedly, the minister actually gave them a bottle of wine during this zombie siege.
He really understands them!
After being in the cold rain for so long, it would be great to drink some white wine to warm up the body.
The weather is strange, it's already June, and it's so cold.
The temperature is only a dozen degrees,
because of the rain, their clothes are wet, and the body temperature is even lower.
Zhu Xiao wiped his wet hair and sat down on the bed.
The room was heated, slowly drying his hair.
Zhu Xiao looked at the food on the middle table, two cans of pork, two cans of fruit.
There were also two packs of self-heating military rations rice.
"Open the bottle and take a sip!" Zhu Xiao waved his hand and took out his enamel cup from the table at the head of the bed.
Guo Peng was wearing slippers and sitting cross-legged on the bed.
He opened the bottle, first poured a small half cup for Zhu Xiao, and then poured a full cup for himself.
"Fuck you!" Zhu Xiao saw that there was obviously much less in his cup.
Guo Peng coughed and added some more for him.
"Fuck you?" Zhu Xiao looked at Guo Peng with his nose not nose and eyes not eyes.
Guo Peng was shaking again, like an auntie serving food in the cafeteria.
"Fuck you!!!"
Zhu Xiao grabbed the wine directly.
"Hey, hey, don't spill it."
Zhu Xiao ignored him and filled up his enamel cup.
His two enamel cups were both about the same size. When the two cups were full, the wine bottle was basically empty.
Tsk!
Guo Peng said with some pity: "You..."
Zhu Xiao picked up the enamel cup and glanced at Guo Peng.
"Diaomao, come and take a bite!"
Guo Peng raised the enamel cup, bang!
Touched.
Gudong!
Zhu Xiao took a big sip.
Liquor has a high alcohol content, so if you take a big sip, one or two of it will be gone.
Zhu Xiao shuddered as the strong wine poured down his throat and reached his stomach.
A fire burned in his stomach, as if all the moisture that had entered his body these days was expelled.
call--
Seeing Guo Peng taking a small sip, Zhu Xiao smiled and cursed:
"You have to drink this liquor in large gulps to feel good!"
As he spoke, he picked up the dagger from the table and inserted the sharp blade into the iron can.
Peel off the sealed lid of the can a little at a time.
Using a dagger to cut a can open like this is particularly satisfying.
He stabbed a piece of pork with his dagger, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
The lingering smell of white wine in the mouth, mixed with the taste of pork, has a unique flavor.
This canned pork has been stored for a long time, and the pork inside doesn't taste right.
But now is the end of the world. There is meat to eat and wine to drink, so what kind of tractor is needed?
The two clinked glasses with each other. This was the most comfortable meal they had had in more than ten days.
Even though they were full of food and wine, they didn’t want to clean up.
They have been holding on for the past few days, and their muscles are sore.
At this time, I took a hot bath, ate wine and meat, and lay on a dry and warm bed, feeling slightly tipsy.
Within seconds, they were asleep.
Oil City, near a building next to the Central Building.
There was a queue inside, with more than twenty people standing.
"Dr. Zhen Xing, look at what I'm doing? It's so itchy!" Ansheng sat on a stool, took off his clothes, and exposed the red dots on his neck and under the pigeon's nest.
Zhen Xing adjusted his glasses and looked at the red spots on his face. With just one glance, he could tell it was just eczema.
So he said: "Eczema, mild eczema, no problem, next one."
"ah?"
An Sheng suddenly became unhappy and stayed on the stool.
"I'm so itchy, give me some medicine!"
Zhen Xing said helplessly: "You have mild eczema. You just need to keep it dry and it will heal on its own in a few days."
Ni Kuangkuang next to him also smiled and said:
"Small problem, go back."
"oh."
An Sheng heard the two expert doctors sent from the base say this and had no choice but to leave.
There were three doctors in the room, all experts in the North. They were three of the hundreds of people who had been packed away by Li Yu before.
As early as a few months ago, Ju Tianrui complained to Li Yu that he was poor and had too few talents.
So Li Yu waved his hand and dispatched more than twenty experts in various fields.
Among them are senior medical doctors. These three have made certain achievements in dermatology, internal medicine, and surgery respectively.
These experts from the northern border had caused trouble in the headquarters base before, and someone hid in them and sneaked into the inner city, which made Li Yu furious, and he did not trust these experts.
So I simply sent some experts over.
It covers medicine, construction engineering, and machinery.
"Doctor Ni, I've had a fever for three days. What's wrong with me?" Anzi, who was in Bai Wenyang's group, sat on the stool with a pale face.
Ni Kuangkuang asked: "Besides fever, what other symptoms are there?"
Anzi thought for a while and said:
"I can't eat, feel tired, my joints and muscles are sore, and I have a headache."
Ni Kuang asked him to open his mouth, took a look at the tongue coating, and took his temperature.
40 degree!
Then he asked: "Do you have symptoms such as cough, sputum, and chest pain?"
Anzi nodded quickly and said: 'Yes, yes, there will be. Will cough up phlegm! ’
Ni Kuang had a rough idea and answered:
"Your fever is caused by bacterial infection. You should have some lung infection now. The inflammation will be eliminated first, and then the fever will be cured. I will prescribe you some anti-inflammatory medicine.
Cefixime granules have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can relieve heat and analgesia. "
As he spoke, he took out these two medicines from the medicine box at the back.
I was only given two pills of ibuprofen and five packets of cefixime granules.
The combatants behind registered Yasuko's name and deducted 48 points from him.
They need to complete two tasks to get these points.
Converted into grain exchange, it can be deducted from thirty kilograms of grain.
Seeing the points being deducted, Anzi felt a little heartbroken.
I used a lot of the points I finally accumulated this time.
"It's so expensive."
Anzi picked up the medicine Ni Kuangda gave him, stood up and was about to leave.
Ni Kuangkuang quickly told him: "Stay in bed more often. Your fever is already over 40 degrees. If the fever continues, you will have brain problems."
"OK, thanks."
Anzi put the medicine in a plastic bag and rushed into the rain.
Anzi is a non-staff member of the Da Zhangshu Base and has accumulated quite a lot of points, but he still feels a little heartbroken to use them. After all, he has accumulated the points bit by bit.
There are many people in this room who are a little uncomfortable.
Recently, there have been strong winds and heavy rains, and the temperature has plummeted, causing many people to become sick.
However, medicines are also classified as key controlled items in the base.
The quantity is limited and cannot be distributed for free.
And there is a purchase limit for everyone.
In addition to inner-city personnel, outer-city, non-staff personnel, and cooperative personnel all need to spend a certain amount of points to redeem them.
There are not many people in the inner city, and relatively speaking, their living environment is more favorable, their probability of getting sick is lower, and they can receive free treatment.
The other three levels cost points.
Luo Gui watched Lao Xie in front of him take the medicine and leave directly, his chicken was red with envy.
Is this the welfare of people in the inner city?
Seeing a doctor does not cost any points.
Damn, I’m so envious.
Most of these medicines were obtained from previous transactions with Mr. Hu when they exchanged oil.
There is also a small part that was transported back by Xiao Jun and others from the Wu City military base.
The reserves are quite large. When we traded oil with Mr. Hu, we calculated it on a car-by-car basis.
Most of the drugs and medical equipment traded with Hu Ye were shipped back to the headquarters base.
But what's left is enough for their own use.
Trading bazaar.
Inside an inconspicuous house.
"Cough cough cough."
The coughing sounds kept coming.
The scarred woman hugged her daughter tightly.
"Mom, I'm cold."
The woman hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes full of pain.
"Qunqun, mommy hugs you tight, don't be afraid."
"Mom, I'm hot."
"I feel so cold and hot. It feels so uncomfortable."
Hearing her daughter say that, her heart was as sharp as a knife.
His eyes were full of despair and feverish.
Sometimes cold and hot, afraid of wind and cold, but feel hot again.
She didn't know if it was a viral cold, a bacterial cold, or a cold with wind-chill or wind-heat.
She kept wiping the sweat from her daughter's forehead, and her face turned pale.
His little brows furrowed.
Her daughter is the only motivation for her to persist until now, and the only meaning for her to live.
If her daughter died, she might not be able to hold on.
For more than ten days, they ate very little food just to last longer.
But unexpectedly, it was stormy, the wind was howling, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Qunqun fell ill.
The woman looked at the crowd's painful expressions, tears gathering in her eyes.
She had never cried when faced with violence, but now she couldn't hold it any longer.
An old man next to him saw this poor mother and daughter and said:
"I think your daughter's symptoms are probably a viral cold. She needs some antibiotics and she should be fine."
When the scarred woman heard this, she seemed to be grasping at straws.
He quickly asked: "Uncle Li, do you know who has antibiotics?"
The old man said leisurely: "I don't know, but you can ask in this trading market. There are so many people, someone should have it."
He only said half of it. At this time, medicine is even more precious than food!
Even if someone had it, they probably wouldn't trade it for her.
Even if he could change it, it would still be a one-day price. According to what he knew about the mother and daughter these days, he would definitely not be able to change it if he ate just a few pieces of fingernail-sized food every day!
well.
The old man looked at the room and saw that there were three or four people with fever.
He wrapped his clothes tightly, huddled up, and clutched his luggage tightly.
He is getting old and is really going to get sick. Death is probably what awaits him.
Human life is like grass
This time of thunderstorm disaster, the temperature changed too much.
The temperature dropped from 40 degrees Celsius before the thunderstorm to over 10 degrees Celsius, and the storm was so strong that it ruthlessly took away body heat.
Coupled with the humid environment, it is easy to get sick.
In the past five years, those who have been able to carry it to this point are all lucky.
The woman looked at her daughter in her arms and hesitated for a long time.
Finally made a decision.
"Uncle Li, can you help me take care of my daughter?"
The old man glanced at her, hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "You want to find medicine?"
"Yes." The woman nodded firmly.
"I must find the medicine."
The old man wanted to refuse, after all, he couldn't protect himself.
He has seen too much life and death in the past few years, which has made him a little numb.
Reason told him not to help.
But when he saw the woman calling her daughter's name just now, he broke his guard.
Because, his granddaughter is also called Qunqun.
Unfortunately, his daughter and granddaughter both died in the apocalypse.
Seeing them mother and daughter reminded him of his own daughter and granddaughter.
"Okay, go ahead. As long as the old man doesn't die, I will look after your daughter for you." The old man said calmly, with a rare kindness in his tone.
When the woman heard what the old man said, she burst into tears.
Along the way, she never dared to trust anyone.
She didn't dare to let anyone help her, but here, such a gray-haired old man told her that he would protect her daughter until he died.
She knew very well that under the restrictions of the regulations in this trading market, there was no benefit at all for the old man to protect his daughter.
If she was outside, she might be worried that the old man would eat her daughter while she was away.
But in these natural disaster trading markets, she knew that this old man would not dare to do this.
"Thank you!" The woman kowtowed heavily to the old man.
Perhaps only the weak can empathize and sympathize with the weak.
The old man sighed again and said:
"Go, I wish you good luck and come back early."
The woman put her daughter in her arms next to the old man and told her daughter:
"Qun Qun, follow Grandpa Li for a while, Mom will be back soon."
Qun Qun suddenly grabbed the woman's sleeve.
A pair of big eyes, flowing with big tears.
"Mom, don't go to Tingfeng Tower, I don't want you to go."
"Mom, you said that people should live with backbone, I don't want you to ask others."
"Mom, I'm not afraid of death!"
Big eyes, crystal clear, with childish stubbornness!
People feel distressed after seeing it.
She is only eight years old, naive and mature.
She knows where Tingfeng Tower is.
She uses her body to exchange for food, she knows how much food they have.
I just heard from Grandpa Li that it must take a lot of food to exchange for medicine, and they don't have it.
They can only exchange with their bodies!
Having experienced the end of the world early, she had long understood the cruelty of the end of the world.
Hearing the little girl say this,
Old Man Li felt a little itchy in his throat.
His chest seemed to be blocked, and then someone stabbed him in the heart with a knife, and it was painful.
He turned his head slightly and wiped the corner of his eyes.
He cursed: This damn end of the world!
