Chapter 182 It’s so Hard to Live
An extremely noisy, hypnotic soft noise. The danger that can be seen on the surface is zombies. It’s a feast for plants.
An extremely quiet, heart-stopping quiet. There is a great crisis hidden, lack of water, but it is a disaster for plants!
There was a popular saying among old farmers in the countryside: Five days without rain will lead to a small drought, ten days without rain will lead to a severe drought, and a month without rain will cause smoke.
It means: During the dog days of summer, if it doesn’t rain for five days, the land will start to drought; if it doesn’t rain for ten days, the drought will become serious; if it doesn’t rain for a month, it means there will be a drought. .
In this silent, hot, dry weather, there are people walking outside.
Although it is hot, the danger of zombies has been reduced a lot. Taking advantage of this season, many people began to come out to look for some basic supplies.
The hot weather lasted for another 5 days.
It has been 15 days since it rained. Not only has it not rained, but it has also been 15 days of sunshine and no cloudy days.
In a county not far from them.
A small group, this group had been squeezed by the Salvation Army before. The leader was a caterer in the county.
With family and friends, there were only 12 people in total. Originally there were more than 30 people, but later they encountered the Salvation Army and killed several people, so they had to succumb.
Then there was a heavy rain later, which caused some people to starve to death, and some others were bitten to death by zombies.
From more than thirty people, the number of people suddenly decreased to less than one-third of the population.
They endured the heavy rain and resisted the tide of zombies. Even after the heavy rain, they were on tenterhooks, fearing that the Salvation Army would come and rob again to collect protection fees.
What they didn't expect was that after the rainstorm ended, the Salvation Army didn't come. It was hot outside and there were very few zombies. This made them happy for a while.
However, they were not happy for a long time. The continuous hot and high temperature weather gave them a heavy blow!
The hot weather has caused many previously undiscovered foods in the city to rot and become infected with insects.
The hot weather puts them at risk of heatstroke when walking outside in the bright sun.
Today, one person suffered from heatstroke.
She is the daughter of the leader. The leader of this small group is called Tan Guohua. Originally, in this apocalypse, he knew deeply that in this apocalypse, human nature is the most terrifying.
He can be considered mature and experienced. He has been working as a hotel caterer for half his life. He has never seen anything like this, and his methods are extremely ruthless.
When the apocalypse first broke out, he led several of his men who were working together in catering and ran directly to his home to bring his family members together.
Then he survived for a while.
There is no simple person who can survive until now in the apocalypse.
However, in this situation of natural and man-made disasters, even he cannot bear it anymore.
Today, I still go out to look for supplies. The place where I originally lived was discovered by zombies last night, so I have to change my place to live today.
While walking during the day, his daughter Xiaoyu suffered from heat stroke due to the sun's exposure.
They searched many places, but there was no water.
Finally, after running 3 kilometers, we reached the other side of the city, the river in the opposite district, and finally got some water.
But this water is very turbid.
The weather is so hot that even the Gongjiang River is about to dry up.
The water level has dropped to its lowest level. Even in previous years, there have been more than ten days without rain, but the daytime temperature has not reached over 40 degrees every day.
In the past, the hot weather was only 38 degrees Celsius at most, and it only lasted a few days. Sometimes, at the upstream location, the gate will be opened to release water to ensure that the river will not dry up.
But now, this river has begun to dry up.
They barely managed to get some water out of the turbid river. They took this opportunity to get more water, because they didn't know if the river would dry up next time.
"Little fish, little fish. Open your mouth." Tan Guohua used his hand to pull apart his daughter's dry and peeling lips.
Xiao Yu'er fell into a coma, but his forehead was still hot and covered with sweat.
A woman next to him said to him: "Brother Hua, stop holding her and put her down. Hey, the child really suffered."
Tan Guohua's wife escaped the outbreak of the end of the world, but she did not escape the one in the Salvation Army.
Because he had a daughter, he gritted his teeth and endured it. He wanted to live for his daughter.
If it wasn't for his daughter, he would have fought desperately with the Salvation Army long ago.
However, now my daughter has also suffered from heat stroke and is unconscious.
I searched for it in pharmacies in many cities, but the apocalypse has erupted for almost a year, and supplies like medicines have been robbed long ago.
Now there is not even a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
Tan Guohua, looking at his daughter's pale face, he, who had never shed tears, dripped down big tears.
For his family, he would do anything. When the Salvation Army came, he clearly told the Salvation Army all the news about Li Yu.
Because he had no direct contact with Li Yu, he knew very little, and he didn't even know where they lived. When the Salvation Army asked, he could only tell some of what he knew.
However, even so, the Salvation Army still killed his wife, and Tan Guohua didn't believe him until Tan Guohua still didn't say anything after killing five people.
My wife died, my daughter, and now I have heatstroke, I don't know what's going on.
After their team of 12 people filled up the water, they had to rush to a new place and find a new shelter.
Their food can only last two more days.
In fact, they had already reduced their daily food to half of the previous one a week ago.
A person who followed Tan Guohua also brought some family members with him. He was also a middle-aged man. At this time, he saw Tan Guohua holding his daughter there and feeling sad.
Although he understood, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Hua, we have to find a new place to live quickly. And we don't have enough food."
"It's none of my business! Damn it! Don't bother me!" Tan Guohua suddenly became angry, like a furious lion. This time, his daughter had a heatstroke and he couldn't hold on any longer.
When the middle-aged man heard this, a surge of anger also surged up. His relatives also died during the last zombie wave, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, several other people wanted to say something, but they saw that Tan Guohua was completely out of state.
So I walked over and started discussing with the middle-aged man where to move next.
"Brother Sun, something's not right with Brother Hua now. We'd better find a place quickly." The young man who spoke had a worried face on his face.
"Yes, Brother Sun, let's make a decision quickly. Where to go, we have to leave quickly, otherwise if we stay here, there will still be zombies coming out at night. It's dangerous."
Brother Sun was worried and glanced at Brother Hua with some worry on his face. He nodded and said, "Then let's go to the wholesale city across the river. Maybe there are some things there."
I looked at the people around me again. They were all sallow and thin, with hair like thatch. There was no energy at all, and that Brother Hua was holding the dying Xiao Yu'er.
Brother Sun sighed: "It's really hard to live."
