(MTL) Natural Disaster Apocalypse

105-106

Seeing that each of them didn't know whether they were cold or scared, and their expressions were not very good, Qin Huai didn't ask them in detail, and told them to go back to rest and let them go. They were indeed a little tired, so they didn't say much, hurry up Click back to lie down and return to blood.

The next day, Jian Chu, who was relieved, came to look for Mu Nan, and then told what happened yesterday: "I thought the transaction was so smooth, we could go by ourselves next time, but unexpectedly, it turned out that we were waiting outside. As for us, such long steel nails are still sharpened, if they drive up, how could they come back, if Team Yuan hadn't been careful to observe the road conditions, we might have really fallen." Mu Nan was curious

. Asked: "Then how did Team Yuan find out?"

Jian Chu shrugged: "It may be the intuition of the soldiers. It seems that they went to Monkey Mountain not only for trading, but also to notify the people in Monkey Mountain to replace their ID cards. And the vaccine, but I may have noticed something wrong when I was bargaining. Later, I saw that the snow was different from the person who came in from behind, so I didn't reveal my identity. I didn't mention a word about the replacement of the ID card, and then told us , that group of people is not right, they drove very slowly on the way back, probably found clues from the traces in the snow, got out of the car and checked, and there was indeed an ambush." ​​After Jian Chu finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing: "The

last The first contact with us was a boy in his twenties. He was very enthusiastic and cheerful, not like a bad guy. This time, he was a different person. He seemed to be the boy's uncle. I just don't know if it's a black family or what's going on. Anyway, we won't do this kind of thing anymore, it's too scary, who knows what was buried in the thick snow, it's not worth it to go all out for a little meat." Mu Nan was a little scared when he heard it: "Fortunately, there are

soldiers Going with you is really a little bit close, let's forget about such adventures in the future, my life is important."

Jian Chu: "That's not true. Team Yuan said that when they were bargaining, the people on the mountain probably came down and followed the tracks of our wheels to bury the nails. We must have returned the same way when we went back. Now there are many places outside. It must be the safest way to go along the original road for those with small pits. I probably thought of this, so we buried nails in our road, plus yesterday's big snowstorm, and the sky has changed, I want to find out the problem It's even more difficult, so the two people who came in later had more snow on their pants and shoes, tsk, I learned, you must pay attention to such details when you are outside in the future, this is the detail that saves your life." But thinking about

yesterday Jian Chu was a little more happy about the things that were traded: "I'm afraid those people were thinking of making money and killing their lives, so the final price is not high, a few hundred catties of rice for thirty rabbits, this is definitely a profit for us." Ah, I also said that Team Yuan's level of counter-offering is too high. They have kept the price so low. I guess those people are thinking that these things will return to them in the end anyway. Seeing that there are almost ambush outside. I didn't bother to waste time talking about it, so I agreed, I didn't expect us to see them through and come back safely, those people might be jumping right now." Not all the things they

brought were traded out, and the remaining Quite a lot. When I came back, I took back the leftover supplies from each family. Two of the rabbits were alive. The military department took the part they traded for themselves, and the remaining rabbits were exchanged for points. Exchange it to them, but Xu Ming said that he hoped to directly exchange all the points for coal this time. The above did not agree, but only said to apply first and then notify them.

After Jian Chu finished talking about this, she went back. Although she only went out for a day, it was thrilling and exhausted more mentally than physically, so she had to take a good rest.

After Jian Chu left, Mu Nan looked at the two rabbits trapped in the corner of the stove by Qin Huai with a wooden plank, and couldn't help but take out vegetable leaves from the space to feed them: "Brother, are there a male and a female in our house?" "

Qin Huai hummed: "There are a lot of female rabbits in exchange this time, so it's rare to give a female one, and want to raise a baby rabbit?"

Mu Nan turned to look at Qin Huai: "Try?"

Qin Huai said: "Then let's put it here and raise it first. If it can survive, I'll put a room on the second floor with a hot air pipe and try raising it in the upstairs room. If it can't reproduce, you can fatten it up and eat meat. Lost." Now the two wild rabbits are still a little thinner, much thinner than the first time they caught them.

Fearing that Mu Nan would develop real feelings, Qin Huai added: "But don't get your hopes up too much, wild rabbits are very temperamental, and this rabbit should be an adult, so it's not easy to feed.

" Both rabbits refused to eat the vegetable leaves inside, so they clicked their tongues: "Are they going on a hunger strike?"

Qin Huai smiled: "It's also possible that they would hit their head against the wall and die rather than surrender."

Seeing that Mu Nan was still playing with the two rabbits, he thought Looking at this one caught in the wild, I don't know if there are any insects on it, and now I have nothing else to do, so I simply started tossing the hot air pipe. The room is bigger and the space is bigger. I don't know if I can feed them. If the room doesn't work, That can only kill and eat meat.

There is no hay, even though there are a lot of things in Mu Nan's space, I didn't plan to put them on the hay, but there are still sawdust, they are all accumulated when making arrows, and sawdust is a good material for making fire, although There are not many, but now I have just started raising wild rabbits, try to give them a better environment, raise them well first, and talk about it later.

With the previous experience, it is much easier to connect a hot air pipe to the room. Anyway, it doesn't need much warmth in the room. There is a stove downstairs, and it also needs to supply the upper and lower floors. It is not very warm. , It can only be said to maintain a certain degree of heat, so that it will not be as cold as outside. Originally, wild rabbits were not easy to feed. This kind of wild animal has a strong temper. It would rather starve to death than be trapped. But I don't know if it's because of the extreme conditions outside, the lining of the house is warm enough, which made the two rabbits feel comfortable. When Qin Huai put the two rabbits upstairs, they adapted well and shut them upstairs. When I got out of the cage, I didn't eat or drink. I put it upstairs, no one was around, and the space was much larger. In addition to sawdust, there were even balls of cotton wool. The two rabbits began to eat and drink.

Mu Nan eagerly went upstairs to watch the rabbits every day, and couldn't help sighing whenever he saw two rabbits gnawing on vegetable leaves.

Qin Huai, who was watering the vegetables in the greenhouse, heard this, and said with a smile, "Do you want them to have a litter today and another litter tomorrow?"

Mu Nan said, "Brother, do you think we should intervene? I saw some rabbit breeding videos posted on the Internet before, all of which were bred with human intervention. A super long needle went straight in. The needle is really super long, at least three times as long as a human injection. What do you think? It depends on the male rabbit itself, the male rabbit's dick is not that long, so how can

they mate?" Qin Huai said helplessly: "You still worry about this, they can't mate, so where did the wild rabbits outside come from? You I usually look at some messy things."

Mu Nan snorted, "What a mess, this is to increase knowledge."

Qin Huai put away the curtain of the greenhouse, and walked to the third floor with a watering can: "Look at it for a while, go down I'm not afraid of the cold."

Mu Nan went to the balcony on the second floor and opened the curtain to look out. It has been several days since the last sudden change of weather, and the temperature outside has obviously dropped a lot these days, but today the sun After going out for a while, although the sky is getting gloomy now, the wind and snow have stopped. When the wind and snow stop, it seems that it is not so cold outside from the house, but in fact, it will definitely be cold to death when you go out.

Counting the time, it has been more than three months since the beginning of winter, and it will be hot again for more than three months. He doesn't know how long it will be this time, whether it is like half a year like winter, or like It was hot for a year before, and I didn't know. I hope that before summer comes, some food can be grown in the greenhouse on the base. If there is no way to grow it, I can't imagine what life will be like. Even if he had a small space, he was a little panicked.

Just as Mu Nan was about to come down from the stairs, he saw a group of thickly wrapped people coming from a distance. There was no wind and snow today, and even though there was no sun, the sky was still bright and the range of vision was quite high. Upstairs, I saw at a glance that those who came back were Yu Zibai and the others, and Wu Zheng. Although Wu Zheng was at home last time, I don't know if he told the person who registered with him that he wanted to wait for his brother to come back. Registered a new ID card, so this time Yu Zibai Jianchu and the others went together when the time came. It was lucky that the wind and snow hadn't stopped yesterday, but it stopped today. big hindrance.

As soon as Mu Nan returned to the first floor, he hadn't taken off his clothes, he hadn't got on the kang, and he was adding firewood to the stove when he heard a knock on the garage door. The one who could knock on the garage door must be the neighbor next door, Mu Nan quickly looked I checked to see if there was anything that could not appear on the kang, and after making sure there was nothing there, I went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Jian Chu rubbed her hands and came in: "Let me tell you, we went to register this time and heard something important. Wait for me to slowly die of cold."

Mu Nan said: "Then go to the stove , I just turned up the fire a little more, and went to warm up."

Jian Chu sat down to warm up the fire, and Mu Nan poured him a cup of hot water, and when his body was not so cold, Jian Chu gossiped with Mu Nan: "I He also said that Team Yuan didn't say anything about the incident at Monkey Mountain last time when he came back. I thought they thought we were lucky enough to avoid disaster. One thing more is better than one thing less. We won't deal with that side in the future. That's it, I didn't expect that in a few days, Team Yuan would directly mobilize troops."

Mu Nan was puzzled: "Mobilize troops? Why mobilize troops, to suppress bandits?"

Jian Chu nodded: "Yes, I just knew, our This is not the first time that this happened. Before us, there were already two vehicles that did not come back. Both vehicles were driven by a few people alone. It was the same as our last time, but where did they go missing? Now In this climate, there is no monitoring, and I don't know the general direction of people's actions. How could such a bad thing be allowed to happen within the jurisdiction of the country, of course it must be resolved, so I went directly with soldiers and weapons."

Qin Huai came down from upstairs, saw the two people sitting in front of the stove, smiled and said: "Jian Chu is here, have you registered your ID card?"

Jian Chu said: "Registered, you are chatting with Mu Nan."

Qin Huai said: "Then let's talk, are you hungry? Let me make some pancakes for you to eat." The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Mu Nan, even though it included the word "men".

Mu Nan said: "Eat, yes..."

Before he could say anything, he swallowed when he saw Qin Huai narrowing his eyes unkindly.

Looking at the two of them, Jian Chu laughed and said, "What charades are you playing?"

Qin Huai scooped up the flour with a basin and said, "He wants to eat chili."

Jian Chu smiled bluntly and said, "Restrain yourself, I just raised it Come on, it's not you who feel uncomfortable in the pain."

Mu Nan also wanted to restrain himself, but after the scar healed, he was the one who forgot the pain. If Qin Huai didn't take care of him, he might not be able to restrain himself, anyway. Can't eat, just don't want to, continue to ask Jian Chu: "And then? Was the bandit suppression successful?" Jian Chu

said: "Of course it was successful, the army was dispatched, and there was no success in suppressing a few mountain people. I can even imagine how frantic they were when they went to collect our bodies in the snow after that day and found that there was no car and buried nails. Maybe they were thinking viciously that next time it would definitely not be so easy Let us go, but before the next time, the army surrounded the mountain. This group of people is the same. I don't know if it's because they watched too many TV dramas, or they think our government is like tofu, and they feel that they have encountered a catastrophe. If no one cares about it, you can take over the mountain and become king."

Mu Nan said: "Maybe it's because I've watched too many American dramas, have you seen disaster-type American dramas? They are all such plots where self-reliance is king, and a natural disaster occurs. Yes, it's like being abandoned by the whole world, and it's amazing to be able to support yourself anytime, anywhere."

Jian Chu smiled and said: "Sure enough, art is art, and life is life. Didn't I tell you to do it with us at the beginning? The trader was a boy in his twenties, and later changed to a middle-aged man who said he was his second uncle, so there is something inside this matter!"

Mu Nan asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"That middle-aged man is not that boy's second uncle at all, and it has nothing to do with half a dime. Residents, there are not many people living here, and those who could walk before the earthquake left, because many of them originally had relatives in the countryside. After the earthquake, although there were not many people, many died. After the disaster, there must be a big epidemic. It's common sense, even if you don't have this kind of common sense, you know that there will be accidents if you live among so many dead people, so you migrate to the mountains far away, dig holes in the mountains, and avoid the crowds. This mountain doesn't belong to them, so as long as It doesn't occupy the hole dug by others, and no one cares who comes to live in it. The murderer, the one who planned to ambush us, is actually a murderer. It is said that he escaped from the prison, but he lived on the mountain at first People don't know, although they haven't made any friends, but they haven't made any enemies, and they get along well." "

Then the weather became cold, and the life on the mountain was not easy, but they still had experience living in the mountains. Set up a set to hunt these, at least there is some meat to eat, but the oil, salt, rice and noodles are relatively small, and the meat is not too much. At most, there is a little bit of tooth and tooth sacrifice. The only better thing is that they are on the mountain, even if the mountain was bald by the sun before. You can also get firewood locally. At any rate, there is a way to keep warm, and people can't freeze to death, but the mountain is too far away from our residential area. Hunting vehicles passed by, and the residents on the mountain suddenly found a new way of trading, exchanging the hunted things for rice, flour, grain and oil." When

Jianchu said this, Qin Huai had already mixed the flour, and there was no need for fermentation. Knead into a ball, then roll it flat, paste a layer of minced meat on it, pinch the edges of both ends to wrap it, and iron it directly in a boiling oil pan. He glanced over his head: "Your brother is good at cooking." Mu

Nan also turned around, and then called out to Qin Huai: "Brother."

Can't help but tilt up.

The two of them didn't chat, just gathered around the pot and watched, watching the white noodles being fried to a crispy golden color, but unfortunately there were no shallots, if there were green onions, sprinkle some chili noodles, the taste would be perfect.

A piece of minced meat and scallion pancake without shallots came out of the pan, Qin Huai put it on the plate and handed it to the two people who were drooling around the pan: "Take it out and eat it first." As he said that, he put down another roll of white dough After cooking the pot, he did not forget to tell him: "Nan Nan, eat less, you can only eat half of it, it's fried."

Mu Nan agreed, and Jian Chu and Jian Chu held half of the scallion pancakes and ate them. He said, because it was just out of the pot, it was a little hot, and he had to change hands to blow the hot red fingers every second or two in his hand, while gnawing, he urged Jian Chu to continue: "Then, how about a good deal?" Does it turn into murder for money?"

Jian Chu continued: "Didn't I say that the man is a murderer, but he is not from the local area, but is serving his sentence in our prison, the earthquake is so severe , he just wanted to go home and have a look, but it was too difficult to go home at this time. Without a car, he seemed to have never served his sentence. It is said that when the earthquake happened, they were working on the playground of the prison, and they were also preparing to build an indoor field. After all, the earthquake came, collapsed everywhere, and there was chaos. Anyway, he took the opportunity to run away, fearing that he would be caught back. Walking along the national road, you will come here, but if you go further, there will be no place for shade. You know how desolate it is over there, so he wants to find a place to live first, and then follow Residents here go to open caves on the mountain, and they don't want to live here because they have all their belongings here, and the caves are comfortable to live in, so they don't want to come here. He doesn't want to be afraid of being found out that he has a criminal record. It's collapsing everywhere, but who knows if there's anything on file with the government."

After Jian Chu finished speaking, he took a bite of the cold scallion pancake, and said: "His ultimate goal is to go home. He couldn't help it before. Didn't the residents on the mountain make a deal with driving a car to hunt? He found out, this The viciousness was revealed at once. First, some thugs were found, and the supplies of some old and weak women and children living on the mountain were robbed. When I traded with that young man once, it was when this guy was just making waves. I said that he looked pretty good at that time, and the murderer knew that it was impossible to occupy the mountain here forever. The more vehicles he robbed, The easier it is to cause trouble, the army is still stationed here, so he wants to intercept and kill some vehicles and supplies in a short time. The focus is on vehicles. Only when there is a car can they leave. It is enough to grab a car. But he punctured his car tire and needed to change the tire. He didn't know how far it would be before going back, so he had to prepare some fuel, so he planned to save up a little more and leave immediately, but the speed was not as fast as those soldiers. , and ambushed directly around the mountain, anyway, all the people on the mountain were brought down, how comfortable they lived on the mountain before, and how miserable they have been tortured during this period, the facts have proved that it is impossible to leave the government." Qin Huai heard this

. , picked up the noodle cakes from the kang in the pot and put them on a plate, and looked at Jian Chu. This kind of guy who can directly freeze people to death in the snow in order to grab a car, expects to be human. Impossible, so it is entirely conceivable that when his behavior is exposed and unscrupulous, how the ordinary residents on the mountain who have little resistance will be treated, but he did not stop Jian Chu from saying this, let Mu Nan Listen to it too.

Sure enough, Jian Chu continued: "The people who drilled holes on the mountain were originally people from this neighborhood. Some lived alone, and some were just a few members of an ordinary family. How could they be the opponent of this kind of mad murderer? Anyway, the soldiers searched for them. When going up the mountain, I found many people who had frozen to death in the caves. The entrances of those people were blocked by big rocks. In addition, once the ice and snow froze, they could not be pushed away. Later, the sealed caves were opened. , except for the people who died of freezing, there was not even a grain of rice in it, and they were all taken away. There were also some women, who were even more pitiful. What about the little girl who is 10 years old, do you think these people should be damned!"

Mu Nan nodded, these people can no longer be called human beings, those who follow the murderer as a sidekick are more abominable than the murderer, those who freeze to death or are abused, maybe there are people they know, who are not afraid of life Difficult because people's hearts are too evil.

Jian Chu didn't say what happened to those people. Anyway, the death penalty is cheaper for them, but all the residents on the mountain were brought back, and the car was hidden. A total of seven people were found in a snow-covered pothole at the foot of the mountain, all of whom were frozen to death.

This incident spread in the greenhouse, because after the people on the mountain were brought down, the innocent victims were settled in the greenhouse first, so the matter could not be hidden, so they went to register for their ID cards , I just heard a lot of news. Jian Chu came here to tell Mu Nan specifically to make them more vigilant. Although Mu Nan reminded them that the transaction might be dangerous at the beginning, but when this matter has a result, they should also know. Otherwise, if you are trapped in this house by the heavy snow, you will think how peaceful the whole world is.

Before leaving, Qin Huai asked Jian Chu to take two breads away, and he did everything, that is, a little flour. Now that their food is not in short supply, they naturally don't need to worry about such a little thing, but Jian Chu is a little I'm sorry, it's as if he came here to eat, but the enthusiastic neighbor had to accept it, thinking that next time he would cook something delicious and send it over to give back.

At night, Mu Nan lay on the kang, and when Qin Huai also fell asleep, he threw himself into Qin Huai's arms and hugged him.

Qin Huai caressed his back lightly: "What's the matter? Are you scared by what Jian Chu said?"

Mu Nan said sullenly: "How can I be so timid, I just feel that the current life is too heavy "

Qin Huai smiled: "Let me see, how heavy is it?"

Sensing Qin Huai's movements, Mu Nan was immediately annoyed: "Brother!"

Qin Huai said with a smile: "It's just too idle to think about it. , come and do something else, you won't think so much in your little mind."

Mu Nan couldn't help laughing and hid back: "No, it's so troublesome to take a bath now."

This is not a question of saying no to it, it is a question that must be done once the arrow is on the string.
