Chapter 71:

Although the temperature is very hot and the sun comes out slowly, the temperature rises, but it is more comfortable to eat this kind of naan soaked in soup than eating hard naan. After eating, take a sip of warm soup and wait a while People will feel cooler. Compared with drinking ice water to cool down at the time, it will be hotter after a while, and drinking warm water is actually much more comfortable.

Some people looked at them eagerly, and wanted to ask them for a sip of soup several times, hesitant to say anything. Among other things, the supplement of salt alone was still very important under such intense sweat loss. It's a pity that the few of them seem to be together, they are all tall men, and judging by their appetite, they probably don't even have more than one bite.

Sure enough, one naan per person, plus a bowl of soup, they were all eaten clean, and there was nothing left.

Mu Nan didn't eat much, most of it was Qin Huai's food. He was so hot that he no longer had much appetite. Wearing protective clothing, he walked for such a long time outside in such a high temperature. People are already drowsy.

Sleeping is naturally lying on the spot, there are not too many conditions, Qin Huai and the others put the car in the inner seat, and there are people sleeping outside, as long as someone approaches them, they can find it, other people rarely sleep together in twos and threes, Most of them hugged or pillowed their own things and found a place against the wall. Some people even had the energy to dig through the cabinets that were upside down on the ground. They didn't know whether they wanted to dig out the money or look for the cabinets. Is there any snacks placed by the bank staff before, but unfortunately there is nothing to gain, and the cabinet is empty.

Mu Nan fell asleep as soon as he lay down, he was so tired, Qin Huai untied some of his clothes, wiped him with a wet towel, and blew on him with a small fan, Mu Nan didn't even sleep during the whole process move.

Looking at it, Jian Chu couldn't help but said, "Sure enough, it's someone else's brother series."

Qin Huai smiled and said nothing, touched Mu Nan's forehead and neck, the temperature was not too high, although he was a little sweaty, but it was okay, he was sure that he was really tired and fell asleep, Qin Huai finally Then lie down.

On the first day of running like this, almost everyone hadn’t gotten used to it, and fell asleep exhausted as soon as they stopped. Many people wondered if they hadn’t cultivated the vigilance after the disaster, or felt that there were soldiers guarding them. It is safer, and the snoring sound is like thunder as soon as you lie down. Because it was outside, unexpected situations could happen at any time, so Qin Huai didn't sleep deeply. He was never worried about entrusting the safety of himself and Mu Nan to others, so although he was tired, he didn't let himself fall asleep completely. . Even the whispered exchange between the two soldiers in charge of their brigade when they took turns changing the guard woke him up instantly.

The old soldier glanced at him, seemed a little surprised at his vigilance, smiled at him, then found a random place against the wall and closed his eyes.

After a day's sleep, I delivered another meal at about five or six o'clock. The meal lasted for an hour, and I set off on the road at seven o'clock on time. Mu Nan looked at the naan and shook his head, that thing is too hard, it is not the hardness of ordinary naan at all, it is so hard that it can be used as a helmet on the head, even if Qin Huai has been boiled in the soup, it is still a panic, now let He gnawed hard, feeling that it was making things difficult for him, so he ate a few buns instead of the naan.

Jian Chu sighed while eating: "Thanks to my young teeth and good mouth."

Yu Zibo smiled and said: "Otherwise, you can leave it alone and eat the dried meat. If you want to eat naan at night, cook it more."

Jian Chu bit it as if venting her anger, her cheeks hurt from chewing, and she still asked, "Do you know where this place is? How far is it from the University City?"

Yu Zibo said, "This is Wuyang Road."

Jian Chu was sad for a moment: "We haven't even gone out of the district." We walked all night, and it used to be only three or four bus stops away.

Yu Zibai shook his head: "Some places collapsed and couldn't be walked through, and the team was long, so naturally we walked slowly."

Qin Huai said: "Our city has a total of fifteen administrative districts. If we divide them according to the route, we have to pass through at least three districts. This is still under the condition that the road is clear and there is no need to take many detours. If the Qingsha Bridge did not collapse , taking the Qingsha Bridge is the fastest way, so we only need to cross one district, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the bridge not to collapse, so I don’t know how to detour.”

Jian Chu suddenly wailed: "If I don't feel it myself, I really don't know how hard the long march of the predecessors is. Before I have walked out of a district, I already feel that I am coming to the end of my life."

Yu Zibai patted him lightly: "Come on, pooh, touch the wood, you can talk like a child, can you speak?" The environment where the plague is spreading everywhere, it is very unlucky to say such words.

Although Jian Chu was not superstitious about these things, she still gave a obedient pooh, and then reached out to touch the wooden cabinet lying on the ground beside her.

Mu Nan gnawed at the bread and smiled: "It was just a little tired in the first two days, but it's actually okay after I get used to it."

He felt that he was really relaxed in this life. Although it was obviously much hotter than the previous life because of wearing protective clothing, the ease of mind made him feel that the walking process was not painful at all, probably because the previous life was no matter what the situation was. He was the only one who endured it all by himself. In this life, he had Qin Huai, and friends like Jian Chu, so he felt that there was nothing that could make him tense when the sky fell, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

When it was time to assemble, the walkie-talkie in the hands of the soldiers in charge of their team rang, and an order came from Shi Yuanfei to assemble. The veteran in charge of their team was surnamed Xu, no matter who was older or younger than him, they basically called him Xu Brother, he clicked the team number, because there are thirty people in a big team, and five people make up a small team. There are too many people and they may not be able to remember each other, so let each small team remember the people clearly, so that when counting, you only need to call The team number is as long as there are no members, which can save a lot of time.

The people in their team were all okay, there were not too many fluffy people, and they waited obediently for the time to assemble without running around, so they arrived at the assembly place soon and were ready to set off. Some teams in the back had more problems. It is said that during the day, two people fought for a place to sleep. This also convinced many people. After walking for so long, they still had the strength to fight. Speed ​​up today, when you are so tired that you don't want to say a word, naturally you don't have the energy to fight.

But that being said, the speed did not actually increase, instead it slowed down a bit. Many people have never experienced this kind of rapid march. It is normal for their legs to be too much to bear at the beginning. Today, many people want to find a piece of wood when they are walking. When walking with a cane, it was not my own leg that was sore.

It was Mu Nan who surprised Shi Yuanfei. He looked at Qin Huai and said, "Your brother's small body is a bit beyond my expectation." Looking at a man who is not strong at all, he is still wearing protective clothing. After taking it for a while, I consume more physical energy. I don’t exercise regularly now. Who doesn’t pant when I run for two steps? Everyone seems to be fine. Once I enter the hospital, there are problems everywhere. I can persist for the first day. , really surprised him a bit.

Qin Huai said: "Fortunately, I have improved my physical fitness by running at home every day."

Shi Yuanfei smiled when he heard the words: "That's right, he has a strong sense of crisis." He really felt that it was a pity that Qin Huai did not serve as a soldier. Whether it is physical or psychological quality, it is the material for a soldier.

On the second day, Mu Nan has figured out a new way to cool down, that is, throwing an ice cube into his mouth from time to time. This ice cube is what he prepared for the ice drink before. The water is drinking water, but he can drink it directly. Now, after finding out that he can cool down like this, he feels a little regretful. He knew that he had iced some glucose water and light salt water, so that he can replenish sugar and salt at any time, but now he can have ice cubes to cool down, and he is already very satisfied. , even though it was still light at this moment, he couldn't secretly stuff ice cubes into Qin Huai's mouth behind his back.

Originally, they thought that their journey would basically repeat the pattern of the first day, walking all night, taking a short break for an hour in the middle, finding a place to eat and sleep during the day, and continuing on their way after eating, but unexpectedly, something went wrong the next day.

After it was completely dark, Mu Nan unbuttoned the protective clothing a little bit, and while wiping with a cooling wet towel, fanned himself, and covered it up by wiping Qin Huai's sweat, and quickly took advantage of others. Without paying attention, two ice cubes were stuffed into his mouth. Qin Huai's mouth was stuffed, he couldn't speak, he could only stare at him, luckily he didn't have any teeth problems, otherwise his teeth wouldn't be able to stand the cold.

After finally melting some of the ice in his mouth, seeing Mu Nan stretching out his hand again, he grabbed his hand and said, "Walk well."

Mu Nan: "I want to wipe off your sweat."

Qin Huai straightened his hat: "I can't stand the heat and I'll wipe it myself. You should walk well. It's so dark. Look under your feet so you don't fall."

Seeing Qin Huai rejecting his ice, Mu Nan sighed.

Jian Chu said from the side: "You two brothers, do you want to be so sticky?"

Mu Nan grinned: "That must be done." Before he finished speaking, he felt something running past his feet. Although he was wearing running shoes, he was afraid of covering his feet after walking for a long time, so his feet A sweat-absorbing sanitary napkin was placed under it, and the mesh upper was breathable, which was very thin, so he could clearly feel something running over his feet.

Caught off guard by a living creature, Mu Nan screamed subconsciously.

Qin Huai hurriedly turned around to check: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan lowered his head and looked around: "Something ran over my feet just now."

The people on the side were already tired and hot, and they were a bit envious of their equipment. The protective clothing didn't matter, it was a pain to wear in such hot weather, but the hat with the small fan was a good thing, especially so It was hot and windless, so he didn't like the way he made a fuss, and he mocked with a hint of dissatisfaction: "There are so many reptiles and mice, why make a fuss if one or two ran over, you're a bitch."

Qin Huai's face turned cold, but before he could move, Mu Nan grabbed his hand and jumped up in panic, "Rats! Brother has a rat!"

Not only Mu Nan yelled, but the whole team was in commotion almost at the same time, because it was not one or two mice, but a group of mice. Those mice were not afraid of people, and even jumped on people. The rats are really disgusting and scary. , small paws, long and hairless tail, I don’t know how many piles of dead people I have climbed over, now I am running rampant in the crowd, and even climbed on people, even though their team is all men, they still jump in fright , slapping himself fiercely, trying to knock down the mice that climbed up, and those that had already crawled on their faces and heads, shouted in horror.

Qin Huai didn't care about himself, he pulled Mu Nan over and slapped the mouse that crawled on him. Although Mu Nan was scared and sick, he knew that if he was accidentally scratched or bitten by a mouse, he would probably die. It was fatal, seeing that Qin Huai also had it, he didn't care about being afraid at the moment, and slapped him in a hurry.

There were screams from the crowd one after another. Some shouted for help, some ran away in a hurry, some even cried out of fright, and some vented their hatred, grabbing the mouse and throwing it to the ground. Dead one is just one.

All the teams were thrown into confusion by the sudden swarms of mice. Some people instinctively wanted to run away, and started to run around in a panic, even though Shi Yuanfei kept yelling, don't panic, don't panic. . But the situation where the rats were crawling all over the body did not make people calm down, and they couldn't hear what others were saying.

While driving away the mice, Qin Huai kept an eye on the surrounding environment. When he saw someone rushing towards him in a panic, he pulled Mu Nan away, and the two of them stood as high as possible. As for the small trailer, they could no longer care about it. That little thing is not worth guarding with your life.

Qin Huai was very calm, and was not frightened by the sudden turmoil, so he jumped out of the crowd immediately. Xu Ming also quickly reacted, and pulled Yu Zibai and Jian Chu who were still concerned about driving away the rats, and told them to hurry up Get out of the way, stay as far away from the panicked crowd as possible at this time.

Just after they dodged for a while, some people bumped into each other in a panic. Many people fell to the ground and rolled into a ball. Those mice crawled on people even more unscrupulously. Stepped on the person who fell to the ground. If the ground is flat, that's all. The team of 300 people is not gathered together. Even if they bump into it and step on it, they won't be hurt. But now the ground is full of collapsed construction waste, stones, steel bars, Some shabby furniture with sharp thorns are considered light when they fall and break, but if they poke on the body, it is fatal.

For a moment, the whole team howled and screamed, and the chaos was out of control.

Qin Huai saw that there were still some rags on the ground under the rocks, which were obviously used by the people who lived here before to block the sun, so he asked Mu Nan to stand carefully, and pulled out the rags, and pulled them out again. He took out a steel bar that was still stuck in the stone, and asked loudly, "Who has fire?"

Shi Yuanfei, who was not too far away from him, understood his intention in an instant, ran over quickly and handed over the lighter, and wrapped the piece of cloth around the steel bar. Use the steel bar covered with cloth to beat the mice on the ground with the burning end.

Some people saw that fire was used to drive away mice, so they also started to look for cloth in the ruins, but there were so many cloths to be found, and if they couldn't find cloth, they found other things that were handy, and smashed the ground directly, killing a The mouse is one.

Those mice don't know why they ran out in groups, but some of them were obviously passing by. I don't know if they were hungry. When they saw people, they crawled and bit them without hesitation. After a flurry, many people trampled to death. After a panic, the large group of mice ran away, only a few scattered ones were still running around in the crowd. After being trampled to death, they ran away slowly. .

Those who fell on the ground didn’t know whether they were poked by building **** or bitten by rats. Many people couldn’t get up, and some were startled by the sudden swarm of rats. They couldn’t recover for a long time and wailed. Crying, standing, lying down, the whole team dispersed.

Qin Huai couldn't care about others, so he was sure that the mice had run away, so he pulled Mu Nan to his side with trembling hands: "Is there any pain? Is there any bite? Don't hide it from me."

Mu Nan shook his head, he was so scared that he couldn't recover: "I don't know, I don't know if I was bitten anywhere."

Qin Huai ran to their trailer and found a pack of disinfectant wipes, then took off his protective clothing: "Hold the light, I'll take a look."

As he spoke, he took Mu Nan's arm and wiped it for him little by little, while carefully checking whether there were any mouse bite wounds on his body, inside or outside his clothes, or even on his feet with shoes, to make sure his body was clean. With a little wound, Qin Huai's raised heart fell back a little, and he kissed Mu Nan's forehead forcefully, and after a while, he said in a weak voice: "It's fine, it's fine, there are no more mice."

Mu Nan also went to take off Qin Huai's clothes with weak hands and feet: "I'll show you." Just like Qin Huai checked him just now, he wiped his body with a disinfectant wipe and checked his body for any damage. skin. Fortunately, they were wearing protective clothing, which probably blocked some of them, so they were not injured by rats.

Qin Huai took the protective clothing they took off to one side. They were all crawled by mice, so they sprayed and disinfected them carefully. On the other side, Jian Chu and the others also checked each other, but they were not wearing protective clothing. Bite wounds, but some appeared to be red marks from rat claws.

Mu Nan hurriedly washed them with disinfectant. Although I don't know if it will help, it's better than doing nothing.

They have dealt with everything they can handle. Mu Nan was still shaking slightly while sitting on the stone pier. It was too scary. A group of mice rushed up and climbed on the person. If he hadn't been wearing protective glasses and a mask , A mouse crawled on his face before.

The protective clothing has been washed with disinfectant water, and it is still wet, so Qin Huai hung the protective clothing on the small trailer to dry, then walked over and patted Mu Nan's head: "It's fine, don't be afraid."

With such a hot temperature, Mu Nan was frightened and cold, but not only Mu Nan, many people were shocked at the moment, and some people saw the mouse bite wound on their body, broke down and burst into tears . It was only the second day, and they encountered this kind of thing. If they had known it earlier, they would have stayed in the camp. Even if they were surrounded by the plague, they could at least live for a few more days.

Xu Ming looked at the few people who hadn't regained consciousness: "Have the wounds on your body been disinfected?"

Yu Zibai shook Jian Chu's hand and nodded: "They are all scratches, but there are no bite marks. Are the scratches important?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "I don't know, let alone scratches, if you have a wound on your body, you may even be infected if you pass by a place with a virus. These rats don't know where they crawled out of or what they were contaminated with, so Let’s see, if you are infected, you should have a reaction soon. You must wear your masks these days, and try not to have too much contact with other people. I think many people over there were bitten and saw blood. gone."

Yu Zibai looked at Jian Chu: "You put on the protective clothing later."

Jian Chu: "I don't want it, don't say it, if you want to die together, what's the big deal."

Yu Zibo: "You put on the protective clothing, I put on the raincoat, it's the same."

Jian Chu: "You wear protective clothing, I wear a raincoat, it's the same anyway."

Yu Zibo couldn't hold him back, fearing that he would go back to the point where no one should wear it, so he nodded in agreement.

Shi Yuanfei and some soldiers are checking the wounded in the team. Those injured by falls and those bitten by rats need to be dealt with. Now they don't know if the group of rats are sick, so those who were bitten will be treated. They are placed at the end of the team, and any sick ones must be discarded immediately.

No one expected that they would be injured so badly on the second day after they came out. Some people speculated whether there would be an earthquake again, or why those rats would leave in one direction in groups, as if they were also migrating.

But no one can give them an answer. In the current situation, if there is another earthquake, they will either fall through the cracks in the ground, and they will not be smashed again. There are not many buildings on the surface that have not collapsed. up.

A team of more than 300 people can't be dealt with immediately when they are hit by a group of rats, but I don't know if there will be another group of rats coming. Shi Yuanfei asked everyone to rectify, some of them were seriously injured, Let's support each other, and let's talk after leaving here. I'm afraid I can't continue on my way today, I have to find a place to renovate.

A group of people continued to walk forward with the panic and uneasiness that had not yet dissipated, but some of them were seriously injured because they fell to the ground, and they couldn't even stop the bleeding after a random bandage, so they couldn't walk too far. Shi Yuanfei had no choice but to find a building that was not yet collapsed and stopped, and asked people to rest and rectify on the open space first. If there is no way to start again today, when the sun rises, he can directly hide in the building to avoid the sun .

Seeing that they had found a corner to sit down, Xu Ming got up and said, "I'll go to the military doctor to see if there's anything I can do to help." If there were medicines, he would still have no problem dealing with some injuries.

Qin Huai touched Mu Nan's forehead, wiped his sweat and fanned him: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Mu Nan shook his head, looked at the seriously injured or bitten people in the distance, and couldn't help asking: "Are we going back?" It was only the second day, and there were so many casualties, although No one died, but if those rats were sick rats, the whole group would die.

Qin Huai said: "Probably not. No matter what, they will insist on going to the University City, otherwise they will not find a place that can avoid the center of the city as much as possible, and more people will die."

Seeing that no one noticed them, even Jian Chu and Yu Zibai were whispering there, Mu Nan pulled off Qin Huai's mask and stuffed something into Qin Huai's mouth, stuffed a piece of pancake stuffed with meat, and stuffed another mouthful of rice balls, Fearing that he would choke, he stuffed another mouthful of watermelon. Although he was really frightened by the rats, no matter how frightened he was, he couldn't stop him from feeding Qin Huai every now and then.
