Chapter 116 - go out

Wei Xuan, who took a late night’s sleep and deliberately stayed on the bed for more than an hour, climbed out of bed, and it was already four o’clock in the afternoon of the next day as he wished.

After waking up and having breakfast, and checking again the things that he had prepared the night before and needed to bring, Wei Xuan took Du Hang to the top floor of the building where they lived, carefully observing the situation outside.

Not far from them, the pots and pans in the room were filled with snow water melted by the strange snow. It is impossible for Weixuan on this floor to install electric heaters in every room. Therefore, except for this room where they often come to observe the outside situation, the pots and pans in other rooms at this time The basic snow water inside has basically frozen the mountains.

It’s just that there is only a thin layer of ice that is not too thick on the water surface of some rooms, while others are mostly frozen. This has a lot to do with the recent gradual warming of the temperature. Recently, the daytime temperature has risen to about ten degrees. I believe that Wei Xuan will no longer have to work hard to boil snow water every day, and can rely on the power of nature to make these Snow water evaporates naturally.

“Very well, there are no helicopters at the moment…” After confirming the situation in the sky outside, Wei Xuan felt at ease. He continued to observe whether there were any unnecessary things in the sky, and at the same time began to count the purses and pockets of the two of them. The hidden weapons in it—these are all the “golden cancans” collected before.

These things are very strange. They are obviously leaves and fallen leaves of various plants, but they will not be corrupted at all after being dropped and collected! Wei Xuan once threw a leaf beside a relatively humid sink, but after such a long time, that leaf has not even grown any white hairs, let alone moldy or rotten! Not even a sign of softening. It is stronger and durable than the leaf bookmarks specially made before the end of the world.

At this time, both Wei Xuan and Du Hang had such things in their waist pockets and coat pockets. Of course, in order not to cut his hands, Wei Xuan wrapped the end of each leaf and leaf needle with adhesive tape and arranged them upwards, which is convenient for handling and also prevents sticking hands. The bag used to hold these things is also specially made, glued together with several layers of soft and malleable leather. Although it is a bit rough, it can ensure that the tips will not be damaged and at the same time prevent them from leaking the leather from the pocket. fall out.

“Everything is packed. If there are no accidents when I go out this time, I will go to the warehouse area with those two guys after I come back.” Wei Xuan felt at ease, looking out the window at the last ray of the sun gradually falling into the horizon Down. Get up and hold Du Hang’s hand, and walk to the stairs with him.

There are still a lot of canned food at home, not to mention that there are still a lot of bird meat frozen in the refrigerator. Even if Wei Xuan went to the warehouse area again this time, what he was going to take was not canned meat, but all kinds of pickles, pickles, hot sauce and other things that could last for storage.

There are a lot of those things in the warehouse area, and there are all kinds of brands. Even if he takes all four of his younger brothers, he will move them every few days, and it will take a year and a half to move them. .

As long as there is enough meat and the like, no matter how much those cans are taken, they will all go bad once they expire. But pickles, pickles, hot sauce and other things are different. Look at the “results” harvested by the planter at home last time. Wei Xuan doubts that even if he can bring the zombies to hunt prey and eat meat, it may be difficult to eat those with different tastes, healthy or unhealthy. something.

Of course, rice and flour also worried him. Fortunately, at least there are potatoes, which can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food. If the food is exhausted and cannot be grown, then eat potatoes. Anyway, it is impossible for me to live as a human being like I am now.

Walk out of the community and enter the street that is also covered with snow. The snow under the feet made a rustling sound, and the outlines of many sundries, stones, vehicles, and even zombies sleeping in the streets that were originally covered by heavy snow were already faintly visible.

After the strange snow melted last time, many zombies sleeping around on the street were seen again because of the thinning of the snow. In the recent period of time, many zombies who were buried in the shallower snow layers have emerged from the snow again, continuing their days of wandering aimlessly.

In the night, the nearby buildings and roads should not be clearly visible. Fortunately, there is still snow all over the streets, as long as the moon in the sky refracts a little light on the ground, it will appear much clearer than the night in other seasons.

Wei Xuan felt that walking in the snow was much easier than going out at night in other seasons. In addition, the current snow layer is thinning, even without his special “snow shoes”, he and Du Hang can walk on the snow very steadily without worrying about not being able to pull out their legs.

Walking in the silent night, there was a rustling sound under his feet, Wei Xuan let out bursts of white air while looking at the snow around him and secretly sighed—it’s a pity that the snow can’t be collected anymore…

In other words, these snow accumulations may still be collected, melted and purified into ordinary drinking water, but because of the strange snow before, Wei Xuan always feels that these snow accumulations are not as “clean” as before.

Of course, he also knew that this was probably just a problem in his heart. Because even those “strange snows”, after evaporating snowflakes, the evaporated water vapor should be safe and harmless. But he just felt that the snow had been covered and melted by other things, so he might not be as clean and harmless as before.

Fortunately, he had already collected most of the clean snow in the community long before the strange snow fell, and he even collected a lot of snow in many places around the community that could be confirmed to be absolutely clean. Store it all. Although they were not stored together in ice cubes, the amount collected should be enough for him to use for a long time.

This trip took another two nights. When Wei Xuan arrived not far from his destination on the second night, he did not go in directly, but came to the residence where he had rested several times before, and waited until the sky was bright before coming along the wall of the small alley. Next to the two-story building, enter the room.

The room was empty, except for the “diary” on the corner of the wall, there were no traces of those two guys.

Wei Xuan put down the diary he took away last time, put the new one in his bag, and casually left a few lines on the one that belonged to him. After observing the situation outside, he took Du Hang to the corner together. Sit down, heat up a meal, prepare to eat something to rest, and wait until the evening before going out for action.

This time, he didn’t plan to leave on the same day he came, but to take a look at the place where the two guys lived.

As I considered before, the place where the two guys live is very high, and maybe they will see some situations that they couldn’t observe a while ago. It is more likely to meet some people or other things in winter. It’s best to talk to them face to face.

Bursts of steam came out of the box in front of it, indicating that the food inside had been thoroughly heated. Wei Xuan’s family’s instant rice has long been eaten up, but because he doesn’t go out frequently, so whenever he eats at home, he will heat the rice and vegetables in the microwave, leaving behind all the heating packs and water. left alone.

So now, when he goes out, he can bring homemade meals and these saved heating packs. He can use these things to heat up when eating out, which is convenient and trouble-free, even more affordable than bringing the original meals directly.

Wei Xuan was going to go to that warehouse again after a while, this time he didn’t intend to pick up those expired instant rice, but to collect their heat packs…

It would be better if we could find a heating pack processing factory. Unfortunately, Wei Xuan has no way or news about this for the time being.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan will only use these things when he goes out in winter, and he only needs to bring some durable ones that can be eaten cold when he usually goes out. And in winter… he really rarely goes out.

After eating, Wei Xuan looked through the diaries of the two people. Wei Xuan focused on finding the diaries of the days when the explosion occurred, and found very regrettably—these two guys seem to be more afraid of the cold, and their diaries have now become Every time I finish writing a book, I will take one and put it here, and the days of the explosion have not been written in the few diaries that appear here now!

“…Let’s go to them directly after waking up. I hope they won’t attack you before you reach their downstairs.” Wei Xuan stuffed a few diaries into his backpack with a helpless expression, and talked with Du Hangwo Wrap up in a thick blanket and sleep together.

When he woke up, it was already evening, and the sky outside was gradually getting darker. The room was still as silent as before, and there was no trace of the two people coming. Wei Xuan stood at the window to observe the conditions of the road and the sky, and walked out slowly with Du Hang.

At this moment, because the sky has not yet completely darkened, there are zombies wandering around everywhere in the streets. Most of these zombies are still wearing clothes of the early end of the world, many of them are dressed in short sleeves, and many female zombies are also wearing long skirts. In this icy and snowy environment, such clothing collocation looks very weird.

A few zombies in the clothes of sanitation workers were also dangling by the side of the road, holding brooms for sweeping the floor in their hands. Most of the broom heads had fallen off, and they were waving long wooden sticks in the snow. rowing. There is an uncle cleaner zombie whose broom head is stuck under a pile of snow, struggling with obstacles in the snow like a tug-of-war.
