3 - third chapter




"My old home, you've been there." Lu Bachuan said with a smile.
Lu Bachuan's hometown, Zhou Yan did go there, it was the summer vacation in the year his parents died, when the people in the dormitory went home after the vacation, Zhou Yan didn't want to return to the empty home alone so early, so he stayed in the dormitory for two more days, Kie didn't know how Lu Bachuan knew about it, so he invited him to go to his hometown with him.
The village is near the river, surrounded by two steep cliffs that form a triangle with the river, and the villagers live in this isolated corner of the world, with only a dozen or so families, and the only road to the outside world is the one between the two cliffs. The boats at the ferry.
In a time of peace and stability, such places would have felt remote, backward, and inconvenient to travel. But in the zombie-infested end of the world, it was the perfect place to take refuge.
If the road between the two mountain cliffs was blocked, the only way to connect the village with the outside world would be by crossing the river. As far as he knew, the speed and agility of the zombies back there had improved, but he hadn't heard of any zombies that could swim, and almost all the people who had lived by the river for generations could swim. Not to mention, since most of the cultivated land in the village was across the river, every household in the village had small fishing boats in order to facilitate the crossing of the river for work.
Thinking of all this, Zhou Yan's face revealed an ecstasy he himself hadn't even noticed.
Lu Bachuan saw this and asked with a smile, "Does Xiao Yan think that place is okay?"
"Easily defensible, a perfect refuge, we'd better leave early, it's probably going to get worse the further we get to the back of the road." Zhou Yan hurriedly said.
Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong were naturally fine with it, and the itinerary was finalized.
Lu Baichuan thought of something and picked up the phone on the coffee table to look at it, but there was still no signal.
"Do you want to go to your aunt's house this afternoon and see what the situation is at his house, do you want to come with us?" Zhou Yan knew how much he valued his aunt's family Lu Baichuan knew, he didn't want Zhou Yan to just impulsively go with him and regret it when he thought of it.
"No need to visit, let's go to the supermarket this afternoon when the snow melts and see if we can gather more food." Zhou Yan lowered his head and tried to control it to keep his resentment from showing.
Then he changed the subject: "Let's pack up our things first, the whole house should be able to take all of them with us."
Lu Baichuan stared at Zhou Yan for a while and saw that the corners of his eyes were a bit red and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was hiding something, knowing that he should be hiding something from himself, but with a face full of exhaustion, he couldn't bear to ask any more questions and whispered: "Those are not urgent, we'll just clean up, I think you're running over here early in the morning, it's better to go rest for a while, and only when you go out in the afternoon will you have a Spirit."
Zhou Yan had been in a tense state of mind from waking up and then rushing over until now, not even considering whether or not he needed to take a break.
Now that he was reminded, he could go take a break. The environment in which they were in was safe for the time being, the people they wanted to guard were also around, and they had already set a retreat, after which they could slowly plan things out, their spirits relaxed and their sleepiness came.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the shoes you're wearing, and then go to the closet to look through the thick winter blanket.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years.
Zhou Yan saw Lu Baichuan laid out the quilt also sat on the edge of the bed and did not go, waved his hand, yawned and said: "You quickly go to tidy up your own things, I sleep my, and when I wake up we can go out, and also, things do not need to be packed, small objects collected into a convenient piece to put in on the line."
Lu Baichuan helplessly looked at him the same way, also did not go out, turned into the bathroom to start sorting things out.
Amidst the rustling sounds, Zhou Yan was lost in thought of the year his parents died, when he was strong enough to finish his parents' funeral and stay at home alone, the empty room was even more silent, he couldn't stand that atmosphere and went back to school the next day.
He always thought the lively atmosphere of the school would make him feel better, but the result was the same.
In the end, while wandering aimlessly around the campus, he met Lu Bachuan who had found him and was brought home.
It was more or less the same at that time, and after Ye Yuanrong made him a meal, Lu Bachuan rushed him to rest.
Zhou Yan still clearly remembers that the afternoon sun was bright, but he didn't want to close the curtains and sleep, so Lu Bachuan just followed him and just took a book and watched over him, and with the occasional flip of a book, he slept the best sleep he'd had in days.
It was after that that he became closer and closer to Lu Bachuan.
Zhou Yan was woken up by heat, and when he woke up and raised his eyes, Lu Bachuan was not in the bedroom, and several suitcases were neatly lined up in the corner.
The curtains are tightly drawn, so you can't see outside, but with the current temperature in the room, Zhou Yan can guess that the snow outside should be almost melted.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services, including a full range of products and services, and a wide range of products and services. The space can fit all of them, and it's troublesome to pack them up and take them out when the time comes."
"These are usually not very useful, scattered to occupy the place, your space room is not infinite, pack it up to save some place, and if you meet something good on the way back, you'll have a place to put it." Lu Bachuan said without lifting his head.
Thinking that it was indeed so, Zhou Yan did not argue, and went to the window to look down the street, the snow had been melted by the scorching sun, and there was only a little white snow on the shade of the trees and grass in the distance.
Just after the snow was melted, along with it came out all the zombies on the street, there were always so few zombies on the street wandering around aimlessly, and there were only more where the sunlight was blocked out of sight.
Seeing that Zhou Yan kept staring out the window, Lu Bachuan walked over as well and asked, "What's the problem?"
Zhou Yan paused and said, "The walkers seem to fear direct sunlight."
Lu Baichuan carefully observed the few walkers on the road, and it was true that most of the time they were walking under the shadows, and even if they occasionally reached the sun, they would slowly walk back into the shadows with a wobble.
"But the sun doesn't do them any harm, and I don't know what it would take to incapacitate them completely." Thinking of the still unconscious zombie that had been smashed in the shoulder with a flower pot on the opposite balcony, Lu Bachuan said worriedly.
"Smash the head."
"What?" Zhou Yan's voice was a bit low, so Lu Baichuan didn't hear it.
After a pause, Zhou Yan explained: "Smashing the head may be useful, I met the group of people being chased by zombies in front of the bar this morning, and noticed that a girl hit the back of a zombie's head with a rivet bag, and the zombie fell down and never got up again."
As they were talking, Lu Jianguo came out of the house holding a radio and said, "I was just packing up and saw your grandfather's previous collection of this radio, but isn't there no signal now? Maybe this will work, Baichuan, come over and try it out."
Lu Bachuan's grandfather died a few years ago, some of the things his father collected before his death, and didn't throw them away, he is aware of this, this radio is still his college part-time summer job to get the first salary to buy it for his grandfather.
In the last century, he also saw a radio in the base, because after the zombie outbreak, for some unknown reason, all communication signals were interrupted, mobile phones, computers and other high-end communication tools can not be used, only the radio worked at that time.
Now, if they had a radio, they would be able to receive signals from outside even in the mountains, and at least learn more about the outside world through the radio, so they wouldn't be completely isolated from the world.
Lu Bachuan saw Zhou Yan run to the radio with a surprised face and then waited for him with his eyes wide open, he couldn't help but feel funny.
Lu Bachuan received the radio from his father and measured it, the radio was well put away and still looked like it was 80% new.
The radio is a dual-purpose battery and power supply, open the place where the battery is installed, the inside battery has been taken out, Lu Baichuan found a socket to plug in the plug, see his parents and Zhou Yan are looking at him nervously, can't help but also a bit infected by the atmosphere, take a deep breath, press the power button, hear the normal boot "click" sound, a few people can't help but be relieved! Took a breath.
The next step is to debug the channel, trying several common channels, all of which are rustling current sounds.
A few minutes passed and still no channel was found that was operating, Ye Yuan Rong saw the situation and got up, "You two take your time to try, it's almost noon, your father and I are going to cook first, didn't we say we would go out in the afternoon?"
The custom in their family had always been for the two parents to cook together.
So only Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan were left in the living room, with Lu Baichuan earnestly and slowly adjusting the frequency band, and Zhou Yan squatting beside him and watching.
The two of them finally heard an intermittent human voice in the rustling current sound, and were relieved, Lu Baichuan tried a few more times, and the sound gradually became clear.
The two of them finally heard the intermittent voices in the rustling current, not to be relieved, Lu Baichuan tried a few more, and the voice became clear.
It is not a long radio broadcast, just the same paragraph incessantly replayed, Lu Baichuan listened to the complete paragraph in no time.
It's the wounds on the body that come into contact with the walker that will infect it, with the fastest spread of which being bitten by a walker with walker saliva, which will infect the walker within a minute, and the other infections through wounds ranging from minutes to hours. Only by attacking the zombie's brain can the zombie be rendered completely immobile, and then it's a call for people all over the world to work together to destroy the zombie."
Zhou Yan knew all this information and said, "Let's still tune in and see if we can get our country's broadcast."
This time the European Qi is simply bursting at the seams, and only a moment later, he tuned in to a Chinese radio station, and the tone should be from a government department, the content of the broadcast is similar to the one heard in the US before, except that M's is calling on the people to go and destroy the zombies, while Z's is asking the people to stock up on food and water, and try to stay in a safe place to wait for help."
Turning the radio off, Lu Baichuan looked to remember the band number so that he could find it when he next listened.
Zhou Yan casually put the radio into the space.
At this time, Lu's parents had also almost finished cooking the meal, and they went over to set up the dishes, and soon the food was on the table, where they were told again about the radio they had just heard.
In the end, it was decided that in the afternoon, Lu Baichuan and Zhou Yan went out to collect some necessities, and Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong continued packing at home. Definitely not as good as the two youngsters, followed by the possibility that they might even be a burden to the two, and eventually had to stop.
