Lin Chuan pulled Jiang Chen almost all the way and ran wildly. The only time he paused was to let Jiang Chen show the way. Jiang Chen was obviously not used to this way of moving, but the strength in Lin Chuan's hand surprised him, and he couldn't break free. "We're here." Jiang Chen gasped and stretched out his hand to point out a small entrance to Lin Chuan. It was a reservoir in a community. The pool was buried deep underground, with only a small rectangular entrance and exit exposed, covered with a concrete cover. "Come in." Jiang Chen opened the concrete cover with force and took the lead to climb down. When Lin Chuan came down, he climbed up again to reset the cover, and then stuck a long iron rod on the handle under the cover. "This way the monsters won't be able to get in." His voice said proudly in the darkness. He started squatting underground to light a fire. Lin Chuan turned his head and secretly observed the situation in the pool. The pool is about four meters high, and about five meters long and wide. The entrance is close to the wall on one side. On one side of the wall is a thick water inlet pipe, and on the other side are several water extraction pipes. There were some boxes scattered on the ground, and a roll of bedding was randomly placed on the side near the water pipe. Where Jiang Chen squatted was a small fire pit, with a simple shelf made of angle iron on it, and some firewood was piled scattered on it. Next to it, there were several pots and bottles and jars, and a large black mark on the ceiling. Lin Chuan guessed that he should have lived here for a long time. "Okay!" Jiang Chen said happily, and a ball of fire ignited. He gently lay on the ground and blew, and the flames quickly engulfed the wood placed on it. "Aren't you feeling depressed?" Lin Chuan asked. "Those tubes all lead to the outside at the back, and the cover above them can let some air in, so it's okay." Jiang Chen replied. He put a pot on the fire, then smiled and picked up a radio from a nearby shelf. Lin Chuan couldn¡¯t wait to take it. "Welcome everyone back. I believe that the song just now made your heart surge. We must firmly believe that the suffering life is only temporary. As long as we have faith and persevere to the end, we will definitely see the day when victory comes! Next, we continue to introduce the common wild vegetables in winter in East China" The long-lost standard Mandarin made Lin Chuan sit there blankly. He didn't know where the speaker was or how far away he was. He didn't even notice him. What was he talking about, but at this moment, he felt like he was back in the past. This voice from afar represents order, civilization and hope, but it is so unreal that it is unbelievable. Jiang Chen patted his shoulder, and he woke up again. "What about you" he asked hesitantly. "Is there any more?" Without saying a word, Lin Chuan took out two pieces of compressed dry food from his bag and threw them to him. Jiang Chen happily opened a bag, carefully broke it into pieces and put it in the pot. "What are you doing?" Lin Chuan asked. "I picked a lot of shepherd's purse in the morning, and I cooked it enough for the two of us to have a big meal!" Jiang Chen replied. Lin Chuan didn¡¯t say anything. He listened to the radio and watched him squatting in front of the fire pit and busy. "Have you lived alone for a long time?" he couldn't help asking. Jiang Chen¡¯s movements slowed down a bit. "It's okay." He replied pretending to be nonchalant. "If you can live for a day, count it as a day." "Have you been active in this area?" Lin Chuan asked. Jiang Chen nodded. "Are there many people around?" Jiang Chen raised his head, and Lin Chuan saw confusion on his expression. ¡°I have always stayed underground or moved around the shelter, and I didn¡¯t see many people from other teams.¡± Lin Chuan explained. Jiang Chen nodded silently. "Then you must be lucky," he said. "There were a lot of people at the beginning, but now there are almost none." "All dead?" Lin Chuan asked in a low voice. "Most of them died, mostly eaten by monsters, or starved to death, or died of illness, or were beaten to death while fighting for things A group of them went to Chongzhou Island a month ago, but I think they If you can't go that far, you'll probably die on the way." "Chongzhou Island?" Lin Chuan asked. "You don't know?" Jiang Chen shook his head. "The radio has been saying for a while that Chongzhou Island and Zhoushan Islands are the only places in East China that still insist on resistance. Several troops guarding Jianghai retreated to those places after the defense line was breached. They used the sea and rivers as barriers to keep the monsters away. Blocked out. There is land, food and water, and many weapons. It is said that there are?Factory. For some time, the radio has been saying that the troops are reorganizing in those places and will counterattack soon. But they haven't said that in the past month, and they probably don't believe such lies anymore. " "Where did the central government move to? Did you say that on the radio? Jiang Chen shook his head. "Anyway, it's always in those desolate places in the west. The radio never says that any place in the west is safe. It only says that there are places in the east that are still holding on. Probably because they are afraid that we will all go west and attract the monsters." past. It's so far apart, who would go there unless they were crazy? " "Have they said any rescue plan? " Jiang Chen shook his head again. "You heard it too, just let us persist, persist, keep faith, and tell us how to survive. All day long, we are broadcasting how to make simple traps, how to make weapons, how to keep out the cold, or whatever. What can be eaten, what cannot be eaten, and how to make things that are originally inedible edible. They never said anything practical, when they would be able to fight back, when they would have relief supplies, nothing! It¡¯s all up to us! " "We have been abandoned. " He stirred the pot vigorously and whispered. "Their purpose of broadcasting these is just to let us live a few more days so that those monsters can stay here. " His words made Lin Chuan's heart feel cold, and the hope he finally had was quickly extinguished. At this time, the news began to broadcast. Jiang Chen also fell silent, and the two of them stared at the little boy in the flickering firelight. The radio was listening to a man and a woman talking about what happened. Even at this time, the content of the news was still the same as before: a certain leader was inspecting the production of logistics supplies in a certain place, and a certain leader was inspecting a certain unit. Regarding the situation of combat readiness and recovery, a certain leader went to the front line of the disaster area to inspect the relief work and visited the affected people. A certain leader had cordial talks with certain political figures to discuss response strategies. In short, the leaders are very busy, and the preparations for the western counterattack are being carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone. Don¡¯t lose confidence. It wasn¡¯t until the second half of the news that we started to talk about some specific things. The giant monster tide still stayed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta. Some medium-sized monster tides stayed in the capitals of the previous provinces. Signs of movement. Scientists have discovered a new mutant creature, tentatively named the giant fruit bat. It is an omnivorous mutant creature currently discovered. It can fly nearly a thousand kilometers day and night and has caused the spread of viruses on several islands in the South China Sea. Reminder People taking shelter on coastal islands should pay attention. Vaccine development has entered a new stage and is expected to enter the human testing stage next spring. A nuclear bomb was detonated again in the northern mountainous area of ??the Baekje Peninsula. This is the third time on the Baekje Peninsula since the Seoul nuclear explosion and the Pyongyang nuclear explosion. A nuclear explosion may cause radioactive dust pollution in Northeast, North and East China within a few days. Experts will give a special lecture after the news to teach everyone how to avoid radioactive harm. "Jiang Chen couldn't help but cursed. "Is Baekje trying to drag us to death? " Lin Chuan didn't say anything. What followed were all about foreign content. He had no intention of listening to those things. There was absolutely no content on the radio that he expected. Although he also knew that it was unrealistic, this feeling of abandonment made him feel uncomfortable. He felt very depressed. He reached out to turn off the radio, but Jiang Chen blocked it. "The weather forecast is the most important thing." "He said to Lin Chuan. "Although it is more inaccurate than before, it is better than nothing. " The two of them listened in silence until they heard the content "Jianghai, sunny, one to nine degrees" before Jiang Chen turned off the radio. "You don't want to listen to the content about radiation protection? " "It's no use listening to it, I don't have that condition. "Jiang Chen shook his head and began to scoop out the contents of the pot. "Eat it. " He handed Lin Chuan a bowl and ate from the pot with big mouthfuls. There was no oil and only a small amount of salt, which made it difficult for Lin Chuan, who was used to the skills of the chefs in the base, to swallow, but when he saw Jiang Chen wolfed them down, finally swallowing them in big gulps: ¡°You¡¯ve never been hungry, have you? "After eating, Jiang Chen asked with a satisfied look on his face. "I have been hungry for a long time, but my luck has been better recently. " Lin Chuan replied. Jiang Chen sighed with envy. "Can you take me there? " He asked in a begging tone. "I will not cause you any trouble. I will work hard. I know a lot of things" "I want to find my lost companions first. "Lin Chuan can't bear it. He thinks there is no problem in accepting him, but he doesn't want to go back yet, at least not until he knows what happened to him. "I will come here to find you after I find them, and then we will go back together." He said to Jiang Chen. In the darkness, Jiang Chen had a strange expression on his face. He grinned reluctantly, then gritted his teeth and nodded. "Okay then!" he whispered. Lin Chuan felt that he might have misunderstood what he meant and thought it was an excuse to reject him, but he hesitated and felt that it was difficult for him to explain clearly. It would be easier to explain to him when he came back, so he didn't Say anything more. "Would you like some water?" Jiang Chen asked. Lin Chuan nodded. Jiang Chen took a cup from the side and poured him a glass of water. In the trembling firelight, he watched Lin Chuan drink up the water carefully, nodded and said, "Go to sleep." Lin Chuan originally wanted to talk to him about what happened in Jiang Hai, but at this time he was no longer in the mood. Jiang Chen shook off the bedding and found a corner to sleep. "I will come back to you." He defended one last time. "I believe you." Jiang Chen replied in a low voice. Lin Chuan's body no longer needs sleep. He watched the fire slowly extinguish, thinking about tomorrow's itinerary and recalling the information he heard on the radio and from Jiang Chen's mouth. There was a huge beast passing by. It sniffed the cover, but did not stop and trotted away. Lin Chuan gradually became a little sleepy, and he began to close his eyes. At this time, he heard Jiang Chen get up gently. "Are you asleep?" Jiang Chen asked in a very slight voice. "Hello?" Lin Chuan felt a little strange. Such a small voice didn't sound like he was trying to wake someone up. He didn¡¯t move, so Jiang Chen crawled to the corner. Lin Chuan heard him take out something and slowly crawled over.
