Chapter 152 152 "People in the Apocalypse Are as Dangerous as Natural Disasters."

Chapter 152 152· “People in the apocalypse are as dangerous as natural disasters.”

December 1, 2024, Fashou time, 3:20 in the morning - three hours and twenty minutes have passed since the earthquake disaster began to spread in Fashou.

"Is there anything?"

Father Qin walked out of the room holding a mountaineering pickaxe, holding several cans that had not been completely thawed. Because his hands were a little frozen, he looked up at Qin who came out of the next room through a handkerchief. Duo Mian asked.

"No, this room should have been a baby's room before. There is nothing left in it that we can use." Qin Duomian shook his head and responded after coughing twice.

The father and son of the Qin family relied on enough supplies for the two of them to survive for a month, the reasonable renovation of their small house, and Father Qin's relatively rational brain. They successfully brought his somewhat ineffective son, who is still depressed, to a successful life. I have survived until now and survived the ice disaster.

It's just that this month has been very hard.

Both Qin Duomian and himself feel something is wrong with their bodies now.

Qin's father felt that the joints all over his body were sore and painful, while his son felt more discomfort and his mental state was also very depressed. They felt that if they went to the hospital for a full physical examination now, they would definitely be diagnosed with all the diseases. Something wrong.

But... at least he survived until now.

This alone has surpassed at least 90% of the people in the city of Fashou.

This is just one of at least twelve disasters. After surviving the ice disaster, what the Qin family and his son need to consider is how to survive the earthquake.

Theoretically speaking, at this time, moving to the interior of the mainland, changing one's residence, or even leaving Fashou directly - there is probably no boundary line now, is the most cost-effective way to deal with it.

But let’s not mention that the two of them don’t have any vehicles at all now. There are indeed many ‘wild’ ones on the roadside, but most of them are scrapped or do not have keys.

But in fact, even if it exists, its use is very limited, because the current road surface in Fashou is simply not something that cars can drive on normally.

Before the era of natural disaster really came, the situation in Blue Star Seven Alliance was relatively bad. There were many obstacles formed by debris on the road due to car accidents, shootings, malicious interceptions and other incidents. These obstacles were then frozen and accumulated ice. , the so-called road now is more difficult to walk than the mountain road.

Even if two people use their feet like now, they still need to rely on the tools in their hands to ensure safe walking.

The aircraft was not available. After clarifying this logic, Qin's father made a decisive decision to continue to survive in this city.

After making this decision, the two of them immediately left the small room that had been occupied for almost a month when the temperature almost rose yesterday to collect supplies.

——The supplies accumulated before are almost enough for the ice disaster. If they are not increased, not to mention the earthquake, hunger will kill the two of them in December.

At the same time, the two people also plan to find new rooms in the city to build their own shelter in the earthquake.

The original one was too small, filled with filthy things, and had no particularly good countermeasures against earthquakes.

This city is almost empty anyway, so why bother staying in it for another month?

The current method of collecting supplies is also very simple - just find a house or room that seems to have no trace of recent life, violently break in through the door or window, and start raiding.

To be honest, the harvest is quite abundant. Although the so-called abundant supplies were not worth more than ten thousand before the ice disaster, they can indeed save lives now.

Some people died suddenly - there are still many liberals in the Western world who are superstitious or think that the Era of Natural Disasters is a joke. They died painfully and uneasily, but each of them left some supplies.

These supplies perfectly retained their original appearance during the Ice Disaster and are completely accessible.

Qin's father and Qin Duomian's full backpacks are the best proof of the harvest of this trip.

"Duo Mian! Let's go! The earthquake seems to be coming!" When Qin's father saw that the beads he had placed on the ground outside as a warning suddenly began to tremble, he, who was still holding his breath, immediately shouted to his son. : "Go to the nearest park site!"

It’s not like they like to walk on a tightrope. They have to take the risk of walking into these reinforced concrete jungles and risk becoming ruins together with them, even though they know that the earthquake will soon reach their area.

It’s really because they will die if they don’t have supplies, and “Hope”’s previously public prophecy clearly states that earthquakes in all places will be mild at first and then become more severe, so there is still enough buffer time.

After an earthquake, it will be much more difficult to collect supplies from the ruins than it is now, and the risk will also increase.

So now we have to do this.

"Got it." Qin Duomian nodded, followed behind his father, and ran toward the outside world with a flashlight.

The park is not far from here. After a month of freezing, the park no longer looks like a park. There are ice blocks everywhere that have not been cleaned and have not completely melted.

"Dad, that is..."

Qin Duomian's eyes widened, he pointed forward and said with some surprise.

In the direction he pointed, a man appeared. Judging from his appearance, he was a white man with magic hands, carrying a bloated-looking backpack.

In the darkness of the night, the searchlight above his head was actually somewhat dim, but it was quite eye-catching at this time.

This is the first time Qin Duomian has seen a living person besides himself and his father in this month, so he still feels surprised and not 'alone'.

"Dad, let's go up and ask about the situation, where he comes from..." Qin Duomian said excitedly.

"Don't say anything yet, and don't go over." Qin's father actually discovered this person earlier than his son, and the other person also discovered him and was looking at him. He stretched out his hand to stop the man who was about to move forward. Son, said in a low voice.

The three people looked at each other, and finally the man opposite took the lead in turning his head away, no longer looking at the Qin family father and son, and moved some distance away from the two of them.

When Qin's father saw this, he took Qin Duomian and sat down on the other side, facing him sideways to ensure that if the other party made any move, he would notice it immediately.

"Dad, why don't we go up and ask each other about each other's situation?" Qin Duomian asked unwillingly.

He really wanted to talk to someone other than his father.

"The other party has no intention of talking to us, so forget it."

Father Qin shook his head, extinguished the flashlight and put it back in his backpack.

But when he said this, his eyes were still looking at the other person, not at Qin Duomian.

The hand holding the mountaineering pick turned white from the tight grip.

After being silent for half a minute, Qin's father spoke again: "Duo Mian... I'll keep you in my bag..."

At this time, a new conversation sound appeared in the distance. Father Qin stopped talking and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that several more humans were coming here.

"Dad, what's in my bag?" Qin Duomian asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, no need. There are new people here. It seems that they are survivors nearby. After sensing the earthquake, they all gathered in the safest place to take refuge." Qin's father shook his head and pointed to the distance. , eyes wary.

The facts were similar to what he said. In just three minutes, two more groups of people appeared here.

Everyone was scattered around the park in unison, and no one started a conversation with the stranger at the first time.

Qin's father suddenly stood up, pulled Qin Duomian up, and said in a low voice: "Let's go."

"Huh? Dad? Let's go? Where?"

Qin Duomian, who was already leaning on the stone pillar, was suddenly pulled up. He looked at his father in confusion and asked in confusion.

"Isn't this the safest place in the neighborhood during an earthquake?" he wondered.

A few minutes passed, and the earthquake was no longer something that only smooth beads could feel. At this moment, the ground had obviously begun to shake. If you walked carelessly, you might fall down while walking.

"Let's go first!" Qin's father didn't explain too much. He pulled Qin Duomian and ran directly into the reinforced concrete jungle where the danger level was rising sharply.

Taking his son back the way he had come, Father Qin ran straight to a warehouse and hid in it.

This is a right-angled triangle, the roof is a slope, and there are no too high buildings on either side. It should not collapse in the early earthquake disaster.

This is a place he has spotted and marked before, so he is very familiar with how to enter.

But Qin's father, who was still a little worried, huddled under a table with Qin Duomian and moved to the window, forming multiple insurances.

"That park is no longer safe, it's dangerous right now in my eyes."

After doing everything he could and leaving the rest to God's will, Qin's father took a deep breath, turned to look at the confused Qin Duomian beside him, and explained slowly.

"Danger...what happened?"

"The last group of people who have not yet sat down, there are five of them, they are all men and very strong, and if I read it correctly, one of them has a gun on his waist, and the others Men also carry weapons.

They gave me a feeling that they were not easy to deal with, and they kept looking at other people in the park with aggressive eyes. I was worried that they would attack us, so I might as well hide here. "

"Probably...not..." Qin Duomian thought for a moment, and halfway through his denial, he chose silence with some unconfidence.

As for.

"No? Why not? For us lone wolves, when we are trying to survive in the apocalypse, humans are as dangerous as natural disasters.

If two bullets can get the results of two people's efforts for a day or more, it is completely profitable. and……"

Father Qin's eyes suddenly became more sinister:

"Didn't you just ask me what I asked you to take from the bag? I'm telling you now, what I want you to take is a knife. I originally wanted to kill the first man with you!

I looked at it and found that he didn't carry any weapons on the surface, and he wasn't very strong. It was only after a new person appeared later that I gave up the idea. "

"This this……"

Qin Duomian was a little frightened by his father's sudden change in tone. He stammered and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He really didn't expect that just now, his father had hidden murderous intentions and planned to invite him to do it together.

Qin's father restrained his emotions, turned to look at his son, shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"How encouraging. If a person wants to get ahead, he must be ruthless enough. When doing business, ruthlessness will lead to bloodshed, but when it comes to survival, it is normal to be ruthless and ruthless.

In the apocalypse, the Holy Mother deserves to die, the weak will die, and those who are not ruthless will never survive. If you didn't have me by your side, I'm afraid you would be a corpse now, alas——"

Hearing this, Qin Duomian opened his mouth, but did not say anything to refute. After all, he still knew how much he weighed, and he also knew that what his father said was true.

"I know." He responded dully.

The tables and chairs were already shaking, and the frost on the roof fell, making a rustling sound.

Both of them tightened their bodies in tacit agreement, trying to get a sense of security through this method.

"I hope that the things we left at home will not be completely buried in the ruins." Perhaps to ease the quiet environment, Qin's father said.

"Um."

Seeing that his son had no desire to talk and the earthquake was still going on, Qin's father took out one of the trophies from his backpack - a radio.

Then I started to adjust the knob above, trying to find the surrounding channels that were still operating.

But unfortunately, after carefully searching all the bands, he only heard the endless sound of snowflakes. It seemed that none of Fashou's local radio stations, even the official ones, were still operating normally.

There was no channel left to get in touch with the outside world. From the first day they came to Fashou, he and his son had become an existence outside the collective.

Just a homeless ghost.

But who can you blame?

It was the wild ghosts who abandoned their homes.

Although he received no response, Qin's father carefully put the radio away.

Maybe.

Maybe one day there will be an official broadcast or a private radio station.

This kind of situation should not happen in Dongguo.

Father Qin thought so after putting away the radio.

Human beings always like comparison. Father Qin knows that regret is useless and meaningless, but he can't help but think so.

Although he has no idea about the current situation in Dongguo, he had been listening to Dongguo's broadcasts when there was still the Internet.

——Modern radio is no longer limited to one city. Through satellite, it can be easily broadcast around the world, so during that time, Father Qin has been listening.

Dongguo once told Dongguo on this channel that it would continue to operate and provide some news to Dongguo.

Don't know if it does what it promises.

It's a pity that I can't witness it.

The earthquake is still continuing, and it seems that it will not end for a while, just like the ice wave in the Ice Disaster, it will last for a long time.

In order to save electricity, Father Qin put out the flashlight again, raised his head and felt the trembling table. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Duomian, can you sleep? If you can, you go to sleep first. If you can't, I go to bed first. Now we have to ensure that one of us is awake and we can only take turns to rest."

"I'm a little scared now and can't sleep. Besides, I've slept too much in the past month. Dad, please go to sleep first."

Qin Duomian answered honestly.

"OK."

Qin's father's heart was several orders of magnitude larger than Qin Dumian's.

Put on the hat, lean directly against the wall and fall asleep.

It’s been a long time since I had a dream, but it was just a nightmare.
