Chapter 2294: decision

Deguna drove very slowly, because there were a lot of cars on the road, and it would be troublesome if they hit too fast.
Although Deguna was a little surprised by what Gene just said, she actually felt the same way. It really seems that the muscles and skin of her body have become younger, and her energy has become much better. Some spots on her face have recently turned out to be Start to fall.
Gene on the side was already asleep, Deguna yawned and continued to drive the car seriously, and suddenly she stopped, and both Gene and Werther woke up.
In front of them is a truck, which is in the middle of the road. At this moment, the three of them are a little desperate. The three of them get out of the car immediately. There are some building materials in the truck's compartment. They have not found the key. It is an old truck, and they have no Any tool can dismantle the ignition of the truck.
"There must be food over there."
Just when Gu Yi and Tang Rao were a little helpless, Jean said, and the two of them immediately thought of it. The truck should have been parked for a long time. It should be more than 20 kilometers away from the village, so they can only walk. past.
Deguna reversed the car and parked the car. The three took their own water and squeezed directly from the place close to the mountain wall. Although I don't know why the truck was on the road, it is certain that it should be To stop some people going down this road to the mountain village.
Sure enough, after passing by, the three of them saw a car that had been blasted behind the truck, and several corpses, including some shell casings scattered on the ground, and several vehicles behind them, all of which had been shot to varying degrees. Immediately searched, and sure enough, several cars still had gasoline in them, and it seemed that they were lucky.
The village could hardly be seen from a distance, and the three of them could only walk along the road.
The road in front of him could barely see the head at a glance, and he still couldn't see the head when they walked. The three of them had been walking for almost an hour, and Werther finally couldn't help sitting on the ground.
"Take a break before walking, get up quickly and try not to sit down."
As Deguna said, Werther naturally knew that if he was too tired to sit down like this, he would easily become more and more tired. He got up with difficulty, and the three of them rested for a while and continued walking.
There were almost no conversations, and the three of them walked with their heads lowered. If this road is in good spirits, it would be no problem for the three of them.
Finally, the village can be seen on the distant hillside. It is now 11 o'clock in the evening, and the three of them can't help but sit down. The long looks at least seven or eight hundred meters away.
Gene was breathing heavily. He felt that his heart rate was a little too high, and he had to calm down. It was easy to die suddenly when he exercised so vigorously when he was weak and weak.
After half an hour, the three finally got up again. The long ramp looked only a short distance away, but after walking for a while, the three stopped again.
Deguna threw away the gun, she couldn't walk anymore, Gene moved forward step by step, the two rested temporarily, their bodies seemed to be split, the hunger during this time destroyed their health, If they can't find anything to eat, they will die.
More than ten minutes later, Gene climbed into the village. It was also a mess, but it looked promising. Gene stepped into the village first, and the doors of many houses were forcibly broken and opened. After entering, Gene was a little lost. No food.
After a while, Deguna and Werther also came up. There was sweat on their foreheads, and the water they brought was basically finished. The temperature was very low, and the three of them began to search quickly.
"It's saved."
Gene shouted. In a house next to a courtyard in the village, Gene saw a pile of dried corn. Werther and Deguna came over. The three of them looked at the pile of corn. At this moment, my heart is very excited.
There is no door or wall on the opposite side of the place where the other side's corn is. The left side looks like a place for raising pigs, but the pen is empty. These corns are all sun-dried, not moldy, but very hard.
"Make something to eat first."
Soon the three of them found a pot from a household, Werther built a stove with some scattered bricks, and found water from a well in the village. After opening, dried corn was put in.
But it was impossible for them to take all the corn with them, and because of the big truck, the car could not reach here smoothly, but now they are saved. Everyone bring food.
"Your guess is correct."
Deguna laughed, the corn in the pot was still turning, and an aroma floated out. This was the aroma of food that the three of them hadn't smelled for a long time.
Deguna couldn't help but grab one directly but Werther stopped her.
"Don't eat it yet. We are weak now. We have to boil the corn thoroughly before we eat it, otherwise we will definitely get intestinal diseases."
Witte got up and looked around again, and sure enough, he found a steamer. When the corn is boiled to a certain extent, it must be steamed. After all, the temperature of the water is too low, which is too slow.
I found some more salt and sugar, and Werther added it carefully. After a while, the corn was placed in the upper steamer, and a piece of gauze was placed under it. Soon the corn was put in.
After more than an hour, the corn was fully cooked, and the three of them ate their first hot meal after more than a month.
midnight 2am
Ellie woke up from hunger. Tang Rao, who was beside her, was sound asleep. She got up carefully, got some water and drank it, her stomach growling loudly.
She is a little worried now, Gene and the others are also very tired. If they can't find food when they go out, it will be troublesome, or if they encounter any problems on the way, Ellie dare not continue to think about it.
In the recent period of time, Ellie's body has actually recovered very well. She faintly feels that her body is different from the past, and so are other people, and Ellie always feels that there is something in her body, some kind of perception , more like a voice, talking to her, but Ellie couldn't hear or hear.
At first Ellie thought it was a hallucination, but now Ellie knew it wasn't, and Ellie became anxious because she was very worried about Gene and the others. Although Gene said it was fine, Ellie knew very well that along the way, Gene took care of them. Food and water are distributed to others as much as possible, and will also be given to myself.
"What's the matter, Ellie, what time is it?"
Tang Rao got up from the bed, Rose also woke up at this time, and the three of them were hungry.
"I'm worried about them."
"If we are lucky, no problem, if we are unlucky, we can only do as Li Chu said."
Tang Rao held down Rose's head.
"Don't say such depressing words."
Rose smiled awkwardly, looking at Ellie's worried look.
"Sorry Ellie, I was joking."
The three lived in the bedroom on the second floor of the small building, while Gu Yi and Li Chu lived below. At this time, they also woke up because of the conversation and noise of the three.
The five people gathered in the living room, and the lighting connected to the chemical battery made by Gu Yi came on.
It was already 2:40, but the three people who went out had not returned. Li Chu stood at the door and looked out of the town. If he saw the light, it meant that they had returned.
Just when the five were at a loss, a light came from a distance, and Li Chu shouted in surprise.
"They're back."
The five left the house and went directly to the entrance of the town. After a while, the car slowly drove over. After seeing two small sacks in the car, Li Chu realized that he had found food.
"Hurry up and eat."
There was also some warm corn mash in a pot, which gave the five people an instant appetite.
"Eat slowly. If you eat too fast, it will damage your body. Try to restrain yourself as much as possible."
Witt reminded that the five people found bowls and spoons from some rooms and began to eat, and they hadn't eaten hot food for more than a month.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the eight people were drinking hot tea with a comfortable face, waiting for the dawn.
"Let's cultivate for a few days first, and when we have the strength, go to the mountains to find some medicinal materials. After all, our body is very weak."
As Werther spoke, everyone laughed happily. Deguna looked at everyone with a serious expression, indicating that the corn there was enough for them to eat for a month or two, but the key was where to go next.
"I still feel like going directly to AS, because it's not too far from here, we just need to be fully prepared."
Werther still felt that he should go to the United States.
Li Chu felt that they should just walk along the road. If they could find a suitable place, they would directly use it as a shelter. After all, they have survived crisis after crisis with their professional knowledge along the way.
The situation now is to find a place that can be a foothold for at least the next few years, otherwise they have no future to speak of.
"Go to the highest place. At an altitude of 5,000 meters, the energy consumption of the sun's rays will be much less."
As Gene said, everyone thought about it. It is indeed a good idea, but it is really difficult to get past, and I don't know what will happen along the way.
"I hope everyone can consider it carefully. Once we choose this time, I am afraid there will be no turning back. No matter what we encounter on the road, we must move forward."
Gu Yi said a word, Rose looked at the seven people, she actually had no opinion, she was the youngest in the group, and she followed them wherever they went.
When the sky was slightly brighter, everyone returned to the house, planning to rest until noon to eat something, and start to exercise. As long as they can eat enough, they must exercise.
1pm
The corn is boiled in the steaming pot. They plan to live in the mountain village after a day or two, and then find a way to make cornmeal, which is then mixed with sugar, salt and water for fermentation, air-dried and then compressed. , make corn into dried corn, so that it can be carried on the body.
But on the question of where to go, everyone is actually hesitant, because this is their last decision. In the past, they still had a chance, because the planet has not completely cooled down, but now it is different. Humans seem to disappear overnight. It's gone, and the animals are basically gone.
Wherever you go, you see corpses and dilapidated cities, and even if there are still people alive, it has become chaotic.
In the past four months, they have seen how human beings have become crazy step by step. Under such a doomsday, there are very few people who can stay awake.
After everyone had eaten, they began to walk in the town, talking about it as they walked, especially the information about the state of the countries before the disaster, Deguna still suggested to go to AS, because the straight line is very close to the past.
"Make a decision as soon as possible. Where to go next, if we still can't make a decision in a short time, it will be difficult for us to devote 100% of our energy to preparations."
Rose said directly.
"Listen to me, go to AS, that place should be the best shelter."
There was hesitation on everyone's faces, and Gene said with a relaxed smile.
"Then have you ever thought about it, the sun will disappear in a few months."
Gu Yi said his calculations, the sun may disappear completely in 5 months at most, but there may be some special circumstances.
"There is another problem, the problem of water sources. At such a low temperature, the rivers in the high and cold areas have frozen, and in the coastal areas, many water sources may have been polluted. How can we ensure drinking water in the future? "
Everyone began to explain the solution, but these solutions were always just on paper, and had not been tested on the spot, so this was where everyone was entangled.
"The ship is in ruins. We can't guarantee that we won't encounter a storm when we cross the ocean. We were lucky last time, but not so lucky the next time."
Deguna sighed and handed Gene a cigarette. After they lit each, they looked in different directions.
"If you don't listen to Gene, let's go to the higher ground. Most of the coastal cities have been submerged, and higher places can buy us time."
Gu Yi said, he knows Y continent best, Werther looked solemn, he closed his eyes, and then said.
"When it comes time to decide, let's vote."
Rose spoke first.
"Raise your hand in favor of going to the plateau."
Both Rose and Gu Yi raised their hands, as did Jean and Ellie, Deguna, Li Chu and Werther did not raise their hands, and everyone on the left and right looked at Tang Rao.
"Gene told me, why do you want to be there?"
Tang Rao asked solemnly, if they go from the land, they still need to go through a lot, because some humans may have formed groups and everything from each other under the apocalypse.
Tang Rao didn't want to experience this kind of chaos anymore, Gene scratched his head and then let out a breath of smoke.
"Because when we fell, I saw that the light on the land was dazzling, it should be a large area of ​​agricultural fields."
Gu Yi also nodded. In the past, they had successfully cultivated a large area of ​​farmland on the plateau of their country.
"Okay, I'll trust you once, Gene."
Tang Rao raised his hand and Ellie said with a smile.
"In this way, 5 people agree, and there is no need to discuss the next place."
Both Li Chu and Werther nodded, and Deguna was a little angry when he hesitated, but in the end she nodded.
"Sorry, this is not the army now."
After discussing everything, it is much simpler. Everyone has a clear division of labor and starts to raise various aspects. Gu Yi has to prepare a large number of chemical batteries first, so that they have electricity to start the electric car.
Obviously, the car can't sit so many people, so the car has to be modified. In this regard, Jean and Deguna can do it. Then, Ellie and Werther will make and process the dry food, while Tang Rao and Li Chu are in charge. Collect some communication materials to make a simple signal detection and communication device.
Rose will help Gu Yi to search for raw materials for making some chemicals.
But the main problem at the moment is to move the big truck across the mountain road. This time, Li Chu followed Deguna Jean and Werther. They also brought tools, the kind of primitive electronic ignition. It is not difficult to start the truck, just turn on the part where the electronic ignition is connected to the engine, and it is easy to start the car.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the vicinity of the truck. After using tools to disassemble the part under the steering wheel of the truck, Li Chu directly took the tools and cut the connected wires, while Deguna held the steering wheel.
However, after many attempts, there was no way to succeed. After a while, Li Chu said with a solemn expression.
"It should be that the frequency is broken, there is no way, unless the frequency can be repaired, otherwise..."
"Go out."
Deguna said and took a large bag of weapons directly, Li Chu knew what she was going to do.
"It's better to keep weapons for use."
"Save some energy, we must rest now, otherwise there will be problems with our bodies."
It is true that if the truck's electric frequency is removed and repaired, it will be a torture for them. It takes a lot of energy and corresponding materials that can be repaired.
There is no fuel in the tank of the truck, so I have to collect a little bit of gasoline.
Deguna tied a bunch of high-explosive hands together, and then used a long slender rope to make the mechanism. After measuring the current position of the truck with the rope, Gene told Deguna the force point. Probably somewhere.
Soon after the grenade was placed, everyone drove the car a little further, Deguna pulled the grenade, and after a while, with a loud bang, the truck moved under the impetus of the huge blasting force, and then directly due to its own weight. fell into the valley.
The truck was cleaned up, but the road surface had been blasted out of shape. Everyone started to clean up some gravel, and the car was just able to pass.
"Weapons can also be collected on the road."
Deguna said, everyone nodded.
The car started again, and they had to go to the village to find a suitable house to clean up, and then after a few days of work in the town was done, they went directly to the village with tools to cultivate.
