Both Lao Lin and Lao Zhao also saw Tang Xiaoquan's thoughts. The two called the latter and gathered together to have a brief discussion on the current urgent situation.
"In terms of supplies, in terms of food, there are 2 bags of instant noodles, half a bag of biscuits and bits and pieces of small packaged snacks. As for water, except for the moldy cold water in the thermos bottles. We also have almost 3 bottles of mineral water and 2 bottles of water. Canned drinks.”
After listening to Zhao Yunhai's inventory, Lin Junfu and Tang Xiaoquan both had solemn expressions on their faces.
There is no doubt that the situation is worse than they imagined! Not to mention anything else, the scarce water source alone forced them to make a decision:
Either rush out risking your life and fight your way out; or stay in the urban management bureau and wait for the day when supplies run out.
But no matter which one, for the current survivors, it is endless darkness, with no light in sight.
Sure enough, after discussing for a long time, Lin, Tang and Zhao did not come up with a relatively feasible result.
"Forget it! Now that things have come to this, in my opinion, let's just rush out and fight him!" Seeing that there was no possibility of reversal, Lin Junfu simply "break the pot and throw it away."
Zhao Yunhai also agreed with this and echoed: "Yes! What Lao Lin said is right. Staying here will mean death. We might as well give him a try. Maybe we can run a few more. Even if he collapses, he will be heroic." , that’s better than sitting here waiting to die!”
Tang Xiaoquan looked at the two elders. To be honest, in terms of his own psychology, he was extremely reluctant to adopt the almost "suicide" method mentioned by the other party.
But the cruel reality forced Tang Xiaoquan to admit that "fighting" might really be their last way to gain "vital life".
The discussion fell into dead silence for a while. Tang, Wang and Lin all frowned and remained silent. Finally, Lin Junfu broke the silence.
"Okay! Now that things have reached this point, let's not be too depressed, so as not to worry other brothers. In this way... let's think about it calmly and see if there is a better solution! If there is really no, Then do as we just said!"
Lin Junfu tried his best to make his voice sound as soothing as possible, but Tang Xiaoquan and Zhao Yunhai both knew in their hearts that unless a miracle happened,...
"Okay, let's do this for now. What about that? Xiao Tang, go tell Zhao Huilong and ask him to take a moment to take a bath in the water room. The smell on his body..." He made an exaggerated sweeping motion. Tang Xiaoquan understood. , Lao Zhao was deliberately trying to lighten the atmosphere, so he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to him right now."
After hearing this, Lao Zhao nodded affirmatively, then pointed to the crossing ahead, and then added: "Then let's split up and I'll find clothes for him."
Zhao Huilong's situation is more than a little better than Hu Xiaodong's. In his own words, he now feels like he has been reborn. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also reflects from one aspect how miserable and terrifying the time he has experienced in the past two months has been.
After a peaceful night's sleep, Zhao Huilong was now able to walk on the ground under his own power, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Huilong dared to boldly suggest that he take a bath.
However, maybe it's because he's been alone for too long, or maybe he's too lonely. In short, since this morning, Zhao Huilong has been pestering people to talk like a lunatic. You must know that his breath is not even at this moment. After saying a few words, he will start to gasp.
Therefore, most of the time, what you see is other people talking and listening. But for the survivors who are currently in internal and external difficulties, most of them have no such interest, except for Wang Qiang, a more nervous guy.
No, from far away, Tang Xiaoquan heard his brother's eloquent talk, and it was not difficult to judge from the excited tone of his words that he was most likely bragging about his "glorious deeds" again.
Shaking his head helplessly, Tang Xiaoquan walked to the door where Zhao Huilong was. The two of them were having a good time, so much so that they didn't even notice that a living person like Tang Xiaoquan was standing at the door.
In response, Tang Xiaoquan could only smile helplessly. He locked the door and coughed twice to signal his arrival.
Wang Qiang was slightly startled by the sudden sound, and the right hand he had just raised froze in mid-air. He glanced at the door in surprise, and then a faint blush appeared on his tired face.
"You~oh, it's Quan Zi, why are you here?"
Seeing his brother's slightly embarrassed look, Tang Xiaoquan found it a little funny. It was obvious that the latter was ashamed of his "speech" that he had "embellished".
so……
Walking in front of Wang Qiang in a serious manner, Tang Xiaoquan pretended to raise his head inexplicably, and then said in a joking tone: "Why, can't I come? Or am I disturbing your lecture!"
As soon as the word "lecture" came out, Wang Qiang became even more at a loss. In response, he pushed Tang Xiaoquan with his palm. Of course, the force of this palm was not very strong. It was mainly to let the latter know how to "talk nonsense". Ending: "Okay! Don't look for trouble! Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Tang Xiaoquan, who knew his brother's temper, knew that the jokes should be stopped, otherwise the latter's personality would really make him "angry".
So he didn't waste any time and explained his purpose straight to the point: "I'm here to see Brother Long, so what, Brother Long, how are you recovering now?"
"It's okay, I just don't have the strength!" Zhao Huilong was honest. After saying this, he stood up and took two steps, as if he wanted to prove his condition.
Seeing the latter walking around "relaxedly", Tang Xiaoquan's last concern was eliminated, and he repeated Lao Zhao's suggestion: "In that case, you go to Chaozi next door to get a bucket of water, and then go to the water room to wash yourself briefly. , Uncle Zhao will get you a new set of clothes when the time comes."
After saying this, Zhao Huilong subconsciously raised his arms and sniffed his armpits. To be honest, spending a long time in the storage room where feces and urine flowed has made him accustomed to the disgusting smell, so he has not been smelling it all this time. So feel any discomfort.
But now, having "become a new human being", he still answered in the affirmative with understanding.
Watching Zhao Huilong walk out of the room with unnatural steps, Wang Qiang felt embarrassed again. After all, the big words he just said were really nonsense.
So after thinking for a few seconds, he used the excuse of helping the other party to carry water and wanted to leave.
But before he could reach the door, he heard Tang Xiaoquan behind him suddenly grab his arm, and at the same time he shouted in a slightly mysterious voice:
"Qiangzi! Just wait a moment!!"
