After several persuasion, and finally even Hu Xiaodong personally participated in the battle, Hua Biao was reluctantly persuaded.
After exhaling a long breath, Tang Xiaoquan slumped down on the seat. After recovering a little, he picked up his mobile phone and instructed Qiangzi: "Qiang, please tell Lao Xu that we will take the first step to reassure him. We will definitely complete the set tasks. At the same time, we ask them to wait patiently. In a week at most, we will come back with equipment to rescue them."
A moment later, Wang Qiang received a message from Lao Xu, which contained only four words: "Bon voyage."
Under the moonlight, Lao Xu and Lei Tong watched the two cars slowly leave in the distance.
When the car body disappeared from sight, Lao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
gone! Finally gone!
After all, what Lao Xu was worried about didn't happen, which undoubtedly made him feel a little relieved.
Lao Xu closed the half-open window again and drew the curtains, and the bedroom fell into darkness.
"Click!" A weak flame lit up, and Lei Tong lit a candle in time.
The swaying flames stretched the figures of several people very long, and there was an indescribable strange atmosphere among the shadows.
"You're hungry, let's get something to eat."
Taking out the chocolates, Old Xu handed one to the young man.
The young man looked at Lao Xu but did not make a move, seeming hesitant.
At this, Old Xu Wan'er smiled: "People are iron, food is steel. No matter what happens, never have trouble with yourself. Remember, only when you are alive can you have the capital to talk about other things. I will put the things here for you, if you still want to Go find the person you are worried about and eat him yourself.”
After saying these words, Lao Xu led Lei Tongxing out of the bedroom.
As a company-level cadre, Lao Xu had to "reform" a lot of thorns.
The reason why he is so "cold" towards the young man who is rescuing him right now is precisely because he has a strong liking for the young man.
That's why he took a cold approach. However, Lei Tong understood that his company commander was deliberately polishing the young man to help him learn how to survive in the apocalypse.
Make a fire and cook. An unusually common thing, this is not a problem at all in our real life.
But in the last days, in the harsh environment of no water and electricity, even such a simple thing becomes extremely complicated.
But fortunately, Lao Xu. Lei Tong are both wilderness survival experts, and they quickly used the resources at hand to build a simple fire pit.
"I'll go up there and get the rainwater back. You can use the mineral water to cook some rice first."
Taking into account the types of supplies and the scarcity of water sources.
Lao Xu decided to consume the rice that was inconvenient to carry first, and then finished eating those packaged foods from Xiaodong and Xiaoxi.
As for the rainwater collected on the roof, it must be recovered. Because for Lao Xu and Lei Tong, the current food supply is quite sufficient, but the water source is really not enough.
After the division of labor was completed, Lao Xu went up to the top to fetch water, while Lei Tong made a fire to cook below.
Considering the shortage of water, Lei Tong simply bought some rice at a time.
Anyway, in the middle of winter, the temperature is low, and the whole room is a natural refrigerator.
After it's cooked, take some out when you're hungry. You can easily fill your stomach.
After half an hour of busy work, Lao Xu and his party finally had their first "big meal" since setting off from the base.
Of course, what is called a big meal is actually just rice, although some side dishes were also found in the house.
But in view of the situation, Lao Xu and others still did not use those resources.
After eating, Lao Xu and Lei Tong carefully checked the doors and windows of the house.
After making sure there was no problem, the two returned to the bedroom.
Not too bad, the soundproofing of this house isn't too bad. At least if you stay inside, the scratchy shuffling sounds of zombies outside are not so clear.
"When you are tired, just rest by yourself. If you need anything, just tell us." Knowing that the young man didn't like to talk much, Lao Xu didn't say much, pointed to the bed and said a few words.
"Company Commander. Now that we have settled down for the time being, what about those gangsters?"
Hearing Lei Tong's question, Lao Xu raised his face. He had been busy communicating about the settlement before, and he had really forgotten about the gangsters.
Now Lei Tong mentioned it. It made Lao Xu think again.
"I guess they were all taken care of by the zombies." Lei Tong added without waiting for Lao Xu's reply.
Lao Xu nodded. He also felt that it was impossible for those beasts to break through and survive.
After all, the situation was there at that time, and Lao Xu believed that with the ability of Hu Chao and his gang, the possibility of a forceful breakout was almost zero.
However, just when Lao Xu and Lei Tong were convinced of their judgment, some unusual noises caught their attention.
It was the sound of something falling. Although it was fleeting and not very clear, both Lao Xu and Lei Tong heard it. The two looked at each other almost at the same time, and then Lao Xu quickly walked to the bedroom wall.
Because what is certain is that the sound does not come from our own house, so the only possibility is that it comes from next door.
With his ears pressed against the wall, Lao Xu gave up his concentration and adjusted his heartbeat frequency to the lowest level.
Lei Tong frowned and waited, also remaining motionless.
Quiet, the survivor's bedroom is deathly quiet at this moment!
If someone were to walk here at this moment, they would definitely mistake the three people in the room for a statue.
"Damn it, you're trying to die! I don't know there are zombies outside. Do you feel uncomfortable not attracting them?"
Hearing this, Lao Xu immediately withdrew his ears.
Seeing Lao Xu's solemn expression, Lei Tong immediately inferred something: "Could it be that those bastards are still..."
Nodding gently, Lao Xu raised his finger to his mouth, signaling Lei Tong to stay quiet.
"Damn it, if you guys weren't useless just now, we would have killed those two girls long ago."
"Uh, big brother, you, please calm down. Actually, there's nothing wrong with this. Do you think those two guys are hiding upstairs? Although the zombies are not them, they haven't eaten or drank. I guess at most In two days, they won’t be able to stand it any longer.”
"******! They can't stand it! You fucking think we can stand it! I'm fucking telling you, tomorrow morning you all give me ideas to collect supplies from the next room, otherwise you will Wait!"
Hu Chao's angry rebuke was listened to every word by Lao Xu. He had no interest in the other party's reprimand, but it was Hu Chao's last instruction that forced him to pay attention.
Go to the next door room to collect supplies... The next door room... Isn't that my place?
Thinking of the possible troubles caused by fighting with the other party, Lao Xu couldn't help but tighten his heartstrings.
There is no doubt that Lao Xu was right about the battle itself. He had to withdraw from the back room of the noodle shop because of the terrain.
But now in this room, and with the upper hand, Lao Xu is sure of victory. (To be continued.)
