It is an old-style small building with 6 floors in total. There is no elevator and there is direct access to the corridor. There are 2 households on one floor.
This kind of building layout makes the investigation by Hu Xiaodong and others much simpler.
Holding the knife, Hua Biao took the lead to clear the way, followed by Duan Chengwu and Huo Yuankai. Hu Xiaodong stayed at the end to deal with emergencies. The four of them rushed towards the roof of the building little by little.
As expected, there are boring zombies wandering in the corridors, but the number is not very large, and there is no problem in dealing with them with the current strength of the survivors.
The only trouble is to check each house. After all, the environment inside the house is much more complicated than the building.
Light, obstacles, and even house area are all factors that affect survivor screening.
Fortunately, there were not many open doors in the building. As for those with closed doors, the survivor team ignored them all.
After all, if there is a door blocking it, even if there are zombies, there is no need to deal with it.
Besides, it takes time to break down the door.
From beginning to end, the entire investigation and cleanup work took the survivor team a total of nearly 15 minutes.
After that was done, Hu Xiaodong led Huabiao and Huo Yuankai returned to the bottom of the building.
After a brief inspection of the surrounding environment, Huabiao suggested: "Use a car to block the entrance of the small building to increase the safety factor."
As soon as the sound source sounds, zombies from all over the country will definitely move out, and you can't predict their route of action.
Therefore, in order to prevent some stupid zombies from getting lost and going astray, it is still necessary to block the building door.
Who said this old-style residential building does not have an access control system?
No one objected to Huabiao's proposal. Of course Hu Xiaodong made up his mind: "Well, what Huazi said makes sense. Ronaldinho, Da Zhuang, just work hard and get off the car later."
"Wait a minute!" Just as Hu Xiaodong finished issuing the order, Tang Xiaoquan stepped forward from behind.
"What's wrong, Tang? Do you have any opinion?"
"No, I have no objection to what Hua Zi said. Blocking the door is necessary."
"and you……"
"What I mean is that there are too many variables in this operation. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, we'd better prepare some extra supplies and bring them to the upstairs area. This way, even if there is a problem, we can at least stay in the building for a while."
To say this at this juncture is really unlucky.
But there are many things. Especially when it comes to matters of life and death, if the so-called "feng shui" is taken into consideration, then the only person who will be unlucky in the end is the person involved.
Nodding, Hu Xiaodong understood what the young man meant and didn't say any more nonsense. Directly give the order: "Okay! Just follow Xiao Tang's wishes. Everyone gets a backpack and puts more high-calorie food. Xiao Tang, you are responsible for the water source, and everyone else will put food."
Hearing this, everyone immediately started to take care of themselves. While everyone was busy, Hu Xiaodong picked up his handstand and gave orders to Duan Chengwu, who was guarding the building upstairs: "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Please reply when you receive it!"
"Zizzi!" A short electric noise.
"I'm Xiao Wu, what's the matter with Brother Hu?"
"Look around the house and gather all the pots and jars that can hold water. I'll pick them up later."
"clear!"
Although he didn't know what Hu Xiaodong wanted to do, Duan Chengwu still responded neatly.
After packing their backpacks, the survivors went upstairs one after another. When everyone was done, Luo Baochun and Wei Dazhuang took their own cars and arranged the cars on both sides in a triangle to block the building door.
"Hey, Baochun, drive the car forward and leave a gap first. I have other tasks to arrange."
"Ah? Oh. Got it." Following the instructions, Luo Baochun moved the car forward a little.
Tang Xiaoquan saw this and asked inexplicably: "Brother Hu, do you have anything else to do?"
"Haha, there is something else. There are so many of us. How can we survive with the water you carry on your back? I just asked Xiao Wu to prepare all the basins in the house. We will go up and get the snow water later. , with this snow water, there will be no problem in paying for it for a period of time.”
Things are unpredictable, and everything has its disadvantages but also its advantages. Although the snow and water currently bring inconvenience to the survivors' normal travel, it is undeniable. In this apocalyptic world where water and electricity are cut off, they are free water sources given by God.
"It makes sense, don't use the things that are given to you for free." Understanding why Hu Xiaodong just asked him to prepare water sources, Tang Xiaoquan gave a thumbs up and gave a thumbs up.
Duan Chengwu was really good at executing orders. Hu Xiaodong just said it casually. He didn't expect to wait until he led all the brothers back to the house. He was really shocked by the mess in front of him.
Emma! Brother, is this still the room I just entered?
Everywhere he looked, there were plastic basins, stainless steel basins, from humble mineral water bottles to iron pots for cooking. Duan Chengwu dug out all the objects with openings and bottoms.
Hu Xiaodong even saw a few loose luck avoidance kits at the corner of the table. Well, coming from a military background, the way of doing things is really unusual.
"Damn it! Xiao Wuzi, what are you doing? Are you trying to set up a house?" Looking at the pots and pans in front of him, Wei Dazhuang shook his head in shock.
"I asked Xiao Wu to prepare these. What I mean is..." After explaining the explanation to Tang Xiaoquan just now, Hu Xiaodong immediately ordered everyone to take action.
Nine people ran back and forth twice. After filling all the pots, Luo Baochun backed the car back into position and sealed the door at the bottom of the building.
"Okay, let's divide up Gong now. Da Zhuang, Hua Zi, Xiao Wu and the four of us will strengthen the door. The rest of us will be responsible for the windows of each house and find sheets to cover them."
The mission was issued and everyone took action again.
In 10 minutes, all the survivors gathered in the living room.
Before, a series of busy equipments also made the big guy pant heavily. After taking a short rest, Hu Xiaodong called Wei Dazhuang: "Dazhuang, does the guy with the earrings have his cell phone on you?"
"Yes! It's me."
"Here, give it to me!"
After groping for a while, Wei Dazhuang handed the phone that the man with earrings had left behind from the inner pocket of his down jacket to Hu Xiaodong.
After taking it, Hu Xiaodong's face hardened: "I'm going to contact Lao Xu next."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and the rough breathing that had been rising and falling just now became almost inaudible under the deliberate suppression.
"I don't know if that method is effective. By the way, Xiao Tang, have you consulted with Xiao Li and the others about the Bluetooth issue this time?" Hu Xiaodong murmured while operating the phone.
Tang Xiaoquan shook his head: "We were busy discussing preparations at the time, but I really forgot to ask about Bluetooth."
"Oh, I didn't ask. I hope it can still be used now."
After saying that, Hu Xiaodong remained silent and carefully composed the message he wanted to convey to Xu Renjie.
After finishing writing, Hu Xiaodong let out a sigh of relief.
The next step is the most important step. Whether the outgoing team can communicate with Xu Renjie depends entirely on what Hu Xiaodong will do next. (To be continued.)
