The back door leads to the building's fire escape.
He Gu pried the iron lock on the door, opened the door gently, and stuck his head in.
It was dark inside, and the emergency lights had long been extinguished. He smelled carefully and found no other smell except the choking dust, so he turned on the flashlight.
The corridor was a bit dusty, but no blood was seen, so it was generally safe.
"Let's go on slowly and try not to make any noise." He Gu said softly.
The other people nodded, clenched the weapons in their hands, looked at the stairs at their feet, and went downstairs little by little.
There were no zombies in the fire escape. After going down the stairs, several people discovered that the fire escape led to the street next door.
It was a street called "Xiancao Street". This street was not very wide. It was an old street. There were shops on both sides of the road, selling everything from vegetables to medicine to computers.
However, none of the five of them were familiar with this place, and they walked cautiously. They only dared to walk along the greenery on the roadside, and they had to stop from time to time to observe the situation.
It was now when the sun was rising, and there were only some scattered zombies scattered everywhere on the road. Most of them were avoided by them, and a few were killed by He Gu's silenced pistol.
The streets were in ruins, with dried blood and rotting corpses everywhere, and occasionally small birds or rats gnawing on them.
Fortunately, these small creatures are not infected with the zombie virus, otherwise there would be no use hiding anywhere.
In addition, there are many cars on the road, but most of them have been in car accidents, are swaying around, and are even smoking. Moreover, what they are looking for are buses and buses that can seat many people. But this road is basically filled with private cars.
But the main purpose of this trip is to find food.
There are various shops on the street, and of course there are also supermarkets.
Soon, a few people found a large Hongqi supermarket.
But when they looked inside, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Just say why I didn’t see a few zombies, they were all crowded in the supermarket!
However, the door of the supermarket was closed by someone unknown, and the door handle was even fixed with several steel pipes. A red exclamation mark was spray-painted on the glass door.
This looks like a human handiwork, and the color of the exclamation mark is very bright. Could it be that there are survivors nearby?
Soon, several people found another clue on the wall not far away.
There was a line of words left in red spray paint on it.
Blue Mountain Prison, Security.
It can be seen that I was writing very urgently at that time, and I only wrote half of the word "全".
"Lanshan Prison?" He Gu read it again, feeling inexplicably familiar.
Soon, he remembered.
This Blue Mountain Prison is a large prison in the suburbs of G City.
If you keep walking along the river, you will reach the prison after leaving the city.
But the problem is that the location of the prison is much further than the base.
This caused several people present to wonder: Since everyone from Blue Mountain Prison has come here, why not go to the base on the island instead of leaving this message here?
This seems like an attempt to steal people from the base, but now that it's time, the chance of survival is greater if we unite.
If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it.
This Hongqi Supermarket couldn't be entered anyway, so a few people could only look at the supplies dumped on the floor through the glass with envy.
However, there were still a few convenience stores on the street. They didn't have much in them, and many of them had been looted. They went through four convenience stores in a row before barely filling two bags.
There are actually a lot of vegetables and meat vendors on the roadside, but after such a long time, the vegetables have long been lost. As for the meat, it has either been eaten or has become infested with flies and smelly. Even the food in the refrigerator has not been spared. , after all, the power has been out for so long.
But luckily they found bacon on a high shelf in a grocery store.
Because it was placed in a relatively high position, only a few pieces of bacon were stained with blood. Most of the others were still clean. At worst, they had to be washed before eating.
In short, they have meat to eat now!
Several people quickly set up stools, took down the bacon, and filled a full bag.
"Hurry up and pack the meat. Find some medicine and water later, and we can go back."
He Gu, who always had a serious expression, also showed joy this time. He stood guard outside the door with a pistol and urged the people inside.
In fact, there was no need for him to urge, everyone moved very quickly.
Because the bacon hanging position is relatively high, and the men are also taller than each other, there is no need for Jiang Li.
But she wasn't idle either, but walked around to see if she could find anything useful.
The shelves in the store were rickety. It was obvious that this grocery store had been ransacked. All the canned food, pickles and other edible items on the shelves had been cleared away. Only some condiments were left, but they didn't light a fire. Naturally, these things are not needed for cooking.
As for the dry goods placed in the middle, they were either trampled to pieces or stained with blood.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Li suddenly stepped on the water. At the same time, she caught a trace of the smell of alcohol in the turbid air.
Jiang Li cheered up and kicked away the debris on the floor. Sure enough, she saw a broken porcelain jar under the shelf. She came closer and smelled the mellow aroma of wine.
She said, why didn't she see the wine vat in the store? It turned out to be hidden under here!
Although this wine vat was broken, there were several others nearby, and they were all sealed, so there was no need to worry about contamination.
This wine is a good thing. In addition to being used for drinking, it can also be used to sterilize and disinfect when necessary.
So, after loading the bacon, several people couldn't wait to drag the wine jar out from under the shelf.
However, as soon as they pulled the wine tank out, they smelled a foul smell.
"What does this smell like? It's killing me!" the driver complained, turning on his flashlight and shining it inside.
Deep in the shelves, there were several rotten corpses that looked like they belonged to rats.
Moreover, these rat corpses were all mutilated, which made them look even more disgusting.
The driver felt cold and quickly turned off the flashlight and dragged the wine tank away.
They dragged out two wine vats, one to wash the bottles and the other to be packed away.
"This is too luxurious, using wine to wash bottles." Xiao Jin shook his head, disapproving of this extravagant behavior.
But in a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Li wiping his skin with paper dipped in wine...
Xiao Jin silently shut up, pretending that Quan had never said this, and imitated Jiang Li.
Counting this time, they haven't taken a shower for a week. It's still summer, so you can imagine how smelly and sticky they are.
Moreover, the area rubbed with wine feels cool, which is a good way to cool down in this hot summer.
