Chapter 35 World Mission Stuck
Yesterday, Lou Lili told her that the blood test to exclude potential Type A infections is not 100% accurate at present, and there will be a 2 to 3 percent deviation, so the survivors who have just entered the shelter can only stay temporarily on Island 1 and Island 2, and have to wait for five days before they can cross the bridge fence and enter Island 3.
Island 3 is larger in area, and after staying on Island 3 for another five days, they will be officially returned to the shelter, and can receive the island pass issued by the shelter and follow the arrangements to stay on other islands (Islands 4 to 14).
The refuge currently only distributes one meal of food per day at the visitor center of island 1, island 3 and the central island 6. Instant noodles, bread or dry food such as steamed buns are distributed. Occasionally, ham sausage, canned luncheon meat, and snail noodles are also distributed, but the amount is very small.
The food tastes monotonous, and it is impossible to eat enough, but it is indeed not starving to death. To receive food, you need to bring your island pass and compare it with the photo on the pass before you can receive it.
As for water resources, there are several wells on the island, which are currently not polluted. Everyone still queues up to receive water every day with an island pass. Each person is fixed to 1000ML, and the container is self-provided.
After officially returning to the refuge, RVs like hers can drive directly from the RV lane to the RV campground to stay, but they have to be careful of the prying and coveting of others.
Although there are many islands in the wetland park and they are large in area, at least half of them have no buildings and are covered with vegetation. Therefore, most people are currently concentrated on a few islands with buildings suitable for living.
New survivors would rather set up tents in the open space of the building complex than go to other islands because they want to stay in a more popular place.
With too many tents, it is easy for people to get confused and there is no way to manage them uniformly.
Therefore, the shelter issued a death order that stealing, robbing and infighting are not allowed. Once discovered, they will be incorporated into the front-line forces and forced to perform tasks.
At present, the tasks of the front-line forces are mostly to search for supplies and rescue people in cities full of zombies. It is very dangerous and ordinary people will risk their lives if they participate.
This was the only order from the army, but this alone made the survivors very restrained in the shelter.
This was also the reason why the gang stayed away from the shelter and blocked the three people from the Lou family on the national highway.
The army had no control over external struggles.
They were residents near the wetland park. After the army cleared the wetland park, they followed the first group of people into the park and observed for ten days. They had just received a pass to the island, but they lacked supplies, so they targeted the new team and would pull them if they could, and would use dirty hands if they couldn't.
Currently, the Lou family is on Island 2, waiting for the ban to be lifted to enter Island 3.
Some of the Lou family members had served in the army before, so they had a good relationship with the army. In addition, the Lou family was capable, so they had this mission.
They will probably be back in two days, so Youxi can go and reunite with Louxiang and the others.
Youxi has been mentally prepared for some of the current situations in the shelter. In the early days of the apocalypse, the old rules have just been overturned, and the new rules have not yet officially appeared. There will indeed be a period of chaos.
But because this shelter was established by the army, the death order is very shocking, so compared to other shelters, the situation here is definitely better than other places.
Every day, the army patrols the islands of the shelter. Due to manpower issues, conscription has now been reopened, and both men and women are accepted, from the ages of sixteen to forty-five. As long as they pass the physical examination and physical training, they will be immediately incorporated into the army.
The missions of the troops are not all dangerous rescue and search for supplies. There are also tasks such as building new buildings on the island, patrolling, patrolling outside the island, clearing nearby farmland and building fences, searching for supplies and rescue in areas with low population density such as towns and villages.
Because after joining the troops, there will be a fixed daily distribution of water, and occasionally fruits, vegetables and meat. Many people will join the troops after weighing the pros and cons when they are fleeing due to insufficient supplies.
Youxi soon met up with Louxiang and his group, and found a vacant lot near them to place the RV and settle down temporarily.
**
With the RV as a cover, the days of waiting to officially return to the shelter are not difficult to endure.
Youxi would lock the RV every day and take You's father and mother to get a meal and a bottle of water. Although they are not short of these resources, they can avoid a lot of trouble by not standing out in the crowd.
The survivors on islands 1 to 3 have not officially been admitted to the shelter yet, so their meals are a little worse, such as rice porridge and steamed bread, but this is only temporary. Many people have finally escaped from cities or towns full of zombies to safe areas, and they don't care about these things at all.
In the face of global disasters, it is good enough to be alive.
Because the Lou family is valued by the troops, they are currently arranged in a three-story building on island 2. The building is antique with green bricks and black tiles. It was originally a commercial building.
But there is not only a toilet inside, but also a small kitchen with a stove, where you can wash and make some simple meals and noodles for yourself, which is a privilege given by the troops.
After Youxi arrived, Louxiang asked her to park the RV in the parking space outside the building. She wanted to reserve a room for them, but she gave up after going into the RV to see the living conditions inside.
The RV was quite new, with everything including a kitchen, bathroom, dining table, and bed, and even electricity.
You should know that although the wetland park has generators and electricity, the main power supply is for the troops, and ordinary people have limited power supply. Except for the street lights on several main roads, all the survivors' buildings will be closed at 8 pm. It is so dark that you have to be careful not to step on air and fall into the toilet.
This is really not as good as an RV. Even if the RV cannot be driven, it has a solar panel and a wind turbine to store electricity. This amount of electricity is not much, but on a day like this when the sun is shining brightly every day, it is more than enough to watch TV, charge the phone and turn on the electric fan.
Leng Mian and Zhao Zheng, because they were traveling with Youxi, were also warmly received by Louxiang. However, it was
inconvenient for them, a man and a woman, to live in the same small house, so Youxi finally took out two tents and let them sleep directly on the floor in the lobby on the first floor of the commercial building.
The tent was of the right size, and it came with a waterproof mat and a thin blanket, just like a small hidden room, which was better than them having to squeeze into a room with other people they didn't know.
Lou Xiang is a person who can't keep secrets. She originally had a good impression of You Xi. She also learned from Leng Mian and Zhao Zheng about the danger they encountered when they met Lou Rui and Lou Lili. She regarded You Xi as her own family and told her a lot of things about her family.
The Lou family is also a martial arts family. Lou Lili is the eldest daughter of her generation and inherited her father's business.
Her brother is the eldest son of this generation, but her brother and she are not very interested in inheritance.
Lou Lili is a single mother. She has strict requirements since childhood and forced them to learn martial arts. Lou Rui didn't like it. He went to other cities after college and later settled down and worked there. She was
unlucky. She was caught by her mother at a young age and couldn't escape. She could only practice martial arts at home every day.
A month ago, Lou Rui, who was originally working in another city, suddenly resigned and returned home with a few partners, saying that he wanted to inherit the family business.
Not only did he take Lou Lili, Lou Xiang and other cousins of the Lou family to practice martial arts every day, he also rented a warehouse near the Lou family to store a lot of water and supplies, and even took out a loan to buy three cars. A pickup truck, a small truck, and an off-road vehicle.
Of course, they only knew about the hoarding and buying of cars after the disaster.
Because of this, when the infected broke out on a large scale, their family at least did not have to risk their lives for water resources, and they survived the first few chaotic days with the door closed.
"Haha, Youxi, do you think my brother is like the male protagonist who was reborn from the apocalypse in the novel?" Lou Xiang said this with a smile, she didn't take it seriously at all.
However, Youxi couldn't help but think a little more, after all, she knew very well that this world was apocalyptic, whether it was real or fake, the appearance of unrealistic plots and characters was not abrupt at all.
She asked in her heart: System, is Lou Rui also a tasker bound to the Star House?
[Host, please focus on the current task]
Youxi: I am very focused, but the Shelter No. 28 has not appeared, how can I continue the task?
The Star House did not speak again, even though Youxi had long been accustomed to it, she couldn't help but sigh "What a shit".
No wonder she could get 80 star coins for completing the second mission. So far, she has safely evacuated You's father and mother to the shelter, but the target shelter of this mission has never appeared.
She doesn't know how long she has to wait. The target shelter may be far away from them after it appears. It will be a long and difficult journey to move again.
**
A few days later, Lou Rui and the other two came back. After they successfully completed the mission, they revealed the content of the mission to You Xi.
It turned out that on the way to the wetland park, the Lou family convoy encountered a factory area. In addition to various food canning factories, there were also many industrial manufacturing factories. The billboard of one of the factories was tall and straight, just like a solar panel production factory.
Because there were so many zombies in the factory area, they only looked at it from a distance and did not venture in.
After they arrived at the wetland park, they found that the safety factor of this shelter was very high and the management was in order. Finally, they decided to inform the troops of the situation in the factory area.
However, the team in the wetland was short of manpower and could not gather enough people to go to the factory area. Afterwards, the leader of the army contacted another team sent to a nearby farm by radio.
Most of the team members were experienced fighters. They were ordered to go to the farm and recaptured the large fruit plantation, greenhouse vegetable area and fish pond in the farm.
At present, the area around the farm has been cleaned up, and everyone is making further arrangements. After receiving the order, some people stayed behind to guard the farm, while the rest of the people prepared to leave for the factory area.
Because of the location, going to the factory area would pass by the farm, so they sent the three members of the Lou family to go first and take the troops to check the situation and make a plan, whether to clean up the entire factory area or only take some of the most needed supplies.
At the same time, the wetland also sent a fully armed and equipped convoy to rush to the factory area to join them.
This operation was far more fruitful than expected. The troops exchanged a large amount of supplies with a small sacrifice. They almost emptied the entire solar panel factory, a biscuit factory, a canned fruit factory, and a factory specializing in making self-igniting hot pots.
This self-igniting hot pot is served with sausage and dehydrated meat, so they also brought back a large amount of meat this time.
And those solar panels neatly stacked on the truck can almost solve the electricity problem of the entire wetland park.
The survivors of the entire wetland were jubilant that day because of the extra meal, everyone was given a few spoons of canned fruit and a sausage.
The deputy under the department leader personally delivered a box of self-heating hot pots and a box of canned fruit, a box of instant noodles and six watermelons to the Lou family.
I won’t mention other convenient foods, but watermelons are really rare. After all, it’s hot now, and fruits like watermelons that are easy to break are hard to find.
However, the troops have just recaptured a farm, so they think they can still get it no matter how rare it is.
Of course, these are just the first batch of rewards. When the island pass comes down, the Lou family will be given the best and most sufficient housing and solar panels.
The Lou family decided to have a small celebration on this day, making a hot pot together, and then cutting watermelons to eat. They also invited Youxi’s family and Zhao Zhenglengmian.
Zhao Zheng and Leng Mian were embarrassed at first. They were already living in someone else's house, so eating their hot pot was not just a meal. You Xi said to them, "Go ahead. I'll bring food with me. It's not like we have to eat everything from someone else."
Leng Mian and Zhao Zheng looked at each other. Eating You Xi's food was the same as eating the Lou family's food.
But in the end, they still went. After all, they lived in the same place. But they were embarrassed to go empty-handed, so they took out the bacon and sausage they had found in the farmhouse, cut them into pieces, and put them in the hot pot.
The Lou family had abundant supplies and no shortage of convenient food, including canned meat, vacuum-cured halved beef, and vacuum-cured roasted chicken.
They took out several large pots and originally planned to use the ingredients in the self-igniting hot pot. As a result, Youxi arrived just in time and brought four large bags of hot pot base, two bags of spicy butter, and two bags of clear soup lamb ingredients. Because they were all vacuum-packed, they could be stored for a long time.
In addition, she also brought bags of dried bean curd, bags of dried black fungus, vacuum-packed tender bamboo shoots, vacuum-packed dried shrimps, dried squid, and dried clams, a large bag of dehydrated vegetables, a six-pack of Coca-Cola, and five or six bags of frozen dumplings, each bag containing 50.
The dumplings can be directly put into the hot pot soup and eaten as a staple food.
The Coca-Cola was ice cold, and so were the dumplings. They must have been taken out of the freezer. Each one felt very cold. These things looked expensive, but because their RV had electricity and a refrigerator, it was not impossible that they were well preserved. After all, the Lou family didn't know when and where they got the RV.
Although Zhao Zhenglengmian knew the time difference from when they left the city to the camping base, after getting along with each other for some time, they had already learned not to ask too much about Youxi, so naturally they might say more.
Lou Lili was overjoyed to see the food, and was embarrassed to take it all.
Later, You's mother said that her family ran a grocery store, and the grocery store was opened in the community garage, so after the outbreak of the infected, the things were preserved, and their family did not lack these.
You Xi was quite surprised. She didn't expect that You's mother had progressed to the point where she could lie with her eyes open. You's father winked at her, saying that it was his own achievement.
After the hot pot ingredients were fried with oil, pure water was added and boiled in a short while. A strong and overbearing spicy and fresh smell rushed into her nose. Not to mention Leng Mian and Zhao Zheng, even the Lu family, who didn't save much, felt their mouths watering for a moment.
It's hot pot!
It's really hot pot, a real Sichuan hot pot that you can throw a lot of meat and vegetables into, not the kind of self-igniting hot pot that tastes like plastic.
Although it's a bit of a stretch to say this, after all, most people can't even eat self-igniting hot pot, but for the Lou family, the last thing they lack is convenience food. In
fact, they occasionally want to change their taste...
In the end, the dumplings and dried food brought by the three members of the You family were very popular. After all, the Lou family didn't lack meat, but these things.
Lou Xiang sighed as she drank a small cup of iced cola, saying that her straight brother only bought instant noodles, instant meat, compressed biscuits, military rations and other foods when he was stocking up, and didn't buy anything else like snacks, carbonated drinks, vegetables and fruits. She was almost constipated from eating meat...
So after the dinner that day, You Xi took a big bag of dried vegetables and fruits from the RV (Xingwu Warehouse) for her.
These dried vegetables and fruits were mixed, with more than 20 small bags in a big bag. Unlike the dehydrated vegetables that are soaked in water and eaten as vegetables, they are snacks that can be eaten directly, sprinkled with salt, and they are crunchy and super fragrant.
Then he took out two bags of chocolate-filled soft candies, one for Louxiang and one for Lengmian.
Lengmian refused to accept them at first, because she felt bad that she had been eating Youxi's food all the time.
"Oh, it's okay. We'll get the island passes in a few days, and we'll be able to enter and exit the wetlands freely. Then we'll go out to search for supplies together, and you can give her some when you find something."
Louxiang had been accompanied by her brother and mother since the end of the world, so she remained as cheerful and lively as before, and she was able to persuade her with just a few words.
Youxi looked at Louxiang and couldn't help but think of another person who was cared for by her mother and brother.
Strictly speaking, she was not familiar with the other party, but when she saw Lou Xiang at this moment, she remembered that she faced the zombies at the gas station without fear, and did not forget to go out to continue searching for supplies after arriving at the safe refuge area. She could not help but sigh that people are indeed different.
Even if they stand at the same starting point, they will walk completely different paths in life.
At this time, You Xi did not expect that a month later, she would see Wu Meiling again on Island 1 of the wetland shelter.
