"Liang Qing, is that true? What if we enter the gray fog and can't find that base transfer point? Instead, we get swallowed up by the gray fog like everyone else who got out? What will we do then?"
Song Yao stood at the entrance of the village holding a shovel, looking worriedly at Liang Qing who was observing the gray fog.
Liang Qing wore an N95 mask and warm clothes, taking all the necessary precautions before he dared to come to the edge of the gray fog.
She frowned. "Staying here any longer isn't an option. There are so many villagers, young and old, and so many haven't returned. And now there's a plague of mutated insects. Even the wild wolves, which haven't appeared in the mountains for a while, have come down. Something must be wrong."
With the arrival of the gray fog, many mutated insects appeared in the village.
Common earthworms, centipedes, moths, and the perennial cabbage snake, etc., are many times larger than usual and are highly toxic. If you are bitten by them, you will definitely die from poisoning.
There are also common crops that, under the influence of the gray fog, either wither or grow many times larger than usual, as if they have thoughts and will hunt certain insects and even mutated animals.
This world has become too scary.
The village had been sealed off for too long. In the beginning, an official rescue team came to distribute supplies and persuaded them to move to a nearby air-raid shelter.
But it was just a rainstorm. Although there was a big earthquake later, Yuewan Village was located halfway up the mountain. Except for some damage caused by the mountain torrents caused by the rainstorm at the beginning, the subsequent earthquake did not have much impact on them.
Later, the nearby cities were flooded, and some people who had left the village to work chose to return to Yuewan Village for refuge.
After all, when there is a water or power outage, the village is the safest place.
The villagers usually farm and have more or less stored food at home. They raise chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, and there are large vegetable plots nearby. They can also sow seeds and grow vegetables themselves. This is much better than staying in a high-rise building in the city, where no one can help them.
Liang Qing is a self-media blogger. After graduating from university, he chose to return to his hometown to start a business.
Yuewan Village is a small mountain village in the original mountains. It has beautiful scenery and picturesque views, and is not polluted by the outside world.
After Liang Qing returned here, in addition to taking care of his grandparents, he relied on the scenery of Yuanshan to shoot farming vlogs, cook, shoot the beautiful and poetic rural life, sell agricultural products, and became a blogger with millions of followers.
Before the disaster struck, she had also seen the doomsday prophecies circulating online, but she did not take them seriously at the time.
Then, the arrival of a series of natural disasters such as heavy rain shattered everyone's fantasy.
Fortunately, Yuewan Village is located in a remote area, and everyone usually relies on self-sufficiency to live, and occasionally goes to the next town to buy some daily necessities.
Due to work needs, Liang Qing rebuilt the old house himself, making it waterproof and earthquake-proof, equipped with a generator, and various daily necessities.
In order to find inspiration for various subjects, she also bought many books and manuals on daily first aid, so that she could do it herself wherever she could, and also use them as shooting materials.
Now, these things helped her a lot.
After the heavy rain and earthquake, the villagers no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and occasionally received disaster relief supplies. The official rescue team advised them not to run around recently, and it would be best for them to stay at home or move to an air-raid shelter in the mountains.
Although after a series of natural disasters, going to an official shelter is a good choice.
However, everyone in the village has stored food. If they go to the official air-raid shelter, they have to bring their own food. Maybe the living space there will not be as comfortable as at home, and they may not even be able to keep their food. So most people choose to stay in the village.
Liang Qing's grandparents had lived in the village their entire lives, and their habits couldn't be changed. The two elderly people didn't want to cause trouble for the authorities and thought it would be better to stay home. Liang Qing also stayed with them.
Anyway, there is food and water at home, and the generator can last for a while, so there is no need to worry about daily life.
Many people think that these are just floods and earthquakes, and they will all pass anyway. As long as they can hold on for this period of time, maybe everything will be fine.
However, the subsequent volcanic eruption brought about great consequences, and even the remote mountain villages were devastated.
The villagers began to vaguely realize their current predicament.
However, at this time, there was no sign of even the official rescue team, and they had completely lost contact with the outside world, becoming an isolated fortress.
Liang Qing's boyfriend Song Yao is quite shrewd.
After the disaster, he collected many online rumors while the Internet was still working, and then printed them into a book. After the volcanic eruption, the signal was completely lost, and the two of them slowly studied these issues.
The prophecy about the mysterious website, as well as the subsequent gray fog and mutations of plants and animals, were like thunder and lightning to ordinary people.
Only then did the two realize how terrible the situation was.
But the old people in the village didn't understand this and thought it was all nonsense. They thought it might just be some natural disaster and thought the two were exaggerating.
Liang Qing and Song Yao could only study the prophecy on their own, and found that a small supermarket at the foot of the mountain was actually the transfer point in a list published on the Internet.
Liang Qing has always wanted to go out and give it a try.
However, Song Yao disapproved of her behavior at this time. "The situation outside is unclear now. If we go out rashly, we might encounter some danger. If we also have a black card, maybe we can get help."
He was a gamer, and he knew very well that in a disaster with plant and animal mutations, rushing out would only lead to his death. Unless he had the protagonist buff, he would be cannon fodder for exploration.
However, this is not a solution.
Temperatures continued to drop after volcanic ash covered the sky.
The recent temperature has reached more than 20 degrees below zero, which is colder than previous winters.
Although Liang Qing had coal at home and installed a fireplace, it was only enough for about three or four months. When the rainstorm came, the villagers had just started preparing charcoal for the winter, so there was not enough.
Now many people can only go up the mountain to chop firewood during the day to maintain heating for their families.
But this is not a solution. If the nearby firewood is cut down, we will have to go further away to cut firewood, and there will be a risk of encountering wild beasts.
Some time ago, there was a man in Yuewan Village who encountered a jackal while cutting trees. He lost his life and his family also lost their pillar.
Now, when people go out to chop wood, they go out in groups, fearing that they will encounter danger again. (End of this chapter)
