The man in the black cotton-padded jacket nodded and handed the empty backpack to Qiao Xuejun. His tone was much better: "Tell me, which district are you from? Were you chased by a sea monster when you came out to collect supplies?"
Qiao Xuejun: "We are in the city center, near the TV building."
The man in black cotton jacket nodded: "Oh, it's the one that was flooded the deepest."
Qiao Xuejun: "There is a walkie-talkie in my clothes. I can ask my friends at home to redeem us with food."
The man in the black cotton jacket laughed mockingly: "You've been in the sea for so long, do you think the walkie-talkie can still be used?"
He turned around, rummaged through the cabinet against the wall, took out a walkie-talkie, and threw it to Qiao Xuejun: "Take a look for yourself."
Black Cotton Jacket: "Just tell me your address, give me the token, and I'll come to pick it up. I'll let you go after I get it."
Qiao Xuejun picked up the intercom and pressed the power button, but there was no response.
"Our address is inside the TV building. It's on the first floor after it's flooded." Qiao Xuejun asked the black cotton-padded jacket again, "Or do you have any here? Can I borrow it?"
Black Cotton Jacket: "If we had this thing, we could have contacted the First Base and gone there a long time ago. Why are we still here?"
Qiao Xuejun's expression changed slightly: "You want to join the First Base?"
What she heard when she was dazed before about joining the First Base was not an illusion, but a real thing?
Black Cotton Jacket: "Who wouldn't want to seek refuge? Can we go? It's all sea, there's not even a boat. We can only wait for the water to recede before seeking refuge. But it's been so long, and the water hasn't receded at all."
Someone else in the room echoed, "Yeah, I've had enough of chewing grass here every day. I used to weigh 130 pounds, but now I've lost weight to 70 pounds. The radio said that several large bases can be well fed. The First Base is the closest to us."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the people in the room and found that they were all pale and thin, without any flesh on their bodies.
The aunt standing before her had sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and bony hands.
Just the black cotton jacket, and the other two men I saw on the boat before were not too thin.
Qiao Xuejun guessed that the nutritious food in their home should be given first to the tall and strong men who could go out and search for supplies.
Black Cotton Jacket said, and asked Qiao Xuejun: "Why, don't you want to go?"
Qiao Xuejun hesitated for a moment and then directly explained: "We are from the First Base and are entering the city to collect supplies. You asked me to go out and bring the patrol team from the First Base here, and we can go back to the base together afterwards."
As soon as Qiao Xuejun said this, everyone in the room looked at her, with subtle and strange expressions.
The man in black cotton jacket smiled and said, "Sounds a bit familiar."
He cleared his throat and said, "I am Qin Shi Huang. I am not dead. My vault is frozen. You help me pay 2,000 yuan to unfreeze the vault. After that, I will make you a general."
He looked at Qiao Xuejun: "Are they exactly the same?"
Black cotton-padded jacket doesn't believe it.
Qiao Xuejun felt that Hei Mian'ao was also unwilling to let her go, so she changed her request: "...or you can help me bring people over. They should be nearby."
Black Cotton-padded Jacket: "Forget about it. You're not the first person to claim to be from the First Base."
As he spoke, he pointed at a man in the corner and said, "See? That guy was also picked up by us. He also said that he was from the First Base."
