Kuang Qianli was shocked: "You are really good at dismantling things. Where did you get those pliers?"
Anyway, they didn’t take it from the shelter. They just took a sack when they came out.
Qiao Xuejun: "I took it out from the cabinet in the utility room."
As she spoke, she took out the Swiss Army knife from her pocket, pulled out a screwdriver from it, and unscrewed the screw from the wall.
The screw fell off, and Qiao Xuejun unplugged the wires along the way. When he reached the socket board, he used pliers to cut the wires.
Kuang Qianli: "Master, what did you do before? Plumber?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Hurry up and get to work. Look, Doctor Wang is busy."
Wang Juanfeng was removing the cotton from the sofa, pulling it out handful by handful. He seemed to be more skilled at it than Qiao Xuejun.
She raised her eyes and said, "This cotton is okay. We can process it and use it as a tourniquet."
Kuang Qianli then started too. He paid more attention to some electrical appliances, and took away everything that could be taken away, including remote controls. He dismantled the things that could not be taken away, and took away the useful ones.
They had almost completely demolished the house before the sun came up.
For several days they searched the empty houses.
That morning, Qiao Xuejun and his friends had walked to an empty house in the town about 800 meters away from their home.
This place is far from the center of the town, but very close to Wang Juanfeng's original clinic.
It was still dark, and Kuang Qianli, who was leading the way, said, "There are so many cases of mad cow disease along the way. What do you think they ate to survive all this time? How come there are so many cases of mad cow disease? Were there so many before?"
The three people walked along the houses on the street, hunched over, trying to minimize their presence, and walked forward by feeling the base of the walls.
Qiao Xuejun said from behind: "Supplies are scarce now. If you go out to look for food on an empty stomach, you will easily be attacked by mad cow disease and find it difficult to fight back. It is not surprising that the number of infected people has increased."
Wang Juanfeng introduced in a low voice: "This house belongs to the Xiao family. Because they went to work in the city, the Xiao family moved to the city and no one was at home for several years."
But even so, they were prepared for the possibility that this empty house had already been looted. After all, almost all the houses along the way had been looted by the surviving villagers.
But after approaching the house, Qiao Xuejun found something strange. Although this house looked not much different from the others, with damaged windows and a door wide open, the window glass was shattered, but the steel security bars on top were still there, and the door was still clean, with no signs of mad cow disease.
There were footprints on many of the houses they visited before. The first-time robbers would kick and damage the doors, leaving footprints behind.
Wang Juanfeng twitched his nose, frowned in a strange way, turned around and told Qiao Xuejun: "It smells like mugwort."
Qiao Xuejun's sense of smell was not as sharp as that of Wang Juanfeng, who majored in medicine. After hearing what she said, she could smell a little.
But to treat mad cow disease, all you need is mugwort. Someone has sprinkled mugwort here - does anyone live here?
The first person to stop was Kuang Qianli. He looked at Qiao Xuejun with a strange expression: "There shouldn't be anyone here."
He thought there was no one in Qiao Xuejun's room, so he went in and got stabbed.
Qiao Xuejun pursed her lips and looked at the house: "Let's go in and take a look first."
After all, the door was open. If there was someone at home, would they leave the door open?
Kuang Qianli walked in front and went into the house.
Wang Juanfeng and Qiao Xuejun followed in.
Qiao Xuejun touched the pocket around his waist.
Previously, her small leather belt was used to hold a slingshot, but now she also held a pistol. The pistol was not small and a bit out of place, but it was hidden under her clothes and no one could find it.
The courage brought by sufficient firepower is truly unlimited. Think about the 17 bullets inside. Now Qiao Xuejun is not afraid at all.
The house is very big. After entering, the first floor is not empty like the outside of the house. It has everything.
After seeing clearly, Qiao Xuejun froze in place, and made a prompt decision: "Let's go, there must be someone there."
Robbing something from a living person and robbing something from a dead person are two different things.
They can loot empty houses and collect supplies for storage. If they really can't survive, it's not surprising that they will resort to cannibalism, but at this stage, it's not the time to show the evil of human nature, so it's inappropriate to rob living people.
Kuang Qianli and Wang Juanfeng both obeyed Qiao Xuejun's orders out of habit and did not raise any objections. When Qiao Xuejun said to leave, they could just turn around and leave.
But as the three of them slowly retreated, a noise suddenly came from the house, on the second floor.
Qiao Xuejun stopped immediately and looked up at the stairs.
The other two also approached Qiao Xuejun cautiously, with their backs pressed against each other in a defensive posture.
Kuang Qianli took out the crossbow he made, and Wang Juanfeng held a scalpel in his hand.
A sound came from upstairs, like the sound of something hitting a cup and falling to the ground, and soon a voice came from above: "Who? Who's coming in?"
It was the voice of a weak man.
The three of them looked at each other and no one spoke.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the stairs to the second floor. A figure slowly appeared there. There was no light in the room, but she could tell it was a man. He was bent over, holding his stomach with one hand, looking down at the three of them.
Qiao Xuejun said, "We came in accidentally and didn't take anything from you. Let's leave now."
The man looked down at the three of them, and finally his eyes stopped at Wang Juanfeng, asking doubtfully: "Doctor Wang?"
He knew Dr. Wang because they lived nearby.
