Chapter 319 Go Back and Burn It Again
It took more than ten minutes to hike by land to cover a distance of four or five hundred meters.
The road was now littered with charred rat corpses. It was no longer disgusting but extremely creepy.
"Go back and burn it again."
Han Ying could see from the spotlight on the side that at least half of the rats had been killed by them.
As for the remaining mice, I thought they would either continue to move forward or escape.
But Han Ying discovered that the remaining rats were actually gnawing on the corpses of the rats that had been burned to death.
The smell of burning, along with the stench coming from the corpses, might attract rats even more?
Lu Yuan backed the car up, this time at a much faster speed than before.
Wherever the RV passed, the mice that were greedy for food directly assimilated with their companions.
After burning it again, Lu Yuan continued to drive the car forward.
The flame gun was still on, but this time it did not stay on after burning.
Instead, he drove the RV forward.
Thousands of dead rats lay behind them, covering the entire road until its original appearance was unrecognizable.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted, as they had just left the base and were already plagued by rats.
I don’t know what I will encounter on the road ahead.
Just now, groups of rats rushed to the RV, so almost the entire surface of the car was contaminated with the virus carried by the rats.
It needs to be disinfected several times.
For everyone's safety, the RV is not suitable to continue driving forward.
So today I could only drive about ten kilometers before I was forced to stop.
The RV was still moving very slowly, and Lu Yuan wanted to find a suitable place to stay.
Because we need to disinfect the RV, we have to find a more open place.
While Lu Yuan was looking for a place to park, Han Ying was already preparing disinfectant.
There are two built-in sprayers on the top of the RV, which are used for washing the car.
Han Ying poured disinfectant and detergent into the spray container, sprayed it once first, and then disinfected it thoroughly later.
Dishwashing liquid is a must, and the amount cannot be too little.
The rats that climbed onto the RV were all covered in corpse oil, so now the entire outside of the RV was probably covered in disgusting oil stains.
If you want to remove oil, the easiest way is to use dishwashing liquid.
Lu Yuan finally parked the car between two buildings that had not collapsed, but there was no shade above, so they would have to build one manually later.
The lights around the RV were turned on, and everyone put on full gear and remained on alert after getting out of the car.
Han Ying took the dog and searched the area, only returning after making sure there was no one else.
Qin Qinghai was climbing onto the roof of the RV with a sprayer on his back.
He stood on it and shook the handle of the sprayer, spraying alcohol on the roof of the car.
Others were holding rags and scrubbing around the RV.
Just now, Han Ying had used the sprayer that came with the RV to spray hypochlorous acid disinfectant.
After Qin Qinghai finishes spraying the alcohol, wait another ten to twenty minutes and then spray disinfectant again.
Clean and spray repeatedly several times to ensure safety.
But everyone felt a little sad when seeing the large amount of disinfectant and water sprayed out.
What is more precious than food now is water.
Although Han Ying and her team bought the water from the base, it was still a pity to see the water flowing onto the ground.
Han Ying's RV has a huge 2,500-liter water tank, which she filled up before leaving.
She told others that she bought all the water from the base, but in fact she released it from the space talisman.
Before the extreme cold came, the whole world was in great shortage of water, and the base was no exception. Where did they get so much water to sell to her?
"Xiao Han, I think it's almost done. Can we just spray it with disinfectant later?"
The sprayer on the top of the RV kept spraying water out, which made He Xiu feel heartbroken.
Although Han Ying told them that there was plenty of water in the RV's water tank, they were used to saving money and did not dare to waste even a drop of it.
When they wash their faces and take a bath, they still use thin cotton towels dipped in water to wipe them.
I even don’t dare to use towels because they are too absorbent and thin cotton towels absorb less water.
"Yes Aunt He, it's almost done."
Han Ying naturally knew that He Xiu was worried about the water that was lost, so she didn't explain anything.
Turn off the sprayer on the roof, wait for it to dry, then spray disinfectant carefully again.
After thoroughly disinfecting and cleaning the car, it was already past three o'clock.
On the second day of the trip, I only clocked in 17 kilometers.
The road ahead is long, but fortunately everyone has a good attitude.
They couldn't imagine how many people would die if the large force following the base encountered such a swarm of rats.
Will these people be so lucky that they can all pass safely?
So now everyone is very fortunate to be following Han Ying and the others.
Even though we walked a little slowly, safety was the most important thing.
After washing the car, Lu Yuan dragged down a sunshade from the back of the car that was originally used to protect against off-road motorcycles.
Several people worked together to build a simple awning.
After the awning was set up, everyone got back into the car.
Everyone took off their protective clothing, soaked it in disinfectant, and took off their masks and discarded them directly.
Spray the whole body with disinfectant again.
Even so, the whole car is often filled with the smell of disinfectant.
But for safety reasons, this must not be omitted.
We just had a rat infestation and everyone’s appetite is not very good.
He Xiu had already prepared the food and put it in the refrigerator, but no one seemed to want to eat it.
There was no other choice, He Xiu could only cook a new pot of mung bean porridge, add some sugar to it, and everyone drank a bowl.
Wait until your appetite improves before eating something else.
During this period, Lei Minghu and Wu Tingfang were still on duty, and everyone went back to rest.
Han Ying sent Tangyuan into the space to eat, and she continued to feed the livestock and collect eggs.
She just drank some mung bean porridge. Although her appetite was not very good, Han Ying knew that she was not full at all.
Naturally, I didn't want to eat any big fish or meat, so I just took half a piece of ice watermelon and ate it while sitting on the swing chair.
After eating, he gave the dog and himself a bath, then came out to let Lu Yuan go in.
After reminding Lu Yuan to eat something, Han Ying slipped out of the space.
Lu Yuan didn't eat anything else. He took out a string of frozen lychees to eat.
After eating the lychees, he took the basket and went into the field to start picking vegetables.
After Han Ying left the space, she leaned against the head of the bed and continued to take out the constant temperature fabric. She planned to make socks today.
Socks are relatively simple and she can make one in half an hour.
After making two pairs of socks, Han Ying entered the space and brought Lu Yuan out.
The two of them lay on the bed and talked about the rat swarm they encountered today.
Although rat swarms after the apocalypse always travel in groups, such a large scale is still relatively rare.
I'm afraid that these tens of thousands of rats must have migrated here from somewhere.
