◎The 128th Happy Day: The decadent otaku high school student who saved the world◎
Jiang Muyun did not ask Captain Yu how many people he had found so far.
She was afraid that she would regret it after asking.
After Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen returned, they began to pack up their supplies.
Captain Yu also said that this was an operation he organized in his private capacity and he would only use his own private property.
If Jiang Muyun and others need anything, they can tell him. He cannot guarantee that he can get it all for them, but he will definitely not be stingy as long as he needs it, including fuel and weapons.
Jiang Muyun did not give him a list immediately, nor did he refuse Captain Yu to pay the majority of the required supplies.
Jiang Muyun has a lot of resources like fuel, but the source is difficult to explain, so it is better to hand it over directly to Captain Yu.
The transfer station had been established for so long, Jiang Muyun doubted that Captain Yu and his men hadn't found the tools to chisel away at the rock wall. The arsenal was such a tempting prospect, even if someone chiseled with bare hands, they should have been able to break through the mountain on the other side.
Although Jiang Muyun didn't want Captain Yu to prepare anything for her and Chu Buwen to use on the road, she still gave Captain Yu a lot of suggestions on material preparation.
Taking advantage of the fact that both of their "warehouses" were there, they simply packed up all the supplies they were going to take on the road.
Anyway, they were planning to ship out a few ships, so they could take other supplies with them.
When it comes to long-distance journeys, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen can guarantee with confidence that no one in the entire Blue Star has more experience than them.
If there is any problem in the major areas of food, clothing, housing and transportation, they will suffer a lot.
There are two aspects to pay attention to when it comes to clothing: one is to keep warm and the other is to prevent danger.
The temperature around Nanshi now seems to have reached the new spring season, with a temperature of over 20 degrees, which is just right, neither too cold nor too hot. However, it is hard to say if you go to other places.
They said they were heading north, but is it winter, summer, or the new spring in the north now?
It’s hard to explain.
After all, the latitudes of the two places are quite different, and given the current moodiness of the Blue Planet, the seasons in the two places may not be the same.
Maybe the capital is still in the dry season, with the sun shining every day.
It is also possible that winter has already arrived in the capital, and the land is now covered with ice for thousands of miles.
They have to consider both situations.
The underwear you wear must be a short-sleeved shirt in summer.
Wear a three-proof jacket with a detachable thermal liner inside, and drawstrings on the cuffs and trouser legs to tighten them to keep out mosquitoes.
The shoes they bought were waterproof military boots from the Nanshan warehouse. They were a bit cold to wear in winter and a bit hot to wear in summer, but they were sturdy and durable enough. Carrying two pairs of wool socks with them could solve the problem of keeping warm.
If the temperature really drops to dozens of degrees below zero, neither thermal lining nor wool socks will be of any use.
At that time, no matter what you wore, if you went out and were blown by the cold wind for ten minutes, you would be frozen to death. It was time to stay in seclusion for the winter and not struggle and risk your life on the road.
Needless to say, you have to bring drinking water, a water purifier called Life Straw, a set of outdoor kitchen utensils, a magnesium rod, and a few pieces of compressed dry food. These are all things you need to carry with you.
In addition, it is enough to prepare enough food for five or six days. If you don’t have enough, you can go to other bases to exchange it on the way, or bring a mushroom bag and make mushrooms yourself.
As for accommodation, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen would never use sleeping bags.
In their previous lives, they would rather wear two more worn cotton-padded jackets and curl up than sleep in a sleeping bag.
If you are attacked while sleeping in a sleeping bag, you will not be able to react at all. Instead of relying on the sleeping bag to keep warm, they would rather carry two more hand grenades. If they can't find a cave to sleep in, they will manually blow up a hole to sleep in.
We are rich now and no longer suffer the grievances we suffered in the past.
This is also the key point that Jiang Muyun reminded Captain Yu.
Don’t bring a sleeping bag. If you really don’t have time, bring a moisture-proof mat. Also, prepare a compressible down quilt for Professor Chen. We can manually pump air into it and compress it when we wake up during the day. It doesn’t take up much space.
Even if we travel in a group and have mutant animals with us as warnings, you cannot predict what you will encounter in the wild.
If you have mutant animals here, there might be some there too, or the ones attacking you might be mutant animals.
As soon as your cat or dog starts barking, the other person pounces on you.
And you?
You're zipping up your sleeping bag.
There was a fighting outside and the sound of gunfire was deafening, but the people in the tent were still sleeping like caterpillars.
Transportation is more complicated.
The main reason is that the road conditions they may encounter later will also be very complicated.
The road ahead may be all water, or it may be a desert or swamp after a while.
They can't just abandon the boat at this time, right?
Even if they are willing to do so, they cannot guarantee that there will be no water route after this land route.
If the boat is lost, can they swim over?
Or buy it now?
The price is too high.
The most important thing for a long journey is to travel light. Even if they carry scarce supplies with them, they can't bring much. It is definitely enough to exchange for food on the way, so what about changing for a boat?
This is a bit embarrassing.
Anyway, if there is no water, they definitely won’t be able to carry the boat with an engine.
But if you use a purely manual inflatable boat directly, and you encounter a situation where there is water behind you... that would be too disgusting.
Jiang Muyun's suggestion was that if Captain Yu had enough fuel, they should go east and head north along the coastline.
There is certainly no shortage of survivor bases in coastal areas, and they can find places to exchange food. If they encounter a place where the water becomes shallow, they also have the options of venturing into the sea and waiting to reach a place with the same latitude as the capital, then turning west and returning inland, or abandoning the ship and setting sail.
The choice depends entirely on the climate at the time.
Although this route may result in the loss of the boat, the possibility of encountering unpleasant road conditions such as water-land-water will be greatly reduced.
And since it has been decided that most of the routes will be covered by water, there will be much more flexibility in terms of transportation capacity.
They were even able to bring a couple of go-karts.
This kind of kart would definitely not be qualified to be on the road before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, its wide tires and lightweight body would make it the most practical motor vehicle in the end of the world.
Whether it's desert, mountains or mud, it can run wildly.
Apart from burning oil, there are basically no disadvantages.
Of course, this single and fatal flaw is enough to make it give up the title of the best car of the apocalypse to the mountain bike.
Jiang Muyun even said that if Captain Yu didn't have enough fuel, she could provide some support.
She knew very well that the longer she stayed on the road, the greater the danger.
This is not just ordinary +1+1+1, but direct exponential growth.
If you delay for one day, it might be a year before you set out again.
Who can guarantee that they can survive this extreme weather without being fully prepared?
So the faster they go, the better.
Another thing is self-defense weapons.
Jiang Muyun didn't say anything.
Things that they are used to and know how to use are truly useful to them and can be used as life-saving tools.
The most typical example is Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen’s daily self-defense habits.
People who stay outdoors in the apocalypse usually choose short weapons as self-defense weapons that they carry with them and never let go of. Longer weapons such as crowbars are hung around their waists as backup.
Because long weapons are not flexible enough when attacked at close range, and may not be able to be used in certain special locations.
When it comes to choosing short weapons, they would disassemble the traditional large iron scissors and use half of the scissors as weapons, instead of choosing common short weapons such as short knives and daggers, then wrapping them with ropes and tying them around their wrists.
The reason is simple. The danger level of long-term outdoor activities is completely different from going out to collect supplies. They need to be on guard against all people, animals and even plants that appear near them at all times, even when they are sleeping. They must never let go of their weapons for self-defense.
Among short weapons, scissors have a handle, which makes them difficult to slip out of the hand. Compared with wrapping a rope around the handle and leaving a section to tie around the wrist, scissors are more convenient to put in and take out, and to change hands. They are easy to use and not sticky.
After all, everyone needs to use both hands to do things occasionally - such as meeting physiological needs and pulling up pants.
There's always a knife hanging from your wrist, and it's really easy to hurt yourself at times like this.
But if we put down the knife at this time, we are afraid that there are some people or animals whose quality needs to be improved, and they will take this opportunity to disgust others.
Jiang Muyun himself is cautious enough. When he is not sure that the surroundings are absolutely safe, he would rather endure it than take risks.
But she had seen with her own eyes someone being chased by a mutant badger without even pulling up his pants.
That scene was... so tragic.
Just thinking about it makes me so embarrassed that I want to punch Blue Star to pieces.
Moreover, when fighting with humans or mutant animals, if you cannot kill the opponent with one blow, the blood on your hands may cause the dagger to slip out of your hand, or even cut your hand when stabbing because you cannot hold the handle. Scissors will not do this.
Most importantly, it's common enough.
This is the survival skill that Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen have figured out in real life.
However, if we replace him with someone like Captain Yu who is a professional, he is an expert with a knife and ordinary people cannot compare with him. The experience of Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen may not be applicable to him.
For an elderly person like Professor Chen, knives and guns are not suitable for her. Even a pistol does not mean that there is no recoil at all.
According to Jiang Muyun, the most suitable way for Professor Chen to protect himself is to fill a spray bottle with poison and carry two hand-grenades in his pocket.
"Of course, Professor Chen isn't going to throw the grenade for fun. She's going to use it to threaten people." Jiang Muyun warned seriously, "Make sure you explain this to her clearly."
After all, everyone cherishes their lives, especially those in the apocalypse. No one would want to die with an old lady.
But if the old lady had directly blown up the hand-grenade, the result would be hard to predict.
If you don't throw it hard enough and don't throw it to the right place, there will be no room for negotiation.
The main reason why Captain Yu came to see Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen today was because the soldiers at the transfer station detected that the water flow speed had accelerated recently, and it was very likely that a flash flood was coming.
Captain Yu came to remind them that it would be better not to rush home in the next two days, but Jiang Muyun pulled him aside and told him a lot of things to pay attention to on the road and what supplies to prepare in advance.
At first, Captain Yu just nodded, but later he took out a pen and paper and started taking notes.
After hearing this, Captain Yu couldn't help but look up and stare at Jiang Muyun carefully for a while: "Didn't I say this before? I'm really curious about what you two were doing before the apocalypse."
Ever since the raid on the Western Suburbs base, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen have proven that they are not like ordinary people in terms of combat proficiency or sense of danger.
But it doesn't look like he has received systematic training.
If these were trained after the end of the world, then Captain Yu could only say that they were gifted.
If the country was not in chaos right now, he would definitely recruit these two people into the army. After a few years of training, they would definitely become legendary figures of the new generation of urban soldier kings.
While Jiang Muyun was talking to Captain Yu, he also checked the lists of supplies prepared by both sides to see if there were any omissions.
After hearing what Captain Yu said, she replied without even looking up, "Don't worry. We're both pure-blooded Chinese. We don't believe in religion or practice martial arts, and we've never been abroad. The only time I spoke to a foreigner was when I was in preschool and had just started English class. I was forced to ask a foreigner how are you, but he turned out to be from Taiwan and his English wasn't very good."
Captain Yu looked up and pretended to be calm: "It's not that serious..."
Chu Buwen checked off a few items on the medicine list and handed it to Jiang Muyun. He said to the company commander, "Actually, it's not that we can't talk about our pre-apocalyptic identities now."
"He really has a hidden identity!" Captain Yu became interested.
He looked at Jiang Muyun, then glanced at the things he had written on the paper. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "You have a good family background, but you haven't received any systematic training. Could it be that you two are members of the legendary Hua-Guolong Group? The kind that specializes in underground affairs and doesn't want to be discovered to have connections with the official authorities, so they only receive unconventional training?"
Jiang Muyun's focus was completely off: "There really is a Dragon Group in China?"
Captain Yu was stunned: "How would I know? I'm not asking you."
Jiang Muyun looked disdainful. "Shouldn't elites like you be strictly managed in the army? Where do you get all this nonsense from every day? And you actually believe it."
Captain Yu couldn't stand anyone questioning his professionalism, and immediately said angrily, "I've only read this in the past two years! And the author wrote it so realistically, I even suspect the author is a member of the Dragon Group. What a mess!"
Jiang Muyun filled in a few more items on the medicine list that she had in her space, then handed it to Chu Buwen silently, saying casually, "Okay, I know you're not at a high enough level and can only read novels to imagine the daily lives of secret service members. Why are you yelling so loudly?"
Captain Yu had just suspected that he had become obsessed with reading novels, but when he saw Jiang Muyun's attitude, he became a little uncertain again.
Captain Yu asked suspiciously, "You both said it's the end of the world, and all confidentiality regulations are invalid. So, what are your identities?"
Jiang Muyun went to see Chu Buwen.
You just said it yourself, so you have to make up for it yourself.
Chu Buwen looked innocent.
Why did I just say that? I just said that there is nothing that we cannot tell about our identities before the apocalypse - there is really nothing that we cannot tell.
Jiang Muyun finished checking for deficiencies and returned the list of supplies prepared by Captain Yu to him. Then he exchanged it with Chu Buwen and checked it again. He didn't want to pay any attention to these two older patients with middle school syndrome.
Captain Yu was tortured by curiosity. Chu Buwen took the list, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Actually, Jiang Muyun and I have the same identity as before the end of the world. There are many people like us in this world. We have always been carrying a responsibility."
Captain Yu hadn't expected that his nonsense might actually be true, and he immediately pretended to listen attentively.
Then he heard Chu Buwen say seriously, "We are just decadent otaku high school students who travel through time and space, are reborn every day, and occasionally save the world!"
Jiang Muyun added seriously, "It should be about sixty months into the second semester of our senior year."
Captain Yu took a deep breath calmly and said, "You've traveled through time and space so many times, but have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?"
