Chapter 2 Things in the Ruins
“Brother Liu said the same thing, even if we can’t hold on to this place for a long time!”
beside,
Another young man with a crew cut echoed.
The young man’s name is He Shan. He has extensive experience in survival in the wild. He has many fans on the Little Black Book short video platform. Fans even thought that his wild survival ability could be at least ranked among the top ten in Xia Kingdom.
"That's it. Let's go there quietly at night and have a look. No matter what, there can be no problem with his safety."
Liu Ning pulled the large travel bag aside.
This time they brought a lot of stuff, which can last at least a week.
Jingle Bell.
But just when Liu Ning, He Shan and others were about to take a break, Liu Ning's phone suddenly rang.
Pick it up and take a look,
Liu Ning immediately walked aside and answered the phone, and bowed subconsciously.
“Chairman, you”
However, before Liu Ning could finish speaking, a voice came from the phone,
“Old Liu, what’s the situation over there now? Have you arrived in a small town?”
“Chairman, we just arrived this morning and we are setting up a tent!”
Once you hear it,
Liu Ning hurriedly replied.
The call was from Xu Xing's father, Xu Lang, chairman of Xu Medical Group.
“Pitch a tent? How is the environment there?”
A moment of silence,
Xu Lang's voice came again.
“Chairman, this place is really in ruins. It’s nothing but desolate. It can’t be desolate any more. I think Xiaoxing can hold on for a day or two at most.”
Liu Ning subconsciously looked back and glanced around, and said truthfully.
“Hold on for a day or two? Okay! Then I’ll wait for your good news!”
Xu Lang could clearly be heard breathing a sigh of relief through the phone receiver.
“Chairman, don’t worry! I’ll call you as soon as I have any news.”
“Yeah! But he’s going to have a tantrum, so you must ensure his safety and nothing will happen to him!”
Xu Lang said again.
“You have to be at ease.”
Binghu Oil Town is very large. The property rights of the abandoned houses in Xu Xing’s hands show that the town is two kilometers long from east to west and three kilometers wide from north to south.
so,
Xu Xing didn’t know that there were four people hiding in the ruins deep in the town.
At this moment,
He was holding an engineering shovel and came to a corner of a ruined wall near the national highway.
This is the place he finally chose to spend the night after spending nearly half an hour.
There are only three adobe walls in this ruined place, and there is nothing on the side near the highway. The area enclosed by the three adobe walls is about 35,6 square meters.
The reason why I chose this place is because the ruined earth wall is thick enough and strong enough, and it is right on the edge of the national highway!
in addition,
There is a large pile of sand behind the ruins, which can serve as a wind barrier and there is no need to worry about being crushed by other ruined walls.
“I don’t know what these ruins were used for before?”
Standing in front of the ruined wall,
Xu Xing rolled up his sleeves and muttered to himself.
Although the adobe wall of this ruin is very thick, the inside of the ruins is not flat. Various residual garbage, large pieces of waste adobe stuck together, collapsed wood and sand are piled up all over the ruins.
If you want to stay here overnight, you must clear out all the garbage inside.
Poof!
After a while, Xu Xing came to the corner where there was less garbage in the ruins. Not to mention the dust, it felt like there were a lot of hard things underneath, which was very difficult to deal with.
“It seems like we have to clean out the big things here before cleaning up the sand. Otherwise it will be a waste of energy and inefficient.”
When the dust disperses,
Bah!
Spitting out the dust he just breathed in, Xu Xing frowned and stood up.
Although Xu Xing is a top chef and is very particular about food and drink, the goal he set for himself today is to build a campsite that can last for a long time.
Therefore, we will not waste time setting up a stove to boil water for cooking today, nor will we do other things.
"rise!"
Just do it. Xu Xing immediately put down his engineering shovel and began to clean up the large pieces of adobe that were still stuck together with his bare hands.
“Wait, this is the old wooden beam?”
However, not a few pieces of adobe were lost.
Xu Xing looked down again, but his eyes lit up.
I saw a wooden pile head with a diameter of thirty to forty centimeters exposed under the adobe. The head of the wooden pile did not seem to be much decayed.
From my memory, in the 1970s and 1980s, houses were built with wooden beams and rafters, and some beams and rafters were specially treated to prevent them from decaying.
I think the house must have been in good condition when the original residents of the town left. The back of the house collapsed due to disrepair and the wooden beams and rafters were trapped underneath.
“Not bad! Not bad! It’s a good thing. It can be used for making fire or as other things later! And maybe there are other things besides wooden beams.”
Xu Xing gained a lot of energy and immediately started cleaning the adobe along the log.
The supplies he brought this time include all kinds of tools, and he also dabbled in some carpentry work when he was on Earth. He can't say that he is proficient in all kinds of mortise and tenon joints, but he can make simple beds and tables.
One minute and two minutes.
Time flies, and more than two hours have passed in the blink of an eye.
Three o'clock in the afternoon, under the blazing sun,
Xu Xing seemed to have forgotten the heat and fatigue, and in the end he even started working shirtless.
At this time, the appearance of the ruins has changed a lot from before.
The originally high pile of ruins looks much smoother. There is a pile of wood beside the ruined outer wall. In addition, there are many large iron nails connecting the wood.
These iron nails are about the thickness of a thumb and are rusty on the surface but still functional.
Just as Xu Xing guessed,
In addition to many wooden rafters, there are also some other things in the ruins, especially iron nails used on various construction sites.
Hang!
Get up,
After throwing out another big iron nail, Xu Xing stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.
Either because I came to another world, or because of the sense of surprise when I dug out useful things from time to time when clearing the ruins, I didn't feel any fatigue after working for two consecutive hours, and I drank a bottle in the middle of it. of mineral water,
Even if I can work for another two hours, it won’t be a problem.
“The large pieces of adobe and unruly wood have almost been cleared away. Now it will be much easier to clean it up with the engineer shovel!”
Taking a deep breath,
Xu Xing looked at the inside of the ruins, which was already pleasing to the eye, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
When I was cleaning up a corner of the ruins, I found that the red brick floors that were previously paved on the ground are still there. As long as the remaining sand and soil waste are cleaned out,
Let alone setting up a tent or even setting up a bed inside, there is no problem in placing some other things.
“It is detected that there are scraps that can be pawned around, and the scrap **** system is officially launched.”
But just when Xu Xing turned around and walked towards the outer wall to get the weapon shovel, a mechanized voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
“Hmm? What’s going on? Who.”
The sudden sound startled Xu Xing, especially in such a deserted place. No matter how brave he was, he couldn't stand the sudden sound in his ears.
However, before Xu Xing could regain his senses,
next moment,
Xu Xing's ears actually heard several more sounds in succession.
“Ding, the system is being bound to the host. Please prepare the host for system fusion. After the system is integrated with the host, it will follow the host permanently.”
