MTL - Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm-Chapter 20 after the earthquake
The shaking of the earthquake lasted for two and a half hours after the first shock started.
Wei Xuan didn't calculate the duration and frequency of the earthquake until this life, because he was crushed under the ruins in his previous life, and every second felt like a year. He only knew that when he and Du Hang emerged from the ruins When I struggled out, it was already pitch black and it was almost dawn.
The magnitude of this earthquake is neither big nor small, because there is no specific equipment to detect and calculate it, so the remaining and experienced seismologists in the base can only speculate. They estimate that the magnitude of this earthquake is about Around five or six levels. But it is the five or six magnitudes that have completely exposed the large number of bean curd projects before the end of the world. Almost 70% of the houses and high-rises in the urban area, especially those newly expanded residential buildings and high-rise buildings in the surrounding area, collapsed in recent years.
What is even more unexpected is the condition of the ground. Most of the roads and roads are cracked, especially the traffic arteries in and out of the city. To the dilemma of nowhere to go.
What's more bitter is that this earthquake is global! In other words, if the buildings and ground in this city collapsed into a mess, then other cities would certainly not be much better off.
Therefore, most of the bases will put the heavy responsibility of building bases in the suburbs, rural areas, county towns and other places after that.
It was not confirmed until the base was released one year after the end of the world—although the cities, especially some high-quality houses, old urban slab buildings and other places were also affected by the earthquake, most of the buildings did not show much damage. Problems still linger in the city.
It is a pity that because humans have not entered the city for a long time, zombies are rampant in the city. After adapting to the new power and speed, many zombies quickly evolved into killing machines one by one. There are also a large number of mutated plants, mutated animals, and zombie animals entrenched in the wreckage of the ruins, attacking passers-by.
All of this forced human beings to completely abandon the city. Only those survivors who had no way out and whose lives were unsustainable would form a team to enter the city, hoping to pull something useful out of the ruins.
At this time, Wei Xuan was struggling to move away the big rock that almost caused a tragedy—the rock was placed in an awkward position, it was not off-centered, and it didn't even touch the edge of the tent, but it was directed at the side of the tent that he had just sat on. He rolled straight to the place where he was sitting, and smashed the temporary stove that he carefully built, the half-eaten instant noodles and the lunch box.
Fortunately, the loss did not expand, and the backpack full of various emergency items that I put aside was not touched. It's just that the place where this thing landed at this time is not suitable - right at the gate of the tent, which made Wei Xuan have to move it away by himself.
Although Du Hang has gradually become familiar with Wei Xuan's command and can help him with some things, he has never encountered this order of "push the stone away" before, so the person who is struggling to move the stone at this moment is There is only one Wei Xuan.
After pushing for a long time, Wei Xuan, who wanted to roll away from the stone but was almost hit by the stone, straightened up and wiped his sweat. When he thought that it was impossible, he moved the tent and changed the position, Du Hang seemed to have sensed the meaning of his action. Suddenly walked over a few steps, and kicked Wei Xuan's surprised gaze - kicked that big rock out!
He stared dumbfoundedly at the big rock that rolled several times before stopping because of an obstacle, and then stared dumbfounded at the still blank expression, but at this time it was obvious that there was a kind of "doing what the master asked, Du Hang, who has a sense of sight of canines and seeks praise after helping the owner. Wei Xuan took a deep breath, twisted his facial muscles to make a smiling expression, raised his hand to stroke Du Hang's hair, and then ran towards the direction where the stone was flying with a bitter face—was the stone kicked away? Wrong, but what it hit was the backpack with medical supplies that I had collected before!
Wei Xuan usually does not need to use medicines, and Du Hang hardly needs any medicines to heal his injuries. But in the last days, general topical medicines, disinfectants, and bandages are still needed. Even if Du Hang suffers some kind of external injury, Wei Xuan still needs to use a knife and bandage him to prevent the wound from growing into a strange shape when he recovers, let alone Wei Xuan himself? If he is injured, he also needs to deal with the wound!
Therefore, there are only a few general anti-inflammatory drugs and common medicines in this backpack, but there are a lot of disinfectant, wound treatment equipment, and bandages.
After Wei Xuan struggled to rescue the backpack from under the boulder, seeing the deformed tweezers, scalpel, thoroughly smashed disinfectant, and medical alcohol that wet all the gauze, he felt a desire. Crying without tears... Well, there are several large and small hospitals nearby. Don’t consider small clinics. Those places will be wiped out by people collecting supplies to escape from the city in the early days of the end of the world. Only large hospitals with a large number of zombies but which are very safe for Wei Xuan and Du Hang can do so at this time. There will be stock.
With a sigh, he poured out all the contents inside, opened the backpack and put it aside to dry, and temporarily put the usable things in another bag, then Wei Xuan turned around and pulled Du Hang, who had been obediently by his side, back to the tent Sleep - if nothing unexpected, there will be no aftershocks tonight. Of course, unless God has trouble with the reborn Wei Xuan and insists on making him suffer.
The narrow tent makes it difficult for two big men to sleep together and even turn over, but no matter how difficult it is, it is much better than sleeping on the open space outside, and Du Hang is different from Wei Xuan. If it is still necessary to ensure normal sleep to replenish energy, then Du Hang has completely lost the need for sleep after turning into a zombie.
If he hadn't been by Wei Xuan's side, then Du Hang would definitely be like ordinary zombies, chasing the survivors all the way to the door, and then perseveringly devoting all the remaining vitality and time to the great cause of knocking on the door like an idiot Up and down, until the people inside either come out, or die, or other prey passing by appear to divert the target, or they simply die unexpectedly.
Such an honest and well-behaved Du Hang is like a large human-shaped pillow. According to the habit that the two of them just formed after camping, they just lay down obediently on the side of the tent, leaving enough space for Wei Xuan and offering one of his arms at the same time. Wei Xuan pulled his thin blanket over as a pillow, yawned and lay down in his arms unceremoniously, and by the way lightly kissed Du Hang's chin—since he had made up his mind , these things became more and more natural.
There are still many things to do tomorrow, such as checking whether there is any problem in the community and building where I lived before. For example, I also need to check whether there are any problems in the dozens of places where I hide food and water. Another example is that I have to take time to go to the hospital, and get some alcohol, disinfectant, medical equipment for surgery, etc...
Although it didn't consume much energy today, the earthquake was enough to challenge people's nerves, making people tense all the time, and they couldn't relax completely until the earthquake stopped completely, even for the reborn Wei Xuan.
However, Wei Xuan finally has a general understanding of the situation afterwards, especially now that Du Hang is by his side... Just like before, just like in the previous life, even if Wei Xuan refused to admit it, he firmly believed in his heart that if there was any danger , Du Hang will definitely protect himself. If he encounters a situation where even Du Hang can't do anything, he will definitely be by his side and accompany him to face the danger, just like the moment before his death in the previous life Same.
The violent explosion before his death in the previous life reappeared in his mind, and the crazy red flames swept towards him and Du Hang who was hugging him tightly, but Wei Xuan didn't have the slightest worry or panic in his heart, instead he put on a smile , looking at the person who could only vaguely see the outline in the darkness: "Good night, Du Hang, I have to get up early tomorrow..."
The morning sun shone between the heaven and the earth, but it illuminated a miserable situation on earth.
Collapsed buildings, buildings, cracked roads, arched pipes, ground. Even the roots of the trees arched out of the soil one by one, twisting ferociously among the rocks, looking so desolate and terrifying.
Wei Xuan was standing in the gazebo at this time, and the two couples and zombies who were dating to watch the sunset were still in the gazebo, but it seemed that because of yesterday's earthquake, they also lost interest in wandering in the park. The older one is sitting on the seat, but the younger one has already got up and is walking aimlessly back and forth in the gazebo within the length of the rope, but every time he walks to a certain distance, he will be unable to do so because of the limitation of the length of the rope. He turned around again and continued walking in the other direction.
Wei Xuan held up his binoculars to observe the situation outside, but the gazebo was not high enough, and what he could see was the park and the one-acre land outside the park, but even such a small area was enough to make people feel comfortable. Feel the ruthlessness of nature.
But fortunately, the buildings around here are quite strong. At least the number of collapsed buildings is not too many, but there are many illegal buildings built by people's furniture, metal guardrails installed on windows and balconies, flower pots and clothes. It fell quite a lot.
Of course, the outdoor units of the air conditioner are indispensable. Just upstairs in a residential area in front of the park, Wei Xuan clearly saw that an outdoor unit has almost slipped out of the installation platform, and now it is only relying on a few wires and pipes. If you pull it hard, God knows when there will be a strong wind and heavy rain, the thing will come down cleanly.
