Doomsday rat

"..." What else can Chuqiu say? It's really fair. He looked up at his younger sister, who was no longer struggling.

"Go and put on the thickest and strongest clothes and shoes, but don't wear too much, don't affect your running!" Hong Tao opened the woman's handcuffs and pointed to Westinghouse.

"I...I don't dare to go back..." Chu Qiu seemed to be enchanted for a while, and became extremely obedient, but he lifted his foot and took two steps before stopping, his face full of prayers.

It was the first time for Hong Tao to enter the Chuqiu sister's room. He had made many excuses to go in and have a look before, but he was blocked by this pungent sister-in-law like an old hen protecting a chick.

Well this time, don't waste your brains thinking of excuses, I was invited in, not only in the living room, but also in the bedroom, watching the woman rummaging through the boxes, looking for it, and then taking off the tattered nightdress and changing it. On jeans, leather jackets, high-top sneakers...

I didn't notice it when I was wearing clothes before. It turns out that Chu Qiu also has a figure that is not inferior to her sister.Although it lacks a little youthful flavor, it has more mature plumpness and roundness, and more flavor.

"Is that so..." Chu Qiu's face was flushed, it was the first time she was so exposed in front of an adult man.But remembering that scene in the morning, I lost the courage to go to the bathroom and close the door to change clothes, so I could only use my back to replace it.

"Very good..." Hong Tao nodded, he really didn't say that the clothes in early autumn were well chosen, but was complimenting others' bodies.It's just that this time is not suitable for talking about those topics, so I skip it vaguely.

"Brother Hong...I..." Chu Qiu's courage only lasted for more than 20 seconds. When the courtyard door was opened, he immediately vented again. Tears hung in his big eyes, and he grabbed the door frame with his hands, unable to move his legs no matter what.

"...Or do as I ordered immediately, or don't go into the yard and find a suitable place to find a way to survive. It's best to take the hanging one with you!" Knocked off the woman's hand from the door frame and pushed her down the steps.The meaning is very clear, if the zombies don't come, don't even think about entering the yard!

"Bastard! Asshole! Smelly shit!" Chu Qiu took off his goggles and wiped away tears, bit his lip and took the first step.

Back then, when I quit my job as a nurse and boarded the train alone with [-] yuan, I also had the idea of ​​success or failure.If you have anything, you can go, but in my heart, I still scolded the landlord's ancestors, the eight generations.

Speaking of early autumn, she is not too squeamish, at least her legs are not weak, and her running speed is not slow, and soon a wandering monster is drawn from the lake.When the guy followed her into the yard, he immediately tripped over the wire on the ground, and then, without any accident, was poisoned by the landlord.

That's right, no matter whether the monster is male or female, the landlord will pierce through the skull at once, and it looks like playing with smashing gophers.It's really cruel, anyway, it's a living creature, the landlord doesn't even blink an eye when he kills him, and he still has a cigarette in his mouth.

"Get ready, I'm going!" As the old saying goes, it's hard to learn alone, but it's very fast to learn.This sentence is simply the truth. Chu Qiu only made two accomplices and felt that he was full of strength. He even helped the landlord to drag the monster's body out of the yard, and took the initiative to seduce the third time. He didn't know whether it was nervous or excited on the tip of his nose. All sweaty.

After resting three times, it took an hour and a half, and 23 monster corpses were piled up at the gate of the courtyard.200 meters to the east and 200 meters to the west, all the monsters wandering on the street, visible in the courtyard gate, wandering around the entrance of the alley, and free to move around the gate of the courtyard have been cleaned up.

"You rest first..." Hong Tao originally wanted to explore further afield, but Chu Qiu's physical strength was really not enough, and he couldn't even pull up while sitting on the ground.

Holding the iron pot lid as a shield in one hand, a mountaineering pick and a 20-liter portable gasoline barrel in the other, a strap in his pocket, a roll of [-]-gauge lead wire on his back, an electric drill on his waist, and a small helmet on For the plastic basin, Hong Tao personally went out.

However, instead of expanding the search range, he tied the nearby courtyard gate with straps and lead wire to prevent the monsters in the courtyard from running out at will in a short period of time.

In addition, the corpse of the monster must be burned as soon as possible. The temperature is so high now that the corrupt corpse is more likely to attract various insects.You can still have some confidence in dealing with monsters. If insects also carry the source of infection, it is called pervasive and hard to prevent.

Whether it is a virus or something else, it is estimated that it is not resistant to high temperature.But burning corpses requires fuel, so what?The most convenient is gasoline.There are a few bottles at home, but the quantity is far from enough.

Where can I find more gasoline?At this time, you must not go to the gas station. The answer is in the car parked on the side of the road.In fact, each car is a small gas station, ranging from dozens of liters to as little as ten liters. If you are lucky, one car is enough.

Do you use an electric drill to get gasoline out of your car?The answer is necessary.The fuel fillers of small passenger cars are all anti-theft. Not only are there iron nets in them to block the insertion of the hoses, but some models also have a bend.

In comparison, it is much more convenient to directly drill through the fuel tank. Anyway, there are no car owners and insurance companies to seek compensation for themselves, so don’t be so particular about it.

Lie on the ground and drill two holes in the fuel tank. The plastic basin buckled on the helmet is used to receive gasoline, and then fill it into the tank.Sounds like a hassle, but it's actually a matter of a few minutes.

"Amitabha, dust returns to dust, everyone rest in peace. Don't blame me for being cruel. It's better to die early and be reborn early than to live like a ghost or a ghost. I'm helping you, so don't thank me. Help me with the publicity, and after I become a ghost, get a good reputation..."

Before noon, Hong Tao finally dragged all the corpses to the middle of the road on the west side, avoiding trees and wires, piled up three piles of corpses on one layer and one layer of wood, poured gasoline, and prayed before the fire.

"Don't look at it, it's disgusting, let's cook, I haven't eaten breakfast, I'm not hungry!" I didn't participate in the burning of corpses in early autumn, I just hid at the gate of the courtyard and watched from a distance, but I didn't escape being criticized. fate.

"...What about you?" Now Chu Qiu didn't dare to talk back, and he didn't dare to leave the landlord too far. Even if he just went to the kitchen, he hoped the man would follow him.Although those monsters were not killed by their own hands, their appearances were vaguely visible, and they would emerge as soon as they closed their eyes.

"I still have to watch the fire, that little gasoline can't burn through..." Hong Tao pointed to a pile of mineral water bottles placed by the roadside, each of which was filled with half a bottle of gasoline.When the fire is small, throw in a few. Don't let the corpse burn halfway down, or it will rot in a few days, which is equivalent to burning in vain.

"Brother Hong... No electricity..." Chu Qiu knew that the landlord was at the gate of the courtyard and would not go far, so he entered the kitchen with peace of mind to prepare lunch.But soon ran out again, with an embarrassed look on his face, and his voice was as low as a mosquito.

"Then what?" Hong Tao was confused by what she said, and even made a special report when there was no electricity. Could it be that the monster was scared stupid!

"The rice cooker doesn't work..." Chu Qiu was even more twisted, and he didn't dare to lift his head.

"You don't know how to cook rice except using an electric rice cooker? Well, I'll teach you!" Hong Tao was enlightened. Well, this shrewd and strong sister who is a good hand at home and abroad is actually a prisoner of modernization. After leaving the electricity, it is basically half a waste.

But this time, Hong Tao didn't spray poison or complain. It's no wonder Chuqiu. In fact, she is much more capable of independent living than most urban children, but she may have neglected some individual items.

"I simmered all the beef in the freezer after eating. Pick the vegetables that are easy to spoil first. Don't save it. After eating these, you may not have fresh vegetables for a long time."

He went to the kitchen and poured the rice washed in the rice cooker into the steamer, put in the water, taught it again, and warned some issues that should be paid attention to. Hong Tao returned to the hospital to continue throwing gasoline bottles, and also found a scaffolding The steel pipe poked the pile of corpses from time to time to allow the air to circulate and burn more fully.

Speaking of cooking in early autumn, the skill of cooking is good, which is due to the fact that she has often helped her parents with work since she was a child.As the saying goes, the poor's child is in charge early, but she doesn't seem to have any appetite, or she is absent-minded, and keeps glancing into the yard.

Chapter 008 World Class Disaster

Hong Tao ate as fast as ever, and ate half a bowl more than usual.Although I didn't do much physical work this morning, I was afraid and used my brain to consume energy. There are more things to do in the afternoon, and I have to feed my stomach first.

"Come on..." Putting down his rice bowl, seeing that Chu Qiu was still feeding rice grain by grain into his mouth, Hong Tao simply pulled a few pieces of meat into the bowl, pulled the woman to get up and walked into the yard.

"Crack...crack...crack..." He walked to Chu Xia with his rice bowl, and the stainless steel spoon was bitten by it before it was brought to his mouth. It was so powerful that he couldn't pull it out at all.

At this time, it can be clearly seen that two teeth have been bitten, but it doesn't seem to know the pain, and it still uses all its strength to bite the spoon without letting go, but it doesn't care about the meat in its mouth.

In order to let Chuqiu give up, Hong Tao went to the refrigerator to get a small piece of raw meat, and sent it to Chuxia's mouth with the signature of the kebab.Unfortunately, Chu Xia still took a bite, neither chewing nor swallowing, but biting fiercely.

"You see, she should not need to eat. You think, there is no blood in a person's body. Even if the stomach can digest, how can nutrients be transmitted? This problem will be faced sooner or later. I can not force it, but you must Think clearly, think about it a day earlier, and get rid of it a day earlier. No one can escape the normal feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death. Thinking more about how to live in the future is the best thing to do now."

Seeing her sister's performance, Chu Qiu felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help crying again.Hong Tao can only put the facts and reason again, and it doesn't matter if he can listen to them or not.

With or without this woman to accompany me, I will live the same life. If she is too obsessed, I can only say sorry. You walk on your single-plank bridge, I walk on my Yangguan Road, and no one will get in your way.

Now I have to do a very, very important thing, and then judge the impact of the mutant monster on the world based on the results of this.If the outbreak is only in a local area, then stay at home and wait for rescue. At most, make a short-term plan of about half a year, and many problems do not need to be considered.

If the whole world is affected, you have to plan according to the worst case, no longer need to follow various laws and regulations, everything can survive as a guideline, and use any means.

After seeing her sister's condition in Chuqiu, she really considered the landlord's words seriously. She can't say that her mood has improved, but she is no longer so restless.

Human beings have a gift that is stronger than all animals, and that is the ability to adapt.If an animal living in the tropics is sent to a large forest in Finland by plane, it is likely to be unable to adapt for a long time, even refuse to eat, and eventually starve to death.

But people don't. When you are hungry and your life is threatened, as long as you have the basic conditions, you can immediately find a way to feed yourself, get rid of the danger as much as possible, and then think about the next meal and what to eat next time.Sustaining life will become the highest human instinct, no one.

She also got busy after eating. She took out the beef from the freezer as instructed by the landlord, put it in the oven to thaw it, cut it into small pieces and blanched it with water, removed the foam, and put various seasonings on it to simmer.

After I was busy with all this, I remembered that I had never seen the landlord, so I hurriedly looked around, and finally found it on the roof.At this time, Hong Tao was assembling something with some long metal poles. The base of the thing was actually fixed on the gable of the North House, much like a large lightning rod.

And there is not one lightning rod, there is also one on the gable wall of the west house and the east house, but it is not as high as the north house.There are also three thin copper wires connected between the three lightning rods, and the tallest one is almost three or four times the height of the main house.

"Brother Hong...I've stewed all the meat...Is this a new weapon?" Although Chu Qiu didn't know what the landlord was doing, he knew that this thing was definitely not a lightning rod, it should be related to dealing with monsters.

"Weapons? Hehehe... Come and help me and then... Oh, what are you hiding from, don't be afraid, you'll know what this is right away!"

Hearing Chu Qiu's question, Hong Tao laughed and almost rolled off the roof.Well, watch too many sci-fi movies, everything is a weapon.If I hold a pole and shout I am Ciri, will I transform into a superhero with a laser sword?

"This is... the antenna of the radio!" In early autumn, he quickly guessed what the three lightning rods and the thin copper wires that were pulled diagonally in the middle were used. Pulled out a radio, was turning the knob and listening.

That's right, she just moved out. She had never seen such a big radio. It was almost the size of an old-fashioned computer monitor. Except the panel was covered with wooden shells, and the battery was outrageous. It was a 12V battery used on an electric bicycle. .

"Not really, it's a full-band radio, and I'm looking for AM radio. With this antenna, I can receive A-class AM radio stations around the world. Don't look bad, it's better than most modern radios. stronger."

Hong Tao didn't immediately explain what this antenna was for, because Chu Qiu couldn't understand it.The thing composed of three lightning rods and thin copper wire is called a dipole antenna, which is used to receive short-wave radio.If you disconnect the two short lightning rods, that's a 15m mast AM antenna.

What is this thing for?Of course, the medium wave antenna receives the medium wave signal, and the broadcast signals of all countries in the world basically have the medium wave band.Shortwave antennas naturally receive radio shortwave signals. There is a thing called a radio. That's right, it's the thing that the agents tick tock in the movie.

It is called a short-wave radio. In theory, as long as there is an antenna with strong directivity and a good enough impedance, it can communicate with all short-wave radio stations on the earth by using ionospheric reflection, and there is no distance limit.

Of course, this is only theoretical. Due to the existence of N electromagnetic interference around the city, for example, a charging pile that is charging an electric vehicle can increase the noise floor received by a nearby short-wave radio station within [-] meters. Also inaudible.

There is nothing wrong with playing ham in China, as long as you get a license, but there is a big problem with using high-power radios and setting up large antennas without permission.If you take it lightly, it is called ignorance of the law, and if you take it seriously, it is a conspiracy.

As the restrictions became more and more strict, Hong Tao didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he sealed up this set of things and hadn't touched it for a long time.

No one cares now, right?If I had known today, I would have ordered a 30-meter-high antenna rack, and had to find a 20-story tower to buy a house on the top floor, and put the antenna directly on the roof, making it the tallest private building in China. Renminbi Power Station!

It's a pity, even if there is such a preparation, there is nothing to brag about now.It is estimated that most of the people in the ham circle have become monsters. No one applauds them. Even if the antenna is installed on the moon and becomes the world's tallest, who will show off!

"...You've worked so hard just to listen to foreign broadcasts!" This explanation made Chuqiu a little angry. Who are they? How to survive now is the problem. In the mood to listen to the radio?

"I said, can you cover up your prejudice against me a little bit, why do you think bad things about me?" Hong Tao was even more unhappy. He was really long-haired and short-sighted, and he was always self-righteous. So a little bit big.

"Then, are you planning to call for help!?" After being criticized, Chu Qiu's mind seemed to understand a little, and he immediately thought of a more positive possibility.

"If I can receive the broadcast signal, I can use this toy to call for help to the outside world. Unfortunately, after two laps, I didn't receive a single medium wave signal. Do you know what this means?"

Hong Tao patted the shortwave radio station on the other side of the stone table, confirmed Chu Qiu's guess, and made the woman's eyes light up again.Then the conversation changed, and this hope was extinguished again.

"...Could it be that the world has become like this!" What does it mean? Even if he didn't even know what medium wave and short wave were in early autumn, he could come up with a generally reliable answer.

No matter at home or abroad, broadcast signals are always available every day. If they are gone, it can only mean one thing. The people who operate these devices are not at work.What caused an entire important industry in the world to suddenly stop working? Looking at my sister who is still hanging under the corridor, the answer comes out.

Chapter 009 Zombies Are Not Scary

"I don't want to speculate like this, but it's useless to deceive yourself... Don't be too busy to draw conclusions, wait for me to try this." Although Hong Tao thought of this result in advance, when he really knew that the whole world was affected by monsters My heart is still heavy.

To be sure, I picked up the shortwave radio's headset again, turned on the laptop connected to the radio, and searched every known frequency band for hams while making a call with my own callsign.

In the early autumn, seeing the landlord skillfully operating these complex equipment that he could not understand, a complex feeling suddenly surged in his heart.Although this man looks a little unreliable and a little obsessed, he is not only calm when he encounters a sudden change, his force value is still high, and his mind is more careful.

Dealing with monsters is like chopping melons and vegetables, and there are so many things, it seems quite safe to stay by his side.At this time, I really can't look at the value of the face. Even if I grow into Pan An, the monsters will not hesitate for a second, and they will not bite less.

But thinking about his previous performance, it seems that he is not very strong, that is, the landlord has a good temper, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago.And it doesn't seem right to say that he is obsessed with sex. After all, he has neither played with himself nor tried to force anything.

"Let's have some coffee first..." In order to make up for his previous bad attitude, Chu Qiu quietly went to his house to get a can of coffee, ran to the kitchen to make it, and brought it over to the stone table.

"Kacha...Tell you the unfortunate news, I haven't received a valid signal." Hong Tao is still carefully distinguishing the sound in the earphone. After drinking the coffee, he took off the earphone and threw it heavily on the laptop screen. Above, you can basically give up.

The electromagnetic environment at this time is surprisingly good, and the noise floor level is almost one-tenth of the usual level.This shows another problem from the side. The power supply of the whole city is almost paralyzed, and there are very few devices that can cause electromagnetic pollution.It is estimated that in another day and a half, when most of the UPS battery packs also run out of power, this situation will be exacerbated.

In the early autumn, the mood that had just improved a little was immediately hit a low point again. The whole city, the whole country, the whole world... the Buddha, God, the Queen Mother and the Avalokiteshvara all stopped eating. This is how people live!

"Then are we helpless?" No, the landlord is still here, he knows so much, maybe there will be a way!

"If you believe me, I will take you to live. Under the current situation, I dare not say that you can live a hundred years, at least not to die of starvation, thirst, or death from illness. But if those monsters have changed , For example, with a higher IQ, it's useless who comes, damn it!"

Looking at the woman who was squatting beside her, holding her arm tightly, looking up with her small face and wide eyes full of hope, Hong Tao said another big truth.Homeopathy also patted the back of her hand, not to comfort her, but to remind her not to use so much force, that she is not a monster and knows it hurts.

"Woohoo ... oh oh ..." In the instantly, I started crying again. I didn't converge at all. I cried loudly, and put her face on the man's arm.This day has been really exciting and scary, physically and mentally exhausted, the huge pressure almost crushed people to death, and I can't bear it anymore.

"Or you guys are so ruthless. In order to torture me, you actually let billions of people be buried with you. Admire! Admire!"

Hong Tao didn't stop the woman from crying. It was a normal human reaction to feel hopeless, and it was a monster who held an indifferent attitude like himself.However, he was not idle, raised his head and looked at the clear sky with words in his mouth.

After crying, the woman changed completely. She went back to the kitchen to stare at the pressure cooker silently, and even glanced at her sister from time to time.

Hong Tao wiped away the tears on his arms, possibly a little snot, and put on a headset to continue working on the computer.This time, instead of calling out, I just use the software to constantly scan each frequency band, trying to find the calls made by others.

But most of my brain is doing another job, planning, planning how to live in the future.Even if you die, you can't commit suicide so simply, leaving Chu Qiu, little uncle, Liu Ruoshuang, Liu Ruoyu, Gloria, Yu Yanan, and millet grains who are studying in the United States...

According to the plot in the online article, at this time, I should find a way to escape the city and find a place with beautiful scenery and green trees to hide from the monsters. Coincidentally, there is also a strong fortress there. Store food, drinking water, oil, clothing, weapons and ammunition...

Or find a car, run rampant along the road, and go through all kinds of hardships and hardships to save parents, siblings, a woman you love, or an old man.Then meet some people along the way, there must be heroines, main supporting roles, big villains, and soy saucers, and there are also bases established by survivors.

But Hong Tao firmly doesn't think so, the city is the home court he is most familiar with, and if he leaves here, he will lose his geographical advantage.

Need to hunt around for food and water in a big city?No need at all.Why do you want to be far away and go to some supermarket to take risks, but treat the resources at your fingertips as nothing.

Whether you live in a hutong or a community, there will always be neighbors.Every neighbor's home is a small warehouse, packed with food, bottled water, mineral water, beverages, medicines, clothes, tools, materials, and more.

And there will be another thing in the hutong, called liquefied petroleum gas, which is usually called gas.In the homes of residents without natural gas, it is the daily fuel, which can not only cook, but also drive water heaters, ovens, small heating boilers, and so on.

Instead of walking across the street and risking being besieged by monsters to go to the supermarket, go door-to-door.All that needs to be dealt with is a few monsters in each neighbor's house, which is much less difficult and dangerous.You can also make various traps in advance, like tripping ropes made of steel wire, or simply put down covers and clips.

Anyway, as long as you use your brain and understand a little common sense, it is easier to kill this brainless monster than to go hunting in Africa.At least the prey is very careful, very agile, and very good at hiding, and the monsters will only follow people stupidly, as if they can't swim.

Some people have said that the neighbors have security doors, such a strong artifact is not something ordinary people can deal with.Hong Tao would like to say that the people who can think this way are basically young people in the city. To sum up, they are wastes who do not work hard, do not distinguish between grains, and are dumbfounded when they leave their parents.

The door lock has never been a reliable thing. It only works when the law takes effect. Without law and order, let alone a fitter, someone with a little hands-on ability can easily open it with the help of various tools. .

Someone else said that if you stay in one place, monsters will come and besiege.At that time, there will be thousands of monsters that will cooperate with each other without any communication equipment, swarming from all directions, blocking every street.

If monsters can have this kind of IQ, as well as organization and leadership, then Hong Tao can only choose to drink nicotine.It's really hard to beat, isn't it billions of painless, tireless, partially bulletproof troops, even humans who don't know how to use weapons can't compete.

The basic condition for Hong Tao to survive is that the monster's IQ is very low, and he can't even have the wisdom of a wolf.

But Hong Tao is not satisfied with living, that is too low-end, not only to live, but also to live with quality, sense of security, and hope, and at the same time try to preserve the fire of human civilization.That is, to unite as many survivors as possible and use the existing energy and equipment to resume production as soon as possible.

In fact, the known monsters are not scary, and those who survive are really scary.As long as there are enough of them, people will start doing the math for themselves.This is also human nature. It will not change because of anything. Once the external pressure is reduced, it will be revealed immediately.

Hong Tao also has no solution to this problem. It's too early to think about it now. Let's take a step by step.Survive first and then talk about other things, otherwise no matter how many ideas you have, it will be in vain.

If you want to live with quality, in addition to food and water, the first thing you need to consider is energy.In early autumn, she almost couldn't eat rice because of the lack of electricity. In fact, not only was she extremely uncomfortable with life without electricity, but Hong Tao herself was also inseparable from electricity.

In other words, most people in the world are probably used to the convenience brought by electricity, and suddenly losing it will be very, very uncomfortable, even helpless and life-threatening.

Chapter 010 Energy Around You

So is there a way for Hong Tao to restore power to the grid?Two words, delusion!

He is not an Iron Man, and he can supply most of the city's electricity with an energy core on his body.In the current situation, if you want to solve the power supply, firepower, wind power, nuclear power, including traditional power grids, must not be counted on, and you have to find another way.

Like solar panels!This thing is not new, Hong Tao has also used it.Many years ago, when he did not buy a fuel-fired generator, he went fishing in the wild. In order to charge his mobile phone and watch the World Cup on a portable TV, he bought a solar panel and matching batteries and inverters.
