MTL - The Zombies Are Coming But I’m Laying Down At Home-Chapter 56 56th
The voice is dry and hoarse, so it is not familiar. But the name and tone are very familiar.
Fu Erdie turned her head to take a closer look. In the dimness, her cousin's thin face looked extra kind.
There was a small light next to the dining car where the food was distributed. My cousin pulled Fu Erdie over excitedly, barely able to see Fu Erdie's face clearly in the dim light, and his face flushed with excitement: "It's really you!"
He turned his head and hurriedly shouted: "Mom! Mother-in-law! Cousin has come to our base!"
The two who were supporting each other in the back hurriedly walked this way. Fu Erdie pushed her cousin away to help the two.
When she was in front of her eyes and saw two thin faces, Fu Erdie's voice choked: "Grandma, Auntie, I'm here to find you."
The two of them smelled very bad, and they could see red, swollen, peeling, festering and festering skin diseases everywhere on their bodies, but Fu Erdie couldn't care less about them. down.
The aunt hugged her back and cried, but the grandmother was stunned for a while and didn't respond.
Fu Erdie realized that it was not good. My grandmother has high blood pressure!
She turned around suddenly and faced her grandmother. Sure enough, there was surprise on her face, but she had lost consciousness in an instant.
Fu Erdie didn't even think about it, and immediately greeted Sang Wenhao back to the temporary single room.
The three flew into the air and left an urgent sentence: "Auntie, Yuan Bai, you wait for me here, and grandma will come to you after I settle down."
Cao Yuanbai stood on the ground, stunned as he watched the figures disappearing quickly in the night, turned to look at his mother and said in surprise, "They are supernatural powers!"
Cao Rui's focus was not here, she was very happy with the information revealed by Fu Erdie.
"Xiao Die can help her mother with the treatment! She just said that if she settles her grandmother, there must be a way to heal her!"
Cao Rui was very happy, the more she thought about it, the happier she almost wanted to spin around.
After a while, she forcibly calmed down and asked Cao Yuanbai to go make dinner together.
Cao Yuanbai followed reluctantly: "My cousin is obviously here to find us. She is a superhuman and will have food from superhumans. She will take us to eat delicious food in a while. Why do we still eat pig food?"
The phrase "pig food" caused the curious and jealous people next to him to glare at him.
"Don't talk nonsense, and don't assume things you don't know yet." Cao Rui hurriedly stopped people, "We have two meals a day, if we don't eat now, we will be hungry all night. No matter what happens to Mom, we must first Make dinner."
The people around were already attracted by this sudden scene.
Everyone in the queue began to inquire, and even the people who had already eaten in front of them turned around and surrounded the mother and son, wanting to see what news was there.
Needless to say, how Cao Rui responded to the inquiries of the people around her, Fu Erdie hurriedly took her grandmother back to the temporary residence, entered the tin box in the room, and began emergency treatment.
The white light poured into the grandmother's body, and soon the pale face of the grandmother turned around.
There is only one charging lamp in the temporary residence, and no other sockets. I think the electricity is not enough, so there is no electricity here.
Fu Erdie didn't care either, and turned on the charging lamp for her own use, illuminating the whole tin box very brightly, and then began to unbutton her grandmother's clothes to check her body.
Sang Wenhao left the tin box, put a piece of cloth on the door of the tin box to block his sight, then walked to the balcony with his back to the house, leaving privacy for his mother-in-law and grandson.
The iron box adjusts the temperature, so that the inside of the box car is kept at a suitable temperature of 24 degrees, even if you take off your clothes, you will not feel cold.
Fu Erdie threw away the clothes that grandma had taken off, then took a basin of warm water, and wiped her body while watching her grandmother's condition.
Her spine is a little bit to one side, obviously the bones of the old man can't bear the deformation after working.
Her thighs and arms were a little swollen, and there were many abrasions and injuries on them. Layers and layers of puss and scabs from skin diseases repeatedly formed.
The legs and feet have also been deformed due to long-term standing and walking, and the feet are even more seriously rotten because they cannot be cleaned.
Fu Erdie cried while watching.
Such a clean-loving grandma would never have imagined that one day she would become so embarrassed because she didn't take a bath or clean up.
Injuries on the skin are second, mainly internal diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, blood clots, respiratory tract and lung function are the most important.
The house needs a lot of white light to stabilize these more important underlying diseases first.
Fu Erdie got out of the box car, wandered around the temporary residence, and found a tub filled with water.
Fu Erdie carried the bucket into the box car and let the room heat and sterilize the water. When the water temperature was right, Fu Erdie cleaned the dirt and scabs on the grandmother's skin again and again little by little, and then continued to get infected. The place.
Ten minutes later, my grandmother woke up, looking at the unfamiliar place and the familiar person, her tears burst into tears: "Oh girl...my girl..." (Note)
Fu Erdie hurriedly held her grandmother's hand: "It's me, grandma, don't get excited, I'm treating your illness, come, take a deep breath, and stabilize your emotions."
Fu Erdie can cry, her aunt can cry, and when she is reunited with her parents, her parents can cry, but her grandmother, who has suffered so much for more than 70 years, can't cry!
Whether it is great sadness or great joy, it is very likely that the body of the elderly will be affected.
Although my grandmother is old and sometimes playful like an old child, but more often, especially in major events, she is very sensible.
When Fu Erdie said this, grandma listened right away.
Although she was still crying and holding Fu Erdie's hand very tightly, her heartbeat was not so intense, and her emotions were not so violently ups and downs, but she was slowly relieved through tears.
When Fu Erdie waited for the white light on the wall of the van to light up with a [√], she wiped away her grandmother's tears and said with a smile, "It should be fine now, how are you feeling? Are you still feeling dizzy or dizzy or something? Case?"
Grandma was still lying on the ground watching her granddaughter stabilize her mood, and she didn't dare to say more. At this time, I heard the words and felt it for a while, and suddenly I found that my head was no longer dizzy, and the trachea and stomach and other places that often felt pain did not feel uncomfortable.
She looked at her granddaughter whom she hadn't seen for half a year, and her hoarse voice seemed a little cautious: "Can I speak?"
Fu Erdie smiled and nodded: "It's alright, alright!"
Sang Wenhao stood on the balcony and silently listened to the loud cry that broke out inside.
If it is said that the pain of my parents is the pain of traveling and dying at any time, then the pain of my grandmother is the pain of boiling a frog in warm water.
In the process of driving away from the city center, in order to avoid car accidents and zombies, they turned around for a long time. After leaving the city center, he followed the road signs for a long time, and barely found the right way to Xiangde Village.
After that, for gasoline, they searched the map for a long time to find a gas station in an unorthodox corner. Finally, when the car ran out of gasoline, they came to a gas station on a very remote township road, and then added a gas station to the car. oil.
After briefly restoring communication at the end of June, I made a few phone calls with Fu Erdie and the others, downloaded the map, and continued on their way.
Then he was forced to change lanes due to traffic jams. In the end, he went straight out of the province and made a big circle before returning to Xiangde Village.
Grandma still has lingering fears when she thinks about it now: "If it wasn't for the villagers who came out looking for gasoline and diesel, we would almost never have reached the village."
Fu Erdie clenched her grandmother's hand and listened to what she said bit by bit.
In fact, if there is no concern, no matter which village you go to, you can live temporarily. But if it was agreed to go to Xiangde Village, but in the end it was changed to another village, and then the family could not be notified, it meant that the family might never be able to reunite.
So no matter how difficult it was, my grandmother chose to insist on going to Xiangde Village.
"When the motorcade from the base passes through the county, I don't want to go. After all, it's the same everywhere, and it's almost the same when it arrives at the base. Besides, I'm a lot older, so I just have an extra mouth to eat when I go to the base, which adds to the country. If it's troublesome, it's better not to go." Grandma's concept is very simple, "If you can't grow a few acres of land in the countryside, it's even if you can't grow food. If you eat it this year, you will die next year..."
"Don't talk about dying." Fu Erdie frowned, for a while, the word "death" was more taboo than the old man in front of him.
The grandmother made a few noises, patted Fu Erdie's arm for comfort, and continued: "Anyway, I don't want to cause trouble to the country, so let your aunt and cousin go by themselves if they want to go to the base. You My aunt and cousin couldn't let go of me and took me with them."
Fu Erdie nodded, but couldn't help sighing: "They probably didn't expect the base to be so hard."
The grandmother shook her head when she heard the words: "In the beginning, it wasn't that hard, because there were a lot of healing power users and water power users in the base. Later, there were several zombie sieges, and I didn't know what was going on. The zombies came in and went on a rampage, destroying a batch of food that was supposed to be planted. Especially if a zombie can breathe fire, it will burn a large area, and then we can only continue to eat the moldy grain and wait and see Can you grow new food?"
"But now, it's winter..." Grandma was also worried when she said this.
Fu Erdie didn't have much sense of substitution for this. She handed the mashed potatoes that had been smashed with warm water and seasoning to her grandmother, and then handed over a large pot of water: "You must be hungry, eat first. Finish eating. The bones of the back spine and leg bones should also be almost recovered. Then take a bath in the tub, and then I will pick up my aunt and Cao Yuanbai. "
Fu Erdie was afraid that the people at the base would have too many eyes, so she showed the healing power of the box car while keeping her grandmother a secret.
Grandma nodded quickly, swallowed a large pot of mashed potatoes, and drank a large pot of water, then went to the tub to take a quick bath: "Go pick them up first, so as not to wait. I'll finish washing soon."
Fu Erdie thought the same, got out of the box car and prepared Sang Wenhao to pick up the remaining two.
"Grandma, wait for me for two minutes, I'll be back soon."
Grandma: "I know, go and come back quickly."
At this time in the past, there must be many people under the building where ordinary people lived and started to slowly go upstairs after eating. As a result, this time, because Cao Rui and Cao Yuanbai's mother and son were waiting for their relatives to pick them up, others wanted to follow along to see what happened.
The dining cart has been pushed away after recycling all the food bowls. Downstairs in the dark, there are only dry branches and leaves that I don’t know who brought them. The torches and the mother and son are waiting for someone.
Cao Rui kept her composure, and she didn't know what to say until she saw her niece and didn't understand.
However, Cao Yuanbai was still a seventeen-year-old juvenile. Seeing that the people around him were all working as coolies for the past two months, he thought that he would definitely live with the supernatural beings in the big house in the base in the future. In a regular house, after the mood is relaxed, there is a faint sense of superiority to the colleagues who work together around.
Seeing that her mother didn't know what other people said, Cao Yuanbai couldn't help but said, "It must be the flying ability, or else it will fly away?"
In fact, other people also guessed so, and now seeing Cao Yuanbai saying the same, I think most of it is true.
So when Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao arrived, they saw that Cao Yuanbai ignored the obstruction of the mother next to him, and was bragging about how powerful his cousin's abilities were in what seemed to be speculation.
Fu Erdie's brows could almost pick up a mosquito.
When she entered the city, she was registered with no powers.
"Cao Yuanbai, it's my boyfriend who has the ability, not me." She took Sang Wenhao's hand and dropped it from the air, stopping Cao Yuanbai's nonsense.
Cao Yuanbai was interrupted, turned his head to look at Fu Erdie, gave a short "ah", and scratched his head awkwardly: "Aren't you able to fly? Yes... This big brother can fly? Then what is your ability."
Fu Erdie was expressionless: "I don't have any powers."
Cao Yuanbai opened his mouth, all the voices were blocked, and he said: "Is there no ability, ah, hehe..."
He touched his head, only to feel a little slap in the face.
Fu Erdie didn't bother to care about him, she pulled her aunt and said, "Grandma is all right. I'll take you to where we live at night, and we'll live together."
The aunt nodded again and again, and then gave her son a stern look, indicating that he was not allowed to speak any more.
Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao pulled one each, turned around and were about to leave, and the crowd behind them became commotion.
Someone asked, "Cao Rui, will your three mother-in-law and grandson not come back in the future?"
Before the aunt could answer, Fu Erdie said, "It should be. Thank you for taking care of everyone during this time. It's very late, so let's go back first."
A young male voice shouted: "I'm Cao Yuanbai's brother, I can clean the house, sweep the floor, and do anything, take me with you!"
Seeing these people flying into the sky, except Cao Yuanbai looking back at him, the others didn't think about it. The boy continued to shout, "Cao Yuanbai has promised me just now, sister, brother-in-law, you can take me with you."
Sang Wenhao stopped and looked at Fu Erdie. Fu Erdie's face was heavy, but she still turned around and said, "Sorry, my ability is limited and I can't bring so many people."
After saying that, he and Sang Wenhao left quickly with his aunt and son.
Fu Erdie's face was not good-looking, and Cao Yuanbai was also uneasy.
However, the feeling of flying to the sky is a bit exciting, and I can't care about the anxiety, my heart is full of novelties.
After entering from the balcony, the four of them kept their feet on the ground.
The balcony is connected to the living room, which is a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. On one side of the living room was a tin box that took up almost half the size of the living room, and the other side was empty.
As soon as Cao Rui landed, she asked her mother which room she was in, and she went to take a look.
Cao Yuanbai, on the other hand, walked around the whole room, and was a little bit incredulous: "Does the ability user actually have such a small room?"
Fu Erdie originally wanted to whisper about her boxcar ability while everyone was together and at home, and kept it a secret. But looking at my cousin's virtue, which hasn't changed much from before the end of the world, I don't want to say anything.
"Grandma is taking a bath in that box car." Sang Wenhao explained, "We only have one ability user, so this temporary residence has only one room and one hall. If there are multiple ability users, the room should be larger."
When Cao Xiufen heard the movement outside, she, who had already been cleaned by Fu Erdie, started to get out of the tub, wiped the water on her body and head, and began to change the clothes Fu Erdie had prepared for her.
She had clearly felt that not only was her dizziness gone, but also the problems on her waist and leg bones were much better. Although it has not been completely complete for the time being, the whole person can be said to be completely new from the inside out.
While wearing thermal underwear and sweater, he said, "I'm fine, you wait for me."
When grandma put on one coat after another and walked out, several people outside had already found a bench and sat down, looking at each other silently.
Grandma was about to talk about her granddaughter when she saw it and asked, "What happened?"
Fu Erdie helped her grandmother to sit down at the table: "It's nothing, it's just that Cao Yuanbai made a claim that he wanted to bring some brothers to live with, but I didn't agree."
Grandma immediately said, "What are you doing? There are so many people in such a small house."
Cao Yuanbai was not happy either. After all, he lost face in front of so many people just now, and pouted: "How do I know that my sister has no powers, only my brother-in-law has them, and then the house is so small."
Grandma looked at Fu Erdie and instantly knew that Fu Erdie hadn't told them about it.
Fu Erdie shook her head invisibly at her grandmother, intending not to tell her cousin about her abilities at least in the base, and said, "Auntie, do you have any injuries that need to be checked immediately? If so, I'll go to the base now. The healer of the ability watched."
"Me, me, me!" Cao Yuanbai interrupted without waiting for his mother to speak.
He took off his shoes and raised his stinking feet: "I've had athlete's foot for a long time. Can I find a healer now?"
"Put your feet down." Fu Erdie said blankly, "I have water here, you can pick it up and wash yourself. If there are no other major problems, shut up now."
Cao Yuanbai was a little angry when he saw Fu Erdie, thinking that he was indeed a little complacent, so he sat down obediently again.
Fu Erdie asked her aunt again, and after confirming that she had no major problems, she said that her community now has a "base", and now she is here to pick them up. I heard before that picking up a person required more than 700 catties of food, and asked them if they were clear about the situation.
The aunt was curious about the situation of Fu Erdie's base, but she nodded, and first said the problem of the base in D city: "In the past, if ordinary people quit, they would have to pay resettlement fees for this period of time. However, recently there is a shortage of food, and many internal leaders have hinted that We can go directly if we want, but we cannot take any food and water from the base. But seeing so many disaster victims outside, we dare not go.”
Fu Erdie knew.
This is actually the different strategies given by the base considering the food issue and the needs of different people.
If someone from outside comes to pick up the person, then the outside person needs to pay for their own needs. The base can ask for a full resettlement fee for outsiders to pay.
And if you heard about which base is better, or if you have any relatives or friends in which base and want to defect, then the base is eager for you to leave. The more you go, the better.
However, the latter is limited to ordinary people. If the ability user wants to leave, a large amount of resources must be left, and the base will count them.
In fact, peeling the skin is secondary, and the most important thing is to keep the ability users to ensure that the base can be as powerful as possible.
However, despite this, more and more power users left, thinking that it would be more cost-effective to be outside.
"And I heard that the base and the power user are mainly related to the crystal core trading relationship. The reason why the base has so many crystal cores is that after gathering a lot of zombies, they used larger-scale weapons, and then got a lot of crystal cores. But zombies It is not a regular gathering around the base every ten days and a half, and sometimes there is no zombie tide in a month, so although the base is safe, there are no more crystal cores that can be used for trading."
"If the people in the base take the initiative to attack the zombies and look for the crystal core, the consumption of the weapon will not be recovered, and it is not cost-effective. Therefore, the relationship between the base and the ability user will be a little awkward."
Auntie is not an ability person, but sometimes she listens to people chatting and knows a little about these situations, but the specifics are not clear.
However, even ordinary people know about these situations, which means that the actual situation of the base will be more severe.
This kind of speculation was even more obvious when He Xuan contacted Fu Erdie through the walkie-talkie.
Through the conversation with Xu Qi, He Xuan learned about the demand for large-scale food in City D, and also learned the core contradiction: "The core of the line that belonged to ZF in the past still wants to keep as much as possible at least in the base. At the same time, manpower must be used to build infrastructure, so that steel and cement can be continuously supplied, and then after the zombies in a larger circle are cleaned up, a new circle of walls will be built to establish a greater security. more arable land and feed more people.”
"But cleaning up zombies and finding all kinds of resources requires ability users, and ability users are willing to do more tasks just because the base can give them crystal cores."
"But the safer the perimeter, the fewer zombies can get close, and the less chance you can use hot weapons, so the base's cores are running out now, and they can't be used by anyone. And the base itself doesn't want to waste weapons. ."
"Most of the power users don't care about ordinary people, nor do they care about infrastructure. They think that as long as they rely on the existing circle of city walls, they can gain a foothold in the end times, and the plant-based power users in the existing base can actually allow most power users Eat well, ordinary people just waste food and consume the supplies they brought back from outside."
"Ordinary people feel that they are working very hard for the superpowers, and they often complain sarcastically and secretly. And the superpowers also feel that what ordinary people do is just useless work sent by the group of people in the base, and it has nothing to do with them. One is a waste of food."
"D city base, the contradiction between ordinary people and ability users is already very serious."
After listening to the words from the walkie-talkie, Fu Erdie thought about her situation again.
In fact, it is probably not that the contradictions of the bases in D city are big, but that all the bases that host ordinary people have such contradictions. Over time, the superpowers will either run away to establish a small base by themselves, or take refuge in the bases that do not support ordinary people.
Her community is not enough for the base, but isn't she also unwilling to want ordinary people, or even ordinary ability users?
These mixed thoughts drifted by, and Fu Erdie quickly put it behind her and asked the most concerned question: "Have you received that child?"
