After a while, they finally couldn't hold on and left. But before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering, crashing and clanging.
Tang Wu scolded and jumped his feet angrily: "Damn it! They smashed the glass!"
Several people ran to the window and saw several men holding stones and broken bricks they did not know where they found, and they kept throwing them at the window.
Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Tang Wu and Tang Qi brought crossbows, looked coldly at the men outside the courtyard who were still holding "criminal evidence" in their hands, and shot two arrows, and heard a few tragic sounds from outside. Call. Neither of their arrows hit the vital point. These are ordinary people, unless it is a last resort, they don't seem to cross the moral bottom line, killing the same kind and killing zombies will definitely not feel the same.
The outsiders finally knew how to be afraid when they saw how agile they were. Life is difficult in this world, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicines. If the hands and legs are really crippled and unable to move, then there is really only a dead end. After a while, they slipped away completely, and the outside of the house finally became quiet.
Aunt Chun looked terrified, those women and children were obviously in the same group as this group of men, luckily they didn't open the door before, otherwise, wouldn't it be just ushering wolves into the house
Even so, for lunch this day, Aunt Chun served everyone a meal, but she ignored Tang Chun.
Tang Miao and others couldn't help laughing secretly. Tang Chun was also helpless, shook his head, and went to serve the meal by himself.
At night, everyone did not dare to fall asleep, and three shifts were arranged to be on duty in turn.
On the second day, there was finally a big commotion in the base. The canteen was changed into a free canteen on the upper floor. There were two meals a day, and each person could receive a steamed bun or a bowl of porridge with their ID card for each meal. It's not very hungry at all, but it's better than nothing.
Tang Wu and the others went together to bring back all the steamed buns of the twelve people. Tang Sihuang asked them to inquire by the way and found out that the refugees set fire to the administrative center in the morning and finally forced the upper management out.
Refugees outside the city also began to distribute gruel. However, the total amount is limited. Two meals a day, 30 barrels per meal, can only supply about 100,000 people. But there are at least 200,000 refugees outside the city. This led to fights and looting. Those who received the porridge usually drank it in their stomachs at the beginning, otherwise, they might be snatched away by others. With so many people, it is impossible to cover everything in the base, and there is really no way to manage so many people. Moreover, all the refugees outside the base did not have new ID cards. It was unknown who received the porridge and who did not. We could only limit the distribution of porridge so that no one would get a second bowl after drinking one. If you didn't get this meal, I just hope that you can get it next time if you have some skills. Otherwise, it will only continue to be hungry.
Up to this point, the top management of the base is actually very helpless. It's freezing and snowy, and it's not the season for planting. The grain in the grain depot has not increased at all, but is decreasing day by day. If things go on like this, everyone will starve to death. So they can only stay calm and don't understand, let the survivors figure out a solution first, and show up when the situation is out of control. Of course, the person responsible for the fire prevention was found out and shot. Otherwise, if there is a problem in the future, someone will make trouble in the base, wouldn't it be a mess
Now that there is no way to match the glass, Tang Wu found some thin iron wires to wrap the steel bars of the windows, densely packed like spider webs, and then directly nailed the extra cups to the wall to seal the windows, making the room much warmer. Just wait until the weather warms up before removing the cup.
The heavy snow continued for five days and five nights before it stopped, and the sky cleared up. The sun came out, and people seemed to have found a sense of security, and they came out of the cold house one after another. The sun is like the place of hope. Even when it's still cold, even more so than when it's snowing, they love being outside.
The base called on people to shovel snow in case the snow melts and then freezes, making the road more difficult to walk on. On the day of snow shoveling, those who shovel snow within a day can get four steamed buns and two bowls of porridge. When the snow-loaded vehicles leave the base, someone counts them specially. In less than two days, the places where the snow should be shoveled in the base were cleaned up. There are still many places where there is snow, which does not affect anything, just waiting for it to melt away by itself.
The inside of the base was cleaned up, but the outside of the base was still a vast expanse of whiteness. Even so, there are still many people who go out to look for life. Anyway, now that the snow has stopped, the danger has been reduced a bit.
Although the Fruit Legion has enough supplies, they can't stay at home all the time. Otherwise, people would definitely guess that they still have a lot of supplies, and they might be targeted again as fat sheep.
Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang were lazy at home for a few days, and they didn't do nothing. They helped Aunt Chun make all the cabbage and radish into sour cabbage and sour radish. Winter is still long, so we must prepare well. Because they can't drive a car, Tang Wen, Tang Xin and others will not leave the base too far when they go on missions. They just kill zombies nearby, and if they are lucky, they can catch a few small animals that are not hibernating. On one occasion a litter of wild rabbits was caught, and a survival team once caught a squirrel.
Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang didn't go out again until the snow had almost melted. Today, the materials in the nearby cities have almost been searched; among the crops, the mature crops planted before the zombie crisis have been almost searched, and it is unlikely to find any good things. This time, they plan to go fishing. The few fishing nets that Tang Miao took out before were modified by Tang Chun and made into several large net bags.
There are many ponds in the countryside that are contracted to the villagers to raise fish. Even in the fish ponds that are not contracted, there are still many wild fish. The crowd found a large pond, broke the ice on the water, and scattered a handful of crumbs of steamed buns. The fish immediately swam over impatiently. The ice on the surface of the water was almost two or three centimeters thick. Heiwei and Charles were not afraid of falling. When they saw a fish popping up, they barked with excitement and wanted to stick their heads into the icy water.
Tang Qi and the others were also watching closely, almost drooling.
Tang Xin, Tang Qi, Tang Wu, and Feng Ye each took a net bag and kept fishing. Each bag could catch at least five or six fish, mostly grass carp, crucian carp and carp. Each piece weighed about a catty, smooth and plump, and the few people laughed so hard that their mouths could not be closed for a long time.
Tang Miao originally wanted to go there, but she was afraid that no one standing on the edge of the gap might break the ice, so she had to stand guard by the pond with Tang Sihuang and Tang Wen to prevent zombies from sneaking in.
"Sir, you are so smart. No one in the base seems to have thought of collecting supplies in the water." Tang Qi smiled and poured a bagful of fish into the big bamboo basket that was prepared soon. The big bamboo basket was also found in the villagers' homes.
Tang Wen himself is relatively gentle, even if he is happy, he seldom laughs, and at this moment he can't help smiling, and then said: "The previous crisis broke out too suddenly, everyone just wanted to quickly collect the people in the city. Materials, I’m afraid I’m one step slower than others, and I can’t think of going into the water. But now the materials on the ground are almost collected, and there should be other people who want to come here.”
"Whatever it is, anyway, we must have gained a lot this time." Feng Ye said with a smile.
A group of people changed four ice holes, and they kept picking up three full bamboo baskets, nearly two hundred pieces, when Tang Sihuang stopped them.
"It's almost done, save some for seed."
The more difficult the conditions are, the more we must consider sustainable development. He is a businessman and understands this very well. The earth will continue to function without human beings; but it is difficult for human beings to survive without the earth.
Tang Wen and others understood what Tang Sihuang meant, so they didn't continue. I don't know if other people will come here to catch fish in the future, or even catch all the fish here, but they have done what they should do.
After tying the fish basket to the roof of the car, several people went to the village for another section to catch fish in another pond.
Tang Miao lay by the window watching Tang Chun and the others smash the ice, yawning boredly.
Tang Sihuang didn't hear him speak for a long time, turned to look at him: "Did you sleep well?"
"No. I was thinking, I provided the net bag. Why don't you let me catch fish?" Tang Miao complained.
When Tang Wen and the others heard it below, they all laughed.
"Isn't it cold down there? Young master, we are understanding for you," Tang Wen said.
Tang Miao looked indifferent, and sighed: "Forget it. I was thinking about cooking after I go back today, maybe I can have a whole fish feast or something. Since—"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Qi jumped ashore in a few steps, and graciously stuffed the net bag into his hand.
"Come on, young master, here it is. You try."
Tang Miao got out of the car with a smile.
Tang Wen and the others smiled and shook their heads below.
Because they said they were going to catch fish before going out, Tang Miao and the others were very well prepared and smashed the ice with a sledgehammer. Tang Wu was so powerful that when he hammered down, the ice surface immediately shattered, with clear lines, and when he hit the hammer again, a gap appeared. He hooked the cracked ice layer with the hammer, and quickly opened a huge ice hole.
"Wow—" There was a sound of water, and two fish jumped out of the water and landed on the ice with a "slap". Tang Miao quickly fished it out with a net bag and poured it into the bamboo basket happily.
It was inevitable that the sound of the net bag stirring the water would scare the fish away, so Tang Xin asked Tang Miao to soak the net bag in the water first, and then sprinkle a handful of steamed bread crumbs on the surface of the water.
In a few seconds, a group of fish gathered and happily scrambled for the debris. Holding the bamboo pole with both hands, Tang Miao lifted up the net bag very quickly, and immediately picked up seven or eight of them. When a big fish with strong strength came out of the net bag, it twisted its waist and jumped into the water, and escaped quickly.
Tang Miao held up the net bag and looked at Tang Sihuang proudly. Tang Sihuang smiled back: "I'll order a braised fish first."
"No problem!" Tang Miao smiled, then lowered her head and waited for the next bag.
At this time, there was no loss nearby, and Tang Wen and others were on guard, and he was alone in salvaging. However, there is a bluestone slab beside this pond, which is probably where the village women wash their clothes. The water quality has been seriously damaged by people, so there are not many fish. Tang Miao only caught a total of twenty or so, and they were all less than a catty in size. But this harvest is already considered good.
