It didn't take long for Chen Xu to choose a restaurant at the intersection. It was located on the first floor. There was no need to climb stairs, and the freezer was big enough. Best of all, there was a diesel generator inside.
He is no stranger to diesel generators. Before going to university, his parents opened a supermarket in the county. For a period of time, the county changed lines and often had power outages. The supermarket used diesel generators to generate electricity.
After turning on the electricity, he swept through more than a dozen nearby restaurants and shipped all the meat back until the freezer couldn't hold it.
Although the two of them would definitely not be able to finish eating so much meat in half a year, they should be prepared.
"By the way, I don't know what happened to Luo Xiyun."
He was frying a piece of steak, and when he was counting the amount of food, he thought of Luo Xiyun who should have appeared long ago.
According to the urine nature of this dream, this virtual Luo Xiyun probably woke up at home just like in reality. It hasn't appeared until now, and I don't know where it went.
He didn't know where her home was at all. The city was so big, it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack if he wanted to find someone.
"The best way is to make some noise to lure her over."
He smelled the aroma of the steak frying, and couldn't help swallowing. After a busy morning, he was already starving.
The first day was spent moving supplies.
At night, Chen Xu, who just took a shower, was sitting in the only office in the restaurant, feeling a little guilty in his heart. It was such a waste to use bottled mineral water to take a bath.
"No way, the tap water has stopped."
He couldn't help sighing, when there was only one person left in this world, it was much more difficult than he imagined to survive.
No takeaway, no running water, everything has to be done by yourself.
Forget about these, the most unbearable thing is that there is no Internet!
Can't access the Internet, can't log in to forums, can't watch videos, can't scan Douyin, can't catch up... This is very terrible. He doesn't usually play games, and he doesn't even watch them on his phone, so he can only hold his phone in a daze.
There is a computer in the office, but a password is set.
"I have to go to the company tomorrow and bring the computer back." Thinking this way, he yawned and gradually fell asleep amidst the sound of the diesel engine running.
The next morning, when Chen Xu woke up, he felt sore all over his body, very uncomfortable.
"I go."
He took a breath and sat up, the muscles all over his body were sore and numb, that kind of sourness, "It's really terrible."
He hasn't done physical work for a long time, and he doesn't exercise much. He moved so many things yesterday, and he was overworked, and the sequelae came.
"Is this really a dream?" He didn't know how many times he doubted the authenticity of this matter.
It's hard to imagine that everything in this world, as well as the real numbness and pain in the body, are simulated in the dream.
He took a deep breath and got up from the bed.
"Anyway, let's collect some more supplies."
This suspicion gave him a deep sense of crisis. In case, all this is not a dream, but a reality, he is the only one left in the world. In order to survive better, he must prepare in advance.
He endured the soreness in his muscles, and after eating something, he took his tools and went out.
In addition to food, there is another very important thing, and that is medicine, which can save lives. Other supplies can be put away later, and a batch of medicine must be collected first.
From this moment on, he felt that he couldn't completely treat all of this as a game. Instead, seriously consider how to survive in such an apocalypse.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen.
Chen Xu woke up and looked at the poster of the female star whose name he couldn't remember. Two seconds later, he woke up, sat up, picked up a pen, and wrote the number "31" on the wall.
The entire wall is filled with numbers, from 1 to 30. It means that he has been here for a full month.
He put down the pen, walked to the mirror, picked up the razor, and carefully shaved off the stubble that came out.
Then I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and washed my face.
After washing up, he left the office.
There is a table next to the corridor. On the table is an electric rice cooker. When the cover is lifted, there is steaming porridge inside.
This is the rice that was put in last night. After setting the time, it will be cooked automatically, and you can eat it when you wake up, which is very trouble-free.
He finished half the pot of porridge with the salty and crispy fried peanuts, feeling his stomach warm and comfortable.
After breakfast, he washed the pots and dishes and put things away. He took out the small book that he carried with him, opened it and looked at it, and there were some things to do on it.
He took a quick look, picked up his pen, and drew a circle on two of them.
Diesel stocks are tight.
Look for vegetable seeds.
Then, he closed the book, put it back in his pocket, took his things, and went out.
Before heading out, he switched the power source to a battery pack and switched off the diesel generator.
To prolong the life of this diesel generator, he assembled a battery pack as a backup power source, and when he was away, he used the battery pack to power it.
"nice weather."
He walked out of the restaurant, looked at the clear sky, and his mood seemed to become clearer.
There are two rows of cars parked on the road outside the door, including luxury sports cars like Ferrari and Porsche, vans like Wuling, and medium-sized trucks like Isuzu.
He went into a nearby store and came out pushing a trailer full of oil drums. All the shops facing the street on this road were converted into warehouses by him to store various supplies.
Chen Xu pushed the trailer, walked to a blue Isuzu truck, and loaded the oil barrels onto the truck. After moving back and forth a few times, after loading more than half of the car, we set off.
He started the car and drove to the right road.
In the past month, he has cleaned up the surrounding roads. This is not a small project. There are too many cars in this city. Some of the relatively congested roads are completely blocked by cars. It took him a lot of work to clear a road that could accommodate one car.
"There are gas stations everywhere, so don't worry about this one. It's just that vegetable seeds are not easy to find. Let's go to the vegetable market first." He was thinking while driving.
Modern urbanites cannot do without vegetables almost every day, but I am afraid that few have grown vegetables by themselves. When he was in elementary school, he also helped his grandfather who lived in the countryside to harvest rice. What does the vegetable seed look like, but I have never seen it.
I can't stand eating meat without vegetables every day.
This month, he can still eat what can be regarded as food, just potatoes, tomatoes and bean sprouts, and he is about to throw up.
He never thought that one day, he would have such a desire for green leafy vegetables.
...
Half an hour later, Chen Xu stopped the car a few hundred meters away from the vegetable market. This side has not been cleaned up yet, and the road is full of cars, making it impossible to get through.
He picked up his tool bag, got out of the car and walked over.
In the distance, there was a rotten smell coming from the market. He took out a gas mask and put it on before he dared to go in.
Ten minutes later, he ran out of it as if escaping. The smell inside is terrible, even wearing a gas mask is a bit unbearable, and there are traces of rotting vegetables and meat everywhere.
He returned to the car, a little depressed, "Do you really want to go to the suburbs to find it?"
In modern big cities, there is not much to grow vegetables. They were all brought from the outskirts. He also found several vegetable bases in the suburbs from the map.
However, the nearest vegetable base is more than 30 kilometers away from here. To clear a road, the amount of work makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.
In the end, he took out his notebook and wrote down on it that he went to the vegetable base to find seeds. Save that for later.
Next, he goes to the nearest gas station and fills up all the drums.
This iron oil drum has a capacity of about thirty liters. When fully loaded, it weighs nearly fifty catties. He brought a total of fifty empty barrels, filled them all and moved them to the car. It took him more than two hours, and he was exhausted.
A month ago, he would never have been able to do such a job, and his waist would be broken after moving a few barrels. This is all done through a lot of physical work every day for a month.
After finishing his work, he removed an armchair and a folding table from the car, found a shaded place to sit down, took out a tablet computer from his backpack, and placed it on the table with a holder On, then, open a movie.
He leaned back on the chair, unscrewed the thermos, and watched a movie leisurely while drinking tea.
After hard physical labor, he will reward himself in this way.
Leisurely time always flies by very fast, and a movie is finished in no time.
Chen Xu checked the time. It was eleven forty, and it was lunch time soon.
He dragged out the gas bottle, gas stove, pots and pans and other tools from the carriage, and started cooking on the side of the road. Every time he went out to work, he would bring all these things with him, and cook outside at noon, so as not to run around and waste time.
Washing rice, cooking rice, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, cooking...
After a while, the food will be ready, two dishes, one stir-fried beef with potato slices, and one stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts.
He sat in the middle of the road and finished his lunch.
After resting for half an hour, he dragged a folding bed out of the car, placed it in a cool place, put on headphones, listened to soothing pure music, put on an eye mask, and took a nap.
... ... ...
Chen Xu woke up naturally after falling asleep. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock. He stretched comfortably.
Since he went to work, he rarely has such a leisurely time. In order to make money, his whole body seems to be wound up, even if it is a weekend, it is just a breather, and there is no way to really relax.
He packed up his things, moved them back to the car, turned on the car, and set off again.
All the way to the river, he parked the car, walked to the river with a few fishing rods, found a suitable place, loaded the baits, and threw them into the water one by one.
Then, he fixed the five fishing rods at a distance. I moved a stool and sat next to it, watching the fish float floating on the river, and waited quietly.
