Late at night.
Chu Guang slept restlessly. He woke up several times and felt the gun hidden in his sleeping bag before falling asleep again intermittently.
The shelter was so comfortable that he didn't have to worry about any danger at all, so he suddenly returned to this unstable environment and was unable to adapt.
"I'm slack."
Chu Guang sighed, and unconsciously touched the gun in the quilt. The thick and long barrel was full of security.
I don't know what happened to the players.
Although I explained to Xiao Qi what I should do when I was away, I still couldn't put my heart down when I was away.
When he woke up at five in the morning, Chu Guang couldn't sleep any more, so he kept his eyes open and waited quietly.
He didn't get out of his sleeping bag until it was dark outside the window, put on his clothes, and carried the steel pipe and the gun he had just bought.
This time, I guess I have to come back after a long time.
The mayor's collection forced him to move ahead of schedule, and all preparations had to be completed before the end of the month.
If we cannot reserve enough materials for 100 people, we will have to wait until February or March next year for the next round of testing.
The whole winter must be deserted.
Push the door open.
Chu Guang, who has arranged his equipment, is ready to start. He happens to meet the men of the Wang family.
Wang Defu, who was doing something at his door yesterday, looked at him without saying a word, but his eyes were provocative.
Maybe it's because his father and his elder brother are nearby. In addition, the guy who is hunting on his back has much more courage than yesterday. It seems that he is a bit arrogant.
Chu Guang certainly won't have the same opinion with the little fart boy.
Sixteen year old boy has been regarded as a man with one side in Bate Street, but in his eyes, he is just a child who has not grown all his hair.
"Hey, don't die."
Chu Guang ignored him and didn't even look at him.
The children of the Wang family were angry, biting their teeth and blushing. The stranger's disregard made him feel humiliated.
However, just as he was about to make an irrational provocation, the elder brother beside him suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.
Although still a little angry, Wang Defu soon became honest.
I can see that the boy listens to his brother very much.
Chu Guang glanced at the eldest son of the Wang family, and the powerful man was also looking at him.
Chu Guang sensed a slight danger from the man, but it was not obvious.
Interestingly, when observing him, the man's face also showed a trace of surprise, although he hid it carefully.
Hunter's intuition——
This guy is hard to deal with!
After a brief eye contact, the two sides quickly moved away from each other.
There is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
The Wangs are far away.
Chu Guang is also ready to start.
At this time, a crisp voice came from behind.
"Be careful on the road."
Chu Guang stopped and looked back. He saw the little fish hiding behind the door and peeping at himself.
Chuguang said with a smile.
"Well, thank you."
"No."
In a blink of an eye, the girl slipped back into the room and disappeared.
……
At six o'clock in the morning, it was almost light.
The gate of Beite Street slowly opened. Survivors carrying baskets, bows and arrows, knives, crossbows and other equipment walked on the cracked concrete pavement and the weeds drilled from the cracks, marching in groups towards the ruins.
Only two hundred years later, it is not so easy to find good things on the waste soil. Occasionally, the shells dropped by mercenaries or looters can be used as treasure.
Chu Guang didn't leave the settlement immediately, but spent some time at the door. When everyone was far away, he went to Old Charlie's recycling bin.
"I need 7 kilograms of green wheat, which is the chip of 21 o'clock. And the tobacco leaf for pickled meat... How much can I get for the chip of 4 o'clock?" Chu Guang asked before buying it.
"One to two."
"Then four liang!"
Food is the key to development.
Only by preparing more food can more players be recruited to work for themselves.
The survivors can't drink green wheat and boil porridge every day. Even if they can carry it, they can't carry it themselves.
Now with guns, hunting will be much easier than before.
Chu Guang plans to buy some tobacco leaves to go back and use the meat he can't eat to make pickles for winter storage.
Old Charlie raised his eyelids.
"I remember you bought five kilograms of green wheat just a few days ago."
"Do you have any questions?" Chu Guang answered casually.
Old Charlie grinned.
"Nothing. It's good to save more money."
Chu Guang was planning for the future, and he was suddenly alert.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
He suddenly realized a problem.
I haven't brought back any useful garbage or other harvest for some time, but I have bought a lot of materials twice in a row.
The mayor may not be able to notice himself as a nobody, but others will inevitably have doubts about where he came from with so much money.
But old Charlie didn't say anything, maybe he didn't care at all. He weighed the food for him and sent him out with a smile.
"I'm careless..."
After getting out of the gate of Beite Street and turning a corner, Chu Guang was relieved and stopped to watch for a while before moving on.
More than 10 chips are a huge sum of money for scavengers, because they usually can't save money.
However, I have spent more than 20 chips twice in a row to buy materials that I can't use up in a short time.
Old Charlie was kind to himself. After all, he came out of the shelter, but after all, he was the servant of the mayor.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang could not help frowning.
It's a pity that the merchant named Liszt only collects grain and sells the industrial products of Stonehenge.
Maybe I should try my luck at Brown Farm.
……
Seven kilograms of green wheat and ten liters of drinking water, plus bullets and equipment, weigh more than twenty kilograms, weighing heavily on the shoulders.
In addition to moving things, Chu Guang also had to be careful to preserve his physical strength and guard against the danger hidden in the shadow.
Even if there is an unusual strength hidden in the muscles, he can only walk for a while, stop for a while, observe the road conditions and continue to move forward.
The roads outside the settlements are not easy to walk, and sometimes we have to bypass the collapsed roads and pass through the collapsed high-rise buildings.
Chu Guang suddenly envied those protagonists in "The End of Beauty" and "The Fading Light", who could carry a lot of things to run cool in the ruins, but could only walk step by step.
Maybe
Should I buy a cow next time?
I just don't know if Liszt can sell.
Fortunately, he was not found by any other species on the way.
Through the ruins.
After walking along the road for a while, Chu Guang finally arrived at the sanatorium in the Wetland Park before 8:30 a.m.
However, to Chu Guang's surprise, when he arrived, he found that all four beta players had already been online.
More than that.
Just outside the wall of the sanatorium, there are four half person high earthen stoves and a hemispherical earthen kiln about one person high.
Um
What is it?
He doesn't remember that he assigned the task of building a furnace.
"Manager! You are back at last." Looking at the surprised manager, Fang Chang came up and said with a smile.
"I stayed outside all night," he said, staring at the furnaces. Chu Guang even forgot to put the things he was carrying on his back. "... What's your situation? Have you met any aliens or other survivors?"
"Everything is OK! Nothing unexpected!"
Chief Fang blushed and reported their work to Chu Guang.
The four half man high furnaces are used for burning carbon, and the furnace with air blast beside is used for calcining coarse cement at high temperature.
"We burn the bark into plant ash, then add water to mix, filter out the upper layer of potassium alkali water, and squeeze the remaining mud to dry the water to obtain calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate for making cement."
"Then, we add these raw materials into the blast furnace and burn them into orange red, then mix them with the sand picked up by the river, add water and mix them well to get the grass and wood ash cement!"
what the fuck?
To be honest, Chu Guang was surprised by the practical ability of these players.
He had not tried to use plant ash mixed with mud to make cement before, but he still used the method that was forced to teach, but the things he made were crushed when he squeezed them, which was useless.
Now, it turns out that my method is wrong.
Is the key to blast furnace and secondary calcination?
And the purity of plant ash
The square long mouth did not stop, and continued to say.
"... We plan to use cement to repair the wall of the sanatorium! By the way, we have also collected the filtered potassium and alkaline water with containers. This stuff can be used to tanning leather, and it is very useful!"
"You... did a good job."
After thinking for a long time, Chu Guang didn't think of what to reward these players. He just thought of such a praise.
But when Fang Chang heard this sentence, he was excited.
Up!
Good impression!
It must have gone up!
Not missing this opportunity, Fang Chang read out his lines that he had been thinking about all night with a serious face.
"For the continuation of civilization!"
"It's my honor to share your worries!"
“……”
Chuguang suddenly didn't know how to face him.
Compared with themselves, these players are too noble.
"Well said... for the continuation of civilization and for the future of all of us."
Cough, Chuguang maintained his dignified expression, looked at the excited player and continued to say, "I'm going to put the supplies down, your plan is very good... Don't worry and do it boldly!"
Fangchang's waist was straight and energetic.
"Yes, sir!"
"You should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Don't be too tired." Chu Guang ordered.
Not because conscience found something, but because they were worried that these players were overexerted and overdrawn their enthusiasm too early.
However, the player did not seem to realize his good intentions and showed his loyalty with his head held high.
"Serving you is our mission, and this is also my declaration under the banner of the People's Federation!"
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang almost didn't hold back.
The declaration is OK
Have you ever seen the leader of Renlian?
"... OK, very energetic. Go ahead."
Seeing the player trot away, Chu Guang sighed silently in his heart.
In the end, my worries are unnecessary.
