truck storm

The orange-red sun was setting to the west, and the horizon was blackened a little bit.In the twilight, there was a roar from the forgotten highway. The engines of the two trailers roared, rolling over the loess on the ground, and rushed towards the gathering place.

After more than 30 years of development, clean and renewable energy has not completely replaced traditional petroleum. Just like this trailer, although it is powered by solar energy, it has a spare fuel tank.Only those expensive limited-edition sports cars use nuclear energy to completely break away from traditional energy sources.The technology of the whole world made Hua Yang feel fresh, so he directly asked Opu in the sea: "Can energy harvesting be replaced by solar panels or nuclear fuel?"

"Of course not. The engine of the 389 truck only burns bio-energy or non-renewable oil." Aopu said and developed a three-dimensional map in Huayang's brain: "The pith stone in the zombie's head is a type of bio-energy. If you want to The 389's engine uses clean energy please upgrade the truck."

"Can the truck be upgraded?" Hua Yang hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions for the upgrade?"

Aopu swiped out the 1000D map and said to Hua Yang: "Upgrading the truck requires [-] million pith stones and a ton of gold."

Although this condition is a bit far-fetched for Hua Yang, Hua Yang still asks: "Is it okay to use gasoline instead of pith stones when upgrading?"

"This won't work!" Opu shook his head very humanly: "Biological energy is unique and irreplaceable, so it cannot be replaced by other energy sources."

The speed of the trailer gradually slowed down. Hua Yang opened his eyes and saw Huangtupo. He pushed the door open and heard the sound of horns. The bullhorn stopped for half a minute, and then played three long and two short.

Lu Nan shouted loudly: "Pan Shu saw us, grandpa and the others will come down soon and carry the food. We will have a big party tonight." Seeing the excitement of Lu Nan, Hua Yang remembered this half-baby, but he was not too old ten year old child.

Boxes of food were brought down, and bags of rice piled up into mountains. The industrious survivors worked tirelessly under the night, happy as groundhogs, going back and forth again and again, never tired of it.

Lu Heping, who was carrying a machete, tried his best to keep calm, but his twinkling eyes betrayed him. At this moment, his heart was not at peace.He stretched out his hand to Hua Yang and said, "Thank you, thank you!" Apart from this word, I couldn't think of a more suitable word.The food brought back can not only fill the stomach, but also ignite the souls that are about to despair, telling other survivors that as long as they don't give up, they can live.

There was a trace of life floating in the entire fence, and all the food was piled up in the middle of the camp, which looked like a hill from a distance.Cheers erupted from the lifeless camp, and even the old people who were lying on the ground waiting to die staggered to their feet one by one, swallowing their saliva around the food mountain.

Still carrying his machete, Lu Heping walked vigorously, picking things from the garbage dump, and pulled out nine cauldrons in an instant.Lu Zheng helped to set up the cauldron, poured clean water into it and held a few handfuls of rice, piles of firewood were stuffed under the cauldron, and when lit, orange flames burst out, and the whole camp was noisy like a vegetable market.

Bang!choke!Bang!Lu Heping took a gong and knocked it hard three times. The whole gathering place fell silent. Lu Heping stood in front of the food pile and looked at all the survivors and shouted: "Tonight's dinner is porridge, and each person is only allowed to drink two servings." bowl."

As soon as Lu Heping's words fell, there was a commotion below. Long Wangtian pointed to Lu Heping and asked, "Why do you just ask us to drink gruel when you bring so much food?" It began to flush, and thousands of evil thoughts emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Bang!Another sound of gong suppressed the commotion below, and Lu Heping stared at Long Wangtian and cursed: "You damn old bastard, thanks to you still studying medicine, you have been hungry for so long, and I let you eat with your stomach open, it will kill you."

"I am willing!" Long Wangtian was still stubborn, but his expression was not so persistent.

Lu Heping waved the machete in his hand: "Anyone who dares to let go of their stomachs will be starved to death and wasted food. I will disembowel him, then cramp his skin and throw it into the pot." Lu Heping waved his hand: "Tomorrow morning will be rice porridge but with two marinated eggs, and tomorrow noon will have rice and canned beef. The body will grow slowly, and the food will get better and better."

The orange-red bonfire warmed people's hearts, the water in the pot began to gurgle, and the faint fragrance of rice wafted through the camp. Everyone's faces showed intoxication. Even Pan Shu, who was on the height, took two deep breaths and whispered to herself : "Rice porridge is the best food in the world!"

The pot of rice porridge exudes a maddening aroma, the sound of swallowing saliva comes one after another, and the empty stomach and intestines make a burst of humming.After waiting for the rice porridge in the pot to cool down a bit, Lu Heping tapped the pot with a spoon: "It's time to serve."

All the survivors let out a series of cheers, lined up and stared, holding all kinds of utensils that can hold food, kettles, plastic bowls, helmets, leather shoes... There are all kinds of things, but their faces with the same joy.

For the first time, Hua Yang saw anger and longing for tomorrow from the faces of these old people.The god of death carrying a sickle above the camp was diluted by the vigorous vitality, and the night with only rice porridge can also be carnival.

Drinking pure rice porridge, Hua Yang's empty stomach let out a happy cry, a pair of twinkling eyes appeared in front of Hua Yang, and Lu Heping, who was full of joy, sat opposite Hua Yang: "Who are you? Why did you do this? "

Looking at the suspicion in Lu Heping's eyes, Hua Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Is it important who I am? Can it be more important than the rice porridge in this bowl?" Continue to say: "I will stay here for the time being, collect the pithstones of the zombies, you continue to be your leader, whoever of us is busy with the other, and will not interfere with each other."

Seeing Hua Yang who was about to get up, Lu Heping hurriedly said: "Wait!" His eyes looked at Hua Yang's pupils with sincerity: "I am old, and most of the camp is old, weak, sick and disabled. Without you, we Will starve to death in two days, I know you have great power, so please give us a safe place to live."

21 sets of protective clothing and five bows misled Lu Heping, making him think that Hua Yang was a representative of a city that had not fallen. In order to persuade Hua Yang, Lu Heping increased his weight and revealed another secret.

"Don't look at my camp is full of old, weak, sick and disabled. As long as you give yourself time to recover, you can bring you surprises." Lu Heping pointed to an old man who was holding leather boots and drinking rice porridge and said: "He is a soldier in the army. The retired engineer of the factory has hundreds of gun manufacturing plans in his head, as long as he is given a lathe, he can make guns." Pointing his hand to the side: "Long Wangtian, the chief technician of Markor Group, has tens of thousands of guns in his head. Zhang Yan, the world-class bow and arrow shooting champion...!"

The names of people came out of Lu Heping's mouth one by one, from ninth-level fitters to senior hackers, energy experts and even professors of aerodynamics. Only then did Hua Yang realize that the group of half-dead, skinny old people came from all walks of life Dana.But there is also a trace of doubt in my heart: "Didn't you lie to me?"

Lu Heping untied the cloth belt tied around his wrist, and slowly unfolded it in front of Hua Yang. A few large characters were reflected in Hua Yang's pupils, and Hua Yang followed in a low voice: "Sunset Scholars Scientific Research Team on the Roof of the World!" It took more than 30 seconds before saying: "This is a big game!" Looking at Lu Heping, he asked: "What is your identity?"

"Me!" Lu Heping's face flashed a cloud of gloom: "I am a veteran, and I have been in the army when I was not discharged."

Lu Heping looked at Hua Yang and said to Hua Yang, "Now the whole world has collapsed. If you just want to be happy, you can leave tomorrow with food. If you want to achieve something, I advise you to stay." .Although we are all old, our experience is still there." Lu Heping's voice was tinged with charm: "Whether it is wandering here and there to be a knight-errant who has his own ups and downs, or he is in power The founder of order, I think it should be a good choice. The forces behind you need us, and we also need the forces behind you."

Hua Yang said weakly in his heart: "I want to go home!" But Aopu kept shouting in Hua Yang's ear: "Hurry up and agree! These are all national treasure-level talents. With them Only with the help of you can you kill more zombies, collect more pithstones, upgrade your truck to a higher level, and be the only one in the world.”

Hua Yang nodded slowly: "We can't return to the city in the short term. If you agree, we can build a residence in the wasteland first. We will return to the city when the time is right."

"Should be! Should be!" Lu Heping nodded again and again. He said so much with all his effort, just wanting to keep Hua Yang. Now that Hua Yang is willing to stay, the rest can be done slowly.

Lu Heping threw a small burden to Hua Yang: "We originally had 130 marrow stones, but Lu Nan gave me 63 just now, and the total is 190, you should put them away first."

Hua Yang took the cloth bag and got into the tent, put his hand into the cloth bag, and felt the heat in his palm, the marrow stone disappeared without a trace, and a dark green writing appeared in his mind, marrow stone collection 71050000.

Hua Yang put his hands behind his head, looked at the unreachable 50000, and asked Opu in a low voice: "Are you right when I promised them?"

"The reason why human beings can become the spirit of all things is because human beings know how to use tools to pass on civilization from generation to generation. In the collapsed world of 2050, if you don't protect this civilization and shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the fire of civilization, with Humans are dying gradually, there is a gap in inheritance, and eventually human beings will degenerate to the age of slash-and-burn farming, is all this what you want?"

Aopu's voice was full of temptation: "Helping them is also helping yourself, relying only on cold weapons such as bows and crossbows, how long will it take to shoot one arrow to get enough 50000 pith stones, in case you encounter type II or even III Mutant beasts, zombies, how much do you think you have to win?"

Hua Yang nodded and felt that what Opal said made sense, and suddenly thought of another question: "Without lathe tools, he can't make guns, so it's still the same as not having one."

Aopu said coldly and firmly: "At least I have some hope!";
