Pure White Core

I opened the unpainted wooden door, and the inside was clean and tidy.

The light from the screened tent windows outside is not bad, and the floor is the same as the living room outside, with wooden boards and four thick carpets spliced ​​together.

When you enter the door, you will see a small solid wooden bed in the upper left corner, covered with a soft and light blue mattress, and small pillows and thin quilts arranged squarely.Next to the bed is an empty small hanger, and in the middle, facing the door and the window is a writing desk and two chairs, with a stack of blank paper and three oil pens on it.

Opposite the small wooden bed are two bookshelves. There are a few old children's books on the lower shelf. The middle and the top are mostly empty, except for a toy train and a fairly clean plush rabbit.

Considering that it's only been a short morning in the real world, it's very hard to arrange it like this.

I just sat on the bed and before I could lie down, there was a piercing gunshot, "Crack! Crack! Crack!..." It was like setting off firecrackers, making people flustered.Probably Huihui started shooting.

"It's really annoying." I covered the quilt and covered my head with the pillow. Although the effect was not great, I was really sleepy, and I fell asleep in a daze with my eyes closed.

When I woke up from sleep, it was almost dark outside. When I went out, I saw a fish tank-like glass lantern on the table in the 'living room'. There were six or seven candles burning quietly inside, and the light was quite bright.

Walking out of the tent, two people could be seen in the dazzling firelight of the furnace, each carrying a large bag to fetch things, throwing them into the flames one by one, just like burning garbage.

The tent next door is very bright, with four or five miner's lamps hanging, Xu Dazhi is not there, the man who tore off an arm from the shadow beast before is eating with a bowl, he is only in his twenties, he looks very meek now, I can't tell It used to be hysterical like that.He didn't notice me, probably because I walked quietly.

I didn't want to scare him, but there was no way I'd come in through the door again.

"Cough!" I said.

"Huh?" He raised his head, and was really startled: "When did you come in?"

"Just now."

"...Oh." He chewed his rice and spoke vaguely, but his mood became obviously depressed.

"Where's the bathroom?" I asked him.

"At the bottom of the slope, there is a big iron cage with lights hanging on it." He said.

I went outside and walked down the slope, and I really saw a big iron cage with two gas lamps hanging on the corners, and the iron cage was surrounded by wooden boards about one meter high.

I squatted in there flustered, this feeling is too unaccustomed, if it is not a waste of time to go back to the real world, I really don't want to solve it here.

I really convinced this group of people, they were afraid of being attacked by wild animals when going to the toilet, so they directly made the toilet into a big iron cage, and even the "floor" of the toilet was a grid made of thick steel bars, which were directly carried in the air and left alone A small pothole.A big hole was dug under the iron cage. This should be the toughest dirt toilet I have ever seen.

It's really considerate, these people even tied a box of toilet paper next to the iron cage, otherwise I might not be able to go back safely today if I am careless.

When I got to the furnace, the man carrying the big package got down from the stone platform again and walked towards the furnace. Throw in.

"Where's Xu Dazhi?" I asked the middle-aged man who was burning things. He had a face with Chinese characters, and stubble was printed in the firelight.

"Old Xu went out to find a generator, and it may take some time before he comes back," he said.

"What are you burning?" I asked him.

The man was probably in his 40s, and he said with a smile: "Old Xu gave me money to set up a department store. Put the items in the furnace to get blueprints, and in the future, they can be made directly in this fire pit." He said. Thinking I didn't know, he explained to me the purpose of the furnace.

The man pointed to the round-faced man who came over with the big bag, and said, "Xiao Zhou's shop is a hardware store. There are a lot of treasures. You can rely on him for all the tools!"

The round-faced man was in his early 30s and had a small belly. He patted the quaint stone walls around the furnace and said, "This is really a pimple. Wang Meijin threw the gold earrings into it this morning. Just use the points to settle the exchange for gold, 300 kg, to be paralyzed, according to the current price of gold, one kg is worth at least [-] million, and the foolish people will use the points to exchange for banknotes in the future!"

I was also surprised. I didn't expect that the price-performance ratio of exchanging gold is two to three hundred times higher than directly exchanging banknotes.Huihui and I will definitely not be able to spend the gold, but they are adults and will definitely find a way.

"It's a pity that Xu Dazhi can't bring back bigger things," said the man surnamed Zhou. "Otherwise, if we bring in a bulldozer, what we can do in one hour will take us a group of people to work hard for two or three days."

"That's right." The man with the square face continued to throw things into the furnace: "But it's already pretty good now. Before winter comes, turn on the electricity and build a well. Everything else can be done slowly."

"By the way, have you seen Huihui?" I asked them, "That little girl."

"It's been a while since I saw you. Go to the tent behind and ask." Both of them said they didn't know.

I went back to the tent with a few tables that were used as a meeting room and lounge, and the man had finished his meal and was gesticulating with a guitar.

"You can play the guitar?"

"Well, I've learned a little bit, and I haven't played it for a long time." He put the guitar back on the table: "It seems that it's useless to burn it in the furnace, so I left it."

I reached out and plucked the strings: "It can be strengthened, don't you try?"

"I'll try it later, but I don't know what I need." He chuckled.

"Have you seen Huihui? I'm looking for her, that little girl."

He probably recalled some unpleasant memories, his expression was very stiff, and he adjusted a little before answering: "She and Mao Xiaoquan and the others went to catch the savages, and Mao Xiaoquan is the female barber with short hair."

"Barber? She can cut hair?" I was curious, wondering if she was good at it, and I wanted to change to a more trendy look.

He moved his mouth to say something, but he held back before answering me: "I don't know." He probably felt that I should ask him the question of the savage.

"Where did they go to catch the savages?" Huihui has shadow beasts and guns, so I don't think I need to worry about her safety.

"There were two savages wandering around at noon. One was shot to death by...Huihui, and the other wanted to run away. Mao Xiaoquan and the others said they wanted to know where the savages lived, and see if they could catch some to help with work."

"...the brain hole is big enough."

"That's right, those savages don't look like humans at all, but beasts," the young man said, "I looked at the corpses closely. Their heads are like jackals, with sharp teeth and long hair on their bodies, but they know how to use stone axes. , very fierce."

"Is it possible to stand like a human and have a big tail?" I asked him.

"Yeah, how do you know?" He's surprised I've seen that thing, I haven't been here as long as he has.

I've seen Xu Dazhi fight with that kind of thing before. In fact, even our current stronghold turned out to be a den of that thing. We killed him and his pets, occupied his lair, and now we have to catch him The same kind came back as coolies.

God knows how dare those three women, two big, one small, dare to chase the ferocious natives in the wilderness. I remember that thing can use something like a crossbow. At that time, a high school student in the team was shot by an arrow and died in the yard.

The three of them didn't come back until midnight. After Xu Dazhi came down from the stone platform, he heard me say that the three of them had gone to catch wild men, so he said 'nonsense' out of anger.It was so late at night, even if I wanted to go out to find them, I didn't know where to go, so I was very panicked.

Xu Dazhi got the generator and diesel, and went to the tent next door to install it with a few people. I didn't want to see it, just sat around doing nothing.

Huihui is too reckless, what if something happens?

My worry was unfounded. In the middle of the night, the sound of them greeting other people came from outside the tent. I greeted them, and saw Xu Dazhi and the others were talking to three women, two big, one small, and three. They were excited to introduce the ones they brought back Trophy: A few short-haired little beasts.

To say beasts is probably not accurate enough, because according to the short-haired woman Mao Xiaoquan, these are the children of wild people, that is, 'little wild people'.

I've seen adult 'savages', their stooped bodies are close to 1.7 meters tall, stronger than Xu Dazhi.These few are much smaller, and the biggest one is only as high as Huihui's neck, with big round eyes, and looks childish, with his arms tied by ropes, he looks fearfully at the people around him who are pointing at him.The five little ones were like babies, they couldn't even stand up, they crawled on the ground with their hands and feet, their little milk teeth were not fully grown, they curled up in the shadow beast's paws and cried like cats.

The adult 'savages' resisted too fiercely and were all killed by Huihui, and the cubs in the house were brought back.

"Why did you bring them back?" Xu Dazhi asked them.

The two grown women did not dare to speak, and remained silent.

"Mao Xiaoquan said that if he is raised in a cage, he will be able to work for us." Huihui is not afraid of Xu Dazhi.

"How long will it take for them to grow up? Can you make them work?" Xu Dazhi asked Huihui.

Huihui frowned silently.

"Hey...you three are the ones to take care of, don't push the trouble on others." Xu Dazhi couldn't say anything more, so he went back and continued to work on the generator.

"Yu Shaorong, do you know how to make a cage? Teach me how to make a cage." Huihui hugged a fluffy little savage cub to show me. The little guy screamed and kicked his legs tenderly. Just a human baby.

"I will, let's do it together." I sighed.

I used the same method as Xu Dazhi's and others made toilet iron cages, crossing steel bars as thick as little fingers and twisting them together with thin wires.Huihui and I are twice as strong as adults, and it is easy to bend thin steel bars with bare hands.The two women originally asked Huihui and me to make a small iron cage of about one cubic meter, but at my insistence, it was made many times larger, with a length and width of more than three meters and a height of two meters. Raise the old high before stopping.

Mao Xiaoquan had long since disappeared, and the other long-haired woman nursed the cubs one by one with a bottle.

"Have you ever thought about what will happen to these things in the cage if we are not in the base?" I asked Huihui.

"There are always people, just ask others to feed us." Huihui said.

"They want to pull and scatter, and you ask others to clean it up for you?" I asked again.

"It's not too busy." Huihui frowned and tightened the wire with her bare hands.

I saw that she didn't realize what she had done at all, and asked her again, what if we all go to the checkpoint?Everyone will not be in the stronghold for many days. At that time, who will feed the little savages in the cage and let them tear and eat each other?

Huihui lowered her head without speaking, turned and ran away.She is mad at me.
