Escape From the Library

【Gene Variation-05】

The next step is to travel long distances to F City, and the most urgent task is to store enough food, drinking water and gasoline.

However, all the shops on the street were locked. Yue Xingwen glanced around, but didn't see any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby. He simply turned around and asked, "Professor Tang, do you know where there is a supermarket?"

Professor Tang is a researcher at the Academy of Biological Sciences. He has lived in this city for a while, so he is naturally much more familiar with the surrounding environment than Yue Xingwen.Hearing this, he pointed to the fork in front of him and said, "Turn left ahead and walk one street further. There is a large supermarket next to the shopping plaza."

Yue Xingwen simply called out his names: "Senior Brother Xu, Brother Zhuo Feng, Brother Liu, Sister Man Luo, the four of you stay in the car, and the others follow me!"

Xu Yishen drove the bus around the corner ahead, and he saw a four-storey shopping plaza.

However, the next scene made everyone's eyes widen.

I saw a large number of human corpses on the wide square!

The densely packed human corpses were randomly piled up there like garbage.There were old people, young men and women, and many children with open eyes, their foreheads were full of blood holes from the gunshots.

The corpses were rotting and smelly, and there were many flies around them.

The corpses in the entire square are shocking!

Ke Shaobin was so disgusted that he almost vomited, turned his head hastily, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Qin Miao said with a cold face: "They treat human beings as garbage? After killing them, they don't even bother to dispose of the corpses, so they just throw them around like this?!"

Qin Lu bit her lips tightly: "So many children, it's too, too miserable..."

Jiang Pingce said in a deep voice: "It seems that this city has been bloodbathed by mutated people. Residents were either killed or fled. There are not many living people left."

Yue Xingwen clenched his fists tightly: "This is mutants. They treat human beings as insignificant garbage. They want to completely control the right to speak in the whole world. When encountering disobedient humans, just kill them directly?"

Professor Tang's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "The situation is worse than what the superiors told me."

The rotten vegetable leaves in the vegetable market should also be thrown into the trash can, and the littering of human corpses is not as good as the rotten vegetable leaves.

The cold wind blew by, and the posters pasted on the square fluttered with the wind, making a "squeaky" sound.Next to the square, there was a huge signboard for "Life Supermarket". The signboard was smashed and half hung there, with a lot of glaring blood stains on it.

Xu Yishen slammed on the brakes to stop the bus, and Yue Xingwen got off the bus with his teammates.

There was a strong stench of corpses in the air, almost making people spit out. Everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses, quickly bypassed the pile of corpses in the square, and trotted all the way to the supermarket.

The supermarket was locked from the inside, and Yue Xingwen looked at Zhang Xiaonian: "Xiao Nian, dig."

The junior brother immediately started the excavator to dig out the iron gate, Yue Xingwen took the lead and rushed into the supermarket——

The inside of the supermarket was in a mess. The food, tobacco and alcohol on the shelves had already been looted. The fish and shrimp in the fresh food area fell all over the floor in the chaos, exuding a rotten smell. The whole supermarket seemed to have just suffered a catastrophe!

Yue Xingwen glanced across the supermarket quickly, and said, "It seems that the residents of this city have already robbed the supermarket once, and check to see if there are any left."

Mutants cleaned the city, some humans were killed, and some humans fled in panic. When chaos occurs, it is the instinctive reaction of humans to grab food first.All the shelves in the supermarket hardly have a tidy place. The shelves for milk and mineral water have been swept away, and the snack areas such as biscuits and chocolates are all empty at first glance.

Ke Shaobin said with some disappointment: "All the food has been robbed, there is nothing left..."

Zhang Xiaonian glanced blankly at the shelves of wine, and complained in a low voice: "Even red wine and white wine have been robbed of more than half, do these people still want to grab wine at a critical moment?!"

Yue Xingwen said: "It may be that the supermarket was out of control at that time, and some people were greedy for petty gains, so they took some wine out."

He walked quickly around the empty shelves ahead.There were only a few packs of salty biscuits with the worst taste left in the snack area. With just these things, the 12 of them couldn't get enough for a meal.

The beverage area was also emptied, leaving only two or three bottles of juice lying crookedly on the ground.

The nearby residents have already robbed the supermarket, picking up the leak?How can there be so many leaks for them to pick up? !

Jiang Pingce said, "Look to see if there are any warehouses in the supermarket."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Okay, let's find each other separately and pay attention to safety."

The items on the shelves were robbed, but there must be a warehouse for storing goods in the supermarket. Maybe the residents left the warehouse in the chaos, and they could still find some supplies?

With this little hope in mind, everyone split up and searched around the supermarket.

Soon, Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen found the warehouse in the corner of the supermarket.

But to the disappointment of the two, the residents had already ransacked the warehouse, and the contents of the warehouse were almost emptied, leaving only a few boxes with holes left messily in the corner.

Yue Xingwen went over and lifted the box to look at it, and said helplessly, "The three boxes of milk are all expired." Drinking expired milk would cause diarrhea, so they naturally couldn't take these things to escape.He looked at Jiang Pingce: "Where are you?"

Jiang Pingce said: "These two boxes of mineral water are still within the warranty period, you can drink them."

The two looked at each other, and reluctantly carried two large boxes of mineral water out.

Lan Yarong's voice came from the right: "I found a few schoolbags from the box at the bottom of the shelf."

The two walked a few steps forward, and saw Senior Sister Lan carrying a few cute schoolbags with cartoon Mickey Mouse in them, mainly pink and red.These big boys over 1.8 meters will look very strange with cute children's schoolbags on their backs.

But now is not the time to worry about the style of the schoolbag, as long as it can be used.

Yue Xingwen said: "Take them all away."

At this moment, Ke Shaobin's voice came from the corner in front: "There is a storage room here!"

Yue Xingwen put the mineral water into the shopping cart pushed by Senior Sister Lan, and walked quickly towards the direction of the voice.

Ke Shaobin was standing in the cereals section of the supermarket, next to a small locked door.

The rice, flour, oil, and various beans placed outside have been robbed, and the flour has been spilled all over the floor.Since the door happened to be locked and covered by a curtain, the residents were busy grabbing other things, but they did not forcefully break the door to grab miscellaneous grains.

Jiang Pingce raised his right hand, and a sharp triangular ruler shot out from his palm, cutting off the iron lock in an instant.

Ke Shaobin hurriedly opened the door and found that there were a lot of red beans, mung beans, soybeans, peanuts, red dates... all kinds of grains in the storage room!

Yue Xingwen said helplessly: "These miscellaneous grains are inconvenient to carry, but there is no other food in the supermarket. Why don't you pack some miscellaneous grains in a book first? As long as you can eat them, you will not die of hunger."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses, and frowned in confusion: "But, apart from jujubes and peanuts, which can be eaten directly, the rest can't be eaten raw, right? You can't chew raw beans every day, can you?"

Xin Yan suddenly said, "I can use a decanter to steam these."

Everyone looked back at him suspiciously.

Xin Yan explained: "Don't worry, my decanter is new every time I take it out, and the size can be changed at will. After heating with an alcohol lamp, the inside of the bottle will become a high temperature of 100 degrees, which can be used as a steamer. As long as there is water, these miscellaneous grains can be made into soybean milk, mung bean porridge, red bean porridge, longan eight-treasure porridge..."

Ke Shaobin's eyes lit up: "Great!" He looked at Xin Yan excitedly, and said, "The experimental equipment in your chemistry department can be used as a kitchen utensil?"

Xin Yan said indifferently: "That's why I changed a whole set of distillation equipment."

Yue Xingwen smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Xin Yan, you really have the foresight."

In this way, you don't have to worry about missing food when you take the whole grains on the road.Compared with biscuits, instant noodles and other foods, Xin Yan uses a decanter to make multigrain porridge every day, and can still eat freshly cooked hot porridge, which is so rare!

Everyone excitedly picked up their schoolbags and began to frantically fill them with miscellaneous grains.

Ke Shaobin commanded from the side: "Everyone pack them separately. Put all kinds of miscellaneous grains in a school bag. Don't forget the red dates and longan. Girls will eat red dates and longan better."

Lan Yarong chuckled lightly: "You still understand?"

Ke Shaobin's ears turned red, and he said, "I, I'll pack a bag of rock sugar."

Standing by the side, Zhang Xiaonian stared dumbfounded at how quickly his teammates filled seven schoolbags with miscellaneous grains. Then, Yue Xingwen waved his hand: "Call work!"

Each of them carried a children's schoolbag, pushed two boxes of mineral water in a shopping cart, and hurried back to the bus.

Lin Manluo saw them carrying children's schoolbags neatly from a distance. The scene was a little funny, but she couldn't laugh. After Yue Xingwen got into the car, she immediately asked worriedly: "How is it? Did you find something to eat?"

Zhuo Feng also took a step forward and said, "Two boxes of mineral water? That's right, save some, it's enough for us to drink for a week."

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "So many schoolbags are full? Are there biscuits and chocolates in the supermarket?"

Yue Xingwen walked up to Senior Brother Liu, unzipped one of the schoolbags, pointed to a schoolbag of red beans and said, "All the snacks in the supermarket have been robbed, and we only found some whole grains."

Liu Zhaoqing's smile froze: "This red bean and mung bean, no matter how good their teeth are, they can't be chewed raw, right?"

Lin Manluo was stunned: "Is the schoolbag full of miscellaneous grains?"

Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xin Yan said, he can make porridge for everyone."

Everyone in the car: "..."

The painting style of this escape team has never been normal!Xin Yan, a classmate from the School of Chemistry, has turned into a chef. Will he use a retort to cook porridge for them every day?

Liu Zhaoqing scratched his head and smiled, "It's good to change to a different kind of porridge every day."

Lin Manluo joked: "Are we entering the rhythm of health preservation in advance? Multigrain porridge warms the stomach and is healthier than instant noodles!"

Ke Shaobin whispered, "I've read a lot of doomsday novels. When the protagonists escape, they bring chocolate, biscuits, instant noodles, red beans and mung beans. We are definitely the first batch."

Everyone: "..."

What else can I do?Isn't it late and can't find cookies and chocolates?

Yue Xingwen coughed lightly, and said, "Everyone sit down, hurry up and get on the highway."

Xu Yishen, who was in the driver's seat, turned his head and said, "Professor Tang just drew a road map for us. Two streets ahead, take the Ring Expressway from Jinling Avenue, and there happens to be a gas station there. After getting on the expressway, go straight to City F. Just go in the direction."

Jiang Pingce walked over and asked, "Brother, can you continue to drive? Do you want to change?"

Xu Yishen waved his hand: "No, I'm not tired yet. After dark, I will drive at night. I have more experience in driving at night than you. Sit next to me and learn the bus stalls."

Zhuo Feng said: "Okay, you drive in the first half of the night, and Ping Ce and I will change you in the second half of the night."

Everyone sat down, Xu Yishen drove the bus and walked across two streets, and he saw the gas station.

The gas station was still empty. Xu Yishen, Zhuo Feng, and Jiang Pingce got out of the car, found a few discarded iron barrels, brought them up with a few barrels of gasoline, and sealed the iron barrels.

Yue Xingwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Two boxes of mineral water, seven bags of miscellaneous grains, four barrels of gasoline, these supplies were enough for them to go to F City.

The premise is that all the way is smooth.
