Chapter 103
Although the source was found, the citizens of Cherry City did not feel relieved, but fell into deeper despair.
Seventy to eighty percent of the citizens of Gein Cherry City have used this potion. Even if they can't afford it or think it is unnecessary to buy it because of their good health, the risk is not ruled out-because the use of the potion cannot be completely used, it must be There will be some residues, and some will enter the sewage treatment and other places with the excretion of the human body.
However, with the burning of coal mines below, the melting of pipes at high temperatures, and the "strike" of sewage and waste water treatment centers, these water sources polluted by chemicals are flowing around and brought to various places in Cherry City by rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc. The citizens may be unaware The land has been infected...
Not to mention the citizens of Cherry City, even the medical team who were originally stranded here were not allowed to leave.
Perhaps at that time, the time when the miners went crazy had begun to be seen. It was a warning from God to everyone. Unfortunately, no one thought that what happened in the movie would actually appear around them.
By now, it's too late.
Up to now, Cherry City is almost in ruins as far as the eye can see, without any vitality, only soot and mist rolling in the gray sky.

"I used to be a landlord, that is, a charter wife. Xiaolin was a foreigner. He rented my house half a year ago. The third sibling of Xiaoshui and their parents were also my tenants, but their parents were also the first batch of changers. Zombies, I saved them from their zombie parents."
"Nowadays, a group of us just live like this day by day."
Zhou Yang noticed that when Aunt Lan talked about the parents of Xiaoshui's three siblings, she lowered her originally rough voice very low, probably because she was worried about the three children present.
Thinking about it, she is still working hard to raise three children when she can't even eat her own stomach. She is actually a gentle woman.
"Ham, what kindness is not kind, I have lived most of my life, and I don't have any sons, daughters, or wives to worry about. Anyway, I still have a little spare energy, and helping others is easy."
Zhou Yang: "Not everyone will do it if they think it's their own effort."
Aunt Lan couldn't help laughing, "You're a young man, you speak nicely."
Zhou Yang smiled: "Because this is the truth."
"Okay, there's no time for small talk," Aunt Lan put on the dirty headgear again, "Zombies seldom come out to move around during the day, so I'm going to look for food quickly."
Zhou Yang: "Looking for food?"
Aunt Lan's voice was muffled through the hood, but Zhou Yang could hear clearly: "Because of the coal burning underground, the temperature in Cherry City is extremely high now, the land is parched, and many animals and plants have died on a large scale. Now Cherry City has been without water and electricity for three months, so I can only go to other people’s houses or shopping malls to see if there are other food stocks. It’s very dangerous to try your luck.”
Zhou Yang was silent.
Although Aunt Lan didn't say it clearly, Zhou Yang already understood that the so-called "look" is to take advantage of it.
Of course, in this zombie-infested environment, the morality of human society in the past does not apply, so the luck and danger that Aunt Lan refers to refers to the possibility of encountering zombies.
Aunt Lan didn't plan to say more, she still had the strength to grope outside, so she turned around and planned to leave after saying this, but she didn't want to hear the young man she had just rescued say: "Then I'll go."
Aunt Lan could not help but stop.
Among the three little ones "lying dead" on the ground to preserve their strength, the little one who had said two words to Zhou Yang before also secretly opened his eyes.
Zhou Yang said: "I'm a man with arms and legs, so there's no reason to wait for others to raise me. Besides, I should have better physical strength than you, and I should be able to go farther."
Zhou Yang's words kept Aunt Lan silent for a while, and finally said bluntly: "Actually, I didn't intend to find food for you, I only planned to find food for me, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Shui..."
Zhou Yang: "..." Oh, it's embarrassing to step on a horse┓( ̄□ ̄||)┏.
Aunt Lan probably realized that this was very heartbreaking, and the outspoken Aunt Lan quickly added: "But since you are willing to help out, if I have more food when I come back, I can share some with you."
Seeing that Zhou Yang still insisted, Aunt Lan just interrupted before he opened his mouth: "Although I don't know how you came to Cherry City, but your small body is probably not enough for a zombie's claws. If you live well, you can live longer All good."
Zhou Yang had a gloomy expression on his face, he never thought that one day he would be so clearly disliked.
Hey, back then he was considered an all-powerful figure in the village and in the hospital, but who knew that after he came to the new world, he became a good-for-nothing in the eyes of others.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but said: "Aunt Lan, you must have misunderstood me, maybe I don't look very burly, but in fact I look thin and fleshy when I take off my clothes, and I have abdominal muscles. Kungfu and strength are not small."
He and Aunt Lan had just met by chance, and it was enough for him to save his life.
And Aunt Lan also said just now that the predicament in Cherry City has been present for three months, and it is estimated that food is not easy to find—otherwise, the third Xiaoshui siblings would not be so hungry that they could only lie down to save energy.
So even if Aunt Lan ventured out to find food, it wouldn't be enough.
Zhou Yang was too embarrassed to compete with the aunt and the children for food.
So, you still have to rely on yourself.
※※※
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, his eyes fell on a discarded piece of wood not far away that was as thick as a calf. He picked it up under the eyes of Aunt Lan and the others, and then smashed it with one fist!
There was only a "click", and the piece of wood with the thickness of the calf broke!
The tall, thin young man hiding in the depths of the warehouse and peeping saw this scene, his pupils trembled.
He subconsciously held his breath, then slowly, slowly drew his head back.
Others didn't notice this episode, so Zhou Yang moved his knuckles and smiled proudly: "How about it, Aunt Lan, I..."
"My weapon ah ah ah!"
Before Zhou Yang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Lan's wail.
After he heard clearly what Aunt Lan was shouting, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
His eyes slowly and slowly fell on the discarded wood that had been broken in two - what, how fat?Isn't that the discarded wood?
"Of course not! This is the weapon I use to fight zombies!" Aunt Lan's gruff voice was full of distress.
Zhou Yang's Adam's apple rolled up and down—oh, it seems to be messed up?
Fortunately, Aunt Ma Ma Lan adjusted herself: "Forget it, if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come in." She sighed deeply, as if she wanted to let out all the depression in her body, and then she turned around. Turning his head, he looked up and down Zhou Yang with burning eyes, "Young man, you can't see it, you're hiding it! No wonder you're walking outside alone."
Zhou Yang wanted to say that he didn't hang out alone because of his high skills and courage, but after thinking about it, he couldn't explain more, so he simply acquiesced: "In this world, there must always be a little Survival skills."
Aunt Lan nodded in agreement: "You are right. If this is the case, then you should act together with me. We might be able to find more food this time together."
Xiaoshui's third sibling also couldn't help opening their eyes because of Aunt Lan's words, and looked at Aunt Lan and Zhou Yang eagerly with big eyes on their skinny faces.
Zhou Yang pursed his lips: "It will definitely."
※※※
Although the three children lying on the ground to conserve energy had their eyes closed, they couldn't fall asleep because of their hungry stomachs, so their ears were actually listening to Zhou Yang's movement all the time.
They are still young, and the eldest sister is only eight years old this year. Although the grief of losing their parents is unforgettable to their hearts, children's attention is also easily diverted by novel things outside—for them, clean and beautiful Zhou Yang is a novel "thing", and it is also the only bright color that appeared during the three months of fear.
A good-looking face always makes people feel happy, not to mention that they feel relaxed and happy when they are close to Zhou Yang, but they also know that they are not pleasing to be thin and dirty now, so they dare not join him. go forward.
Hearing the sound of Zhou Yang and Aunt Lan leaving at this time, the youngest of the three Xiaoshui siblings couldn't help but follow Zhou Yang's back until he and Aunt Lan disappeared behind the door.
At this time, the tall and thin Xiao Lin came out from the depths of the warehouse, locked the door of the warehouse, touched the sweat on his head before turning his head and lying down on the ground: "This world is so unfair, you are so handsome. Not to mention, the strength is still so great, why should he take advantage of it?"
"These days, little brats also look at their faces! We've known each other for a few months, and we haven't heard a few words from you. That guy got close when he came?"
None of the three children spoke.
Xiao Lin curled his lips and rolled his eyes: "Three little dumbs, they can't do anything, they're just dragging their feet."
Having said that, he wouldn't do anything to Xiaoshui's siblings other than mumbling and cursing, after all, he was still living with Aunt Lan, and Aunt Lan valued these three little gourds very much.
※※※
Zhou Yang, who didn't know that he had aroused the envy and jealousy of others, was almost forced back by the heat wave as soon as he stepped out of the warehouse gate—his attention was all on the pungent smell of rotten eggs before. Coupled with being dragged to run by Aunt Lan, the sensitivity to high temperature has dropped.
He subconsciously wanted to wipe off his sweat, but when he touched his forehead, it was hot and there was no sweat at all.
This is not to say that he didn't sweat, but that the temperature was too high, and the sweat was evaporated by the ubiquitous turbulent heat waves as soon as it came out.
When it comes to summer, people instinctively want to wear as little clothes as possible. The more parts that are exposed to the air through the skin, the more sweat will take away the heat, and the cooler it will be.
However, this principle does not apply to places that are too hot, especially those that are hot and dry.
Like the desert.
People in the desert wear long-sleeved trousers.
Not because they are not afraid of heat, but because they want to maintain water in the body.
70.00% of the human body is water. The air in the desert is dry, and people's sweat is volatile. Therefore, to maintain the moisture in the body, you must wear long-sleeved trousers to prevent excessive sweating and dehydration.And wearing long-sleeved trousers can also protect people's skin from being sunburned.
It is exactly the same as the current situation in Cherry City.
Although Cherry City wasn't built in the desert, and the sun wasn't too hot at this time of year, the burning coal underneath had already raised the temperature of this place to a level that exceeded the normal life and survival of the human body.
Aunt Lan's attire wrapped like rice dumplings, in addition to preventing zombies from biting and scratching, also has an important function of preventing the moisture in the body from turning into sweat and evaporating too much.
It's just that the high temperature is not brought by the dim sun above, but from underground.
Only now did Zhou Yang remember what Aunt Lan said about Cherry City being like a purgatory right now.
In addition to the wandering zombies, there is also a large amount of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide released when the underground coal is burned.
This is also one of the important reasons why ordinary people cannot stay outside for too long.
It is said that the coal that can burn for more than 200 years is burning underground, causing the continuous high temperature in Cherry City. The temperature in the daytime can even reach more than 50 degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature can even reach [-] to [-] degrees Celsius. A harsh environment where eggs can be cooked.
The temperature is too high, let alone walking for a long time, even if you stand outside for a few seconds, you feel like you are in a steamer. No, it is not a steamer, but an oven without water.
But he had already come out, and it was impossible for him to turn around and go back.
Zhou Yang adjusted his breathing, glanced around, and decided to walk close to the wall.
Anyway, there is still a little shade to bring a little shade.
Neither Zhou Yang nor Aunt Lan seemed to have much reaction to the ubiquitous poisonous gas in the air.
Zhou Yang is naturally because he seems to be born with a certain immunity to poisonous, devilish, and evil spirits, not to mention that after he was with Wei Ge, he was still blessed by Wei Ge's devilish energy—even if Now he doesn't know where Wei Ge is, but the devil energy in his body is also protecting him conscientiously.
As for Aunt Lan...
Zhou Yang intuited that Aunt Lan still had something she didn't tell him.
But he didn't plan to break the casserole for the time being, after all, they had only known each other for an hour, so it was really natural to have some reservations.
