Chapter 2 Living (In the Middle)

In an abandoned courtyard, a semi-collapsed side room,

Zhou Huaian listened to the clamors and shouts from afar, and couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and fear. Fortunately, he escaped and stayed away from that area in time; otherwise, the subsequent search and investigation would be difficult to escape.

Although I was still a little confused about the miserable experiences of the armed men who attacked him, it was obviously a dangerous thing to continue to stay there; whether it was torn apart the unknown power of the half-street or the companions of the unknown armed men, it would not have any good results for me.

Despite this, Zhou Huaian still understood that he was still unable to escape from danger; because as long as he was still trapped in this huge city for one day, the risk of being searched and caught one day is.

Compared with the noisy and bustle of the coastal areas, the more you go, the more deadly the silence, as well as various signs of destruction and desolation, this also represents a temporary relative security and concealment.

To this end, he carefully avoided the buildings and houses that looked too gorgeous or slightly decent (who knew there were any armed personnel who were plundering or resting inside), and chose the shanty towns with relatively dilapidated appearances that seemed to be worthless as his hiding place and collecting the biological resources he wanted.

For those houses that are suspected of having movement and voices, or buildings that have obvious signs of movement, they should try to avoid them and rather bypass them.

Therefore, Zhou Huaian spent almost a lot of effort to search for more than a dozen houses and courtyards; he found a small piece of bacon that was almost the same color as the mud under the eaves and dried salted fish that had been left for unknown amounts of time, half a sieve was drying, and picked two crooked loofahs with big and small loofahs, which was all the gains.

Although they are covered with a lot of black and gray, the activated carbon-like ingredients that float out after excessive heat are temporarily harmless to the human body.

Finally, he even found a tofu shop nearby, but unfortunately he threw away the messy courtyard and shop that had been smashed outside. The various soy products that were left in the house were almost moldy or sour or sour. Although he was still hungry, after thinking about it, he gave up testing the method with his own stomach and intestines to test these semi-finished fermented bean curd that had not been manually processed and allowed to ferment naturally.

However, a small tank of salty fermented black beans buried under the wall surprised him a little. Although this thing smelled so bad, it was dried as a seasoning and melted with water. After it was replenished with salt and minerals needed by the human body in a timely manner, and it could be stored for a long time in high temperature and humid environments.

You should know that when walking on the African continent, the fermented black bean sauce, dried spicy sauce and pickled cabbage buns brought by China are known as the three magical tools for medical teams to regulate their diet and appetite. Whether it is the hard-to-dry cassava paste or sour noodles, or the strangely flavored toasted fruits and lettuce mixed mixtures, you can just pass by with these flavors.

Pour out all these fermented black bean sauce, apply it on a stone slab until it is almost dried by the sun. Then scrape it off and wrap it in paper.

Moreover, before there was no suitable stove and pot, Zhou Huaian didn't even dare to turn the fire to cook further, so he could only wash it with the well water he found. He chopped it with a knife and chewed it a little bit and swallowed it hard before he could barely relieve the burning hunger.

After resting for a while, he took off his soaked sweatshirt and shorts, put them on the outdoor stone trough that was hot in the sun and dried them slowly. He then wrapped his body in a dry cloth to start counting the fragments found on his body.

Paper certificates that have been soaked in water and passes issued by the East African peacekeeping forces, two private seal rings, a domestic three-defense multi-function watch (solar energy with positioning function), insect-proof ointment and hemostatic patches in the emergency bag, water purification tablets, and a small bottle of special pills for treating dysentery, a canister of artesunarin to prevent malaria; several small denominations of African currencies, a storage box key, and a UnionPay card...

By the way, there is a small five-star red flag in the back belt. In some cases in this black continent, these things are even more effective than passports. It is also Zhou Huaian's biggest detention from that era and his distant relatives and family life, which makes people cry and miss him.

But the original mobile phone and a shared maritime satellite phone landed on the car. If the personal items and consignment supplies in the car compartment and the truck were all coming with you, it would only sink under the water and cannot be trapped for the time being.

When he touched the hard object on the side of his thigh, he suddenly shuddered and actually forgot about this important thing, it was a pistol placed in his leg condom;

As a need to walk on the edge of war-torn areas in Africa, in fact, many people in the medical team have been subject to the need to simply use firearms; and as military occupants and weapons fans in a sense, Zhou Huaian, who has subscribed to many military weapons magazines including light weapons and weapons knowledge since childhood, also took advantage of the relaxed environment abroad to get a real gun and live ammunition.

Although he was only able to obtain cheap second-hand goods in war-torn areas, he still used all his spare time to go from familiar modern film and television classics such as AK47/56/Remington/M4 to early Gatland, old antiques such as touching the heart, Li Enfei, butter guns, Grandpa Sden, and even a wide range of all kinds of road goods leaked from foreign markets, and played all kinds of long guns and short cannons with great pleasure.

Although this pistol used for self-defense is far inferior to popular series such as Glock, Sigsauer, and Beretta, it is also a legendary gun that has fought World War I and World War II, and is still widely used in the vast number of third world countries - the 1911 extended magic revision;

That's right, it's a magical revision, a shortened alloy high-hard barrel and an extended twelve round magazine, and a component that greatly reduced weight with lightweight titanium. It is said that the previous owner was a South American smuggler who came to Africa to develop business. The metal skeleton on the grip was the mark he left. Then, he didn't know what happened, and by chance fell into the hands of a tribal chief, and was given as a gift to witness China-Africa's kindness and personal friendship;

Because everyone in the medical team has their own self-defense weapons, this extra souvenir will be temporarily stored and maintained in my name before returning to China.

Although the appearance has been worn and scratched very much, it has not affected the internal structure, and the directionality and accuracy of actual use are still quite satisfactory. Therefore, under a certain squirrel control complex, I kept taking it away for a moment, and took it out to adjust and test it whenever I had time.

Nowadays, such a short firearm with a full magazine, plus the twenty bullet bags in the waterproof bag, can at least be used for emergency and life-saving at critical moments. Compared to the unknown ghost thing that died in a flash in the pan, he also gave him more confidence and reliance on the next situation.

Of course, Zhou Huaian was not so arrogant that he thought he could rely on this thing to be unparalleled and face the siege of cold weapons in a siege. That is, when facing emergencies, such as the invisible rats or covettors, and unexpectedly, he would suck the cold ones for a while.

Then when checking the surrounding environment, he found the message he wanted at the alley not far away, which was a piece of wood burned and half of it, and a corner of hemp paper was left behind. You can vaguely see a few words at the signature:

"Lingnan XXX Strategy...Guangzhou Du X Mansion...Sixth year of Qianfu, Ji Hai"

This is Guangzhou in this era? The legendary city of thousands of sails, the most dazzling pearl in the South China Sea, the oldest external port and sea route in China, and the most prosperous and prosperous place in Lingnan.

But this grand and prosperous city has been trapped in the colors of blood and fire, with thick smoke that shook the sky and ubiquitous crying and noise everywhere.

As for the Guangzhou in that era, he was a little confused about the year Qianfu's reign. Although as a military history enthusiast with a wide range of interests, he has not argued with people on the forum about the details and possibilities of various historical events, it is really difficult to distinguish a specific era name and era in the vast and vast dynasties.

After all, Guangzhou’s history as an ancient city and port can even go back to the Qin and Han dynasties. From the perspective of architectural style and development, it has been far away from the Qin and Han dynasties and overlapping the brackets. It is at the peak of the feudal era in a sense. If we get rid of the obvious pig tails on the ground, we don’t know that it is in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.

After all, compared with the long years that have run through China's history, this is a rather international and one of the earliest cities to open up to the outside world; however, there are obviously only a handful of massacres that can occur in large cities like Guangzhou in history.

After comparing one by one, Zhou Huaian had several candidates in his mind, but the best way was to obtain more evidence such as the government announcement, or find a local resident to obtain information so as to provide some reference and comparison for his next step of action.
