004 thirty-one

It didn't take long for Chen Xu to choose a restaurant at the intersection, which is located on the first floor. It doesn't have to climb stairs. The freezer is large enough. The best thing is that there is also a diesel generator inside.

He is not unfamiliar with diesel generators. Before going to college, his parents opened a supermarket in the county. For a period of time, the county changed lines and often had power outages. The supermarket used diesel generators to generate electricity.

After launching the electricity, he swept over more than a dozen nearby restaurants and transported all the meat back until the ice warehouse could not be installed.

Although two people will definitely not be able to finish so much meat in half a year, they are ready for trouble.

"By the way, I don't know how Luo Xiyun is doing."

While he was frying a steak and calculating the amount of food, he remembered Luo Xiyun, who should have appeared long ago.

According to the nature of this dream, Luo Xiyun, who came out of this virtual world, was probably awakened at home like in reality. She has not appeared yet, and she doesn't know where she has gone.

He had no idea where her home was. The city was so big, and looking for someone was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.

"The best way is to make some noise and lure her over."

He smelled the scent of the steak and couldn't help swallowing. After working hard all morning, he was already hungry.

The first day was spent transporting supplies.

At night, Chen Xu, who had just finished taking a shower, sat in the only office in the restaurant, feeling a little guilty. He actually had to use bottled mineral water to take a shower, which was a waste.

"There's no way, the tap water has stopped."

He couldn't help but sigh. When there was only one person left in this world, it was much more difficult than he thought.

There is no takeout or tap water, you have to do everything yourself.

Forget this, the most unbearable thing is that there is no Internet!

He can't access the Internet, log in to the forum, watch videos, watch Douyin, and catch novels... This is very deadly. He doesn't play games normally, and he doesn't even watch it on his mobile phone, so he can only hold his mobile phone and stare blankly there.

There is a computer in the office, but the password is set.

"I have to go to the company tomorrow and move the computer back." He thought this way, yawning, and gradually fell asleep amid the sound of the diesel engine running.

The next morning, when Chen Xu woke up, he felt that there was no place on his body without soreness and was very uncomfortable.

"I'll go."

He sat up inhalation, his muscles all over his body were sour and numb, and that sourness, "It's so fatal."

He hasn't done physical work for a long time and has less exercise. He moved so many things yesterday and overworked, and the sequelae came.

"Is this a dream?" He wondered how many times he doubted the authenticity of this incident.

It is hard to imagine that everything in this world and the real soreness and pain in the body are simulated in a dream.

He took a deep breath and got up from the bed.

"No matter what, store some more supplies."

This suspicion gave him a deep sense of crisis. In case, all this was not a dream, but a real occurrence, and he was the only one left in the world. In order to survive better, he must prepare in advance.

He endured the soreness of his muscles, and after eating something, he brought the tools out.

In addition to food, there is another thing that is very important, that is medicine, which is life-saving things. Other materials can be put backwards, and a batch of medicines must be collected first.

From this moment on, he felt that he could not completely regard all this as a game. Instead, he seriously considered how to survive in such an end of the world.

At seven in the morning, the sun was already rising.

Chen Xu woke up and looked at the poster of the female star who didn't remember her name on the ceiling. Two seconds later, he woke up, sat up, picked up a pen, and wrote the number "31" on the wall.

The entire wall was full of numbers, from 1 to 30, which meant that he had been here for a full month.

He put down his pen, walked to the mirror, picked up the razor, and carefully shaved the stubble that appeared.

Then I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and washed my face.

After washing up, he left the office.

There is a table next to the corridor with a rice cooker on it. The lid is uncovered, and the heated porridge inside is inside.

This is the rice I put last night. I set the time and cooked it automatically. I can eat it when I wake up, which is very convenient.

Just as he fryed the salty and crispy peanuts, he finished half a pot of porridge, and felt warm and comfortable.

After breakfast, he washed the pots and dishes and put the things in place. He took out the small book he carried with him, opened it and looked at it. It was filled with some things to do.

He glanced quickly, picked up the pen, and drew a circle on two of them.

Diesel stocks are in a hurry.

Looking for vegetable seeds.

Then, he closed the notebook, put it back in his pocket, took the things, and went out.

Before leaving the house, he converted the power supply into a battery pack and turned off the diesel generator.

In order to extend the life of this diesel generator, he assembled a battery pack as a backup power supply. When he left, he used the battery pack to supply power.

“The weather is good.”

He walked out of the restaurant and looked at the clear sky, and his mood seemed to have become clear.

On the main road outside the door, there are two rows of cars parked, including luxury sports cars like Ferrari and Porsche, vans like Wuling, and Isuzu's medium-sized trucks.

He walked into a shop next to him and pushed out the oil barrels full of tow trucks. All the shops on the street on this road were converted into warehouses to store various supplies.

Chen Xu pushed the trailer, walked to a blue Isuzu truck, moved the oil barrel onto the truck. After moving it back and forth a few times, loaded most of the carriages, he set off.

He started the car and headed to the road to the right.

Over the past month, he has cleaned up the surrounding roads. This is not a small project. There are too many cars in this city, with some more crowded roads, and the cars completely blocked the road. It took him a lot of time to clear a road that can be used for a car to drive.

"There are gas stations everywhere, so don't worry about this one. The seeds of vegetables are not easy to find. Let's go to that vegetable market first." He was driving while thinking.

Modern urban people cannot live without vegetables almost every day, but few of them have planted vegetables by themselves. When he was in elementary school, he helped his grandfather who lived in the countryside to harvest rice. He has never seen what the vegetable seeds look like.

I can’t stand it if I just eat meat but not vegetables every day.

This month, he can still eat what is barely available, including potatoes, tomatoes and bean sprouts, and he is almost vomiting.

He never thought that one day he would be so eager for leafy vegetables.

…………

Half an hour later, Chen Xu stopped the car several hundred meters away from the vegetable market. It had not been cleaned up yet, and the road was full of cars, so it was impossible to get there.

He lifted the tool bag, got out of the car and walked over.

From afar, the smell of rotten came from the market. He took out a gas mask and put it on before he dared to walk in.

After more than ten minutes, he ran out of the room. The smell inside was so terrible that he couldn't stand it even with a gas mask. There were traces of vegetables and meat left after rotting.

He returned to the car and was a little depressed, "Do you really have to go to the suburbs to find it?"

There is no vegetable growing in modern big cities. They are all transported from the suburbs. He also found several vegetable bases located in the suburbs from the map.

However, the nearest vegetable base is more than 30 kilometers away. If you want to clean up a road, this project volume will make you feel numb just by thinking about it.

Finally, he took out his notepad, wrote it down on it, and went to the vegetable base to look for seeds. Save this matter for the future.

Next, he went to the nearest gas station and filled all the oil barrels.

The iron oil barrel has a capacity of about 30 liters. After filling it, it was nearly 50 kilograms. He brought a total of 50 empty barrels, filled them all and moved them to the car. It took more than two hours, which made him very tired.

If it were a month ago, he would definitely not be able to do such a job. If he moved a few buckets, his waist would be exhausted. This was only achieved by exercising after doing a lot of physical work every day in the past month.

After finishing his work, he moved a chair and a folding table from the car, found a shaded seat, sat down, took out a tablet computer from the backpack he carried with him, placed it on the table with a fixture, and then opened a movie.

He leaned on the chair, unscrewed the thermos, and watched the movie leisurely while drinking tea.

After hard physical labor, he would reward himself in this way.

Leisure time always passes very quickly, and a movie will be finished quickly.

Chen Xu looked at the time and it was lunch time at 11:40.

He dragged out gas cylinders, gas stoves, pots and pans from the carriage, and started cooking on the side of the road. Every time he went out to work, he would bring all these things and cook outside at noon so that he would not run around and waste time.

Cook rice, cook, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, put them in the pot...

After a while, the meal was ready, two dishes, one stir-fried with potato slices and the other stir-fried with bacon with garlic sprouts.

He sat in the middle of the road and finished the lunch.

After resting for half an hour, he dragged a folding bed from the car, placed it in a cool place, put on his headphones, listened to soothing pure music, put on his eye mask, and got up to sleep.

……………………

Chen Xu slept until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock. He stretched comfortably.

Since he started working, he has rarely had such leisure time. In order to make money, he is like a tight clockwork. Even on weekends, he just takes a breath and can't really relax.

He packed up his things, moved them back to the car, opened the car, and set off again.

After reaching the river, he parked his car, walked to the river with a few fishing poles, found a suitable place, loaded the bait, and threw it into the water one by one.
