Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan was awakened by the noise outside. He grabbed the handle of the knife suddenly. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and carefully moved Wang Shishi and Huang Jiahui's arms and thighs away, but such a movement also made them quarrel. woke up.

"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui took out a pistol and asked alertly.

"It's nothing! You guys go on sleeping, I'll go and have a look." After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he unzipped the tent and walked out.

...

There was already a quarrel outside, but even if it was a quarrel, everyone tried their best to suppress their voices.

"You let us eat this?"

"Can such thin porridge be enough to eat? I think it can reflect the figure of a person."

"Call your boss here, I don't believe you will have no food for the few of us, I think you look down on our boss Luo!"

"Brothers, don't get excited. Everyone, please be considerate. We do have some food, but we can't finish it all at once. I don't know when we can go out here. We can't eat everything we can eat first, and then Are you waiting to starve to death?" A middle-aged man smiled wryly and kept explaining,

As soon as these words were said, the anger on the faces of the people calmed down a little. Thinking of the situation here, and not knowing when they would be able to leave this place, most of them gave up the idea of ​​adding food.

"Let's say... say... say..." The middle-aged man continued his efforts, intending to continue to spit, when he suddenly saw Luo Yuan walking over with that frightening long knife in his hand, his expression froze. , the words got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't speak anymore.

"Boss Luo!"

"Boss Luo, I'm awake. I'm so sorry I woke you up." The middle-aged man slapped his face, and immediately burst into an incomparably bright smile, bowing his head and bowing.

Luo Yuan remembered that this person was someone close to Su Jianhao, and he was well-versed in human relations, articulate, able to deal with these people with ease, obviously it was not a simple role.

Luo Yuan frowned and looked at the big iron pot in front of him. The porridge was so thin that you could almost see the bottom of the pot, and the amount was about one bowl per person. There was a plate of pickles next to it, and the amount was also small. Poor, he picked up the spoon, stirred it a few times, and put it down again.

The middle-aged man's name is Huang Zhongchan. Looking at Luo Yuan at this moment, he saw his brows furrowed tightly, and felt uneasy. He secretly thought that he was obsessed with ghosts, and he was habitually thinking of embezzling the food of this murderous demon king. When he thought of his method, his forehead began to twitch. Breaking into a cold sweat, although the other party looked calm, God knows if they will suddenly violently kill people. If I had known earlier, I would not have followed, but it was already too late to regret it.

Luo Yuan raised his head and glanced at Huang Zhongchan, who suddenly shuddered, his face turned pale, his body was on the verge of falling, and he forced a stiff smile on his face. Before Luo Yuan could speak, he quickly remedied: "I ...I'll take the porridge back immediately and exchange it for rice."

Luo Yuan glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect to kill a person yesterday, leaving such a deep impression on the other person's heart, but just to make these people afraid, so as not to make any fools, he clicked Nod: "Then go faster."

Huang Zhongchan heaved a sigh of relief, not even daring to wipe off his sweat, he hurriedly greeted the other two subordinates, hurriedly picked up the iron pan, and fled in a hurry, as if he was leaving some kind of cave.

………

After a small episode, the meal was delivered quickly, and this time it seemed richer. Of course, it was only relatively speaking, not to mention before the end of the world, even in the small villa a day ago, it was far inferior.

Luo Yuan didn't eat with the people outside, but ordered food and walked into the passage.

At this time, Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi had already woken up, took turns washing their faces and brushing their teeth with a small basin of water brought over.

"How many bottles of mineral water are there in the bag?" Luo Yuan asked. I lost all my luggage during the escape last night, but the backpack was on my back. However, the backpack is too small to hold many things.

"I just counted five bottles and a few compressed biscuits. The rest are gold bars and food stamps, but I'm afraid I won't be able to use these things here," Huang Jiahui said.

"Lost the food stamp, it's useless. Drink water and compressed biscuits and don't touch them, and use them in an emergency." Luo Yuan frowned, feeling the slight vibration of the ground, with a worried expression on his face: "I won't stay here for long , we'll be leaving soon."

"Brother Luo, why? It's very safe here. The air-raid shelter is so strong that no mutant beasts can come in." Wang Shishi said anxiously. She thought she could settle down here, but she was about to leave after only one night.

"Do you really have to leave?" Xu Shi had experienced a lot, but Huang Jiahui was much calmer.

Luo Yuan nodded solemnly: "After all, this is not an underground base. There is no material reserve at all. The most important food is too little. Many people just carry some surplus food with them. It's okay for three to five days. I'm afraid it will be worse after a long time." I haven't been hungry before, but I can imagine what a group of hungry people will do. Let's leave here after a few days of recuperation?"

Huang Jiahui's heart trembled, thinking of all kinds of cold descriptions of the ancient famine, as if seeing the miserable scene not long after, her face became extremely ugly: "Then where are we going?"

"Go back to the villa first, there is still enough food and supplies there, enough to last for a year or even longer, and by then those mutant beasts will have no food, so they should have retreated." Luo Yuan was uncertain.

Listening to Luo Yuan's calm description of the mutant beast's food, Wang Shishi couldn't help but feel his stomach tumbling, retched a few times, and his face turned pale.

When Huang Jiahui thought that most of the people here would die, she felt so depressed that she couldn't breathe. After a long time, she said quietly, "Are all these people going to die?"

Luo Yuan knew Huang Jiahui's thoughts in his heart, and he sighed: "Compared with those outside the air-raid shelter, the people here are already considered lucky, at least this period of time is calm. If there are only three or four people or a dozen people , I saved it if I saved it, but there are too many people here. I took a quick look last night, and there are probably thousands of them, and they are all ordinary people. Even if all the food in the villa is given to them, how many days can they last? No. Think so much, let's eat first."

Luo Yuan picked up his rice bowl and suddenly lost his appetite. After a few mouthfuls, he couldn't eat any more. He felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

But he knew that this sense of guilt would kill people. Even if he risked his life and went out on adventures every day to hunt and kill mutant beasts, he still couldn't feed so many people. The poor take care of themselves alone, and the rich help the world. It will depend on the situation when the time comes, if you want to follow yourself then, save as many as you can.

Think silently.

………

The next day, some people who came with Luo Yuan began to vomit and have diarrhea, and blood-red spots appeared on their skin. In severe cases, she even developed a high fever and fell into a coma. In the afternoon, even Huang Jiahui began to feel sleepy and weak, and her hands and feet felt weak.

At first, these people thought they had an acute infectious disease, and the entire air-raid shelter was in panic. In the last days, there is a shortage of medical treatment. Once infected with an infectious disease, it is almost fatal. What's more, no one knows whether these infectious diseases have mutated and are not targeted. Immunization drugs are simply mortal.

But he was quickly reminded by a young man who came with him that this was the sequelae of nuclear radiation.

This is a doctor, but unfortunately there is a shortage of medicines and there is no good way. Just asked Luo Yuan to prepare some salt water for people to swallow in large quantities.

Luo Yuan is not a doctor, but he studied science in college, and iodized salt contains potassium iodide. Apart from preventing radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid gland, it cannot prevent other types of radiation, including nuclear radiation. But nowadays, only dead horses are used as living horse medicine.

Within a few hours after taking the salt water, Huang Jiahui recovered naturally due to the effect of iodized salt or her physical fitness. The three most serious people died on the second day, but after the third day, everyone began to recover one after another, making the doctor call it a miracle again and again.

Luo Yuan knows that in the last days, although human beings have not evolved drastically like animals, their physique has been significantly enhanced compared to before the last days because of food. The effect of some mild or moderate radiation on the human body is no longer fatal.

Just like Luo Yuan and Wang Shishi, because of their own quality, they didn't even have a slight reaction.
