Survival [End Times]

The partition doors opened one by one, and then the main door. The long-lost air rushed in, and many people cried with joy.

Yu Heng stood at the door and took a deep breath, and couldn't help but sigh that he was finally out.

But after coming out, where should he go?

There were many people who had the same confusion as him, so most people stayed and did not leave.

The underground city did not provide food anymore, so everyone went out to find food for themselves. But it was obvious that this time the poisonous fog for a long time almost corroded the entire world.

I thought it would be heaven after the poisonous fog dissipated, but in fact, there was nothing else to be happy about except that the activity area became larger and the air we breathed became better.

Those people behind him were arguing with the people in the underground city, asking them to provide food.

"This is your duty!"

"We really have no food in the underground city. The entire underground city has accommodated more than 40,000 people..."

"Then don't you need to eat?"

"This, this..."

Zheng Zekui did not leave either. Although she was 24 years old, she felt that this boy younger than her was more reliable than her - at least she could not be so calm when she was alone.

"Lu Heng, what are your plans?"

Yu Heng's plan?

He did have an idea: this time he stayed in the underground city for more than 50 days. Although it was really safe, it was a waste of time. He could not just take survival as the only goal. What is the "city ticket" is not something that can be figured out by staying in the safe zone.

He needed to change his next strategy. According to his idea, he still wanted to go to the capital.

Zheng Zekui was very happy: "Really? Then can we go together? Of course, just like our previous agreement, I will do my best to reward you with food when we arrive in the capital!"

Yu Heng had no objection, so he agreed.

Zheng Zekui's voice was very loud because of excitement, and everyone else heard it.

"Go to the capital? Will it be safer there?"

"Is there any food there? The general will definitely not watch us starve to death!" The country's supreme leader inherited the previous title, and the people all called him the general.

What was even more exciting was that there were also several people who lived in the capital, who came over and asked: "Can we go together?"

Zheng Zekui said awkwardly: "I can't make the decision..." Looking at Yu Heng.

Everyone was a little surprised and couldn't believe that this young man was making the decision. So they laughed: "It's on the way anyway. By the way, do you have any food? Anyway, let's eat together!"

Zheng Zekui was so angry that he didn't care about his previous upbringing and said stiffly: "No."

Yu Heng picked up the man who was about to pester him and put him aside: "Such a noise." In the past month, others have lost weight, but he has grown taller and stronger, with a young body that is properly exercised for this age.

Seeing him grinning as if he was about to hit someone, Yu Heng twisted his wrist: "Want to fight? Come on."

Kicking the man away, Yu Heng said to the others who were standing there staring blankly: "She and I do plan to go to the capital. If you want to travel together, you can come together, but let's be clear, we are all strangers, so forget about traveling together, and take care of the rest by yourself."

This is a powerful statement, but with the image of him just lifting an adult man with one hand, people didn't dare to say that he was bragging or a braggart. Anyway, he just wanted to travel together, and it would be good for him to be clear.

So they all nodded and asked: "How are you going? All cars should be stopped now, right?"

Although the capital is not far from here, if there is no means of transportation, it is a world away.

"I plan to discuss it with them." Yu Heng pointed to the Luyang Underground City behind him: "They have military trucks. If they can give us one..." From here to the capital, it will take eleven hours if the road conditions are good.

"Will they lend it?"

When they thought about borrowing a military card from the army, they felt uneasy.

That's a military card! Not just any van or motorcycle!

Yu Heng sighed: "If they have a van or a motorcycle that can be driven, it's OK." He wasn't so greedy that he would look at the military card at first glance. In fact, as long as it was a means of transportation, it would be fine.

Except for the underground city, which could preserve some means of transportation, how could the outside withstand the poisonous fog? Not to mention that the poisonous fog lasted so long this time that even the walls were corroded.

He searched nearby for a day and couldn't find a complete car. So he turned his attention to the military card.

"Then, then you go and ask?" Anyway, they didn't have the courage to ask the army to borrow a military card, and they were trembling at the thought.

Yu Heng really went, and the guards at the gate were really stunned after hearing his request.

"The people over there are also going to the capital, there's really no other way." He pointed to the dozen people who stretched their necks to look at him.

"I'll go report, wait a moment."

If it were normal times, such a request would definitely not be taken seriously. Apart from anything else, how could military supplies be lent out casually? But now is a special period, and it should be treated specially.

"Wow, he really dares to ask..."

"Such courage... a newborn calf is not afraid! What's the result?"

Yu Heng walked over and shook his head: "I didn't borrow it."

Everyone was disappointed.

"Well, what should we do?"

"Can we walk over? They said that the next poisonous fog will come in a few days?"

"It said it would be thirteen days later, but I don't know if it's true..."

"But they promised to give us a ride and get off at Zhenshun."

"Then let's go - ah really?!"

"Oh, you kid didn't say it all in one breath, I was scared! Hahaha!"

Zheng Zekui was surprised and happy, tears soaked his eyes, and asked: "How did you convince them?"

Yu Heng said: "Nothing. Although we can't borrow the car, they have to go to Zhenshun to do business, so they took us along the way. They will leave in about 20 minutes, so hurry up if you need to pack your things."

Zhenshun is a famous granary, and he guessed that they were going to transport food to Zhenshun. After all, this safe zone has only a single function, that is, to accommodate refugees, and has no production function.

Twenty minutes later, a military truck was dispatched on time. Yu Heng and his dozen people were placed on one of the military trucks, driving all the way through the devastated land and rushing towards the capital.

On the road, Yu Heng saw scars almost everywhere, and many pedestrians he met had cloth wrapped on their faces, and the only exposed parts were also scarred and covered with pimples.

The military truck received many people along the way, all of whom were in trouble because they couldn't find food.

"Save me! Save me!"

"It's the xx army! Save me! Give me food, I want to eat!"

The journey was only ten hours, and they were going to transport food. The army didn't bring any food, so they could only comfort the people: "There will be food when you get to Zhenshun."

It took twenty hours to finally reach Zhenshun.

When the vehicle slowly stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Heng also followed those people to the granary base. They decided to find some food before setting off. After all, it would take at least two hours to walk to the capital. Everyone was starving, so he followed the crowd.

Porridge was being distributed outside the Zhenshun granary base!

People who had been hungry for a long time shouted to squeeze in, but were stopped: "Queue up, queue up!"

Standing in the queue, Yu Heng listened to the excited conversations of the people around him and observed the situation of the granary base.

He still remembered the list of safe isolation areas he had memorized, and the Zhenshun granary base was not on it.

There were more than twenty lines in the queue, each line was as long as an earthworm, and crooked.

"There are so many people."

It was five hours later when they got to the queue. The porridge was boiling hot and exuded a rich aroma.

Gurgle gurgle - the sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

"I haven't had such delicious porridge for a long time!"

After eating and drinking, someone led them to the car. It turned out that many people were unable to reach the quarantine area before the poisonous fog came. During the poisonous fog, Zhenshun took in many refugees. After the poisonous fog ended, it accepted many survivors.

Although there is enough food and protection here, it is a place to store food after all, and it is not possible to accommodate so many survivors here.

So the survivors here must go to other quarantine areas.

"Don't worry, there will be enough food over there." Of course, some people are unwilling to leave, fearing that there is no food in other safe areas. Zhenshun Granary with a mountain of food must feel more secure.

However, the administrator Zhenshun refused to agree. When Yu Heng got on the car and left, he could still hear the noisy and sharp quarrels behind him.

The army of the He? Safety Zone transported Yu Heng and his group of survivors. The He? Safety Zone is the National Stadium. The soldiers escorting them said that it has already accepted 330,000 people.

"Wow!"

The talkative soldier smiled bitterly: "It is more difficult to manage with more people. When you arrive, you must read the rules of the stadium and never violate them, especially stealing food and destroying protective facilities, which are all serious crimes. Now the country has entered the first level of war preparedness. According to the wartime regulations, they can be directly sentenced to death."

Listening to everyone talking about the expulsion of people from Luyang Underground City, the soldier nodded in understanding: "We did the same at the beginning, but sending people out frequently allowed more poisonous fog to come in, so later we just shot them directly."

These words greatly shocked the survivors.

Both expulsion and shooting are death, but shooting makes people feel more severe.

Because of this, after arriving at the He? Gymnasium, everyone cooperated very well and read the management manual carefully.

Yu Heng was looking down at the manual when he suddenly heard someone calling: "Lu Heng?" He called several times. He looked up and saw that the "Lu Heng" sounded even sharper.

"Lu Heng, it's really you!!"

A fat boy ran over and hit Yu Heng.

"Wow, it's really you! How did you come to the capital? Ah, I really didn't expect to see you again!"

Yu Heng had already recognized that this was Lu Heng's former classmate, named Zhang Jiashu, a slightly fat boy with average academic performance. Because Lu Heng had a good temper and often explained questions to him, the two formed a good friendship.

Zhang Jiashu's family was well-off. Although he also lived in the dormitory, he would always go home on weekends and bring back a lot of things and share some with Lu Heng.

Not long after the fog started, their family took refuge in their grandfather's house in the capital, so they hadn't seen Lu Heng for more than half a year.

Yu Heng smiled: "Just arrived today. Does your family live in the gymnasium?"

"Yes, yes, where are your family? We live together! I tell you, it's very boring after the poisonous fog came. My mother even asked me to do homework! Oh my God, can you believe it? I still have to do homework! Such a thick book of wrong questions is waiting for you to save it!"

"I'm alone."

Zhang Jiashu seemed to have his throat strangled, and he laughed: "Oh, so that's it——" Thinking that Lu Heng's family had been killed by the poisonous fog, he looked at him sympathetically: "Then you have to live with our family, and we can do homework together."

This was the most comforting thing he could think of.

Yu Heng shook his head: "I'll just listen to the arrangements. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Finally, he was arranged in the sub-hall C.

The square of the C hall was already full of people, and most of the remaining seats were chairs. Yu Heng found a seat on the stairs and officially moved in.

But before Zhang Jiashu came to find him to do homework together, he found that he was no longer living there.

Later, he came a few more times but didn't meet anyone.

"Where did he go?" Zhang Jiashu muttered.

A middle-aged woman next to him looked at him and said, "Are you here to look for that tall and thin young man?"

"Yes, yes, auntie, do you know where he went? Why is he not here all day long?"

"He left to join the army! I told you not to look for him to do homework." The tall and thin young man gave her a pack of biscuits to pass on this message, and she agreed in one breath.

"Join the army?" Zhang Jiashu was stunned, and then he exclaimed, "How did he get in..."
