#182 - Shelter 33
Although what Han Minna said was all one-sided.
However.
Song Haitang chose to believe it.
Because the way those people across from her looked at her was very scary and made her very disgusted!
People who have that kind of look in their eyes are definitely not good people.
At this moment.
The leader of the group across the way urged:
“Hey! Han Lao San, what's the decision? Give us a straight answer!”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Song Haitang, waiting for Song Haitang's decision.
From the questions Song Haitang asked them, everyone could vaguely feel that this ability user might want to take action.
The fact was indeed so.
Song Haitang didn't waste any words and chose to take action.
She walked past Han Lao San and stood directly in front of everyone, facing those people across from her.
The people across the way were a little confused when they saw this…
The next moment.
“Poof!”
Flames suddenly appeared around Song Haitang's feet.
Moreover, these flames were very strange, and they quickly spread to both sides, quickly forming a wall of fire that surrounded those people.
“Ability user!!”
The people across the way instantly fell into panic.
They probably never thought that there would be an ability user among Han Lao San's group.
Once you decide to attack, you must kill the enemy quickly with a thunderous attitude, without giving the enemy a chance to turn the tables.
Unless, it's deliberately teasing the enemy…
Song Haitang felt that Zhao Zheng's words made a lot of sense, so she always kept them in mind.
“Whoosh!”
Song Haitang flicked her index finger, and a small flame, like a bullet, directly pierced the forehead of the leader across the way.
Song Haitang had practiced this move for a long time, and had already reached a state of infallibility!
The leader had an unbelievable look on his face, but his body softly fell down.
Instant death!
Song Haitang chose to kill with one blow, because she was worried that these people would fight back before they died and destroy the food.
If these people realized they couldn't escape and threw the food on their bodies into the fire, it would be bad.
If it weren't for the food, she could have killed everyone with one move, and wouldn't need to be so troublesome.
Next.
Song Haitang flicked her index finger continuously, not giving those people any chance to escape.
“Ah! Crap…”
“Don't kill me, don't kill me.”
“Damn, fight her!”
There were a total of seven people on the opposite side.
And everyone had a gun in their hand.
When Song Haitang shot them, some chose to escape, but more chose to fight back.
“Da da da…”
The sound of AK rang out.
Unfortunately.
Song Haitang just waved her hand and built a wall of fire in front of her, easily blocking all the bullets.
Seeing this scene, those people were all desperate.
Han Lao San and others swallowed their saliva, filled with awe for Song Haitang.
…
In less than twenty seconds.
Everyone on the opposite side was killed.
Song Haitang waved her hand, and all the flames disappeared instantly.
The girl's pretty face remained calm, as if she had done something insignificant.
Seeing that Han Lao San and others didn't move, Song Haitang reminded: “Take the food and leave here as soon as possible. The noise just now will definitely attract zombies again.”
Hearing this, everyone woke up as if from a dream, and went forward to search for food, including the little bit of food left in the store, and then evacuated.
Ten minutes later.
In a residential house, everyone put all the food together. Looking at the food piled up like a small mountain in front of them, everyone's faces showed happy smiles.
As for the enemies who died in the firefight just now, no one cared about them at all.
Since the disaster came, they had seen too many dead people, and they were already numb.
People who are not strong enough in their hearts cannot survive to this day.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the food, and they were actually very hungry.
However, no one dared to touch it. Everyone looked at Song Haitang, waiting for Song Haitang to act first.
Song Haitang also knew that no one would dare to move if she didn't move, so she said:
“According to the prior agreement, we will split these foods in half. Let's start dividing now!”
Hearing this, the joy on everyone's faces was even greater.
They were just afraid that Song Haitang would go back on her word after seeing the food.
If Song Haitang really did this, they would have no choice but to accept it.
Fortunately.
Song Haitang didn't…
“Miss Jiuyue, you have made great contributions to obtaining these foods. We dare not be greedy. Three percent is enough.” Han Lao San took the initiative to say.
He had the intention of relying on Song Haitang, so he would say such a thing.
Otherwise, in the face of such scarce resources as food, absolutely no one would be willing to give way.
Song Haitang waved her hand: “We agreed to split it in half, so we will split it in half. I won't break my promise.”
Seeing that Song Haitang said it seriously, Han Lao San felt relieved.
Next.
Start dividing the food.
The food in the convenience store is almost all packaged products.
Han Lao San specifically distributed some better foods, such as "jerky" and "biscuits," to Song Haitang, and deliberately gave Song Haitang more.
“It's divided. Are you satisfied?” Han Lao San said.
Song Haitang glanced at it.
She wasn't blind, of course she knew that the food she got was better.
However, she didn't say much, and nodded: “That's it!”
“Thank you!”
Han Lao San said, and then greeted a few partners to eat something to fill their stomachs.
Everyone was already hungry, so they were not polite and went forward to pick food and started eating on the spot.
Song Haitang didn't eat.
She is not hungry yet.
Picking up a pack of biscuits, Song Haitang glanced at the expiration date and production date, and frowned slightly.
“These foods have expired for a long time…”
Hearing this, Han Lao San was a little surprised, and then explained with a smile: “These foods are all made with technology and harsh ingredients. There is nothing else in them. The preservatives must be excessive. The shelf life is actually very long.”
“For example, this pack of biscuits, although the shelf life is only marked as 12 months, in fact, it may not be bad for twelve years. In the peaceful era, those unscrupulous merchants would re-label the production date of expired food that could not be sold and then continue to put it on the shelves for sale.”
“Speaking of which, we still have something to eat now, thanks to those unscrupulous merchants…”
Song Haitang was speechless when she heard this.
There are some things Han Lao San didn't say.
In the current environment, it's good to have something to eat, who would dare to be picky?
When they had no food, they ate leaves and grass roots.
Some unscrupulous survivors even resorted to cannibalism.
Some shelters were ostensibly shelters, but in reality, they were dens of demons.
Those demons, under the guise of shelters, attracted survivors, and once they lured people in, they became their meat!
“Sister Yue, aren't you hungry?”
Seeing Song Haitang not eating anything, Han Minna couldn't help but ask.
Song Haitang shook her head: “I'm not hungry for now.”
Hearing this, Han Minna was filled with curiosity towards Song Haitang.
She had never seen a survivor who wasn't hungry.
Even those terrifying wanderers were often starving.
“Sister Yue, where are you planning to go next?” Han Minna asked curiously.
As soon as this question came out, everyone pricked up their ears, including Han Lao San.
Song Haitang thought for a moment and said, “Do you know about the Thor Shelter?”
“Thor Shelter?”
Han Minna said in surprise: “I know, I heard that it was a shelter jointly built by the Academy of Sciences and the military after the disaster, but it's located in Hancheng, which is at least 1,500 kilometers away from here… Sister Yue, do you want to go to the Thor Shelter?”
Hearing about the 1,500 kilometers, Song Haitang frowned slightly.
That's too far.
In the apocalyptic environment, there are terrifying monsters everywhere, and ordinary people cannot reach it at all.
Even if she is a powerful extraordinary person, being careful, there is hope of reaching it, but Song Haitang doesn't want to go.
It's so far, by the time she gets there, it will be too late.
“Since it's so far, then I won't go.” Song Haitang said.
She didn't suspect Han Minna was lying.
Because Teacher Shen said that the Thor Shelter was indeed in Hancheng.
Han Minna added: “Since we can't go to the Thor Shelter, then Sister Yue, why don't we go to Shelter 33 together?”
“Shelter 33?” Song Haitang asked doubtfully: “How come I haven't heard of it?”
Although Teacher Shen also introduced a lot of information about shelters.
But there was no relevant content about this “Shelter 33”.
“Shelter 33 was created by my old leader, it's relatively small in scale, it's normal that you haven't heard of it.”
This time, it was Han Lao San who answered: “If Miss Yue doesn't have a good place to go for the time being, you can indeed consider going to Shelter 33 to take refuge first. My old leader's ultimate goal is also to go to the Thor Shelter.”
“I heard that a complete ecosystem has been established in the Thor Shelter, which can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to come out and risk finding food…”
Speaking of this, Han Lao San looked envious.
Those young people also had yearning faces.
In the apocalyptic environment, having a self-sufficient shelter is undoubtedly a paradise that all ordinary survivors yearn for.
Song Haitang thought for a while, and felt that going to Shelter 33 with them was not impossible.
Anyway, she has nowhere to go for the time being.
However, there were some questions she still needed to ask clearly.
“Where is Shelter 33? How far is it from here?”
Seeing that Song Haitang seemed a little interested, Han Lao San was very happy and quickly said: “It's not far, it's in a military base outside the city, about a hundred miles away from here. Even if we walk slowly, we can get there in two or three days.”
Song Haitang nodded and asked, “Since you know about the existence of Shelter 33, why didn't you go there earlier?”
Han Lao San smiled bitterly: “We only recently obtained a usable radio, and received the message from the old leader on the radio channel.”
Hearing this, Song Haitang's heart moved: “Are you saying that your old leader is actively sending out information to take in survivors?”
Han Lao San immediately said: “Miss Yue, I understand your concerns, please rest assured, my old leader is my old battalion commander, he is upright and trustworthy.”
It seems that this old battalion commander left a very good impression on Han Lao San, which is why this guy trusts him so much.
Song Haitang thought for a moment and asked, “When are you planning to set off?”
Han Lao San immediately said: “We were previously troubled by food, but now that we have food, we plan to leave tomorrow.”
After thinking again and again.
Song Haitang still felt that it was better not to go.
She just needs to stay here and wait for Zhao Zheng to come, there is no need to take risks.
So, Song Haitang said: “You go! I don't want to go.”
“Ah?”
Hearing this, many people were very disappointed.
“Sister Yue, why don't you want to go?” Han Minna couldn't help but ask.
Song Haitang said: “I'm waiting for someone.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Han Lao San.
Han Lao San then asked: “I wonder when the person Miss Yue is waiting for will arrive?”
“Probably in ten days or half a month!” Song Haitang said.
Han Lao San seemed completely disheartened when he heard this.
“Third Uncle, why don't we wait here too?” Han Minna said.
Han Lao San shook his head: “The old battalion commander plans to start heading to Hancheng in a week, we don't have that much time.”
Hearing about going to Hancheng, Han Minna immediately stopped talking.
The Thor Shelter is a place she yearns for!
Song Haitang couldn't help but ask: “Hancheng is so far away from here, how can you be sure that the battalion commander can take you there?”
“Who can be sure of this kind of thing?” Han Lao San said with a bitter smile: “It's just that staying here, sooner or later, we won't be able to escape death, so it's better to gamble and try, that is the last hope for mankind.”
Song Haitang nodded and said, “Then let's part ways here! Take more food with you later, just leave me enough for half a month.”
Hearing this, Han Minna seemed very reluctant.
She said: “Sister Yue, why don't you come with me to our base first? That base is quite safe, anyway, we are leaving tomorrow, and no one will be left behind, why not leave it to you and let you wait for someone.”
Hearing this, Song Haitang showed an interested look: “Okay, then thank you very much.”
“You are too polite, Sister Yue.”
… …
Next.
The group walked towards the base.
Han Lao San's base was not far away, it was an abandoned factory.
This factory built a solid basement for storing goods, and there was also a ventilation system inside.
Currently, the basement has been改造 (gǎi zào: transformed/remodeled) by Han Lao San and the others, it is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place, and the ventilation system can also be used as a temporary escape passage, which is indeed relatively safe.
“I know the former boss of this factory, I came to help when he built the basement. It was built very firmly, and soundproofing materials were added. Staying inside is definitely safer than outside.”
On the way, Han Lao San also introduced it to Song Haitang.
