A Son-in-law in Doomsday - C434
After a full minute of knocking, the door was finally opened.
Inside, a middle-aged man in his forties opened the door a crack.
A stream of warmth flowed out from the room, causing Yang Mu to suddenly want to cry.
He had not felt such warmth for many days. He really wanted his women to be immediately enveloped in this warmth.
Yang Mu didn’t waste his breath and directly opened the door wider before walking in.
“You, you, what are you doing!”
The middle-aged man was very nervous. He quickly ran inside and picked up an axe standing at the corner of the wall!
This kind of axe might only be seen in the north, with a very long handle for chopping firewood.
Yang Mu sized up the room. It was simple: a white wall, tiles on the floor, a row of sofas and cabinets.
The most eye-catching thing was the pile of coal in the corner. This was a good thing, the most important resource in the northern winter.
Rubbing his hands together, Yang Mu tried his best to smile and said:
“Uncle, it’s too cold. We’re really going to die!”
The middle-aged man sized Yang Mu up. His appearance was still the one that left a good impression on the other party.
After hesitating for a while, he put down the axe and softly said:
“It’s exactly three to nine days, and they’re going to freeze to death.”
“Uncle, I’m a survivor from the south. I don’t know much about our area, so I want to ask you about it.”
“Just you alone?”
“No, there are still some companions. They are outside the small city so they don’t know the situation so they didn’t come in. What is the name of this place?” Are there any zombies? ”
“Oh …” Before the apocalypse, there were originally over a thousand zombies, but they were all killed by everyone. This is not easy, many people died in order to kill zombies, but now there are only three thousand people left in the small town. ”
The uncle was very honest and spoke of many questions that Yang Mu wanted to know.
“This is a district?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, it’s really different from the cities we used to live in. Our districts are all overlapping with each other.”
“The north and the south are different, of course. We are a large city with a sparsely populated area. More than 20 districts are not connected, so the distance between the districts is about two hours.”
“A two-hour drive? Isn’t that over a hundred kilometers? ”
“More or less.”
“Oh, Uncle was very cautious. Other than zombies, what other dangers are there?”
“Beard!”
“Huh?”
“Bandits!” The Agility River District, which was approximately 80 kilometers away from them, had already become the bandit’s territory. They were bullying men and women to snatch food, which was very bad. When the time comes, let us poor people plant the land and let them enjoy it! ”
The uncle’s face was full of resentment.
Hearing this, Yang Mu was overjoyed and said:
“They have a lot of food?”
“Of course! The zombie disaster on this side was not that serious. The most serious problem was the bandits. These bandits were not originally bandits. In the beginning, they did put in a lot of effort to kill zombies, but later … Sigh, the world has changed, the rules have changed, but the person who has changed the most is still the human heart. ”
Perhaps it was because they had chatted for a while, but the uncle let his guard down.
He took the axe and entered the house.
What separated the room from the outer room was not a door, but rather a thick quilt. This thing might be relatively warm, enough to prevent the heat from spreading.
Yang Mu stood in the room for a moment and finally understood the situation.
Actually, the outer room was still a little cold. It was most likely a gift for the people who lit the fire, as only the inner room was warmer.
After a while, the old man came out with a large metal cylinder filled with steaming hot water.
When Yang Mu saw this, his eyes sparkled like stars. He had been eating snow recently and felt like he hadn’t drank any hot water for a long time.
He quickly took the cup and took a sip.
On one hand, it was because it was too hot. On the other hand, Yang Mu didn’t dare to drink too much. He had to feel whether or not his body’s condition had changed in order to avoid being drugged.
The apocalypse had always been a time of crisis. No matter what Yang Mu did, he had to be careful. This was what Yang Mu’s survival was all about.
“Uncle, then are all the people in our small city ordinary people?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you run out? I heard there are a lot of people crossing the border to Russia. ”
“I don’t dare to go out ah, ah, it’s a mess over there, there are more people fighting there, and there are also quite a few zombies there!” Zombies are really scary, although this mountain is very difficult to live in, at least it’s not easy for zombies to enter, the mountains in the forest area are one after another, no more than a hundred million zombies can’t even pass through this mountain range! It is fortunate that the bandits have not done all of this. Although they have done a lot of bad things, they would not kill someone for no reason.
Yang Mu’s mood finally became a little more straightforward.
The continuous mountain range, this was what he wanted. When spring arrives, when everything revives and the ice melts, he would build a peaceful doomsday city in the nearby mountains! He would be able to live in peace when the time came.
Actually, Yang Mu’s main thoughts were still to arrange the people beside him.
He could not be at ease, and would have to go out and collect ores.
However, at that time, he had also become someone with roots. It was actually quite good for him to live in a home where he could take refuge at any time.
Yang Mu had always wanted to walk through the apocalypse, but the fact was that he had to have a base. This way, he wouldn’t feel guilty.
Feeling that there wasn’t much of a reaction from his body, Yang Mu started to drink, and in a short while, he had a big cup of water.
Only then did his body start to warm up.
Uncle squatted by the side of the quilt door and smoked. He looked at Yang Mu’s face, which had turned red from the cold, and sighed.
“The descendants of the south are born in the north. They really can’t get used to it. Come in, it’s warm inside.”
“Ah?” “Thank you, Uncle!”
Yang Mu quickly stood up and followed the tree into the room.
In the middle of the room was a small living room. The living room was connected to the kitchen, and on the left and right of the living room were two doors that seemed to be the bedroom. There was even a door on the left side of the bedroom that seemed to be the kitchen.
There was an iron stove in the middle of the small living room, with a tin pipe attached to it. It went all the way to the kitchen and out the window.
Water was boiling on the stove. Uncle picked up the kettle and walked over to the radiator. He opened the valve and poured the water in.
In the past, they only provided collective heating. Now, they could only heat the water on their own, but even so, they could only maintain the room’s temperature at -10 degrees Celsius. However, this was already very warm, much better than -30 degrees Celsius outside.
After Yang Mu entered through the quilt door, he saw that there was a movement at the bedroom door on the right.
He should be a member of Uncle’s family, right? Maybe his wife?
If there was a woman in the house, he could still bring her in. From this, it could be seen that this person was very sincere.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Mu decided to clarify the matter.
“Uncle, is there anyone else at home?” If there’s not enough people, we plan to stay the night. It’s really not going to be easy outside. ”
The old man also hesitated for a moment, then he said:
“Are there any women?”
“Yes.”
“Women can come and stay at home.”
After saying this, the bedroom door on the right was suddenly opened, and a woman walked out.
She looked young, no more than forty years old, middle-aged and still attractive, with the height of a northern woman.
Her face did not look good. It could be said that her complexion was very poor. There was a trace of anger on her face.
It was obvious that the uncle’s warmth and generosity did not suit her.
After she came out, she glared fiercely at the uncle and spoke to Yang Mu.
“Bro, we have bandits here, we don’t dare to keep you. If the bandits find out that outsiders like us are here, it will definitely be trouble. Although they haven’t come out since late winter, no one can guarantee that they won’t.”
Yang Mu was still smiling. After all, Uncle was a good person.
This old lady wanted to scare him away. This was a dream!
When Yang Mu heard about the bandits having food, he was already moved. Even if the bandits didn’t come, he would still rob them.
Through some of the conversations, Yang Mu had already made his judgement.
This small city should be safe. They could let their own people temporarily live here. While preparing the supplies, they could spend the winter waiting for the spring to come to the mountain road to build the Apocalypse Fortress.
At this time, the sound of a horse was heard from outside the door.
This sound made the faces of the uncle and his wife turn green!
“The beard is coming! It’s Big Beard! ”
After being stunned for a moment, Yang Mu immediately understood that the transportation in the mountain should be horses.
That’s right, it was probably impossible to drive in the snow.
And the person who had the means of transportation was a bandit.
“What do we do!?” What should we do!? ”
The wife shook her uncle’s arm anxiously.
The uncle’s face was ashen. Suddenly, he moved and walked towards the bedroom in large strides. Then, he pulled out a little girl from the bedroom.
The girl didn’t look that big, she was probably around 13 or 14 years old.
However, it was very tall, probably around 1.67 or 1.68 meters.
The reason why Yang Mu judged her to be young was mainly due to her petite skeleton.
“Young man, this is my daughter Fang Ya. I’ve handed her over to you, I can tell that you must be a good person! Take her and jump out the window. The bearded man must be here to snatch her away, they were here for her before, they were too young and they weren’t taken away, but how could the bandits have any credibility? They’re probably here to snatch her away after reneging on their words! Take her away! ”
As Yang Mu’s gaze landed on the little girl’s face, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
Who does this little girl look like? For a moment, he couldn’t remember.
The main reason was that the comparison wasn’t too abstract. Perhaps it was because there was someone beside him somewhere?
“Young man! “Quick, take her away!”
At this moment, the sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard from outside the courtyard.
In just a short moment, the gates were smashed and a dog’s bark could be heard.
Soon, the barking sound got closer and closer, and Angele could vaguely hear the shouts coming from outside.
“Old Fang!” Why are you closing the door like that? Was it to prevent zombies or your grandfather? I will definitely take away my family’s Yabao today. It’s fine if she follows me, but if she doesn’t, then I will unload all of your old arms and legs. At that time, I will bring Xiao Ya and my mother-in-law to live! ”
“Haha, third brother, are you thinking of doing it with mother-in-law?”
“Hahaha!” Third brother is very loose, in terms of doing things to women, that aspect is very awesome. ”
“Humph, you guys don’t know, before the apocalypse began, he was already like this old man. If there was nothing to do, then he would just swing his broom and hit me. Laozi used to not care about it in the past, but now it is the end of the world, if it wasn’t for YaoBao’s face, laozi would have already taken his ankle and made him a cripple!” He is not grateful to me, but you still don’t want me to come with you! ”
From the way they spoke, it seemed that they had drank too much.
This Third Brother should be very familiar with Fang Ya.
At this moment, Fang Ya could no longer bear to listen. She suddenly pushed aside her own mother and rushed outside …
