Endless Road of Corpse - C90
I always wanted MaggieQ to move in with us. It’s not just because I don’t know about her. The biggest reason is that she’s really too strong. If she can join our team, then it’ll definitely increase our survivability by a lot. Even though the other members of the team and I have repeatedly brought it up, she rejected it flatly.
I asked her why? Do you think we’re useless? But she shook her head and said no, after a long silence she said she had something important to do.
“To track down Sauron?” And … “And the others?” I asked.
MaggieQ was silent again for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.
“This world is already like this, what’s the point in looking for it?”
MaggieQ sighed in a rare way and said, “Actually, I don’t know, but I feel like looking for it is like… It’s as if I was born for this. ”
I asked her many times about the origin of MaggieQ. In the end, I was certain that she didn’t want to hide it from me, but had indeed lost a portion of her memories. She only remembered her mission — to find out the source of the Solam Virus that caused the Zombie’s crisis, to stop the spread of the virus, and to find a connection between the two. But she had no idea who had ordered her to do so, what organization she belonged to, or even where she came from, or what her real name was.
I always remember the last lesson she gave us, and that day MaggieQ taught us survival discipline, such as triple safety rules, that we had to prepare at least three different sources of supplies for vital survival supplies or elements, such as food, drinking water, energy, etc. Even if a source were to be cut off or dried up, it would not immediately lead to a crisis.
There was also the blackout, and every day, before sunset, the shutters on the doors and windows had to be removed. Every day, before dark, the men on duty would walk around the house to see if there was anything they needed to correct. If you want to see a map or something, you have to block the shooting hole of the post. If you need to look at a map while you’re walking, you can look under the shawl to prevent it from leaking out.
Then there is the law of heat balance, which means that when you are hungry, you should estimate the heat consumption before you start any kind of behavior. If the amount of heat consumed by the act of obtaining food itself is close to or greater than the amount of heat provided by the food obtained, then there is no need for this act to be carried out.
That is, if you go fishing at the water’s edge, or if you go hunting in the woods, and you end up catching fish or hunting prey that doesn’t make up for your physical exertion today, it will only make you hungrier than it is. Even if there was no other food available, hunting was the only way. He had to consider setting up traps and other ways to wait and wait.
Finally, there was the rule of food safety, which meant that if you couldn’t guarantee food safety, then no matter how hungry you were, you had to resist eating. Because in the absence of medicine, even the most common food contamination caused by diarrhoea, can be fatal. However, the human body’s tolerance towards hunger is actually much higher than we expected. Even if ordinary people don’t consume any calories, they can only drink water for seven days. The fear of hunger is mostly due to our own anxiety.
“Remember, in this world, the most important thing is not how good your equipment is, nor how skilled you are, nor how rich your reserves are. The most important thing is your luck!” MaggieQ concluded, “Luck comes from probability. Avoiding dangerous places can increase your chances of survival by a large half. Remember, don’t go where you think there is food. “Finally, there are two important points: concealment is the most important thing in life, violence is the last choice to solve the problem!”
After saying that, MaggieQ looked around at us, nodded, and walked away.
“Eh …” I cried out.
“Anything else?” MaggieQ turned to look at me.
“That… Will we meet again? ”
MaggieQ smiled sweetly. “I believe so.”
After MaggieQ left, it was as if we were a group of people who had gone from gray, desperate, and passing to more confident, positive, and optimistic. MaggieQ let us know that even at the end of the world, we can still think, seek out all sorts of possibilities, and make our lives more comfortable and beautiful.
Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie, the two girls, had picked up the vegetables from the Uncle Feng. The two girls, who previously did not touch the Yang Spring Water with their ten fingers, were now busying themselves on the vegetable patch all day, weeding, turning over the soil, reaping the seeds, and even fertilizer with their feces without any complaints.
At this time, Monkey revealed his omni-directional talent. Aside from his old trade in smacking tin, he would get a little work done by the plasterers, the carpenters and even the plumber. Even our former biggest talent in construction, Comrade Wang Dali, would only be able to help him. He led them through the original running water system of the factory, moving the stainless steel water tower from the sixth floor to the third floor and replacing some of the broken pipes. Now all we have to do is take the well water up to the third floor and pour it into the water tower, and we’ll have tap water. On the day that the tap water was connected, we were all cheering and praising the monkey. Even Zhang Yiling, who didn’t normally take us seriously, gave him a gentle look. This caused San Mao to be depressed, he kept lamenting that in this world, people were inferior to dogs, and that being handsome was not as good as knowing how to cook. Back then, I was still the King of the West Lake Region! ” San Mao looked at Zhang Yiling who was wiping the sweat off her forehead and said resentfully.
In addition to this, the daily training continued. Other than Little Casey, everyone, including the two girls, were able to continuously run for five kilometers. Although there was still a big difference between running and running for ten kilometers while carrying twenty kilograms of weight according to MaggieQ, but for San Tu and Yang Yufan who originally wished to die from the pain of running for a kilometer, their bodies were in a difficult situation.
The set of fist techniques and Infinite Saber s had to be practiced everyday, especially the strong power, as if they were infatuated with the Infinite Saber s. On the basis of the only original move, they created a few changes, and this extremely fierce and abnormal blade technique was unleashed by the innate divine strength of Wang Qiang.
There was even less of a need to talk about firearms. Right now, even Xiao Jie and Xiao Jie could disassemble an AK rifle and a 92 type handgun in 60 seconds. After a few shots, he was actually comparable to the original police academy’s shooting champion, San Mao, and he was also very concerned with the training of firearms, when MaggieQ was around, he asked for a lot of questions, and now his knowledge of firearms is no weaker than San Mao’s.
These training and shelter improvements keep us very busy every day, with only an hour to rest after lunch, except for eating and sleeping.
The afternoon after fixing the tap water, we were still sitting under the eaves, basking in the sun.
Big Might suddenly said in a faint voice, “It’s going to be New Year in three days.”
