doomsday survival

Chapter 396
Since the birth of human beings, they have set their sights on the endless starry sky.His eyes are full of wonderful fantasies and the desire to explore. Conquering the starry sky has become one of the greatest pursuits of human beings.

But now, in the last days when civilization has retreated, and the wasteland filled with nuclear dust, the starry sky has once again become the direction that people pursue.

Shi Jian has never been so excited to see the stars as he is now.

In the old days, living in the urban reinforced concrete jungle, as an otaku, he didn't know how long it has been since he had all kinds of whimsical ideas under the twinkling stars in the night sky like a child.

The news of the starry sky immediately spread to everyone's ears through radio waves, and the convoy of hopeful people drove towards the pure starry sky in the north.

Normally, the human line of sight can reach infinite distances, but because the earth is a sphere, the horizon in our eyes is actually only [-] kilometers away from you.

An hour later, the night sky above the head was finally free of that layer of haze. The dark night sky was as pure as gemstones, dotted with diamonds.

The convoy stopped, and people got out of the car one after another, looking up at the starry sky, with a kind of excitement surging in their hearts.

I don't know who took the lead, just heard a long howl, and the whole tribe cheered up to the sky, letting out the indescribable agitation in their chests.

Shi Jian, like everyone else, shouted loudly like a child, until his voice became hoarse, and then he stopped.

Dozens of bonfires were burning blazingly, providing warmth to the people and at the same time illuminating the surrounding wilderness like daytime.

On each bonfire, there is an iron pot, the ice and snow inside are slowly melting, and after a while, bursts of white steam come out.

People stood in groups of two in the wilderness, cleaning each other's bodies.The person to be cleaned stands on the downwind vent, and asks his companion to clean his whole body with a broom, and then switch to clean up the radioactive contamination on the other person's clothes.

After everyone cleaned up, the water in the iron pot was already boiling.People took buckets and filled them with water, and by the light of the campfire, they washed the cars inside and out.

The winter nights in the north are long and cold. The water that has just been boiled becomes icy in a short while, and a thin layer of sparkling ice is condensed inside and outside the car.

But this did not dispel people's enthusiasm for work. They washed the car body again and again to prevent nuclear dust from sticking to it.

Fortunately, Shi Jian took some preventive measures before departure. The seat floor of the bus and the material surface of the truck were all covered with plastic sheets in advance.

All the coverings were gathered together and left far away in the wilderness.Under the current circumstances, no one cares about environmental protection anymore.

After the cleanup was complete, the vehicle was slowly driven into the campfire, which melted the ice on the outside.The original contamination on the car body, together with the washing water, flowed to the ground and turned into ice.

After the car was cleaned up, Shi Jian asked everyone to change out all the raincoats and other protective clothing on their bodies, and replaced them with warmer winter clothes without any contamination.

After everything has been done, the sky has turned white, and it seems to be another sunny day.

The Chang'an motorcade moved forward again, far away from this polluted land, and they wanted to find a place where they could continue to survive.

"We have finally escaped from the nuclear radiation zone, and we no longer have to worry about dying inexplicably." Shi Jian looked at the morning light in the east, and sighed softly.

Feng Kuang also said softly: "It's winter now, and the northwest wind is blowing. Basically, there is no need to worry about nuclear dust drifting over again."

"Well, where do you think we are going next? Vladivostok, or Sakhalin Island?" Shi Jian asked softly.

"What do you think?"

Shi Jian turned his head and glanced at his sleeping wife and children and Xia Rou, lowered his voice again, and said, "I want to visit Vladivostok."

"For the regret in my heart?"

"Not exactly. It's not yet December, and Vladivostok should not be frozen. If we can find a boat, we can go to Hokkaido. The people there should welcome us." Shi Jian's tone was a little uncertain.

"How can there be a boat now? Over 50 years ago, the sea has already corroded the boat." Feng Kuang poured a basin of cold water on Shi Jian.

Shi Jian was silent for a while, then said: "Maybe there will be ships in the shipyard that haven't launched into the sea, and maybe there are still boats that can be sailed. I don't want everyone to wander like this anymore."

"I can't drive if I find you, and I don't know the hydrology. After all, the sea is not as safe as the land." Feng Kuang hit Shi Jian again.

Shi Jian was completely silent. He didn't know why he was so obsessed with Vladivostok, maybe it was just the deep regret in his heart.

Seeing that Shi Jian stopped talking, Feng Kuang comforted him: "Let's go to Sakhalin Island, where it is easier to go to Hokkaido. Soya Strait is only more than 40 kilometers away, and Yu also swam across it."

Shi Jian nodded and said, "You are right, go to Sakhalin Island, that is also our territory."

"You, you just can't let go of the obsession in your heart," Feng Kuang said with a smile, "You don't even think about it. From now on, the whole earth must belong to the people of the Celestial Dynasty. Why do you have to get it back now?"

Shi Jian also laughed: "Anyway, we have to go to Vladivostok first."

Feng Kuang quickly understood what Shi Jian meant, and said, "Yes, we must go to Vladivostok first, who will make it the closest."

Shi Jian's desire to go to Vladivostok now is not out of regret in his heart, as Feng Kuang said, in the future the earth must belong to the people of the Celestial Dynasty, so there is no regret.

He wanted to go to Vladivostok for only one purpose, and that was to find a map there that could guide them all the way to Sakhalin Island.

The map in Shi Jian's hand is only an aerial map that can be used as a guide, but he doesn't know where he is, so he can only judge the approximate location based on the method taught by Chen Qiong.

Fortunately, they were walking on the road all the way, and they didn't deviate from the direction. After driving for half an hour, they saw the building appearing on the horizon from a distance.

Shi Jian asked Meizi to stop the car and took a closer look with the binoculars, only to find that the place was so dilapidated.

"Why is Vladivostok so dilapidated that you can't even see a tall building?" Shi Jian wondered inwardly.

Indeed, Vladivostok doesn't even have a tall building, and all the low-rise buildings are in sight, and those buildings are incomplete, as if they were subjected to air raids.

Thinking of this, Shi Jian was startled, and said to Feng Kuang, "Didn't they blow up this too?"

Feng Kuang took the telescope and looked at it for a while, and said with certainty: "It's not a nuclear attack, otherwise there would be so many buildings that would have been razed to the ground long ago. Besides, they don't want to live anymore. With a distance of [-] kilometers, they would use nuclear bombs. Can't run."

Only then did Shi Jian feel relieved. Since it wasn't a nuclear attack, everything would be fine. He absolutely didn't want to just escape from the radiation zone and plunge into another radiation zone.

The morning sun rose slowly, and the convoy came to the dilapidated old district - Vladivostok in the morning glory.

Standing on top of the ruins, Shi Jian looked at the ruins, and suddenly a thought came to his mind. He said to Feng Kuang beside him: "When I was not abroad, I saw those old districts, and I felt that the end of the world is really scary. Only when we got here did we realize that this is the real end of the world.”

Feng Kuang smiled wryly, and said: "Who says it's not, what a crime must have been committed here, to be blown up like this."

Vladivostok, the pearl of the Far East, does not have the brilliance of a pearl now.Even the villages bombed by Shi Jian are far inferior to this place.

Not a single building was intact, not a single street was passable, and ammunition craters left by the explosion were everywhere.

Who did this?
For Shi Jian, this question is no longer important. Even if he closes his eyes and guesses, he can imagine it, and there is no need to ask it.And the reason is probably very simple, who made there so many zombies here?

What Shi Jian was concerned about was whether they could find the map in such a ruin.
There was no sound of any zombies in the ruins, and there was no smell of that stench. It seemed that there should be no zombies.

The members of the combat team dispersed in groups of several and began to search the ruins, hoping to find even a map showing the Far East in those slightly complete rooms.

At the end of the whole day, the search team found nothing. They dragged their tired bodies back to the convoy. After a simple meal, they entered the temporary tent to rest. They will continue to search tomorrow.

Although the latitude of Vladivostok is relatively high, due to the influence of the warm ocean current, the temperature is not too high. Compared with inland cities at the same latitude, it is much warmer, and even at night it just reaches zero.

In order to prevent night attacks by zombies, Shi Jian specially arranged for the reserve team to be on duty at night.

However, the night was very peaceful. Apart from the occasional roar of two wild beasts in the wilderness, and the sound of waves beating against the rocks, it was so peaceful that no one could believe that they were resting near the old district.

For the next week, Vladivostok was searched every day, but nothing was found every night.

When people returned empty-handed from the last area, Shi Jian's only hope was finally shattered.

The air raid in Vladivostok should have happened before the end of the world. After more than 50 years of wind and rain, coupled with the erosion of seaside air, even a piece of paper could not be preserved. People have to feel the power of time.

"Boss Shi, what should we do?" Feng Chen asked in a low voice.

Shi Jian turned his resolute gaze to the north, and said proudly: "Without a map, we will find our own way. If there is no way, we will find a way!"

　It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket!Recommendation tickets are also required!
