Although the lack of food was a big problem, Ding Chen didn't have too much trouble because of this matter, after all, with his current identity and status, it was not his turn to worry about the stomachs of all the people in the apartment.The work on overhauling the power cart lasted a day and a half.The third day of Ding Chen's return to the apartment was the Mid-Autumn Festival in the traditional sense, and it was also an important day to mix overtime pay in the past.So here in the apartment you can see happy people coming and going early in the morning.This is the first festival that Ding Chen has officially spent when he wakes up from the evacuation cabin, so he is actually very excited.Ding Chen traveled all the way from the desert and met several very powerful scavengers.For these people, the sinister illusion of survival has never been a problem, and there is only one reason that really threatens their body and mind, and that is loneliness.He even witnessed a man who was crazy because of his loneliness shot himself.That's why he didn't want to leave when he arrived at the apartment, and he wasn't alone here.Ding Chen went to the old city early in the morning with the batteries and maintenance tools prepared in advance to help Xu Shuidong build a model community in the plan, which can be regarded as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the apartment to the old city.Xu Shuidong also has engineer qualifications, and he did not wait for Ding Chen to come over for construction.In fact, in Ding Chen's opinion, Xu Shuidong's preparations in advance were very good, and he even completed the basic wiring work.Ding Chen was noncommittal about Xu Shuidong's wiring style, but he was very interested in the wires he got.While hanging the street lamp head that Xu Shuidong got on the wall, he asked Xu Shuidong about the source of these wires."
There are a lot of materials left over from the past in the ruins of the old city.""
We have been systematically exploring the area of the old city and recovering supplies, and those bullet casings for reloading were found in the rubble," Xu explained. ”Speaking of this, he said to Ding Chen: "I have already sent someone to collect bullet casings on the other side of the road. ”Ding Chen snorted, when Ye Tianlong and Captain Fan fought, they left a lot of bullet casings, and if they were recovered, they could solve some of the bullets of the iron tube gun.You must know that these iron tube guns use 7.62 mm intermediate-caliber ammunition, if you don't want to find a way, you have to buy bullets from Ye Tianlong.However, Ding Chen was not optimistic about this task, on the one hand, the battlefield was very long at that time, and the bullet casings were not concentrated, and on the other hand, not all bullet casings could be recycled and reused.However, he did not express his opinion on the matter of the bullet casing, but asked Xu Shuidong: "Can I participate" "What" Xu Shuidong was still thinking about the bullet, a little unable to keep up with Ding Chen's thinking, and asked blankly: "What to participate in" "Explore the old city." ”Ding Chen stopped what he was doing, looked at Xu Shuidong and said, "I also want to see what I can find." ”Xu Shuidong glanced at him meaningfully and asked, "There is something I haven't asked, you were really a scavenger in the past" "What's wrong" Ding Chen asked rhetorically: "This is true." ”He said, "It's not a short walk from where I started, and I need supplies in between, so scavenging is a great way to get tradable items." ”Xu Shuidong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as you don't lag behind, I welcome you to participate in the exploration plan." ”Ding Chen laughed.He connected the wire of the electric light in his hand, and then motioned Xu Shuidong to turn on the switch on the wall, and the two of them looked at the light that turned on, looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that they were in a good mood.Xu Shuidong casually turned off the lights and said to Ding Chen: "I have seen scavengers in the old city, and they are usually reluctant to deal with strangers. ”Obviously, this is why he wondered if Ding Chen was a scavenger."
I may be an exception."
Ding Chen said: "No one has ever been born a waste picker, and their personality should be related to the reason for becoming a waste picker. ”"And you only left because all the people in the gathering place are dead."
Xu Shuidong said: "This is the reason why you are willing to trust others, you have not experienced betrayal. ”Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, jumped down from the ladder, and smiled at Xu Shuidong: "I don't seem to be willing to trust others." ”"No" Xu Shuidong laughed, he looked at Ding Chen and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't run to the territory of my rival alone." ”Ding Chen suddenly realized this, and smiled at Xu Shuidong: "If you don't say it, I forgot." ”He said: "You were also Ye Dai's suitor. ”He looked at Xu Shuidong carefully, "So you won't let me disappear" Xu Shuidong smiled and shook his head, "It's okay for her to be with you." ”Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to say, you don't seem to care that women are stronger than yourself" Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and said: "This is the reason why you gave up Ye Dai" "We are all natural leaders. ”Xu Shuidong said: "So if we are together, the first thing to solve is who leads whom. ”He spread his hands, "She is twenty-four years old this year, whether it is in the apartment or in me, a woman who is over twenty years old and has not yet married will be forced to find a man, but you see who dares to point fingers at her" Speaking of this, he raised his right hand, hesitated, and gently patted Ding Chen's shoulder, "Trust me, you have solved a problem for Dad." ”Ding Chen thought about it and felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable, "The problem you said doesn't just mean that she can't get married?"
"Dad used to be my master's most loyal assistant. ”Xu Shuidong said: "When my master was alive, he hoped that I would inherit the old city and Dai'er would inherit the apartment, and then let the two of us get married and combine the old city and the apartment." ”He smiled wryly, "Now that my master is dead, and Daile can't marry me, I guess Daddy still wants to give her the apartment." ”He looked at Ding Chen, "Now you understand" "Of course." ”Ding Chen said: "People will not want to trust a leader who is different. ”Ding Chen said: "At least procedurally gregarious. ”"That's it."
Xu Shuidong said: "Are you ready to get married?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. ”Ding Chen smiled: "If you get married, you will become my eldest brother." ”"That's going to have to be admitted."
Xu Shuidong said: "Then it depends on how you do." ”"She can only admit that you are her senior brother."
Ding Chen said: "Uncle can only be admitted by me. ”Xu Shuidong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "You're right, then it's decided." ”Ding Chen smiled, re-checked the results of today's work, and confirmed that the battery pack and several sets of lights were working normally, then he stretched out his right hand to Xu Shuidong and shook it, "Finished, celebrate." ”Xu Shuidong was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Ding Chen wanted to do.So he also raised his hand and clapped his hands with Ding Chen, and said, "Is this your habit of living in that place before?"
”Ding Chen said while packing up his tools: "It's actually a little more complicated than this" "I'm curious. ”Xu Shuidong said: "I really hope to have the opportunity to go and see. ”Ding Chen sighed, a look of longing on his face.He shook his head and said, "No way." ”Of course, Xu Shuidong didn't know that what Ding Chen said was impossible, referring to the orbital space station, and he asked curiously: "Why is it impossible even if no one is there."
Traces of your past lives will remain. ”"It's a desert."
Ding Chen said: "Wind and sand will destroy everything. ”Xu Shuidong, like most of the people here, had never left his birthplace, and naturally had never seen the desert, and was about to ask a few more questions, when he suddenly saw a sentry hurriedly run in and reported loudly: "Two cars are coming outside." ”"It's not a carriage," he said, "it's an automatic cart with a lot of guns on it. ”Ding Chen and Xu Shuidong glanced at each other, Ding Chen thought angrily, "It's endless, can you still let people live a good life" aa2705221,,; mobile phone reading,
