Steve wrote down his whereabouts on a piece of paper and placed it prominently in the living room.
Locking the doors and windows, the two men clanged down the old staircase, the greasy walls of the old apartment building could even reflect the reflection of people, and they slipped out onto the road, where the manhole cover was still steaming out on the side of the road in the early morning.
The homeless people like to sleep on it, which keeps them at least from freezing to death on winter nights, but this year is different, and the cold comes from the heart.
The two skinny figures were wrapped in ill-fitting cotton clothes, the cold wind made them all shiver, and some blackened blood stains could be faintly seen on the streets, which were left by the jumping rush last month.
They walked briskly around the bloodstained location, as if the corpse was still there.
"How do we get there?"
Steve looked at the deserted street, and although he didn't know what the Great Depression meant, he understood the general meaning just by looking at the eerily quiet street.
"Take the subway, that's cheap."
With that, Bucky pulled him towards the street, the nearest subway station was still some distance away, and they had to cross a block.
Steve wrapped his clothes tightly, and he pinched the corners of his clothes.
"But I don't have any money."
"Where's your pocket money?"
Bucky didn't stop and continued to pull him along.
"It was handed over to my father last month, and the family has to buy food."
Although the pocket money is only a little bit, it should not be wasted.
"I know, but it's okay, today's travel fee is mine."
Bucky smiled and patted his chest and skipped over a puddle of sewage, "After all, I insisted on pulling you out." ” The two of them are going to work to make money, not to play, Bucky can go by himself, but he has to bear Steve's travel expenses alone, which makes Steve very embarrassed.
"Bucky" "Alright, don't be like a girl, we're good friends."
Bucky made a disgusted expression, he was most afraid of Steve looking at him affectionately, the more moved his tone was, the more cold he felt: "Besides, we will earn more today, if we can exchange a few cents for a bunch of food, we are all big winners." ” The empty streets are no longer bustling with the past, and the footsteps of the two echo on the road, looking like a ghost town.
The usual beautiful cars are gone, and now only the occasional people wander the streets like the walking dead, and no one even looks at them as if they don't exist.
But Steve and Bucky are used to it these days, and these people have all been like this after that stock market crash.
He discussed it with Bucky, and then agreed that the stock market crash should be a serious disease that can make people fools.
The two celebrated that their families had not become fools, and then continued to sell newspapers, but the business was predictable.
Bypassing the living corpses, they burrowed into the subway station, which was much warmer, and there were more people than on the road, except that they were all half-dead, lying or sitting on the ground.
They looked at the two children numbly, and soon looked away and continued to be in a daze.
Bucky leaned into Steve's ear and whispered, "If we earn food, we won't be able to take the subway when we come back, these people will even eat us." ” Steve looked around and walked briskly forward, Bucky's words he thought were true, the eyes of these people were terrifying.
Finally, surrounded by strange eyes, Bucky and Steve waited for the subway, and they quickly hid, and they could feel their hearts pounding.
"Oh God."
Bucky crossed his chest and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "These people seem to be weirder than before, as if" "Like dead people, right, but the dead who intend to eat us."
Steve pressed his heart and said what Bucky wanted to say.
Those people seemed to have no human feelings at all, only appetite and darkness in their empty eyes.
Bucky patted Steve on the shoulder, and the two of them found a place to sit in the empty compartment, the cold seat giving them a little more security.
"You're right, damn it, we shouldn't have gone out today."
"It's okay, it's safe during the day."
Steve calmed down, he knew that no matter how crazy these people were, they wouldn't do anything to passers-by during the day.
Before dark, the two of them could have taken the tram home on the ground, but for a few cents more.
"Hopefully I'll have better luck today."
Bucky nodded, he pursed his lips hard, he had a habit of doing that when he was nervous.
In the dark tunnel, there was only the faint light in the subway, and the hearts of the two of them were up and down.
Normally, when there were many people, they didn't feel it, but now the emptiness brings fear to them.
Here, it was too quiet, and the dead silence made the two of them stand on end.
The interior of the carriage has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is full of garbage and stains, like a port that has been hit by a typhoon.
The entire subway train is estimated to be the only living person, which makes them feel worse, and all they can hear is the sound of each other's breathing and the sound of wheels colliding with the rails outside the window.
"Shall we go to the front car?
Talk to Mr.

Driver?
After a moment of silence, Bucky suggested to Steve.
"No, don't disturb other people's work, it's just us here, it's actually quite safe."
Steve rejected the offer, at least they had no problem with the car.
Fortunately, he refused, if the two of them went to the front of the car, and then saw that Mr.
Driver was also driving the subway numbly, a living corpse, it is estimated that they would be scared to death.
"The city has become like a cemetery, I went to the cemetery once and came home and got sick."
Bucky then told Steve that the topic didn't help them in their current situation, and that he just didn't have anything to say.
Steve squeezed out a smile and pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Bucky, a very poorly packaged fruit hard candy.
"My mom gave me this when she went out, you can eat it, sweet things will make you feel a lot better."
Bucky took the candy and held it on the armrest of the hand, the inferior candy immediately turned in half, and he spread his hand and tore open the wrapper.
"We're half a person."
Steve smiled and picked up half of Bucky's hand, "That's fine." ” In the era when there was no concept of zombies, the two experienced the fear of Resident Evil through brain supplementation, and I have to say that this experience of going out greatly increased their courage.
As long as they are by each other's side, encouraging and supporting each other, then there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
At least for now, Steve, who hasn't yet become Captain America, and Bucky, who isn't yet the Winter Soldier, think so.
