Chapter 1487: Surviving the Doomsday 22
The mat was taken out and placed on the floor. Casey did not watch TV today, but lay down to sleep.
He took her with him everywhere. The pregnant woman struggled all night and day, and naturally she didn't sleep well either.
Xining wanted to lie down and sleep immediately, but had to ask: "Where did you get those things?"
Jack replied: "I went to the medical room here to get it."
She frowned: "Is that stingy guy willing to give it?"
"Of course I refused, but I didn't ask for his opinion." Jack stuffed a piece of gum into his mouth and chewed: "You don't have to ask for the dead man's consent."
Seeing her look over in surprise, Jack chewed gum and leaned against the wall, calmly saying: "I didn't do it."
"You..." I was speechless for a moment. I couldn't blame anything. If the lives of his wife and children were hanging by a thread, any man would take the risk.
After choking for a long time, he took a deep breath: "I'll come over and check."
"We will come over to check. We have already notified them." Jack's words contained a lot of information: "It was because he accidentally dropped a small bottle of glycerin on the ground, slipped and hit his forehead on the corner of the table, causing death. The surveillance there has long been It's broken, or it was deliberately broken in order to steal some medicines to pay back the money. If you take inventory, you will find that many things are missing. If you investigate again, you will find that they were all stolen by this guy. Change to food.”
The corner of Jack's mouth curled up: "If this guy knew this, I wonder if he would break the surveillance probe."
Xining listened and raised his eyebrows. She did a good job, no wonder the pregnant woman’s husband treated her so well and stuffed her with a piece of chocolate. Feelings were like employment fees, and Jack was hired to kill people and get things.
She felt relieved now, but before she lay down to rest, Jack spoke: "I still want to join the army."
Xining was a little annoyed, finally breaking the deadlock of the past two days and making trouble again.
"You think I don't want our life to be better, maybe you can climb up in the army?" She really didn't want to explain more, she just wanted to punch him and end the conversation. She was almost exhausted: "It's fine, why?" Want to recruit so many people at once? On the eve of a war, we will wait a few more days!
"How long do we have to wait?" Jack asked.
"Wait until I feel okay." After saying that, Xining lay down angrily, pulled the quilt, and slept with Casey.
Because she was so tired, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said and everything that needs to be done has been done. If Jack insists on joining the army, there is nothing she can do. After all, he is not his husband. Even if he is, his feet are grown on someone else's body.
Cigarettes are indeed a good thing, and someone came to inquire about the price.
Xining directly offered the "sky-high price" for a piece of chocolate or a loaf of bread.
After bargaining failed, someone agreed to exchange.
They handed over the bread and took a cigarette. Without lighting it, they put it under their noses and inhaled deeply.
Some people actually bought it together. After buying it, they lit it up and each person took turns taking a puff. Everyone wanted to exhale all the air in their lungs and smoke all the cigarettes in one breath.
Some people gathered around and took deep breaths.
Since when did secondhand smoke become a luxury?
With this time, Xi Ning asked them to smoke in the corridor outside after buying. She didn't want to take advantage of second-hand smoke with Kathy.
One night, gunshots suddenly came from a distance, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"What's going on?" Everyone was woken up.
Someone shouted: "It's the military area, that's where the shooting is happening."
The gunshots were so intense that they seemed like machine guns were being fired. With a "Boom~" sound, a huge explosion could be heard even three doors away from the safety door. The ground was shaken and trembled, and the gray haxaul on the ceiling fell down.
Xining got up immediately: "Jack, you can't sleep on the bed anymore, go and spread the mattress."
Although the bunk beds are fixed to the ground, they will not fall over even if there is such a collision between celestial bodies. But there is no guarantee that the person lying on it will not be knocked down.
The three of them were lying on the mat, and the pillows and bedding were all pulled off the bed and placed on the mat. People around him also did the same.
Lying on the ground, you can feel the vibrations and learn how fierce the battle there is.
From time to time someone asked in horror: "What's going on?"
No one knew what was going on, but soon there was a cry: "My husband is still there..."
Suddenly more people became worried, including those whose family members had joined the army.
After joining the army, they live directly in the military area. They must reach company level or above before they can take their families to live there. You can come back during the break. At that time, everyone was wearing soldiers' uniforms and holding the food that had just been handed out in their hands. That was at least half a month's worth of food. For this the whole family was happy and beaming with joy.
There was another loud "Boom~" sound, which scared Casey and hid in her arms, not daring to put her head out of the quilt.
Xining felt Jack behind him stretch out his arms and hold her in his arms.
It was the first time we were so close, but there was no romance or excitement at this time. There were gunshots not far away, and there were explosions from time to time.
Xining comforted Casey in his arms: "Don't be afraid, baby, this place can withstand a heavy impact like a comet. Not to mention a few grenades, even a rocket launcher can't blow it up."
Sure enough, on the eve of the war, he will recruit a strong man. If she hadn't stopped him, he might have been in a hail of bullets. Bullets have no eyes, who knows if he can save his life in such a war... Jack hugged his "wife" tighter.
This sound rang for almost the whole night.
Suddenly all the lights in the air raid shelter came on, as if it were daytime. The electronic clock on the wall showed a little before five in the morning.
With a roar, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed in from outside the door, pointing their guns at everyone they could see, and yelled: "Stay where you are, don't move!"
It looked so scary that some people were so frightened that they even used their hands to protect their heads.
One person raised his hands and tried to stand up.
"What are you doing?" The soldier's gun was immediately pointed at him.
The white-haired old man asked tremblingly: "What happened? My son has just joined the army and is in the military area. I just want to know if he is okay."
"Get down right now, do you hear me?" the soldier pointed his gun and shouted. Obviously he doesn't care whether the other party is a member of the military.
The old man immediately lay down on the spot and cried silently. This is not a place for willfulness. Those giant babies who were once arrogant have either changed or have been eliminated. If you don’t want to die, you should learn to assess the situation.
In each air-raid shelter, there were soldiers holding gun handles.
Xining held Kathy while she was hugged tightly by Jack. The three of them lay on the floor mats, wrapped in quilts, and waited quietly. Like everyone else, they waited quietly. Although the lights were on at this time, as if it were daytime, no one spoke. Even if a child cried, an adult would cover his mouth with his hands.
Finally a voice came over the radio.
