When he woke up, he was woken up by the cold.
The blanket he brought was a little thin, and it smelled like it had been stored in a warehouse for a long time. The smell wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't pleasant.
Through the small window, he could see the bright moonlight outside. The moonlight made the room not completely dark. Gao Qi reached for the flashlight beside the pillow, but he didn't turn it on. He just sat on the bed, wrapped in the blanket, and didn't move.
He didn't dream, he didn't see any light spots. Nothing happened. He just had a good sleep.
But the fact that nothing happened was the most painful.
Before being beaten by society, most people were unwilling to be ordinary. Everyone wanted to stand out until they were forced to accept reality and admit that they were social animals.
But Gao Qi was different. He was one of the few people who knew his place. He knew that he was just a hipster, so he didn't wait to be beaten by society and calmly accepted the result of being eliminated.
Was it unfair? It was actually quite fair. Since you couldn't adapt to this era, you could only be eliminated.
But the problem was that Gao Qi started to think that he was extraordinary. He didn't think that he was extraordinary, but he really realized that he was extraordinary. So something called ambition started to grow in his heart.
Gao Qi didn't want to change the world. He only wanted to change his own destiny.
Originally, the school in the outer city had a fixed daily food quota. He didn't have to worry about exotic beasts or Desolate Dwellers. Although it was plain, he was content.
But after being brought to the Octagon Restaurant by Huang Fei, Gao Qi's mentality changed.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Huang Fei's method was an open conspiracy because he started from human nature.
Gao Qi also wanted to live in the inner city. He wanted to eat whatever he wanted. There was no quota. He could wear whatever he wanted, not the school uniform.
This was Gao Qi's current dream and also his ambition. But he had to understand that in this wasteland world, this wasn't a small ambition.
With a sigh, Gao Qi lifted the blanket and turned on the flashlight.
There was no electricity in the farm outside the city, so the only source of light at night was a gas lamp. Gao Qi skillfully struck a match and lit the gas lamp. This was a skill he had been familiar with since he was a child.
The things he brought were still piled up on the ground, and Gao Qi didn't even know what he had now. Because leaving the city was too sudden, he didn't even have time to check.
It was a brand new 191 Precision Marksman Rifle. It came with six magazines and a white light scope. Huang Fei gave it to him. It was definitely a rare item. The rifle was not rare, but the scope was rare.
The rifle was extravagantly equipped with a full box of 1,500 DBP-191 bullets instead of the more common DBP-95 or DBP-10 bullets. Although they were both 5.8mm caliber and could be used, the DBP-191 bullets were indeed better.
It was a 9mm 9mm pistol with three magazines and a box full of bullets.
It was very extravagant to give so many bullets to Gao Qi alone. He Jun specifically gave it to him for practice after he couldn't receive training. He Jun clearly said that it was Huang Fei's idea. As for why, Gao Qi didn't know.
The other thing was the bullets used in the shotgun. There weren't many of them, only about a hundred. The red plastic shells were shotguns, the green plastic shells were single-shot bullets, and there were ten ceramic bullets with white plastic shells. However, ceramic bullets had very few uses, so ten were enough.
Other than the most important weapons and ammunition, the rest were clothes, shoes, and socks. There were two camouflage combat uniforms, two summer casual clothes, and one winter cotton shirt and pants. There were also two packs of underwear and socks, two pairs of rubber shoes, and a pair of mid-top boots. These were all stored goods. When he took them out, it smelled like a warehouse.
However, other than these stored goods, there was also a pair of leather shoes and a uniform without the logo of the Danger Control Department. This was specially given by Huang Fei. It had no other use except to show off his identity outside the city.
There was also a very important small item, an electronic watch.
Looking at the time, it was two o 'clock in the morning. Obviously, without the watch, Gao Qi wouldn't even know the time.
Huang Fei was very generous, or rather, a good boss. He knew to fight for as many benefits as possible for his subordinates.
In the plastic box, there was a pack of gun cleaning tools, a can of gun oil, and a first aid kit. The rest were some compressed biscuits and other food, as well as daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and other daily necessities. These things were stacked neatly. The space was well used. After the box was spread out, it took up a lot of space.
For the first time in his life, Gao Qi had so many personal items. This made him really happy.
After putting the clothes in the wardrobe and sorting out the items, Gao Qi put on a camouflage uniform and a starry sky camouflage cotton coat. His whole body exuded the smell of a warehouse. He took the gas lamp and went outside.
Rifle, pistol, short range shotgun, scope, magazine. After putting all these on the table, Gao Qi sat on the chair and began to stare blankly.
Putting aside his ability, this gun was the most important tool outside the city. Yes, at this point, the gun was not only a weapon, but also an indispensable tool in daily life. Therefore, the first thing to do was to clean the gun.
The pistol and rifle were new. It felt slippery to the touch. This was because it was covered in gun oil. Therefore, it couldn't be removed by boiling it. It had to be carefully cleaned with the gun oil.
But the problem was that Gao Qi didn't know how to remove the gun. He didn't know at all.
He thought that he had awakened, but he didn't have an ability. He knew that he did have a talent for shooting, but sharpshooters were fed with bullets. He had only fired 22 bullets. No matter what, he couldn't be called a sharpshooter.
The arrogant Gao Qi encountered a small setback. He needed to start learning from the most basic things. No matter what it was, he had to learn it. He even had to learn how to go to the toilet outside the city.
When Gao Qi was in school, no matter how bad the conditions were, at least there was electricity, running water, and a flush toilet. But here, in this farm outside the city, he didn't even know where the toilet was.
He shouldn't be in a hurry to sleep. At least, he should first understand the environment of this farm.
New guns can't be used without cleaning. Gao Qi sighed. He stood up and inserted the shotgun into his belt. He moved to find the most comfortable position to release the gun. Then, he loaded a few rounds into his pocket.
Holding the flashlight, Gao Qi took a deep breath. Then, he had to muster up his courage before he pulled the latch of the iron door and opened it.
Cold air rushed in. Gao Qi took a deep breath, lit the flashlight, and walked out of the door.
Gao Qi walked into the yard. He could hear the strange cries of unknown birds. On this hot late summer night, the birds were shivering from the cold wind.
"Is it Captain Gao?"
The sudden voice startled Gao Qi. He turned to look for the source of the voice. Then, he heard someone above him say, "I'm here. What do you want?"
Gao Qi swung the flashlight around. He saw Wang Zihao on the roof of his house.
"Wang Chang, erm, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'm on night duty."
"Oh, oh, erm … Wang Chang, where is the toilet?"
"The small one is fine. Where is the big one?"
Wang Zihao also lit up the flashlight. Looking in the direction of Wang Zihao's flashlight, Gao Qi saw a small shed. He thanked Wang Zihao and hurried toward the shed. But when he got close to the shed, a strong stench made him slow down.
Gao Qi thought about it and gave up on the idea of urinating anywhere. After going to the toilet, he went back to Wang Zihao's house. Embarrassed, he asked, "Wang Chang, the water pipe … erm, where is the water?"
Wang Zihao was silent for a while. Just as Gao Qi started to feel uneasy, Wang Zihao finally said, "I have water in my house. You can go wash your hands."
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment and gave up on the idea of washing his hands. He felt that it was time to adapt to his new life.
"Wang Chang, do you know how to dismantle a gun?"
Wang Zihao was silent for a long time. Finally, he said, "Yes."
"Then can you … erm, forget it. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes, wait a minute. I'll get someone to stand guard for me."
This was a farm, not the City Guard's barracks, so Wang Zihao was not so rigid. He walked down from the roof and came out of his house. He shouted, "Ding Jiaze, go stand guard. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, I hear you."
After hearing someone agree, Wang Zihao said to Gao Qi, "Okay, let's go."
"Wang Chang, do you need someone to stand guard every day? What are you guarding against? Exotic beasts or barren people? "
"Barren people. Today's temperature suddenly dropped. Those barren people might cause trouble."
Wang Zihao answered every question Gao Qi asked, but he never took the initiative to talk about anything.
After entering the house, Gao Qi pointed at the gun on the table and said embarrassedly, "Wang Chang, can you dismantle this gun?"
Wang Zihao looked at the gun on the table and then turned to Gao Qi. His eyes were complicated. Finally, he just nodded and said, "I can dismantle it. It's a good gun."
Wang Zihao sat at the table. Gao Qi quickly handed him a cloth to wipe the gun, but Wang Zihao shook his head and said, "Get rid of the oil first. Do you have a cloth?"
Gao Qi thought for a while. Then he took a patient's gown from the hospital to Wang Zihao and said, "Is this okay?"
"Okay."
After picking up the gun and wrapping it in Gao Qi's gown, Wang Zihao suddenly said, "You're the deputy captain of the No.7 Farm's guards, but you …"
The deputy captain of the guards didn't even know how to clean a gun. This was a bit too much.
Gao Qi whispered, "I was supposed to go to the training camp for a month, but I had to come out early because of the energy explosion."
Wang Zihao was a little surprised and said, "Energy explosion?"
Gao Qi thought that everyone knew about the energy fluctuations, but now he suddenly understood. There might be alarms and detectors in the city, but the people outside the city didn't even know about the energy fluctuations.
Gao Qi didn't know how to answer, but Wang Zihao was only surprised for a moment. He lowered his head and began to dismantle the guns. After putting the parts aside, he sprayed oil on the gun and started to clean it.
At this time, Gao Qi said, "Why don't I do it myself? You can just tell me what to do. I think it's better to do it myself."
Wang Zihao looked up at Gao Qi. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "It's better to do it yourself."
