Chapter 108: Another Group of Humans?
[09:42 AM — 1 mile from Longwan University]
We moved from block to block. Every thirty minutes, I let them scavenge. Always in pairs. Never linger. No more than five minutes per stop.
They pulled out:
A roll of copper wire.
Canned food past expiry, but still intact.
A dented water filter system from an apartment supply shop.
Tools — screwdrivers, multi-tools, hammer heads.
A set of work gloves from a hardware bin.
A sealed canister of propane.
Liang Qiu found a wristwatch that still ticked. She wore it like a trophy.
Chen Xun found a working radio with a broken antenna, but Zhou could probably rewire it. The reason I gave him a pat on the back was that if there were any army support or government movements, we’d need something like this.
