Chapter 125: Rare Happy Times

After everyone finished dinner, it was past seven o'clock. The moon was still the same moon, the night was still the same night, but the human world was no longer the same world.

The silent village occasionally rang out with a beast-like howl, without warning, just like the unyielding cries of the deceased.

At the entrance of Shuwa Village, the person sitting on watch at the fertilizer store changed from Chen Hanzhou to Yu Wen.

Ending a thrilling and rushing day, everyone gathered in the Mercedes VS RV. Some sat on the sofa, some sat cross-legged on the carpet, and in front of Zhang Su was a laptop connected to the RV's TV.

"Damn, Wu Lue, what kind of movies are on this broken computer of yours? Either men and women, or women and women, and there are even men who became women, women who became men, what is all this? Can't you have something decent?"

Zhang Su fiddled with the mouse. He hadn't sniped for half a month, which was quite nostalgic. Everyone was waiting for him to choose a movie, but there was almost no film in Wu Lue's computer suitable for public viewing...

"There is, there is, Brother Su, you look in the F drive, the G drive is all that stuff, hehe..."

Wu Lue scratched his head bashfully.

"F drive... got it, this one, how about Train to Busan, everyone?" Zhang Su pointed at the face of Gong Yoo turning into a zombie on the screen and looked back at everyone.

"Are you kidding me, Brother Su!"

"Don't watch, don't watch!"

"Holy cow, Brother Su, you're crazy."

"Is it that you think the zombies we encounter aren't majestic enough? Brother Su, you're truly my brother!"

It was very rare that Zhang Su's proposal was unanimously opposed. Reality was already shitty enough; no one wanted to continue suffering during their rare leisure time.

"A bunch of fools, this used to be a sci-fi movie, now it's a science education movie, and none of you want to watch it? Then I'll look again, don't rush, don't rush..." Zhang Su continued to look through the folders, his face lit up: "Heh, there's also this one, Tom and Jerry, how about that?"

"This is good!"

"Wow, I like it!"

"Tom and Jerry, yes, yes, just this one!"

The classic funny cartoon was unanimously sought after by everyone.

"Alright, here it comes!"

Soon, the cartoon started playing, and the classic images jumped onto the screen. Everyone was like returning to childhood, watching with great interest, and temporarily forgetting all the pain and desolation in the laughter.

At this moment, everyone needed some laughter to dilute the pessimism about the future in their hearts.

If you can live, you have to strive for the better. Since there is no shortage of food and drink for the time being, naturally, they began to pursue spiritual civilization.

Primitive people thousands of years ago were unclothed and hungry, chased by wild beasts every day, and would still take stones to chisel murals on the walls for fun, which shows that humans are different from other animals, but "Good Luck" is different.

Lucky squatted beside Zhang Su, grinning while watching TV, its tail wagging, probably understanding what was being played on the screen.

Zheng Xin was laughing her head off watching Tom being teased by Jerry when someone sat down beside her. Turning her head, it was Pei Lan, whose arm was in a sling.

"Sister Xinyu, can the bathroom on this car be used?"

Pei Lan leaned into Zheng Xin's ear and asked in a low voice.

Zheng Xin followed Pei Lan's gaze to the bathroom next to the corridor and sighed: "The facilities in the bathroom are all good, but there is no water. Don't mention it, I haven't taken a bath since the disaster broke out..."

Pei Lan said distressingly: "I'm even more miserable than you. When the disaster broke out, I was on the third day of my period, and I hadn't taken a bath for three or four days then. Now I feel like my flesh has been pickled and marinated. Can we find a way to get some water?"

"Where is there water? Did you see the situation in the river today? Who dares to use that water... unless we find a reliable water source. Don't you dare have any ideas about drinking water, Brother Su will explode!"

Zheng Xin herself had thought about using drinking water to wash, but she had secretly mentioned it to Zhang Su and was severely criticized, so she gave Pei Lan a preventive shot in advance.

"Actually... it doesn't take much water for me to take a bath. When I was in school, I tried it, and the least I needed was thirty liters..."

Pei Lan whispered about her experience. The school bathhouse charged by water usage, thirty-six per ton, three point six per liter. The least she used was a little over one yuan.

"I advise you to dispel this thought as soon as possible..." Zhong Xiaoshan, who was on the side, responded and continued: "Thirty liters is enough for one person to drink for half a month, or for everyone to drink for a day and still have some left. If you dare to use it to take a bath, no one can protect you!"

She understood Zhang Su. Survival is the top priority; this is an unwritten iron law within the team. Anyone who dares to break the rules will definitely not have a good end.

"I know, I'm just rambling, I won't really use drinking water to take a bath..."

Pei Lan smiled awkwardly, not daring to commit a major taboo.

"There must be well water in the village. This kind of village usually has unified water supply by the brigade, with a deep well, but I don't know where it is."

Tan Huajun also heard the chat of the few people. As a woman, she still hoped to handle personal hygiene if conditions allowed, at least the vast majority of women were relatively clean.

"Pitch black, who dares to look for a water well? And I don't know if the well water has been polluted. Don't mention those, watch TV, be happy and you'll forget about being smelly."

Zheng Xin persuaded her sisters very cheerfully.

Although Zhang Su was watching TV, his keen hearing also took in the content of the women's chat, and he was planning the issue of personal hygiene in his heart.

From a short-term perspective, this doesn't count as anything, but from a long-term perspective, personal hygiene is very important. Whether in the East or the West, there is a history of a series of infectious diseases caused by not paying attention to hygiene, which cannot be ignored.

Even if it doesn't cause infectious diseases, members being smelly for a long time will affect morale and SAN value, which can't be helped...

Tom and Jerry played episode after episode, and everyone was unable to extricate themselves.

At this moment, everyone was free from the troubles of studies, the worries of work, the pressure of mortgages, and the distress of finding a partner. In those interesting cartoons, they found the purest and most primitive happiness.

This kind of happiness is like love; only when you have almost nothing can you truly possess it...

"Hehehe..."

Another slightly restrained laughter rang out, but Zhang Su's body stiffened slightly, and after a brief stiffness, he returned to normal. No one discovered his abnormality.

"Damn, it's really funny, hahaha, I'm going to smoke a cigarette and take a leak!"

After saying that, Zhang Su stood up, took out his cigarette case, and walked toward the car door.

"Brother Su, I'm coming too, give me one, give me one, hehe."

Lu Yubo followed Zhang Su off the car.

"You have to be in everything!"

Zhang Su turned back and scolded, pressed the electric door switch, and while waiting for the door to open, handed a cigarette to Lu Yubo and gave him a wink at the same time.

Lu Yubo's heart skipped a beat; he knew what that look from Zhang Su meant. There was a situation!

Still at the mother-in-law's house, returning tomorrow, but taking a day off tomorrow because I'll be home very late tomorrow and still have to pack up, so I won't rush to modify the text and update. Just this one day off this month, very stable!
