Chapter 34: one-tenth distance pit stop point

Chapter 34: one-tenth distance pit stop point

There are buildings with people and empty buildings.

The people here are much better than they were as these people have water well nearby.

But they are being exhausted day by day.

They also had food being a small village with local plantation harvested.

Vicky and the group move along and found some abandoned vehicles on the road.

The parts of the cars are missing.

Most probably some of the villages have salvaged them.

Vicky knocked on the doors but no one opened.

Since they did not open Vicky sneaked into a house that still had a car in good condition.

The mechanic checked the car and found that the car is in working condition.

Well there are no keys and the mechanic doesn't need keys.

They started the car forcibly and then drove it outside.

They took the car out of this place and the people inside the house did not open the door to check.

But there is still movement.

They should have faced the survivor's situation before and are vigilant towards the outsiders.

Vicky did not give them a chance to prepare as he took the people away from here quickly.

With the car on hand the people started to move around the village to find some more suitable travel means.

After some time they found another car.

The group divided into two and they started to drive the two cars.

They moved along to the next village and went on till they reached a place that still has some greenery.

During the journey most of the trees in the road has no leaves.

Even if there are leaves they are already dried off.

This place seems to be much better and there is a small town here.

It was going to be morning soon.

So the group found a building that can be used for shelter.

It is a three story building that was at the edge of the town.

It is big function hall with air conditioning and it is completely locked.

Vicky's group checked and there is no one inside.

This can be used as a pit stop.

This place reaches a tenth of the total distance.

Vicky and the group checked the entire building and there is no one.

Well anyone would stay at home rather than going to a function hall to stay.

There is no food or water at the function hall.

This is the place where the people stayed in the previous life in their journey towards the reservoir.

After making sure that everything here is fine Vicky sent two people to collect some fuel for their return journey and extra fuel just in case.

Everyone has their food with them and they started to eat it silently.

Vicky also took out Fermented curd rice to eat.

It is one of the storage processes for storing rice in hot climates.

It is good for health and cools the body.

Well the taste cannot be compared to many tasty foods but it can taste good as long as it is mixed with sliced onions and green chilies.

If there is any pickle to go along with it then it is a best food.

After eating this people would not be hungry for a long time and their body temperature would be maintained at low temperature for a long time in hot sun.

But one has to do heavy work or be in the hot sun to digest this kind of food easily.

If not people would face some gastric problems and indigestion problems.

People that works at farms without machineries or labor that does work with body than heavy machinery would prefer this food for strength.

They have to do heavy work under the hot sun so they this is perfect food for them.

Unfortunately Vicky cannot take out chilies and onion slices.

But he can still take out some pickled mango to eat along with this.

The people around are eating rice gruel naturally looked at Vicky with envy.

Well Vicky gave them some pickle and a piece of mango.

He has many mango trees inside the space so it is not a problem for Vicky to make more pickle in the future with the ingredients he has.

But it also shows that the pickle in his bottle is over.

So they would not have alternate thoughts to attack Vicky for food.

It was day time and everyone tried to turn on the air conditioning of the function hall.

But the power is already gone and there are no solar panels.

So they can only live in this hot weather trying their best to hide.

Because of the big room the amount of heat inside is not that high at the bottom floor.

On the other hand the humidity is high making the people sweat a lot.

Everyone brought few bottles of water but it was quickly emptied because of the extreme heat.

This function hall did not have water in the tank above.

Some people should have already emptied the water tank here.

Vicky was fortunate enough to eat the fermented curd rice keeping his stomach and body cool.

He tried his best to rest even though he cannot sleep in the current situation.

In the evening Vicky left 5 men here with the food and water for them to stay here and guard the place.

Vicky would return back with the mechanic to inform the people about the news.

The 5 men are already prepared for this and the temperature here is the same as the living conditions back in the apartments.

Also there is no stench here other than the one coming from them.

So this place is much better to stay.

Vicky and mechanic scaled back through the same way they came and the journey is quick.

They returned back by the time it was deep in the night.

Since the people became nocturnal there is no need to wake anyone as everyone is awake during the night.
