He continued to pound, and as he pounded, the cracks grew larger and larger until the cracks could be covered with mud peeled off by hand.

He was very gentle when peeling it off, for fear of damaging the mud seal.

After the mud cover was peeled off, he wiped the dust from the mouth of the altar with his sleeves.

The covering underneath, the bamboo raft, is exposed.

Seeing the bamboo basket, Heishou grinned and said: "It seems that this wine has been stored for at least ten years. It is an old wine. Now we are both lucky."

"More than ten years!?"

Zheng Shiwu was a little surprised. He had not drank ten years of old wine, but if he thought about it carefully, six years had passed since the end of the world.

"Can you open it? If you open it, it won't be easy to seal it back. If this unopened wine is sold in the trading market, it will definitely sell for a high price." Blackhand asked Zheng Shiwu behind him.

"Open it." Zheng Shiwu said without hesitation.

"good."

The black hand carefully removed the bamboo cover.

After a few seconds, a smell of alcohol filled the air.

The tangy pure grain wine aroma is mellow and elegant. As soon as you smell it, you can tell that it is the kind of old wine that has been stored for a long time.

"It smells so good! Want some?" Black Hand turned his head and looked at Zheng Shiwu.

"Everything is open. It would be unreasonable not to come. Come!"

Blackhand got up and went to get the kettle. Their kettle was a large 2-liter kettle with a recessed lid that could hold about 2 to 3 taels of water.

He came over with the lid and the wine jar was leaning on the ground.

The lamp shines on the inside of the wine tank, and the wine inside appears light yellow and clear.

The rich aroma of wine hit his nostrils, making Hei Shou swallow his saliva. Looking at his appearance, Zheng Shiwu knew that this guy might have been a good drinker in the past.

"Just drink a little, don't drink too much, we have to do things tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Black Hand waved his hand.

"Help me take care of it, don't pour it out and waste it."

He squatted on the ground, turned the wine jar, and poured the wine on the bottle cap.

Very carefully, when the bottle cap was almost full, he held the wine jar and poured it back.

The wine line was immediately cut off.

Not a drop was spilled.

The black hand picked up the bottle cap and handed it to Zheng Shiwu, "Come on, Old Zheng, you have a taste first."

Zheng Shiwu glanced at him and took the bottle cap.

took a sip.

Um?

Zheng Shiwu's eyes lit up. He was not a good drinker, but he felt that the wine he drank this time was the best he had ever drunk.

The entrance is slightly sweet, the alcohol is mellow, the taste is strong and full, and the hops are light, full and even.

He took another sip, his mouth full of wine.

Mellow, because after many years of aging, the alcohol and water in the wine have been fully integrated, giving it a very soft taste.

"How's it going? How's it going?" Black Hand looked at his expression and asked excitedly.

"Very good." Zheng Shiwu commented after taking two sips.

Very good. Zheng Shiwu has always had extremely high requirements for many things. Being able to achieve very good results means that he is already ridiculously good.

Zheng Shiwu handed the bottle cap to Black Hand.

Blackhand couldn't wait any longer and couldn't wait to take a big sip.

Hold the old wine in your mouth and savor it carefully.

The wine went into my throat, straight up to my stomach.

call--

The rich scent of wine spurted out, and Black Hand groaned:

"Damn, I didn't expect to be able to drink such good wine in this apocalyptic world. This trip to the northwest is so worth it!"

He couldn't bear to drink such a good wine too quickly, so he drank it slowly and slowly.

Zheng Shiwu didn't drink much, and he wasn't a good drinker. He drank one or two more and stopped drinking.

After drinking some wine, my stomach feels warm. On such a cold day, drinking some wine is the most comfortable and makes it easier to sleep.

Zheng Shiwu stood up, took the moisture-proof mat aside and spread it, and continued to eat his dry food.

Seeing that Black Hand was still drinking there, he reminded:

"Blackhand, don't get drunk and cause trouble. If you finish drinking this bottle cap, don't drink anymore."

"Okay, I know, don't worry, I drank less than half of the two kilograms, and I'm not drunk at all." Black Hand said with a smile.

The cold wind howled outside the vents, and they hid in the safe shelter of the cellar, drinking and listening to the wind.

After Zheng Shiwu ate his dry food, he took off his outermost camouflage suit and got into his sleeping bag.

Listening to the wind, I fell into sleep.

Black Hand sat next to the wine vat, dazed for a while.

Drinking this wine reminded him of the past.

The first half of his life was full of ups and downs, and the past was playing before his eyes like a slideshow. He thought of many things, some of which he was about to forget.

.......

The next day.

Zheng Shiwu woke up early, looked at the wine vat that had been resealed, and looked at Black Hand.

It's okay, I didn't drink too much.

Today they want to change places, to a place where they can see the northwest base.

It is still too far away from the northwest base, and only their frontline sentry towers and barbed wire fences can be seen.

The closer you get to the northwest, the more careful you have to be. Once discovered, they will be dead.

He woke up twice in the middle of the night last night, and the roars of zombies woke him up.

They were lucky yesterday and didn't encounter too many zombie wolves. They could handle four of them, but if there were more than a dozen, it would be troublesome.

"Blackhand, wake up."

Zheng Shiwu kicked Black Hand's leg.

Black Hand woke up leisurely. He had a good sleep last night.

This was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had in this journey.

He stood up and moved his muscles, making the bones in his body crackle.

After the two of them ate some dry food, Black Hand looked at the two bottles of wine and became entangled.

Should I take it away or leave it here?

"Don't look at it, this wine vat is so big, we can't take it away!" Zheng Shiwu saw what he was thinking and interrupted him without hesitation.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Black Hand was like a cat with a fried hair, and retorted: "But... it would be such a waste to leave such good wine here!"

Zheng Shiwu sighed and said:

"No, I didn't say no. The wine jar is too big for us to carry. Let's bury it first, and when we leave later, we can get some plastic barrels to take away. We don't have a container now, and it's inconvenient to move around holding the wine jar.

"

When Black Hand heard what he said, he understood.

But he was a little unwilling to put it all here.

So I rummaged around in the package and finally found a container that could be used to hold wine.

A water bag made of animal skin, which they found in a private house when they were stationed overnight near ZY City.

It was originally used to hold water, but he drank all the water in the water bag.

Seeing him taking out the water bag, Zheng Shiwu didn't stop him.

Anyway, they all drank up the water, but it would be troublesome for them to replenish it later.

There are still 7 liters of water in the car 20 kilometers away from them, and the two large-capacity water bottles add up to three liters.

Today we first need to find a suitable location to observe the northwest base, and then we need to find a way to replenish the water source.

Although the northwest has been arid for many years,
To be continued...
