☆Chapter 31
Before the end, when the city is full of spring in late March people can put on sleeved spring shirts and go outing on the outskirts on sunny days.
But now, at the beginning of March, the snow finally stopped. After waiting for twenty days, the ice and snow melted, and the floods have receded, but the weather is still very cold, and the cold wind on the face is like a knife hitting the face. The weather looked like a cold spring.
Early in the morning, they went to the gate of the base to register to leave. Lei Hongming had already greeted the people at the base. When they left, the soldiers took a purple crystal card and handed it to Lou Dian.
"Mr. Lou, this is what Major General Lei ordered to give you." The soldier respectfully said, showing respect to the strong.
Others looked at the crystal card curiously and didn't know what it was for. Only Lou Dian knows its use and knows that it was a status symbol in the future, with such a purple crystal card, as long as it is a base established by ZF, it can enjoy many preferential policies, and even some family members in the capital may not even have one.
Lou Dian accepted it, nodded to the soldier, and left with everyone.
Just like when they came to the base half a year ago, there were also two cars when they left, Lou Dian, Lou Ling, Lin Baobao, and Grandpa Mo, the same car, and one for Xi Mufeng, Wei Xian, Chen Kaiwei, and Huang Zhiling. The cars they drove were still the previous two cars. Although they were ordinary private cars, they probably wouldn't be able to stop the zombies, but they couldn't help it now. Change it when you see a good car on the side of the road.
After the end of the world, good cars can be seen everywhere, but without gasoline, everything is useless. So before leaving, Xi Mufeng and Wei Xian went to the base to exchange food for gasoline. The base strictly controlled gasoline and other things, which also controlled the loss of personnel. However, the departure of Xi Mufeng and others has been filed with Major General Lei. For the face of Lou Dian, Lei Hongming had ordered it, yes. It is convenient for them to change some gasoline.
Filled half full with gasoline, cleared the car again and set off.
The interest of everyone is quite high, especially Xi Mufeng and Wei Xian are a kind of wandering deep anticipation of returning home.
Still, Lou Dian drove, Lou Ling sat in the co-pilot, Lin Bao Bao and Mo family sat in the back. Lou Ling crouched in front of the car window and looked at the environment along the way.
All the way, the outside environment was a depression. After a long winter, the heavy gray color finally faded. The sky showed a bluish color, and the clouds were a little thick, but not pure white, but a little gray. Barren fields and various collapsed sections can be seen everywhere on the roadside, and of course, there is extremely eye-catching green, green like a good emerald.
Although spring symbolizes the resurrection of all things and the grass grows up and warblers fly, it is quite normal for the bushes on the roadside to produce tender buds. However, such a rich emerald green color still makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and even a kind of monster is revealed everywhere, and I feel a little pain in my eyes after watching it for a long time.
Lou Ling looked at it for a while, and she felt her eyes were sore. She rubbed her eyes and reached over with one hand and put her face to one side. She saw Lou Dian holding the steering wheel in one hand and pinching her face in the other, looked at her for a while, and said, "Don't rub your eyes, be careful."
Lou Ling hurriedly pulled away from his hand and said nervously," Look carefully at the road, you are driving." Lou Dian raised his eyebrows. He looked disapproving, especially at this moment, when a large half-human-tall rock was lying in the middle of the road just ahead, seeing the car was about to crash, her heart was about to jump out but suddenly he leaned forward and avoided the big stone.
Lou Ling was so frightened that she was limp in her seat, her heart slowly at ease, and she heard a chuckle in her ear, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
But there was Lin’ Baobao's voice from behind: "Ling Ling, I looked at the plants outside that were not in the right color. They were too bright and made my eyes hurt a bit."
Hearing her say this, "Is it right? I have this feeling ...... hey, Baobao, you say that even animals have mutated, the plants will not be the same... also mutated?"
Her words made the expressions of Mo's family change slightly. Lin Baobao was silent for a while, her voice a little heavy, "It's possible."
When Lin Baobao used the walkie-talkie to talk to the people in the car behind and told their guesses, they were also silent at the same time, and the atmosphere became a little solemn, not as excited as they were when they set off.
After a very cold winter, snow disasters, floods, mudslides, landslides, and other disasters occurred successively, which made many highways to the north unable to go. I heard that many highways were also buried by collapsed mountains. Everyone had to choose secondary roads. There is no navigation now, and the route is really hard to find. I don't know where Lou Dian got the map. Several men studied it for a while before deciding on a route. They just walked along the way, mostly in mountains and forests.
The car drove all morning, and when they saw noon, they stopped to rest and boiled some hot soup to warm their cold body. When it comes to eating, Lou Dian never treats his own people badly and makes everyone wonder how big his space is and how many things he contains.
The place they choose to rest is beside an empty road, the grassland in China was originally farmland, and no one took care of it after the end of the world. Now it has become a grassy grassland overgrown with weeds. Lou Dian took out two killed chickens to let Grandpa Mo cook soup, drink some soup to warm themselves. They picked up some dry firewood nearby, built a stove, and a few men gathered together to take out a map to study the route.
While waiting for the meal to be prepared, three girls, Lou Ling, Lin Baobao, and Huang Zhiling, brought the two children to the side. As soon as the cold spring breeze blew, everyone couldn't help shrinking. The shoulders hopped on the spot, warming up.
The surroundings were very empty, except for them, no other living creatures were seen, not even a zombie. Of course, because there are no villages nearby, and the view here is wide, if zombies are coming, they can be spotted in time.
After the boys discussed it, the two chickens were almost stewed. Grandpa Mo also put some nourishing herbs such as red dates and wolfberry in the chicken soup, which smelled very delicious. Cut the two chickens with a knife, and pour the sauce directly. The main meal is rice that has been made into a ball in the space, and some canned meat is eaten with the soup. It is warm and comfortable.
After lunch, I went to solve my physical needs and continued on the road.
In the afternoon, Lou Ling drove, and Lou Dian was sitting in the co-pilot's position to rest. Except for two children, the adults here all drive, so they decided to take turns to drive. Everyone will drive for half a day. Tomorrow morning, it will be Baobao's turn. In the afternoon it will be the Lou Dian. The next morning it will be Lou Ling. The same goes for the car behind.
Because the road is not easy to walk, some places either have rocks or cracks, which seems very dangerous, and the cars are slow. Therefore, they only traveled about three to four hundred kilometers in one day, and according to the calculations, this speed is fairly fast, and the further north, the harder it will be to walk in places with severe snow and floods.
Towards the evening, the temperature began to drop again, and it was expected to drop to zero degrees, and everyone rushed to find a place to spend the night.
It happened to pass a village, which was very small, with only a few hundred households. Everyone stopped at the entrance of the village, did not enter the village rashly, and then everyone looked at Lou Dian.
Lou Dian took Lou Ling’s hand and put her cold hand into the pocket of the long windbreaker. He is a supernatural power and has spiritual protection. He is not afraid of the severe cold. His body maintains a normal temperature all year round. In winter, she does not refuse his approach and likes to sleep in his arms, as if holding a stove.
"Brother Lou, look at this village..." Xi Mufeng said hesitantly.
"There are people."
The Lou Dian said coldly. The village was cleaned up too clean. Although it looked decadent, there was not a single zombie, and there were traces of human cleanup in some places. Obviously, after the end of the world, there are not many humans with zombie mutations in this village, and they have been brought under control in time.
The spiritual power overwhelmed the entire village, and soon learned about the situation in the village. Lou Dian retracted his spiritual power and pointed to the one-story tiled house at the entrance of the village and said: "We will rest here tonight. Drive the car into the courtyard." The
others had no objection and had a sense of blind obedience to what he said.
Xi Mufeng looked back at the direction of the village. This village looked like a relatively backward village. Except for a few three-story concrete houses on the edge, the others were mostly one-story bungalows and tiled houses. The wall is also a red brick wall, without white putty, full of rustic taste.
Xi Mufeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he always felt that the village would not be too safe. If it wasn't for the absence of a place to stay nearby, he would not pick it here. The villagers hiding in the house have not come out, and they don't know what they are going to do.
After entering the house, there was a large yard. Two cars could be put down side by side. After the cars drove in, Xi Mufeng closed the door and locked it.
The owner is not there, and I don't know if the owner of the house has become a zombie, or it is not safe at the entrance of the village, and no one dares to live. Except for the bulky furniture and appliances, everything else in the room was empty, which saved them from cleaning up.
Wei Xian took out rice noodles and other things from the space to cook for Grandpa Mo. Chen Kaiwei and Xi Mufeng also consciously went to help. The girls and the two small children cleaned up the house, and then ran to look at the well in the yard.
Lin Baobao and Lou Ling played a bucket on the water together and found that the water was quite clear, but no one dared to drink it, and didn't know if there was any virus in the water, so that people who drink it would turn it into a zombie.
"This water can be used to wash clothes." Lin Baobao touched and found that the water was a little warm, and hurriedly asked the two children to wash their hands together.
Because it’s in the house, Lou Dian directly took out batteries and various household appliances and used electricity to cook dinner directly. The speed was much faster than using firewood. Everyone also understood the method of Lou Dian. Because they can use electricity at this time, I don't know what others think. After the end of the world, people have no choice but to guard against it.
Dinner was richer than lunch. Grandpa Mo made gnocchi with some canned vegetables and beef on it and then fried a few dishes. Everyone enthusiastically finished eating.
After the meal was over, it was dark.
