Chapter 14 Take a short break
More than ten hours after the end of the world, when Ruan Hang and the others returned in the afternoon, there were already signs of living people appearing.
The places where they appear are usually in stores with food. After getting the food, they don't stay outside too long, and go back to their residence not far away.
According to the analysis of this situation, they should belong to the kind. They usually have no food reserves at home and come out out of desperation.
Because there are vehicles parked in the middle of the road in the city, it is very difficult for the two of them to get out of the city, especially since Chen Boqing is a truck, so he is not flexible anywhere.
It used to take half an hour to the highway intersection, but now it took more than an hour.
But as long as they got to the expressway, where there was an emergency lane for vehicles, the two of them could go back to the village directly from there without taking a long detour.
After wandering around the city for a while, the two finally entered the highway smoothly.
It's just that the highway is not as easy as it was in the morning. More zombies have already broken out and are wandering around. When they heard the sound of cars, they dragged their broken bodies to the emergency lane.
Chen Boqing ignored these zombies and directly joined in to crush them, but Ruan Hang couldn't help but watch him attack these monsters, which he knew were zombies, so he could only close his eyes and rush over.
The feeling of being crushed by the vehicle caused Ruan Hang's already uncomfortable body to react again, dizzy, nauseated and trembling uncontrollably. He had to admit that such a scene frightened him and made him feel infinitely terrified.
Ruan Hangqiang worked hard to follow Chen Boqing closely, and the vehicles of the two soon encountered the first team.
The group of people went directly to another fork in the road, which was different from Ruan Hang's forward route. They seemed to want to find hope in other cities.
But before the end of the world, the whole world was shrouded in red clouds, and the country/country has not sent people to rescue, so how could such a situation be just here.
Those who passed by didn't know what their future fate would be, but Ruan Hang and the others met fellow travelers here. Among the people going to another fork in the road, two cars did not follow the flow of people, but chose to follow Ruan Hang and Chen Boqing closely. behind.
Ruan Hang watched through the rearview mirror, and the more he looked, the more he felt that a certain car behind him looked familiar, but it might be because of physical discomfort, and Ruan Hang's thoughts slowed down a lot. The few people I met at the gas station.
The two cars have been following them since just now, and it has been a while now. It is impossible for his brother not to notice, but he has not made any reaction now, and Ruan Hang didn't care too much, just followed them attentively.
Because no one stopped them, the group followed them directly back to the village. The village entrance was about to be reached, and Chen Boqing's truck finally stopped.
The people following them saw Chen Boqing getting off the car and quickly opened the door to get off. The two teams stopped in front of Ruan Hang's car, saving Ruan Hang from moving.
"After entering the village, you should find a house by yourself, and then act independently, don't bring people in casually." Chen Boqing asked them to follow here, which was regarded as acquiescing to their behavior of moving into the village.
But as Chen Boqing has repeatedly emphasized before, he will not be responsible for human life, and people in the last days can only rely on themselves.
"No, I'm sorry to bother you, thank you." Fang Nuo still spoke, but the gratitude of the young people was particularly obvious.
Because they knew that the village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there were not many residents in it. If they cleaned up the monsters carefully, they would be cleaned up quickly.
And the reason why they were able to find such a safe and secret place was because someone led the way.
In this way, if they are not grateful, they will not be worthy of the other party's trust.
Ruan Hang didn't get out of the car, but just opened the car window, lying on the car window to listen to some people talking, but Chen Boqing had already noticed the pale complexion.
So without saying a few words, Chen Boqing hurried into the car and drove into the village quickly.
As soon as the first few cars entered the village, Ruan Hang felt that there was something different. Although the zombies had already rushed towards their cars, the strangeness was still in Ruan Hang's heart.
In the early days of the end of the world, the senses of hearing and smell of zombies seem to be not very keen. The vehicles have gone all the way, and only nearby zombies have come.
If the vehicle accelerates away from a certain range, these zombies will start wandering aimlessly again, so the vehicle's progress is not delayed much.
The truck drove all the way to Chen Boqing's house. Chen Boqing got out of the car and planned to open the door. The two cars behind him also stopped around.
Only when people get together can they feel safe, and the group obviously took a fancy to the house that is close to them.
That house is one of the few good-quality tile-roofed houses in the village, and it should be a good place to live.
"Is the little soft key with you?" Chen Boqing rummaged around the door, and finally remembered that the key was in the car.
Ruan Hang took the key and was about to hand it out, but the goods in the truck in front were scattered due to the long-term bumping, and Chen Boqing had no time to pick up the key, so Ruan Hang had to get out of the car and open the door by himself.
It's just that Ruan Hang just got out of the car when his ankle was grabbed by a zombie who didn't know when he climbed under the car. The small hand came from a child.
Different from other zombies, this little zombie has great strength. Ruan Hang didn't have much strength in his body, so he couldn't break free for a while, and then the hideous face of the little zombie appeared from under the car.
It roared at Ruan Hang, and bit Ruan Hang's leg expressionlessly. Chen Boqing's ability appeared in time, and the hard soil pierced through the little zombie's temple.
The little zombie stopped moving at this point, and the child's empty and white eyes stayed at that moment, never being able to close again, but this was also a relief.
When Fang Nuo and the others ran, what they saw was the scene of the little zombie bowing its head.
The immature children were swallowed by the apocalypse, and the pressure that the young people had been under since the apocalypse collapsed instantly. When he turned his head and left, Ruan Hang saw that the young people left with tears in their eyes.
Crying is the weakest act, but people are fragile, and emotions that cannot be expressed can only be presented by crying.
"Xiao Ruan, open the door." Chen Boqing looked around again, and after seeing that there were no other zombies, he came over and patted Ruan Hang on the shoulder, reminding him to open the door, and it was a kind of comfort.
"Brother, go and drive first." Ruan Hang recovered from his grief, stopped looking at the little zombie under the car, and opened the door to facilitate the drive in.
Chen Boqing didn't drive with a worried face, but urged Ruan Hang to let him enter the yard first.
Ruan Hang really couldn't face the little zombie, so he didn't refuse to go directly into the courtyard and wait. When Chen Boqing drove the two cars in, Ruan Hang closed the gate again.
When the two of them returned to the courtyard, the first thing they did was to wash off their blood. They probably didn't want to go home with blood.
The stored water is from before the end of the world, and Ruan Hang is useless. Such water is likely to become drinking water after there is no water.
The water they use for washing is a small well in the courtyard. The water in it is clean and clear, which is much better than the cistern.
But the water outside has all been exposed to hail, Ruan Hang doesn't know if there will be any problems, and his brother hasn't said anything either.
The camouflage uniform was taken off directly, thrown into a pool with a sewer, and the stains on the clothes were washed away by the water.
The two of them simply washed up by themselves, put on the clothes inside, without wearing other coats, unloaded the goods from the car, and carried them into the house with a small car.
Dry food, rice and noodles were sent to the westernmost empty room in the house.
Ruan Hang had seen that door in the cabbage room before. At that time, he thought it contained something, so he was embarrassed to go in.
But I didn't expect that there was nothing inside, just enough to put these materials in.
Things that are easy to store are placed in the westernmost warehouse.
The cabbage room next to it is used to store daily necessities and common things. Instant noodles, ham sausages, toilet paper, mineral water, some commonly used medicines, etc. are also placed here.
Ruan Hang forcibly helped to move the things on the truck, but when they moved to the off-road vehicle, Chen Boqing said nothing to let Ruan Hang move, and kept urging Ruan Hang to go to the kang to rest, but Ruan Hang had no choice but to go to the kang to rest stand up.
Chen Boqing was moving up and down outside, and Ruan Hang couldn't feel at ease sitting on the kang, so he simply moved to the window and leaned on the window sill to watch Chen Boqing move things.
Chen Boqing in the courtyard quickly noticed the person by the window. From then on, Chen Boqing would look at the window every time before moving things.
Seeing his brother's silly behavior, Ruan Hang's mouth curled into an inconspicuous arc. For some reason, after he laughed, his brother was so dazed that he almost tripped over the steps.
His brother's rare foolishness also made Ruan Hang show a real smile for the first time after the apocalypse.
Ruan Hang felt the rare moment of being able to forget his troubles, Chen Boqing also poked his head into the room, holding bags of snacks and candies in his arms, and pushed towards Ruan Hang without saying anything.
Ruan Hang accepted his intention, opened a piece of candy and put it in his mouth.
Chen Boqing watched Ruan Hang eat the candy eagerly, and was about to leave. Before Chen Boqing went out, Ruan Hang quickly peeled off another one and brought it to Chen Boqing's mouth.
Before the end of the world, Ruan Hang heard a saying that sweetness will make people feel happy.
