Rebirth in the end of the world: the boss starts from hoarding supplies

Chapter 24
Jiang Ran accepted the sweet potatoes, held the aunt's hand and reminded: "Take care, if necessary, you can sprinkle some wormwood ash and realgar around the house, maybe it will be safer."

Wormwood and realgar already have the effect of repelling insects and sterilizing bacteria. In the last days, the effects of these two things will be multiplied. They are the most commonly used insect repellents by survivors of the last days.

The aunt waved a few people away, watching the pedestrians leave one by one, she sat back under the tree and rocked the cool chair, waiting for the next passerby to ask for water.

Coming out of the village, the five people walked towards the asphalt road, but the temperature of the asphalt road was too high, so they could only walk along the side of the road.

Ji Qinglin complained: "No wonder there is no one on the road from a distance. It turns out that the temperature above is so high."

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said: "The black asphalt road absorbs heat, so the temperature is naturally much higher than the surrounding area."

The five people followed the large group of troops and slowly moved forward. Occasionally, there were cars passing by at high speed on the road, and some armed police were protecting them along the way.

In front of him, a young man suddenly fell down, and the people around glanced at him, then continued to walk forward.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a white T-shirt stepped forward, took off the large water bottle he was carrying, gave the young man a drink, and poured some on his face.

The seven or eight-year-old girl next to the middle-aged man kept fanning the fan in her hand, and the woman next to him gently rubbed the girl's head.

The young man woke up slowly, got up and thanked the three of them, the middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, and helped the young man to move on.

On the long migration road, some people fell down and stood up from time to time, and some people fell down and never stood up again.

Jiang Ran and the others continued to move forward. Two black cars were parked on the side of the road ahead. A young man in his thirties was sitting in the courtyard and looked at the pedestrians passing by the door with a very relaxed expression.

Jiang Ran turned around and said to Ji Qingcheng and the others behind him: "Do you want to go over and ask, the two cars should belong to the family, and giving us one will not have much impact on them."

Yu Xiaowan frowned, "In this situation, can they sell it to us? We have nothing to exchange."

Jiang Ran said: "If you ask, you will have a chance, if you don't ask, you will have no chance."

Looking at the young man sitting in the courtyard, Ji Qingcheng said, "I'll be with you, and I can help you in case of any situation."

Jiang Ran nodded, "Yes."

Afterwards, the two walked towards the small western-style building on the side of the road. Ji Qingcheng was waiting by the side of the road. Jiang Ran walked into the yard and asked, "Excuse me, do these two cars belong to you?"

The young man looked at Jiang Ran and said with certainty, "I want to buy a car."

Jiang Ran nodded, "Are you willing to sell one?"

Looking Jiang Ran up and down, the young man continued: "We have two cars in our family, and it is not impossible to sell one to you, but you also know what the situation is now, and I am afraid that you cannot afford the price."

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Tell me, maybe we can afford it."

The young man joked, "We want a thousand catties of grain, do you have it?"

"No."

Jiang Ran shook her head. There is enough food in the space, but it is impossible to take it out now, otherwise her secret will be exposed and her life can be saved.

Seeing the young man's complacent look, Jiang Ran continued: "Although I can't afford the price, no one else on the road can afford this price. Even if there is, it's impossible for someone to exchange for a broken car."

As he said that, Jiang Ran carefully observed the young man's facial expressions and small movements. Seeing that he had been staring at him, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he said with displeasure, "Can you tell me the real price?"

Suddenly the young man laughed loudly, "Except for your backpack, what else is worth anything? Even if the bag is full of food, it's not worth my car."

Jiang Ran said lightly: "So?"

The young man said confidently: "Exchange it with other things."

"no need."

Before Jiang Ran could answer, Ji Qingcheng, who had been paying attention to this place, spoke up. He walked up to Jiang Ran, looked down at the young man from a high position, lowered his head and whispered in Jiang Ran's ear: "There are many people hidden in the house."

Jiang Ran suddenly realized that this guy put the two cars in the courtyard dam, obviously to attract people to come to inquire, and then charged a sky-high price to raise the psychological expectations of the visitors, and then took advantage of the fire to rob.

Men robbing wealth and women robbing sex are really good plans.

She looked at the young man and said with a sneer, "Be careful not to lose money by stealing chickens."

Jiang Ran and Ji Qingcheng left the small courtyard. The young man looked at them with an unfriendly expression. Seeing that there were other companions, the young man withdrew his eyes and continued to sit down on the chair, waiting for the next big fat sheep who threw himself into the net.

After leaving, Jiang Ran and the others never saw the car again.

In the current situation, every household is aware of the importance of cars and hides their cars tightly. Almost no family will sell their cars.

Jiang Ran also stopped thinking about getting a car, so he couldn't grab one.

As night fell, the number of pedestrians on the road began to decrease. Some people chose to stop on the side of the road to rest or go to nearby houses for the night, and some took advantage of the relatively cool night to continue their journey under the moonlight.

Jiang Ran and the other five chose to move on, traveling as much as possible at night and resting during the day.

Under the bright starry sky, the dark land is quiet and dangerous, insects chirp continuously in the mountains, forests and grass, and occasionally birds chirp from the mountains.

Because of the dim light around them, the five of Jiang Ran were close together, only one step away from each other.

giggle!
Suddenly, there was a sound of flocks of birds flapping their wings in the forest, and everyone stopped immediately, followed by a loud and distant howl.

"Ow~"

Jiang Ran was shocked, "It's howling wolves."

As soon as the words fell, there were several loud responses from that mountain top.

Guan Song panicked, "It's still a pack of wolves."

Quickly judging the location and distance of howling wolves, Ji Qingcheng said, "Hurry up, find a place to hide, you can't stay outside, you will suffer if you are surrounded by wolves."

Hearing this, several people hurriedly approached the residential houses on the side of the road, and other people on the road also ran to the door of the nearest house and kept knocking, yelling in fear.

"Open the door."

"The wolves are coming, open the door quickly and let us in."

"Open the door, fellow, please let us go in and hide for a while, I can give you a lot of money."

"Help me."

……

Horrified shouts came and went, and everyone kept beating on the doors of houses in the village, but almost no one was willing to open the door.

There was only one family, and as soon as the door was opened, the panicked crowd rushed into the house. The owner was knocked down, trampled by the crowd and screamed in pain.

However, the surrounding light was dim, and many people could not see clearly what was going on in the house. They felt even more frightened when they heard the miserable screams, and desperately pushed the people in front to get into the house.
