System into the end of the world

Chapter 39

Since the morning, it has been raining sparsely, which is not considered warm, but this time it is even more bitterly cold.Fortunately, I brought a thick coat before going out, which saved the two of them from the bad luck of catching a cold.

The wiper wiped the glass and made a "噗噐" sound. The clear vision just recovered was soon blurred by the fine raindrops. The rain became heavier. Zhan Xuyang adjusted the control lever under the steering wheel and accelerated the speed. Wiper frequency.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while, I'll make some food, and we'll leave after eating."

It has been almost a week since Shao Feng took the mission and went to the North China base. Zhan Xuyang and Yu Nan were not idle, and then they took on the mission of collecting daily necessities.The two of them have been out for three days, and they don't have a specific destination, so it doesn't matter where they go.The towns around Huichuan had been evacuated long ago, so they could only search farther afield.

"I will pay attention." Zhan Xuyang replied.

Feeling that the car was too quiet, Yu Nan took out a pure audio vinyl disc from the front drawer and put it in the DVD player to play.Adjust the volume to a level that does not affect the speaking, propped up his arms and looked out the window.

The original cultivated land on both sides of the road is now covered with lush weeds, which are so dense that you can't see the end.It seems harmless, but there may be a few mutated or zombie plants hidden somewhere, patiently waiting for the prey to fall into the net.When the car passed by, a group of small flying insects were startled, and they all rushed to the car with a bang, and were stuck to the window glass by raindrops and struggled desperately.

Not wanting to face these dusty things, Yu Nan looked away, "Yesterday, Lao Gu told me that our house can be lived in after a month of airing. When we go back, we can go to a furniture store to see the furniture?" Lao Gu was the one with the most experience among the group of people who built the house for them, so he was appointed as a small foreman, and he would go to him directly for any problems.

"It depends on the situation. I guess there will be no room in the car. I want furniture. Next time we will go out alone. Even if there is no shortage of things at home, we can't stay in the base all the time. After a long time of comfort, our hands and feet are rusty." .”

"Okay." Yu Nan nodded.In fact, she also wanted to get some exterior materials to make the exterior of the house, but now it is only built with red bricks, which looks like an old house in the 70s and [-]s.

After passing through a small village, he opened the car door and put the glutinous rice balls down to clean up the nearby zombies. Zhan Xuyang parked the car at the entrance of a small restaurant on the side of the road.Yu Nan pulled up the hood on her clothes to protect her head from the rain, and got out of the car with one hand on her backpack.

There is still a little liquefied petroleum gas in the gas tank in the back kitchen of the restaurant, which is more than enough to cook a meal.I still use my own pots and pans, and after a brief cleaning, Yu Nan took out the seeds to give birth to vegetables.A handful of spinach, a cauliflower, plus a large handful of beans, mixed with a little meat, the days before the end of the world are nothing more than that.There were still a lot of beans left, and she purposely planted them together with their rhizomes under the abandoned flower stand outside the door, maybe it could benefit future generations.

The rain outside didn't look like it was going to stop for a short period of time. After filling my stomach, it was finally not so cold.

"Shall we leave now? Or wait for the rain to subside?" Yu Nan avoided the wet glutinous rice balls and turned to Zhan Xuyang.Not to mention that the road is difficult to walk in rainy days, and the sightlines are not good. Coupled with the possibility of zombies and various emergencies that may appear at any time, it is really dangerous.

Zhan Xuyang walked to the door and took a look at the sky. The sky in the distance was so dark that there was no bright color to be seen, "Go ahead while the rain is not too heavy, and find a place to live before it gets dark. Maybe you won't be able to wait." Tonight, there will be a thunderstorm."

After hearing what he said, Yu Nan hurriedly packed her things, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go, find a place to settle down early, and you can rest assured earlier."

She once drove a car in a thunderstorm, and the roar of thunder seemed to explode in her ears, and bright lightning bolts struck down from the dark sky, falling to the unknown front.Even though it is far away, it feels like it will hit yourself in the next second.What's more, the car itself is easy to attract lightning in the wilderness. She definitely doesn't want to try it again for the feeling of fear.

In the face of nature, the power of human beings is so small.

The zombies who had just wandered nearby were dealt with by glutinous rice balls. They returned to the car, wiped the rainwater on their bodies, and Zhan Xuyang started the car and continued on the road.

Yu Nan boiled water, brewed two cups of scented tea, then screwed on the lid of the portable cup and put it in the booth for easy access at any time.There was still some hot water left in the kettle, and the rising steam blurred his vision, and soon formed a layer of mist on the window glass.At first I could see the scenery outside the window clearly, but it soon became blurred.She opened the car window a crack to let the cold air pour in, and the sudden temperature change made her shiver uncontrollably.

"Going forward is Yi'an County, right?" Zhan Xuyang asked suddenly.

"Yes, Yi'an produces winter dates... Eh? Why don't we take some winter dates back? If there are saplings, we can dig one and plant it in our yard, so that we can eat dates every year."

Zhan Xuyang was amused by her words, "You said it was winter jujube, now is not the ripe season, if you want to eat it, you have to wait until October...Huh?" He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, "I forgot , you have supernatural powers."

"Well, just use a supernatural ability to give birth to it." Yu Nan replied.

Zhan Xuyang didn't say yes or no, but took action directly and settled down in a village under Yi'an County.

There used to be about a hundred families in the village. Zhan Xuyang and Yu Nan didn't know what was going on inside, so they didn't dare to go deep, so they cleaned up the nearby zombies and moved into a clean house next to the road. .

The first thing to do when entering the house is to clean up. Yu Nan is quite skilled in this job.The yard of this family is not big, two of the three north rooms can accommodate people, and the two south rooms are the kitchen and the utility room.It was almost packed, and some of the luggage in the car was moved into the house. If the gate wasn't wide enough, Yu Nan even hoped to be able to drive the car directly into the yard.

Bean-sized raindrops fell after their footsteps, and after the lightning, thunder followed.Tang Yuan squatted at the door of the main room, watching her coming and going, wagging her tail from time to time.Zhan Xuyang moved two stools to sit on the other side of the door, and beckoned her to sit down, "Don't be too busy, take a break. Anyway, we can't stay for a few days, and there is no need to clean it so clean."

"It's clean, at least I look comfortable." Yu Nan saw that it was almost the same, threw away the rag, washed his hands, walked over and sat down, "I just checked, and the tap water here is also very polluted, the water is yellow , can’t be used anymore. I don’t know if the groundwater is the same, but the winter jujube can’t be picked, who knows if it will carry viruses or something.”

Maybe it's because plants and animals are fundamentally different. When this virus, which is extremely domineering in humans, spreads to plants, the infection speed is quite slow.So far, Yu Nan has only seen [-] to [-] mutated and zombified plants in total.Suddenly remembered the bean plant that she buried in the ground, wondering if she would do bad things with good intentions?

"It's not impossible. It's like sometimes a person carries the virus, but it's not necessarily an infected person. The virus may not mutate when it is stored in the plant, but it may not be so after people eat it, or else Why are the vegetables provided in the base now relying on soilless cultivation." Zhan Xuyang sighed, "The little things produced by the research institute are not enough to fit between the teeth, and large tracts of land are barren. Human beings can only watch their hungry bellies."

This kind of thing can't be persuaded by others, and after a moment of silence, Yu Nan thought of another thing, "I heard from my little uncle that the base is now trying to recruit people with supernatural powers into the army, why don't I think it's a good thing? "

Zhan Xuyang shook his head, "Not necessarily. The high conditions offered by the military department are actually a good thing for some people. They will be eager to recruit people. On the one hand, it is because the population of the base is increasing, and the current number of troops is completely full. Not enough to see. There are too many people, so there are more right and wrong. Today's social order is chaotic, and there are some riots or riots. There are few people and it is impossible to control it. On the other hand, it is necessary for various tasks. After all, superhumans have advantages over ordinary people. There is nothing wrong with recruiting from the military.”

"Many people still choose freedom," Yu Nan said.

"Yes, so even though many people have made it clear that they are supernatural beings, your uncle still doesn't let you expose your supernatural powers, just because he is worried that he won't be able to protect you and that you will be caught in trouble."

Yu Nan sighed inwardly, this is the disadvantage of not being powerful.She didn't show her face, pursed her mouth, and complained half-truthfully: "But it's always so sneaky, and it's hard to improve our quality of life. I've always hoped to plant a circle of creepers by the fence of our house." Vine roses can block the sight of outsiders, and the thorns on the roses can also play a certain role in preservation.

There are also fruit trees, some of which are planted, and there are seasonal fruits to eat, and many of them can be exchanged for other supplies.Then there are vegetables, which have to be dried for a day or two each time before they can be brought to the public. "

Zhan Xuyang was silent for a while, and then said in a heavy tone: "The world will not change because of individuals, so we have to change ourselves to adapt to this world. You don't understand the truth of shooting the first bird, Yu Nan , don’t lose the big because of the small.”

"I see." Sighing, Yu Nan answered wearily.How could she not understand, it's just that this kind of lack of food and clothing is too difficult, and the things she can do every day are very limited, and most of the time she can only sit in a daze.Day after day, no one knows when such a day will end.

Water drops fell on the canopy in front of the door, tick-tock forming a monotonous melody.Both of them stopped talking, and just stared outside in a daze.

After dinner before dark, the glutinous rice balls were fed, and the two went back to their rooms to rest.

I was thinking about what to brush up tomorrow morning, when suddenly there was the sound of glutinous rice balls screaming from outside.Yu Nan's first reaction was that there was a group of zombies, because Tangyuan had warned them more than once, but then she heard the sound of an engine mixed with the sound of rain, and the approaching people were already very close.

She dressed as fast as she could and left the room, just in time to see Zhan Xuyang rushing into the rain curtain with glutinous rice balls, Yu Nan thought for a while, opened the system backpack, went back to the room and picked up the short knife that was unloaded and placed on the bed , and then ran to the door.
