Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 15

The wind from the northwest was getting drier, and the sky was as gloomy and oppressive as a doomsday reality.It has been a long, long time since I have seen the sun.

Chen Zhuxia felt relaxed, at least she no longer had to worry about someone plotting to harm her.

The two were still talking from time to time, and their voices were divided into sections by the strong wind.

The walking speed of the two is about six or seven kilometers per hour.You can only walk about 100 miles a day.There is still about 600 miles from here to Xinjiang. That is to say, without the help of external forces, it will take them [-] days at the fastest to reach Xinjiang.

Chen Zhuxia said: "There are few people on this road, so there should be no zombies."

"But there may be mutant animals."

They haven't encountered mutated animals yet, but because it's winter, most of the animals are hibernating. After wintering, they are not so lucky.

It is winter at this time, the plants are withered, and the trees are withered and yellow.Chen Zhuxia wanted to see if the plants would mutate but had no chance.

She vaguely remembered that when she was hoarding supplies, she seemed to buy a few packets of seeds at random, and she had time to plant the seeds in the space.Although there is still a lot of food in space, their long march has only just begun, and everything has to be saved.

She sighed sadly, if she could have found this space earlier, she would have bought more seeds.But then she thought about it, she had the ancient books from her family and her personal space, which was already the greatest gift from God, she should be grateful, why is she still so greedy!
Yuan Dingfang saw her sighing and smiling for a while, with extremely rich expressions.But he didn't ask why.On this point, he did a very good job, no matter what actions Chen Zhuxia made, he would never ask.As if everything was the way it should be.This kind of person is either extremely indifferent or very self-disciplined. Chen Zhuxia doesn't know which category Yuan Dingfang belongs to.

Without the protection of the windshield, the knife-like wind unscrupulously hit the faces of the two of them.Even if they wear thick hats and scarves, it doesn't help much.

After a long time, Chen Zhuxia felt dry pain on his face.She took out the cream from her backpack, wiped it on her face against the wind, and handed it to Yuan Dingfang when she was done, but Yuan Dingfang refused with a smile: "I have a thick skin, so I don't need it. You can keep it."

The two walked from morning to evening, seeing that the sky was getting dark.

Chen Zhuxia asked, "Where are we going to rest?"

Yuan Dingfang looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Find a drier cave. Or a cave dwelling."

After the two discussed it, they began to investigate.Their location at this time is probably in the western part of Shaanxi, and there are indeed cave dwellings.

The two searched for a long time, and finally decided to rest in a drier cave dwelling.Yuan Dingfang blocked the entrance of the cave with stones, and the two took out the quilt and moisture-proof mat and spread them on the ground. In order to keep warm, the two squeezed together without avoiding suspicion.At the beginning, Yuan Dingfang was a little embarrassed and repulsed, but later seeing that Chen Zhuxia really didn't care, he was relieved. Now is an extraordinary period, and many previous moral laws should be abandoned.

Outside the cave, the night wind kept blowing like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

It was cloudy and cold in the cave, and it was impossible to sleep at all.

"Try to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow." Yuan Dingfang said in a hoarse voice.His words were ordinary but somewhat soothing.Chen Zhuxia felt that there was no water in the kettle, and took out two more bottles of water from the space.

Now the two are supported by the food stored in Chen Zhuxia's space, and only eat two meals a day.The water is free to drink, because there is spring water in the space.

"You never questioned me about taking out food out of thin air?" Chen Zhuxia asked with a smile, her tone was probing and doubtful, but she actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Yuan Dingfang still looked indifferent: "You can take out food, that's your good fortune. This ring must have had many owners before you, but they don't have this ability, only you have it. This shows that it There is a fate with you, and it is useless for others to think about it."

Chen Zhuxia said with a smile: "Who says no, it's a pity that some people don't believe it." Both of them thought of Hu Feng who died with regret.

"Actually, I thought you would let Hu Feng go. After all, girls are always soft-hearted."

"I like to have a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and revenge for revenge and kindness for kindness."

"This is how a person should be." Yuan Dingfang praised.

……

The conversation between the two became more and more intense.The topic gradually extended to various life experiences and revolutionary family history.

"My family has a family motto—"

"Appreciate further details."

"That is—never greedy for things that don't belong to you."

"so,"

Yuan Dingfang turned his face away, his hot breath lingered around her face, and his tone was sincere: "You don't have to guard against me, you can do whatever you want."

Chen Zhuxia turned her face slightly, lowered her head and smiled, in fact, since the day she decided to trust Yuan Dingfang, she no longer guarded against him.

Yuan Dingfang also felt Chen Zhuxia's discomfort, and he moved his body away without any trace.

"Don't move, the gap in the middle is getting bigger and bigger." Chen Zhuxia giggled, her crisp laughter was especially loud in the silent night.Yuan Dingfang also laughed.The two regained the previous boundary again, resisting the cold and slowly falling asleep.

Chen Zhuxia thought, in fact, she can hide in the space, which is much warmer than the outside.But Yuan Dingfang can't get in, and she hides in the space whenever she encounters difficulties, what if the space is gone in the future?Now is her chance to exercise herself. In the last days, she needs to become stronger both physically and mentally to adapt to this broken world.

What is it to endure cold and hunger?There are many people in this world who can't even enjoy these two, because they have fallen into permanent darkness and cold.

When most people are dying, living, no matter how difficult it is, is a supreme enjoyment.Thinking of this, Chen Zhuxia's body suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force, and his stiff body seemed to warm up.It was an extremely strong desire to survive.

Yuan Dingfang on the side seemed to sense Chen Zhuxia's movement, and persuaded in a hoarse voice: "Don't think too much, go to sleep quickly."

The two slept and woke up until dawn.

The weather outside the cave was as gloomy and oppressive as yesterday, and the cold wind was still howling.

Chen Zhuxia took out a small pot to boil water and noodles, Yuan Dingfang picked up firewood from outside, and the two of them poured soup and noodles into their stomachs together, and their bodies gradually warmed up.They packed up their things, straightened their clothes, and started on their way again.

In the evening, a plane circled back and forth in mid-air.The two looked up at the plane, feeling a strange feeling in their hearts.

"I remember Li Junhao said that his cousin promised to send a helicopter to pick him up, so it could be him." Yuan Dingfang said.

"Never mind him, he's not picking us up anyway." Chen Zhuxia looked meaningless.

"It seems that his cousin should be a powerful second-generation official. At this time, there are not many people who can command helicopters." When Yuan Dingfang said this, there was no envy in his tone, only a touch of worry.

Chen Zhuxia asked mischievously: "Why, do you regret not staying to climb this big tree?" Yuan Dingfang didn't answer but just smiled calmly.After a moment of silence, he narrowed his eyes and said, "How much do you think Li Jun and Li Junhao know about you?"

Chen Zhuxia's heart couldn't help sinking, and she said slowly: "At that time, although Hu Feng identified you, the actual target was me. The two of them are not stupid, so they naturally understand the reason."

Yuan Dingfang let out a long sigh: "Maybe we shouldn't be soft-hearted, the two of them might be another ticking time bomb if they keep it."

Chen Zhuxia also felt this way. In fact, she had thought of getting rid of the two of them at the time. However, the people who harmed her were Qin Yunshi and Hu Feng. Although Li Junhao protected Hu Feng, he did not hurt her. She really couldn't do it. .

She comforted herself: "Those two people still have basic principles. I'm really not used to being the first to act first. Only when someone hurts me can I do it with peace of mind. I can't pass this test myself."

Yuan Dingfang laughed, "We are the same people."

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time. Who knows what will happen tomorrow."
