Chapter 37： on the road

The pre-apocalyptic pre-apocalyptic area of ​​the base had few vehicles, but there were no vehicles blocking the road. But because no one has cleaned up and maintained it after the end of the world, the snow is still there, the whole world is a white piece, and most of the original road signs have been crushed by the heavy snow. If you are not careful, you will lose your way.

Driving in this environment requires full attention and avoids snow blindness, so Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze will change positions every once in a while, trying to avoid letting one person drive the car for too long.

Near noon, Ye Xuan stopped at a gas station according to the map, preparing to take a break and have lunch before continuing on his way.

The gas station is not large. Apart from a gas station, there is only a small supermarket. Ye Xuan carefully paid attention to it and parked the car at the entrance of the supermarket without hearing any voices.

"It's finally here, don't get out of the car, I'll take a look."

There is a lot of resistance in places without cars, and places where cars pass by are easy to slip. This road is much more difficult than walking with the army convoy before. Ling Jiaze has been in the car all morning and really feels that it will be difficult to travel after the apocalypse. He jumped out of the car and walked around the supermarket first, and also checked the restroom of the staff on the side, and came out and said, "A staff member in the supermarket turned into a zombie, his head was chopped off, his body was in the restroom, and the food in the supermarket was eaten. A lot of them were taken away, the water, instant noodles, sausages, etc. were all gone, and some puffed food that was not easy to carry was left, and it is estimated that they were all taken away by the survivors.”

Ye Xuan nodded, and took out the portable light-energy stove and some ingredients from the space, "Then let's eat in the supermarket, or maybe we will eat in the wilderness or make a living in the car in the future. already."

Some people's rest stops, they eat too well and easily attract people's attention. If they don't go to the rest stops, they can only cook in the open air on the road or in a place where there is no snow. Such a rest place with no one is really good for them. It is impossible to find, so Ye Xuan still cherishes this opportunity to eat a freshly made hot soup and hot rice.

Ling Jiaze didn't have much cooking skills, nor was he polite to Ye Xuan, "Okay, then you cook first, and I'll load the oil."

In the period after the end of the world, Ling Jiaze has become very proficient in collecting gasoline and diesel from the gas station. He took the oil barrel that Ye Xuan found for him from the space, and used the ability to freeze the oil pipe and barrel to make sure that he didn't have to look at it himself. lock up.

After observing the situation near the gas station, the tank was just full. He melted the ice, screwed the lid of the oil drum and waited for Ye Xuan to come over after a while and put it in the space. He ran to Ye Xuan who was cooking and said, "I just noticed the rut near the gas station and found a few cars. It was heading north, not towards the base, and it seems to have been under pressure for a while, and it is estimated that it is the survivor of this gas station."

"It should be, I just took a look. Although this gas station has some food, it has no electricity, no air conditioning, and no other heating facilities. It is normal for them to leave here to find a place to live before the base comes to search. It's been a long time, maybe they've driven a long way."

"That's true." Ling Jiaze sat next to the stove, carefully looked at the map he just took out of the car, and said with some disappointment, "We set off from the base around eight o'clock, it is twelve o'clock, and we drove for four hours. My car has only traveled 100 kilometers, can it be done in an hour before the end of the world? At this speed, how much more than 1,000 kilometers will it take for a whole week?"

"A whole week?" Ye Xuan said helplessly: "The only trouble we encountered this morning was the snow, we didn't encounter a series of traffic accidents blocking the road, we didn't encounter a collapsed mountain that destroyed the road, and we didn't encounter a cracked road. , How long do you think we will go when we meet those?"

When Ye Xuan said this, Ling Jiaze realized that he thought a little bit. Thinking of the guardrails that were collapsed and frozen by the snow, and the cracks on both sides of the road, he sighed, "Oh, it's me too much. You're in a hurry, let's go."

"Don't talk about that, the noodles are cooked, let's eat first."

Time is still in his space, so Ye Xuan made a lot of food in advance, and also prepared a lot of semi-finished products. It is very convenient to make soup or stew. At this moment, he took out the chicken soup that had been simmered before, cooked chicken noodle soup as the main dish, and fried vegetarian dishes, which was considered a nutritionally balanced meal.

——

After lunch, Ye Xuan was still driving, Ling Jiaze was sitting in the co-pilot practicing his abilities, and by the way, he paid attention to the road conditions for Ye Xuan.

Ling Jiaze was playing with the ice that he had condensed, when he suddenly saw a smear of red in the vast white area in front of him. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and realized that the smear of red was not his illusion, and quickly said to Ye Xuan, "It seems that the front is in front of him. There are people, or there is a car in the distance!"

Ye Xuan's original attention was on the road in front of the car. After hearing this, he looked into the distance and saw a long-haired woman in red clothes standing in the snow on the side of the road. The car later waved to them.

Ling Jiaze also saw clearly that it was a person at this time. He looked at his watch and said with a little happiness when he saw the survivors: "We drove for more than an hour, and we ran about 20 kilometers. I remember from the map before. I saw a village nearby, could this woman be a survivor of the village?"

Ye Xuan did not see the joy of seeing people, he frowned and looked at the woman in red in the distance, and said vigilantly: "Judging from the situation where the snow is being crushed, there are not many people who can walk on this road in a day. If it is a survivor in the village, what are you doing here at this time?"

"That's true." After being reminded by him, Ling Jiaze also woke up from the joy of seeing the survivors suddenly, and calmly analyzed: "Why don't you do this? When you are close to her, you can slow down a little bit, and I will open the window and ask. Let's find out what happened to her, lest we miss it so much if someone really asks for help."

He is not a virgin, but there are not many people on this road in a day. If the woman is really in trouble, and the two of them choose to turn a blind eye, and in the end the woman will die here like this, Ling Jiaze will not be too comfortable.

"Okay, listen to you!"

During the conversation, the car came not far from the woman, Ling Jiaze lowered the window and asked loudly, "What's the matter with you?"

The woman was wearing a short red down jacket with a plaid woolen skirt and black leggings, and was standing shivering by the side of the road. Hearing Ling Jiaze's voice, she waved her hand vigorously at the two of them, and said with a pleading face, "Please help me, I was thrown here by my companions!"

After speaking, she looked at Ling Jiaze with tears in her eyes. A gust of wind blew through her. She seemed to be extremely cold. She hurriedly tightened the down jacket on her body, but accidentally released her hand because her fingers were stiff, revealing the thin black body underneath. Bottoming shirts, and attractive curves.

Ling Jiaze: ...

Ye Xuan, who was originally focused on driving, glanced at her, and was inadvertently swayed by the metal exposed in the snow under the road. He looked her up and down with eyes, snorted coldly, stepped on the accelerator to speed up and left without leaving a word for this woman.

Although Ling Jiaze is not very old, because of the family environment, he has seen a lot of this kind of 'showing himself' tricks. It is natural to see that the woman just did it on purpose. It's their own ability to use small tricks to climb on others, Ling Jiaze doesn't care, but if you want to use this to climb on him, then forget it.

He was a little nauseous by this coquettish trick, and lost the sympathy he had at the beginning. Seeing Ye Xuan speeding away, he didn't say anything, but silently raised the car window, still a little secretive in his heart. happy.

Whether Ye Xuan sees through this kind of scheming, or ignores this woman, he is very happy.

Ye Xuan didn't know his mental activity, so he drove past the small area with all his attention and said, "I just saw a reflection of metal in the snow on the side of the road. I guess there are people inside. I don't know how many people there are, so I just said No sound."

On both sides of this road are cornfields that are high in people. After the heavy snowfall, the snow and corn stalks mixed together to form a large snowdrift that is more than one meter high. There is no problem in hiding more than a dozen people. Although the two of them can fight, the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes. If the number of people on the other side is beyond control, it will not be good for the two of them to capsize in this gutter.

So he simply pretended not to like that woman, didn't entangle with them, and left before they could react. As long as they leave the cornfield where I don't know how many people are ambushed, and remove the risk of being dumped, even if the other party wants to tear up their faces and catch up, the two of them don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy.

Thinking of the trap just now, Ling Jiaze said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you noticed it!"

"And there are ruts on the ground. After passing that opening, there are fewer ruts on the ground. I guess someone got off the road there. It's just that people who can't go to the village or the store can't go off the road. I'm afraid they are forced to go off the road. Confirmed my guess."

Ling Jiaze sighed: "It's a pity that the previous passerby, fortunately, Ye Xuan, you have a lot of knowledge, otherwise the two of us would be talking today."

After the end of the apocalypse, Ye Xuan often encountered such roadblocks and carjackings. If he hadn't considered that people's hearts might not be so bad soon after the end of the apocalypse, and wanted Ling Jiaze to have more experience, he wouldn't even slow down.

Afraid that Ling Jiaze would think too much, Ye Xuan explained: "Many years ago, there were such examples of women and children rushing out of the road to block the road, or throwing animals directly to force drivers to stop. It was not until later that monitoring became popular. The end of the world is coming, monitoring and other things will not work, and the legal constraints will be poor, so I will remember this kind of case from a long time ago, and I will take more precautions."

"That's right, now that the end of the world has come, I really have a feeling that I have a dream back to decades ago, and the whole world has gone backwards."

Seeing his appearance as a little adult, Ye Xuan couldn't help teasing him: "Decades ago? Was there no you at that time?"

Ling Jiaze retorted: "I heard about it! I haven't seen it with my own eyes, haven't I heard of it? Let me tell you, when I was at Grandpa's house..."
