Chapter 39： be wary

Before going to bed, Ye Xuan, who thought that there were two people and two quilts, was slapped in the face by himself. When he woke up, one unfortunate quilt was kicked under the bed by the two of them, and the other one survived. The quilt was tightly wrapped by the two of them, and the two adult men were very technically wrapped without the air leaking in to wake him up in the middle of the night. It can be said that a small double quilt is the pinnacle of life.

Looking at Ling Jiaze, who was still sleeping peacefully in his arms after changing the quilt in his sleep, Ye Xuan, who was still awake, suddenly realized that it was not the first time that he and Ling Jiaze woke up in the same quilt. .

One, two, three... He didn't even know how many times this was the first time.

Thinking of the night when the two of them were on their way to the base more than half a month ago, he would wake up because Ling Jiaze bumped into him in his sleep, and even nearly injured him subconsciously. It's only half a month now. Due to various conditions, the two of them were forced to share a bed. He actually let down his guard so completely that he didn't even know that someone ran into his arms in the middle of the night, so Ye Xuan could only do it. Feeling used to this terrible thing.

In just half a month, he was able to let go of the vigilance he had cultivated for ten years. He really didn't know whether he should say that he was shattered by the comfort of this period of time, or whether he was completely comfortable with Ling Jiaze being by his side. It took a few days for him to freely enter the territory without any defense.

The former is not a good thing, he can't say whether the latter is a good thing or not, it's not a bad thing anyway.

Seriously, the only benefit is that he doesn't have to worry that he will hurt Ling Jiaze again because of his subconscious actions. He really didn't want to experience the matter of almost killing his friend while half asleep.

"Well—" Because during this period of time, they had to get up early every day to travel, Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze both developed a biological clock to wake up early. Ye Xuan only woke up for a few minutes when Ling Jiaze made a sound, obviously waking up soon.

Sure enough, after about a minute or so, Ling Jiaze opened his eyes in a daze, saw Ye Xuan leaning beside him, instinctively leaned towards him, raised his head and asked, "What time is it?"

Xu was just waking up, Ling Jiaze's voice was extraordinarily soft, his intonation was long, and it sounded like he was acting like a spoiled child.

Ye Xuan was a little itchy at his voice, and when he saw his white chest unconsciously exposed, he felt a little hot. He turned his face away in embarrassment, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll make breakfast before seven o'clock. If you're sleepy, you can sleep for a while."

"No," Ling Jiaze bit his lip and struggled out of the thick quilt. He quickly put on the thick coat that was thrown aside, and said, "I heard several cars passing by before I went to bed last night, and it was still faint. When I heard someone talking, I guess they were passing by this place for a night. You cook, and I'll find out where they came from. "

"I'm going to inquire after washing up, shall I? I'll take out the wontons that I've wrapped before. After you wash them, cook them. Eat something hot for breakfast." Ling Jiaze was less talkative and often showed a cold face to outsiders, so normal communication was no problem. But it's not enough to ask the news to make a statement. On the contrary, although he is not a good person, he has a lot of experience in dealing with people. As long as he is determined, it is easy for people to let go of their guard.

Anyway, there is no technical content in cooking wontons. Even if Ling Jiaze is not very good at cooking, there is no problem in cooking wontons next to dumplings.

Ling Jiaze happily agreed, "Then you go, I'll boil water and wait for you."

Before and after the apocalypse, he was not someone who was good at dealing with people. Before the apocalypse, he had no intention of changing, let alone a post-apocalyptic person who didn't need to deal with people very much.

Ye Xuan thought about the number of cars he heard yesterday, and said, "I may have to turn around for a while. If you're hungry, just eat first."

"Oh," Ling Jiaze responded, neither agreeing nor opposing.

…

—

Ye Xuan simply washed up, changed his clothes and went out.

Coincidentally, there was a group of people living in the courtyard opposite the two of them last night. As soon as Ye Xuan went out, he saw that the door of the opposite courtyard was wide open, and a burly man in sportswear was cleaning the car in the courtyard. of snow.

The two of them met each other, Ye Xuan took the lead and said, "This eldest brother, my friend and I passed by this village yesterday and stayed across from you for the night. Did you pass through here too?"

He has a good skin, and when he smiles slightly, it is easy for people to let down their guard. Although the man in the courtyard did not completely let down his guard, he smiled back and said, "We were passing by too. It was getting late, so we stayed here for the night. No, we have to pack up and leave early in the morning."

"The two of us went north to B city to find relatives. Big brother, which direction did you come from? I'm afraid that I've been walking a long way in the past two days. I rarely see a car traveling. I want to ask you which way is nearby. It’s easier to walk, so you don’t have to take a long detour and delay the reunion with your family.”

Ye Xuan said his destination first. The man thought about it and felt that his destination had nothing to hide, not to mention that the roads around the village were in two directions. After a while, you can go out of the village to see if anyone is on the same road as you. Knowing where the other party was going, he answered Ye Xuan's words without hesitation, "We are also heading north, but we can't give you directions."

The man didn't mention the matter of walking together, and Ye Xuan didn't take the initiative to move up. He said simply: "This way...then I won't waste the time of my eldest brother, I'll go back first, we'll see you again!"

The man was also very satisfied with Ye Xuan's neatness without entanglement, and simply replied: "Goodbye by fate!"

After leaving the yard, Ye Xuan walked around the neighborhood again, quietly observing the motorcade that came last night, and then went to the area where the villagers lived. A few packs of dehydrated vegetables were exchanged for the crystal cores collected by the villagers, and some unremarkable firewood was exchanged to carry them all the way back, lest the people in the convoy would become suspicious when they saw him in the village early in the morning.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Xuan saw Ling Jiaze, who was wearing an apron and sitting on the small bench beside the induction cooker, staring at the boiling pot on the stove. He was so serious that people who didn't know he thought he was doing something. An important chemical experiment, or something like a big weapon that will destroy the world in the next second.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why are you still waiting for me to come back?"

"It's boring to eat alone. I don't feel hungry. I'll wait for you to come back." Ling Jiaze asked while putting wontons in the pot, "Have you been out for so long, did you ask anything?"

"I know something." Ye Xuan put the firewood in his arms into the space, and after washing his hands, sat by the induction cooker and took over Ling Jiaze's task of making wontons. "The whole convoy that came yesterday was mostly from the army. There are a few people who seem to have strong collective consciousness. They are estimated to be people from a certain base. They also want to go to the north, but they have no plans to go with us. "

Although none of the people I saw today were wearing military uniforms, Ye Xuan could easily see their origins from their little gestures, such as their tall and straight posture, as if they had measured their pace... A To say that this person is someone like Ling Jiaze who has lived in the army or someone in his family is a soldier, and a whole group of people is like this, it can only be a person in the army.

Moreover, Ye Xuan deduced that this group of people would most likely be elite soldiers before the apocalypse, otherwise their aura would not be so strong. Take the man he met for the first time. Although he was not a power user, Ye Xuan felt that he was much more difficult to deal with than some first-order power users, and the zombie blood on his hands was absolutely indispensable.

"If you don't go with us, you won't go. Although everyone is going north, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are going in one direction. If you don't go with us, you can save time because of disputes over route selection!" Ling Jiaze muttered softly before saying: " But I remember that there doesn't seem to be any suitable place to build a base in the north, and the survivors I met on the road didn't say there was any big base nearby, where do you think they would go north?"

After the end of the world, cities with many people have basically fallen into paradise for zombies or dead cities, and most of the survivors are forced to leave the center of the city. Villages and towns that are far from cities and have a vacuum zone with few people are more suitable for building bases. However, small villages and towns can accommodate fewer people, and large enough villages and towns are not easy to find. For example, building a base in a nearby military region like City C is more convenient. It is unpredictable. So they looked at the map to understand the distribution of the population here before the apocalypse, and it was about the same as to guess where there was a base.

This large area is all farmland. Although there are several villages in the farmland, it is still too difficult to form a base. Ling Jiaze thinks that there will be no large-scale base nearby.

"By the way!" He suddenly got up and took the map from behind him, pointed to a place surrounded by Ye Xuan and said, "Do you think it is possible for them to go to Pingzhen? If the news received by the base in C city is really the end of the world After that, it is very likely that it will also be sent to other bases. If the base in City C does not send people, it does not mean that other bases will not send people. They will probably send a team to check the situation!"

Ye Xuan, who still felt that the place name Xiangping Town was familiar, looked at the route he planned, estimated the distance between the small village and Xiangping Town, and calculated the driving speed for the past two days. If the road goes north, we can reach Xiangping Town in at least one day and two days at the most, and when we arrive in the town, we will know what is going on."

Ling Jiaze filled a bowl of wontons and said vaguely, "I hope that the news was really sent out after the end of the world, so that people from all regions can meet and learn more about the situation across the country. By the way, if they also go to Pingzhen, will we be on the same road with them?"

Ye Xuan said casually: "It should be the same road, but everyone's departure time is different, and it may not necessarily meet."

However, he didn't expect it to be so coincidental!
