The arrival of doomsday has led to the paralysis of all modern human facilities.
Without that waste and optical pollution, the night sky clears up.
Above the firmament, the stars are shifting, and the stars are shining with their eternal light, staring indifferently at all the joys and sorrows of the earth.
Chu Qianxun was wrapped in a blanket and rested against the wall outside the earthen house.
She wrapped Feng Qianqian and herself together.
In her previous life, her physique had not been improved by the Demon Seed, and she was wearing very unreliable thin clothes, which made her extremely cold at night.
Feng Qianqian took the initiative to sleep in her arms like this, and also made a particularly warm excuse.
"Since my mother went to heaven, I haven't slept with a girl." At that time, she always said this while curling her warm little body into Chu Qianxun's cold arms.
Chu Qianxun gently touched the sleeping little girl and felt the same temperature as in the previous life.
Looking at the stars above her head, she remembered every bit of the ten years in her previous life.
She once thought that her life in the past was full of misery and darkness, without a trace of light.
Who knows now that when I think about it carefully, most of the things that can impress me are those extremely subtle warmth.
It is like the light dotted with stars in the night, although it is small, it is more memorable than the entire dark night sky.
Biquge
It turned out that when she was starving and cold, and fell into the mud on the side of the road, she received a dough cake from a doctor.
He was also seriously injured in a coma on the battlefield. When he was on the verge of death, Gao Yan, who came back to clean the battlefield, dragged him out of the pile of dead people with a look of disgust.
There have also been times when I stole materials and was almost killed, but got a stranger to help me...
Thinking of it this way, it wasn't all bad, Chu Qianxun thought to himself.
Feng Junlei was sitting by the fire, busy cutting some steamed sweet potatoes into pieces, spread them on a bamboo strip, and baked them on the fire, ready to bake these sweet potatoes into dry food to eat on the road.
Gao Yan and Gan Xiaodan were still around the crock pot, and the two of them were busy cooking the remaining chicken, breaking it into shreds, and frying it in the crock pot to make chicken floss.
"Did Chihiro say it was fried like this? Did I make a mistake?"
"It should be, it seems that the meat is a little loose, and it looks a little bit."
The heads of the two girls rubbed together, staring at the large pot of shredded pork that was tossed and fried in the crock pot.
Afraid of disturbing the rest of Chu Qianxun, who had been busy for a long time, they whispered to each other carefully.
"You and Qianxun go to the same school. They are both college students. She knows everything, but you don't know anything." Gao Yan complained.
"What does this have to do with academic qualifications? Schools don't teach these, so you can try it?" Gan Xiaodan was dissatisfied, and handed over the wood chips that were used as spatulas.
"No, no, I can't, I can't. I don't know how to cook, so Xiaodan, you should come. In case you get confused, you won't have anything to eat on the road tomorrow."
Chu Qianxun closed his eyes and listened to his companion's muttering, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.
The last time she was on this road, she was too weak, almost at the bottom of the society, and most of what she saw was the darkest and cruelest side of human nature.
She is much stronger now, and the people around her are full of awe and gratitude for her, and strange villains don't dare to go too far in front of her.
Therefore, walking on the same road is a bit warmer and more comfortable than the panic and confusion last time.
There were some fine noises in the bushes in the distance, and the vegetation shook violently.
Chu Qianxun opened her eyes, she shoved the sleeping Feng Qianqian into Feng Junlei's hand, raised her knife and probed carefully towards the position.
The tip of the knife separated the bushes. There was a simple mechanism on the grass. One branch was stuck on the ground, and the other end was frozen by a small lump of ice. The ice melted, and the branches bounced up and moved the grass.
ice
Chu Qianxun frowned as she looked at the residual ice on the ground.
She looked back at the bonfire, and sure enough, a thin figure rushed out from the cover. It was a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old boy. Three ice picks shot out of his body and went straight to the few people on the side of the fire. .
Feng Junlei responded quickly and blocked with the blade in his hand, smashing the ice pick to the ground.
Gao Yan dodged the ice pick that shot at her,
Gan Xiaodan's reaction was slow, and he was hit by the ice pick on the arm.
There was a slight pain in her arm, and the ice pick snapped and shattered. Apart from giving her a shock, it didn't do any real harm to her.
Taking advantage of the time they were evading, the boy grabbed two roasted sweet potatoes on the ground and ran quickly to where they came from.
Gao Yan quickly grabbed him, "Don't run, little bastard, how can the food that I have worked so hard to get cheap for you?"
The boy did not hesitate to bite Gao Yan's hand.
Gao Yan was in pain and shook off her hand. A bloody tooth mark had already been bitten out on the back of her hand.
The boy was already a junior saint, and his movements were very agile. As soon as Gao Yan let go, he rushed back into the bushes in a flash.
But one man was faster than him.
Chu Qianxun twisted his arm with one hand, grabbed his neck with the other, and pressed him to the ground.
"Beat him, Qianxun, this little thief is not a good thing!" Gao Yan was very angry.
The boy struggled desperately, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Chu Qianxun subconsciously tightened his grip on his neck.
In the apocalypse, she would generally not show mercy to a person who hated her ability, no matter whether the person was a child or an old man.
Teenagers of this age need to be more vigilant in the apocalypse. Their worldview was formed in the cruelest era. They have the power to hurt people, but there is no bottom line between right and wrong. They are often more vicious and able to hold grudges than adults.
The boy was out of breath, his face flushed with blood, and he stretched out his hand to squeeze Chu Qianxun's palm, showing a begging expression.
"Don't do this, Qianxun, he will be strangled by you."
"Sister Qianxun, don't, this is still a child."
"Sister Qianxun."
Chu Qianxun slowly let go of her hand, she felt that her heart was not as hard as it used to be, and there was really no way to kill at this time.
Since it can't be solved completely, she doesn't want to offend people too deeply.
This is an ice-type power user who was awakened at the first time. Don't look at his current ice pick without attacking power, but as long as he lives, it won't take long, even if he is still young, he will become a person who no one dares to do. provocative powerhouse.
The boy stood up, coughed violently for a while, and slowly stepped back, but his eyes fell on the squashed sweet potatoes that fell on the ground several times.
Gao Yan hissed his teeth, touched the teeth marks on his hands, and said displeasedly: "Take it away, little beggar. You can't eat it anyway."
The boy stared at them closely, squatted down and reached out his hand carefully, picking up the two squashed sweet potatoes in his hands. Hiding in a corner to one side, he ate in big gulps. He was obviously hungry for a long time, swallowed too fast, almost choked several times, and tried to swallow with his neck straight.
Feng Junlei used an iron bowl found in the earthen house, filled a bowl of water for boiling sweet potatoes, and brought it to the boy.
The boy took it, gurgled a few mouthfuls, and looked at Feng Junlei several times, and gradually he was no longer covered in thorns like at the beginning.
"What's your name? Where are your parents?" Feng Junlei asked.
"Xiaojie, Jiang Xiaojie. My father is a gambler. When the green moon appeared, he was still at the gambling table and refused to get off the table. His servant turned into a monster and killed him." The boy spoke, The eyes on the thin face were faintly tinged with red.
"What about your mother?" Feng Qianqian lay on her father's back, showing her small face, "Are you without a mother like me?"
The red in Jiang Xiaojie's eyes subsided, leaving only a circle of black and blue that lacked sleep, he spat down, "That woman doesn't care about me at all, when the end came, she got into her concubine's car in a panic. She ran away, no matter how much I chased after her and yelled at her, she didn't stop."
Feng Junlei is a man who is both a father and a mother who has brought up his daughter. Her daughter is more important to him than his own life. He can't understand that there are parents who don't care about their children in this world.
Feng Qianqian took it out of her pocket and took out half a piece of leftover chocolate. The little girl Bai Nen held the brown chocolate in her hands and handed it forward: "Brother, this is for you. Sister Qianxun gave it to me, it's very good. If you eat it, you won't miss your mother anymore."
Jiang Xiaojie looked back and forth on Feng Junlei and Feng Qianqian's faces several times, and suddenly he reached out and grabbed the half of the chocolate, turned and hid in a corner away from them.
Early the next morning, everyone got up and ate the sweet potatoes that had been steamed last night with the water used to boil the sweet potatoes as breakfast.
He also put the prepared meat floss and dried sweet potato into the crock pot. Feng Junlei found a vine, put on the crock pot, and carried it on his back. Before leaving, he took the remaining half The sweet potatoes were distributed to Jiang Xiaojie, who was watching them from a distance.
They returned to the road from the field, and Jiang Xiaojie followed them far behind without saying a word.
"The thief is following, we just eat this, we don't know if we can find it on the road, but we can't give it to him anymore." Gao Yan explained to the others vigilantly.
Feng Qianqian held her father's hand and looked back frequently, but she did not speak.
Perhaps because of the early loss of her mother, she seemed more sensible than children of the same age, and knew not to cause trouble for adults in this situation.
Chu Qian found a commercial car parked on the side of the road outside. She crouched under the car and tossed it for a while, and quickly opened the door. She carried the driver who had been dead for a long time out of the cab, got into the cab and started the vehicle.
The seven-seat car sits a bit looser and can take turns sleeping in the back seat when needed.
The people outside the car were surprised and happy, and they all got in the car.
"Qianxun, you are so capable, you can do anything." Gao Yan did not forget to give Chu Qianxun a few words in time.
"That boy is still following." Gan Xiaodan saw Jiang Xiaojie running after the car through the rearview mirror.
"What is he doing? Does he want to go with us?"
"No, I want to stick to it. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't eat the sweet potatoes."
Everyone looked back at the car, and the little figure behind the car stubbornly followed.
Of course, he couldn't catch up with the speed of the car, and the distance from the car was getting farther and farther.
The thin figure fell on the driveway, then quickly got up and continued running.
It didn't take long for him to fall again, this time he didn't get up, and fell into the dust, motionless.
He finally gave up.
"Qianxun, let's take him for a while. He's just a child. If he is left on the road like this, he won't be able to survive." Feng Junlei couldn't help it.
"In this world, there are too many people who can't survive." Chu Qianxun said coldly.
But her foot slammed on the brakes, put into reverse gear, and reversed the car.
The dust raised by the wheels slapped Jiang Xiaojie's face. Jiang Xiaojie raised his face from the dust and stared blankly at the commercial vehicle parked in front of him.
The glass of the driver's seat came down, revealing an indifferent face. The woman was indifferent and powerful, and could easily snap her neck with one hand. But Jiang Xiaojie really hoped that she could bring herself.
The door was pulled open, and the man and the little girl in the car stretched out their hands to him with a smile.
Chu Qianxun looked at another gray boy in the back seat, not knowing whether to despise this boy or his own overflowing sympathy.
Forget it, it’s not bad anyway, Chu Qianxun thought to himself, take them all to the base in front, and put them there together.
The commercial vehicle went all the way, deviated from the national road, and drove into a vast industrial park.
"Qianxun, did you go the wrong way?" Gan Xiaodan flipped through the map on her phone. She didn't download it in advance, so she couldn't open the road in this area.
"This is a food factory. I'm looking for something to eat." Chu Qianxun stopped the car and found a reason for his behavior.
She jumped out of the car and led the group through a forest in the factory area. There was a terrain drop behind the forest, and a large cistern was built. The pond was originally covered with a cover, but it was damaged by something at this moment. There was some dried-up silt at the bottom of the pool.
Beyond the pool, there is a cement road in the factory area, and there are several large steel structure warehouses on the opposite side of the road.
The door to the warehouse was open, so dark that the bottom could not be seen.
Chu Qianxun looked at the warehouse in silence for a moment, then turned around and started collecting supplies.
She found a truck parked in the factory area, pulled out the gasoline in the fuel tank, and poured it all into the bottom of the reservoir.
Then, a few extremely soft aluminum-plastic strips were placed above the pool, and only a wooden pole that could bear weight was placed in the middle.
She dismantled a large piece of sunshade film from the workshop, covered it on top of the aluminum-plastic strip, and finally sprinkled some dead leaves on the film, making it a huge trap.
"I don't know if there are any monsters inside, so don't go there, Qianxun." Gan Xiaodan looked at the silent factory building, a little scared.
Chu Qianxun didn't speak. She fastened her shoelaces and checked her equipment, showing her firm attitude.
She handed the two hand grenades and the lighter to Feng Junlei: "If a monster follows me out and falls into this trap, you should quickly throw the lighter and hand thunder into it."
Then she stood up and finally explained. "If I don't come out, you can go by yourself."
"I..." Feng Junlei wanted to say that he would go together, but as a father, he was really worried about leaving his daughter outside alone.
"I'll go with you, sister." Jiang Xiaojie said suddenly.
Since Jiang Xiaojie got into the car, like Gao Yan, he has been very active towards Chu Qianxun. He is busy before and after running, not like a teenager at all.
Chu Qianxun regarded his attitude as a manifestation of the weak seeking shelter from the strong.
But she never thought that Jiang Xiaojie would be willing to accompany her on adventures at this time.
Chu Qianxun suddenly realized that he was using his own thinking too much to judge a person.
She patted Jiang Xiaojie on the shoulder: "You are also here waiting for me, I will come when I go."
***
Chu Qianxun sneaked into that warehouse.
The warehouse was in a mess, with trash littered on the ground, and blackened blood smeared everywhere.
The deeper you go, the darker and quieter it will be, and the slightest sound will make a huge echo here.
Chu Qianxun held the gun in his hand and walked forward cautiously.
She heard some faint voices faintly coming.
It seems that something is eating, and it is smashing.
It seems that there is a human being slightly groaning.
She came to a gate that was locked from the outside. There was a thick chain around the gate. A layer of ash had fallen on the chain. It was obvious that it had not been touched for several days.
Chu Qianxun looked in through the slightly opened door, and vaguely saw a few swaying shadows.
