(); Update time:--
Gazing at the Yiyang forest tens of meters away from the river beach in the distance, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked up at the sky. It was just before dusk, when the sunset was beautiful, and the tile-blue sky was still as bright as a sapphire. Too much heat was consumed during the day, not as dazzling as at noon, but deep red, under the blowing of the river wind, looking at the sunset in the distance has a poetic artistic conception, walking on the flat and wide land, looking at the seemingly The boundless vegetation, like walking in the grassland, really echoes the two ancient poems: the desert is solitary, the sun is setting in the long river.
Not long after walking, a small path appeared in front of them. When they reached the road, many people felt a little dazed. They were completely immersed in the beauty of the sunset on the plain. As soon as they reached the road, they jumped back from the comfort of the wild to the reality, and there was a sudden change. Let most people lose their minds, and then they thought that they were not traveling in autumn, but in the dangerous last days, performing tasks of unknown life and death.
When we reached the path, reeds grew on both sides. Last year’s reeds hadn’t been harvested yet, but this year’s reeds have grown again. A large number of old reeds lay down by the side of the channel, like piles of dry graves, dry graves Among them, the reeds grow lush and luxuriant, which seems to prove the meaning of life.
There are many short trees on both sides of the road, and the trees are not high. Anyone who stands under the tree and jumps can climb to the tall branches. Built with dead branches, the bird's nest is the same as the abandoned folk houses after the end of the world. When the birds go to the nest, it's empty. I don't know what kind of birds are left behind. Of course, I don't know whether these birds have mutated or been eliminated by the end of the world.
Looking around, he couldn't find the village buildings in the first place. Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little curious. Before the end of the world, apart from the barren neighbors and uninhabited wasteland, there were very few uninhabited open spaces on the edge of big cities. At the end of the road, there is a small forest to many exposed corners of the walls and tile roofs.
With buildings, there is no need to set up tents on the wasteland. The walls surrounded by red bricks are safer than tarpaulins. Zhang Xiaoqiang led people to the village, but in Huangquan, he led five people out of the building hidden in the woods, and led them to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang scanned around and found that Chen Ye and the other five teammates were not there. He presumably went to investigate elsewhere.
Two groups of people, one big and one small, met in the middle of the road. Huang Quan walked quickly to Zhang Xiaoqiang and stood at attention, then reported:
"Brother Cockroach...the village over there has been abandoned for a long time. There is no furniture in the house, and there is not a single zombie. It should be before the end of the world that the residents here have already moved."
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded before answering, the local militiamen behind him gave explanations.
"I remembered, what Luozhou is this place called? There was a flood in nine years, and everything here was flooded..."
"Yeah, yeah...it seems to be in the newspapers, all the people here are relocated..."
"I've been on a boat before, and people from Jiang'an used to come to this island to farm..."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded to Huang Quan. There are no zombies here because no one becomes a zombie here. The only place where there are zombies is the ship cemetery that we visited before. Everyone knows the reason for the purpose of the ship. When the end of the world comes, the crew is not To become a zombie is to be eaten by the zombies, the ship is out of control, and the out-of-control ship is carrying goods and zombie crews drifting along the river. Except for the ones that hit the coast, almost all the ships that can float down hit this natural backwater beach.
It was almost six o'clock, and although it was only Mid-Autumn Festival, it was not too late for nightfall. There was still about an hour before the sky would be completely dark. Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered his men to set up camp in the abandoned small village.
Piles of bonfires are lit in the woods. The fuel is dead branches. Here, dead branches and dry reeds can be seen everywhere. Large pots stand on the bonfires and emit white smoke. The expressions in front of the bonfire also became a bit more energetic. Hearing the sound of water gurgling in the cauldron, the smell of porridge rushed into everyone's noses, making them smell the fragrance of rice porridge and feel the rare comfort at this moment.
A gust of river wind blows over the bonfire, causing the flames to rise, and sparks separate from the flames and roll towards the people sitting in front of the fire. Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is very hot during the day, and at night, there is a river wind blowing , Everyone surrounded by the fire only felt the warmth, not the heat.
In this temporary camp, people who sat on the boat regardless of each other during the day consciously divided into three groups, one for the militia, one for the regular team members, and one for Zhang Xiaoqiang and his women.
Huang Quan and Chen Ye were with the team members. The chef was Chen Ye. Unlike those men, Chen Ye threw the rice into the pot and left it alone. She stirred the pot with a long spoon to prevent the wheat from sticking to the pot. At the bottom of the pot, Huang Quan was fascinated by the raging bonfire, and beside him, the soldiers sitting around maintained their weapons and equipment.
There were not many people sitting around the fire, and the team was Zhang Xiaoqiang's sharp knife, but also Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes and nose. They had to guard outside, guard the boat, and someone had to bring them food.
"Okay... let's eat..." Chen Ye's cold words made everyone focus on the cauldron, and they took out their own metal lunch boxes. After Chen Ye carefully served Huang Quan with porridge, he put the Pass the long spoon to someone else.
Huang Quan took the golden wheat porridge, and drank it with the pickles on the lid. He waited until the sound of drinking porridge was heard one after another, but he didn't hear Chen Ye's movement, and looked up. Chen Ye hugged her knees, tilted her head and stared at the flames in a daze, a strand of hair hanging from Chen Ye's forehead covered her eyes, and the masked black scarf covered her cheeks. What kind of expression is it.
"What's the matter? Why don't you eat it? It tastes good, try it?"
Huang Quan had long regarded Chen Ye as his own relative, and if Chen Ye didn't eat it, he wouldn't be able to eat it either.
Chen Ye shook his head, put his forehead on his knees and buried his face, Huang Quan didn't know what happened to Chen Ye, he was a little anxious, recalling what was wrong with Chen Ye during the day, suddenly, he thought that as long as he was eating, Chen Ye was out of his mind.
"Are you worried about the girls Xiaoshuang and Shuangshuang? It's okay. They won't be hungry. The food in the big kitchen tastes good. Someone will cook a small stove for them. It's not like you don't know that girl Xiaoshuang. Before I picked her up, She also feeds her own younger sister, you know, many big men are starving to death, she is a smart ghost, there is no way she will be hungry."
Hearing what Huang Quan said, Chen Ye raised his head and stared at Huang Quan's eyes, as if he was trying to judge the authenticity. Huang Quan was naturally fearless, looking at Chen Ye's bright black crystal eyes without blinking, Chen Ye tilted his head and thought about it In one fell swoop, grab Huang Quan's lunch box:
"Mine..." After Chen Ye said, he lifted the corner of the black scarf and drank the porridge.
Huang Quan didn't care that his lunch box was snatched by Chen Ye. On the contrary, he was very pleased that Chen Ye ate with him in front of outsiders, which proved that the distance between the two had taken a big step. However, Huang Quan and Chen Ye's masked face The black cloth always felt that it was an eyesore, and for a while, he made a decision that even he himself could not have imagined. He reached out and tore off the black cloth on Chen Ye's face, and threw it on the fire.
