When Shen Shi'an was collecting crystal nuclei in the town, he searched for supplies by the way. In addition to two bags of rice, half a bag of flour, a bucket of cooking oil, and some portable packaged food, I also found a small refrigerator more than one meter high. It should have just been bought not long ago, and it looks at least 90% new. After cleaning and disinfecting, put it into the car, sticking to the back of the driver's seat, just enough to leave a fairly spacious space for the rear seat aisle, connect the power supply through the solar charging panel, and stuff a refrigerator full of things inside.
On the first night when Chen Nan boarded the car, Shen Shi'an took out three bags of frozen buns from the refrigerator, cooked a pot of pumpkin and millet porridge, and roasted six sweet potatoes in the firewood. Before Chen Nan could refuse, he yelled : "Come and eat."
Chen Nan wanted to endure it, but he couldn't. He walked to the campfire and ate a whole bag of steaming meat buns and two fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes that weighed nearly three catties with a bowl of porridge.
At breakfast the next day, Shen Shi'an took out two packs of toast, a box of eggs, a bag of bacon, a bag of ham and three bottles of milk from the refrigerator, and said to Chen Nan, "Two lettuces were born."
Then Chen Nan ate the most delicious and unforgettable super luxurious homemade sandwich in his life.
Lunch is barrel-packed snail noodles. Just pour boiled water on the rice noodles and simmer for three minutes. Drain the water and add bamboo shoots, snails, broth, and seasonings. Add water and simmer for half a minute. Lift the lid and let the steaming heat blow over your face. Here, the red oil is hot, spicy and sour. It is delicious when paired with half a catty of marinated duck legs and tender cucumbers produced by Chen Nan.
When the car stopped in the evening, when Shen Shi'an took out an iron pot and rice from the trunk, and a large piece of frozen meat from the refrigerator, Chen Nan, who could only eat potatoes two days ago, was about to cry: "We, Shall we have dinner tonight?"
Shen Shi'an hummed, and handed him a bag of seeds: "Let's see what kind of vegetables you can give birth to."
That night, shredded pork with green peppers, chives and eggs, stir-fried green vegetables, shredded sweet potatoes, shiny braised pork, and even a pot of seaweed and egg soup, served with a large pot of fragrant white rice. Until he started washing the dishes after eating, Chen Nan still felt unbelievable: Do such days really exist in the last days? Is he eating too many potatoes and eating stupid? Are you really not dreaming
But the aftertaste of the aroma of the food and the warm and satisfying feeling of fullness in the stomach cannot be faked. Compared with the month when they could only eat potatoes, the level of food now has not only leapt, it is like traveling through time and space to cross dimensions. And even the potatoes, which Chen Nan talked about, began to show amazing deliciousness again under Shen Shi'an's cooking skills: vinegar potato shreds, pork ribs stewed potatoes, potato chicken with potatoes, bacon and potato rolls...
Shen Shi'an even specially fried a large bowl of French fries for Shen Xun and Chen Nan as a snack on the trip, dipped in homemade tomato sauce, sweet and sour, delicious, crispy and fragrant.
In just one week, Chen Nan felt that he had gained at least five catties.
At noon that day, Shen Shi'an parked his car beside the road. According to the map, there was a rest stop not far ahead. After saying hello to Shen Shi'an, Chen Nan took a stabbing stick and was going to try his luck at the rest station to see if he could collect supplies or zombie crystal cores—the journey with Shen Shi'an was even more beautiful than imagined , he wants to stay, so all the more should try to prove his role in the journey.
He was lucky. There were about two hundred zombies near the rest station, including nine mutated zombies. With his extraordinary speed and the fighting skills Shen Shi'an gave him, he led the mutated zombies out of the group of zombies and defeated them one by one. The thrilling process suffered a little, but the nine crystal nuclei were all included in the bag in the end.
As for the supplies, he was not so lucky. The supermarket in the rest station had been searched long ago. He used the car horn to lure the zombies out of it, and then turned around. Four cans of Coke were packed in a plastic bag and tied to the backpack strap.
Before returning to the parking lot to take out the things, Shen Shi'an handed him a bowl of strawberries: "Taste it."
The strawberries are cute in shape and well-proportioned, each one is the size of a fist, and the bright red water spirit leaves are green and green, and they look like they have just been picked.
Chen Nan wiped his hand and took one, "Brother Shen, you planted this with your supernatural power?" He bit it down, and immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise: "It's delicious! It's so sweet!"
Shen Shi'an nodded, and handed him the whole bowl of strawberries. Seeing Chen Nan waving his hands and refusing to take it, he was embarrassed to take it, so he pointed to the vegetable bowl in Shen Xun's arms, which was four times the size of the bowl and full of strawberries: "I still have this. "He said again: "Leave one peeled and dried in the sun, then take the seed, and see if you can use supernatural powers to spawn it."
Strawberries are naturally taken out of space. Cherry is a tree-born fruit, and Chen Nan's ability is currently estimated to be unable to produce it. Tomatoes are too big to be exposed for the time being. Only strawberries are suitable for experiments. If Chen Nan can give birth to success, and the seeds he gave birth to can be planted again in the space, it means that his idea is completely feasible, and the space and Chen Nan can cooperate with each other to obtain continuously optimized and endless seeds.
Chen Nan responded, and then took the strawberry. Immediately, he quickly untied the plastic bag from the strap of the backpack, a little embarrassed: "The supermarket at the rest stop has been searched, and only this few things were found." He handed all the nine crystal nuclei to Shen Shi'an: "But the harvest of the crystal nuclei It’s okay, Brother Shen, I’ll give you all.”
Shen Shi'an put the milk powder in the trunk, and the Coke in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator. Four of the crystal cores were collected, and the other five were handed back to the other party, and they could not be refused: "My crystal core is enough for now, but it is your ability that needs to be improved at this stage. Since we are traveling in a team, Then it is necessary to cooperate with each other, and the improvement of the comprehensive ability of the team is equally important.”
Chen Nan was silent, then nodded heavily, and took back the five crystals. In the past, when training the provincial team for the relay race, the coach often told them that the water capacity of a wooden barrel is determined by the shortest plank, and the same is true for the overall ability of the team. He will definitely do his best to improve himself and not hold Brother Shen back.
Shen Shi'an's expression was calm, and he glanced at his left ankle: "Injured?" Although the other party tried to hide it, it was still a little unnatural when he ran back just now.
Chen Nan raised his leg and swung it twice: "I ran too fast when I was hiding from the zombies, and I hit a concrete pillar. I didn't break the skin, but twisted it and got a piece of bruise. It doesn't affect my movement. I guess it will disappear tomorrow. .”
Shen Shi'an nodded, "Wash your hands and come over to eat."
It is said that traveling together can best test a person's quality. And these days together, his evaluation of Chen Nan has been rising.
Probably because of the closed training in the school all the year round, Chen Nan is not the type who is good at socializing. He doesn't talk much, and he seldom takes the initiative to speak, but he does a lot of things: washing dishes and pots, fetching water and lighting fires, along the way He has contracted almost all kinds of chores, and every time he takes a break, he will look for every opportunity to collect supplies and zombie crystal cores. It can be clearly perceived that he is doing his best to contribute and prove his worth to Shen Shi'an.
Before getting on the bus, Chen Nan said that he would pay three crystal nuclei every day as a reward for the ride, but Shen Shi'an didn't care. The crystal nuclei are very important to him, yes, but they are not indispensable, and it's not because he wants those few It was only after a few crystal nuclei that Chen Nan agreed to take him with him.
However, Chen Nan obviously took this matter to heart and regarded it as a promise that must be fulfilled, not letting go of any possibility of obtaining crystal nuclei along the way. It's just that zombie crystal nuclei are not easy to obtain. Mutated zombies are rare in the first place. In addition, Shen Shi'an's route is relatively biased, so the chances of encountering mutated zombies are even less. No matter how hard he tries, he can't complete the goal every day.
On the night when he failed to complete the goal for the second time, Shen Shi'an found that he had found a palm-sized notebook from nowhere, and carefully wrote down what food he had consumed today and how many crystal nuclei he owed to pay back. After that, I became more active and desperate.
Shen Shi'an didn't say anything, nor did he stop it.
He really doesn't need Chen Nan's crystal nucleus, and the food in the space is not a problem to support an army, but he can't let Chen Nan take the resources and convenience he enjoys during the journey for granted. It is good to help others, but unrestrained help often only breeds dependence and unsatisfactory greed/desire.
Mutual cooperation and joint efforts, value each other's contribution and always be grateful, this is the long-term partnership. He recognized Chen Nan's approach and character, and if this character could stand the test of time, he would only repay it with doubled kindness.
The atmosphere during the journey became more and more harmonious. If anyone in the three-person team was dissatisfied, it would be the dog.
This human being who joined halfway grabbed too much of An An's attention, and the dog was grinding his teeth. These days, he has been thinking about how to secretly eat people without being discovered by Shen Shi'an.
In the evening, Shen Shi'an parked his car beside a pond. The pond is covered with green grass, and a few willow trees hang down by the water. The water quality looks good, and there are small fish with long fingers swimming back and forth, competing to eat the small flowers that fall to the water. After eating, Chen Nan still took the initiative to wash the dishes. Shen Shi'an added some firewood to the fire, put a pot on it and started to boil water.
The water is for the children to take a bath. Naturally, there is another member of the same group, so they can’t freely enter the space to take a bath. Fortunately, the road they chose is remote, and it is not difficult to find unpolluted water sources in the countryside. Firewood and hay It's everywhere, just a little effort to heat the water.
But taking a hot bath is Shen Xun's privilege. As for him and Chen Nan, they are both in good health. It is mid-May and the weather is not cold. Most of them jump into the pond and use cold water to solve the problem. It is not satisfactory. Considering the current environment, it is not bad. .
"Brother Shen," Chen Nan finished cleaning up, and came over to say hello to Shen Shi'an: "I'm going to the pond first."
Shen Shi'an nodded: "Call me if you need something."
"Ok."
After the people left, Shen Shi'an took out a bathtub from the place where the spare tire was placed outside the trunk lid, poured hot water and then mixed it with cold water, confirmed that the water temperature was ok, and waved to Shen Xun: "Come here. "
While rubbing the child's hair, he asked him in a low voice: "Do you have any opinion on Chen Nan?"
Shen Xun pretended to be stupid: "No."
It's no wonder Shen Shi'an believed it. Grinding his teeth at Chen Nan in the middle of the night, pretending he didn't hear. It's just that when a stranger suddenly joins, many things have to be restricted, even a normal child can't adapt so quickly, let alone Shen Xun is just a dog who hasn't become a human for half a year. He didn't want to reveal it at the moment, and continued while being careful not to get the foam into the children's eyes: "Chen Nan has a good character, we are still a long way from the capital, and we will have to face not only zombies, but also the military and possibly hostile forces." People with supernatural powers, and many unpredictable situations. The further you go, the more dangerous it will be. If you can find a companion, it will be better than just relying on the two of us."
Shen Xun curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "He's too weak, I can hit him a hundred with one, it's useless at all."
"A person will always grow. He has supernatural powers and can absorb crystal nuclei. It cannot be like this forever. Moreover, his supernatural powers complement the black soil. Things grown from the black soil cannot reproduce twice. He The things that are spawned can't control the quality of the seeds." Shen Shi'an rubbed them carefully, seemingly casually said: "If they cooperate well, there will be inexhaustible and more delicious cherries and strawberries in the space in the future. "
As soon as the child's eyes lit up, Shen Shi'an flicked his eyes on the head just as soon as he rolled them a few times: "Close your eyes, I'm going to flush."
At night, after saying good night to each other, Chen Nan got into the tent outside the car like a few days ago. The tent was provided by Shen Shi'an, and the sleeping bag provided with it is all professional outdoor camping equipment collected in the mall at the beginning. The canvas and brackets are very strong, and zombies can't get in. There are simple early warning devices made of bamboo poles and bell ropes. Don't worry too much about safety issues.
Shen Shi'an lay in the car, covered the child with a blanket, and kissed him on the forehead again: "Sleep."
Shen Xun hugged one of his arms sideways, his dark green eyes widened, and his voice was a little milky: "An An, even if you have other companions, you still only like me, right?"
Shen Shi'an's heart softened, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he raised his hand to rub the child's fluffy hair: "Of course. You are my son, and I don't like who you like."
Gouzijing is satisfied. After Shen Shian fell asleep, he secretly licked his wrist twice:
Hmm, mine. Who kills who.
