When the two passed through layers of secret jungles, the sun, which had disappeared for a long time, finally reappeared.
The white mist still shrouded the surroundings, and the sun shot down from the white mist, looking dreamy and blurred. The whole forest was presented in front of them. Mottled light spots.
Wu Xingyun looked into the distance, the vegetation where the two of them were was gradually not as luxuriant as in the deep forest, traces of the road could be vaguely seen, and the trees seemed sparse, the city of Xi'an in front was shrouded in white In the fog, looming, like a fairyland.
Both Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun were excited, and they walked towards the city at a faster pace.
The closer he was to the center of the city, the more disturbed Wu Xingyun felt. For no reason, he remembered what happened to him when he went to City C with Ye Fan.
Stamped by the crowd in the narrow passage, the huge lizard destroyed the entire city, and embarked on a real escape.
Hopefully, this time, it won't be like that.
Wu Xingyun prayed silently in his heart, Ye Fan walked in front of him to open the way, when the two passed by a thick and ugly willow tree, Ye Fan turned his head and said: "Someone is coming, we have to be careful."
Wu Xingyun gave a "hmm" and hid in the jungle, while Ye Fan stood on the road stepped by people in the forest.
After the two of them waited for a while, they saw a group of people coming out of the city and coming towards this side.
There were about 20 people in that team, and the weapons in their hands were very simple, such as primitive knives, swords, sticks, bows and arrows, and two dogs, who looked like they were out hunting for food. .
Ye Fan ran towards those people, and after saying a few words, he waved to Wu Xingyun: "Yun, come out!"
Wu Xingyun came out from the forest, and after the two sides introduced each other, Wu Xingyun learned from Ye Fan that they were indeed sent by Wang Ruoxu to hunt.
Because of the departure of all the scientists and the powerful army, Wang Ruoxu could not produce food by himself, nor could he extract oil, so the supplies in the city were very scarce.
They would send people out to hunt every day, and then bring back the prey to be distributed by the Wang brothers.
Those who came out to hunt saw Wu Xingyun's attire, and they knew it without Ye Fan's introduction: "This is your relative? He is an ordinary person, right?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I heard that ordinary people here can live well?"
A middle-aged man named Zhang Hao who was leading the other party nodded and said, "Yes, we have come to join the Wang Brothers for the sake of our relatives. My daughter is an ordinary person, so she stays in the city. No, I'll take you there!"
Zhang Hao held a big knife in his hand. He was tall and tall. Wearing only an undershirt in such a cold weather, he could tell he was a mutant at a glance.
He looked very enthusiastic, and when he was about to lead Ye Fan and the others back into the city, he was stopped by a skinny man next to him: "Brother Zhang, if you just go back like this... I'm afraid it's not up to standard today." .”
Zhang Hao was stunned, and then a look of regret appeared on his face. He pointed in the direction of the ancient wall from a distance, and said, "Look at me, I still have a mission today, so I can't take you there, but it's easy to find. Go straight along this road, and you can find out if you ask casually when you get to the city.”
After Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun thanked the team, they walked towards the city.
The two of them had been to Xi'an before, and their team had replenished their troops here. At that time, Wu Xingyun remembered that the city walls here were just decorations and tourist attractions, but he didn't expect to come here again now. All the city walls, dilapidated, The parts that were demolished were repaired again. They also saw some people doing hard work to repair the wall, and some guards were also standing guard at the temporary city gate. It's just that because there is no weaving technology, everyone wears tattered clothes.
At first, Wu Xingyun and Ye Fan thought they would encounter some trouble here, but they didn't expect that the guards would let them in after hearing about their affairs, and sent someone to pick them up and go to Wang Ruoxu's place. residence.
There were no cars in the city, and there were no firearms and equipment. Wu Xingyun's attire looked extremely weird, and attracted many people's attention along the way.
Dilapidated houses collapsed on the street, and some concrete buildings also collapsed a lot, and there was a scene of broken walls and ruins everywhere.
This situation, in the eyes of Ye Fan, who has been with the Federation since the end of the world, feels terrible, but in the eyes of people who have experienced the end of the world and struggled to the bottom, they already feel that this is heaven—no man-eating monsters, no terror forests, will not worry about being killed inexplicably, etc...
The two made a big circle around the city before they came to a garden.
Wu Xingyun remembered that the last time he came here, although it wasn't a mess, it was also very bad. He still remembered looking at the half-broken sign and asking Ye Fan what "Rongyuan" meant, and Ye Fan laughed at it It turned out that he was a fool for being a soldier, and he didn't even know about the "Datang Paradise".
But now when Wu Xingyun and Ye Fan stood here again, they were really shocked.
What appeared in front of them was a verdant and verdant forest garden with red bricks and yellow tiles. There was a huge stone tablet at the entrance, engraved on it - Ruoxuzhai.
The bluestone road on the ground is almost spotless, and the flower beds on both sides are actually planted with green plants! !
Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun glanced at each other. They both understood what it meant to grow green plants in a place where animals and plants mutated rapidly. They grew so fast that they had to be pruned every hour.
Moreover, this non-aggressive, purely ornamental plant was almost completely extinct after the thick fog of Saar.
This kind of thing, even in the forest that Ye Fan just passed through, he would never see half of it.
And here, a large area of this kind of thing is actually planted, as well as non-toxic and non-aggressive gorgeous flowers.
The two walked while watching the scenery in the garden.
Before the end of the world, Ye Fan also came here to play during the holidays, but the feeling is completely different.
Almost everything has been refurbished. On the other hand, the water of the Qujiang River flows around the white jade railings, and the ancient buildings are hidden in the Xiaoxiao bamboo forest.
During the march, Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun have seen many mutants being used to manage the garden.
It's the end of the world outside, but here is definitely heaven, at least it's a paradise in the end of the world.
Ye Fan evaluated secretly in his heart, full of vigilance for the person he was about to meet.
The person who led the way took him into a hall imitating the architecture of the Tang Dynasty, and then left.
This hall was obviously rebuilt, because Ye Fan remembered that when he came up, it was completely destroyed. The floor was covered with black marble, and a girl knelt on the ground and kept mopping the floor to keep it half open. The open space is spotless.
Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun stood in place and waited. After a while, Ye Fan heard footsteps.
The sound he could usually hear was at least five kilometers away, but now, the footsteps suddenly appeared at a distance of ten meters away.
Ye Fan raised his head and looked towards the place where the footsteps sounded, and saw an acquaintance with a fierce face and a fleshy body walking towards him.
It's Wang Qiang.
Ye Fan quickly judged in his mind, Wang Qiang's variation index and force value.
Wang Qiang walked over impatiently, but when he saw Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun who were all wrapped up, he couldn't help showing a smug smile: "Hahaha, Ye Fan, it's you! "
Ye Fan said, "Yes."
Wang Qiang tried to win over Ye Fan on the way to escape that day, but because both of them couldn't understand some of his methods, and because they didn't go together at all, Ye Fan simply refused.
And who would have thought that after a year, the two parties would meet again
"You came here to beg me?" Wang Qiang said, his eyes sized Wu Xingyun, "Is this your wife?"
As soon as he said this, Wu Xingyun felt awkward, but Ye Fan nodded slightly, trying to show a friendly smile on his face: "Yes. I heard that your brother can help ordinary people survive, and I want to come to him help."
Wang Qiang snorted, and said, "Didn't you have a lot of backbone back then? Didn't you still have acquaintances in the army who could go through the back door? Now it's really... If I had known this before, why did I do it?"
Ye Fan said: "I won't mention the previous things. No one thought that we would be left behind. In the last days, everyone helps each other to live a better life. I want my daughter-in-law to live, and I sincerely ask for it." Helpful."
Wang Qiang laughed out loud. He couldn't see Wu Xingyun's face, and he didn't know who the other party was. He just rolled his eyelids and said, "Yes, no problem. Our rules here. Anyone who brings female relatives must If you want to stay, the female relatives have to stay with me for one night. It’s a fair deal, and there is no deceit. Ye Fan, let your daughter-in-law sleep with me for one night. If she sleeps well, I will take her to see my brother."
Ye Fan's face instantly turned livid, and his fists were clenched involuntarily.
Wang Qiang laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Ye Fan, you'd better learn the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. It doesn't matter, I don't force it, you can figure it out yourself!"
Ye Fan's brows were knit together, and gradually loosened after a while, his hands were inserted into his trouser pockets, although they were still clenched tightly, he hid his fists, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, showing a careless smile : "Brother Qiang, do you remember the soldier who was with me back then?"
Wang Qiang said, "Remember, the one who looks as dark as an African and looks silly?" He said with a disgusted look on his face.
Ye Fan's fist hidden in his purse slowly loosened, and his smile became more casual: "Yes, she is my wife. Anyway, as long as you can sleep, I don't mind letting him stay with you for a night."
