After a full day's rest, when the sky was just dawning, Chi Xiaochi simply packed up his things and planned to go to the neighboring city.
Mother Ding was not at ease and wanted to ask Father Ding to drive with him.
First, motorcycles are really unsafe, and secondly, the car space is large enough, and even a small motorcycle is difficult to transport even a barrel of oil.
Chi Xiaochi comforted Mother Ding and said, "Sister Ding, I'm familiar with this motorcycle. Besides, if something happens to the service area and I drive the car away, what will you and Dingtou do?"
It is unrealistic to take the two elders to exchange for supplies.
According to Ding Qiuyun's memory, in the early days of the disaster, there was no looting in the service area, and Jing Zihua even made two deals, and exchanged 70 liters of oil for a hunting mechanical crossbow.
About half a month after the world became cold, a small team of old humans who were full-time robbers came here.
Not only did they not have the concept of the so-called equivalent exchange, but they also slandered Jing Zihua and planned to drag her away as a trophy, forcing Jing Zihua to fire a crossbow, killing one person on the spot and wounding another.
The rest did not have long-range attack weapons, and seeing the fierceness of this bitch, they guessed that there was someone behind her backing her, so she didn't dare to make trouble, so she had to flee first.
So, as things stand, staying in the service area is the safest option.
But Chi Xiaochi couldn't be 100% assured.
He went to pick up a large number of freeze-dried branches nearby, defrosted the frost quickly, and lined them up in the corner of the lounge for use. He made an appointment with his parents to come back on time in three days, and called Yan Lanlan to tell him a few words. The content was simple, nothing more than How to deal with beasts, new human beings and old human beings who have taken refuge in them.
After all, Yan Lanlan was still young, so she felt that the responsibility was heavy, and she scratched her earlobe nervously: "Ah? Leave it all to me."
Chi Xiaochi said, "Two big ones and two small ones, please be a little more tired for you and Sister Jing."
Yan Lanlan: "Oh, I'm not talking about Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding. I'm talking about that person."
She pouted in the direction of the convenience store.
Chi Xiaochi stuffed something into her hand and smiled.
He said: "If he doesn't ask for trouble, everyone will be at peace with each other; if he asks for trouble, the convenience store will belong to us, and we won't suffer in any way."
Seeing the smile of the person in front of her, and weighing the weight of the objects in her hand, Yan Lanlan suddenly felt at ease: "Don't worry, I will take good care of you."
Yan Lanlan is young, but she is definitely loyal.
Since she promised to "take good care of her", she wouldn't make a difference, even if she had to take her own life to fulfill her promise, she gritted her teeth, and she would go ahead.
After the explanation, Chi Xiaochi began to fill the vehicle with diesel fuel, as if planning to travel far.
Across the window, looking at Ding Qiuyun's busy figure, Xiao Han, who was grinning from the cold, finally burst out in joy.
But in just two days, he had had enough of being confined in this small convenience store.
There is no electronic equipment to pass the time, let's not mention it for the time being. It's just a matter of eating and drinking in the enclosed space of dozens of square meters. Xiao Han is really afraid that the group of people will come to rob his small convenience store, and he is also afraid of sleeping in this ice and snow. If he didn't wake up, he simply tried his best to stay up, running around the shelves to keep warm, and his eyes were red.
When he couldn't hold it any longer, he wanted to drink a cup of coffee to refresh himself, but he couldn't find hot water anywhere, so he could only pour the boxed coffee into a mineral water bottle full of ice-water mixture, and he couldn't shake it evenly for a long time. He poured it into his mouth and drank another mouthful of paste, which was so disgusting.
Good thing he's about to get out.
As long as he waits for the obstacle to leave, he can also talk to the group of people well.
He rubbed his frozen hands, stomped over the chocolate wrappers that had been thrown on the floor, walked around behind the counter, and squeezed the switchblade in his hands, feeling that it was not enough. I put an inch-long fruit knife in my pocket.
When preparing, he even thought of an excuse.
The surname Ding will not be able to come back for at least ten and a half days. This group of women, old and young, have no food to eat, and they rest in their service area for two whole days. How can they do it without paying a little price
Although this is a free parking area, the world has changed now, and everyone should change the rules.
If these old, weak, sick and disabled people don't follow the rules, then teach them what is...
Xiao Han was thinking about it happily when he suddenly heard a ding ding clang coming from the direction of the door.
As soon as he looked up, he was horrified to find Ding Qiuyun standing at the door of his shop, bowing his head and tossing something on the door handle outside.
His first reaction was "robbery", and he opened the blade in a panic, but because of his unskilled technique, he cut off his hand.
Ding Qiuyun outside found that he was holding his bloody right hand and gasping in pain, raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, put one hand on the glass outer door, and said in a gentle tone: "Sir, I know that you cherish you now. You can rest assured that you have the existing materials, we will find the materials ourselves and will not come to rob you."
Xiao Han looked out the door, his eyes were straight.
There was a huge U-shaped lock on the outside door handle, double the size of the bicycle lock he locked inside the door.
Ding Qiuyun patted the glass door lightly: "In order to show our sincerity, you put a lock on the inside and we put a lock on the outside. It's so fair, isn't it?"
… fair fart! !
But Xiao Han didn't dare to slap his son in front of Ding Qiuyun, who was a head taller than him. He didn't even dare to say a word, so he could only watch Ding Qiuyun get on the motorcycle and leave suddenly.
The veins on Xiao Han's forehead jumped violently, and he really wanted to smash the door.
However, without this door, wouldn't all cats, three dogs and four dogs come in and move things
After more than a day, Xiao Han also gradually realized that if the electricity and AI did not recover, then this small convenience store was his country.
But the gasoline outside and the underground oil pool are a greater wealth. If you use it well, the benefits will probably be more or less.
Jing Zihua has always been shrewd, expecting her to take the initiative to give up such a big piece of cake is obviously a fool's dream.
Xiao Han took two steps irritably in the smelly convenience store, and made up his mind to break the back window in the middle of the night, climb out to talk to Sister Jing, and ask her to blast these strangers out as soon as possible. She formed an offensive and defensive alliance to share the resources of this convenience store.
He thought, the more people there are, the more trouble there will be. When he kicks out these uninvited guests and spends time with Sister Jing, maybe he can get what he wants and get along with her.
A pungent woman who is divorced and still carries a fuel bottle, it is not easy to find another home.
She has never been married, and being with Sister Jing, she is considered to be taking advantage of her.
But he won't dislike Sister Jing, to live, isn't it just to be considerate of each other
This boundless fantasies supported Xiao Han until the time of twilight.
The smell of hot rice was in the air.
Rice is the best rice. It has been sterilized by ultraviolet rays. It can be stored for a long time even in summer. The boiled rice is like pearls, sticky and soft.
Each person mixed a spoonful of shiitake mushroom sauce from the can and spread it evenly on the tip of the rice.
The taste of shiitake mushrooms is soft and solid. It is like chewing meat. The taste is also salty and delicious. It is the best for meals.
Smelling the fragrance that wafted continuously, Xiao Han's saliva came out like a spring, but he could only eat instant noodles, his mouth was full of the smell of seasoning packets and preservatives, he could only stare and swallow, choking. Eyes are turning white.
He endured his irritability, and waited until the aroma of the rice dissipated and the sound of washing and rinsing stopped. Then he took out a piece of clothing, wrapped his fists in layers, smashed the glass of the rear window a few times, and pulled out the remaining glass on the edge. Ballast, crawled out with hands and feet on the ground.
He thought everyone was asleep.
Therefore, when he tiptoed open the door with the knife in his hand, intending to scare people away when they had just fallen asleep and their minds were unclear, he saw Jing Zihua squatting by the brazier in the center of the room, adding firewood.
Not only Jing Zihua, no one slept, they all saluted the visitor in the middle of the night.
Xiao Han: "..." This is fucking embarrassing.
Jing Zihua frowned and looked at the knife in his hand: "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Han is not a smart person, but now his brain is pounding with blood, so he simply doesn't do it again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys, get out of here!"
He Wanwan and Jing Yiming both opened their eyes.
Mother Ding hugged Jing Yiming's little head and stroked it gently, so that he wouldn't be afraid.
Yan Lanlan protected He Wanwan behind her, put her hand into the sleeping bag, and clenched the weapon Ding Qiuyun gave her.
Father Ding frowned: "Young man, be polite. Whose father are you?"
Xiao Han saw the brazier they used for heating, their thermal sleeping bag, and even the screeching hot water in the pot. His eyes were red with jealousy, and he opened his mouth to retort: "I am your mother. !"
Jing Zihua also knew that the person in front of him was a living idiot, and asked directly, "What qualifications do you have to drive them away? I kept them here."
Xiao Han gestured with the tip of the knife: "Sister Jing, didn't you see it? They have so many good things on them!"
Jing Zihua: "It's theirs! It's not yours—"
"Where's 'their' stuff?! It's mine when I see it!! I have a knife in my hand!"
Seeing that his emotions were about to get out of control, Yan Lanlan pulled out the gun that Ding Qiuyun gave her before leaving, and the black muzzle aimed directly at Xiao Han's face: "Get out! Get out!"
Xiao Han: "..." The scene was even more embarrassing for a while.
However, for a young man with a low IQ who is always on the brain, Yan Lanlan's move is tantamount to throwing a cannonball into the cesspool.
After being absent for a while, his blood flowed back and he became more excited: "Shoot! Come on, hit me, hit here!"
He pointed to the heart of his forehead: "Are you accurate? Ah? Hit, you must aim to hit, don't hit other people, and hit a blood hole!"
Yan Lanlan's face changed.
This laser gun is actually the best to use, but when she thinks of the possibility of accidentally hurting others, she first feels guilty.
Seeing that Yan Lanlan had flinched, Xiao Han immediately became complacent: "Hit? Ladies, aren't you very aggressive? You hit... ah!!"
He was kicked to the ground from the back, knocking out half of his front teeth.
Behind him stood Chi Xiaochi, who was covered in frost and snow.
Behind Chi Xiaochi were two youths with baby-faced drooping eyes. Although they didn't know what was going on, they were one on the side and came up to be held down.
The older one is skilled in his posture, and his technique is also a standard grappler: "Team Ding, you have it under control."
Entering the warm room, Chi Xiaochi closed the door, and without further ado, confiscated the two knives that Xiao Han carried with him.
He was knocked down first, then lost his weapon, the blood in his head faded, and Xiao Han calmed down.
While wanting to slap himself twice, Xiao Han also tried to make excuses for himself: "I, I drank too much. You let me go!"
Chi Xiaochi waved to the pair of young brothers: "Drag him out, don't disturb my parents to sleep."
Chi Xiaochi turned back and said, "After I go out, the child will cover his ears and be more conscious."
He Wanwan obeyed obediently.
Jing Yiming still wanted to watch the fun, and said in a milky voice, "I'm not a child anymore."
Then Jing Yiming was tragically covered by his mother's ears.
After dragging Xiao Han out like a broken pocket, Chi Xiaochi said nothing, and kicked the person on the ground in the waist: "Drinking too much?"
Immediately afterwards, he kicked his stomach again: "Drinking too much?"
After asking over and over a dozen times in this way, Xiao Han finally couldn't take it anymore and cried bitterly: "I didn't, I didn't drink too much, I was obsessed, I'm sorry Brother Ding, I was wrong, wrong—"
"You don't think it's wrong for you to rob." Chi Xiaochi said, "You think you're wrong and you didn't step on it right, and you bumped into my gun."
Xiao Han was said to be sweating profusely, so he could only shake his head, crying in denial.
Chi Xiaochi was no longer polite to him. He reached out and rummaged through his pockets and found the key to the bicycle lock.
Once the key is found, Xiao Han loses its use value.
Chi Xiaochi gave him an ultimatum: "Which dog hole did you get out of, let me get back in as is, and give you five minutes to take the necessities you need from the convenience store, and get out of here."
Xiao Han suddenly felt like a thunderbolt: "The convenience store is mine..."
"Where is your stuff?" Chi Xiaochi replied, "What I like is mine."
He raised his wrist and looked at the watch: "You still have four minutes and fifty seconds."
Xiao Han also wanted to struggle to the death: "How can five minutes be enough..."
Chi Xiaochi: "Three minutes."
Xiao Han: "Isn't it just now—"
Chi Xiaochi: "Two minutes and fifty seconds."
Little Han Sara rushed back, not daring to say another word.
In the end, he still gave Xiao Han five minutes to pack up.
He took three boxes of instant noodles, two boxes of water and a box of ham, got into the car, drove the car, and fled all the way to Guangxian County in the south.
Chi Xiaochi didn't remind him that the city he went to would have serious snake damage in half a day.
As long as such a person survives, cooperating with the new human beings will become a jerk, cooperating with the old human beings will become a thug, cooperating with the good people will deceive people, cooperating with the evil people will be harmful.
It's better to let him have a good fight with animals and let him know what it means to be ferocious.
Chi Xiaochi opened two locks, counted the remaining supplies in the convenience store, and moved the supplies into a nearby vacant room with the baby-faced brothers.
It was said that it was going to be three days, but in fact, Chi Xiaochi had made a plan from the beginning.
One day back and forth is enough.
Xiao Han is a typical petty citizen character, ruthless, cowardly and greedy. He has no criminal record and is always thinking about doing evil. He always feels that it is safer to commit crimes at night, so he will not attack Yan Lanlan and the others during the day. It is possible to start finding faults on the first night, slamming parents and Yan Lanlan to leave, and occupying their supplies.
The Sun brothers are in the next city, and they can drive back and forth by motorcycle for two hours. They leave in the morning and can be back before 8 o'clock at the latest.
The eldest brother of the Sun family, Sun Yan, was a former member of Ding Qiuyun. Like Ding Qiuyun, he retired early due to injury and worked in a shipping company. His younger brother, Sun Bin, studied systems engineering and was a doctorate at the age of 24.
The two brothers have a good relationship.
When he was in the army, Ding Qiuyun knew that his younger brother's birth date was the same as him on September 12. He was a Virgo. He likes spicy food, can study, and likes small animals. He is a genius, but he is not at all. Not proud, very easy-going, very good-tempered, but sometimes behaves a little weird.
When the disaster happened, Sun Bin happened to come to Sun Yan's dormitory to borrow it. The two brothers had made an appointment to play racing games all night.
When fleeing, Sun Yan drove away an empty truck that he often drove.
And this truck became a long-term means of transportation for Ding Qiuyun's team.
At first, Sun Yan, an auto soldier, was solely responsible for this car. As for a person like Sun Bin, who was born to deal with various advanced AIs, it was very valuable to be able to figure out which foot was used for the accelerator and the brake.
Before Sun Yan died, he pulled Ding Qiuyun and said to him, Team Ding, take care of Xiaobin.
He also said that the Pikachu ornament hanging on the rearview mirror must not be thrown away. Although everyone said it was ugly, it was the first birthday gift Xiaobin gave him when he was five years old.
Finally, he called Sun Bin's name three times before he swallowed.
After his death, Sun Bin quickly learned to drive.
Before Sun Bin died, he never left the driver's seat, and even went to bed with the coat left by his brother.
Fortunately, both brothers are still there, but fortunately they are standing in front of him.
After taking care of the surnamed Han, and counting the materials he left behind, Chi Xiaochi put the hand generator, a dozen cans, bedding, and two barrels of sealed water that he had purchased earlier into the new warehouse as well. Materials recovered from the next trip.
When he came out, he found that Yan Lanlan was waiting for him outside.
The girl's face turned white from the cold had a look of shame: "Brother Ding, I'm sorry."
Chi Xiaochi looked at her.
She handed the gun back to Chi Xiaochi and whispered, "I... promised to protect Sister Jing and the others. But I didn't dare to do it..."
Chi Xiaochi calmly pushed the gun back to Yan Lanlan.
He said: "Yes, this time I did something wrong. Next time, pay attention to two points. First, if you are unfamiliar with guns, don't take out the gun as a last resort unless you have to; second, as a last resort. You have to have the guts to shoot, no matter the circumstances. It’s not just protecting other people, it’s protecting yourself.”
In fact, after giving the gun to Yan Lanlan, Chi Xiaochi could have gone out with confidence.
Yan Lanlan is young and impulsive, full of enthusiasm, she always feels that death is too far away for her, she feels that she is the center of the world, and no one dies in her turn, so she has no scruples in taking risks.
Yan Lanlan didn't know what death meant, but Ding Qiuyun knew it, and so did Chi Xiaochi.
Therefore, she needs to learn, and Chi Xiaochi also needs to teach.
