Zheng Qianqian's route was different from the route Ji Changze planned to take.
But after seeing the route they planned to take under Hu Hao's enthusiasm and Zheng Qianqian's vigilance, Ji Changze directly told them that they would still turn back to the city if they went this way.
Moreover, the surviving humans are all looking for resources everywhere. If they turn back, Jubi will face the tragic situation of not being able to find resources.
Zheng Qianqian didn't believe it. She had studied this map so many times. It was clearly the way out of the city. How could it be possible to turn back into the city.
Li Hechuan took out a drone, flew it into the sky to record the video, and then recorded the winding route.
Zheng Qianqian: "..."
She never expected such an operation.
"Isn't there no internet now? How can you still use this?"
Ji Changze pointed at Li Hechuan: "Chuanchuan is pretty good at this."
Li Hechuan stood proudly.
"This drone is part of my collection. I asked someone to buy it for me at a high price. I usually fly it around and take photos and videos. I can sit at home without any shortage of material."
"And this kind of debugging is not difficult. There are many components here, Brother Ji, and everything is available. I am planning to try to see if I can make another one myself. The one I made may not be as useful as the one we are using, but it is still okay. .”
Zheng Qianqian: "..."
She had previously speculated that this fat and plain-looking man was serving as a decoy in the team, but she didn't expect him to be so naughty.
Sure enough, masters are always among the humble.
She was even more sure that she was right.
Before, Li's father and Li's mother said that Ji Changze was kind enough to take them with him, but now it seems that Ji Changze clearly took a fancy to Li Hechuan's talent.
She said that she would not make a mistake in reasoning, Ji Changze just couldn't do it early because it was unprofitable.
He must have recruited Li Hechuan to take care of Li's father and mother because of Li Hechuan's talent in making his own drone.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Li Hechuan turn to look at Ji Changze: "Uncle Ji, take me with you when you go to watch on the roof of the car later. Please point me out if I did something wrong."
Ji Changze was making sauce to prepare for roasting whole rabbit later. When he heard his words, he immediately agreed: "Okay, but be careful when you start, don't waste materials like last time. Now these things It’s not easy to find.”
Zheng Qianqian: "... The senior gave you some advice? Aren't you a professional? No, the senior is not a professional either."
"Yes, Uncle Ji has a tribe. Isn't it normal for him to know these skills?" Li Hechuan answered quite confidently.
Zheng Qianqian: "..."
Normal, normal
Aren’t the wealthy people all about buying and training themselves? When will it be possible to make drones with standard equipment...
But in this case, the reason why Ji Changze recruited Li Hechuan because of his ability seemed to make no sense.
Zheng Qianqian looked at Ji Changze, who was standing at the table making sauce, a little confused.
This table is foldable. It usually takes up a little space when folded, but when it is extended, it becomes very large. There is also a barbecue grill next to it. At this moment, the rabbit has been cleaned up and placed on it, and next to it Fu Hao looked at the heat and gave it a spin.
As for Ji Changze, he was wearing a white apron, his hands were washed clean, he had just chopped some millet, pepper, onions, ginger and garlic, and was now preparing the sauce in a decent manner. Even if he was doing kitchen work, he was very polite. They looked orderly, and if it weren't for the fact that the grass where they were parked was flattened, and the other areas were surrounded by grass that was taller than a person, it would have looked like they were on an outing in the wild.
It seemed that the mixture was ready. He took out a small plate with a nice shape (why do you need to bring a small plate specially for holding sauce when you are on the run?). After filling it, he handed it to Guo Junyuan next to him with a gentle voice: " Can you try adjusting it to this flavor?"
Next to Guo Junyuan's feet was a folding stroller, which was unfolded at the moment. Xiaobao was sitting in it, looking around curiously. She took the small plate, dipped a little in her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"Yeah, it's delicious and fragrant."
"Then don't add anything else."
After receiving his wife's approval, Ji Changze's beautiful face that had not been damaged even in the apocalypse showed a faint smile, and he took a spoon and filled the small plates one by one with sauce.
Then he poured another bowl of something that looked very similar to Worcestershire sauce. He took a special barbecue brush and started to brush the whole body of the rabbit.
Guo Junyuan suddenly thought: "By the way, are there some frozen fish in the refrigerator in our car? Let's eat them together this time."
With that said, she went back to open the car refrigerator and took out some fish inside.
This was caught by Ji Changze when they passed by the river five days ago. At that time, they cooked boiled fish and ate three of them, but there were four left. Guo Junyuan put it in the refrigerator to freeze. Everyone has been eating it these days. The meal in the car wasn't too sumptuous, so she didn't think about it.
Zheng Qianqian was already very surprised when she heard there were fish, but then she saw Guo Junyuan actually took a few fish out of the car.
She was completely confused.
This doesn't look like a picnic. This is a picnic at all.
In the past ten days, she and Hu Hao had driven to so many places together and met many other humans, but none of them were as relaxed and at ease as they were.
Take a look at the barbecue items. They all look pretty good, including barbecue racks, oil brushes, and as Guo Junyuan just said, they actually have a refrigerator.
Even though I came here with the intention of sneaking into the "enemy", now I see everyone gathering together and enjoying themselves. Children are running around eating grilled chicken wings in their hands, and adults are gathering together and even posing. A table of mahjong came out, inviting them to come over and play.
But Ji Changze still made the sauce, took off his apron, hugged Xiaobao and started coaxing him. Next to him, Guo Junyuan stuffed a fat chicken leg into his hand. He was holding the drumstick in one hand and a glass of temperature in the other hand. With fresh milk, he looked at the father and son with a gentle smile.
This scene made Zheng Qianqian's nose feel a little sore.
Of course, she was not jealous or envious, but she suddenly felt as if she had returned to a time before the disaster happened. At that time, the road had not turned into a prairie, and she did not have to worry about whether an antelope would jump out of nowhere when she went to the toilet. , when driving, you only need to look at the surrounding vehicles and traffic lights, and don't have to worry about whether you will get stuck in the swamp while driving.
Who knows why the place that was supposed to be a road turned into a swamp.
But considering that this place has become a prairie, it is understandable that there is an extra swamp on the road.
Because of this feeling about the once happy and peaceful life, Zheng Qianqian liked Ji Changze more than anything.
In addition, it was just a chance encounter, the route was different, and everyone around Ji Changze unanimously said that Ji Changze was indeed a good person, Zheng Qianqian began to wonder if he was really neurotic.
The most important thing is that she believed in her intuition before.
But now facing Ji Changze, she couldn't feel the "I'm a bad guy haha" signal from this man at all. Instead, she only had calmness and gentleness, just like she thought he was pretending to be before.
And when Ji Changze looked at her and met her eyes, there was no unnecessary emotion in his eyes.
It's not like he likes her or has any thoughts about her.
Zheng Qianqian fell into deep thought.
Could it be that...she really made a mistake
Her intuition was no longer accurate, so she could no longer rely solely on her intuition as before, but also relied on the judgment of those around her. However, everyone around her felt that Ji Changze was a good person.
It even included Li Hechuan who broke the news that his relationship with Ji Changze was not very harmonious. It was said that Chen Lu was his enemy since childhood.
Even his sworn enemies think Ji Changze is a good person, so how good must he be
Zheng Qianqian gradually began to doubt herself. When she ate delicious barbecue, her doubts were overshadowed by the delicious taste.
She saw the essence through the phenomenon.
No matter who Ji Changze is, since their paths are completely different, they will definitely have no intersection in this world in the future, so why does she still have to worry about this.
It doesn't matter what kind of person Ji Changze is, as long as the things he does are done by kind-hearted people.
If it were anyone else, it would just be a relationship between a senior and a junior. Who would be willing to give him food and drink, even the most precious gasoline, in such a situation
After thinking about it, Zheng Qianqian felt refreshed.
She stopped worrying and thinking, and happily joined the barbecue.
When Ji Changze thoughtfully asked her to take some back for Hu Hao to eat, he readily agreed.
Chen's Lu was sitting on a small bench and was taking out the seasonings he had brought with him from a woven bag. He had found them when he was looking for food and had been hiding them. He didn't hunt the rabbits, nor did he hunt the pheasants. , the fish has nothing to do with him, and he is not embarrassed to eat and drink for free.
If Ji Changze saw him eating and drinking for free, he would definitely laugh at him.
Even if you don't show it on your face, you will definitely laugh at it in your heart.
No need to ask how he knew, he was so aware of Ji Changze's psychological activities.
As he was taking out the condiments one by one, he saw Zheng Qianqian smile at Ji Changze and say thank you.
Peaceful and harmonious.
really.
Chen Lu snorted coldly in his heart.
He knew that Zheng Qianqian must have been brainwashed as well.
Maybe you still feel how tall and majestic Ji Changze’s image is, naive!
Chen Lu, who took out all the condiments he had collected, had no idea that Zheng Qianqian turned against him because of him.
After pouring the seasoning, he only noticed that Li Hechuan was brushing the rabbit meat, stood up and walked over there.
"You've never barbecued before, have you? You can't do this like this. Come on, let me teach you."
Li Hechuan was shocked that Chen's Lu, who looked even more useless than him and only talked about how to tease Uncle Ji, actually looked like he was very proficient in cooking. He hurriedly gave up the position of chef and even gave him Ji Changze's apron. .
Chen's Lu started to barbecue like this.
He even asked Li Hechuan to take out the induction cooker in the RV and cook it himself.
As a result, the scene looked more enjoyable.
Zheng Qianqian looked at this scene and became more sure of her thoughts.
He can get along so well with his mortal enemy.
Maybe she really was mistaken.
Ji Changze seems really friendly.
Fortunately, Chen Lu didn't know that it was him who made Zheng Qianqian have such an idea, otherwise he would definitely go crazy.
Zheng Qianqian ate by herself and gave it to Hu Hao. She was very busy. When everyone was full and started to move things back, she thought for a few seconds and decided to share the information with Ji Changze and the others. The news from the station was told to them.
It's just that this is very different from previous ideas.
Before, I thought I couldn't owe a favor, but this time I proposed it out of gratitude.
Ji Changze and the others do need to replenish their gasoline.
After all, I drove three cars and used a lot of gasoline. Although I had reserves and looked for gas stations according to the map to refill along the way, I only had less than half of the gasoline left after driving for such a period of time.
Just like filling up the blue strips, several cars drove to the gas station together. Everyone first filled up the gas together, and then filled it with barrels. After confirming that nothing was missing, Zheng Qianqian and the others followed the new route drawn with Li Hechuan's help. Open, Ji Changze and the others continued to drive home.
The two parties are now separated.
Although Zheng Qianqian had begun to suspect that her intuition was wrong, she never let down her guard. What reassured her was that Ji Changze never made an attack until they were the only car left on the road again.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, is she overthinking it
But Lu, who was sitting in his car and driving, staring at the grazing sheep in front of him, completely forgot about the name Zheng Qianqian.
Replaced with "Stupid Human Number 6 who was also deceived by Ji Changze's mask", there is no sense of violation at all.
Everyone continued to drive forward, because there was a refrigerator, and there were prey that would die under bows and arrows along the way. There was no need to worry about food and drink. They would also enjoy recreational activities together, such as playing poker and mahjong, or sitting on the roof of the RV to practice archery. .
Because the plant that Ji Changze took as the arrow flower has grown up, they have no shortage of arrows to use. They don’t have to feel bad if they don’t pick them up after shooting them. Of course, since Ji Changze discovered that there is a kind of vine that can be twisted into silk and can be braided into ropes, there are more people. The same activity is to rub the rope.
The rope can be tied to the arrow. When practicing archery, tie the rope to the end and pull the arrow back with the prey.
They have no shortage of arrows now, but it would be nice to save a few.
We also encountered other cars along the way, but those cars just ran away when they saw them from a distance.
Ji Changze and Guo Junyuan analyzed that the relationship between human beings and humans must not have been good, otherwise those people would not run away as soon as they saw them. Either these people have encountered bad people before and were dealt with, or these people themselves are bad people. Look They had four vehicles (plus a tricycle), and the RV was so tall, so they thought they were too crowded, so they ran away.
Anyway, since they had Li Hechuan and a radio, they didn't need to ask other humans for information. From then on, they began to avoid other humans.
Finally, they drove to the foot of a mountain.
The car stopped, and Li Hechuan came out with the drone and let it fly. He controlled it while watching the video: "Yes, this is it."
Chen's Lu calmed down a little because of the excitement of returning home; "Here? How can there be such a high mountain in our village?"
He looked at the video screen: "Chuanchuan, are you looking in the wrong place? There are forests near our village, and there are mountains, but they are all small hills, not so high."
Ji Changze looked up at the mountain in front of him and suddenly said: "Yes, there is a high mountain near our village."
"Erlang Mountain? Erlang Mountain is not bald..."
The rest of Chen Lu's words were stuck in his throat. He looked steadily at the mountain in front of him. About ten meters away, there was a huge dent.
The saying passed down in the village is that these are the footprints of Erlang Shen.
Although the legend does not mention why Erlangshen's footprints are so big, no one has asked similar questions about whether the one with the big footprints should be Bigfoot.
A mountain that had been bald since they were young is now covered with green trees, which look so lush and lush.
The world has really changed.
"Uncle Ji, does your village look like an eye from the air?"
Ji Changze: "Yes."
Li Hechuan had a complicated expression on his face and moved away from watching the video: "The terrain of this village is a bit complicated now. You can see for yourselves."
Ji Changze and Chen Lu looked closer.
Li Hechuan pointed to the left side of the village: "There are several mountains here, and there are basically no roads for people to walk on. Just now, the drone recorded a video of wild boars, and they were not just one or two, but a group of them." .”
He pointed to the right: "This is a river. There are many water snakes in the river. I can't tell whether they are poisonous or not. Anyway, they are very permeable."
"There is not much else in front of the village, but there are very tall trees there. I asked the drone to get closer and take pictures. Almost every tree has honeycombs on it. I checked the information before and found that there will be honeycombs here in summer. The beekeepers came to stay for a period of time. These bees may have been left behind at that time. Then the meteorite rain came and there was much more nectar than before. The bees may have also been affected by nature and multiplied and expanded their populations. In other words, this area It’s been taken over by bees.”
They have discussed this before. After the end of the world, it seems that only humans have not changed in the entire world, while other animals and plants have evolved to a greater or lesser extent.
Plants are growing rapidly, and animals have higher IQs than before. What they both have in common is that they grow according to the characteristics that they had before the end of the world.
For example, rabbits are the most common thing nowadays because they were very good at reproducing before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, their ability to reproduce seems to have been further strengthened.
Bees are also animals that can expand their populations.
Li Hechuan continued: "This is not the worst. The worst thing is that the road below, which is the road we must cross if we want to enter the village, cuts off all the farmland. The fields in your village should be Behind this road, villagers who need food have to take this road, but there are lions living on this road."
Chen Lu’s shocked voice reached a high pitch: “A pride of lions? How could we have such a thing here??”
Li Hechuan: "I found out that your county has a zoo, so..."
Chen Delu: "..."
grass!
Li Hechuan added: "Do you know what this terrain means?"
Chen's Lu sounded frustrated: "You think we have to fight these lions falling from the sky if we want to go home??"
"No."
Ji Changze's eyes were fixed on the video: "This means that people in the village cannot go out. They can only stay in the village, but the food they grow is all outside."
Does that mean you have no choice but to go hungry?
Chen Lu suddenly looked ashen.
His father, his mother, they are all edible.
It's over, it's over, they must be living a very miserable life now.
He thought of many adjectives in an instant.
He has a sallow face and thin muscles, a big head and a small body, and is as skinny as a stick. His face is sallow and he lives in despair.
No! ! ! !
Ji Changze was not as devastated as Chen's Lu. He remembered that everyone in the village had granaries, and everyone usually saved enough food for half a year, so the villagers might be anxious or worried about what they would do if they ran out of food in the future.
But I'm not really hungry.
"Okay, let's make a plan to see how we can defeat these lions and enter the village."
In a village surrounded by danger, there is a pair of neighbors who are yelling at each other across the wall.
"My son's grades are better than your son's, his brain is smarter than your son's, and his appearance is better than your son's. I must be the one who comes back first."
"Fart, what's the use of your son's good looks? My Lulu is smart and likes to play basketball. Didn't you listen to what the village chief said? This is called the end of the world. Good grades are of no use at the end of the world. It depends on whether he can play! Definitely. It’s my Lulu who’s coming back first.”
"You're the one who farted. Your Chen Lu is as skinny as a bamboo pole. I, Nagasawa, can knock him over with just one slap."
"My Lulu can still push him to death."
The two of them couldn't see each other's faces, but they were still quarreling fiercely. Their husbands almost immediately started calling: "Stop quarreling, let's eat when the food is ready."
They are all quite helpless, because it seems that poisonous snakes have entered the village recently, and no one dares to go out.
The two women were so idle that they exchanged various insults across the wall, chattering louder than the magpies in the tree.
Mother Ji: "Wait for me over there. I'll teach you a lesson after dinner."
Mother Chen: "Just wait, it's not certain who will teach whom!"
"My parents, Ze, are coming back to help me scold you together."
"My family, Lu Lu, and your family, Ji Changze, have come back early. I think it was our mother-in-law who scolded you first."
"Bah!"/Duet.
