There were few vehicles passing through the base area before the end of the world, but there were no vehicles blocking the road. But because there is no one to clean and maintain after the end of the world, the snow is still there, the whole world is a piece of whiteness, and most of the original road signs have been destroyed by the heavy snow, and you will lose your way if you are not careful.
Driving in this environment requires full concentration and avoids snow blindness, so Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze will change places every once in a while, trying to avoid letting one person drive for too long.
Near noon, Ye Xuan stopped the car at a gas station according to the map, and planned to rest for a while and have lunch before continuing on his way.
The gas station is small in scale, and there is only a small supermarket besides a refueling equipment. Ye Xuan paid close attention to it, and stopped the car at the entrance of the supermarket after he didn't hear anyone's voice.
"It's finally here, don't get out of the car, I'll go and have a look."
There is great resistance where no cars pass, and places where cars pass are easy to slippery. This road is much more difficult than walking with the army convoy before. Ling Jiaze really felt that it is not easy to travel after the end of the world after sitting in the car all morning. He first jumped out of the car and walked around the supermarket, and checked the restroom of the employees on one side, and came out and said: "An employee in the supermarket turned into a zombie, his head was chopped off, and his body is in the restroom. The food in the supermarket They were taken away a lot, water, instant noodles, sausages and so on were all gone, only some puffed food that was not easy to carry was left, probably all were taken away by survivors.”
Ye Xuan nodded, and took out a portable solar cooker and some ingredients from the space, "Then let's eat in the supermarket, or we may eat in the wilderness in the future or make a living in the car gone."
Rest stops where people eat too well are easy to attract people's attention. If you don't go to a rest stop, you can only cook in the open air on the road or in a place without snow. This kind of rest place with no one is really a must for them. It is rare to come across it, so Ye Xuan still cherishes this opportunity to have a freshly made hot soup and hot meal.
Ling Jiaze didn't have much cooking skills, and he wasn't polite to Ye Xuan, "Okay, then you cook first, and I'll load the oil."
During the time after the apocalypse, Ling Jiaze has become very proficient at collecting gasoline and diesel from gas stations. He took the oil barrel that Ye Xuan found for him from the space, and fixed the oil pipe and the barrel by freezing it with supernatural powers, making sure that it would be fine if he didn't have to look at it himself. Then he took this time to quickly walk around the gas station lock up.
After observing the situation near the gas station, the oil drum happened to be full. He melted the ice, screwed the lid of the oil drum, waited for Ye Xuan to come over and put it into the space, ran to the side of Ye Xuan who was cooking and said: "I just noticed the ruts near the gas station and found a few cars It was heading north, not toward the base, and it looked like it had been under pressure for a while, so it was probably a survivor of this gas station."
"It should be. I just took a look. Although this gas station has some food, it has no electricity, no air conditioning, and no other heating facilities. It is normal for them to leave here to find a place to live before the base comes to search. It used to be so It’s been a long time, maybe they’ve already driven very far.”
"That's true." Ling Jiaze sat by the stove, looked carefully at the map he had just taken out of the car, and said with some disappointment, "We set off from the base around eight o'clock, and it's twelve o'clock now, and we drove for four hours. The car in my car has only traveled 100 kilometers, can it be completed in an hour before the end of the world? At this speed, the more than 1,000 kilometers will not be covered for a whole week?"
"A whole week?" Ye Xuan said helplessly: "The only trouble we encountered this morning was snow accumulation. We didn't encounter a series of traffic accidents, roads destroyed by collapsed mountains, or cracked roads. , How long do you think we will go when we meet those?"
When Ye Xuan said this, Ling Jiaze realized that he hadn't thought much. Thinking of the fences that had been crushed and frozen by the snow and the cracks on both sides of the road on his road, he sighed, "Oh, it's my wife. Get impatient, let it be.”
"Let's not talk about that, the noodles are cooked, let's eat first."
Time is still in his space, so Ye Xuan made a lot of food in advance, and also prepared a lot of semi-finished products. It is very convenient to make soup or stew, which takes time. Now he took out the chicken soup that he had stewed before, cooked chicken noodle soup as the staple food, and fried vegetarian dishes, which was considered nutritionally balanced.
—
After lunch, Ye Xuan was still driving, and Ling Jiaze sat in the co-pilot to practice his abilities, while paying attention to the road conditions for Ye Xuan.
Ling Jiaze was playing with the ice that he had condensed, when he suddenly saw a touch of red in the whiteness in front of him, he rubbed his eyes subconsciously, and after realizing that the red was not his illusion, he hurriedly said to Ye Xuan: "There seems to be a lot of red in front of you!" There are people, or there is a car farther away!"
Ye Xuan's attention was originally on the road in front of the car. After hearing this, he looked into the distance and saw a long-haired woman in a red dress standing in the snow beside the road. The car later waved at them.
At this time, Ling Jiaze also realized that it was a person. He looked at his watch and said with a little joy of seeing the survivors: "We drove for more than an hour, and we ran about 20 kilometers. I saw a village near here on the Internet, could this woman be a survivor in the village?"
Ye Xuan didn't feel the joy of seeing people. He frowned and looked at the woman in red in the distance, and said vigilantly: "Judging from the snow being crushed, not many people can walk on this road in a day. She If it is a survivor in the village, what are you doing here at this time?"
"It's true." After being reminded by him, Ling Jiaze also woke up from the joy of seeing the survivors suddenly, and calmly analyzed: "Why don't you slow down a little when you get close to her, and I will open the window to ask Find out what's the matter with her, lest we miss it if someone really asks for help."
He is not a holy mother, but there are not many people passing this road every day. If the woman is really in trouble, and the two of them choose to turn a blind eye, Ling Jiaze will not feel too comfortable if the woman dies here in the end.
"Okay, listen to you!"
During the conversation, the car arrived not far from the woman. Ling Jiaze lowered the window and asked loudly, "Do you have anything to do?"
The woman was wearing a short red down jacket, a checkered woolen skirt and black leggings, and she was standing shivering by the side of the road. Hearing Ling Jiaze's voice, she waved her hands vigorously at the two of them, and said with a pleading face, "Please help me, I was thrown here by my companions!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ling Jiaze with half tears in her eyes. A gust of wind blew by, and she seemed to be very cold. She quickly tightened the down jacket on her body, but accidentally let go because of her stiff fingers, revealing the thin black skin underneath. A bottoming shirt, and an alluring curve.
Ling Jiaze: ...
Ye Xuan, who was originally concentrating on driving, glanced at her, and was inadvertently dazzled by the metal exposed in the snow under the road. He pretended to glance over there unintentionally, and then refocused his gaze on the woman. He looked her up and down, snorted coldly, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated away without even leaving a word for the woman.
Although Ling Jiaze is not very old, but because of his family environment, he has seen such little tricks of "showing himself off". Naturally, it can be seen that the woman did it on purpose just now. It is their own ability to use small tricks to climb up to others, and Ling Jiaze doesn't care, but if they want to use this to climb up to him, then forget it.
He was a little disgusted by this coquettish little trick, and lost the sympathy he had at the beginning. Seeing Ye Xuan speeding away, he didn't say anything, but silently raised the car window, still a little secret in his heart. happy.
No matter whether Ye Xuan saw through this kind of carefulness or looked down on this woman, he was quite happy.
Ye Xuan didn't know his mental activities, and he drove past the small area with full concentration before saying: "I saw metal reflections in the snow on the side of the road just now, I guess there are people inside. I don't know how many people there are, so I just said Not a word."
Both sides of this road are cornfields with a height of one person. After the heavy snowfall, the snow and corn stalks are mixed together to form a large snowdrift more than one meter high. There is no problem hiding more than a dozen people. Although both of them can fight, but the strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake. If the opponent's number is too large to control, it would be bad for the two of them to capsize in this gutter.
So he simply pretended not to like that woman, didn't entangle them too much, and left when they couldn't react. As long as they leave the cornfield where I don't know how many people have been ambushed, and the risk of being made dumplings is eliminated, even if the other party wants to tear their face and catch up, the two of them don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy.
Thinking of the trap just now, Ling Jiaze said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, you noticed it!"
"And there are ruts on the ground. After passing through that opening, there are fewer ruts on the ground. I guess someone got off the road there. It's just that people who don't go to the village and don't go to the store are forced to get off the road. Confirmed my guess."
Ling Jiaze sighed: "It's a pity for the previous passer-by. Fortunately, Ye Xuan, you are well-informed, otherwise the two of us would have been enlightened today."
Ye Xuan has often encountered such carjackings after the apocalypse. If he hadn't considered that people's hearts may not be so bad at the beginning of the apocalypse, and wanted Ling Jiaze to gain more experience, he wouldn't even slow down.
Afraid that Ling Jiaze would think too much, Ye Xuan explained: "Many years ago, there were such examples of women and children rushing out of the highway to block the road, or throwing animals directly to force the driver to stop. It was not until the monitoring became popular. Now The end of the world is coming, monitoring and other things are no longer effective, and the legal constraints are not good, so I will think of this kind of case from a long time ago and take more precautions."
"That's true. Now that the end of the world has come, I really have a dream that I have returned to decades ago. The whole world has gone backwards."
Ye Xuan saw that he looked like an adult, and couldn't help teasing him: "Decades ago? You weren't there at that time, right?"
Ling Jiaze retorted: "I heard it! I haven't seen it with my own eyes, haven't I heard it? Let me tell you, when I was at Grandpa's house..."
