Ye Xuan, who thought there were two people and two quilts before going to bed, was slapped in the face by himself unsurprisingly—when he woke up, one of the unfortunate quilts was kicked under the bed by the two of them, and the other one survived. The quilt was tightly wrapped by the two of them, and it was very technically wrapped around the two adult men, and no air leaked in to wake him up in the middle of the night. It can be said that a small double quilt is the pinnacle of life.
Looking at Ling Jiaze who was still sleeping peacefully in his arms after changing the quilt in his sleep, Ye Xuan, who was still not very clear-headed, suddenly realized that it was not the first time he woke up in the same quilt as Ling Jiaze .
One, two, three... He himself didn't know how many times this was.
Thinking of the night when the two of them were on the way to the base more than half a month ago, he would wake up because Ling Jiaze bumped into him in his sleep, and even almost subconsciously hurt him. It's only been half a month now, and because of various conditions, two people were forced to share the same bed, so he completely let go of his guard. He didn't even know that someone ran into his arms in the middle of the night, so Ye Xuan could only Feeling used to this thing is terrible.
In just half a month, he was able to let go of the vigilance he had cultivated for ten years. He really didn't know whether he should be said to have been worn down by the comfort of this period of time, or if he had completely adapted to Ling Jiaze being by his side. It was a long time before he was allowed to enter the territory at will without his own defense.
The former is not a good thing, and he can't say whether the latter is a good thing, anyway, it's not a bad thing.
If anything, the only good thing is that he doesn't have to worry about hurting Ling Jiaze again because of his subconscious actions one day. He really didn't want to experience the fact that he almost killed his friend while he was half asleep and half awake.
"Hmm—" Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze both had a biological clock for waking up early because they had to get up early every day to go on their way. Ye Xuan had only woken up for a few minutes when Ling Jiaze made a sound, obviously he was going to wake up soon.
Sure enough, about a minute later, Ling Jiaze opened his eyes in a daze, saw Ye Xuan leaning beside him, instinctively leaned towards him, raised his head and asked, "What time is it?"
Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, Ling Jiaze's voice was exceptionally soft, with a drawn-out tone, it sounded like he was being coquettish.
Ye Xuan felt a little itchy when he was teased by his voice, and seeing his white chest unconsciously exposed, he felt a little hot all over. He turned his face away in embarrassment, and said hoarsely: "It's not until seven o'clock, I'll make breakfast first, and you can sleep for a while if you're sleepy."
"No." Ling Jiaze bit his lip, struggled out of the thick quilt, and quickly put on the thick coat that was thrown aside, and said, "I heard several cars passing by before I went to bed last night, and I was still vaguely I heard someone talking, probably passing by this place and staying overnight. You cook, I'll find out where they come from."
"I'm going to inquire about the news after washing up? I'll take out the wontons I wrapped earlier, cook them after you wash up, and have something hot for breakfast." Ling Jiaze doesn't talk much and often has a cold face to outsiders, and normal communication is no problem. But it's not enough to inquire about the news. On the contrary, although he is not a good person inside, he has more experience in dealing with people. As long as he is willing, it is easy for people to let go of their guard.
Anyway, there is no technical content in cooking wontons. Even if Ling Jiaze is not very good at cooking, it is still no problem to cook wontons for the next dumpling.
Ling Jiaze readily agreed, "Then you go, I'll boil water and wait for you."
He was not a person who was good at dealing with people before and after the apocalypse, and he had no intention of changing before the apocalypse, let alone this post-apocalypse, who didn't need to deal with people much.
Ye Xuan thought about the number of cars he heard yesterday, and said, "I may have to go around for a while, if you are hungry, you can eat first."
"Oh", Ling Jiaze responded, neither agreeing nor objecting.
…
—
Ye Xuan simply washed up, changed his clothes, and went out.
Coincidentally, last night there happened to be a group of people living in the yard opposite the two of them. As soon as Ye Xuan went out, he saw the gate of the opposite yard was wide open, and a burly man in sportswear was cleaning the car in the yard. of snow.
The two of them met face to face, and Ye Xuan took the lead and said, "Brother, my friend and I passed by this village yesterday and stayed across from you for a night. Are you also passing by here?"
He has a good appearance, and it is easy for people to let go of their guard when he smiles slightly. Although the man in the courtyard didn't let his guard down completely, he smiled back and said, "We were passing by too, and it happened to be getting late, so we stayed here overnight. No, we have to pack up and prepare to leave early in the morning."
"The two of us went north to look for relatives in city B. Brother, which direction did you come from? I'm afraid of walking the wrong way these two days. It's rare to see a car traveling. I want to ask you which road is nearby. It’s better to go, so as not to take a long detour and delay the reunion with the family.”
Ye Xuan first mentioned his destination. After thinking about it for a while, the man felt that there was nothing to hide about his destination. Besides, the roads near the village were in two directions. Knowing the direction the other party was going, he answered Ye Xuan's words without much hesitation, "We are also going north, so we can't show you the way."
The man didn't mention the matter of traveling together, and Ye Xuan didn't take the initiative to move forward, and said simply: "Well...then I won't waste brother's time, and I'll go back first, and we will see each other by fate!"
The man was also very satisfied with Ye Xuan's unobtrusive energy, and simply responded, "See you again!"
After leaving the yard, Ye Xuan walked around the neighborhood again, silently observed the convoy that came last night, and then went to the area where the villagers lived, and used the bag that he took out from the space under the cover of his backpack. A few bags of dehydrated vegetables were exchanged for the crystal nuclei collected by the villagers, and some deceptive firewood was carried all the way back, so that the people in the convoy would not become suspicious when they saw him wandering around the village early in the morning.
As soon as he entered the room, Ye Xuan saw Ling Jiaze wearing an apron sitting on a small bench next to the induction cooker, staring at the boiling pot on the stove seriously, with such a serious expression that people who didn't know would think he was doing something It's a crucial chemical experiment, or a big weapon that will destroy the world in a second.
"Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why are you still waiting for me to come back?"
"It's boring to eat alone. I don't think I'm hungry, so I'll wait for you to come back." Ling Jiaze asked while putting wontons in the pot, "You've been away for so long, did you ask anything?"
"I know something." Ye Xuan put the firewood in his arms into the space, washed his hands and sat by the induction cooker to take over Ling Jiaze's task of ordering wontons. "The whole convoy that came yesterday was mostly from the army. The few people who seem to have a strong collective consciousness are probably people from a certain base. They are also going to the north, but they have no plans to go the same way with us."
Although none of the people I saw today were wearing military uniforms, Ye Xuan could easily tell their origins from their small movements, such as their tall and straight postures, and their measured steps... If someone like Ling Jiaze has lived in the army or someone in his family is a soldier, if the whole team is like this, then he can only be a member of the army.
Moreover, according to Ye Xuan's inference, there is a high probability that this group of people will be elite soldiers before the end of the world, otherwise their aura could not be so strong. Take the first man he met as an example. Although he is not a supernatural being, Ye Xuan feels that he is much more difficult to deal with than some first-level supernatural beings, and the blood of zombies on his hands is definitely inevitable.
"If you don't go with us, don't go with us. Although everyone is heading north, it doesn't necessarily go in the same direction. If you don't go with us, you can avoid disputes over the choice of route!" Ling Jiaze muttered in a low voice before saying: " But I remember that there seems to be no place suitable for building a base in the north, and the survivors I met on the road didn’t say that there is any big base nearby, so where do you think they will go when they go north?”
After the apocalypse, the crowded cities basically became zombie paradises or dead cities, and most of the survivors were forced to leave the city center. Villages and towns that are far away from the city and have a vacuum area with few people are more suitable for building bases, but small villages and towns can accommodate fewer people, and large enough villages and towns are not easy to find. It is better to build bases in nearby military areas like City C It is hard to come by. So they look at the map to understand the distribution of the population here before the end of the world, and they can guess where there is a base.
This large area is all farmland. Although there are several villages in the farmland, it is still too difficult to form a base. Ling Jiaze thinks that there will not be any large-scale bases nearby.
"By the way!" He stood up suddenly and took the map from behind, pointing to a place circled by Ye Xuan and said, "Do you think it is possible for them to go to Xiangping Town? If the news received by the base in City C is really the end of the world If it was sent out later, it is very likely that it will be sent to other bases as well. If the city c base does not send people, it does not mean that other bases will not send people, they will probably send a team to check the situation!"
Ye Xuan, who still felt that the place name of Xiangping Town was very familiar, looked at the route he had planned, estimated the distance between the small village and Xiangping Town, and calculated with the driving speed of the past two days: "We will go along this route. If you go northward, you can reach Xiangping Town in at least one day and two days at most, and we will know what's going on when we get to the town."
Ling Jiaze filled a bowl of wontons, and said vaguely: "I hope that the news is really sent out after the end of the world, so that people from different regions can meet each other and learn more about the situation in various parts of the country. By the way, if they also go to Xiangping Town, will we go with them?"
Ye Xuan said casually: "We should go the same way, but everyone's departure time is different, so we may not meet each other."
However, he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!
