When Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze came north to City B, the plan they adopted was to study the map more to minimize the possibility of detours, and then spend the remaining time on increasing the comfort of the trip.
Generally speaking, from around ten o'clock, Ye Xuan would look for a nearby place to rest and have lunch on the map, and around four o'clock, he would start thinking about where to rest at night, except for one or two times when the road was blocked or In the special situation of road collapse, both of them will eat three meals a day on time, and find a place that can shelter from wind and rain to rest, and they are rarely forced to make do with it.
In addition, the two will change positions every hour or so, and get out of the car to move around.
Coupled with Ye Xuan's dedication in eating and the constant supply of crystal nuclei, the two of them didn't feel too tired even after driving for nearly a month without falling.
But Shen Ping was different. Last time he was dragged down by the heavy snow and heavy trucks and had to slow down. This time, in order to avoid the situation of attracting zombies due to crowds, and also to be able to return to the northwest faster, He really tried to compress the rest time of the team as much as possible.
For two days in a row, the group of them strictly abided by the devil's arrangement of gathering at 6:00 in the morning, starting at 6:30, stopping for ten minutes every three hours, and finding a place to rest at 6:00 in the evening. The time spent sitting in the car every day For up to twelve hours, Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze were forced to recall the painful experience of taking a long-distance plane before the end of the world.
Even so, the two of them didn't propose to sit on the big truck.
There is no way, Shen Ping, in order to save more fuel for driving, each truck is stuck with the maximum capacity to hold dozens of people and a lot of supplies. Although there is still some room for walking and resting, there is not much distance between people, and people can bump into each other when they move too much.
Thinking of having to be in the same room with so many people all the time, both of them refused physically and mentally.
…
Throwing the backpack under the bed, Ling Jiaze lay down on the bed as if exhausted and complained to Ye Xuan: "EH768, I will never forget this license plate number in my life."
At the front of the convoy were three off-road vehicles, then a dozen large trucks, and finally several off-road vehicles. Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze were not familiar with the road here, so they were arranged to run along behind the truck in a relatively safe place.
In order to save fuel, the truck can hold a lot of people, and its size is naturally not small. Running in front can almost block all the sight of the cars behind. The two of them drove for a day, but they didn't see the road ahead at all, and there was only a big army green truck left in front of them.
Although seeing more green is good for the eyes, it is enough mental torture for a day. Ling Jiaze can now close his eyes and watch the car dangling in front of his eyes.
Ye Xuan sat next to Ling Jiaze, brushed the broken hair on his forehead, and said warmly: "Tomorrow we will be driving on an uncleared route, the order of the convoy should be changed, the two of us will switch to the front at that time go?"
Ling Jiaze replied sullenly: "Let me ask my little uncle how to arrange it."
"That's fine." Ye Xuan lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and then said: "Then you rest here first, I'll go out and ask them what they have for dinner, and I'll bring you the meal later."
Ling Jiaze shook his head, turned over and lay down in Ye Xuan's arms, wrapped his arms around his waist and said weakly: "No, I don't want to eat..."
Ye Xuan adjusted his posture to make him lie more comfortably, then lowered his head and asked, "Are you hungry or have no appetite?"
Ling Jiaze buried his face in his arms and did not answer the question.
Ye Xuan looked at the cat-like Ling Jiaze, thought for a while and said, "Then let's have a small stove at night, you order food and I cook for you, how about?"
Ling Jiaze was moved, but still refused, "You can't let them know that you have space."
Ye Xuan sighed, "Now we have to go together for more than half a month at least, and maybe we will go out of the base together in the future. It is impossible for me to keep this secret for a long time. Besides, I Are you going to hand over this batch of supplies in your hand?"
He kept secrets from Space in his previous life. Firstly, because his own strength was not enough to make people fearful and deter people with a heart. Second, there was no need to use Space in front of outsiders, so he kept it a secret. down.
In this life, he thinks he has the strength to protect himself, and he has a large amount of unused materials in Xiangpingzhen's warehouse in his hands, so it is meaningless to keep this secret.
There is also a little selfishness of his - he doesn't want to be forced to lower his quality of life for a secret that doesn't need to be hidden when he and Ling Jiaze can obviously live more comfortably.
The two of them can obviously be exquisite in everything from eating to being useful, so why should they suffer that
Ling Jiaze turned around, lay on Ye Xuan's lap and looked at him, and asked uncertainly, "Really?"
After asking, he regretted it again, and felt that he shouldn't have said that. He was afraid that Ye Xuan would make this decision because of himself and expose his secret. He was a little ashamed and said: "I just didn't get used to eating big pot meals at the beginning. It will be fine in two days, don't make this decision because of me."
According to Shen Ping's arrangement, during the second break in the morning of these two days, the soldiers of a truck will start cooking in the compartment, and then distribute it to all the people in the truck during the rest, and will do the second meal after they are stationed at night. Make a meal and distribute the next day's breakfast ahead of time.
Although it is more nutritious than the boiled compressed biscuits and noodles in Xiangping Town, due to the limited ingredients and the somewhat rough cooking method of the big pot dishes, the meals for the past two days have basically reached the level of eating. For the end of the world It was hard for Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze, who had never had a hard time eating before, to accept it.
He and Ye Xuan used the space to eat lunch and dinner with the buns in the space yesterday, and after barely having a meal with the big army at noon today, he really didn't want to have another meal like this tonight.
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Xuan poked his smooth forehead, and said amusedly: "I'll be thinking wildly all day long! If you're not used to eating big pot meals, I'll get used to it? Besides, even if it's the two of us You can use the materials in the space, have you forgotten how many crystal nuclei I changed before? Tens of thousands of crystal nuclei are piled up in your hands, and you can’t see them from the outside at all. Do you think that Second Uncle Shen didn’t notice anything?”
He said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will not change my mind no matter who comes to do anything I don't want to do. Don't think about whether you are dragging me down again, whether I am doing something because of you It's against your will!"
Ling Jiaze muttered, "But every decision you make is exactly what I expected..."
"That can only show that the two of us have a good understanding!"
After Ye Xuan said a word of love, he successfully pulled back Ling Jiaze, who had lost his way of thinking once. He showed his first relaxed smile since he set off. He wrapped his hands around Ye Xuan's neck and pulled him over, smiling and biting. Touched his Adam's apple.
"Senior, I really like you so much!"
How can there be such a person in the world, whether it is behavior or language, it seems to be made according to the mold he yearned for in his heart, even more perfect than the expectation in his dream
—
After Ye Xuan went out and told the soldiers in charge of cooking that there was no need to prepare meals for the two of them, he went to Shen Ping and told Shen Ping to invite him to his and Ling Jiaze's room for dinner, then he stared at him inquiringly and returned to the room to cook The meal is gone.
He is not a peerless chef, but after cooking for many years, he has developed his culinary skills. Coupled with the fact that Ling Jiaze didn't eat much at noon, he tried every means to make this dinner more delicate and delicious.
Braised pork ribs, two meat dishes consisting of tomato sirloin, three ingredients consisting of stir-fried vegetables, king oyster mushrooms in sauce, and stir-fried broccoli, plus a large bowl of delicious fresh mushroom tofu soup, five dishes and one soup Three bowls of rice were filled to the brim, enough to entertain guests even before the apocalypse.
When Shen Ping came, Ye Xuan, the chef, was preparing to fry the last vegetable stir-fry, and Ling Jiaze, who was helping him, was staring at the gurgling tomato beef brisket and braised pork ribs, trying to tell them all the changes as soon as possible. Ye Xuan, the "chef".
The full breath of life made Shen Ping mistakenly think that what he opened was a door of time and space that brought people back to the end of the world. It took a long time before he was awakened by the simple decoration inside and the white snowy field outside.
Like Ling Jiaze, Shen Ping has no cooking skills at all, and he hasn't even been in the kitchen since childhood. He looked at the side dishes on the chopping board and the small saucepan on the coal stove that Ye Xuan had prepared, but he couldn't deduce from these half-finished products what the two of them were preparing for dinner.
He asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, and his brain, temporarily blinded by the delicious food, returned to normal operation in an instant. He sharply asked Ye Xuan who was adding oil to the hot pan: "The ingredients you two are not dehydrated vegetables and Canned food?"
Even if he had never cooked before, he knew that the braised pork ribs that Ling Jiaze was serving could not have come from a can.
Which can can put ribs in it
Ling Jiaze shook his head, holding the big bowl of pork ribs in one hand and pushing Shen Ping towards the table with the other, "Sit down first, little uncle, we two will come over and explain to you after cooking."
Shen Ping was afraid that he would spill the bowl in his hand, so he could only walk forward with his strength, and said while walking, "You two will really surprise me!"
In addition to ingredients that are incompatible with the last days, there are also cooking tools that are completely different from those used in the team, a full set of tables and chairs that appear out of thin air in the house, and a big bed that is obviously many times more comfortable...
Everything points to a possibility—some of these two boys have spatial abilities, and they have collected a lot of good things.
As for the specific one, Shen Ping had a hunch that it was Ye Xuan.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Shen Ping: You already have spatial abilities, why do you only prepare one bed? !
It is impossible for Ye Xuan to bring the whole team to eat delicious food. They usually use things prepared before the end of the world. If they take them out, they won’t be able to supply them for a long time.
