After a long time, Jim spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, and smiled at Tang Sihuang and Tang Miao.
"We went to the Heijiang base this time to find a technician. He is also from M country and can repair our ship. Maybe we can return to China soon."
The faces of the other six people were more or less excited. Kyoto is the political and cultural center of country Z, and they are not the only ones who are looking forward to returning home.
Tom explained: "That boat belongs to Kate's cousin. Her cousin has been in country Z for many years and has a big yacht."
Tang Sihuang's words are very objective: "The situation in country M is definitely similar to that in country Z, and it takes at least two days to get from Kyoto to the nearest seaport. There are only a lot more zombies in coastal cities."
"We know, even if it's like this, we want to try," Jim smiled again, very optimistic, "you have to try to know the result."
Tang Sihuang didn't say much, and could understand their feelings. The few words just now were not persuasion, but just telling them the facts.
"Good luck." Tang Miao wished kindly.
"Thanks."
After that, no one spoke again, and fell asleep one after another, maybe only dreaming of zombies, maybe dreaming of family members...
At five o'clock in the morning, the convoy set off again. The further north, the lower the temperature, and there is almost no greenery along the way, and the branches are still bare. Both Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang put on down jackets. After seven o'clock, the probability of them encountering zombies and people increased, and they must be getting closer and closer to the Heijiang base.
suddenly!
"咻", a sharp arrow galloped from a distance, Tang Miao was sure that it was heading for Tiger King, frowned, and stopped the car.
"Roar—" Tiger King howled, jumped to avoid it, and stared at the withered grass not far in front of him. A few bearded men came out lazily, wearing ragged cotton jackets, tied tightly with straw ropes as belts. These people were not well dressed, but they were in good shape.
"Brothers, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, take this tiger down for me!" The man in the lead stared greedily at the Tiger King.
"okay!"
Immediately, several sharp arrows were shot at the Tiger King at the same time, some of which obviously contained the wind ability, and they were fast and steady.
With a wave of Tang Sihuang's hand, a fireball was shot out, covering the arrow, and the fire was extinguished and ashes scattered.
Tang Miao got out of the car and said with a good temper: "Guys, this tiger is my pet, and it is not suitable to be your prey."
The man was indifferent, and smiled contemptuously: "It doesn't matter whether it is a pet or not! Are you bringing this kind of beast near the human gathering place to hurt people? Little brother, you can't keep this kind of beast."
"oh?"
Tang Miao knew that he was not a good guy. He wanted to shoot arrows even though he saw Hu Wang and Hei Wei following their car. Since he didn't cherish the opportunity given to him, then don't blame him for being rude. "Hush—" A crisp whistle escaped from his lips, and the Tiger King roared up to the sky, and rushed forward bravely, while spitting out a thunderball shining with dazzling white light.
"Ah—help—" those people screamed in shock, their eyes widened in fear, and they ran with their legs folded. They didn't see the majestic appearance just now, and they didn't even dare to pick up the arrows in the quiver.
"Aw—" Tiger King roared angrily, and chased after him.
Tang Miao whistled again, and the Tiger King stopped, ran back unhurriedly, and shook his huge body majestically.
Tang Sihuang said: "Following them should be able to reach the Heijiang base."
The car drove in the direction in which the men were fleeing. About five or six minutes later, they saw a tall wall. The gate was a bit rough, but it looked very solid, and the gate was heavily guarded. The people in the base act in an orderly manner. The words "Heijiang Base" were not written, but carved out of wood. The four big characters were tied with wire and hung on the high wall, occasionally swaying in the wind.
Tang Miao drove behind the people entering the city. The Heijiang base also has a scanning machine, probably transported from the Kyoto base. After scanning, Tang Sihuang handed the base authorization letter to the staff. The staff member was wearing two sweaters of different lengths and a gray coat, and his lips were blackened in the cold wind. Seeing the letter of authorization, he looked happy, and quickly handed over the work to another staff member, planning to lead Tang Sihuang and Tang Miao to the place where the task was handed over.
Jim and the others greeted and left first.
The staff said: "This tiger..."
"It won't hurt people." Tang Sihuang said in an unquestionable tone.
The staff members were eager to report the good news and didn't want to get entangled in this matter, but they had to look back after taking two steps, for fear that the Tiger King would hurt someone.
Tang Miao was speechless. If he knew that he should find a chance to send the Tiger King into the space just outside the base. After thinking about it, he asked Tang Sihuang to take out a traction rope and put it around the tiger king's neck. A rope cannot restrain the tiger king, but at least it can reassure those who are afraid of the tiger king.
The staff led the two to a five or six-story building, took them directly to the second floor, and knocked on one of the doors. The person in charge of receiving the supplies happened to be there, and he stood up to greet Tang Sihuang and Tang Miao, surprised and delighted, he did not expect such a fast speed.
Tang Sihuang and Tang Miao followed him to the warehouse and took out all the clothes they had been transported by the Kyoto base. It took another two hours to wait for them to count, and then both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints on the authorization letter, and the task was considered completed.
The person in charge was very excited and took out a small bag of dried hazel mushrooms weighing about ten catties and insisted on giving them to them.
Tang Miao didn't refuse him, but when he and Tang Sihuang walked near the trading market in the base, they secretly distributed the dried hazel mushrooms to a few people who seemed to know that they were not doing well. The survivors of the Heijiang base are much more difficult than the survivors of the Kyoto base.
"This..." Those people held dried hazel mushrooms and looked at Tang Miao with tears in their eyes, unable to believe such good luck. Each of them doesn't share much, but after soaking the dried food, they can eat a lot, and one or two catties is not too little. Several people stood up to thank them.
Tang Miao didn't want to attract more people's attention, so she stopped them in time and dragged Tang Sihuang away quickly.
Those people were very clever, and they didn't dare to stay where they were, and ran away quickly with their things in their arms.
"Daddy, it is said that hazel mushrooms are very nutritious and are listed as a first-class food by many developed countries. Let's look for them and buy some by the way."
"You make up your mind." Tang Sihuang felt that Tang Xiaomiao was very good, neither too holy nor too cold-blooded.
The two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked deep into the market. The market here is a few levels below the Kyoto base, but there are quite a few good things. Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang specifically searched for the specialties here, which are basically dry goods, such as black fungus, Hericium erinaceus, matsutake mushroom, yuan mushroom, elm yellow mushroom, chanterelle mushroom, pine mushroom, etc. Tang who loves to eat these Miao smiled until the dimples on her face never disappeared.
Tang Sihuang was his cash machine and porter, following behind him unhurriedly.
The market here is not as mature as the market in the Kyoto base. Most people want food, not crystal nuclei. Tang Miao didn't dare to take out rice, and mainly exchanged with them with sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and wheat. In addition, there are all kinds of wild vegetables dug up by the survivors, such as bracken, welt, cucumber fragrance, thorn sprouts, wild lily, monkey leg vegetables, willow wormwood, etc., as long as they are found by Tang Miao, he will buy them. Down.
There are very few wild animals. Most of the wild animals caught by the survivors were eaten as food, but some people took them out and sold them, hoping to exchange for a larger amount of ordinary food, which would allow them to last longer. livelihood.
Tang Miao finally got the skinned five hares and nine sand chickens, and ordered two live deer, three live spores, and five live gazelles to take them away when he left the Heijiang base. He intends to feed them in the space, and then kill and eat them after breeding more.
After visiting half of the market, it was already noon. Tang Miao couldn't wait to taste the dried mushrooms, and dragged Tang Sihuang to rent a house, planning to stay at the Heijiang base for two more days, at least to finish shopping in the trading market.
Not long after the two left the trading market, they found out that they were being followed. I didn't feel that anyone was following them in the market before, so it can be confirmed that the person following them did not know their high transaction volume today, which means that they should not come here for money.
The two just pretended not to know, asked passers-by, and successfully rented a house with two bedrooms and one living room. Tang Miao went to the kitchen to make lunch. Tang Sihuang hid by the window and observed downstairs. After seeing the two people following them confirming their address, he left in a hurry.
Tang Sihuang turned and walked into the kitchen.
"Miao, something interesting should happen today."
"That will have to wait until we have lunch." Tang Miao was very calm.
Dry goods need to be soaked for at least an hour, and after one o'clock, two people can eat. The stewed chicken with hazel mushroom vermicelli and fried meat with fungus made Tang Miao full again. Tang Sihuang felt that this guy couldn't get used to this kind of problem, but he still had to rub his stomach resignedly.
"Go, go out to digest food."
"I don't want to move." Tang Miao acted as if she had no bones, and leaned against Tang Sihuang without moving.
Tang Sihuang pinched his butt so hard that he had no choice but to jump up.
Tang Miao moved forward at the speed of stepping on ants, so Tang Sihuang and the three animals had to follow suit.
Sure enough, less than five minutes after they left the house, they felt being followed again. This time the number of people following is a little more.
The two pretended not to know, and walked out of the base directly. The three tiger kings are all spiritual, and they are not noisy or noisy, very quiet.
When they arrived at a remote place, someone in the dark suddenly shot a cold arrow.
Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang chased after him. The three tiger kings followed closely behind, their bodies vigorous and swift.
