Returning to the End of the World

Chapter 10: Little Taoist

Views:

Cheng Pei's imperial skills are completely different from Zhang Kaiyi's. Zhang Kaiyi was originally from a grassroots background, but he was able to overwhelm the people below because of his strength. Cheng Pei is stronger than him, but he likes to use a gentle way. His age Not to mention, although the awakened ability made him look younger, the wife who was actually a few years younger than him looked a few years older than him, but her experience was different from that of a young man, and she Because he taught archery in a club, he was very good at dealing with people, and he spoke in a gentle manner, not as sharp as his arrows.

So when Shen Chi arrived at Cheng Pei's territory, he was always like an invisible man and no one said anything. They really believed in Cheng Pei, and such subordinates were undoubtedly more difficult to buy.

Because of Cheng Pei's order, those people treated Shen Chi, Shen Liumu, and Ji Jia well, especially the little Ji Jia who had a beautiful face and a shy smile. Of course, except for Shen Chi, no one found that the puppet in Ji Jia's arms had a pair Belonging to the human eyeball.

Cheng Pei did not live in the central area of Jiading, but in a golf club in Jiading, which is quite far from the center of Shanghai, but much closer to Taicang City, which shows Cheng Pei's determination to go north. The golf course is actually a very good leisure place. It is spacious, comfortable, and quiet, with a large space and a wide view. In this kind of post-apocalyptic city full of zombies, the golf club has become a different kind of paradise. The design of this stadium is very exquisite and pays attention to details. There are mountains and rivers, villas are scattered, and there are special water storage rooms and independent backup power generation rooms in the senior clubhouse. When all the vegetation is dying, the scenery here is still not bad.

Shen Chi also wanted to go north. He remembered that the place where the first B-level zombie appeared was not too far away from here, but the time was not too far away. Early humans evolved slowly, and so did zombies. Now half a year has passed, A very small number of zombies have begun to change. Ordinary zombies have no mind and only attack by instinct. They are slow and like to eat raw meat. They have few advantages except for their strength. But B-level zombies already have mind, and their speed is not ordinary. Zombies are comparable, and they are much stronger in any aspect.

If I remember correctly, the first B-level zombie appeared in a nearby county in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. It is known as the hometown of longevity. It is said that it is related to the rich selenium in the local water and soil. Raising people, in the last days, also raising zombies, the first few B-level zombies all appeared in one place, fortunately, that place is not far from Shanghai, if it was in a peaceful age, it would only be a few hours' drive away.

However, before that, he wanted to go to the beach first.

"Jiajia's mother wanted to send her to a place on the Bund," Shen Chi said to Cheng Pei, "It's full of zombies now, so I can't get in, but she also has an uncle who lives in Chongming, I want to take her to see it." look."

Cheng Pei sighed, "Xiao Shen, you are kind. Jiajia is a good and obedient child. She is lucky to meet you. Do you need me to send someone to accompany you? The journey will not be peaceful."

"No, Brother Cheng, you can give me a car. I can take care of my two children. I should be back within a week, and it's fine if I can't find anyone." Shen Chi said sincerely.

Cheng Pei nodded, "That's fine, we'll go north in half a month, and you'll be ready when you come back."

"good."

Cheng Pei was very interesting. He gave Shen Chi a Land Rover, but in this day and age, good cars are not good enough. Many people can't exchange a good car for a bag of rice. If there is no gasoline, What's the use of having a car!

After filling up enough oil, Shen Chi stopped by the grain and oil warehouse pointed by Ji Jia, and when he opened the door, he realized that it was even bigger than he imagined!

"Hey, it seems that there are a lot of things." Ji Jia stood at the door holding the puppet.

Shen Chi looked at it, and knew without thinking that Zhang Kai must have let it go. The location is remote and not easy to find. It is really a good place to hide things. The game's backpack couldn't fit so many things, so he finally just took some rice noodles and made a big bag and threw it into the backpack. He also put two very large oil barrels and soy sauce barrels with taps in the warehouse into the backpack. Fortunately, the eggs and Salted duck eggs can be stacked, but only in groups of 200. The egg Shen Chi alone has seven grids, a total of 1,400, and 400 salted duck eggs, which are placed in his game backpack. Things never break, it's a pity his backpack is only so big. Instead, I wiped out all the seasonings in the warehouse and wrapped them in a large piece of canvas. In a few years after the end of the world, these things will be more expensive than rice noodles! When most of the land is polluted, most of the limited land is used to grow things that can satisfy our hunger, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and wheat. If we can’t get enough to eat, whoever has the heart to grow other things will naturally have a sharp reduction in seasonings. .

After the apocalypse for so long, it seems that except for the first week in the playground, they have been raised by someone, and they didn't pay much attention to food at all, and Shen Chi didn't make food for Drift Wood.

In fact, at this time, he has already decided to part ways with Cheng Pei as soon as possible. If the going to the beach goes well, he won't go back at all for half a month. Where is the location, the most important thing is to get more advanced crystals. Originally, he and Liumu had been using the crystals in their backpacks to survive. Later, when hunting, he could only dig out the crystals from the zombies that he secretly hunted at night. , now that there is one more Ji Jia, Shen Chi feels that it is not enough, the more powerful the ability, the more Yuanjing he can absorb, and the same is true for himself, under the command of others, he has no way to let go, At least after saving enough goods, go find a new shield.

As night fell, Ji Jia shrank in the back seat of the car, her stomach growling with hunger.

"Come on, get out of the car, I'll get some food."

In the woods by the highway, Shen Chi saw two bright eyes flash past.

Whether it is an evolved animal or an unevolved animal, they are all edible things. Shen Chi took the two children out of the car, and before he lifted his feet, he saw a few zombies with green eyes glowing. Wandering in the woods.

This place has been desolate since the apocalypse, and weeds have grown up on the side of the highway that was originally well maintained. These zombies should be people who died in a car accident when the apocalypse came. All of them are strange and disgusting. Shen Chi was thinking He raised his hand to clean up these zombies, but looked towards the forest in his heart.

"Hurry up like a law, order!" A clear voice suddenly pierced the night sky, and the air rose to the sky!

Those zombies immediately slowed down, and then they were split into scorched black by several thunder lights and fell down all at once, exuding an unpleasant smell.

A figure much shorter than expected appeared in Shen Chi's line of sight—

Ugh, this looks like a kid at all! And there is a subtle sense of intrusion in the clothes, so that people will never mistake this for a Taoist priest.

In his previous life, Shen Chi had seen Taoist priests, and the Taoist robes of Wudang Taoist priests were quite fresh and elegant, as graceful as heaven, and looked very heroic with a refined steel sword. The little Taoist priest in front of me has his hair tied up, a square scarf, and a yellow gossip robe. It feels weird like the Taoist priests in the earliest ghost movies in Hong Kong came out. However, seeing the solemn face of this little Taoist priest And with a much longer life than ordinary people, he knew that he couldn't really be regarded as a little actor who went wrong on the set, especially since he showed such a skill just now.

But judging from his appearance, this little Taoist priest should be only about ten years old. How can I say about his appearance, he is quite fairy-like, with long eyebrows, handsome eyes, high nose, thin lips, and a cold face that is not easy to get close to.

As a child, it's not cute to a certain extent!

"Excuse me, sir, how far is it from Beijing?"

Shen Chi's eyes were strange: "...Beijing?"

The little Taoist priest with an ice-mountain face looked serious, "Master said that if you travel from Maoshan to Beijing in the first half year, you will definitely get there, but now I haven't seen the Great Wall he mentioned."

Shen Chi: "..."

"However, Beijing is still far away from here. This is Shanghai." Ji Jia said timidly.

The little Taoist was taken aback, "Shanghai?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his stomach growling, the sound was very clear.

Shen Chi laughed, this little Taoist priest got lost on the cliff! It took half a year to walk from Maoshan to a place close to Chongming. How many kilometers is this? He shook his head and lamented how poor this person's sense of direction was, but he was still a child, so it was not incomprehensible, "What about your master?"

"Dead." The little Taoist said quietly, "Not only the master, everyone in my Maoshan sect has died, and now I am the only one left."

Now even Shen Liumu felt that he was a little bit pitiful, but his sympathy was probably just a little bit, and he glanced at the little Taoist priest before turning his head and tugging at the corner of Shen Chi's clothes, " Dad, I'm hungry."

Shen Chi remembered the talisman that the little Taoist priest had before, "Are you hungry?"

The little Taoist nodded.

"I can use food to buy your talisman." Shen Chi said, to be honest, it was the first time he had seen an authentic Taoist talisman. Taoist priests in Wudang are not good at talismans, but only good at martial arts. One kind of way, the power of the Taoist talisman of this little Taoist priest in Maoshan is not bad, logically he should be able to survive in the last days and have a bit of fame, but Shen Chi has never heard of him, but he doesn't know what happened to him, Maybe he had suffered early, maybe he had been wandering in the south, so Shen Chi hadn't heard of his reputation.

Shen Chi admitted that he was somewhat interested in these talismans, and now that Shen Liumu and Ji Jia were too weak, getting some talismans would help them defend themselves.

The little Taoist hesitated for a moment, but quickly responded, "Deal!"

Shen Chi's figure disappeared into the darkness, Shen Liumu turned his eyes to look at the little Taoist priest, smiling innocently and cutely, "What's your name?"

"Mingyue."

"Oh." Shen Liumu waved to him, and said with a smile, "Come, come and sit."

Ji Jia obediently sat beside Shen Liumu, looking at the little Taoist named Mingyue with pity.

Mingyue felt a chill down her back, but she still looked like two cute and normal looking children, so she sat down next to Shen Liumu without any precautions.

"Master Mingyue, do you know how expensive the food is now?"

Mingyue nodded honestly, "I know."

"The current food is more precious than human life." Shen Liumu sighed.

Mingyue deeply felt the same way, "I've seen a few people kill a busload of people for a biscuit before."

"Alas." Shen Liumu propped his chin and sighed, "The world is difficult."

Mingyue nodded, "Yes, yes."

Ji Jia pursed her lips, and quietly tugged on Mingyue's Taoist robe.

As soon as Mingyue turned her head, she bumped into a pair of watery black eyes, and immediately turned her head uncomfortably.

Shen Liumu glared at Ji Jia, so the little girl didn't dare to remind this stupid little Taoist anymore.

Soon Shen Chi came back. He hunted a pheasant, and because it was a mutant, it was much bigger than an ordinary pheasant, enough for him and his two children to eat.

Shen Chi, who has lived in the apocalypse for many years, skillfully set up a simple stove, cut it cleanly with a knife without any water—

This skill is called Pao Ding. Shen Chi's Tang Sect account is full-level Pao Ding and cooking. After so many years of practice, his skills are no longer generally proficient.

In just a quarter of an hour, an alluring fragrance floated in the air.

Shen Liumu sniffed, thinking that this stupid Taoist priest should risk his life in exchange for the food made by his father himself!

The stomachs of the three children were gurgling in unison, and they were drooling and looking at Shen Chi adoringly.

They never knew meals could be so delicious!

Crispy chicken chops, fried chicken gizzards, thick and fresh chicken soup, shredded chicken noodles, and two brightly colored poached eggs that make your index finger twitch. Let alone the apocalypse, even the peaceful era, the delicacies from Shen Chi's men are enough It makes people feel so delicious that they want to swallow their tongues!

Shen Liumu and Ji Jia are the poached eggs, and the little Taoist has no share.

He held a bowl of chicken shredded noodles and watched the three people eat eagerly.

Ji Jia carefully tore open the poached egg, "Uncle Shen, Jia Jia only needs to eat half of it."

"that… "

Shen Chi sighed in his heart, for the little girl's sensibility, "You can eat, uncle won't eat."

"oh."

"that… "

Shen Liumu silently put his poached eggs into Shen Chi's bowl, and insisted, "Dad won't eat it, and neither will I."

Shen Chi was helpless.

Shen Liumu scratched his face, stubbornly ignoring the tempting poached egg.

"that… "

Shen Chi had no choice but to divide the poached egg into two halves, "Forget it, you eat half and I eat half, okay?"

"Then dad will eat first."

"that… "

There is a lot of fun here, and the little Taoist priest who kept making the sound of "that" frowned, looked at the empty big bowl, and rubbed his stomach with a bitter face, oh, why does a bowl of noodles make me more hungry, it's so delicious Ah, he has never eaten such a delicious thing...

"Where's the talisman?" Shen Chi watched Shen Liumu eat the poached egg before he had time to look at Mingyue.

The little Taoist put down his bowl and saluted Shen Chi solemnly, "Maoshan Zong Mingyue owes Mr. Shen a life-saving grace. There is no need to mention the matter of buying talismans with food. Mingyue's life is Mr. Shen's! Mr. Shen has an order, Mingyue Don't dare to refuse!"

Shen Chi: "..."

Save, life, big, kind, ni, sister!

Shen Liumu's eyes widened, "When did my father save your life?"

"Didn't you say that food is more precious than human life now?"

Shen Liumu: "..." Damn it, this damned Taoist priest is cunning and cunning at all!

"From today onwards, Mingyue volunteers to follow Mr. Shen to be sent by Mr. Shen." The little Taoist priest with Bingshan's face had a serious expression, "My Taoists have something to say, and I will never go back on my words once I say it!"

... This is completely forced binding! I'm going!
