Kissing is impossible, only by fighting zombies to gain level-up experience.
Lian Runing went to cook instant noodles, Hao Jian took out the small stone carving Lian Runing gave her from her trousers pocket.
At first, she threw the phone in the car because she thought it was heavy. She only carried this small stone sculpture and the smart watch on her hand in her trouser pocket. She thought optimistically that she didn't have any belongings either, at least she had these two things.
Lian Runing brought the boiled instant noodles to her, and when she saw the small stone carving in her hand, some strange emotions rose in her heart, and she asked, "Do you still have it?"
"Anyway, I exchanged it for a pack of instant noodles. I keep it as a souvenir." Hao Jian raised the corners of his lips, put it away, and then reached out to pick up the instant noodles.
Lian Runing's mood gradually improved, she sat down beside Hao Jian, ate instant noodles, and occasionally looked around to see if any zombies were approaching.
"What's your plan next?" Lian Runing asked.
Hao Jian paused. In fact, she noticed that Lian Runing was comforting Xin Ting constantly, but she was actually comforting herself.
Compared with Hao Jian, who had the task given by the system, and Xin Ting, who was aimless, Lian Runing's mood to leave was the most urgent. She desperately wanted to go back to Nanfang City to find her family, but she was desperate because of the desperate situation in front of her. Feeling disheartened, she used comforting words to make herself seem less vulnerable.
"Do you still have a cell phone?" Hao Jian asked back.
"Have."
Lian Ruling's mobile phone was thrown in her backpack. Except for the walkie-talkie, most of her belongings were still there.
"give me."
Hao Jian used Lian Runing's mobile phone to check her offline map. Suddenly, she thought about it, and ran to the convenience store to rummage. After a while, she found a stack of maps, including the national traffic atlas, as well as the province and the city.
She took a pen and drew circles on it for a while, before she said, "Look around the gas station, either a car repair shop or a 4S shop. There are some low-rise houses around, which shows that the population here can be accommodated. It’s not too dense. And according to Li Chang and others, many people rushed back to the countryside after the incident, so the number of zombies here will be relatively less now.”
"Judging from today's situation, there are really not many zombies here." A glimmer of hope rose in Lian Runing's heart.
"There are several second-hand car shops a few hundred meters from here. We can go there and try our luck to see if there are any cars we can drive. Then there is a viaduct two kilometers away. After the viaduct, there are farmlands all around. There are bound to be fewer zombies wandering there than there are on this road now."
Although after the chaos, the second-hand car store's cars will probably be robbed, but even if they can pick up a battery car, it is still better than their walking.
"So..." Hao Jian stared at Lian Runing, "Are you ready to fight tomorrow?"
Although it is only a few hundred meters on the map, there may be hundreds of zombies in these hundreds of meters. This seemingly short road on weekdays has many terrifying and unknown dangers lurking. Is she confident
Lian Ru Ning took a deep breath and finally nodded solemnly.
Hao Jian gave the axe to practice Runing: "The axe is more lethal than the fruit knife, you bring it, I will use the crowbar to give the fruit knife to Xin Ting, as for the rest of the Swiss Army knife, hide it on your body for self-defense. "
After the weapons were divided, the sky was completely dark. They dared not turn on the lights, so they could only use their flashlights to the faintest light to move in the convenience store.
"Go to sleep first, then change me." Hao Jian said to Lian Runing.
"Can you do it?" Lian Runing worried. Hao Jian asked her to rest first and then to herself. There were often changes in the middle of the night, and Hao Jian's sleep time was reduced.
"Well, I still have something to do."
"It's still early, let me help you!"
Hao Jian didn't say more, she collected everything available in the convenience store.
For most people, the oil, grains, beverages and food in the convenience store are their primary search, so very few of these things remain. But things like car lubricants, simple repair tools, auto parts, and daily necessities are not necessary, and fewer people go to grab them.
Hao Jian cut the mouth and bottom of the beverage bottle to use it as a knee pad to protect his forearm. The defense of the beverage bottle is better than that of the cardboard box. Although it warms up a little after being wrapped, it is better than dying.
She also found a pair of work gloves. She and Lian Runing each wore one. As for Xin Ting, she was currently a person with low combat effectiveness, and was not within her consideration for dividing combat supplies.
Some cloth bags can be found in convenience stores. Although they have been trampled many times and stained with beverages, they can still hold a lot of things.
Lian Runing saw Hao Jian put the condoms on the counter, her face flushed slightly, she asked in a low voice, "Why do you even want this?"
She couldn't figure out how condoms would help them along the way.
"A condom has many uses besides sex, and it's very convenient to carry, doesn't take up a lot of space and doesn't add weight..." Hao Jian turned to look at her, and said narrowly, "Aren't you wondering who will use it with me? "
Lian Runing was sure she didn't listen, Hao Jian was teasing her! Her face flushed, but fortunately, Hao Jian didn't see it in the dim environment.
"Who thought about this!" She said angrily and turned away.
Hao Jian didn't make any more noise after cleaning up, because she noticed that there were zombies wandering outside.
However, a scream came out of nowhere, and attracted the attention of these zombies.
In cities and counties with a large population, you will never worry about having no place to make noise. It is just the noise of babies crying in the middle of the night, the noise of children who are not mentally sound, or the noise of people who don't know they are infected with the zombie virus. a whole night.
Hao Jian came to a conclusion based on observations over the past few days: although the way zombies find living things is unknown, their attention is more likely to be attracted by living things that make noise than quiet living things.
Although she can't guarantee that this conclusion is very accurate, it can help her better judge the environment.

At about nine o'clock, Lian Runing couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep. She slept until after one o'clock in the morning and woke up from a nightmare. In a panic, she called out softly to seek the trace of Hao Jian.
"Have a nightmare?" Hao Jian touched it.
Lian Runing felt a little relieved, she nodded, remembered that Hao Jian couldn't see, and asked, "What time is it?"
Hao Jian glanced at the smart watch and told her the time.
"You should be very tired. It's your turn to take a rest. I'll get up and watch the night."
At this time, Xin Ting also woke up, and she said, "I'll keep watch with you!"
In fact, Xin Ting didn't fall asleep at all when it was dark. She heard Hao Jian and Lian Runing talking and could see their movements, but she didn't speak because she felt that she was a superfluous person.
Later, she was too tired and fell asleep. She was awakened by Lian Runing who was sleeping next to her just now. When she heard Lian Runing's proposal, she tried her best to prove that she was not an unnecessary person.
"It's okay if you have enough rest." Hao Jian went to sleep after saying that.
Lian Runing glanced at her and asked Xin Ting in a low voice, "Does your arm still hurt?"
"It's not as painful as it was at the beginning, and it's okay to take things."
"You don't have to force it. It takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones. Don't hold heavy objects in your hands."
Xin Ting was silent for a moment, then said sincerely, "Thank you! I am so lucky that I met you first, not Li Chang and the others."
Lian Runing didn't say anything, and Xin Ting didn't want to attract zombies, so she stayed quietly.

In the hot summer, even the air is sticky. In a small convenience store, there are no other vents except for the cracks in the door to allow air to circulate.
The sweat of Lian Ru Ning and the others had already wet their clothes, and as long as they were dry, they would give off a smell of sweat.
Xin Ting didn't dare to go out even if she wanted to solve it, so she could only solve it in the corner.
After they held on for four hours, the sky gradually faded from black to blue, and then silently faded to blue.
Hao Jian woke up when she heard the alarm clock on her watch, and saw Lian Runing and Xin Ting who were drowsy, she first equipped herself, and then checked the situation outside through the window.
There are two or three zombies wandering outside, the closest one is at the outer gas pipe, but as soon as they go out, they will definitely be found by them.
Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting also got up to loosen their muscles and bones, and then equipped them from head to toe. Hao Jian said: "We are going out, the zombies outside have to face them no matter what, so..."
"You don't need to say it, I understand it, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!" Lian Runing clenched the axe in her hand.
"Xin Ting, please observe the environment." Hao Jian looked at Xin Ting, who was carrying a backpack, holding a fruit knife and a wrench.
Xin Ting's heart was hot. She didn't expect that she could still be trusted, so she nodded vigorously, and looked at the surrounding situation with all her eyes.
Before Hao Jian moved the shelf and opened the door, he took a deep breath and spit it out again: "Remember, if you can't beat it, run away. Zombies are not necessarily faster than humans. If you really can't run away, go higher. go anywhere."
According to the existing zombie information, zombies are not as powerful as in the game, let alone flying, and even bouncing is a bit difficult. But they can't take it lightly, what if the zombies evolve

Although Hao Jian and the others made a low voice when they moved the containers, there were zombies surrounding them, so after Hao Jian opened the door, the nearest zombies were only two meters away.
Hao Jian was accustomed to such a thrilling and exciting scene, and quickly knocked the zombie's brain through with the gesture of hitting a home run. Xin Ting was so frightened that she wanted to subconsciously scream again, but she bit her lip tightly so that she could not say a word.
"Quick!" Lian Runing reminded Xin Ting, and she saw the zombies running from a distance.
"One at ten o'clock is a dozen meters away, one at one o'clock and one at two o'clock, twenty meters and ten meters away respectively." Xin Ting finished quickly, and Hao Jian and Lian Runing also directly faced the zombies at ten o'clock. run.
Instead of dealing with the single zombie separately, Hao Jian chose to join forces with Lian Runing to deal with the nearest zombie first.
Their tacit understanding is getting better and better, Hao Jian downed the zombie with one stick, and Lian Ru Ning quickly stepped forward to make up the knife, and solved a danger in just a few seconds.
Xin Ting also gave the distance and location of the zombies at the back. Hao Jian and the others could run towards the zombies at ten o'clock without taking time to observe.
