After the sun goes down, everything is silent. The street lights on the highway have long lost their power supply, the sky is so blue that it is almost black, the sky and the earth seem to be dark and it is impossible to distinguish everything, only the service area has weak lights.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing woke up within five minutes of each other, raised their watch and saw that it was nearly ten o'clock. However, there were still ten minutes before they changed the guard, and Hao Jianbian was not in a hurry at all.
Lian Runing felt that she was sweating hot and sticky and uncomfortable, but the conditions here did not allow her, so she just wanted to get some water and wipe her body.
Just as he was about to get up, Hao Jian held her down: "There are some things that are inconvenient to do later, so I will do it now."
"?"
As soon as Lian Runing reacted, Hao Jian pursed her lips and gave her another lingering kiss.
Thought it was just a kiss, but it was actually three rounds of kisses. Hao Jian found that the system calculates experience and points based on the number of times the lips touched, so it seemed to Lian Ru Ning that it was just a lingering kiss. In fact, Hao Jian Already gained 3 experience points and 15 points.
"Make up an integer." Hao Jian said. In addition to the kiss during the day, I already got 10 experience and 50 points.
Lian Runing was a little puzzled, then remembered the kiss in the daytime, and was even more confused about Hao Jian's way of calculating integers.
"You weren't like this before!" Lian Runing did not resist such an intimate gesture, but still shyly said.
"It used to be before, and now I have decided that since I am with you, even in the last days, no matter how difficult it is, I will bear all the sorrows with you, and I will share all the joys with you."
Lian Runing felt that this was the most beautiful love story she had ever heard.
In such a harsh environment, how many people trample on the dignity and life of others in order to survive, and their feelings become unimportant to them. How lucky she was to meet Hao Jian.
Today, she couldn't hold back and started talking like that. In fact, it was because of Hao Jian's connivance to her, right
The environment did not allow them to linger any longer. Hao Jian went to Peng Mao and Xin Ting first. Because the guards were a little boring, they occasionally sat together and chatted. After this chat, they got closer.
"Go and rest, just leave it to us." Hao Jian said, looking at the two who couldn't help yawning.
"Then let's go to bed for a while, remember to eat, if you feel cold, warm it up a little bit!" Xin Ting urged.
Hao Jian waited for Lian Ru Ning to come back and went to eat some cold hodgepodge. Of course, she couldn't get enough of this, so she took out two more meat buns.
It is not accurate to say that it is Roujiamo, because there is no meat in it, only vegetable fillings.
Of course, this was also bought in the system mall. After all, it was only 15 points a piece, so I didn't expect much meat under the price of the mall where meat is more expensive than gold.
Lian Runing didn't wonder where she got the roujiamo. After all, some of the supplies that Shi Gongzhui found today were used to make hand cakes, noodle cakes and other materials. There are many instant foods in the service area of the expressway. The ingredients are all quick-cooked. As long as it has not gone bad, it only takes a few minutes to make a fresh one.
After they were full, they sat for a while. Of course, they are not sitting idle, but when everything is silent, they want to use their ears to hear the movements around them.
In addition to the sound of the wind and the whistling between the branches and leaves of the trees, there were vaguely familiar voices around, Hao Jian sighed, and sure enough, he couldn't stay at ease all night.
The reason why they let Peng Mao and Xin Ting stay in the middle of the night is because they have just cleaned up the zombies, and zombies from other places will not come here in a short time. And she, Lian Runing and Shi Gongzhui have better coping ability, so she stayed in the middle of the night.
It was originally scheduled that Shi Gongzhui would wake up at twelve o'clock, change to practice Ru Ning, go back to sleep for two hours, and then take Hao Jian's rotation. Now it seems that they have to call Shi Gongzhui up.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing had wrapped their arms and necks with magazines before Shi Gongzhui was dressed and driven out. Hao Jian also bought two searchlights tied to their heads from the mall. The vision at night is not as good as during the day, so you must be fully prepared.
Because it was impossible to determine how many zombies there were, Peng Mao and Xin Ting were also woken up, and at the same time they packed up and got into the car, ready to leave at any time.
Half an hour later, two zombies swayed around the gas station. After discovering Hao Jian and the others, they were very excited. This kind of excitement is the same as the zombies encountered before, and it will make strange noises, so it does not seem to be "abnormal".
This telescope has no night vision ability in the dark, so Hao Jian can't count on it. After eliminating the two zombies, she decided to use the searchlight to scout deeper.
No matter how sleepy Peng Mao and Xin Ting were, they didn't dare to go back to sleep until Hao Jian took a look around and said, "There is nothing unusual around now. If there are zombies, there should be a lot of noise, you guys. Go to sleep first!"
____
It wasn't until four o'clock that zombies appeared around again.
Hao Jian and the others, who had been there all night, were not in the mood to go back to sleep for another two hours, so they woke up Peng Mao and Xin Ting and prepared to leave.
Although the sky was still blue at four o'clock, it was bright when they arrived in Xiaochuan County.
The more it was in the early morning, the less vigilant people were. At that time, when they arrived in Xiaochuan County, Hao Jian and the others didn't have to worry about being surrounded by "blameless" people.
Although it was not clear whether there was any "no blame" movement in Chengxiang City, they did not dare to take it lightly.
From the service area all the way to the boundary of Xiaochuan County, after confirming that Xiaochuan County did not block the road and loot like Xinghua City, they continued to drive more than 20 kilometers while the road was clear, until the junction of the expressway and a national highway. stop.
From the topographical point of view, Xiaochuan County is a valley county, and its plains basically appear along a river. Of course, its flat land is not large, so it belongs to a relatively backward county.
The expressway will pass through Xiaochuan County, and then enter the relatively open plain area of Cheng Township after more than 20 kilometers. The national highway will pass through Hexian County, a neighboring county of Xiaochuan County. Although it also leads to Chengxiang, it will be closer to Xiangshi.
However, the big problem in front of them is that although Xiaochuan County has a smaller population than He County, to get there, it is bound to pass through the main urban area of the township. If you go from Hexian County, the terrain of Hexian County is relatively open, and the population and building density are several times higher than that of Xiaochuan County.
Hao Jian chose to go to Xiaochuan County without hesitation for too long.
Although the national road in Hexian County was closer to Xiangshi, Hao Jian's main purpose was to bring Lian Runing back to Nanfang City. The situation in the southern city is severe, of course, it is better to approach the destination slowly in the mountainous and forested areas in the northeast.
Everyone has no objection. After all, judging from the current situation, Xiaochuan County is clearly safer. And when they arrived in Cheng Township, they could also take the roads in the marginal areas. As for the threat of death, they were already prepared to deal with it.
____
We crossed the main plain area of Xiaochuan County without any risk, and soon followed the mountain to another town. Just this section of the road, they can clearly see the backwardness here.
Peng Mao said with emotion: "I thought our place was already considered a remote rural area, but I didn't expect it to be even more remote. It is not an exaggeration to describe the town with a mountain of mountains. And there are more than ten kilometers in the middle that are sparsely populated. In this place, transportation was inconvenient in the past, I am afraid that we can only rely on this river to communicate and communicate!"
"You should be proud, it shows that our country is big." Shi Gongzhui said.
"Why didn't I find out that you believed so much in our country? Before you, the contractor, eavesdropped on state secrets."
"Don't mention it again, if the cult organization hears it, it will kill me!" Shi Gongzhui yelled at him again.
Right here, Lian Runing in front said through the walkie-talkie: "The front is one of the entrances and exits of the expressway. The situation is not clear, so be prepared to turn back."
Shi Gongzhui hurriedly took the walkie-talkie and said, "Turn back? Run back to Xiaochuan County?"
Lian Ruling didn't answer, but he soon saw that there were indeed more vehicles parked in front of him than in the previous section. When debating whether to work together to clear a path or to turn back, Hao Jian said, "I'll scout ahead and let you know if there is any situation."
After a while, Hao Jian sent back a message: "There is someone on the road ahead."
"Are you sure it's human?"
"Ok, they appear to be clearing congested vehicles on the highway."
Peng Mao was overjoyed: "Then we can go and join them!"
After all, after walking for so long, apart from the escort team, he doesn't seem to have encountered a team of the same nature!
Hao Jian didn't object. After Shi Gongzhui drove the car to meet her, he confirmed through the binoculars that there were indeed people in front of him, and they were not only single-digit people. He was afraid that it could be filled with a minibus.
Looking at it this way, he was not as happy as before. Instead, he had some doubts like Hao Jian: "There are so many people, and there are sharp weapons on them. I'm afraid it's not as simple as ordinary people who organize and clear roadblocks."
Shi Gongzhui believes that if they are in the "lawful good", "lawful neutral" or "neutral good" camp, they don't have to worry too much, but in case it is a cult or a team with a "chaotic evil" nature , they used to be only sheep into the tiger's mouth.
What Lian Runing, Peng Mao, and Xin Ting can understand is that the three camps mentioned above, no matter what their purpose, will not harm others at will. like a guard.
And "lawful evil" refers to "no blame" such an organization has their order, but regardless of whether it will hurt other people's forces.
Of course, the vast majority of the evil forces that exist in this world belong to the "chaotic evil" who have no legal awareness and are extremely indifferent to life and death, human rights, etc.
After listening to such a novel setting, Peng Mao asked, "Then what camp should we belong to?"
"..." People other than him don't really care what faction they belong to. But Shi Gongzhui said, "I don't know you, but I should be neutral and kind."
Hao Jian chuckled: "I think you are chaotic and kind. If you were really neutral and kind, you wouldn't eavesdrop on military secrets."
"..." It's up to you one or two to finish!
Shi Gongzhui felt that eavesdropping on military secrets would become a "crime" that would accompany him throughout his life.
But in the end it's just a gag to ease the atmosphere.
It was precisely because he couldn't determine what kind of team the opponent was, so Hao Jian didn't dare to go there rashly.
Peng Mao took the binoculars and glanced curiously, tsk tsk admiration: "There are quite a few women in that team, I think it should be—"
He was stunned suddenly, and his words stopped a little stiffly, so everyone noticed his strangeness.
"What's wrong?" Xin Ting asked.
Peng Mao put down the telescope, his eyes flickered, and then he looked up at Hao Jian: "I want to go there."
Hao Jian raised his eyebrows: "Is there someone you know... your brother?"
