End of Century
Chapter 6
Gongsun Jing reciprocates and tells Hou Ying about her teammates.
The oldest and most stable looking Jiang Tao is unexpectedly a fire power. Qiao Daye on the roof of the car is a five sense power with both hearing and vision and a speed power. In Hou Ying''s opinion, Li Xuanyuan, who is very bad tempered, reverses Hou Ying''s conjecture and turns out to be a wood power. Gongsun Jing herself was a military doctor in the army before, and her ability was also a water system ability with healing ability.
After that, Gongsun Jingcai said, "Liu Zhan, he should be awakening his powers. I hope he doesn''t make any trouble."
Liu Zhan is a special forces soldier in a coma. Hou Ying had an observation after she got on the bus. This man had a high fever and his whole face was red.
Looking at Gongsun Jing''s expression, Hou Ying vaguely realized that this group of people must have suffered a lot before, at least Their original team must have been more than five.
Without waiting for them to say anything more, there was a shot outside.
Then Gongsun Jing said to them, "we''re almost there. Xiaohai, you''re looking at this uncle with your help in the car. Don''t worry. We''ve tied him up. He won''t attack you even if he wakes up. Remember not to make a noise, and not to make trouble, you know? "
Hou Ying also heard from Bluetooth that they were approaching the service area. At this time, the car tilted down and should be on the down ramp.
Similarly, Hou Ying also realized that in the process of their conversation, the other side disclosed very limited information about themselves, but now is not the time to speak. After a while, the speed of the car slowed down after it stabilized, and from time to time there were several gunshots.
Hou Ying said, "are there so many zombies here?"
Hearing this, Meng hanghai held Hou Ying''s arm in fear. Gongsun Jing laughed: "you didn''t know anything about zombies before, and it''s normal that you can''t find them."
When the car stopped, they didn''t get off either. They went into the service area by Jiang Tao and Li Xuanyuan to clean up the zombies.
Hou Ying noticed that Qiao Daye on the roof of the car didn''t move, so she should be on guard for them. After about 15 shots, Jiang Tao and Li Xuanyuan returned. When Gong sunjing received the news from Bluetooth, she was surprised that they moved so fast.
When he got out of the car, Jiang Tao said with a smile: "as Hou Ying said, these zombies have little attack power. They are ordinary zombies without powers."
Gongsun Jing was relieved.
Hou Ying heard it and breathed a sigh of relief. She did not expect that she could muddle through.
Qiao Daye is responsible for guarding, and also puts down the materials belonging to Hou Ying, as well as the weapons and equipment on the vehicle, and moves them to the front cab. Meng hanghai stays on the vehicle, and Hou Ying, Gong sunjing, Jiang Tao and Li Xuanyuan carry the materials together.
The four of them didn''t act separately. According to the vague impression of that night, Hou Ying took them to the convenience store to find two carts for unloading and transportation.
They first copied the warehouse of the convenience store. Fortunately, the inventory here is also abundant. Hou Ying, who knows a little about the survival of the remaining gasoline in the gas station, made a brief calculation. In this way, if they still need to load gasoline, the space on their armored off-road vehicles is not large. So he and the other three people told him to move the whole box of things first, and then to see if there is any space left after moving the gasoline in bulk.
Several people chose food with high calorie and long-term storage, as well as drinking water to be delivered to the car first.
Then there are the daily necessities such as paper towels that will be used. Naturally, Gongsun Jing can''t help but thank God for her female products.
Meng hanghai was probably afraid that these adults would not want him, and he also worked hard to help with the transportation and delivery work as much as he could.
When the car was full of food and water for a third of the space, they began to carry gasoline. The gasoline in the gas station''s stock should have been replenished. In addition to the five boxes Hou Ying moved, there are 15 full boxes, which is enough to travel tens of thousands of kilometers. However, the armored vehicles are heavy on oil. In case, they also want to pump out the oil from the fuel feeder.
Hou Ying hesitated and stopped: "leave some for the survivors behind."
At this time, gasoline is also a life-saving thing. If someone comes here after a lot of hard work and finds that all the food here is out of date, he can still swallow it when he is hungry, but he can''t find any gasoline. I''m afraid he will really collapse. What''s more, he knows that this section of the road is an old national highway, and the service areas are far away from each other, almost three hours'' drive away. In this situation of doomsday crisis, this distance is full of countless fatal accidents.
Hou Ying is a calculating person, but because she has forced herself to be mature and take care of her younger nephew from a very young age, she is not as selfish as an ordinary adult and subconsciously considers others.
He was a little nervous about this proposal. After all, they even remember to take away the gasoline from the scrapped business car, but they didn''t expect that several people gave up after being reminded, so they all looked up at Hou Ying by two points.
After the gasoline was loaded, they returned to the convenience supermarket and filled up the whole box of food and water in the remaining one-fifth of the compartment space. When they could not put it down, they took apart the whole box of instant noodles and biscuits and drinking water and replenished them in bulk.The whole carriage was full, leaving only one person''s wide passage on the left and right sides, which was convenient for Liu Zhan to lie down and recuperate, and also allowed a few people to walk around.
At the end of February, it''s still hanging on the tail of winter. The night comes quickly. Whether it''s Hou Ying who is eager to return to Yecheng or some people who don''t know the destination, they tacitly choose to stay here for the night.
After a hot dinner, Hou Ying found the most solid car in the parking lot of the service area. She filled the car with her own gasoline and food as much as possible. She was very greedy.
He has planned to return to Yecheng at daybreak tomorrow, because Hou Ying found that what she thought was too naive from their scattered information.
According to Jiang Tao''s personal experience, there are nearly six million people in Hucheng. Apart from the earthquake refugees who were picked up by the army in the first place, only five of them escaped from Hucheng after the end of the world.
They did not specify whether the remaining millions of people died in the earthquake or became zombies, but he has understood that human resistance has no effect on the zombie virus, and that modern cities with large population are more dangerous.
Yecheng is on the edge of Kangcheng, the third most populous city in China. You can imagine how urgent the situation there is. He wants to fly back now, and doesn''t want to stay here for a moment, but it''s unrealistic. He can only find something to distract his attention.
When he was busy sweating, Jiang Tao and Li Xuanyuan drove a van to the construction site not far away.
Hearing the gunshot, Hou Ying knew that there were still zombies over there. Thinking of their "saving consciousness" of tearing down their business car, she didn''t know what to admire or say. However, after they brought back the high-power industrial generator to the construction site, Hou Ying was only impressed.
In the end, he is not as good as these special forces, and his concept of materials still stays on the food and transportation needed for survival, which is not so comprehensive and far sighted.
Jianghai service area is a small service station. Fortunately, the flow of people here is less than that of the new national highway. There are public sector roads blocked in front, so the number of zombies did not exceed 100.
There is no hotel, only a convenient supermarket, toilet, and gas station. The packaged food to satisfy hunger and thirst in the convenience store is quite complete, but things like clothes and oil and salt condiments that would not be patronized by the passing car owners would not be prepared.
Gongsun Jing cleaned the kitchens used by convenience stores and gas station employees, especially the salt - they had a lot of exercise and had to make sure that the salt was replenished.
It''s a pity that the amount of seasoning stored in families and individuals will not be too large, and the salt collected will only be enough for a few people for about two months. Only five 25kg bags of rice were found, two of which had been used up to the last. The whole package contained three barrels of 5-liter edible oil.
Hou Ying was preoccupied with the safety of Wang he he and Ji Yao. After seeing what Gongsun Jing had collected, she was also worried about this. She was at a loss about how to live in the future.
But at the moment, he has no ability or energy to collect firewood, rice, oil and salt. He knows that he has them, and he knows his priorities.
Just in the anxiety of survival difficulties, he went to the convenience store to get more vacuum food and mineral water in bulk. The car was completely packed with no spare space before he stopped hamster activities. The co pilot''s seat was empty at first, and only put a bag of food to eat tomorrow on it, so as not to be trapped in a cocoon and blocked by materials in case of emergency.
He parked the car next to the armored off-road vehicle. Because of Liu Zhan, they would stay in the car to have a rest, and there would be someone responsible for the vigil. It would be much safer next to them.
Jiang Tao and Qiao Daye are still eating in the convenience store with the light on. They say that they have picked out the rice dumplings that are not bad yet. They are very comfortable with Gongsun Jing''s skill that she can only cook the food. Hou Ying can''t say anything good after panshenkechen''s dinner. She thinks that the rice dumplings that she can eat later are especially precious.
Gongsun Jing is also using the induction cooker to help them cook rice dumplings. By the way, she is surrounded by a hot pot to warm up.
And Li Xuanyuan is in the driver''s seat, Hou Ying and he said hello, the result got a cold eye, also simply do not go to look at the face.
Most of the time, he knew that it was because he was confused by his "beauty" at the time of his face-to-face interview, and he was offended by his two more eyes, which made the other party unhappy. He didn''t intend to apologize, and he didn''t get close to them, because they probably won''t get along with each other for a long time, so Hou Ying, who always valued interpersonal relationship, didn''t force her.
Meng hanghai has been following him like a little tail. After he refused to help, he still followed suit. Now that he is busy and has plans to sleep in the car for one night, he stops him and asks in a low voice: "Uncle Hou, I want to go with you."
Hou Ying was stunned and surprised at his idea.
Turning back to him, he patiently explained: "Xiaohai, you can see that they have guns in their hands, and they have powerful powers to protect you. I can''t fight four hands with two fists. Ye Cheng doesn''t know what the situation is. His own life may not be able to survive. I really can''t take you to take risks with me. If I save you, I have to be responsible for your life. Handing you over to someone who can better protect you is the only thing I can do for you at present. Besides, they are all soldiers, and they will not leave you behind. "Meng hanghai clung to his sleeve, understood his meaning, but was unwilling to comply.
Hou Ying again advised two, see this child was provoked anxious straight tears, still dare not make a sound, in the heart is very sorry.
He and his nephew have been living together for so many years. When there was an accident at home, he was only about the same age as Meng hanghai. He didn''t graduate from primary school. Wang he was really a runny child in the kindergarten.
Once, he was sent to participate in the competition by the school. After spending a night out, he came back to find that Wang he''s whole face was pale, hungry and stomach ache. It turned out that he did not dare to go to the neighbor''s house to borrow food to eat, and the neighbor he told didn''t manage Xiaohe''s life or death.
Since then, he has not only developed good cooking skills, but also understood the great responsibility of taking care of a child''s life.
Looking at Meng hanghai and Xiao He at that time, she was too strong to cry out. Hou Ying was really cruel. After thinking about it, he took the child and chatted with Jiang Tao: "where are you going next?"
Jiang Tao looked at Meng hanghai and said, "we plan to stay here for two days and make a plan. To be honest, we have only one general route at present. The first step is to go to the base of our 24th division. If the situation is bad there, we can go to the imperial capital. There are helicopters in the base that can go empty. Anyway, it''s also the capital. There must be a relatively perfect emergency mechanism and management. "
They are soldiers. Even if the mission fails, they will lose contact with the outside world and want to return to their lives. Moreover, Jiang Tao hoped that his comrades in arms would survive the disaster. If they don''t go back to see the situation, they won''t give up, let alone become deserters.
Hou Ying tentatively asked the address of the 24th division, the secret information before the end of the world, but now there is nothing to hide.
Jiang Tao told him happily that Hou Ying was glad to hear that. He said, "if it''s there, it''s a shortcut from Yecheng, and it can bypass several densely populated towns."
Ye Cheng''s route was also one of Jiang Tao''s choices. He heard that they didn''t respond immediately. He just said that they needed to compare other routes to make sure.
Meng hanghai understood Hou Ying''s plan. If they went to Yecheng together, they would not have to separate from Hou Ying''s uncle, so he said anxiously, "why wait for tomorrow? Are you sure now? So we can wake up tomorrow and go together. "
Hou Ying''s tone was anxious and the way she asked was not polite enough, but she didn''t stop him.
He is really anxious. If these people have to take time to make sure tomorrow, he must go ahead.
Jiang Tao measures it and knocks Bluetooth. Li Xuanyuan''s unpleasant "tut" comes from there. Then Qiao Daye gets up and alternates Li Xuanyuan''s guard work. Hou Ying knew that he had upset their original night watch plan.
Li Xuanyuan sat down, but he didn''t eat the steaming zongzi. He just took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his military coat, on which he drew an imperfect route.
