The way home

"Hey—look, it's time for dinner at the base." Jiang Sen stood at the window, looking outside and said.

After hearing this, everyone went to the window to take a look, only to see a long line of people downstairs, waiting to receive food. Qu Xiao's eyesight is very good, and it seems that everyone is only taking one steamed bun and another bowl. soup.This kind of ration can only maintain the basic needs, and it is impossible to eat enough, and just look at the blank expressions of the people. If things go on like this, they may be like walking dead.

"Hey——" Qiu Yi sighed, turned his head away from looking at the scene below, and suddenly thought about whether his son would be able to eat enough, maybe the child would lose weight when he saw it.

"Tomorrow we will split up, get tires, collect information, and then go to City B as soon as possible." Mo Fei obviously knows Qiu Yi best.

"If it's done, we'll leave tomorrow night. It's not far from City B, maybe we can arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow." Jiang Sen also said.

"It's ready to eat." Jian Bai shouted from the outside.

When they heard that there was going to be a meal, everyone let go of their original boredom. Maybe they were also indifferent. When they saw those people, they just sighed in their hearts, but they didn't have the heart of a savior. Maybe they were just people struggling on the edge of life and death. The only difference Yes, they still have hope.

After dinner, Qiu Yi and Mo Fei took Wang Yi and Jiang Sen out to inquire about news, and Jian Bai prepared some food. He has been living so simply, even when the end is coming.

Qu Xiao entered the space and saw that the vegetables he planted had already grown. The cabbage and lettuce grew too fast, and they were densely spread all over the place. Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and rapeseed were all lush. It was overwhelmed by the fruit, and the cucumber vines also climbed up the ground. Fortunately, the plants grew lushly in the space, and the plants did not rot because they grew close to the ground.

Qu Xiao couldn't help but patted his forehead. He forgot that the land in the space is second only to the soil because of its rich aura. Those vegetables naturally grow fast. In the past, he only planted medicinal materials, which needed to grow for many years. It won't make him feel how fast it is, but it's troublesome now.

I got some thin bamboo and cut it into small pieces, and set up the seedlings such as tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, etc., and then picked the vegetables that had already grown. The vegetables in one basket after another were verdant and verdant, and the green onions grew very slowly, but now There is also a small piece of shallot, which is thin and straight.Pull out all the shallots, drain a small part, plant them in the furrows, and wait for them to grow thicker. The rest of the shallots are kept and eaten raw. I remember that there are several kinds of soybean paste in the storage room, together with lettuce and cabbage All can be eaten with dipping sauce.I used to be at home, as long as there were grandparents here, it was essential to eat. Dad was not at home often, and the two grandpas opened a small piece of land in the east garden, not even a single piece of land. In autumn and winter, Scatter the dense seeds, and before the snow falls, only fine shallots like beards will grow. After a winter, when the next spring arrives, they will grow into shallots as thin as chopsticks. Sweet and a little spicy, very refreshing.Qu Xiao didn't eat much before, but now he wants to recall the taste.I just don't know if the shallots that have not been baptized by winter snow have that taste.

He also found some mustard seeds and planted plum seeds, put some greens in a small basket and left the space. Now he doesn’t want to enter the space anymore. There are too many memories in the space, which can always arouse his thoughts, Qu Xiao He found that he seemed to have changed a lot. In the past, his life seemed to be research except for his family, but now there are too many distracting thoughts in his head, and he can no longer restore the simple life before.

"Oh my god, where did this come from, oh--" Seeing the basket of vegetables, Jian Bai felt as if he had gotten some treasure, put them on the table in his hand, picked up a lettuce leaf and put it directly on the basket. With an intoxicated expression in his mouth.

"As for that? We are not short of food." Qu Xiao laughed seeing his devouring appearance.

"Of course, I can't tell what's going on. Although I have eaten well these days, I really miss vegetables. Maybe it's a psychological effect. I feel that I won't be able to eat them in the future, so I really miss them." It was Wang Weiwei who spoke. He just took a shower, and when he came out, he just ate a piece of cabbage like Jian Bai.

"That's right." Jian Bai nodded while holding the lettuce leaf.

"Okay, put it away, you can eat vegetables anytime from now on." Qu Xiao hugged Dongdong, let him sit on the dining table, and took out a plate of strawberries.

"By the way, this is for you." He took out a small ceramic pot, the size of a palm, with a small lid, and bluegrass was painted on the round belly, which looked very delicate.

Wang Weiwei opened the lid, and a fresh fragrance filled the nostrils. Inside was a white transparent paste, which felt a bit Q. "What's this? The sunscreen you were talking about?"

"It's not sunscreen, it's a beauty cream. However, if you use it for a long time, your skin's ability to resist the sun will be enhanced. I think you're very sunburned. Don't use it directly. Pick out a small piece the size of your little finger and dissolve it with warm water. Just lightly pat it on the body, don’t use too much, or you will feel a tingling sensation, use it continuously for a week, it will be effective, and then use it every three to five days.” Their family members are not afraid of the sun, so I have never used sunscreen before, but this beauty cream was made by my father when he was refining medicine.The effect is just average.In fact, he also has a kind of beauty pill, which has better effect, and one can keep the appearance of youth for 30 years.

"Really?" Seeing Qu Xiao nodding, Wang Weiwei smiled, took the plaster and went to the bathroom to apply it, women don't like beauty, Gao Ming Qian Rongrong was surrounded by fox zombies that day, there is no possibility of surviving , she was taking revenge, and she didn't have any entanglements. She gradually revealed her true nature, and she also looked forward to it in her midnight dream. Maybe An Bin didn't die, because no one really saw An Bin die, and she only thought that he was still alive, just like her. live under the same sky.

When Mo Fei and Jiang Sen came back, they heard giggling in the room. It was the first time they heard such a happy laughter from a child.

"What are you doing?" The two entered the room and saw that Dongdong was naked, and Weiwei and Jian Bai wiped something on him, making the little guy laugh non-stop.

"Hehe, this is to whiten our little guy." Qu Xiao replied when Mo Fei spoke.

When Dongdong saw Mo Fei and Jiang Sen, he seemed a little shy. He twisted his body and got into the big towel. As a result, the big towel only covered his head, and his buttocks were still exposed.Mo Fei smiled and patted his little butt, "I don't care about my head."

"Ah——" the little guy yelled, rushed out quickly, and bumped into Qu Xiao's arms.

"Bad guy." He looked at a few people with a blushing face, and turned his head away from them with a small mouth.

Everyone was having fun with his little show, and the kid really was an angel.

Find a child's underwear from the space and let Dongdong put it on. The weather is hot, and the child will be fine if he wears a shorts and a vest.

Qiu Yi and Mo Fei entered the house one after another, and Wang Yi threw the clothes he was holding onto the mat, "Damn it, what a broken base."

When everyone heard his complaints, they stopped talking, "Just now I went to their trading center to have a look. Our temporary fleet has to pay 30.00% transaction tax after the transaction, and the price of the goods is half higher than that of the permanent residents of the base. If we want to buy a car wheel, we need to use [-] catties of rice. What is the price of rice now? One hundred catties of rice can sell a house. It’s too dark to exchange five houses for one car wheel.”

Everyone felt that it was quite expensive. In the past, a hummer reel could buy two to three thousand catties of rice, but now rice is a best-selling item, but the reel is not necessary.The two are incomparable.

"We are a temporary team. They didn't issue a license plate. The price is half higher than that of the locals at the base. It's really inappropriate to buy like this." Qiu Yi sat down and said.

"If you don't mind it, everyone will go straight to the road tomorrow, and we will meet each other on the way." Wang Weiwei said.

"Just now we went to the base service area. There is some news that the whole world is now in a zombie disaster. Although there is no specific number of victims, some organizations estimate that there may be only one-tenth of human beings left."

Everyone in the room gasped, which means that there are only more than 7 million people left in the world.Also compared with it are zombies that are several times larger than humans. The comparison of this number is really shocking.

Could it be that he glanced at Qu Xiao, Qu Xiao had predicted them when the virus first broke out, but he didn't expect the situation to develop like that.

"And we have inquired about 22 large bases with more than 10 people in the country. There may be more other small bases, which cannot be counted yet. There are still more people living outside. The surviving population in the whole country may be less than one. Hundreds of millions. The situation in City B has not been heard much. We only know that it is under military control, and the main force is the Imperial Capital Military Region. There are almost [-] defenders. It may be the place where the most troops survived in the country. Now, power and water have been cut off in most areas, so we can’t know the situation in City B, and we don’t know whether yesterday’s animal zombies have affected City B.”

Could it be that the news he got was fragmented, but he finally knew the damage caused by the disaster all over the world.

"Maybe it's not that bad. This is just a prediction. Maybe there will be more survivors." Qiu Yi saw that everyone was in a low mood, so he couldn't help comforting him. He was a happy team, at least his son Still alive, but the others have nothing to worry about.

"Well, Brother Qiu is right. Aren't we doing well now? I think we went to City B to pick up Brother Qiu's fat man. Let's find a safe place and build our own base." Wang Yi leaned on the door frame and said .

"I think it's okay. Although the base in City B looks safe, they are basically built on piles of zombies. I think it's quite dangerous." Jiang Sen agreed after hearing this, "Actually, I think it seems that we are wandering around like this now. The grounds are pretty good too.”

Others also talked about their future dreams one by one, maybe everyone is used to it, and they are not too cold about joining a certain base.

"I think it's better to let go of the establishment of a base first. There are many things to consider in order to establish a base. With our current strength, we still can't support it. Although there are a lot of supplies now, given the current situation Look, in the next one to two years or even three to five years, human beings will not be able to restore productivity. It is less than a month since the outbreak of the virus, and the bases have begun to restrict the distribution of food and send a large number of hunting teams in order to get more supplies. So in the next few months or a year, searching for materials will be the most important thing, and if City B's policy is suitable, we can also organize a hunting team, and we must know that our advantages are not available to others." Does it look at a few people They all talked about where they went to set up a base, and quickly interrupted their words. He noticed that Qu Xiao didn't say anything, and suddenly remembered that Qu Xiao had said to go to City B together, but he didn't say the reason. Although he had heard him talk about his family, But he never saw him make a phone call, nor did he say where his family was.Thinking about it now, he really didn't know the purpose of Qu Xiao's going to City B.
