The way home

"How is it?" Mo Fei asked Qiu Yi as he handed him a bottle of water.

Qiu Yi drank water without saying a word, then stood up and took off his clothes, the weather was too hot. "Lease to Wu Qiang and his team. The formalities have been completed."

"Is this appropriate? The time of our return is uncertain. This is a bit difficult to grasp."

"In this way, I communicated with Wu Qiang. Their team also has a station, not far from us. It's just that the rain caused a lot of damage to their warehouse. The terrain there is a bit low. After I discussed with them, they want to build a new car in our warehouse. Build a house on the open land next to the exit in the south, and there is a two-acre area for them, and the land is leased."

Qiu Yi said and took out the map. Their place can’t be regarded as a small island, but should be regarded as land. It is next to Crescent Lake. Last time, the heavy rain washed away the land on the east side, and the lake expanded, leaving only the link on the east side, which belongs to the peninsula situation. The weather is too hot, the water level has dropped a lot, and the ground is also exposed to the east, but there is no way to use it in the quagmire of troubled times.The open space that Qiu Yi mentioned was actually a lake pavilion, a small park of about two acres, where college students study early. The terrain is lower than theirs, but higher than other places.

Could it be that after looking at it, it is not too close to their place, but at the entrance, "How do they say it?"

"They are going to build a house as a warehouse and headquarters, and they are going to rent it for a long time."

"Are you afraid they will do something else?"

"Are you afraid of them?" Qiu Yi glanced at Mo Fei with bright eyes.

Mo Fei pouted and smiled, "I'm afraid of trouble." What's so scary about them, their strength is not due to the number of people in the team, but their individual strength.

"Well, let's just leave it at that. They'll come over later to finalize the contract. The base is pretty good."

Although these days were a bit difficult due to the weather, the base was still developing steadily. The outer city wall of the base was reinforced again, just like the ancient city wall, very strong, and the generator field of the base also started to operate. I went to the information about solar generators. The remaining scientists in the base are still very capable. They will soon make enough generators for the base. In addition, the intensity of the sun is strong these days, and the power storage of the base is very abundant. There are many things like this It also saves a lot of trouble.

The base established a provisional government last month, but this government is a military government. All management is very strict, and various laws and regulations are constantly promulgated. Although it may be a bit cruel, at this time, it guarantees the continued development of the base.

After a while, Wu Qiang came over with two people. They came to the base and developed smoothly. Not only did they have their own resident, but they also absorbed a lot of manpower.Although it is only a second-rate team at the base, life is still very satisfactory.

The signing of the contract went smoothly. They directly rented this land for two years, which is a bit long compared to other places in the base. Now that the world is changing day by day, who knows when they will completely occupy City B? At that time, there was no land at all, and land was absolutely cheap at this time.The rental period of the base is only one month and one month.

Wu Qiang has his own considerations in doing this. He is not only optimistic about this land, but also the people here.Although they said they would go out for a while, they would still come back. At that time, the two convoys would be close to each other, and they would take care of them in the future. He had awakened a supernatural power, which was a relatively rare gold-type supernatural power. People with supernatural powers have a special induction.He has a very strong sense of this kind. He once asked other supernatural beings. Although there are some supernatural powers that can be dealt with by him, they cannot be sensed if the supernatural powers of a higher level do not radiate their spiritual power. , but he is different, he can feel whether a person is a supernatural person, the feeling is very subtle but accurate.Through this ability, he also recruited a few players for the team who didn't even know that they were supernatural beings. Through this, he also learned about the strength of each team.

But when Wu Qiang saw the Winter Melon team, he felt a little intimidated.There are only ten people in their team, which is two children, but there are seven supernatural beings in their team, including two children. Although Qiu Yi has no supernatural powers, he can feel that his body has also evolved. Now, only that Wang Yi still has Qu Xiao, he can't see it, but it doesn't mean that they are not supernatural beings, that Wang Yi always gives him a cold feeling, once he accidentally saw him kill a zombie, the strength and speed Both are strong.As for that Qu Xiao, he really couldn't see through it, he couldn't even feel his spiritual power, which was scary in itself.

Because this Wu Qiang is very afraid of this team, but this is not a bad thing, if you have a good relationship with them, it is definitely a very good thing.

Qu Xiao heard that he was going to sign a lease contract, so he put down the experiment and came out to see that there was nothing wrong with the contract, but he still asked Mo Fei to add a clause, "Add one, do not cut down the surrounding trees. And help us protect the trees."

The others looked at him in bewilderment, but Mo Fei didn't ask why, and directly wrote his meaning into the contract.

"What do they mean? Why are you not allowed to cut down trees? Didn't we plan to cut down trees? How hot will it be without trees?" Wu Qiang's subordinates asked strangely.

Holding the contract, Wu Qiang frowned, and felt very strange. Did the young man deliberately say something like making a big deal out of a molehill?No, at that time, Mo Fei and Qiu Yi didn't say anything, they wrote it directly, that is to say, they thought that what Qu Xiao said was right, and this article was absolutely necessary.

So why?

After walking two more steps, Wu Qiang suddenly stopped and asked his subordinates, "What kind of circumstances do you cut down trees?"

His subordinates were taken aback by him, "Building a house, what else can we do? How about lighting a fire?"

Wu Qiang patted his head suddenly, "That's right, it's a fire." At this moment, his head started to move, and he thought of many things at once.Except for various convoys, most ordinary people in the base eat from big pots and don’t need to fire their own fire. These convoys have liquefied petroleum gas to some extent. City B used to supply natural gas, and the pipelines did not suffer much damage. Last month, the base even restored natural gas The supply is limited, that is to say, there is no shortage of energy for eating, so if you have to burn wood, then there is only one explanation, which is to keep out the cold.Unlike natural gas, the heating will definitely be cut off in winter. The boiler problem, the water problem, and the pipeline problem, all things added together, this year's heating will definitely be impossible.

His guess was a bit unbelievable, but he felt that what the young man must have meant, maybe he thought that one day the people at the base would chop wood for warmth.If so, this winter is going to be tough.They also need to be prepared.

In fact, Wu Qiang's guess was right. That's what Qu Xiao said. Previously, due to the continuous hot weather and extremely heavy rain, Qu Xiao became vigilant about the weather. After conducting a series of analysis and research with Hua Yun, it was found that the Earth It seems that there is some deviation in the trajectory of the Earth, which may be related to the cosmic storm. Although the deviation angle is not large, only a very small angle, but this small angle is very large for the weather on the earth, and it is farther away from the sun in winter , summer is closer to the sun, which makes the temperature difference between winter and summer huge, and because of these changes, the entire weather of the earth and the operation of the crust will be affected, and it will be affected for many years in the future. This is absolutely true for the current earth. It is worse.When Qu Xiao came to this conclusion, he was in a very bad mood. This planet has already suffered too many disasters.They went out this time to find the rare materials he needed on the one hand, and to see if they could find some coal mines on the other.It would be nice to get some back.This year is the first year after the disaster, and people probably won't have much preparation.

After finishing the family affairs, Qu Xiao and his party packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Because the sun is shining too hard now, they set off at ten o'clock in the evening. When the gate of the base gradually became smaller in sight, everyone suddenly felt a sense of freedom.

Although the base is a gathering place for human beings, they are considered free on their own territory, but they always feel a sense of restraint.So everyone feels relaxed when they leave the base.

The car was made very comfortable by them, and everyone was very happy. Jian Bai started to make their first meal in the car. The energy in the car is solar energy, which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and safe.There is an independent water tank in the car, and both Mo Fei and Fang Qiang can replenish the water inside.

"Where are we going at the first stop?" Wang Yi held the watermelon in his hand and dug it with a spoon.

"Go to the grassland." Qu Xiao sat on the sofa by the window, turned his eyes back from the outside, and answered him.

"Prairie? Why?" Wang Yi asked a little strangely.

"Why are there so many?" Wang Weiwei patted him on the head. "Be careful when you eat, the watermelon water is all over the floor, it's dirty."

Wang Yi stuck out his tongue, and looked at Qu Xiao again, "Why did you go to the grassland?"

"There are things we need there." There are iron ore rare earths and coal mines, which are all what he needs, and there are few people there. Although there may be a lot of animal corpses in the grassland, it is still safe as long as you pay attention to some. No need to face three generations of zombies.

On the first day of travel, they didn’t stop and kept moving forward. The car drove until midnight and encountered a relatively large gas station. There were more than 100 zombies here, and there were many broken cars around. Although there were more zombies, the gas station However, there is a lot of oil left in the tank, which is what they are most lacking at present. The oil collected before has been used up at the base, and there are only two large barrels left, which is enough for four or five days of driving.

There are tank trucks at the gas station, and Qu Xiao put the tank trucks filled with fuel into the space, and then loaded a dozen barrels one by one.

On the road again, everyone can be regarded as letting go of one thing.

In the morning of the next day, the sun was high in the sky, and they dared not move forward, and the wheels of the car felt like they were about to melt.

Take out a large canvas to cover the whole car, the car is also afraid of the sun.

Just like black and white reversed, they arrived at their destination, Xika City, three days later.The car stopped outside the city. Everyone looked at the satellite photos and frowned. This small city was clearly shown in the photos, but what they saw was very strange. There was not a single zombie in the whole city. There is no one, or from the photos, it is actually empty, there is no living creature, and this place is actually an empty city.
