Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

The torrential rain soon came down.

The sky and the earth were so white that even the shadows of the trees ahead could not be seen.

Three people and one cat crowded in the cab, parked the car and looked at the white land ahead.

The rain was too loud, and the wind with the smell of earth and rain poured in together with the rain, sweeping away the dullness in the car.

The wind with rain was a bit cold, Xia Maomao shrank into his brother's arms, "Mi."

Xia Huoqu hugged him tightly, looked at the rain outside, and raised his voice, "I don't know how long it will take for the rain to stop."

Yan Xi Nian said: "Summer rainstorm, it won't last long."

Xia Huoqu's eyes were full of worry, "I don't know if there will be any rain in the base. The cement of the hydropower station has not yet dried. It is raining so heavily, I am afraid it will be a little dangerous."

"Not at all." Yan Xiannian said, "If there is a real danger, they will find a way."

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu discussed the affairs in the base.

The sound mixed with the sound of rain was very hypnotic. Xia Maomao listened to it and soon fell asleep.

The rain outside became less and less, and the truck went back on the road, staggering forward.

Xia Maomao slept very refreshed this time. After waking up, he found that he had been placed in Kong Zhi's arms, his brother was driving beside him, and Yan Xi Nian was resting on the back of the seat to catch up on sleep. .

His brother glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "Are you awake?"

He stepped on Kong Zhi's legs, stretched vigorously, and raised his head to greet his brother: "Meow."

It was still raining outside, but it was very small and turned into a drizzle.

The sky was blue with a rainbow hanging above it.

Trucks drive over plants, and puddles on the side of the road reflect blue sky, yellow clouds and green trees.

Looking at the sky again, the sun was already approaching the top of the mountain, and it was about to set.

Only then did Xia Lunong understand why his brother asked him if he was awake, it turned out that he had been asleep for most of the day.

This sleep was so comfortable, Xia Lunong only felt refreshed, even if she turned back into a human being.

He walked around in small steps with his paws on Kong Zhi's legs, holding Kong Zhi's clothes in his mouth and beckoning, "Meow?"

"What do you want to say?" Kong Zhi took down the notebook and pen from the console and gave him to write by himself.

Xia Lunong holds the pen in her mouth: I can change back

Kong Zhi read it out for him word by word.

Xia Huo's channel: "You feel it for a while, the better state just after waking up does not mean that it will continue to be better."

"mum."

Xia Huoqu took a moment to look at him, "If you really think it's okay, you can change back when we get to the camp."

After hearing this, Xia Lunong shrank obediently on Kong Zhi's lap.

It rained too much today, and they were delayed on the road for a long time. They couldn't complete the journey as planned, and couldn't reach the original resting place, so they had to take a detour in the middle and go to another village.

Xia Maomao kept looking outside.

They left the base and walked towards the northwest. There were relatively few mountains here, and most of the areas were large plains.

Before the catastrophe, the roadsides should have been ordinary crop fields. Even now that weeds are overgrown and shrubs are everywhere, it can be seen that both sides are flat and there are obvious signs of cultivation.

I don't know if it's raining or it's the season of wildflowers blooming. At this moment, there are small purple and purple flowers everywhere on both sides of the road. The flowers bloom among the green leaves, forming a sea of ​​flowers.

Xia Mao Mao's eyes like glass balls reflect the entire sea of ​​flowers.

He propped his front paws on the glass, watching very intently, standing on his hind legs all the time, and he didn't seem to feel tired.

The truck drove forward all the way, and soon drove into an abandoned school.

The school buildings have all collapsed, but the track and field are still there, and there is also a basketball court next to it, which looks quite flat.

There should be a flag-raising stand in front of the basketball court, and the national flag on the flag-raising stand is still there.

Xia Lunong's gaze was attracted by the national flag, and his eyes became sore.

He stayed motionless on Kong Zhi's lap, Kong Zhi followed his gaze, saw the national flag, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Xia Huoqu saw it too, parked the car and remained silent together.

Yan Xiannian felt that the atmosphere was not right while he was half asleep and half awake. He opened his eyes and followed their line of sight. He also saw the national flag, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Xia Huoqu pushed open the car door and said with a sigh, "Come down."

Three people and one cat go down.

Xia Lunong jumped into the back fight, and changed her clothes among the densely packed crabs.

When we came down again, everyone was still looking at the national flag.

Xia Lunong stood under the national flag, looked at the somewhat faded national flag, and stood at attention.

The three of Xia Huoqu also spontaneously stood at attention.

The four of them refused to look away for a long time.

Xia Huoqu suddenly spoke, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Xia Lunong and the others listened attentively, and were taken aback for a moment—he softly sang the national anthem.

The national anthem is still playing.

Another voice joins and the anthem becomes a duet.

The remaining two voices sounded at the same time, and the voices of the four merged into a trickle.

The four of them stood under the national flag, stared at the national flag, and sang the national anthem clearly and choked up while singing.

The setting sun dragged their figures out of long shadows.

The mood of the few people was very low that night.

Charlon never turned back into a cat.

The four simply cooked noodles and ate them, and one of them began to watch for two hours to rest.

The only thing that bothered them that night was mosquitoes.

Maybe some power was protecting them, they slept very well with the cool night breeze on their pillows.

Get up the next day and continue on your way.

It was a sunny day, but the road conditions were worse than yesterday. There were mud puddles everywhere on the road after it had rained. The car swayed, making everyone sick.

What's even more uncomfortable is that because they failed to reach Yacheng as planned, the big crabs in the car body were not very active. It is estimated that they will only get a car of dead crabs in another two days of bumps.

Yan Xiannian looked up at the sky, "The plan can't keep up with the changes, find a place to rest first, and make these crabs into bald butter."

Xia Huoqu said while driving, "There is no gas."

They only brought rice and a small amount of oil when they went out this time, and there was not enough oil to make bald butter.

Yan Xi Nian said: "I'm going to catch a wild boar."

Xia Huoqu glanced at him, "How can wild boars be so easy to catch?"

"Is it okay to stand still when you have time?"

Yan Xiannian turned his head and nudged Kong Zhi lightly with his elbow, and asked with a smile, "Fly to the sky to find where there are wild boars?"

Kong Zhi nodded.

Yan Xiannian took the map, looked at it carefully, and marked a certain small village, "Let's change the destination - go to Hujiagang to rest tonight. This place was in good condition when I went there last year. There are Boar."

Xia Huoqu was driving the car, looking ahead, and said casually, "I'll go, my beast shape is better at long-distance raids."

Yan Xiannian was not convinced when he said this, "My animal form is not bad at long-distance raids, not to mention there is Kong Zhi to help me locate, there will be no problem."

Xia Huoqu didn't argue with him, and drove the car to the designated resting place, only telling them, "Go early and come back early."

"Don't worry." Yan Xiannian took off her clothes and threw them in the cab, "We'll be back soon."

After speaking, he turned into a huge white tiger by the car, sniffed the air, stood and looked in a certain direction.

Kong Zhi quickly turned into a golden eagle, took a few steps to run up, flapped his wings and flew up, flew to a high altitude, circled twice in the air, screamed, and flew towards a certain direction.

Baihu followed his figure and shot out like a sharp arrow.

Xia Huoqu watched them leave, got out of the car and said to Xia Lunong, "Come down and do some exercise."

Xia Lunong looked enviously at the backs of the white tiger and the giant eagle. He was too weak, and hunting was never his business.

Hearing his brother's words, he looked away and stepped down.

Lifting his feet in mid-air, something popped out from under the car, wrapping around his ankles directly through his trousers.

"Ah!" Xia Lunong's eyes widened in fright, and when she looked down, it was a vine with jagged leaves.

The sawtooth cut through his trousers, but luckily he still had socks inside, so he couldn't cut his legs immediately.

He touched the console with his backhand, wanting to touch the dagger.

His brother looked over, his eyes fixed, he raised his hand and raised the knife, cutting off the vine directly.

"A non-toxic weak mutant plant." Xia Huoqu concluded, reaching out to hold him, "Don't worry."

Xia Lunong glanced at his feet with lingering fear, always staying beside his brothers, he had forgotten that this is a world full of dangers.

Xia Huoqu locked the car door and took him to Houdou, "Pick out the crabs that lack vitality first, and then steam them and remove the meat."

"Oh, good." Xia Lunong took a look, "Let's find a water source to wash the crabs first?"

"Look for firewood first, and wash while steaming."

Xia Lunong yawned and looked around.

They stopped in an open field, and there were collapsed buildings tens of meters away.

If you want to find dry and easy-to-burn firewood, it is more convenient to find the wood inside the building directly.

Xia Huoqu thought so too, took him to wander around the ruins, found some firewood, and came back to light a fire to steam crabs.

Working in the temporary base, the two of them were no easier than Yan Xiannian and Kong Zhi who were hunting.

Xia Lunong was so tired that her back ached and her hands turned white when brushing crabs.

Fortunately, the results are quite obvious. The crabs next to it are piled up into a hill. It is conceivable that when these crabs are removed, a large amount of crab meat will definitely be removed.

The bald butter has always been a delicacy among the delicious ones. I don’t know if all the bald butter will be replaced this time. If they are all replaced, they can catch some more crabs when they return, and make more bald butter at home. meal.

Xia Lunong's head moved bit by bit, thinking about bald butter, almost having a dream.

Xia Huoqu sat across from him, saw that his eyes were full of sleepiness, and gently bumped his knee with his knee, "Go to the car to rest for a while when you're tired."

"No need." Xia Lunong yawned again, raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with her arm, and said, "I'm not very tired, just a little sleepy. Brother, did you hear the sound?"

"Huh?" Xia Huoqu paused.

Xia Huoqu listened intently. In the evening wind, there were quite a lot of voices, such as birds chirping and frogs chirping. "What sound do you mean?"

Xia Lunong tilted her head and stared fixedly at the dusk sky, "It seems to be a dull beating sound, I'm not sure if it's real, it seems to be an illusion again."

Xia Huoqu followed his gaze, "I didn't hear it, maybe the voice was too low. Do you feel the danger?"

Xia Lunong shook her head, "No."

If there was danger, he would not be calm.

Xia Huo channel: "Any sound in the wild is normal, don't worry about it, and continue to brush crabs."

"Oh." Xia Lunong lowered his head and continued to brush. He could already smell the aroma of steamed crabs. When he was going to unpack them, he would try two of them first. It happened to be a pot. Stir-fried rice with crab meat would be delicious at night.

Thinking of this, Xia Lu swallowed heavily.
