Doomsday Allure

Li Louzhai is [-] kilometers southeast of the county seat, at the junction of Weiyuan and Anwu County.

Li Qingyuan's home is on the northernmost street of the village. Behind the Li family's homestead is a large piece of empty and scorched farmland.

When Wei Buzheng and the others walked into the Li family's yard, Li Zaiping, Li Dongyuan, Lin Yu and several helpers from Li Jiaben's family were moving grain out of the cellar.

Wei Buzheng was the first to run over and stopped Li Qingyuan's parents: "Uncle and aunt, since we agreed to take Qingyuan and Qingwu away, we have the ability to guarantee their future lives, don't..."

Li's parents, together with Li Zaiping and Li Dongyuan, struggled to carry a sack of wheat out of the cellar. Li's mother gasped and said, "After Qingyuan and Qingwu leave, there will only be his father and us left. We won't have much to eat. You are going out, but it is extremely difficult, and it is safe to bring more food."

At the beginning of September, it was reported on the TV news that several provinces in the central and western regions experienced a severe drought that has never happened in a century, and the autumn crops were greatly reduced or completely eliminated, including the central and eastern parts of Xihai Province. The autumn crops here this year are only ten times that of normal years. one.

In the past, due to the peaceful and prosperous age of more than 200 years, all kinds of supplies were relatively sufficient, and food was the cheapest necessities in Huaxia Kingdom. A survey once showed that the average amount of food stored by urban families was not enough to supply a family with half a month's ration ; There are relatively many rural areas, and the per capita is less than [-] catties, which is not enough for one person's rations for a year.

According to this statistic, the four members of the Li family have about one thousand catties of food in storage. Now, there are four full sacks in the yard, each of which is two hundred catties.

Shen Wei went over and grabbed Papa Li: "What we said just now was just an excuse to allow us to come to your house to take away the two children, you don't want to..."

Father Li wiped the sweat off his face and interrupted him: "You are an excuse, we are not. In this world, food will be a precious and life-saving thing in the future. You must not be able to buy it on the road. We have nothing else in the countryside. I will send you a few bags of food, and you have to take whatever you say.”

Lijiazhai is at the junction of the two counties. Cross-county marriages are very common in the village. In normal life, people do not have the concept of geography, and there are many daily exchanges. Everyone in the village has relatives and friends in Anwu County. Li Qingyuan's alien Yes, Anwu County has already spread the word that the four members of the Li family were placed under house arrest by Wu Yongjun in Weiyuan County. In the past few days, people from Anwu County have approached the Li family village many times to inquire.

Shen Wei and the others were in a hurry to hurry, they didn't want to make any further troubles, so they decided to secretly take away the Li family brothers and sisters.

They do this for another reason.

Several leaders in Weiyuan County who had returned to government posts were still worried about Wu Yongjun's cruelty to Luo Chong, worried that if someone like Wu Yongjun appeared again, the safety of their children would not be guaranteed, so they slapped Shen Wei on the sidelines. Tempting, I hope they can take away one or two children who have no self-protection power.

Shen Wei only had one big treasure in his hand, and he couldn't bear too many favors, so he had no choice but to take none.

Luo Chong was an exception. Minister Luo passed away. Luo Chong's mother and sister were in the capital. Luo Chong was so seriously injured that he couldn't live alone in Weiyuan. No one could say anything if he was taken away.

They couldn't take away Li Qingyuan's brother and sister in Weiyuan County, so they needed to find an excuse to go to Li's house in a legitimate way. Therefore, Wang Zhengqing proposed to Li Qingyuan's parents in front of several people, hoping that they could help buy them. About a thousand catties of grain.

When Shen Wei, Wei Buzheng, and Luo Yongzhou and Ye Qinghui were discussing the follow-up matters of Weiyuan County in the guest house, Li Zaiping, Li Dongyuan, and Lin Yu took the lead on the grounds that they went to Lijiazhai to raise food. mouth people.

Li Qingyuan's parents knew that Wang Zhengqing's request for help buying food was an excuse, but they had their own ideas. When they got home, they started preparing food with the family.

Wei Buzheng was really sorry, and wanted to convince the Li family's parents, but Shen Wei stopped him and said, "Since you insist, let's take these few bags with us, if there are more, there will be no Qingyuan and Qingyuan in the car." This is where Wu sat."

The uncle of the Li family, that is, Li Zaiping's father, came up from the cellar, looked at the big baby, then at the group of them, and said to Li Qingyuan's parents: "That's it, your sister-in-law and I originally talked , take the five hundred catties of corn and more than 100 catties of millet for the child, it is really impossible to fit them now."

Wei Buzheng heaved a sigh of relief, he felt that he was a liar for earning two children for nothing and asking them to post so many things.

But he didn't finish his breath, Uncle Li winked, Li Zaiping flashed back and forth, Uncle Li had a calico bag in his hand, and he stuffed it into Shen Wei's arms: "The cost of raising a child Big, I can’t bring food, so bring this.”

Shen Wei touched it, and found that the bag was full of money, which should be one hundred thousand. He stretched out his hand and wanted to return it: "Uncle, this is absolutely impossible..."

Uncle Li interrupted him: "If this amount of money was put away before, it would not take a few years for one child. Now you can raise two for our family at once, and we are already unable to afford it; what's more, in this world, it is still not worth it." Whether the money can be used again or not is still a question, maybe it will be waste paper in the future, no matter what, our family has taken advantage of it, so don't refuse."

When Shen Wei saw Wei Buzheng, his heart suddenly moved, and he took back the calico bag: "Since you said so, then I will accept it for my friend first, and if we have a chance to meet again in the future, we will settle the score."

Seeing that Shen Wei had collected the money, Li Zaiping and the Li family were also relieved. Uncle Li forced Wei Buzheng to let them into the house to drink water. Then, under the command of Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu, their family got all the food in the car. On the top, it was tightly covered with a few weathered sheets, and tied firmly with hemp rope.

Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu lay between the sacks, soft and sheltered from the wind.

Under the silent gaze of the whole family, Li Qingyuan and Li Qingwu sat in the trunk tearfully.

The 17-year-old daughter of the second uncle of the Li family has also turned into a zombie, the one that Li Zaiping ran with her back on the highway yesterday. She is looking at Li Qingyuan and Li Qingwu, crying hissingly in her throat. The feelings of the older generation are harmonious, and the feelings of the younger generations are also deep. This sister is reluctant to part with her younger brother and younger sister.

Li Qingyuan's mother and aunt burst into tears, seeing that there was still room in the trunk, they went back to the house and brought two baskets of red dates and peanuts.

Everyone was about to get in the car and leave. Gao Youxiang said to Li Zaiping, "Welcome to Zhongzhou."

He envied Li Zaiping's scud ability very much, and wished he would follow suit.

Li Zaiping was also very reluctant to part with them: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go."

When the car arrived at the gate, Wei Buzheng said to Li's mother: "In the jar with the peony flower pattern in the kitchen, I left something for you. Don't waste it. If the situation can stabilize in the future, I hope you and uncle can also go to Zhongzhou."

Mother Li was puzzled, but she nodded immediately and said, "I see. If the two of them are disobedient, you should beat them and scold them. Just don't let them be bullied by outsiders."

Wei Buzheng waved his hand: "Goodbye, Auntie, no one can bully them."

Li Qingyuan suddenly stopped crying, and whispered: "Brother Xiaowei."

Wei Buzheng turned his head: "What's the matter?"

Li Qingyuan stood up, and Pawei Buzheng said a few words in his ear.

After Wei Buzheng finished listening, he whispered the message to Shen Wei, and Shen Wei asked Gao Youxiang to turn the car around and stop for a while.

Every family has people turned into zombies and zombies. In order to keep a low profile as much as possible so as not to cause disasters, no one from the neighbors came out to watch the commotion in the Li family, and the street was quiet. .

Shen Wei and Xiang Zhen got out of the car and walked to a large deserted courtyard diagonally opposite to the southwest of Li's house.

Ten seconds later, there was the sound of two people running in a panic in the yard, and someone shouted with difficulty: "We... no... no... we... just... want... think..."

Xiang Zhen jumped onto the wall and said to the yard: "This is just a warning. The Li family is under our cover. Don't think about it being dark and windy. No one will know who it is if you do something. It's about you when you go back." The staff said, the geese leave their marks, ten or twenty years, as long as we think about it, there will be no one we can't find or kill."

After he finished speaking, he jumped off the wall and returned to the car with Shen Wei.

The uncle of the Li family cupped his fists and bowed to thank them.

When the car drove out of Lijiazhai, Wang Zhengqing turned around and patted the head of the sobbing little girl, and said gently, "Qingyuan, didn't we agree that we won't use the power for now?"

Qing Yuan pouted and nodded: "I am, I am, afraid of people who will bully my parents and our family."

Wei Buzheng said: "If you were at home and you were relatively weak, they would; but now that you are out, they can't find you, so they don't dare. They are afraid that one day you will become stronger and go back to find them."

Li Qingyuan hugged her elder brother Li Qingwu's arm, weeping silently; Li Qingwu had a sullen face, sobbing and wheezing, and said nothing.

From Lijiazhai back to the Qinglan Highway, they were still the only car in sight, and there were occasional people walking together on the side of the road, ragged and unkempt, who looked like they had been walking for many days.

Everyone would hold out their hand to stop the car, and they didn't stop once.

Entering Anwu County, Xiang Zhen raised the speed to the limit, and gray smoke rolled up behind the big baby. In less than four or ten minutes, they passed Anwu County and entered Zhonggu County.

Twenty minutes later, Xiang Zhen drove the big baby off the highway and drove into a forest beside the road.

The tank is out of fuel and they need to use the spare.

Shen Wei lazily leaned against the big baby with Wei Buzheng, stretched out his right hand, and a big log barrel appeared in front of him.

Luo Chong, who was pushed out by Xiang Zhen to breathe, was stunned: "Empty, space? Brother Shen, you, what kind of power are you?"

Shen Wei pulled Wei Buzheng and jumped onto the roof of the car, several sacks disappeared without a sound, and then they found that the Li family still packed two more sacks of wheat, and one cloth bag, about a hundred catties of millet.

The two looked at each other helplessly and smiled, Wei Buzheng called the rest into the space, leaving only Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu lying there like dried fish dragged to the river beach by fishing nets.

Shen Wei smiled and said, "I'm just a space ability, and the air ability is a derivative of the space ability."

Luo Chong wondered: "Air... space, are these two things related?"

Wei Buzheng said: "Of course there is. If there is no space, where is the air?"

Luo Chong still thinks that space has nothing to do with air, but if he thinks about it carefully, what Wei Buzheng said makes sense. There is no space for existence, so how can it exist?

But when I think about it more carefully, I still feel that something is not quite right.

The global catastrophe five years ago, from the appearance, was much more serious than this time, but that time, there was no phenomenon of metal being corroded, and various synthetic substances were decomposed and weathered. The improvement made by the special damage phenomenon is far from enough to deal with the current accident.

Without rubber, plastic and metal pipes, the walls of the wooden barrel are too thick and the mouth is too large, and the gasoline inside cannot be filled into the big baby's fuel tank.

Wei Buzheng looked at the fuel tank for a while, then called out to Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu: "You two go get a thicker tree, about one meter in the middle."

Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu didn't ask any questions, and ran towards a tree with a trunk about [-] centimeters in diameter not far away, and scratched it with their hands.

Wei Bu disputed and asked Luo Chong: "Can you control it more finely and make the wood into a funnel shape?"

Luo Chong was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Wei Buzheng gestured to him, pointing to the oil filling port: "Funnel, the bottom tube is thin enough to be inserted in, and the upper opening is wide enough to allow the oil in the barrel to pour in."

Luo Chong looked at a group of people who were looking at him expectantly in embarrassment. With the palm of his right hand down, he exerted force against the ground. Slowly, a little bit of green appeared at the root of the dry grass about five square meters under his hand. Luo Chong said: "My wood ability is to spawn plants."

Wei Buzheng said: "Okay, then let Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu scratch out a funnel."

Seeing Wei Buzheng's helpless appearance, Shen Wei laughed silently.

Li Dongyuan and Lin Yu were finally no longer just burdensome, and they were very excited. Under Gao Youxiang's strict monitoring, they scratched out a half-meter-long wooden funnel in half an hour.

The oil was finally added.

Gao Youxiang said: "130 nine point one liter."

There is a very clear mark on the capacity of the barrel, 150 liters, that is to say, even if it is packed in a very well-sealed special log barrel, four days before Wei Buzheng puts the barrel into the space, the oil in the barrel will be enough. Nearly eleven liters have evaporated, an average of almost three liters a day.

If they hadn't met Wei Buzheng, they might only have about [-] liters of oil left per barrel, or even less. Shen Wei felt that once the path of volatilization was opened, it would definitely proceed at an accelerated rate.

Shen Wei whispered in Wei Buzheng's ear, "Thanks for having you."

Wei Buzheng smiled, and retreated to the front of the big baby's car.

Shen Wei said: "It seems that as soon as we stop in the future, I will have to take the big baby away. If you slow down, we will have to walk several kilometers in the end."

The normal fuel consumption of the big baby is 13.5 liters per 1000 kilometers, but this is the most energy-efficient fuel consumption under good road conditions and driving at a constant speed. Yes, but it is indisputable that they still have to walk more than [-] kilometers on Ruth in the end.

Realizing that gasoline would volatilize for no reason, everyone's sense of crisis intensified, and as soon as the gas was filled, they immediately got into the car and drove on the road.

Luo Chong was so frustrated that he didn't say a word.

He had the cheek to rely on others, and thought that his dual-line ability was a treasure, and he could show his might at critical moments, but in the end, he couldn't even compare to a zombie.

Gao Youxiang and Luo Chong felt sorry for each other: "Brother, don't be sad, your abilities will be useful if you upgrade slowly, brother, I am the one who is really weak."

Wang Zhengqing said, "Isn't that very useful for you? If you hadn't monitored the funnel just now, how could it be so fine and easy to use?"

Gao Youxiang said: "The funnel is not made every day. Besides, even if it is not difficult and fine, it can still pour oil into it."

Wei Buzheng sat in the middle of the back row, with Xiang Zhen on the left and Shen Wei on the right. He listened to Gao Youxiang's words, thought for a while, and then whispered to Xiang Zhen and Shen Wei.

After Shen Wei listened, he squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Gao Youxiang: "Girl, don't be blind to gold and jade, such a good ability, you can't do it just by looking at the size of an object, you have to develop it in all directions. , recently, you have started to practice feeling the ratio of Wu Chong and Qing Ling in the air, as well as their absolute value per unit volume."

Without waiting for Gao Youxiang to argue, he immediately said, "This is an order."

Gao Youxiang paused for several seconds before replying sullenly: "Yes."

For the next 200 kilometers, it was a smooth journey. All the bridges in the middle could pass normally until they left the Jingyuan area and entered the area under the jurisdiction of Ninghai, the capital of Xihai Province.

Wei Buzheng gestured to Shen Wei and said: The concentration of Wuchong is increasing. In this environment, baby, the volatilization of gasoline should be accelerated, and the materials of the car body will also be corroded.

During the time when the big baby went from the air force base to Yajin, the body material of the car had been corroded, but it was not serious. Since the time when they stopped at the Benma River, Wei Buzheng would immediately put it into the optimization hut, which stopped the big baby from continuing The trend of corrosion, but because the time to enter the space for repair is relatively short, the original corrosion of the big baby has always been there.

Wei Buzheng was worried that if he had been in the environment with a particularly high concentration of Wuchong for too long, his repairs would not be able to keep up with the corrosion rate of the big baby, and the corrosion would aggravate.

Shen Wei asked with his eyes: Is there a way to stop it?

Wei Buzheng: I used my kung fu to practice and wrapped the big baby with a clear spirit, but now...

There is a relatively suitable environment for practicing Yungong. It turns out that there are few of them. Wei Buzheng can sit in the trunk by himself. After adjusting for a period of time, he slowly enters the state. If he hasn't cultivated to the point where he sees the rolling world of mortals as nothingness, a big circle can't finish running, and he probably has to wake up several times.

Shen Wei looked at the back and asked: Would it be better if the two of us were in the trunk?

The trunk is very spacious, and Wei Buzheng does not need to be surrounded by people when it is critical.

Wei Buzheng also looked back: How about trying?

Shen Wei asked Gao Youxiang to stop the car, and the two of them changed places with Luo Chong and the Li family brothers and sisters.

Luo Chongte happily took the middle seat in the back row. He liked to play with Xiang Zhen. Wang Zhengqing, considering Luo Chong's leg injury, asked Li Qingyuan to sit on his lap.

His son is half a year younger than Li Qingyuan, and his daughter is about to turn three years old. He hasn't seen him for more than two months. He misses his children very much, and he feels very kind when he sees a child like Li Qingyuan.

Xiang Zhen also asked Li Qingwu to sit on her lap, so that Luo Chong could lie down halfway.

No one complained, everyone knew that there must be a reason why Shen Wei told Wei Buzheng to go to the trunk.

Besides, even if there is no special reason, Wei Buzheng just wants to go to the trunk to lie down and sleep, it's not a problem, without Wei Buzheng's generosity, they don't even have hot and delicious food these days, and they can't even drink clean water In fact, not to mention that Wei Buzheng was trying to heal the injuries of the captain and Master Dao.

Wei Buzheng didn't know everyone's thoughts, he was actually a little guilty, but this kind of thought only lasted for a while, and as Wu Chong's concentration increased, he quickly adjusted his mood and entered the state of cultivation.
