doomsday twilight gl

Chapter 14 The Peaceful Village

The moment before dusk was approaching, Gu Zi shook Tang Xia awake: "It's time to wake up, it's dusk."

Tang Xia immediately opened her eyes when she heard Dusk, "I haven't slept enough..."

"You can't sleep at this point, be careful, let's discuss the next itinerary after night."

"Got it." Tang Xia climbed out, and a few people guarded the entrance of the cave, killing the mutants who smelled the smell from time to time.

At dusk, the monsters will riot abnormally, which has always been the case after the end of the world. At night, it will be a little quieter, because the location of the cave chosen by Heibei is very good. There is only a short road in front of the cave, followed by a very high fault , it's safe to just guard, and you can kill mutant zombies and animals without wasting much effort.

Plants currently have their own territories, and they are kept in captivity. Generally, as long as they do not invade their territories, plants will not move easily.

"Phew, I don't even want to leave this cave." Tang Xia casually burned a zombie: "I feel like as long as I stay here, I can wait for them to come to my door in a safe and labor-saving manner."

"Humans are still social animals after all. If you leave the crowd for too long, you will lose touch. We have accumulated a lot of crystals now, and we will leave soon." Gu Zi blocked the attack of a zombie, and smoothly chopped off the crystals on the back of his head.

Dusk is always short, and soon the sun will set, the zombies surrounding below will begin to evacuate, and the sky will be completely dark.After waiting for a while to see safety, several people returned to the cave together.

"Then what's your plan?" Tang Xia looked at Gu Zi.

Gu Zi set up the pot, put down a bag of butter hot pot ingredients, boiled the water and threw down a lot of fresh ingredients: "It's not convenient for us to take Yaya now, let's go to the base in Neon City that the soldier said before, Set up Yaya and take a look at the current situation of the base by the way."

Yaya sucked her finger, saliva flowed down her mouth, staring at the gurgling pot.

Gu Zi took out a piece of chocolate, peeled off the wrapping paper and stuffed it in her mouth.

"Then when are we going to leave?" Yi Ke watched Gu Zi feeding Yaya, his fingers were stained with brown cream of melted chocolate, forming a color difference with his fair hands.

"Let's go tomorrow, we can't stand still." Gu Zi finished feeding Yaya, wiped her hands with a wet towel, and continued to stir the bottom of the pot.

Soon the hot pot was ready, several people ate together, Gu Zi also took care of feeding Yaya, at this time she felt that it was not easy for Mother Tianxia, ​​and she was not hungry after feeding Yaya.

"Shall we take turns keeping vigil tonight?" Tang Xia glanced at the two of them cautiously, with two blushes on her face: "I will keep watch from 22:00 to 1:00."

“我们的大诗人今天不包全场啦?”谷梓打趣,“那我就1:00到4:00的时间吧,柯柯守4:00到7:00”

"That's... that's not it. Isn't this allocating time in turn." Tang Xia blushed even more.

After a few people are allocated, they each go to supplement their sleep according to their time.

The next day, Gu Zi packed up her things, got on Hei Bei, and ran towards the previous highway.

"The trucks that were confiscated before are all gone." After stepping on the familiar highway, Gu Zi looked at the road ahead in a daze.

"Isn't there still a car?" Tang Xia said, "The one my old man gave me."

"That car is quite big, but it can't fit Hei Bei. Hei Bei will be unbearable to run for a long time."

"That's right..." Tang Xia was listless.

Heibei actually runs very fast, not much slower than the car, but with three people and a little girl on his back, he can run for at most two or three hours.

This expressway is a side road. There are no zombies on the road, and the scattered ones are not a threat at all, and mutant animals do not appear frequently. It can be said that it is a relatively safe road.

"I don't know if I can find another car." Tang Xia said looking at the private car that occasionally appeared on the road and was abandoned on the side.

"There is probably some distance ahead to enter a county town, and there are usually trucks in the county town." She said to herself.

Two branches appeared on the highway, and she signaled Heibei to run towards the other branch.

After a while, the road was twisted and twisted. This is a road built around the mountain. Many of the guardrails have been knocked off. Through the guardrails is the cliff. It is as dark as a black hole.

Hei Bei carried several people along the winding roads one after another, and they were all in a trance after being blown by the biting wind.

Finally, an abandoned toll booth appeared in front of us. After passing the station and running for a few minutes, small houses with a certain height began to appear. This is a small county, and it may be more appropriate to say that it is a township.There is only one street in the entire county, and clean houses are built in two rows.

Different from other places, although the place here is small, there are people coming and going, and it seems that it has not been affected by the doomsday at all.

"Oh, what a big dog." Passers-by pointed at them.

Is there nothing wrong here?Gu Zi looked around suspiciously, the house was clean, and he didn't even see the corrosion traces of the acid rain during the second mutation.Everyone looked very energetic, there was no lack of food, and there was no trace of fear.

When they got off Hei Bei, a woman in front of her came over with a basket of eggs. She looked up and saw that Hei Bei fell to the ground in shock, and a few eggs fell out of the basket.

"Don't be afraid, this is our dog, it won't attack people suddenly." Gu Zi quickly stepped forward to help the woman up, and helped her pick up the undamaged eggs from the ground and put them back into the basket.

"Hey, that's it, what a majestic dog, I've never seen such a big one." The woman patted her chest and took a breath.

"We just came from outside, are you a local?"

"Yes, it's not safe for the little girls to go outside, or go to my house for a while." The woman looked at the girls and invited them very enthusiastically.

Gu Zi hesitated for a moment, then looked back at his companions, none of them expressed any objection: "Alright then, I'll trouble you."

"Hey, the people here are the most hospitable, don't talk about troubles or not." The woman smiled and entertained several people to her home.

The house is as clean as the outside, and there is an auspicious picture hanging in the middle. On the candlestick, Mr. Guan is invited, and an electronic imitation candle is used in front of the offering. It seems that the eyes printed by the red light are also a little blood red. There are small incense burners on both sides.

There is a nice smell of incense and candles in the living room. There is a room on one side of the living room, and there are stairs leading directly to the second floor.

The woman put down the eggs in her hand, placed a few in front of Guan Erye, and bowed devoutly for a few times.

"My wife, there are guests at home." After the worship, she raised her voice and shouted upstairs, her voice was full of anger.

Gu Zi looked at the living room, and Yi Ke Tangxia looked at each other a few times, and they could see doubts in each other's eyes.

"Auntie, is there anything unusual happening here?" Tang Xia stepped forward.

"What's abnormal?" The woman looked at them blankly: "Could it be that vegetable prices have dropped again?"

"It's not the price of vegetables, it's about whether there have been any zombies here, or has anyone in the village gone out to see it?"

"What's wrong with this doll? We don't have this kind of situation here, zombie?" The woman thought for a while, then slapped her head, "Are you talking about the zombie on TV? I watched it, and the TV show It's scary. What's the matter, do you want to watch TV?"

It looks like this woman doesn't know anything about it.

"It's okay." Tang Xia had no choice but to say so.

"Hungry, I'll ask my wife to cook a table of dishes for you to eat." The woman put aside the conversation just now, and entertained them back and forth.

Gu Zi took Yaya in his arms, sat on a wooden chair, and watched them work. The living room here is not closed. When the villagers heard that someone entered the village, they crowded at the door one by one, looking at them curiously. Among them, the most eye-catching one is Heibei, which attracted most people's attention.

Gu Zi smiled bitterly. Anyway, it is very lucky that this place has not been affected by the end of the world.

Yaya is unusually quiet here, and keeps shrinking into her arms. Gu Zi feels that Yaya is afraid of strangers, so he lowers his head and coaxes softly: "Yaya is not afraid, these are simple villagers."

Yaya didn't know if she understood or not, she hugged Gu Zi silently and refused to let go for a moment.

"There is no infection incident here." Gu Zi let Yaya hold her, and whispered to Yi Ke who was beside her.

"I think it's a bit weird." Yi Ke looked around warily.

"You think too much. You see, it's clean here, and there's no harm from the end times. These people are still so enthusiastic." Tang Xia took the melon seed plate that the woman handed her, and squeezed the melon seeds in her mouth. Knocking crisply.

"It's delicious. It's been a long time since I've had melon seeds. It tastes like freshly fried sunflower seeds." Tang Xia handed the plate to Yi Ke.

Yi Ke shook his head, but didn't take it.

"Don't be vigilant, this is an ordinary village, there is nothing unusual." Tang Xia ate without concern.

The smell of the food came out one after another, and the people standing at the door became lively: "There is a guest today, and the hospitality is so rich. It smells like chicken, duck and fish have been cooked all over the place."

"Well, it's rare for our village to have a few guests, and these little dolls are very juicy."

"Cuihuaer~ Is there any share for us?" One of them raised his voice and shouted towards the inner room.

The woman wiped her hands in her apron and lifted the curtain, with a very kind smile on her face: "Yes, yes, I am happy today. I asked Lao Zhang to cook a lot of dishes. I will set up a few tables and bring a few bottles of wine in a while. Let's have fun together." Ha ha ha."

"Okay, I'm going to call my wife to help you." One of the honest-looking men immediately turned back and walked towards his own room.

Seeing this, other people also went back to the house to call the woman at home.

For a while, the living room and outside the door, which were not very large, were full of people.

"It's so lively." Gu Zi looked at such an environment. She lived in the city since she was a child, and the houses in the city are like individual grids. No one knows who the neighbors are, let alone experience this kind of neighbors. The feeling at the door.

"Yeah, these people are so enthusiastic." Tang Xia was also very happy, watching everyone busy.

At this time, Yaya hugged Gu Zi tighter and tighter, her whole head was almost buried in Gu Zi's chest.

"Yaya, don't be afraid, everyone has no malicious intentions." Gu Zi felt a little hurt from being strangled, and lowered his head to comfort her.

She didn't respond other than getting tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong with Yaya?" Tang Xia leaned over.

"Maybe there are too many people, and I was a little scared all of a sudden."

"Children are like this. My brother's child always cries when he sees everyone, but he has a terrible headache. When he goes out to celebrate the New Year, he doesn't make a sound, and he doesn't even know how to cry." There was a crisp sound in her mouth.

A plate of dishes was quickly put on the table, and each dish was covered with a bowl. Tang Xia looked very curious: "What are they doing with the bowls covered?"

Gu Zi shook his head: "I don't know."

"Cover the heat to prevent the dishes from cooling down so quickly." Yi Ke took the conversation. When she was in the orphanage, the people there would cover a bowl every time they cooked, and she once asked them why they covered the bowl.

"Sister, the meal is ready, come and serve dinner." The woman came over and smiled kindly.

They sat down around the table, and the others yelled to take their seats.

The woman picked up the chicken leg and put one in everyone's bowl.Gu Zi divided the chicken carefully, and wanted to feed Yaya, but Yaya shook her head and refused to eat, and continued to curl up in her arms.

"Is this your child? You look so young." The woman asked.

"No, I met her on the road. Her mother is already dead, so we always keep it with me." Gu Zi explained.

The woman immediately clasped her hands together, with a sad expression on her face: "What a cute doll, you look so cute. I have lost my mother since I was a child." She picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and put it in a small bowl, and handed it over: "Little child I like to eat sweet things, oh my poor little one, my heart hurts a little."

Gu Zi thanked Yaya for taking it, and coaxed Yaya: "Good boy, try this?"

Yaya raised her head, glanced at her surroundings, and immediately became terrified, she raised her hand and knocked over the plate that Gu Zi was holding.

The plate fell to the ground with a crisp sound.The woman came over to block the plate, and said with a smile: "Either I hug, my children are all grown up now, I used to coax them when they were young, and they won't cry when they coax them, it's effective .”

Gu Zi gave up the angle a little bit, who would have thought that as soon as the woman got close to Yaya, she who was still quiet just now would not stop crying, kicking the air violently with both hands and feet.She hugged Yaya quickly, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm really sorry, this child is much more serious than ordinary children."

The woman withdrew her hand awkwardly: "Then you eat, eat more, we have cooked a lot of food, if you can't finish it, it will be a waste."

Gu Zi smiled embarrassedly, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, it melted in the mouth, it was soft and delicious, and it was cooked very tasty, it can be said that it was very delicious.Gu Zi showed a startled expression, and motioned for Yi Ke to move his chopsticks.

The woman turned her head and put away the dishes on the floor, and walked into the back kitchen, Gu Zi glanced at the floor from the corner of her eye, it was clean without any porcelain shavings.After just one glance, she ate the dishes on the table without paying attention, and couldn't stop praising: "Auntie, your cooking is so delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious roast chicken."

"Yes, it's so delicious." Tang Xia agreed, with her mouth full of food and never stopped.

Although Yi Ke didn't say anything, the pile of chicken bones in front of him already showed everything, and Hei Bei's bones were thrown to him from time to time.

For a while, drinking and eating meat was very lively around.Gu Zi and the others gradually integrated into the environment and drank a few glasses of wine.

After the meal, the woman warmly invited them: "Come and stay with us today, it's not easy to leave at night."

Gu Zi nodded and helped clean up the leftovers after the meal.

The guest room is a very large room. Since several people do not want to live separately, the woman warmly brought a few large cotton quilts to make floor coverings for them.

The night is gradually coming, it is a dark blue sky, no longer so lifeless black, through the window of the guest room you can see very bright stars.

After closing the door, Yaya raised her head, her eyes were wet, she let go of her hand: "Yaya is so scared."

Gu Zi took out a box of fast food from the space with concern, let her sit on the bed, took a spoon in one hand and scooped up a spoonful of rice to feed her, "You are so hungry, why didn't you eat just now?"

Yaya obediently opened her mouth and took a big mouthful of rice, muttering, "I'm afraid..."

No matter how Gu Zi asked, she kept repeating the word fear.

Gu Zi is helpless, always like this when she is afraid of strangers.She felt that she could understand a little bit, after all, she had just lost her mother, and it was inevitable to feel panic when seeing so many people at once.

Hei Bei stretched out in the corner, Yaya hugged Hei Bei's hard hair after eating, and soon fell asleep.

Gu Zi looked at the sky, "Sure enough, this place has not been affected by the apocalypse. It hasn't even snowed tonight, and you can still see the stars."

"Yes, it's really a very peaceful village." Tang Xia rubbed the pillow on the floor, found a comfortable position and lazily rolled into the bed, and let out a comfortable breath.

Seeing that Yaya was holding onto Hei Bei tightly, Gu Zi had no choice but to wrap her in a quilt, and spread the other half on her and Hei Bei's bodies.

After several people lay down, suddenly there was a gurgling sound from the stomach.

"Are you still not full after eating so much tonight?" Tang Xia was a little puzzled.

"I'm hungry too." Gu Zi touched his stomach, took out food from the space and distributed it to several people, and he felt a little full after eating a lot.

"It's probably because I don't eat much staple food, so I'm hungry quickly." Tang Xia swallowed the rice, "After all, we have always eaten a lot after awakening our abilities."

Occasionally, the cry of frogs could be heard outside, and when they were full, they put down their guards and fell into a deep sleep.

After all, I haven't felt so at ease in a long time.

Gu Zi and the others stayed in the village for a few days, and they had become friends with the villagers here. They knew that the woman who took them in was called Zhang Cuihua, and her wife didn't know her name, but everyone kindly called him Lao Zhang.

There are also Xiaohu and Daniel next door who are honest children. Gu Zi and the others sometimes go to help break corn together, watching a few old people sitting in front of their house basking in the sun and embroidering flowers.

The embroidery is very delicate. The old man always likes to frame a circle with white cloth, and embroider the sun on it with red thread, implying that the sun will rise in the east, and every day will be better.The red thread is very beautiful, the color is very positive, like blood, and the embroidered sun is very realistic.

Sometimes the old people will hold the soles of their shoes and use red thread. They say that red is auspicious and represents prosperity.

This kind of life is very comfortable. Gu Zi and the others gradually let go of their vigilance and like this kind of life from the bottom of their hearts. It is peaceful, and everyone's face is full of spirit and beauty. This place is like a paradise in the last days, probably given by God. and rewards.

Sometimes when the man is fishing, the child will happily run over with the big grass carp in his arms, saying in a childlike voice that he wants to give it to his sisters. Innocent and cute.

The sun here is warm and comfortable during the day, and at dusk, it also glows a little orange like an egg yolk. At night, you can see many beautiful stars, and you can also see the Big Dipper very clearly.

Even before the end of the world, the city where Gu Zi lived could not see such obvious stars at night.

Yi Ke is the most vigilant of the three, but in this ordinary day, she also softened her face just like Gu Zi Tang Xia.Hei Bei lays lazily at the door to bask in the sun every day. Some naughty children come over to grab its ears and touch its teeth. Hei Bei never resists, just basking comfortably in the sun and letting them go .

Yaya stopped crying, but she still didn't eat their food, and she didn't get close to anyone. She just followed them closely, and if anyone approached her, she would shrink back immediately.Although Gu Zi felt a little troubled by her shy personality, but Yaya had improved so much, she could only take her time.

In this ordinary village, I don't know how long it has been, so long that they don't want to go outside the village to experience those tragic killings again, and face the dangerous environment everywhere.

After all, this kind of life is really comfortable.
