The System Sent Me an Object [End of the World]

Lian Runing woke up from the shaking, opened her eyes and looked out the car window, only to see the endless fields.In a daze, she thought she had returned to Hao Jian's village, but the bumpy mountain road made her almost throw up.

"Where is this?" She looked at Hao Jian.

"Awake? I don't know where this is."

Lian Runing was startled: "Then why did Kai come here?"

"The main road is completely paralyzed, and the expressway is also dead, so I made a slight detour. However, without navigation, I was lost." Hao Jian said it as a matter of course, and there was no embarrassment because of it.

Lian Runing's eyes widened in shock, and she was speechless after a while: "So, where are you going now?"

"When I came in, I saw it said farmhouse, so come in and have dinner first!"

Lian Runing pulled the window of the car, and saw the setting sun was glowing red, and the residual heat made the ground feel hot.She has been sleeping for more than two hours. She didn't rest much last night, and she encountered so many zombies during the day, so she slept for so long when she was physically and mentally exhausted.

On the contrary, Hao Jian didn't seem to have rested all this time. She thought they should find a place to rest after nightfall, so she didn't object.

The car followed the simple billboard and drove into the forest. On the road, we could see houses in twos and threes, but they were not on the scale of a village.After passing a fish pond, the car was in front of a house made of pure wood. This house looked rather simple, as if it would collapse if the car hit it.

"Is there anyone else?" Lian Runing looked around cautiously, and she would not get out of the car easily until she confirmed it was safe.

"Beep beep—" Hao Jian honked the horn.

Lian Runing thought to herself, isn't she afraid of attracting zombies?But he would not open his mouth to question Hao Jian's actions. After all, the experience of these days together proved that Hao Jian's actions were not yet reckless.

Someone in the room cautiously stuck out his head. Hao Jian opened the door and got out of the car, asking, "Are you still in business?"

"You, where did you come from?" The man came out, but he had a hatchet in his hand.

"Passing through the country road, I came in when I saw the signboard. Is it not for business?"

The man thought for a while, then took another look at her and Lian Runing, and said, "Are you here for dinner? Have dinner."

Hao Jian walked over, and the man also turned around and put down the hatchet, and looked at her carefully, secretly glad that she was alive.Seeing his movements, Hao Jian asked, "We are not sick at all, we just plan to have a meal and leave, you can rest assured."

A middle-aged woman came out from inside and asked, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, I'm here to eat." The man replied.

Lian Runing had already got off the car, she saw such a crude environment here, and said, "Are you all staying here?"

"How is it possible? I usually do business here. Don't look at how simple this place is. Many people just like this kind of environment. Usually, many people come here." The man pointed to another table for them as he spoke.

There is an empty window behind this table, and you can directly see the fish pond, and there is a wooden bridge on the fish pond, on which you can fish.Lian Runing also likes this kind of leisure time, no wonder there is business in such a remote place.

"But why don't you eat in hotels or restaurants outside?" the middle-aged woman asked curiously.

Hao Jian smiled: "Don't you guys know what's going on outside? Those restaurants are all closed."

The two thought for a while, and became even more confused: "Then how do you know we didn't close the door?"

"Guess, I just came to try my luck, but I didn't expect that we would meet."

The man laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I originally planned to close the door and go home to guard, but when I thought that there are so many vegetables and fish that have not been processed here, I couldn't bear it. No, I planned to come back and take all the fish. Fish it back and pick the vegetables too, so as not to waste them."

"Yes, we heard the sound of the car and were frightened. We hid for a while before daring to come out." The middle-aged woman also added.

"At this time, guarding the food is the most important thing, isn't it, why are you willing to let us eat?" Lian Runing asked.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "These things can't be kept for a long time, and they will either be ruined or broken. Someone needs them, why don't you take them out and eat them?"

Lian Runing once doubted human nature, but she seemed to see the kind side of human nature in them again. She turned her head and wanted to share this feeling with Hao Jian, but Hao Jian quickly ordered the dishes and said: "Trouble."

After they left, Lian Runing said: "They are really kind, but... are you really here to try your luck?"

Hao Jian thought for a while and said in a low voice, "How is that possible."

Lian Runing looked at her in surprise: "Then—"

"I just got lost while avoiding the paralyzed section of the road, and then accidentally came to a small town in the neighboring city, and remembered that my friend's hometown is here, and according to him, his home is It’s a farmhouse. I took a little detour and found it.”

Lian Runing was also impressed: "It's luck to come here, but isn't your friend here?"

"It looks like he's still in Pearl City, and it's unclear whether he's alive or dead."

"Then this is his parents?"

"It should be. I always hear him brag about how good his parents are, and now I see it with my own eyes. If you have the chance to see him again, let's agree with him once!"

"And you're not going to tell them you're friends with their kids?"

Hao Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled again: "I can't do anything, I can't reunite their family, why should I tell them that their child's life or death in Mingzhu City is uncertain?"

Lian Runing thought about it, and it was true.Mingzhu City, like Nanfang City, is more chaotic and more susceptible to infection than here. They may not be in danger if they stay here, and they can wait for their children to come back.But once they know the relationship between Hao Jian and their children, they will either go to Mingzhu City to find their children, or they will become more anxious and sad while waiting.

The food was served soon, and seeing the extra dish, Hao Jian looked at them in confusion.

"Anyway, there is too much and no one will eat. If you eat more, you won't be charged more." The middle-aged woman said.

"In the next few days, there may be a lack of food. You should find a way to dry or pickle these vegetables into easy-to-storage foods such as dried radish, and save them." Hao Jian said.

"This is also a good idea." The middle-aged woman smiled.

Lian Runing asked tentatively, "Are you the only ones here?"

"Oh, yes, usually it's just our husband and wife and a relative. But she went home after the accident."

"It looks a bit remote here, do you know that something happened outside?"

"We heard about it when we went to the market to buy ingredients, but my son contacted me before and told me something, so we watched TV and realized that it was really dangerous outside!"

"Oh, that's really a blessing. When we came here, we saw many people were killed because they didn't know what happened outside. But, if you talk about your son, then he..."

"He's not here. He's in Mingzhu City. After hearing that something happened in Mingzhu City, the government evacuated him urgently. He followed him. As long as he has a chance, he can come back."

Lian Runing looked at Hao Jian happily, and the latter pushed the rice in front of her: "Aren't you hungry? The food is getting cold."

Lian Runing wondered why Hao Jian heard the news but was not happy for his friend's safety. When the middle-aged woman left, Hao Jian asked her first and said, "All the way, you listen to the radio. Did you evacuate somewhere?"

Lian Runing opened her mouth and said dumbly, "It seems not."

"No one knows which of the people taking refuge is carrying the zombie virus. The so-called refuge is a joke."

Lian Runing also understood: "He said that to reassure his parents?!"

After eating, the couple took out two disposable lunch boxes and handed them to Hao Jian: "Let's see where you are going. You may be hungry at night, so take them and eat on the road."

Hao Jian was silent for a moment, took the lunch box and handed it to Lian Runing, then went back to the car and took out the backpack.When Lian Runing saw that she took out three bags of things from her backpack, she was a little dazed—wasn't her previous backpack out of food?Where did these things come from?

Inside were two bags of dried meat, a bag of compressed biscuits, and two bottles of lemon tea that Lian Ruling brought out from the gas station convenience store.She handed the food to the couple: "This is a gift in return, save it for when you are in trouble, at least it will last longer."

She hadn't planned to use the authority that the system said was open at level 1 to buy food (limited to three).But not only because of their favor, but also for You Xiaoxiao's sake, she will help as much as she can.

A bag of dried meat costs 20 points, while compressed biscuits only cost 5 points.Even so, Hao Jian spent more than half of the accumulated points, but she didn't feel any heartache.

"We have something to eat, you can keep it for yourself!" Father You and Mother Naturally didn't accept it.

Hao Jian returned the lunch box they gave her, and Father You saw that she was really stubborn, so he accepted it as an exchange of food.

Lian Runing ran to the driver's seat and smiled slightly: "I will drive instead, you can rest for a while."

Hao Jian didn't say much, before sitting down in the passenger seat, he said to the couple: "Uncle and Auntie, goodbye."

Watching the car drive away, the couple looked at each other in dismay: "Did you tell them my last name?"

Hao Jian put the lunch box on the dashboard in front, and rested with his eyes closed against the back of the chair.Lian Runing saw that she closed her eyes and didn't bother her, but unexpectedly she was dealing with the system.

"Isn't the host not going to use the convenience provided by the system?" The system was a little arrogant.

"Well, because I don't think it's necessary." She can find ways to search for food, but she uses the convenience provided by the system to exchange food, but she doesn't know if the system has set any traps.

"But you still use it."

Hao Jian decided to ignore it.There was a sudden exclamation in my ear, and the car stopped slowly.Hao Jian hurriedly opened his eyes and straightened up: "What's the matter?"

Lian Runing looked happy, and quickly took out her mobile phone to Hao Jian: "I thought of a way to find the way!"

"You mean a map? No internet."

Lian Runing took the phone back and clicked on the map: "I almost forgot, because I often go to remote places without internet, so I usually get the maps offline. I have maps of the entire province, and some old ones. Offline maps of cities visited!"

"But there's no navigation, right?"

When Lian Runing found that Hao Jian seemed to be out of his mind occasionally, she smiled, found a compass in her backpack, and handed the phone to Hao Jian: "I can only trouble you to compare the map and the compass. , show me the way."

This time, Hao Jian was stunned. Although she had a good sense of direction, she found it more tiring than driving if she focused on the map and compass.

Lian Runing blinked her eyes and looked at her expectantly. She looked at the object in her hand and sighed: "Let's drive..."
