Doomsday foresight

Jiang Chen was exhausted. He walked for a day and a night before, and he hadn't had a good rest since his last mission. Now that he got home, his mind was relaxed, and his body couldn't take it anymore. He slept on the kang after eating It was dark, and I fell asleep until the next morning.

Opening his eyes and feeling the warm temperature under his body, Jiang Chen didn't even want to wake up, but there was still something to do.

"Are you awake? I fell asleep this time." Jin Xi came in from the outside with a towel in his hand, and saw him open his eyes and hang the towel on the bamboo pole above the kang.

"You've lost a lot of weight. You're still dark." Jiang Chen looked at Jinxi. He was too tired yesterday, and the two of them didn't talk properly.

"It's okay, it's a lot stronger." Jinxi smiled and went out to bring a large pot of hot water, "Get up and wash your face, refresh your face, grandma is happy to see you come back and steamed a large pot of buns."

"It's been a long time since I tasted that flavor." Jiang Chen sat up, got off the ground without any clothes on.

"Put on something cold."

"It's okay, I'm cold, I wipe my body, I haven't showered for a long time."

Jin Xi didn't say anything, took a towel to help him wipe his back, and took a shower.

"Can your classmate and his brother be trusted?" Jiang Chen asked while wiping his hair.

Jinxi knelt on the kang and took out new clothes and trousers from the cabinet. Hearing his question, he turned his head and sat on the kang, "Well, they are all nice people. There is nothing wrong with their relationship in the past six months. Not to mention, we have been in the same dormitory for two years, and we have a very good relationship, and he is also very upright, so he won't have any bad intentions."

Jiang Chen threw the towel into the basin, took the clothes and trousers and put them on, "What about Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan?"

"The two of them didn't know each other before. They only got to know each other when they came here with Zhang Cheng. He's a nice person." Jin Xi thought about telling what Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan did here, including their revenge in the city. Thinking that Jiang Chen must have something to do or have some plans, so he said it in detail.

After hearing his description, Jiang Chen nodded. He had observed three people during the meal before. Zhang Cheng didn't say he didn't have much insight, that Zhang Zhong was more thoughtful, but he could tell that Zhang Zhong was a smart person, often smart People know how to choose.It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Zhong would choose to take revenge by himself, so it seems that the abilities of these two people are higher than he imagined.

Jiang Chen would not trust someone easily, but he has learned a lot in the past few years, so he is naturally not afraid of any problems with them.

"Grandpa, does our house still have a place to store things?" Jiang Chen asked Mr. Ye after dinner.

Grandpa Ye shook his head while holding the cigarette pouch, "The cellar is full and there is not much room left in the house." The sweet potatoes and potatoes take up space, even if they are dried, there are still a lot of sacks, not to mention there are still many that have not been dried. of.

Jiang Chen sat down, next to his grandfather and said, "I brought back a batch of supplies, and I have to find a place to store them."

As soon as Grandpa Ye regained his energy, he whispered, "Our house still has a secret cellar, which is half empty."

Jiang Chen smiled, didn't expect grandpa to do this, but thought of the things they brought, he shook his head, "I brought back a lot of things, the food only took up a small part, although the other things may not be needed now , I can’t tell in the future. When I came back, I went to several countries, and they were all messed up. Two small countries were wiped out directly, and the population was very small. This disaster will last for a long time, and the situation will even be worse in the future. " Jiang Chen said with some concern, he got some news from the outside, knowing that these disasters are just the beginning, no one knows what will happen in the future, so it is necessary to prepare now.

"It's best to find a safe place to put your things. You can't put them all at home, but they must be safe."

The old man bowed his head and thought for a while, "I know there is a cave in the forest to the north of us, and it's quite secretive there."

"Doesn't anyone know?" Jiang Chen felt that since grandpa knew, others would know too.

"Of course some people know that although there are fewer people going hunting in the mountains these years, there are still some who sometimes stay in the cave for a night if they can't go back. The reason why I say this is because there are still caves in the cave. I remember that When I was seven or eight years old, my father and I went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and we lived there. I wandered around in the cave with your fourth grandfather and found a small hole, not much bigger than a dog’s hole. The two of us barely climbed in. I remember that we climbed more than ten steps, and the inside was big, and there was a hole there, but there was no light and we were a little scared, so we climbed back along. Your grandfather beat us up because of this, and you Block the entrance of the cave with stones." The old man sighed.

"The hole is too small and only children can climb in. It was blocked and I went several times but didn't see the hole open. I think no one would know."

Jiang Chen felt that it was feasible, and he was not afraid of a small hole, so they tried to dig it open.

The old man sighed, "Your fourth grandfather was the only one who went in with me back then. He was younger than me at that time, and he was so scared. He was beaten up by your grandfather and fell ill when he got home. I can't remember it. Besides, he is now If I knew it, I wouldn’t talk to anyone, and there’s no one there.” After speaking, the old man rubbed his eyes.

Jinxi pushed him from behind Jiang Chen and glared at him. Jiang Chen's eyes were very innocent. He didn't know that Fourth Grandpa was gone. How could he know that Grandpa connected this matter with Fourth Grandpa and was still sad. Too innocent, okay?

The old man was only sad for a while, and then he recovered. Jiang Chen discussed with the old man again to see what he thought of Zhang Zhong and the others.

"It looks okay to me. He's not the kind of person who stabs a knife in the back. He's trustworthy." The old man spoke highly of the three of them.At his age, he is better at seeing people than Jinxi.He had thought about this at the beginning, and helping Zhang Cheng might mean relying on each other, so he has been observing, among other things, these three people are not the kind of narrow-minded and shallow-skinned people, if Jiang Chen wants to find Reliable people, the three of them are more suitable than cousins ​​​​in the village.

In fact, the old man has quite a few nephews and grandchildren, and most of the Ye family members are outspoken and loyal. There are many people who help the family, but the old man sees it farther than others. According to the scene in Jinxi's dream, the end of the world is really coming. Such a difficult time will last for a long time. For a long time, human nature will be tested at that time. He is willing to believe that those children are good children, but they all have their own families, and they have relatives with each other. Who doesn't have many bad relatives, just like Yingzi and her three Uncle, what is that, it will definitely be a disaster in the future.

If something happens, it will be too late, so their hole cards cannot let these people know that he can help relatives who can't survive, but he can't entrust their fate to them.On the contrary, the three of Zhang Cheng have nothing to worry about, and they rely on each other, which is reassuring.The most important thing is that he thinks Zhang Zhong and the others are not ambitious people, nor are their interests paramount. As long as the relationship with such people is good, they are not afraid of being stabbed in the back.

Jiang Chen also agrees with the old man's point of view, "The things are a little far away. It's on the side of Beiyudian. It's hard to get back. When I came back, I found the wrong way and took a long detour. It will take a day for us to go."

"The donkey at home can still be used. Take the sledge and go faster. Take the Northwest Road. I will show you the way."

"Grandpa, don't go now. Let's get our things back and go directly to the mountains in the north. We may not come back in a few days. You have to stay at home." Jiang Chen knew that it might be easier for them to have the old man lead the way, but they can't go home The adults are all gone, leaving the old and weak, don't worry.

The old man pondered for a while and nodded, "That's okay, I won't go, your second uncle also knows the way, this way is not afraid of running into people."

After the decision was made, the family made preparations. Jinxi went to find Zhang Zhong and the other three. Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan also mentioned Jiang Chen at night. Although it was only for a meal, they always felt that this person was unusual. With an evil spirit, it is obviously not a simple soldier as Jinxi said, he must have killed someone before.

The two of them had some evaluations of Jiang Chen's strength, but he felt that this was not a bad thing. They were very close to the Ye family, and they were considered allies in the village. Now that Jiang Chen's strength has increased, in case something happens, even Safety.So when Jinxi came to look for them, they agreed without even thinking about it.

Because of the long journey, they prepared a lot of things, mainly to keep warm. The sledge was covered with straw quilts. Jinxi also brought a clay stove to boil water for cooking.

The sledges were refurbished, and a feeder and supplies for the people sitting in front were added behind.

After eating at noon, we set off while the weather was warmer.

The second uncle knows the shortcut to Beiyudian, but it may be a long time since no one has walked on the road, and the snow on the road is slightly thicker.

At [-] o'clock in the evening they rested in a clearing in the forest. Seven of them pitched a tent. It was a military tent provided by Zhang Zhong. It was big enough for them to use together.

There is also a smaller tent for donkeys to live in. It is too cold and the north wind is blowing, so it is impossible to cover it up.

Several people took shovels and covered the snow on the edge of the tent, forming a snow wall to resist the north wind as much as possible.

Jinxi took out the clay stove, set it on fire, brought clean snow from the outside, melted it and boiled it, then put dried potatoes in the pot, and three boxes of canned braised beef from Zhang Zhong. Cook in the pot, wait for the dried potatoes to expand, and put the corn flour cakes cut into small pieces into the pot.After burning for a while, the pancakes are hot and soft, and can be eaten when they are not rotten.

Everyone can eat quite a lot, and each person directly filled a pot with beef flavor, potato flavor, and pancakes soaked in soup, and everyone didn't feel cold.

After dinner, everyone fixed the inflatable mattress. These things were provided by Zhang Zhong. Donggua is obviously a very discerning person, and all the things in his storage are useful. , but the heart is not on the right place.

Because the stove was on, the window next to the tent was opened a little, so I was afraid of being stuffy.Jiang Chen and Jin Xi slept under the same quilt, it was the kind of inflatable mattress for two people, the excuses were all ready-made, Jin Xi was afraid of the cold.

After getting into the double sleeping bag, Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid of the cold, even if he wore a lot of clothes, his hands and feet would still be cold.

The sleeping bag was not too small, and Jinxi's feet felt cold, so Jiang Chen clamped his feet between his legs, hugged him in his arms, and helped him to keep warm.

Jin Xi didn't feel that something was wrong, the two of them slept together since they were young, and the kang would get cold in the morning in winter, and most of the time he slept under Jiang Chen's bed.

"What." Jin Xi put his hand on Jiang Chen's waist to keep warm, but touched something hard.

Jiang Chen reached out to take the thing down and put it in Jinxi's hand.

Jin Xi's eyes widened, "It's so cool. This is a Beretta 92F pistol." The metal gun body feels cold to the touch.Just holding it has a murderous feeling.There is no man who is not interested in things.

"If you like it, I'll give you one." This one has a lot of recoil and is not suitable for Jinxi.

Jin Xi's eyes were shining with gold, but it's not appropriate to say this now. Give the gun to Jiang Chen, and he takes it and puts it under the pillow.Then hugged Jinxi.Pack the sleeping bag tightly.

The most important things brought back this time are weapons. For mercenaries, weapons are like a part of their body. If they don’t take weapons that day, they will feel insecure. After years of war, Jiang Chen can’t do without After learning about the outside world, Jiang Chen and Vic went to several places to collect supplies, the most important of which were weapons. In troubled times, only strong force can protect important people.

Early the next morning, Jinxi boiled the rice and put a lot of dried sweet potatoes in it. The charcoal fire was very hot, and it didn't take long for a pot of sweet potato porridge to be ready. Put the porridge aside, put the pan on, and scoop out the porridge from the pot. With a spoonful of oil that has solidified because of the cold weather, fry the pancakes and serve with pickles for a very sweet breakfast.

Continuing on the road, they didn't run into anyone during this journey. One is that the road itself is biased, and there are not many villages nearby.In the early years, there were some people who depended on the mountains for food, and they have all moved out these years. Jinxi and his village are considered very remote villages.

At noon, I came to Beiyudian. This place was originally a wetland. There are many large and small ponds, and there are a lot of fish in the ponds. Because it does not belong to any village, people nearby can come to fish, and finally named it North Yudian.But that's what my grandfather told him, because as early as 30 years ago, the pond in Beiyudian disappeared, forming a meadow.But the name remained.

When I came to Beiyudian, Jinxi saw a white world in front of the forest. Although there were not hundreds of ponds of different sizes like what my grandfather said, it was still a wetland, a gathering place for migratory birds, and a national protected area. In this way, otherwise, this large area will most likely become a paddy field.

Jiang Chen pointed to the road and came to the edge of a hill. The hill was surrounded by snow, but the meadow on one side was blown up by something, and the black ground leaked out, which was very conspicuous in the snow.

"Da Jiang, where is the thing you said?" Uncle Ye stopped the car and looked around but saw nothing.

Jiang Chen got out of the car, "That's it." He said and walked towards the hill, and then everyone saw him digging a few times with a shovel from the outside of the hill, and then miraculously revealed a door.

Before he could move, the door opened by itself, and a short man with brown hair and white skin came out, "Hey, why did you come back? I'm so overwhelmed." He was full of local dialect, if you don't look at the appearance but only listen to the voice , authentic locals.

"Da Jiang, what is this?" The second uncle opened his mouth wide and looked at the hill in front of him in surprise, no, this is not a hill, this is an airplane.

Except for Jin Xi who already knew the details, everyone else was surprised and couldn't keep their mouths shut.

"Hehe, I forgot to tell you, we flew back by plane." Jiang Chen looked at everyone with a smile.
