sunset escape

The rats in the trunk are still rattling.

Tian Man looked away suspiciously, scanned the surroundings, and stopped for a while longer in the direction of the rear of the car.

Xiang Jiayun recovered from the brief accident, and quickly said: "I heard it."

The woman withdrew her gaze, "What is that movement?"

He pointed the flashlight in the direction of the rear of the car, but it shone straight ahead.The tone was natural, as if he was blaming Tian Man for making a fuss, "There are mice in the field, don't you know?"

Tian Man murmured and repeated: "Rat?"

She glanced at the ridge of the field. She didn't know what was hidden in the dark field, which made people think about it.

Xiang Jiayun prayed in his heart that the little white mouse would calm down. While watching the woman's expression, he saw that she was still suspicious, but at least he didn't ask any more questions.Just before leaving, Tian Man said to him again: "It's been a day in the car, isn't it uncomfortable?"

His heart sank, but he still smiled on his face, "Please remember, it's not uncomfortable."

Xiang Jiayun was not very lucky.Just in time for the two days when the sun was shining brightly, I didn't dare to go out during the day, so I could only hide in the car.Over time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

After Tian Man left, Xiang Jiayun squeezed into the back seat and hit the seat with his fist.The little white mouse seemed to have received his threat, and immediately fell silent.

He was finally able to relax, and fell on his back, lying powerlessly on the seat to enjoy the long-lost peace.

The mice were noisy, and the people were noisy, and he actually missed the zombies a little bit.Zombies don't talk nonsense, they don't hide their thoughts, honestly, how cute.Except for being a little grumpy and having tricky recipes, he was much friendlier than these humans outside.

It's been like this since he was a kid, he seems to have a hard time fitting in with crowds.Except for Mr. He, no one else could get along well with him.

Xiang Jiayun turned his head and glanced out the window. He Chen's figure was blocked by the motorcade and hidden in the night.

Obviously sunshine meant danger to him, but he actually wanted the night to pass quickly so that Teacher He could get back in the car again.

It’s weird.

**

Xiang Jiayun slept intermittently that night.The little white mouse in the trunk made a fuss from time to time, and he was concerned about the safety outside the car.

It felt like half a century had passed when the car window was knocked suddenly.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and by the moonlight, he saw He Chen standing outside the car, with a look of tranquility soaked in the moonlight.

Xiang Jiayun calmed down instantly, stood up and opened the door for He Chen, and asked hoarsely, "What time is it?"

Some kind of warm metal was suddenly buckled on his wrist. He looked down and saw that Mr. He took off his watch and put it on for him.

He Chen's body temperature remained on the dial strap, which stuck to his pulse, making him stunned.

"To save you from asking all the time," He Chen said softly, "I gave it to you."

Xiang Jiayun was moved and lifted it up to have a look.He had just graduated two years ago, and when Mr. He's watch was worn on his hand, he looked like a child stealing an adult's clothes.

He sighed in a low voice: "Teacher He, I feel like I have instantly become a greasy middle-aged uncle."

In the darkness, he heard He Chen's cold voice, and his attitude changed drastically, "Xiang Jiayun, don't think that I won't beat you up because I'm chasing you."

He laughed dryly, got into the driver very consciously, and said flatteringly, "I'll drive, you go to rest first, look at the dark circles under your eyes, the zombies will recognize you as a panda."

Xiang Jiayun was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and was patted on the back of the neck, and then he heard footsteps going away and appearing on the right.Teacher He sat in the co-pilot and told him before closing his eyes: "Call me at dawn."

He glanced at his watch, and it was only five o'clock, so he agreed to let He Chen sleep peacefully.

Today's weather is worse than the previous two days.The morning glow covered most of the sky, and the sun was terribly red, and it felt unusually hot just after rising.

Xiang Jiayun pulled down his hood, ignored the pain on his body, and persisted for a while, but felt something was wrong in his heart.

The weather during this time is too abnormal.In April, there was continuous rain first, followed by sunny days that lasted for several days, and it is estimated that today's temperature can catch up with the midsummer of previous years.

But it was wrong and unreal.God has no eyes, and nature has no ears. Could it be possible that he also knew that the zombies had broken out and cooperated to create abnormalities?

The bright sunshine allowed He Chen to continue to sleep peacefully, and his first reaction when he woke up was to cover his eyes with his hands.On the side of the road, there are still fields one after another, which are full of vitality even if they have not been taken care of for many days.However, the patches of green leaves reflect the sunlight, making people feel hot and dry at first glance.

Xiang Jiayun's wrist was grabbed, and He Chen's voice sounded from the side just after waking up: "Stop, I'll replace you."

He was stubborn, "You are not awake yet, don't hit the two children's car."

He Chen raised his eyes and looked ahead, wondering if it was his illusion. Compared with yesterday, the speed of the convoy was slower today.He looked at the dial on the young man's wrist from a distance, and it was seven past five, which was completely inconsistent with the fiery red sun hanging in the sky.

"Who bumped into someone, you think about it." He Chen ruthlessly mentioned Xiang Jiayun's dark history.

But seeing that most of the young man's body was in the sun, he still endured the pain and didn't speak out, so he was so anxious that he didn't want to quarrel with the other party, "Stop the car quickly and hide behind."

Xiang Jiayun still hesitated, but turned his head and caught a glimpse of Teacher He's expression, which was cold and obviously about to get angry.He slammed on the brakes, brought the Jeep to a stop, and obediently climbed back into the back seat.

"Have you regained some strength?" Mr. He asked after taking his place in the driver's seat and starting the car.

Xiang Jiayun hid in the shadows, and originally wanted to say that it was okay, but suddenly he heard the movement from the trunk again, and his thoughts took a turn.

The source of my infection is this little white mouse, and it is reasonable to say that the symptoms should be similar to it.It is so manic, did I find the reason for my irritability in the past two days?

But on the bright side, the mouse is still alive and well, so his life should be long.

"Mr. He," he asked instead, "Have you ever fed that mouse?"

The front seat was silent for a while, it seemed that he had forgotten.

"Ms. He is such a noble person, he forgets things." Xiang Jiayun didn't miss the opportunity to laugh at He Chen, sat up and patted the other person's shoulder, "Stop the car, you go and get the mouse and feed it?"

He Chen looked back at him, "It bites you, but you still feed it?"

Even though he said that, he still stopped, got out of the car and went to the trunk to get him a little white mouse.

Xiang Jiayun thought back on He Chen's expression just now, and was very suspicious that the other party did not feed him on purpose, so that he could starve the little white mouse for a few meals and take revenge for the time being.

How come it's a little cute.

He Chen came back carrying the box with a hesitant expression. The transparent storage box let in sunlight, and the little white mouse inside screamed and ran away, bumping back and forth.As soon as the box was placed in the shadow, the movement of the mouse was much smaller.

Xiang Jiayun's guess was confirmed, and the symptoms of human and mouse were similar.

He looked up at Mr. He, and found that the other party was also staring at the storage box in thought, and quickly asked, "What did you think of?"

"No." He Chen raised his eyes, calm and speechless, "I'm just suppressing the thought of throwing it into Hou Zhicheng's car."

Very good, as expected of Mr. He, he will always be more ruthless than him.

They quickly caught up with the others, and the convoy drove peacefully all morning until after twelve o'clock, when the sun was hanging overhead, Zhuang Fan asked everyone to stop.

The heat waves on the road surged and transpired, almost turning into visible golden flames.The car was turned into an oven, and it was sweltering.

However, car air conditioners have become a luxury item in the apocalypse, and no one dares to open them at will when gasoline is limited.

Each car goes down one person to discuss things.He Chen got out of the car and came back not long after. When the car door was opened and closed, a lot of heat waves poured in.

"This weather is not suitable for traveling," He Chen sat in the driver's seat, turned his head and said to Xiang Jiayun, "Zhuang Fan said that there is a scenic spot ahead, and we will rest there in advance today."

Nod to Jiayun.He didn't want Teacher He to be too tired. After two days of driving, no matter how strong a person is, he should rest.

"Is that scenic spot far away?"

"It's not too far, we can get there before the sun goes down." The convoy continued to move forward, and He Chen also started the car.
