The Return of Cambrian Period

When Cong Xia woke up, remembering what happened last night, she hit her head on the pillow angrily.He really didn't expect to be able to do such a thing as pretending to be crazy by drinking, it's too embarrassing!

He finally struggled to get up.After breakfast, they went hunting with the Tang family.

Seven or eight young people, headed by Tang Yanqiu, were dressed in black military uniforms and rode on tall horses. They were heroic, neat and straight. Cong Xia seemed to have seen an ancient knight.

Cheng Tianbi and Liu Fengyu each rode a horse. Cheng Tianbi looked very skilled, but Liu Fengyu was not used to it.The horse beneath him was quite grumpy, breathing unhappily through its nose.

Tang Yanqiu frowned and said, "Don't move around, the horse will be disturbed."

Liu Fengyu said depressedly: "I'm still uneasy, riding a horse is not comfortable at all. It still doesn't listen to me. You see, it keeps wandering around." The horse didn't follow the right path, and there were dragons painted on the street. She was secretly laughing at him, making Liu Fengyu a little ashamed.

Tang Yanqiu retreated to his side: "Sit down here."

Liu Fengyu glared at him: "What's going on?" Changing horses on horseback?He doesn't have that skill.

Tang Yanqiu supported Liu Fengyu's thigh, leaped forward, and nimbly jumped onto Liu Fengyu's horse. His hands went around behind his back, grabbed the reins, and immediately stabilized the wobbling horse's head.

Liu Fengyu rolled his eyes at him: "I just said I don't want to ride this thing."

"You don't need to ride now, just sit quietly." Tang Yanqiu softly shouted "Drive", the horse walked obediently in a straight line, and a group of people entered the forest.

Liu Fengyu yawned: "I haven't slept enough yet, Zhuang Yao, that little bastard, he pulled me up but he disappeared."

"He's behind."

Liu Fengyu looked back and saw Abu carrying Zhuang Yao and Cong Xia coming over.

Cheng Tianbi saw Cong Xia lying on Abu's head at a glance, his expression was a little stiff, and he turned his face away.

"Hey, you put me down, I want to sit on Abu, riding a horse is too uncomfortable."

Tang Yanqiu was also a little angry at Liu Fengyu's dealings with the women of the Tang family, he said coldly: "Be honest, we're almost there."

Liu Fengyu curled his lips, leaned back, and leaned against him.

Tang Yanqiu was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Uncomfortable, who told you not to let me go down, my butt is about to bloom."

"Then you can't lean on me."

"I'm happy." It's more comfortable this way, Liu Fengyu has never been embarrassed to cause trouble for others.

Tang Yanqiu was very depressed, but he couldn't kick Liu Fengyu off the horse, so he could only bear it.

They soon arrived at the hunting place. The young men rode through the forest on horseback with bows and arrows on their backs, followed by hunting dogs.It is reminiscent of the hunting scenes of ancient princes and nobles.

Cong Xia lay on Abu's head, her eyes drifted to the back of Cheng Tianbi's head from time to time, and finally looked at him stupidly.

I don't know how long they watched, Cheng Tianbi suddenly turned his head, and the eyes of the two met, one pair was as calm as water, the other pair was panicked.Cong Xia was so nervous that she wanted to hide, but her feet slipped and she rolled to the side.The area on Abu's head was not that big. When he rolled like this, he rolled directly off Abu's head, and he was about to fall from a height of nearly eight meters.

Cheng Tianbi quickly formed a huge wind mass under Cong Xia's body, and his falling speed suddenly slowed down a lot.Abu reacted very quickly, as soon as he scooped up his claws, he supported Cong Xia.

Cong Xia hugged Abu's paw, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Abu put the vulnerable host on the ground.

Zhuang Yao said disdainfully, "You're so stupid."

Cheng Tianbi rode over and stretched out his hand: "Come up."

Cong Xia looked at Cheng Tianbi in embarrassment.

Cheng Tianbi urged: "Come up."

Cong Xia took his hand and pulled him onto the horse with all his strength.Cong Xia sat behind him, hesitated for a long time, and grabbed his clothes.

Cheng Tianbi grabbed the reins in one hand and shotgun in the other, and followed the Tang family in pursuit of their prey.

This forest is really rich in products, and mutant animals can be seen everywhere.While they were hunting, Cong Xia absorbed energy.

The two of them hardly spoke, Cong Xia just sat quietly behind Cheng Tianbi, when the horse ran, he hugged Cheng Tianbi's waist unconsciously, but the other side did not respond.

Cong Xia thought, yesterday's embarrassment has passed, it should be all right, let's just pretend nothing happened...

During the few days at the Tang family, they ate well and drank well three meals a day, and they were all full of energy, even Abu was in a circle.

Cong Xia completely healed Cheng Tianbi's injuries with the energy he had cultivated and absorbed.Their team has returned to the first level of combat and is ready to embark on the journey.

Tang Yanqiu also knew that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, but he was always reluctant to leave.In fact, the Tang Sect didn't need him to worry about it at all, they were self-sufficient in food and clothing, and could support more than 200 families in the town.There are more than 100 people in the Tang Sect, and there are ten mutants alone, which is a very high probability.Even if they didn't mutate, they all had outstanding martial arts skills. Judging from the current situation, there was almost nothing that could threaten them.

Tang Yanqiu knew that it was time to leave.

The night before they knew they were going to leave, it was Tang Yanqiu's younger sister who cried the most, and it was mainly because of Liu Fengyu.Tang Yanqiu was so angry that he looked at Liu Fengyu with a bad face.

The night before leaving, the Tang family held another banquet and served another jar of good wine.

When the wine was poured to Cong Xia, Cheng Tianbi waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "He doesn't drink."

Cong Xia was so embarrassed that she only dared to peek at Cheng Tianbi from the corner of her eye.

Liu Fengyu teased: "Xiao Xia drank too much that day, did she go crazy with alcohol?"

Cong Xia winked at him, it was true that which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted.

Liu Fengyu acted as if he didn't see it: "What did Xiao Xia do? You sent him back to the room that day, right? Did he vomit on you, or was he just talking nonsense? Could it be that he took advantage of you by being drunk?"

Cheng Tianbi gave him a cold look, picked up his glass and took a sip of wine.

Cong Xia stared at him, trying to wink at him.

The thief Liu Fengyu smiled: "You two, it's so much fun. But recently I found that Tang Daxia is more fun than you." Recently, he has been keen on teasing Tang Yanqiu. Taking advantage of his own advantages, he asked the women of the Tang family about the Shao Tang Yanqiu used to taunt Tang Yanqiu's embarrassing things when he was a child, often making Tang Yanqiu blush with anger.

Cong Xia shook his head helplessly, as long as they didn't fight, he felt relieved.

Tang Yanqiu's parents gave them a lot of advice during the dinner. Seeing Mrs. Tang's reluctance, Cong Xia felt a little guilty for forcing Tang Yanqiu on the road.But Zhuang Yao obviously didn't think so, and took the opportunity to ask the Tang family for a lot of good things.

Early the next morning, they packed up and set off.Because the road hog was full of things, except for those who took turns to drive, everyone else sat on Abu and set off on the road under the eyes of everyone.

The next stop is Xi'an, about 800 kilometers away.At their speed, it would take half a month to arrive.

Counting the days, seven months have passed since the earthquake occurred.He and Cheng Tianbi decided to go to Beijing from the second day after the earthquake, but they never thought that half a year later, they were still on the road, and they encountered countless dangers along the way. It was not easy to survive, and the most difficult thing was, They never gave up their original goal.

The terrain of the Emei Mountains is complex. Although they have a compass and a map, due to the overgrowth of vegetation, the terrain has changed too much.They were walking, and although the general direction was correct, they had completely deviated from the planned route.

During dinner at night, Zhuang Yao held up a flashlight to study the map, and his expression was very bad.

Cong Xia comforted him and said, "As long as the general direction is right, we will definitely be able to go to Beijing."

Zhuang Yao said depressedly: "After deviating from the planned route, the fuel consumption will exceed my calculation, and this is the most troublesome." Insufficient fuel means abandoning the car. They have stored so many precious materials in Chongqing and Tangmen. To give up is simply more painful than cutting flesh.

Tang Yanqiu said: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhuang Yao gritted his teeth and said, "I will find a way to return to the planned route."

Liu Fengyu wrapped his coat tightly: "It's so cold at night!" He huddled into Abu's arms, wishing he could wrap himself in Abu's hair.

Tang Yanqiu looked at the stars in the sky: "I don't know how many people can't survive this winter!" The sudden drop in temperature in summer has already killed people in groups. If the temperature drops in winter, I don't know how low the temperature can be. To what extent?

Cong Xia served a bowl of ginger chicken soup: "Brother Liu, drink some hot soup to drive away the cold."

Liu Fengyu took the soup bowl, took a sip, and sighed comfortably.

In the cold winter forest, around the fire, leaning against Abu, drinking this bowl of fragrant chicken soup to keep warm.Taking advantage of the warmth in their stomachs, sleeping in Abu's arms, this experience will never be forgotten in their lives.

After breakfast, they continued on their way.

After walking for a long time, they found a small stream, which happened to be insufficient for the car.They got out of the car to fetch water, purified it with water purification tablets, and poured it into buckets.

Zhuang Yao walked around the stream for a long time. This is a bottomless stream. There is no danger. Occasionally, fish swim by, because the water is shallow and the size is not big.

Cong Xia asked: "What are you doing?"

Zhuang Yao asked, "Can you catch fish?" After he finished asking, he said, "Forget it, you definitely can't." He walked up to Tang Yanqiu, "Can you catch some fish for Abu? I haven't eaten since yesterday."

"Okay, I'll try."

Tang Yanqiu broke off two branches from the woods and sharpened their heads with a knife.He and Cheng Tianbi took one each, took off their shoes and entered the creek, looking for fish.

Abu squatted beside him quietly, his amethyst-like pupils turning expectantly.With its huge size, it is impossible to fish in such shallow water, so it can only sit on the bank and worry.

The river was very wet, and Cong Xia and Liu Fengyu sat on Abu's paws, one on the left and the other on the right. Cong Xia sighed, "It's not enough to catch such a small fish!"

Zhuang Yao looked at the river without looking back: "One point is one point, hey, here is one, come quickly."

Tang Yanqiu ran over on the rocks and saw a fat grass carp. The branch in his hand flew out and pierced the fish. Looking at the fish still flopping on the branch, he said happily: "This one weighs at least five or six catties."

Abu couldn't sit still, and ran over quickly.

Cong Xia and Liu Fengyu were led somersault by it, and they all fell to the ground.

Liu Fengyu said angrily: "Broken cat!"

Tang Yanqiu threw the fish to the shore, Abu lowered his head, licked his tongue, and the fat fish went into its mouth without even spit out a thorn.For such a small fish, it is almost like candy.

Cheng Tianbi also caught a big one, and threw it towards Abu from the air.As soon as Abu turned his head, he opened his mouth and swallowed the fish.

Zhuang Yao shouted happily: "Get some more."

Cheng Tianbi said: "It's almost done, we can't delay too long."

Tang Yanqiu looked at the time: "Find two more, and then we'll go."

Cong Xia took a deep breath and stretched her arms and legs. It was rare that the weather was so good, so it was time to relax.

While they were busy with their own work, suddenly, there was a strange creaking sound in the forest, and waves of energy waves were approaching.The few people were startled, and when they looked back, a group of big monkeys appeared in the woods at some point, wandering among the branches, and ran towards them quickly.

Both Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu dropped the branches and ran back, but they were a little far away from the shore at this time...

Abu turned his head, hissed angrily, and rushed towards the group of monkeys.

Zhuang Yao and Cong Xia were so frightened that they could only back away desperately, and Liu Fengyu hurriedly stood in front of them.

The target of the group of monkeys was not them, but Roadhog.Several big monkeys all jumped onto the roof of the car, tearing the food tied to the car with their sharp claws.

"He actually stole it!"

Abu had already run to the front of the car. Several monkeys rushed towards Abu and jumped in front of him.Abu slapped them with his paw, and several monkeys stretched out their paws to scratch them.

Abu slapped them on the ground, and his front paws were also scratched with bloodstains.

The largest monkey hissed, and the two fallen monkeys quickly got up and ran back.

By the time Tang Yanqiu grabbed his bow and arrow and Cheng Tianbi ran to his attack range, the monkeys had already grabbed their big bag of food and ran into the forest.Tang Yanqiu raised an arrow and shot. The group of monkeys moved very flexibly and the distance was far away. The arrow hit a monkey in the waist. The monkey fell to the ground howling, but struggled to get up again and escaped. .

Everyone was furious.

Cong Xia said: "Quickly check and check what is missing."

He and Cheng Tianbi climbed into the car and found that they were missing a package of more than 20 catties of food, which was their rations for half a month, which was not a small loss.

Cheng Tianbi looked towards the forest, not far away was the blood left by the injured monkey.

Cong Xia looked at everyone: "What should I do? Chase or not?"

Zhuang Yao grabbed Abu's tail and jumped onto it: "Cong Xia, fix Abu's claws, and stay with Cheng Tianbi to watch the car. I, Tang Yanqiu and Liu Fengyu will chase after it."

Abu's injury was on the meat pad, a minor injury, but it would affect his running, and Cong Xia quickly recovered.

Cheng Tianbi and Cong Xia sorted out the messy food caught by the monkeys. Some of the food's vacuum packaging was scratched, and the food had to be eaten today, or it would be wasted.

Cong Xia felt distressed, and moved all the food to the car: "The monkeys are too ghostly, they will run to the food when they come."

Cheng Tianbi said: "They are not like wild monkeys, they are too disciplined, and their actions seem to be planned. Originally, they are not worth chasing. I think Zhuang Yao has other ideas."

"I also think that if you take something and run away, is it domesticated?"

Cheng Tianbi shook his head: "Monkeys are not like dogs, they are not so easy to domesticate. We will know when they come back."

The two built a fire and started cooking.They generally do not eat at noon, one is to save time, and the other is to save food.However, not eating does not mean not hungry, Cong Xia was drooling while cooking the sliced ​​meat.

Sitting next to him, Cheng Tianbi said, "I've been thinking about a problem for the past two days."

"what is the problem?"

Cheng Tianbi's eyes are as deep as the sea, as if they contain endless thoughts: "Balance."

Cong Xia muttered these two words: "Balance..."

"If the Cambrian consciousness really exists, what kind of balance does the earth want to achieve? Is the balance achieved by destroying all human beings? If this is the case, why do humans have to evolve? If humans do not evolve, sooner or later they will be destroyed by other powerful creatures. Elimination, but humans have evolved, and as far as it is concerned, although the number of humans evolved is small, the evolved humans are stronger than many evolved animals and plants, and it is impossible for humans to completely perish. So what exactly does the balance want to achieve? "

Cong Xia said solemnly: "You are right. Perhaps, we have misunderstood the way the Cambrian consciousness checks and balances? The existence of ancient jade makes me even more puzzled. The ancient jade seems to be on the side of human beings. It is related to the Cambrian consciousness, Puppet jade, what does it matter?"

All day long, he was thoughtful.

Cong Xia said again: "Tell me, can the Cambrian consciousness think? Can it think like a human?"

Cheng Tianbi shook his head: "I don't know."

"From the current point of view, it should be impossible. If the Cambrian consciousness can do everything and can think, then if you want to wipe out all human beings, the environment must be several times worse than it is now."

"Not necessarily. The theory mentioned by Zhuang Yao only studies that the Cambrian consciousness is a kind of balanced consciousness, but no one knows what kind of balance the earth wants. Maybe what the Cambrian consciousness is doing now is to achieve the balance it thinks .”

Cong Xia said: "Then, maybe the fate of human beings is not to be completely destroyed, but to be weakened?"

Cheng Tianbi was silent for a while: "Even if human beings are weakened now, as long as the wisdom is still there, they will rise again in a hundred years. This natural selection will leave humans suitable for survival. This part of human beings will be more tenacious. Dominance is only a matter of time."

"It seems that it does not give humans a way to survive, but allows a small number of humans to evolve..." Cong Xia sighed, "I really can't figure out what the Cambrian consciousness is going to do." Sprinkle pepper and chilli powder on top, hand it to Cheng Tianbi, "Come, let's eat."

Cheng Tianbi took the steamed buns and started to eat them with sliced ​​boiled meat.

Cong Xia took a bite of the crispy baked buns, and immediately felt better.

If you can't figure it out for the time being, just forget about it, the most important thing is the delicious food in your mouth.Even in such a difficult environment, with such scarce ingredients and seasonings, Cong Xia still made all kinds of delicious things in different ways, because he knew that every meal should be cherished, no one knows if he still has Next meal.

Half an hour later, Abu ran out of the forest.

Cong Xia shouted: "Come and eat!"

Several people slipped off Abu, Zhuang Yao laughed and said: "The group of monkeys really belonged to them. We found a tourist area where there were monkey performances. This trip was not small. We finally found someone and I can determine my position."

"Great, are there many people there?"

"I don't know, we didn't go in, we just remembered the way." Zhuang Yao said, "We will go to that tourist area after dinner. If they can provide useful information, those things will be given to them."

A few people sat down to feast, and rolled a pot full of boiled pork slices into their stomachs.

After eating, they went to the sightseeing area.

The surrounding trees became noticeably thinner, a corner of a human building was looming in the distance, and the old street signs on the side of the road indicated that there was a certain tourist area ahead.

Cheng Tianbi suddenly said: "Wait, stop."

Liu Fengyu stopped the car.

Cheng Tianbi jumped out of the car, groped for something five or six meters in front of the car, and observed the direction of the surrounding plants.He stuck the saber on the ground and said, "Reverse."

Not knowing why, Liu Fengyu fell backwards, and Abu followed suit.

Cheng Tianbi said: "Yanqiu, stick to the top of the dagger and shoot an arrow."

"Okay." Tang Yanqiu drew his bow and shot without asking why.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound in the air, as if something tense snapped instantly, the surrounding trees trembled violently, and a row of bamboo thorns rose from the ground, rushing towards the place where they parked just now.

Zhuang Yao blinked: "Fortunately, I didn't go forward just now."

Cheng Tianbi said: "There are many traps here. I will explore the way ahead, and you will follow behind." He has rich experience in jungle warfare, and he often lays various simple traps. It is not difficult to do, but it is very lethal.Therefore, he is very alert to all kinds of traps in the jungle. Once he finds that the direction of trees is abnormal, or there is a special smell of broken roots in the air, he can sensitively catch danger.

Everyone raised their vigilance and moved forward slowly.

Cheng Tianbi saw through all five traps planted on this road one by one, relying on Tang Yanqiu's long-range attack ability, broke them all, and entered the sightseeing area safely.

At this time, a group of people rushed over with various weapons such as knives and guns, followed by several monkeys, the young woman leading the charge was pretty but fierce, and pointed her gun at Cheng Tianbi: "Who are you? Who let you in? Hurry up! Otherwise we will be rude."

Tang Yanqiu drew his bow and aimed at them.

Cheng Tian said coldly: "Your monkeys robbed us of our food."

The woman snorted: "I don't care, I deserve to be robbed. Seeing that you are not short of food, we have a lot of people here, what can we do if we share some, and we have to leave money to buy the road!"

Cheng Tianbi stared at her coldly: "We are here to get our things back."

The woman bit her lip, hesitated.Not only did this group of people bring such a big cat, but they also easily destroyed the traps they worked so hard to set up. If they really wanted to fight, they would definitely not get it right, but they were really unwilling to send back the food they got for nothing.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhuang Yao said: "We passed by here and lost our way. If you can provide some useful help, those things will be regarded as your reward."

Women don't trust them very much: "What do you want to know? We never left here after the earthquake, so we don't know anything."

"You guys are more familiar with this area than we are, don't you have a map or something?"

The woman hesitated for a moment: "Yes."

"We want a map of the nearby scenic spots, and we want to go to Xi'an from here."

The woman looked at her companions and discussed with them with her eyes.

Cong Xia said: "Miss, if we want to attack you, we won't talk so much nonsense, we really want to cooperate."

She hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the gun: "You better not play tricks, the people and monkeys here are not easy to mess with."

Cong Xia showed a friendly smile: "Don't worry, we will keep our promise."

They opened the gate of the ticket office, and the woman introduced herself: "My name is Ming Lan. I used to be the tour guide here. This is my husband. He was the animal trainer here. Those monkeys listened to him." She pointed The silent man next to him.

Cong Xia said: "These monkeys are really well-trained, and they are still so obedient after being mutated."

Minglan smiled triumphantly: "We raised them from childhood."

The animal trainer snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Cong Xia suddenly remembered that Tang Yanqiu had shot a monkey in the butt, but the monkeys grabbed their things first, so it's not their fault that they fought back.

Ming Lan said: "Most of the people here are the staff of the tourist area, and some tourists who came that day are all stuck here. You are going to Xi'an, we can't help you, but we will take you to find a place to go to Chengdu." Highway, should be fine."

"It's enough to find the highway."

Walking into the sightseeing park, there are clothes hanging outside several dilapidated offices. It seems that this is where they live.Some people looked at Abu and Roadhog curiously and fearfully, and when they approached, those people all backed away.It seemed that their life was worse than that of the people in the industrial park, all of them were sallow and emaciated.

Zhuang Yao asked, "How many people are there?"

"There are more than 60 left." Ming Lan's eyes were very sad. "After the earthquake, the traffic was paralyzed and everyone was trapped. Later, some people left one after another, but most of them died in the forest. these people."

"How many mutants are there?" Cong Xia asked, he could feel the energy of Minglan.

Ming Lan wondered: "Mutated people? You mean people who have suddenly become very strong? It's just me and another veteran. If there are more people like us, the probability of successful hunting will be higher."

No wonder their situation is so bad, if there were no these monkeys to guard the house, they would have been devoured to the bone by the mutant creatures that raided.

Minglan herself also understood: "The rest of us can still have food, thanks to these monkeys. By the way, do you want gasoline?"

Zhuang Yao's eyes lit up: "Do you have gasoline?"

Minglan glanced at him shrewdly: "Don't you guys have cars? You must need gasoline. We have some, although not many."

"How many do you have?"

"Thirty to forty liters, if you want, you can exchange it with food."

Cong Xia said: "The stuff in our car is for storage and packing, so we can't give it to you, but we can hunt some large animals."

Ming Lan rolled her eyes: "Okay, one liter of gasoline can be exchanged for ten catties of meat."

Cong Xia was surprised and said: "If you want so much, you can't finish it!"

"We have an underground cold cellar, which is pure natural. It used to be used to store wine. It is not a problem to store three or four hundred catties of meat. And we can marinate the meat into bacon, which is better for storage. You don't have to worry about how we save."

It is not difficult for them to hunt some large animals, but it is a pleasant surprise to find gasoline on the way.

Minglan brought them into a resort, and there were still some people sitting in the hotel lobby.The expensive leather sofas were covered with green moss, and the once stylish hotel is now dilapidated.

Minglan introduced them, and a thin old man said, "I have lived here for more than 30 years. I am familiar with this generation. If you want to go to the highway, no problem, I can find it."

"How far is it from here? Can you take us there?"

The old man waved his hands again and again: "If I go, I can't come back. It's only [-] kilometers. I'll draw a route map for you. It's not hard to find."

Cheng Tianbi said: "If you take us there, we can give you two extra guns and some bullets."

These people were very moved, but no one spoke, and finally the old man said: "It's not that we don't want to go, it's because we dare not, there are big black bears and big wild boars in the forest, everything will kill us!"

Ming Lan gritted her teeth: "I'll take you there."

"Minglan! I don't agree!" her husband shouted.

Ming Lan said: "Our shotguns are about to run out of bullets. We rely on traps to hunt, and we may not be able to catch a single one in ten days and half a month. Are we going to starve to death?"

"Don't we still have monkeys? We can always find something to eat. Anyway, I can't let you take risks."

"I just take the monkeys with me. They can protect me. It's only 20 kilometers away. I can definitely come back."

The two had a dispute.Others in the tourist area shook their heads and sighed, not knowing how to persuade them.

Cong Xia hurriedly said: "Let's find it by ourselves. We can guarantee your safety when we go, and you will be alone when you come back. Thinking about it, it's really too dangerous, so let's forget it."

Ming Lan said stubbornly: "No, I'll take you there!"

In the end her husband was so angry that he shook his hands and left. Minglan lowered her head and sighed heavily.

Tang Yanqiu said: "We have some medicine powder to repel animals. When you come back, you sprinkle it on your body. Most animals don't want to get close to it. With these monkeys protecting you, it should be fine."

While studying the map, Zhuang Yao said: "No matter how bad it is, you are a power evolution person. If you concentrate your strength on your leg muscles, you can run very fast."

Ming Lan nodded: "I have my own sense of proportion, but you need to give me more guns and bullets."

Cong Xia couldn't refuse this strong and kind woman, anyway, they didn't lack weapons and bullets, so they agreed.

After everyone agreed, they planned to rest here for a day and hunt some animals for them in exchange for gasoline.

Cheng Tianbi, Liu Fengyu and Zhuang Yao stayed behind to guard Luba, while the others set off with people from the tourist area.

In order to be able to drag the large mutant animals back, they made a large pick-up cart.Abu was in charge of finding the prey. Tang Yanqiu hunted and Cong Xia absorbed the energy. They worked together and hunted a big wild boar and three big pheasants in one afternoon, which already weighed more than four hundred catties.

When they dragged these prey back, everyone seethed.

All the people in the sightseeing area took action, some cut meat, some cured meat, and some packed and refrigerated.

Minglan also gave them gasoline as agreed.

Cong Xia looked at it and said, "Your... it's only twenty liters at most."

Minglan smiled and said, "I can't remember too much, that's all, I'll give it all to you."

Cong Xia shook his head helplessly, and poured oil into Luba.

Liu Fengyu leaned on the car and complained: "This woman is really smart."

Cong Xia smiled and said, "It's not easy for her."

"However, it's nice to be able to sleep in the room tonight." Liu Fengyu stretched.

Ming Lan asked them to eat, and warmly brought them a large bowl of meat.After the meal, a clean room was prepared for them.Cheng Tianbi and Cong Xia naturally slept in the same room again.

Since the embarrassing incident of getting drunk last time, they hardly get along alone. Looking at the bed in the hotel suite at this time, Cong Xia felt a little embarrassed.

Cheng Tianbi behaved as usual, took off his clothes and went to bed.

Cong Xia tidied it up, fiddled with it, and dawdled by the bed for a long time.

Finally, Cheng Tianbi got annoyed, and ordered: "Hurry up and go to sleep."

Cong Xia climbed onto the bed and whispered, "Are you still asleep?"

"How can I sleep when you are so noisy."

"Noisy, noisy? I'll tidy up something." Cong Xia lay beside her, covered with a quilt, keeping a certain distance from Cheng Tianbi.

Cheng Tianbi saw through his awkwardness at a glance, lifted the quilt and covered him: "Go to bed early."

Cong Xia took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and felt the smell of the sky wall all around her. It was great to be able to lie in a bed.

"Cong Xia." Cheng Tianbi's hoarse voice rang in his ears.

Cong Xia suddenly opened his eyes, turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"After arriving in Beijing, if we are all alive, as you said, let's find a place to grow vegetables and hunt."

Cong Xia imagined the comfortable and peaceful life, and couldn't help smiling: "Okay."

"I'm going to finish my mission first, then we won't have to run around anymore, be self-sufficient, enough to live on."

Cong Xia showed a shallow smile, soft hair draped over his face, bright and gentle eyes, which looked extraordinarily good-looking under the dim moonlight, his voice trembling: "Yes, self-sufficient." Taking risks, he just wants to live a peaceful and safe life.

The next day, they set off with Ming Lan.Minglan's husband handed the four monkeys to her and told her to go and come back quickly.

The monkeys and Abu hated each other, and when Abu saw them, he screamed and the monkeys grinned.They had no choice but to use road hogs to separate Abu from the monkeys and walk on one side before they stopped.

Minglan pointed to the map: "After I send you to the highway, you should go north along the highway, and you should be able to reach Chengdu today." Minglan sighed, "We have always wanted to go to Chengdu, but unfortunately we dare not, This road is too dangerous, I hope you can arrive safely."

Zhuang Yao said: "It's different from the route we set, but it's good to go to Chengdu to have a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

After walking for two hours, they finally reached the highway. Although the entire highway had been completely covered by forests, they could still tell that it was once a road based on the roadbed and gravel under their feet.This is also a major basis for them to identify the direction in this era when the communication system is completely paralyzed.

Tang Yanqiu took out a pack of medicinal powder from the car, and both Monkey and Abu backed away in disgust.

Ming Lan stared at the powder, with longing in her eyes.

Tang Yanqiu gave him all the bags: "Take it, it should be useful at critical moments."

Minglan quickly picked it up and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help. Since the earthquake, we haven't seen any outsiders for such a long time. Good people are really lucky.
