The doctor said I can only eat soft rice

Chi Ruanfan and Jinzhu left City Y and headed south.

There are many zombies in the city, and there are many mutant animals and plants outside the city.

After a few days, the number of D-grade crystal nuclei they collected surged, enough for Jin Zhu to eat as a snack.

The only thing that remains the same is that the C-grade crystal nucleus has not been hunted for a long time.

As the sun rose higher and higher, Chi Ruanfan, who was sitting in the car, yawned and took out a map to look at.

Having been with Jinzhu for a long time, Chi Ruanfan has developed the habit of staying at night and going out at night.

The few hours when the sun is the strongest at noon every day is his sleep time.

Now, bedtime is approaching, and the first target location he circled is approaching.

"Go straight along the mountain road, there is a village there, you can borrow it."

Chi Ruanfan recalled the experience of borrowing in the previous life, put away the map, rubbed the dazed Jinzhu's head beside him, and said:

"In the mountain of that village, there should be the target we are looking for."

"roar~"

Jin Zhu kept quiet in the car, and Chi Ruanfan's rubbing his head seemed to give him a signal that he could get close, his body immediately turned black and fogged, floated onto Chi Ruanfan's body and solidified, and began to rub against him.

Chi Ruanfan thought that the village was not far away, so he was reluctant to push Jinzhu back and fasten his seat belt.

He lowered Jin Zhu's head, started the off-road vehicle like this, and drove the car up the winding mountain road in the posture that he would definitely be issued a ticket before the end of the world.

Soon, roadblocks piled up with cement bags and wooden railings appeared in Chi Ruanfan's vision.

He stopped the car, looked up at the village behind the roadblock, and the mountains surrounding the village, and matched them with the memories of his previous life.

The whole village is located in a basin terrain, which looks like a big drop of water at first glance, surrounded by mountains, and there is only a road at the tip of the drop into the village.

Block that road, and the village is isolated from the world.

It is precisely because of this terrain that the people in the village can continue to live almost the same as before after the end of the world.

Not long after the car stopped, Chi Ruanfan heard villagers shouting.

They communicated in an incomprehensible dialect, and people from every house came out, holding long sticks or shovels, and came towards this side together.

Chi Ruanfan asked Jin Zhu to sit back in the co-pilot.

She took the sunglasses at the side and put it on Jin Zhu, raised her index finger to her lips, and gestured for him to shut up.

After getting along for so long, Jin Zhu understood the meaning of most of Chi Ruanfan's gestures, and soon calmed down.

At this time, the team composed of the young and strong in the village also arrived behind the roadblock.

They exchanged, and after a while, a middle-aged man with reddish-brown skin in dark gray clothes said loudly:

"There is no way ahead, you go back."

Of course Chi Ruanfan would not just leave like this, he lowered the car window and said:

"We want to borrow a day and be able to exchange salt."

As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate commotion among the villagers.

In such a village that is almost isolated from the world, these villagers can be self-sufficient in rice, vegetables and meat, but they cannot produce salt.

It is still the first month of the end of the world, and each household still has salt leftovers, and after that, they have to venture to the town to find salt.

The villagers quickly discussed the result, and the previous voice continued:

"Each of you can enter the village with a bag of salt."

"Yes." Chi Ruanfan is fine.

In the city, survivors always collect biscuits and other fast foods first. Things like salt are not taken by anyone.

Almost every supermarket shelf is more than half full of salt.

Chi Ruanfan expected to carry out this transaction, and to use the hunted and mutated animals to make barbecue would need seasoning, so he collected a lot of salt.

The man asked again: "Among you, none of you were scratched and bitten by zombies, right?"

"Of course not," Chi Ruanfan said without blushing without panting, "If someone is bitten, we will never be together."

Jin Zhu was scratched by zombies, but Jin Zhu is not a "human".

Besides, after being promoted to C level, Jin Zhu not only changed the condition of her skin, but also repaired the injury on her arm, which no longer exists.

It might be that Chi Ruanfan's eyes were so sincere that they believed his words.

It may also be that the villagers didn't care and didn't check at all, so the villagers moved the roadblock and let Chi Ruanfan drive in.

The villagers really don't care.

They are numerous and powerful, and all of them are quick-witted and often work. The farm tools in their hands are considered weapons. Even if there are infected people among the outsiders in the car, they can deal with them.

The village chief took Chi Ruanfan and the two to his home, and Chi Ruanfan also took out two packs of salt.

The village chief took the salt with a little joy on his face.

He handed the salt to the villagers behind him, and asked with a smile whether they needed one room or two rooms. After getting the answer, he asked his son to lead the two to the room.

Chi Ruanfan dragged Jin Zhu into the house.

The villagers didn't pay much attention to the man who was wearing sunglasses and kept silent. They discussed how to divide the salt when they were sleepy.

Most of the houses in the village are two-storey single-family buildings, and the room assigned to Chi Ruanfan is on the second floor, with a small balcony outside.

It's just that the room is empty, with only one bed.

A bed is enough.

"We've been driving for a day, and we're very sleepy. Let's go to bed first." Chi Ruanfan said to the villagers who brought them up.

The villagers expressed their understanding, glanced at the hands that the two had been holding all the time, and helped close the door before leaving.

Chi Ruanfan took off the sunglasses on Jin Zhu's face, kissed his face, and praised:

"Bamboo is awesome and has been silent."

Jin Zhu seemed to know that he was not allowed to speak out for the sake of those humans downstairs.

He hugged Chi Ruanfan and rubbed gently, and let out a low growl that only the two of them could hear.

After Chi Ruanfan got close to Jinzhu for a while, he habitually condensed the water mirror and carried the supplies in the box into the room.

The two had a simple meal, and then Chi Ruanfan used the water system ability to wash the bed once, and then washed himself and Jinzhu again.

Chi Ruanfan took Jinzhu to bed.

He took out his useless mobile phone, set an alarm clock, handed it to Jin Zhu, and said:

"I'll wake up when it rings. When the time comes, let's go find that mutated white tiger together."

He needs to regain his energy and adjust to the best condition before he can go to the white tiger that may reach C-level.

"Roar."

Jin Zhu holds the phone in his hand, staring at the countdown timer on it solemnly.

It was not the first time that Chi Ruanfan gave Jinzhu a cell phone. At first Jinzhu didn't know what he meant, but after more times, he understood.

When the number reaches zero and the alarm clock rings, Chi Ruanfan will open his eyes, and then he can hug and kiss.

Jin Zhu looked at the items in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Chi Ruan Fan, and the cycle continued.

From the beginning to the end, he only moved his eyes, his body didn't move a bit, and he didn't make any sound.

The voice downstairs became louder and louder, Jin Zhu blinked, and the black mist surged up, covering the whole bed.

In the dark, only the phone screen glows.

"Ow—woo—"

The roar of the tiger came from the forest, shocking the entire village.

The black mist cut off the sound, and Chi Ruanfan fell into a deep sleep.

Jin Zhu looked away from the luminous screen, took a careful look at Chi Ruan Fan, saw that he hadn't been woken up, and then relaxed.

Jin Zhu gently put down the phone, his body turned into black mist, and quietly left the room, avoiding the sight of humans, and headed towards the direction of the roaring tiger.

four hours later.

As the alarm clock rang, Chi Ruanfan reached for his phone and turned off the alarm clock.

He opened his eyes, only to find that his surroundings were completely dark.

"Is it dark now? Why can't I see anything?"

Chi Ruanfan just woke up, still a little confused.

Surrounded by the breath of Jinzhu, he felt very safe, so he let himself fall into a daze.

He lowered his eyes and checked the time on his phone.

15 o'clock……

Chi Ruanfan gradually opened his eyes wide.

If it was dark, with his enhanced five senses, it was impossible to see nothing.

It wasn't the night that shrouded him in darkness, but the black mist of brocade bamboo.

But Jinzhu was not by his side.

Chi Ruanfan sat up in an instant, groped to get out of bed, and walked out of the area covered by the black mist.

It was still warm and sunny outside, but surprisingly quiet.

With his excellent hearing ability, Chi Ruanfan heard the trembling voice of the village chief's family in a certain room downstairs.

"It's horrible...the woods have turned white, full of ice."

"The black fog has disappeared..."

"And the roar of the tiger, too."

ice?Black mist?tiger?

Key words were connected in series in Chi Ruanfan's mind, and he quickly ran to the balcony, looking eagerly.

On a certain mountain peak in the distance, it was covered with ice and snow, and many trees broke and fell down.

There was no fighting figure, brocade bamboo or black mist, only a huge white tiger lying on the ground could be faintly seen through the gaps in the trees.

Chi Ruanfan was so anxious that he forgot to put on his shoes and turned over from the balcony.

An arm wrapped around his waist, embracing him behind her.

A familiar breath came from behind, and Chi Ruanfan paused.

"Jinzhu?!"

Just as Chi Ruanfan was about to turn his head, he saw a hand raised and stretched out in front of him.

The hand opened, and an ice-blue crystal nucleus lay quietly in the palm.
