Chapter 16 From childhood to adulthood, I have been used to his existence
Cheng Mengyun jumped to the place where he stored food on the third floor, and thought carefully about the rigid requirement of 20 kilograms of grain in the K city base, and decided to put two large pieces of bacon, leftover noodles, and instant dumplings that were difficult to cook on the road. Food deals to the uncle.
The cabbage and eggplants that were taken from the balcony were also sent. These things took up space and water, and it was really difficult to drive on the road. As for the rice, it was reserved as the entry condition for the base.
Carrying the selected food to the fourth floor, Cheng Mengyun found that Yinhua and the uncle were staring at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.She wasn't thinking about it here either, she just wanted to get some food and exchange it with the uncle for the car.
Cheng Mengyun saw that Yinhua wanted to come over and help her get something, she dexterously ducked: "Don't, don't, I'll just come, you have a good rest."
Yinhua's outstretched hand froze, and finally took it back obediently.
Cheng Mengyun ran up and down to carry things, and the two braids swayed in the air, jumping with the master.
"There are still vegetables. I had a good life." The uncle was very satisfied. After he counted the supplies, he comforted the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa. He closed the door and led the two people downstairs.
A black car was parked next to the iron gate at the bottom of the building. The uncle stepped forward and started the car with the car key. The car started normally as expected.
"Here, I wish you a smooth journey." The uncle handed the car key to Cheng Mengyun cherishly.
The latter thanked him all the time, smiled until his teeth were lost, touched the car key again and again, and then handed the car key to Yinhua for safekeeping, and asked him to stay beside the car while he went upstairs to get his luggage.
It was the scorching sun, the sunlight passed through the glass windows, and a mottled halo emerged from the hollowed-out small floral curtains, which brought out the warmth of the small room. The yellow talisman paper on the ceiling slowly fell down.
With a trace of nostalgia, she glanced at the house she had lived in for almost a year. Although this house was notorious, it was a rare bargain for herself, who was about to graduate and was shy. Maybe it's because she has a big heart. She eats well and sleeps well here, and there is no strange talk here at all.
Cheng Mengyun's eyes were firm, and he quickly put on the two backpacks on the sofa. Those were the supplies that she and Yinhua had prepared early so that they could run away at any time.
Picking up the two photo frames on the dining table, and taking the photos out of the frames, Cheng Mengyun prayed sincerely, "Mom, Aunt Yin, I wish us all the best." She carefully placed them on the mezzanine of her bag.
The incense on the incense burner just burned out, and a white mist wafted out.
Goodbye. She whispered in her heart, then packed the rest of the food and other important supplies in a black plastic bag, and pushed the door away without looking back.
Passing by the second floor, the stench that came out of nowhere became more and more obvious, and Cheng Mengyun hurried down without stopping.
When she came downstairs, Cheng Mengyun was so tired that she was out of breath from the weight on her body. She was sure that the body of the superhuman was definitely strengthened. Of course, this was inseparable from her daily exercise since the end of the world. She was overwhelmed, and now she was out of breath at best, and could still walk a few steps.
The uncle helped her stuff things into the back seat, Cheng Mengyun kept his mind, and put all three bags of things on the back seat pads, at least to make it less conspicuous from the outside window.
She felt Yin Hua's body swaying slightly beside her, she hurriedly hugged him, the skin of her tentacles was hot. Her heart tightened, and she put Yinhua into the co-pilot, and ran to the driver's seat with the car key.
Thank her for being held by the other side's staff when she passed by the newly opened driving school before, and then she selected two free driving school places in the opening grand reward lottery. Based on the principle of not taking advantage of the cheap, I learned "driving" from Yinhua. "This practical skill.
The uncle bent down, rolled the cigarette under his feet, and said, "My wife's prediction has not been wrong. I suggest that you leave the K City base as soon as possible if you can. If you are observant, you will know that ghosts like zombies are there. evolution."
The uncle's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and Cheng Mengyun was looked at furiously: "We will, thank you." She always felt that the uncle's eyes couldn't help glancing at Yinhua, and she couldn't help but turn to block his gaze. .
The uncle just smiled and patted the car: "Let's set off soon before it gets dark. Sister, I wish you a smooth journey."
Taking out the suona from the backpack and stuffing it into Yinhua's arms, Cheng Mengyun said goodbye to the uncle and started the car without delay.
The car made the hum of the engine, and the overturned and crowded vehicles and zombies were intertwined on the Incense Street. She had never left this street since the end of the world.
She looked at Yinhua, the other party forced a smile, the whites in Taohua's eyes seemed to be attacking the city again.
I already got the car, as long as rush to the K city base to get the special medicine Yinhua, it will be saved. Cheng Mengyun held back his sore nose and focused his attention on the road ahead.
According to the simple map guide on the flyer, she carefully avoided the debris on the ground, and the zombies who were alone were attracted by the sound and rushed towards the car.
Seeing the zombie in front of the car with a hole in the stomach and unknown minced meat hanging from the corner of his mouth, Cheng Mengyun didn't blink, and ran over directly with the car. The car jolted a bit when it ran over.
Hurry up, get to the K city base earlier, this is the only thought in her head.
She drove past the empty "Ronghua Supermarket" at the end of the street and came to the main road bordering Incense street.The spacious main road stretches across the endless fields, the concrete road is full of potholes, and there are scattered rural self-built houses on both sides of the road, and many black spots can be seen wandering in the distance.Although Incense street is planned as a suburb, it is already close to the rural area.
The right side of the main road leads to the city center of An County, where Incense street belongs, and the left side leads to K City.There is also a dirt road branching off from the main road.
"Let's take the small road." Yinhua's voice sounded out of breath, "When I came back on the left side, there was a serious traffic jam."
"Okay, okay." Cheng Mengyun directly followed Yinhua's suggestion, turned the car, and got on the forked dirt road. That is the dirt road leading to the An County Cemetery. Except for holidays such as the Qingming Festival and weekends, there is very little traffic. If you go to K City, you can take a detour from here.
"Huazi, how do you feel?" Cheng Mengyun drove the car, and still did not forget to chat with Yinhua, "Hold on, here is only about 70 kilometers away from the K city base, even if you take a detour, it won't be too late. Maybe we'll be there before sundown."
"It's okay. I have nothing to do, Mengyun." Yinhua seemed to have a throat discomfort, so he didn't say much, just hugged Suona in his arms, and pressed the hole with his slender fingertips.
She looked at Yinhua worriedly through the rearview mirror, only to see him bowing his head, his slightly long untrimmed black hair covering Zeng's beautiful eyes.
She quickly accelerated the speed of the car.
On both sides of the country road, there are lodging rice fields. The long hot sun and no one to irrigate, the rice fields are almost withered. Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, the number of zombies is pitifully low. Occasionally, one or two lonely graves will appear on the side of the road. Everything is silent, only the tireless chirping of cicadas.
Fearfully looking left and right to pay attention to the situation outside the car, Cheng Mengyun prayed that there would not be a large number of zombies here.
However, things did not go as expected, and when they walked around the cemetery, a crowd of zombies suddenly emerged from the cemetery. They were all dressed in black with white flowers on their chests, as if they had come to hold a funeral together before the end of the world.
Cheng Mengyun stepped on the gas pedal and pressed down. Hurry up, hurry up, she doesn't want to waste time dealing with zombies. The car accelerated again, gradually throwing the zombies away.
As long as you pass the small bridge across the river, you will be closer to the base in K City. A meandering river and a vague concrete bridge appeared in the distance, Cheng Mengyun froze the corners of his mouth before raising his lips.
"The bridge is broken?" Cheng Mengyun couldn't believe his eyes, the concrete bridge was broken in the middle, leaving only the piers on both sides in danger.
There are too many zombies! As Cheng Mengyun got closer, the densely packed zombies on the other side of the bridge became more and more clear, the flattened and leaky balloon arch stood deformed in the distance, and the banners were funeral things in memory of an old man.
Cheng Mengyun's scalp was numb, and he turned the steering wheel and drove along the river. With her small body and weak Yinhua, it's better not to go head-to-head with a bunch of zombies on the opposite side.
She drove for dozens of minutes before finding a place to cross the river. There were only a few bricks and bamboo paved into the crude "bridge". She drove with trepidation. When the tires sank into the wet soil, she was worried that she would not be able to get through. Fortunately, the car climbed up dangerously.
In this way, although there were twists and turns, she drove smoothly for several hours. There were huge signposts on the country road, and she was able to make sure that she was on the right road after stumbling.
Cheng Mengyun kept talking to Yinhua along the way, and Yinhua would reply her at first, but then his voice gradually became deep and hoarse, as if his throat was blocked by something.
It doesn't matter, there is only half of the way left, Cheng Mengyun suppressed the tears back, the sun hurt and itched on her face, she didn't care.
The sun is sinking to the west, and the sunset glows bright red in the sky, and the staggering of day and night is coming.
"Huazi, we may not be able to make it today. Let's find a safe place to spend the night. There is only 1/3 of the way. Soon, soon we will be able to reach the K city base." Cheng Mengyun said in a rambling voice, she The person who called did not answer her.
She also wanted to drive overnight, but she was not familiar with the road conditions here, and zombies' senses were more sensitive in the dark, so it was too risky to drive at night.
She was talking to herself, and before the sun completely set, she picked a self-built house on the side of the road and parked on the front lawn of the house.
Cheng Mengyun got off the car to check the surrounding environment. The house is a two-storey bungalow with closed doors and windows, and there is a big notice on the door: The owner is out on business, please call XXXXXXXX if you need something.
The owner of the house should not be there. Fortunately, there may not be a second family if you walk a few hundred meters here.
Her legs were nearly numb when she moved, and maintaining the same posture for a long time brought pain to her body. She returned to the car, stretched out her hand to Yinhua's forehead, her hand was so hot that her fingertips shrank.
Yinhua fell into a coma, his sleeping face was peaceful, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, a black thread crawled up his collarbone through Yinhua's T-shirt, and his nails faded to look like dead leaves.
Why did it happen so quickly? Being stabbed by the black thread, Cheng Mengyun called him softly.
"Yinhua...Yinhua..."
The other party didn't seem to hear it, and was still in a deep sleep, just unconsciously muttering the word "Mengyun".
The sun finally fell below the horizon, and the long night came as promised.
Cheng Mengyun took out the eight-treasure porridge she had collected, which was obtained by chance, and there were only two cans, and she carefully fed Yinhua. Yinhua seemed unable to swallow at all, the porridge slid down the corners of her lips, Cheng Mengyun frantically took out a piece of paper and wiped it clean.
Yinhua has a little cleanliness, she remembers it.
She was still feeding tirelessly.
Reluctantly feeding some porridge, she casually took a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth.
Enduring tears for an unknown amount of time, she wept silently in the dark night. The darkness seems to be able to stimulate people's thoughts and thoughts. Tears soaked into the bread, and she bit it, the inferior plastic smell of the bread was mixed with the salty smell, and she didn't notice it.
Obviously...Obviously we are living so hard, why does life always like to make jokes. God has already taken away Mom and Aunt Yin, so will Yinhua be taken away from her now?
I canβt remember how long Iβve known Yinhua, but she and Yinhua have never been separated since I was a child. When I was a child, Yinhua was not tall, with baby fat on her face, and always followed her and called her sister, Like a puppy that can't be chased away. After entering junior high school, Yinhua's rebellious period came just in time. The tall and thin boy didn't wear his school uniform well, and secretly fought with gangsters who were looking for faults. Later, those sharp teeth and claws suddenly subsided, and turned into the current gentle appearance.
She has gotten used to Yinhua's existence, like an innate instinct.
Holding the leaflets in his arms, Cheng Mengyun tightly grasped those life-saving straws. She could, she was powerless to the death of her mother and Aunt Yin, but she could save Yinhua.
She sure can.
Wiping away the tears, Cheng Mengyun put away the leaflets and tilted Yinhua's seat back so that he could lie down more comfortably. She leaned back against the chair and fell into a light sleep.
In the dimness, there was a violent beating sound.
Cheng Mengyun woke up from a nightmare, the slapping sound came from the window of the co-pilot. The sound was hurried, as if the body had hit the window unconsciously.
An unspeakable panic seized the heart. She carefully took out the lighter, and from the flickering and dim light, she could vaguely see that it was a "person" with two heads.
