The Prepared People in the End Times (13)
Zheng Qianqian and his team's route was different from the one Ji Changze was going to take.
But after seeing the route they were going to take under Hu Hao's enthusiasm and Zheng Qianqian's vigilance, Ji Changze directly told them that if they went this way, they would still turn back to the city.
And now the surviving humans are looking for resources everywhere. If they turn back, they will definitely face the tragic situation of not being able to find resources.
Zheng Qianqian didn't believe it. She had studied this map so many times. It was clearly the way out of the city. How could it be possible to turn back to the city.
Li Hechuan took out a drone, flew it into the air to record, and then recorded the winding route.
Zheng Qianqian: "..."
She never thought there was such an operation.
"Isn't there no network now? How can you still use this?"
Ji Changze pointed at Li Hechuan: "Chuanchuan is quite good at this."
Li Hechuan proudly puffed out his chest.
"This drone is my collection. I asked someone to buy it for me at a high price. I usually let it fly around, take pictures and videos, and I can sit at home without lacking materials."
"And this kind of debugging is not difficult. Brother Ji has many components and everything. I am planning to try to make another one myself. The one I make may not be as good as the one we are using, but it is okay."
Zheng Qianqian: "..."
This fat and ugly man, she had previously guessed whether his function in the team was to be a bait, but she didn't expect him to be so awesome.
Sure enough, the masters are always among the inconspicuous people.
She was more certain that she was right.
Before, Li's father and mother said that Ji Changze was kind enough to take them with him, but now it seems that Ji Changze clearly saw Li Hechuan's talent.
She said that she would not make a mistake in her inference. Ji Changze would not do anything without profit.
He must have recruited Li Hechuan and taken care of Li's father and mother because of Li Hechuan's talent in making drones by himself.
Just thinking about this, I heard Li Hechuan turn his head and look at Ji Changze: "Uncle Ji, take me with you when you go to the roof of the car to stand guard. Please tell me what I did wrong when I was doing it."
Ji Changze was preparing the sauce for the roasted whole rabbit. Hearing his words, he agreed directly: "Okay, but you kid, be careful when you start, don't waste materials like last time, these things are not easy to find now."
Zheng Qianqian: "...Senior, teach you? Aren't you a professional? No, senior is not a professional either."
"Yes, Uncle Ji is a Youbei tribe, isn't it normal for him to have these skills?" Li Hechuan answered quite confidently.
Zheng Qianqian: "..."
Normal, normal?
Don't Youbei tribes all buy, buy, buy to train themselves? When can they make drones? It is also a standard feature of Youbei tribe...
But in this case, the reason why Ji Changze recruited him for Li Hechuan's ability seems to be unreasonable.
Zheng Qianqian looked at Ji Changze who was standing at the table preparing the sauce with a bit of entanglement.
This table is foldable. It only takes up a little space when folded, but it can take up a lot of space when stretched out. There is also a barbecue grill next to it. At this moment, the rabbit is cleaned and placed on it. Fu Hao next to it turns it over according to the fire.
Ji Changze, who is wearing a white apron and hand-washed, has just chopped some chili peppers, onions, ginger and garlic, and is now preparing the sauce in a serious manner. He looks so gentle and orderly even when doing kitchen work. If it weren’t for the fact that the grass in the area where they parked was flattened and vacated, and the grass around them was taller than people, it would look like they were just taking an outing in the wild.
It seemed that the sauce was ready. He took out a small plate with a nice shape (why do you need to bring a small plate for sauce when you are on the run?), and handed it to Guo Junyuan next to him, saying gently: "Try it and adjust it to this taste, okay?"
Beside Guo Junyuan's feet was a folding baby carriage, which was unfolded at this moment. Xiaobao was sitting in it and looking around curiously. She took the small plate, dipped a little with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"Well, it's delicious and fragrant."
"Then don't add anything else."
After getting his wife's affirmation, Ji Changze's handsome face, which was still not destroyed even in the end of the world, showed a faint smile, and took a spoon to fill the small plates with sauce one by one.
Then he poured a bowl of something that looked very similar to spicy soy sauce, and took a barbecue brush to brush the rabbit all over.
Guo Junyuan suddenly thought: "By the way, do we have a few frozen fish in the refrigerator in the car? Let's eat them together this time."
As she said, she went back to open the car refrigerator and took out a few fish inside.
This was caught by Ji Changze when they passed by the river five days ago. They cooked boiled fish and ate three of them. There were four left, and Guo Junyuan put them in the refrigerator to freeze. Everyone ate in the car these days and didn't make a big meal, so she didn't think about it.
Zheng Qianqian was already very surprised to hear that there were still fish, but she saw Guo Junyuan actually took a few fish down from the car.
She was completely stunned.
This is not like a picnic, this is basically a picnic.
In the past ten days, she and Hu Hao drove to so many places and met many other humans, but no human was as relaxed as they were.
Look at these barbecue things, they are really well-made, such as the barbecue rack, the oil brush, and as Guo Junyuan said just now, they even have a refrigerator.
Even if they came here to sneak into the "enemy", now they see everyone gathered together, having fun, the children running around with grilled chicken wings in their hands, the adults gathered together, and even set up a table of ma:'j-ia:ng, and called them to play.
Ji Changze still prepared the sauce, took off his apron, and hugged Xiaobao to coax him. Guo Junyuan next to him was stuffed with a fat chicken leg by him. He was holding the chicken leg in one hand and a cup of milk at the right temperature in the other hand, looking at the father and son with a gentle smile.
Zheng Qianqian's nose was a little sour when she saw this scene.
Of course, she was not jealous or envious, but suddenly she felt as if she had returned to the time before the disaster happened. At that time, the road had not turned into a prairie, and she did not have to worry about whether an antelope would jump out from somewhere when she went to the toilet. When driving, she only needed to look around for vehicles and traffic lights, and did not have to worry about whether she would get stuck in a swamp while driving.
God knows why the place that was supposed to be a road turned into a swamp.
But thinking that this place has become a prairie, it is understandable that there is a swamp on the road.
Because of this feeling of a happy and peaceful life, Zheng Qianqian liked Ji Changze a lot.
In addition, they were just casual acquaintances, and the routes were not quite the same. The people around Ji Changze also said that Ji Changze was indeed a good person. Zheng Qianqian was a little suspicious whether she was really oversensitive.
The most important thing is that she used to believe in her intuition.
But now facing Ji Changze again, she could not feel the signal of "I am a bad guy, hahaha" from this person at all. Instead, she felt calm and gentle, just like she thought he was pretending before.
Moreover, when he looked at her and met her eyes, there was no extra emotion in Ji Changze's eyes.
It didn't look like he liked her at all, or had any thoughts about her.
Zheng Qianqian fell into deep thought.
Could it be... that she really made a mistake?
Her intuition was not accurate, so she could not rely on her intuition as before, but also on the judgment of people around her, but everyone around her thought Ji Changze was a good person.
Even Li Hechuan broke the news that he did not have a good relationship with Ji Changze, and it was said that Chen Delu, who had been a mortal enemy since childhood, was a mortal enemy.
If his mortal enemy thought Ji Changze was a good person, how good must he be?
Zheng Qianqian gradually began to doubt herself, and when she ate the delicious barbecue, this doubt was covered up by the deliciousness.
She saw the essence through the phenomenon.
No matter who Ji Changze was, since their paths were completely different, they would definitely have no intersection in the future in such a world, so why should she bother about it.
It didn't matter what kind of person Ji Changze was, as long as what he did was what a kind-hearted person did.
If it were someone else, it would just be the relationship between a senior and a junior. Who would be willing to give food and drink, even the most precious gasoline, in such a situation?
After thinking it through, Zheng Qianqian felt refreshed.
She stopped struggling and thinking, and happily joined the barbecue.
When Ji Changze asked her to bring some back for Hu Hao, she readily agreed.
Chen Delu was sitting on a small stool, taking out the seasoning he brought from a woven bag. He had found it when he was looking for food before, and he had been hiding it. He didn't kill the rabbit, nor the pheasant, and the fish had nothing to do with him, so he didn't feel embarrassed to eat and drink for free.
If Ji Changze saw him eating and drinking for free, he would definitely laugh at him.
Even if he didn't show it on his face, he would definitely laugh at him in his heart.
There was no need to ask how he knew it, he was so clear about the psychological activities of Ji Changze, the villain.
As he was taking out the seasonings one by one, he saw Zheng Qianqian smiling at Ji Changze and saying thank you.
Peaceful and harmonious.
As expected.
Chen Delu snorted in his heart.
He knew that Zheng Qianqian must have been brainwashed.
Maybe he still thought Ji Changze's image was so noble and majestic, so naive!
Chen Delu, who took out all his treasured seasonings, had no idea that Zheng Qianqian changed sides because of him.
He only found Li Hechuan brushing the rabbit meat after pouring the seasonings, and stood up and walked over there.
"You haven't grilled before? This can't be done like this, come on, let me teach you."
Li Hechuan was shocked that Chen Delu, who looked even more useless than him and could only talk about Uncle Ji, actually looked like he was very proficient in cooking. He quickly gave up his position as the chef and specially took Ji Changze's apron to him.
Chen Delu started grilling like a real chef.
He even asked Li Hechuan to take out the induction cooker from the RV and cook a dish himself.
As a result, the scene looked even more joyful.
Zheng Qianqian looked at this scene and became more certain of her thoughts.
She could get along so well with her mortal enemy.
Maybe she was really mistaken.
Ji Changze looked really friendly.
It was also a good thing that Chen Delu didn't know that he had made Zheng Qianqian have such an idea, otherwise he would definitely go crazy.
Zheng Qianqian ate by herself and gave it to Hu Hao. She was very busy. When everyone was full and started to move things back, she thought for a few seconds and decided to share the information with Ji Changze and the others. The news from the station was told to them.
It's just that this is very different from previous ideas.
Before, I thought I couldn't owe a favor, but this time I proposed it out of gratitude.
Ji Changze and the others do need to replenish their gasoline.
After all, I drove three cars and used a lot of gasoline. Although I had reserves and looked for gas stations according to the map to replenish them along the way, I only had less than half of the gasoline left after driving for such a period of time.
Just like filling up the blue strips, several cars drove to the gas station together. Everyone first filled up the gas together, and then filled it with barrels. After confirming that nothing was missing, Zheng Qianqian and the others followed the new route drawn with Li Hechuan's help. Open, Ji Changze and the others continue to drive home.
The two parties are now separated.
Although Zheng Qianqian had begun to suspect that her intuition was wrong, she never let down her guard. What reassured her was that Ji Changze never made an attack until they were the only car left on the road again.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, is she overthinking it?
But Lu, who was sitting in his car and driving, staring at the grazing sheep in front of him, completely forgot about the name Zheng Qianqian.
Replaced with "Stupid Human Number 6 who was also deceived by Ji Changze's mask", there is no sense of violation at all.
Everyone continued to drive forward, because there was a refrigerator, and there were prey that would die under bows and arrows along the way. There was no need to worry about eating and drinking, and they would also play recreational activities together, such as hunting p:u'k:e and hitting ma:'j- ia:ng, or practice archery while sitting on the roof of an RV.
Because the plant that Ji Changze took as the arrow flower has grown up, they have no shortage of arrows to use. They don’t have to feel bad if they don’t pick it up after shooting it. Of course, since Ji Changze discovered that there is a kind of vine that can be made into ropes, there are more people. The same activity is to rub the rope.
The rope can be tied to the arrow. When practicing archery, tie the rope to the end and pull the arrow back with the prey.
They have no shortage of arrows now, but it would be nice to save a few.
We also encountered other cars along the way, but those cars just ran away when they saw them from a distance.
Ji Changze and Guo Junyuan analyzed that the relationship between human beings and humans must not be good, otherwise those people would not run away as soon as they saw them. Either these people have encountered bad people before and were dealt with, or these people themselves are bad people. Look They had four vehicles (plus a tricycle), and the RV was so tall, so they thought they were too crowded, so they ran away.
Anyway, since they had Li Hechuan and a radio, they didn't need to ask other humans for information. From then on, they began to avoid other humans.
Finally, they drove to the foot of a mountain.
The car stopped, and Li Hechuan came out with the drone and let it fly. He controlled it while watching the video: "Yes, this is it."
Chen's Lu calmed down a little because of the excitement of returning home; "Here? How can there be such a high mountain in our village?"
He looked at the video screen: "Chuanchuan, are you looking in the wrong place? There are forests near our village, and there are mountains, but they are all small hills, not so high."
Ji Changze looked up at the mountain in front of him and suddenly said: "Yes, there is a high mountain near our village."
"Erlang Mountain? Erlang Mountain is not bald..."
The rest of Chen Lu's words were stuck in his throat. He looked steadily at the mountain in front of him. About ten meters away, there was a huge dent.
The saying passed down in the village is that these are the footprints of Erlang Shen.
Although the legend does not mention why Erlangshen's footprints are so big, no one has asked similar questions about whether the one with the big footprints should be Bigfoot.
A mountain that had been bald since they were children is now covered with green trees, which are so lush and lush.
The world has really changed.
"Uncle Ji, does your village look like an eye from the air?"
Ji Changze: "Yes."
Li Hechuan had a complicated look on his face and moved away from watching the video: "The terrain of this village is a bit complicated now. You can see for yourselves."
Ji Changze and Chen Lu looked closer.
Li Hechuan pointed to the left side of the village: "There are several mountains here, and there are basically no roads for people to walk on. Just now, the drone recorded a video of wild boars, and they were not just one or two, but a group of them." ”
He pointed to the right: "This is a river. There are many water snakes in the river. I can't tell whether they are poisonous or not. Anyway, they are very permeable."
"There's not much else in front of the village, but there are very tall trees there. I asked the drone to take a closer look. Almost every tree has honeycombs on it. I checked the information before and found that there will be honeycombs here in summer. The beekeepers came to stay for a period of time. These bees may have been left behind at that time. Then the meteorite rain came and there was much more nectar than before. The bees may have also been affected by nature and multiplied and expanded their populations. In other words, this area Already occupied by bees."
They have discussed this before. After the end of the world, it seems that only humans have not changed in the entire world, while other animals and plants have evolved to a greater or lesser extent.
Plants are growing rapidly, and animals have higher IQs than before. What they have in common is that they grow according to the characteristics that they had before the end of the world.
For example, rabbits are the most common now, because they were very good at reproduction before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, their reproduction ability seems to have been further strengthened.
Bees are also animals that can expand their populations.
Li Hechuan continued: "This is not the worst. The worst thing is that this road below, which is the road we must take if we want to enter the village, cuts off all the farmland. The fields in your village should be behind this road. Villagers must take this road if they need food, but there are lions living on this road."
Chen Delu's voice was so shocked that it was high-pitched: "Lion group? How could we have such a thing here?"
Li Hechuan: "I found the information about your county that there is a zoo, so..."
Chen Delu: "..."
Fuck!
Li Hechuan said again: "Do you know what this kind of terrain means?"
Chen Delu said in a depressed tone: "Does it mean that if we want to go home, we have to fight these lions that fell from the sky?"
"No."
Ji Changze's eyes were fixed on the video: "This means that the villagers can't go out in all directions, and can only stay in the village, but the crops they grow are all outside."
That means they have nothing to eat and can only starve? ?
Chen Delu's face was ashen.
His father, his mother, those are all edible.
It's over, they must be living a miserable life now.
He thought of many adjectives in an instant.
Pale and thin, big head and small body, skinny, sallow complexion, and desperate.
No!!! ! !
Ji Changze was not as devastated as Chen Delu. He remembered that the villagers had granaries, and everyone usually stored enough food for half a year, so the villagers might be anxious, and they might also worry about what to do if the food ran out in the future.
But they really didn't starve.
"Okay, let's make a plan and see how to beat these lions into the village."
In the village surrounded by dangers, there is a pair of neighbors who are cursing at each other across the wall.
"My son's grades are better than your son's, his brain is smarter than your son's, and he looks better than your son. It must be my son Changze who will come back first."
"Bullshit, what's the use of your son's good looks? My son Lulu is smart and likes to play basketball. Didn't you hear what the village chief said? This is called the end of the world. Good grades are useless at the end of the world. It depends on whether you can play! It must be my son Lulu who will come back first."
"You are the one who is talking nonsense. Your son Chen's Lu is like a skinny bamboo pole. I, Changze, can knock him down with a slap."
"My son Lulu can even sit on him to death with a fart."
The two of them couldn't see each other's faces but they were still arguing. Their husbands almost started to call people at the same time: "Stop arguing, let's eat when the meal is ready."
They were all helpless because it seemed that there were poisonous snakes entering the village recently, and no one dared to go out.
The two women were so bored that they cursed at each other across the wall, chirping louder than the magpies on the tree.
Mother Ji: "Wait for me over there, I'll teach you a lesson after dinner."
Mother Chen: "Just wait, it's not certain who will teach whom!"
"My son Changze will come back to help me curse you."
"My son Lulubi, your son Ji Changze came back earlier, I think we will curse you first."
"Bah!"/Duet.
