Chapter 209 There is life here

Yang Zengyue knew that Shu Ranran and the others must have suffered a lot on the way, and it took them a long time to find the direction.

Although she gave the map of Sikun Mountain after the apocalypse, the terrain was somewhat different before and after the apocalypse compared to the previous life.

The two people may have taken a lot of detours.

In addition, they encountered a blizzard and could not walk, so the two of them waited until the snow melted before continuing their journey.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken them several months to find this place after the apocalypse.

On the way up the mountain, Shu Ranran looked at the neatly arranged land and knew that Yang Zengyue had made a lot of preparations in advance.

The environment here is very suitable for post-apocalyptic human habitation. There are defensive measures outside and enough land for farming inside, so they can live a self-sufficient life.

Shu Ranran believed that Yang Zengyue must have a way out, and seeds and other things were not a problem at all.

Hu Yingqiu looked at the entire piece of land. Although there were weeds, as long as spring came, it would be ready for planting after a little tidying up.

What does humanity lack most now?

food!

Although they have superpowers, they still need the daily necessities of life to maintain basic vital signs.

Hu Yingqiu and the others saw all of this and knew that their decision to come to Sikunshan to find Yang Zengyue was the right one.

As for how to farm, they can learn. They have survived the apocalypse. How can farming be more difficult than the apocalypse?

Yang Zengyue did not explain the land and greenhouses to the two of them. She believed that with their intelligence and her previous reminders, they could guess something.

In fact, Yang Zengyue was not sure whether Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu would come.

Although she had the best relationship with them when they were in school, a year of friendship might not allow two young girls to take risks.

Plus they have families.

Yang Zengyue reminded the two of them that if possible, they should try to stay with their families.

Now it seems that Shu Ranran's parents did not survive.

As for Hu Yingqiu, her home was too far away from Nanyuan, and she had no time to go back when the apocalypse happened.

After gaining superpowers, Hu Yingqiu saw the ending of Shu Ranran's parents and originally planned to return to her hometown, but after witnessing the environment outside, she chose to go south with Shu Ranran.

There was no way she could get home alone.

She is aware of her own strength.

Coming to Sikunshan is the best choice.

Here is Yang Zengyue.

There was a benefactor who showed them the way at the beginning of the end of the world.

After seeing everything in Sikunshan, Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu became more convinced of their choice.

Yang Zengyue is always a trustworthy and reliable person.

Shu Ranran looked at the neatly planned land and greenhouses at the foot of the mountain. Not much had been planted in the greenhouses, but some green vegetables had already sprouted.

In this gray environment, it looks particularly pleasant.

It's very lively here.

Shu Ranran looked at the environment here and asked, "Zengyue, have there been any major changes here since the end of the world?"

Yang Zengyue thought for a moment and asked, "Are you asking about the mountains and rivers or something else? If it's the former, the changes are quite large. If it's the latter, the entire Zhongwei is probably the same."

Shu Ranran: "On our way to Sikunshan, we found that many places marked on your map were different from the real ones."

Yang Zengyue raised an eyebrow: "Which direction did you come from?"

After the end of the world, she only went to Nandian, Nanyuan, and Huayan Mountain.

These three places are all to the north of Sikun Mountain. She has not been to the east, west and south directions yet.

Shu Ranran: "The terrain and mountains are more than the map you gave me."

Yang Zengyue was surprised: "What does this extra mountain look like?"

Shu Ranran thought for a while before continuing, "It's strange that I can't even see the entire mountain clearly. If you don't believe me, ask Yingqiu."

Yang Zengyue looked at Hu Yingqiu, only to see her nod with certainty: "That mountain is very strange. From a distance, I can't see it clearly. I want to see it up close, but I can't get close."

You know it's not far away, but you can never reach it.

The reason why they found Sikun Mountain so late was because they walked a long way and took a long detour in pursuit of the mountain.

Yang Zengyue pondered: "Can you draw it?"

She suspected that this mountain might be one of the secret places mentioned by Lu Xingyun.

If Shu Ranran and the others could draw the mountain, she would be able to make a judgment by comparing it with the map of the secret realm left by Lu Xingyun.

Hu Yingqiu nodded: "You can draw it. We also took pictures of the mountain. If there is still power in the past, my phone should be able to be used after charging, and it will be clearer."

She had saved several power banks before, and when she saw the mountain she was so amazed that she took a picture of it.

She wasn't sure whether there was electricity here at Yang Zengyue's place, but she just said it casually.

But I got a surprising answer, "Well, give me your phone. I'll charge it and check it when I get back."

Hu Yingqiu was a little dumbfounded and handed the phone over blankly.

After the apocalypse, they hadn't used electricity for several months and had to rely on fire for lighting.

I didn’t expect that there is electricity here in Yang Zengyue’s place!

"Oh, there is a Fenggu Power Plant near Sikun Mountain. Coincidentally, one of our people knows about engineering machinery. We can ask him to connect the electricity to ensure daily needs." Yang Zengyue's light words surprised Hu Yingqiu and the others even more.

Has Yang Zengyue gathered all the talents?

So, visionary!

"Oh." Hu Yingqiu didn't know what else to say except this.

Compared to Yang Zengyue, they were really far inferior and only barely managed to save their lives.

Yang Zengyue had obviously made preparations half a year in advance. Although the two were confused, they were relieved after meeting Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao.

Jiuxiao's sage-like appearance and Zhi Baixiao's divination skills made Shu Ranran and the others directly attribute Yang Zengyue's foresight to Jiuxiao and Zhi Baixiao.

Yang Zengyue couldn't be happier with this result. She really didn't like explaining things to others.

Since the two of them had gotten the answer themselves, she didn't say anything.

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu talked back and forth about what had happened in the past three months.

After saying it, both of them felt a lot more relieved.

Over the past few months, fear has been weighing on my heart because I've been on the verge of death every day.

"It's nice to be here. Although it can't guarantee 100% safety, it's much more comfortable than outside." Chen Jiaer said with a smile.

"Well, indeed, you built it very well." Shu Ranran replied.

Chen Jiaer: "Sister Zengyue and I have spent a lot of time here. We can work together to build this place in the future."

Looking at the smiling Chen Jiaer in front of them, Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu felt relieved.

After all, they have only been friends with Yang Zengyue for a year, and whether they can be accepted by the people in this place has always been a concern for them.

Since Chen Jiaer, who was beside Yang Zengyue, also welcomed them, they could put their worries aside. As long as they worked hard to build together with them, they believed that they would be able to integrate into this collective sooner or later.

Yang Zengyue also briefly talked about the current situation of Si Kunshan, and said that he had returned to Nanyuan and looked for them, but did not find them.

Shu Ranran asked Yang Zengyue about the situation in Nanyuan. "When we left, we found that there were not many survivors in Nanyuan, and all the supplies had evaporated."

That's why I decided to go south.

On the way south, they met some survivors, and because of their strength, they became leaders among these people.

When the two of them decided to come to Sikunshan, these people had nowhere to go anyway, so they followed them here.

Yang Zengyue nodded: "It's the same everywhere, but don't worry, we can be self-sufficient here in Sikunshan."

Seeing Yang Zengyue's confident face, Hu Yingqiu and the others smiled.

very nice.

This was the first time the two of them smiled since the end of the world.

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu looked at the land, houses, and forests covered by strange plants, and their hearts felt as calm as if they were back home.

This is probably how it feels to survive a disaster.

Chen Jiaer was also very happy when she saw Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu.

Yang Zengyue will be nice to anyone who is nice to her!

So, I chatted non-stop with the two of them on the way.

Soon, the four of them went up the mountain.

Yang Zengyue had already asked Luo Haobai, who had come down the mountain, to make arrangements for the people they brought with them.

There are many houses in the village, and Fan Jingfei and Luo Haobai will arrange their accommodation.

As long as these people don't have any bad intentions, we can settle down here.

Pumpkin heard the noise and rushed out, pouncing directly on Yang Zengyue.

But Yang Zengyue grabbed the hair on the back of his neck, lifted him up and threw him aside.

Pumpkin doesn't give up.

I had to hug Chen Jiaer.

Chen Jiaer held its two big front hooves and said happily, "Pumpkin, if you don't behave, Sister Jiaer won't like you either."

The dog looked pitiful. It put down its hooves and circled around Chen Jiaer twice. It was whimpering something in its mouth, as if it was talking.

Yang Zengyue ignored it and introduced Hu Yingqiu and the other person to Jiuxiao and Zhi Baixiao.

The two girls looked at the two old men in Taoist robes. The one in the black robe had white hair and beard, and looked like an immortal. The one in the gray robe also looked detached and wise. They thought they had encountered an immortal...

"Hello, Taoist priest." The two girls were a little reserved.

Chen Jiaer chuckled, "Alright, these two are elders, you can call them by their Taoist names, Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao."

Shu Ranran: "Hello, Master."

What a joke! How can it be appropriate to just shout out the Taoist name for such a master?

Yang Zengyue introduced Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu to Jiuxiao and others. Upon learning that the two girls were actually Zengyue's good sisters, Jiuxiao took out several small boxes from his inventory and handed them to Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu.

Jiuxiao was in a good mood: "This is a gift from grandpa for you."

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu felt flattered. They looked at Yang Zengyue and saw her nod, so they accepted Jiuxiao's gift.

Jiuxiao stroked his beard and said, "A gift from an elder cannot be declined."

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

The jewels Jiuxiao gave them were taken out from the underground palace, which were of no use to him.

Just give it to these girls.

In order to ease their awkwardness, Chen Jiaer stepped forward and hugged the two girls: "Welcome!"

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu were deeply impressed by Chen Jiaer and hugged her. "I'm very happy to see Sister Jiaer again."

The restraint in my heart has been somewhat relieved.

With Chen Jiaer around, the two quickly became familiar with Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao.

Upon learning that Jiuxiao was the master Yang Zengyue had mentioned before, Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu were filled with awe.

Because they know how important Jiuxiao is in Yang Zengyue's heart.

Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao knew that the two newly arrived children would feel a little uncomfortable with them around, so they went back to their rooms.

After Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao left Niu, Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu relaxed a lot and talked and laughed with Chen Jiaer.

The girls were so affectionate that Jiang Huiyong was jealous.

After so long, he still hasn't been able to hold Chen Jiaer in his arms, and the two girls got there first!

However, the girl's happy smile made him feel much better.

Really, strange!!

After introducing Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu to everyone, Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer took the two of them on a tour around the Si Kunshan house.

Shu Ranran looked at the land that Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer had prepared before, and she admired them sincerely.

At this time, the two of them also figured out the reason why Yang Zengyue dropped out of school, so they looked at each other.

Yang Zengyue was preparing for the coming of the end of the world, which meant that she knew all this would happen, so she asked them to come to Sikun Mountain and left the medicine and the letter.

Both of them knew it well.

I didn't ask about this matter out loud, intending to let the fact of her dropping out of school sink deep in my heart.

In addition to strange plants, there are also ferocious beasts around Sikun Mountain. However, these ferocious beasts are used for training and are blocked outside the defense wall by the strange plants.

Chen Jiaer chattered to Shu Ranran about her and Yang Zengyue's "great achievements", which made them very happy.

They also exchanged some information about the level of their superpowers. Yang Zengyue learned that the two had not relaxed since they had endured the pain of their superpowers.

Seizing every opportunity to train themselves, Yang Zengyue looked at the two people with admiration.

Not everyone has this kind of perseverance, which shows that these two people are very strong-willed.

She was not wrong.

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu decided to settle down here: "Zengyue, are you short of manpower here? Yingqiu and I can help you."

Yang Zengyue smiled: "I'm in dire need of it. I've been waiting for you to say this."

Shu Ranran and Hu Yingqiu both breathed a sigh of relief. The environment here was probably better than anywhere else.

When they went south, they found that the entire city was occupied by alien plants and there was no room for survivors to move around.

As for Sikunshan, there are large tracts of arable land, so their food and clothing will no longer be a problem.

If you rely on yourself, you can always grow enough food to eat.

Yang Zengyue added, "There are more than a hundred acres of land belonging to Xingyun Temple, which is enough for us to farm. Don't worry, just feel at ease when you come here. Just think of it as going home."

"As for your family, give me their address. I'll have Bai Zheng go over there and see if we can get any useful information."

Yang Zengyue guessed that Hu Yingqiu must not have returned home yet. Her home was in the northwest, very far away.

It is obviously unrealistic to go back alone.

There are too many dangers on the road. With Hu Yingqiu's current strength, it is impossible for him to go back there alone. He can only wait until later.

When Hu Yingqiu heard that Yang Zengyue would help him find out the news from his hometown, he was already moved to tears.

She also knew that if she insisted on going back, she might become a delicious meal for strange plants or ferocious beasts before she even reached her hometown.

She will go back again when the opportunity is right.

Hu Yingqiu knew her parents were probably in grave danger. Shu Ranran's parents hadn't survived, and her own parents were older and in poor health...

However, since there was no news, she just assumed that everyone was fine.

But deep down I know that this is probably wishful thinking.
