Apocalyptic Stockpiling Survival Life

Jiang Muyun struggled for ten years in the apocalypse. Her biggest regret was not seeing the ending of a novel. She had salvaged dozens of middle pages from the ruins after an earthquake; she could...

Chapter 61

◎Happy 61st Day: Blessing Halo◎

Chu Buwen glanced at the time, turned on the flashlight and shone it into the elevator shaft for a while, then said cautiously, "Half an hour, maybe. We need to get up before the sun sets."

If there are any problems that cannot be solved in the underground garage, they can find a new place to stay before daybreak.

After saying that, Chu Buwen looked up at the elevator shaft again and found that the elevator doors on almost every floor were fully open.

The fact that a few elevator doors were open might have been damaged by water or washed open by the current, but the fact that it was like this on every floor was clearly abnormal.

When the elevator door on a certain floor is pushed open by the scouring and squeezing of the water flow, the water flow has an outlet, and the water pressure inside and outside the elevator shaft will be balanced to a certain extent. The pressure faced by the elevator doors on other floors will drop sharply, and it is impossible for this kind of equal door opening situation to occur.

What's more, when a tsunami comes, the impact forces faced by floors that are not flooded and floors that are buried underwater are completely different.

These elevator doors can only be opened manually.

Just now, they deliberately provoked the man in the elevator shaft in an almost teasing manner. The man was so angry and embarrassed by their teasing that he just continued to make empty threats without any sign of having any backup plan. This is enough to prove that at least he is the only one living in this building.

Considering that he emerged from the elevator shaft to launch a sneak attack, it was easy to determine who opened the elevator door.

Chu Buwen carefully surveyed the elevator shaft, even examining the body of the man who had fallen onto the elevator car. After a long pause, he said to Jiang Muyun, "That's strange. There's no place for him to climb or stand on in the elevator shaft. The elevator car had already fallen to the bottom, landing on the second floor underground. How did he get up here just now?"

While Chu Buwen was inspecting the elevator shaft, Jiang Muyun had been keeping a careful eye on the situation outside the apartment building. After hearing what Chu Buwen said, he frowned and thought for a moment: "The elevator shaft is fine, so the problem is with him. Mutation?"

Chu Buwen said seriously: "Mutants? X-Men? Wolverine? Are our sets changing so quickly?"

Jiang Muyun laughed and scolded, "You are a train station spirit, right?" He was talking nonsense.

It is countless times more difficult for humans to mutate than for animals and plants.

By the tenth year of the apocalypse, when there were almost no unmutated plants and animals on the entire blue planet, the only changes in the human body were better stomachs and intestines and greater resistance to cold and heat.

"A mutant animal that can carry such a big person and can also fly, could it be a mutant bird?" After turning off the flashlight, Chu Buwen obediently followed Jiang Muyun to the underground garage.

Jiang Muyun had no idea either: "It must be an eagle to be able to carry an adult male into the air."

With so little space in the elevator shaft, there's no room for large birds to flap their wings.

Chu Buwen was just saying it casually. If it really was a bird, the noise it made bringing the man up would be huge. It would be impossible for him to not see any trace when he looked into the elevator shaft after the man died.

Chu Buwen knew about this matter, and Jiang Muyun was also clear about it.

If it was really a mutant animal that brought the man up, then this mutant animal must not only be strong but also very fast.

It can hold up an adult male and can escape from the elevator shaft within ten seconds.

As they walked down the stairs to the garage, the two of them slowed down their pace at the same time, and the relaxed and cheerful look on their faces disappeared.

The gun in Jiang Muyun's hand was replaced with a three-edged army spear he had stolen from Nanshan.

With Jiang Muyun's half-baked marksmanship, her shooting accuracy against this fast-moving mutant animal was not as good as her knife throwing.

The closer the two got to the underground garage, the more vigilant they became.

The basement garage smells wrong.

After the flood, corpses were scattered all over the outside world. When the water receded, the corpse water had seeped into the accumulated water, and the smell of rotting corpses spread to every corner of the blue planet.

Except for enclosed spaces, the smell outside can be either strong or weak, and there is no place that is completely clean.

But this underground garage is different.

It has a smell, but it's not the stench of a corpse. It's a sour smell with a fishy odor.

The underground garage never sees the sun all year round. Even with the high temperatures outside for so long, the silt accumulated in the garage is still as damp as a swamp.

Jiang Muyun stopped at the last step of the stairs and did not step into the mud on the ground.

Chu Buwen squatted down and said, "If I remember correctly, there are only two entrances and exits to the underground garage here. Besides the elevator, there is a staircase that serves as a safety passage, which is where we are now."

As they walked down the stairs, they saw no signs of any living creature entering or exiting the stairs.

Either the man's base was upstairs, or he really only entered and exited through the elevator shaft.

Jiang Muyun tends to the latter.

They were careful enough when they entered the community. It was impossible for someone to be watching them from upstairs without them noticing. It was even more impossible for them to hide with the other party's level of robbery.

If the other party lives in an underground garage and learns of the arrival of someone on the ground through mutant animals, then that is more likely.

Jiang Muyun took advantage of the dim light in the corridor to glance at the half-open security door and winked at Chu Buwen.

Although I don't know what kind of animal that person has, since he was able to detect them when they came in, there is no reason why the animal would not react now that they are at the door.

Jiang Muyun had a guess in her mind, and she decided to test it out.

The two men simultaneously pulled out the guns from their waists.

Jiang Muyun carefully held the gun in his right hand and held the gun in his left hand backwards, ready for the animals inside the door to riot at any time.

Chu Buwen fired a shot at the door frame above the security door, and the loud noise echoed in the corridor.

The animal behind the door was frightened, and the half-covered safety door shook twice. Jiang Muyun almost heard the sound of breaking air, but the other party did not rush out.

Escaped.

It seems her guess was correct.

If the man did not let this powerful and fast animal deal with them before his death because he needed to rely on the animal's strength to move around in the elevator shaft, then the fact that the animal's first reaction after the man's death was to flee instead of attacking and hurting people was enough to prove that this animal, which they had never met before, was not a ferocious and aggressive species.

But even the most aggressive animals have a sense of territory.

Jiang Muyun didn't want to rashly step into the underground garage and confront an animal that he knew would have strong fighting ability, so he fired a test shot.

If the other party was truly timid and docile, the noise of firing a gun would be enough to scare them away. Considering that the animals that Jiang Muyun had encountered so far that mutated earlier had almost all experienced an increase in intelligence, the other party might even develop a fear of them.

If the other party's previous escape was just an accident, and they were lying in ambush at the door to wait for them to enter and then launch a surprise attack, then it would be a good thing to force the other party out in advance.

After the noise behind the door completely disappeared, Chu Buwen walked forward cautiously and pushed open the security door sideways.

The sour smell became stronger.

Jiang Muyun turned on the flashlight and flashed it briefly. It was only a split second, enough for her to see the situation inside the underground garage.

But after seeing it clearly, Jiang Muyun instantly didn't want to go in.

It is indeed easy for traces to be left on muddy ground. Precisely because it is so easy to leave traces, Jiang Muyun can tell at a glance what kind of animals left those traces in the underground garage.

Jiang Muyun murmured, "Isn't it my destiny to be haunted by snakes?"

This time it wasn't a group of snakes. The grooves as thick as her thighs were obviously left by pythons.

No wonder it smells like this.

When the light flashed just now, Jiang Muyun paid attention to the traces on the ground, while Chu Buwen looked at the surrounding environment.

"It looks like a golden python." Chu Buwen thought about the bright yellow color he had just seen and turned on the flashlight again.

Sure enough, in the corner of the wall near the elevator shaft, there was a ball of thick, tender yellow yarn. A piece of space was cleared next to the emergency door, where bedding was spread out, a lot of daily necessities were placed, and several large bags were piled up.

The location and the way the supplies are stored are a bit subtle, as if they are ready to escape through the stairs at any time.

Perhaps because the light source was getting closer, the yellow head was directly coiled into its body.

It was clearly a very intimidating-looking giant, but at this moment it had a naturally pitiful aura about it.

Chu Buwen reached out and touched it twice. "It is indeed a golden python. An average adult can grow to seven meters long. It has a docile personality and likes high temperatures. It is a common pet snake species."

Perhaps seeing that Chu Buwen did not hurt it, the golden python slowly raised its head from the circle formed by its body, hesitated for a moment, and then skillfully put its head under Chu Buwen's hand.

It can be seen that it is a very qualified pet snake.

Jiang Muyun said slowly: "You said this snake... does it eat people?"

What disgusted Jiang Muyun was the sight of a group of slippery snakes piled together, but she was just disgusted and didn't want to touch them. It was not that she was afraid of snakes. If she was really hungry, she would still eat them.

Now the tender yellow ball looked soft and elastic, and felt great and not greasy at all. Jiang Muyun was not so resistant anymore, at least he could look directly at it.

Chu Buwen paused in stroking the snake's head. "You suddenly asked me this at this time. I'm really a little panicked... This snake is carnivorous."

Jiang Muyun glanced at Chu Buwen sympathetically and said, "Then guess what it ate to grow so big after the extreme cold?"

In the past, owners could buy meat to feed their pets, but after the extreme cold, buying meat to feed their pets is no longer realistic, right?

What's more, this snake has obviously mutated, and its size does not look like that of an ordinary pet snake.

Chu Buwen tried it out, and seeing that the golden python looked like it was ready to be trampled upon, he reached out and rubbed its white belly.

Flat.

The golden python moved its body consciously and proactively, passed over Chu Buwen's hand, then turned its head and continued to rub his palm.

Chu Buwen patted its head and took a few steps back.

Just kidding, as soon as I touched him, I knew he must have been hungry for a long time.

Although this can prove to some extent that this golden python does not hunt, at least not humans, it does not mean that it has no hunting ability.

Even people will eat each other when they are extremely hungry, let alone snakes. Chu Buwen immediately gave due respect to the instincts of living things.

When the golden python saw Chu Buwen retreat, it buried its head into its body again.

This time, when it raised its head again, it took out a half-dead gray mouse from the small space created by its body, and stretched its body to Chu Buwen in a flattering manner.

Chu Buwen looked at the size of the mouse, then looked at the size of the golden python, his eyes full of sympathy.

He pushed the mouse into the golden python's mouth, and the golden python immediately became happy. It raised its head and swallowed the food reserves that it had saved for several days in one gulp, and the tip of its tail was twitching happily.

Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen were speechless for a moment.

No wonder the man only uses such a powerful weapon as an elevator even though he has it at home.

He dared to share a room with such a hungry golden python and used it as an elevator. He was so scared that he slept directly by the door, ready to pack up and run away at any time.

Jiang Muyun couldn't tell whether the man was brave or timid.

It could also be that he is simply lacking in brains.

Chu Buwen retreated back to Jiang Muyun. Jiang Muyun glanced at him and Chu Buwen shook his head at Jiang Muyun.

He had just touched it. Not only were the scales hard, but even the skin on the snake's belly had a strange feel, and it didn't seem like something that could be pierced easily.

Chu Buwen even felt that he touched the barbs hidden under the snake's body.

Considering that this golden python could move freely up and down in the elevator shaft, Chu Buwen felt that it should not be an illusion.

It is strong enough to lift an adult male, it is incredibly fast, its skin is tough, and it is docile and doesn't eat people. When these factors are added together, it's easy to tell which way the balance will tip between the two.

Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen exited the underground garage, and did not forget to pick up the large bags by the door.

Chu Buwen also saw a piece of bicycle handlebar sticking out from the pile of debris by the wall.

He walked forward, grabbed the handle and shook it twice, loosening the pile of debris and successfully lifted the bicycle out.

"It looks like it can still be used after some repairs, but the chain is broken and the tire is flat." Chu Buwen came out of the underground garage, helped the car to clean off the dust, pushed it back and forth twice, and his tone was a little regretful.

Without the outer layer of tire, the steel rim will be deformed after riding hard for a short time.

Jiang Muyun carefully observed what the bicycle that had actually survived the tsunami looked like, then propped up his chin and said, "This bike looks familiar. It should be the same brand as the one I own. When I bought my bike, it came with a tire pump and a lot of repair tools. Let's look for it tomorrow. Maybe we can fix it."

Jiang Muyun bought a lot of tire patches and various tools himself. The store did give him a tool kit when he bought the car. If the damage is not serious, the car might really be useful after repairing it.

Seeing the sun setting outside, Chu Buwen said helplessly, "Still staying here tonight?"

Compared to before the apocalypse, the current Nanshi is no different from an empty city.

But that is a relative comparison.

Nanshi has a permanent population of over ten million. Even if only a fraction of that remains, it would still be a million people. If there are people in this building, there may be people in other buildings as well.

They have confirmed that this person is a lone wolf, but they cannot be sure how many permanent survivors there are in other buildings.

If they come to your door to seize your territory and you fail to clear them out completely, they will take revenge on you later. That would be a troublesome matter.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was safer to bet here that the snake would not eat people, or to go out and seize the territory again.

Jiang Muyun sighed: "Let's go upstairs and check the situation first. Bring the car with you, in case we can't find a usable car upstairs, we'll have to rely on them to get back."

After the tsunami, the situation on the fifteenth floor was even worse than the places that were flooded during the heavy rain.

The security door that was originally blocked by the concrete wall collapsed completely and hung half-tilted on the door frame.

There are five doors for the four households on the fifteenth floor, but only the large hollow iron door of Jiang Muyun's house is still intact.

The corridor was full of debris covered with mud and sand. Jiang Muyun even saw half of a bone that had rushed out from somewhere.

Jiang Muyun looked at his own front door and breathed a sigh of relief.

The big iron gate of her house blocked a lot of debris, almost blocking the entrance.

The door was still there, so it made sense that she could dig things out of the house.

Chu Buwen asked, "Did you bring the key?"

Jiang Muyun bent down and looked at the keyhole. He rummaged through his backpack for a while, then took out the key from the space under the cover of the backpack and dug into the keyhole twice. "No, the keyhole is too blocked by mud and sand. I need to find something else to clear it."

Chu Buwen walked around the corridor twice and got a thin wire. The two of them took turns searching for a long time before they could barely insert the key into the keyhole.

Jiang Muyun turned it twice but it didn't move.

Chu Buwen held the wire and asked, "How about we just forget it?"

Jiang Muyun pulled out the key and tried it several times. He felt that the turning range was a bit too large. "I'll try again. It seems that it is just stuck temporarily. It can be opened."

This door was an unexpected surprise. With it, not only could Jiang Muyun's things be taken out, but the two of them also didn't have to run out to find a new place to stay.

Jiang Muyun even wanted to make this his second place of residence.

Living in a cave has its pros and cons. The advantage is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, but if there is another insect plague, the medicines they have may not be enough.

For those little bugs that can get in almost any hole, reinforced concrete is more reliable.

This is also a small part of the reason why she didn't want to touch the golden python.

With the golden python guarding here, even if it doesn't hurt anyone, just showing up can scare away a large number of people who try to settle here.

As a result, Jiang Muyun tried every method. The key was twisted and deformed by her and almost broke in the keyhole, but the door still did not move.

Chu Buwen silently handed her the wire.

Half a minute later, the door opened and a pile of debris leaning against it fell down with a crash.

Jiang Muyun took a few steps back to avoid the dust. He rubbed a small stone that had been hooked from the keyhole back and forth in his hand. "It's not the key that can't open the door. It's the key that forced me to do this illegal thing."

It was already getting dark. Jiang Muyun kicked aside the mess at the door and asked, "Stay with me tonight? Do you want to go back and take a look?"

At least Jiang Muyun's house has a big iron gate as a cover, which is safer than outside.

There was nothing in Chu Buwen's house except for some miscellaneous items, but since he was already here, he had to search it: "Let's go later. This building has probably been searched. There's no rush."

The two men threw the large bag they had picked up from the underground garage into the living room. After taking a look at the bag, which contained drinking water and a small amount of clothes, they didn't pay much attention to it.

After Jiang Muyun entered the house, she took a walk around. Thanks to the countless debris washed away by the flood, the house that she had previously emptied was now in a mess. Various wooden boards and glass fragments were mixed in the soil, and it was impossible to tell that the furniture was missing.

Even though there was not a single door hanging on the door frame in Jiang Muyun's house, Chu Buwen didn't feel comfortable wandering around her house. Seeing Jiang Muyun checking things around the house, Chu Buwen cleared a space in the living room.

After finding a place to stand, the two of them simply filled their stomachs and did not rush to search for things. Instead, they began to spread out their bedding.

It's dark now, and if I want to find something I'll have to use a light. It will be troublesome if someone sees the light.

Anyway, they are not in a hurry, so they might as well rest for a night and still have time to look for it tomorrow.

Jiang Muyun directly made the bed in his bedroom, and took advantage of the last bit of light to find a relatively intact large door panel and block the bedroom door.

"I don't know when I can come back." Jiang Muyun said reluctantly, "Every night I stay is one less night."

Chu Buwen knew that she had feelings for this place: "I'll guard the first half of the night, you should have a good rest tonight."

Jiang Muyun took out a 5L bucket of water from the bag of spoils and took a look. It was quite turbid and didn't look drinkable at all.

Jiang Muyun carried some water into the bedroom and asked Chu Buwen, "Can you handle it? How about we take a few more shifts tonight and take turns to rest?"

Chu Buwen considerately helped her move the wooden board to block the door: "I'm fine, you go to sleep first, I'll call you when the time comes."

After Jiang Muyun confirmed that the wooden board was blocked tightly, she took advantage of the moonlight outside the window and found a bucket from the space. She used the bucket of water she brought in, the rainwater that had been collected in the space before, and a bucket of muddy water, and soaked all the clothes and shoes she was going to take back in the muddy water.

While waiting for the clothes to be soaked in mud, Jiang Muyun cleaned himself briefly, then took out the clothes that had been soaked in mud and spread them on the ground or on the pile of miscellaneous items to dry.

Then she piled her old bicycle and various repair tools in the corner, and evenly smeared a bucket of mud and water on them. Jiang Muyun also took special care of the brakes and chain, and even filled the air pump with mud and water, trying to disguise their condition.

Jiang Muyun did all her movements by sticking to the wall near the door. Even if someone was watching at the door, it would be impossible to see what she was doing.

It's not like she and Chu Buwen have been in the same room together before, so there must be a reason why she suddenly blocked the door.

For example, if she just wants to take a quick shower, then it would be reasonable for her to block the door.

When Chu Buwen was on guard in the first half of the night, he didn't even dare to look towards the bedroom. In the second half of the night, Chu Buwen fell asleep, and Jiang Muyun sat directly at the bedroom door, making it even more impossible for anyone to enter the bedroom and see the things she hung out to dry.

In the morning, seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Muyun put these wrinkled things into the space.

When Chu Buwen woke up and went home to look through his things, Jiang Muyun would take out the things that had been rolled in the mud, shake them, and then pile them together openly.

Jiang Muyun even took the time to deflate the tire.

Chu Buwen's family was not so lucky.

Due to the direction of the water flow, most of the things in his house were washed out of the window, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

Fortunately, his precious parachute cord was found.

The rest were lost, so was he. He had stored quite a few at the shelter. When he didn't have the paracord, he didn't know where to use it, but once he had it, it seemed like it could be used anywhere.

It is used incredibly quickly, but we don’t see how important it is in normal times, and we don’t think of stockpiling large quantities of it when stocking up.

They had only a few bundles of paracord from the Nanshan warehouse, and after setting up the communication system, there wasn't much left. Finding 1504's paracord this time reduced some of the losses, saving them from using the shelter's inventory.

The two men were busy all morning rummaging through things and repairing the car. The tire of the car that Chu Buwen found was successfully repaired, but the pin of the chain was broken and there was no way to connect it.

The chain on the shared bicycle they brought back was not compatible with the mountain bike and could not be replaced.

Anyway, they still have shared bicycles to ride, and out of respect for their friends, neither of them mentioned entering the neighbor's house to search the bicycle.

Although it is the end of the world, people still feel a little uncomfortable when someone breaks into their home and rummages through their things. They have cars to ride, so there is no need to do such a thing.

The car that was found at Jiang Muyun's house was in good condition, except for a flat tire.

Chu Buwen had no doubt that there was anything wrong with the car escaping the flood unscathed.

The reason why this car is Jiang Muyun's dream car is because people still ride it across mountains and rivers after the end of the world.

And as energy becomes more and more precious, more and more people are rummaging around looking for bicycles and off-road tires. At one point, the situation got so bad that some people offered a reward.

Since people will still be riding it a few years after the end of the world, isn't it normal that it can still be used after being soaked in water?

Originally they were planning to take some water with them on the way back, but with the supply from the underground garage, they didn't have to go through the western suburbs mountains on their way back.

As for the two tattered shared bicycles, Chu Buwen had to continue riding one, while the other one and the one without a chain had their wheels removed and left in the pile of junk at Jiang Muyun's house.

In case Qin Shiwu and the others don’t find the car when they come back, the one hidden here can still be used.

They can also take a look on the way back. If they find a suitable chain, they can install it on the car again.

It was already past noon when they finished all this. The two were afraid that they would not be able to return before dark, so they decided to stay here for another night.

The next day, Jiang Muyun deliberately left the door open when leaving.

With all the sand and dirt outside, it's actually very difficult to completely cover up any traces of someone being here. Instead of spending all that effort to cover it up, it's better to just leave the door open and tell others that we've searched this place.

Anyway, there is really nothing good in her house.

The only two cars that could be used were those, and they had removed the wheels.

Otherwise, if someone came and saw that the door of Jiang Muyun's house was still locked, thinking that there were some good things inside, they would directly pry the door open. Jiang Muyun would be heartbroken.

With the experience they had on the way here, the two of them returned quickly.

We set out as soon as the sky was light. At this time, everyone went out to search for supplies while it was still cool, and robbers would not start work so early in the morning.

At noon, when everyone finished searching and were about to go home to escape the heat, the robbers began to look for opportunities, and Jiang Muyun and the other man had already left the city.

When they returned, they took the main road they had previously avoided.

The bloody smell on the road had almost dissipated, replaced by a familiar stench of decay.

There were piles of flies and mosquitoes on the road that had gathered around the smell. Jiang Muyun and the other person sped through the middle of the road, scaring the flies and mosquitoes away, but they gathered again in just a few seconds.

At noon, the two found a long-abandoned gas station to temporarily escape the heat, preparing to continue their journey after the hottest part of the day.

Jiang Muyun suddenly paused while pushing the car against the wall.

Chu Buwen handed her a bottle of water: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Muyun took the water, moved the car to the side, squatted down and said, "There's a grass growing in the crack of the wall."

It was quite small and incredibly tender, with its tip poking out from the crack in the wall. Any slight breeze would blow it around.

Chu Buwen also came over to watch: "Usually at this time, the heroine would save a mouthful of water to feed the grass."

Jiang Muyun poured a bottle cap of water and handed it to Chu Buwen.

Chu Buwen was flattered and drank without thinking.

Before Chu Buwen could say thank you, Jiang Muyun said, "Why don't you go to the wall and do a handstand for a while?"

Chu Buwen was bewildered: "Why should I stand upside down?"

Jiang Muyun said, "Didn't you ask me to feed the grass?"

Chu Buwen: "What does feeding grass have to do with me doing a handstand?"

Jiang Muyun touched his hairy head and said, "Because I suspect there's grass growing in your head. If I hadn't stood upside down, how could the saliva I just spit out have flowed into your head and fed the grass?"

If there are plants that have the ability to emerge in such an environment and grow lushly, do they deserve to be fed by them?

Maybe one leaf can poison five Chu Buwen to death.

Chu Buwen was unhappy: "You are such a jerk! I was trying to get you to be the heroine, but how come you don't have any literary knowledge at all?"

Jiang Muyun's hands trembled with laughter. "Excuse me, but may I ask which literary master taught you to give people the aura of a heroine?"

Chu Buwen swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and muttered something: "It's better to believe it."

After the two of them finished arguing, they studied the grass again, trying to determine whether it was a mutant plant.

I looked for a long time but couldn't see any result. Suddenly, the sky became cloudy for two seconds, and then a gust of wind blew over, bringing a cool feeling.

Jiang Muyun stood up and said, "I feel like it's about time... huh?"

Jiang Muyun looked at the dial, and Chu Buwen asked, "Half past one?"

Jiang Muyun nodded.

Their watches are indeed not accurate, but generally speaking they are not much off.

From one to two o'clock, this time should be when the sun is at its hottest, and the time always matches.

But at this time today, they could clearly feel the temperature had dropped, no longer as scorching as it was at noon.

It has only been a few days since the beginning of the new spring. Judging from the experience of Jiang Muyun and the others, there should not be a significant drop in temperature so soon.

Jiang Muyun looked at the grass swaying in the wind in the crack of the wall, then thought about the golden python in the underground garage that was being used as an elevator. She asked Chu Buwen, "Guess how long it will take us to get back to the cave if we set out now?"

A few clouds floated in from nowhere in the usually clear sky. Some of them were lively and active and occasionally blocked the sun, giving the area of ​​Nanshi a brief period of shade.

Looking at the sunlight outside, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, Chu Buwen pondered for a moment: "I think it depends on whether we brought raincoats, and the quality of the car."

He definitely didn't bring a raincoat, so even if Jiang Muyun had one, he would have to say he didn't bring one.

When there was a drought, I went out with a raincoat in my bag. At least three green grasslands grew in my mind, the mutated and poisonous ones.

Jiang Muyun looked up at the clouds in the sky. They were still white and not many in number.

She asked Chu Buwen: "How about a bet?"

Bet that this rain is not acid rain, or that they can get back to the cave before the acid rain falls.

If you lose the bet, the worst that can happen is that you can just find a place to shelter from the rain on the road, just like them at a gas station.

If you win the bet, you won't have to sleep in the open air, and you won't have to encounter poisonous creatures that are jumping around after being rained on on your way back.

This is one of the aftereffects of global disconnection after the end of the world.

They had no idea when the acid rain started in Nanshi.

Jiang Muyun unscrewed the water bottle and poured a bottle cap of water on the grass in the crack of the wall.

Chu Buwen: "Blessing the heroine's halo?"

Jiang Muyun looked at Chu Buwen and handed him the water bottle: "Want more?"

"Add." Chu Buwen didn't even pause.

After blessing themselves with halos, the two of them set off on their journey in high spirits, and they wanted to pedal their bicycle wheels into Hot Wheels.

Halfway through the journey, Chu Buwen suddenly remembered, "Aren't the protagonists all born with a calamity constitution? Wouldn't it be unlucky if we both collapsed?"
