Chapter 2323
In the knee-high weeds, Xue Ling bent over and pushed aside the winter melon leaves to search for something.
No one takes care of them, but the seeds of vegetables, fruits and melons left over from the past still sprout, grow, bloom and bear fruit in these fields year after year.
Xue Ling searched very attentively, walking further and further away. When she finally found a large green-skinned winter melon, she heard the sound of a car stopping on the road in the distance.
It was a truck with a lot of fighting noises when it was moving and stopping.
Xue Ling stood up holding the winter melon and quickened his pace to walk back the way he had come.
She and Wen Jiuze passed by a small town on the highway this morning. She saw many vegetable fields nearby and decided to find some fresh vegetables.
As for Wen Jiuze, she sent him to look for clothes at several nearby houses.
He used to live a very haphazard life, wearing only two T-shirts to alternate between, one black and one white.
She tore one of her clothes in the zoo, and she also tore many holes in another one, making it look like a piece of clothing with holes. The only T-shirt that was still wearable was the museum co-branded T-shirt that she brought back.
Xue Ling now has more clothes to wear than him.
Wen Jiuze, who was rummaging for clothes in an abandoned house on the roadside, heard the noise outside earlier than Xue Ling.
He dropped the clothes in his hands, looked down from the second-floor window, and then went downstairs carrying a bag.
Three men got out of the truck, two middle-aged men and a young man. There was also a young girl in the car, leaning on the window and talking to them.
Several people were chatting about the car that Wen Jiuze parked nearby.
"Wow, this car is pretty good. Is it modified?"
"There's no one here, maybe it's an abandoned vehicle, Dad, Uncle, how about we drive away?"
"Don't be silly. It's obvious that this is not an abandoned vehicle. Maybe someone went into the house to look for something."
It was at this time that Wen Jiuze came out.
He glanced at the people present, opened the car door, threw the bag in his hand into the car, slammed the door shut, and leaned against the car.
He was more than half a head taller than the other three men present, and the muscles in his arms and chest showed that he often fought.
Apart from his impressive physique and tough-to-deal-with temperament, just the sight of the gun and dagger on him was enough to make several people give up the idea of robbing him.
The young man who had just suggested driving the car away suppressed the greed in his eyes and walked to his car.
The oldest middle-aged man was obviously much more tactful. He looked at Wen Jiuze, smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, asking for information: "Where are you from, young man?"
Wen Jiuze didn't answer and waved his hand to refuse.
When you are alone outside, you have to be on guard against others. He has encountered people who spiked cigarettes before.
"If you don't know the place, just drive randomly." Wen Jiuze said.
The middle-aged man took back the cigarette, lit it up and started smoking, and said with a smile: "I see from the direction you are going, are you going to Pingqu Base or Chuan'an Base?"
Going this way, you can reach two different bases on the left and right.
He briefly introduced the people on his side, "My brother and I, my two children, came from the Chuan'an base and are going to scavenge."
Entering an abandoned city to look for usable supplies is now called scavenging.
There are quite a few people like this, and usually a few people form a team, usually a family unit.
The team in front of us is just searching for small things in the outskirts of a town or city, and will not go deep into the city.
Wen Jiuze said casually: "Maybe he will go to the Ping District base."
The middle-aged man asked with a smile: "Are you from Pingqu Base? We have been to Pingqu Base before, but I don't think we have seen you before."
There are quite a few people in the base, but not all of them dare to or have the conditions to go out. Most people still work in and around the base.
The young man in front of me seems to be traveling alone, but he has a car like this and enough gasoline to drive around. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
As people who travel so often, they are well-informed and it is unlikely that they have not heard of him.
"I stayed in the Ping District base for some time." Wen Jiuze began to feel impatient.
His eyes swept over the middle-aged man who seemed friendly but was actually a little tense, the other thin and dark middle-aged man standing nearby with a wary look, and the two silent young men and women.
Meeting people outside is something that requires more vigilance than encountering zombies, because there is a high possibility that you will encounter murder or robbery.
Although there are four of them and Wen Jiuze has only one, it seems that Wen Jiuze is weaker and at a disadvantage, but the four-member team does not want a conflict.
Wen Jiuze seemed more relaxed than they did, and asked, "Are you planning to pick up trash here? Or are you just going to rest here and leave?"
They had been around here before and there was nothing good there. If they hadn't seen the car on the side of the road, they wouldn't have stopped to take a look.
The middle-aged man laughed twice and said, "It's getting late. Let's get ready to leave now."
He asked the other two to get in the car, and the blue truck quickly drove away from Wen Jiuze.
Wen Jiuze watched the car drive away. The young girl leaned out of the window to look back, and seeing him still standing there watching, she was so scared that she quickly retracted her head.
After the car drove away, Wen Jiuze turned around and walked to the back of the house.
He walked quickly and stopped suddenly when he walked out the back door.
Xue Ling was squatting against the back wall, holding a large winter melon in her arms, and looking up at him.
He had been indifferent to those people just now, but when he saw Xue Ling hiding here, he smiled subconsciously.
But the smile faded immediately.
He was not big before, and I don’t know if it’s because he turned into a zombie and shrunk, but he is squatting here in a ball, looking a bit pitiful.
"Are you scared when you heard someone was coming? Are you hiding here?"
He took the winter melon, pulled Xue Ling up, and put his arms around her shoulders and gave her a gentle hug.
Xue Ling didn't have her writing board with her, so she pointed to the road over there, and Wen Jiuze said, "The man has left, it's all right."
He walked forward with Xue Ling. Looking at the winter melon he held in one hand, he suddenly complained in a low voice: "I don't like eating winter melon."
Xue Ling glared. It was good enough to have something to eat, but you dared to be picky about food!
Seeing that he was about to take her out the door and into the car, Xue Ling hurriedly pulled his clothes to remind him.
Wen Jiuze said: "The clothes are too small, I can't wear them."
Xue Ling didn't believe it, so Wen Jiuze followed her into the house. Xue Ling picked up a T-shirt that he had casually thrown on the pile of clothes, spread it out on Wen Jiuze and compared it to him.
It seems a little small, but the clothes are elastic, so maybe I can wear it.
Wen Jiuze took off his clothes with one hand and changed into the one in her hand.
Xue Ling tried not to laugh. It was like an adult secretly wearing children's clothes and tying them tightly. It was so silly and funny.
This one didn't work, so she found a middle-aged man's shirt and Wen Jiuze put it on. However, the front of the shirt couldn't be pulled up and the sleeves were too short.
Xue Ling: Really, what’s the point of being so tall? I can’t even find clothes that fit me.
They returned to the car, and Xue Ling saw a bag on the seat. Inside was colorful clothes, hers.
He didn't find his own clothes, but he found new clothes for her.
Bring out a chiffon dress suitable for a middle-aged woman with good temperament.
Wen Jiuze said: "This place is closer to the base where people are, and you may run into people frequently. Next time, just sit in the car and ignore anyone who talks to you."
Xue Ling also knew that she couldn't be discovered as a zombie.
She had already prepared herself fully armed. As long as she changed into long-sleeved shirts and long pants, put on gloves and a hat, covered all exposed skin, and didn't get too close to people, there should be no problem.
"That's right, you can change into this outfit. Wear this long-sleeved base, this chiffon skirt on the outside, and then put on black stockings..."
Xue Ling knew that his aesthetic taste was as bad as shit, but she was still shocked by his matching.
How did he come up with the idea of wearing a high-necked, long-sleeved dress over a chiffon skirt?
His aesthetic taste is so different from that of ordinary people. Is he a designer of a luxury brand?
Moreover, those were not black leggings, but a pair of women's autumn pants.
Xue Ling rejected Wen Jiuze's clothing combination and changed into the long-sleeved trousers she found last time, and covered herself with a larger sprint jacket that could cover half of her face.
Fortunately, zombies are not afraid of heat, otherwise she would have suffered from heatstroke if she put on this outfit.
Wen Jiuze took out a few pairs of gloves for her to choose from.
Xue Ling opened the car window, coldly threw out the pair of light blue strawberry wool gloves, and put on a pair of ordinary black cycling gloves.
"And a hat."
There was no choice this time, only a Mori girl-style straw hat with girly little floral ribbons and lace flowers on it.
Although she felt it was too insane to wear such clothes and hat in the car, Xue Ling still endured it.
"glasses."
This pair of sunglasses is probably the only accessory that Wen Jiuze has found that satisfies her.
Xue Ling happily put on a pair of big sunglasses on her nose to cover her dark red zombie eyes, and looked at herself in the small mirror in the car with a good feeling.
I haven't felt so human in a long time.
Wen Jiuze also put on sunglasses, the same style as hers.
In fact, they are rather rustic sunglasses. Some people look like blind fortune tellers when they wear them, but when Wen Jiuze wears them, he looks cool and handsome, like some retro fashion item.
On the way ahead, they indeed met several more people.
However, Wen Jiuze did not deal with them. He usually drove past them directly and ignored anyone who approached him.
Wen Jiuze was preparing to go to Ping District Base to replenish some supplies. This was the base where his cousin Dai Ying and his aunt and uncle lived. He had accidentally met them here before and stayed there for a while.
The convoy that Dai Ying was in was not the first convoy that Wen Jiuze had followed.
When he was looking for people, he went to dozens of bases, large and small, and followed many convoys.
However, he had a cold relationship with every team he followed. They simply worked in exchange for supplies, and they would go their separate ways when there was a disagreement.
Dai Yingzai's convoy went to Anxi to move machinery, but was stopped by people from the Qiuzhuang base and returned empty-handed. According to the time, they should have returned by now.
Wen Jiuze didn't want to look for them. He drove the car to the gate of Ping District Base, ready to get out of the car to exchange some things and leave.
There is an exchange place near the entrance of the base, where passing convoys can trade with each other, so as to avoid foreign convoys stopping at the base and causing trouble.
Before getting off the car, Xue Ling took out a bag from the space under the back seat and gave it to him.
Wen Jiuze saw the words "Anxi Wenkang Hospital" on the bag, and then looked at another medicine bag on the back seat.
It turned out that the bag contained allergy medicine, sleeping pills and psychiatric drugs, which were specially given to him, and there was another bag of other things hidden inside.
"How much medicine did you take that time?"
Xue Ling said that was all. She packed all kinds of medicines into this bag randomly, and she didn't know if they could be used.
However, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines now, so I should be able to get a good price for it.
Xue Ling said generously: Use them all to exchange for money!
Wen Jiuze, who was now a gigolo again, got off the car with the reward from the rich sister.
