Chapter 157 Sign-in - Let's calm down?
As the night grew shorter and the sky began to lighten, the RV sped up.
As the light gradually brightened, the temperature continued to rise.
Besides the looted gas stations, all that remained by the roadside was the distorted heatwave.
The group chose a dense grove of trees by the roadside as their temporary resting place.
Lu Nange packed up the RV, and as soon as everyone stepped into the grove, 'Gangzi' excitedly flew into the woods.
A moment later, "Gangzi" let out a series of excited "caw caw" sounds.
It flew towards the crowd triumphantly, carrying a large, fat, and still wriggling caterpillar in its beak.
Wen Qing, Gu Wan, and Luo Xingyou retreated one after another.
Lu Nange felt a chill run down her spine and made a gesture of refusal in front of her chest with her hands: "Gangzi, don't come any closer."
Gangzi slammed on the brakes, and the caterpillar fell to the ground with a "plop".
It flapped its wings pitifully: "Beautiful lady! Caw caw caw caw!"
[My beauty. You've been feeding me all this time. This is my favorite food, and I wanted to share it with you.]
Lu Nange and the other three took two steps back in unison. Lu Nange waved her hands frantically: "Thanks for the invitation! You eat it yourself, you eat it yourself!"
"Snap!" A vine whipped through the air, leaving a blur, scooped up a wriggling caterpillar, and shoved it directly into Gangzi's wide-open beak: "Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"
[Stupid bird! If you're going to try to curry favor, at least pick a decent gift! Quickly take this thing away; the owner doesn't like it.]
Gangzi dejectedly picked up the caterpillar and flew away, not forgetting to glance back with a mournful look.
[If the beauty doesn't like you, then I won't eat either.]
With a flap of its wings, the poor caterpillar was instantly frozen into a crystal-clear ice sculpture, which crashed with a "bang" onto the open ground ten meters away.
Gu Wan caught a glimpse of two suspicious figures hanging on a tree trunk to the side and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh, are you two... measuring tree rings?"
With two "whoosh" sounds, He Zhuo and Ji Xian slid down from the tree in a flurry, with a few pieces of bark still stuck to their clothes.
Ji Xian patted his moss-covered sleeves and said seriously, "Let's see if we can hug this tree with both hands."
He Zhu shook off the leaves on his body and added matter-of-factly, "That's right, can't we study the plants of the apocalypse? Gu, Wan, Wan."
Gu Wan crossed her arms and glanced at the two of them sideways, her lips twitching: "Fine, fine, you can say it's sunny at night."
Gu Qi glanced at the increasingly scorching sun and said, "Stop joking around, the temperature is getting higher and higher, let's hurry up and go."
There were no ready-made paths in the dense forest. Chi Yi walked in the lead, manipulating the vines to part the bushes on both sides.
On the makeshift path that was forcibly cleared, there were still remnants of sap that had seeped out from broken plants.
The group trudged forward, one step at a time, until they found a relatively flat open space.
After parking the RV, the vines and branches manipulated the leaves of nearby trees to surround it.
On the roof of the vehicle, Gangzi lay with his wings spread out, while Zhizhi sat on a vine not far from the roof, swinging his 'legs'.
As everyone gradually woke up, the pot of beef brisket on the makeshift stove was already stewed until tender, and the rich aroma of meat filled the RV.
He Zhuo's nose twitched wildly from time to time.
After a hearty meal, the RV set off again.
After two days of continuous travel, the dense forests on both sides of the road were replaced by the dark yellow seawater.
The absurdity of the apocalypse lies in the fact that while there is no shortage of water, there is a shortage of clean water.
The black, yellow, and foul-smelling water is still drinkable, but it remains bitter after boiling, and long-term consumption can cause internal organ pain.
Lu Nange gazed at the sea outside the window and suddenly asked Youyou: "[Youyou, is it because we drank this water that we'll turn into zombies no matter if we're bitten or scratched by zombies or not?]"
You changed the subject: [Ding-dong~ Host's emotional fluctuations detected! How about making a purchase? Check in to calm your mood?]
Lu Nange gritted her teeth: [Sign in!]
[King Crab +3, Hairy Crab +20 (includes a crab-related tool kit), Swimming Crab +20... Already added to the system inventory.]
Lu Nange: [Seafood, I'm in! Keep checking in! I'll check in all the ones I've accumulated over the past two days.]
[Bass +3, Ribbonfish +3, Tuna +3, Yellow Croaker +3, Bombay Rinseir +3... have been automatically added to the system inventory.]
Bluefin tuna +3 (already portioned into a sashimi platter), sea urchin +5, sea cucumber +5, squid +3... automatically added to the system inventory.
......
At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the rusty "Welcome to Haishi" road sign finally came into view.
The reddish-brown rust meandered down like dried blood.
The torrential rain caused seawater to overflow, soaking the road surface in saline-alkali and silt. Even after days of scorching sun, the road surface still turned grayish-white.
The cracked and collapsed road surface made it impossible for the RV to move.
Everyone had to get off the bus and walk...
They filled in soil and vines along the way, and with Lu Nange constantly taking out construction waste from her space to fill the deep pits, they finally made it into the city.
When we entered the city, it was almost eight o'clock, and the scorching sun was already baking the city.
If they hadn't been wearing temperature-controlled clothing, they probably would have all suffered from heatstroke.
