Chapter 19: Parting Ways
On the twentieth day of the apocalypse, the weather gradually became warmer after entering May, and the number of flies and mosquitoes gradually increased.
When summer comes, the most annoying thing is mosquitoes. Xiao Luo is better. Even if he is bitten, the bumps will go away quickly. Xuanxuan is different. Her skin will swell up as soon as she is bitten. Mosquito repellent bracelets, mosquito patches, toilet water, eating fried scorpions, and wearing Chinese medicine mosquito repellent sachets are all useless. It is okay to rub garlic water or light salt water immediately after being bitten. If you don’t find it in time and wait until the swelling becomes hard, you can only use the ultimate weapon, apply mupirocin ointment locally.
Fortunately, Rong Xianxian discovered a new method. She crushed the vitamins into powder, dissolved it in water and sprayed it on the body. The effect was very good and safe.
After confirming that it was indeed effective, she excitedly bought ten bottles of vitamins at once. They were very cheap anyway. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she might have to go to the pharmacy next door. Not to mention anything else, she must stock up on some anti-infection drugs such as antibiotics. If she got injured on the way to the relocation in the near future, it would be much more convenient to have these medicines.
"Bang, bang, bang", "da da da", dense or scattered, intermittent gunshots rang out from time to time. Gunshots can be heard frequently in normal times, but never as densely and for such a long time as they are now.
After Jiang Jie's wound healed smoothly and no more dressing changes were needed, Rong Xianxian's home returned to peace. At this moment, a series of urgent knocks on the door were heard, "Knock, knock, knock."
When I opened the door, it was Wang Lin.
"Sister Rong, did you hear the noise?" Wang Lin asked impatiently.
"I heard it. The army is dispatched." Rong Xianxian shook the telescope in her hand.
"The army, then we..." Wang Lin's face was full of excitement, but Rong Xianxian waved her hand and interrupted him.
"I know what you want to ask. You have some ideas. Tell everyone. Tell everyone who wants to know or has any plans to come and talk." She didn't want to explain to them one by one.
Seeing Wang Lin hesitating, Rong Xianxian said speechlessly, "What are you thinking if you don't go and pass on the message? Is there something else?"
"Sister Rong, weren't you unwilling to let others come to your house before?" Wang Lin felt inexplicably uncomfortable. It was obvious that Sister Rong only trusted him before, but now, it seemed that Cui Lie and Jiang Jie were more popular than him.
"You mean my vigilance has been lowered. Isn't that because you are here?" Rong Xianxian looked at him and said with a smile.
Of course, the most important reason is that her strength has been significantly improved. The tempering of many battles has not only improved her combat power, but also made her more confident. Compared with her previous life when she did not have a decent weapon until her death, now Rong Xianxian is not only about to break through in cultivation, but if she is not deliberately suppressed, she can gather Qi to rush her meridians at any time.
The scimitar breaks the defense, the Soul-Calming Ling confuses the enemy, Xuanxuan has the Phoenix Umbrella to protect her, and Xiao Luo is making rapid progress in martial arts. Plus with Wang Lin and Cui Lie, maybe they can move around in the vicinity.
After a while, a group of people came in. Wang Lin and his four companions arrived on the third day, and Cui Lie and his six companions arrived on the fifth day, a total of ten people, all young men. They have cooperated with each other in the past half month. Except for Ren Cheng who was kicked out of the team and another coward who withdrew automatically, the others have gone to battle almost every day. Compared to the embarrassment when they first arrived half a month ago, these people now obviously have more bloodiness and calm temperament.
Everyone practices the Light Body Art and the Soul Attracting Art, but they start practicing at different times. In addition, everyone's aptitude and understanding are different, so the progress of individual practice varies greatly.
"I guess everyone heard the gunshots, right? Let's stop talking nonsense and come and take a look!" Rong Xianxian handed the telescope to Jiang Jie, who came in first, and pointed to the north window.
"So many military vehicles, cool. That's the Mengshi armored vehicle. Oh my god, there's also the Tiejia. Over there is the Xiaolong. Oh my god, it's so cool... What are you grabbing? I haven't finished looking at it yet." Jiang Jie sighed as he looked at it, and Wang Qirui snatched the telescope away.
"Wow, that's so cool, it would be great if I could have one. Oh, I saw a very pretty girl, her sword can emit fire. Hey, don't grab it." The telescope was snatched away by Ren Cheng again.
It took nearly half an hour for all ten people to finish watching it.
After their excitement died down, Rong Xianxian took back the telescope and smiled.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Xia Kai covered his eyes with his hands and sat on the sofa, saying in a funny way, "Sister Rong, don't smile at me, my little heart can't stand it."
As soon as Xia Kai finished speaking, the atmosphere finally returned to normal. Everyone found a seat and sat down. Twenty days had passed since the end of the world. It was not a long-term solution for so many people to eat up all the food. Everyone knew that taking care of so many people would almost exhaust the supplies in Rong Xianxian's home. This was even with the monster meat as a supplement. The seasoning, especially salt, was reduced a little bit, and now there was no salt for barbecue.
Rong Xianxian hit Xia Kai and said, "You are just naughty."
"As you can see, our Chinese army has arrived. The direction surrounded by military vehicles is Chongzhou University of Light Industry. The army is rescuing the teachers and students of the school. This university is only 3 kilometers away from our community. With such a short distance, it should be no problem to drive there with our current strength. If we don't go there, we will also start to go out in batches to replenish supplies from today. What ideas do you have? Tell us!"
Spiritual energy revived, monsters fell from the sky, and communications were cut off, making people isolated from each other. In fact, the army was only slightly affected.
"Of course we should drive to the army. The army will definitely protect us and provide us with a good place to stay." Ren Cheng said impatiently.
After saying that, seeing that no one responded, he nudged Ren Tian's arm and said, "Is that right, A Tian?"
"Yeah." Ren Tian looked at Ren Cheng with an inexplicable expression.
"Sister Rong, I promised to work hard for you for a year. Wherever you go, I will go." Jiang Jie smiled, grinning.
"Sister Rong, I was hoping to take advantage of you and go back to the capital together. My parents are there, you can't leave me behind." Wang Lin looked at Jiang Jie with some resentment when he saw that he was ahead of him.
"I'll go with you." Cui Lie has always been a man of few words, simple and straightforward, and everyone understands what he means.
"I want to go home." Liao Yong said in a muffled voice.
Among the five members of Ren Tian's team, only Wang Qirui expressed his willingness to stand with Rong Xianxian, while among Wang Lin and Cui Lie's team, only Liao Yong wanted to join the army and then find an opportunity to return home.
Ren Tian looked at Rong Xianxian and said thank you seriously. Now the five of them were much stronger than when they first arrived. Each of them had a handy weapon in his hand. In addition, the battles with monsters had become easier and easier in recent days. The army was not far away, so they, including Ren Cheng, did not take the distance seriously.
After hearing Ren Tian's thanks, and thinking that Ren Tian had finally given up on taking her share of the elementary talisman-making book, she went to the cloakroom to find a few large mountaineering bags, filled them with a few compressed towel blankets and a few sets of men's clothes and gave them to him.
"We will take you out of the community. I don't know if there are any customers at the convenience store at the entrance of the community. You can buy some food and water there. Although basic living should be guaranteed in the army, it is better to be prepared." It's a good time to go out and try it out, and there are many things that need to be replenished.
