Chapter 50 Disguised Passenger
"What are you talking about?"
Although no one else was at home, Jiang Qian and Ren Ru were also busy.
After washing the dishes and giving Jiang Mingchen a mobile phone so that he could study online, the two of them got into the driver's cab.
Although there are only two stations now and the train takes only about two hours to go round trip, Jiang Dong can handle it alone, but Jiang Qian and Ren Ru do not intend to put all the burden on him and his father. They also want to do their part for the family.
After practicing simulation in the cab for more than an hour, they were wondering when the people who had gone out would come back, when they saw a car coming from a distance.
Both of them felt nervous, looked at each other, and quickly got out of the cab to find the best angle to watch.
As the car got closer, Ren Ru became more and more nervous.
"Who is this? Did my parents find a car and drive back?" She muttered to herself, but quickly denied her previous guess.
"No, our family doesn't need a car. My parents probably won't drive back. So who will it be?"
"Sister, is this the person from Xiaozhao Village who exchanged things with us last time?"
Ren Ru looked at Jiang Qian and asked.
Jiang Qian squinted her eyes for a while and shook her head. "I don't know. They didn't drive this car last time. I couldn't see the faces of the people inside clearly, so I'm not sure."
Ren Ru became even more anxious after hearing this, "Then what should we do?"
Is this person an enemy or a friend?
Both men were away at home, so it was just the two of them and a little kid under eight. What if something happened...
And my parents-in-law and Dongzi, are they safe out there?
Jiang Qian had just communicated with the system last night, and she felt more confident.
"Don't panic. As long as we don't get out of the car, even the bad guys won't be able to hurt us."
As for his parents and Dongzi...
As she was thinking this, she saw two small electric cars flash out from behind the tail of the car. They were the two that had just been moved out of the car that morning.
And the person they were worried about was riding in the car.
Ren Ru also saw the person following the car, and all her previous worries were suppressed by the scene before her.
Her mouth opened in surprise. "What's going on? Why are my parents and Dongzi following the car? Did they run into someone they know or a friend?"
She guessed and asked Jiang Qian's opinion, "Should we go down and take a look?"
This situation really makes people feel confused and at a loss.
Jiang Qian, who knew her parents' personalities well, shook her head and said, "Don't go down yet."
Not to mention that my parents probably don’t have any friends here, even if they do, they would never put their lives before the safety of our family.
She guessed that the three of them must have encountered something unexpected while digging wild vegetables, which led to the current situation.
Just as the two were hesitating, the car had stopped not far from the train, and the two electric cars following behind also stopped.
When the people in the car got out, Jiang Qian saw three familiar faces among them. Her mind raced and she suddenly understood.
She patted Ren Ru's shoulder and said with a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, they're fine."
Ren Ru was a little bit unconvinced at first, but when she saw the three people getting off the electric bike and walking towards the car next to them, and saw the two familiar faces, the last trace of doubt was dispelled.
It seems like he is someone you know?
The people from Xiaozhao Village who got out of the car did not expect that what Liang Jing and Qi Hang had said before was actually true.
After getting off the train, everyone rubbed their eyes as they looked at the train in front of them.
It's not an illusion! There really is a car!
After the surprise, indescribable joy surged in my heart.
Since this car exists, can they really leave here?
I don’t know what Qingshan said when he came back last time, but starting from yesterday, Brother Wen and Brother Wu started leading them to clean up the zombies in Dazhao Village.
The old MP3s and cell phones collected from the whole village, as well as the bloody offal left over from the chickens slaughtered at the airport, were all charged, packed in bags, and thrown into Dazhao Village, and then driven over by construction vehicles.
Although the scene was a bit bloody, sitting on the high construction vehicle, there was indeed no danger during the cleanup process.
They thought they had to wait until all the zombies in the nearby villages were cleared and the road was open before they could go out, but they didn't expect to receive such a gift package from the sky!
If they could really leave in this flying car, they wouldn't have to take the risk of clearing out the zombies!
Zhao Qingshan looked at the car in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.
It was obvious that he was the one who complained the most when we were in the car just now, but now he is the one who is most excited when seeing the car!
Of course, he was the most eager to leave the village and clean up the zombies!
He walked around the car and was about to ask everyone to go up and take a look when he saw Brother Wen and a few others gathered around a sign looking at it.
"What's wrong?" He leaned over to take a look.
Zhao Wen adjusted his glasses, pursed his lips, and said nothing, but the people around him responded to him.
"This train seems to be different from what we expected. It can only travel between here and City B Railway Station."
It was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the flame of hope that had just emerged in Zhao Qingshan's heart was extinguished.
He looked to the side. Liang Jing and Qi Hang noticed his gaze and quickly shook their heads, explaining, "As we said before, we only saw this section of the route."
But at that time, the villagers didn’t even believe in the existence of the train, let alone pay attention to what they said.
Everyone was very frustrated because what they thought was the best escape route was blocked.
"So what should we do now? Do we still need to take a bus to City B?"
"Why are you going to City B? Didn't you hear what they said? There must be more zombies in their city than in our village. Are you taking everyone to seek death?"
"Are we just going to miss this great opportunity?" the person who had suggested it said with some regret. "Why don't we extend the route a little longer? It could at least take us to the base in the city!"
The others remained silent, obviously feeling the same way.
Although the train is nice, the only place they can go is probably even more dangerous than where they are now, which is a bit...
"Okay, don't be depressed."
Zhao Wen turned his eyes away from the bus stop. "Just because there aren't other routes now doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Since this bus exists, let's get to know it first. What if other routes are opened in the future?"
That’s true.
Didn’t those two guys say before that this car appeared suddenly?
Everyone thought it made sense and followed Zhao Wen to the train door.
Because they knew in advance that the car was powered by magic crystals, they had prepared a lot of them when they arrived. It happened that they were clearing out zombies yesterday, and with the reminder from the Jiang family they had met before, they consciously collected some and had a large stockpile.
Thinking of the Jiang family, Zhao Wen paused.
He turned around to look at the three people following him and asked with a smile, "Uncle Jiang, we're planning to get in the car and go take a look. What about you guys?"
Jiang Weimin originally wanted to go back to the car. After all, they knew that there was no safer place than the car.
"We also want to go up and see it, but..." He was a little embarrassed, "Can you lend us some magic crystals to buy tickets? We didn't bring them when we came out before. I'll return them later."
"sure."
They had plenty of it, so they weren't stingy. Besides, they didn't know what the situation was with the car, so having someone following them would give them more courage.
Zhao Wen signaled the people around him to take out the cleaned magic crystals from the bag and gave them two handfuls, about fifteen or sixteen in total.
"Are these enough?" the person who distributed the magic crystals to them said generously, "If not, there are more. We have plenty here."
This is the thing we have the most when clearing out zombies these days.
“Enough, enough!”
Jiang Weimin shared the magic crystal in his hand with his wife and son, then bought a ticket and got on the bus.
The moment they stepped on the train, all three of them felt very curious.
Although they have made the train their home, this is the first time they have boarded it as passengers.
The people who got on the bus before them were already wandering around the bus curiously.
Huang Liping saw that no one in the car was paying attention to them and whispered, "Do we really have to pretend to be passengers and go to City B?"
Jiang Weimin nodded. "Qianqian and Xiaoru haven't come out yet. It seems they already know our plan. Don't worry."
"How could I not be worried?" Huang Liping said with a bitter face, glancing at her son. "I should have known not to let Dongzi go with us to pick wild vegetables!"
As a result, the most experienced driver can only be a passenger, and there are only two people with no experience in the front cab.
Huang Liping became worried just thinking about it. What if the people from Xiaozhao Village really wanted to take a bus to City B? Would the two of them be able to handle it?
Although Jiang Weimin didn't say it out loud, he was also worried, but he could only comfort himself and his wife.
"It's okay. Everything has a first time. They've learned it before, so they'll definitely be able to do it!"
"What are you talking about?"
A voice suddenly interrupted, startling the three members of the Jiang family.
Turning around, they saw Zhao Qingshan walking towards them.
He looked at them in confusion, "Uncle Jiang, what are you talking about? Why don't you find a seat?"
Jiang Weimin smiled awkwardly, "I'm talking about my daughter. If we don't go back home after picking wild vegetables, I don't know if she will worry."
"Oh, yes, the sister from last time didn't come this time." Zhao Qingshan then realized that although there were still three people from the Jiang family this time, the people who came out were different from before.
He looked at Huang Liping and asked tentatively based on her age, "Is this your aunt?"
Jiang Dong nodded, and Huang Liping also smiled at him.
"I was so focused on the train that I didn't notice." Zhao Qingshan smiled sheepishly and asked, "So the sister was alone where you parked the car?"
"Not really, there are other people at home." Jiang Weimin shook his head, not wanting to say too much. "Have you all found a seat?"
"Found it." Zhao Qingshan saw that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't mind. After all, strictly speaking, they were not very familiar with each other, so it was normal to be a little cautious.
He pointed behind him, "We're all in that area. What about you? Which row are you in?"
"Row 11." Jiang Weimin glanced at the small card in his hand. "It should be somewhere in the middle."
Sure enough, I turned around and saw my seat.
Zhao Qingshan glanced at the spot where he pointed and said, "I wonder when this car will leave? Brother Wen said he wanted to go to City B with us and come back the same day."
Jiang Weimin pretended not to know, "What did the two people who were in the car before say?"
"They said they came back from City B at 1:00 PM yesterday. The bus stop and the bus would show the departure time, but there's nothing yet? Could they be leaving today?"
Zhao Qingshan said this and looked around, but still found nothing.
"Maybe it's not time for the train to leave yet, it will be there soon!"
"I hope so!" Zhao Qingshan was about to turn around when he saw a flash on the screen at the front of the train.
The screen that originally only displayed the route now showed the departure time, which was exactly nine o'clock in more than half an hour.
