Chapter 168 Going out to investigate
Jiang Huiyong had already swallowed all the food. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw the girl who had blocked him at his house. His heart suddenly calmed down.
Is this apocalypse just to see her again?
Although the price was high, when Jiang Huiyong saw her face, he had a very clear understanding in his heart that it was fate and destiny.
Because if he stayed at home, under the current circumstances, he would never be able to meet her again.
Jiang Huiyong's eyes were calm as he replied to Yang Zengyue, "We've been staying here since the rainstorm, occasionally going out to look for food. However, we haven't found anything to eat, and we haven't seen any living people."
I saw quite a few dead people.
When I went out again later, the corpses had disappeared, the plants were attacking people, and everything had become strange.
The map that Chen Jiaer had given him before was no longer useful, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.
I know Sikun Mountain is nearby, but I can’t find the way to get there.
He remembered that when he parted with Chen Jiaer, she specifically asked him to bring his parents with him.
So, after he got his vacation, he booked this trip with his parents, but he didn't expect that something earth-shaking would happen along the way.
As for his parents, they didn't make it through the journey.
If he were to experience that kind of physical pain again now, he didn't know if he could endure it.
The pain goes deep into the bone marrow, and even thousands of arrows piercing the heart and thousands of ants gnawing at the bones cannot describe the pain.
After his parents died, he burned their bodies and scattered them in a nearby river.
The family was originally happy on this trip, but they didn't expect a disaster to happen along the way.
Jiang Huiyong vaguely felt that this was God's will.
Even if you stay at home, the outcome may not be any better than it is now.
I wonder if the situation would be different if he had come to Sikunshan earlier.
But there are no ifs anymore.
After burying his parents, he wandered around alone in this unfamiliar world and was in danger several times.
After rescuing the couple, the three decided to find a safe place to stay.
They found that the environment had changed and there were almost no living people in the town. Even if he and his parents stayed at home, the same result would probably occur.
Jiang Huiyong could only hide the pain in his heart and try to survive.
Thinking of all this, Jiang Huiyong's face was filled with sadness.
For the first time, I realized that human power is so small, so small that it is impossible to resist.
Self-rescue seems unnecessary.
Because you have no idea what will happen in the next second.
Jiang Huiyong knew that he was in a very embarrassing situation at the moment, but he was not worried that Chen Jiaer would look down on him because of this.
He was determined in his heart.
Because the girl in front of me is very kind.
Yang Zengyue gave Jiang Huiyong a few more bottles of water and asked them to wash their faces.
Jiang Huiyong moved aside and tidied himself up. Chen Jiaer also handed him a small mirror and asked him to clean himself.
Jiang Huiyong smiled at Chen Jiaer, and there was a doting look in his eyes that even surprised himself.
He seemed to have a special liking for this girl, no one knew where it came from!
Chen Jiaer felt sweet in her heart when she saw Jiang Huiyong's smile.
The other two were not so straightforward and looked a little embarrassed, but they finally cleaned up their faces.
After Yang Zengyue and the others recovered, he asked them about their future plans.
Among the three, only Jiang Huiyong gave a positive answer: "Are you short of manpower? If so, I will go with you and do anything for you."
His eyes were always on Chen Jiaer.
When Chen Jiaer saw Jiang Huiyong, she smiled the whole time. It was so nice that she could meet the person she liked again in this way.
This was the best thing that happened to her in the end times.
Chen Jiaer's smile was sickeningly sweet: "You're most welcome."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled up Jiang Huiyong who was sitting on the ground.
When his hands were clasped together, Jiang Huiyong felt his heart tremble, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Bitterness. Happiness. Long absence. Survival. All of it.
When Yang Zengyue saw the looks of the two of them, he was sincerely happy for them.
As for the other two people who did not express their opinions, Yang Zengyue did not say anything and did not ask any further questions.
These two look like a couple.
The girl had some inexplicable hostility towards Yang Zengyue, which made Yang Zengyue a little puzzled.
She didn't know the girl.
The boy wanted to go with Yang Zengyue and the others, but when he saw his girlfriend's expression, he knew she would definitely not agree.
So I didn't say anything.
Yang Zengyue left them seven days' worth of food and left with Jiang Huiyong.
She was not a good person, but seven days of food was enough for them to get out of here and find survivors.
The girl's hostility towards her came from nowhere; she had never seen either of them before.
Jiang Huiyong had been with these two people for several days and knew a little about the girl's personality.
She used to be a spoiled little girl at home who was allowed to do whatever she wanted. It would be strange if a beautiful girl didn't feel hostile when she saw her in such a miserable state.
But the girl's boyfriend knew her true thoughts because Yang Zengyue took away Jiang Huiyong, the strongest among the three of them.
After the three met, it was Jiang Huiyong who was responsible for finding food, which allowed them to survive.
The girlfriend wanted Jiang Huiyong to find food for them instead of following others.
As soon as these people arrived, they extended an invitation to Jiang Huiyong.
This is to cut off their livelihood.
The two of them never thought that they could leave with Yang Zengyue.
In addition, there is another reason. The girl actually knows Yang Zengyue and is her high school classmate.
After graduation, they went their separate ways. Yang Zengyue went to college, but the girl did not go to college after graduating from high school.
I have always been jealous of Yang Zengyue, who is beautiful and has good grades.
When he met Yang Zengyue again this time, he found that he was still inferior to her in every way, and the imbalance in his heart suddenly exploded.
Why is it that when the end of the world comes, Yang Zengyue still looks so arrogant?
But I am in such a mess.
Also, Yang Zengyue treated himself like air, as if he didn't exist.
She didn't even notice me!
At least in high school, she and Yang Zengyue were both considered school beauties, although she was always inferior to Yang Zengyue.
But like Yang Zengyue, he is a famous person in school.
The woman clenched her fists and glanced away.
Before Yang Zengyue left, he took a close look at the couple. After learning their true thoughts, he felt disgusted.
These two don't want to fight for food by themselves, they want to catch Jiang Huiyong and fight for them. Who do they think they are?
So after Jiang Huiyong decided to go with her, he became hostile towards her.
This idea is ridiculous.
If you don’t fend for yourself in the end times, you will be devoured by strange plants and ferocious beasts.
It's like this before the ferocious beast even appears. It will be difficult to survive in the future.
But this has nothing to do with her.
She didn't recognize the girl. After all, ten years had passed since she graduated from high school.
Besides, we had no contact before.
The girl only regarded her as an imaginary enemy, and Yang Zengyue never paid attention to such things.
After leaving, Chen Jiaer muttered, "Sister Zengyue, why did you leave food for them? Don't let your kindness go unrewarded."
It was obvious that the girl was a very scheming person, and she had her boyfriend completely under her control.
I don’t know what will happen in the future.
"I only gave them seven days' worth of food. If they can't get out of here in seven days, I guess there will be no future for them." Yang Zengyue didn't care.
This was her kindness towards strangers. As long as others showed murderous intentions towards her, she could still afford to give them the food.
Besides, not everyone would want to take her things.
Some people are worth leaving food for, and she will still do what it takes to save someone's life.
It all depends on the fate of these two people in the future.
When the end of the world comes, you will not be able to survive if you are too proud, too conceited, or too lazy.
Jiang Huiyong followed Chen Jiaer silently without saying a word.
Chen Jiaer looked back at him from time to time, her eyes smiling into crescents.
They finally reunited.
very nice.
Along the way, Jiang Huiyong answered every question Chen Jiaer asked, and the two chatted happily.
Only then did Jiang Huiyong realize how much the world had changed after the end of the world.
Also, he now had an idea of how many people had died.
Jiang Huiyong asked Chen Jiaer, "So, how many people are left in your village?"
Chen Jiaer replied that there were less than thirty people.
This was because Yang Zengyue and Jiuxiao had set up a formation in advance and prevented the villagers from being taken away.
Their formation can only save so many people, no more.
However, even after being rescued, the villagers could not survive the pain of their super powers.
Jiang Huiyong lamented: "The world feels like it's in chaos. People disappear overnight. How on earth can they do that?"
Jiang Huiyong couldn't understand this. Chen Jiaer knew the method, but couldn't tell it.
Chen Jiaer’s only regret is that Jiang Huiyong still lost his parents when he had the chance to do it again.
It seems that some things are really unavoidable, as if fate has already determined them.
Her scumbag father and stepmother were able to survive. The rules of this world are hard to understand.
Luo Haobai had a good impression of Jiang Huiyong. From his words and actions, he knew that he was a young man who could and was willing to endure hardships.
Chen Jiaer has good vision.
Although it was love at first sight, it's the end of the world now, so there's nothing wrong with doing what you want.
…
After Yang Zengyue and the others left, the couple wanted to follow them so that they could find the direction and leave.
But he found that those terrible plants blocked the road in an instant.
Yang Zengyue did this on purpose.
She doesn't want to be left with a tail hanging behind her.
Leaving the food behind was the most she could do; she had no obligation to take them away.
Unable to find the direction the person had left, the girl stamped her feet and said, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault for being too slow. Now we've lost everyone."
The boy quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, we have seven days' worth of food. If we save some, it should be enough for ten days. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out."
The girl glanced at her boyfriend and felt that her previous judgment of people was really bad.
Although this man knew how to protect herself when in danger, in the current situation, his strength was too weak and he could not give her a better life.
He couldn't even find his own food.
If Jiang Huiyong hadn't left, she would never have been with him again.
But now I have to rely on him and can't be too aggressive with him.
So the girl snuggled in his arms and said coquettishly in a sweet voice: "Okay, I believe you."
The boy was a little nervous. This environment was too terrible. His ability was not as good as Jiang Huiyong's, and his girlfriend was too delicate and didn't want to endure any hardship at all...
The boy's heart was a little bitter.
But, I am a man and I must protect my woman.
After Yang Zengyue and the other six left, they kept moving forward. They could not clear all the alien plants. After they left, new alien plants appeared and grew all over the road.
The forest soon appeared behind him again.
It's a lush green field, and although it looks pleasing, it hides a deadly murderous intent.
After arriving at the town center, Yang Zengyue and his friends first went to the supermarket to see if they had any luck finding some supplies.
In the end, nothing was left.
The building has been invaded by alien plants, and their vines and branches are extending from the windows, the roof, and everywhere.
It looked like a ruin covered entirely in green, full of life but devoid of human energy.
When the group was about to go back, Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer noticed a few faint breaths in the air.
There are survivors here.
And there are more than ten of them.
However, the two did not rush to the place where these people gathered.
Because these people are likely to regard them as "enemies" who are here to steal food, and they don't want to fight with the survivors at the moment.
Yang Zengyue judged the people in the residential building in front of him from the smell coming from the air. The survivors should all be residents of the building, no outsiders.
Judging from their breath, they were in good physical condition and obviously had food and water.
So Yang Zengyue took out a pen and paper, wrote down their situation, and shot the paper into the residential building with a bow and arrow.
Hearing the sound of arrows flying through the air, the people in the building felt panic.
"Oh no, everyone, hide quickly." said the strongest leader among the survivors.
Hearing his voice, the others hid without hesitation.
Then, when the sound of arrows piercing objects disappeared, these people stuck their heads out and looked at each other, "Is everything okay?"
The strongest person removed the arrow from the object and saw Yang Zengyue's note.
He didn't know whether the situation described above was true or not, nor did he know how to judge it.
They have food.
Will the other party snatch it away?
Should they take the risk?
The leader discussed it with the others, and everyone agreed not to open the door.
Yang Zengyue and the others waited for more than ten minutes. The people inside, after apparently discussing something, asked through the window, "Are you just passing by, or do you want to ask for a drink?"
If you pass by, you will leave after a while.
If you want to drink water, you have to go into the building.
The nature is completely different.
Yang Zengyue saw a figure leaning out of the window and replied, "I was just passing by and wanted to ask about the situation."
The man told them about the situation in the town. They only had the people in this building left, and they didn't look for anyone else around.
In this situation, they don't want to go out and die.
After hearing this, Yang Zengyue had no intention of going in, nor did she suggest that they go with her.
Continuing forward with Chen Jiaer and the others, we found that the situation in the surrounding towns was similar.
So the six of them decided to go back.
There was no point in exploring further unless they went to the city.
It’s safer to go back now.
Train everyone's abilities to deal with the coming wave of ferocious beasts.
