Chapter 283 Falling asleep in the car
Under the other person's gaze, which was gentle but also carried an inexplicable sense of oppression without blinking, He Rui gritted his teeth and stared at him in silence.
Another half minute passed before Ji Changqing slowly said with a smile, "Okay, I'll remember your promise."
....
When we returned to the parking lot, we were faced with the problem that the parking lot was full of slopes and it was inconvenient to rest.
He Rui looked at the metal bed that Ji Changqing took out out of thin air and placed on the ground.
Looking at the bed in a strange way, the lower side slowly rose up, forming an angle of unknown degree with the ground, and it became flat.
He Rui took a few more glances, then gave up decisively and returned to the car, ready to lie down on the seat and spend the night there.
He didn't think it was a big deal to sleep on a bed in the parking lot, but he was mainly afraid that he would roll down while sleeping at night and roll all the way along the spiral driveway to the bottom of the building.
It was just a pity for Ji Changqing, who folded up the bed and followed him back to the car without saying a word.
Even an off-road vehicle with a large interior space is not very spacious for someone like Ji Changqing, who is only about 1.9 meters tall. He feels hunched up when sitting and cannot stretch his legs.
He felt suffocated just watching, and felt bad for his friend who was squeezed in. He couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you seen the RV yet?"
If there is an unlimited supply of gasoline, even though I really like this off-road vehicle, I still haven't driven it enough.
But no matter how you think about it, it would be more comfortable to change to an RV.
Let Brother Ji lie down more.
Although it is not clear whether the bed of the ready-made RV is big enough for the other person to stretch his legs given his height.
But in the current situation where industry has come to a standstill and the entire society has come to a standstill, many things are very inconvenient even with his omnipotent Brother Ji around.
"I'll give you one tomorrow." Ji Changqing always agreed to the request.
He Rui praised it, "Awesome, awesome, you are worthy of it! Awesome!"
He once again switched to the song "Big Brother Welcomes You" which he had listened to so many times before. He felt that this rap song vividly and realistically described his mood and the relationship between him and his brother Ji.
With the other party's lights dimmed, He Rui leaned back in his chair and began to rummage through the finds in his bag.
There is basically nothing particularly useful.
The bag only contained a piece of rope I got from the mall, a telescope, some socks, underwear, a pair of clappers, baby powder, and a few batteries....
He also put a few books there.
He did not leave out the remaining books in the small bookstore, and asked Brother Ji to put them all within his domain.
It is estimated that there is now a fairly large library in the other party's territory.
When he returned to the parking lot along the same route, he found that many of the strange and useless shops he had passed by before had also been emptied out by his brother Ji.
I was deeply impressed by the fact that there was a fishing tackle shop where all the items were taken away by him.
He Rui reasonably suspected that his brother Ji might be an invisible fisherman, and perhaps he planned to catch mutant fish in the future.
He fiddled with the mess in his bag, looked at this pile of useless things, clicked his tongue twice, and felt that the most useful gain of this trip was the seeds he had obtained before.
I casually took out one of the books that I had left in my bag and that I was particularly interested in, and prepared to take a look.
It was a book on modern Chinese history.
He wanted to see how the history of this "Huaguo" was different from that of their China.
He Rui has a strange feeling about China. Although this place looks a bit like a twin of his homeland, in reality, the core is completely different.
Before the disaster, he was okay with the people and buildings in this place, and they looked quite friendly.
It looks no different from back home.
But after the disaster, everything turned upside down.
He has no sense of identification with the Chinese government. To him, it is just a terrible and irresponsible foreign regime.
He Rui read two pages and felt a head coming closer from the corner of his eye.
He turned his head to look at his brother Ji who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Although he didn't know why this person was suddenly interested in the book in his hand, he still silently moved the book towards the other person, leaned to the right, and prepared to read it together.
Just asking a question.
Ask this local about the situation in this place.
As we read the book and chatted, the topic became more and more in-depth without us noticing.
As the sky gradually brightened, the two of them read and chatted all night long without closing their eyes.
He Rui discovered that the historical development of this place was roughly similar to that of his homeland, as if it were a parallel universe.
Although the key points and turning points in history are not much different from those on Earth, the subtle differences are enough to make the two sides take completely different directions.
The situation is somewhat disappointingly complicated.
All I can say is that the Chinese authorities are not even as good as a low-end version of their homeland. The gap is obvious and they are just a poor imitation.
During the development process, it seems to have gone astray.
It is no wonder that China would do something as incomprehensible as abandoning some of its citizens.
But after all, this is the hometown where his brother Ji grew up, so He Rui still gave Ji Changqing enough face and did not say anything unpleasant.
After finishing the book, he felt mentally exhausted and sleepy, but it was already daybreak.
He Rui yawned and asked his brother Ji, "Shall we go? Let's go?" Running? Seeing mutant plants?
He is in very good physical condition now, so he shouldn't collapse suddenly after running all night.
But just as he finished asking, the seat on his side was lowered, Ji Changqing pushed him down and put a blindfold on him.
So considerate to let him sleep first.
He Rui thought, okay, I’ll just sleep for a while first.
After all, his brother Ji, who is doing serious work to collect mutant animals and plants, is not in a hurry, so why should he, an unemployed vagrant, be in a hurry?
He Rui planned to sleep for two hours.
"Tietie, call me in two hours."
There was no response.
He Rui closed his eyes, leaned back in the comfortable chair, and slowly fell asleep.
.....
After waking up, He Rui took off his eye mask and squinted his eyes to adapt to the strong light coming in from outside the parking lot.
He stretched his neck and asked Ji Changqing, whose seat beside him looked like he hadn't rested all night, even his posture remained the same as before he fell asleep, "What time is it?" in a tired voice.
This question is obviously not asked inappropriately.
He Rui regretted asking the question the moment he asked it. After all, after being hit by the asteroid, the rotation speed of the blue planet became chaotic.
A day cannot be simply divided into 24 hours.
But surprisingly, Tietie actually answered him seriously.
"A quarter past two in the afternoon."
He Rui didn't know how this person calculated it.
But since his brother Ji said so, he believed it.
He nodded, yawned, and asked vaguely, "Hey, aren't you in a hurry to collect mutant animals? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Just take a nap after two hours.
Ji Changqing said calmly, "No rush."
"Okay, as long as it doesn't delay you." He Rui got out of the car, stretched his muscles, and relaxed his limbs which were very stiff after sleeping in an uncomfortable position.
The joints crackled.
