Chapter 439: Being Treated as a Great Immortal
The family was startled by the sound of something hitting the ground.
The middle-aged man stood in front of everyone, looking at the dark ground in front of him with some fear.
There looks like something under those burnt trees there?
"Honey, there's a pocket."
The middle-aged man’s wife pointed ahead and said in shock.
How did a pocket suddenly appear? There was nothing there at the beginning.
"Mom, Dad, and daughter-in-law, you stay here. I'll go take a look."
The middle-aged man slowly walked forward to check.
There was nothing around to help him pick his pockets, so he had to check it himself.
At this time, what could he be afraid of?
The pocket is fresh, in stark contrast to the charred mountain forests surrounding it.
A new pocket suddenly appeared in a large forest. Is this a ghost?
The middle-aged man swallowed hard, looking at the dark forest, and finally curiosity overcame fear.
The pocket was carefully opened by the middle-aged man.
When he saw what was inside, he was shocked and his body froze in place.
The middle-aged man’s wife was frightened when she saw that her husband did not respond and called him a few times.
The middle-aged man turned around, his desperate and numb eyes filled with hope, "Mom, Dad, wife, we can survive."
"What?"
The family was shocked and overwhelmed.
The middle-aged man looked around, didn't see anyone, and quickly ran to his family.
"Food, it's food."
He opened his pockets to show his family what was inside.
A bag of bread, biscuits and canned water was enough to sustain them for several days.
The family looked at the contents of their pockets and swallowed hard.
The two children couldn't control themselves and almost wanted to reach out to take it, but the middle-aged man's wife held their hands and stopped them from touching it.
"Did anyone drop it here? We can't take advantage of others."
The old woman closed her pockets and turned her eyes away from what was inside.
She was afraid that she would lose control and take it for herself.
"Your mother is right. We can't take over other people's things."
The old woman's husband said in a deep voice.
What they didn’t have to eat might be what others didn’t have to eat either, or it might be someone’s last food.
"Mom, could it be that someone gave it to us? You also heard the sound of the pocket falling to the ground just now."
The middle-aged man's wife said after a moment's hesitation.
The two old men thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the case.
If it was dropped by someone accidentally, they would not have heard the sound just now, after all, there was no one nearby.
"Here's a note."
The middle-aged man found the note in his pocket and took it out.
When he saw the words written on the note, he was very excited.
"Mom, Dad, and Wife, it says where the base is now."
"So, these things are indeed for us?"
"Well, that should be correct."
"Who is the kindhearted person who gave us the food? Can you come out and see him?"
The old woman stood up with her weak body and looked at the scorched forest.
No one responded to her, but the old woman felt that there must be someone in the forest.
Maybe it was a mountain spirit or ghost who gave them food because he saw that the family was kind.
When the old woman thought about it, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The middle-aged couple was startled and knelt down subconsciously.
The old woman's husband was also pulled down to his knees by her.
The two children followed suit and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Great Immortal, thank you for saving our family."
Gu Luan in the space was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She just liked the family and helped them out, but she was treated like a great god?
Jiang Xian stood behind her, listening to the noise outside with her, but their eyes were both fixed on the distant space.
The scenery in the space remains the same as before, so beautiful that it makes all worries disappear and makes you want to stay here forever.
The old woman and her family left quickly.
Now that they have food, they can set off immediately and must catch up with the main force at the base.
After the old woman and her family left, Gu Luan and Jiang Xian also prepared to leave.
Sitting in the car, Gu Luan ate fruit salad and listened carefully to the movements outside.
In one month, they traveled a long way in Province D.
Apart from the old woman and her family, they did not find any living people, but they did smell a lot of stench under the ruins.
At that moment, Gu Luan and Jiang Xian remained silent.
The two stood on a once high mountain somewhere in Province D, with an endless expanse of dark abandoned city before them.
None of the trees or buildings were intact, it was a desolate and sad sight.
They could not see a single green, only burnt black.
Gu Luan took out a small sapling from the space, and he and Jiang Xian dug a hole and planted it.
She took out some water and poured it on the sapling, hoping that one day it would thrive and add a touch of green to Province D.
Maybe after many years, the sapling grows up and is surrounded by trees.
By then, Province D will regain its vitality, and those who have left home will slowly return.
Although this hope was terribly slim, Gu Luan still held on to a glimmer of hope.
The breeze blew on their faces, lifting the corners of Gu Luan and Jiang Xian's clothes, and the saplings swayed slightly in the wind.
"Let's go, leave Province D."
Jiang Xian spoke softly, Gu Luan smiled at him, and left with him.
They officially stepped into the territory of Q Province.
Areas in Q Province near Province D were also affected.
Fortunately, it is better than Province D which has become a deserted city. At least there are many trees in several cities.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the solar storm, they didn't see many people in several cities.
Gu Luan felt the cool breeze and her hair fluttered in the wind.
She took out a rubber band and tied her hair up, then looked away calmly.
The direction they are heading to now is Kangshi Base in Q Province. They have decided to stay there for a few days and then leave and return to W Province.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two entered Kang City.
Maybe it’s because the base is in Kang City. As soon as you enter Kang City, you can see cars and people coming and going.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian passed by many vehicles.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived near the Kangshi base.
Suddenly, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and large patches of black clouds pressed down overhead.
A cold wind blew, raising the dust on the ground, and raindrops as big as beans hit the ground.
The sound of raindrops could be clearly heard on the roof of the car, and the glass windows were also covered with raindrops.
"It's raining?"
Gu Luan looked at the dark sky in the distance.
Her mood did not improve because of the rain. Instead, she felt an ominous premonition.
Jiang Xian looked solemn and sped up the car towards the Kangshi base.
"It's raining. It's raining."
"It's finally raining, hurry out to get some water."
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian quickly applied for base cards, exchanged supplies for points, and then went to rent a house.
Along the way, you can see countless people running out excitedly to catch the rain water.
Some people ran wildly with their arms outstretched in the heavy rain, and some opened their mouths wide to drink the rain water...
They didn't look at it any further and passed by quickly.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I could hardly see what was ahead while driving.
Most people were still immersed in the ecstasy of the rain.
There were also a few people who realized something and used their base cards to exchange for supplies.
Jiang Xian parked the car in the parking lot and quickly ran towards the rented house with Gu Luan.
The rain was so heavy that no one dared to stay in the rain any longer and everyone ran into the house.
Suddenly, there was no one outside, only heavy rain.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian ran into the unit door.
The entrance was crowded with people waiting to receive rain showers, and the two of them had a hard time squeezing in.
The house they rented was on the fifth floor, neither too high nor too low.
The Kangshi base is located at a very high altitude, so there is no need to worry about heavy rains flooding the base, so they did not rent a house that high up.
It’s enough to live on the fifth floor, and it’s convenient in case you need to leave.
