Chapter 194 New Year's Day
He was really good at using a knife to kill someone, but it was a pity that they became the knife in someone else's hand. Ning Yuan licked his teeth and felt that this person was simply hateful.
Ning Yuan asked in surprise, "A sneak attack? A sneak attack on us? We didn't encounter any sneak attack. We all slept well last night and didn't see anyone."
"What time is it? Let me ask," Ning Yuan asked.
"About twelve o'clock"
"Around twelve o'clock, I'll ask the night watchman," Ning Yuan said, looking back and finding Antonio who was talking to Xi Shi and Xiong Jie about where to put the chicken cage. "Antonio, around twelve o'clock last night, did you see anyone come out?"
"Twelve o'clock..." Antonio thought for a moment and frowned, "There was some movement, and it went over there. I wouldn't have called you if you didn't come over." He pointed in the direction of the city.
Ning Yuan spread his hands, "Downtown? Your captain is not going to look for supplies, right?"
Ning Yuan looked at Fang He with scrutiny and asked the people who were moving things with him, "Did you hear the captain say he was going to attack us?"
Meng Da's sneak attack was originally a temporary "suggestion" by Fang He. Most of the people who knew about it had been taken away. The team members who followed looked at each other and finally shook their heads.
"The captain is..."
"Where are the people who were on guard last night? Such a big base should have people guarding the city, right? What about the people guarding the city? Why did they just show up in the middle of the night? Didn't they even ask for a reason?" Ning Yuan asked Xu Sen and Su Yan without waiting for Fang He to finish his words.
"I've already asked. The people guarding the city said that Captain Meng is taking people to get some supplies," Xu Sen said, looking at Fang He.
This was because Meng Da was worried that the people guarding the city would not let them out, so Fang He gave him an excuse. When Fang He was about to explain, he saw Ning Yuan looking at him coldly.
"Your team members and the people guarding the city all know that your captain went to get supplies. Why do you come here to blackmail us? What are you thinking? Do you want to stir up a conflict between us and your captain, start a fight, and then reap the benefits?" Ning Yuan's usual smile was gone from his face. He looked quite shocking when he looked serious. He just looked at Fang He coldly.
"Meng Da and I have been good brothers for many years..."
"Are you stabbing me in the back, my good brother? Otherwise, if your superpowers are not weak, why did your captain go out in the middle of the night without you? You didn't go on purpose to make way for today's incident, did you?" Ning Yuan didn't give Fang He a chance to explain himself, and turned to look at the people he brought with him.
"You'd better go back and think about it carefully. This man dared to do this so openly. Your captain must have been in trouble. Your position as captain may be targeted next. If you say it has nothing to do with him, no one will believe you."
"And you're still blaming us? We're right at the gate of the base. If they really attacked us, the guards at the gate should have heard us if we shouted. Open your eyes and look, don't believe everyone and listen to everything they say," Ning Yuan kept fanning the flames.
"Little boy, if you want to get promoted, just do it in your own little piece of land. Why do you come here to frame us? Do we look easy to bully? Who are you to throw dirty water on us? Do you think it's so easy to throw dirty water on us?"
After Ning Yuan finished speaking, a stream of water directly soaked Fang He, and then froze into ice in an instant. Even the exploding icicles could be seen clearly, causing the people around him to take a few steps back.
As for Fang He, he could feel more clearly the sharpness of the icicles on his clothes. They looked transparent and crystalline, but in fact his skin had been scratched with bloody marks. He didn't even dare to move, for fear that Ning Yuan would kill him if he wasn't careful.
"Okay, okay, on the day of departure, let's pray for a good omen and stop shouting for fighting." Su Yan stepped forward to ease the atmosphere and said to the people behind Fang He, "Go find your captain quickly and don't be used by people with bad intentions."
Hundreds of people looked at each other, then looked at Fang He who was covered in ice, and finally said goodbye to him and returned to the base.
As for where the hundreds of people Meng Da brought went, no one asked about the truth. After all, in the face of strength, the truth is really not important.
The group exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Xu Sen also took out a jade carving of good quality and gave it to them as a parting gift. Seeing this, Lu Weiyi couldn't help but sigh that the difference between a good person and a bad one was immediately apparent.
Early in the morning, at eight o'clock, the group set off again.
Supplies can be stored in the space, but live chickens cannot. After discussion, the group decided to build a cage on the roof of the carriage to breed as many as possible.
"The roof of Luxi's truck is already very high. We can only go up here. We can build two stairs next to it to make it convenient for feeding." Wu Yue told Zhuang Mingxu the results of the discussion, glanced at the location marked on his paper, and asked, "If we go to Shangyang City, do we still go to the base?"
"Base..." Zhuang Mingxu thought about the space that Lu Weiyi had not yet repaired, "...if possible, go there a few times."
Jade is not easy to get in an unfamiliar place. Those nonsense excuses cannot stand up to scrutiny. Moreover, if you show off your wealth, you may attract the covetousness of others. Although they all have strong supernatural powers, he has always known that there is always someone better than you.
Now...
Zhuang Mingxu thought about it, picked up the intercom and pressed Lu Xi's channel, "Xiao Xi?"
"Brother Mingxu? What's the matter?" After a moment, Lu Xi's voice rang out.
"Is your superpower about to be upgraded?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"It seems... I have some feeling." The dean came to check the homework again. Lu Xi thought about Gu Qingji who awakened with him and now has abilities far surpassing his, and he felt ashamed.
"It's okay, I'll just do a statistics," Zhuang Mingxu said, taking out a small notebook from the space and opening it. It recorded the ability levels and upgrade dates of the team members.
Now, apart from Lu Weiyi, who is a special A-level user, there are only four C-level users left: Lu Xi, Gu Qingyue, Xiong Jie, and Xu Sa. Lu Xi and Xu Sa have special abilities and do not have corresponding crystal cores. They absorb energy from other crystal cores and advance slowly. In addition, Xu Sa awakened late, so the possibility of his advancement is relatively low. However, Xiong Jie and Gu Qingyue...
Zhuang Mingxu had just pointed at the two people's names when Wu Yue shouted twice to the outside. A moment later, the two people walked in.
"Are your two superpowers about to be upgraded?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"I feel it's almost there," Xiong Jie said after feeling the supernatural power.
Gu Qingyue nodded, indicating that he could also upgrade.
"Then during the next break, you two can upgrade together. We still have to improve our overall abilities as soon as possible," Zhuang Mingxu said as he flipped through the drawn map.
"During New Year's Day, right?" Wu Yue looked at the calendar and said with emotion, "New Year's Day is in a few days. You can upgrade together then, which can be regarded as a commemoration of our hard work in the past six months."
"It's been half a year." Zhuang Mingxu looked at the calendar and felt as if he was in a dream.
"Yeah, let's celebrate when the time comes," Wu Yue said.
"Then we have to find a safer place," said Xiong Jie.
Outside the carriage, zombies are rampant and mutant animals are rampant, but inside the carriage, everything is peaceful.
Several people were excitedly discussing how to spend the first New Year's Day after the apocalypse. The truck moved slowly, carrying the people's expectations for the future further and further away.
**
On New Year's Day, they did not find any base and could only stay in a town that looked smaller than a village.
The town was deserted for half a year and everywhere was desolate. Some yards were already overgrown with weeds and looked barren.
"We'll stay in the town government for a day and continue on our journey tomorrow." The next city is at least four or five hours away, and the roads are difficult to travel on, which will waste time. Instead of going to a county town where we don't know if there is a base, we might as well be more alert and spend a relaxing holiday.
Lu Weiyi was thinking in his mind and giving orders.
"OK." Antonio, who was sitting outside the car, jumped out as soon as the car stopped. He walked around the town government and said with a frown, "There is not a single zombie inside."
"That's great. We can save ourselves from killing any animals during the New Year." Wu Yue jumped far away and stood not far from him.
"Don't you feel that we haven't encountered a single zombie since we entered this area?" Li Zhuang glanced around and there was no living or dead creature within his sight.
"There shouldn't be many zombies along the way," Xu Sa said, but he became alert.
"Go in first, I'll go take a look around." Lu Weiyi directed the truck to drive into the yard, got out of the cockpit and got into the car. Zhuang Aiyi was carried down by Dean, and he went over and carried Zhuang Mingxu down on his back.
Several people outside entered the government hall. Wu Yue and Ning Yuan walked around the several-story building, came down carrying a bundle of clean-looking quilts, and blocked the entrance to the corridor with a wall, leaving only an area of about 40 square meters in the hall.
Just take out all the kitchen utensils and it will be a temporary kitchen.
"It's New Year's Day, and we still have four or five hours before dinner. What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it right away, and we'll celebrate properly," Xi asked while sorting out his things.
"Sauerkraut and fish," Dean jumped and shouted, "May there be abundance every year."
"Eight, eight treasures, eight treasure rice" Liu Rui rarely joins in the fun, "round, round, round, round.
“Braised Lion’s Head”
“Chicken stew with mushrooms”
…
Everyone was shouting out their favorite dishes in a lively manner, and for a moment, everyone had a smile on their face.
"Here are today's crystal cores. Take some time to absorb them." Lu Weiyi waited until they had finished reporting their orders before taking out a bag of crystal cores and handing them over. "As for the extra ones, share them with Qingyue and Brother Xiong. Prepare for the upgrade in the next two days."
"Xu Sa, come with me to explore the surroundings," said Lu Weiyi.
"ojbk" Xu Sa jumped out of the crowd with a smile on his face. When he saw Lu Weiyi, his eyes brightened as if he had thought of something. "Lu Xiaoyi, do you have any roast duck? I've been craving for Kyoto's roast duck for a long time. The last time I ate it was when you brought me some when you came to visit me in prison."
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "Maybe it's not very authentic."
