Chapter 59: Fly, Motorboat
After taking turns to eat, several people divided the food they had prepared during practice into several bags, making sure there was some in each car, and then packed up all the things they were going to take away. Things that are too large are not easy to move through the ventilation ducts and can only be transported one by one.
Lu Weiyi stayed a little later until most people had left. He used his mental power to pack up all the remaining items in the supermarket. It was at this time that he felt that the places that were crushed by the collapse could also be directly collected into the space, but he needed to use his mental power to get out the collapsed earth, stones and bricks. He was not skilled at it the first time, and he didn't realize it until after he had collected all the items. As a result, there was still a lot of waste soil on the food on the shelves, and when put together with other supplies, it looked like a pile of dirt.
It shouldn't affect eating.
Lu Weiyi thought, if it really doesn't work out, just trade it away. At worst, he can give it to those refugees who have nothing. There will always be someone who won't mind.
However, this was like a divine help for clearing the materials from the collapsed area, and Lu Weiyi was in a rare better mood.
Li Zhuang and his crew went out for a trip and came back in a small van. All the seats in the back were removed and filled with various foods, leaving only two driving seats. The rest of the people had to be spread out in the remaining two cars. The off-road vehicle was spacious enough to fit five people in.
Lin Yimu was driving, Li Zhuang was sitting on the passenger seat, Lu Weiyi and Anthony were sitting in the back. As soon as they were seated, Li Zhuang handed them a white backpack and said, "I saw it, so I brought some for the kids."
Lin Yimu looked at Li Zhuang in surprise, and saw that he still had that leisurely look on his face, with no sign of anything.
Lu Weiyi took it and opened it. Inside was a collection of jade ornaments, including bracelets, pendants and necklaces.
Lu Weiyi took these and used them to repair the space, but he was used to being casual. He would get a few pieces when he remembered them, and forget it if he didn't remember them. He didn't go looking for them on purpose. However, he remembered that the little green-haired boy had collected them twice in the previous community, so he remembered them.
"Thank you," Lu Weiyi said, reaching in, touched a piece and put it into the space.
"Hey, one more thing, it's rare to see a polite young master." Li Zhuang teased while looking at the rearview mirror, but Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him and he laughed.
Lin Yimu was also looking at the back seat through the rearview mirror and was seen by Antonio. The two looked at each other and then turned their eyes away.
Li Zhuang just casually said that he would take it when he saw it, but the two people who traveled with him knew clearly that when they went to the mall, there was a jade shop next door and people were fighting inside. Li Zhuang saw it and just picked up a backpack and went over. He was stopped by someone. He kicked two people one by one and at least broke one rib. Then he pulled the corner of his mouth and said to the others, "There is gold and silver on the first floor next door. I only want the jade jewelry. Whoever steals it will die."
The burly man carried the white women's backpack all the way and didn't even put it down when he was carrying other things later.
But since he didn't say anything himself, it was naturally impossible for others to say more.
After Lu Weiyi put the first piece of jade ornament into the space, he saw the small green branch on his wrist sway its leaves and turn a little greener. He wanted to throw the whole package into the space immediately without thinking whether such a package was hard-earned.
Guyang City is close to Shangyang Lake, and there is a bridge leading to Qingyuan City. However, the bridge was too long and broke immediately after the earthquake. Now the only way is to travel by water.
After eating and drinking, the group headed straight for Shangyang Lake. Apart from avoiding zombies on the way, we didn't make any stops, and even so it was almost six o'clock when we arrived.
There is a small pier near Shangyang Lake. Large ships are not allowed to enter here. What are docked here are some poetic and picturesque ancient barges or motorboats. There are dozens of them parked according to different price ranges.
There was already a group of people there. Five cars were parked on the shore, with adults and children. The children were locked in the cars. Several men and women were loading supplies onto a manual boat. A young man was operating the motorboat and trying to drive it, but he obviously didn't know how to do it. The people on the shore shouted his name and laughed at him. He laughed and cursed back, but didn't get off.
When they saw their car, the group of people stopped what they were doing and looked over.
"Brother, I'm passing by," Lin Yimu took the initiative to speak.
"We'll go first, you follow," someone said.
The boats and motorboats are not big, and they can only transport supplies, but it is impossible to transport cars together. You can only find a car after crossing the river. At this time, whoever reaches the other side first means that they are likely to have a car first.
Li Zhuang sneered and patted the car, "Come on, young master, practice your shooting."
Lu Weiyi got out of the car with a pistol in his hand. It was the Desert Eagle that Li Zhuang had given him. He had only used it twice.
He casually fired a shot at the feet of several people on the opposite side, causing them to scream and retreat. The man who had spoken just now immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother, let's talk it over."
"Distribute fairly, half the boat for each person, and have nothing to do with each other." Lin Yimu didn't want to make enemies, nor did he want to make things difficult for others.
"Sure," several people over there responded immediately, pointing to the ships nearby and said, "Those over there are all yours."
Among the twenty-odd boats, there were five motorboats. They obviously didn't know how to drive them, except for the one that the man was learning to drive. Li Zhuang pointed at the other four and asked, "Besides me, who else can drive?"
"I" Lin Yimu said.
"I" Antonio said.
The motorboat is smaller than the boat, and three motorboats probably cannot load all the supplies. When Li Zhuang was hesitating whether to make a second trip or drive a boat, Lu Weiyi raised his hand.
Li Zhuang laughed and said, "This kid is very good."
Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"Bring all the supplies up," said Li Zhuang.
The others made an OK gesture and went back to their work. He then said to Lu Weiyi, "Come here, young master, sit here and play." He placed Lu Weiyi at an angle that was neither too far nor too close to the person on the opposite side, ensuring that no matter what happened, he would be able to discover it first if someone on the opposite side did something bad.
The four motorboats were quickly filled up, and except for the three vehicles, there was nothing left, even the gasoline inside was only left in layers. Lu Weiyi touched his Cross Country and felt a little reluctant to part with it. After all, it had accompanied him from the end of the world to now. However, it was too spacious here. If he installed a space directly, everyone would definitely see it, and the space would not be hidden.
Lu Weiyi put the keys back into the car, hoping to help others.
As soon as the motorboat stopped, Li Zhuang arranged for Lin Yimu and Antonio to find a car, and the rest of the people unloaded the supplies.
The team on the opposite side obviously thought the same thing, but the electric boat was a little slower.
In just a moment, Lin Yimu and Antonio were gone.
Both teams had just the right amount of supplies, which they placed in a pile. They were on guard against each other but also wanted to get close to each other. Li Zhuang was not an unsympathetic person, so he gave a look to Gu Qingyue, who looked kind, and Gu Qingyue immediately started chatting with a middle-aged woman opposite.
After just a few words, he found out where they came from and where they were going. Coincidentally, they were also going to Qingyuan to live with their relatives.
There was nothing dangerous, so Gu Qingyue didn't have any deep conversation. They just chatted casually. Antonio and Lin Yimu had already driven over.
Antonio stayed behind to pack the things, while Lin Yimu took Gu Qingyue on a trip and found a car to come back.
Seeing that the supplies here were almost loaded, the team that went out to find a car had not returned yet. The middle-aged woman who had been trying to get close to Gu Qingyue before said, "My son-in-law's family is a big family in Qingyuan, and everyone is going to Qingyuan. If you give us two cars, I can ask my son-in-law to take care of you when we get to Qingyuan."
"That's right, that's right, brother. It costs a lot to enter the safe zone in a small place, not to mention a big place. It would be different if there was an important person taking care of it..." The man who wanted them to go first immediately responded.
"Isn't there an old saying that it's easier to get things done if you have acquaintances? Even if you get to the safe zone, the supplies you have may not be enough to pay for the entrance fee."
"Let's make a good relationship now, and we will definitely speak up for you later."
…
They were all talking to each other non-stop, while a few people here were busy loading the truck, and no one said a word.
It was about to get completely dark around eight o'clock, and the men were obviously getting anxious. Seeing that they were unmoved, the woman compromised and said, "One car is fine, as long as you leave one, and I will let my son-in-law arrange for you to get in."
Seeing that the men were still unmoved, the woman became anxious, "If you don't leave a car, I will definitely..."
Before he finished his threatening words, he saw Li Zhuang, who was fiddling with a pistol, slap his ears, turned around and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly."
"You...you..." The woman kept saying "you" for a long time but didn't say a word. Instead, the person next to him pulled him back and said with a smile, "She is talking nonsense, don't mind it, don't mind it."
"The weather is so bad. There are mosquitoes buzzing everywhere, which is annoying." Li Zhuang said with a smile, got in the car, and said to the two cars behind him, "Let's go."
It was getting dark, and the group didn't go far. They drove for less than an hour until they reached the next village, where they stopped to rest.
At the same time, at Shangyang Lake Pier, a haggard-looking, unshaven man drove a car and crashed directly into several cars parked at the pier.
When he passed several cars, his sight suddenly lit up. He jumped out of the car with a hammer in his hand, walked to the side of the off-road vehicle in three or two steps, walked around the body of the vehicle, knocked on it, opened the door to take a look, touched the engine position, and looked across the lake.
He paused only for a moment, and before the zombies attracted by the collision pounced on him, he quickly drove an electric boat to the other side.
The team on the other side had just found the car and had just loaded up their supplies and were ready to leave when they saw a devil getting off the boat alone in the dark, and they were startled.
"Have you seen the guy driving the off-road vehicle on the opposite side?" Ning Yuan didn't have time to look for supplies. He would only get some oil and take away the things in the vehicles when he saw empty vehicles that had been attacked by zombies on the road.
There was no shortage of food, but there was little water. He drank a bottle of water for two days and stayed awake for two days and two nights. He was on high alert against zombies and was so tense that he had stretched himself like a bow and could not stand any accidents.
"I saw him. He... fell into the water and turned into a zombie," answered the woman who had asked Li Zhuang and the others for a car.
"Turned into... a zombie?" Ning Yuan turned around and stared at the lake in a daze.
"Yes," the woman said, and told someone to drive away quickly.
The string that was stretching Ning Yuan seemed to be hit hard by something, making a buzzing sound and trembling as if it would break completely in the next moment.
