Chapter 868: Eighteen Strange Insects in Yunnan and Guizhou
The view of dilapidated buildings outside the window kept receding, and the drizzle kept hitting the glass, making a "tick...tick" sound. Occasionally, a flying insect whizzed by and was swallowed by the Hulk's tongue. The fat chicken was angry that the little green one was competing with it for food again.
The muddy road only slightly slowed down Jingshu's team's speed.
If the convoy hadn't always gotten stuck in the mud, Jingshu's Hulk could have been faster.
The closer to the south, the more humid it is and the more mosquitoes there are. Fortunately, it rained in this awful weather, and the mosquitoes became much less numerous. However, the people of Wucheng, who were not used to the southern weather, felt what it was like to be damp and cold.
Of course, it is countless times better than the minus sixty degrees in Wucheng.
In the Hulk luxury RV, Jingshu was still lost in thought about what she had forgotten about the old Jing family and what was missing. Suddenly, she clapped her hands, "Forget about the lack of water at home!"
Third Aunt Jinglai sat in the corner with a sad face: "Shu, have you forgotten your Third Aunt?"
Jingshu secretly clapped her hands on her thighs. Ah, she was so focused on the sadness of parting that she only pulled San Gu up and forgot about arranging her affairs. So she quickly said, "No, no, San Gu, you should follow Ah Hua and the other factory director for a while to get to know them better. We will be busy when we get to the South China Sea. We will usually stay inside this green giant. We will eat with my uncle and I will cook. As for accommodation, you can stay in the green giant at the back."
"Okay, but I can't sit still. I think Xiao Liu still can't manage the food during the march, so I'll help them this afternoon and look after the kitchen for you. Also, I'll feed the dozen or so chickens, ducks, rabbits, and two pigs that your grandma brought you every day, so you don't have to worry about them."
Ah, it’s great to have Third Aunt…
As for why she brought so many living creatures... Grandma Jing said, "You have hundreds of soldiers protecting you, so I'm not afraid of others having bad intentions. This time is different from the past. You're going to open so many factories, and you're in a new place where you're unfamiliar with everyone. These chickens and ducks are great gifts. Besides, if you're greedy, just kill them and eat them. Don't starve yourself..."
Okay.
Jingshu sent Sangu into the mouth of the green giant at the back and said that carriage No. 2 was ready.
The Hulk car No. 3 is for chickens, ducks and other poultry, cars No. 4 to No. 8 are for the family's own supplies that have crossed the open road, car No. 9 is a special tick room, and car No. 10 and onwards are for public supplies, such as food, water, gasoline and other resources allocated from above.
There are still more than thirty Hulks left to serve as bodyguards. As for the rest, twenty are left for Jingnai to place various furniture, livestock, vegetable racks and other things, and they also serve as bodyguards.
More than a hundred of them were rented out in exchange for natural gas, oil and other resources that are not open to the outside world. Otherwise, the space storage alone would not be enough to meet the needs of Lao Jing's family and her consumption.
Carriage No. 2 is connected to Jingshu's Hulk's body. There is no need to make a door. Just knock it gently a few times and it will open by itself inside the Hulk.
Of course, carriage No. 2 cannot compare to Jingshu's, which has a toilet, a bathtub, a kitchen with partitions, a dining table, a sofa, and a large round bed for one person. What's more, there is also a small bar for coffee and milk tea, potted vegetables and fruits brought up by Jingnai, and a water tank built by Jingye... It is a luxurious RV version of the Hulk.
Carriage No. 2 is only the size of a van, but it is enough for daily life. The only problem is that it is very empty inside, after all, it is temporary.
"Third Aunt, this is mosquito spray. You must spray it every day when you go out. There are a lot of bugs here. This is my toilet. As for the bed... just spread out the bedding and you can sleep. Sleeping in the Hulk's body is like sleeping on a waterbed. It feels so good. Hey, Third Aunt, where's your luggage?"
The third aunt pointed at the backpack behind her with resentment.
"Just... that's it? Didn't grandma say she would be responsible for packing your luggage?" Jingshu was shocked.
Third Aunt: "Your grandma... forgot that I was leaving too. But your grandpa said there's no need to pack anything. If I really need anything, I'll just follow you."
"Okay, that's very thoughtful of you, but I still have everything here, Third Aunt, just wait..."
The thoughtful Jing Ye was scolded by Jing Nai the next day because on the way, it was San Gu who was doing the work of pretending to be pig food and chicken food, cleaning up the feces, etc., and no one was doing it. Jing Ye was busy for a while.
He forgot that his third daughter was not at home and went bragging with Old Xie next door, causing the chickens, ducks and cows to go hungry for a whole day.
"Moo~moo"
"Ga ga ga"
“Ooooohhh!!”
"Hmph hmph"
The roars of various animals made the neighbors around the camping area's eyes sparkle with green light... Fortunately, Jingnai fed them some vegetable leaves in time, otherwise these poultry would have been so hungry that they would have rushed out of the Hulk's body.
Fortunately, the Hulk is an emotionless tool who will never resist as long as he is fed.
Ten days later, Jingshu's convoy finally arrived in Yunnan and Guizhou.
This road is really difficult to walk on. At the beginning, there are just a lot of mosquitoes. Later, all kinds of poisonous insects, ants and moths are flying in the sky, and there are also all kinds of poisonous plants and shrubs blocking the road.
After the end of the world, dark plants grew wildly, and all kinds of poisonous vines almost surrounded the city. More than a dozen people were injured in the convoy entering the city alone.
Fortunately, there is not too much water here, otherwise it would become a poisonous city like a primeval forest.
Yunnan-Guizhou is a big city with a high terrain and many mountains around it. It has avoided many natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is one of the few cities that has been relatively well preserved and fully inhabited since the end of the world.
After absorbing the population of the surrounding small towns, it now has a population of 18 million, and it is also an isolated city.
Because all the surrounding towns have been invaded by the terrible shrubs, poison ivy and green algae.
Due to the terrain, there's little arable land, so there's little food to eat. With so many people to feed, life in this apocalyptic world should be difficult. But the reality is that the people of Yunnan and Guizhou are still living a relatively comfortable life...
Although there was a shortage of various supplies, very few people were actually hungry.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the early bird catches the worm. A diligent person will never starve, only a lazy person will go hungry.
When the great earthquake struck in the third year, people all over the country were busy hiding from the quake, while the people of Yunnan and Guizhou were busy catching insects. It's said that Yunnan and Guizhou seemed to have disturbed the nest of all kinds of insects that year, and every earthquake brought out countless insects...
"Come, try our specialty, the Eighteen Strange Insects of Yunnan and Guizhou... Don't be fooled by their appearance or taste... Ugh, they taste quite unique!"
The dark-skinned middle-aged man held a small wooden stick in his mouth and enthusiastically introduced the local specialties.
"Buzz..."
"Snap"
The middle-aged man slapped himself and killed a huge mosquito. There was a little bright red blood on its abdomen. The man cursed, "Damn it, I was distracted while talking and it sucked me. I can't let it go to waste." After that, he opened his mouth and swallowed the mosquito.
