A small gathering, encountering obstacles on the road
The three of them actually didn't have much to talk about. They just kept chatting about zombies. With Zhang Xue's enthusiastic sharing, Li Ping'an and Annie had a general understanding of their family's itinerary.
That day, after Li Ping'an and Annie lured the zombies away, Zhang Xue and Yang Lin took Mimi and drove to Beiji City. Fearing the traffic congestion caused by the large number of zombies in the city, they basically bypassed the city and towns and took roads with fewer people.
I was lucky. I didn't encounter any large zombie hordes along the way. I only hit a few zombies with my car and then went down to finish them off. I managed to get here without any problems.
After hearing this, Li Pingan finally understood why the front of the car in front of the door was dented.
"Didn't you pass through Dongba City?" Li Ping'an calculated the time and asked.
Zhang Xue shook her head and smiled at Mimi in her arms. "No, from a distance, it looked like there weren't many zombies in Dongba City, so we planned to go through it. But Mimi cried so hard, saying she was scared, so we took a detour."
"What happened in Dongba City?"
Hearing this, Li Pingan couldn't help but glance at the little guy, feeling that the child's inspiration was really strong. No wonder he could see Anding. "The zombies in Dongba City are very fierce. Don't go there."
Li Pingan didn't say anything more. After all, this matter was too complicated to explain and the two parties were not that familiar with each other.
After hearing Li Ping'an's words and looking at the bloody clothes on the two men, Zhang Xue couldn't help but feel scared. "Your clothes show how ferocious this zombie is."
Then, Zhang Xue covered Mimi's ears, moved closer to the two of them, and whispered, "You must have killed a lot of zombies, there's so much blood on your body."
Li Ping'an was silent for a moment. In fact, he really wanted to tell her that the blood on his body was all his own. He wanted to scare Zhang Xue so much that he had to laugh it off and fool her.
Just then, Yang Lin came out and said that it was time to eat.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. In this environment, Yang Lin can make simple ingredients so "abundant", which shows that he has put in a lot of effort.
A plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of stir-fried chili peppers, ham, sausage and eggs, and finally a main dish, roast chicken with potatoes, accompanied by a bottle of happy water and white rice. Li Ping'an and Annie watched without blinking.
"Come on, come on, sit down and eat." Zhang Xue was busy greeting the two of them.
After Li Pingan and Annie sat down, before they even started eating, a piece of chicken thigh appeared in their bowls. "We found this chicken at a family's house after we arrived in this village."
After hearing this, Annie suddenly asked, "Is it still brooding?"
Zhang Xue looked at him curiously, "How did you know?"
Annie chuckled and said, "The chicken we met before was also sitting on its nest."
"If this chicken hadn't been brooding, it would have run away long ago." When Zhang Xue and the others saw the chicken, it was so hungry that it couldn't move. If they had come two days later, it would have starved to death.
"If I really can't feed her, I would have wanted to keep her alive. I would have her lay an egg every day to give Mimi some nutrition." As she spoke, Zhang Xue touched Mimi's little face with heartache. Ever since the zombie outbreak, Mimi hadn't been able to eat or sleep well with them every day, and her little face had become much thinner due to hunger.
Mimi was eating egg custard with a bowl in her arms. She felt Zhang Xue's movements and laughed. Suddenly, she said to Anding beside her, "Brother, why don't you eat?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xue and Yang Lin quickly looked in the direction of Anding, but could not see anything. She thought it was someone who had died in this family before, and quickly stood up. "Sorry, sorry, we are just staying here for a while. Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, they looked at Mimi. There was no fear on Mimi's face, so Zhang Xue and Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you going? We seem to be heading in the same direction. Are you also going to Beiji City?" Yang Lin asked.
Annie was struggling with the chicken in the bowl. Li Pingan nodded when he heard this and said, "We are going to Beiji City too."
Zhang Xue clapped her hands when she heard this. "What a coincidence! Since we're all going to Beiji City, why don't we go together?"
"I don't think it's safe for you to ride that motorcycle."
Li Pingan and Annie quickly refused. Annie swallowed the food in her mouth and waved her hand, "No, no."
Li Pingan continued: "Don't bother you, we can ride motorcycles, it's very convenient."
Seeing that Li Pingan and Annie both declined, Zhang Xue and the others didn't know what to say. "Then let's have dinner together when we get to Beiji City."
After dinner, it was completely dark. Li Ping'an and Annie brought Anding with them to a nearby house. According to Zhang Xue, they had also checked this house and there were no zombies inside.
Li Pingan was holding a flashlight and leading the way when Anding suddenly said, "The chicken he cooks is better than yours."
Hearing this, Li Pingan was puzzled. When did he eat it? "Did you eat it secretly?"
Anding shook his head, "No."
"I was also at the table, so it can't be considered stealing."
"Did they invite you? It can't be considered cheating." Annie complained from the side. She saw Anding secretly taking the chicken, and was caught by Mimi across the street.
Anding turned a deaf ear to him and floated to the roof, looking up at the sky.
Li Ping'an didn't care whether he was having another seizure or not. He took Annie to find a cleaner room and rested there.
Li Ping'an and his companion were in a hurry to travel, and they always got up and left at the same time. Therefore, when the door was knocked, they were still sleeping soundly.
She opened the door sleepily, and saw a neatly dressed family standing in front of it. Zhang Xue saw that they were still sleepy, smiled kindly, and then said, "We'll leave first, but we won't walk fast. If you need anything, you can catch up with us."
"These are the buns we made this morning. I brought some for you."
When they heard there were buns, their eyes widened and they instantly came to their senses. After thanking them repeatedly, they took the buns and said goodbye to Zhang Xue's family.
Watching Zhang Xue's family's car disappear at the end of the road, Li Ping'an and Annie looked at each other, went back into the house, and fell asleep.
They slept until the sun was high in the sky. Then they stretched their bodies and washed up briefly. Then they picked up the buns Zhang Xue had given them and took a bite. "This is so delicious."
The buns are as big as the palm of your hand, the skin is fluffy and elastic, and the vegetables and mushrooms inside are delicious.
There were not many buns, only four, which should be two for each person, but there happened to be an extra Anding next to it.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion at the remaining bun.
In other words, it was Li Pingan and Annie who were staring at Anding. Anding looked at their expressions and silently withdrew his outstretched hand, "Forget it, you guys eat."
Seeing that he was so understanding, Li Pingan and Annie nodded. After all, he would not be hungry no matter how much he ate, but she and Annie would be hungry no matter how much they ate.
As Li Ping'an and Annie were eating, they noticed that many fruit peels and cores were slowly appearing on the ground.
Looking up, I saw Anding standing not far away, holding a handful of loquats in his hand, throwing them into his mouth one by one, and then the cores and skins kept flying out.
Li Ping'an remembered that these were the loquats he had picked before, but he didn't expect that he hadn't finished eating them yet.
"Anding, give me some." When Annie saw the loquat in Anding's hand, her eyes lit up.
But Anding obviously remembered how the two of them had united against him. He glanced at her without answering and raised his hand a little higher, fearing that she would snatch it away.
Seeing Anding's look, Annie half-threatened and half-acted coquettishly, and it took her a long time before she got two loquats from him.
Annie held them up and compared them for a long time, then found the bigger one, peeled it, and happily ran to Li Pingan, "Ping'an, here you go, after-dinner fruit."
Seeing this, Anding, who was standing by, snorted coldly.
Li Pingan took the loquat from Annie's hand and ate it. He said vaguely, "Let's go. We have to hurry."
Although the dirt roads in the countryside are difficult to walk on, the shade of the trees on the roadside can block out the sun completely.
Without the glare of the sun, Li Pingan drove the motorcycle high, leaving the scattered zombies behind him.
There was a small town ahead, and there was no way to go around it, so the only option was to go through it. Li Ping'an had learned his lesson and stopped going into the alleys. He chose to walk on the main roads that he could see the end of at a glance.
The motorcycle whizzed through the street, with several zombies bumping along behind it. Suddenly, Li Ping'an braked suddenly, and Annie uncontrollably crashed into her back.
Annie didn't ask what happened, but instead stuck her head out from the side. There were tiny flashes of light on the road not far ahead.
"Ping'an, what's that on the ground?" Annie looked at it and it looked like glass. In the past, she had encountered broken glass scattered in the middle of the road, but Li Ping'an always chose to go around it. Why did he suddenly stop this time?
"Annie, get out of the car and take your things." Li Ping'an whispered. The zombies around here had obviously been cleared out.
After getting off the motorcycle and standing next to Li Ping'an, Annie saw a familiar car leaning on the side of the road. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Ping'an, isn't that Mimi's car?"
Li Ping'an looked solemn and nodded, then turned around to look at the ground in front of him. It was clearly nails, not broken glass.
It was obvious that this was done by a human. If Li Ping'an hadn't seen Zhang Xue's car, he would have probably taken Annie and left by taking a detour. But now that was no longer possible.
Just as the two were thinking about how to find a place to rescue people, a modified jeep drove over from the opposite direction with several men sitting in the jeep.
When the man in the car saw Li Pingan and Annie, he breathed a sigh of relief and even whistled at them, "I haven't seen such a beautiful girl in a long time."
"Hey, two beauties, do you need your brother's help?"
Suddenly, the car became noisy, and unpleasant words were heard intermittently. Except for the driver, several other men came over and grabbed the two men with obscene looks on their faces.
Li Pingan turned around and told Annie, "Cover your ears."
