Entering the city
"You don't even know this?! And why are you suddenly speaking so politely?" Annie sighed.
After hearing this, Anding was quiet for a while. "I've been dead for thousands of years. I don't know if this is normal. It's not normal for an ancient person like me to speak in such an elegant manner."
"As for you, your soul is already unstable. If you continue to make a fuss, be careful that your soul will be scattered."
"Ping'an, look, he is bullying me." Annie complained to Ping'an, but found that she was frowning with a serious expression.
"Ping An, what's wrong?"
"Did I forget something?" Li Ping'an muttered to himself. This matter is very important. What is it?
Just as Li Ping'an was frowning and thinking, a "ding dong" sound came from her cell phone. Li Ping'an didn't want to pay attention to it, but the sound continued to come, so she could only pick up the phone and take a look.
Li Pingan found that it was a group of people he had joined earlier who were chatting with him in the errand running group. He took a quick look and saw that the content was all meaningless.
Just when Li Pingan was about to turn off his phone, an idea suddenly occurred to him: run errands!
She quickly opened the "Across Time and Space Running Errands" app, and the countdown on it showed "2 hours, 8 minutes and 13 seconds" left.
It was too late, so Li Ping'an quickly checked the software to see if there were any orders she could take right away.
Li Ping'an frowned and browsed for a long time. There were many things, such as "bone-growing grass" and "thorny bone beast"... she had never heard of them before.
After ten minutes of searching, Li Pingan finally saw a list: "Looking for ten kilograms of flour, reward ten copper coins, employer: Sun Wuya."
How much is ten copper coins? Li Pingan couldn't figure it out. Regardless of whether he would make a profit or not, he would accept the order first.
After the order was successfully accepted, the countdown on the page finally disappeared. Before Li Pingan could breathe a sigh of relief, a new countdown appeared, "Please complete it within the specified time. The countdown is 24 hours."
Li Ping'an was full of fighting spirit at this time. After asking Anding to take good care of Annie, he picked up his helmet and set off.
"Wait for me to come back." Li Pingan was about to close the door.
Annie's voice suddenly came out, "Ping An, you have to be careful."
Li Ping'an agreed loudly and closed the door. She was in a good mood and her steps were brisk.
The room fell silent for a moment, and suddenly Annie's voice rang out, "I'm going to ask you a question, please don't be angry."
Anding's brows jumped, and he had a feeling that she couldn't say anything good.
"You're a man, aren't you?"
Anding didn't know what she meant, but nodded anyway.
"Then why does this peach tree bear fruit?" Although Anding did not explain to Ping'an that the peach tree had long been integrated with his soul, Annie, who was temporarily living in it, could feel it.
Anding felt like he was hurt by the anger. He rushed to the peach tree and said to Annie, "Are you educated? The peach tree is hermaphrodite!"
Seeing Anding so angry, Annie was not afraid at all. She lowered her voice as if to comfort him, "Look, can't you just explain it clearly?"
"But, are you also a hermaphrodite?" Anne couldn't control her laughter at this time, and this laughter stimulated Anding.
Anding didn't want to pay any attention to her and rushed out from the balcony.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll find a way to make you transform, and then beat you up. Are you satisfied?" A calm voice came from a distance.
At this moment, there was a small green shadow deep in the roots of the peach tree. It was not big, only the size of a fingernail, and it flickered.
At this time, Li Ping'an was carrying flour and riding a motorcycle following the navigation in the software. He went further and further away, and finally headed towards the cemetery in Nanlin City.
After passing through a thin mist, the scenery in front of Li Ping'an changed. It was full of desolate and dilapidated city walls. Compared with the crows circling above his head and the dark clouds, it was unclear which one was lower.
Li Ping'an noticed that there seemed to be changes under him. He looked down and found that the motorcycle had turned into a pure black horse. His windbreaker had also changed into a red and black tight-fitting suit to adapt to the local customs. The plastic bag of flour had turned into a cloth bag.
Fortunately, the phone is still the same as before.
Although this small town did not look like there were still living people, Li Ping'an still rode his horse and slowed down to go in.
There was no one in sight on the street, but Li Ping'an knew that there were still people in the city, and she felt a vague sense of being watched.
At a corner, several ragged and skinny people rushed out. Li Ping'an was shocked and thought there were zombies in this place.
As a result, when I looked closely, I found that although he looked almost dead, he was still alive.
Several people were holding hoes, some were holding blunt and broken kitchen knives, and one person was simply holding a stone picked up from the roadside.
After seeing Li Pingan rein in his horse and stop, several people rushed up with their weapons raised high.
Li Ping'an didn't want to hurt anyone right away, so he just rode his motorcycle that turned into a horse and passed by. The wind he created swept several people away.
Li Ping'an looked back and saw that these people had retreated into the shadows at the corner, looking for their next prey.
Thinking of this, Li Pingan turned back and kicked the men to the ground before they could react. "Tell me, how many people have you harmed like this?"
The few people did not reply, but just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, hoping that Li Pingan would spare their lives. "Please, spare us, we will never dare to do it again, please."
Li Pingan didn't have time to listen to their chatter, so he simply picked up the hoe on the ground and put it to one of their necks, "Speak."
The man was so frightened that he could barely speak clearly. "No, I don't remember."
Hearing this, Li Pingan frowned, but the man thought that Li Pingan was dissatisfied with his answer, and quickly added: "Too, too many, I can't remember."
Too lazy to talk nonsense, Li Ping'an broke an arm for each of them and left them there. Looking at the group of men rolling on the ground with their arms folded, Li Ping'an did not stay any longer. After all, there were only fifteen hours left and she had to deliver the goods as soon as possible.
Passing through the city and heading north, the population became increasingly sparse, and we finally stopped in front of a village built against a hill.
The mountains Li Ping'an saw in modern society were mostly lush and full of vitality, but the mountain in front of him had no vegetation at all, and the loess was exposed.
Li Ping'an stopped in front of a thatched house. Although the door of the house was almost non-existent, Li Ping'an still stood in front of the yard and knocked on the door with his hand.
After a long time without any response, Li Pingan patiently knocked the key again.
Still no response.
Thinking of the scenes he saw along the way, Li Pingan was shocked. Could he have starved to death?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Ping'an pushed the door open and walked in. Just like what he saw outside, there was no one in the yard.
Li Ping'an pushed open one of the tightly closed straw doors. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see clearly. After waiting for a while and his eyes adjusted, Li Ping'an took a look. There was straw piled on the ground, which should be the bed, a small stool with a missing leg, and a broken bowl with only the bottom left. There was no one there.
Li Pingan walked out with a frown on his face. He glanced at the countdown on the software and saw that it was still going on. Now there were only "13 hours and 30 minutes" left.
It seems that I need to find an employer as soon as possible.
Li Ping'an put down his phone and looked up to see a dark-skinned child with a big belly and slender limbs crawling around the horse, touching it with his hands as he crawled.
But before Li Ping'an could walk over, an adult, who couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, rushed out from the side, held the child, and kowtowed to Li Ping'an, "Please, please, give me something to eat." His voice was hoarse.
Li Ping'an frowned. These 20 kilograms of flour were for his employer and could not be moved. He had nothing else except a few bags of instant noodles and snacks stuffed under the car seat.
Li Ping'an looked up and looked around. It seemed that there were only these two people, but in fact, he didn't know how many people there were.
But looking at the child in front of her, Li Ping'an's heart softened again. She took out a small loaf of bread and asked the two people, "Tell me where the owner of this family has gone, and I will give it to you."
Seeing the cake in Li Ping'an's hand, the man's eyes lit up, but when he heard Li Ping'an's question, he hesitated. In the end, the desire to survive overcame his reason. "I said, I said, she, she was tied up on the mountain, right there, in that cave."
Li Ping'an looked in the direction of the woman's hand, and suddenly a crutch hit him. Li Ping'an thought it was hitting him, so he quickly dodged, but the crutch finally landed on the woman's head. "I told you not to tell outsiders," blood immediately flowed from his forehead.
The woman lay on the ground, holding the cakes that Li Pingan gave her in her arms, "Dad, Dad, Goudan can't eat anymore..."
Before the woman could finish her words, she was hit with the cane again, but this time it was obviously much lighter, like a warning.
After being hit, the woman seemed to realize that she almost said something she shouldn't have said. She was so scared that she closed her mouth tightly, fell to the ground, and trembled.
After dealing with the woman, the thin old man turned to look at Li Ping'an with an unhappy expression.
At this moment, Li Ping'an suddenly turned around and kicked away the two men who had sneaked up behind her.
When the people hiding in the dark saw this, they rushed towards Li Ping'an, hunched over, and grabbed Li Ping'an with their dark and thin hands. Li Ping'an suppressed his nausea and kicked and knocked down the group of people.
Turning around, I saw several people sneaking up to the horse and chopping it upwards with kitchen knives. Fortunately, although it looked like a horse, it was actually a motorcycle, so these attacks did not cause any damage.
Li Ping'an didn't dare to stay in this place any longer. She threw the child who was holding her feet and trying to bite her away, then got on her horse and left.
Fortunately, the flour was placed in the storage box at the back of the car, otherwise it would have been taken away by this group of people long ago.
Li Pingan shuddered when he saw a group of people who were left behind and were still stumbling to catch up. These people were obviously not zombies, but they were almost like zombies.
After walking around for a while, Li Ping'an finally went up the mountain and followed the direction that the man had pointed. He searched for a long time but didn't see anyone.
