Chapter 34: The Frozen Man Enters the City
Yunshui Yao scoffed. "What's so great about that? I've even played a killer before, a beautiful killer, and received worldwide acclaim. Come on, tell me what real-life killers are like. I don't have any special qualities, I just like to constantly push myself and strive for progress."
Han Qingquan froze for a moment, the little kid in her arms limp. Fortunately, after two months of torture, she'd gotten used to it. Her expression remained as aloof as ever, but anyone with a discerning eye could see a brighter glow. "Assassins are human too. They're not that exaggerated. They eat and sleep as usual. Others learn how to survive in society, while assassins learn how to quickly blend in and take their targets' lives. It's not that tiring, just like a student working overtime and taking various cram schools. You'll get used to it."
"That's it?" The three of them didn't quite believe it. It wasn't bloody at all and didn't fit their perception. They said they couldn't accept it.
Han Qingquan saw the disappointment in the eyes of the three people, turned around and left with Lebao in his arms. Lan Shiruo was right, he should spend more time with the little kid.
Little Lebao was talking to Aunt Qingquan with "ah ah", but Aunt Qingquan just stared at him expressionlessly. Little Lebao expressed his unhappiness and gave his aunt a stinky fart.
"puff"
Loud and soul-stirring.
Miaomiao, He Lian, Yunshui and Yao looked at each other.
"Oh, I need to catch up on my beauty sleep." Yunshui Yao left.
"The new cotton-padded jackets I made for the generals and ministers are not finished yet, so we have to hurry." He Lian left.
"I have to get some more food to store so I can eat it whenever I'm busy in the future." Miaomiao left.
The general and the minister looked left and right, then returned to their own villa to sleep.
Han Qingquan held Xiao Lebao under his arms with both hands, not knowing whether to let go or not.
Little Lebao giggles and plays.
In the desert, the six men were freezing cold, and they knew they couldn't walk anymore, so they huddled together in a military truck to keep warm. They didn't know at first that they were covered in snow, but fortunately there was a river that healed them before the rot spread, so they had to stay where they were until the snow stopped or they found a solution.
"Fortunately, we have stored a lot of meat before, otherwise we would have frozen to death or starved to death. Brother, please light a fire and roast some meat." Ding Jiajia wanted to get into Ao Chengyi's arms, but she didn't dare because of his tyranny.
Ao Chengyi's fire ability is the same as Lan Shiruo's water ability, it is endless and will never feel exhausted, and there seems to be no room for development. However, it is enough for now, so he doesn't care about the small details.
Holding the fire in my palms, the truck felt much warmer.
"Brother, this is not a solution. What if the snow never stops? The things we store can only last for about a month." Lu Chaoyang said.
This was the truth, and they were all very worried. They looked at Ao Chengyi, waiting for him to make a decision.
Ao Chengyi was silent, his consciousness entered the space, and he searched everywhere to see if there was anything useful. Obviously, there was nothing.
When consciousness came out, he asked, "Are there any energy sources around?"
Lu Chaoyang stared at the map in deep thought. "Five hundred kilometers to the east, there used to be a gas field. Considering our current situation, it will take about a month to get there. The key is that this news was several years ago. I don't know if it still exists. Moreover, it is in the opposite direction of our progress. If we go there and find nothing, we will have spent twice as much time, and the future is uncertain."
Ao Chengyi tapped his knees with his fingers, his brows raised slightly. After three seconds, he made a decision. "Tear the canvas off the military trucks to make jumpsuits to protect us from the snow. Then, dismantle the car parts to make sleds. This would have shortened the time. Regardless of whether there are still some left, we've seen that the gas fields won't be exhausted so easily."
"It's Big Brother."
As a decision maker, Ao Chengyi was never questioned by his brothers, and he never let them down.
Compared to the men's shabby equipment, Lan Shiruo's team was much more advanced, all wearing leather jumpsuits, over-the-knee leather boots, leather gloves, reinforced helmets, and were armed to the teeth.
The snowmobiles were a real eye-catcher. They'd just been picked up at the dealership. In those days of scarcity, such a show was quite a statement. Five people, one mastiff, and three snowmobiles sped toward the city. The snow on the road was over a meter thick, covering up everything, including the blood and darkness. The vast expanse of white looked incredibly holy.
Passing by the villa area where the Dragon Wars once lived, it was deserted, leaving behind many frozen corpses. The team wandered in and unexpectedly found some bagged food and water, which should have been taken away by the Dragon Wars team at the time. Later, no one dared to search for them, which was a bargain for them.
"Sister, I remember there was a chain supermarket whose main warehouse was in the South District. All the goods were distributed from the main warehouse. It was a very large warehouse, but it was next to the residential complex, so I don't know if it's still there."
"Let's go and have a look."
Along the way, I met some pedestrians, all of them were wrapped up tightly, but they were all wearing their own winter equipment, which was warm but not waterproof. If they waded through such deep snow, they would be soaked in less than half an hour. Snow water also has a decaying effect, so they all hurried past, and after a stroll, they had to go back to change equipment. And walking in such thick snow requires some physical strength.
Therefore, towards Lan Shiruo and her group, apart from envy, jealousy and hatred, there is only deep helplessness. They have to watch the fat sheep slip away and feel bad.
"If it weren't for my sister, I would be the same as them, or maybe even worse off." They all looked pale and thin, with red eyes, and they looked like they were starving.
Yunshui Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Little girl, you have a lot of feelings. Working hard is the right way. Where are you going? Show me the way quickly."
Miaomiao pouted. The actor was so ruthless. "It's the alley ahead. Turn in."
Turning around the alley, there is a main street. Going straight ahead, there is a high-end residential area. Across the street from the south gate of the residential area, there is a chain supermarket that sells fresh fruits, vegetables and daily necessities. It has two floors, which is enough to meet 20% of the needs of the residential area. Even if it is only 20%, it is definitely a popular store. The population of the residential area is over 10,000, and people usually buy small items here. It is open 24 hours a day, and customers are always coming in.
The main warehouse is here, where demand is highest and it's also convenient for going to the southern suburbs to get fresh produce. It's across a small alley from the supermarket, and through the alley is the small door to the warehouse, and at the other end is the main gate.
Miaomiao and her team were about to enter through a small door. When they passed by a supermarket, they found that everything inside was empty except for some household items.
"We might have made a wasted trip. Who would not take a bite of such a big pie in front of them?" Yunshui Yao said.
Miaomiao did not refute, the situation was very clear.
"It's okay. There may be some things in there that others look down upon. They may be useless to others, but they may not be useless to us." Lan Shiruo is someone who would like to tear down the four walls and take them away. She never dislikes anything, not even a spatula or a pair of chopsticks.
