Chapter 117 Encountering a Giant on the Road
Ding Yibing and the others explained their encounter with Rong Dazhi. "Miss Lan and the others have already paved the way for us. Whether Mao Wanru wakes up early, Mao Heli knows it was us, or someone else is involved, we have a way to get away. We came here early to collect the debt. Mao Wanru is a psychopath. She didn't show gratitude after we saved her, and she spends all day trying to figure out how to deal with her savior when we get back. We're all feeling bad. We have to make up for the loss, or else we won't bring Mao Wanru back and just leave her out there to save trouble."
Young people nowadays are more ambitious, and the old couple understands. It’s enough for them to know it in their hearts. "The girl Lan you are talking about is such a good person. If my daughter didn’t have them, she might not know how to thank you all. Good people, good people." The old couple were wiping their tears again.
Ding Yibing and Xia Xun were at a loss for words. He wasn't sure if they were good people, but it was true that without Lan Shiruo, they wouldn't be alive, but they certainly wouldn't be doing well. "Uncle and aunt, don't worry about that. They're good friends who've been through thick and thin together. They help each other out of the heart, asking nothing in return. By the way, the supplies are at our place, and I'll deliver them to you later. You shouldn't go to work. It's tiring, and you won't earn much. He Lian would be heartbroken if she saw you all so exhausted. There's plenty of supplies, so feel free to use them."
He's parents were helping clean up the safe zone, and their work was much more tiring than the sanitation workers before the apocalypse. The population was too dense, and not only was there all sorts of garbage, but there was also a lack of morality and law.
With everyone's abilities growing stronger, their destructive power also increased, and with the amount of destruction increasing, cleaning up became tiring.
There is also urine and feces everywhere. There is no water, so it is very troublesome to clean up. There is no monitoring and no punishment. These people simply let themselves go. The feces are everywhere. Not only is it an eyesore, but it also shocks the senses and nerves.
If you don't deal with it for an hour, the whole air will become smelly.
The most important thing is that sometimes you have to clean up the bodies and burn them directly with all kinds of garbage. The faint of heart can't do this job. It's a 24-hour work, and everyone works in shifts, averaging more than ten hours a day. It's dirty and tiring.
The old couple really couldn't handle it, and the supplies they received were not much.
The only advantage is that you don’t have to work hard outside and can live a peaceful life.
Thanks to Wei Xiong's care, He's parents could barely get enough to eat. Many of their colleagues were exploited layer by layer, only able to eat half full, and their faces were pale and thin. But compared to those who went out to risk their lives in exchange for supplies, even though they were not full, everyone was satisfied.
The old couple thought about it and nodded in agreement. "I'll go tell Old Wei later that we should get well before the kids come back so we won't be a burden when we leave. By the way, young man, we've also awakened our powers, but we've been in the safe zone and haven't used them much. Can you teach us? If we can't fight monsters with everyone, at least we won't just stand there and get beaten."
"No problem. Although we are also weak, we still know the basics. Uncle and auntie, please rest for a few days. We will take our time. There is no rush. It may take them more than a month to go back and forth."
"Okay, okay."
The old couple went along to move supplies. They'd heard there was plenty of them and they could eat as much as they wanted. Subconsciously, they just assumed they wouldn't have to go hungry every day, that they'd be able to eat a full meal of porridge. They'd already made up their minds to skip work and just eat half full each day to hold on for a few days until everyone else returned.
When I saw the supplies, I realized that their knowledge limited their imagination. Their knowledge was really too limited. This wasn't just a lot, it was luxury. A whole truck was full of food, clothing, shelter, and everything else. Not to mention filling their stomachs, they could have eaten delicious food every day for two or three months without any problem. "Are they giving us everything?"
"Of course not, uncle and aunt, don't worry about eating. These are nothing. You have to believe that they are really capable. He Lian brought cigarettes and alcohol for uncle, but she told him not to eat too much, it's better not to eat at all, drink less alcohol, and don't smoke if you can. There are also some vitamin supplements for aunt. He Lian said that aunt suffered a lot in her early years and was left with many illnesses, so she needs to be well nourished. There is also meat, which Miss Lan brought for you. There is flour, rice, coarse grains and fine grains. Eat slowly. Don't worry about the water. Although you can't use it for bathing or washing clothes, it is enough for eating and drinking."
The old couple didn't know what to say anymore. Their eyes were red and they just nodded.
However, I didn't move much stuff, and I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse to move it back, so I just take as much as I can eat.
He's father no longer smokes. He hadn't smoked for more than half a year, so he naturally quit. However, he could use it to build relationships, so he sent it to Wei Xiong.
After comforting He's parents, Ding Yibing and Xia Xun took Niuniu to live in the safe zone. They didn't go out to do any missions, but just wandered around the safe zone, listening to some gossip from time to time to understand the situation here, and then completing the tasks assigned by Lan Shiruo. They actually knew the place well.
He laughed with amusement when he learned that Lan Shiruo's adoptive parents and their family were living a happy life.
The large group had a smooth journey and had already left the national highway and entered the expressway.
New buses and super-large trucks were speeding on the road. There were gradually more and more pedestrians, and their destinations seemed to be City N.
A car rushed past at the speed of a rocket, with a roar in the wind. The bus, which was a huge vehicle, was shaking. Feng Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and reincarnate." If the situation did not allow it, he would definitely chase after it and knock it down. He was racing in front of the ancestor, not knowing whether he would live or die.
"No, something's happening back there." He Lian tilted her head to listen, her brow furrowed, feeling uneasy. "There seemed to be screams back there, and there were strong vibrations, but it was too far away to hear clearly."
The little friend's expression became serious. Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi exchanged a glance and said, "Speed up."
Feng Tao stepped on the pedal and the car sped off. The truck was driven by Guo Zi and Duan Jianghe, who could clearly hear it through the headset, following closely behind.
The other cars were confused and cursed.
The large team was moving at a fast pace, but He Lian heard the noises coming from behind getting closer, indicating that they were moving even faster. "Speed up, faster."
The driving partner did not hesitate, and the other partners automatically entered combat mode.
However, no matter how fast it went, the pursuers were still getting closer. You could see a behemoth like a mountain rushing towards you, and wherever it passed, all the vehicles it encountered were killed. They were either thrown into the air and fell to the ground, their lives unknown, or trampled underfoot, turning people and vehicles into discus.
Screams were heard one after another, and all the surrounding vehicles began to accelerate desperately, with continuous screeching sounds. In a panic, they had no choice but to crash into each other. No one could escape, but the road was blocked.
Fortunately, the drivers of the large group were all experienced drivers. They braked in time and avoided a collision, and also successfully avoided the car chasing them from behind. But now no one could leave.
"Get out of the car." The little friend didn't hesitate. Lan Shiruo waved and put away both cars. They couldn't run away, so they could only fight.
