No matter what misunderstandings Lu Qianzhi and his group had, they only stopped briefly at this station. After taking in Jiang Chuyi, they soon set off again.
Jiang Chuyi sat in the passenger seat, looking listlessly at the scenery outside the window.
Lu Qianzhi drove the car and looked back at her from time to time: "Xiaoyi, you didn't eat anything today, are you really not hungry?"
Jiang Chuyi hugged her legs and looked back at him expressionlessly.
Lu Qianzhi's mouth twitched. After experiencing that Jiang Chuyi refused to eat anything he gave her, he was also very troubled.
Now that we have rescued the person, we can't let him starve to death again.
When the brothers were chatting privately, they all said that this was really like picking up a picky cat. They had to prepare a special nest for it at night, otherwise it would make the whole team restless.
When those big eyes look at people because they are not satisfied, the person being looked at will unconsciously soften his heart and wish to give her everything she wants.
There was a person in their team who actually raised a cat before the end of the world. He assured the others that cats would always be wary when they first arrived in an unfamiliar environment. It was normal for them to not want to eat or sleep. Did Xiaoyi seem to be like this too?
Everyone looked at Xiaoyi, who showed no interest in either canned meat or dried meat, and would get angry if the tent was pitched on a slightly hard surface at night, and nodded in agreement.
The environment is still unfamiliar, so it's normal for Xiaoyi to be like this.
But everything else was fine, but Jiang Chuyi's unwillingness to eat really made Lu Qianzhi and the others worried.
At first, they thought Jiang Chuyi was afraid of being abandoned, so she deliberately said that she didn't need to eat meat and that she was easy to feed.
However, after a few days, they found that Jiang Chuyi had not eaten anything except some dry food, and his little face looked thinner, so everyone couldn't sit still.
Now that it's in their hands, how can they make people get thinner and thinner?
Lu Qianzhi was stared at by those big eyes, and he felt melancholy and distressed, and was under great pressure.
There is only one girl in the team, can't you pay more attention to her?
"We're in the original Luyang City ahead. Let's go in and replenish our supplies." Lu Qianzhi made a decision. "Xiaoyi, hold on a little longer. This is the first big city we've passed by. There must be some vegetables for you to eat."
"You'd better." Jiang Chuyi was too lazy to say more to him.
If Lu Qianzhi had not done a good job in everything except food and had a good attitude, and she was also a little curious about the so-called protagonist, she would have left these people long ago.
But she did have one concern.
Many of He Shizhao's team were Lu Qianzhi's subordinates later, but now they seem to not know each other. How did the turning point happen?
If those people followed Lu Qianzhi later, where would He Sizhao go in the future?
When Jiang Chuyi thought of a certain possibility, she felt unhappy. She temporarily classified this unhappiness as being angry just thinking about He Sizhao.
In short, for various reasons, she didn't want to leave Lu Qianzhi's team for the time being.
After Lu Qianzhi finished speaking, everyone in the car agreed. One of them hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a cousin who went to school in Luyang City before the apocalypse. Of course, he shouldn't be there now."
"Not necessarily." Lu Qianzhi said, "Luyang City is a big city. Although there was an organized evacuation at the beginning, it is hard to say whether anyone will stay and form a small base or something."
"If that's the case, maybe my cousin is there too." The man's eyes lit up with inexplicable reverence.
Jiang Chuyixi raised his eyelids.
After spending a few days together, she remembered that this person should be one of the people who followed Lu Qianzhi to find her before, and his surname should be... Cheng?
Never mind, it doesn’t matter.
Jiang Chuyi yawned.
After so many days of running-in, the two energies in her body have largely merged with each other. Her body is lighter than before, and a faint power flows through her body.
She still liked to sleep, but she no longer slept twenty hours a day like she did when she was with He Shizhao.
After determining the route, the group moved at a fast pace and soon saw the toll station at the Luyang City Expressway intersection.
"Stay alert." Lu Qianzhi said.
There are usually two situations at this kind of intersection. One is better, where the zombies of the staff who died here before are still here and just need to be cleaned up.
There is another more troublesome option, because highway intersections are usually sparsely populated, and coupled with the open field of vision, some survivors will choose to camp in such places.
If it were a zombie, it would be easy to deal with, but if it were a human, it would be difficult to judge whether it had good intentions or bad intentions.
The convoy approached slowly, but it was not easy.
The road was littered with dusty, abandoned cars, and the rotting, dried-up corpses were surrounded by a foul odor, making it difficult to tell whether they were dead people or zombies.
"Oh my god, what's going on here?"
The empty and eerie scene made everyone exclaim in shock.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had broken out here, but there was not a single zombie wandering around. It seemed that everything here was like a task completed in the game world but not refreshed.
Lu Qianzhi's brow darkened. He carefully steered the car and warned the people behind him through the intercom.
"There might be an ambush, be careful."
They walked for a while with difficulty, and because they could no longer move, they had to get out of the car to clear the way.
They were all big, strong men, so pushing open an unlocked car was not a difficult task for them.
Jiang Chuyi didn't move, and no one would ask her to get off to work. She just sat in her seat and watched them move. After clearing a path, she returned to the car.
As the car got closer, she looked at the huge words "Luyang Station" above the toll booth, and a huge atmosphere of death and desolation hit her in the face.
The once prosperous metropolis has now become a dead city.
Jiang Chuyi didn't feel anything, but the others were obviously deeply touched. There was suddenly no sound in the car. Everyone stared at the sign and slowly drove in.
The road inside was also much easier to walk on, as if someone had deliberately blocked the entrance with many abandoned cars, and the obstacles inside suddenly became fewer.
"Something's not right about this city." Lu Qianzhi's voice was filled with caution. "We can't go too deep. Is there a supermarket or something at the end of the highway?"
"There is one, but I don't know if there's anything there right now," Cheng Yi said. "I came here a few years ago and just drove down this road. It only took five minutes to get there."
Lu Qianzhi's eyes were solemn.
Their supplies were running out, especially water, and they didn't know how far away the next place where they could replenish supplies was, so they had to take the risk.
Several people were facing a great enemy, but Jiang Chuyi did not react at all. Instead, he looked out the window with interest.
This was her first time entering a big city. Although it was a deserted and dilapidated version, it was still a real city, not a two-dimensional picture on a screen or in a picture.
"Falling in love with your claws..." Jiang Chuyi thought of the name and turned to ask Lu Qianzhi, "What is this for?"
"What?" Lu Qianzhi was concentrating on guarding against possible accidents. When he heard Jiang Chuyi's question, he was stunned and almost switched channels.
Instead, Cheng Yi glanced outside and said, "Ah...it's a barbecue restaurant. Their specialty is grilled chicken feet. They taste pretty good. I've had them before."
"What's so delicious about hands?" Jiang Chuyi's anticipation disappeared when he heard it was meat.
She was dazzled by the various unfamiliar store names.
"What is blind massage?"
"Sad Liangpi? Who is Liangpi? Why is he sad?"
"Tianya Haijiao... Why is it called this foot? Did the person who wrote the sign make a mistake?"
She had a lot of questions, but was cute and childish, like a little kid visiting a big city for the first time. She didn't seem nervous at all, which added a bit of liveliness to the tense atmosphere.
The others couldn't help but smile in amusement as they answered her questions.
Before I knew it, the tension in the car had relaxed a lot.
"Look, that's the supermarket I mentioned." Cheng Yi pointed to a tall building in front of him. "That's a shopping mall, and there's a supermarket downstairs."
Lu Qianzhi drove the car over as he said.
According to their usual method, they divided the people into three parts: one-third stayed to watch the car, and two-thirds went in to search for supplies.
Lu Qianzhi originally thought that based on Jiang Chuyi's personality, he would choose to wait in the car. Just as he was about to say a few words, he found that there was no one in the car.
When he turned around, he found that she was already standing next to him.
"Let's go," Jiang Chuyi looked at the mall with shining eyes, his face full of eagerness, "What are you waiting for?"
Cheng Yi smiled innocently: "It turns out that girls always like to go shopping at the mall."
Lu Qianzhi also laughed, but he still wanted to persuade her: "Xiaoyi, it might be dangerous inside. Can you wait outside with the others for a while?"
Jiang Chuyi now felt uncomfortable whenever he heard the word "very dangerous". He didn't say anything, but just stood straight, fully expressing his unwillingness to retreat.
"Forget it, Captain Lu, let Xiaoyi come with us." Cheng Yi said, "We will surround her. If we get into danger, we can just carry her and get out. She doesn't look as heavy as my gun."
Cheng Yi is also a heavy firepower expert, and the number of firearms on his body is not much less than that of Wuyi.
Lu Qianzhi probably thought it made sense, and seeing Jiang Chuyi like this, he couldn't say no, so he said, "Then Xiaoyi, follow me closely."
Jiang Chuyi nodded impatiently.
The group walked inside carefully.
Just like the highway intersection, the mall was filled with a dusty atmosphere. The musical fountain in the center had long stopped, and several dead bodies were floating in the almost dry pool.
There was dead silence.
"The supermarket is on the basement floor." Cheng Yi said in a very low voice, afraid of disturbing something that might be inside.
Lu Qianzhi nodded and led everyone towards the stairwell.
Regardless of whether the elevator still has power or not, it is obviously unwise to take the elevator at this time.
Jiang Chuyi stopped and looked straight up.
Lu Qianzhi looked up in confusion and saw that the second floor should be the women's clothing area. A plastic model wearing a light white dress was standing in front of the railing.
Just when Jiang Chuyi stopped because of her skirt, the patio on the top floor was being opened.
Two agile figures descended lightly from above. They were wearing black combat uniforms and made no sound.
