Chapter 79 Uninvited Guests
The sky was gloomy, the ground was covered with snow, and the car was driving fast on the road. The vegetation on both sides changed from lush green trees to withered branches and leaves. The cold wind was biting and the snow was falling. Looking up, the whole world turned white.
The car window was slightly cracked. Jiang Yunqi stretched out a hand, and a few snowflakes fell into his palm. After touching the warm body temperature, they immediately turned into water. He shook his hand and closed the car window again. His fingertips were slightly cold, and he was embraced in the warm embrace of the person next to him.
"This is the first time I've seen snow!" Tang Yichao leaned on the foggy glass window, staring at the snow scene outside, excited and excited.
Although Xu Huili was somewhat interested, he was not as emotional as Tang Yichao, so he leaned sideways, curled his lips slightly, and showed a mischievous smile: "Do you know what you look like now?"
Tang Yichao turned around: "What?"
"Like a husky."
"???"
"A husky with bright eyes seeing meat and bones." Xu Huili added the metaphor lightly. Tang Yichao
said faintly: "How can a mouth with a temperature of 36.5 degrees say words as cold as minus 100 degrees!"
Xu Huili touched the center of his lips with his fingertips and smiled: "What's wrong?"
"Ahhh, I'll fight you!" Tang Yichao rushed over and used both hands to ravage Xu Huili's hair.
The two of them fought back and forth in the back seat, and the car was shaking a little.
Jixue looked around with a bewildered look.
Gu Bingchen, who was driving, braked suddenly and then stepped on the accelerator, causing the two people who were fighting in the back seat to slip. One of them hit his head on the car window and the other twisted his wrist.
Xu Huili grabbed his right wrist and let go of Tang Yichao in pain. He looked at Gu Bingchen's back and muttered, "You are such a bad person, bullying a child."
Gu Bingchen sneered, "If you don't know, you two would think you were having sex in the car."
Tang Yichao's face changed and his eyes widened. He covered his head with one hand and grimaced in pain. He pointed at himself and Xu Huili with the other hand, then bent down and pretended to vomit, "Me? With him? Having sex in the car? Yue~"
Xu Huili also moved closer to Jixue in disgust.
Jixue went from being a spectator to a victim.
Jiang Yunqi caught a glimpse of Jixue, who looked unnatural, and lowered his eyes and sighed.
He didn't want to take the girl with him, but the girl's tone was firm, and her pair of azure eyes sparkled in the darkness: "Brother Jiang, I'm not afraid, I can do it."
Thinking that the girl was alone, he didn't feel comfortable leaving her with other people, so he nodded in agreement.
From then on, Jixue became a member of their team.
She was the youngest among the group, and wanted to get close to Xu Huili, thinking that the two might have common topics.
As a result, the former was more mature, and the latter was more naughty, and they couldn't get along at all.
Jiang Yunqi turned on the intercom and whispered, "After we reach the next rest stop, Xiaoxue will go to your place."
The intercom rustled twice, and Chu Wanyue's clear voice rang out, "She should have been with us."
Jiang Yunqi touched his nose and felt that his arrangements before departure were a bit hasty and naive.
It was getting close to dusk, and the sky was dim. The weak light penetrated the gaps in the clouds and sprinkled on the snow all over the ground. The dead leaves on the branches were rustling in the cold wind. The next moment, the dead leaves fell to the ground and were quickly covered by heavy snow.
The snow was creaking underfoot, and a regular knock on the window interrupted the conversation in the car.
Gu Bingchen rolled down the window. It was Lin Yu.
He was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, without an umbrella, and layers of snow fell on him. If you don't look closely, a timid person might think he was a snowman.
"There's a gas station ahead. How about we go there to rest for a night?" The wind and snow were too loud, and Lin Yu's face was covered by a scarf, so his voice was very muffled. For a moment, it was difficult to hear what he was saying.
Gu Bingchen didn't say anything, just nodded.
Because there were more people on Lin Yu's side, in order to save gasoline, they all traveled in a minibus with good performance.
Two off-road vehicles and a minibus stopped at a parking lot next to the gas station. There was a canopy on top to block the accumulation of snow.
Everyone got out of the car and walked on the snow, wasting some energy before they got to the gas station.
This gas station must be quite old. The wall of the building is peeling off, spider webs are everywhere, and small insects fly by from time to time.
There are many abandoned vehicles lying in the gas station. Some of the doors of the vehicles are open and there is no one inside. Some of the doors of the vehicles are closed, and there are either dead bodies emitting foul odors or frozen zombies inside.
The water blade appeared out of thin air and quietly cut off the head of the zombie. The black and red mucus was frozen by ice before it splashed out.
Lin Yu noticed that someone had taken action, so he put away his weapon.
There is a convenience store next to the gas station. The glass doors and windows of the convenience store are broken all over the floor, and there are reddish-brown blood stains on them. Walking on the broken glass, there are indeed two or three staggering zombies inside.
There is no need for Gu Bingchen and his team to take action, as Lin Yu's team has already solved the problem first.
The convenience store is not large, about 40 square meters. Not only are there no items on the shelves, but they are also scattered all over the floor. Looking down, the floor is full of snack packaging bags and mineral water bottles. There is so much garbage that it is impossible to find a place to step.
A strange gust of wind blew up in the room, and then swept the garbage out of the door. Tang Yichao clapped his hands, hiding his achievements and fame.
The broken doors and windows could not resist the cold wind. They were not allowed to light an open flame at the gas station, which made the thin people wrap their coats tightly, huddle in the corner, and shiver.
Xie Er looked up and glanced outside the convenience store. After thinking about it, he called Chu Wanyue. The two of them went out and drove the SUV to the door. The car barely resisted the cold wind.
The gas station could not light an open flame, and the weak moonlight was better than nothing. Lin Zipei took out compressed biscuits and mineral water from the space and distributed dinner one by one. When his footsteps stopped at Gu Bingchen and the others, Lin Zijin spoke.
He held soft bread and sweet milk in his hands, sat on the chair that Lin Zipei had wiped clean, with a dignified look on his face, and spoke with malice in his eyes: "I thought some people were really righteous, but they are just coveting free supplies."
"Otherwise, why would they follow us to the capital? Don't you think so, brother?"
Lin Zipei hunched his shoulders inward, lowered his head, and trembled with the cold. How could he dare to agree with Lin Zijin's words?
Tang Yichao rolled his eyes: "Who wants your stuff?"
He said, and took out a bunch of snacks from his backpack.
"Well, the ham sausage is delicious~"
"This honey chicken leg is not bad either~"
He opened the packages one by one, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat, which strongly suppressed the fragrance of bread.
Tang Yichao raised his eyebrows and had a provocative smile on his face.
Lin Zijin was full of anger, threw the milk on the ground and stomped hard.
The box exploded with a muffled sound, and the milky white liquid flowed on the dusty ground. The faint milky fragrance made the other team members who were chewing on dry biscuits swallow their saliva.
Gu Bingchen turned on a strong flashlight, illuminating the whole place. He smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. Tang Xiaochao is young and ignorant, so he acted rashly."
Lin Yu smiled dryly. It was Lin Zijin who started the trouble, so how could he dare to say anything wrong about Tang Yichao.
But Tang Yichao's move was the beginning.
Seeing Gu Bingchen and his companions taking out various supplies from their backpacks, Lin Yu's eyes were red with envy.
Especially after Jiang Yunqi tore open a box of self-heating hot pot, the dry aroma of chili mixed with the meaty aroma of chicken legs made people salivate.
I don't know who swallowed so loudly that Jiang Yunqi raised his eyes and took a look.
Tang Hanhan was not that embarrassed. She squatted on the ground, slowly moved her feet, walked up to Tang Yichao, and whispered: "I will exchange my crystal core for a box of self-heating rice noodles with you, can I?"
Tang Yichao had just finished eating a chicken leg, his lips were greasy, and he said vaguely: "How many crystal cores will you give me?"
"The price of the Dijing base is about 30 crystal cores for a box of self-heating hot pot. I... I will give you 50! Is that okay?" Tang Hanhan showed a painful expression. The weather was too cold and her father's health was not good. It would be good for him to eat something hot. Otherwise, he would not have the audacity to come here to exchange supplies.
Tang Yichao was shocked by the price and said quickly: "It doesn't have to be so expensive. You are my friend... How about this, 20 crystal cores, is that acceptable?"
As expected, it is a base in the capital. The prices are so high. The exchange mall in their Chuyang base only sells 15 crystal cores.
This is simply more profiteer than their boss.
Gu Bingchen sneezed and frowned. Who is talking about him?
Tang Hanhan did not refuse and said in surprise: "Thank you! When you arrive at the base, tell me if you need anything, I will protect you!"
"Uncle probably can't eat spicy food, this is lighter!"
"Wow, Tangtang, you are so nice!"
The two did not hide their deal from anyone. Tang Hanhan held the self-heating rice noodles, happily poured water on it, covered it with a lid and waited slowly, and then chatted with Tang Zhengqing.
Lin Zijin also wanted to eat hot food, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he had to secretly despise Lin Zipei for being so useless and not having some self-heating food in the space.
The winter night was even colder, and Gu Bingchen and the others were not confident about the night watchmen on Lin Yu's side, so they also kept watch in pairs in their team.
The high-intensity flashlight was adjusted to a lower level, but every corner of the convenience store could still be seen clearly.
Considering that people who drive during the day need to rest more, Tang Yichao took the initiative to pull Xu Huili to keep watch, and the two of them played Gobang near the door with the help of the flashlight.
Xu Huili thought Qi was too childish, and was attracted by Tang Yichao's bet that "the winner will be the other party's younger brother for a day."
The rule is two wins out of three games, and they each won one game, which is the deciding game.
Tang Yichao holds the black pieces, and Xu Huili holds the white pieces.
The white pieces fall first, followed by the black pieces.
Tang Yichao's strategy is to "block the road."
While the two were playing chess, they did not forget to pay attention to the situation around them.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss"
In the silent winter night, several strange black shadows swam on the thick white snow.
Xu Huili dropped the white chess piece, his eyes slightly cold.
I thought it was a peaceful and harmonious night.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest arrived.
