Chapter 766 The Apocalypse Has Truly Arrived (13)
After driving for most of the day, the cars in front pulled over and stopped to get ready for lunch.
The RV was spacious enough, and they were well-prepared. When it was time to eat, a small table was set up in the back, and everyone could order whatever they wanted to eat, while Ning Yan was in charge of bringing it out.
Xiao Zhongming naturally sat down next to Ning Yan, the two of them very close.
Xiao Zhongming rolled some shredded potatoes and scallions into the thin spring pancake, spread some chili sauce on it, rolled it into a pretty thin roll, and handed it to Ning Yan. "Mmm."
Ning Yan took it and took a bite. The dough was still in the same state as when it was first put in, slightly hot to the touch, yet chewy.
The potato shreds were cut extremely finely and evenly, and stir-fried until just cooked through, resulting in a delicious texture. Ning Yan ate it with great relish.
After she finished one, Xiao Zhongming rolled up another one for her with bean sprouts. Ning Yan took it and said, "You should eat this too, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Wu Yue, sitting opposite the two: ...
Good heavens, she finally realized something was wrong. Her eldest son had started rooting up cabbages, and he was rooting up Ning Yan's most beautiful and delicate jade cabbage!
Haha, she'll soon have a daughter-in-law!
Ning's mother ate her white porridge with pickled vegetables, trying her best not to look at her daughter. Actually, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with her daughter being with Zhongming.
So, Ning's mother, who had noticed the signs a few days ago, had been pretending not to know anything.
Only Ning's father had a premonition when his daughter gave the wooden plaque to Xiao Zhongming that their two families were actually already tied together, and it wouldn't be bad if their children could become in-laws.
The weather isn't too hot yet, so many people just find a shady spot to sit, make a bowl of instant noodles, or take out some homemade steamed buns or pancakes to eat, and that's how they have a meal.
After Ning Yan finished eating, Xiao Zhongming handed her a cup of spiritual spring water.
Today is the 21st. The well water hasn't fully returned to its original level yet. It should only produce about one bucket of water a day, about 20 liters, which is enough for their family to drink.
Soon, the convoy started moving again.
Xiao Zhongming took over driving and told Ning Yan to rest in the back for a while.
About an hour later, we passed a large gas station.
The zombies at the gas station were dealt with by the group of people who had awakened superpowers. The people who took action got gas first, and the others lined up.
Xiao Zhongming followed suit and got out of the car to refuel.
Ning Yan got out of the car with him, taking the opportunity to stretch her muscles.
Just then, an old woman came over with a seven or eight-year-old child.
"Hey girl, please have mercy! My son thinks we're taking up too much space and wants to kick us out. I see your car is big, could you give us a ride?"
Ning Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the car behind the old lady, then quickly looked away: "Sure, fifty catties of grain, I'll take you to your lodgings for tonight."
The old lady's expression immediately changed. She had been watching this family all noon. They hadn't cooked lunch, but they had thrown out a lot of disposable lunch boxes, which meant they had a lot of food in stock.
The family's food supplies are running low. If the old woman is a little shameless, she might be able to get three meals a day, and her son might be able to eat a few more bites.
I never expected that this little bitch would actually ask her to pay grain. If she had grain, would she need to bother with this?
The old lady immediately raised her voice and began to accuse, "What? You're asking me for fifty catties of grain just for sitting in your car? Are you robbing me?"
Where would I, an old woman, get food to give you!
Oh dear, these young people nowadays…
"It's alright if he doesn't want to help you. Since your son doesn't want to help you, I can teach him a lesson!"
After Ning Yan finished speaking, she went straight to the black car. After the old lady got out of the car, her son did not lock the door. Ning Yan pulled the door open and reached out to pull the man out. "You are the old lady's son, right?"
Without waiting for a reply, she swung her fist and punched the man in the face. "These young people nowadays, they can't even abandon their own mothers and sons. Are they even human?"
Today I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother, who's almost driven to her death by your behavior..."
The commotion had already attracted a lot of attention, but everyone wisely kept quiet.
After all, nobody's stupid. It's the apocalypse, and a moment of kindness might lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble. They might even lose their lives for some supplies. They want to live a few more days.
After being punched, the middle-aged man tried to fight back, but the next second, with a crack, Ning Yan dislocated his arm with a punch. Then he received two big slaps to the face. "Shameless bastard, I'm disciplining you to give you face, and you still dare to fight back."
I'll beat you to death!
None of the members of this family have awakened any superpowers, yet they still dare to scheme against others. Have their brains been eaten by zombies?
The old lady: ...The old lady forgot to cry and quickly ran over to stop Ning Yan.
"Let go! Stop hitting him! Grandson, please, please beg this girl to stop hitting your father."
The middle-aged man also begged for mercy: "Girl, spare my life! I didn't mean to abandon my mother!"
The child was obedient; he came over and tried to hug Ning Yan's leg.
Ning Yan quickly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the child, "Don't touch me, or I won't hesitate to give you a bullet."
The child froze in fear, then burst into tears. This woman had a gun! A gun! He didn't want to die.
Ning Yan looked into the family's car.
The woman in the car carefully opened the car door and got out. "Sister, sister, to be honest, it was because the old lady saw that you were eating well that she wanted to come along and get a few meals from you. Even if we are unfilial, we would never abandon our child and mother."
We were wrong, but if you hit them, please don't hit me, okay?
As she spoke, she moved closer to her son, then suddenly pulled him behind her. Seeing that Ning Yan didn't move, she quickly shoved the child into the car.
"You rascal, hurry up and get in the car! Can't you see the girl is ignoring you?"
The middle-aged man stood up, but halfway up, he cried out in pain; his arm was still dislocated.
Just then, Xiao Zhongming finished refueling and said, "Yanyan, let's go."
Ning Yan: "Don't let me see your family again, or next time it won't be as simple as just a couple of slaps!"
The old lady didn't dare utter a sound and slunk back to her car.
Those who witnessed this scene knew that Ning Yan had a gun. Even if she had superpowers, she was still afraid of bullets, so no one dared to loiter around in front of them during the rest of the trip.
The lead vehicle continued to lead the way, but soon the group split into two routes: one to the national base and the other to the Southern Peace Base.
Some people have received information that Ping An Base is located near the sea and has abundant resources. Many people there have awakened superpowers, and if they go there, they might also awaken superpowers.
Many people shared this idea, and even some small teams disagreed. They argued for half the night, then split up, mainly dividing up supplies. At dawn, they went their separate ways.
