Chapter 18 Deviation

Xiaohuan, who was the first to wake up in the morning, washed up and carried a small kettle to water the seedlings by the window.

When he watered the second flowerpot, he was surprised to find that the seeds had sprouted.

He excitedly opened the door of the master bedroom and was about to tell his parents the good news when he found that his parents were sleeping soundly in bed.

Mom and Dad had been busy outside yesterday and must be very tired!

So Xiaohuan moved more gently.

He turned his head and saw that his sister had woken up too. She also did not wake up Mom and Dad, but looked around with her big round eyes.

Xiaohuan felt a sense of pride in his heart.

See! His sister is as sensible as him!

Even if she wakes up, she never disturbs Mom and Dad!

Xiaohuan picked up his sister and walked out of the room and into the kitchen on tiptoe.

He shook the empty bottle, and his sister in his arms immediately reached out to grab it.

"You must be hungry. I'll make you some milk powder."

Xiaohuan handed the bottle to Shushu and tiptoed to get the milk powder from the kitchen shelf.

He put the milk powder on the table and then reached out to take the bottle from Shushu.

But the moment he took the bottle, he was stunned.

When did the bottle crack?

"Xiaohuan?"

Chen Qingqing woke up the moment Xiaohuan entered the bedroom, but she found Xiaohuan's cautious look very interesting, so she pretended to be asleep.

Seeing Xiaohuan carrying Shuan Shu out of the bedroom, she immediately followed him, and saw Xiaohuan taking milk powder, knowing that he wanted to make milk powder for his sister.

Chen Qingqing felt very relieved.

But she didn't want the children to boil water, worried that they would scald themselves, so she called her son softly.

But Xiaohuan suddenly shuddered when he heard the voice.

Chen Qingqing walked over, only to see him hiding something in his arms.

Chen Qingqing: "What are you hiding, Xiaohuan."

"No, nothing!"

The child was not good at lying, and a pair of eyes that kept blinking because of nervousness explained everything.

Chen Qingqing laughed: "Did you make a mistake? Mom won't blame you."

Xiaohuan then lowered his head and handed over the cracked bottle.

"I don't know what happened...it just broke."

Chen Qingqing was stunned, took the bottle, smiled and shook her head: "This is not Xiaohuan's fault, some bottles are of poor quality and will break."

"And even if it really broke, what can it do? You didn't do it on purpose."

Chen Qingqing squatted down and touched her son's head.

Although her son's understanding made her very satisfied, sometimes she would feel sad because her son was too sensible.

He was only six years old and didn't need to be so cautious.

"Is it really not my fault?" Xiaohuan slowly raised his head, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Of course! And mommy has already stockpiled a lot of milk bottles, so even if you break them for fun, mommy won't blame you."

Xiao Huan finally smiled when she heard this, and corrected Chen Qingqing's words: "Mom, I won't break my sister's milk bottle for fun!"

"What are you two talking about, so lively." Lin Bo also walked out of the bedroom, rubbed his hair, and was still a little sleepy.

"Dad, you woke up too!"

Xiao Huan handed his sister to mommy, and ran to the two small flower pots on the balcony: "Mom and Dad, look! The seeds have grown!"

The two walked over and took a look, and it was true.

Chen Qingqing went into the space to take a look, and when she came out, her expression was a little dazed.

"How is it?" Lin Bo's heart was tense.

"Have the seeds in the space sprouted?"

Chen Qingqing: "... Not only have they sprouted, they are already two centimeters tall!"

Chen Qingqing then took out the flower pots in the space.

Like the seeds planted outside, they also sprouted overnight last night, but the seeds placed on the balcony were less than 1 centimeter, while the seedlings in the space have grown to two centimeters.

Comparing the two seedling pots, the one in the space is obviously growing more luxuriantly!

This realization made the family very happy.

Although there is no place to put the flower pots in the space, they are already satisfied to have some fresh vegetables!

The family had breakfast and prepared to set off.

From H City to A City, if you take the shortest route, you need to pass through the center of C City. If the road conditions are good, it is estimated to take a total of one day's drive.

If they can safely pass through City C as planned, they will be able to reach the small fishing village in City A the next day.

Lin Bo originally planned to buy an RV for travel, but RVs are too conspicuous and can easily be targeted, so the family finally decided to use the current "Xiaobai".

Although it is quite old, it was maintained at the beginning of the year, so there won't be any major problems.

Chen Qingqing was holding Zhuo Zhuo, and Lin Bo was holding Xiao Huan's hand, standing downstairs, looking at the balcony on the fourth floor.

I don't know if I will have the chance to come back in the future.

Xiao Huan waved towards the balcony and turned to get in the car.

Chen Qingqing put her daughter in the safety bassinet on the back seat, put a few backpacks filled with things in the trunk, and got in the passenger seat.

"Let's go?" Lin Bo glanced at his wife, who nodded gently.

The car was started, and while there was a network, the phone turned on the navigation mode, and the destination was the coastal city of City A.

If you take the highway, it will take about 13 hours to get there.

But because the zombie virus will break out from time to time, many drivers will turn into zombies while driving, and there will often be chain rear-end collisions on the highway.

They still chose to avoid the highway.

In this case, the time required to go around the bend is twice as long as taking the highway.

They don't mind the length of time, as long as they can reach their destination safely.

Before leaving City H, they drove to the villa area.

There was still no one here, and they secretly hoped that no one would notice this place, and that the supplies could be safely stored here until the day they came back.

On the way, Chen Qingqing told Lin Bo about the things she had encountered in her previous life.

Including the various natural disasters that would be encountered in the future.

"There will be an insect plague in two months, and the cold winter will come in late November."

"I hope we can collect enough meat by then."

Lin Bo paused: "What does this have to do with meat?"

Chen Qingqing blinked: "I forgot to tell you!"

"The insect plague means not only the passage of mutated locusts, but also many parasites will cause chaos."

"By then, some other animals and marine life will be infected with parasites."

"Some organisms infected with parasites will die, while others will survive and be controlled by parasites, turning into something similar to zombies."

Chen Qingqing recalled the past and sighed: "The insect disaster lasted for half a year before someone found the most effective insecticide."

Lin Bo: "I see, that's why you bought so many boxes of insecticide."

"But I don't understand why you only bought those two brands?"

Chen Qingqing smiled: "Who would have thought that the most effective insecticide is to mix these two brands of insecticide together."

Lin Bo clicked his tongue, this is indeed unpredictable.

And this will also become another guarantee for their family's safety in the future.

"Then there is the extreme heat, and the drought brought by the extreme heat..."

Chen Qingqing choked up when she said this.

Lin Bo did not ask any more questions.

Because according to Chen Qingqing, she died in this drought in her previous life.

Yes, the insect plague ate up all the food on the ground, the cold froze several meters underground, freezing all the roots to death in the soil, and when the extreme heat came, even if some precious seeds were hard to find, they would not survive.

The already polluted water sources dried up completely, and the sea level began to drop. It was as if the water was being absorbed crazily by something deep in the earth.

And the problem of drought was not solved until the day Chen Qingqing died.
