Chapter 167 Too Hard
Seeing Su Cheng complaining, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo did not urge him and let him scold them until midnight. Ji Yanmo saw Lu Xingtang yawning and tears in his eyes, forcing Su Cheng to stop nagging and let Su Cheng go to the west room to sleep or go back to the base to rest.
Su Cheng said, "Sister Tang is sleepy, then go to sleep. I'll have a good talk with Ji Yanmo!"
Ji Yanmo: "Okay, but I have a request. Don't come to my house for the next year!"
"No, at most one month!" Su Cheng bargained.
"Then a month!" Ji Yanmo was quite happy. So that night, after Lu Xingtang fell asleep, Ji Yanmo's ears were poisoned by Su Cheng. "You think I don't know why you want to move away from the base with Sister Tang? You bully me because I'm alone and have no woman..."
Lu Xingtang woke up in the morning and saw Su Cheng still chattering away. She paused for a moment, then quietly washed up and headed to the kitchen to cook. Breakfast was simple: a bowl of noodles for each person. Su Cheng finally paused, seeing Lu Xingtang had finished preparing breakfast. He devoured the noodles in big mouthfuls, pushing his bowl and chopsticks aside. "I'm going back to base. Remember to come back and visit. However, your house won't be left to you. It's been given to other survivors."
When Lu Xingtang and his companions moved out of the base, they knew their houses would be distributed to other survivors. The base was nearly rebuilt, and production was gradually resuming, but housing was in short supply. Many families, even after receiving housing, were still sleeping on the floor because their families were so large that they couldn't afford to share a room with one person, or even two or three people.
When extra houses become vacant, people will naturally take them away.
Lu Xingtang and the others didn't care. Their home was very close to the base, and it wouldn't take much time to go to the base and come back.
After Su Cheng left and Ji Yanmo cleaned up the dishes, his dark eyes fell on Lu Xingtang, very hot: "Wife, I haven't slept all night, you stay with me." He gave Lu Xingtang a princess hug and carried her back to the house. After a while, Lu Xingtang's moans were heard...
It was already the afternoon of the next day when Ji Yanmo let go of Lu Xingtang with satisfaction. Looking at Lu Xingtang's tired face and the tear marks beside his closed eyes, he kissed the corners of his eyes, got up and put on his clothes, took out a pheasant from the space, slaughtered it, and stewed it for Lu Xingtang.
We then surveyed the area around their home and immediately planned to plant crops and vegetables around it. They no longer raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, or geese. They had plenty of meat to eat, and their space was plentiful. Since their home was quite far from the base, they didn't have to worry about anyone smelling the meat.
So he took out a hoe and dug the ground, digging out the wild vegetables and weeds and throwing them aside, throwing the stones aside, and loosening the soil.
When the wild trees in the mountains grew up, they built a fenced yard.
However, even after Ji Yanmo finished his work, made chicken soup and prepared the meal, Lu Xingtang still hadn't woken up.
Ji Yanmo felt guilty and blamed him for using too much force.
…
After Ji Yanmo dug up the hillside land around the house and planted vegetables, they went out to look for supplies. Hangzhou's ecology was gradually recovering, but the wild vegetables around the base had been dug up and eaten by the survivors. They had to go out and bring back more supplies to avoid the survivors' suspicion.
So they went to find Su Cheng and asked Su Cheng to help keep an eye on the vegetables they had just planted, and to help water them if they didn't come back for several days.
"Where are you two going to find supplies?" Su Cheng asked with a little concern: "All the supplies near Hangzhou have been found by our base. Now if we want to find supplies, we have to go somewhere farther away." It's just like before, when Ji Yanmo went to Jiacheng to find supplies.
Ji Yanmo said, "Let's go to Xuancheng!" He had inquired about the situation in Xuancheng before. Xuancheng was much better than Jiacheng. He also heard that there was an evil gang in Xuancheng that was robbing houses and had hoarded a lot of food. They overturned the evil gang and brought the food back.
If successful, they won't have to go out to look for supplies for at least half a year. After half a year, the base will have supplies, and Hangzhou's ecological environment will not be fully recovered, but it will be almost recovered. At that time, they can look for supplies in Hangzhou and barter with the base.
Su Cheng knew something about the situation in Xuancheng and tried to persuade Ji Yanmo. Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang knew that Su Cheng was worried about them, so in order to prevent Su Cheng from worrying too much, they agreed reluctantly, but they were determined to go to Xuancheng.
Su Cheng was helpless. He wanted to let them take the supplies from the base, but the Fox Special Assistant was too strict. No one could take more than one pound of supplies from him!
I also warned him: "Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo have moved out of the base. They are now without positions and no material benefits to receive. You are not allowed to give them supplies. You must barter! Everyone in the base is doing this, and they are no exception. If word gets out, it will cause dissatisfaction among the survivors! As long as they come to barter, I will definitely handle it impartially and will not let them suffer any loss."
There is a shortage of material resources now, and it’s not that Fox Assistant doesn’t want to give it to Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, but 20 million pairs of eyes are staring at him, and he dare not show favoritism!
Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang left the base on foot. Worried that there were still survivors outside the base, they kept a low profile and wore their work clothes. They had specially left a set of clothes unwashed just to wear at times like this.
The city of Hangzhou was empty and quiet. They walked for a long time and only met survivors from their base, but no survivors from outside. Perhaps the survivors from outside knew that the Hope Base was destroyed in the thick fog, so they didn't come to try their luck.
Hangzhou was destroyed by acid rain and thick fog. The offline map in Lu Xingtang's hand became useless, and he could only rely on determining the direction to go to Xuancheng.
Originally they wanted to drive away from Hangzhou, but there were too many survivors on the road, so they did not take out the car. Instead, they waited until they left Hangzhou to confirm again and again that there were no survivors on the road. After finding the way to Xuancheng through the offline map, they took out a car from the space. It was the Volkswagen that Lu Xingtang drove before the outbreak of the apocalypse.
They changed into a new set of clothes and covered themselves up tightly so that any survivors passing by could not tell that it was them.
With a car, the road from Hangzhou to Xuancheng is easier to travel. Even if it is difficult, as long as they are sure there are no survivors, they will put the car into the space and walk across the damaged road full of gravel or cracks. When they reach a place where the road surface is intact, they will continue to confirm whether there are any survivors. If there are, they will not drive, but if there are no survivors, they will drive.
Even with a car, it took them three days to reach Xuancheng.
Before arriving in Xuancheng, they quietly put the car into the space and changed into tattered clothes. With Lu Xingtang's superb makeup skills, the embarrassment and decadence, hunger and helplessness of the two of them were vividly reflected.
Worried that some survivors would recognize them, Lu Xingtang changed her face through makeup techniques and could walk with a limp. She supported Ji Yanmo and slowly approached Xuancheng.
The evil gang set up a checkpoint on the only way to enter Xuancheng. Anyone who wanted to enter Xuancheng had to pay food, and without food, they were not allowed to enter Xuancheng.
Good night, I won't make a thank you list anymore. Some people say it affects the reading experience, especially when listening to books. So it won't appear in the future, but I will see your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, rewards, Xiaoxiang tickets, etc.
Mmm, I will ask for your monthly ticket from now on.
