Chapter 142 Going Out Alone
What happened next was simple: everyone went back, and it was clear that Old Jiang was beyond saving.
They could only find a place to bury Old Jiang on the spot. After Old Jiang died, Jiang Yun remained in a daze, not uttering a single word.
In the end, everyone continued searching the house and obtained a large amount of supplies.
The car they brought was destroyed in the explosion, so they had to abandon some things and walk back with their belongings.
On the way back, we encountered several waves of zombies, but fortunately, no one was injured or killed. It just took longer than expected, and we didn't get home until tonight.
After that, everyone rested.
Around midnight, a fierce wind howled outside, scattering sand and gravel everywhere. In addition to the sand and gravel, the wind also whipped up all sorts of random things, rattling the windows loudly.
The windows in Mu Qingyu's house are bulletproof, so there was no damage, but the noise outside was very frightening.
The next day, the sky was still gray, with only a faint light shining through the window.
The wind had died down a bit, but everything outside the window was shrouded in mist.
Mu Qingrong wrapped herself up like a mummy and went out.
When I got home, I shook off a cloud of yellow sand.
"Sister, the weather outside is terrible. Last night, many people's windows were smashed by things blown up by the strong wind. Fortunately, we brought back a lot of things this time." Mu Qingrong reported the situation outside to Mu Qingyu as soon as she returned.
"Sister, I'm thinking, this time when Xiao Mo and I go out, we should take the food and water we're all allocated. But let's not share the other odds and ends, since they need them and we don't really need them." Mu Qingrong carefully sought Mu Qingyu's opinion.
Mu Qingyu waved her hand: "How you handle this is your own business, you don't need to ask me. But you still need to ask Xiao Mo about his share."
"All I need is food and water," Mo Huaiyu said. They were all people who had faced life and death together, so he wasn't too concerned about such things.
Mu Qingrong was right; they encountered a sandstorm upon their return. Being from the south, they had little experience dealing with this kind of weather.
So let's leave everything else for those who need it first.
Mu Qingyu didn't go this time, so she wouldn't interfere with the distribution of supplies. She could do whatever she wanted with the two children.
With Mu Qingrong back safely, her thoughts turned to other things.
The numbers on the wooden door in that space haven't changed for many days.
She recently planted all the seeds that needed to be planted, and the fish, shrimp and aquatic plants in the pond don't need her care; it seems like her own home is slowly growing.
The bees also made their home in the grove, and from then on, the plants in Mu Qingyu's space would be pollinated by bees.
Mu Qingyu's relatives finally left, feeling relieved.
So, Mu Qingyu wanted to go out!
She has some knowledge about sandstorms.
She had experienced this countless times in the five years of her previous life.
If you avoid the first two or three days of a sandstorm, the subsequent sandstorms won't be as severe.
If you go out, you need to be careful to avoid air currents and tornadoes, then your safety can be basically guaranteed.
This kind of weather affects not only humans, but also zombies, who are also transformed from humans.
In the past life, there were many fearless people or people who desperately needed supplies to survive. They deliberately went out when sandstorms occurred, because fewer people went out at that time, and the chances of obtaining supplies were greater.
Mu Qingyu thinks so too. She has experience traveling during sandstorms.
Moreover, this time, she only plans to go out alone and not take anyone else with her.
Firstly, this kind of weather is not suitable for large-scale travel, and secondly, it's the first time everyone has experienced a sandstorm, so things at home are in chaos and there are many things to deal with.
Besides, the others have just returned from their adventure, and this is a better time for them to rest and recuperate.
Most importantly, Mu Qingyu felt that with her current abilities, it would be more convenient for her to travel alone, and she even had a very clear goal of collecting supplies.
Just yesterday, Mu Qingyu was preparing to go out to look for Mu Qingrong, and the arrangements at home had been made. She felt that these few days were the perfect time for her to go out.
However, after making her decision, she waited two days to spend the first two chaotic days with everyone.
Mu Qingrong has been extremely busy these past two days, and Mo Huaiyu has been inseparable from her.
Until the third day after the sandstorm arrived.
Mu Qingyu then told Mu Qingrong about her idea of going out alone to find supplies.
Mu Qingrong thought about it for a long time, and hesitated several times before finally agreeing. He didn't say that he had to go with her. His sister had given him enough room to grow, so how could he keep holding her back?
And so the matter was settled. The siblings gave each other many instructions before Mu Qingyu finally packed her bags and set off.
"You don't need to worry too much about me. You all know my current strength. I'm not the kind of person who has to fight to win or get the supplies. I'll run first if there's danger." Before setting off, Mu Qingyu reassured her younger brother.
"The place I want to go this time is quite far, so I won't be back so soon. And the road conditions are unpredictable, so don't worry too much if I haven't been back for a long time. Just like last time when I was in the hospital, it's very likely that I haven't come back because I've gone somewhere to avoid the risks."
"Don't come looking for me so easily. I'm stronger than you, I don't need you to look for me. Your biggest task is to guard the house and wait for me to come back."
Seeing Mu Qingyu rambling on and on, Mu Qingrong quickly turned her head away and waved her away, saying, "I know, I know, you've told me so many times, you should leave now!"
If you don't leave now, I might lose control and want to go out with you!
So, Mu Qingyu set off, bundled up tightly in the sandstorm!
Mu Qingyu left the village before releasing the off-road vehicle from her spatial storage. She had retrieved it from a shopping mall parking lot; it was tall and imposing.
Mu Qingyu had several goals for this trip.
First, she wanted to go check out the village that Mu Qingrong and the others had mentioned! Those people had explosives, and the strange house that couldn't be detected by mental energy also piqued Mu Qingyu's interest.
Secondly, she wanted to go to the steel market in the east of the city. It was the largest steel trading center in the city, and before the apocalypse, its daily throughput was in the tens of thousands of tons.
Recently, Mu Qingrong has not only been reinforcing her own house, but also helping others reinforce theirs. Mu Qingyu's spatial storage has limited steel bars, and there aren't many left.
Mu Qingyu has no shortage of food; she's after building materials.
Next to the steel trading market is the building materials trading center.
These two were her main targets for this trip.
The last goal is water!
