Chapter 51 Leaving City A
The city has lost its former prosperity. After experiencing three natural disasters, the neat and clean streets have become dilapidated. With the occasional high and low unpleasant roars of zombies, the whole city looks particularly desolate and terrifying.
After practicing zombies around City A for a few days, Shu Xin, Xiangwen and Mu Qimai have gained a basic grasp of their abilities. Yan Mo is not at the same level as them.
Just as the three of them were getting the hang of it, Yan Mo's control over his superpowers had already risen to the second level, making him a second-level superpower user.
On the last day before leaving City A, Shuxin and her friends did not go out. They got up early in the morning to prepare various ingredients and make rice balls, bento, steaks, pizza, porridge and other foods that were convenient to eat outside.
I will be on the road starting tomorrow. It is definitely not like living in the community, and I will have few opportunities to cook by myself.
They make some convenient daily food by themselves and put it in the space, so they can take it out and eat it when the time comes.
There is still some prepared food in Shuxin Space, but most of them are not suitable for eating out, so they make some simple ones and prepare them well.
Compressed biscuits, self-heating rice and the like can be eaten only when they cannot avoid being in front of others. If they have the conditions to eat good food, why should they force themselves to do so?
The aroma of various kinds of rice and dishes wafted through the room all day long until it dissipated late at night. The number of rabbits, sheep, cows, and pigs in the comfortable space had been reduced by one tenth. Stoves and pots were placed in every place in the house where one could step foot. The rice had been steamed in ten large stainless steel buckets in advance, which should be enough for them to eat for a while.
The next morning, Shuxin and his friends got up early. Everyone took a nice shower and enjoyed it once more before leaving. Although they could take a shower in the RV on the road, it was not as comfortable as taking a shower in the room.
When leaving City A today, they did not take the highway, but chose a road they took every day.
Most people flee in panic and choose the road they think is the fastest, driving onto the highway in large numbers. Accidents are more likely to occur when there are too many people.
Everyone is trying to get ahead and no one is willing to give way to anyone else. Once two cars collide with each other, the cars following closely behind will definitely be caught off guard and crash into them one after another, causing a large chain accident.
The strong smell of blood has a fatal attraction to zombies.
And who can guarantee that among those who escaped, there will be no one who was scratched or bitten by the zombies and concealed the fact? It wouldn't take many, just one in a hundred people, and the situation would get out of control.
The chaotic highway has no village in front and no shop behind, and there is not even a place to hide. It is truly like crying out to heaven and earth for help, but no one can help.
Shuxin and the other three all know how to drive. Before they set off, they had agreed that the four of them would take turns driving. Originally, Shuxin was not included, but Shuxin took the initiative to offer to help share the burden.
"It would be too much of a mental drain on the three of you to just take turns driving. If something unexpected happens, you're all in good shape, and it would be useless to leave me here to assist even if I'm in good shape."
"I'll take turns driving with you, so that each of you can rest longer and recover more fully."
The reasons Shuxin gave were so reasonable that they could not refute them, and finally they decided that each of them would drive for two hours and Shuxin would drive for one hour.
It was not her turn to drive, so Shuxin felt a little sleepy sitting in the back seat and dozed off on Yan Mo's shoulder. She cooked until very late yesterday and went to bed late. As soon as she sat in the car, she felt swaying and sleepiness overwhelmed her. There were trustworthy people in the car, so Shuxin let herself fall asleep.
Listening to the even breathing sound beside him, Yan Mo picked up the thin blanket beside him and gently covered Shuxin with it. They set out early, so it was still a little chilly in the morning.
Yan Mo adjusted his sitting position so that Shuxin could lean back more comfortably, so that Shuxin wouldn't have neck pain when she woke up.
The extreme heat has passed, and the temperature has returned to normal. There will be no spring and autumn after the end of the world, only hot summer and cold winter.
We will probably be entering winter again, but it won’t be as sudden as the extreme cold, so there will be some time for the transition.
When I woke up, I was surrounded by unfamiliar scenes. I was confused and asked, "Where are we?"
"We're almost at Hongjin Township. Are you feeling sleepy? Huh?" Yan Mo's big hands rubbed Shu Xin's soft face unconsciously. The touch was so good that he couldn't control himself.
Shu Xin rubbed her eyes to wake herself up: "Well~ How long have I slept?"
"It's been almost three hours. I woke up at the right time. Let's get up and drink some water. We'll find a suitable place to stop and rest for a while and have lunch."
Yan Mo picked up the thermos beside him, turned it on and handed it to Shuxin. Inside was the brown sugar, red dates and ginger tea that he had brewed before going out. Every week before Shuxin's due date, Yan Mo would replace the water that Shuxin drank with this.
"Okay, thank you, Dad Yan!" Shu Xin said casually after taking the cup of water handed over by Yan Mo.
Shu Xin has become accustomed to her husband's meticulous care and sometimes even jokingly calls Yan Mo "Dad Yan".
I remember the first time Yan Mo heard this title from her mouth, her expression was wonderful, and he grabbed her, held her in his arms and kissed her for a long time before letting her go.
At that time, she almost suspected that she would become the first woman to pass out from lack of oxygen after kissing. Fortunately, it did not really happen, otherwise she would have added another black mark in her history in front of Yan Mo.
Later, she screamed more often, and Yan Mo no longer reacted as strongly as he did at the beginning, as if he had gotten used to it.
If Shu Xin knew that Yan Mo would press her down on the bed and make her shout the last two words in the future, she would cry out of regret.
Makimai, who was driving in the front, was concentrating on the road conditions and didn't feel anything much. Xiangwen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a numb expression.
The sweet atmosphere between the young couple in the back seat spread throughout the entire car, with no consideration for his feelings as a single man.
It felt like a dog standing on the roadside being kicked by a passing couple.
He felt that he should not be in the car, he should be under the car.
Hugging myself with grievancejpg.
Shu Xin and his group parked the car behind a hillside with a mountain next to it. They let the white tiger and snow wolf, who had been cooped up in the car for the whole morning, out to ventilate and forage for food.
The off-road vehicle was put away and replaced with a modified RV.
When I left City A in the morning, there were many people and cars, and the roads were poor and narrow. Driving an RV was not as convenient as driving off-road.
Now that they have changed cars, after lunch, Makimai and Niu Xiangwen, who have been driving for the whole morning, can lie down and have a good rest.
