53. Small islands in the lake
Chikawa immediately put three colorful tents into the doorway, this thing is the most conspicuous, the off-road vehicle is better to say, as the so-called eat a trench to grow a wisdom, Ming Ke is cautious, park it in the thatched grass, and cover it with some branches and dead leaves.
Coupled with the fact that they are still some distance from the intercontinental highway and there are trees on the side of the road, it is not easy to find this situation if you don't look closely.
It's not about guts, the main thing is that I don't want to make a difference.
"Dare to rush during the day, it's not an ordinary person. ”
The three of them plus Yo You, lying behind a small mound, Lao Hu whispered.
Ikekawa nodded.
Ming Ke didn't say a word, holding a police binoculars in his hand, closely monitoring the movements on the road.
With the roar of the engine and the noise of the tires, soon a dark blue commercial vehicle with at least 10 seats or more appeared in sight.
This section of the road is not bad, the other party's speed is not slow, and it is whistling past.
Because of this, there was a lot of movement.
There was a whining sound all around, which apparently alarmed some of the atavists, but if the car didn't slow down, they wouldn't be able to catch up.
The other party may not have looked at the surroundings at all, but Ikekawa got up slightly in order to get a better line of sight, because he noticed a large strange pattern on the car:
A head, split in two from the middle.
On the left, he has dark skin and a hideous face, with red eyes and fangs, like the legendary devil.
On the right is a woman's face, fair and gentle, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, holy and radiant, like an angel.
It's not surprising if this pattern appears in a comic book, but it's a bit strange when it's painted on a car.
"Mingke, what's that spray on the car?"
"True Ann Society. ”
Ming Ke's expression was a little wrong, revealing a bit of solemnity.
"I didn't expect them to exist. ”
"Really Anhui?" Lao Hu was surprised, obviously not unfamiliar with this string of words.
Only Chikawa looked confused.
Facing his puzzled gaze, Minke explained, "An evil organization. It is not clear when it was founded, but it became active five or six years ago, and it has a large number of congregations in the state...... It's that the world before was a bad land, and we want to create a perfect new world, where there is no class distinction, and all men are created equal. ”
When Chi Chuan heard this, he looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Shouldn't you also be a sect member?"
“......”
Ming Ke rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "If the True Ann Society is really as good as their teachings promote, I really don't mind joining, the key is that their so-called beliefs and teachings are just a front.
"As far as I know, the members of the Zhen'an Society are generally low-level people before the end of the world, or people who are dissatisfied with life, and they are under the high-level organization, under the slogan of killing the rich and helping the poor, and they do many things that hurt heaven and reason.
"People like Lao Hu are their preferred targets. ”
The old man smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated, my little family background can't get into their eyes." ”
"That's because you didn't have anything to do with them, or you try. ”
Ming Ke said in a deep voice: "More than 70% of the robberies and murders of the rich in Binzezhou every year are from the hands of the Zhen'an Society, for them, wealth is the original sin, no matter where your money comes from."
"In my opinion, the leaders of the Zhen'an Society are just a bunch of garbage who don't want to make progress and only complain, and then weave beautiful lies one after another, and gradually brainwash those who are absorbed by them, so as to use them for their own use. ”
Lao Hu nodded in agreement, and said with emotion: "Yes, in the end, don't they actually become rich? These people just can't see the good of others, and they will never be able to understand the hardships of starting a business. ”
Ikekawa probably understood.
In a word, the reason why the Zhen'an Association has been able to develop and grow is nothing more than to capture the hatred of the rich of many people.
"What I didn't expect was that the Zhen'an Association was still active. Mingke frowned.
The resilience of this evil organization was beyond his imagination.
"I think it's normal. Ikekawa said suddenly.
"Normal?"
"If True Ann is as big as you say, then there will always be survivors, and what do you think is what the vast majority of humans desperately need in this wasteland? No, what they need most is faith. ”
Ming Ke was slightly stunned, and there was a feeling of sudden opening.
The old Hu next to him echoed, "What Ikegawa-sama said is right, faith is more important than food to a certain extent, because food can at least be obtained through hard work, but faith determines a person's intention to survive." Like me.
"I remember when Ikekawa-sama joked with me that this plague was God's punishment, I was so desperate that I wanted to kill myself when I had a knife in my hand, because I had lost the courage and faith to live.
Of course, the so-called belief of the True Security Society is just a lie. ”
He paused at this point and looked at Ikekawa with a burning face.
If you really want to believe, you should also believe in the great Almighty God and Lord Ikekawa!
The True Security Society is a heresy!
"I see. Ming Ke sighed, "In other words, on this wasteland, Zhen'an will be even more like a fish in water." ”
"It's obvious. ”
......
Another day's journey.
In the middle of the afternoon, Ming Ke drove, Lao Hu sat in the co-pilot seat to study a map, Yo You lay on the back seat and fell asleep, and Chi Chuan looked a little wilted.
Mainly sat in the car for several days in a row, and it was uncomfortable to sit.
He didn't dare to enter the doorway, because he had tried, and if he entered the doorway space in a moving car, he would come out not in the car, but in the highway position before entering.
There seems to be a fixed-point coordinate.
"Eh, there's a lake in front of you, Shuiyue Lake. ”
As soon as Lao Hu's voice fell, Chi Chuan came to his senses, his eyes lit up, his back left the seat, leaned forward, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it, how far?"
"Keep going ahead, you should be able to get to it before dark, there's a junction to turn into, and it's not far from the interstate. ”
"Go!" Chi Chuan immediately clapped, "Ming Ke?"
"Okay. ”
You must know that it is summer, and although I haven't sweated much in the car, I still feel uncomfortable and itchy after not taking a shower for so many days.
Along the way, they really didn't see any big water sources next to the interstate, and now they must not miss a lake when they encounter it, just take a good bath.
With hope in my heart, the next journey will not be so boring.
Ikekawa began to prepare for the lake swim, shampoo and body wash are not lacking, and the shortcomings are to cover the shame of the fabric, especially Yoyo.
So he contacted Brother Qiang again and asked him to help get three pairs of swimming trunks and a small swimsuit.
[That's right, Brother Qiang, find a tailor to dig a hole in the tail vertebrae of the little swimsuit, I'm afraid I won't be able to dig it myself. 】
[Wow!What tricks do you want to play?Ogawa, I can warn you, the maximum death penalty for more than three years!]
[Roll the calf, my side is the end of the world. 】
[Can you do it to the young in the last days?Xiaochuan, you have changed...... By the way, how old is it? Is there a photo of it?
[You livestock, get out!]
The glow reflects the red sky, the off-road vehicle has long left the interstate, along a fairly flat loess road, staggering for half an hour, the field of vision in front of you suddenly widened, the trees became sparse, there was a green meadow in the distance, and further on, there was a sparkling lake.
"Huh?"
However, before the three of them could enjoy the surrounding scenery, their eyes were already attracted by a few wisps of smoke.
The lake, which was limited by its topography and could not be seen in its entirety, had a small island in the middle of the water as far as they could see.
It was from there that the smoke rose.
There are about a dozen small wooden houses built on it, and some human figures can be faintly seen.
"Someone lives on it!" Lao Hu was surprised.
Along the way, they had never seen anyone who dared to move in the sun, even the people of the Zhen'an Association they met in the morning were also sitting in a speeding car.
Not to mention cooking over a fire.
"You two have found that there is not a single atavistic person next to this lake. Ming Ke looked around and said.
On the way over, they encountered a few waves, but when they were close to the lake, the surroundings were completely quiet.
"Could it be that atavists don't like water, or are they afraid of water and can't swim?" Ikekawa mused.
Ming Ke nodded, "It's not that there is no such possibility, otherwise they would have made a fire to cook in the daytime, and they were still walking around, wouldn't they be worried about the atavists swimming over?"
"If that's the case, then this island is a paradise!" said Lao Hu with emotion.
Since the end of the world has just broken out, human beings have not fully understood some of the habits of the atavists, including their weaknesses.
For example, last time, the family of four used the blood of the atavists to cover their own smell.
He felt that even if he didn't find the so-called Purim Fortress, it would be worth the trip.
Mingke drove the car to a stop behind two crooked-necked trees on the side of the lake, and several people got out of the car one after another, stepping on some wet mud, to the edge of the lake, looking at the small island in the water.
The island is not large, about the size of two basketball courts, and the dozen or so cabins built on it have become slightly crowded and become obstacles, making it impossible to explore.
"Look! there's a ship coming!"
There is no need for Lao Hu to remind him, Ming Ke and Chi Chuan have already noticed.
From the edge of the lake to the island, a distance of hundreds of hals, a small fishing boat with two spiky ends, propelled by oars on either side, was slowly approaching them.
There were two people on it.
One sits at the stern of the boat and rows, and the other stands at the bow.
The paddling man was shirtless, and the man standing was wearing a fairly clean white shirt on top and black suit pants on the bottom, but the size was obviously out of place, and his feet were like buckets, and he was tied with a strip of red cloth around his waist.
After a while, about 20 yards from the shore, the boat stopped.
"What did you bring with you?"
The thin middle-aged man in a white shirt shouted at the top of his voice.
Ikekawa and Mingke looked at each other.
"It seems that people often come to this place to exchange supplies. Mingke whispered.
"You mean the catch?"
"Obviously, they live on a small island, and they can fish in peace, and there must be a lot of fish in such a big lake. So the resources they have are fish, which can be exchanged for other supplies from other survivors. ”
Lao Hu frowned and said: "If they roar like this, they are not afraid of attracting atavists." ”
"What does this have to do with them? If we are unfortunately killed by the atavists, the goods we bring with them just belong to them. ”
Ming Ke replied in a deep voice: "They have the most precious food resources, which means that they have the initiative, and taking risks is someone else's business." ”
Lao Hu said angrily: "This lake and island are not their home, if it were me, I would get a life jacket and swim over." ”
"Then I can guarantee that you will be killed before you reach the shore. ”
“......”
"There is clearly a group and order on this island, and it is unlikely that outsiders will easily get their hands on it. ”
"Hey, a few of you, what do you say, do you want to change it?" The thin middle-aged man was obviously a little unhappy.
Chi Chuan is also very unhappy, Lao Tzu is just going to come over to take a bath, you are pulling a hair?
He pretended to reach behind him with his right hand and took out a handful, and then chirped, eating with a mouth full of oil, and the corners of his mouth raised, "What to change, change a few broken fish, don't change!"
"You, you, you......"
Not to mention that the thin middle-aged man was stunned for an instant, the shirtless young man who was paddling behind him stood up on the ground, pounced on the bow of the boat, and almost didn't push him off the lake.
The two eyes were bigger than the copper bell, and the saliva in the big mouth was dripping, and he shouted in a sharp voice: "Uncle Wang, he is eating chicken legs!"
Ikekawa smiled.
Yes, five-spice braised chicken thighs, fresh this morning, taste good.
What's wrong?
Do you have an opinion?
