Chapter 8 Warmth
The jeep was speeding down the highway at the moment.
Ji Zhimo glanced at the signs flashing by the roadside, except for the speed limit sign, the remaining sign said that the high-speed service station was two kilometers ahead.
"There are still two kilometers to the service station. Ji Zhimo said.
Ji Hailong was studying the direction of the highway on the map with a map in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, and after hearing his daughter's words, he nodded and replied.
"Let's make something to eat when we get there. ”
Putting down the map and magnifying glass in his hand, he turned to Zhang Aiping in the back seat and said with a smile: "Aiping, wait a minute, you have to make some food, I'm already hungry." ”
Zhang Aiping also showed a smile at the corner of her mouth at this time, and happily agreed: "It's not serious, I don't need you to say that I will also cook a delicious meal to treat my family silently." ”
After that, I started to carefully select the ingredients I took from the supermarket yesterday, and it seems that I really plan to cook a big meal.
Ji Zhimo saw that the atmosphere in the car began to relax, and her whole body relaxed, and her nerves were not so tense.
It's been a long time since I've heard my mom and dad laugh.
How long?
It's been like a lifetime.
Ji Zhimo couldn't help but suggest to them: "Let's rest at the service station tonight, we may have to find a place to hide when we get off the highway like last night." ”
Regarding Ji Zhimo's proposal, Ji Hailong and Zhang Aiping have no opinion.
The two-kilometer journey is fast enough.
Ji Zhimo drove the car to the gas station first, intending to fill up the car's fuel tank first, so she casually picked up the baseball bat at her feet and got out of the car.
Looking around, there was no trace of zombies for the time being, but there was no one in the gas station, which made her have to be vigilant.
Ji Zhimo took out the fuel card from the car, swiped it on the fuel dispenser, skillfully opened the fuel tank of the jeep, and then put the fuel gun in, opened the valve of the gas gun, and then began to refuel the fuel tank of the jeep.
The fuel tank was full, and Ji Zhimo also took out the two empty oil drums in the trunk to continue to fill the oil.
While waiting, Ji Zhimo looked up at the blue sky without a single cloud overhead, closed his eyes and felt the comfort of the breeze blowing through his hair.
The warm sun shone on my body warmly, and I was even a little hot, and I hadn't seen the sky like this for a long time, feeling the breeze.
But this relaxation only lasted for a minute or two, and then it returned to the sharp and cold Ji Zhimo before.
After filling up the gas, Ji Zhimo drove the car to the gate of the service station and parked it, blocking the entire body of the car at the door of the service station.
"Mom and Dad, you wait before you get out of the car, I'll go take a look first. ”
After speaking, Ji Zhimo first got out of the car and walked towards the service station.
The inside of the service station is the same as the gas station, it is surprisingly quiet, but there is no mess here, all the containers, tables and chairs are neatly in place, and there are no blood stains and suspicious blood clots on the ground, indicating that this place is not invaded by zombies.
So the question is, what about the staff here?
Ji Zhimo turned around and didn't find anything, so he returned to the jeep, so that his parents could get off the bus with confidence, indicating that the service station was safe.
Zhang Aiping walked to the kitchen of the service station with a few bags of ingredients, and said as she walked, "Silently, you can have a good meal today, you must eat more later!"
After Ji Hailong got off the car, he walked back and forth several times in the restaurant at the service station, and he really didn't know what to do, so he went to the kitchen to help.
Ji Zhimo walked towards the rest area on the second floor with a baseball bat at this time.
There are many rooms on the second floor, and the doors of all rooms are well closed, and zombies won't open them, so Ji Zhimo is not very worried, but he still opens the doors one by one, and he is not relieved until he is sure that there is really no danger in the room.
Probably she can really have a good meal tonight and get a good night's sleep, she hasn't slept in bed for a long time, and she can even take a hot bath, Ji Zhimo thought so.
Ji Zhimo inspected the entire service station inside and out, up and down, before walking towards the restaurant.
She can't learn the skill of cooking, and she also received rewards after participating in the task, she chose canned food and bread, canned food, just hot and hot, bread, pick it up and gnaw it directly, so now that he smells the fragrance coming from the kitchen, Ji Zhimo unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Aiping's meal was ready.
It was really a big meal, a big table was set up, Zhang Aiping brought the last dish and put it on the table, and said with a smile to Ji Zhimo, who was sitting on the edge of the table, who was about to drool: "Don't look at it, eat it quickly!"
Ji Zhimo came to his senses at this time, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to pick up the vegetables, and devoured them.
"Eat slowly, be careful of choking. Zhang Aiping said distressedly.
Ji Zhimo swallowed a big mouthful of food before saying, "I'm used to it." ”
After the family finished eating, Zhang Aiping cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to clean them.
Ji Zhimo and Ji Hailong took out the map and studied it, Ji Hailong held his classic magnifying glass and looked at the map, and he heard Ji Zhimo's cold voice.
"We're almost halfway there, and we're halfway to the Midlands. ”
"What are we doing in such a hurry to go to the central region?" Ji Hailong didn't understand, "Let's go inside, and there should be no more zombies when we get inside." ”
Ji Zhimo shook his head and said resolutely: "No, we must go to Central Z City before tomorrow afternoon!"
At this time, Zhang Aiping, who came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, heard this sentence and hurriedly asked, "So in a hurry?"
"I've been there on a business trip before, and it's quite big. Ji Hailong put away the magnifying glass in his hand and moved to the side so that Zhang Aiping could sit down.
Ji Zhimo nodded and explained to Ji Hailong and Zhang Aiping: "Yes, let's go to Z City, the first safe zone in my memory, Zhongyu Safe Zone was established on the basis of this city, and that city began to limit the number of people on the fifth day, and the later you go, the less housing you can choose from." ”
Zhang Aiping was careful and grasped the gap in Ji Zhimo's words, "Silently, you tell me, did you go late before, so you didn't live in a good house." ”
Ji Hailong also hurriedly said, "Rest assured, your father and I have a suite in that city, but it has not been renovated yet, and I have all the keys with me, just in case of retirement." ”
For his parents, Ji Zhimo didn't want to hide it, "Yes, in the previous life, we arrived in Z City on the seventh day of the zombie virus outbreak, because there were more zombies on the road, and the convoy of fleeing crowds made it difficult for us to pass quickly, and there was no housing in Z City, so we could only live in tents." After a pause, "Dad, are you sure you brought the key?"
Ji Hailong was not happy to see Ji Zhimo's suspicious eyes, in order to prove himself, Ji Hailong took out a small bag of his own, which he carries every day, this bag can contain his car keys, bank cards, keys to the house at home, and the key to the house in Z City.
But Ji Hailong turned the bag upside down, and he didn't see the key.
Ji Hailong was embarrassed, did he really lose the key?
Ji Zhimo saw all of Ji Hailong's movements and expressions in his eyes, sighed lightly, and said, "Dad, don't think about it, you and Mom go and rest, it's almost nine o'clock, and you have to get up early tomorrow." ”
Ji Hailong nodded, walked up to the second floor with Zhang Aiping, found a room at random, and went in to rest.
Ji Zhimo also walked to the second floor and stayed in the opposite room from his parents' room.
Ji Zhimo took off all the clothes on his body and walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, let the hot water pour himself from head to tail, sighed comfortably, and finally took a hot shower.
After taking a bath, Ji Zhimo wiped his hair with a bath towel, wiped his hair, took out the map in his bag, spread it out on the table, and took out a red marker from his bag, and then scribbled and modified it on the map, crossed out some places, circled and added some new places, and marked all the places in her memory that she knew in her previous life, and when she got these done, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Ji Zhimo put the revised map into his backpack, stretched his waist and went to bed.
What will tomorrow bring?
We'll know tomorrow.
