Chapter 707: The Flying Cat
Early the next morning.
The wind at the top of the mountain was still very strong, and it was dry, with the smell of loess, mixed with dust and sand, and scraping people's faces like knives. There was a humidification system inside the ship, but as soon as you got outside, you could feel uncomfortable.
Rows of buckets of instant noodles with plastic forks were neatly placed on the ramp of the spaceship, a whole row, with various flavors, and the air was full of different fragrances.
Cheng Yun took the lead in picking out a bucket of Laotan pickled peppers, pulled out a plastic fork, tore open the paper bag and ate it.
Seeing this, Yin Nuxia and Tang Qingying followed suit.
Cheng Yan is also responsible for feeding Little Lori, and while she despises Cheng Yun for throwing these jobs to her, she secretly enjoys in her heart.
So the long-silent mountain top sounded a snoring sound, one after another.
Cheng Yan very intimately inserted a pickled pepper with a fork, the green was very full, and it was full of spicy flavor at a glance, and fed it to the little Lori, while looking into the distance, and said: "This place is so quiet!"
"yes, it's just the wind. β
"You say, what's the use of them laying down such a desolate world?" Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Yun.
"They're not like us. β
"It's amazing...... Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes again.
"What, you want to catch one for dissection?" Cheng Yun looked at her vigilantly.
"Forget it. Cheng Yan shook his head after thinking about it, "I don't have that kind of professionalism, and besides, they are also intelligent creatures after all. β
"Hmm......"
Cheng Yun began to drink soup with instant noodles.
In the morning, the top of the mountain is a little cold, and it is very comfortable to eat a bowl of hot instant noodles, but the taste is a bit strong, and if you eat the mushroom and chicken soup, it may be better. But the mushroom chicken soup flavor was picked up by Tang Qingying, and Xiao Lori also cast a disdainful look at her, it seems that Xiao Lori, an Internet celebrity, has been infected with the bad habits of a handful of people on the Internet - if you eat spicy, you despise those who can't eat spicy.
Putting down the instant noodle bucket, Cheng Yun made another cup of protein powder for everyone, and the dose was not large.
The food they brought on this trip was mainly the food they carried, and Xiao Lori brought a lot of snacks. Fresh food is rarely brought, mostly vegetables, and stored in the ship's cold storage, but it doesn't last long.
Cheng Yun couldn't help but fall into thought.
Instant noodles are a good food on long trips, and they are much better than compressed biscuits. In fact, as long as you identify a few big brands, you don't have to worry about its hygiene, as for how long does it take for a pack of instant noodles toxins to be discharged, it is even more a rumor. The disadvantage of instant noodles is that they are nutritionally unbalanced. If you're hungry and tired, a bucket of instant noodles can quickly restore your strength because it's high in calories and sodium. However, its protein and vitamin content is very low, so it should not be eaten for a long time. Unless eaten with vegetables and high-protein foods.
After drinking a cup of original protein, it didn't taste very good, like very light cheap milk, Cheng Yun put down the cup and got up.
Pick up the card and steer the ship to open the two side pods.
In one of the side compartments is a flying car about the size of a sports car, which is very cool, like a small fighter jet, but the downside is that it can only seat two people. The other side compartment houses his MPV.
I tried the flying car, but the reactor still couldn't work, and this one couldn't even fly.
On the contrary, the MPV can be used normally.
drove the MPV out and parked at the top of the mountain, Cheng Yun couldn't find a way to drive down for a while.
"I knew I would have brought a set of drones. β
"You just know!" Cheng Yan heard him mutter, "If you can take pictures with a drone, how beautiful the scenery of this place is!"
ββ¦β¦ Hindsight!"
ββ¦β¦ I'll go to the top of the ship and have a look. Cheng Yan said and turned around and walked back into the spaceship.
Cheng Yun glanced at it, Yin Nuxia was still eating noodles there, and she had eaten the fifth bucket so far, and she ate 'one and a half buckets'. She seems to love this stuff, but unfortunately Cheng Yun rarely feeds them this kind of food in the middle of the hotel.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yan came out.
She casually pointed in the direction: "There's a slope over there, it's very gentle, and it looks quite flat, it should be able to drive down." It doesn't matter if you encounter a pit, there is Sister Yin Dan. β
Cheng Yun nodded.
Cheng Yan asked again: "Which way are we going?"
Cheng Yun thought for a while and said: "Go in the direction of sunset, the human race will establish a large rear in the west, we will definitely meet the human being if we go that way, and if we meet the human being, we will be able to find General Li." But along the way, we can also look around and see where there are still lush places. Even if they've already set foot here, they can't tread every inch of land, right? I see these wastelands as uncomfortable as they look......"
Cheng Yan nodded: "Okay." β
"That's right!"
Cheng Yun suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Xiao Lori, pointed to the sky and said to it: "Aren't you able to fly, can you still fly now, if you can still fly, fly up and see where there are trees and grass." β
Little Lori nodded solemnly and immediately complied.
I saw that it was short, slightly bent its legs, but it raised its head to look at the sky, a pair of ice blue eyes reflected the bright light in the morning sun, and then jumped slightly-
Jump a foot high......
Let's go!
Steady landing!
Little Lori lowered her head and looked at the loess under her feet, as well as her four little white paws on the ground, a little suspicious that the cat was born.
Try again!
Use some force this time...... Jumped several meters high!
Cheng Yan once thought that the little Lori was flying, and even she opened her mouth slightly until the little Lori landed again...... The four little paws snorted and sank into the loess.
Little Lori suddenly became impatient.
Cheng Yun can probably understand its feelings, because he used to dream that he could fly, that is, he could fly by jumping into the sky like a superman, and this kind of dream often ended with 'he suddenly found that he couldn't fly no matter how he jumped', and he was in a hurry in the dream. Now little Lori is probably facing such a situation.
So Cheng Yun hurriedly picked it up and comforted it: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it will fly again in a few days......"
Little Lori looked at Cheng Yun, then at Cheng Yan, and finally stopped at Yin Nuxia, who was sitting on the bottom step of the gangway, holding a bucket of noodles and laughing like a tractor, it opened its mouth suddenly, revealing four sharp little teeth: "Ha!!"
β¦β¦
The inability to grasp the surrounding terrain and the lack of navigation caused a certain challenge to Boss Cheng.
Because you don't know if you're going to drive to a lake, or face a cliff, or if you're going to pass by an oasis or run headlong into an alien trap.
But anyway, it's time to go.
The ship doesn't know when it will be restored.
Cheng Yun took the card key and began to carry luggage and materials from the spaceship, and took them out one by one, and then put them in the MPV.
Fortunately, the space in this car is still good, and the third row is also used to load things.
It took a long time to put it on.
Cheng Yun put away the gangway of the spaceship and closed the door, thinking that with the force of this world, even if a whole army came, it would be impossible to destroy the armor of the spaceship in a short time, so he began to greet everyone: "Are you ready?"
The two little girls were a little excited and ran over.
Cheng Yan sat in the co-pilot, held the camera in his arms, took out a box of cream from his bag and handed it to Cheng Yun: "Oh, take it and wipe it!"
"What?"
"Moisturizing moisturizer, it's too dry over here. β
"Don't need it......"
"Hurry up!"
"Forehead ......"
Cheng Yun took the moisturizer, unscrewed the lid, hooked a small lump with his fingers, rubbed his hands evenly, and then applied it to his face as if he were washing his face.
Cheng Yan watched with a dark face next to him.
Tang Qingying said with a smile behind him: "Brother-in-law, are you wiping your hands or face, I'll wipe it for you next time!"
Cheng Yun's face was calm: "I'll wipe it evenly!"
Tang Qingying shook her delicate little hand: "It will be more comfortable for others to wipe you!"
Cheng Yun was silent.
As soon as he put down his hand and sniffed, the taste was relatively fresh, not heavy, and made him feel quite comfortable. But then another thing landed on his lap.
Cheng Yan said lightly beside him: "Then wipe it." β
"And?"
"Sunscreen to prevent the skin on your face from becoming dark and chapped due to wind and sun. β
"Wipe it quickly, stationmaster, I wiped it all in the morning. Yin Nuxia said.
"Huh?" little Lori looked stunned.
ββ¦β¦β
Cheng Yun was a little speechless, but still did it.
While he was wiping sunscreen, Cheng Yan couldn't help but look back at the stuff behind him.
There is a lot of luggage for everyone, and the remaining space has to hold a lot of food and water, after all, the average meal of four people and one beast is very large. The car is no different from a spaceship, and it cannot independently absorb water from the air and process it into drinking water.
Cheng Yan couldn't help but be a little worried: "Is there enough food to bring?"
Cheng Yun pursed his lips and returned the sunscreen to her: "So you all put your eyes bright and see if you can find the oasis, otherwise we may be forced to return." β
Yin Nuxia immediately raised her hand and said: "Stationmaster, I can only eat, but if the food is tight, I can also eat very little, in the past, we could eat steamed buns for three days!"
Little Lori hesitated, and hurriedly said, "Woo!"
Cheng Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "If you can find food, try not to let you go hungry, by the way, Sister Yin Dan, you have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, you should know a lot of wild vegetables, right? We don't know wild vegetables! Otherwise, if you find an oasis, you don't know what you can eat and what you can't eat......
Yin Nuxia said dumbfoundedly: "I think everything in the long field can be eaten, but some of them will have a dizzy brain, and some will have a stomachache after eating......"
Little Lori is even more powerful: "Woo woo!"
"Is it so tough?"
"But generally no one eats indiscriminately, unless they are hungry, but they are all hungry, who cares about this!"
"What if you run into a highly poisonous eater?"
"Every day people die strangely, it's too normal! Who knows how they died, and no one asked, even those people themselves don't know how they died, and they don't even want to care how they die, so they don't have to be killed by starvation!" Yin Nuxia said very easily, "I heard that there is a kind of mushroom that will die if you eat it, but the dead people are all smiling, and it doesn't hurt, and some people are very hungry and go to find this kind of mushroom to eat." I've seen one, and he ate it and said it was delicious, so I asked me to eat it too, but fortunately I didn't listen to him. β
"......" Cheng Yan felt that he couldn't count on Yin Nuxia.
"Woo!" As the king of the snow who can not only eat strong poison as a meal, but also draw nutrients from it, little Lori said that she was very relaxed about this.
"Buzz!"
Cheng Yun has already started the car.
The barren mountains are very flat, there are few ravines, and there is no gravel or anything like that, like a grassland without grass, so it is very convenient to drive. It's just that the soil is too soft, the wheels are sunk deep, and it is very difficult to drive.
Following the direction pointed by Cheng Yan, Cheng Yun went down the mountain, and then drove the car to shuttle between the mountains.
All the way to the west.
It's not fast, but it's not too hard to travel hundreds of kilometers a day.
After driving for a few hours, Cheng Yan felt that Cheng Yun was too tired, and offered to switch with him. Cheng Yun thought that the terrain around here was bare, it was impossible to hit trees, stones, and mountains, and there were no cliffs and pits, so he didn't object.
It turned out that Cheng Yan really learned very well, and he was able to drive away steadily after only a few adaptations, and his driving skills were much better than Cheng Yun imagined.
"The automatic transmission is so easy to drive! No wonder the coaches call those who learn automatic transmission 'driving a chartered car'. β
"Not really!"
"Yanyan~~ Let's take a rest ahead. Tang Qingying suddenly shouted without confidence.
"What's the matter, want to go to the toilet?" asked Cheng Yun.
βenmmβ¦β¦β
"Yes. Cheng Yan knew that in addition to being in the hotel, she was also a little goddess who was very particular about her image at school, and she was very famous in the entire Academy of Fine Arts, of course, she still had to be cheeky, especially in front of Cheng Yun. So Cheng Yan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said casually, "I just drank too much water after eating instant noodles, and I want to go to the toilet too." β
"Yanyan, I love you!" Tang Qingying immediately felt a lot more relaxed when she heard her say this, and she was not so shy.
In fact, she has been holding back for a while, after all, girls are not as good as boys, and boys at least have a faucet! But everyone didn't bring it up, and she was a little embarrassed - obviously this place was to be solved in the wilderness, how embarrassing it was for a little goddess like her! But having a team would relieve too much psychological pressure.
Because the surrounding terrain is empty, although they are all mountains, they are all gentle slopes, and there is no shelter, which makes Cheng Yan frown: "Let's hold back a little longer and find a sheltered place." β
βenmmβ¦β¦β
Gradually, Cheng Yan felt that the downhill was dominant, and it seemed that the altitude was gradually decreasing.
Suddenly, around a hillside, Yin Nuxia, who was lying at the window to breathe the wind, was the first to shout: "There is a house!"
Little Lori opened her mouth, and closed silently when she heard the words.
It was a dilapidated village, with only a few houses, faintly visible earthen walls and tiled roofs, and it was halfway up a mountain. There are a few trees planted between the houses, and I think that they used to be very tall and luxuriant, and at dusk there will be old people and children under the trees to enjoy the shade, but at this time the trees have withered to the point that only the branches remain, just like the houses whose earthen walls have collapsed for the most part, and in a trance people can't help but think about how much wind and rain they have experienced when no one lives here anymore.
Cheng Yan turned the steering wheel and drove over.
With a squeak, the car stopped at the entrance of the 'village'.
Tang Qingying stiffened her face and quickly opened the car door, but after getting out of the car, she stood still, trying her best to pretend that she was not in a hurry.
Cheng Yan looked funny next to her, she didn't bother to tease her at this time, opened the small bag and looked inside, the toilet paper was brought, and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to hide." β
Tang Qingying was like being amnestied, but he still said reservedly: "Okay!"
Cheng Yun got off the station at the door of the car and said, "Woman, you go with them, I'm afraid that there will be danger, and you can also solve your personal problems." β
Lady Yin picked up the purple sword and agreed very simply: "Okay!"
Cheng Yun looked at Little Lori again.
Little Lori looked at him with a pair of big eyes.
Shaking his head, Cheng Yun picked up a gun and began to walk in the opposite direction of Cheng Yan and them, looking at the settlements of these families.
Little Lori followed him inch by inch.
It has obviously been abandoned for a long time, not a single leaf has fallen on the ground, and there are no weeds and dead grass. There were still some dirty pots and pans and rotten hats, baskets and other woven goods in several houses, and the broken tiled roofs sprinkled with small pillars of light, hitting the ground, and dust flew in the pillars of light. On one of the walls, he also saw a spear strung with a yellowed broken skull and pierced into the earthen wall, the spear seemed to be made of some kind of substance similar to the bone layer, Cheng Yun stepped forward and touched it, it was no longer so hard.
And just below the spear, a rotten white skeleton was sprinkled with a few rudimentary strips of cloth, apparently the corpse was nailed to the wall, and then fell after rotting.
Although it was broad daylight, it was inevitable that a little chill would hit.
It's so desolate, and it's been deserted for so long, that it's less like a war-swept ruin and more like a horror movie scene.
But little Lori is still innocent and innocent, and she stepped forward and touched a few thigh bones with her little paws, as if she was curious.
These are not edible, it knows.
The king forbade it to eat bones.
