On the narrow highway, three off-road vehicles and a pickup truck drove in a row at a constant speed.

The afternoon sun filtered in through the car window, slightly harsh.

Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke leisurely while controlling the steering wheel with one hand.

Tong Xia sat in the co-pilot's seat, occasionally turning his head sideways to look at him, his eyes full of love.

Jiang Lian sat next to the car door on the right, Li Qiluo next to her, and Xiao Nezha on the left.

Shen Jingyuan sat behind Chen Yuan, and from time to time she would reach over to help him pinch his shoulders.

They had been driving along the highway for nearly an hour, and Chen Yuan looked at the rearview mirror and asked them, "Are you hungry?"

Shen Jingyuan immediately responded: "I'm not hungry." ”

Chen Yuan pouted and glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and then looked at Tong Xia next to him, "Really not hungry?"

Tong Xia shook his head with a smile, "Well, I'm not hungry." ”

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, "Are you losing weight a little crazy?"

Shen Jingyuan stretched out her hand and pressed it on Chen Yuan's shoulder, "How can there be, you can drive well, we are really not hungry, and there is still a little food here, don't worry." ”

Li Qiluo also said: "We have a full breakfast today, and it's no problem to eat late at noon." ”

Chen Yuan looked at the time in the car, "It's almost half past two now, and it's already past lunch." He glanced at Xiao Nezha, although he had not lost control during this time, Chen Yuan was still worried that he would have that urge because of hunger like himself.

Thinking of this, he continued: "You don't have to worry about it, just eat something simply, the service area on the highway should be quite safe, I will discuss it with Uncle De and them first." ”

"Oh well. ”

Shen Jingyuan responded softly and continued to help him squeeze his shoulders.

Li Qiluo accompanied Xiao Nezha to play with the rope, and Jiang Lian leaned quietly against the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tong Xia leaned on the backrest and looked at Chen Yuan gently, with a faint smile always hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Chen Yuan threw the cigarette butt out of the window, and then took out the walkie-talkie.

This is what was found from Uncle Jin's gang, there are four of them.

Chen Yuan took one for himself, and the other three were given to Liang Zaide, Dragon Boat Festival and Yao Zhijie.

Although Uncle Jin's gang still left two cars behind, Chen Yuan still felt that there was no need to drive so many cars after thinking about it. First, it wastes gasoline, and secondly, the increase in the number of drivers will also consume everyone's energy excessively. So in the end, they only drove the original four cars.

Chen Yuan said into the walkie-talkie, "Uncle De, Brother Wu, Ajie." He paused for a moment, and then said, "It's almost half past two, and we haven't eaten much at noon, so we must be a little hungry." So I think when I pass by the next service area, let's go in and have a bite to eat. ”

After a few seconds, their echo was quickly heard over the intercom.

"Okay. ”

“ok。 ”

"Roger. ”

Chen Yuan looked up at the roadside sign in front of him, "Then go to the Yaoshui service area in front, there are still more than thirty kilometers." ”

"Yes. ”

"Roger. ”

"Roger. ”

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Chen Yuan gently patted Shen Jingyuan's hand, "Okay, you don't have to help me pinch it all the time, I'm not tired." You guys have a good rest, and in twenty minutes we'll be almost there. ”

"Good. ”

The four cars continued along the highway.

Chen Yuan had been carefully observing the surrounding situation, and since crossing the provincial highway and getting on this highway, they hadn't seen much zombies. At present, the condition of this highway is also very good. So they always keep their speed above 80 kilometers per hour.

Soon, the Yaoshui service area was only two kilometers away from them.

Chen Yuan took out the walkie-talkie and motioned for everyone to slow down slowly, save gasoline, and then pay attention to the surrounding situation.

After a while, the four cars slowly drove into the ramp on the right in a row, and then arrived at the Yaoshui service area.

None of the four cars stopped immediately, and they were very experienced in making a circle around the service area.

"I didn't see any zombies for the time being. ”

"I didn't find it on my side either. ”

"I don't see anything here, this service area is so empty. ”

Chen Yuan kept looking around at the situation, and indeed he didn't see any zombies.

There were only two cars parked in the entire service area, and only four of them remained.

Chen Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie while turning the steering wheel and said, "It should be safe here, let's park all the cars at the door of that small supermarket, remember to bring weapons and get out of the car, and then let the women stay in the car first." ”

“ok。 ”

"Understood. ”

"Got it. ”

Four cars quickly lined up and parked in front of the small supermarket.

Chen Yuan took out an iron rod from under his feet, turned back to Shen Jingyuan and said, "Don't get out of the car in a hurry." ”

"Mmmm, be careful. ”

"Yes. ”

With a simple response, Chen Yuan opened the car door and got out of the car.

He took a deep breath and twisted his body, and although the gunshot wound he received in the morning was bandaged, he could still feel the obvious pain.

Damn it......

He cursed inwardly, then turned his head to look at the three cars next to him.

Liang Zaide and the Dragon Boat Festival all came down.

Everyone glanced at each other, and then pushed the door and walked into the small supermarket with a tacit understanding.

Miller and Yang Wanli are responsible for staying outside to prevent accidents.

Entering the small supermarket, Chen Yuan quickly took a look, this place was even smaller than they imagined. There was only one staff member behind the cash register, and the body was badly decomposed, and there was a strong stench around it. Chen Yuan raised his hand to cover his nose, it seemed that this person should have been dead for a long time.

"No problem, let's just start moving things, everything we can eat and use will be carried to the car. We'll eat in the car later. ”

"Okay. ”

The crowd answered, and began to act.

Chen Yuan then said, "Ah Zhi, you come with me to the toilet to check it." ”

"It's coming. ”

The two men quickly ran into the toilet with iron rods, and both men and women checked them and there were no problems at all.

"Okay, tell the women to get out of the car and go to the bathroom. ”

"Hmm. ”

……

After this lunch, it was already half past three.

Chen Yuqing and Wen Han were in charge of sorting out the leftover food.

They did a rough calculation, and for more than twenty of them, the food was enough for them to eat for a few days.

Chen Yuan stood next to them, looked at the food and thought about it, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If this kind of life continues, sooner or later, the food that remains in the cities will be exhausted, and perhaps before then, a lot of food will expire. As a result, they will inevitably face food shortages.

What should I do?

Chen Yuan touched his chin and blinked in confusion.

"What do you think, the expression is so ugly. ”

Chen Yuqing's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Chen Yuan glanced at her, but still said his thoughts truthfully.

Chen Yuqing also showed a trace of sadness after hearing this.

Wen Han sighed lightly and asked, "Don't you plan to continue looking for rescue?"

Chen Yuan shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless smile, "It's been four months since the zombies appeared, do you think there will be rescue?

He shook his head.

"But I didn't give up completely, but I don't know when it will be our turn to rescue this kind of thing. So before that, we have to be prepared to survive alone for a long time. ”

"Well, I see. ”

Wen Han nodded.

Chen Yuqing thought about it carefully and said: "Different foods have different shelf lives, if we count from the appearance of zombies, within a year, we should still be able to live on the food we searched." And even if some foods are expired, you can still eat a little less under special circumstances. The only problem is that if this time is more than a year, or even two or three years, or more, then we will have to have the ability to produce our own food in order to survive......"
