Early in the morning, Li Fan got up early and went to the breakfast stall outside to eat a few meat dumplings, the children were half curious and half timidly looking at Li Fan who was "dressed in strange clothes", and the idlers and lazy people were pointing in the distance.

The last time I came here, Li Fan had been running non-stop, and he went back before he had a good look at the scenery of the Republic of China, and at this moment he was a little leisurely looking at the surrounding scenes.

Old-fashioned black mailboxes stand on the side of the street, and after the feng shui sun and the destruction of the urchins, the paint has peeled off in many places, revealing the metal underneath. There is also a high street lamp erected at the fork in the road, which is different from the high-power light bulbs of later generations, and here is still the "gas dead wind lamp" that is picked up with a bamboo pole

There are also young men in black uniforms and leggings, with short sticks tied around their waists, walking back and forth, and the men in short beats seem to have finished unloading, showing their naked tops, sitting on street stalls and sucking thick porridge.

From time to time, he said some "meat jokes", which led to the rude laughter of the companions around him, and the few big girls and little daughters-in-law who passed by were blushing and spitting at these guys with baskets on their shoulders.

The air carries the smell of animal feces and the characteristic sweetness of the fresh morning air. All this is so vivid, but Li Fan thought that this vibrant world would be destroyed after more than two hundred years, he felt that his heart was like a big stone blocked, inexplicably a little heavy, and once again lost the nature of looking at the scenery, sighed and returned to the Ren family's mansion.

In the side courtyard, Lin Zhengying had already packed his luggage and waited for Li Fan to prepare to leave, while Ren Zhuzhu kept stuffing things into Li Fan's package, including silver dollars, peach cakes, walnut cakes, and apples and other seasonal fruits.

Even Li Fan saw flower water and refreshing powder, chocolates brought back from the United States, etc.

Li Fan couldn't help but laugh and stepped forward and closed the lid of the luggage

"Zhuzhu, it's okay, it's just a trip, Uncle Ying and I are not ordinary people, and we have Taoist protection, don't worry too much."

Ren Zhuzhu shook her head, her ruddy little mouth was tightly pursed, she looked at him stubbornly, and finally couldn't help crying.

"I heard it all yesterday, a lot of people are going, it must be dangerous, right? I saw Uncle Ying writing a suicide note! Don't go, okay? ”

Before Li Fan could speak, Lin Zhengying walked in from outside the door and said solemnly

"Zhuzhu, what are you talking about! If it's dead, it's dead! This is our life, and since we have learned the Tao, we must take responsibility! If something happens because there is danger, you don't go up, I don't go up, then who does?

In this world, some people still need to stand up! That's what my generation of monks should do! ”

Ren Zhuzhu was stunned by Lin Zhengying's training, pouted and didn't speak, and returned to the house again.

Li Fan stood for a while, thinking of the things he saw last time, by the time the world was destroyed, Ren Zhuzhu was already old and dead, but she didn't have to feel that kind of despair, and she was lucky

Carrying his luggage, he took one last look at the Ren family's mansion, and opened the window to look at Ren Zhuzhu who secretly looked at him, and turned to leave.

According to Li Fan's estimate, Renjiazhen should be in the area of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and Lin Zhengying plans to take a boat to Shanghai first, and then take a train from Shanghai to Tangshan, which is the assembly point set by Daomen.

The boat is a small wooden boat with a large warehouse, a sail, and a rocking oar. After getting on the boat, Li Fan got into the cabin and communicated with Uncle Ying, who was more familiar with him.

All he wanted to do was look at the diary he had found in the cave.

The journal was opened, and the title page read

"I, Oswell E. Spencer, will dedicate my life to the evolution and immortality of mankind!"

When you open it, you will find Spencer's detailed diary.

Since he discovered a copy of the Natural History Survey, he was very curious about the fact that the Dubai tribe mentioned in it chose their leader through a mysterious plant.

It is said that only candidates who do not die after eating the sacred flower "Ladder of the Sun" on the altar can be successfully elected as the leader, which will mean that the leader is chosen by the gods.

Each of the leaders of the Dubai tribe is powerful and long-lived, possessing abilities beyond the ordinary.

Sadly, the Dubai tribe seems to have been destroyed by a civil strife, and the surviving natives moved out of the ruins and abandoned their traditions.

He had a premonition that this kind of thing would change the entire human race if it was invented, so he established the Umbrella Company, which means the umbrella of all mankind.

Coming to Africa, after painstaking searching, he finally found the ruins of ancient Dubai, and his research on the Sun Staircase found that this plant has a special ingredient that can make some changes to the body, but it has great side effects.

Limited to the level of science and technology, Si Bingsai studied for a long time without a clue, but he still did not give up, but turned to legends around the world, zombies in China, living corpses in Southeast Asia, etc.

Relying on the family's strong financial resources, he found another thing in the body of the living corpse, which was extremely similar to the composition of the solar ladder, and finally he came to China to try to experiment with zombies.

I didn't expect that zombies are completely different from living corpses, etc., and the lethality is simply the difference between AK47 and toy bows and arrows. In the end, he died at the base of Niushou Mountain.

Li Fan closed the notebook and let out a long breath, he knew why the umbrella appeared in China, but he had no clue why the year was wrong, so he could only put it aside first

The closer the boat gets to Shanghai, the more lively it is on the water.

On the morning of the third day, I saw a very familiar but rarely seen building now, a chimney with billowing smoke. Li Fan has seen a lot of chimneys, and when he was a child, the factories in his family seemed to have chimneys, but he hadn't seen them for many years since he grew up.

As one of the very few industrial and commercial centers in China at this time, Shanghai can be said to be concentrated with a considerable number of factories. The closer you get to Shanghai, the more chimneys there are for these factories.

Not only that, but the number of ships is also increasing. The bustling city of Shanghai is not only home to factories, but also to a large number of workers. As an important foreign city in China, business is also prosperous.

Of course, there are also negative effects, the closer you get to Shanghai, the worse the water quality. There was a foul smell wafting across the river. There is also a large amount of household garbage on the surface of the river, and it seems that people living on the water do not care about the impact of this garbage on their health.

The docks are crowded with people, and the voices of soliciting customers in various local accents come and go.

Workers living in shops, transporting goods, and wearing short clothes are all trying to get business for a day's rations.

Aside from the old-fashioned bulky cars and rickshaws, there is no essential difference from modern stations.

After getting off the boat, Lin Zhengying picked up his bags and smiled at Li Fan

"Afan, we're in a hurry, so we won't stop in Shanghai, let's go directly to the train. You must have seen a lot of this kind of scene in Shanghai. ”

"Okay" Li Fan also picked up the bag, although it is a pity that he can't visit this Chinese pearl known as the big Shanghai and Shanghai beach, but there are more important things at the moment.
