242 Inquiries
"Sir, I'm sorry we can't go next door."
The middle-aged bearded man's face was a little anxious, and there were bursts of dense fine sweat on his forehead because of the pressure brought by Raymond, but his tone was still firm: "According to the original rules of the town, once Xiaodouzi is found by them, he will be burned at the stake, I can't take this risk." ”
Qu Qingqing turned his head to look at the child who was held in his arms by the beard, because of long-term malnutrition and the pain of being scratched by zombies, the little guy kept trembling even if he was held in his arms by the beard, but he was still holding an old scripture book in his arms.
Qu Qingqing slowly hugged the shorthair cat in her arms, sighed slightly, turned her head to Raymond and said, "Forget it, let them stay here, don't you have a question to ask them?" "It's not easy for humans to survive in Japan at the end of the last century, and the two of them can't help much, but since the other party is here, it can be regarded as fate.
Raymond glanced at Qu Qingqing, saw Qu Qingqing's insistent expression, although his face was a little gloomy and ugly, he finally nodded and agreed with Qu Qingqing's words.
"You two can find a room to clean up, and I'll have something to ask you later."
Raymond's eyes moved, he raised his chin, and said in a cold voice, and the whole person raised his legs and turned around and walked forward a few steps to make a fire to eat.
The night in the dark plane is extremely cold, and the temperature is quite low, although it is not as cold as a few degrees below zero, but it is not far behind, fortunately, Qu Qingqing and Raymond have both practiced physical arts, and their abilities are good. The two of them weren't afraid of the cold, but now that they're already in this plane. They had to pretend and start a fire.
Middle-aged bearded. After tidying up the room casually, he let Xiaodouzi rest obediently on the bed in the room. He returned to the center of the courtyard with a sweaty face.
Raymond's aura was too big, and the middle-aged bearded man dragged the bench and subconsciously sat next to Qu Qingqing, who watched Raymond's eyes were dry for a while, and his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, and there was nothing he could do.
"Which city were you survivors from before? And said that he was originally a survivor of this town? Raymond quietly glanced at the middle-aged man, raised his hand and took out some food and lighters from the backpack behind him.
So he lit the fire in front of him, and couldn't take out other tools from the space bag in front of the other party, so Raymond picked up a few thicker wooden sticks from the ground. Turning into a knife, sometimes flashes of phantoms, and the wooden stick that was originally the thickness of the bowl mouth immediately becomes a long stick the thickness of chopsticks to pierce the meat.
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank, and his expression couldn't help but be a little fanatical.
He originally thought that the man in front of him was just a special ability, but he didn't expect that this guy was still an ancient martial arts cultivator!
Secretly licked the corners of his lips, and took his gaze away from the other party's hand with difficulty, even if he was fanatical in his heart, in fact, he knew that the man on the other side of the Dao would not tell him the method of cultivation.
The middle-aged bearded man wears a simple dark jacket, and the man looks like he is in his forties, which is the most attractive time. It's just that now it's all dirty all over his body, and I don't know where he got a lot of scratches when he escaped, the dark jacket on his body is a little worn and scratched, and the right armpit has a long opening. So it looks a little bit awkward.
As for his appearance and dress, the middle-aged bearded man doesn't care about these things.
Now that he had taken his eyes off Raymond's hand, he was once again drawn to the large box of raw meat at Raymond's feet. And secretly swallowed.
It had been five or six months since the end came, and he hadn't seen fresh meat for a long time. Especially this kind of ordinary beast meat is even rarer, and it is not a simple matter to find a few pieces.
"I'm from Lingshui City. I've been here for a few weeks, and I thought I'd go to the Lingyun base in a few days, but what I didn't expect was that I encountered a third-level corpse tide here. The bearded man frowned, but his gaze involuntarily rested on Raymond's hand and swallowed his saliva secretly.
Without the ability to be in the body, even if his personal strength is not bad, he does not dare to enter the deep mountains and old forests alone to find food, but on the other side of the grain base production area, he is even more afraid to go inside, there are not only a large number of zombies, but also a lot of mutant beasts.
These ordinary people who have no special abilities go up in groups to find some things on the periphery of the production area, most of them are ordinary carrots and sweet potatoes and the like, and they can still eat enough at first, but now that the end is coming, what food is not enough for them to eat for such a long time.
So keep going to the production area, and then the population of the town is also decreasing, if it weren't for the fact that there are often outsiders coming, I'm afraid that this town will be empty for a long time.
"Lingshui City? Isn't that more than 2,000 kilometers away? Why don't you go to the Flying Tiger Base? Qu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
According to the map given by the system, the Flying Tiger Base is much closer than the Lingyun Base.
"My family is in the Lingyun base, but I don't have any gasoline in my hands now, so I have to stay in the town, ready to scrape together enough gasoline to go to the Lingyun base, who knows that Lu Dao has not collected enough gasoline, and this happened."
The middle-aged bearded man looked a little annoyed, "I knew that I should have gone to the Lingyun base with the rest of the team before, and this would not have happened." ”
Going on the road with another team, he needs to join this team, and he doesn't like to be restricted, so he doesn't agree.
"It's a shame indeed." Qu Qingqing pursed the corners of her lips and shrugged helplessly, expressing regret.
"Yes......" the man's expression was a little emotional.
In these years, some things have been missed before I know that I regret it.
The topic returned to its original position, Qu Qingqing glanced up at the other party, and asked casually: "During your time in the town, have you noticed anything unusual around the town?" …… For example, is there any place where zombies are particularly powerful? Or are there a lot of mutants? ”
"Little girl, why are you asking this?" The bearded man's face was a little puzzled, but his face was more worried, "Could it be that you still want to kill these zombies single-handedly?" It's just too dangerous. ”
"How so?" Qu Qingqing blinked with a smile, "My companion and I just want to avoid these places and reach the Lingyun base safely. ”
"That's it......" The middle-aged bearded man nodded with a look of sudden realization, "You're right, you must ask the road ahead before you go, otherwise you won't be too late to cry if you run into this, little girl, you are so prescient!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that the evil aura on the man next to him was too strong, the bearded man wanted to directly step forward and raise his hand to pat Qu Qingqing's shoulder to express his satisfaction.
"You haven't told us where the zombies are particularly powerful."
"Amazing?" The middle-aged bearded man smashed the corners of his mouth, and secretly recalled the surrounding environment in his mind, "If you have to say that it is particularly powerful, I remember hearing the village chief say some time ago that before the end came, a meteorite had fallen in the mountains and forests about fifty or sixty kilometers northwest of the town...... And then every time someone looks for food in that direction, they just disappear and never come back, and over time no one goes there to collect food...... So we peck at it, there should be a powerful zombie or mutant beast there. ”
Qu Qingqing frowned, and in his mind, he secretly thought for a while, thinking about how to get rid of the other party.
Hearing that the two were chatting quite happily, Raymond's face was a little unhappy, and the speed of sharpening the wooden sticks in his hand was even faster, but in less than a few minutes, he had sharpened a large handful of long sticks.
"Take it, wear the meat!"
Qu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, feeling that the other party's tone was a little weird, she hurriedly raised her head and took a long sign handed by Raymond, wiped her hands with a towel at will, and honestly broke the storage box, and a large box of beef that had been washed and cut and put on the seasoning was placed in the storage box, these beef were exchanged by Qu Qingqing from the earth before, she licked the corners of her lips, and her ten fingers quickly moved.
The meat skewers with nearly forty or fifty miles were roasted back and forth by Qu Qingqing in his hand, and the meat in his hand was emanating without listening, making the bearded man swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva fiercely, and a pair of eyes stared at the barbecue on the fire rack, and a pair of eyeballs were almost like sticking to the barbecue.
"Take it and get it yourself."
Seeing that the other party was staring at Qu Qingqing tightly, Raymond squinted slightly, and the speed of the meat in his hand increased a few points again, and when he saw that he had dressed the last string, he directly threw the remaining half of the box to the other party.
The middle-aged man was immediately overjoyed, and raised his hand to receive the half box of meat in his hand steadily.
His eyes immediately shifted from the barbecue in Qu Qingqing's hand to his feet, he took out a short dagger from his waist casually, picked up a few wooden sticks on the ground for burning firewood, and sharpened them, his skills were not as good as Raymond's, and he didn't mind, he cut the wooden skewers into the thickness of a finger more than a meter long, but the bearded man was also quite satisfied with this.
What else can he be picky about when he eats? Is this simply earned?
Looking carefully at the flames from the dry wood, Qu Qingqing felt that layers of fine sweat were faintly growing on his head, this guy was too difficult to bake, right? It's completely different from when I used to eat barbecue.
She didn't think how she could set it on fire, why did the meat skewers in her hands turn black?
Looking at the fragrant barbecue in Raymond's hand next to him, Qu Qingqing felt that he was simply embarrassed and thrown home, how could this guy do anything?! (To be continued......)
