The fire in the kang stove was lit, and the earthen kang soon became warm and finally even hot, and the whole hut was also warmed.

But in the second half of the night, the temperature of the ondol that has been turned off without adding firewood will drop, and the temperature in the house will only get lower.

Takato has sleeping bags, so he has no problem sleeping alone, but now there are two people, and there is only one sleeping bag.

The easiest way is to spread out the sleeping bag, and cover Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu with a part of each, so that although neither of them can be very warm, they will not freeze.

The only problem is that you need to be close to each other to share a sleeping bag.

At this time, Gao Yuan found out that the smell on Luo Xingyu's body was really not good, he hadn't taken a bath for two months, and even if he changed into new clothes, the smell would still not be good.

But everything is secondary, and Gao Yuan, who was tired for a day, quickly fell asleep.

Hearing some faint but strange sounds, Gao Yuan, who had not been asleep for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up quickly, grabbed the knife placed next to the pillow with his left hand, and after holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, he remembered that he was no longer sleeping alone.

There was still a person lying beside him, and after realizing this, Gao Yuan first felt happy for no reason, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Luo Xingyu made a slight dream sound, but after Gao Yang's action made a slight sound, Luo Xingyu's voice disappeared, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.

Gao Yuan knew what was going on, he hadn't been able to sleep peacefully for the past two months, and Luo Xingyu's condition was even worse, so it was impossible for her to stay asleep now.

Extreme fear, nervousness, loneliness, and being in this state of mind for a long time, it would be strange if Luo Xingyu hadn't become particularly alert.

"Woke up?"

After a while, Luo Xingyu whispered, "Hmm." ”

"I'm just not used to having one more person around, I woke up scared just now, it's okay, let's continue to sleep."

Gao Yuan explained, because he was worried that Luo Xingyu would have some bad thoughts.

After all, it is a lonely man and a widow, and under the premise that only morality can restrain Gao Yuan, it is normal for Luo Xingyu to be afraid.

Luo Xingyu also sighed softly, then she sat up and said in a low voice: "I can't sleep, it may take a long time for me to fall asleep again." ”

Definitely, in this world, insomnia should have become a pain that most people need to face.

Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Me too, then let's talk." ”

"Hmm, can you shine a little light?"

"No, the battery is precious, and the pine seeds are smoky."

"Well, well, what to say......"

Luo Xingyu hesitated, and Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Don't talk about your family, anything else." ”

I didn't want to face the bloody wound in my heart, at least not yet, so Gao Yuan gave the scope of the topic in advance.

Luo Xingyu hesitated for a moment, and then she finally said, "Then tell me why you are here, I mean why you chose to live here?" ”

"Good question, of course, there is a reason for choosing this place, first of all, this village has been abandoned for at least 20 years, and the reason why this village will be abandoned is because the traffic here is too difficult, there is only one path to the outside world, and there are two positions on the way are steps dug in the mountain wall, the widest part is less than one meter, and our position is almost at the top of the mountain, the altitude is 986 meters, so not to mention the car, even the bicycle can't go, then the bicycle and the big bag are still carried by me twice, It is better to alleviate poverty in this place than to relocate it as a whole, so the village was abandoned. ”

"Oh, is there only one way? I see there's a trail leading to the top of the mountain, but what about after you get over the top? ”

"Over the top of the mountain and then down is a farmland, the farmland is also abandoned, it is overgrown with trees and it is not easy to walk, through the farmland, along the top of the mountain beam, basically there is no road, and it is winding and winding to walk 18 kilometers to go down the mountain."

"There's only one way, it's safer, right?"

"That's right, we are in the middle of the Taihang Mountain, the most typical geological feature here is the continuous cliffs, there is no road to go up and down the mountain is particularly dangerous, our location is good in addition to the small road, no one will come from other places, and this is far away from the road, others accidentally find a lot less opportunities here."

Luo Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then where is the villa I lived in before?" ”

It was pitch black, Gao Yuan couldn't give directions, he could only say: "The road into the village is east-west, and the place where I found you is in the north, I was chasing the wild boar, there is no road at all, and it is not easy to judge the distance, we walked about ten kilometers when we came back, but ......"

Gao Yuan was silent, and then he frowned and said, "This also means that you can come from the villa." ”

"There shouldn't be any zombies coming, right?"

Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Probably not, why did the zombies go so far through the mountains and through the forest, I am not familiar with the area where you live, you tell me about the nearby terrain." ”

"Well, guarding a new highway, just opened the highway, the village is near the highway, I found that there is a village and I don't dare to go forward, and then I saw a cement road that has just been built, I want to bypass the village, so I go along the small cement road, about two or three kilometers, it is the unfinished villa, I later went to the farmland near the village, but it is not too close to the village, so I don't know what is in the village."

In recent years, Shenzhou has developed too fast, and when Gao Yuan chose this abandoned village as a refuge, there was no road.

"Are there road signs? Do you know what the name of the village is? ”

Luo Xingyu hesitated and said: "I didn't pay attention, oh, I remember that there was a road sign that said that there were still 32 kilometers away from Jin Province, and I didn't notice that there were other road signs." ”

Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Well, this place is almost at the junction of Ji and Jin." ”

Luo Xingyu thought for a moment, and then she whispered, "How did you find out here?" ”

"The three of us ......"

said that he would not talk about his relatives, but Gao Yuan found that he couldn't talk about friends if he didn't say it.

When talking about friends, it is still heart-rending grief.

So Gao Yuan couldn't go on.

Luo Xingyu realized, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, let's say something else." ”

"No, you don't."

Taking a deep breath, Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "The three of us have known each other for a long time, and we both like the outdoors, so it's the three of us everywhere, and we never go with our fellow travelers, because the gameplay is different." ”

"So you met because you played outdoors?"

"Well, no, we...... They are all people from Shimen City, and they all work in Jicheng, I met the pipe first, because we both play handicrafts, and the pipe was introduced after we got to know it...... Ham was given to me, because ham and I have a common hobby is the outdoors, and then playing together and playing with me influenced them, they are also the kind of people who have a strong sense of crisis, they are like-minded and decide to survive together if there is a real crisis, so our relationship has always been very good. ”

"So you're starting to stock up on supplies."

"Yes, we go out together at least twice a year, and once we were introduced here by another traveler and found that this place was too suitable for us, and then we decided to make this place the No. 1 Shelter, well, that time we hid the leftover biscuits and canned food here, and then we consciously came here, bringing more shelf-stable food when we came, and some equipment that has been eliminated but can still be used to hide here."

Sighing lightly, Takato continued, "For example, the radio, that's ...... Ham, he's a radio enthusiast, and he thinks he should put a radio here, so he carries it, but it's mostly food, well, that's it. ”

"Vault One, do you have any other shelters?"

"No, only One, there are no resources and time to prepare another shelter elsewhere, and there is no suitable place, but the main reason is that there is no money."

Luo Xingyu sighed, because her father was the richest man, but her father did not have such a refuge.

Without much thought, Luo Xingyu said, "Are the pipes and ham your nicknames?" ”

"No, that was the code name when we first agreed to call by radio, and it was supposed to be changed later, but it turned out to be used like this, and it hasn't been changed for so many years...... Don't talk about this! ”

Gao Yuan's heart ached, he thought he was fine, but he found that it didn't work, so he had to change the subject.

"Your ...... What are your plans? ”

Gao Yuan wanted to shift the topic to Luo Xingyu, but at the beginning, he immediately realized that he couldn't ask Luo Xingyu's family this question, so he immediately changed the topic.

Luo Xingyu was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I don't have any plans, I already feel that I am in heaven on earth when I have food and sleep warmly, I don't have any plans now, Brother Yuan, do you have any plans?" ”

The question was thrown back again, Gao Yuan thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I don't have any plans, I'm a survivalist, then I must be a pessimist, because optimists don't do boring things like stockpiling supplies to deal with disasters, they just think about beautiful things." ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile, but then he lamented: "So I didn't think that I could return to my previous life, and I didn't expect to be able to drive away the aliens, the most optimistic plan I could make was to hope that the zombies would starve to death, and then I would go to the nearby village to find any available supplies, and if I could, I would try to find any seeds that could be cultivated, and farming, so that I could live here for a long time and live comfortably." ”

Luo Xingyu said in a low voice: "Didn't you think about leaving here?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it, I always liked life in the mountains, and now I think that only the mountains can let me continue to live, so I didn't think about leaving, I didn't want to leave at all, well, do you want to leave?" ”

Luo Xingyu said without hesitation: "Leave?" Where to go, where can you go? ”

Gao Yuan was really speechless.

Luo Xingyu sighed and said in a low voice: "If I can, of course I want to find my father, if he is still alive...... Sorry shouldn't have said this. ”

Luo Xingyu is sensitive and kind, and after realizing that this topic is beyond the scope of the topic, she immediately chose to stop.

Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "It's okay, I just don't want to talk about my own business, if you still have relatives alive, I will be very envious of you and happy for you, really, so if you have the opportunity, you should go to find your relatives, and I will also help you if you need it." ”

Luo Xingyu stopped talking.

In the dark, Gao Yuan couldn't see Luo Xingyu's expression.

After a long time, Luo Xingyu said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, thank you." ”

"Well, you're welcome."

After a while, Luo Xingyu said in a low voice: "Now you are my relative, really." ”

Gao Yuan also said in a low voice: "It's the same, really." ”

After all, it still came to the topic of relatives, because this topic cannot be completely avoided no matter how much it is avoided.

Both of them fell silent, and after a long time, Gao Yuan finally said, "I'm sleepy, continue to sleep." ”

"Okay, sleep, good night."
