Chapter 131: Lunchtime
"Sister Jiujiu, let's take a rest, I'...... I just can't walk. ”
When passing by a subway station where there was no one, Wei Qingqing took a breath and hurried to catch up with Du Jiujiu, grabbed her sleeve, and said breathlessly.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Du Jiujiu had no choice but to stop and take out a watch from her bag and look at the time on it.
"It's noon, and everyone is tired, right? Why don't we rest here for a while, eat something and get back on our way? ”
"Ah, that's great, I'm almost exhausted." Hu Xiaoyun's physical fitness is not much better than Wei Qingqing's, and after walking for most of the day, his legs are like being filled with lead, and when he hears the words, he doesn't care about his image, he sits directly on the cement platform, and takes a bottle of mineral water out of his backpack and drinks it in a big gulp.
"Sister Jiujiu, how far do we have to go to get there?" Wei Qingqing sat down beside Hu Xiaoyun and asked Du Jiujiu with a bitter face. If she had to walk like this for a few more days, without waiting for the mutant creatures to do it, she would be exhausted to death.
Du Jiujiu couldn't cry or laugh when she saw her like this, she couldn't bear this hardship, so after going to the imperial capital with Luo Yucheng, how could she stand the hardships along the way.
Du Jiujiu sighed, but still raised the flashlight and shone it at the subway station outside the glass.
The white wall of the waiting room reflected the light of the flashlight, so that Du Jiujiu could vaguely see the words on the stop sign - Beishan Park Station.
"It turns out that this used to be a park, so there must be a lot of mutant plants outside, so it's no wonder I didn't see anyone living nearby." Du Jiujiu muttered to himself, it is very rare to see an uninhabited subway station like this along the way, which gives a very reasonable explanation here.
Du Jiujiu compared the route he had memorized in his mind, and continued, "It seems that we have already walked half the way, and at this speed, we can reach the exit on the other side of the tunnel tonight." However, the place that Brother Luo said is still some distance from the exit of the subway station, so it is best for us to rest overnight near the exit and then set off early the next morning to rescue Professor Sun. Brother Luo, what do you think of this? ”
"I'm not too familiar with this place, so I'll listen to you." Luo Yucheng smiled at Du Jiujiu, his breathing was very even, and it seemed that this journey did not burden him.
After deciding to rest here, Hu Xiaoyun lit a bonfire in the same place, and stayed with Wei Qingqing and An Cheng, resting while eating the food he brought with him to recover his strength.
Xiaobai has always liked to go out at night, and at this time he couldn't help but shrank into a ball and yawn a little sleepy.
Du Jiujiu, who was still in good spirits, was eating jerky while leaning over the glass to observe the situation in the subway station.
There is no trace of anyone in this subway station, and naturally there is no light. But with his super night vision, Du Jiujiu can take in the scene in the subway station under the reflection of the bonfire behind him.
The spacious waiting room was empty and lifeless, the chairs were coldly placed in front of the station, and even the clock on the wall stopped turning at some point, and everything seemed to be frozen before the end of the world.
"Jiujiu, what are you looking at?" Luo Yucheng saw that Du Jiujiu's behavior was a little strange, so he put down the dry food in his hand and walked to her side.
"I want to see if there's anything in there that can be used." Du Jiujiu replied, but his eyes did not leave the subway station. Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up,
"Found it!"
As the words fell, she shone the flashlight to a corner of the wall, and under the light of the flashlight, Luo Yucheng could clearly see that there was a row of vending machines there.
"Now we can add a meal!" There was excitement in Du Jiujiu's voice that couldn't be concealed, she raised her long knife, opened a big hole in the glass with a few clicks, and leaned over.
"I'll help you too." Luo Yucheng also bent down and followed closely behind Du Jiujiu and came to this abandoned subway station.
It's as cold in the subway station as it is in the tunnel, but fortunately, their bodies have evolved, and this cold is nothing to them.
Du Jiujiu nodded to Luo Yucheng who was following her, then turned around and walked to the vending machine in the corner of the wall in three steps, raised the long knife again and waved it over, and then the food and drinks in the cabinet rolled down to the ground with the vending machine that fell to the ground.
Luo Yucheng saw that she was not like a girl's rude behavior at all, but he just smiled gently, leaned down and picked up the food that fell on the ground.
He wanted to help her, but while his ability was also metal-controlling, his ability was clearly more violent than the silence of An Cheng's ability.
The metal atoms will gradually become unstable under the infusion of his energy, and they will burst open, and if he is allowed to open this vending machine, I am afraid that the food will also blow up along with it. In this way, he can only honestly follow behind Du Jiujiu and be a "porter".
When the two of them returned to the tunnel, the three girls began to look hot when they saw the various snacks in their arms.
"Jiujiu, it's really yours!" An Cheng got up and hammered Du Jiujiu's chest, reached out and took a handful of snacks in Du Jiujiu's arms and put them on the ground.
"Wow, there's Coke! That's great! Wei Qingqing quickly picked out a can of Coke, opened the pull ring, and took a big sip.
Although Wei Qingqing, who is a water system powerhouse, has never lacked water to drink, the happiness brought by carbonated drinks is irreplaceable.
"Let's eat more snacks here, just so we can save some dry food." Du Jiujiu also sat down and pushed a few packets of her favorite food in front of Hu Xiaoyun.
"You're such a clever ghost!" Hu Xiaoyun tapped her forehead with her finger, took a pack of biscuits with a smile, and ate it in small bites.
Du Jiujiu was right, the dried meat of these alien beasts they brought was not only small in size and durable for storage, but also had a powerful effect that could restore a small amount of ability. Although they won't be there for long, it's hard to say what will happen along the way, so it's better to save some food.
Luo Yucheng saw that several of them were eating, and he was no longer polite, so he tore open a bag of peanuts and poured it into his mouth.
Compared with Du Jiujiu and a few people, Luo Yucheng, who is a soldier, knows the value of food better, there are so many snacks right now, even if they can't eat them all, they can't take them all away, it is better to stuff them all into their stomachs and convert them into energy.
Du Jiujiu was eating biscuits on the side, and when he saw that Xiaobai was still asleep, he took out a pack of dried fish from the snack pile, tore open the package and put it in front of Xiaobai's nose.
"Meow~"
Xiaobai smelled the fragrance of the fish in a daze, and couldn't take a break, so he swallowed the dried fish into his stomach in one bite. But how can a small bag of dried fish fill Xiaobai's stomach.
After being hooked out of the gluttony, Xiaobai opened his eyes pitifully and looked at Du Jiujiu, licking his nose with his wet little pink tongue, and stretching out his paws to pat the bag of dried fish to signal Du Jiujiu.
Seeing its cute appearance, Du Jiujiu couldn't care about eating by himself, so he directly turned out all the dried fish, tore open the packages one by one and fed them to Xiaobai. When it was satisfied to lie back on the ground, it sat back down and ate what little food was left.
"Waste is shameful" is probably everyone's view in the last days that everyone agrees with it from the bottom of their hearts.
Thanks to the efforts of a few of their amazing food adepts, a large number of snacks and drinks quickly bottomed out.
Du Jiujiu looked at the mess in front of him, rubbed his slightly bulging lower abdomen, and burped contentedly.
"Let's rest for ten minutes and let's go."
"Huh, why is it so fast!?" Wei Qingqing pouted a little dissatisfied, but seeing that everyone was not dissatisfied, he had to nod reluctantly.
A happy lunchtime was just a small episode in the boring journey, and when they packed their bags again and set out on the road, there was still darkness in sight ahead of them.
