Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 72: Carding
The sun is shining outside the car, and the cool breeze is gusting inside.
Mingda's car is fast, and the base small Beetle carriage is petite, sturdy and durable. Its biggest benefit is that it consumes wind energy and solar energy, and does not have to burn gas like a van.
A car can seat four people, and if you bring children, five or six people can barely fit in.
Looking at Mingda's blood-red eyes, he insisted on focusing on the road and the wilderness on both sides of the road, for fear of missing a useful piece of information.
"Mingda, do you want to take a break?"
The friend who came with Mingda is surnamed Sha, called Shazhou, and several friends like to jokingly call him Senior Brother Sha.
"No, I'm looking at this side of the road, you help me look across the road to prevent their car from missing."
Mingda looked intently at the road, where there were very few vehicles on the road, let alone pedestrians. But because of the damage caused by meteorites in recent years, it is very uneven, and there are too many potholes.
Shazhou's "Brother, you said, sister-in-law, why did they leave the car when it broke down, I wondered why something was wrong." ”
Mingda's face has always been not good-looking, and when he heard Shazhou ask at this moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is what I'm most worried about, the car is broken, and I won't leave them behind for no reason." What's more, their car is still an isolation car, and the car is full of fever......"
Mingda suddenly stopped talking, he looked at the sandbank, and both of them had horror in their eyes.
Yes, Jiang Chunyu and the child were in an isolation car, and most of the people in the car were scratched and pecked by mutant crows. The reason why these people are quarantined is that they are afraid that there are mutants among them.
Mingda's face turned blue, why were his wife and children abandoned on the road, there was only one possibility, someone in their car had mutated!
Why did Xiao Muchen ask him to go back and look for it, he remembered what Xiao Muchen said when he left: "How many survivors are in the car, if you can bring them back, you can bring them all back." ”
At that time, he was only concerned about going back to find his wife and children, and completely forgot that there were at least seven or eight people on the No. 3 isolation car, including the driver. Now they only drove a small Beetle, and if seven or eight people were alive, it would not be a small Beetle that could be stuffed at all.
Shazhou stammered: "Brother, also, maybe it's not as serious as you think." ”
can only say that he will not comfort people, he can think of it, how can Mingda not think about it.
Mingda stepped on the accelerator and hit the ground, his wife was just an ordinary woman, and his son was only four years old.
If, they ......
Mingda didn't dare to think about it, he didn't know if he could pick them up when he went back, he only knew that he had to go back, and he had to hurry up, hurry up.
He was afraid that if he was too late, he might never see them again.
His daughter-in-law, chubby, loves to laugh, and often shouts to lose weight but can't lose weight.
His son, the little one, will do a lot of things, will say that he loves his father and loves his mother, and he has taken his son out to play, but he has not had time to participate in everything he does.
An hour and a half later, Mingda and Shazhou got out of the car, and the two of them looked at the road in front of them and frowned.
On the road, after their convoy left, another wave of meteorites was encountered. A good, barely passable highway now leaves only a huge crater, and the meteorites in the crater are still emitting black smoke.
Shazhou did not give up, climbed over the crooked and deformed railing from the right lane, ran to the left team and looked: "Brother, I can't pass here, what should I do?" We had to walk. ”
Mingda decisively got out of the car and decided to walk.
Sandbar looked at the Beetle with some reluctance: "What about the car?" ”
"Put it here first, maybe we can find your sister-in-law and them, and we can go back."
Mingda crouched down and slipped the car key under the rear left tire, something he and his wife used to do, and if Chun Yu saw the car with his children, he might be able to find the key.
"Let's go"
Mingda didn't know if he could find Chunyu, but he still believed that their mother and son would not die, and came looking for him all the way to the south.
The two men packed up the necessary water and food from the car, climbed over the guardrail to the ditch on the side, climbed over the ditch, and made a circle before getting onto the road.
The little beetle stopped on the opposite side, looking very close, but actually very far away.
It was like a chasm in between, just like he and his wife and children.
……
"Sangyu, how long have we been gone?"
Jiang Chunyu gasped, put Meng Qinghu down and lay down, and carefully hugged the little man with his head in his arms.
Sang Yu looked at the direction of the sun's deviation and roughly calculated in his heart: "We have been walking for an hour and a half." ”
"Rest for a while, give your brother some water to wash him, his body is already hot."
"Hmm."
Sang Yu agreed, took the bucket in Xiao Xiaoxiang's hand and prepared to find a place to fetch water.
"Sister, I'll give you water."
Xiao Xiaoxiang reached into the bucket and put a small half bucket of water. Sang Yu didn't care about himself, so he fed Meng Qinghu a bowl of water first, and then took a small lunch box and drank it by himself.
The wounds on Meng Qinghu's body had already been secretly treated by Sang Yu, but his high fever, no matter what method Sang Yu used, could not be treated like Meng Xinai.
Maybe Meng Xinai is just an ordinary fever, and Meng Qinghu is fighting with two waves of villains in his body at the moment, and whoever wins can be the master.
A group of villains is mutated microorganisms, and a group of villains are abnormal microorganisms.
The base convoy traveled all the way, and every break would be drilled a potable water well beforehand. The well is unburied and will be marked for other passers-by.
They all know that if they follow the road, they will always find an edible water source every few days.
Along the way, we tried to find other water sources, camped by drinking water sources, washed, and filled with more water on the way to prevent there from being without drinking water sources for a long time.
The amount of drinking water needed every day is not enough just by relying on the small appearance of the water system ability. However, it was also a small phase that stimulated the water ability, and it was barely possible to save some drinks along the way.
Meng Sangyu squatted beside Meng Qinghu, she reached out and swept her hand over and over again.
Sort out the chaotic mental power in his body little by little, and prevent them from developing in the direction of distortion and deformation.
She didn't allow her brother to become that terrible appearance.
In Jiang Chunyu's view, it is probably the feeling that his sister is chasing mosquitoes and flies for his brother.
Sang Yu's lips were chapped, her expression was a little aggrieved, she spent a huge amount of mental energy to help her brother treat, but with little effect. This made her very anxious, her brother did not wake up, and she was more and more afraid that he would become like the man in the carriage.
She doesn't want her brother to become that kind of mutant, she wants her brother to become a strange person, even if she can't change, it's good if the original brother gives it back to her.
Meng Qinghu's body was a little hot.
Sang Yu had almost exhausted all of his mental power, and he couldn't help him with half of his senses.
She couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and looked at Jiang Chunyu pitifully: "Aunt Chunyu, will my brother become a bad person?" Will he be like that mutant, killing and eating people? ”
Jiang Chunyu turned her head and didn't dare to look at Meng Sangyu's eyes, she said angrily: "No, even if your brother is for you, he will not become a mutant." ”
After saying that, her eyes were already a little blurry, and she was also scared in her heart.
If Meng Qinghu really became a mutant, the three of them would definitely have to die in his hands, and no one would want to escape.
On the way, Jiang Chunyu also thought about it, why don't you take Xiaoxiao Xiang first.
Xiaoxiao Xiang has water abilities, as long as she is careful and works hard, the mother and son will definitely be able to go to the base.
But she remembered that she and Meng Qinghu killed mutants together in the carriage, and remembered that it was Meng Qinghu who killed the little man and frightened the three people who were eyeing him.
If it weren't for Meng Qinghu's protection, she and Xiaoxiaoxiang might have died long ago.
There is still such a long way to go, even if she takes Xiaoxiao Xiang, she can't guarantee that there will be no danger.
If she asked to take Sang Yu with them, she didn't have to ask, she could know that Sang Yu would not go with them.
Change her, let her leave her little phase away, and she won't.
Forget it, Jiang Chunyu thought dejectedly, even if Meng Qinghu mutated, it would be their fate.
At this time, she couldn't leave them behind no matter what.
"Sangyu, come over and drink some water and eat something."
Jiang Chunyu didn't make a fire, their biscuits were running out, everyone only drank some water, and one person ate half a biscuit and lay down to rest.
I was tired, hungry and thirsty.
Meng Qinghu didn't eat anything, and was only watered a few times by Meng Sangyu and Jiang Chunyu along the way.
Sang Yu lay down and got up after a while: "Aunt Chunyu, let's go forward, there is a river in front." ”
Chun Yu looked at the endless wasteland and was a little stunned.
Where is the river, and how can she not see it?
Xiao Xiaoxiang sat up with him: "Mom, I also feel it, there is a moist breath in front." ”
Well, since both children said they did, maybe they did.
Xiao Xiaoxiang is a supernatural person, and Sang Yu is also an anomaly. Either way, the Adepts are definitely stronger than themselves, listen to them.
Jiang Chunyu squatted down again and laboriously picked up Meng Qinghu.
The weather is hot, she is not a very tall person, Meng Qinghu is almost as tall as her, and it is actually very difficult to carry it.
Fortunately, Meng Qinghu was still conscious, and he was almost half-backed and half-supported along the way.
Most of their belongings were lost, and now they are carrying two small kegs, which contain the lunch boxes and spoons they eat. Jiang Chunyu was carrying a backpack, and in the backpack were four people's washable clothes.
There is also the wrench that Meng Qinghu has been holding in his hand and has not lost, the biscuits on Jiang Chunyu and Sang Yu.
"Sang Yu, how far is it?"
Jiang Chunyu was panting and sweating his clothes. She felt that the road she had traveled in the past two days was more than the sum of her births!
Sang Yu closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the wind blowing across the water, and she also heard the sound of fallen leaves falling on the water.
"Aunt Chunyu, it's about ten minutes to walk away."
Xiao Xiaoxiang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think it's faster, the air here is wetter than other places." ”
Jiang Chun couldn't feel the humidity in the air, she only felt that the air was hot, and her mouth and nose seemed to be spewing fire.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chunyu fell under the shade of a tree with Meng Qinghu on his back: "I can't walk, what about the river you are talking about, I think, have you heard the story of Wangmei to quench your thirst?" ”
Sang Yu and Xiao Xiaoxiang couldn't walk anymore, but they both firmly believed that there would definitely be a water source after a few more steps.
"Aunt Chunyu, you hold on a little longer, and we can take a bath with water."
For this group of four, what a blessing it is to be able to take a bath.
Jiang Chunyu shook his head: "Let's rest for a while, we really can't walk." ”
Xiao Xiaoxiang also broke the jar and sat down next to his mother, anyway, the river is over there and won't run, so it's okay to take a break.
Sang Yu also leaned on her brother and lay down, she was so tired, tired and thirsty.
Meng Sangyu, who had just been lying down, bounced up suddenly: "Aunt Chunyu, someone is here." ”
Jiang Chunyu opened his eyes and looked at Sang Yu: "What person?" ”
"It's the three people my brother killed a man."
Sang Yu had heard their footsteps, and it was easy to tell that the footsteps of the people were different.
"Quick, help my brother up, let's run."
Jiang Chunyu bent over and picked up Meng Qinghu and ran, now that the tiger is so burning, the three of them can't deal with it.
Jiang Chunyu carried Meng Qinghu on his back, and Sang Yu pulled Xiao Xiaoxiang to carry a small iron bucket, and ran together for about a hundred meters, and a small river crossed in front of them.
Jiang Chunyu was dumbfounded, this river is about ten meters wide, there are no bridges and no boats, how can they cross it?
