If you expect too much from something, you will get much disappointment in turn.

Gu Wu also believes that 'expectations' and 'disappointment' are equal, after all, no one can guarantee that they will be 100% successful, so they should understand the principle of the equivalence of 'disappointment' and 'expectation'.

But now he feels that his 'expectations' are slightly greater than his 'disappointment', because at a time when everything is decaying, being able to find all kinds of different things, from the past to the present, is also a reason to persevere.

Even if the world gradually ends, the living self has to keep moving forward, so wouldn't it be a happy thing to have greater 'expectations' for the future and look for things that have not been touched before?

Although the end of the journey of the two girls is set in the apocalypse, they have been gaining knowledge that they have never known, and they also have enough trustworthy companions, which alone cannot be called an easy goal in modern society.

When Gu Wu was studying, he thought that he was learning new things, which should be the case in theory, but he had forgotten a lot now, because that knowledge could not become an important memory for him, but this world was different......

The more rare and important it is to find edible flowers from the roots of old man Del, to find information left behind by people in the past when he goes to the outlet pipe, to find a diary in an unknown house that records the experiences of others, and to place a treasured book with new knowledge in a cupboard.

That was probably my own mistake...... Gu Wu couldn't help laughing at himself, the reason why he didn't have a deep memory was because he hadn't studied seriously.

But at that time, Gu Wu, who was a rebellious period, was neither a good student nor a quiet teenager, he wanted to find more interesting things, and he was unwilling to look at books and the words on them to increase his knowledge.

Thanks to this, the arrogance and naughtiness at that time made the current Gu Wu not erudite at all, and even when he went to college, he thought that he had not learned anything.

Sure enough, only when you lose can you know how to cherish it, and human beings are such creatures who will remember the pain and stare at the wound.

As for now, Gu Wu, who came to the world of "Girl's Final Journey", has gained an unprecedented sense of reality.

Of course, this is not to say how false the past life was, but in extreme circumstances, it is more alive, if you want to make a choice, Gu Wu naturally wants to return to the original simple modern world.

But life is like this, and it is impossible to satisfy all of them.

The world they live in, the world that μ's girls live in, the world where the protagonists who are oppressed by giants live, the world that constantly distorts when they want to change the past, and the world that causes commotion by finding lost property, in addition to these worlds that exist in a certain plane, the world in which Gu Wu lives is also not very peaceful.

It's better to say that the world in which Gu Wu lives is also something depicted in a certain work, so life is really full of variables......

Thinking of this, Gu Wu came back to his senses, there was a little sweat on his forehead, and he put two buckets in his hands on the body of the tracked motorcycle, and after confirming that it would not fall down, he said hello to Qianhu in the driver's seat.

This is the fifth time that the water has been received, and it should be able to fill all the large oil barrels next to Old Man Del's warehouse, which can be regarded as a complete job.

Walking back along the road he came from, Gu Wu looked around, it was still the abandoned scenery, and he gradually became accustomed to it.

Everywhere you go, there are empty buildings, some of which are covered with moss, some are overgrown with weeds, and some are crumbling, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

Feet constantly stepping on the ruins, the occasional crunch of bricks and glass, I don't know what the people who used to live here were like.

Of course, Gu Wu knew that those people were no different from modern people, and what he was interested in was where those people went and what kind of life they lived when the world gradually collapsed.

Why did Chinohe and Yuri survive? Why did people who were more capable of survival die?

If you care too much about these problems, there will be more troubles, and Gu Wu will not continue to pursue them.

Regardless of the real situation, the two girls were survivors and survived to the present.

Jumping up and over the telephone pole that fell to the ground, there were traces left by a tracked motorcycle on the right side, and it was presumably that Senhe had already arrived at the warehouse.

By the time Gu Wu returned to the warehouse that was the camp, Qianhu was dragging Yuri and holding her arm with his hand.

"You, you idiot, you have said don't touch other people's things casually!"

"What does it matter! Mr. Gu Wu will definitely forgive us! ”

"Do you think you're the eldest lady somewhere?"

Facing the dispute between the two people, Gu Wu asked with a puzzled expression

"What happened?"

"Can I have another one for lunch?"

Yuri asked unabashedly, which made Chiho show a helpless expression.

The power of foodies is infinite, and thousands of households must know this......

Gu Wu, who heard the girl's question, shook his head.

"It's still early, let's eat together in the evening."

"Huh? Isn't that right now? ”

"Because you want to be economical."

Yuri, who looked disappointed, was quickly slapped on the head by Chito.

"It's really stupid, it's good for people to give you food, but you still have to inch in."

"It tastes really good......"

Yuri, who was covering her head, dodged Chino's pursuit and ran to the side.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu Wu."

Looking at Yuri's back, Chiho apologized on her behalf.

"Don't worry, it's not something to apologize for."

"But what we eat is very important, and you give it to us......"

"It's enough, at least more than ten days is no problem."

In addition to carrying more than ten points of self-heating lunch, Gu Wu also had some high-energy emergency food, with very few drinks and a little more mineral water, and then some daily necessities and a change of clothes.

To be honest, Gu Wu has never experienced such a life, unlike surviving in the wild, this world is a real world where food is scarce and cities are abandoned, and it is not easy to know what to eat.

Not only that, but due to the fact that some facilities are already in disrepair, they may collapse at any time, and the danger of building collapse is enormous.

Of course, there are some equipment and buildings that are in operation, but even that doesn't mean there is food.

As Yuri casually said, in this kind of world, the thing to do is to learn to 'be friendly with despair', not to think about how to escape the status quo.

In fact, the translation is to adapt to the world, not to let the world adapt to you.

"Where did Mr. Gu Wu come from? Carrying so many things. ”

While Yuli was running around to observe, Qianhu sat beside Gu Wu and asked such a question.

Gu Wu, who had already figured out how to answer, did not hesitate and immediately responded

"There are different shelters all over the world, and because the shelter I was in was about to collapse, I ran out with my things, and I didn't think I would meet anyone else."

"That's the case, so what does Mr. Gu Wu plan to do in the future? Going to the top? ”

"Not necessarily, I'm not going to go to the upper level now, I want to wander around first, maybe to the upper level, or to the lower level."

"I see."

"What are you going to do on the upper floors?"

Hearing Gu Wu ask, Qianhu showed a puzzled expression.

"I can't say the detailed reasons, but I always feel that if you reach the top, you can change something, or find something."

Life is not just about living, it also needs to be pursued.

Even if the world comes to an end, they will continue to move towards the top.

"And how long are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow...... The car was running out of gas, and You and I were originally looking for gas nearby. ”

"It's really hard."

"I've been used to it for a long time......"

Chido didn't show a depressed expression, unlike the doubts just now, he still looked full of expectations for the future.

They are young but have to face such a life, and their strength is admirable.

You must know that Gu Wu is not sympathetic, but admired.

Everyone wants to live, it's just a different way.

"Xiao Qian! Mr. Gu Wu! Look at this! I've found a sword! Get it on! ”

Yuri held the iron piece wrapped in rags and added wooden blocks to make the hilt of the sword, and waved it excitedly.

The next moment, Yuri's 'blade' slammed on the door of the warehouse, and with the sound of impact, the angry voice of Old Man Del was heard inside.

"What idiot is out there disturbing my sleep!!"

"Xiao Qian is really messing around!"

Yuri followed and began to shake the pot, but was taught a lesson by the thousand households who rushed over......

————

It was dusk, and when dinner time was approaching, Old Man Del made a move.

He set up a makeshift stove, then moved an iron pot outside, and began to let Gu Wu light the fire, while he entered the warehouse again and took out the roots of the flowers.

"I'm going to give you a taste of this stuff today."

"Huh? I'm going to eat Mr. Gu Wu's food! ”

"Don't be a picky eater, little girl."

Del told Yuri not to complain and began to take out the roots of the flowers and put them on the stone slabs.

Although Yuri was more concerned about Gu Wu's food, she didn't continue to make noise, but stared at Del's every move.

At this time, Chiho and Yuri were ordered by Del to fetch some water in order to rinse the roots of the flowers.

Gu Wu, who was making a fire, looked to the right side from time to time, and Del held the root spread on the stone slab in his hand, grabbed a certain part with his hand, and pulled it down, and a flower root as thin as rice noodles appeared.

Repeating the action, Del turned the root into a thin strip like rice noodles, rinsed it with the water that the two girls had brought and put it in an iron pot.

Since Gu Wu had already made a fire, the water quickly boiled, steaming the flower roots like rice noodles, and the heat continued to drift in the air.

"Speaking of which, Gu Wu, what kind of condiment did you have before, right? How about taking a little bit out? ”

"No problem."

Gu Wu did not refuse Old Man Del's request, took out the chili oil mixed with table salt, and put it into the pot.

"Normally I don't use this thing, but I join this ......"

Speaking of which, Del brought out emergency food, and it seems that he usually puts salty emergency food into the pot to enhance the taste of 'Hanagen Rice Noodles'.

However, it is rice noodles, in Gu Wu's opinion, they are no different from noodles, and he himself also likes noodles as a food, after all, the price is not expensive, and he can cook noodles many times.

About five minutes later, Del, who was wearing gloves, disconnected the iron pot, and everyone also took out the bowls they were using, as for the chopsticks, they were disposable chopsticks provided by Gu Wu.

Del, who sandwiched the 'Hanagen Rice Noodles', no, the Hanagen Noodles into everyone's bowl, looked at the crowd.

"Eat."

Chiho and Yuri looked at each other, but they both moved when they saw Del move.

Gu Wuke was not stunned, he picked up the 'flower root noodles' with chopsticks, put them in his mouth and chewed them.

It's a little fragrant, a little chewy, and it tastes like noodles, with a little spicy and salty, it's still pretty good overall.

"This one is delicious too! Are they all made of those flowers? ”

Yuri asked as she ate 'noodles', to which Del was right.

"That's right, but don't try to snatch it from me."

"We're not going to do it!"

Yuri, who is chewing noodles in her mouth, shows her attitude, but her final addition is a little unsettling.

"Just give me something to eat!"

"Stupid, what are you talking about?"

Yuri's threatening speech was complained about by Chino, but Del didn't care, he seemed to like the two little girls.

Gu Wu, who had eaten up the 'noodles' by two, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and at this time, Del asked the two of them.

"You're going to go upper, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm going to leave tomorrow, and I'll have to find some oil before then."

"Oil...... I remember the factory around here had oil. ”

"Really?"

"Yes."

The overjoyed Chito breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that there was no need to run around.

"I'll take you to see it tomorrow afternoon, because I'm going to turn over all the soil in the warehouse for planting flowers in the morning."

"Why?"

The person who asked such a question was Gu Wu.

"Those flowers have a great demand for nutrients and water in the land, and sometimes direct irrigation will not necessarily soak the bottom soil, and some of the roots will wither."

"What a fragile plant."

"That's why it's hope."

Del replied casually, for him, the land, the plants were indeed his hope.

Tomorrow, it looks like tomorrow will be busy.

Before Gu Wu could help, Yuli and Qianhu raised their hands.

"We're here to help, too."

The people who are busy with life are not only Del and Gu Wu, the two girls are also working hard, living, and then ...... Moving forward.
