Chapter 48: Reunion
The fire burned all night, burning out all the filth, and Zhigu University was reborn in this fire. It's just that Xiao Huang is tired enough.
After resting for half a day, Xiao Huang recovered a little and followed Li Ang on the road.
"I can finally continue driving", Li Ang carried the off-road vehicle for a long time, and now he was finally about to get out of the city, and the road was gradually less blocked, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh loudly.
Xiao Huang was also happy, and finally could relax on the roof of the car to blow the wind.
Not long after driving, I saw a slender man in front of me fleeing in embarrassment with a hiking bag on his back, and three zombies were chasing after him, one S2, one P3, and one P2. Before you know it, the number of zombies in P3 is gradually increasing.
S2 was extremely fast, and the slender man had already approached in a few vertical jumps, which could be said to be in danger, and even Li Ang had no time to rescue, so he could only shout loudly: "Empty!" "Sora didn't drop the chain this time, and a teleportation appeared in the back of the slender man and slapped S2 to death. As for the remaining two, it was lazy to take care of it, and continued to gnaw on apples as it sat down.
Leon quickly rushed over and dealt with the other two zombies.
"Thank you for saving your life, and please accept it with a little heart." As he spoke, he took out a bag of compressed biscuits from the compartment of his backpack and handed it to Leon with a painful face.
"You're welcome, you can keep it for yourself." When Leon never bothered about food, he obviously wouldn't take anything from him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." He kept bowing while saying thanks, and a bag of compressed biscuits seemed to be more important than his life.
"Is there a gathering place for survivors around here?"
"Yes, I'm from Xinzhigu City, I'll take you there." This person is very smart, knows how to embody his role, and does not ask casually, this may be the survival rule of the little people in the last days.
The slender man's name is Xia Jiang, in fact, he is only 1.8 meters long, but he is really thin, and he is only about 100 catties by visual inspection, so the whole person looks very tall.
Xia Jiang sat crampedly in the co-pilot's seat, staring ahead without squinting.
"Apples?"
Xia Jiang swallowed his saliva and refused with great difficulty: "Thank you, sir, no, no need." ”
This apple has an attractive aroma, and it is even more attractive to people who worry about food all day long, and Leon did not expect him to be able to resist this temptation, and couldn't help but look at him deeply. This is a person with a lot of perseverance!
"My lord, there is the new Zhigu City ahead." Xia Jiang took Li Ang to the gathering place established in the north.
It is said to be a city, but in fact it is the size of a small town, and there is no city wall or anything, only a circle of barbed wire fence enclosed on the outside.
Li Ang parked the car aside and followed Xia Jiang inside, Xiao Huang and Kongkong stayed in the car and did not go in, so as not to cause a commotion.
The people here live in military tents, although they are simple, but there is always a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and one by one the tents are arranged very neatly, and the surrounding sanitation should also be cleaned, the situation is not bad, not as chaotic as the previous City of Hope.
"Xiao Xia came back early today, how was the harvest?" An uncle came out of one of the tents and greeted Xia Jiang with a smile.
"Alas, there is no gain, and the food is getting less and less."
"Yes, I've basically searched the periphery a few times, and it's too dangerous to go inside, and I don't know if my kid found food today."
Along the way, many people greeted Xia Jiang, it seems that his popularity here is not bad, and there are also many people who greet Li Ang with a smile, although they don't know each other, they can still feel the kindness of everyone. Life here may be difficult, but they still maintain hope for the future and continue to work hard.
Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little interested in the managers here, maybe he could find a chance to talk to the managers here, and help them if he could, about the two survivor bases in Zhigu City On the way here, Li Ang also listened to Xia Jiang.
"Mom, Yunruo, I'm back." Xia Jiang also lived in a tent, and in front of the tent was a young woman with a baby wrapped in rags on her back and carrying it on her shoulder, struggling to carry water from a large well.
"You go back ......" The young woman turned her head and was stunned halfway through her words, and many pictures seemed to flash in her eyes, but they were fleeting: "Li Ang?!" ”
Leon had fantasized many times about the two meeting again, but no matter how big his mind was, he couldn't have imagined that it would be here, under such circumstances.
Looking at her familiar and unfamiliar face, there are a thousand words in my heart but I don't know how to say: "Long time no see." He smiled hard and put away all the mixed emotions.
"You know?" Xia Jiang didn't know the past of the two, and he didn't find anything strange about the two.
"We were college classmates."
"We were college classmates." Unison.
"That's such a coincidence, don't stand, sir, please sit inside."
"Mom, there's a guest coming", Xia Jiang shouted inside as he lifted the tent.
"What kind of guests are not guests, have you found anything to eat after going out for a long time?" As a sharp voice came from the darkness inside the tent, a middle-aged woman with a very thin but mean face slowly came out of the shadows: "It's you?!" ”
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time." The person who came turned out to be Yun Ruo's mother, and her ugly face Li Ang remembered deeply.
"You're not dead yet, hurry up, we don't have anything to eat to entertain you, let's go!" She obviously didn't want to see Li Ang, and chased Li Ang one by one.
"Mom! This man saved my life today! ”
"me! You waste, how did I marry Yun Ruo to you blindly, did I find something to eat today! ”
"Mom, you're going to be hungry, I still have half a compressed biscuit, you ......"
"Bring it!" Without waiting for Xia Jiang to finish speaking, the middle-aged woman snatched half of the compressed biscuit in Xia Jiang's hand and turned around and went in again.
"I'm sorry, Yun Ruo's mother doesn't have a good temper, so you can laugh."
"It's okay, I still know what kind of temper she has."
"Sit, sir." Xia Jiang found a wooden stool that was simply nailed together with wooden strips.
"Let's not sit down, let's go outside."
"Yun Ruo, you go and take out the previous piece of salted meat and cook it."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Yun Ruo had been quietly watching Li Ang after he came, and was shouted by Xia Jiang, and walked into the tent in a little panic.
Not long after Yun Ruo entered, a sharp angry scolding came: "You are a money-loser, you want to sell your own mother as soon as your lover comes, don't you!" ”
Yun Ruo's mother pushed Yun Ruo and walked out, and when she saw Li Ang standing at the door of the tent, she was very angry, and while snatching a piece of sun-blackened palm-sized air-dried fresh meat in Yun Ruo's hand, she scolded angrily: "Why are you still here, you still want to eat my salted meat, get out!" ”
"Mom, I finally met Li Ang here......"
"Do you want him or do you want your mother and me, pity me for working hard to pull you up, you are not a filial son!" Yun Ruo's mother scolded and cried at the same time.
"Mom, why are you like this again! If it weren't for you......" Yun Ruo said and couldn't help shedding tears.
"I'd better go first." Li Ang was also heartbroken when he saw Yun Ruo burst into tears, but he could only turn around and leave.
……
In the wilderness, Leon chased a herd of horned goats, slashing and razing patches of weeds with his long knife, and also cutting down a rhinoceros-sized goat, allowing blood to splatter all over his body.
Three years ago, Yun Ruo took Li Ang home to see her mother, when she knew that Li Ang was an orphan, Yun Ruo's mother decisively beat the mandarin duck and forbade the two to have a relationship. Between family affection and love, Yun Ruo finally chose family affection, Li Ang doesn't blame Yun Ruo, only blames creation for making people!
……
A loud bang alarmed the people in the surrounding tents, and Xia Jiang Yunruo and her mother were naturally among them.
In front of the tent, a huge pile of fresh goat carcasses was piled up like a hill and tightly bound together by strong vines.
"Xia Jiang, Yun Ruo, live well!"
After Leon finished speaking, an acceleration brought a gust of wind, and it was long gone. As for Yun Ruo's mother's expression and what she thinks, Li Ang is lazy to care, let him go over the past.
