Chapter 16: Overnight Stay
The two men were stunned, and Ren Fei continued: "I want to go and see my parents." β
The interior of the car became silent. Without any preparation, the end of the world was thrown in the face at once, and it was cut off from the past world in an instant. It's only been so long that everyone has almost forgotten that they were originally a family person.
The two have been in love for several years, and Zhang Zifeng has never been to Ren Fei's house, but he has imagined that scene countless times. The two of them have already vowed to grow old, and meeting their parents is naturally an important part.
It's just that I didn't expect this matter to drag on until the end came, and I don't know if I can see success - her parents have probably become zombies.
For the first time, everyone is in the end of the world, there is no experience, no need to work, no need to go to school, and there is no need to worry about making money, everyone's life seems to have lost its focus, and they don't know what to do all of a sudden.
In fact, theoretically, the most important thing to do now is to find a safe place - but no one knows where it is safe, and even Xiong Xianming and Zhang Zifeng can't reach an agreement. So although Ren Fei's goal sounds a little illusory, it is better than no goal.
"How to get there?" Xiong Xianming asked as he drove, obviously agreeing with Ren Fei's suggestion.
"Keep moving forward, there is a fork in the road a few miles away," Ren Fei said, "You can turn to another big road, and further on, it used to take a day." β
"That's it." Xiong Xianming said, and with one foot of the accelerator drove through the fork in the road, heading towards a narrow asphalt road.
The car moved smoothly, and the sun gradually sank in the west.
The silhouette of the city fades away, and the roads become quieter. The road was flanked by tall trees, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, leaving many dappled shadows; On both sides are large fields of farmland, the wheat has ripened, and the large wheat fields are swept up by the wind, which is very beautiful.
The time for harvesting the wheat has long since passed, and the only reason why they have stood so far is that there has been no rain β and it is strange that there has not been a drop of rain for more than a month.
The more this is the case, the more desolate the feeling in Zhang Zifeng's heart becomes. When I was a child, I was a person who picked up ears of wheat, and it was hard work. Now that the good crops have been harvested, a heavy rain has fallen, and I am afraid that this season's grain will be lost.
Those who survive may be able to rummage around for food to survive for a while, but who will feed them in the future?
Occasionally, waddling figures could be seen in the wheat fields, and from a distance, it seemed as if farmers were inspecting their fields, but Zhang Zifeng knew that those figures were almost 100% zombies. Occasionally, when you turn around, you can see hideous faces from afar, and the world of the past can never go back.
The asphalt road is not very wide, and it is not uncommon to see all kinds of vehicles on the side of the road, bicycles, battery cars, and cars. The people who have become zombies spread out across the vast world and wander everywhere. Not sure where they're going.
However, this also has the advantage, at least these zombies will not gather near the road and cause problems for the trips of the three people.
Zhang Zifeng looked at the red sun that was sinking in the west and said, "We need to find a safe place, at least when we sleep at night, we can sleep more soundly." β
Accommodation is the number one need at hand, and you can't wait until it's dark.
Only then did the three of them realize that they had escaped from the city and seemed to be out of the cage, but in fact they had abandoned a safe nest. Whether it's the burglar-proof windows of a rental house or the iron door of a supermarket office, at least the zombies of most departments can be kept out. But now everyone relies on this car, and it is indeed not too safe to sleep on it.
Looking for another house? It doesn't seem too difficult, but it means going back to the land where humans gather - now in the realm of zombies. And all the shelters that can't be moved look like cages, and if you encounter a chosen one like Lin Xue, you won't even have time to escape.
Neither Xiong Xianming nor Ren Fei wanted to leave the car. At least not too far away.
"Well, we'll drive to the open area and take turns on duty. Once we find an abnormal situation, we can attack and retreat. Zhang Zifeng suggested, and no one objected.
Before the sun sank into the horizon, the three of them finally chose a place to rest, which was actually a high-lying road, with no buildings except for wheat fields around, and it was unobstructed, at least when Lin Xue and her war servants chased after them, they could be found in advance.
When Zhang Zifeng sorted out the escape, he stuffed a tent in the precious trunk space, and soon the tent stood next to the car, and the three of them sat in front of the tent, spread a cloth, and began to eat dinner.
Luncheon meat, ham sausage, and beer, life seems to be pretty good.
Zhang Zifeng looked at Ren Fei beside him, who was concentrating on eating, and his face no longer had the decadence in the rental house.
Sure enough, escaping was the right choice.
Xiong Xianming hiccuped and said, "You two sleep in the tent, and I will sleep in the car." Whether it was to give up the tent to the mandarin ducks who wanted to be comfortable, or to be safer for themselves, his suggestion was affirmed by the couple. These days in the rental house is very leisurely, really let Ren Fei go to the car for a night, a little unaccustomed.
As for safety, with Zhang Zifeng, a zombie who is not interested and has strong combat effectiveness, what is Ren Fei afraid of?
"Okay," Zhang Zifeng said: "I'm worth the first half of the night, and you're worth the second half of the night." This actually excludes Ren Fei from the scope of duty. My girlfriend has been feeding herself to drink blood these days, her body is weak, and she needs a lot of sleep time to rest.
Xiong Xianming smiled and said, "No problem. But are you being too careful? It's been so far, that little girl won't catch up again. β
With today's experience, he suddenly felt that the zombies who had been afraid of lions and tigers before didn't seem to be so terrifying. It's muddy, walking around on instinct, and it's slow, especially here, you can't even see the shadow of a zombie as far as the eye can see. Is there really anyone who doesn't open his eyes, and when he steps on the accelerator, how can he stop it?
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Zhang Zifeng said.
"It's all up to you," Xiong Xianming said as he stood up, pulled the car door and said, "I'll go to sleep first, just call me at midnight." β
Not long after, the sound of Xiong Xianming's thunderous snoring came from the car. He hadn't slept a single peaceful sleep these days, especially today's experience was so exciting that it made him feel like all the tiredness had come up.
Zhang Zifeng smiled bitterly, turned his head to Ren Fei and said, "You go to sleep too." β
Ren Fei shook his head and said, "I don't want to sleep." I'm going to be with you. Sleeping for more than ten hours a day made her feel an inexplicable aversion to sleeping, especially these days, for the first time in the past few days, she leaned on Zhang Zifeng's side, and she was even more reluctant to sleep.
There was not a trace of clouds in the sky, the bright moonlight covered the earth with a layer of silver frost, and the stars twinkled in the sky, adding a touch of fairy tale color to the vast earth and sky.
Looking at Ren Fei, who was like a bird beside him, Zhang Zifeng suddenly realized that he and his girlfriend had not kissed for many days, and the two of them had been separated into two worlds by the iron fence these days.
He felt that his body was hot, and his human emotions were extremely strong, and he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss it, and his hands became dishonest.
Feeling the man's emotions, Ren Fei's body trembled slightly, and he glanced at the car sadly, there was still a man in it.
Where can Zhang Zifeng take care of these, and besides, Xiong Xianming's thunderous sound is estimated to be unable to wake him up with thunder. And he left the tent for two people, wasn't that what he intended?
Zhang Zifeng's movements were even more violent, and he quickly dragged Ren Fei into the tent.
There was a wheezing sound in the darkness, and Ren Fei's voice with the last shred of reason:
"Condom, no condomββ, ah-"
