Chapter 56: The Journey
Wow......
The rain was incessant, and the water falling from the sky pooled into small streams in the courtyard and poured towards the lower drainage canals.
Reyna said yesterday that tomorrow is a good day.
Spring rain, it's expensive...... But that was before.
The little girl looked at the scene outside, she was blind but not deaf.
Zang Feng sat on the small round table by the window, holding a fruit knife and peeling apples one by one.
The peel hangs in the air in round rolls, with a little green mark on it.
Food is precious in the wasteland, and fruit is even rarer. For the average legionnaire, apples, pears, dates and the like were distributed only on the weekends of the harvest season to replenish the body's lack of vitamins.
Zang Feng was worried, not only because of the rainy weather outside, but also because the task of peeling apples returned to him after Tian Hu's death.
As the boss of the Panda Man Legion, the person who can slaughter the wrists with Yang Zhina, the leader of the Razor Man Demon and others, actually holds a fruit knife to peel apples for a blind and lame girl, if someone who doesn't know about the past experience of one big and one small knows about it, he will definitely stare in surprise and open his mouth wide.
He sighed as he threw away the peel.
The apples in his hand came from the greenhouse in Vault 1083, where there was a suitable environment to grow fruits, but after being attacked by mutants, the temperature controller and the nuclear power center were irreparably damaged.
The apples in the freezer can still last for half a moon, and once you don't eat them, you really don't know where to find such cheap fruits that don't have much radioactivity.
"Damn mutants." He cursed under his breath.
"Zang Feng, what are you talking about?"
"No, I'm saying it's a nasty weather."
Rena nodded, feeling a little down.
Zang Feng put the peel on the plate, and prepared to take it to General Wang for a while, and put it in when he boiled porridge at night.
"Boom, fresh fruit is here." He took the peeled apple and shook it in front of Rena's face.
The little girl's frowning brows stretched, and she held the peeled apple in both hands to her mouth and clicked and bit it, like a little rabbit eating a carrot.
"Thank you." She gnawed for a while and looked up and said, "Mom said to thank others for their kindness and be a polite child." ”
Zang Feng nodded with a look of pity.
He did not tell Reyna the true face of her so-called "parents", only that the two were attacked by marauders and tragically died.
Just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.
Before Zang Feng could say come in, the door was pushed open.
"What are you waiting for here? If you delay any longer, you won't be able to get to Gem City when it's dark. ”
Reyna heard Tang Yan's voice, and her little face buried behind the apple lifted.
Zang Feng was stunned, looked at the person who broke into the room and said, "Is this the armor you wore last night?" It seems like...... It's not the same. ”
Of course, this is not the armor used by the Reaper, it is the armor used by the head of the Grim Reaper of the elite guards under Mengsk, but Tang Yan removed the jet backpack at the back, except for the change of the paint, and the general image has not changed.
Tang Yan looked at him and said, "Is this the point of the problem?" The point is how long you have to hesitate to change your clothes and go downstairs to the bus, and by the way, don't forget to bring Rena's folding wheelchair. ”
"What are you kidding? It's raining outside......"
Zang Feng no longer bothered about whether he had changed his armor or not, and pointed to the gloomy sky outside.
Basically, not many people hang out on a rainy day, unless that person wants to raise the radiation level of the body.
Well, except for the Shinrikyo group of lunatics.
Tang Yan shook the regeneration injection in his hand: "Don't talk about rainy days, even if you are ready to eat radiation as food, I can save you back." ”
Rena couldn't see the body movements of the two, but she understood what Tang Yan meant.
She held up the apple she had nibbled off: "Tang Yan, give it to you." ”
That's when she's saying thank you.
She hates rainy days. Although I can't see it, my sister, who went to "work" first, said that God is crying for human beings on a rainy day.
"Thank you." He thanked her: "I never take food from children. With that, he closed the door and walked away.
Rena turned her head to look at Zang Feng and said in a firm and powerful voice, "He's a good person. ”
This is her rebuttal to the Legion Commander's words yesterday.
………………
The military off-road vehicle turned into a car bomb and buried many living corpses, and they could only squeeze into a modified pickup truck.
GEM CITY IS 42KM SOUTH OF THE PANDAREN LEGION BASE.
It's raining outside, the roads are muddy, and it takes 2-3 hours to reach your destination, even if it's all the way.
Tang Yan sat in the co-pilot, holding dog meat in his arms.
The third gun was responsible for driving, and three people were squeezed into the rear seats.
Zang Feng is on the left, Reyna is in the middle, and on the right is the Legion's Cook General Wang.
Tang Yan was in the car when he came down from the office building, and he refused to come down, not to say that there were not enough spices in the kitchen, so he had to go to the Gem City Market to buy some.
Sangun suggested that he go with him, because when he got to the ground, he could do some manual work, such as carrying the mechanical exoskeleton in the cargo compartment to the repair shop.
The mechanical exoskeleton was left behind by the mysterious man named Shin, as the dog meat destroyed its transmission, and it was impossible to take it away in that case.
Tang Yan gave it to the third cannon, but before that could be done it would have to repair the transmission system of the mechanical exoskeleton.
This thing is not capable of being repaired by ordinary people, and only the craftsmen of Mr. Skillful Craftsman's Workshop in Gem City are capable of solving the problem with the drivetrain.
At about 3 p.m., the pickup truck left the wilderness and entered the ruins of the city after the nuclear war.
It is rumored that the city used to be called Qindao, and it was also the number one big city in Huaxia, but at this moment it has been reduced to a ruin, slowly worn out and withered in the wind and rain.
Few people remember its original name today, and it was replaced by Gem City.
The ruins of the suburbs are not peaceful, and living corpses often crawl out of the corners, and the guards of Gem City are never able to clean them up...... The farther away you are from Gem City, the worse this situation becomes.
The best course of action for those heading to Gem City, whether by car or on foot, is to stay out of the city and get through the outskirts as quickly as possible, away from densely populated areas.
As he approached the collapsed viaduct, Tang Yan saw several scavenger merchants walking on the edge of the broken road with mutated two-headed oxen. They wear thick radiation-resistant raincoats and closed gas masks on their faces, trying to isolate themselves from the rain.
The mutant two-headed cow was pulling thick sacks on its back, bulging, and I didn't know what it contained.
It could be old clothes, toys, porcelain, gasoline, nuclear batteries, ammunition, and other things collected from the ruins.
General Wang waved to the scavengers outside through the window, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.
"! It is the person of the White Widow. At this moment, there was a curse from the three cannons.
Tang Yan looked ahead, only to see a minivan painted black with the white spider logo embedded in the air intake grille coming in front of the road.
