Chapter 32: A Night in the Same Bed
"You rest, I'll fix the door here." Jiang Yunlan found materials from other rooms that could still be used, reinforced the door, especially the rotten part, and found a very thick wooden stick to put behind the door, so that even if there was any monster impact, it would at least last for a while, giving them time to escape.
Zhao Chuling didn't know or understand these at all, and seeing Jiang Yunlan busy, she didn't know how to help. When he knocked on the plank, in order not to make a sound, he deliberately used some soft cloth to pad underneath, and there was basically no loud sound during the whole process.
After Jiang Yunlan finished reinforcing the door, the sun had already begun to set, Jiang Yunlan said: "It's not a last resort, we still don't want to walk outside at night, many monsters like to hunt at night, and we can only eat food today." ”
"yes, okay." Zhao Chuling didn't know what to do next, he was already hungry, so he took out the compressed food left at noon and ate it.
It was pitch black outside, and it was impossible for them to light the lights, and the only sound in the room was the sound of them chewing food, the cries of some bugs outside, and sometimes the roars of unknown monsters.
The first time Zhao Chuling was outside the city, he was always nervous, especially when he heard any abnormal movements, and he would carefully listen to where the sound was and what came from.
Jiang Yunlan could vaguely see Zhao Chuling's situation, guessed her thoughts, swallowed the food and said: "Don't be so nervous, it's like this in the wild, being too nervous will make you not get a good rest, relax, the first time I followed my dad out of the camp, I can be nervous at all." ”
"When was the first time you left camp?" Zhao Chuling asked curiously.
"At the age of six, I helped my dad carry the collected goods, and it was not far from the camp, so my dad took me." Jiang Yunlan smiled when she recalled the past.
"I was out there at the age of six, compared to you, I am much happier, I didn't expect you to live such a life at such a young age." Zhao Chuling said with some distress that if he was replaced, he didn't know if he could persevere.
"Growing up in the camp, everyone has been doing this kind of thing, and it's nothing if you're used to it. Can you ask about your brother, it seems that you care about him very much, and I want to help you if I can. Jiang Yunlan suddenly took the initiative to say this for some reason, probably because she wanted to know everything about Zhao Chuling, maybe she really liked this girl.
Speaking of this topic, Zhao Chuling suddenly fell silent, and he didn't even have the sound of eating, Jiang Yunlan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'm practicing." ”
"It doesn't matter, because of my cowardice, I didn't dare to stand up to clarify for Sister Jing, and my brother was forced to separate from Sister Jing, and a few days later, my father forcibly asked my brother to marry a woman I hadn't seen, so my brother betrayed the family and left, I heard that after leaving Huaxia City, the people sent out by my father were not only not found, but also killed. He threatened to take revenge on the family, from childhood to adulthood, it was useless for me to do anything, only my brother was the best for me, he was always taking care of me and protecting me, but I didn't have the courage to stand up and clarify for him, I was really useless, I hated myself like this. Zhao Chuling sobbed as he spoke.
Jiang Yunlan panicked all of a sudden, she didn't know how to comfort her, she originally wanted to say that she was going to find his brother with her, but with her own ability, it was difficult to survive outside, let alone find someone outside the city.
Suddenly, the sound of insects around disappeared, Jiang Yunlan was startled and immediately pounced on Zhao Chuling's mouth to cover it, Zhao Chuling was startled, and hurriedly resisted, thinking that Jiang Yunlan was going to do something to herself, Jiang Yunlan hurriedly whispered: "Oh, something is approaching, slow down your breathing, cover your body with shelter grass, and move lightly." ”
Zhao Chuling immediately stopped struggling, and the two hugged each other and lay quietly on the grass bunk, their bodies completely attached to each other, and their bodies were covered with grass.
It wasn't long before they heard a slight sound of movement outside the door, the footsteps were not numbered, they were certainly not human, they sounded like creature with limbs and legs.
The creature stood motionless outside the door, nor did it move in the haystack where the two of them were, and a tense aura permeated the room, and both of them were sweating nervously, and they didn't care that the two of them were so close.
After a while, the unknown creature didn't seem to notice anything and left, and when he couldn't hear it anymore, Zhao Chuling breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that the two were so close, and just wanted to keep their distance, Jiang Yunlan made a puff again, and said in a very soft voice: "Don't move, Daddy has repeatedly warned you, at this time, it's best to stay still, the possibility of the cunning monster coming back is very high, sometimes it will even go back and forth several times." ”
Although Zhao Chuling was embarrassed that the two hugged each other so intimately, in order to live, she didn't say anything more. It was only a few minutes before the footsteps of the monster came from outside, although it was already very light, but it could still be heard a little, the night was so quiet that even the sound of the heartbeat felt heavy.
Now Zhao Chuling has to believe it, and the two hugged each other and slept all night. In the second half of the night, the screams of other students before their deaths could often be heard, and in this dark night, it was even more terrifying.
As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Jiang Yunlan woke up, and at this time he found that he was asleep with Zhao Chuling in his arms, and his heart beat faster immediately, he just woke up from the frozen state yesterday, and then got in the car and came here, his spirit was relatively tired, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
He got up lightly and spread the shelter grass on Zhao Chuling's body, so that he could keep warm, now the weather is very cold, if they all have source energy protection, ordinary people will definitely not be able to sleep in the cold, and then he left quietly.
It wasn't until more than seven o'clock in the morning that Zhao Chuling woke up, suddenly thought of how he fell asleep, and sat up all of a sudden. The night before yesterday, she watched Jiang Yunlan wait for him to wake up, and she never slept, so she fell asleep unconsciously last night.
Thinking that she slept with Jiang Yunlan last night, her face was as red as an apple, and then she found that Jiang Yunlan was gone, she panicked all of a sudden, and saw that the wooden stick at the gate was gone, and she was just about to go out to find it, Jiang Yunlan quietly pushed open the door and came in.
Seeing Jiang Yunlan's figure, she suddenly felt peace of mind, and unconsciously she found that she actually wished that she had him by her side, and she began to get used to being with him, which was incredible to her, since she was a child, except for her father and brother, she rarely had contact with other men.
Just when she was looking at Jiang Yunlan in a daze, Jiang Yunlan took out a few fruits the same size as fresh longan from her waist bag and said, "I went to find breakfast, this is called rat fruit, it is very sweet, I used to look for this to eat outside." ”
"Thank you." Zhao Chuling took a few and stuffed them into his mouth, and after biting them down, he said in surprise: "It's really delicious, you are so powerful, you know all this." ”
Jiang Yunlan smiled and said: "It's all taught to me by my father, and finding food is the basic skill of our scavengers." Let's go out and find something useful after eating, we must find a water source and stock up on some food today, and if we are lucky, we should find a lot of good things. ”
"It's a barren place, what can you find?" Zhao Chuling asked.
"It's not been visited by scavengers yet, and there are so many good things that I'm sure you'll be surprised when the time comes." Jiang Yunlan smiled mysteriously, and then tucked the shelter grass into her clothes.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Chuling asked.
"The shelter grass dries quickly, almost dry overnight, and it has a warming effect in our clothes and also masks the smell on our bodies. You also race some in, it's cold outside right now. Jiang Yunlan stuffed her clothes bulging, and then found some dry shelter grass and handed it to her.
"Poof, you're so funny." Zhao Chuling covered his mouth and laughed, stuffed his clothes and bulged out, looking fat, Jiang Yunlan was used to it, Zhao Chuling saw it for the first time, so he couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Yunlan spread his hands and said: "Anyway, in the wild, no one can see it, and the ones you encounter are basically walking corpses or something, hurry up and go, time is life." ”
