Chapter 24: Parting

Three months of time flew by in this way, in Su Chen's busyness and the observation of sleeping beasts.

In the last week before parting, Su Chen took a few more leaves.

He didn't mention to the old man about the coming end of the world, but he and the old man grinded hard to get the right to use a few idle houses in the martial arts hall. So, for most of the last week, Su Chen used to stock up on supplies.

The five rooms in good condition are respectively stocked with a large number of sealed grain for long-term storage, all kinds of processed finished and semi-finished instant food, packaged purified water and mineral water, water purification tablets, all kinds of basic and first-aid medicines, electric heaters, alcohol heaters, solid alcohol, batteries, generators, diesel, weapons, tents, blankets, quilts, sleeping bags...... and so on. In addition, Su Chen also specially prepared a lot of tobacco leaves and liquor for the old man. These things will become luxury in the future.

He told the old man that these things would be stored in the old man's place, and the storage period would be until he came to pick them up in person.

One-tenth of the supplies, even if they are given to the old man, are used as rent for the house.

The old man pondered for a long time and readily agreed.

In fact, Su Chen didn't plan to really come back to pick up these supplies.

With the talisman in hand, Su Chen actually only needs a backpack, which is equivalent to having a carry-on, temperature-sealed super mobile warehouse.

These things placed here by the old man are actually just a fraction of all the basic survival materials in Su Chen's hands. It's just that if he doesn't say this, he thinks the old man may not accept it at all.

Although the price level of Blue Star is not high, it is not a small amount of money to fill five rooms.

Although Su Chen is soft-hearted, he can't actually do the realm of Uncle Lei Feng.

He has been getting along with the old man day and night for a long time, and he has developed feelings. The more Su Chen got along with the old man, the more he felt that the old man was very similar to his grandfather.

The two of them are the same as the juniors who are strict (blowing) (hairy) and asking (flawed), but in fact, this is their unique way of expressing love. He has already lost his grandfather, and he really doesn't want to lose half of his master anymore.

Although his old man's temper was a bit big, Su Chen was willing to do it.

Moreover, in fact, in addition to the emotional factor, there is also a reason why Su Chen is a little reluctant to think about it deeply, he has a vague intuition in his heart: he and the old man will meet again.

Maybe one day, due to some kind of unpredictable karma, he will return to this desolate martial arts hall that has been empty, with only one person and one cat. Then this kind of preparation in advance is very important.

It's just that about the end of the world, Su Chen has fully learned the lesson, and he doesn't want to mention it easily. Then, just pretend to let the old man do him a favor, with Su Chen's understanding of him, he will definitely not refuse.

In fact, Su Chen was not worried about the old man's skills at all. Between the old man and himself, he is the one who fights the five scumbags! But if there are no supplies, no food to eat, no water to drink, no matter how good the person is, he will also have to lie down hungry. And with sufficient supplies, the old man really wants to launch a threat, who can resist the ordinary people?

In addition, the location of the martial arts hall is remote and deserted, and the transportation process can be used to hoard more materials here, which will not attract attention. If Su Chen doesn't return here in the future, the old man will be able to carry it for at least two or three years without a problem relying on these materials. And with the old man's skills and personality, two or three years should be enough for him to adapt to the living environment of the new world......

The old man looked coldly at Su Chen's busy work and didn't say anything.

On the day Su Chen left the martial arts hall, the old man personally cooked and cooked a bowl of somen noodles for Su Chen.

Su Chen looked at the white and slender noodles with distinct roots, the thinly cut emerald green cucumbers, the yellow plump bean sprouts, the fragrant black tofu, the red and delicious spicy sauce, and the steaming clear noodle soup, and felt that his nose was a little sour.

He quickly lowered his head, and Siri snorted and munched on noodles, hiding his emotions.

The old man walked away slowly with his hands behind his back, holding a dry tobacco pouch with a brass rod.

When Su Chen carried his shoulders on his back and pulled his trolley case to leave, he originally thought that the old man would probably continue to pretend to be cool and would not take care of him, but who would have thought that there was a slight trilling sentence behind him:

"Come back whenever you want, just like your own family!"

Su Chen stumbled under his feet, didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

The sleeping beast disguised as a "tabby cat" has followed at some point. Blatantly and lazily lying on the trolley suitcase, he followed Su Chen towards the vast world and unknown dangers.

The location of the martial arts hall is relatively high, and the water in this area recedes relatively quickly. In the days when Su Chen began to stock up on supplies, the road was still a little muddy. If you step on it, you can get half a pound of mud. Today, however, the road surface has returned to a dry, smooth, dusty appearance.

The big signboard of the martial arts hall is still obliquely inserted on the ground.

Su Chen once thought about repairing it, but was strongly rejected by the old man. Su Chen couldn't figure out if there was any story in this, so he didn't dare to insist anymore.

Since he was leaving today, Su Chen simply used the crystal curtain bracelet on his wrist to take a group photo of himself and this unlucky brand as a commemoration.

In fact, he also wanted to take a photo with the old man.

However, the old man's collection of antique cameras really can't buy matching film.

And Su Chen's way of taking pictures with the crystal screen bracelet was resolutely resisted by the old man. By the way, there is also a "tabby cat" disguised as a sleeping beast who also expresses resolute resistance to the crystal curtain bracelet.

Therefore, Su Chen finally had to choose to take a picture of the door of the martial arts hall, and talk to this poor big brand, better than nothing!

Su Chen didn't take a picture of himself this time, so he just walked at a normal pace.

Although he hasn't been on the crystal screen to watch the news these days, the information is not closed.

His source of information came from the old man's regular pastime, which he listened to on the radio every night before going to bed.

Because in addition to being a martial arts master, the old man is also a radio enthusiast.

Radio is one of the symbols of the old civilization of the Blue Star, and once ruled the communication method of the Blue Star for 500 years.

Although various new technologies have been emerging since then, for some reason, radio seems to have a rather unique charm of the old era, and there are always some old-school people who are incompatible with new inventions, like old men, who have a soft spot for radio. Even some young people with bright and flexible minds, in order to show that they are different, have joined this circle. So, although the Crystal Curtain has ruled the entire Galactic Federation, radio has not been completely eliminated.

Su Chen's destination was carefully selected based on some information he had heard on the radio recently.

Moss City, a border city bordering Ice Castle in the north of Hot Summer.
