Chapter 22 Come, one man and one shovel

The other side.

Just when Superman was going to explain to Jack Hall and the vice president how the more than 1,000-meter trees came from, Shen Zhu had already woken up the southbound team and set off for Washington at six o'clock in the morning.

Due to the fact that the earth had released an ice spell in the United States before, the vehicle of the southbound team was paralyzed and could not be driven, and the team could only walk about 137 miles to Washington.

However, the road conditions were not very good at this time, the sky was covered by thick clouds, there was not a trace of light, and there were snowflakes mischievous, or obscuring or blurring the vision.

Therefore, the team does not feel that the white world in front of them is terrible, the scary thing is that the line of sight is not to see how far away, and they do not know when they will fall into a dangerous trap.

As a result, the southbound team cautiously poked out their footsteps, following the steps of the previous person.

Shen Zhu was at the front of the team, because now it was a while before entering the fantasy world, Shen Zhu's physical quality gradually surpassed the limit of the human body, he could see farther and see more clearly, so to speak, even if Shen Zhu did not carry the Divine Tree with him at this time, he could resist the cold of minus one hundred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit.

Of course, the southbound team didn't know Shen Zhu's peculiarities, thinking that he came to the front out of the responsibility of the general manager, so the team members were deeply moved and carefully experienced the deep love of international friends.

At this time, feeling that he had walked a long distance, Shen Zhu stopped and asked the male assistant next to him: "How far are we from Washington now?" ”

"At this rate, we're going to have to walk for five hours." The male assistant took out the instrument and measured the exact location now, they were now southwest of Baltimore City.

Looking back, someone in the group began to falter, looking tired.

"You go and inform them, and tell us to go to the front place and rest." Shen Zhu saw the male assistant going down with the luggage, so he said, "Just give me the luggage in your hand." ”

"Oh." The male assistant was stunned for a moment, and then thanked Shen Zhu and took a brisk step to inform the heads of each group.

After resting for about half an hour, Shen Zhu encouraged the team to continue walking.

Maybe it was Shen Zhu's performance that moved them, and the team didn't feel too tired, they felt that Shen Zhu was more difficult, because at this time, the blizzard was blowing from Washington, and Shen Zhu was at the forefront, which was equivalent to bearing half of the ice and snow for them, and Shen Zhu had to try to find a safe passage.

It's taking his life to pave the way for them.

Besides, what kind of person is Shen Zhu, he is a yellow-skinned Chinese (or Chinese), and what are they, they are Westerners with white skin and dark skin.

Now that I think of the West's misunderstanding and targeting of the Chinese people, the team can't help but blush, and then they can't help but be moved.

Therefore, they would not add extra trouble to Shen Zhu.

For example, a white mother and daughter in the team, even though the child was almost tired and fainted, and she couldn't take the child, she didn't shout to stop or ask for help.

However.

Now Shen Zhu's eyesight is so good, in an occasional turn of the moment, he saw the situation of the mother and daughter, so Shen Zhu directly held the tired little girl in his arms, and then in the complicated eyes of everyone, Shen Zhu turned the thick down jacket upside down, so that the little girl could sleep quietly in the warm nest.

"Alright, let's keep walking." Shen Zhu didn't seem to be able to stand the team's strange gaze with a little tearful light.

“……”

The team followed behind Shen Zhu in silence, but the pace was firmer and more powerful than before.

"Everyone, please pay attention, this place in front is very fragile, let's turn to the right and walk two or three meters before continuing to walk straight."

"Come on, we'll be in Washington soon, and there's already someone waiting for us with a great meal ready!"

"Please note that it is slippery and easy to fall over, so please take care of your children."

"Let's go to the left, there's an ice gap in front of us."

……

On the road from Baltimore City to Washington, Shen Zhu did not just walk in silence like before.

Maybe it's because after getting along for a long time in the disaster, he will have a trace of family affection, and he wants everyone in the team to have a bright future, so he will be even more afraid of seeing some people's eyes change from color to dark, thus extinguishing the fire of life.

So Shen Zhu was yelling at everyone to pay attention to the road conditions.

Although his words could only be transmitted less than a few meters away and were muffled by the wind and snow, it did not hinder his sudden interest.

Washington, D.C., as we know it, is generally the abbreviation of the capital of the United States, and its full name is Washington, D.C.

Although the development of the United States was based on white rule, in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, only 30.5% of the population was white and 59% black.

The reason is simple, because Washington is the political center of the United States, plus the economy is not very colorful.

However, unlike the capital of the country, most of Washington's buildings were built in the twentieth century or before, and the buildings are not high, with a dozen floors high, which can be said to have a strong European architectural style, and the appearance is classical and ornate.

So.

When Shen Zhu led the southbound team to Washington, they were standing between a white sky and earth, and all they saw was wind and snow or wind and snow.

"We've arrived in Washington?"

Shen Zhu was a little surprised and confused, he was not surprised by the walking speed of the team, but wondered if they had taken the wrong path and came to another place.

He had the impression that Washington was the capital of the most awesome country on the planet, and even though most of its buildings had survived for a century or two, it was the twenty-first century, and there should have been at least a few tall buildings here.

Perhaps there are other reasons, such as the fear of being shot dead by a sniper in a tall building.

"Yes, our current location is within Washington."

As he spoke, the male assistant presented the instrument in his hand to Shen Zhu.

"The latitude and longitude of the current location: 38°53.707'N, 77°01.567'W, and the destination is 0.8841 kilometers from the White House."

This is a big problem.

Shen Zhu began to have a headache -

Superman told him that the place where the food was stored was not far from the White House, that the house was one or two stories higher than the White House, and that the color of the outer walls was very conspicuous, black and white, but uneven and beautiful, a bit like the hair of a Dalmatian, piece by piece.

This is because the American government took into account the problem of ice and snow cover, so when storing food, it hurriedly painted the exterior of the house.

But now, I didn't see anything, and I didn't bring special digging tools, only a dozen green military shovels.

Okay, military shovels are military shovels.

If you dig it, the strength of the team is a problem, and time is a problem.

However, if you don't consider the surrounding environment, the snowstorm continues to rage in the United States.

If, halfway through their digging, a sudden snowstorm blows, and the pit they have just dug is buried.

Dumbfounded, isn't this a waste of effort?

At this time, Shen Zhu, who was very distressed and pacing in a circle, suddenly saw that the team's expressions were all pale, and some of their lips were dry and cracked.

"Uncle, when are we going to have a big dinner?" A soft and immature voice came out of his arms.

This is the little girl Shen Zhu held in his arms before, she was only three or four years old, and she woke up hungry not long ago, so Shen Zhu told her that she would be able to eat a big meal soon.

"We've arrived at the place where the big meal is, but the chef hasn't cooked the meal yet, can you wait a little longer?"

"Uncle, do you like fried chicken thighs, I'll give you my favorite fried chicken thighs later." The little girl lay her little face on Shen Zhu's chest, wanting to transfer her love for Shen Zhu from her chest to her thumping heart.

“……”

At this time, Shen Zhu seemed to feel the two hearts gradually approaching, and then beating together.

In a trance, the world seemed to be free of wind and snow, and the two of them were in a warm room, accompanied by a beautiful song, a little chubby little man carefully stood on tiptoe in the chair, and then clumsily handed it to him with fried chicken legs.

After half ringing.

Shen Zhulian returned the down jacket to her mother with the child, took out the military shovel from the duffel bag, and said with a smile: "Sam, do you want to come together, we will each have a shovel." ”
