Chapter 115: Smooth to Mengzi
Whether it rains or not, we don't want to delay any longer, the departure time is set for three days later, and during these three days, we are making all kinds of preparations, the vacuum food and canned food of the institute are ready-made, and Onkyo has prepared a lot for us, as well as gasoline.
General Pi kept his promise, provided us with guns and a lot of ammunition, and then said, "Good luck."
Tang Xiao mysteriously carried a strange thing for us to bring, he called it a universal barbecue grill, the stove is made of iron sheets, the top is like a small roof with a detachable chimney, and below is a round lid with a long handle, pull it open, inside is a baking rack surrounded by iron wire, there are dense and sparse, food can be placed in the shelf, and the bottom of the stove is a small stove door, which is opened to burn wood.
"Xiaoyou, you are too talented!" We fiddled with the barbecue grills and were amazed.
Tang Xiao hehe Zhile again, "In the past, when we were running outside, it was very troublesome to build a rack if we wanted to eat some hot food, but then I remembered that there was an old grandfather near my house in the past, and he used this stove to roast corn and potatoes for us to eat, and sometimes he also baked eggs, of course, if you don't master the heat well, the eggs are easy to burst." ”
He pulled out the bottom shelves and said, "I deliberately made the lower ones wider, you can open the lid of the canned meat and bake it directly on it, and the top ones are narrow, you can bake potatoes, sweet potatoes, sausages, dry food, ......."
He pointed to the waist of the barbecue, "There are two buckles here, you can open and remove the upper half, and then put the pot on the lower half to cook and eat directly." ”
"Xiaoyou, you can apply for Guinness World Records, right? How about a quick and convenient barbecue grill for survival in the last days? Zhu Hong couldn't help but be happy.
Tang Xiao touched his head again, "For the convenience of you chopping firewood, I also prepared two sharp axes for you, and I have already helped you chop some firewood, which is just big enough to stuff into the stove." ”
"Xiaoyou, do you really want to go together?" Zhu Hong patted Tang Xiaoyou's shoulder.
Tang Xiao was happy again, "I'm used to acting with everyone, why don't you want to go." ”
"Then ask Amy for a leave, as long as your leave is down, my brother will take you there." Zhu Hong instigated Tang Xiao and said again.
"Why are you asking me for leave? If you want to go, you can go together, Xiao and I can't be separated. Amy suddenly appeared behind us and said crisply.
"Amy, this mission may be dangerous, given the population of Guangdong Province, it must be a huge corpse nest now." I reminded Amy.
"Sister Duo, just because of the danger, Xiao and I feel that your team is too small, and a few more people are powerful, let's go." Amy walked up to Tang Xiaoyou's side and said softly.
"Go, go, it's still lively when there are more people! Xiao, you can help us bake something and eat it, you invented that thing. "Luohan, this lazy thing!
In this way, seven people became nine......
Three cars, nine people, finally it was time to go.
After saying goodbye to our partners and families one by one, we left Chengdu from the road to the town, got on the highway and drove towards Kunming.
We intend to investigate in the order of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, and the first stop is Kunming.
For the first meal, we pulled the car to the side of the road, Tang Xiao happily moved the barbecue grill out of the car, stuffed firewood under the stove and lit the fire, and then in the future, he specially asked Onkyo to instruct the catering department to put the steamed steamed buns on the upper layer and roast them lightly, and the canned beef was opened and stuffed to the lower shelf to roast, and within a few minutes, the aroma of the noodles and the aroma of the meat floated out, Tang Xiao put on the heat-proof thick gloves that he had picked up in the mall at some time, and gave us the steamed buns that were roasted out of the brown and crispy shell, and waited for a while, and the canned beef was also brought out after being roasted. No one dares to pick it up, and the canned tin box will definitely be able to burn off the skin!
Everyone held a long-handled stainless steel spoon and dug up the steaming canned beef and ate the fragrant steamed buns, praising Tang Xiao and rape flowers, and making Tang Xiao happy again, he didn't eat a few bites and worked for everyone.
Thunderstorm took a bottle of mineral water and joked to Tang Xiao again, "Brother, help my brother bake this." ”
Tang Xiao glanced at the thunderstorm again, "If you want to eat plasticizer, how good is it to gnaw on the bottle directly." ”
After eating and drinking, everyone waited for the stove to cool down and continued to move forward.
From Chengdu to Kunming, if there is no accident along the way, nine to ten hours is enough, but after the end of the world, due to the frequent abandonment of cars and zombies, the distance is often stretched several times.
A small number of abandoned cars, we can still get out of the car and move them to the side of the road, and if we encounter a lot, we have to detour, which is very delayed.
Scattered zombies, can go around as much as possible, can not go around the simply crash fly, if the number is a little more, we have to get out of the car to kill them to clear the road, and when we encounter a large group of corpses, we put on protective clothing, to prevent them from making dumplings, if you can detour around the road, you really can't get around, you can only slow down the car, from the corpse group slowly squeezed through.
After a day of tossing and turning, we only walked half the way in the evening, and we could not find a house to spend the night, so we had to park three cars on the side of the road, and everyone put on protective clothing and slept in the car, and the two of us changed the guard.
Fortunately, with Tang Xiaoyou's great work barbecue grill, we can eat much easier, no matter what kind of food, we can change the pattern of roasting, eat hot food in the stomach comfortably, and sleep soundly at night.
Two days later, we finally arrived at the boundary of Kunming.
"How are you leaving?" Thunderstorm asked us.
"Don't enter Kunming City, go in the direction of Mengzi, and first go to find the base that Soap said." Zhu Hong replied.
"Didn't General Pi say that he was looking for the largest garrison base in Yunnan, will there be one in Kunming?" I asked.
"Let's not work hard for his task, even if there is a base in Kunming City, the nine of us will die if we enter the city. Slip around, find a base in a small place, go in and learn about it, and go back to the business. Zhu Hong said with a smile.
"The key is that the real task of coming to Yunnan is to find your uncle." After Luo Han finished speaking, he started the car, and the group sped away along the highway on the edge of Kunming in the direction of Mengzi.
Mengzi is only four hours away from Kunming, and it is not a sealed highway, I thought that this road would be more difficult to walk, but I found that the abandoned car was less than the previous highway, but it was all the way to the destination.
Revisiting the old place, I was a little trance back to a few years ago, when I came to live at my uncle's house with my parents, and sat side by side with a local guy on the bus from Kunming to Mengzi, an old man and a young man chatted happily, although it is said that many people in this society are wary of liars, but my father always maintains a natural warm-heartedness, and everyone is a good comrade, and my mother and I can only follow his temperament.
In the past, Mengzi was a small livable city with few cars and few people, and the total population around it was only more than 400,000, which was not so dangerous compared to the big cities with tens of millions of people.
As soon as I entered Mengzi, I was familiar with the direction and asked everyone to go straight towards the only street in Mengzi, which was divided into three sections, Renmin East Road, Renmin Middle Road and Renmin West Road, as long as you drive to Yinhe Road, and then turn a few corners towards the small street on the right, you can find the dumpling restaurant that my uncle once opened.
Uncle's dumpling restaurant is a small concave building, the first floor into the spacious main entrance is the dining hall for guests to dine, behind the canteen is the small building with a large patio, was transformed into a back stove by the uncle, the rooms on both sides are a small private room, the uncle will be the patio and the four-story rooftop and high place covered with a rain greenhouse, the second floor is directly above the first floor is two large private rooms, two sides are several bedrooms and bathrooms, the third floor of the room in addition to two warehouses, other rooms are also bedrooms, there is a big bathing room, the fourth floor is the rooftop, The solar panels are all on the rooftop, and the openings in the patios are sealed by the walls of other people's homes in the backyard, which are also four stories high, and most of the buildings here are like this, forming natural spaces that are all self-contained.
When I lived at my uncle's house, I would go to the rooftop every morning to see if the strawberries were ripe, as long as I saw that there was red, I immediately ate them, no need to clean, it was a real natural non-toxic and non-pesticide small strawberry!
If my uncle can close the main entrance on the first floor in time for the incident, then this small building is undoubtedly a good place to defend himself.
Thinking that there are not many customers in the dumpling restaurant, I have great expectations that my uncle and aunt will survive, my uncle is a very calm and witty person, and his ability to deal with crises is also strong, and the most important thing is that he is a very tall and strong man, and he is just in his fifties, just in the prime of life, as long as he is not bitten, the possibility of survival is very high.
When I entered Yinhe Road, I first saw that I had patronized, the only KFC in Mengzi, the restaurant that was guarding my uncle, and the rice noodle shops that I loved, I would never want to eat this ubiquitous fast food, but one evening I was hungry playing on the tablet upstairs at my uncle's house, and I went downstairs to find that the dumpling restaurant was very busy, and it was not good to trouble cooking for my family, so I walked to the rice noodle shop near Nanhu Park to eat a bowl of mutton rice noodles, and then found that all the rice noodle shops were not open, and asked, Said that it will be closed at three o'clock in the afternoon, if you want to eat tomorrow early, that night I will be hungry, I can't find an open rice noodle shop on the street, while scolding the people here is too idle and reluctantly ran to KFC to fill my stomach, at that time I also secretly thought that this kind of chain store is reliable, open 24 hours, when hungry can come.
The red and white sign of KFC is still eye-catching, but the old man's face has been abrupt, and the glass door has been smashed, so he can't see the situation in the store clearly, and it must be a mess.
The road just now is really clean, except for the occasional abandoned car need to avoid the detour, I didn't see a few zombies, and I didn't see a group of corpses on a large scale, sure enough, it is the same as before the end of the world, on the big wide road before the end of the world, often half a day will not drive a few cars, pedestrians can swing sideways in the middle of the road, and there will never be a traffic jam, which is also one of the main reasons why my uncle is optimistic about settling here, living here, it is so comfortable.
