Chapter 15: The Savior
It may be that the top of the mountain selected by Zhang Yu is good, and until the early morning of the next day, there has not been a single insect, which also causes the early warning work done by Zhang Yu to be ineffective...... Of course, this is also what Zhang Yu wants to see.
After waking up, Zhang Yu saw that Belle was still curled up in the quilt and asleep, he didn't wake up the other party, but walked out of the tent lightly, and then started boiling porridge not far from the tent.
The idea of boiling porridge for Belle to drink with her own hands came before she went to bed last night, and it was very strong.
Because the Linglong ring is big enough, and the daily necessities are very cheap, when he left Tianshui Town, Zhang Yu didn't care whether he could use it or not, in short, he exchanged everything he could think of.
Pots and pans, spices, induction cooker, generator (silencing version), ingredient ...... The whole nine yards. As for cooking, although Zhang Yu is not a famous chef, after all, he has worked part-time in the restaurant many times, and he has heard about it for a long time, so there is no problem in cooking homely meals.
"Clear water, rice...... Okay, let yourself get through first...... Well, the next thing is to cut the meat. ”
The porridge that Zhang Yu plans to boil is preserved egg and lean pork porridge, which is usually sold in small restaurants. This porridge is delicious, and the recipe is very simple, normally you can easily learn it as long as you look at the instructions.
……
"Hmm......"
Twenty or thirty minutes later, a sleepy-eyed Belle came out of the tent, rubbed her eyes, and stretched...... Suddenly, her nose sniffed cutely, and she said in a daze, "What a smell, so fragrant." ”
When she found Zhang Yu who was busy not far away, she wondered: "Yu, Brother Yu, what are you doing?" ”
"It's time for you little lazy cat to get up." Zhang Yu's porridge was almost boiled, and he was holding a spoon to taste it at this time, when he saw Zhang Mi coming out, he smiled and said, "Hehe, come and taste my craftsmanship." ”
As soon as Belle heard that there was something delicious, how could she still be sleepy, she ran to Zhang Yu's side with a cigarette, stretched out her little head and looked at the pot with bright eyes, and sighed.
This appearance undoubtedly made Zhang Yu, who had been busy for nearly half an hour, very pleased, and hurriedly filled a large bowl of hot porridge to Belle.
"Scald, hot!"
I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so Belle drank it in one sip, and the hot tears came out, but she couldn't bear to spit it out, so she could only fan the wind with her hands with hazy tears.
"Eat slowly, you bastard." Zhang Yu was so amused that he couldn't cry or laugh.
……
After a hearty breakfast, the two hit the road again, trekking through mountains and rivers, and walking through pure nature.
"The tongue is still numb...... "Belle, like a child who has done something wrong, bows her head and buttons the corners of her clothes.
"It will be fine in a little while." Zhang Yu shook his head, a little speechless.
"But Brother Yu, your cooking skills are really good, and the cooking is really delicious!" Belle suddenly raised her head and said tentatively: "Yu, Brother Yu, what kind of egg porridge will you boil for me in the future, right?" ”
"It's preserved egg and lean porridge."
Zhang Yu corrected, nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem, as long as you want to drink, I can make it for you at any time...... Hehe, this can only be regarded as an appetizer, and I will have a few specialty dishes, and I will have time to try them for you. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Nature is very beautiful, but it will be boring to see too much, and it will be boring after walking for a long time, but having a companion along the way undoubtedly adds a relaxing pleasure to the trip.
After walking for more than an hour according to the map, when Zhang Yu and Belle climbed over a mountain, the mountain range plummeted, and the field of vision instantly became much empty, and a town appeared on the flat ground far below the mountain.
Because of its distance, the boxy town resembles a matchbox nestled in the mountains, and the buildings inside are not clearly visible, let alone the people...... This also caused Zhang Yu and the others to have no way to know if there were still residents in the town.
"That's Sihe Town, right?" Zhang Yu looked at it.
"I guess I think I came here once when I was a kid." Belle looked left and right with some uncertainty for a while, and finally nodded and said, "It won't be wrong, it should be Sihe Town...... We followed the map, so it's unlikely that we made a mistake. ”
"Not good." After looking at it for a while, Zhang Yu's brows gradually furrowed.
Belle wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"Now is the time for dinner, it stands to reason that the people in the town will definitely make a fire to cook......" Zhang Yu paused and continued: "But if you look at Sihe Town, there is no cooking smoke at all now, which is not normal." ”
Belle suddenly realized, and quickly watched carefully...... As Zhang Yu said, at this lunch time, Sihe Town did not even rise at all, but just sat quietly on the open land.
Through this, in fact, it is not difficult to guess that this town should not have escaped the baptism of insects.
"Anyway, this is the place to go, let's go down the mountain first."
"Hmm."
The mountain road is difficult to walk, especially the downhill road, not to mention the steep stand, but also full of thorns, weeds, and crooked trees, which caused the speed of the two to not be fast, and it took more than two hours until the sun was shining high, and they finally climbed down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, there was a wilderness, although there was still no road, but it was quite flat, and Zhang Yu and Belle finally relaxed a lot.
"Roar!"
But within a few minutes of walking, a colorful tiger burst out of a bush and blocked the way of the two.
"Hehe, it's the first time I've met a tiger." The corners of Zhang Yu's mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
In the past two days on the road, there have been many insects, but there have also been a lot of wild beasts in the mountains and forests, such as wild boars, bobcats, and grizzly bears, so Zhang Yu was not too surprised after this tiger came out, but was a little novel.
After all, the combat power of a tiger can't compare to an adult, right?
"I'll make you a tiger meat bowl for dinner."
After Zhang Yu touched Belle's head with a smile, he didn't hesitate and rushed directly towards the tiger.
"Brother Yu, come on!" Belle waved her small fist in cheer.
"Roar!"
There was another tiger roar, and the colorful tiger was obviously enraged by Zhang Yu's advance, kicked its hind limbs, and flew towards Zhang Yu, who had already rushed in front of it, and opened its mouth violently, wanting to bite off Zhang Yu's seemingly fragile neck.
The tiger's attacks are so fast and powerful that they are usually difficult to resist even other beasts, not only ordinary people. But it's a pity that Zhang Yu is not an ordinary person, even if he doesn't turn on the source power now, his reaction is extremely fast, only to see that the tiger's big mouth is about to bite his neck, Zhang Yu's sprinting pace suddenly stopped, and then his left leg bent and his right leg hooked back, his body stiffened, and his right knee hit the tiger's jaw with lightning speed.
Click.
After the sound of bones shattering, this colorful tiger of hundreds of catties was actually lifted up by Zhang Yu's knee like this, and it was three or four meters high.
"Okay, it's amazing......" Belle was stunned to see this exaggerated scene.
The image is indeed terrifying, like a lightweight amateur fighter knocking out a heavyweight professional fighter with one punch, and the shock is unparalleled.
However, Zhang Yu, as a party, has no special feelings...... After all, after dealing with insects, ordinary beasts are more gentle. And when he attacked just now, he deliberately contained some of his strength, because once he used all his strength, I was afraid that this knee would explode the tiger's head.
In front of Belle, try not to do such a bloody thing.
Just when the tiger's huge body was thrown at the highest point, Zhang Yu squatted and jumped, and came to the side of the tiger in a vertical manner, and then grabbed the soft flesh of the tiger's neck with five fingers, pulled it hard, and threw the tiger to the ground.
Rumble.
The smoke and dust were everywhere, and the colorful tiger was slumped on the ground, motionless.
Sprint, knock off, pull to the ground...... This series of actions is actually very fast, it only took less than three or four seconds, and it was completed like a stream, when Zhang Yu took the Linglong ring and walked back to Belle, Belle's eyes were still wide, with a dumbfounded expression.
"Hungry, your mouth is so wide open." Zhang Yu laughed.
"No, no......" Belle came back to her senses and blushed a little: "That's it, I just think the Son of Heaven is too handsome!" ”
Zhang Yu shook his head and said helplessly: "Brother Yu for a while, Lord Tianzi for a while...... If someone who doesn't know hears it, they think you're talking about two people. ”
"Hey, it's a person, my Son of Heaven is called Brother Yu!"
……
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally came to Sihe Town, and the dead silence of Sihe Town made Zhang Yu determine his previous thoughts.
This town has indeed not been spared by the plague.
This also dispelled the idea of the two of them staying, and they passed directly through this dilapidated town and continued towards their destination, Lucheng. However, it is worth mentioning that although Sihe Town is ruined and empty, it looks very desolate, but there is an altar core in the center of the town.
Because everything that should be prepared was ready, Zhang Yu didn't exchange anything.
"If there is the protection of the altar core, why is there no one in this town? Could it be a migration? Walking out of Sihe Town, Zhang Yu finally raised his doubts.
Belle's eyes were a little gloomy, and she said softly: "No, although the Demon Suppression Stone can provide a protective cover, this function will only be turned on after the Son of Heaven has used the Demon Suppression Stone...... Our Tianshui Town is lucky, when the insect plague broke out and the Son of Heaven came en masse for the first time, it happened that a Son of Heaven descended near Tianshui Town, which gave us hope to live...... But I heard my father say that there are actually no magic stones in the few towns near our Tianshui Town, and even if there are, if they don't encounter the arrival of the Son of Heaven, they will definitely not be able to escape the result of being destroyed. Bugs are terrible for our inhabitants......"
"No wonder."
Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at the quiet town not far away, and he sighed softly...... Yes, with the horror of insects, what can ordinary people do to resist it?
If there are firearms, ordinary people can resist them in the face of a small number of insects, but the problem is that the firearm control of the Thirteen Domains is not weaker than that of the earth, so ordinary people have no way to obtain firearms at all.
This also leads to the fact that when facing the swarm, you can only rely on the weak flesh of humans to contend with it...... This kind of confrontation is, to put it bluntly, suicide.
Could it be that the so-called apostles are really the saviors who were sent to the Thirteen Domains? I don't know why, such a thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Yu's mind.
