Chapter 548: Where Don't We Meet in Life
Holding the satellite mobile phone he got from Zhang Guohua, Ling Tao looked at the sky, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.
It has been a week since the battle with Wu Sin and the others, this week, Ling Tao did not go anywhere, but stayed in this place, his weak body has fully recovered, as for the past week, the corpses of Wu Sin and the others have long been dealt with cleanly by nature.
"Brother Tao, what's wrong"? Leng Yingying stood in front of Ling Tao, looked at Ling Tao with worried eyes, and asked with concern, in the past week, not only Ling Tao's physical condition has fully recovered, but Leng Yingying has also fully recovered, and once again she has become that fairy-like girl.
Touching Leng Yingying's little head, Ling Tao smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, it's just that there have been a lot of things happening in the base city during this time, and the situation is worrying."
Through the satellite mobile phone and the base city, Ling Tao learned that the situation in the base city has been completely stabilized during this time, and the turmoil of the Wu family's destruction has been completely eliminated, but other situations are more severe.
First of all, there are more than 10 million people in the base city, because the hidden danger of food shortage is more prominent, after all, so many mouths consume a large amount of food every day, and secondly, the scarcity of water resources is also the top priority.
In order to be fed, countless people left the base city in search of food, but in the dangerous wilderness, most of them never returned.
Other than that, it's supposed to be the season of winter, and it's fine during the day. The sun is shining brightly, and it is evening. The temperature is frighteningly low because of the lack of resources to keep warm from the cold. Every night, people are frozen to death, and the officials of the base city have to spend countless manpower and material resources every day to deal with these things.
Not only these, but with the passage of time, all kinds of hidden dangers have been highlighted, mainly the lack of various resources, no way, after all, in today's environment, productivity is almost paralyzed, and it has become more and more difficult for the base city to maintain the operation of more than 10 million people. No one knows when chaos will erupt all at once.
"Brother Tao, don't worry, Uncle Nangong, they will definitely think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of them", Leng Yingying said softly.
Ling Tao smiled bitterly: "Hopefully, forget it, I'm just a small person, and I can't manage those things."
"Well, eat something, Brother Tao, I roasted meat, and apples, pears, and fruits." Leng Yingying said with a smile.
Putting aside the things he couldn't take care of, eating the food made by Leng Yingying, although there were no condiments, Ling Tao also ate deliciously. Full of the taste of happiness, compared to the countless low-level people in the base city, Ling Tao does not worry about eating and drinking. With the beloved girl by your side, it is already the happiest thing.
"That's right. Yingying, you're almost better, aren't you?" Finish eating. Ling Tao asked suddenly.
"Well, it's been around for a long time."
The meat of the mutant beast originally had the effect of improving physical fitness, and after eating it for a week in a row, and resting well, both of them had recovered to their best condition.
"In that case, let's get out of here today, it's time to leave," Ling Tao said, glancing around.
"Well, I listen to you, but where are we going next? Do you want to go back to Base City"? Leng Yingying nodded and asked.
"Don't go back to Base City for the time being, I'll take you to a place first", Ling Tao said with a smile.
"Where are you going"?
"You'll know when you go......".
Then the two cleaned up, in fact, there was nothing to take, so they left here directly and entered the dense forest again, but this time Ling Tao was not alone, and there was a girl by his side to accompany him.
With the experience of leaving this place last time, Ling Tao only took half a day to take Leng Yingying to the road where he met Commander Bai and them, on one side in the direction of the base city, and on the other hand, in the direction of a place called Daliang City.
Daliang City, once a city-level unit, but now it is completely vacant, from that direction again, around more than two hundred kilometers, after two people to the empty county-level city, you will go to S City, and then, it will be much easier to return to Zhoujia Village.
Yes, the place where Ling Tao is going is Zhoujia Village, before he doesn't want to go back to the base city to face his parents for the time being, the place he wants to go to the most is there, the reason why he doesn't go back to the base city first and then go directly to Zhoujia Village from the other side of the road is because the road back to the base city will be farther, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Ling Tao took Leng Yingying to walk on the way to Daliang City, and found that human bones could be seen on both sides of the road not far away, it should be some hunters or others who ventured out to survive died in the wild, and the flesh and blood were eaten by the ferocious carnivores, leaving only the bones, which looked particularly desolate and terrifying.
The original asphalt road was badly damaged by the growth of plants, and the grass plants on both sides obscured one-third of the road, especially the tall trees growing on both sides, which obscured the road, and it was not easy to find the road if you looked down from above.
It is worth mentioning that Leng Yingying is extremely sensitive to sound, and she can know the mutant creatures lurking in the dark from a long distance, which allows the two to avoid too much trouble along the way.
The little girl, who doesn't exist at all for others, is still playing carefree, running around like crazy, and is extremely happy.
At this time, in addition to a flowing water sword, Ling Tao also had two bamboo tubes hanging from his waist, and when he left the dense forest, he went to visit the place of the monkey group again, and swaggered away the two bamboo barrels of monkey wine in the roar of the monkeys.
"Brother Ling Tao, how long will it take to get to Daliang City? I really want to take a bath", Leng Yingying took Ling Tao's hand, blushing and said, not because of shyness, but because of the monkey wine, although the monkey wine is delicious, her physical fitness is poor, and she is dizzy after drinking a sip of her little head.
"It won't be long before the base city is only more than two hundred kilometers away from Daliang City from the map, but the place where we came to this road is only a few dozen kilometers away from Daliang City, and it will be there soon, and I will find you water to bathe as soon as you arrive," Ling Tao said with a smile.
The two of them stayed in the shelter for so long, and although the water needed by the body could be obtained through fruits, there was no water to take a bath, and it was extremely uncomfortable for both of them not to take a bath for such a long time.
"Well...... Hey? There seems to be a sound of fighting in front, about a kilometer away", Leng Yingying nodded, then looked into the distance and listened carefully.
"Let's go, go and see", Ling Tao nodded and said, and then grabbed Leng Yingying's waist and moved forward quickly, this road is the only way to Daliang City, no matter what, it can't be avoided.
As the distance got closer, Ling Tao also heard the sound of battle, not only the screams of people, but also a buzzing sound and the roar of the living dead mixed in, from which it can be judged that the people in trouble are arranged to fight a kind of monster.
The distance of one kilometer was not far, and soon the two of them approached the battle site, and when they saw the battle scene, Ling Tao and Leng Yingying's faces changed slightly.
More than a dozen people looked desperate, surrounded by a group of mosquitoes about a foot long, there were several mosquitoes, flying as black as a dark cloud, in addition, there were dozens of hideous living dead people besieging them, the situation was extremely dangerous.
Just when the two of them saw the battle scene, two people were pounced on by the living dead, and then bitten and devoured, and one person was surrounded by mosquitoes because he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the others, and was sucked into a human stem in a few seconds.
"Brother Ling Tao, are we going to help them?" Leng Yingying asked.
"Since you've encountered it, let's help it...... Huh"? Ling Tao nodded, and immediately, he saw a few familiar figures among the more than ten people who were killed, and he was even more responsible.
After thinking about it, Ling Tao used the flowing water sword to cut out a few sharp pieces of wood, the wood chips were very small, only an inch long, after cutting them, he used his mind to control them, flew back and forth among the mosquitoes, and tore the fragile mosquitoes into pieces, in the process, Ling Tao also rushed over with Leng Yingying.
The more than a dozen people who were originally desperate had no hope of surviving for a long time, but suddenly found that those mosquitoes, which were fragile but extremely large in number and posed the greatest threat to them, actually fell to the ground in pieces, so they didn't care what the reason was, and concentrated on dealing with the living dead.
Most of them have guns in hand, specializing in hunting the living dead, but they can resist it, although the living dead are hideous, but under the fire of six or seven guns, they are still quickly eliminated, as for the mosquitoes, although there are many of them, but they inexplicably die and fall to the ground, and when most of them are dead, they finally buzz four times and disperse.
More than a dozen people who escaped death looked at each other, completely unexpectedly able to survive such a situation.
"It's a bit weird," said the leader, who sat down on the ground and muttered to himself as he looked at the mess.
And at this time, an exclamation came from the side and said, "Who are you ......?"
Hearing this voice, the first person froze in his heart, turned around to look, and saw Ling Tao and Leng Yingying, especially Ling Tao, after the first person saw him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "Little brother Ling Tao"?
"Brother Liang, I didn't expect to meet you here", Ling Tao looked at the leader and said with a smile, before, he brought Leng Yingying over and joined the battle, but the atmosphere was tense, and no one noticed them.
When Ling Tao left Zhoujia Village for the first time, he met Liang Ping on the highway, after so long, he met them again, still on the highway, life is so wonderful, the people who fell into danger before this line are not the first hunters Liang Ping they met? (To be continued......)
