Volume 2 The Age of the Safari Chapter 42 Back on the Road
"Where?"
Xu Tianpeng pointed to the top of his head.
"On the rooftop? You don't say it sooner. It was already a little dark outside, but Li Shanshan still couldn't wait to run out and go up from the stairwell to the rooftop.
The rooftop was arranged like a small vegetable garden. Although no one has taken care of it for more than a month, it has become overgrown with weeds, and some vegetables are a little wilted due to lack of water, but you can still see the vegetable fields growing greens, tomatoes, eggplants, green peppers, beans and cucumbers, which is like a paradise. Some ripe tomatoes have fallen to the ground and are starting to rot, giving off an enticing aroma of ripe fruit.
"Oh my God! I hate you! Li Shanshan pounced on the tomatoes, picked a big and red one and began to nibble on it. Is this your vegetable patch? ”
"Not before, but now it is." Xu Tianpeng picked a cucumber and nibbled on it. "My neighbors are a retired old couple, and they made it, and it is said that it cost thousands of dollars just to get the dirt to the roof. I usually bring some fresh vegetables to my house. In the past, Xiao Qiumu loved to play here. ”
Li Shanshan had already finished eating what she was holding, picked another one, wiped it hastily on her clothes, and continued to eat. When she heard Xu Tianpeng mention her daughter, she knew that he was worried again, and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say for a while, and she felt a little powerless in any words. Xu Tianpeng didn't seem to need to be comforted, but just looked into the distance in a daze.
In the distance, a flash began to begin to shine again in a window.
"Look there!" Li Shanshan pointed in that direction.
"Like last time, it's the light of a flashlight, and it looks like there are other survivors there." Xu Tianpeng said.
"Let's go and see it tomorrow, maybe ......," Li Shanshan suggested.
"They won't be in that direction." Xu Tianpeng turned around and went downstairs.
Li Shanshan choked on her words, thinking that even if it was someone else, it would be good to be able to help each other in this world. But Xu Tianpeng didn't go, and Li Shanshan obviously couldn't go either. She is not a saint who walks several kilometers to save others.
Early the next morning, Xu Tianpeng went out again. Li Shanshan was so beautiful that she slept lazily, and then went to forage on the rooftop, another boring day. During this period, Xu Tianpeng came back several times and unloaded all kinds of food from his backpack. Li Shanshan looked through it, most of them were some dry food that could be preserved, instant noodles, biscuits and the like. At night, Xu Tianpeng was still busy, emptying the original things in the study, and then began to classify and store these materials.
Li Shanshan originally thought that Xu Tianpeng would leave after taking a look at the community, but she didn't expect him to plan to settle down for a long time. Oh no, depending on the situation, he plans to live until the end of the day, and the spring flowers are blooming. No, the corner of the study is full of salt, and it is stacked neatly, and it is estimated that it is enough to pickle an elephant.
"What are you doing with so much salt, can this thing be eaten as food or can it fight zombies? And how long are you going to stay here with so many things? Li Shanshan finally couldn't hold back. Although it is a very safe choice to live here, she feels that it is too boring, not to mention that the smile on Xu Tianpeng's face has become less and less recently, and the whole person looks a little nervous.
"I'm not going to stay here forever, but I don't think they need to venture out to find food if they come back one day." Xu Tianpeng muttered.
"Do you have a bag in your head!" Li Shanshan was so excited that her saliva squirted, completely ignoring her ladylike image: "The wife and children are gone, you don't go out to look for them, what kind of hamster are you playing here." Did you get your brain eaten by zombies? ”
Xu Tianpeng was silent.
"Do you think they're no longer here?" Li Shanshan stared at Xu Tianpeng's face and asked suddenly.
The muscles on Xu Tianpeng's face twitched twice, but he still didn't say anything, and turned around and entered his room. Li Shanshan stayed in the study for a while, sighed, took a bag of chocolates from the cabinet, and went back to the room.
Xu Tianpeng stayed in the room for two nights and a day, until the sun rose for the second time, and then went into the kitchen to cook instant noodles.
"Did you figure it out?" Standing downstairs, the sun was warm on the two of them. They each carried a hiking bag on their backs, and there were things hanging everywhere on their bodies, spears behind their backs, rifles on their shoulders, pistols at their waists, and daggers on straps around their legs.
"Actually, you're right, you have to face it." Xu Tianpeng threw the bag into the back seat and sat in the cab.
Li Shanshan climbed into the passenger seat and asked, "Then where do we start?" ”
"Let's start with the last place they appeared, the Jiangning Gymnasium. Do you really want to come with me? It's safer to be with Yuan Hang and them. Xu Tianpeng said.
"If I wanted to stay there, I wouldn't have come out, I really don't like the feeling of being cooped up in one place." Li Shanshan said: "Besides, if you hang outside, you also need someone to collect the body, right?" ”
"Can't you say something auspicious?"
"That's okay, I hope you can find Su Li and Xiao Qiumu as soon as possible."
Xu Tianpeng took one last look at the window on the eighteenth floor, stepped on the accelerator, and walked away.
"What is your goal for today?" Cheng Yong stared at the road in front of him and asked Huzi, who was sitting in the passenger seat and was looking through a booklet.
"Yuan Hang said that he would go to the pharmacy or hospital to get some medicine in case of emergency." Huzi stared at the dense text on the booklet, feeling a little big.
Cheng Yong was a little disapproving: "If you don't have anything to eat, you will go to get medicine, Yuan Hang can't tell the priorities." And he understands the medicine, I think it is better to wait for Dr. Xu to come back, and he will be more professional. ”
Huzi raised the booklet in his hand and said, "Xu Tianpeng left a list before leaving, saying that if he said that it was okay, he would prepare all the medicines on this list, and there would be basically no big problem." Oh yes, Yuan Hang said in the morning that there is no need to worry too much about eating, in another month, the rice next to the free shelter will be ripe, and it will be enough when the time comes. ”
