Chapter 170: Recuperate
Everyone was busy for a long time, and finally moved out all the things that could be used in the rest area.
Zhao Xiaoqian looked at the materials scattered everywhere in the armored car, her head hurt, she couldn't rest at all, she had no choice but to add two little girls to tidy up with her.
And a few bigwigs have long been hiding to the side and spitting out the fog.
"Smack!" A dark blue flame came out of the brand-new lighter taken from the counter, and a cigarette came over, and then slowly lit it, and the flame flashed, and the cigarette quickly burned for a small while, and then a puff of white smoke rose.
"Whew~~!"
It's a wonderful taste.
Shen Chen's old men, each with a soft Chinese hand, that expression is called enjoyment.
These days, they can be tormented by cigarette addiction, although they can occasionally get a few packs of cigarettes on the road, but it is not enough for them at all.
Now, everyone has at least two or three packs on them, and they can naturally smoke vigorously.
The smoke emitted, people who don't know still think that there is a fire somewhere.
Shen Chen spit out a puff of white smoke and said, "Let's rest here for a few days!" I just climbed to the top of the building to take a look. There are no villages around here, and it's very safe, just enough to take advantage of the garage here to change our newly found car into a bit. ”
"I'm for it!" Xue Yang raised his hand in agreement.
"Yes, it's time to take a break, I haven't had time to overhaul the vehicle in the town before, and I always feel that the vehicle is a little wrong with driving these days!"
The bearded man shouted.
Shen Chen looked at the others again, "You guys?" ”
"I'm okay with that!" This is Wang Meng.
"Brother Shen! You decide! "This is Li Jun, he didn't smoke before, but after following Xue Yang for a long time, he was broken.
"Agreed!" This is Sun Bairen.
.....
"Good! Since everyone has no opinion, then it is decided. With so many supplies harvested today, everyone will have a good meal in the evening. ”
"Oh also!"
"Just waiting for your words."
Several girls were busy packing up their things, and Shen Chen and the others were embarrassed to trouble them to make lunch again, so they could only nibble on instant noodles and deal with the water.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not yet set, Shen Chen and Wang Meng took Li Bing to search the rest area around it, and by the way, they cleaned up the zombies they encountered, so that everyone would be much safer when they were resting.
The bearded man and Sun Bairen were in the garage preparing items for modifying the vehicle.
In the evening, everyone gathered together one after another.
Zhao Xiaoqian and the others were already preparing for dinner tonight, and they could smell the aroma of the food from afar.
Zhao Xiaoqian didn't use the supplies when she had more supplies, took out the canned food found from the rest area, stir-fried it aside, and opened a few bags of chicken feet and chicken wings found from the supermarket and put them in the seasoning and braised them.
In this way, under Zhao Xiaoqian's dexterous hands, more than a dozen side dishes were made scattered and scattered.
"Come, come, come! Time to eat! ”
"I'm here, I'm hungry for a long time when I smell this scent."
Several big men who were chatting and farting outside the door heard Zhao Xiaoqian's shout and rushed into the restaurant in an uproar.
"Wow! Braised chicken feet, braised pork, dry pot cabbage, scrambled eggs with chili, seaweed egg soup, ....."
Li Jun drooled while reporting the names of the dishes on the table, he hadn't seen such a rich dish for a long time.
A few bigwigs grabbed their seats and sat down to pick up chopsticks to eat, but they were slapped on the hand by Zhao Xiaoqian.
"The people haven't come yet, wait for the people to come together and then eat."
Shen Chen secretly put down the hand that picked up the chopsticks, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Qian is right! Eat when everyone is together. ”
Pick up the walkie-talkie, "Li Bing!" Li Bing! ”
"Roger! Please will!! ”
"Come down to dinner! Dinner is plentiful today. ”
"Eat first! I'll keep you guarded! ”
"Don't worry! In the afternoon, I have cleaned up all the zombies within a kilometer of the rest area, it will be fine, come down! ”
There was silence on the other side,
"Good! I came down. ”
Shen Chen put away the walkie-talkie, looked around, and found that He Miao was missing.
So he asked Zhao Xiaoqian beside him, "He Miao?" ”
"She's still taking care of Xiaoliang in the car!"
Shen Chen's brows furrowed, it turned out that in the small town, after Shen Chen and the others got down, the only little boy in the convoy, Xiao Liang, the grandson of Mayor Chu, fell into a coma with a high fever.
"How's he doing?"
"It's much more stable, fortunately, He Miao brought antipyretic medicine from the hospital, otherwise Xiaoliang might not be able to survive."
"That's it!"
Originally, Shen Chen thought that he would be able to hand over this hot potato when he arrived at the research institute, but he didn't expect that the world would be unpredictable, and now he can only bring this trouble with him.
"He Miao said that he won't come down to eat, and I have already packed a copy and sent it to the car."
Shen Chen nodded.
It didn't take long for Li Bing's figure to appear in the restaurant, and everyone was there.
Everyone didn't have to look at the food and drool, so they picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate and drank.
"This chicken leg is mine, Xiaojun, don't rob me!"
"Brother Yang, you have a piece in the bowl!"
"What do I like to eat....."
After dinner, everyone lit a bonfire and gathered around, eating snacks and drinking drinks, chatting nonsense.
"It's so impermanent! I thought that in two years I would be able to retire from the army and go home to marry a wife and live a small life, but I didn't expect to meet the end of the world!! ”
Chatting, Xue Yang suddenly led the topic to this.
Looking at the silent crowd, Xue Yang knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"Yes! Ay! Otherwise, my daughter and wife would not have died from this virus! Sun Bairen said with a little choked up.
"Okay, old grandson, everyone is the same, who hasn't lost their family. Look at the point at least we're alive, aren't we? The bearded man comforted.
Shen Chen looked a little depressed and knew that he couldn't talk anymore.
Get up and snap your hands, "Okay, you don't have to think about it, let's find a place to rest, I'll keep vigil at night!" ”
Everyone got up one after another, and went to rest in groups of threes and twos.
"That! Or I'll keep vigil with you! Xue Yang touched his head and was a little embarrassed.
"Okay! Then you can guard it alone! I'm going to rest! ”
"Ah~~"
Without waiting for him to react, Shen Chen had already gone after Zhao Xiaoqian, and Shen Chen could see that her mood was a little low.
"What's wrong?"
Sitting next to Zhao Xiaoqian, she followed her gaze and looked at the sky, and at the same time it was full of dazzling stars.
"Do you think people really turn into stars when they die?" Zhao Xiaoqian looked at the sky and muttered to herself.
"Perhaps! Otherwise, how could there be so many stars in the sky! ”
In fact, Shen Chen knew that this was because there was no pollution in the atmosphere, but for some reason he said such a sentence.
"Brother Shen, I miss my parents!"
Shen Chen turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaoqian, the moonlight sprinkled on her pretty face, which looked extraordinarily beautiful, but the tears on her face destroyed this beauty.
"Hey!"
Shen Chen sighed silently in his heart, he didn't miss his parents, but he knew that the probability of seeing his parents was almost zero.
gently hugged Zhao Xiaoqian into his arms and gently stroked her back.
Zhao Xiaoqian, who was lying in Shen Chen's arms, felt the warmth coming from him, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
