Chapter 230: Returning home
On the way back, we encountered several waves of mutant fish, including sharks, tuna, and even mutant jellyfish and octopuses who wanted a piece of the pie.
However, it was all solved by Gu Yu, and when he was about to arrive at the port, he left a few strips to go ashore, and the place where we landed was Jinshi, which is the closest port to Malay in the south.
Huang Rong is from here to go to Lanka, Gu Yu found a map, he knows some of the words of the surrounding neighboring countries, the south borders Ning City, the western province of China, in recent years, there are often unpopular tourists to travel there.
Seeing Gu Yu's fingertips marking the route home on the map, I suddenly felt that the future was bleak, and I longed to turn into a fish and swim back from the sea.
Although this foreign map does not mark the specific cities of our country, as long as we follow the coastline, we will enter the most densely populated area in the country, the coastal area!
Gu Yu put away the map, Mi Jiale and Huang Rong rested on the side, Mi Jiale was very interested in Master Huang's profession, pestering him to ask him non-stop.
Gu Yu glanced at them and made sure that their attention was not on our side, before he said, "We have two choices. ”
I watched him and didn't speak, meaning to let him continue to say I listened, but he only paused a little and said, "One is to cross the southern border into the western provinces, and cross half the country to detour back; The second is to ask Huang Rong to help and continue to take the sea route, crossing the South China Sea and entering the East China Sea. ”
"The difference between the two is whether you want to see Tumu or not." Gu Yu finally added.
I don't care about this kind of thing, I'm dragging my family now, Tumu and Guo Wei are competing interests, and I don't want to get involved in their struggle.
"Let......'s go," I was about to answer, when Mi Jiale suddenly called me, and I saw him and remembered that he must go back to the safe zone, but his companions were gone, and it was difficult for him, a healing ability, to make it through the coastal area alive.
"Sang Rou, when are we leaving? They don't have much food for the field team, so I have to go back and report it as soon as possible. Mi Jiale didn't seem to hear Gu Yu's words, and he took it for granted that we would still walk together on the next road.
"I'm afraid we're going to split up, you know that Guo Yupeng was killed by me, although the killer of Guo Wei's faction was swallowed by a giant python for some reason, but if he knows that I am not dead, this matter will not be over, I will go back to my hometown to avoid it." What I'm saying is the truth, no matter how secretly Guo Wei and Tumu fight, they are their own people on the surface, and the safety zone where I killed Guo Yupeng is estimated to be known to everyone.
Mi Jiale was stunned, and then nodded, "That's right, Tumu wants to protect you, but the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, then okay, let's meet in the mountains and rivers, don't pass by!" ”
As soon as he said that, I saw him turn around to leave, and just wanted to ask him how to pass through the hard-hit coastal area alone, when I saw that Huang Rong also offered us a hand, and said, "Take care, there will be a period later." ’
I hurriedly stopped him: "Alas? What are you leaving, we haven't solved the matter of the one in the demon pill yet. ”
Huang Rong casually threw over a wooden card, Gu Yu caught it steadily, Huang Rong shook the one in his hand, the two wooden cards were exactly the same, both were unpretentious rectangular wooden boards, and a strange symbol was drawn with a red pen on them.
"Is this a phone?" I asked.
"It's not that advanced, draw a circle or X with blood on the back, it represents success and failure, if you succeed in finding her enemy, draw a circle, and I will take her to you, if her enemy is dead, or can't find it, draw an X, and the rest has nothing to do with you."
"Okay, let's make an appointment to meet in Chunjiang City, Mi Jiale knows that."
Mi Jiale nodded hurriedly, saying that he knew that it had taken a few hours to get there from the safe zone, and Huang Rong had already turned around, but suddenly turned back to me and Gu Yu and said, "I want to meet that person named Tumu and inquire about the Red Night, her ability is above my master, and I want to learn more powerful spells from her." ”
"Good luck." Gu Yu said, "If you see Red Night, say hello to me." ”
Huang Rong hummed, and then walked back to the beach with Mi Jiale, they had to walk along the coastline, Huang Rong's beast talisman was gone, they had to walk back to the safe area.
Although Huang Rong knows spells, but with Mi Jiale, who has no attack ability, they can only avoid all dangerous areas, the city is not enterable, and there are relatively few zombies on the beach, except for the tourist area, of course, we can only wish them good luck.
Finally, there are two people left, Gu Yu and me, the city in a foreign country is at my feet, I let Gu Yu rest first, using the teleportation egg will also consume physical strength and spirit, we still have a long way to go, he must recuperate.
The climate in the south was hot, we found a hotel, the situation in the gold market was quite bad, the city could tell at a glance that it had been baptized by artillery fire, because of the high temperature, the corpses decomposed quickly, and it was impossible to tell from the bones on the street that they were slaughtered alive or zombies.
Fortunately, the hotel we found was a basement, the ground building was blown up by a third, there were relatively clean towels in the cabinet of the hotel, floating on the sea for so many days, the body was soaked in the seawater, from the departure to the present, I haven't taken a bath, I didn't feel anything when there was something, and now I only feel uncomfortable.
Although the city is ruined, you can still find useful things if you look carefully, and some of the buildings are only partially mutilated, while other parts are still intact.
I found a change of clothes in a clothing store's warehouse, and then we left the city and took turns bathing in a river in the wilderness.
The advantage of summer is that you can take a shower at any time, and you don't need to find buildings and fuel to protect you from the cold, but the premise is that you can escape or fight when you encounter mutant beasts.
We can do both, so we didn't rush to the next city, but rested by the river for a night, and the benefits of being a zombie were also reflected, and the mosquitoes ignored me, lying in the summer grass, or by the river, there were no mosquitoes to disturb, and the romantic atmosphere was much stronger.
It's a pity that the content of my chat with Gu Yu has nothing to do with love, it is all my doubts about what happened during this time, and I want to hear his opinion.
Gu Yu carefully analyzed for me, such as Tumu's invitation to cooperate, I really can't think of anything to cooperate with if he doesn't use me as an experiment, it won't be for me to assassinate Guo Wei, Guo Wei has no capable people to protect him for the time being, I don't believe that Tumu hasn't planted a nail next to Guo Wei for so many years, and I don't need to be assassinated at all.
Gu Yu thinks that Tumu's purpose is me, and the experiment is just caught, but maybe Tumu wants me to cooperate with one of his researches, and this matter cannot be forced.
"Something to do with psychic abilities? That's right, the body can be frozen, he can't control the spirit, how bold do you say he is, if I hadn't had an accident at that time, I would have beaten him into an idiot, and he would dare to talk to me alone. ”
Gu Yu put his arm around my shoulder, I pillowed my chin in his shoulder socket, no matter how chaotic and dark the world was, the starry sky was still bright, and the starlight was reflected in his ancient eyes, and there was a little helplessness in his eyes at this moment.
"Don't think of him as so weak, he still has the ability to protect himself."
"Hmph~" I pretended to snort disdainfully, in fact, I thought it was true in my heart, Tumu could climb to this position today, he must not lack scheming and means, I have never heard anyone mention his ability, obviously he is still a hidden person.
"What's his ability? Isn't it amazing? ”
"He didn't use it, no one knew." Gu Yu shook his head and said.
I said in my heart that I guessed it, and then I thought of Bai Junyang, and felt a little worried: "Bai Junyang has not heard from him for so long, has he really joined the new alliance, then why don't you tell Teacher Xiang, Teacher Xiang is too pitiful." ”
What Tumu told me about it, I told Gu Yu when I was at sea, and Gu Yu was as surprised when he heard that the real relationship between Tumu and Tuya was as unexpected as I was.
But I didn't express any opinion on Bai Junyang's joining the New Human Alliance, and now that I mentioned it again, Gu Yucai said with a little emotion: "He must have his reasons, Bai Junyang is a person who carries a heavier burden in his heart than he said, and I think the experiences he told you are not all." ”
I looked up in surprise, "You mean, what he went through before he was born again?" ”
Gu Yu nodded, "Maybe he thinks that he is something he wants to carry and has nothing to do with others, so he didn't tell you, and he didn't want Teacher Xiang to know." ”
I was silent for a while, then hugged Gu Yu's arm tightly and murmured, "This kind of selflessness is not a kind of selfishness. ”
I feel sad for Xiang Yiyi, who is struggling to support and wait for Bai Junyang, and I am glad that my love path with Gu Yu can be smooth sailing in this chaotic world.
In the middle of the night, a few mutant beasts wanted to sneak up on us, but they were killed by Gu Yu, these mutant beasts were very fat, like a mutant of a cow.
If Mi Jiale was here, he would definitely be smiling from ear to ear, how difficult it is to maintain a chubby figure in the last days when food is scarce, and those who survive know that thanks to his healing ability, it would be difficult to maintain his figure otherwise.
He loves to eat, and when he thought that he only cut a few pieces of fish meat for him when he was about to part, he felt that Gu Yu and I were too wasteful of resources, he ate less often, and I didn't eat at all.
In the wilderness, there was no salt or container, so they had to regretfully abandon the carcass of the beast and let it be eaten by other animals.
Departing early the next morning, we used teleportation to travel all the way and found that most of the cities in the southern country, especially the major ones, had been subjected to devastating artillery fire, so the number of zombies here was very low.
Of course, there were even fewer living people, and we hadn't seen a single living person in the few places where we had settled.
Maybe there are still survivors in the deep mountains, the southern mountains are densely forested, and there are thousands of people hiding inside as if they were playing, and they can't be found outside at all.
We didn't encounter any danger in the south, we went out of the country and entered the territory of our country's Yun Province, and as soon as we entered the old forest of the motherland, we were besieged by a group of mutant tigers.
Gu Yu killed three, and the rest of the tigers saw that the enemy was too fierce, so they turned their heads and ran, they gave up the delicious beef in the south before, and this time I can't let go of the tiger bones.
It is said that tiger bones are good, and tigers are kept in captivity in zoos and reserves before the end of the world, not to mention tiger bones, and even a tiger hair can't be plucked.
Now there are three big mutant tigers with strong and sturdy bodies, and I specially confirmed them with Gu Yu, "Honey, this is a tiger, right?" ”
"Yes." Gu Yu kicked a dead tiger on the forehead and said.
"Hey, once I thought it was a tiger, but it turned out to be a cat, it's a tiger, I'm going to dig up some tiger bones and go back to my parents to make wine."
"Well, I'll sew you a skirt with a tiger skin." Gu Yu's eyes were smiling, clearly teasing me.
"What kind of tiger skin skirt to wear, I won't go to the west again!" I was about to pounce on him and hug him, but I heard someone in the woods shouting, 'Catch them.'"
