Chapter 111: Return
"Not really." He Ying was a little skeptical.
"It stands to reason that it's unlikely, but with such a big granary, Qingbei won't let go easily."
"But didn't you say that there would be insects and critters in the granary?"
"I don't know, maybe they have a special method."
"Why don't I go and investigate?"
He Ying probably remembered the old days, and was a little eager to try.
Chen Du also wanted to know the situation inside, but still hesitated: "The terrain in front is too open and flat, you may be discovered before you reach the door." ”
He Ying's eyes flickered: "You can go through the grass next to you." ”
"It's too dangerous."
"It should be fine, I used to walk on the grass often, in fact, it is more dangerous to encounter toads and frogs, others like earthworms and the like, although they look terrifying, they will not attack people."
"Frog ......" Lu Shanshan's scalp was numb when she thought about it, they had only been active near the teaching building before, but they had never encountered a frog.
"It's okay, as long as you don't move, it can't see you, I once spent more than half an hour with a toad, and in the end it went first."
He Ying changed her taciturn at home, and after she went out, she became cheerful, talking about her past experience, she was afraid, but she also felt a little nostalgic.
"Okay."
Chen Du also decided to take a risk, after all, if he succeeded, he could save a lot of things, and as for the side of No. 1 Middle School, it didn't matter if he went to investigate later.
"Let's go with the two of us."
Chen Du said to Wei Dalei again: "Old Wei, you and Lu Shanshan and Xue Xu stay here and hide, He Ying and I should come back soon." ”
"I'll help you." Wei Dalei said that he was about to pick up the giant mountain axe placed on the car.
His shield and weapons are not easy to carry with him, so he will put them on a flatbed when he goes out.
"No, we're just going to explore the way, if there's no one, I'll ask you to push the car over together, you keep an eye on that direction at all times, and I'll gesture to you when the time comes."
"Oh."
Wei Dalei didn't have any ideas, since Chen Du said so, he would do so.
Chen Du didn't talk much nonsense, and soon followed He Ying, pressing his body and slowly walking to the edge of the cement road.
The difference in height between the road surface and the greenery is about 5 centimeters.
At this height, you won't be fine jumping down, not to mention the soft soil underneath.
Two small people, one short, jumped down at the same time.
He Ying's posture is elegant, and her feet land lightly.
And Chen Duan didn't hold an umbrella this time, so this height didn't work at all.
After he landed, the whole person squatted to reduce the buffer, and supported the ground with both hands, although it was not as relaxed and comfortable as He Ying, but it was also clean and neat.
This is the first time since the disaster that Chen Du has walked in this kind of place, and he is extra vigilant about his surroundings.
The dirt is not as difficult to walk as imagined, but any small grass around it is like a towering tree.
Walking in this environment, people have the feeling of entering an ancient jungle, mysterious and terrifying, as if a dinosaur will emerge around at any time.
"Come with me."
He Ying greeted and seemed familiar with the road.
The two of them stuck to the side of the concrete road and slowly approached the house.
He Ying didn't brag, she was indeed experienced in this area, and she took Chen Du to shuttle through the complex terrain, and her speed did not slow down much.
Along the way, I encountered a lot of various small moths and insects, but as He Ying said, they were basically not aggressive, and their size was not up to the level of threatening humans.
Only when I was about to arrive, I met three or five ants.
In order to show her sophistication, He Ying went up and used the short sword made for her by Chen Duan to solve them one by one.
Although the short sword is small, it is very sharp, and it is not much of a problem to cut off the head of an ant.
The two moved on.
"What if there are a lot of people in there and we get caught?" He Ying had nothing to say.
"Then surrender and beg for mercy." Chen Duan said without any psychological obstacles.
"I thought you'd say fight to the death."
"It's good to be alive, why fight to the death."
"What if they have to kill us?"
"Well, then I'll run away first and turn back to avenge you."
“……”
The two of them talked, and they reached the vicinity of the storage room without any problems.
Then I climbed up the corner, and as soon as I went up, I was next to the crack in the door.
"I'll go over first, and if it's okay, I'll call you later."
In terms of speed, Chen Duan was indeed not as good as He Ying, so he was not reckless.
He Ying leaned on the wall, and slipped in through the crack in the door.
Chen Du estimated the time, about 1 minute or so, and saw He Ying come out generously and beckoned to this side.
He walked up and asked, "No one in there?" ”
"No, I'll just say you think too much."
"That's good."
"Do you want to call the big thunder and them over?"
"Wait and see."
Although it was roughly confirmed, the two of them were still very careful, after all, the whole room was very large, and things were piled up messily, so they really wanted to hide a few people, and they would not be the same for ten days of playing hide and seek.
Walking into this familiar and unfamiliar room, Chen Du almost didn't recognize it.
There was a box of mineral water next to the door, but at this time there were only empty bottles left, and it was obvious that the people who came here to carry things had already drunk all the water.
In addition, the most conspicuous thing is the mountain of rice on the ground.
On the second level of the shelves, two 10-kilogram bags of rice were cut open, and only a small half bag was left and hung on it.
Obviously, the people of Qingbei have removed all the rice on the ground, and they are even playing the idea of putting things on it.
Chen Du frowned and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" He Ying asked.
"You haven't been here, so I don't know, there were many bags of rice piled up on the floor in this room, but now all of them have been removed."
"How many?"
"It should be five bags, about 100 pounds."
"So much?" He Ying was speechless.
"When we first came, we only got a dozen or so pills, which is a drop in the ocean in comparison." Chen Du sighed.
He Ying suddenly sniffled and said, "Have you smelled anything?" ”
Maybe it's because the boy's sense of smell is naturally poor, Chen Du smelled it for a long time before he noticed it.
"It's a weird smell."
"What's wrong, it's the scent of jasmine."
"I don't know what jasmine tastes like......"
"That's what it tastes like."
"Okay."
Chen Du didn't want to dwell on this problem, and continued: "I don't know what Qingbei wants so much rice for, 100 catties of rice, even if there are so many of them, it is enough to eat for a lifetime." ”
"The main thing is, do they just rely on the way they just did, over and over again? How long will it take......"
He Ying was just halfway through his words.
Chen Dui's face suddenly changed.
"Let's go!"
"Huh?"
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a clangling sound at the door.
The person who was clearly a blue monument came back with a metal plate in tow.
