Two tall off-road vehicles drove into a familiar neighborhood. The trunks could no longer be closed, the roofs were stacked high, and the back seats, which were invisible to outsiders, were also full of stuff.
This trip can be said to be a fruitful one.
Along the way, Rong Xianxian seemed to be able to feel the eager eyes of people hidden in different buildings.
This time the car drove directly into the underground garage and drove to the area near their landing point. The bloody smell of fresh meat on the car attracted the monsters in the darkness who were ready to move. After repelling several waves of monster attacks, they soon arrived. destination.
Rong Xianxian happily looked at the flaming red fruits in the four large glass bottles around her. The glass bottles not only preserved the freshness, but also isolated the sweet and alluring taste of the red fruits.
Rong Xianxian checked the transmission talisman in her hand, and there was nothing abnormal. She sent Wang Lin to go back to the villa to check the doors, windows, and rooms to make sure there were no abnormalities. She asked Xiao Luo and Xuanxuan to return to the villa, and then they Start transporting things to the villa.
Rong Xianxian, Cui Lie, and Xia Kai were on guard against the dark monster that was about to move, while Jiang Jie and Wang Qirui were passing things up from below.
When they moved all the harvest to the villa, they found that it took about an hour.
Looking at the various wild vegetables, various medicinal materials, and fresh meat on the floor, all the fatigue in my body turned into deep joy.
Rong Xianxian secretly lamented that there is strength in numbers. In her previous life, she spent the difficult winter by silently collecting wild vegetables and fruits that were dried and stored on the way to escape.
In winter, the white snow falls for about a whole month, and the dried vegetables, preserved fruits, and dried fruits in the safety zone are sold at astonishing prices.
The day the weather changed was April 21st, and now more than a month has passed, and it has almost entered June.
The temperature on the balcony was scorching hot from noon to six or seven in the afternoon, and it only took two or three days to dry all the endless wild vegetables.
From the first floor to the third floor, although the light on the first floor balcony is worse, the temperature is not too low. Most of the wild vegetables are moved to the balcony to dry, and the bright poisonous mushrooms are put into a deep basket and placed separately. Go to the roof to dry to avoid being seen by the children.
Clean the collected medicinal materials and put them into categories one by one. Those that need to be sun-dried, those that need to be air-dried need to be shade-dried, and those that need to be dried.
On the way back, Rong Xianxian tested the poison of this wild mushroom on a monster, and a small mushroom poisoned a two-meter-tall monster.
Judging from the monster's reaction, these mushrooms have a certain hallucinogenic effect.
Just the usage and dosage still need to be explored.
After cleaning up the things on the ground, it was already dinner time. Rong Xianxian turned on two stoves and a barbecue together. One stove cooked wild vegetable dumpling soup, and the other stove steamed wild vegetable dumplings. Large chunks of marinated meat are braised.
As usual, we chatted while eating.
"We also went out of the city today? What do you think?" Rong Xianxian was the first to speak.
"The road outside is not right. We were obviously walking along the road leading to Xichang Expressway. Why didn't we see the expressway when we left the city?" Xia Kai asked thoughtfully.
"Could we have gone the wrong way?" Wang Qirui asked.
"This road was the smoothest and most open before, and it was straight through. It should not be wrong. Besides, there are so many of us, and one person may remember it wrong. Could it be that all of us have remembered it wrong?" Wang Lin shook his head.
"Do you recognize the flowers, grass, and trees I saw outside the city today? Why do I feel like I have never seen many plants before?" Jiang Jie asked in confusion.
"What's so strange about this? Haven't you seen the monsters outside? Could these strange things also land with the monsters?" Wang Qirui guessed.
"It's just a monster. Some trees are as thick as my waist. Its roots are so developed. If it fell from the sky, could it be the root that it took root on its own? It should be that the original plant was affected by the spiritual energy. , has it mutated?" Xia Kai retorted.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Rong Xianxian unconsciously thought of the ancient earth theory mentioned by Shang Yuege.
Spiritual energy is revived, the ancient earth is resurrected, and the land where humans live is expanding.
Is this true?
"Looking at the road conditions today, cars can't pass. If you want to go north, you have to find another way." Rong Xianxian frowned and said.
"Oh my god, this is a big trouble. If the original road cannot be walked, do we still need to re-open the mountain and pave the road?" Wang Lin seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened.
Wang Lin, Jiang Jie and others are all veterans and have done a lot of disaster relief in the army.
What does it mean to know that there is no road?
"No wonder Sister Rong said that no news came back from the advance troops sent by the army? If we have to open a road before we can pass, this period of time will indeed not be long." Wang Qirui glanced at Rong Xianxian and said.
"Those bones we saw today, could it be..." Wang Lin said as if he had thought of something.
"No, those bones should be the civilian team that wanted to return to Binyang." Rong Xianxian interrupted Wang Lin's guess. There were many people in the army. Even if someone was killed by the monster, their comrades would not let their bones go. Left there.
"You only saw the bones, but not the car?" Xia Kai asked doubtfully.
"The car must have been driven away by the surviving people. I don't know if it went back to the base or took another way." Rong Xianxian guessed.
"Then let's go out of the city? Let's go to the safe zone to find out the news." Jiang Jie asked.
Several people looked at Rong Xianxian.
"I have to go out more often for this food." Rong Xianxian said with a smile. If she can't eat green leafy vegetables for a long time, she will definitely be deficient in vitamins. She feels that if she doesn't eat some vegetables, she will get oral ulcers.
The fragrant and tender wild vegetable dumplings, paired with the garlic mahjong vinegar sauce, are sour, spicy and fragrant, making people not want to stop after taking one bite.
"Then go out tomorrow? Or explore in the direction today?" Jiang Jie just swallowed a mouthful of soup and put down the bowl and said.
"These things can be found everywhere. There is no trace of a road in the area we explored today. I think we should still look for the road that the army took." Wang Lin expressed his opinion.
"The troops who left the city have not returned. Although the road they took may not be safe, cars should be able to pass. The army should open a road towards the capital. If they leave the city, they can find the road that the army took. However, we are just inquiring now. Inquiring, you can't spend the night in the wild, you must come back before dark." Rong Xianxian agreed with Wang Lin's point of view.
"Will there be any new news in the safe zone?" Jiang Jie asked. After all, the news Rong Xianxian got was a few days ago.
If new news comes, they can save some effort and avoid unnecessary mistakes.
