Rong Xianxian tried again and again to introduce natural energy into her body, but all ended in failure. Without a clue, Rong Xianxian had to give up temporarily.
She decided to refine the elixir first and then think of a solution.
Rong Xianxian was quite talented in alchemy and had strong mental power. During the process of refining the elixir, she controlled the weight and heat very accurately. From the golden golden fruit, she finally refined three Tuomai Pills.
Jinguangguo has the effects of strengthening the body and nourishing the body, warming and nourishing the internal organs, and repairing hidden diseases. The Tuomai Pills made from it as the main medicine have the effect of widening the meridians during advancement in addition to these effects.
Along the way, while resting, Immortal Rong Xian was refining elixirs and making talismans, Tomorrow Lei was opening a furnace to refine weapons, and the others were practicing martial arts, guarding the camp, and occasionally collecting herbs and drying dried meat.
Because the returning team that Wang Qirui pulled up was not strong enough, even if it followed the large army, it still suffered heavy losses. More than half of the team members were lost. The surviving team members did not agree to leave the team and return home, so they followed the large army to the Wuling Safety Zone. There it stopped.
Wang Qirui lost all his wealth. After arriving in Wuling, they were already destitute and could not afford three meals a day. Che Miaomiao somehow found Rong Xianxian and the others' place to stay and said she was willing to go to the capital with them. After being rejected, she unexpectedly He asked Rong Xianxian, "You are the only woman in your team. Do you know what others will think of you? Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation? If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the children too?"
Che Miaomiao's accusing eyes and her "I'm thinking of you" expression made Rong Xianxian couldn't help but laugh out loud. A woman who relies on her face to make a living would still use her reputation to talk about things. She seemed to be in trouble. Like water, how do you survive in this environment?
Now is a world where strength speaks for itself. If you have enough strength, you will have a reputation. If you don't have strength, what's the use of having a good reputation?
The large force only repaired for one night in the Wuling Safety Zone before setting off again.
On the way, Wang Lin said that he seemed to have seen a figure in the civilian team. Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie searched several times and even used monitoring headphones, but nothing was found. I don’t know if Wang Lin was wrong or if they were Very well hidden.
After passing Wuling, they soon arrived at Xia Kai's hometown. When Rong Xianxian and the others accompanied Xia Kai to find the small county where his home was located, the small county was full of ruins, as if they had been baptized by artillery fire. The flat asphalt road has turned into ravines, and the trees planted on the roadside for urban greening have grown extremely messy and wild.
Xia Kai found the house where his parents lived. The community where his home was located was relatively well preserved. There was a big hole in the door, spider webs hung on the walls, a thick layer of dust on the ground, and the tables, chairs and benches were messy. Falling to the ground, Jiang Jie found some dried blood on the dust-covered ground.
Except for the blood stain, Xia Kai searched inside and outside the house and found no clues about his parents.
They found Xia Kai's sister's house again. Although the door lock was intact, the building was still empty.
In fact, the entire small county town is an empty city that looks abandoned long ago.
"They may have been rescued by the rescue team. Don't worry, let's go to the safe area to look for them." Jiang Jie comforted Xia Kai.
"If they were rescued by the rescue team, why wouldn't they leave me a message?" Xia Kai was in a very low mood.
Because of the blood stains on the floor and the big hole in the door, he felt somewhat ominous. After all, in the early days of the apocalypse, many people died at the mouth of monsters without waiting for rescue. His parents were both in their sixties. The reaction speed is slow, and the habit of getting up early to rush to the morning market on weekdays may not be lucky enough to escape the early turmoil.
The search for relatives failed, but they were separated from the main force again. Xia Kai happened to be very familiar with this area and had a ready-made living map in hand. Rong Xianxian and the others basically searched the abandoned towns or villages along the way.
There is no large safe zone near this area, monsters are relatively dense, and no expedition team has set foot here yet.
Every farmer has a field, and many of them have the habit of storing grain. When they left, they only took away some of the supplies, and there were many things that they could not take away. Rong Xianxian and the others gained a lot.
Rong Xianxian collected a lot of rice flour, grains and oils, unhulled wheat grains, seeds of fruits and vegetables, rusty and dusty pots and pans, or new or old bedding and quilts. She did not collect these things for Use it yourself or sell it for money, just to be a good Samaritan in the near future.
In the cold and long winter of her previous life, if it weren't for the help of kind-hearted people who had never shown up, mother and son would have froze to death and starved to death. Rong Xianxian didn't know who to turn to to repay her kindness, so she simply did some good deeds to fulfill her wish. .
I found a large sporting goods store in the county. I have skis, ski clothes, windproof jackets, goggles, roller skates, insulated sleeping bags, all kinds of sportswear, sneakers, and the foggy space is at hand. I no longer have to worry about not being able to fit it in. .
When it snowed heavily, I took Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo out for skiing.
In an ordinary farmyard, Rong Xianxian found a large vat of pickled sauerkraut and pickled beans. The diameter of the vat was more than two meters, and it took two people to hug it. The sauerkraut and the tank were moved to the foggy space. Whether it is stewed meat or sauerkraut fish, it is a good appetizer for meals.
Rong Xianxian and the others also found a full oil tanker in the courtyard of a small gas station, with less than half of the gasoline stored in the bag. When they were in Xitang, Rong Xianxian wanted to buy more weapons. I almost emptied all the money I could use. I originally planned to exchange for some gasoline, but gave up because I bought a large number of weapons. I didn't expect to find an oil tanker here. This kind of situation is very rare. Generally speaking, When the army or rescue teams are rescuing people, they will clear out all local gas stations, large granaries, supermarkets and other places.
The people waiting for rescue will also search for supplies and energy while waiting.
They found a relatively safe place nearby to spend the night. The next day, Rong Xianxian and the others stopped collecting supplies and began to chase the large army because the weather started to get colder.
It's still hot during the day, but the temperature drops significantly at night.
Rong Xianxian had the official safety route map in hand, and with all his strength, he caught up with the large army in just one day. When they found the area where the civilian team camped, it was already dark. The burning fire was bright and dazzling. The soldiers holding torches patrolling the camp were full of energy. Rong Xianxian and the others found an edge and settled down.
