The perfume bus drove for a day and finally arrived at Area C17. The driver told everyone that the tracks of this car were badly worn and all passengers had to transfer here. Captain Wang and the two soldiers got out of the car, and before leaving, they gave Su Yu a pet ticket.
Su Yu took Labrador out of the car, took out the pancakes Su's mother had prepared for her from her backpack, and gave half of them to the dogs at her feet. One person and one dog waited for the next bus at the station. The woman in the same car timidly spoke to her: "Girl... I heard that you are going to C15 to take the underground light train, right?"
Su Yu turned around and smiled politely at her: "Yes."
"Me too," the woman's tone became familiar: "I'm going to see my girl. She is studying in District 3 and hasn't been home for two years."
The woman's tone was gentle: "Your Zombie Research Academy, the one with particularly high scores is located in Central City, but I heard that there are zombies in the academy. Little girl, you should be careful when you go there."
Su Yu smiled and nodded.
The woman continued her worry as an elder: "There are still two days to go to area C15, and there will be no more stops in the middle. Can you bring enough dry food?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the Labrador at Su Yu's feet. Su Yu then realized that having more mouths meant more expenses, and she couldn't always let the dog follow her to eat hard biscuits.
Look at the well-defined muscles of this Labrador. Although the fur is stained with dust, it should be shiny after careful cleaning. It should be well-raised by its owner. Such an excellent combat dog cannot be in her hands. Hungry and thin.
Perhaps because he was too hungry, Labrador ate half of the pancake in a few mouthfuls, then looked up at Su Yu with round eyes.
It seemed that half of the cake was not full, so Su Yu gave it the remaining two cakes in the bag.
"What's your name?" Su Yu opened his mouth and yelled casually: "Xiao Hei? Puppy? Xiao La?"
The Labrador didn't respond to the names and ate the cake without raising his head.
"Xiaowei?" Su Yu blurted out a name.
The black Labrador suddenly raised his head to look at her, barked three times, and even waggled his tail happily.
"So your name is Xiaowei, so I'll call you that first." Su Yu said with a smile.
Xiaowei wagged his tail happily and continued to eat the cake with his head down.
Su Yu bought a pack of ham and meatloaf while waiting for the bus.
When Su Yu returned to the waiting point, several passengers had slowly gathered at the station. The woman who was in the car last time saw Su Yu coming back and waved to her warmly.
"Little girl, come on, your classmates are here." She greeted Su Yu warmly.
classmate?
Su Yu followed the woman's fingers and saw a tall, thin boy standing in the corner of the waiting area. He was carrying a shabby schoolbag, and the clothes on his body seemed to have turned white after being washed countless times. It is not difficult to see that, like Su Yu, he should come from an economically backward urban area. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to area C17 to change trains.
Su Yu led Xiao Wei towards the waiting point. The boy was also attracted by the woman's voice and turned back to Su Yu.
Out of politeness, Su Yu raised his hand and greeted him: "Hello, my name is Su Yu, and I am a freshman at the Zombie Research Academy this year."
"Hello, Zhao Dacheng." The boy replied briefly, his voice sounding pure and refreshing. After saying that, he glanced at Xiaowei at Su Yu's feet and asked curiously: "Are pets allowed in the academy?"
"I don't know," Su Yu smiled helplessly: "But this is a lost combat dog from the academy. I just need to take it into the car."
Zhao Dacheng knelt down and touched Xiao Wei's head tenderly, raised his head and said, "Is it the combat dog of the Demon Hunting Unit?" He opened Xiao Wei's mouth, took a look, and added: "I heard that the First Division of the Demon Hunting Unit is There is a combat dog that can fight zombies alone, so it can’t be him.”
So powerful? Su Yu thought for a moment and thought about the speed at which Xiaowei ran to avoid the bite of the corpse tide. It was indeed unusual.
***
The perfume bus shuttled between the corpses normally. The driver of this bus didn't like to talk, and the three soldiers following the bus didn't talk much either.
Fortunately, they were not completely enclosed in the entire car. As soon as they got on the car, the driver automatically opened the tin windows so that everyone would not fall asleep in the dark.
Perhaps because it was a transfer station, the carriages were all full this time, so Zhao Dacheng and Su Yu naturally sat in a row.
Neither of them are talkative, but they have a long journey and can chat for a few words when there is a topic.
The two-day journey was not a short one, and the perfume bus did not stop as the woman said. There is a relatively convenient bathroom in the car, and you have to bring your own dry food to eat. It's just that sleeping is more uncomfortable. Su Yu will have backache if he sleeps against the back of the chair for a while.
Su Yu couldn't help sighing that this kind of travel method that the people at the bottom had to do was really hard.
After two days of getting along, Su Yu also gradually understood Zhao Dacheng's basic situation.
Zhao Dacheng comes from the C20 district, which is the least populated urban district except the C21 district that is under construction. This urban area was built in a very short period of time, only about twenty years, which makes it about the same age as Zhao Dacheng. Therefore, both defense engineering and economy are the most backward.
Zhao Dacheng said that when he was a child, he often saw zombies breaking through the wall, and even passed by zombies a few times.
Xiaowei listened to the two of them having sex for two days, and he lay down at his feet and slept soundly.
The two of them and one dog shared ham and meat pie, and Su Yu also ate the sweet potato pie brought to him by Zhao Dacheng's mother.
＊＊＊
It was still early morning on January 26th when we arrived at Area C15. It was still dark, and a crescent moon in the sky illuminated the exhausted passengers as they stepped off the perfume bus.
Su Yu glanced at the screen and saw that there were still 4 hours until the college train departed.
She and Zhao Dacheng looked at the road signs and walked toward the entrance of the underground station together.
There were many busy vendors at the entrance of the station, and the steaming heat from all kinds of breakfast made Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng's stomachs growl involuntarily after eating hard dry food for two days.
Zhao Dacheng glanced at the wontons with coriander and oil flowers floating on the stall, and sighed: "I heard that the college will pay for all the students' food and accommodation, and the college's special train will probably also provide food."
He seemed to be talking to Su Yu, but he seemed to be talking to himself.
"There are still four hours left," Su Yu took over: "Xiaowei is also hungry, let's eat wontons first to fill our stomachs."
After she finished speaking, she sat down at the table of the wonton stall and said to Zhao Dacheng with a smile: "My treat."
After finishing speaking, I felt that my words came out very smoothly. Could it be that my financial conditions in the previous life were not bad, so why did I always spend money lavishly? This is not a good habit.
Zhao Dacheng shook his head: "Let's eat together when we get in the car. I also have a piece of sweet potato cake here."
Su Yu couldn't help but pulled Zhao Dacheng to sit down, and the two of them ordered four large bowls of fresh meat wontons.
The boss threw the wontons with large fillings and thin pink meatballs into the boiling pot, and watched the round wontons tumbling inside. After they floated one by one, they were quickly scooped into a bowl, poured with various spice soups, sprinkled with green onions and coriander, and the bowls were brought in front of Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng.
The conditions in the C18 area are backward. Since Su Yu was reborn in the C18 area, except for dry jerky and ham, he has never eaten anything with a meaty taste. Presumably life in the C20 district is no better than in the C18 district, and Zhao Dacheng must have grown up in such a difficult environment.
The two of them and the dog ate dry food for a few days, and they were instantly captured by the hot food.
Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng ate up a large bowl of wontons, not even the wonton soup left. Xiaowei was no exception and ate two whole bowls of wontons.
Su Yu wiped his mouth and raised his head to meet Zhao Dacheng's eyes.
Zhao Dacheng's eyes were bright, as if reflected in the dim light of the morning sun: "Su Yu, we have come out of the backward area."
He looked up at the sky above his head. At the end of the entrance to the passage, a rising sun was gradually rising.
