It was almost nine o'clock when Jiang Ying woke up. She opened the blackout curtains beside the car window and found that it was still dark outside. Jiang Ying rubbed her eyes and took another look at her survival bracelet: Capital time 09: 03.
? ? ? It couldn't be that the bracelet was broken. Jiang Ying took out the clock and mechanical watch from the space and adjusted the time respectively. They all showed 9.03, which was correct! Jiang Ying couldn't believe it, so she wrapped herself in clothes and opened the car door.
The surroundings were foggy, and the sky was still dark, but it was no longer as dark as before going to bed last night. Under the cover of the fog, the night seemed to be diluted.
You can vaguely see a black car parked about one or two meters away from the car door.
Jiang Ying closed the car door and returned to the RV. Logically speaking, the sun should have risen at around nine o'clock, but...
"Dang Dang Dang"
Jiang Ying opened the car door again, and outside the door was the man from yesterday's young couple: "Ms. Jiang, the bracelet shows that it is already past nine o'clock, but it is not yet bright, so should we set off now? "
Jiang Ying pondered for a moment: "It's not safe to drive in such a dark sky. Let's wait a little longer. Eleven o'clock at the latest. If it's not bright yet... come to me and let's discuss it together."
The man nodded, turned around and went back to inform the middle-aged woman behind. The woman had also woken up a long time ago, but she never dared to disturb Jiang Ying. Miss Jiang worked really hard yesterday.
Later, I saw Miss Jiang opening the car door and was about to get out. The car door closed again, and the man in the car in front of her just came out, and she waited beside the car.
The woman moved her body for a while and then got into the car again. She took out the dry biscuits that had been prepared in advance from under the back seat. She drank the mineral water that she had covered in the quilt at night. After taking a few bites, she handed the biscuits to her. little boy.
The boy hides in bed and looks at his mother
"Mom, I can't eat so much, you have to drive, please eat more."
The woman looked at her slender son in front of her, her eyes filled with tears. The next second she held the boy in her arms: "My child, you have suffered. If you can't bear it any longer, the official has issued a notice. When we arrive at the new survival base, That’s great, we Yangyang can eat the hamburgers we want and drink the pure milk we like.”
The boy blinked: "Mom, can I really eat it?"
The woman looked at her son's innocent face and couldn't bear it: "I can do it, I promise you, mom."
Even if you can't eat, your mother will find a way to cook it for you. According to the survival bracelet, these natural disasters are global. Even if you arrive at a new base and a new living environment, how much better can your life be?
The woman knows it all in her heart, but her son is still so young and there is hope and expectation after all, and the woman cannot bear to break such a small wish for her son.
The boy patted the quilt: "Mom, sit in, it's cold outside, if you don't need to get up, we'll take a nap."
The woman waved her hand: "Go to sleep, mother will watch over you."
The boy's clear big eyes were still staring stubbornly at the mother in front of him. In the end, the woman couldn't resist her son and had to sit on the bed.
This sleeping place was the same as last night. The woman took a borrowed screwdriver and took apart part of the back seat. After flattening it, it occupied the space in the trunk, and then she pieced together a temporary place to sleep.
This car is their only means of transportation at the moment, and they are probably going to stay there for a long time. It's okay for me to feel a little wronged, but my son is still young, so I can't stay curled up all the time. The seats are flattened to make it more spacious. I and my son are squeezed in. It's enough to sleep even if it's crowded.
It's just that I still have to find a way to get an alcohol stove. It's not a problem to let my son eat dry food and cold water all the time. The temperature outside is still dropping. It can only be said that the car has blocked some wind and cold. It's not that cold but still. Not much better.
In order to save fuel at night, I only turned on the heater in the car for a short while before going to bed, and turned it off immediately after my son fell asleep.
The woman looked at her son's immature face and was stunned.
…
"Achen, what did Miss Jiang say?"
"She said that if it's not bright yet at eleven o'clock, let us go over and discuss it together."
They thought of pushing down the seats yesterday. Unlike the car behind them, their car is a seven-seater SUV. After being pushed down, it can be directly connected to the seats in the back!
Although the two of them still couldn't straighten their legs when sleeping, it was much better than curling up on the seats. The two of them had secretly stored supplies in the car when they planned to escape from the village.
It can be said that except for a sleeping area for two people and the main driver, the rest of the car is filled with supplies.
The end of the world came suddenly, but fortunately, they lived in the village and had some food reserves. The consumption of nearly a year in the past six months has reduced the food reserves a lot. In addition to the prepared dry food, the two of them now only have two bags of flour and one bag of flour left. Bags of rice, some instant noodles, etc.
When the cockroaches took over the village, it happened to be the transition to extreme cold, and the temperature dropped a lot.
The two made some grain into steamed buns and pancakes. The low temperature was conducive to preservation. They put a full box in the car for the best time to escape.
The rest were the clothes and quilts of the two of them. They had no control over what happened next, but the extremely cold weather they were facing was the current extremely cold weather. There was only so much space in the car, so they could only grab what they needed most.
There were three beds of quilts. The two of them put on the thickest clothes they could wear, wearing short sleeves and autumn clothes on the inside, and then put on their coats one by one, so that they didn't need to pack much extra clothes.
The rest are two small pots, knives at home, a few tools that can be used as weapons, and a large plastic bucket of gasoline at the rear of the car. This is when the man took advantage of the mutated cockroach to rest and went to the village. It was taken secretly from the owner's car.
The space in the entire car was packed to the brim, and the young woman had to be thankful at this time. Fortunately, she and Ah Chen had prepared early, otherwise they would not have been able to prepare so well in just half an hour.
The temperature outside was too low, so the two of them only ate half a steamed bun each and drank some cold water. No one knew how long these miserable days lasted, and the two of them no longer dared to eat at their normal meals.
…
Jiang Ying has been observing the sky outside the window, but found that the sky has only gotten a little brighter in the past hour, which is better than nothing. At least he knows that it will still be bright.
There was a ready-made kitchen in the car. It was not yet dawn anyway, so Jiang Ying did not try to get food from the space conveniently. Instead, he took out a few packs of instant noodles and cooked a meal of instant noodles with Yuan Bao to cope with it.
I have to say, there is nothing better than eating food with hot soup when the temperature is low.
Jiang Ying knew the food on the two cars outside, but the experience during this period of time had hardened Jiang Ying's heart. Being able to take them out of the village was already Jiang Ying's goodwill towards them. As for the rest, , it’s not something that I should take care of now.
