The two planned to leave the day after tomorrow, first go to the village to deal with Lin Hai's matter, and then go to the Hecheng base in Gui Province for a few days.
Hecheng Base is located northwest of Guangdong Base, about 300 kilometers away.
The Hecheng base is not large in scale, but its main business is trade transfer. Compared with other large bases, access is relatively loose.
He Yuehua was envious when she learned that Chen Yuanyuan was traveling. In the past few years, except for the time she went to the United Community, He Yuehua basically stayed at the base. Even when she went out, she followed Chen Yuanyuan and Shao Mingli to the surrounding areas for hunting.
"I will explore the road first. When Linlin comes back, we will travel together as three women and let the men look after the house." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"It's a deal!" He Yuehua said.
After retiring from the Winter Solstice, Grandma He returned to the villa more frequently. In addition, the Jinxiu Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic was slowly getting on track. With Shao Mingli's recommendation, she hired her friend Xiao Meiling to work in the medical clinic.
He Yuehua also had a good impression of Xiao Meiling. She also took care of Shao Mingli when she was hospitalized. He Yuehua, who was still working in the first hospital at that time, remembered that she was very attentive, so she hired her as the first employee without saying a word.
But now Grandma He has to go to the Chinese medicine clinic to help Xiao Meiling when she is on vacation, and has to go back to Villa No. 38 every two days.
Chen Yuanyuan was worried that Grandma He would not feel safe at home alone, and no one took care of the pets and rabbits at home during the two days she went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
"I'll ask Xiao Yan and his wife Lingxiang to come over. They are still living in the hotel." Shen Yichen said.
"Ah? Aren't they going to a new home?" The couple also lived in Villa No. 38 temporarily before, and they just moved to their new home half a month ago.
"The new area had just been renovated, and pregnant women couldn't stand the smell of paint. I asked them to move back, but they were embarrassed," Shen Yichen explained.
"Then tell them to move back. It doesn't matter to ordinary people. The methane in the new house is so strong that pregnant women and children cannot live there." Chen Yuanyuan remembered that there were many news before her death that excessive methane in new houses could cause leukemia.
"Okay." Shen Yichen said.
That night, Xiao Yan took Cheng Lingxiang to live in the villa No. 38 again. Grandma He and He Yuehua who lived in the villa before also did a lot of dietary therapy for her. Cheng Lingxiang's belly gradually became pregnant, and it looked better than before. Got fatter.
"Sorry to trouble you again." Xiao Yan came with a large bag of fruit.
"Oh, we're the ones troubling you. You can treat yourself as your own family, why are you spending so much money?" Chen Yuanyuan said.
After Chen Yuanyuan told Xiao Yan where the animals' food was stored, she told him not to let Cheng Lingxiang do the heavy work.
"The cats and dogs have been vaccinated, but we just keep the rabbits, chickens and ducks here. I don't know if there are any bacteria that pregnant women cannot touch. Don't let Lingxiang do the work." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Of course, she can raise the baby with peace of mind and leave these matters to me." Xiao Yan patted his heart and promised.
After arranging things at home, I woke up the next day and went out while it was dark.
He Yuehua parked the RV back at the vehicle management office after returning from Lianhe Community.
Later, when Chen Yuanyuan bought the Green Pine Community and paid the renovation fee, her entire account was suddenly depleted. She almost couldn't even pay the phone bill, so she had to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and drove the RV out to reclaim the space.
So for this trip, we have to go outside the base first.
After the two hired a driver to take them outside the base, they got off the car in the wilderness.
"Is that going to come back to pick you up?" The driver looked at the two of them strangely. Although the weather is hot now and they live at night, it is too dangerous for these two young people to come to the woods with bare hands at night.
"No, we have friends who came to pick her up, thank you." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay then, you guys have fun." The driver looked back at the two of them when he left, and the situation was a little awkward for a while.
After the driver drove away, Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen finally couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Did he misunderstand something?" Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Whatever, let's go!" Shen Yichen said.
"Okay!" Chen Yuanyuan said, then took out the RV and started today's trip.
While Shen Yichen was driving, Chen Yuanyuan took a break eating ice cream in the car.
The window at the rear of the car was broken by bullets before, but now it is still sealed with wooden boards. The more Chen Yuanyuan looked at it, the more uncomfortable she became. She couldn't help but think of how great it would be if Liu Feiyang was here and could have repaired it in one go.
I don’t know if Shen Yichen can repair it, I’ll let Shen Yichen take a look at it later.
The village where Lin Hai is imprisoned is about 200 kilometers away from the base, but the further away from the base, the harder the road becomes.
After three years of various natural disasters, the roads are full of potholes without maintenance for a long time. Even if there are better sections, people living nearby will set up roadblocks.
Originally, Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to give her any supplies, but Shen Yichen still asked her to find some ordinary food for travel expenses.
Although I was a little reluctant, I just happened to scatter the compressed biscuits that I had collected in Xiangjia Cave.
However, Chen Yuanyuan was also worried that Xiang Jia would come to her door, so she removed the outer packaging of the biscuits and put them in a large plastic bag for Shen Yichen to watch.
During the break, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask Shen Yichen why he had to pay for their travel.
"They can't be considered roadblocks and robbers. After all, the roads now rely on nearby residents to clean them up voluntarily. If they don't, they will block you for a while at most and they won't hurt anyone." Shen Yichen explained.
Although the weather is scorching hot now, traveling is more convenient than before, so various fleets are everywhere, and many of the toll-paying places along the way are also voluntarily cleaned up by some fleet owners.
When people from their own fleet pass through these points, they will also drop off some supplies, while other fleets will also leave some tolls when they stop for a rest.
It gradually became agreed that some tolls would be collected, and some places near rivers and lakes would also provide car wash services.
Of course, Shen Yichen is not a soft persimmon when he encounters someone who insists on finding trouble. He should be beaten and killed.
"It's still too rare to go out and see too little." Chen Yuanyuan scratched her hair and said.
"From now on, you can go out more often if you want. In this life, everything will be prepared in advance, so it won't be as chaotic as the last life." Shen Yichen said.
"But counting the days, it seems that the beast tide is coming soon, right?" Chen Yuanyuan thought about the mutated creatures in the previous life.
"Probably after next year, but it shouldn't be very serious in this life, so let's make peace with it now." Shen Yichen said.
In the last life, due to the oral antibiotic trap in the United States and the coming of extreme heat, white lung disease spread very quickly, and for a while it was like the zombies were coming.
At that time, corpses were everywhere. In addition to the pollution of the land, many wild animals mutated after eating the virus-carrying corpses.
Fortunately, Gu Zhiming was brought back to China in this life, and the antidote was already researched while he was in Xiangcheng.
Moreover, when the extreme heat comes, the sewage discharge work has been done well, so there is no way to evaporate into mist and induce white lung disease. So far, there has not been a scene as horrific as in the previous world.
