The red light quickly dimmed, disappearing together with the last glimmer of light in the sky.
Faintly, Li Fugui understood what it was.
"Old man, what did you see?" Jin Tianliang shouted loudly in the crowd.
"It's nothing, let's go." Li Fugui replied, climbed down from the roof and got into the car, "It has nothing to do with us."
Fortunately, the direction of the firelight was not on their way forward. Maybe there would be some unlucky guy who was unlucky enough to run into it. Who knows? But no matter what, he has the scroll. He needs to practice first and have enough vitality to survive in this world.
Sitting back in the car, Li Fugui began to cultivate his vitality desperately. Maybe it was time to turn around. Not only did he not encounter any dangers along the way, he also joined a team of survivors with a bus driver on the way. In this way, everyone divided the work and took turns to drive the bus 24 hours a day. You can reach Yandu City in less than three days.
After driving for a day and night, the old country bus broke down. Luo Changhe and his people were making repairs, and everyone took advantage of this time to take a rest.
Li Fugui leaned against a big rock alone. The vitality in his body finally broke through two units. The injury on his left leg also recovered a lot under the countless impacts. Although it was still as dry as bacon, he could still walk. I already have some consciousness.
Chu tu tu tu~
Li Fugui thought it was a green beetle that appeared, and immediately huddled behind a stone and carefully took out his pistol, in case the insect dominating the sky appeared from somewhere.
But what Li Fugui didn't expect was that they were not green beetles, but two helicopters flying from the direction of Yandu City.
Everyone who noticed the incoming helicopter and was repairing the bus stopped what they were doing. Even those who were so hungry that they had no strength picked up the things around them and waved and shouted with all their strength, hoping to attract the attention of the people on the plane. to myself.
Jin Tianliang even climbed to the roof of the bus, took out a flare gun that he had kept for who knows how long, and fired it into the sky. The shining light bullet instantly lit up the sky.
But the helicopter simply ignored them, passing over everyone's heads as the light bombs were illuminated and extinguished, and flew straight away into the distance.
The crowd, who had just been in a state of excitement, immediately started to curse again when they saw this. Jin Tianliang was so angry that he dropped the signal gun in his hand and smashed it to pieces.
"Damn these bitches, when I get to Yandu City, I must report this matter to my superiors, and I must sue them to death. It's unreasonable for grandma to pay her back. This is a matter of principle! This is abandoning the safety of the people. !" Jin Tianliang cursed and climbed off the bus, looking extremely funny.
Xu Yinchuan was neither happy nor angry. He just said calmly: "They should have their own tasks and hurry up to repair the car."
Xu Yinchuan is right. Helicopters are actually more conspicuous than cars now, and they will attract the attention of insects as soon as they appear. At this time, the military risked their lives by sending helicopters. It was definitely not to search for survivors. There must be a mission they had to go on, and it was impossible to turn around and return for their group of survivors.
Seeing that the Green Beetle was not following the helicopter, Li Fugui put away his pistol and came out from behind the stone. When he came out, he found Zhou Tianhua standing beside the stone with a newly made crutch in his hand, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Frowning, Li Fugui asked, "Zhou Tianhua? What are you doing here?"
"Ah!" Hearing Li Fugui's voice, Zhou Tianhua came to his senses and hurriedly handed out the crutch in his hand, "My mother and uncle and aunt made this, let me give it to you."
Li Fugui took the crutches, but saw that Zhou Tianhua had no intention of leaving. He hesitated and seemed to want to say something more.
"I have said this once, if you want to use this crutch in exchange for more food, then you should just take the crutch back." Li Fugui said and handed the crutch back in his hand. Thinking that Zhou Tianhua might have let his mother know about this, he used the act of giving him a cane to ask for some food from him.
"No, no." Zhou Tianhua waved his hands desperately to explain, pushed the crutch back, and then carefully took out something wrapped in a thick strip of cloth from his arms and handed it to Li Fugui.
Li Fugui took the package in confusion: "What is this?"
Zhou Tianhua moved forward and said mysteriously: "It's food!"
Hearing this, Li Fugui was shocked, and for some reason his mouth suddenly felt dry.
"Where did you get food?" Li Fugui asked, his voice a little hoarse.
"I made a burger with the biscuits you gave me!" Zhou Tianhua said with a proud smile.
"Then... aren't you hungry?" Li Fugui asked again.
"I'm not hungry! I just drank three bowls of vegetable soup, and my stomach is full!" Zhou Tianhua said, patting his stomach, "Grandpa, you were injured because of us. If you eat the burgers I made, the wound will not hurt so much." Got it!"
After a pause, Zhou Tianhua's eyes were full of expectation: "Mom said that when we get to the city, there will be many uncles who will give us lots of delicious food, such as apples, rice, steamed buns, and roasted chicken. My favorite thing to eat is fried chicken. , fried to a crunchy crunch, my father also likes to eat it, and sometimes he will bring us a lot of fried chicken and Coke when he comes home from work."
Zhou Tianhua couldn't stop swallowing as he spoke, and his stomach growled.
"You..." Li Fugui wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be out of control at the moment, and he couldn't pronounce a few complete syllables. He had to stretch out the rag package in his hand.
"No, no, no, grandpa, you can eat it, I have this!" Zhou Tianhua said, taking out a piece of black charcoal from his pocket and taking a few bites. The charcoal residue dyed his little face dark, "Grandpa, please hurry up. Eat it, otherwise the burger won’t taste good if it’s been left for a long time. Mom called me, so I’m leaving first!”
Zhou Tianhua stuffed the charcoal back into his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth, smiled, and jumped away again.
Li Fugui froze there for a long time, until the cold wind that had been silent for a long time began to ripple again and gently ruffled his hair.
Opening the thick rag, there were neatly arranged biscuits inside. The outer corners of the biscuits had been broken by external force, and the broken biscuit foam stuck to the fluff of the rag. In the middle of each biscuit, there are a few thin pieces of vegetable leaves that have been freeze-dried.
Picking up two biscuits, Li Fugui took a bite. The biscuits mixed with chewed vegetable leaves tumbled in his soft mouth, which tasted a bit irritating. The salivary glands secrete saliva as hard as they can, gradually softening the vegetable leaves that have been chewed into small dregs, and finally swallowing them as hard as possible.
Unappetizing.
Li Fugui let out a long breath. He didn't know what adjectives to use to describe his mood at the moment.
For a moment, he wanted to cry, but his dry eyes could no longer shed any more tears. His tears had already dried up.
Yandu City is definitely not as beautiful as Zhou Tianhua's mother described. If hell is used to describe the current situation, then for ordinary people, Yandu City is just a hell with better conditions and environment.
With no background and no identity, ordinary people could not even enter the city. They could only stay outside the city and crowd together with refugees who came from nowhere.
The government will not give away any food, and the food reserves in Yandu City are also limited. The food is reserved for people with some dignity and background in the city. Even those at the lowest level in the city may not be able to get a bowl of thin food. Rice porridge.
fruit? fried chicken? Steamed bun? Maybe there are people in Yandu City who can afford to eat, but it will never be their group, only those in high positions.
Li Fugui understood very well, but he was unwilling or unable to bear to expose Zhou Tianhua's naive and stupid fantasy.
He has no light anymore, and there is no need to extinguish other people's light. Maybe one day the cruelty of reality will eventually crush those beautiful paradises, but fortunately, that evil person is not him.
Putting away the biscuits and putting them in his arms, Li Fugui walked towards the team.
The broken down rural bus had been repaired, and Luo Changhe was calling the scattered people over. They had to hurry up and set off.
