Shen Jie and Tao Ying were old, and too much intensity might be counterproductive, so she arranged for them to do some simple stretching and then focused on arm strength training.
Shen Qing was not merciless at all towards the three young people.
Running around Guo Yuancun, climbing mountains, training...
Even Shen Zhian, who usually works out, couldn't stand it.
"Devil! It's so devilish."
Zhao Xi also gritted his teeth and persisted.
Shen Qing was panting, wiped his sweat and said, "This is just the first day. Once your body adapts to the current intensity, the difficulty of training will have to be increased."
Shen Zhian blushed from exhaustion and let out a long sigh.
After nearly a week of torture, several people have gone from running to gasping for air to now being able to do so with ease.
Not only has the speed become faster, but the strength of the arms has also increased a lot.
During this week, Shen Qing's favorable impression of Zhao Xi also increased.
Although she looks weak, she is actually very capable of enduring hardships.
No matter how hard the training process was, I never heard her say she wanted to give up.
After their physical fitness caught up, Shen Qing started to familiarize several people with the weapons and explained the assembly and usage of the guns.
When Shen Qing took out a gun and handed it to them, their hands were shaking.
No one thought that they would have the opportunity to use this thing in this life.
"It's so cool! Isn't this my childhood dream?" Shen Zhian was so excited that he looked around with the gun.
Shen Qing held down his hand and said seriously: "Don't point the gun at yourself, and don't point it at your own people at will. Be careful of misfire."
Shen Zhian immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "I was wrong and I promise to change it."
Shen Qing gave several people silent pistols, which was very convenient for practice in the deserted Guo Yuan Village.
"Although we have a lot of time to practice, in line with the principle of not wasting resources, the bullets each person can be allocated are limited, so you must aim! Take every practice seriously."
Although she also stocked up on a lot of bullets, in order to enhance everyone's awareness of the crisis, only ten rounds were distributed to each person during practice.
During practice, several people's palms were filled with sweat, for fear of wasting every opportunity.
After a few days, although the accuracy is not as good as Shen Qing's, at least he can hit the target accurately.
On this day, while several people were sleeping, another earthquake occurred in Guoyuancun.
Although it was not as serious as the previous earthquake, Shen Qing decided not to waste time and prepared to return to S City.
"We don't have a car now, and we don't know how long it will take to get there." As the departure was approaching, Zhao Xi felt a little worried.
"Who said we don't have a car?"
Zhao Xi was stunned, "Do we have a car? I don't think I have seen one."
Shen Qing said calmly: "Because I was worried about the impact of high temperature, I parked the car in a hidden place. I will drive over in a while."
Hearing what Shen Qing said, Zhao Xi's doubts became more serious.
It has been almost half a month since she came to Shen's house.
A lot of things happened in the past half month that were puzzling to her.
One is the source of food for the Shen family.
Shen Qing always takes out food from the basement. Canned food is understandable, but can the basement really store fresh meat?
Secondly, Shen Qing actually had guns in his hand, more than one...
She knew that the Shen family must have some secrets.
But since they didn't want to say anything, Zhao Xi didn't intend to investigate in detail.
Sometimes, asking the question is not always a good thing.
The Shen family was extremely kind to her, so naturally she was blind when she should be blind and deaf-mute when she should be.
"Zhao Xi, can you help my mother apply some medicine first, and I'll drive the car over now?" Shen Qing deliberately wanted to keep her here.
Zhao Xi understood what she meant and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Qing jogged for a while until she reached the Shen family's blind spot and then took the car out of the space.
The car is now full of gas. If you add more gas halfway, you can drive to city S smoothly.
She sat in the car for a while, looking at the time, and then drove the car to the door of her house.
"Let's go."
Shen Jie and Shen Zhian put the important furniture on the outside into the trunk and then got in the car.
It happened to be a five-seater. Zhao Xi, who suffered from motion sickness, sat in the passenger seat, and Shen Qing sat in the back seat with her parents.
"Sit tight, let's set off."
The car started and drove away from Guo Yuancun.
Before arriving at the county seat, no one was seen alive along the way.
There are mountains on both sides, and what was once a village is now desolate, looking as if no one has ever lived there.
The car was about to arrive at the county town, and several people in the car became alert.
"Be careful. Almost all the people who are still alive in the nearby villages have arrived in the city. It is also the time to forage at night. When we drive by now, it is like a little fat sheep entering the flock." Shen Qing reminded in a low voice, " Never stop if someone is in your way.”
Shen Zhian clenched the steering wheel nervously, praying that he could leave the county smoothly.
As Shen Qing said.
As soon as their car arrived at the county town, it attracted the attention of people looking for food.
With sticks in their hands, they blocked the front of the car.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Shen Zhian anxiously sounded his horn to warn the crowd.
But the other party seemed to be sure that Shen Zhian would not dare to bump into him, and had no intention of moving.
Shen Zhian's hand holding the steering wheel was sweating.
what to do……
Do you really want to run into it?
Although he knew that this was a special period, facing so many lives, he still couldn't step on the accelerator.
Shen Qing also noticed this.
She stood up from her seat, got behind Shen Zhian and pressed his arm.
"Zhian! Don't hesitate, step on the accelerator and rush over!"
"If our car is forced to stop by them, we will be beaten immediately. None of these survivors are fuel-efficient. Even if we have guns, we may not have a 100% advantage."
"You don't want anything to happen to our family."
Shen Qing's words seemed to give Shen Zhian reassurance.
yes.
The weak eat the strong.
They block in front of the car just because they are sure they don't dare to hit it...
If they really stopped the car, the people in the car would have disastrous consequences.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhian stepped on the accelerator hard.
There was a loud bang.
The people who were standing in front of him just now have all been knocked away.
"Hurry up and chase them, they are so nervous! There must be food in the car!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Hearing the word food, more people crawled out of the corner.
"Where's the food? I need to eat...I need to eat."
"The food is in the car ahead! Stop them!"
People who are crazy about hunger have no energy to think about the truth and falsehood.
Their bodies were one step faster than their brains and had already caught up.
Zhao Xi's face turned pale, "Why did so many people appear in an instant? Not only behind the car... but also on both sides of the road... Sister Shen Qing, what should we do now?"
Shen Qing frowned as she looked at the crowd chasing after her in the rearview mirror.
"Zhi'an, open the skylight."
"ah?"
Shen Zhian controlled the direction while trying to avoid the flying rocks.
"Aren't you waiting to get smashed if you open the window now?"
Shen Qing took out his gun and said, "If this continues, it will be difficult for us to leave the county. Listen to me."
"yes."
The skylight slowly opened.
Shen Qing leaned out half of his body.
She aimed at the crowd chasing after her and kept pulling the trigger.
The people chasing behind saw Shen Qing having a gun in his hand, and suddenly stopped, too scared to move forward.
Zhao Xi was worried that she would not be able to care about what was behind her, so she flipped from the front seat to the back seat and squeezed out of the sunroof to help deal with the crowd on the other side.
Although he had practiced many times in Guo Yuancun, this was the first time that Zhao Xi pointed his gun at a living person.
The process of pulling the trigger was too torture for her.
But she also knew in her heart that if she didn't kill them, she would die at any time.
So even under tremendous psychological pressure, she still fired at the crowd.
Feeling that there was an extra person behind him, Shen Qing felt a little more at ease.
Sure enough, she was right.
In this way, after a collision all the way, the car finally drove off the county road.
Shen Qing and Zhao Xi also returned to the car.
After leaving the county town, the surroundings became quiet again, and the car drove much more slowly.
The sky is getting brighter and the temperature will rise soon.
To prevent the car from being burned on the road, Shen Qing asked Shen Zhian to park the car on the side of the road first.
"Zhi'an, I'm going to check out the situation nearby first. You can protect your parents in the car. If something happens, you go first and don't wait for me." Shen Qing instructed.
Shen Zhian was a little worried, "Sister, how about I go?"
"obedient!"
Shen Qing patted his shoulder and then jumped out of the car.
This place is also a village.
There was silence.
Shen Qing watched his surroundings vigilantly in case someone suddenly attacked.
The houses in this place also collapsed due to the earthquake. Shen Qing walked around and saw only one house that did not collapse.
She approached cautiously.
There was no sound inside.
The door was unlocked and she walked straight in.
The house was very clean, but the tables and chairs were dusty, and there were no footprints on the ground. It looked like it had not been occupied for a long time.
Out of caution, she checked every house to make sure there was no one there before directing Shen Zhian to drive into the village and stop at the door of the house.
The sun has risen and the temperature has risen.
Several people quickly hid in the house.
Take advantage of it when no one is around. Shen Qing secretly took all the oil in the car back into the space.
Before entering, I found a piece of tarpaulin in the yard and covered the car.
"We're only staying here for one day, and we'll leave when it gets dark! Please don't blame us." Tao Ying said to herself in front of the house.
Shen Qing felt no burden in her heart.
She took a bag of compressed biscuits and distributed them to several people.
"Eat whatever you want, fill your stomach and go to bed quickly. If we drive for another four or five hours at night, we can get to City S."
Several people were exhausted at night and fell asleep quickly.
While they were sleeping soundly, another car arrived at the village.
"Brother... do we really have to go find that car? Do they have guns in their hands..." Huang Mao shrank his head, wanting to back down.
"Hmph, it's precisely because they have guns that we have to go find them." The bearded man sneered: "Use your pig brains. If we can snatch their guns away, wouldn't that mean we can make waves?"
