After a full day's rest, Xiaochi Chi packed up her things at dawn and planned to go to the neighboring city.

Ding's mother was not quite sure and wanted to ask Ding's father to drive with him.

A motorcycle is really unsafe, the second car space is large enough, a small motorcycle, even to carry barrels of oil are difficult.

Xiaochi Chi comforted Ding's mother, "Sister Ding, I am familiar with driving this motorcycle. Besides, in case something happens here in the service area, what will happen to you and old Ding head if I take the car away?"

It is not practical to take the two old men with you to plunder for supplies.

According to Qiuyun Ding's memory, in the early days of the disaster, there was no looting in the service area, and Zihua Jing even made two deals and traded 70 liters of oil for a mechanical crossbow for hunting.

Only about half a month after the global cooling, a small group of old humans dedicated to robbing came to this place.

Not only did they have no concept of the so-called quid pro quo, but they also made obscene remarks to Zihua Jing, intending to drag her away as a trophy, forcing Zihua Jing to fire her crossbow, killing one person and wounding another on the spot.

The rest of the people do not have long-range attack weapons, and look at this woman fierce, guessing that she is afraid of someone behind the back, dare not make a move, only to run first.

Therefore, in the current situation, staying in the service area is the safest option.

But Xiaochi Chi is not 100 percent confident.

He went to the neighborhood to collect a large number of freeze-dried branches, neatly remove the frost, neatly yard in the corner of the common room for backup, and agreed with his parents to return in three days on time, and called Lanlan Yan to give a few instructions, the content is simple, but how to deal with the encounter with the beasts, new humans and the old humans who have defected.

Lanlan Yan, after all, is still young and feels a great deal of responsibility, scratching his earlobe nervously, "Huh? I'll take care of everything."

Xiaochi Chi said, "Two big ones, two small ones, please suffer more with Jie Jing."

Lanlan Yan : "Oops, I'm not talking about Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding. I mean that person."

She nudged her mouth in the direction of the convenience store.

Xiaochi Chi slipped something into her hand and smiled.

He said, "If he doesn't look for trouble, everyone will be fine; if he looks for trouble, the convenience store will be ours, so we won't lose out."

Looking at the smile of the person in front of him, and weighing the weight of the object in his hand, Lanlan Yan was immediately relieved: "Don't worry, it's all taken care of for you."

Lanlan Yan is not very old, but he is absolutely righteous.

Since she promised to "take good care of", it will not be the slightest bit worse, even if it means taking her own life to fulfill the promise, she gritted her teeth and went on.

After the explanation, Xiaochi Chi started filling the vehicle with diesel fuel, as if he was planning a long trip.

Through the window, looking at the busy figure of Qiuyun Ding, Han Xiao, who was freezing and grimacing, finally burst out in joy.

But in just two days, he had had enough of being stuck in this little convenience store.

No electronic devices to pass the time aside, eating, drinking, pulling and eating in this closed space of a few dozen square meters is just, Han Xiao is really afraid of the group of people to rob him this small convenience store, but also afraid that in this freezing weather, a sleep can not wake up, simply to fight the spirit, has not slept, running around the shelves for warmth, boiled a red eyes.

When he could not hold out, he wanted to drink a cup of coffee to refresh, looking around and could not find hot water, but only to the boxed coffee to the mineral water bottle full of ice water mixture, shaking half a day can not shake even, and so lumped into the mouth, and drank a mouth of paste, disgusting.

The good thing is that he is about to get over it.

As long as the things that are in the way leave, he can also find that group of people to talk about it.

He rubbed his hands, which were already frozen, and rustled through the chocolate wrappers that had been thrown on the floor, went around behind the counter, squeezed the spring-loaded knife in his hand, and, especially if it was not enough, put an inch-long fruit knife in his pocket.

In preparation, he even came up with excuses.

Ding went, at least ten days and a half months back, this group of women and children without food, and rest in their service area for two full days, do not pay a price how can it work?

This is a free parking area, but now that the world has changed, it's time for everyone to change the rules.

If this bunch of old and sick people do not follow the rules, then they will teach them what is ......

The small □□□ thought beautiful, suddenly heard from the direction of the door came tinkling banging.

When he looked up, he was shocked to find the tall Qiuyun Ding standing in front of his store, tossing something on the door handle outside.

His first reaction was "robbery", panic to open the blade, but because of technical inexperience, cut his own hand.

The Qiuyun Ding outside found him holding his bloodied right hand tiger mouth painfully huffing and puffing, unexpectedly raising an eyebrow, holding one hand on the glass outer door with a gentle tone, "This gentleman, I know you now cherish your existing supplies, you can rest assured that we will find the supplies ourselves and will not come to rob you."

Han Xiao looked out the door and his eyes went straight.

The outside door pull had a huge U-shaped lock on it, twice the size of the bike lock he had locked inside the door.

Qiuyun Ding tapped on the glass door: "To show our sincerity, you put a lock on the inside and we put a lock on the outside, so how fair is that, right?"

...... Fair my ass!!!

But Han Xiao did not dare to stumble in front of Qiuyun Ding, who was a head taller than him, and did not even dare to say the word no. He had to see Qiuyun Ding get on his motorcycle and leave with a bang.

Han Xiao forehead veins jumping, really want to kick the door to break.

However, without this door, not what cats and dogs can come in to move things?

After this day or so, Han Xiao also slowly realized that if the power and AI were never restored, the small convenience store would be his country.

But the gasoline outside, as well as the underground oil pool, and a greater wealth, if used properly, then the benefits are only more and less, I'm afraid.

Zihua Jing has always been shrewd, and expecting her to voluntarily give up such a big piece of cake is a fool's errand.

Han Xiao paced around the odor-filled convenience store in annoyance and made up his mind to break the back window in the middle of the night and climb out to talk to Jie Jing, asking her to blow these strangers out as soon as possible, or worse, to enter into an alliance with her to share the resources of the convenience store.

He thought, the more people, the more trouble, wait until the group of uninvited guests to blow out, and then he and Jie Jing live together, may also be able to get what you want, with her.

A divorced and spirited woman with a dragging bottle, it is not easy to find another family.

I have never been married, and with Jie Jing in a piece, Jie Jing is also considered to take advantage of.

But he will not dislike Jie Jing, living a life, is not a mutual understanding?

This uninformed thought supported Han Xiao until the twilight hour.

The smell of hot rice was in the air.

The rice is good rice, take ultraviolet light to kill the bacteria, even in the summer can be stored for a long time, cooked rice pearl-like, sticky and soft.

Each person evened out a spoonful of mushroom sauce from the can and smoothed it over the tips of the rice.

The texture of shiitake mushrooms is soft and porcelain, just like chewing meat, and the taste is salty and delicious, so it is the best way to serve rice.

Smelling the uninterrupted aroma, Han Xiao's mouth watered like a fountain, but he could only gnaw on the instant noodles, his mouth was filled with the taste of seasoning packets and preservatives, he could only stare and swallow, choking, and his eyes were turning white.

He held back his irritation and waited until the fragrance of the meal dissipated and the sound of shuffling stopped before he took a piece of clothing, wrapped his fist in layers, smashed the glass of the back window a few times, pulled out the remaining glass fragments on the edge and climbed out on his hands and knees.

He thought the crowd had gone to sleep.

So when he crept open the door with his knife in hand, intending to scare people away while they were just asleep and not thinking clearly, he saw Zihua Jing crouched by the fire pit in the center of the room, adding wood to it.

Not only Zihua Jing, but also everyone was up, saluting this midnight visitor.

Han Xiao : "......" It's fucking embarrassing.

Zihua Jing frowned at the knife in his hand, "What are you trying to do?"

Han Xiao is not a smart person, now the hot blood to the brain rumbled, so I did not do anything, gritted his teeth and said: "You people all give me get out!"

Both Wanwan He and Yiming Jing's eyes widened.

Ding's mother held Yiming Jing's little head and stroked it tenderly so that he would not be afraid.

Lanlan Yan put Wanwan He to protect behind him, hand into the sleeping bag, holding the weapon Qiuyun Ding handed her.

Ding's father frowned: "Young man, speak more politely. Whose old man are you?"

Han Xiao saw the fire pit they used to keep warm, saw their warm sleeping bags, and even saw the hot water boiling in the pot, his eyes turned red with jealousy, and he opened his mouth to choke back: "I'm your fucking old man!"

Zihua Jing also knew that the person in front of him was a living self-walking fool, and asked directly in return, "Who are you to kick them out? I'm the one who kept them here."

Han Xiao gestured with the tip of his knife, " Jie Jing, don't you see? They have so many good things on them!"

Zihua Jing : "It's theirs! It's not your-"

"Where's 'their' stuff?! If I see it, it's fucking mine!!! I have a knife in my hand!"

Seeing that he was about to lose control of his emotions, Lanlan Yan pulled out the gun Qiuyun Ding had given her before she left, and aimed the black muzzle directly at Han Xiao's face: "Get out! Get out!"

Han Xiao : "...... "The scene became more awkward for a while.

However, for a young man with a low IQ and a constant brain, Lanlan Yan's move was like throwing a cannonball into a cesspool.

After a short period of disorientation, he became more and more excited: "Shoot me! Come on, hit me, hit me here!"

He pointed to the heart of his head: "Did you hit it right? Huh? Hit, you must aim to hit, do not hit on other people, a hit a bloody hole!"

Lanlan Yan's face changed.

This laser gun is actually the best to use, but the thought of the possibility of accidentally injuring others gives her a trifle of heart first.

Finding Lanlan Yan retreating, Han Xiao became proud: "Fight? Little girl, you have a fierce mouth, don't you? Why don't you hit ......?"

He was kicked to the ground from behind and knocked half of his incisors directly out.

Behind him stood Xiaochi Chi, who was covered in a frosty cold air.

Xiaochi Chi followed by two doll-faced, droopy-eyed youth, they did not know what was happening, but still one on each side, came up to hold people down.

The larger one had a skillful posture and a standard grappling technique: "Team Ding, it's under control."

Inside the warm room, Xiaochi Chi closed the door and, without saying a word, first seized the two knives Han Xiao had with him.

After being first taken down and losing his weapon, the blood in his head faded and Han Xiao calmed down.

Han Xiao tried to make excuses for herself while she wanted to slap herself twice: "I was drunk. You guys get rid of me!"

Xiaochi Chi waved his hand at the pair of young brothers, "Drag him out and don't disturb my parents' sleep."

Xiaochi Chi turned back and said, "When I go out, children cover your ears and behave yourself."

Wanwan He did as he was told.

Yiming Jing still wanted to see the fun and said in a milky voice, "I'm not a child anymore."

Yiming Jing was then brutally muffled by her own mother.

After dragging Han Xiao out like a broken pocket, Xiaochi Chi did not say anything and kicked the man on the ground at his waist: "Too much to drink?"

Followed by a kick to the stomach: "Too much to drink?"

After asking a dozen times in this form, Han Xiao finally couldn't take it anymore and cried, "I didn't, I didn't drink too much, I got carried away, I'm sorry Ding, I was wrong, I was wrong-"

"You don't think you're wrong for coming to a robbery," Xiaochi Chi said. Xiaochi Chi said, "You think you're wrong because you didn't step on the right spot and ended up in my gun-hole."

Han Xiao was uttered a big sweat, only to shake his head one after another, crying and denying.

Xiaochi Chi also stopped being polite to him and reached into his pockets and found the key to the bike lock.

If we find the key, Han Xiao will be useless.

Xiaochi Chi gave him an ultimatum: "The dog hole you came out of, go back in the same way you came out of, give you five minutes to take the necessities you need from the convenience store, and get the hell out of here."

Han Xiao immediately like a bolt from the blue: "The convenience store is my ......"

"Where there's something for you." Xiaochi Chi returned the original comment, "What I see is what I get."

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "You have four minutes and fifty seconds."

Han Xiao is still trying to hang on for dear life: "How is five minutes enough ......"

Xiaochi Chi : "Three minutes."

Han Xiao : "Wasn't it just--"

Xiaochi Chi : "Two minutes and fifty seconds."

Han Xiao rushed back, not daring to say a word more.

In the end, he gave Han Xiao five minutes to pack up her things.

He held three boxes of instant noodles, two boxes of water and a box of ham sausages into the car, driving the car, all the way straight to the south of the light county fled.

Xiaochi Chi did not warn him that the city he was heading to would have a serious snake infestation occurring half a day later.

Such people, as long as they live, will become lapdogs in cooperation with the new humans, beaters in cooperation with the old humans, pits in cooperation with the good guys, and harms in cooperation with the evil guys.

How about letting him have a good time with the animals, so that he knows, what is the animal fierce.

Xiaochi Chi unlocked both locks, took inventory of the remaining supplies in the convenience store, and joined the doll-faced brothers in moving the supplies into a nearby spare room.

It was a three-day trip, but from the beginning, Xiaochi Chi had a plan.

One day round trip is enough.

Han Xiao is a typical citizen's character, ruthless, weak and greedy, he has no previous convictions and thinks it is safer to commit crimes at night, so he will not attack Lanlan Yan during the day and will most likely start picking fights on the first night, blowing his parents and Lanlan Yan away and seizing their supplies.

Sun's brothers are in the next city, driving two hours of motorcycle will be able to make a round trip, the morning departure, the latest night before eight o'clock can also be back.

Like Qiuyun Ding, he retired early due to injury and is working for a shipping company, while his younger brother, Bin Sun, studied systems engineering and has a PhD at the age of 24.

The brothers are very affectionate.

In the army, Qiuyun Ding just listen to Yan Sun a mouth, already know his brother's date of birth and he is the same September 12, Virgo, love to eat spicy, can read, like small animals, is a genius, but not at all proud, easy-going, good temper, but sometimes behave a little strange.

When the disaster occurred, Bin Sun happened to stay at Yan Sun's dormitory, and the two brothers had agreed to play racing games all night.

When he fled, Yan Sun took an empty truck that he often drove.

The truck became the long-term means of transportation for Qiuyun Ding's team later.

The car, at first, was the sole responsibility of Yan Sun, a car soldier. As for Bin Sun, who was born to deal with all kinds of advanced AIs, it is rare to figure out which foot to use for the gas pedal and brake.

Yan Sun before he died, pulling Qiuyun Ding, said to him, Ding team, take care of Xiao Bin.

He also said that the reverse mirror hanging on the Pikachu charm do not throw away, although everyone said ugly, but that is the first birthday gift to him when Xiao Bin was five years old.

Finally, he called Bin Sun's name and screamed three times before he breathed his last.

After his death, Bin Sun soon learned to drive.

And before Bin Sun died, he never left the driver's seat again, even sleeping with his brother's coat.

The good thing is, both brothers are still there, still standing in front of him in good shape.

After taking care of Han and counting the supplies he left behind, Xiaochi Chi put his previously purchased hand-cranked generator, a dozen or so cans, bedding, and two sealed buckets of water into the new warehouse as supplies recovered from the trip.

When he came out, he found Lanlan Yan actually waiting for him outside.

The young girl's frozen white face was tinged with a bit of shame: "Ding, I'm sorry."

Xiaochi Chi looked at her.

She handed the gun back to Xiaochi Chi , and whispered, "I ...... promised to protect Jie Jing and the others. But I didn't dare to do it ......"

Xiaochi Chi calmly pushed the gun back to Lanlan Yan.

He said, "Yes, there is something wrong with what you did this time, next time pay attention to two things, first, when you are not familiar with guns, don't take them out in a confined space as a last resort; second, as a last resort, no matter what the situation is, have the courage to shoot. It's not just protecting other people, it's also protecting yourself."

In fact, after giving the gun to Lanlan Yan, Xiaochi Chi could have gone out safely.

Lanlan Yan is young and impulsive, with a passionate heart, always feels that death is too far away for her, and thinks that she is the center of the world, and no one can take her turn to die, so she takes risks without fear.

Lanlan Yan doesn't know what death means, but Qiuyun Ding does, and so does Xiaochi Chi.

So, she needs to learn, and Xiaochi Chi needs to be taught.
