Chapter 134: go crazy, get hurt, and make money to support your family

"...... going out again?"

Zihua Jing's hair has just been permed, tied a high ponytail, slightly longer strands of curly hair hanging in front of the forehead, a face as clean and beautiful as jade.

She leaned against the gas tank and half-joked, "If you work so hard, will there be money for you to earn?"

Xiaochi Chi replied with a smile, "Of course I do."

While the two adults were talking, Jing Yiming held the fuel gun with both hands and shakily shoved the gun-head into the fuel filler to refuel Xiaochi Chi's motorcycle.

Xiaochi Chi looked at him with a childlike tilt of his head.

Jing Yiming raised his head, looking back admiringly at Xiaochi Chi , with the cleanest star in his eyes.

Xiaochi Chi single elbow on the dashboard, lightly patted Jing Yiming's head, dragged out the voice: "Earn money - to support the family ah."

Zihua Jing said, "Don't fight for your life."

"Well, that's good." Xiaochi Chi swirls open the thermos full of spirits and takes a sip.

"Good for what?"

Xiaochi Chi smiled, "It's nothing."

He is so desperate, in order to let Zihua Jing and other people who used to struggle with life, life and death, can sit comfortably in the back and advise him, "Don't be so desperate".

He drove the car, which was filled with gas, out of the gas station.

Their fuel, at first, was provided by the gas station where they first hid.

Later, they found this small town that backs up to a natural oil field.

A new gas station was built, and Zihua Jing remained the manager for two lifetimes.

Leaving the gas station, his boss gracefully paced out from the shadows without waiting for his voice to summon him, rubbing his ankle warmly.

Xiaochi Chi grabbed the clutch: "Boss, let's go."

The panther leapt onto the back seat, crouched on it, and nuzzled the tip of his nose against Xiaochi Chi's neck, his hot breath tickling Xiaochi Chi a little.

They drove slowly through the daytime market.

The people on the street have long been used to such a spectacle.

Everyone knows that the Qiuyun Ding family has a leopard with a particularly docile temperament and is not offended by children who are bold enough to touch it.

It even plays catch with the kids on the street while waiting for Qiuyun Ding.

A few people even greeted Xiaochi Chi: "Team Ding, walking the cat."

Xiaochi Chi blurted out, "Yeah."

The big cat behind him did not evolve intelligence like other creatures, and did not get angry at the words, but wrapped his tail around one side of Xiaochi Chi's thigh and gently licked the back of his neck, licking Xiaochi Chi almost drove the car into an S-shaped position: "Drive it drive it, go home and then play."

The leopard also did not mess with him again, resting his head lightly on his back, as if pampering rubbing fiddling.

Xiaochi Chi complimented a good boy.

Unbeknownst to him, the leopard lightly kissed his spine through his clothes, from top to bottom, one by one, tender and charming.

Xiaochi Chi is out again with his regular small team in search of supplies.

This time they will go to a city far away, the same city Qiuyun Ding fled with her parents.

Before leaving, Ding's father and mother came to say goodbye as usual.

The old couple is very spiritual, but also urged him to never run to the house, where it is not yet clear what the situation is, may have become the world of the creeper, it is best not to easily approach.

As they were leaving the small town, it was snowing outside.

In this snowy day, it is easy to drive the motorcycle slippery, Xiaochi Chi is also afraid of his boss tired of running, even the boss and the locomotive carried on the back of the truck.

On the road, Yan Sun was using his truck to receive a weak radio signal, and he sang a song in a silly and unconventional way, but he didn't mind singing along, shaking his head and enjoying himself.

Bin Sun shrunken in the passenger seat dozing, yesterday he was busy repairing the line of the East Side plunge, half the night did not sleep.

Xiaochi Chi had nothing better to do than to hold a damaged semiconductor and remove a felt carpet of parts.

Lanlan Yan came over: "Ding team, there are specialties in the field, this stuff is left for Xiao Sun to toss."

Xiaochi Chi fiddled with an old-fashioned circuit board with a serious look: "I can do this. Someone taught me."

The coal boss also seems to be interested in these parts, taking the claws to gently pick at the parts, dividing them into piles and piles.

Xiaochi Chi tsked and patted his paws, then he behaved himself and rested his face on Xiaochi Chi's knees, watching over his master, his watery eyes fixed on him, and never moved away.

A bold young man was fiddling with the boss's tail, and it was good-naturedly ignored.

The truck was running along the deserted highway when suddenly an indistinct singing voice came from outside, just in time to brush against the truck.

Listen to the tone, it is "Happy Birthday".

What is it that sings in the desolate streets of this cold, post-apocalyptic world?

Out of curiosity, Lanlan Yan opened the small peek-a-boo window and took a glance outside and drew a cold breath.

"Stop the car!" Lanlan Yan raised his hand and knocked on the peep window, "Da Sun, stop the car!"

When Yan Sun stepped on the gas pedal, Lanlan Yan opened the door of the truck and jumped off without waiting for the car to stop, under the baffled eyes of his teammates.

The ground has accumulated some new snow, stepping on it creaks and crunches.

She ran to the source of the sound that was still moving forward.

And the source of the sound that was traveling in the opposite direction from them heard the footsteps behind them and turned his head.

...... is looking for Jingyuan Xu's little guide dog.

Compared with two years ago, it is now a big change.

The little guide dog's front paws were broken, and the snowball-like body was covered with a gray, unwashable shade that looked like a dirty dungaree.

It looks like it has been torn by wild animals as food, the tail was torn to only a small, bare, like the tail of a rabbit, the appearance is quite comical.

It was limping along with the melody of "Happy Birthday" playing from the speaker in its belly.

Only its one pair of eyes, still as clear as the old days.

The little guide dog remembered Lanlan Yan and gave a gentlemanly nod: "It's you, the lady at the gas station."

Lanlan Yan ran a little out of breath, but when he got to the little guide dog, he didn't know what to say for a while, and a big cloud of hot air came out of his mouth.

Looking at it like this, I think I know that it did not find its little master.

Lanlan Yan weighed his words and gave a bright smile: "The song is very good."

The little guide dog said tamely, "Today is Miss's tenth birthday."

Lanlan Yan "Ah": "Are you celebrating her birthday?"

The little guide dog said, "It's not just that. I think the people who have birthdays today, when they hear the Happy Birthday song, will probe out of their rooms and cars to look at me, so that I might be able to find the lady."

Lanlan Yan's heart twitched.

She noticed that in order to keep her body balanced, the little guide dog stepped her injured front paws on a small, raised snowbank.

She said, "Your paws are hurt."

The little guide dog raised its front paws and said honestly, "It won't hurt."

"Come with us." Lanlan Yan extended an invitation to it, "We can fix you. In our place, there are many AIs that are friendly to old humans like you."

The little guide dog asked hopefully, "Is there a lady named Jingyuan Xu?"

Lanlan Yan is silent.

Faced with these eyes, she could not lie.

The little guide dog also understood what the silence meant and shook his head gently and lightly.

"I came from there." The little guide dog turned back and looked insistently at the end of the vast road ahead, "I'm going to go ahead and maybe I'll pass by your place again, and then, we might see each other again. Bye, gas station lady."

Lanlan Yan let out a cry as he saw the little guide dog turn around and leave again.

The little guide dog turned back.

Even though she knew what she was about to say might hurt the faithful little guide dog, Lanlan Yan was ruthless and said, "She left you behind and didn't go back for you after all these years, so she probably doesn't remember you anymore."

The little guide dog stood in the cold wind, its gray fur torn into clumps by the wind wrapped in snow particles.

Its big black-and-white eyes gazed at Lanlan Yan for a while, then opened its mouth and smiled sweetly.

She may forget me, she may have forgotten me, she may already have a new guide dog," it says. ...... But I have to make sure with my own eyes that she's OK without me. That would give me peace of mind. Thank you for your concern, Miss Gas Station."

After saying that, it gracefully owed Lanlan Yan and turned around to step into the cold wind blowing through.

Lanlan Yan stood dumbfounded in the same place.

The little guide dog came and went through the snow, just as it did two years ago, as if it were an illusion that only appears in the snow.

But the fading sound of the music keeps echoing in Lanlan Yan's mind.

At the sound of Yan Sun's horn, Lanlan Yan came back to his senses, took a few steps back under the truck and leapt onto the truck with the footrest.

As she lifted the curtain, she glanced back again.

The plum-shaped paw prints of the little guide dog were buried a little by the newly fallen snow.

She pursed her lips and dug into the carriage, bringing in a flurry of snow.

When she sat down, Qiuyun Ding asked her, "Acquaintance?"

Lanlan Yan dusted the snow on his work pants: "A casual acquaintance of ...... well, an acquaintance."

In the end times, such pure and sincere feelings actually came from a machine that was installed with emotional AI.

The AI taught it how to show affection and perform its duties with loyalty, but probably never taught it what it should do after its master disappeared.

What it is doing now is what it wants to do.

Lanlan Yan told the story of the guide dog to the team members in the car.

Everyone was speechless for a long time.

It was only after he finished speaking that Lanlan Yan realized he had met the little guide dog twice and had never asked its name.

It was not practical to turn around now, so she rested on the wall of the rumbling and vibrating carriage and launched into a daze.

After Xiaochi Chi finished repairing the semiconductor, he rested it on the soft belly of the coal boss and held it in his hand to play with it.

He thought about the story Lanlan Yan told and how he should behave when he met Xinzhi Gu later, and the truck was moving so regularly that soon afterwards he curled up on the leopard's belly and fell sound asleep.

Seeing Xiaochi Chi sleeping soundly, the leopard consciously enclosed itself in a fortress, circled its master properly, and wrapped its tail gently around Xiaochi Chi's waist.

Xiaochi Chi slept his way into town under the loving care of his family's big cat.

The formerly prosperous city has turned into a half-empty city.

The reason why I say it is half a seat is that there are still signs of animal activity here.

Two years down the line, the animals that couldn't adapt to the environment died, so the crowd wasn't too surprised to see an ostrich running parallel to the truck for a while before turning right at the intersection and parting ways with them.

They raided several empty shopping malls, and there was still some food left inside that had not been robbed empty, and the natural refrigerated environment extended the shelf life of the food again.

They found toothbrushes and toothpaste, several winter bedding items, pots and pans, all packed and shipped to the car.

Lanlan Yan also took a box of face masks very girlishly.

After the search, they also got a surprising number of surprises.

-- There was a pile of intact boxes in the corner of the warehouse. Due to the high ground where they were stored, they were not even soaked with water.

Unpacked, it is surprisingly more than a hundred bags of corn kernels inside, the net weight of two tons.

In the past two years, they have not been able to grow live corn, this pile of corn to bring back, can completely relieve the cravings.

Having found rations to fill their hunger, they went to several more hospitals in the city.

A search down, the team members are quite a bit downhearted.

The three pharmacies have long been robbed, only in the nooks and crannies of some of the fish missed. Besides, two years have passed, some of the drugs can't be eaten.

Xiaochi Chi, however, did not give up, went to the largest downtown hospital and abandoned the search for the pharmacy in plain sight and went straight to the pharmacy.

The door of the medicine store is locked, and the lock is an old-fashioned door lock.

We've all had a couple of flops and half a day of carrying corn, and now we're all disenchanted.

Bin Sun suggested: "Ding team, we'd better go, the city's animals scurrying around, in case we run into any mutated monsters ......"

Before he could finish, he received a thrashing from all sides and was knocked ouching and hiding in Yan Sun's arms.

Xiaochi Chi see this medicine warehouse door is unusually strong, thick and wide, the door has smashed pry and even fire traces.

He broke the eye of the lock to see, to confirm that the lock should not have been picked, like a hard pecan, everyone knows that the inside of the kernel delicious, but can only hope to sigh.

He asked 061: "Mr. Six, help me detect if there is anything wrong inside."

061 replied succinctly, "Yes."

With this statement from 061, Xiaochi Chi is now confident.

Xiaochi Chi ambled over to the lock eye to examine some, took out a bent pin from his shirt, took the teeth bent, stabbed into the lock eye, first carefully picking out the red rust inside, then changed his head, the bent pin into the lock eye inside, gently grin, side ear against the cold iron door, fiddling with the lock core.

The team, long used to electronic locks, was at a loss for this strange, old-fashioned lock, and could not even quite understand what Xiaochi Chi's actions now meant.

The crowd did not react until the door creaked open inward.

When they came back to their senses, the team members were shocked: "Holy shit, Team Ding, it's OK."

Xiaochi Chi tucked the twisted crank pin back into his coat pocket and said calmly, "Someone taught me that."

When a library full of medicines appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone went crazy.

Xiaochi Chi found an iron-blue corpse in the corner of the medicine store, which had long been frozen dry, when everyone couldn't even look at the date of manufacture and carried boxes of medicines that could be used.

The body was male, dressed as a staff member with a work tag on his chest, the very caretaker of the drug store.

This freezing and starving to death of the road down, the crowd has seen too much over the years, it has long been strange to see.

When he entered the door, Xiaochi Chi found something blocking the door lock, a half broken key, and when he went through his pockets, he found a broken key head in the corpse's pocket that just happened to fit, as well as a ball of paper that was clenched and crumpled up.

Xiaochi Chi unfolded the paper ball, which was filled with the names of various supplies, each with a horizontal bar drawn behind it, followed by the corresponding medicine given.

The light blue water pen marks are exactly the same color as the ink left at the tiger's mouth on the right hand of the corpse.

Xiaochi Chi thought that this person probably wanted to use the resources nearby and hoard them after the disaster, so he wrote notes to the people who came to rob the medicine, asking them to search for supplies for themselves according to the notes.

However, in a life and death situation, the legal constraints on people have disappeared without a trace, who still talk to him about equivalence.

In the face of the looting, the keeper of the medicine in an emergency to hide in the medicine storehouse, and take the key to lock the door, who wanted to use too much force, the key was broken in the eye of the lock, but blocked his own way of life.

He spent the next few days of his life fearing that he was guarding this hoard of medicine and spent the last few days of his life in fear and anxiety amidst the angry shouting and door slamming of the medicine robbers.

Xiaochi Chi reached down and pressed his stomach, finding it horribly cold, hard and bulging.

Then look at the empty pill plates and pill boxes scattered around him, he was clearly in a situation of extreme hunger, swallowed a large number of drugs close to him, in turn, harmed his own life.

With a slight sigh, he took the piece of paper filled with supplies and covered the dead face of the medicine keeper.

They removed half of the medicine which almost filled a heavy truck car.

The team members are happy to see the teeth and eyes, are thinking of simply taking advantage of the darkness to return home, to save trouble.

But their Ding team still insisted on going to a mall near the drug store to look again and see if there was anything available.

People are used to listening to him, and besides supplies don't bite the hand, naturally the more the better.

So no one has a problem with that.

Lanlan Yan asked excitedly, "If we find anything good again, we won't have a place to sit."

After a unanimous discussion, we decided that if there was not enough space, Bin Sun would be thrown down, scaring Bin Sun panicked and argued that he was thin and did not take up any space, which made everyone laugh.

Xiaochi Chi thought, "It's not much, I just want to pull a head of livestock back.

Xiaochi Chi is sitting in the car, and the two young men across from him are smoking.

He stroked the deformed curved pin in his pocket with one hand, held the newly repaired semiconductor in the other, and thought of the teacher who had taught him so many things, and his mouth faintly contained a smile.

After thinking for a while, Xiaochi Chi suddenly spoke up and said to the two young men, "Do you have any more cigarettes?"

The two men with cigarettes in their mouths were confused.

Lanlan Yan was also surprised: "Team Ding, since when did you start smoking?"

At that moment, Yan Sun slowly stopped the car.

They arrived at the entrance of that mall.

Xiaochi Chi waved his hand, crossed the coal boss who had been lying obediently on his side, and laughed: "Forget it, it's just a casual remark."

...... only, is suddenly remembered the past that always hold a cigarette self.

With this in mind, he lifted the heavy curtain.

No one reacted when a loud boom rang out, it was gunfire.

Xiaochi Chi was rushed back two steps by the force, looked down at his right chest, his body wobbled like a paperweight, fell forward and tumbled out of the bucket.

Xiaochi Chi half fainted before, only to hear 061 a shivering " Chi Xiao ", immediately after his words were drowned out by the bursting bean-like gunfire.

Yan Sun was furious and pulled Bin Sun from the passenger seat and wrapped his head with his down jacket: "Fuck you! There is an ambush here!!!"

But before he could pull the top-firing gun out of the toolbox, he heard an almost frenzied growl that shook his instincts to a weakness in his legs.

A pure black flying blade leapt out of the car, selected a spitting fire of the ruined car, and went in head first.

Only to see the flesh and blood split, flying in all directions, the moment the only three remaining windows of the ruined car splashed with a fishy red.

The man's headless corpse was thrown across the room and crashed straight into the side wall before the screams even had time to sound twice.

A dark shadow slips ghostly out of the window and quickly dives for the next point of fire as the ambushers flush helplessly.

Seeing the corpse spots on the severed corpse's body, the squad members sprang up in unison with a thought:

A new human being?

It was too late to think why there were so many new humans hiding in front of this seemingly dilapidated mall, Yan Sun's red eyes, a shot to kill a new human who showed his head, and from under the seat to feel a laser gun, turned his head and yelled: "...... Lan Lan! "

Lanlan Yan understood, copied out his gun and directly barred fire with the other side.

The ambushers could never have imagined that the other side would have far superior overwhelming firepower to theirs, as well as an unpredictable and ferocious beast.

Xiaochi Chi woke up again to the pain, the head is a little unclear, a piece of black stars flying in front of the mosquito shadow.

He felt himself being picked up.

The car was so besieged that Lanlan Yan, who had risked jumping out of the car, could not carry him to the car and had to half carry him, fighting and retreating to the interior of the mall.

After an unknown amount of time, the gunfire stopped.

His ear was close to the ground, so he could clearly hear familiar footsteps pacing in from the doorway.

He reluctantly opened his eyes, but what he saw was not his familiar boss.

-- In the afterglow of the setting sun, the black panther is full of blood, light silver whiskers dripping with blood, the muscles at the waistline a Shu a, as fierce as a cut artery beating.

He had no time to clean up his appearance, so he hurried to Xiaochi Chi's side and sniffed at his chest.

Xiaochi Chi endured the severe pain and ripped open the front flap: "Don't be afraid ...... I'm not hurt."

There padded with a clip iron plate clothing, considered a simple bulletproof clothing, the warhead stuck in his heart position at the steel plate, has been deformed.

Seeing the slug that did not enter, the panther seemed relieved and knelt down directly beside Xiaochi Chi, his eyes glowing a foggy blue, which did not match the blood red of his body.

Xiaochi Chi stroked its fried spine fur and coaxed it in a small painful voice, "Boss, boss."

It lowered its head, not daring to hurt him with force, only daring to bite Xiaochi Chi's hair.

When one person and one leopard were clinging to one another, a surprised and a little frightened male voice came from behind them: " Yun Qiu ?
