Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 118 Moving Out, Chasing

No matter how Qiao Wei scolded her son, mother-in-law or husband, Du Qiyan still packed up her and Lin Zhe's simple luggage and moved to the house next door.

Dogs can’t change eating shit!

The reason why a naughty child is called a naughty child is that how can he change for the better by just a slap in the face and a scolding?
Maybe he will blame Gigi for the slap he received today.

Qiao Wei had such a rage in front of them today, and for some reason, he not only didn't feel relieved, but also felt very uncomfortable.

For Gigi's personal safety, it would be better for everyone to live separately.

"Jiji, next time An Zirui hits you, don't be polite, just beat him up."

Du Qiuyan felt very uncomfortable when he saw Gigi carrying a backpack and pulling her suitcase into the new yard.

Before he died, Lao Lin entrusted his son to them, which showed his trust in them.

But he betrayed this trust.

"But." Lin Zhe bit his lip and hesitated, "But he is Uncle Qiao's nephew."

"Who cares who he is? If he bullies you, you fight back. As long as you do nothing wrong, uncle will stand by you, and so will your uncle Joe. Do you understand?"

In order to allow Lin Zhe to protect himself, they had been busy for several months since they left Su City. As a result, in just over three months, Lin Zhe had grown a little taller.

Thinking of this, Du Qiyan looked at Lin Zhe's pants that exposed his ankles and touched his nose embarrassedly.

It's rough for a grown man to take care of a child. He runs around all the time and doesn't even think of going to a children's clothing store to find some suitable clothes for him.

"Here is a bicycle. Uncle will take you around the area."

See if you can find a children's clothing store.

The flat-headed man was very polite to them. The yard was also cleared in advance. There was a shed on the west side of the wall, and inside it was a blue mountain bike that was about 80% new. It must be for a student at home.

He first checked the tires and brakes to see if there was any problem. Then he wiped them clean, locked the door and took Gigi out.

Du Qiuyan took Lin Zhe away for about half an hour, and Qiao Fei, who had gone out to discuss something, came back.

As soon as he entered the yard, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He looked around and saw that his brother-in-law and the old lady did not look very happy, and his sister also had a stern face.

The most surprising thing was that the lawless nephew, who had always been spoiled by the old lady, had tears on his face and stood straight against the wall.

Obviously standing in the penalty area.

Qiao Fei did not ask why his nephew was standing in the corner again. Instead, he looked up to the second floor and found that Du Qiuyan and Lin Zhe were not there.

He looked at his sister and asked, "Are they out?"

When he asked this question, he found that the old lady and his brother-in-law turned their heads and looked away unnaturally at the same time.

"Xiao Fei, Zi Rui is in trouble."

"Tsk, when does he not get into trouble?"

Even though he was her biological brother, Qiao Wei still felt ashamed to say this. However, she knew that she couldn't keep it secret. Even if she didn't say it, her brother would still know it when Xiao Du came back.

"Zi Rui threw pebbles at Lin Zhe, and Xiao Du got angry. He took Lin Zhe and moved next door."

Qiao Fei's face changed and he turned to look at An Zirui. His sharp gaze scared the naughty kid so much that he trembled again and even opened his mouth and cried out "wow".

"Shut up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, An Zirui's crying stopped. Because it stopped so suddenly, he even hiccupped. However, he pursed his lips tightly, and tears continued to flow down.

He was fair and delicate, and he looked pitiful and aggrieved as he tried so hard to hold back silent tears.

When Mrs. An saw her precious grandson crying like this, she couldn't bear it any longer.

"Did he hit it? No, the kid was fine, but it was our Xiao Rui who was beaten and made to stand in the corner. Qiao Wei, Xiao Fei, you two need to understand clearly, this is your own son and nephew. Is it worth it for you to torture him like this for an outsider?"

does it worth?
laugh!
Qiao Fei didn't want to say anything more and turned around and left the yard.

"Xiao Fei."

Qiao Wei was panicking and chased Qiao Fei outside, saying with an unpleasant expression, "I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

Qiao Fei turned his head to look at his sister, then glanced at his brother-in-law who was squatting motionless in the yard, feeling helpless.

The end of the world really tests human nature.

"I'll go find them."

After saying this, Qiao Fei borrowed a bicycle from the bald man and went to explore the surrounding area.

He didn't leave just to look for them. On the one hand, he didn't want to stay in the yard, and on the other hand, he wanted to take a closer look at the surroundings. He didn't completely agree with Li Nan's words, and he had to make his own considerations based on the environment.

"Uncle Du, Pengcheng is so clean."

Du Qiuyan was not familiar with this place. In order to find the children's clothing store, he walked and searched along the way, and gradually rode into the city.

To his surprise, the urban area of Pengcheng was unexpectedly quiet.

Not only were there no zombies, there weren't even any corpses.

Just like Gigi said, without any corpses or stench, it is really very clean.

As for the deserted streets and messy shops on both sides, what does that matter?
He was curious, who cleaned Pengcheng so thoroughly?

In fact, when he came all the way from Pingjiang Bridge yesterday, he also vaguely felt that Pengcheng felt safer than other cities.

Based on his intuition, he was sure that it had nothing to do with Li Nan and the others.

Of course it doesn’t matter, this was all cleaned up by Jiang Minglang and Mu Song’s gang.

It's August now, and although it's not as hot as in previous years, it's still a problem if the body is left there for too long.

In order to prevent any trouble before it happens, and to live a peaceful life, Jiang Minglang must suppress this hidden danger.

Since they had to search the city for supplies anyway, they just cleaned up as they went. Slowly, they almost cleaned up Pengcheng.

Why say almost, instead of all?
Because there are still many zombies trapped in homes, it is necessary to break into houses one by one to clean them out, which is very troublesome.

Although it was troublesome, Jiang Minglang did have a plan. He wanted to get through the busy farming season and then call Mu Songning'an to help clean up the neighborhoods one by one.

The existence of zombies is a hazard, and he would be very happy if he could clean up all of them in Pengcheng.

But the annoying thing is that Pingjiang Bridge is a hidden danger. From time to time, there are always some zombies chasing people running over there.

Fortunately, Mu Song is a fire element and often walks around to burn things with fire.

Otherwise Jiang Minglang would be satisfied with this neighbor. Without him, Pengcheng would not be so clean now.

However, not only the streets are clean, but also the shops and shopping malls.

Du Qiuyan took Lin Zhe on a bicycle ride for more than an hour. At the end, he put one foot on the ground and looked around blankly.

Damn, I have never seen a city cleaner than Pengcheng. Let alone finding clothes, I can't even find a hair.

No, who is this?
Collect everything without leaving anything, so ruthless?
I was just admiring the city cleanup, but now I just want to curse. All the food and daily necessities were taken away, but there must be something left for the rest.

No, there really was nothing. Du Qiyan didn't believe in superstition, so he went to a pet store when he passed by and looked inside. There was nothing left, even cleaner than his face.

Who is this? How shameless of you to eat even your pet's food?

"what!"

The two searched several streets in succession. When they were on the street thinking about whether they should go to the community across the street to look for it, they suddenly heard a bird cry in the air.

Lin Zhe looked up suddenly, then his eyes lit up, and he raised his arms and waved towards the sky.

After following his two uncles around after the end of the world, he has now formed a habit of not shouting loudly no matter what happens.

Even when I suddenly saw Xiaofeng yesterday, I didn't shout out loud.

It was the same at this time. While waving his hands vigorously, he lowered his voice and called softly, "Feng Bao!"

"what!"

Du Qiuyan looked up at the yellow and white parrot and thought it was really strange. Could it be that this bird had become a spirit?

Yesterday, when I saw Jiji, it barked. When Jiji called it, it also barked. The same thing happened today.

He didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Perhaps because of the presence of this stranger, the bird just hovered in the air and did not come down.

"Uncle Du, my boss must be in Pengcheng. He is really in Pengcheng!"

Lin Zhe grinned brightly at the parrot hovering in the sky. This kind of smile from the heart was something he had never seen in the past few months.

"Uncle Du, look, Fengbao is flying over there. Do you think my boss is in the east?"

He looked at Du Qiyan expectantly and pleaded, "Can we go over there and take a look?"

Pengcheng is so clean that he feels safe even though Uncle Du takes him on a bicycle.

What's more, he really didn't want to go back. He wanted to find the boss. He had to find the boss.

Du Qiyan agreed immediately, "Okay, since we are just strolling around, why don't we just go over there and take a look."

I don’t know if it saw them chasing it, but the parrot would linger for a while after flying for a while, until it left the city and stepped onto a road leading to the suburbs, then it spread its wings and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

However, the direction is still east.

In order not to disappoint Gigi, Du Qiuyan did not stop and continued to look eastward along the road.

"By the way, Jiji, do you know where your friend's hometown is? Is it Pengcheng?"

After being reminded by Du Qiuyan, Lin Zhe remembered that the eldest brother had mentioned to him before that his grandfather's home seemed to be in Pengcheng.

And there is also a big orchard, what is it called?

Baicao Garden?
No, it’s obviously an orchard, how can it be called a grass garden?
Is that called Jiang Orchard?
Oops, I can’t remember.

Du Qiyan continued to ask while keeping a vigilant eye on the wasteland on both sides, "Last time you said his last name was Jiang, right?"

"Yes, his name is Jiang Qi."

He already knew this information last time. At that time, Qiao Fei said with certainty that Jiang Qi should be Jiang Minglang's son, and the woman who dared to go out to the supermarket with a long knife to move things was Jiang Minglang's wife.

If Jiang Minglang is really here
Du Qiuyan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

He seemed to know who had cleared out the zombies in Pengcheng so thoroughly.

After riding for about forty minutes, Du Qiuyan suddenly grabbed the brake handle and stopped the bike.

He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked thoughtfully at the two abrupt green walls in the fields about 300 meters ahead.

"What's wrong, Uncle Du?"

Du Qiyan wanted to test Lin Zhe, so he pointed to the green area ahead and asked him, "Jiji, look ahead--"

Lin Zhe looked in the direction Du Qiyan pointed. In a large field full of weeds, a streak of green was eye-catching yet out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Because the leaves are lush green and seem to be free from dust, they are weirdly and incredibly clean.

This is something newly born by Baili today. It’s hard to imagine it being dirty.

Lin Zhe opened his mouth in surprise, then looked at Du Qiyan, "Uncle Du, that wall didn't grow naturally, did it?"

Du Qiuyan rubbed his head and waved his right hand. Then a shining silver lightning rushed towards the green wall.

With a bang, silver exploded on the wall, splashing water, and a touch of khaki was faintly visible behind the green.

Du Qiuyan was stunned, then a smile broke out on his face: I was wondering why it was weird, so this is it.

But the next second the smile on his face froze abruptly, because where his water splashed, several vines, like living green snakes, suddenly stood up and pounced towards the place where the water splashed.

He and Lin Zhe were both shocked.

Are these vines alive?
With a swish, Lin Zhe pulled out his knife from his waist.

This is a knife that is almost as long as Qiqi's short knife. Qiao Fei and Du Qiuyan found it specially for him, and they also taught him how to use it carefully.

Lin Zhe held the knife and stood ready facing the green wall, thinking that if the vines dared to come over, he would cut them off.

It looks like the green ivy my mother used to grow. It shouldn't be difficult to cut it off.

Du Qiyan comforted him, "It's okay. It seems that if you don't move it, it won't attack."

Even so, Lin Zhe felt that this place was not safe.

He first looked up into the air, then looked around, but didn't see Xiao Feng.

Although she felt very disappointed, she still said to Du Qiyan sensibly, "Uncle Du, let's go back."

There were only the two of them, and he was afraid that if there was any danger, Uncle Du wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

"We're already here, it would be a shame if we don't look inside."

Du Qiyan saw what the little guy was thinking and rubbed his head. "You have so little confidence in your Uncle Du? Don't worry, I am more than capable of protecting you no matter what."

After saying that, he stepped on the pedal and continued to head east.

After crossing the green wall and reaching the fork in the road, he stopped and looked at the green in the middle of the road.

Well, the cover-up is not very thorough, and you can clearly see that it is a big iron gate.

I don’t know if it’s because the house inside is a bit far from the gate, but I can’t see anything through the gate.

Du Qiuyan thought, could this be the base built by Jiang Minglang?
He did not dare to go up and knock on the door, but passed by this road and continued riding east.

Lin Zhe also saw the gate. He really wanted to ask Uncle Du to stop, knock on the door and ask if the boss was here.

But there must be a reason why Uncle Du didn't go, so in the end he didn't say anything and just sat quietly in the back seat.

After riding forward for about another five hundred meters, Du Qiuyan braked and stopped again.

He looked at the small village in front of him with a strange expression. It was surrounded by walls on all sides, but because the houses inside were mostly two-story buildings, it was obvious from over the walls that this was a very neat small village.

But what does it mean to plant so many peonies along the base of the wall?
　good night!
