the beginning of the end

The sound of the car starting is very loud, don't think about it, it will definitely attract some mutant mice, it just depends on how much.

Mu Qiangguo drove the car out of the garage smoothly. Except for Shen Xi, the old lady Mu and Mu Jianguo all looked very nervous, and Mu Jianguo's hand holding Da Ya was even tighter.

Shen Xi began to observe the surroundings with his spiritual sense. Two mutated mice approaching heard the movement and ran from the right. He planned to avoid these troubles and shouted: "Drive to the lower left." There are no mutated mice there now.

Mu Qiangguo heard his voice, turned the steering wheel to the left, and drove to that street as he did.

A car was driving on the empty and quiet city road, it was very loud, and after a while, it attracted a lot of mutated mice to chase after it. Shen Xi easily avoided it with his spiritual sense, but the car still chased after him. There are quite a few mutated mice, not to mention that many roads in the city are blocked, Shen Xi's spiritual sense is a certain distance away, and he can't see all of them, so some roads have passed and there is no way ahead, so he can only turn back move back.

Therefore, Shen Xi would direct Mu Qiangguo to say: "Back back, there is no way ahead."

"There are a lot of mutated mice in the back." Mu Jianguo tried his best to sound calm, and stared at the mutated mice that followed the car all the way behind the car. There were about ten of them.

"Press it." Shen Xi said without pause.

Mu Qiangguo stared at the mirror of the car in front, and stepped back at a faster speed. The mutated mouse running in front was immediately crushed into a meatloaf, and the tires were soon covered with blood and flesh, with patches of gray mouse skin stuck between them. The burst of blood even dyed a large mirror behind the car bright red.

Stimulated by the blood, the other mutated mice all went berserk, glared ferociously at the car and ran back for a few meters, then rushed towards the roof of the car, trying to find a way out from above and jump down to tear the people inside.

"Ah!" By the window where Old Madam Mu was sitting, a mutated mouse jumped up and hit the glass, scaring her heart to pieces, and immediately exclaimed. This was the first time she saw a monster at such a close distance, so she was naturally afraid. It's too bad.

The mutated mouse on the roof scratched the roof with its paws and made a "sizzling" sound, but it didn't fall off.

As soon as Mu Qiangguo's car drove out, it immediately turned around and slowed down a bit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, two mutated mice actually jumped and grabbed the bracket of the reflector.

"Drive at the fastest speed." Shen Xi said, Mu Qiangguo can use his spiritual sense to see the road just like him, but it's not easy to be too distracted while driving, so he will direct and observe all the way.

Mu Qiangguo increased the speed of the car to the maximum, first threw off the mutant mouse on the roof, then he braked suddenly, and similarly threw off the two wobbling and attacking ones on the mirror bracket. After throwing off, he immediately He quickly increased the speed of the car to the maximum again, and left the scene before the mutated mouse could react.

This time, they quickly got rid of the mutated mice behind. I wonder if all the mutated mice around were attracted by their cars just now. The road ahead was smooth, and only one or two mutated mice were encountered. Can't keep up with their speed at all.

With less threat and faster speed, their car left the city quickly. After driving for about [-] minutes, they left the inner city and reached the edge of the city.

Unexpectedly, they also encountered many cars driving out of the city on the edge of the road. It seems that there are quite a few people who think the same as them.

Everyone was running for their lives, and they were not in the mood to stop to catch up on the old days. They went their separate ways, but it was all right, but Shen Xi found that many of the cars driving ahead were heading north, possibly to the capital.

The car never stopped along the way, but it was getting dark gradually, and it was impossible for everyone to sleep in the car.

"Find a house close to the road, and have a good rest tonight." Shen Xi said.

Next, Mu Qiangguo and the people in the car began to pay attention to both sides of the road. They were taking the highway, and it was not close to the village, so it was not easy to find a place to stay at night.

After driving for a long distance, they found a small two-story building on the side of the road. It may have been a restaurant in the past, with a crumbling sign outside and several cars parked there. Obviously, the house had already been destroyed. There are people.

But the sky was gloomy, and it was almost completely dark. The old lady Mu and the two children in the car were very tired, and they didn't have time to look for other places to live. Shen Xi had to ask Mu Qiangguo to park the car in the Next to the first few practice cars.

Hearing the sound of brakes, two men walked out of the house and saw a bus parked outside.

Shen Xi carried his son on his back and helped Mrs. Mu to get out of the car first, followed by Mu Jianguo who was hugging his eldest daughter. After parking the car, Mu Qiangguo went to the back to take out the things he needed at night, and got off the car last with two big bags of things. .

The two men saw that among the people who got off the bus were three old people and children who had no combat effectiveness, so they relaxed their vigilance and went back to the house.

When Shen Xi and his group entered the building, they realized that there were quite a lot of people gathered inside. There were men, women, young and old. They gathered together on the left side, and another group gathered in the corner on the right side. They were even assigned. Shen Xi took a closer look, and it should be The two people were not together at the same time. The person who just went out to check was obviously the person on the left. The owner of the house did not see anyone, and something may have happened.

The people inside were all muttering and discussing something. When they saw someone coming in, they just looked up and observed, and soon they all resumed their talking. Maybe the whole group is not harmful. Shen Xi is thin and beautiful. With a boyish face and two children and an old man with him, Mu Jianguo doesn't look like a very powerful person, so everyone's eyes are not so repulsive, just staring at Mu Qiangguo, a tall and strong man, His eyes were a little wary.

"Father, the baby is hungry." The tender voice of his son came from Shen Xi's arms.

Mu Xibao stretched out his small head forward, and looked at Mu Qiangguo next to him. He was used to it. When he was hungry, he would look for his father. Father rarely conjures food.

"Baby is hungry, daddy will cook right away." The gentle voice instantly shattered Mu Qiangguo's tall image. He turned out to be a good daddy who loves his son. Looking at the child in Shen Xi's arms, they all smiled kindly, after all, both parties brought their own children.

"You guys find a place to rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." After walking all afternoon, we didn't eat well at noon, everyone was already hungry, Mu Qiangguo also happened to go to see what other tools there were in the kitchen, and planned to make Come out delicious.

Shen Xi nodded, and several people followed Mu Qiangguo to the outside of the kitchen on the inner side. It happened that the place there was still vacant and no one occupied it.

The old lady Mu wanted to help the eldest son cook together. Mu Qiangguo saw that the old lady's face was pale and she was not energetic, so she asked her to rest and take care of the eldest son. Shen Xi and Mu Jianguo didn't know how to cook at all, so he went in alone. The kitchen was busy, and by the way, he also brought in the food from the car.

There was no food to be found in the kitchen, but there happened to be a stove, which may have belonged to the previous owner, which solved Mu Qiangguo's cooking problem. He simply cleaned up the kitchen, found out what he needed, and took out The rice and some vegetables he brought are long-lasting and not easy to spoil. There are pickles, eggs, potatoes, a big old pumpkin, and a few pieces of old bacon that he can’t bear to eat. He lit a fire with the charcoal he brought. , first wash the rice and cook it in the pressure cooker he found, and then start to process the vegetables. He has no idea of ​​saving food. He has a lot of fresh things in his space, so he just needs to find an excuse to take them out, and there is no need to save anything.

"Father, drink grandma." Mu Xibao ran in with a milk box in his little hand, drinking, and wanted to pass it to Mu Qiangguo.

"Baby drinks it by himself. Now Dad wants to make custard for the baby, so the baby can play by himself." Mu Qiangguo didn't have empty hands, so he just knelt down and kissed his son's face, letting him play by himself.

"Do you want to help?" Shen Xi asked seriously, leaning against the kitchen door.

"No need." Mu Qiangguo said.

Shen Xi was actually worried that Mu Qiangguo might be tired after driving the car all afternoon. Seeing that he was in good spirits, he really didn't need help. Knowing that his lover always cooks delicious food and the speed is fast, he didn't intend to help. .

Shen Xi stood quietly on the side without speaking, nor did she dislike the smell in the kitchen, and silently accompanied Mu Qiangguo, watching him with his eyes, watching him cook the dishes after busy work.

After the rice was cooked, Mu Qiangguo fried the chopped vegetables and it was done quickly.

Mu Jianguo was not idle either. There were quite a few tables, chairs and benches in the room, but many of them were broken, and they were all piled up together.

Shen Xi helped Mu Qiangguo bring out the dishes. The old lady Mu couldn't stay idle, so she went to take out the dishes washed by the eldest son. Mu Qiangguo cooked three dishes, shredded potatoes, pumpkin soup, and boiled bacon in clear water. The ones cut into pieces can be eaten directly, and the two small ones are still steamed with custard. It was a simple dish before the end of the world, but it will be very rich.

The other two people in the room smelled the fragrance in the air, and they all looked at them enviously. They felt even more hungry at the same time, but no one dared to go up to grab anything, and they all sat without moving, but their eyes flicked from time to time. He glanced at the direction of the food.

Although the old lady Mu felt that the elder son's not saving food was a bit extravagant, but she hadn't eaten rice seriously for many days, so she didn't say anything about the elder son wasting anything.

Shen Xi didn't care about other people's opinions at all, as if he didn't notice the reactions of other people in the room.

Mu Qiangguo made food and custard for Mu Xibao to eat by himself. He was so focused on his son that he didn't notice any changes at all.

Just as they were halfway through their meal, there was the sound of a car outside the house again.
