Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 172 Cold girl, the temperature rises
There was only one cleared road, so once the carriage left the greenhouse area and headed onto the main road, Bai Li got into the carriage and no longer stood outside in the cold.

Dahong is smart and won’t go the wrong way.

The current carriage is no longer the one that was hastily assembled before. It is a proper wooden carriage with windows built by Bai Xiangtian and two carpenters. After painting, they found sponge pads to put inside and covered them with leather. They also fixed long chairs and made cushions on the chairs, making them as soft as sofas.

Because it was pulled by two horses, the carriage was built quite large, and the space at the back was more than enough to store luggage.

There is an iron frame fixed in the middle, with a mini iron stove inside. It was also made by Bai Xiangtian and someone else. Charcoal was added to the stove, and there was a small kettle on top.

When Bai Li came in, Professor Leng was pouring hot water into his cup and handing it to his daughter to warm her hands.

Seeing Bai Li come in, he quickly took her cup, poured hot water into it and handed it to her.

Then he introduced his daughter and Bai Li to each other.

Different from the cold and indifferent attitude she had shown towards her classmates before, Leng Hanyu looked very shy when facing Bai Li. When she smiled, there was a small dimple on the left cheek, which made her look a little shy.

Although they just met, Bai Li likes this girl's personality very much.

kill?
It's the end of the world. In order to survive, who doesn't have a few lives on their hands?

Not to mention a girl like Leng Hanyu who looks weak and pretty. If she hadn't killed anyone, no one knows what would have happened to her.

But the old father, Professor Leng, still wanted to explain for his good daughter, "Actually, my daughter has a reserved personality. She has never quarreled with anyone since she was a child. If she wasn't pushed to the limit, she would never kill anyone."

Bai Li said nonchalantly, "I have killed before."

Well, we killed quite a few, too many to count.

Then he explained, "Jiang Minglang was not at home when the zombie virus broke out. I came back from Sucheng with my son by myself. I couldn't get home without killing someone. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone wants to steal our things and take our lives, should I just sit there and let them rob me?"

I don’t know if the last sentence touched Miss Leng’s heart. She seemed to have found a confidant. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and when she looked at Bai Li, it seemed as if there were stars twinkling in them.

She said, "Before the zombie virus broke out, I was preparing to participate in the competition. I was either in the library or in the dormitory during those days. In order to save time, I stocked up a lot of snacks and self-heating hot pot rice. My two roommates wanted to lose weight, so there was nothing in the dormitory except for some fruits. I gave them each some food during the first few days of being trapped, but later I stopped giving them food when I saw that the situation was not right. They didn't want to, so they wanted to snatch it by force. During the argument, I accidentally pushed one of them off the balcony, but it was not my fault, because they wanted to push me down. If I died, they could share my food equally. So I got ruthless and smashed one of them's head, and pushed the other one off the building."

There were four people in the dormitory. Leng Hanyu didn't mention Jiang Caiping. Judging from her expression, she was disdainful to mention this person again.

Bai Li praised, "Well done."

Professor Leng's eyes were red with heartache. He put his arm around his daughter's shoulders, not knowing what to say.

Leng Hanyu smiled carefreely, "It's okay, Dad. Think of it this way. If I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, I wouldn't have resisted and wouldn't have been so strong. You should be proud of me. In the future, I can not only protect myself, but also you."

It’s just that mom can’t protect me anymore.

Of course, the first thing Leng Hanyu went to after returning to Pengcheng was to go home, but there was no one in their community. The door of her house had been pried open and the house was in a mess. Except for the furniture and appliances, the entire house was almost emptied.

Later, Li Nan met a neighbor in the greenhouse area of the community, who told her that her mother had turned into a zombie and had been cleared out.

Thinking of their mother, both the father and daughter felt heavy-hearted.

Kang Wentao couldn't help but think of his wife and daughter, and the atmosphere in the car was a little depressing for a moment.

After a while, Bai Li coughed lightly, then changed the subject and asked Leng Hanyu, "Are you a water element?"

Leng Hanyu widened her eyes in surprise, "Sister, how did you know that?"

Bai Li smiled and pointed at her fair and delicate cheeks, saying, "You don't put anything on your face, you just wash your face in the middle of winter, and your skin is not dry or rough, but also smooth and white. Look at your classmate, her skin should have been good before the end of the world, but now it's so rough, didn't you notice it?"

Who has the time to pay attention to such trivial matters?

Leng Hanyu stretched out her rough and slightly frostbitten hand to show Bai Li, "In order to avoid trouble, just like registering a fake name, I don't want to expose my special ability, so I have to complete the tasks assigned by General Manager Li every day. There are two people in our hospital, but Jiang Caiping can't even do half the work, so in order to complete the task, I have to work hard. I am so tired every day, how can I have the energy to pay attention to other things?"

At this point, Leng Hanyu seemed to remember something. Every night when she washed her face and went to bed at home, Jiang Caiping always looked at her strangely. She remembered that once she even rummaged through her schoolbag and asked her if she had hidden any skin care products.

Leng Hanyu was completely confused at the time, but now she understood why she said that.

So, the skin of water-based mutants is more watery than that of other people even in extremely cold climates?
Leng Hanyu seemed to be thinking about something. Fortunately, she usually covered her face when she was working and only took off her scarf when she got home. Therefore, only Jiang Caiping knew that her skin was different from others.

Of course, Jiang Caiping also knew that she had superpowers, but she didn't want to be discovered even more than she did.

Because people with special abilities are different from others in terms of where they live and how they are treated.

Leng Hanyu knew her own limitations. She could deal with ordinary people with her ruthlessness, but she might not be able to deal with people with special abilities. She didn't want to be in an environment that she couldn't control, so even if people with special abilities were treated better, she didn't want to go.

In order to continue clinging to her, Jiang Caiping didn't want to let her go.

So on Li Nan's side, except Jiang Caiping, no one knew that she was a water-based mutant.

Bai Li understood her caution very well.

The carriage rumbled and finally arrived at Yunxi Village two hours later.

After moving Leng Hanyu's things into the yard of Professor Leng and his two companions, Bai Li drove the carriage back to Baiguo Garden.

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun looked like it was about to set.

Hearing the noise, Bai Xiangtian walked out of the house quickly. He first checked whether the two horses had any problems. He then asked about their health and asked if they were tired, cold or hungry.
All the questions are about horses.

Bai Li curled her lips and went straight into the house.

With her father taking care of them, the two horses are comfortable and have no problems at all.

The sun was setting outside, but a small sunroof was on in the living room, creating a warm atmosphere.

Jiang Minglang stood at the door waiting for his wife to come in. While helping her take off her coat, he asked, "Is everything going well?"

"We found Professor Leng's daughter. I heard that his wife turned into a zombie when the apocalypse first came. We didn't find any of Kang Wentao's wife and children."

Only after entering the living room did Bai Li see that Li Nan and Wei Lichuan were both there.

"sister in law."

"sister in law."

The two greeted her, and Li Nan raised the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "The tea here is much better than mine. I just told Captain Jiang to give me a pack."

"You can share as many bags as you want, but there is a prerequisite."

Bai Li and Jiang Minglang walked back to the sofa and sat down. She talked about her earlier plan, "There is a paper mill in Huacheng. I went there once before the heavy snow. The machines inside are still in good condition. Look." She looked at Li Nan, and the unfinished words were very clear.

Li Nan is a businessman who runs a factory and he is professional.

"Paper mill"

Li Nan held the tea in his hand and thought to himself that women are delicate. Shouldn't people's concern nowadays be about having enough food, drink and warm clothes?
Paper or something, who cares.

Jiang Minglang seemed to see what Li Nan was thinking. He said, "We have now returned to the time before liberation overnight. Think about it, will paper be a scarce commodity in the future?"

Paper mills don't just produce toilet paper, they also produce A4 paper and various notebooks. In today's world where mobile phones and computers are scarce, notebooks have become a necessity.

"Mr. Li, industry will recover sooner or later. You are so capable, it is impossible for you to only focus on agriculture."

"Hey, Captain Jiang, don't flatter me. It's not difficult for me to manage a factory, but I don't have enough manpower."

"It's okay. When you recruit workers, our people can go too."

"Nara Machine."

"I'll send someone to go with you, okay?"

Li Nan was satisfied and agreed to wait a few days until the temperature warmed up and the snow melted before going to haul it.

Bai Li stood up and took out four bags of tea from the cabinet nearby, each weighing two taels. Li Nan and Wei Lichuan each took two bags.

"There's news about Qiao Fei. He found his brothers in the team, but he only found ten of them. The others were transferred away, and some died."

It's really not worth it to die at the hands of your own people.

Because of this, the ten people wanted to follow Qiao Fei as soon as they saw him. Now the group has left Jinbei, but was trapped on the way due to heavy snow. However, Jiang Minglang believed that they would be fine and would definitely return safely.

Wei Lichuan came here just to deliver this message.

By the way, I also talked about Che Tao and his group. I learned from the leader that one and a half months after leaving Pengcheng, they finally arrived in Kyoto yesterday afternoon.

"Meng Yanfeng knew about my sister-in-law's special ability, and he reported it to Commander Che as soon as he returned."

It is still unknown how those people above will view Bai Li in the future, but because Jiang Minglang insisted on staying in Pengcheng, and Qiao Fei's men only left a report and left Jinbei directly.

I think the higher-ups would be very angry.

Of course, there is no point in being angry now. The heavy snow has blocked the roads, and the water outside has frozen into ice. There is no way to do anything.

Bai Li frowned. She really didn't expect that one day she would be remembered by the big shot who seemed out of her reach before.

She is just a wood type, which is nothing in Kyoto where there are talented people everywhere, right?

Jiang Minglang held her hand and signaled her not to be afraid.

The situation above hasn't stabilized yet, but even if it did, they wouldn't rashly take action against the couple.

Just wait, there will always be conditions to negotiate in the end.

"By the way, Captain Jiang, I heard about Yu Chengping. Where do you think he is?"

This was the third piece of news that Wei Lichuan came to inform him of, "This grandson actually went to the Western Base to be the deputy base commander. The base commander's surname is Jia, you know who he is, right? He is his brother-in-law."

Jiang Minglang narrowed his eyes. He had previously asked Wei Lichuan to find Yu Chengping through his contact information in Kyoto, but he couldn't find him.

I thought he was scared and hid on purpose to avoid being discovered.

original
How can such a person be qualified to be the head of a place? Even if he is the deputy.

"The West"

"Yes, the location is Hongshi Bay. You know that place. There is a large air-raid shelter that was built in the past. It can accommodate at least 5,000 people. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for the current extremely cold weather. That leader Jia left Kyoto in time and went to Hongshi Bay. It was a good choice."

Wei Lichuan seemed to be unaware of Jiang Minglang's plan, and he just kept talking about all the information he got from Kyoto about Hongshi Bay. "The air-raid shelter was fenced off before and no one was allowed to enter. Now it is not only open, but a bungalow has been built next to it, with a wall and barbed wire. When Leader Jia went there, he brought four guard teams. I heard that he was given one to protect Yu Chengping. Each guard team has 200 people, and at least 20 of them have special abilities."

After that, the three of them discussed how to deal with the problem of snow, and then Jiang Minglang sent them away.

At night, Bai Li was lying on the bed and asked Jiang Minglang, "You don't want to go to the Western Base, do you?"

"If Yu Chengping has been there, I will definitely go there."

He comforted Bai Li, "Don't worry, I cherish my life very much and won't let anything happen to me."

That being said, he has a whole team of guards protecting him. Those people come from the same background as he does.

Bai Li closed her eyes and sighed, because Bai Li also knew the brothers who died in Yu Chengping's life. They were in their twenties, very young. When Qiqi was five years old, they went to Sucheng. At that time, they called her sister-in-law. Thinking about it now, it seems like it happened yesterday.

She whispered, "If you feel comfortable, I can go with you."

She can now control the vines through the air up to a distance of 200 meters. Using the green vine's "eyes" to gather information is silent and works better than anything else.

Jiang Minglang thought about it and felt that if his wife went, it would indeed be a great help to him.

"Then we'll wait for Qiao Fei to come back. With him and the people he brings guarding this place, we can rest assured."

"But your son may not be able to throw it away."

"If you can't throw it away, just take it with you. You're nine years old, and you can fight."

".Tell this to dad and grandpa."

"."

The low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius continued for about a month, and at the end of March, the temperature finally rose to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

On April 1st, Qiao Fei finally returned to Yunxi Village with his men and Jiang Minglang's five teammates.

In mid-June, the temperature finally rose above zero, and the villages and cities covered with snow finally revealed their true appearance. All things revived, and the barren fields revealed withered yellow grass and green sprouts.

The mutant animals, who had been hungry for a long time, quietly poked their heads out of the cave, eager to explore the outside world.
good night!
