Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

Shuanggou Town is located in Henan Province because it is surrounded by rivers on two sides and mountains on two sides.

It is named so because it is surrounded by two deep trenches.

There are only two large bridges leading into the town.

Perhaps it was precisely because this town was poor and sparsely populated that it was not affected by the apocalypse.

Therefore, in Hu Dong's perception, it belonged to the safe category.

Crossing the bridge into town, the most eye-catching building is a Western-style church that looks quite old.

"Look! Isn't there someone standing at the church entrance?" Uncle Liu's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"How is that possible! It's the end of the world... how can people still live in a town?" Su Xing retorted instinctively.

But when he looked towards the church...

To my surprise, I actually saw two elderly people with white hair standing at the church entrance!

He looked like an old man who had stepped out of an old photograph, wearing an old-fashioned cotton-padded jacket, his face covered with wrinkles, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Before he could even wake up and speak, Fang Yuan's voice came through the walkie-talkie:

"Get a few people off the bus and go ask about the situation."

Soon, Zhang Chao got out of the car with the two survivors and walked towards the church entrance, his face showing undisguised tension.

Su Xing looked out the front window of the car and quietly watched the church entrance, ready to deal with any emergencies.

Dozens of meters away, Su Xing couldn't hear Zhang Chao's conversation with the two elderly people.

However, judging from his expression, Zhang Chao was initially very nervous, but then relaxed a lot.

A few minutes later, Zhang Chao waved to the convoy, indicating that he had not noticed anything unusual.

"Nothing's wrong?" Fang Yuan muttered over the walkie-talkie.

Hu Dong then warned, "Although I haven't sensed any unusual aura, everyone should still be careful."

It is said that old people become shrewd, and Hu Dong, as the oldest superhuman in the team, has always been very cautious.

Su Xing didn't say anything, but silently tucked the rune pistol into his pocket.

Hu Dong and Fang Yuan got out of the car, and Su Xing also walked towards the church.

Upon arriving at the church entrance, Hu Dong smiled kindly and said:

"Uncle, are you from Shuanggou Town?"

The old man standing at the church entrance paused, glanced at Hu Dong, and said irritably:

"Brother, who are you calling 'uncle'?"

"This old man is only sixty-three this year, but he looks older than me, doesn't he?"

Hu Dong was momentarily speechless, but finally said helplessly:

"Uncle, I'm only forty-eight years old this year..."

"What? You're only forty-eight!" The old man was clearly shocked, muttering, "Doesn't seem like it..."

"puff……"

Upon seeing this, Su Xing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This drew a resentful look from Hu Dong.

[Negative emotions from Hu Dong +86]

Hu Dong clearly didn't want to dwell on the painful topic of age, so he asked:

"Uncle, have you been living here since the apocalypse? Is this your wife? Are you the only two people in town?"

The old man nodded and said:

"My name is Wu Feng, and this is my wife, Lingling. We have been living in Shuanggou Town since the apocalypse."

"But there are more than just the two of us in town; there are about twenty people!"

As he spoke, Old Man Wu pointed towards the church.

Upon waking up and looking closely, he indeed saw about twenty people busy at work.

Surprisingly, everyone in the church was elderly.

Hu Dong also felt something was off and asked:

"With so many of you living here, haven't you been subjected to any unusual attacks?"

Just as Old Wu was about to answer, several elderly people from the church walked towards him.

The elderly man at the head of the group leaned on a cane, his silver hair meticulously combed.

The old man smiled and said:

"Are you survivors of a convoy that fled here?"

"My name is Tang Zhang, and I am the village head of Lianhua Village in Shuanggou Town. These survivors are all from our village."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

This Village Chief Tang is clearly the one in charge of this group.

Captain Hu narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Village Chief Tang, are you the only elderly people left in the village?"

Village Chief Tang was very polite and explained:

"Yes! To be honest, our Shuanggou Town is very poor! All the young people have gone out to work, so naturally only we old people are left."

"Right when the apocalypse first broke out, some young people did form a convoy and head to the capital..."

"We old bones would only be a burden if we went, so naturally we stayed."

Hu Dong nodded slightly; this argument did hold water.

The older generation is attached to their homeland and unwilling to move around, so it's understandable that they want to be buried in their hometown.

But Hu Dong still had a question in his mind, so he asked:

"Village Chief Tang, how did you twenty people survive? Weren't there any unexpected attacks?"

Village Chief Tang gave a wry smile and said:

"Why is there nothing wrong?"

There are several in the center of town! But they don't come to the outskirts of town.

"So we old folks settled down in the church."

Su Xing listened, then suddenly asked:

"So what are you eating? Twenty-odd people have been living together for over a month; I'm afraid there might not be enough food?"

After hearing this, Village Chief Tang hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"Come with me."

Village Chief Tang led the group to the back of the church.

Only then did everyone realize that there was an acre of farmland behind the church, with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even vegetables such as cabbage and eggplant growing in it.

The most amazing thing is that the farmland was not affected by the wind and snow outside, even though the temperature was already minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius.

The farmland was warm as springtime, providing an excellent growing environment for crops.

This farmland doesn't look normal at all!

Su Xing and Hu Dong exchanged a glance, seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Su Xing immediately thought of the rice paddy outside Qingxi Town.

That eerie, man-eating rice paddy still leaves a deep impression on him!

Hu Dong frowned and asked:

"Village Chief Tang, in this sub-zero weather, don't you find this farmland strange?"

Su Xing originally thought that these people living in the church had never left the town and were unaware of the outside world.

Unexpectedly, Village Chief Tang said directly:

"This farmland is unusual."

"However... this is not a bad thing, but a divine grace bestowed upon us by the Lord!"

Village Chief Tang clasped his hands together, performed a devout religious ritual, and then explained:

"Most people in our Shuanggou Town are religious."

"When the apocalypse first broke out, we were also attacked by unusual forces, and many people died."

"But we old folks who survived discovered that those strange things in town didn't dare come to the church."

"So we hid in the church area and survived."

After a pause, Village Chief Tang pointed in the direction of the town and said:

"Go a few hundred meters further into the town, and there's a grain and oil station."

"We found a lot of food there and ate for more than ten days."

"But we have more than twenty people, and the food will soon be insufficient..."

"So someone suggested planting some vegetables and whole grains in the field behind the church..."

Su Xing sensed something strange about it and couldn't help but say:

"Wait, you mean...?"

"These crops in the fields are ripe in less than a month?"
