Harassment, Sky Luck, and Real Dreams.

Ding Qiuyun learned first aid in the army, and Chi Xiaochi worked as a nurse for a while in the last world, so the two of them are more than enough to save a child with a fever.

The medicine was quickly put into the child's mouth, and Chi Xiaochi, fearing that it would not be enough, took another bottle of liquor and applied it to the child to cool him down physically.

By the time I was done, it was already dawn.

...... But the brightening is not quite complete.

Thick fog covered, fine frost sprinkled all over, the sky and the earth is uniformly white, the mist seems to have substance, breathe on a mouthful, the lungs are like into the cold water droplets, stimulating people all over the body tingling.

After all, Ding mother is old, and ran on the road in the middle of the night, really sleepy, and clothes sitting in the back seat of the car to sleep.

While she was asleep, Ding's father loosened the front of her winter coat so that she could lie loosely, and draped the thickest coat he could find over Ding's mother.

Mother Ding was awakened by the increased warmth on her body, and just when she wanted to speak, Father Ding covered her eyes, "Go to sleep."

Ding's mother moved to Ding's father's side, drowsily saying, "...... half."

After so many years together, the two could understand each other's meaning, even if it was just two words without a beginning or an end.

Father Ding discussed with Mother Ding, "Listen. If it's half for each of us, neither one of us will have enough to cover it."

Mother Ding rolled over and naturally and skillfully wrapped her arms around Father Ding's neck.

She said, "That's enough."

Father Ding, who was being held by his wife, smiled, pulling the coat she was draped in a third of the way toward himself, "Well, it's enough."

While the old couple is taking a nap in the car, He Wanwan, the new human girl, slips out of the car to go out for a walk, and Yan Lanlan, fearing that she might get lost, follows her down.

Along the way, everyone learns who He Wanwan is.

She was diagnosed with blood cancer when she was four years old, died 30 days ago, and was resurrected 29 days ago, so her appearance has not yet changed significantly, with only some cadaverous spots on her wrists and neck.

While his father and mother naturally felt sorry for the little girl, Yan Lanlan didn't mind either, and even coaxed Wanwan to talk along the way.

Unfortunately, Wanwan, being of an introverted nature and having just suffered the loss of his father, says very little except to explain his family background and argue with Yan Lanlan about whether the baby leopard is a cat or a dog.

Yan Lanlan saw her silence and didn't push her, turning over the corpse stains on her wrist, saying, "This is not pretty. When we get to a safe place, sister will draw you a little flower on it."

He Wanwan's lips twitched lightly as he listened, but he still didn't say anything.

It wasn't until they settled down in the service area that He Wanwan made a move to tug on Yan Lanlan's coat, "Sister, sister."

Yan Lanlan's head and face are wrapped in a thick scarf, and wrapped in two down coats, she is still cold, and is jumping and pawing like a deer in the headlights to keep warm.

When He Wanwan called her, she lowered her head and straightened Wanwan's scarf, white breath coming out of her mouth, "What's wrong?"

He Wanwan looked up at Yan Lanlan.

She whispered a reminder, "...... Blossom."

Yan Lanlan realized, smiled, rubbed He Wanwan's hair, offered to take her hand, looked around, and headed towards the convenience store to borrow a pen.

The door to the convenience store was locked from the inside by a bicycle lock, and could only be barely pushed open a crack from the outside.

She knocked on the door, "Is anyone there."

Soon, a face peeked out from within the shadows of the counter.

The man was chewing on a beef bun taken out of an electric steamer, and as soon as he saw Yan Lanlan's face, he broke into a smile so wide that it made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

He walked to the door and said through the glass, "What's up?"

Yan Lanlan saw the name tag hanging on his chest, surnamed Han, and politely said, "Mr. Han, do you have any pens here?"

Xiao Han grins, "Yes. I have everything here."

Yan Lanlan went to his pocket, where there was another piece of chocolate, "Then I'll use this with you-"

Xiao Han waved his hand dismissively, "You this? I have plenty here."

He tapped his hand on the box full of chocolates sitting on the counter, "Give me something I don't have."

Yan Lanlan thought the man was strange and wary, "What do you want then?"

"Don't you want a pen, just in time, then I'll take yours ......"

He said a very dirty homophone.

Yan Lanlan's face instantly turned red, and he covered He Wanwan's ears at the first opportunity.

Xiao Han laughed heartily, thinking that Yan Lanlan would run away in shame.

Yan Lanlan came back to his senses and leaned down to He Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, do you remember where Uncle Ding went?"

He Wanwan nods and points in a direction.

Yan Lanlan smiled, "Go find your Uncle Ding and keep that sick little brother company. By the way, cover your ears."

He Wanwan covered his ears and pursed his mewling lips at Yan Lanlan.

Yan Lanlan gave a mouthful. Go on, run.

He Wanwan ran away upside down.

Only when he was sure that He Wanwan had covered his ears and run away did Yan Lanlan turn cold and say to Xiao Han, "What did you just say?"

Xiao Han shyly and shamelessly said, "What, you want to give it to me for free."

Yan Lanlan walks quickly to one of the side walls.

A fire hydrant is mounted on the wall.

She opened the glass door and skillfully pulled a fire axe out of it, carrying it over to the glass door.

Yan Lanlan slashed the axe toward the windowsill next to him and pointed it at him, cursing, "Say that one more fucking time? If you have the balls to come out, I'll chop you into ashes right now! Come out!"

Xiao Han was dumbfounded.

Yan Lanlan used the axe to spew a five-minute, non-referential, non-repeated stream of curses not involving his parents, which included threatening gestures such as banging on the door with the back of the axe.

Xiao Han took a look at the short-handled □□ in his hand, instantly mute, as quiet as a turtle, ran to the counter behind the shrinking, not even dare to cough.

Yan Lanlan finished cursing and left with his axe, not forgetting to spit on him before he left, "Stinking hooligan, what a thing, can't even curse, bah, disgraceful waste of chicken."

Xiao Han: "......"

After Yan Lanlan finished his scolding, he took an axe and went to look for Ding Qiuyun.

Chi Xiaochi provided self-heating blankets to wrap the children in and carry them from the car into the house, so they wouldn't have to be cooped up in the car and could at least get some fresh air.

Soon after he sent the medicine down with hot water, the heat went down a bit, and the child woke up and was looking at Chi Xiaochi curiously with grape-like eyes.

Yan Lanlan Tinkerbell huffs in.

Chi Xiaochi looked in the direction she was coming from and guessed roughly what was happening.

Jing Zihua had just crashed at Xiao Han's place, and looking at her expression, there was nothing she didn't understand.

She wrapped her son's head and face in a small blanket and held him in her arms, "Not scared by that little Wang Ba egg, right?"

Yan Lanlan grumbled: "I don't want to talk to him, just to scare him. I didn't realize that he's just a softie, a wimp, and only knows how to play smart, so I'm going to go to him ......."

The words were just about to come out of her mouth when she realized that both children, one big and one small, were staring at her with bated breath, Yan Lanlan immediately changed her words, "...... him a little cookie."

Jing Zihua laughed.

With her son's condition stabilized, she had the presence of mind to ask Chi Xiaochi more about the situation, "How are things where you came from?"

Chi Xiaochi gave a general overview.

As here, all human-related AI systems are all paralyzed.

"Any notification of when it will be restored?"

Chi Xiaochi shook his head.

Jing Zihua temperament is very dry, found the problem, immediately turn the idea to "solve the problem" above: "the army, not even the army is paralyzed, right."

Chi Xiaochi poured the rest of the wine into an empty thermos, took a sip, and let out a spicy "ha".

When Ding Qiuyun was still alive, he waited for more than two years without waiting for any army.

...... But there is always hope, and as long as you can live, the chances of waiting for hope are a little better.

He said, "It should be assembling already."

Chi Xiaochi decides to stay here for the day and designates this service area as his first base, leaving his parents and Wanwan here while he goes out to gather supplies and bring together Ding Qiuyun's original team.

Also, after running all night, it's time for everyone to eat something.

Chi Xiaochi went out, pretended to be busy in the trunk for a while, pulled a whole fresh, ready-roasted lamb out of the barn, got a big soup pot, and woke up his parents and told them to come inside and rest.

After resting for a while, Ding's father regained a lot of energy and accompanied Chi Xiaochi to the service area to break many dead tree branches for warmth.

Ding's father also asked about the origins of the goat and the pot, and Chi Xiaochi used the same rhetoric as when he was shopping, saying that he had originally planned to go on a wilderness survival trip with his friends, and that in addition to the pot and the bowl, he had also stored quite a bit of rice and water, and had a full stock of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

Anyway, it's cold outside, so if it exists in your parents' car, it's even stored in the fridge.

The service area contains the restaurant, which has a cooking robot that has gone on complete strike and has been kicked aside by Chi Xiaochi.

He removed all those electronic cooking facilities, set the iron pot on the stove, opened fire, found that there was not much gas left, and did not skimp much, boned the sheep, took the bones first and stewed on the lamb broth, creamy white fresh broth boiled endlessly, the bones were attached to the fresh meat, floating and sinking.

Chi Xiaochi guarded the fire, the little milk panther guarded him, lying on his shoulder, taking the hot little mouth pursed Chi Xiaochi's ear tip, one by one gently biting, also does not hurt, obviously in pampering.

Chi Xiaochi took the baby milk panther into his arms and span him, realizing that he had grown a little since yesterday.

The little milk panther pecked at his fingertips.

Chi Xiaochi lifts the baby milk panther up and asks, "Do I look like meat."

Baby Milk Panther: "Ow ow ow ow."

After the question, Chi Xiaochi thought it was a silly question and laughed at herself.

The little milk panther tilted its head to look at him, gently cupping and nibbling on his finger, its gray-blue eyes filled with only one Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi began to seriously consider whether, for his own personal safety, he should start cultivating the little leopard's good habit of eating cooked food from today.

The bones in the pot gradually crisped up, and there was boiled marrow melting into the soup, which tasted even better with the addition of some salt and ginger and garlic, and the fresh-smelling heat fluttered the eyelashes wet.

When the soup had reached a simmer, he heated up a whole pot and headed straight for the lounge.

The employee break room and the gas station are still some distance away, so it's not a problem to close the door and light an open flame.

The fire was burning brilliantly, and the wood crackled in the washbasin with a bit of moisture still in it.

This primitive method of heating was effective enough that the entire lounge was toasty warm.

Inside, Chi Xiaochi directly set the iron pot on the basin, made a hot pot, also added a handful of sweet potato vermicelli into it, set up a few large porcelain bowls, told the family to gather around the pot, served soup and vermicelli, and had a hot meal of goat soup.

Mutton is hairy, Jing Yiming fever early, still can not eat, Chi Xiaochi took boiling water hot eight treasure porridge, let the child sweetly eat a full.

The scent of lamb soup curled into the bone-chilling convenience store.

Xiao Han is gnawing on cold, hard bread and spinning around the room to keep warm, with purple spots on his face and hands.

The scent tickled him all over, and he tore a chunk of bread and shoved it into his mouth, only to choke and roll his eyes because he ate too quickly.

He grabbed a bottle of drinking water with the lid open, and violently poured it down, his gums were frozen numb, and he directly sprayed out a mouthful of water.

He covered his cheeks and cursed hard.

...... are fucking waiting for me.

He had just heard the Ding guy talking to his old man through the back window, saying that his family was going to stay here temporarily while the Ding guy went out to get supplies and outside help.

Ding's foot is 5'8", and it seems to be a practitioner, Xiao Han also false him, and afraid of him to rely on force to rob the convenience store, and now heard that he is going to go, Xiao Han, while stealing the joy, but also a bit of a new idea out.

This weather is really weird, and all the AIs have stopped spinning again, so it looks like something big is going on.

If Surname Ding left, only the old and sick were left in the service area, and he could take the opportunity to collect protection money.

Jing Jie's beauty he has long coveted, and that little girl with the hand bell, hot yes, but good-looking ......

A thoughtful Xiao Han takes another bite of bread, only to realize that the part with her saliva on it has frozen.

After the meal, Chi Xiaochi planned his course of action, intending to follow the highway all the way south to the next city to find the Sun brothers from the original team.

As for the object of his mission, Chi Xiaochi did not give it a second thought.

Left and right he had set up a situation and was just waiting for someone to get in the pot.

......

Gu Xinzhi cut the head off of one of the neo-humans before sitting down beside him, rubbing the blood from the backs of his hands and palms all over his shirt, intending to rest for a while before hauling the body away and hitting the back door to throw it out.

This is the second new human to break into a supermarket to rob and kidnap old humans.

Gu Xinzhi doesn't have a problem with kidnapping, it's just that when it comes around, it always comes around to his head.

He was tired of being bothered, so he might as well get a head start.

The old human girl who had narrowly escaped being pulled away huffed and puffed as she walked up to him and couldn't hide a look of trepidation as she thanked him.

...... After all, her rescuer looks more vicious than her perpetrator.

Gu Xinzhi ignored her, one arm pressed into his lap, his eyes closed with the sniper rifle he'd brought from the training grounds before the Calamity struck in his arms.

He's always been a very logical man.

With both of Ding Qiuyun's homes empty and his parents' neighborhood already crawling with man-eating creepers, it seems highly likely that Qiuyun took his parents with him.

Heaven and earth were vast, where would one go to find him.

He didn't dare to gamble on his luck, because his luck had never been good.

When Gu Xinzhi's mother remarried him, she told him at one point, "When you have a father, you have someone who loves you.

Turns out the stepfather was an alcoholic who got drunk and beat up his mother along with him.

At that time, Gu Xinzhi thought, at least he had his mother.

Later, the mother also learned to drink heavily and turned to scold Gu Xinzhi when she was beaten by her stepfather.

Gu Xinzhi thought that his mother had probably been spoiled by his stepfather.

So, at the age of 15, he changed the wiring of an otherwise good electric light, tossed it so that it shorted out when he turned it on, and engineered a gas leak.

My stepfather, drunk and groggy, entered the house, took a strange whiff, and reached for the light switch.

After his stepfather died, he figured everything would always be okay.

Then, my mother's alcoholism became more aggressive and she got cancer at a young age.

Because of this, Gu Xinzhi never wants to count on his luck.

He didn't want to go searching the sky and the earth, he was just willing to wait.

The latter may be a little more promising for him than the former.

He pulled out the communicator with no signal, and the screensaver was a picture of him with Ding Qiuyun.

Gu Xinzhi watched for a while, gradually grew tired, leaning against the wall holding the gun and fell asleep.

Not long after he fell asleep, a familiar footstep rang in his ears.

Gu Xinzhi immediately opened his eyes, and the person who came into his eyes made his heart skip a beat, almost unable to believe that he had been handed such good fortune.

Ding Qiuyun, looking much older, with a gun slung over his shoulder, looked up at the sound of the voice, froze for a long time, and without saying a word, jumped up and embraced him.

The warm, tangible touch made Gu Xinzhi's eyes heat up, and he plunged his hand into the visitor's hair, exerting a fierce effort, hugging and kissing him with a force that made it difficult for the other to breathe.

At night, they were together.

Two dry and cold bodies warmed each other by the warmth of the fire, and the real, solid feeling made Gu Xinzhi feel as if he owned the world, holding Ding Qiuyun's face and kissing it again and again, so as to confirm his presence.

He joined Ding Qiuyun's squad, wandering with him and gathering supplies together.

But Gu Xinzhi gradually realized that something was wrong.

Ding Qiuyun's original squad, which was doing quite well, is dwindling in numbers.

The first to die was a girl named Yan Lanlan, bitten alive by hyenas, and then, one by one, like a lamp blown out.

Gu Xinzhi watched Ding Qiuyun's agony, and although he was heartbroken, he was also a little secretly delighted.

He hates Ding Qiuyun's squad.

To be precise, he hated anyone who got too close to Ding Qiuyun.

It wasn't until Ding Qiuyun was forced by those Neo-humans to split up and flee while he was respectfully surrounded by a group of Neo-humans that he realized that something seemed to be out of his control.

He was held uncontrollably, through the heavy flow of people, toward a circular torture table.

Pushed to the front of the line, his cold sweat exploded in a buzz.

Ding Qiuyun was escorted to his knees in the center of the torture table, tied up, and looked in horror at him among the new humans.

Gu Xinzhi anxiously tried to explain something, but his tongue was so wooden that he couldn't spit out a word.

In the next instant, a flash of light caught his eye.

When he could see what was in front of him again, he was standing in a room with fainting guards on the floor, broken chairs, loose twine, open windows, and shattered sashes.

It was as if the window had magical powers, and although Gu Xinzhi didn't want to get closer, he stiffened his feet and stepped toward the window.

Crossing over to the window, he saw a pool of blood before he saw Ding Qiuyun lying on his side on the ground.

The blood-stained tufts of hair at his temples had been cut when he had cut his own hair a week ago.

At that time, Ding Qiuyun even complained about him and said that he would not let him take care of it next time.

Who would have thought that a prophecy would come true and that he would truly never have another chance.

Gu Xinzhi woke up from his dream in a cold sweat.

It was as if he had spent six months of light in a dream, but when he pressed his watch, he realized that only three minutes had passed.

He let out a sharp breath of relief.

...... Thankfully it was just a dream.
