Chapter 45 Jingyuan and Plan

The sun was approaching sunset again, and Jingyuan spent a lot of time in Shunxiang Supermarket, staying there from early morning until evening.

He took Xiao Yun'er and sat down by the eaves, looking at the distant sky, where the huge red sun was slowly falling.

Next to him were the collapsed ruins, and not far ahead, a few zombies stood there in a daze.

Because of my poor eyesight, I couldn't clearly see their rotting faces. From a distance, they looked like pedestrians passing by.

The glass curtain wall made up of skyscrapers reflects orange-red light. This rare moment of tranquility is like Jingyuan lying on the wheat haystacks in the farmland when he was a child, quietly watching the sunset, counting the numbers silently in his heart, wondering if he could count.

It will get dark in a few days.

He never counted a result because his mother would always call him home for dinner before dark.

At this time in my memory, the air is always filled with the pleasant smell of cooking fumes, the frying pans are exploding, and smoke is floating on the roofs of every house.

"Are you homesick?" Jingyuan turned to look at Xiao Yun'er.

She held the luminous pearl in both hands, and she put the gold necklace on top of the luminous pearl.

When she heard Jingyuan talking to her, she turned around and tilted her head. Seeing that Jingyuan made no other moves, she stared at Ye Mingzhu again.

Jingyuan stood up, it was time to leave, there was no way he could stay in the supermarket overnight.

He didn't want to sleep among the zombies, nor did he want to lie on the hard, wet cement floor, blowing the cold wind coming in from the cracks in the wall.

Suddenly he wanted to take a walk nearby, but being alone was a bit boring, so he stretched out his hand to Xiao Yun'er.

She held her hand naturally, as if the two were already very familiar with each other, but in fact, this was only her third meeting with Jingyuan.

She is too simple. Although she has great power, in terms of mental age, she is just a child.

Jingyuan held her hand and walked towards the outside of the supermarket.

Under the eaves of the supermarket again, she stopped again, broke away from Jingyuan's hand, and retreated into the shadows.

Jingyuan raised her head and glanced at the crooked signboard of Shunxiang Supermarket. This was the twelfth time she had rejected her invitation.

"Then let's walk around the supermarket." Jingyuan no longer forced her and took her for a walk slowly around the half-collapsed supermarket.

But halfway through, I had to go back the same way because the collapsed concrete wall blocked the way.

Back in front of the supermarket, Jingyuan picked up his travel bag and gestured to her.

"I'm leaving. If I'm free tomorrow, I'll come see you." Jingyuan pointed outside and made a running motion with his fingers.

The last time he left, he also made this gesture. It seemed that she still remembered it. She realized that Jingyuan was leaving and finally let go of the night pearl that she couldn't put down.

Jingyuan picked up a bucket of drinking water and walked outside.

She blocked the road in front of Jingyuan, and Jingyuan touched her forehead and took out a notebook from his bag and gave it to her.

It was a little book he drew in the afternoon. It recorded the whole process of polishing the eggplant knife with Xiao Yun'er. He drew it for dozens of pages. The last page of the book contained the family photo. Jingyuan was afraid that she would see it.

My mood fluctuated again and I took away the photo.

Opening the book to show her, Jingyuan chose to sneak away while she was in a daze.

If she looks at her like that again, maybe I will really soften up and stay.

In fact, Jingyuan didn't want to leave her alone in the supermarket. He had thought of taking her away and at least helping her find a place to live that wouldn't be leaky.

But she didn't want to leave, no matter what.

In other respects, she is easy to coax, but once Jingyuan tries to tempt her to leave Shunxiang Supermarket, she will immediately become alert and retreat as before.

It seems that she has decided that this is her home.

She has lived in the supermarket for many years. Jingyuan does not understand her way of survival, but obviously, she does not need her own help to survive.

Come to think of it, even though I was afraid of her at first, I actually didn't have any trouble getting along with her at all.

And to be honest, she is quite cute, her appearance is cute, and her silly and cute way of thinking is also cute.

But Jingyuan's lifestyle is completely different from hers, so they have to be separated sometimes.

As the saying goes, inappropriate people are just inappropriate. Some people are just suitable for eating, drinking and having fun together.

I still have to prepare for moving for the winter. I just need to come here occasionally to see her and play with her. It's impossible to stay with her every day.

At 6:21 in the evening, Jingyuan opened the door of 707.

Xiaobai rushed over and jumped around him.

"Did you listen to me and go to the toilet to poop?" Jingyuan rubbed his dog's head hard and looked around the hall.

Very good, no poop patches were seen.

After adding dog food to Xiaobai's bowl, he turned on the radio to play music, humming and heating hot water.

"Run, Xiaobai, start running!"

Jingyuan played with it with a flying disc. It really liked this entertainment method of picking up things and kept playing until dark.

After Jingyuan had eaten and drank, he took out the map and studied it.

Tomorrow, he is going to explore the southern suburbs of the border area.

To be more precise, it was to find a road that could smoothly reach the southern suburbs.

6 kilometers is neither far nor close.

However, this is only a straight-line distance. According to Jingyuan's experience, it is generally said to be 6 kilometers on the map, but the actual distance may be 7 or 8 kilometers, and it is inevitable to take a detour.

If the road conditions are good, Jingyuan can definitely reach his destination within an hour by riding a bicycle.

Of course, this is only the most ideal situation.

In actual implementation, you may encounter many problems, such as a road somewhere that may have been bombed, or a large group of zombies gathering to block the road.

However, Jingyuan is not in a hurry. Winter is still two or three months away, so there is plenty of time to use.

The plan is to spend two to three days exploring the route first, and then conduct an on-the-spot investigation of the environment in the southern suburbs.

Within a week, find a place close to a water source, with high terrain, enough trees and plants around, and fields where you can cut firewood and grow vegetables.

A house was cleared there as his first base and main base.

Safety and comfort are the first factors.

The second factor is transportation conditions. He does not plan to find a place to live in seclusion for the rest of his life. It is just his logistics base. Once the home is built, he will definitely start exploring other places in the city to seek opportunities for evolution.

But that is in the future. This winter, the first goal is to survive. He is not familiar enough with the city, so he does not want to explore in harsh environmental conditions. Before it snows, he needs to collect enough supplies for the winter, and then

Nestled in the shelter, waiting for the arrival of spring.

In the future, he may establish second and third base areas in other parts of the city.

For example, Building 707, Building 3, Shili Sunshine, is very suitable as a backup base. He can store some living supplies here and spend the night in this house if necessary.

But that's all for another day, after all, he hasn't even built the first base.
