Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 308 Chapter 308 On the Road 1
At seven o'clock the next day, everyone got up, pulled out the livestock in the backyard and put them on the carriage, moved all the supplies up, fed them with food, grass and water, and everything was ready.

"Leave after breakfast, and finish lunch in the carriage at noon. Try not to delay. Now that the road is clear, we can walk seventy or eighty kilometers a day."

Ye Fu checked the conditions of all the livestock, they were all healthy, and there was no one to give birth, so they could go on their way with peace of mind.

After finishing the stove in the carriage and placing the bean sprouts in the cage, Ye Fu went to have breakfast.

When they set off, Liang Zi and his parents came over. They wanted to check the condition of the house, and if there was any damage, they needed compensation.

"You guys cleaned up very well." Liang Zi's mother was very satisfied.

"Mom, I told you that there is no need to check." Liang Zi was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, the inspection is very necessary, Liang Zi, we are leaving, take care." Qi Yuan went over and patted him on the shoulder.

Liang Zi nodded, "Pay attention to safety and have a smooth journey. Remember, don't go to Panying Mountain."

"Okay, we remember."

After everyone entered the carriage, the mammoth started to set off. It was eight o'clock, the sky was still gray, the fog was heavy, and a thin layer of frost formed on the road, but it had no effect.

The sound of the wheels creaking, entering the main road of the village, and the mobile car parked outside the patrol house can still be seen.

A patrolman wearing a coat came out to take a look, and asked a few words. Seeing that Ye Fu and Jiang Rong didn't intend to hand over supplies, his expression was a little bad. Jiang Rong stared at him, and the patrolman was frightened. Let go immediately.

"Bah, poor ghost, I have no eyesight."

Walking away, he could still hear the sound of him spitting.

Ye Fu twitched the corner of his mouth, not interested in paying attention to this kind of person.

I gave three catties of sweet potato wine before, it was really greedy.

Walking out of the village, the road became wider and wider. Ye Fu moved a small bench and sat in front of the stove, while Jiang Rong leaned on the low bed. If there was a fork in the road, the mammoth would automatically stop and wait for Jiang Rong to go out to direct the road again.

Looking out from the window, you can also see the mountains and valleys not far away.

As Liang Zi said, there is a village every few kilometers, but as long as you don’t get out of the car, no one will come to stop the car. Occasionally, you will meet patrolmen. Tolls.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when passing through a big village, someone came to stop the car, and someone wanted to detain a few sheep, but was kicked away by Jiang Rong.

The population density of Lanzhou Province is very serious. The further you go, the poorer people live. In some villages, dozens of people live in a dilapidated house with tattered clothes and eat bark and leaves for a living.

But Ye Fu made an important discovery, there are quite a few five-, six-, and seven-eight-year-old children begging here.

Could it be that Lanzhou is not polluted by acid rain, so people here can still conceive and have children?
Looking at the dying old people and children in the thatched huts on the side of the road, everyone was in a bad mood, but when they saw people passing by, they would rush to block the road and throw stones at the carriages and livestock.

"Give me something to eat, give me something to eat." Ye Fu frowned as he looked at the child standing in front of him.

There are also some old people and women who come to cry and beg for food. There is no fear in their pleading eyes, only the desire and ambition for food.

"Go away." Ye Fu and Jiang Rong stepped out of the carriage, took out their crossbows and pointed them at them.

"Go away if you don't want to die."

There are too many people blocking the way ahead, they are holding hands and close together, with three layers inside and three layers outside blocking the front.

"Please give me something to eat. We haven't eaten for a long time. The children and the elderly are starving to death."

"I'm hungry."

"Give me something to eat."

Some people went up to snatch red deer and argali, Ye Fu took out his whistle and looked at them coldly.

She blew the whistle, and the mammoth walked straight forward, regardless of the people in front of her. Seeing that the mammoth was about to step over, those people were frightened and trembling, and some people screamed loudly. Ye Fu ignored it and continued to let the mammoth walk forward. like moving forward.

A few women on the side of the road picked up stones and threw them at the carriage. Ye Fu didn't want to waste a crossbow arrow, so he shot an ordinary wooden arrow, which directly pierced the shoulder blade of the person who threw the stone.

This change frightened people on both sides to dare not move. Qi Yuan and the others all came out and pointed their guns at the people on the side of the road. Seeing so many weapons, those people quickly backed away.

"Help me, I killed someone."

Seeing them fleeing in despair, Ye Fu did not take back the crossbow arrows, until the team left and left those people behind, Ye Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speed ​​up and leave, never stop halfway, there are too many people begging on the road."

The behavior just now was organized and disciplined. They lived on the side of the road just to rob.

"There are many old people and children inside, but the ones throwing stones and shouting slogans are all grown-ups."

After walking two kilometers away, Ye Fu stopped the mammoth and brought everyone together to discuss countermeasures again.

"There will be more and more begging and robbing on the road. Hold these spray bottles. If anyone approaches, spray them immediately. There is an irritating powder in it, and the smell is very pungent. Also, don't give anyone anything, even if it is missing. Elderly and children with broken arms and legs, don't have a sympathetic attack, they may fall into a trap."

Ye Fu took out the spray bottle and distributed it to everyone. The spraying distance of the bottle is three meters, which is enough.

Back on the train and started on the road again, I met more people along the way, there were even toll booths, gas stations, service stations...

The toll booth is to collect materials, including clothes, tobacco, alcohol, seeds, rice noodles...

The gas station can indeed refuel, but there is water in it, and there are transport vehicles and tractors on the road.

There are restaurants and places of entertainment in the service station. Qi Yuan and Fang Ming took a look out of curiosity. It is said that there are billiard tables and massage rooms inside.

"Seeing the truck again, I actually have a feeling of traveling through time and space."

In the evening, everyone camped at a temporary point to rest, and there were several trucks pulling wood and coal behind them.

"Today our target is too big. Everyone in the car is watching us. Now I am really worried about encountering robbers."

"Today, I was really scared to death by those children. Those little children rushed over to grab things without fear of death."

"However, it can also be seen that Lanzhou has a large population. In such a cold day, it is estimated that people will freeze to death and starve to death every day."

Everyone sat around and complained about everything that happened today.

"Why don't we kill half of the argali, I think it's too dangerous to take so many on the road," Fang Wei suggested.

"But they have all come here, it would be a pity to kill them."

"I suggest to cut down some trees and make more crossbows. No matter what, I think I should prepare more weapons. Ye Fu, let me use the whetstone. My knife is a bit blunt."
