Good luck with koi carp

It is said to be a resting place, but it is actually an abandoned rural courtyard with only a rusty and damaged iron wall and no houses.

Maybe there used to be a house in this small courtyard, but that house was not strong enough to withstand the devastation of successive waves of earthquakes. When Chili and the others arrived, all they saw was a fairly flat ruin.

This means that the house collapsed so much that it looked flat only when it was laid flat on the ground.

Even the surrounding wall was partially collapsed.

Chi Li's car was parked on top of the ruins, and it was surrounded by iron sheets in the middle, providing a better protection than nothing.

They had no choice but to leave the city and go to the suburbs. After searching for a while, they found such a small courtyard isolated from other places where they could stay. Although this footing was half-real, at least they could have a place tonight. A place to spend the night.

"This is probably a place where people take a short rest, so they built a house all alone." Chili guessed.

"Absolutely." Lian Fu confirmed Chi Li's guess.

Otherwise, generally when they enter a village, they cannot see only one household, but there must be at least several households not far apart.

Therefore, it is more likely that this place is too remote and the owner needs a temporary place to stay, so he just built a small house casually.

It was really made casually. The walls are made of iron sheets, the house is made of clay and some broken wooden boards, and the roof on top is also made of iron sheets. The purpose of staying there for a few days.

But no matter what the reason for this courtyard's existence, it can't change the fact that Chili and the others have to spend the night here tonight.

"Let's repair this wall first."

Chi Li walked over and helped up the collapsed iron fence. Lian Fu and her worked together, one person at a time, to easily erect the thin iron fence. Then the two of them tried to strengthen it so that it wouldn't be so easy to collapse again. Fall down.

If there are zombies coming, the iron fence will definitely not be able to stop them, but this thing is brittle and can make a loud noise with a slight bump, which can serve as a warning. This is why Chili and the others chose to drive in and spend the night.

Chili planned to sleep in the car tonight. Her car was the "house" she wanted tonight.

"I'm going to set up a tent outside."

The mother and daughter of the Chi family wanted to sleep in the car. Lian Fu thought that he was a strange adult man and it was not easy to sleep in the car with them. He thought that he could just set up a tent outside for the night, and he could also keep watch for others. But Chi Li stopped him.

"No, we can sleep in the car. Let's sleep in the car together. It's safer."

Modern society is not an ancient era where men and women should pay attention to generosity. Moreover, it is the end of the world right now. Sleeping outside is too dangerous. Who knows if something dangerous may sneak up in the middle of the night. It is better to sleep in the car together. At least if something happens, they can rely on the car's defense to block it, and they can just kick the accelerator and drive away.

"Is it okay?" Lian Fu didn't dare to agree, and asked again as if to confirm.

"It's okay, as long as you don't snore when you sleep."

Chi Li made a joke and asked Lian Fu to cook while she went to make the bed in the car.

She lowered the back seat of the car and the passenger seat together to form a large bed that was long on one side and short on the other.

Her car is a large model, more than two meters wide and five meters long. The seats can all be folded down to form a rather large bed, which is more than enough to sleep two adults and a child.

For comfort, Chi Li also took out a blanket and laid it on the bottom, leaving two thin quilts and pillows on top. The weather is not too cold now, so this is enough.

These are all original items on the car, so using them directly will not arouse any suspicion.

Chi Li has made the bed here, but Lian Fu hasn't finished cooking yet.

Even if the conditions are limited, after spending a few days with him briefly, Chi Li also knows that he has good cooking skills. Even the simplest instant noodles that can be eaten by heating water, after passing through his hands, the noodles are better than Chi's. Pears soaked by themselves are stronger.

She didn't understand the principle of this, but it didn't stop her from giving him all the cooking tasks in order to eat better food while the two were still together in the team.

In order not to take advantage of others, Chi Li even offered to pay for food, but was rejected by Mr. Lian who was 'helpful'.

In his words, cooking is easy. Even if he doesn't need to prepare Chili's mother and daughter's share, he still has to prepare his own share. It just so happens that he is also very interested in eating, and he will try his best to eat well if he can afford it. Don’t eat poorly. Since you have to cook, it doesn’t matter if you cook more. If you have more people, you can eat more.

Having said that, Chi Li did not miss out on the ingredients that should be given. She is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others.

Lian Fu was obviously someone who had also raided outdoor stores.

Just as soon as he made the bed, Chili saw him take out a bunch of outdoor camping tools from his own space. Tables and chairs were all necessary. The focus was on various cooking tools. He almost owned an entire outdoor room. The kitchen has everything and a pretty complete collection of various seasonings.

Seeing that people were already taking out ingredients, Chi Li couldn't help but asked expectantly: "What are you going to eat tonight?"

"If the conditions are right and the venue is suitable, let's have barbecue." As he spoke, Lian Fu had already taken out a large bag of bamboo sticks.

Is this venue suitable?

Chi Li looked around, silently made a decision, and put an invisible defensive shield on their small courtyard.

So far, there has been no existence in this world that can break through the defense of her shield. There is no need to worry about being disturbed tonight.

"Uncle, can I help?"

After these few days, Xiao Tongtong has become familiar with Lian Fu, a big uncle who was a bit scary to children at first. Now when she saw someone cooking, she took the initiative to run over and ask for help.

"Then you can help with the skewers."

Mr. Lian is not a person who likes children very much, but he is quite gentle towards Xiao Tongtong. When the child asks for help, he will ask her to do some simple tasks for her.

Ask her to help string the marshmallows.

"Marshmallows can work too. Can they be roasted and eaten?" Xiao Nai's voice was full of curiosity unique to children.

Xiao Tongtong is one of those children who learned to speak relatively early. He can basically say anything. Occasionally, when he confirms that the surrounding environment is safe, he also likes to whisper to his mother, but not yet. The method is to say long sentences in one breath, and you have to pause in the middle to continue.

I don’t know if it’s a strange genetic inheritance. Many adults always like to lower their voices when talking to children. Even Lian Fu is no exception. In response to the little guy’s question, he replied gently: “Yes. The roasted marshmallows are delicious, Tongtong will try them later and you will know.”

Chi Li watched their interaction from the side like an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone. To be honest, she thought Lian Fu was an aloof man at first, but later she found out that he was not. In fact, he was quite down-to-earth.

He can cook, has a reliable personality, is measured and considerate, and can always take care of her mood in every detail. He never does anything that makes her feel uncomfortable. He can also help take care of the baby. The key point is that in this apocalyptic world Here, he is strong enough to protect the people he wants to protect.

If she hadn't understood that the two of them were impossible, Chili would have felt that it would be a pity not to marry this man.

This thought just flashed through her heart, and Chi Li quickly put it aside, walked over and sat on the chair that Fu Lian had brought out, and helped skewer vegetables.

The pork skewer chef is still processing it, so we need to wait for a while before skewering it again.

To be honest, Chi Li never imagined that she would be able to eat barbecue in the apocalypse, and the barbecue would be quite delicious, but the actual experience was not bad, and she even had a sense of happiness that she could steal a half-day of leisure in troubled times.

Roasted marshmallows are delicious, this is what Chili and Xiaotongtong agreed upon. However, Chili did not let her child eat too much candy. Seeing her eating one after another, she seemed to be unwilling to stop. Chili only She can show her mother's dignity and order her children to stop attacking the roasted marshmallows with a straight face.

"Don't eat it. You've already eaten a lot. If you eat more, your little teeth will be gone. I can't take you to the dentist now."

Chi Li took away the roasted marshmallows that were still on the plate in front of the child, put them into Lian Fu's hands, and motioned for him to eat them quickly.

As long as the food is gone, the children will no longer care about it.

Then he took a few skewers of vegetables and meat without pepper and put them on the child's plate to indicate that she could only eat this now.

Little Tongtong watched all the marshmallows being eaten by Uncle Lian, then she lowered her head and gave up, and obediently picked up a skewer and ate it.

Like most children, she likes to eat meat more than vegetables, but she is not a picky eater. She just eats the meat first and then the vegetables when there is meat and vegetables in the bowl and they can be eaten separately. .

As long as the child can eat all the food, Chili doesn't care what order she eats. After staring at her and seeing that she eats honestly, she starts eating by herself.

In addition to barbecue, Lian Fu also prepares staple food, which is some pancakes.

Put the ready-made cake on the grill to bake and heat it for a while, then use a knife to cut it in the middle, add various grilled skewers, and eat it together. It is also delicious.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Chi Li took the children to do their daily routine while Fu Lian cleaned up the mess alone.

The sink for washing dishes and pots has been put away long ago, and there are buckets beside it.

She did not shy away from revealing her water power early on, and she showed her companions that she had strength in the early stages of their acquaintance, telling him not to have any bad intentions.

Although he proved to be a good person in the subsequent interactions, Chili still felt that early deterrence was necessary.

After all, it’s normal for people you first meet to distrust each other.

After completing the routine teaching, Chi Li also checked Tongtong's cultivation status.

The little guy has successfully introduced Qi into his body, and even the spiritual energy in his body has accumulated enough to break through the first level of Qi training. However, he has not been able to break through because he has not systematically learned the Qi training method.

It's not that Chi Li didn't teach her, but that the child couldn't read and understand the exercises on her own, otherwise Chi Li would have just thrown a jade slip of the exercises to her and it would have been over.

To guide a child to practice correctly when she is too young, she, as a mother and master, needs to use the method of enlightenment to penetrate the content of the practice into the child's consciousness and help her to forcibly remember the entire practice so that she can learn from it in the future. As I grow older, I slowly learn and comprehend.

The sea of ​​​​consciousness is located in the human brain. As we all know, the human brain is a very complex and fragile existence, and accidents can easily happen if you are not careful. Therefore, Chili must ensure that there can be no interruptions around her during the enlightenment initiation for her children.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, Xiao Tongtong may become a little fool at worst, or become brain-dead on the spot. This is definitely a consequence that Chili cannot bear. It is no wonder that she is more cautious about this matter.

She plans to go to a shelter and settle down temporarily before using this method on her child. In addition, just in case, she will make all preparations to prevent any accidents from happening.

Relying on Chili's ability to produce endless water, everyone took turns taking a bath in the mobile toilet provided by Lianfu at night.

When she saw this for the first time, Chi Li really said that it had been a long time since she had seen it. It was the first time that she knew that there was such a good thing in the world. She blamed her for her lack of knowledge before and not paying attention to collecting related materials.

But it seems that this thing is not sold in ordinary stores, so besides expressing admiration for Lian Fu's thorough preparation, Chili secretly has some additional thoughts.

This man's preparations were so comprehensive that it gave people the illusion that he had been preparing for the end of the world a long time ago.

Could he be reborn?



Chili briefly doubted this, but was quickly dispelled.

Thanks to her divination skills, Chi Li, who was curious, couldn't help but tell someone a fortune, and then confirmed that Lian Fu was not a reborn person. If he was really the kind of person who reversed his destiny, his fortune would be There must be something showing on the image. Since there is no difference, it means he is not.

Therefore, Chili can only explain this person as he loves to collect everything.

After all, she has such a big carry-on space, so I would be really sorry if I didn’t collect more supplies. Didn’t I see that she also loves to stock up?



Just like that, Chili hasn't filled up a storage ring yet.

According to her speculation, Lian Fu's space was very large, larger than her storage ring, but she didn't know how much larger it was.

It was already dark. After taking a shower, Chili went into the car to sleep.

The mother and daughter were shorter and slept behind the driver's seat. Chili slept by the door and little Tongtong slept in the middle.

After Lian Fu had packed up, he climbed up to sleep. In the darkness, Chi Li could clearly feel his movements. She didn't open her eyes, but just stretched out her arms to hug the child and pull her into her arms.

The other party was very measured and tried to sleep as close to the car door as possible, so that when Chili stretched out her hand, she didn't touch anything, almost thinking that there was no other person in the car at all.

But with such a big body, his presence is quite obvious.

I thought that having someone else on the bed would make her sleep uneasy. At least Lianfu thought that Chili would not fall asleep too deeply in front of him because of her vigilance. However, she fell asleep the fastest instead, and even little Tongtong was nestled in her mother's arms. I played by myself for a while before falling asleep.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were sleeping, Lian Fu did not dare to sleep too deeply. Even if he closed his eyes, he always kept a trace of consciousness to pay attention to the surrounding environment to prevent any danger from approaching them but not reacting in time.

Fortunately, nothing happened tonight. Everyone, no, Chili and her daughter had a good sleep.

When he got up in the morning, even though there was no obvious tiredness on Lian Fu's face, Chili still didn't take the seat back, but climbed into the driver's seat as if he was ready to drive.

When she heard the person behind her sitting up, she said without looking back: "You can continue to sleep, I'll drive."

Little Tongtong was still sleeping, with her short limbs spread out and her face flushed. Chi Li couldn't bear to wake her up, so he let her continue sleeping.

Lian Fu had almost stayed up all night and was not polite to Chi Li at this moment. He fell asleep and was not afraid that Chi Li would do something bad to him while he was asleep.    

In fact, the two of them have basically trusted each other these days. This can be seen from Chili allowing Xiao Tongtong to get close to Lian Fu.

The car restarted and headed towards the nearest shelter according to the map.

Maybe it was Chi Li's luck that played a role. They were lucky along the way. They didn't encounter many zombies blocking their way. The road along the way had obviously been cleared, so it wasn't difficult to walk.

They arrived outside the shelter before it got dark today.

This shelter was formerly a large industrial area, which contained many corporate factories and many workers. Correspondingly, various living facilities were also quite complete.

There is even some self-production capability.

The person who built this shelter only needs to organize a team to clean up the zombies inside, and then recruit migrant workers to build a high wall around the outside. This can block most zombies from entering, and have a complete shelter for apocalyptic survivors.

According to the information Chili and the others got from the official team they met on the road, they knew that the shelter was still in a state of under-saturation, and it probably wouldn’t be saturated in the short term, so for the survivors who came to seek refuge, An attitude of unconditional acceptance.

But if they want to live well there, they have to work hard on their own.

The closer the car got to the shelter, the more tense and solemn the atmosphere became, especially after seeing a group of soldiers with live ammunition guarding the gate.

Chi Li was still driving, and Xiao Tongtong followed Lian Fu and sat in the back seat. She opened the car window and took a look at the scene outside, then withdrew her little head and reached forward with her little hands to pull her mother's clothes. Draw some security from it.

Sensing the child's movement, Chi Li asked Lian Fu to help carry the child to her in front of her while queuing up to check in.

Nestled in her mother's arms, little Tongtong no longer felt afraid.

There were not many people queuing up to enter the shelter at this point, and soon it was Chili's turn.

"Do you have your ID card? If you don't have your ID card, just fill out a form, register first, then do a physical examination, and then be quarantined in a single room for twelve hours before you can enter."

The soldier guarding the door came over, knocked on the car window, and briefly explained the procedures for entering the shelter. When he saw a very young child inside, he paused and said, "Children under ten years old can be quarantined with a parent. During the quarantine period, we will help you keep your car and its belongings."

It seemed that he had been questioned too many times before, so he explained a little more: "Don't worry, we have rules and we won't mess with your things."

"We're not worried, here are the car keys, thank you."

Chili and the others got out of the car together, handed the car keys to the soldier, and then took out their ID cards to register at the registration office.

Anyone who enters the shelter for the first time must go through a detailed registration of basic information. After this time, there is no need to register again when you come back after leaving, but routine physical examination and isolation are necessary.

The information registration office is set up in a small room similar to a guard house behind the gate of the shelter. Staff in military uniforms sit inside, and there is even a gun shining with cold metallic luster beside them. The window for registered people to communicate is also welded with iron bars with very narrow gaps. It is absolutely guaranteed that even if the registered person suddenly transforms into a corpse, he will not be able to reach in and attack the people inside, and he may even be shot with a gun.

It seems that this shelter has gone through a lot in the early days of its establishment, and now every detail of the facilities here has been gradually improved after summarizing experience and lessons.

Those who have an ID card can ask the staff to help register on the computer. Those who don’t have an ID card can use other ID documents such as a birth certificate. If you really don’t have anything, just get a form and go to the side to fill it out yourself. For children below, adults will help fill in the form.

Chili brought all the documents with her when she went out, including her family's household registration book, so they handed the documents directly to the staff and waited for them to enter their identity information.

The staff worked quickly, tapping on the keyboard, and asked specifically: "Do you have any special powers?"

It seems that superpowers are no longer a secret.

In this case, Chi Li calmly replied: "Yes, I have awakened the water power."

When the staff heard that she actually had superpowers, they couldn't help but look sideways, and then said: "Then the physical examination must include a superpower test. Has the child awakened any superpowers?"

"No."

"Okay, take this and go over there for inspection."

Handing the two lists to Chi Li, the staff pointed to the room opposite and motioned for them to go over.

It was only after entering that Chi Li discovered that the wall of this shelter was not just a thin wall. It was like an ancient city wall. There was a layer of space inside, where people could conduct military defense deployments, and it could also be used for other purposes.

For example, set up a simple medical examination center or set up an isolation area.

The inspection center is divided into men and women. Chi Li and Lian Fu separated here with their children, and they went to the women's inspection area.

After handing in the order, a young woman dressed as a nurse came over and led them behind a curtain, asking them to take off their clothes and check whether there were any wounds on their bodies.

Chi Li knew that this was a necessary procedure and for the safety of others in the shelter, so she cooperated very much.

"Come on, kid, raise your hands flat, like Auntie does."

The nurse lady first examined Chili and then examined little Tongtong. Facing a child who was rare to see in the apocalypse, her attitude was unconsciously gentler and she spoke softly, coaxing the child to cooperate with the examination.

With her mother by her side, little Tongtong was more courageous and well-behaved. After completing the physical examination very cooperatively, the mother and daughter were taken to another area by the nurse for a blood test.

Knowing that some people would be a little sensitive to blood drawing, the nurse explained before taking action: "The blood test is to conduct a basic health check for each survivor, and also to retain biological samples for convenience. The institute is conducting research on zombie viruses, especially for people with super powers like you, Miss Chi. Your blood is the best contribution to human research."

"You also have a research institute here."

Chi Li does not object to having blood drawn. There is nothing wrong with her body, and the difference in soul cannot be detected with a simple tube of blood. No matter how much the research institute studies her blood, it can only be found. It can be concluded that she is an ordinary human being, at most an ordinary human being with water powers.

The same is true for Xiao Tongtong. Even if she has been practicing for a while, the data displayed by her blood will not be abnormal. At most, it will make people think that this child is quite healthy.

However, the children who can survive the early stages of the apocalypse are basically those with better physical fitness, which is not surprising.

There's not much to say about Chi Li's blood drawing process, except that it was a bit difficult for little Tongtong. After all, it's normal for children to be afraid of injections.

No matter how well-behaved she is, she will inevitably be afraid of needles, and it is expected of Chili that she will cry and struggle.

While holding the child in her arms and letting the nurse draw her blood, Chili coaxed her: "Hey, darling, don't cry anymore. Let's finish drawing the blood. Mommy will give you roasted marshmallows later, okay?"

Ever since she ate roasted marshmallows once, Xiao Tongtong fell in love with the sweet taste with a hint of caramel aroma. She kept thinking about it and asked Uncle Lian Fu to bake it for her again on the road, but Chili didn't want to give it. She ate too much candy and refused to let her go. This time she made the promise just to coax her child.

Sure enough, there was a roasted marshmallow hanging in front of him. As expected, little Tongtong cooperated a little and stopped struggling, but the little tears were still hanging on her chubby little face, which was so pitiful.

The result may be that seeing the child wasn't miserable enough. The nurse who drew the child's blood also reminded her specifically: "Your child is only three years and two months old this year and has not been fully vaccinated. We have a hospital inside the shelter, and children inside All the vaccines that need to be injected into teenagers are in stock. Since there are few children now, there is enough for distribution. According to regulations, every child can go and get vaccinated for free when the time comes. Although it is the end of the world, many vaccines are still useful. It is recommended If so, you still need to take your children there and actively get vaccinated.”

"I understand, thank you."

The nurse didn't mention it, but Chili, who had never raised a child, couldn't remember the vaccine. Now that she was reminded, she would keep it in mind.

Little Tongtong is young, but that doesn't mean that she can't understand what the adults are saying. When she heard that she actually had to get a lot of injections, the little guy's defenses were completely broken and she burst out crying, making Chi Li dumbfounded.

"Wow... I don't want an injection, woo woo..."

"No injection, no injection, no injection now, Tongtong, be good, don't cry anymore." Chili hurriedly coaxed the child, and when she met the nurse's apologetic eyes, she waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.

After she finally coaxed the child, she carried the sobbing little guy to the other side where the superpowers were tested to demonstrate her superpowers.

The way to test your abilities is very simple, just use your abilities against an area.

If you have fire-based abilities, you can release fire. If you have water-based abilities, you can release water. It's as simple as that.

Chi Li was told that the test passed after releasing a stream of water. The specific power division system has not yet been developed in the early stages of the model, so the power test is only to confirm that you really have powers, regardless of the strength of your powers. .

No matter how powerful you are, there will be more opportunities for you to show off in the future, so don’t be in a hurry.

After completing a series of examinations, they were taken into a small room of only two or three square meters.

"This is the isolation room. You need to be isolated here for twelve hours. After twelve hours, there will be no abnormality before you can enter the shelter." The nurse finally led them into the isolation room, locked the door outside, and left.

Through research, people have now discovered that after a person is infected with the zombie virus, he will transform into a corpse within a few minutes to eleven hours, depending on his body constitution and immunity.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, major shelters and bases have set the isolation time to twelve hours, which can ensure maximum safety.

The isolation room has only one door and no windows. There is a communication window above the door that can be opened, but it can only be opened from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside. This should be used to observe the conditions of the isolated personnel inside. use.

This structure is destined to have no light source in the room. Fortunately, there are energy-saving lamps installed inside. The light is on the wall and can be turned on by yourself.

As soon as Chili came in, she opened the door and waited, observing the indoor environment.

There is only a single folding bed in the small isolation room for people to rest, and there is a bedpan in the corner, but nothing else.

Chili sat on the bed holding the child, then took off her coat, wrapped the child up, and coaxed her to sleep in his arms.

After crying for a while, the tired little one started to doze off with her eyes closed. Now wrapped in her mother's clothes and with her mother's scent on the tip of her nose, she soon fell asleep peacefully.

Being alone in the isolation room was a bit boring, but luckily Chili brought her mobile phone.

She took her phone out of her pocket, turned it off, and started playing a silent stand-alone game.

Thanks to the original owner, these games she downloaded really saved her from boredom at the moment.

Chili and the others arrived at the shelter around four o'clock in the afternoon. After a lot of effort and isolation, it was already past five o'clock. After playing a few games, it was almost six-thirty.

It's already dinner time.

Before Chili could think of a way to get something to eat, the communication window was suddenly opened from the outside and a tray was handed in.

"Here's dinner from our shelter, next."

"Thank you."

Chili put the sleeping child on the bed, then went over to take the tray. This was dinner for two people, so it was a little heavy to start with.

The dinner provided by the shelter was very simple, which consisted of two bowls of sweet potato porridge and some pickles to go with the porridge, and two bottles of mineral water for them to drink when they were thirsty.

Although the amount is not much, it is enough to fill up everyone, and when they think about it being provided for free, everyone has no objections.

However, this is a special offer for newcomers, which means that only those who enter the shelter for the first time can get a free meal, so as to prevent them from having to be isolated for twelve hours and hungry when they first arrive.

You will have to prepare your own food for the second quarantine, and you can no longer eat from the shelter.

This rule is written on a board on the wall. You can see it when you look up. Also recorded on it are some rules announced within the shelter, most of which are set to maintain order.

Chi Li just read all the regulations carefully out of boredom, which can be regarded as gaining some understanding of this place.

Now that dinner has been delivered, it’s hard to let the child sleep again.

Chili woke up little Tongtong and fed the dazed little guy.

After feeding her, she saw that she was still sleepy, so she let her lie down and continue to sleep. Today was a special situation, so there was no routine teaching.

After the child fell asleep again, Chili finished her share of the meal, then placed the dinner plate on the other side of the bed, picked up her phone and continued playing.

She had no intention of sleeping and planned to stay like this for twelve hours.

Twelve hours is neither long nor short.

But time keeps moving forward and it will always pass.

When the quarantine time was up, someone came to open the door and signaled Chili and the others that they could leave. However, before leaving, he asked Chili and the others to tidy up the house. If they needed to go to the toilet, they had to take the bedpan to the toilet to empty out the dirt. , wash it and bring it back.

Fortunately, Chi Li had anticipated this, so she didn't go to the toilet at all, and couldn't do it in this environment. Xiao Tongtong simply slept through the entire quarantine without getting up to go to the toilet. (End of chapter)
