Chapter 371: The Lucky Man Whose Golden Finger Was Taken Away by the Reborn Girl in the End of the W
"Wife, you and Mr. Bai go sit down and rest. I'll cook."
Mrs. Qu looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, and finally pulled Aunt Bai out of the car.
Gu Ma patted her hands and said, "Just be open-minded. In today's world, you don't know what will happen tomorrow, so live one day at a time.
We might even die someday, and by then it will be too late to regret."
Qu Ma knew that she was thinking of Gu Yuning, so she patted her hands without saying anything.
In the afternoon, except for Jing Nanqing, everyone else came back happily, and as soon as they arrived, they told everyone how great the base was.
The base commander was so fair and just that he only brought it up at the last moment.
"Boss Xu, why don't you guys stay here instead of leaving?"
Shuangshuang still shook her head, "No, thank you for your kindness."
Seeing that they couldn't persuade them, those people finally thanked Shuangshuang and the others.
"Boss Xu, thank you for your protection along the way. It allowed us to find a safe base. I wish you a safe journey to the capital!"
They both nodded. "You too, may you live happily ever after!"
When Jing Nanqing came back, Shuangshuang asked him, "How is the situation in the capital?"
Jing Nanqing frowned, "We have been able to contact them, but the situation is not optimistic.
There are disasters happening all over the country now, and everyone is helpless.
The orders could not be conveyed and there were no relief supplies.
Anyway, until order is restored, everyone can only rely on their own efforts."
They both nodded and said nothing more, and everyone remained calm.
After all, the end of the world has been going on for so long, and everyone knows what’s going on.
But when Qu Ziqian saw Jing Nanqing and the others coming back, he directly suggested that everyone leave early.
"I think there are too many uncertainties staying overnight near this base. Who knows if those scoundrels will target us?
If a conflict arises, even if it's legitimate defense, the other base will have to protect their own people, so there's nothing we can do. So it's better to leave early."
Qu Ziqian's proposal was agreed by everyone, and he drove away quickly.
Although all obstacles on the road were cleared, many people still came to seek refuge after hearing the news.
Even if they didn't drive, they would walk carrying their belongings. The dense crowds of people occupied the road, so no one could move fast.
It was not until they arrived at a slightly more open place that Jing Nanqing's car in the front made a gesture with a red cloth from the window.
Everyone followed him, slowly pulling out of the traffic and stopping.
At this time, those who had previously sought a place to survive stayed in that base.
Only Shuangshuang and Jing Nanqing's team are left, and then there is Qu Shaohua.
His brothers also decided to stay in the base. The road was too dangerous. They wanted to settle down and were unwilling to take risks again.
The road was very smooth after that, because of the flood, many cars became scrap metal and could not be used.
After such a long time, the car on the road could not find oil and had to be abandoned helplessly.
Therefore, apart from having to push the car out of gas from time to time, or the mutated animals and plants appearing to do evil from time to time, everything else was relatively smooth along the way.
Two months later, the group arrived at the entrance of a tunnel.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they had never been to the capital, they knew about the nationally famous tunnel.
When we got here, we knew we were not far from the capital.
Everyone wanted to make a concerted effort and get to the capital as quickly as possible.
Jing Nanqing's car in front turned and prepared to stop.
Qu Ziqian opened the car window and asked, "Did something happen?"
At this time, the thin man had already opened the car door and ran over.
"This tunnel is quite long. Our boss said it's not safe to go through it at night, so we thought we'd rest early and go through it during the day tomorrow."
After hearing this, Qu Ziqian did not respond. Instead, he turned his head to look at Shuangshuang and Gu Mingkai. Seeing that they nodded, he turned around and stopped the car.
Needless to say, Qu Shaohua followed closely in his son's footsteps.
There were already some cars parked on the roadside, and some pedestrians carrying luggage. Most of them were residents of the nearby temporary base.
Everyone picked up firewood and started cooking.
Seeing this, Qu Ziqian excitedly suggested, "Glasses, dried fish. It's still early today, why don't we not cook tonight and just barbecue with firewood? What do you think?"
Both of them had no objection, and Gu Mingkai would not refute Qu Ziqian's words.
So, Qu Ziqian quickly climbed onto the roof of the car and moved the barbecue grill out.
The two aunts were preparing food for the barbecue.
The apocalypse has been going on for so long that other vegetables have long been gone.
I did manage to harvest some potatoes and radishes on the way, as these don't spoil easily.
There are also some chicken, duck, fish and meat that Shuangshuang puts into the refrigerator from time to time.
The rest was just the bacon of mutant animals that were occasionally found along the way.
Qu Shaohua volunteered to be the head chef.
While marinating the meat, he also showed off his achievements to Qu Ma.
"Honey, I'm the best at barbecue. I'll let you taste it first when it's ready."
Qu's mother didn't say anything. After so long, the two of them had already established their own way of getting along.
Qu Shaohua doesn't need his wife to pay attention to him. He can entertain himself and please his mother by himself.
Seeing what Shuangshuang and the others were doing, Jing Nanqing also shamelessly asked the thin man to bring some things and two bottles of wine over.
"Uncle Qu, since we're having a barbecue, why don't we also bring some food so we can all have some fun together? What do you think?"
Qu Shaohua looked calm and cheerful.
"I'm not the owner. I'm just helping out."
The thin man immediately reached out to touch Qu Ziqian who was standing next to him. After so long, he had figured out the personalities of these people.
If you want to integrate into Shuangshuang and the others, Qu Ziqian is the best breakthrough point.
Sure enough, when Qu Ziqian heard him say that he wanted to partner up, he nodded very readily.
"Okay, let's all come together."
Qu Shaohua stood in front of the barbecue grill and started working, while the thin man Qu Ziqian and the bald man surrounded the grill to help.
Everyone else was waiting on the side. For a while, the years were peaceful and quiet, and everyone forgot the suffering that this natural disaster brought to everyone.
The first skewer of grilled beef was cooked, and Qu Shaohua took it and went to Qu Ma without paying any attention to the things on the barbecue stall.
"Wife, please try it and see if my cooking skills are right."
Qu's mother looked at Qu Shaohua, then at the barbecue, and finally stretched out her hand with reserve.
Qu Shaohua immediately smiled happily, finally making progress.
The accident happened in an instant. Suddenly, the earth shook and rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain.
Cracks suddenly appeared on the ground.
Shuangshuang only had time to hold the baby in her arms, and then someone pulled her behind them, and she barely escaped.
Then the crack closed quickly that day, just like the crack on the day before was just an illusion.
