Qi Mingyu then said, "Wanwan, it's just a hunch. You have a crush on her, but next time you see her, you must be careful and be on high alert! She's not an ordinary person!"
Zhou Shuwan thought about it and felt that the Xue Wuwen he met in this life seemed to be very different from the Xue Wuwen he met in his previous life.
It's like two different people!
She had always thought that the reason why Xue Wuwen had such a temperament in her previous life was because her mother-in-law gave her to a man to earn money for sleeping with him, and her temperament suddenly changed.
But think about it carefully, what if this is not the reason?
So, what causes a person to have a completely different temperament?
Not only Zhong Tiyun, the hairs on Zhou Shuwan's back also stood up.
After driving towards the northeast for a few hours, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu switched positions.
The family had lunch there as well.
Zhou Shuwan took out a few bowls of wontons, some meat buns, a plate of beef, and a plate of boiled eggs from the suitcase.
There were also a few chocolates and a few bottles of Red Bull.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone felt refreshed and quickly drove off again.
They were already moving further and further away from the city, and were no longer heading towards Jiyun Mountain.
Perhaps because they were far away from the area where the survivors lived, they were walking in remote areas all the way and saw scenes that they could not normally see in the city.
For example, because the main road was difficult to walk on, Zhou Shuwan turned into a small road, and then turned several times to reach an unfamiliar section of the road.
In a shantytown near the roadside, I saw men and women being driven like slaves to pull goods. Behind them was a man who looked like an overseer, whipping them viciously, and the sound of the whip cracking was piercing my ears.
The enslaved people had numb expressions on their faces. They didn't even look up when they heard the car starting up, but just worked numbly.
The supervisors and the people living in the shanties heard what was going on in the car and came over to watch.
Qi Mingyu gave a gun to Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu, and the four of them fired in four directions at the same time.
The deafening gunshot startled them, and when they came to their senses, Zhou Shuwan had already stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
After the car drove a long way away, Zhong Tiyun said with lingering fear: "What's going on? This shantytown looks like the old society."
Outside of areas governed by the government, such restoration of the old social hierarchy and enslavement of human beings is very normal.
Otherwise, how can it be called the end of the world?
"Wanwan, drive west."
Qi Mingyu took out a compass, identified the direction, and said to Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Shuwan nodded and drove in the right direction.
Because he had made a mistake once, Qi Mingyu then carefully looked at the map and compass to point out the direction for Zhou Shuwan.
It was not until evening, when it was almost dark, that they finally reached a village.
This is where the new base is being built.
This village is the residence of the original villagers and the first batch of builders brought by Xiao Xiao.
After getting off the car and looking into the distance, you can see endless fields, but because the fields have all been destroyed by acid rain, it looks like a barren land.
Zhou Jianghai was very familiar with this place. He pointed to a place not far away and said, "There is a river passing by there. The land here used to be very fertile."
The new base was chosen here probably because of these superior geographical conditions.
It is very convenient to expand the flat fields, whether it is to build foundations or roads.
It is much more convenient to enclose a part of the field and grow vegetables in a greenhouse than in the city.
Moreover, there is a river here, and it would be easier to build factories around the river to produce food and daily necessities.
Probably because of the fire at Jiyun Mountain, the service hall tried to choose a location far away from the mountains when choosing its location. Therefore, no trace of the mountain was found within a radius of hundreds of miles.
This is rare.
J City is adjacent to the neighboring province and has many mountainous areas. It took a lot of effort to find such a place with fertile land, flat terrain and no mountains.
"If we drive over there, it might attract some attention." Zhou Jianghai said cautiously.
Qi Mingyu shook his head: "It's okay, we need this car to cover us."
Zhou Jianghai immediately understood what he meant. They had arrived in a new place and had to start from scratch. Therefore, they were in great need of supplies. If they had a pickup truck that could carry cargo, others wouldn't be able to tell what they had brought, and no matter what they took out in the future, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
"Okay! Then open it."
Zhou Shuwan looked into the distance and said to Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun, "Dad, Mom, you guys stay here and remember to grab your weapons. Brother Xiaoyu, let's go ask around."
In fact, they didn't need to ask, because when a car entered the village, someone had already reported it.
Soon, a man in military uniform came over and looked at them with a scrutinizing look: "Stop! Who are you? This is a restricted area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter casually."
All around, there are scenes of new bases under construction.
Qi Mingyu returned the salute, stated his and Zhou Shuwan's names, and said, "We are here on behalf of Captain Xiao Xiao."
The soldier frowned slightly, but judging by the standard of Qi Mingyu's military salute, he was obviously a soldier, so he said, "Stand over there first, and the rest of you will guard. Don't be careless!"
The man had already walked back, apparently to inquire about the situation.
In just over ten minutes, two familiar figures came over surrounded by several people. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xiao Xiao and Meng Mingyue!
Xiao Xiao watched the two of them from afar, a smile blooming on her pretty face: "Wanwan, Xiaoyu, you two are really rare. I was just talking about you with Mingyue today. I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
Qi Mingyu greeted him with a smile, then looked him up and down and nodded: "Captain Xiao is becoming more and more majestic now."
Indeed, Xiao Xiao has been training in the new base for more than half a year, and he has become more calm and capable. His calm eyes and cool temperament are incomparable to before.
But with a smile, she became the amiable Xiao Xiao again.
He patted Qi Mingyu's shoulder, then turned to look at Zhou Shuwan. She was standing there with a smile on her face. She was wearing a black sportswear, had a ponytail, and had a fair complexion. She seemed to have not changed at all since they first met.
"Wanwan, how are you these days?"
Zhou Shuwan nodded and smiled. "The last time Mingyue came to see me, she told me you'd been promoted to captain. I also said I'd definitely buy you a drink when we met. Now, the opportunity has arrived. We've brought some good wine today, so it depends on whether Captain Xiao will honor us with it!"
"Since Wanwan has spoken, how dare I not be smart! Come to my place tonight and have a drink to your heart's content." Xiao Xiao grinned and asked, "I heard that Uncle, Auntie, and Grandma Pang are all here?"
