The fire in the kang stove was lit, and the earthen kang quickly became warm and finally even hot, and the entire hut also became warm.

But in the second half of the night, the temperature of the heated kang that is turned off without adding firewood will drop, and the temperature in the house will only become even lower.

Gao Yuan has a sleeping bag, so there is no problem when he sleeps alone, but now there are two people and there is only one sleeping bag.

The simplest way is to spread out the sleeping bags and cover Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu with a portion each. In this way, although neither of them can be very warm, they will not freeze.

The only problem is that sharing a sleeping bag requires being very close together.

At this time, Gao Yuan discovered that Luo Xingyu's body did not smell good. He hadn't taken a shower for two months, and even if he put on new clothes, he still didn't smell good.

But everything was secondary. Gao Yuan, who had been tired for a day, quickly fell asleep.

Hearing some weak but strange noises, Gao Yuan, who had not been sleeping for long, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up quickly. He grabbed the knife next to the pillow with his left hand, and after holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, he remembered now

I no longer sleep alone.

There was someone lying next to him. After realizing this, Gao Yuan felt happy for no reason at first, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Luo Xingyu made a slight murmur in his sleep, but after Gao Yang made some noise with his movements, Luo Xingyu's voice disappeared, and even his breathing disappeared.

Gao Yuan knew what was going on. He had not been able to sleep peacefully in the past two months, and Luo Xingyu's condition was even worse, so it was impossible for her to sleep peacefully now.

Extreme fear, tension, and loneliness. It would be strange if Luo Xingyu didn't become particularly alert after being in this mental state for a long time.

"Are you awake?"

After a while, Luo Xingyu whispered: "Yeah."

"I'm just not used to having another person around me. I woke up from a fright just now. It's okay. Just keep sleeping."

Gao Yuan explained because he was worried that Luo Xingyu would have any bad thoughts.

After all, he is a man and a woman alone, and under the premise that only morality can restrain Gao Yuan, it is normal for Luo Xingyu to be afraid.

Luo Xingyu also sighed softly, then she sat up and whispered: "I can't sleep anymore. It may take me a long time to fall asleep again."

Definitely, in today's world, insomnia should have become a pain that most people have to face.

Gao Yuan whispered: "Me too, let's talk."

"Well, can you shine some light?"

"No, the battery is precious, and Song Mingzi is in a panic because of the smoke."

"Okay, well, what should I say..."

Luo Xingyu hesitated, and Gao Yuan whispered: "Don't talk about family, just do whatever else you want."

He didn't want to face the bloody wound in his heart, at least not yet, so Gao Yuan gave the topic scope in advance.

Luo Xingyu hesitated for a while, and then she finally said: "Then tell me why you are here, I mean why did you choose to live here?"

"Good question. Of course there are reasons for choosing this place. First of all, this village has been abandoned for at least 20 years. The reason why this village was abandoned is because the transportation here is too difficult. There is only one road leading to the outside world.

It is a small road, and there are two steps dug into the mountain wall in the middle. The widest part is less than one meter, and our location is almost at the top of the mountain, with an altitude of 986 meters, so let alone cars, even bicycles

I couldn't walk either. I carried the bicycle and big bag twice. It would be better to relocate the whole place to alleviate poverty in this place, so the village was abandoned."

"Oh, is there only one road? I see there is a small road leading to the top of the mountain. What about after climbing over the top of the mountain?"

"Going over the top of the mountain and going down is a piece of farmland. The farmland is also abandoned. It is full of trees and it is not easy to walk. I walk through the farmland and follow the top of the mountain ridge. There is basically no road and there are twists and turns.

It takes eighteen kilometers to get down the mountain."

"There's only one way, so it's safer, right?"

"That's right, we are in the middle of Taixing Mountain. The most typical geological feature here is the continuous cliffs. If there is no road, it will be particularly dangerous to go up and down the mountain. The good thing about our location is that except for coming from the trail, no one is likely to come from there.

Come from other places, and this place is far away from the main road, so the chances of others discovering it accidentally are much less."

Luo Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "Where is the villa I lived in before?"

It was pitch dark, and Gao Yuan could not give directions. He could only say: "The road into the village goes east-west, and the place where I found you was in the north. I chased the wild boar there. There was no way at all, and it was not good."

Judging from the distance, we walked about ten kilometers when we came back, but..."

Gao Yuan was silent, then he frowned and said, "This also means that you can come here from the villa."

"There shouldn't be any zombies coming, right?"

Gao Yuan whispered: "Probably not. Why do zombies go so far over the mountains and through the woods? I'm not familiar with the area where you live. Please tell me about the terrain nearby."

"Well, I was guarding a new road, which had just been opened. The village was near the road. I didn't dare to go forward when I found the village. Then I saw a newly built cement road. I wanted to bypass the village.

Just keep walking along the small cement road, about two or three kilometers, which is the unfinished villa. I later went to the farmland near the village, but it was not too high and too close to the village, so I don’t know what it is like inside the village.

"

China has developed too fast in recent years. When Gao Yuan and the others chose this abandoned village as their refuge, there was no such road.

"Are there any road signs? Did you pay attention? Do you know the name of the village?"

Luo Xingyu said hesitantly: "I didn't pay attention. Oh, I remember there was a road sign saying that there are still 32 kilometers away from Jin Province. I didn't notice that there were other road signs."

Gao Yuan whispered: "Well, this place is close to the border between Hebei and Shanxi."

Luo Xingyu thought for a moment, and then she whispered: "How did you discover this place?"

"The three of us..."

They agreed not to talk about relatives, but Gao Yuan found that he couldn't talk about friends either.

Talking about friends is still filled with heartbreaking grief.

So Gao Yuan couldn't talk any more.

Luo Xingyu realized it, and she whispered: "I'm sorry, let's talk about something else."

"Need not."

Taking a deep breath, Gao Yuan whispered: "The three of us have known each other for a long time. We all like the outdoors, so we are always the three of us wherever we go. We never go together with travel companions because we have different ways of playing."

"Then you met because you played outdoors?"

"Uh, not really. We... are both from Shimen City, and we both work in Jicheng. I met Tobacco Pipe first, because we both do handicrafts. After we met, Tobacco Pipe introduced... Ham to me, because ham and

My common hobby is the outdoors, and as we played together, I influenced them. They are also the type of people with a strong sense of crisis. We share the same hobbies and decide to survive together if there is a crisis, so our relationship has always been very good.

good."

"So you started to stock up on supplies."

"Yes, we go out together at least twice a year. Once we came here after being introduced by other travel friends. We found that this place suits our conditions very well, and then we decided to build it into Shelter No. 1. Well, that time we

We hid the leftover biscuits and cans here, and then we came here consciously, bringing more storable food when we came, and hiding some obsolete but still usable equipment here."

Sighing lightly, Gao Yuan continued: "For example, the radio station, that's... Ham's. He is a radio enthusiast. He thought that a radio station should be put here, so he carried it on his back, but the main thing he stored was food.

that is it."

"Shelter No. 1, do you have any other shelters?"

"No, there is only No. 1. There are no resources or time to prepare another shelter elsewhere, and there is no suitable place, but the main reason is lack of money."

Luo Xingyu sighed, because her father was the richest man, but her father did not have such a refuge.

Without much thought, Luo Xingyu said: "Are Pipe and Ham your nicknames?"

"No, that was the codename we used when we first agreed to use radio calls. We originally said that we would change it later, but in the end we just used it like this and haven't changed it for so many years... Don't talk about it!"

Gao Yuan felt a pain in his heart. He thought he was fine, but he found that he was not, so he had to change the topic.

"Your...what are your plans?"

Gao Yuan wanted to change the topic to Luo Xingyu, but as soon as he started talking, he immediately realized that he couldn't ask Luo Xingyu's family this question, so he immediately changed the topic.

Luo Xingyu was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "I have no plans. Now that I have something to eat and can sleep warmly, I already feel like I am in paradise on earth. I have no plans now. Brother Yuan, do you have any plans?"

?”

The question came back again. Gao Yuan thought for a moment and whispered: "I don't have any plans. I am a survivalist, so I must be a pessimist, because optimists will not reserve supplies to deal with disasters."

Such boring things, they only think about beautiful things."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile, but then he lamented: "So I never thought that I could return to my previous life, and I didn't expect to drive away the aliens. The most optimistic plan I could make was

I just hope that the zombies will starve to death, and then I will go to the nearby villages to look for any available supplies. If possible, I will try to find any seeds that can be cultivated. Farming will allow me to survive here for a long time and still be able to survive.

Live comfortably."

Luo Xingyu whispered: "Have you never thought about leaving here?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "I never thought about it. I originally liked life in the mountains. Now I think that only the mountains can allow me to continue to live. So I have never thought about leaving. I don't want to leave at all.

Well, do you want to leave?"

Luo Xingyu said without hesitation: "Leave? Where to go? Where can we go?"

Gao Yuan was really speechless.

Luo Xingyu sighed and whispered: "If possible, of course I want to find my dad. If he is still alive... I'm sorry, I shouldn't say this."

Luo Xingyu is sensitive and kind. After realizing that the topic was beyond the scope of the topic, she immediately chose to stop.
