I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 36 Going Out Again

I pulled Jade and Pearl together and began to seriously emphasize that this secret concerns the future survival and life of our family. We should not be too proud, because many lessons have taught people that once people become rich overnight, they are likely to get carried away and become arrogant. However, arrogance will inevitably lead to disasters. It may bring disasters in the future because we do not have the strong power to protect the wealth we have obtained with our strange abilities. Do you understand? I kept talking to them earnestly.

Jadeite seemed to be thinking about something. After reflection, Pearl replied, "I'm 15 years old, of course I know what the secret is. This is a matter of saving our whole family's lives, I understand." Suddenly, she changed the subject and said that she was afraid that Jadeite would get too proud of herself.

Feicui glanced at her and said, "You little girl, keep talking nonsense. I'm not the kind of person who can't keep a secret!"

The two of them would always quarrel over a single sentence. I thought to myself that maybe neither of them could keep a secret, but since things had come to this point, there was nothing I could do, so I quickly advised them, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I want to find out where Mom is on a business trip in a few days and then go look for her, but before I go, I want to settle you down first."

Pearl interrupted, "Brother, can we go together to find mom? I don't want to be separated from you."

Feicui snorted coldly: "Can you take a child like you with you when you go to find your mother? It will be such troublesome." The two of them started chattering again.

I said stop arguing, my head hurts! Let me rest for a while, I plan to go to Lin Lin to buy some goods later.

Pearl asked me puzzledly: Brother, we have money and food and drinks, why do we have to sell goods?

I replied: Brother, the things in your space are not very filling, and we don't have much money either. There are several people in our family, and food and drink in this base all cost money. And if we have to pay for this shabby dormitory, our money may not be enough after paying a few times. Maybe we will be chased to sleep on the first floor, and I don't want you to sleep on the dormitory. Besides, reselling cigarettes is illegal, and I don't have other skills. Jade is causing trouble every day, so I want to save money to buy a stable residence in the early stage of rebuilding my home, so that the whole family can live more comfortably and safely.

Feicui suddenly jumped to my bedside, put her head close to my face, and said to me mysteriously: "Old Huo, I have a good idea. Let's drive with Lin Lin to search for supplies this afternoon. I will get off the car and secretly hide the cigarettes and alcohol in my space in the ruins of a supermarket, then call you over, and we will load these into the car, and when we come back, we will say that we found them. Lin Lin will definitely not suspect anything. What do you think?"

After listening to me, I said that cigarettes are not allowed to be sold privately. Feicui and I analyzed that she was a little careless in the morning. She thought that since they were her own things, there was nothing wrong with her selling them too blatantly. It must be the old woman Sister Zhang at the door who told her about it. But if she gave the cigarettes to Lin Lin this time and used his connections to sell them, there would be absolutely no problem.

I also think it makes some sense. Our city doesn't have a cigarette factory and all cigarettes have to be shipped from other cities, but the city must have reserve cigarettes. It's just that Zhengfu hasn't started selling in large quantities yet, but old smokers can't stand it and will definitely find a way to buy it, so this product will definitely be very popular. Lin Lin is an old salesman here and he should really know the sales channels!

After my mind was opened, I became energetic and left the dormitory with Feicui. Before leaving, I asked Feicui to run errands to the canteen to buy food for my sister, grandfather and us who might come back in the middle of the night and leave it at home. I also prepared two bottles of good wine for grandfather and secretly hid them in the cupboard. I told Zhenzhu to take good care of grandfather when we are not at home and not to wait for us to eat. If it is too late, you should go to bed first and lock the door and try not to go out.

Fortunately, it only took twenty minutes to walk from the factory to Xiaobai's house, which was not far.

Feicui came to Xiaobai's house for the first time and praised Xiaobai's house. She also took a look around upstairs and it was obvious that she liked it here.

Xiaobai also asked Lin Lin, is this the boss you recognize? He looked at Feicui in disbelief, still observing her gender.

I said stop guessing because she is a girl. Xiaobai also knew that we were going to get supplies, and he said that there used to be several big supermarkets in their community but now they are all closed. We have to go to the base supply and marketing cooperative to buy things in the future. How troublesome it is, Xiaobai complained while turning on the TV.

I asked in confusion: "You can still watch TV here, are there any programs?"

Xiaobai said there was no signal or network, but he had a thousand movies to watch because he had a huge hard drive!

I thought to myself that this guy was living a really comfortable life, so I said, "Just wait here, we are about to set off."

This time we went out with a few large oil drums, and we were going to fill two large drums with oil from the abandoned cars on the roadside like last time! We had to finish this tonight no matter what, and it would be safer to store the gasoline in Xiaobai's garage after we came back.

On the way, Lin Lin told me that Xiao Bai wanted us to take him back to his hometown tomorrow to inquire about his parents. Lin Lin told me that Xiao Bai's home is in a town at the junction of the neighboring city and our city. The town is also very famous and is called Lao Qingshan Town. It is a 4A scenic spot here. It is named Lao Qingshan Town because it is next to a green mountain. I calculated that it is more than miles away. This road may not be able to reach such a far place.

Lin Lin said, "Let's help him. Just think of it as us looking for supplies. Don't you know his sister too? Aren't they quite familiar with each other?"

Feicui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked curiously, "Who is his sister? Wait, his last name is Bai!" Feicui seemed to have thought of something. She screamed and turned her head to look at me with a teasing smile, "Is it the high school class monitor you have a crush on?"

I was shocked and asked, "Fei Cui, did you peek at my diary?"

Feicui laughed and explained to Lin Lin that Huo Fei had always had a crush on a female monitor named Bai Aoyu in high school. What a coincidence that she was Xiao Bai's sister! Lin Lin asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

Feicui continued to laugh at me and said, "Oh, the poem he wrote is so corny. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Lin is still asking Feicui to talk

The two of them were giggling while exposing my scars. I was so upset that I tried to defend myself: "That was puberty, I was immature. Who doesn't have a secret crush? Stop talking..." I was so embarrassed that my face turned red. It was so embarrassing, Feicui, this gossipy woman.

Finally we drove to the intersection of an unmaintained road and got out of the car to look for our target!

It was approaching evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was scattered on the ruins of the city like blood, like the opening sequence of an apocalyptic movie. Everything was silent at this moment, and the prosperity of the past was long gone. This was an abandoned world, and we had become abandoned children. This heavy feeling made the three of us sigh deeply.

We drove the car to a secluded place as much as possible, and then Lin Lin and I each carried a large oil barrel and started to explore the cars in the ruins in front. The first car was a black Toyota Camry leaning against the side of the road. The window was still open, and there was a pool of dried blood inside. It was estimated that the owner of the car was seriously injured and was towed away.

We also opened the gas tank first and then the trunk. Lin Lin went to fiddle with the mailbox. The gasoline inside had obviously leaked out due to the damage to the car body in the car accident. I went straight to the trunk. There was a large black suitcase in the trunk. I took out the suitcase and put it on the ground. I opened it and saw a pair of branded basketball shoes inside. They were still very new. I saw that the size was just right for me to wear. I sighed that my shoes were about to be scrapped, so I got new ones. I put them on quickly and felt a little hot. I decided to put them away first and wear them later. I secretly hid the shoes in the space while Lin Lin, who was pumping gas, was not paying attention.

Before leaving, I cleared out some space so that I could put some things in it at any time. It wasn't because I wanted too much, but because there were some things that I couldn't carry and couldn't bear to throw away.
