Chapter 7 7. Farmhouse

Saturday, September 7th, two days before the end of the world.

Luo Tong stayed up all night, repeatedly counting the supplies in the space.

Ten boxes of mineral water, one liter, twelve bottles per box. Three boxes of high-strength liquor, 500 ml, six bottles per box. Three bags of 100 jins of rice, plus 100 jins of fruits and vegetables. There are also some ready-to-eat foods and high-calorie foods.

Candy, some seasonings.

The rest of the space is filled with medicines and first-aid supplies. Even though Gu Yun has removed all the obstructive packaging, it still takes up a large part of the space.

Today she should go to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city with her parents and Xiao Ning's family.

She moved her luggage to the door early in the morning. My mother prepared two mountaineering bags for this three-day trip, but her luggage was a 23-inch oversized trolley suitcase.

"You have to bring so much stuff? It's only been two days!"

"I want to take pictures, so I need to bring a few extra sets of clothes, and I also have to bring some delicious food to Xiao Ning."

"Smelly," her mother glared at her with disgust and went about her business.

At around nine o'clock, someone knocked on the door, and a few minutes later Jiang Huiying walked into her daughter's room with a folder in her hand.

"Nanny, someone came over with the car keys and said the car was parked downstairs."

Luo Tong took out the car keys from the folder, "Where's Dad? Are you ready?"

"Your dad is in the bathroom, he needs to go out to do something!" Mother complained, "Let's go down and wait."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Luo Zhiguo shouted as he came out of the toilet, "I'm not coming now. Do I have to find a place to go to the toilet halfway?"

Listening to his parents nagging, Luo Tong felt heavy.

She was born in this old two-bedroom apartment. Every corner here has her memories, and there are too many things that she can't let go of.

But some things must be given up, as long as people are around.

"Mom and Dad, you go first. I forgot something. I'll be back in a moment."

"You kid, learn what your dad does."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

After hearing his parents close the door, Luo Tong looked around every room and took the group photo on the table.

Finally, he took another look at the not-so-spacious two-bedroom apartment, turned around and locked the door.

Downstairs, my father walked around the domineering pickup truck for a few times, a little unbelievable.

"Daughter, it can't be this car, right?"

Luo Tong smiled, "Yes." He took out the key from his pocket and unlocked it.

The headlights flashed, and Luo Zhiguo's face showed a smile like a child getting a beloved toy.

"Haha, this car is amazing. Your father and I have been driving cars all our lives and have never tried such a high-end car."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Luo Zhiguo was so excited that he touched everything with his hands, attracting Jiang Huiying's disgusted look.

When he turned the key, he heard the roar of the engine, and Luo Zhiguo's eyes lit up.

"Ha! Listen to this engine, it's so exciting!"

"Dad, please take it easy. If you encounter one, we will fine you."

"Touch! Let him touch it! Just deduct a few months of his salary to make him feel at ease!" Jiang Huiying habitually sneered at the side.

"Mom, I'm afraid a few months won't be enough. I'll have to wait a few years."

"What!? This car is so expensive!?" The hand holding the steering wheel retracted instantly.

Upon seeing this, Luo Tong immediately poured ecstasy soup into his father's mouth, "Dad is an experienced driver. His experience and touch are unparalleled by many! Dad, it's almost time. Don't let Xiao Ning's family wait."

The daughter's words immediately made the veteran driver regain his confidence and get on the road quickly.

"Hey, this car still has a manual transmission, which suits my taste. Unfortunately, it's too expensive. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it if I sell it..."

Listening to his parents teasing each other along the way, Luo Tong forced a smile.

She couldn't let the two of them discover anything strange, she just hoped that their end would come as late as possible.

It only took more than ten minutes to get to Xiao Ning's house. The father sitting in the driver's seat greeted Xiao Ning's father proudly.

"Xiang Jun! Look at this car!!"

Lu Xiangjun was a simple and honest man, and he was just looking at the car in a silly mood.

"Lao Luo, thank you very much for still thinking of us."

Luo Zhiguo got out of the car and helped Lu Xiangjun get his things.

"Why are you so polite? My Xiaotong and Xiao Ning are close friends, and we are not outsiders."

Lu Xiaoning's mother came out of the corridor and coughed a few times. Jiang Huiying asked.

"Juan'er, are you sick?"

Ning Juan frowned, "I'm fine, it's just a minor illness, I'm worrying you all."

No one noticed that Luo Tong's face turned pale instantly as he stood aside.

Because she has experienced it, no one knows better than her what a sudden cold means.

Lu Xiaoning did not have the experience of the apocalypse in his previous life, and he would not know what happened to their family after the apocalypse. Could it be that...something happened when the apocalypse broke out?

Now there are only two choices before us, take Lu Xiaoning's family, including the sick mother. Or find a reason to leave their family behind.

The first type will take great risks and even hurt your parents. Although the second type can ensure the safety of your own family,...

Looking at Xiao Ning's gentle smiling face, Luo Tong gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble!

"Oh, look what you said, you are sick and we are still dragging you along."

Luo Tong adjusted his expression and ran up to help Ning Juan.

"Aunt Juan, let me help you."

"No need to help, it's just a cold, not a serious illness..."

Several people got into the car, turned onto the road, and headed towards the farmhouse on the outskirts of the city.

"Your brother hasn't come back?" Luo Tong asked as he sat next to Lu Xiaoning.

"Well, I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for? I wish you and your uncle and aunt could come."

Lu Xiaoning looked at the car, feeling a little excited.

"This car is awesome, isn't it expensive?"

"It's also part of the first prize and can be rented for two days."

It took nearly three hours and the car successfully arrived at the farmhouse on the western outskirts of the city.

Luo Tong frowned when he saw several buses in the parking lot.

"Dad, we won't stop here. The place we rent has a garage, so we can just drive in."

Luo Zhiguo followed the signs and drove in along the road.

This farmhouse is very large, and there is a four-story reception area upon entering.

"Dad, you stop here, I'll go to the reception desk to go through the formalities and get the keys."

Luo Tong got out of the car, entered the reception area, and went to the counter to complete the formalities.

After getting the key, I asked for a map of the farmhouse park.

Get back in the car and hand the map to Dad.

"Dad, our villa is here, No. 22." Luo Tong pointed to a place on the map.

Surrounding the reception area is a large lawn, around which you can see small villas hidden among tall shrubs.

"This is a farmhouse? I think it's a resort, right?" Jiang Huiying looked at the scale in front of her in surprise.

"I heard from the person who introduced it that this place was originally a village, and the people in the village raised funds to build a large-scale farmhouse," Luo Tong explained.

While talking, the car turned into a small road. There was a bamboo forest on both sides of the road. After passing through the bamboo forest, a large lake suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The villa Luo Tong rented was right on the lakeside. It was in a remote location and could hardly see the neighboring villas. The villa was also surrounded by a two-meter-high iron fence and double iron gates.

"This villa is so grand." Jiang Huiying sighed.

"It's free anyway, so of course you have to choose the best one."

When they heard the word "free", everyone suddenly felt relieved.
