Seventy-Eight: Changes in the Elbows and Armpits
“Boom——” The dull explosion woke Ye Han up. He sat up with his abdominal muscles and rubbed his sleepy cheeks vigorously.
The sky was already bright, and the refreshing sunshine sprinkled on the streets. It was a cloudless day.
Ye Han glanced at his watch. The hour hand pointed to 4:10 in the morning. He twisted his stiff neck and made a slight creaking sound.
“Are you awake too?” Zhou Yun opened his eyes at some point. With a flick of his finger, the reclining seat stood up and supported Zhou Yun’s back.
Hearing another muffled sound in his ears, Ye Han pricked up his ears and said, “It sounds like it came from the south, and the distance is quite far. Are the giant ants coming out again?”
Ants seem to be active during the day and rest at night. It is reasonable that nothing happened overnight.
“Probably.” Zhou Yun did not comment, opened the car door and jumped out of the car, holding his lower back with his hands and twisting his hips.
Ye Han also got off the car, breathing in the fresh and crisp air, stretching his arms and legs, stretching his muscles and bones, and instantly feeling much more energetic.
The narrow chair was not a comfortable bed. After tossing and turning all night, his bones felt uncomfortable and he was very tired.
An old man who looked at least 70 years old, wearing a vest and big shorts, ran in front of the two of them. His slightly thin figure was very flexible, and he didn't look like an old man who had passed 70 years old at all.
Zhou Yun and Ye Han were both stunned, watching the old man run away blankly.
Ye Han was surprised and said, "Am I seeing it right? They all came out for morning exercise? How confident are you?"
Zhou Yun looked at the sentry on the wall who was ready for battle: "The old man is confident, but you are just trying to boost the ambition of the bugs and destroy your own prestige!"
Although the sentry on the wall was in a shooting posture, no one fired a shot, and the anti-aircraft machine gun did not fire. The situation was obviously under the control of the military... But can ordinary people see these connotations?
Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh that these people were thick-skinned, but whether they were thick-skinned or full of confidence, those who dared to come out didn't care about the situation outside the wall.
"Don't make a fuss with me, why are you talking about those useless things!" Ye Han glared at Zhou Yun in dissatisfaction, and looked into the distance, and actually saw a big sister wearing an apron, holding a sign and walking out of the store, and putting the sign on the roadside.
There were a few big characters printed on the red-bottomed sign, which were: soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns and tofu brain.
Ye Han felt more and more incredible: "The breakfast shop is open?" After saying that, he turned his head and glared at Zhou Yun, "The breakfast shop is open!"
"The breakfast shop is open, important things are said three times, and I'll say it for you this time!" Zhou Yun was also surprised, trying his best to recall whether the shop was open yesterday morning, but he didn't have any impression in his mind.
Ye Han covered his belly and laughed: "Let's go and have a look!"
"What, are you hungry?"
"Don't tell me you're not hungry...Are you going or not? If not, lend me some money and I'll pay you back with my salary!" Ye Han said shamelessly.
"Go, why not!" Zhou Yun didn't eat well last night, and after Ye Han said that, he also felt hungry.
Looking back at Old Hu who was still sleeping, Zhou Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go first and bring some back for Brother Hu."
The two ran to the breakfast shop happily. As soon as Ye Han entered the door, he stared at the menu on the wall and shouted, "Do you have meat-filled buns? Give me a bowl of tofu brain and six meat-filled buns!" After that, he pointed at Zhou Yun and said, "He pays the bill!"
Zhou Yun laughed dumbly: "A bowl of millet porridge, four cabbage-filled buns, and a cup of soy milk plus four vegetarian buns, any fillings are fine."
When the owner saw that the customers were two policemen, he immediately showed a bright smile and greeted them enthusiastically: "Wait a moment, you two, I'll be here soon!"
Ye Han picked a table and sat down, took off the gun, removed the magazine, pulled the bolt and looked at the gun chamber. After confirming that there were no bullets in the gun, he re-stuck the magazine editor and put it on the table.
Moving his sore stomach, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper quickly sent the things Ye and Zhou ordered to the table, and added an extra plate of pickles: "Enjoy your meal, the dishes are mine!"
"How can I be so embarrassed..." Zhou Yun said politely.
"Hey, it's not worth much!" The shopkeeper laughed heartily.
"Thank you very much." Zhou Yun said politely.
"Don't be polite, call me anytime if you need anything." The shopkeeper turned and left.
When Zhou Yun finished his politeness and sat down, Ye Han had already finished a bun, and took a big bite of the second one, and he could swallow it whole with another bite.
Zhou Yun couldn't help but tease: "You are a starving ghost reincarnated!"
Ye Han was busy eating and ignored the rebuttal.
Zhou Yun laughed and took a small bite of a bun.
The taste of the bun was only average, but at this time, being able to drink a mouthful of hot porridge and eat a few buns was already a very luxurious thing, at least a hundred times better than the boxed lunch prepared by the bureau.
Ye Han ate very quickly, finishing all the food in just three minutes. He patted his bloated belly and burped comfortably.
Zhou Yun had only eaten half of it at this time, and asked, "Are you full? More?"
"That's enough, the next thing is lunch." Ye Han said with a smile.
"Okay, wait for me for a while." Zhou Yun continued to eat at his own pace, and it took him more than ten minutes to finish his portion. He called the owner to settle the bill, and found that a simple breakfast cost 70 or 80 yuan.
This price is several times more expensive than before, but since the giant mantis appeared, the price of non-staple food in Jingjiang City has been rising day by day. This is the conscientious cost price given by the store owner because they are police officers, otherwise this meal would cost at least three figures.
The two left the breakfast shop and walked back silently.
It took a while to eat. There were more and more people doing morning exercises on the street. Many young men and women who were jogging in the morning also took their pet dogs on the road together, not paying any attention to the roar coming from the wall from time to time.
As he walked, the square brick under Ye Han's feet suddenly sank, scaring him to the point of almost peeing his pants, thinking that he had encountered the legendary sinkhole, but he immediately found that although the square brick under his feet was fluctuating, it did not sink into the ground.
What's going on?
Ye Han was shocked, and jumped away as if he had stepped on a landmine. His body curled in the air, and he quickly stood up after rolling forward when he landed. He quickly turned around and raised his gun, pulled the bolt to load the gun and aimed at the moving cement brick.
Zhou Yun asked in surprise: "What happened?"
"I don't know, the brick is moving!" Ye Han replied vigilantly.
"You are too nervous, how can the brick move..."
Before he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the other side of the road.
The two turned their heads subconsciously, and saw that in the green belt on the other side of the road, a giant ant head more than one person tall had jumped out at some point, with a dark carapace covered with mud and a giant jaw more than one meter long and as thick as a small tree.
There happened to be a girl doing morning exercises nearby, and the half-human-high giant jaw "snapped" with a sound, and the fashionable beauty was already cut in half.
