Following Shang Jianyao's gaze, Jiang Baimian saw Du Heng in a black robe sitting on the ground in an alley, leaning against a telegraph pole supporting a "cobweb", his head slightly tilted back, as if he was sleeping, looking very is comfortable.
At this time, the sun had already fallen below the horizon, and darkness enveloped the world. If it weren't for Shang Jianyao's sharp eyes, relying on the few lights in the houses on both sides, Jiang Baimian would probably have overlooked Du Heng, whose clothes were almost blended with the night. .
Hearing the name of the big guy who could scare away even Xiaochong, Bai Chen stepped on the brakes and made the jeep stop smoothly to the side of the road.
Shang Jianyao pushed open the car door, walked over, and sat down beside Du Heng.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian hesitated for a while, but followed him, imitating Shang Jianyao, and sat down next to him.
Bai Chen is responsible for guarding the jeep and taking care of Long Yuehong who is in the back row.
Du Heng turned his head to the side, opened his eyes, glanced at Shang Jianyao, and returned to his previous posture.
"You?" There was a rare tiredness in his tone.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao replied literally.
Du Heng maintained his original state:
"It turns out that I came here because you entered the 'Spiritual Corridor'.
"It's time to have this chance..."
Mr. Du Heng, how can you speak like a Taoist... Jiang Baimian resisted and did not interrupt.
Shang Jianyao made no secret of his surprise:
"Am I being so obvious?"
"I just happened to be able to see it." Du Heng replied simply.
Then, without opening his eyes, he said:
"Don't rush to change the state of the spiritual room, and don't go out and enter the corridor quickly. Wait a month or two until your mental state is almost stable before doing this. This can effectively reduce the deterioration of your cost."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao, who didn't refute the price, wanted to add "men".
Du Heng turned and said:
"You can leave now, don't disturb my sleep."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao has always been a polite and good young man.
Jiang Baimian gave Du Heng a suspicious look, stood up, patted his pants, and walked back to the jeep parked by the road outside the alley.
…
In the wasteland of the North Shore, the huge motorcade drove in the direction of the mountains.
These are the people fleeing Chuchun Town.
In order to escape the tracking of "First City", they risked their lives and drove in the dark for nearly four hours.
Of course, there was no moon tonight, and even the stars were scarce. They didn't dare to rush all the way. After arriving at the ruins of a small town that had long been excavated, they chose to camp to rest and avoid risks.
Han Wanghuo, Zeng Duo, and Genova's dark-colored off-road vehicles were at the end of the team, and were responsible for cleaning up the corresponding traces. When they arrived, there were more than a dozen bonfires between several buildings, where no one outside could see them. has risen.
Most of the townspeople in Chuchun Town have something different from ordinary people. In the words of outsiders, they are all grotesque.
They gathered around different bonfires, or took time to rest, or patrolled the surroundings, or filled their stomachs, and didn't say much.
Coupled with the appearance, they appear rather gloomy.
Zeng Duo swept around and explained to Han Wanghuo and Genova:
"Everyone is usually very kind and enthusiastic. Now there may be outsiders, and they have been locked up for several months, and they are not very open."
"It's okay." Han Wanghuo simply replied.
For Genova, this is even less of a problem.
At this time, the mayor with shriveled legs rode over his son with an underdeveloped brain, and had a detailed exchange with Zeng Duo about the destination discussed earlier.
After figuring out the specific situation, he returned to the piles of bonfires and clapped his hands twice.
All the townspeople who were still asleep turned their attention to it.
The mayor cleared his throat and said loudly:
"I know everyone is very afraid. It is not easy to abandon the town we have lived in for so many years and the fields we cultivated ourselves, but we have to do it. I believe you will see the fate of being an experimenter. When it arrives, we all understand the huge size of the 'First City', this is not something we can compete with, maybe we can win that one time, but not many times, and as long as we lose the last time, we have no room to turn around."
This is what I said from the bottom of my heart, and it is an obvious fact, which has been nodded and responded by the townspeople.
The mayor continued:
"Wandering is actually the living state of most human beings on the dusty soil. Every few years, or less, they will migrate for various reasons. Compared with them, we are actually much better, at least we are 'initial city' ' After the people catch it, there is still a chance to escape and survive!"
This sentence slowly released the panic and anxiety that had accumulated in the hearts of many townspeople, and finally felt a little bit of escape.
The mayor looked around and raised his voice a little higher:
"Zeng Duo told me that she found a suitable place to settle down, where there is enough water for drinking, abandoned farmland for reclamation, and abandoned ruins for renovation, and now that it is summer, we still have enough time to be busy.
"As long as the first harvest is achieved, a new early spring town will be established!
"and also… "
Speaking of this, the mayor suddenly got a little excited:
"There is no pollution, no pollution!
"Our descendants will gradually become normal and no longer suffer from the pain caused by aberrations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the townspeople of Chuchun Town were in an uproar. They looked around and whispered, trying to confirm whether what the mayor said was true.
"It's true!" Zeng Duo folded his hands into a trumpet shape and put them in front of his mouth, "I promise!"
She showed extraordinary abilities today. She has very powerful companions and rescued everyone from the guards of the "First City". Unconsciously, she has become the object that the townspeople rely on and believe in. Therefore, she guarantees are sufficiently valid and credible.
After a brief silence, the grotesque townspeople made various sounds:
"Long live!"
"Ula!"
"God open your eyes!"
…
Their excitement was beyond words, waking the sleeping townspeople up.
Seeing the changes in the familiar faces and hearing their unreserved shouts, Zeng Duo was a little dazed for a while.
She seems to have led everyone to the col, clearing weeds with everyone, reopening farmland, building ditches with neighbors, bringing in clean water, and harvesting wheat ears with relatives and friends. Gather around the table, use water as wine, and enjoy…
The pictures were so beautiful that Zeng Duo couldn't help reaching out and wanted to touch, but he couldn't catch anything.
When the scene calmed down, Han Wanghuo, who was standing at the outermost edge, glanced sideways at her:
"Have you begun to miss this world and be reluctant to die?"
Zeng Duo answered honestly:
"A little.
"But don't worry, I will fulfill my promise, and I won't live long anyway."
Han Wanghuo was noncommittal, looked ahead and said:
"Can't you learn to be selfish
"Love yourself before you love others."
Zeng Duo grabbed his short hair:
"I think so too, but..."
She looked at Han Wangsuo suspiciously:
"You said this, are you not afraid that I will regret it and try my best to live
"You don't love yourself anymore, are you not selfish anymore?"
Han Wanghuo remained silent and did not answer.
Gnavar was patrolling the surroundings, not participating in their conversation.
…
In the original city, the Red Giant Wolf District, below a fairly high-end apartment.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, who had obtained the necessary medicines and equipment at night, walked into the door.
Glancing at the newspaper box shelf in the lobby, Jiang Baimian walked over to find the house number of the room he and others rented to see if there were today's newspapers in it, hoping to learn more about the situation in the original city.
— She remembered that when she was renting, the landlord specifically mentioned that he subscribed to the "First City Daily" for the whole year.
Perhaps today's turmoil has prevented newspapers from being printed or distributed, and the letterbox is empty, with only an unsigned letter lying there.
letter? Jiang Baimian took out the letter in doubt, checked it, and opened it on the spot.
Inside the letter were two thin sheets of paper, corresponding to two medical reports.
The report said the patient would not live long unless the heart and bone marrow were replaced.
At the same time, they also mentioned the combination of some drugs, saying that according to the treatment plan and proper nursing care, one patient can live at least half a year longer, and the other is almost three months.
"The medical report of Lao Han and Zeng Duo? It was sent by Master Zenaga? He didn't blame us for fleeing early?" Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and whispered to themselves, "The ability to 'prophecy' is amazing. …”
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"Master Zenaga is such a good man."
In this regard, Jiang Baimian strongly agrees.
A Zenaga master is truly compassionate.
…
The original city, Sikkaro Temple, is on the street outside.
Inspector Alexander looked at the brightly lit seven-story Buddhist temple, heard the faintly reverberating sound of chanting, and sighed to his daughter Galoran beside him:
"Master Zenaga passed away..."
