The woman wore several shabby clothes stained with colorful paint and wrapped her body tightly. She held a pistol in her hand. As she walked, she muttered: "Old Huang, it's so dangerous outside, why don't you call me out?" What are you doing? If it’s okay, I won’t hit you!”
Seeing this scene in front of him, Luo Yuan suddenly felt a strong sense of sight, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
The woman's size was just larger than the calf of the giant beast. As long as it was not careful, it could trample her to death. However, the giant beast licked its tongue and swayed like a windmill while the woman scolded her. Just lie down and please.
The giant beast stopped and whimpered in Luo Yuan's direction.
The woman followed the gaze of the giant beast and looked towards Luo Yuan. She was suddenly stunned. She didn't even notice that the pistol in her hand fell. Her lips trembled: "Xiao Yuan!"
Nowadays, no one calls him Xiao Yuan anymore. Even Huo Dong, the oldest member of the team, has never called him. This familiar voice made Luo Yuan feel a little dazed. He said with some uncertainty: "Sister Yali? "
She said excitedly: "Are you still alive?"
Zhao Yali had fantasized about the scene of the two meeting each other countless times, but as the apocalypse became increasingly cruel, all her fantasies were gradually shattered like fragile soap bubbles. She even felt that he had died of mutation like most people. Among beasts.
She once passed through Donghu City with the refugees, but that prosperous city had turned into ruins. In the end, even Hedong City had fallen. Gradually, she no longer had any hope, and the impression Luo Yuan left in her heart also disappeared. It's getting fainter and fainter, and I rarely think of it now, but I never expected that I would suddenly see it on this ordinary morning.
Looking at Luo Yuan, who seemed to be as outstanding as before the apocalypse, and his neat and clean clothes. At a loss, she gathered her tangled and dirty hair, and tugged at her crumpled and stained clothes, not knowing where to put her hands.
Luo Yuan walked a few steps in and said in surprise: "It turns out it's really you. Where are my uncle and aunt?"
"On the fifth day after you left, my father and Lao Huang went to the fields to find something to eat again, but they didn't come back for a long time. When my mother saw that he didn't come back, she went to look for him worriedly. In the afternoon, Lao Huang came back dragging two corpses. They were all poisoned by insects." Zhao Yali said calmly, her voice choked up at the end.
"I'm sorry!" Luo Yuan sighed.
"It's nothing, it's been a long time." Zhao Yali wiped her eyes, and the paint on her face immediately became colorful.
Luo Yuan felt a pain in his heart and tried to grab her hand, but she gently pulled it away. He turned away and whispered softly: "Don't do this!"
Luo Yuan thought she had not seen him for a long time, and she became a little uncomfortable. He was about to continue to hold her hand, but was interrupted by a magnetic voice.
"Yali, who is this?"
A man ran straight over with a spear in his hand. He was not afraid of the giant beast, Old Huang, and walked up to Zhao Yali. Old Huang's tail kept wagging, obviously he was quite familiar with him.
Listening to the man's affectionate address to Zhao Yali, Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhao Yali said in a panic: "He is my former friend from Donghu City, and I just met him here."
Then he avoided looking at Luo Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, this is... my boyfriend, Zhu Hao!"
The man didn't seem to have seen the scene just now, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you found this place. It's not easy to find us here. Since you are Yali's friend, you are my friend. If you have nowhere to go, in the future Just stay here. Although the conditions here are simple and you usually have to roll in the mud, in this world, nothing is more important than safety. "
Luo Yuan was panicked. He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I won't stay here for a long time. I came here just to see if it is passable. I can only meet Sister Yali." Call it lucky."
He should have thought of it a long time ago. Don't say Zhao Yali is beautiful. No matter how ugly she is, as long as Old Huang is still there, how can she not have a suitor? In this end of the world where the extreme pursuit of power and security is the end, she can get a dark blue-level Any man with a little bit of ambition will not let go of any creature.
Although the two fell in love for a while, they didn't have any deep feelings. Even if they had feelings, they had faded away in such a long time.
Zhu Hao is tall, and although his face is covered with paint, it can be seen that he has good looks, a loud and powerful voice, and speaks gracefully. You can tell at a glance that he is a strong person. In this survivor camp, his status will never be low. As long as such a person lowers his face and pursues him, a woman with a weak personality and low self-esteem like Zhao Yali cannot stop him at all. His offensive.
"That's fine. After all, we can't stay here for long. The tide will rise soon. We will have to find a new place then. But is it too hasty to leave so early? Let's stay here for lunch. You and Ya It’s been a long time since we last met Li, let’s catch up on old times,” Zhu Hao said with a smile.
He had a smile on his face. No matter how Luo Yuan looked at it, he didn't feel unhappy at all. It seemed to come from his heart. Luo Yuan asked himself that he would never be able to do this. This man's thoughts were too deep. But only such people can survive better in this cruel world.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to stay here any longer. He shook his head and said, "No, there are still friends waiting for me. I'll ask about the traffic here and leave!"
Zhu Hao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Zhao Yali said, "Let's have a meal together before leaving. Do you hate seeing me? If you are worried about your friends, why not call them all over!"
Having said that, Luo Yuan could no longer refuse. He looked at Zhao Yali's pleading eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call them over."
Looking at Luo Yuan's back, he stared at it intently for a while, then turned to Zhao Yali and said, "I happened to catch a big loach just now. I'm going to ask someone to prepare it. Do you want to come over and help?"
Zhao Yali was a little lost. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and said apologetically: "I'm a little tired and want to take a rest. Please call me when Xiao Yuan comes."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the tent.
Zhu Hao's face suddenly darkened. Anyone who was not blind could see what was wrong with the two of them. If he hadn't arrived in time, the two of them would have hugged each other.
In order to pursue Zhao Yali, he has always kept his integrity. Even several women who came to his door were rejected by him mercilessly. Not to mention that on the way to escape, he asked for help all the way, and even stooped to please, even after paying so much. The price, when he was about to succeed, unexpectedly killed Cheng Yaojin halfway.
He looked at Luo Yuan's back for a long time, and then turned and left after a long time.
… … …
When Luo Yuan and others arrived, it was already two hours later.
In order to avoid panic, Luo Yuan did not bring the giant lizard over and even left his luggage where he was.
The camp was littered with garbage and exuded an indescribable stench. On the road, a skinny woman in rags pulled down her pants and started urinating in front of everyone.
The only white butt in his body made some men salivate. Before he finished urinating, he was pulled closer to a nearby tent. During this period, the woman pretended to struggle, and the men laughed and cursed.
Seeing this situation, Huang Jiahui's face, which was not very good-looking at first, suddenly turned darker.
Many people were digging in the mud over and over again on the edge of the village, trying to find something to eat.
A skinny man dug and twitched and fell to the ground. The people around him dispersed one after another. A look of horror finally flashed across his dull face, but that was all. There was no screaming or running around. Fleeing, the crowd stared numbly for a while, avoided this place, and continued digging in the mud.
Everyone looked at these people, shocked in their hearts, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If they hadn't followed Luo Yuan, maybe they would have been one of these people.
There are hundreds of survivors in the camp, but the same survivors can still feel their differences. Perhaps it is due to the shortage of food. Most of the refugees here have pale faces, numb eyes, and no trace of vitality.
There are also a few people with rosy faces. Most of these people are strong men and some relatively beautiful and delicate women.
Luo Yuan knew that no matter at what time, people were divided into levels. Before the end of the world, they relied on wisdom, but now they rely on strength. The more powerful people, the better off they will be in the end of the world, and they will occupy the greatest resources. Be it food or women.
Soon someone came to greet him. It was not Zhu Hao, but a tall young man. He looked at Luo Yuan provocatively. When he saw several women, he couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded in his eyes.
Compared with the women in the camp, they are undoubtedly too clean. With clean clothes, clean appearance, and good looks, they stand out here, especially Wang Shishi, whose delicate and charming little face looks like something out of an oil painting. , the delicate skin seems to be exuding a jade-like luster.
Master Wang snorted in dissatisfaction and angrily said, "Where are you looking at?"
The young man came back to his senses and smiled with an unknown meaning: "Everyone, come with me."
Everyone followed him to the largest tent, and he suddenly stopped: "You are not allowed to bring weapons in here. All weapons must be handed over to me. I hope you will cooperate."
"There are so many of you, but how many of us are you afraid of?" Lin Xiaoji said dissatisfied.
The young man sneered: "This is where we hold the meeting. No one can bring weapons. The rules are the rules, and no one can make exceptions."
"When will your regulations apply to us?" Cao Lin said.
Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, since you are here as a guest, it's not shameful to bring weapons. Give him all the weapons."
As he said this, he held out his sword.
As soon as the young man took it, his expression suddenly changed. The heavy weight made him almost unable to catch the sword. He quickly held it with both hands.
Looking at Luo Yuan, who had been holding it with one hand as if nothing had happened, a trace of shock finally flashed across his face.
Seeing that even Luo Yuan had handed over his weapons, everyone had no choice but to obey and then walked into the tent one after another.
There was a layer of wooden boards at the bottom of the tent, and a thick layer of carpet was placed on top of the wooden boards, but it was still a little damp.
There was a round table in the middle, with seven people already sitting inside. Zhu Hao was sitting on the top seat, but Zhao Yali was the only one missing.
