Luo Yuan took a sip of water and leaned half against the wall, looking blankly at the ceiling, motionless!
The future is like this dark basement with no glimmer of hope.
As the sun sets in the west, the sky outside gradually darkens.
A few people had a relatively sumptuous dinner and began to prepare for going to the underground base.
Luo Yuan went outside to get the car, but ten minutes later, he came back empty-handed, with a somewhat unsightly look on his face.
"Why doesn't the car drive to the door?" Huang Jiahui asked while arranging her clothes.
"The off-road vehicle was pinned down by the fallen wall, and the other classic car was driven away by someone unknown." Luo Yuan said helplessly: "It looks like he is going to walk over.
"The car thief should be shot!" Huang Jiahui threw down her clothes and said bitterly!
"Forget it, we stole it anyway!"
"Can we still find the car now?"
Luo Yuan took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, took a strong puff, and after spitting it out, he said: "I found it and I can't open it without the key. It's not far from the underground base, so let's walk there!"
"This is the only way!" She sighed and said.
She pushed her clothes down, tightened them with the zipper of her bag, took out the Desert Eagle, and pressed the white jade-colored synthetic bullets that Luo Yuan gave her into the magazine one by one, and fastened them to her waist. She hesitated. After a while, he said, "Do you want to bring some food?"
"Since the car is gone, it's better not to take it with you, it's too heavy!" Luo Yuan shook his head and objected, then thought about it and said, "Bring some water and compressed biscuits to avoid accidents!"
He turned his head and looked at Master Wang holding a teddy bear that was as tall as a person: "Put this thing down, go get a backpack from the second floor, and put all the food stamps and gold bars in the safe in the bedroom and basement!"
"Brother Luo, I... I can hold it!" Wang Shishi said reluctantly with a pout. This Disney teddy bear was placed in her bedroom. It was much higher-end than the one at home before. She fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. .
Luo Yuan frowned and was about to get angry.
Upon seeing this, Huang Jiahui quickly advised: "Master, this thing is not safe to carry on the road. Put it down. There will be more in the future."
Master Wang pursed his lips, put down the teddy bear heavily with red eyes, and ran upstairs.
Luo Yuan sighed. He knew that Wang Shishi preferred plush toys. Before she moved to the villa, there was always a dirty bear on the bed in her bedroom that she picked up from nowhere. Only by holding these things can you sleep peacefully.
Sometimes when Luo Yuan came back from sword practice in the early morning, he would often find Master Wang crying unconsciously in his sleep.
This sudden apocalypse has caused Wang Shishi psychological trauma that is far more serious than it seems. After all, she is still a girl whose mind has not yet fully matured. No matter how strong she is, she cannot completely withstand the various blows brought to her. Psychological trauma.
But in the last days, there is no room for any tenderness, nor for the slightest sympathy or compromise. If you don’t adapt, you will be eliminated. Maybe when you look back in a few years, your current life may be like being in heaven.
He stopped thinking about this and walked outside to take a look at the sky. Today was the middle of the month. The full moon was in the sky, as bright as snow. Even without a flashlight, he could see the road clearly. The sound of cannons in the distance also followed the darkness of the night. As it gets thicker, it begins to become intermittent, and the frequency is greatly reduced.
He looked at his watch. The radar watch found in this villa clearly showed that today happened to be New Year's Eve, nine o'clock in the evening.
At this time last year, he was still watching the Spring Festival Gala in a rental house and thinking about where to eat tomorrow, but today this year, he is worried about how to survive. The changes in the world are so bizarre that no one can imagine.
He walked to the living room, and Wang Shishi had already walked down, carrying a mountaineering bag on his back. Luo Yuan looked at Master Wang who was a bit awkward, walked over and patted her on the shoulder, handed her the modified shuttle, and said: "This is your companion, and the best and least likely companion to betray you." !”
Master Wang held the shuttle and nodded in understanding.
Seeing that everything was packed, Luo Yuan looked at the time again and said, "The underground base opens at twelve o'clock, but I'm worried about an accident, so we'll go there now. Jiahui, you carry the suitcase with clothes. Huang Yueying will take the food box, I will be on guard, let’s go!”
Huang Yueying's body couldn't help but trembled, and her face turned pale.
Ever since Luo Yuan said he would take them to the underground base, she had a vague feeling that Luo Yuan occasionally looked at her with a strange look. This look made her uneasy all afternoon, until Luo Yuan asked her to carry the food box. , reached the top.
Food, clothes, and money have different values in everyone's mind in this apocalyptic world. Among powerful people, money ranks first because they need to pursue a more luxurious life because they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Among ordinary people who are half hungry and half full, food is the first priority. Only food can keep them alive.
Luo Yuan has no power, but he is a powerful evolver. Whether it is food or mutated animal meat, he can easily get it by taking risks. Even if he goes to the underground base and implements military control, as an evolver, he will be in the upper class and there will be no shortage of food, so even if the food is gone, he will not care at all.
The key is, are these arrangements unintentional or deliberate? But no matter what it is, it has reflected that her status in Luo Yuan's heart is dispensable. Unfortunately, her time here is too short. No matter how good she performs, she cannot reverse Luo Yuan's treatment of her. bad impression.
She was about to leave, and if she didn't make a decision, she would have no chance. Suddenly she gritted her teeth, summoned up the courage and said with a trembling voice: "Brother Luo, can you come to my room? I have something to talk to you about."
"What can't be said here?" Luo Yuan asked doubtfully.
Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi looked over, and their suspicious looks made cold sweat break out on her forehead.
"It's about the underground base. I know something about it." She twisted her clothes tightly with her hands, and veins popped out on the back of her hands.
Luo Yuan's face suddenly became serious. He had just moved to Hedong City not long ago. It didn't matter that he had no connections and knew nothing about the information here. However, Huang Yueying was a local and had always lived nearby, so the information was much better informed than her. Without doubting that he was there, he said to Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi: "You guys wait for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Huang Yueying's heart was pounding as she walked in front. She opened the bedroom door and quickly closed it after Luo Yuan walked in.
Luo Yuangang was about to ask a question, but he saw Huang Yueying squatting down and reaching out to pull his trousers chain. After all, she has always been a well-behaved and married woman, and seducing men seems raw and direct.
"What are you doing?" Luo Yuan took a step back and said in a low voice.
The impression of Luo Yuan's killing without batting an eye stuck in her memory. Huang Yueying's body trembled, and her mind went blank in fear: "I... I..."
"Is there anything else? If not, I will leave?" Luo Yuan said expressionlessly.
Huang Yueying didn't expect that things would be self-defeating. Her face instantly lost all color. She grabbed him in a panic and said incoherently: "No... don't leave."
Luo Yuan looked at Huang Yueying's charming face with pleading and flattery, like an overly frightened skylark that would collapse to the ground at any time. He sighed secretly in his heart, but still hardened his heart: "Let's take this matter seriously. It didn’t happen, we’ve been here for a long time, let’s go!”
Huang Yueying nodded uneasily, with a forced smile on her face, which made Luo Yuan feel uncomfortable.
After a while, the two people walked out one after another. Master Wang kept scanning the two of them, but their expressions were very calm. Based on her experience, naturally she could not see anything, only Huang Jiahui's face was thoughtful.
… … … …
Luo Yuan and the others walked out of the community, cautiously. At this time, the sound of gunfire outside had completely stopped, leaving only the muffled roar like a siren coming from the mutated beast.
From time to time, huge shadows flew over the top, a gust of wind blew up, and garbage flew around. The dilapidated buildings on both sides cast distorted shadows under the bright moonlight. People were hurriedly walking in twos and threes on the street. These people were dragging their luggage and carrying sacks, and their footsteps were hurried, but no one made a sound. The whole street was full of laughter. There was a depressing silence.
From time to time, cars drove by on the street. Occasionally, some stopped and took a few people with them, but most of them passed quickly without looking back.
Half an hour later, as they slowly approached the large construction site, the crowd grew larger and larger, and the wide six-lane street began to become crowded.
Some people who drove over were unable to move forward at this time and were impatient to wait. After swearing a few times under their breaths, they got out of the car and dragged bags of luggage from the trunk.
Seeing this situation, Luo Yuan also frowned. He looked at the time. It was less than ten o'clock, and there were still two hours before the scheduled twelve o'clock. If the second lieutenant was not lying, it was still far from the time to open the entrance to the underground base.
"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui saw Luo Yuan's face looking a little unhappy, so she walked next to Luo Yuan and asked nervously.
Luo Yuan whispered: "It's far from time yet, and there are already so many people waiting. This is too abnormal."
"You never said how many people the underground base can accommodate?" Huang Jiahui asked worriedly.
Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Three hundred thousand!"
Huang Jiahui covered her mouth and looked pale. The three hundred thousand underground base quota, what does this mean to the nearly four to five million people in the city? She couldn't imagine it at all, but sympathizing with this kind of emotion was too luxurious in the last days. She quickly thought of the problem: "This should definitely be kept strictly confidential, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. You are saying that the secret has been leaked."
"I hope I guessed wrong!" Luo Yuan shook his head and said.
Nothing in the world is absolutely confidential, let alone a matter of life and death, the confidentiality is even lower.
Conscience and morality, for everyone who has ever lived in order, is a shackle that goes deep into the bone marrow and cannot be ignored even by the most vicious people. People are social animals, and everyone has some people they cannot let go of. Choosing is a painful choice for those who already have a place, because choosing also means giving up!
Secrecy becomes particularly fragile in this situation, and leaking becomes a matter of course.
And friends have friends, and relatives have relatives. Under such circumstances, the secret is not a secret.
