Bai Xiaolu felt that he was not only running, but also flying.
No one has ever clenched his wrist as hard as Gold Tooth Boss, as if he was unwilling to let go, and even poured his own strength and life into his body continuously, making his heart beat wildly, adrenaline secreted crazily, and the whole body People are like stepping on cotton.
He couldn't tell what it felt like, but he kept asking himself in his heart: "He trusts me? I trust him? Why!"
"Ding!"
There was a strange sound from behind, which seemed to be the sound of the combat parts of the landmine being bounced high.
But Bai Xiaolu is not afraid at all, he can hear the firm and powerful breath of Boss Jinya, feel his incomparably exuberant fire of life, and his thunderous growl is still echoing in his ears, yes, definitely yes , they can definitely survive!
"Jump!"
The golden tooth boss yanked him, and the two of them were still twenty or thirty meters away from the foxhole.
"boom!"
The mine exploded behind them, and the shock wave, like a billowing heat, pushed them out, right into the foxhole.
Bai Xiaolu felt his entire back was burning, and the flames quickly penetrated into the lungs, the pain was so dizzy that he couldn't speak at all.
But the intense sting told every nerve ending in him—he was alive!
"Hehe, hee hee, ha ha ha ha!"
After panting in the foxhole for a long time, he let out a difficult and distorted laugh. The boy breathed in the scorching air, enjoying every vivid pain in his body.
Gold Tooth Boss didn't lie to him, they really did, they survived!
"Eight seconds six."
Just as he was thinking, the head of Boss Gold Tooth appeared above his foxhole. The wasteland overlord vomited blood and grinned, "Little brat, if you participate in the pre-war Olympics, you can win the championship."
Bai Xiaolu waved to Boss Jinya, expressing his heartfelt gratitude and gratitude, but felt that something was wrong, thought about it carefully, and said with wide eyes: "Eight seconds to six? Boss didn't say that mines take at least ten seconds." Will it explode later?"
"yes?"
The golden tooth boss scratched his scorched beard, and said casually, "I guess, there must be errors, right?"
"You—guess?"
Bai Xiaolu was stunned, "Actually, you don't know when the mines will explode?"
"nonsense."
The golden tooth boss took it for granted, "Do you think that I have done such absurd things as using viscous gel to delay the explosion of landmines before? If not, how could I know when the landmines will explode!"
"This-"
Bai Xiaolu was dumbfounded, half angry, half depressed, "You, you lied to me!"
"so-"
The golden tooth boss grinned, stretched out his big trembling hand, and patted Bai Xiaolu's face twice, "Little devil, I told you not to trust anyone a long time ago."
Wan Zanghai staggered and ran towards the two of them.
His body was covered with guns and bullets.
Bai Xiaolu and Jinya Boss looked at each other, instantly forgetting the quarrel between the two, but they both stimulated their brainwaves to the limit and locked on Wanzanghai firmly.
Wan Zanghai's eyes kept rolling, looking at the two men who were bruised and bruised, but still in good spirits, and then at the vulture scout falcons circling in the sky behind them, hesitated for half a second, and expressed a sincere look on his face. With a smile, he first pulled the golden tooth boss up, and then opened his arms to Bai Xiaolu.
"Congratulations on your narrow escape, little deer, it looks like we're going to have a great time!"
…
"Wow, wow!"
There was the sound of chains being dragged.
"Squeak creak!"
The harsh grinding and rolling of winches and pulleys.
The wind and sand dissipated, and a cool breeze rushed in. An underground wine cellar and a small shelter appeared in front of the three of them.
"Oh oh oh, there is always electricity here, this time it is really saved!"
Wan Zanghai danced and yelled.
They did feel a bit unlucky, as if all the bad luck was consumed the moment the white deer stepped on a landmine.
After wandering around the wind power plant for a short time, they found the ruins of the former winery, and followed the traces on the ruins to find the entrance to the wine cellar and the shelter.
This is a large-scale wine cellar, about half the size of a football field before the war, and it relies on wind power plants to provide energy—although most of the wind power plants were destroyed in the nuclear war, there are still one or two in the end. The unit maintains normal operation, enough to support the daily use of a small wine cellar and shelter.
In the later period of the war, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the governments of various countries encouraged the people to dig and renovate shelters by themselves. The authorities would provide the greatest support in terms of energy supply. This wind power plant was built for this purpose and adopted a fully automated design. Even so, some of the units It is still a small miracle that it can be maintained until now, perhaps, it is a miracle specially prepared for them.
The wine cellar still maintains a constant temperature and humidity. Most of the wine is not spoiled, and even if it is spoiled, it can still be used as domestic water.
A corner of the wine cellar has been remodeled to form a small but well-equipped living area, including bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms, as well as a small warehouse with a variety of materials piled up. It is simply a small building. Small supermarket too.
It seems that the owner of the winery was prepared to persist underground for a long time, and planned not to go out for ten or twenty years.
Unfortunately, they are still dead.
The three found a dead body in the bedroom. Judging from the rotting clothes on his body, it should be the hostess of the winery.
Her corpse exuded a faint blue light, and some of her bones were deformed, which explained the cause of her death—either radiation syndrome, or the bacterial invasion of various biological and chemical weapons, viral infection, or a combination of them .
Next to the bedroom is the living room. In the middle of the living room is a colorful carpet covered with colorful cartoon patterns. On the carpet is an unfinished toy chess set. Dice, toy banknotes and toy title deeds are scattered all over the floor. .
There were two corpses curled up in the corner, one big and one small. It should be a middle-aged man hugging his child tightly. There were also a few opened medicine bottles scattered beside them, and green pills were scattered everywhere.
"VE44 Nerve Antidote."
The golden tooth boss knelt down on one knee and picked up a medicine bottle, "Within a safe dose, intramuscular injection after being dissolved in water can effectively relieve most of the damage caused by neurobiological weapons. However, if you take it directly orally five times If the dose is above the safe level, it is a safe, efficient, and painless suicide drug—directly paralyzes the central nervous system, without any feeling, and can fall into eternal sleep.”
"I don't know."
Bai Xiaolu said, "They still have so many supplies, most of which are vacuum-packed cans, including compressed drinking water, and the energy supply is not lacking. They have everything, and they can stay here for ten or twenty. Years or even longer, why commit suicide?"
"No, it's not everything. They prepared everything, but lost one of the most important things."
The golden tooth boss whispered, "Hope, they lost hope."
Bai Xiaolu was momentarily at a loss for words.
He didn't understand what "hope was lost" really meant.
Because he never had hope.
There is no hope, and there is no loss.
"If I remember correctly, the owner of this winery seems to be called 'John' or something. He loves his wife very much. His wife was also a good wine maker back then, and all nearby wineries know about it."
Gold tooth old avenue, "Poor old John, who had prepared everything like a squirrel for the winter, must have spent all his time remodeling this refuge, only to find in the end that his beloved wife hadn't had time After entering the refuge, he was attacked by viruses or radiation. In the end, he could only guard so many supplies, and watched his wife mutate, fail, and die.
"This incident must have crushed old John and made him lose all hope. Maybe he suspected that he and his son were also infected; maybe he didn't think he could last until the end of the war; maybe he knew the war was over, but the outside world It has become a hell on earth. As a wine maker, he can't fight against those who hold guns and operate drones. Sooner or later, his winery will become a den of demons, and his son will become a beast. Prey, so, he played the last game of chess with his son, while he played, he tricked his son into taking an excessive amount of nerve antidote, so he went to reunite with the child's mother without any pain."
After the golden tooth boss finished speaking, he sighed, took a blanket from the sofa next to him, and gently covered the dead father and son.
Bai Xiaolu was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "Let's carry them to the bed, next to his wife and his mother."
The golden tooth boss took a deep look at Bai Xiaolu.
"right."
Wan Zanghai also said, "This living room is quite nice, but there are two corpses in the corner that are always creepy, get them out, we can have a good rest here."
"it is good."
Gold Tooth's eyelids drooped, and together with the blanket, he picked up the two corpses that had become very light.
Bai Xiaolu went up to help, carefully supported the heads of Old John and his son, and sent them back to the bedroom with Gold Tooth Boss, lying next to the female corpse, and covered the whole family carefully with a rotten and moldy quilt.
Only then did Bai Xiaolu see a dusty photo on the bedside table. After brushing off the dust, it was the old John's family before the war.
They were a very strong and happy couple, with the peculiar dark complexion and white teeth of the local people, and the golden hair seemed to shine by itself.
The child among them held a bunch of ruby-like grapes, picked one and stuffed it into his mouth, smiling more happily than adults.
The background is the vineyard, which is ten times brighter and brighter than the one described by Gold Tooth Boss. It reminds people of those good days, those good old days, those good old days that are gone forever.
