"Waiting for your parents?" Liu Tao asked suspiciously.
"Yes, just now when I went home and saw that my parents were not at home, I left a note for them, telling them to come to school to find me. If I leave now, I'm afraid they won't be able to find me."
"How long do you have to wait?" Glasses continued to ask beside him.
"At least until dark."
"Then let's wait with you." Fatty said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he was pulled aside by her even fatter mother. Liu Chang didn't need to think about it, what her mother would say to him after he was pulled aside.
She was a woman full of street life, and usually had no opinions—this can be seen from the huge contrast in her attitude before and after going to the convenience store, but it is undeniable that her maternal love for Fatty is absolutely sincere, Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed here as soon as the red mist fell.
She didn't want to leave the big team with Fatty, so she pulled him aside and said something about not waiting.
So, after Liu Chang took a look at them, he turned his head away.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you go first. I'll wait for my parents here. If I wait for them, I'll go back and find you." Liu Chang said casually, but everyone knows that in this foggy world without communication, two dials The separation of people means that they may never meet again.
After hearing Liu Chang's words, Fatty and Glasses showed awkward expressions on their faces, and then they were pulled aside by their respective parents. Afterwards, the two adults smiled at Liu Chang: "Then let's go first."
Afterwards, they hurriedly pulled their children and left here.
After two or three steps, the mist covered part of their figures, making them blurry, and only one person remained here.
"I'll stay with you." Liu Tao found a desk next to Liu Chang and sat down, "Anyway, I won't see my parents anymore, so I'll stay here with you, and I don't know anyone when I go out. "
"Ah?" Liu Chang was a little surprised when he heard his words.
You know, in the dormitory, Liu Tao is the most out of gregarious one. Because he spends more than 80% of his spare time every day reading and studying, so he rarely communicates with other people, and because he likes to show off his knowledge, relatively speaking, the other three people don't like him very much. Therefore, it was him who chose to stay with him this time, which surprised Liu Chang.
"Is Liu Tao leaving?" Fatty's voice came from deep in the mist.
"Let's go, I'll stay with him, and we will leave together if we don't wait for his parents before sunset." Liu Tao waved his hands at several vague figures two or three steps away.
The person over there responded and left here.
With just one step, the blurry figure just now disappeared completely.
"Actually, you don't have to stay with me. It's not worth it."
"You mean to say that we don't have such a deep friendship?"
"Even if you have a deep friendship, there is no need to do such a thing."
"I just don't want to be with those two families." Liu Tao stretched out his hand and asked Liu Chang, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
"No, I don't know how to smoke, and it's not like you don't know." Liu Chang spread his hands, "And, don't you also know how to smoke?"
"It's okay anyway, but now that the atmosphere is so depressing, I just want to smoke one. I didn't smoke before because I couldn't bear the cigarette money. Now that the end of the world is here, who cares about the cigarette money."
"That's true." Liu Chang smiled, took out a few candies from his backpack and handed them to Liu Tao, "I don't have cigarettes, so let's make do with candies."
"Hahaha, candy is the most sought-after high-calorie food in the apocalypse, aren't you afraid of wasting it?" After peeling off the candy wrapper, Liu Tao stuffed the candy into his mouth and said vaguely: "I know why I don't want to talk to those two families. Are people together?"
"Why eh?" Liu Chang was also curious.
"Because I don't feel like I fit in, it's two families and I'm an orphan..."
"Orphan?" Hearing these words, Liu Chang's heart trembled, and then subconsciously reached into his pocket and touched his father's half finger. At this time, the skin on the finger had lost its elasticity, and when he pinched it lightly, it became a small pit, and it could never return to its original appearance.
"Well, orphan." Liu Tao looked at the blood-red sky outside, and said nothing.
The two waited like this for a while, until they became anxious and bored, Liu Chang went out for a while to check the situation outside, and then came back and continued to wait.
Time passed quickly and slowly, and after two or three tossings like this, the sky gradually darkened, and Liu Chang's parents still did not arrive as scheduled.
"I can't wait any longer, the outside world is changing too fast." Liu Tao and Liu Chang stood at the school gate, looking at the world covered by wild grass outside.
"The grass is as tall as half a person. If we wait any longer, we will probably lose sight of the road tomorrow." Liu Tao frowned, "The outside world is becoming more and more dangerous now, which reminds me of The dangerous Amazon jungle. You know, according to the law of the jungle, night is always ten times more dangerous than daytime."
"Well, don't wait." Liu Chang nodded with difficulty. Although he was very obsessed with seeing his parents, his reason told him that there was no point in waiting any longer.
At this time, most of the campus crowd had dispersed, and those people didn't know where to find their own footholds. There were almost no people who wanted to spend the night at the school.
"Let's go, brother." Seeing Liu Chang's ugly expression, Liu Tao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Go." The latter nodded, and stepped into the outside world first.
Stepping outside on the original road, the two of them were filled with strange feelings. In just half a day, the humanistic atmosphere of the whole city had been reduced to the lowest point.
At this time, the outside is really full of weeds, not only weeds, all kinds of plants, or emerge from the soil or from the cracks in the bricks, and grow vigorously. For the first time, those originally hard concrete roads were at an absolute disadvantage in the contest with life. The entire pavement is completely broken up by vegetation, and various plants grow from it.
And the streets are quieter too.
When Liu Chang returned home for the first time, the crowds who were watching the excitement or panic were gone. There were no fools. After the initial period of panic, everyone seemed to have made their own plans.
Some are hiding in their own homes, while others are seeking help from the outside world. On the street, it is rare to see people doing nothing.
The goal of Liu Chang and his wife is still to find a convenience store.
In fact, Kaifeng is the same as all cities. There are actually many convenience stores and small supermarkets on both sides of the street. Almost every few hundred meters, there is one, but because the end has just come for a few hours, most of the people are still alive, and the owners of those convenience stores, due to their unique advantages, usually lock their doors and go in by themselves. That comfort zone.
Therefore, Liu Chang and his party searched for several convenience stores, but failed to enter. But when passing by the entrance of a large supermarket, they heard the sound of fighting inside.
"Someone is fighting inside." The red mist has been rising for several hours, and the mist is very permeable. Now the whole world can't see their fingers inside and outside the house. Two people stood at the door of the supermarket, looking at the fog behind the thick fog. Listening to the "jingling" sound inside, each has a different idea.
"There are a lot of things in this supermarket." Liu Tao knows that this chain supermarket has a large space and a complete range of things, which can supply thousands of people with food and drink for a long time.
"But it's not something we can eat! There are at least hundreds of people fighting with weapons!" Liu Chang frowned.
"Well, it seems to be." Liu Tao also frowned, "Then let's go, we can't beat them, even going into troubled waters is dangerous."
"Okay, let's go."
Melting themselves into the dense fog again, the two walked all the way, and after a few more "closed doors" from convenience stores, they finally found a store with an unlocked door. The two were overjoyed, and the moment they were about to enter the convenience store, a person came out first.
"Who?" Seeing that someone wanted to break in, someone picked up an iron rod and shouted subconsciously.
