The two of them walked forward, and in the rooms on both sides of the passage, some people were sleeping, while others were empty.
"Have you seen my parents?"
Every time he passed a room with people in it, Du Gang would ask Chu Zixuan.
He had shown the photos of his parents to Chu Zixuan at his home.
Unfortunately, the answer I got was always "No!".
In the air-raid shelter, strictly speaking, there are six main passages, three horizontally, three vertically, and three vertically. The reason why these six roads are called main passages is because they are all arranged with an exit.
Other roads are all attached to these six roads. Most of them are as complicated as a maze. If someone unfamiliar comes in, it is very easy to get lost.
Soon, Du Gang and the two got lost while walking. After arriving at a fork, they found that there were several people stationed on one of the roads here.
"For what?"
Far away, a few people stationed there shouted.
Du Gang and the two came closer and saw that these people were all wearing police uniforms.
"I'm here to find my parents!"
"Who are your parents?"
Du Gang took out a photo of the three of them with his parents from his pocket and handed it over, "My father's name is Du Kang and my mother's name is Liu Ling."
Several policemen did not relax their vigilance, still holding their guns and watching them, but one of them separated and took the photo.
Several people took a look at each, and after confirming that the child inside looked similar to the strong man in front of them, they shook their heads and said: "I have never seen it, and I have never heard of this name. This is a food storage channel. You can go and look elsewhere. Bar!"
After saying that, a person came up and handed the photo back.
When Du Gang saw this, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't lose heart. Instead, he asked, "If I want to find someone, where should I go?"
Among the policemen, a man who looked like the captain pointed to the middle passage and said: "When you walk along this road, you will pass by a particularly large hall, where the leaders arrange their work. You have arrived. There, ask the leader if the population has been counted..."
"Thanks!"
After getting the answer, Du Gang said goodbye to several police officers and quickly walked down the middle road.
After walking for hundreds of meters and passing more than a dozen rooms, he didn't meet his parents. After turning a corner, a very large hall appeared in front of him, and around this hall, many passages could be seen. Here, there is a paper number posted above the entrance of the passage.
There are some tables and chairs in the hall. There are several uniformed staff sitting in front of the tables and chairs. Behind them, there are many people standing in line. At a glance, the queue is so long that the entire aisle is packed. .
Chu Zixuan whispered: "This is registering food. It should be that people who went out to look for supplies have returned. It is similar to a scoring situation..."
He saw Du Gang looking at him with bright eyes, shook his head and said: "No, I looked for these people when I first found them, and your parents were not there!"
Du Gang saw that the staff over there were very busy at work, so he didn't bother him. Instead, he stepped forward and asked a middle-aged man who had just finished registration and seemed ready to leave and return to his own passage.
"Hello, uncle, I would like to ask, have you met my parents?"
Du Gang took out the photo again and handed it over as he spoke.
The middle-aged man seemed to be in a good mood and asked with a smile: "Why, are you separated from your parents? This air-raid shelter is indeed complicated enough. I can only remember which passage I live in... "
After the man rambled for a while, he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. There are quite a few people living here..."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Du Gang quickly asked again, "Are all of you people here going out to look for supplies?"
He passed through the previous passage and asked those people, knowing that those who stayed in the air-raid shelter all needed to work, and were divided into two groups, one group was those who were responsible for keeping watch at night, and the other group was those who needed to go out to look for supplies during the day.
"Yes, they are all here. We all came back together, led by a specialist... I was the first to register. Your parents may be queuing up behind you, so just wait here!"
After saying that, the man walked towards a passage by himself, mumbling something like hiding some cigarettes next time.
But Du Gang frowned, "Could it be that my parents are the ones responsible for the night watch?"
At this time, Chu Zixuan suddenly turned around and glanced at Ma Li, who was being carried on Du Gang's back.
"Du Gang, I may have found Ma Li's parents!"
Du Gang said quickly: "Let's go, take me there!"
Before the end, he had a phone call with his parents and found out that they were staying with Ma Li's parents. Now that he had found Ma Li's parents, he would know where his parents were.
"Hey, don't squeeze!"
"Where are you going? The doors outside are closed..."
Du Gang was so tall that he had to squeeze in to get in when he passed by several lines of people crowding the passage. Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
Although the candlelight in the passage was weak, everyone present was not blind. They could see Du Gang's very developed and hard muscles. They only shouted a few words, but no one had any intention of taking action.
Soon, the two of them crowded near Ma Li's parents.
"Uncle Ma, Aunt Ma!"
When he arrived in front of the two of them, Du Gang quickly shouted.
This time, it was their turn to be confused. They looked up at Du Gang's burly figure and didn't recognize him for a moment.
"Who are you… ?"
"I'm Du Gang!"
"Du Gang?"
After Ma Li's father heard this, he got a little closer and stared at his face carefully for a few times. Then he suddenly said: "It's you. Oh, you kid. I haven't seen him for half a year. Why have you grown so tall..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze, "Wait, aren't you in Nanyuan City?"
Du Gang nodded, "We are back, Ma Li and I are together!"
As he spoke, he turned sideways, revealing the horse power on his back.
"horsepower!"
As soon as the middle-aged man and woman saw the power, they couldn't control it anymore and pounced on it.
"Mali, what's wrong with you?!"
"Child, wake up, I am mom..."
Seeing how anxious they were, Du Gang quickly said: "He is still alive, but one of his legs was bitten off by an insect..."
After hearing what he said, Ma Li's parents burst into tears.
"My poor child..."
Hearing their cries, the people who were blocked from the road and ran to their mouths to complain before they could say anything, all shut their mouths and walked forward while comforting, "It's good to be alive!"
They didn't know that Du Gang and others came from Nanyuan, they just thought they were bitten by insects in the city.
Du Gang waited in the passage for Ma Li's parents to calm down for a while, and after their emotions stabilized enough, he asked: "Uncle Ma, Aunt Ma, do you know where my parents have gone?"
At this time, Ma Li's father came to his senses. He frowned and shook his head: "You are actually back. Did the army move so fast... Your parents, they set off not long after dawn yesterday morning after knowing that the bugs were asleep. I went to Nanyuan to find you..."
"The two of us... because... because we are worried that when you come back, no one here... all..."
Du Gang could no longer hear the rest of the words.
In his mind, he kept echoing, "Your parents went to Nan Yuan to look for you yesterday morning!"
Hearing this sentence in Du Gang's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, directly shaking him so hard that he was about to fall sideways. Fortunately, Chu Zixuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to help him.
yesterday!
This meant that his parents spent a night in the outside world, and on this night, Ma Li broke a leg, Ji Zhiwen and Cao Yongyi died, Anya left, and even the entire Xingyuan County was in ruins!
Du Gang no longer dared to think about it...
