For some reason, the guard who was walking next to Shen Chi suddenly felt a little cold. He wrapped up his coat and muttered, "It looks like it's going to snow again in this damn weather."
Shen Chi looked up at the sky, yes, at noon today, there will be a heavy snowfall, it's the same everywhere.
The doorman brought Shen Chi to the reception room, and Shen Chi looked around. No wonder this dark and cramped place has developed a personality like Liu Mu's. Seeing an aunt pouring boiling water in the next room, the uncle hurriedly called out, "Hey, Aunt Li, this young man is looking for the dean!"
As soon as Aunt Li raised her head, she met a pair of icy eyes, which made her shiver.
But she still glanced at Shen Chi's clothes habitually.
Although the clothing store that Shen Chi broke into was not a luxury store, it was still a mid-range brand. What's more, with his appearance, even if he was wearing a street stall, he looked extraordinary, especially his hands, fingers were white and slender, At first glance, he is used to being pampered.
Aunt Li had a double smile on her face, "The dean doesn't go to work until nine o'clock, if you don't mind the young man, wait here first? Hey, it's cold today, I'll make you a cup of tea first! "
nine o'clock. Shen Chi looked at his watch, it was only seven o'clock, and there were still two hours left.
He frowned, decided not to wait, and quickly called Aunt Li who was about to pour water: "Aunt Li, the dean will not be here until two hours later, can you let me see—"
The uncle over there had already consciously and quietly told Aunt Li about the situation, and Aunt Li looked at Shen Chi and nodded.
"I don't know how old the child is this year. Is there any birthmark or something? Several children have been taken away in the past two years, and I don't know if they are still there." Aunt Li said.
Shen Chi smiled shyly, "He has a light blue birthmark in the shape of a leaf on his arm."
Then Aunt Li was taken aback, "How could it be him?"
"Is he really here?" Shen Chi had just the right amount of surprise and eagerness on his face, "Can you let me meet him?"
Aunt Li glanced at Shen Chi hesitantly, "—but, that child is already seven years old?" This young man looked so young and only in his early twenties, how could he have such a big child.
Shen Chi nodded quickly, "Yes, seven years old! I was only fifteen or sixteen..."
Only then did Aunt Li believe it, she nodded and said, "The child is still there, but—"
"how?"
"It's not troublesome to see him. I'll call him right away, but this kid has not been very good-tempered since he was a child."
"It's okay." Shen Chi said sincerely, "I was the one who felt sorry for him."
Aunt Li thought to herself, what kind of shit luck did that kid Liu Mu have, that his biological father came to the door! However, it's fine if this kid is taken away. You know, the older the child is, the more he eats. Liu Mu's bad temper is not an obedient idiot, and the dean is eager to get rid of it! People who come to adopt children over the age of five are not so attractive. The younger they are, the easier it is to raise them. When they are seven years old, they remember things, and they may not be able to take them home.
Not long after, Aunt Li returned to the living room with a skinny boy.
In the previous life, Shen Chi met Liu Mu for the first time. He was already seventeen years old. Although he still had a bit of youthful youthfulness, the end of the world is an era where people will mature quickly. As a high-level natural power user However, if you don't care about his personality, but only look at his appearance, there are very few people who can compare with him. In the last days, appearance is not so important, but if he grows like Liu Mu, it is not too much to call him a monster.
But at this time, Liu Mu was just a sallow and thin little boy, as thin as a paper man, and his clothes seemed to be empty. He said he was seven years old, but he was much thinner than ordinary seven-year-olds. Looks like five or six years old. Her black hair was long and short and a bit messy. Her long bangs almost covered half of her face, and she couldn't even see her eyes clearly. Perhaps because she was too thin, her chin was almost sharp.
With just one glance, Shen Chi was sure that the boy was Liu Mu.
Because, the slightly mocking smile on the corner of his lips was exactly the same as him when he grew up.
Although he is only a seven-year-old child at this time, if he is as immature and ignorant as other children, how can he survive the apocalypse alone
Aunt Li saw Liu Mu standing still in a daze, and pulled him: "Mu, don't talk quickly, this is your father!" She pointed at Shen Chi and said in a slightly fierce tone, afraid that Shen Chi would change his mind, don't Liu died, so their orphanage still has to feed him.
Shen Chi saw Liu Mu looking up at him, his eyes behind the messy black hair were extremely bright, but he still didn't speak.
"Ah-mu, right?" Shen Chi tried his best to make his smile look friendly, but even he himself felt that his expression at this time was probably very weird.
Liu Mu still didn't speak, Aunt Li explained with some embarrassment: "This kid, he didn't like to talk since he was a child..." And he was gloomy, looking a little permeable.
She was talking, but Liu Mu suddenly smiled, a smile that could be called "innocent and cute, pure and innocent", obediently called: "Father."
Shen Chi felt a little itchy in his throat, cleared his throat and said, "Can I stay alone with him for a while?"
Aunt Li nodded, and quickly said: "Of course, you can tell him that besides being quiet, this child is basically a good obedient child!" She tried hard to sell Liu Mu, but she forgot in a blink of an eye. I also said before that the child has a bad temper.
"I mean, can I take him out for a walk?" Shen Chi said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send him back before noon. Even if I want to adopt him back, I have to come back to go through the formalities..."
Aunt Li frowned and said hesitantly, "This..."
Shen Chi remained silent, and stuffed all the dozen or so red notes from supermarkets and small clothing stores into Aunt Li's hands.
Aunt Li looked around furtively, quickly put all the money into her pocket, and said decisively: "Go! Just send it back before five o'clock this afternoon, and I will help you talk to the dean!"
Shen Chi smiled, and successfully took Liu Mu's hand and walked out.
"Ah, wait a minute." When Shen Chi stopped, Liu Mu's hand tightened immediately.
Shen Chi suddenly felt sad, sighed, just took out a down jacket from his backpack, and put it on the thin Liu Mu, because he was too thin, obviously it was the smallest set of clothes that Shen Chi took, He looked empty when he put it on.
"Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you." Shen Chi looked into Liu Mu's eyes and said seriously, "Starting today, I will never abandon you."
Liu Mu stared at him, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Really?" His voice was immature.
Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Shen Chi nodded, "From today onwards, you will be called Shen Liumu, my son Shen Liumu."
In the previous life, the only person who didn't abandon him was this person in front of him, so in this life, he would never abandon him, and no matter what, he would protect him well. Except for him in front of him, Shen Chi could no longer trust anyone, only This person who tried his best to save himself time and time again for himself, in this life, he is willing to depend on him for life.
On the same day, Shen Chi took Shen Liumu on a direct plane to Shanghai. Almost without anyone noticing, Shen Chi stole the boarding pass from a father and son beside him.
Shen Liumu's eyes widened, seeing how Shen Chi took his hand on the plane gracefully and calmly after stealing the boarding pass, while the father fumbled for all the pockets on his body inexplicably, he only thought that the boarding pass was After losing it, he went back to look for it, and at this time, Shen Chi had already boarded the plane with Shen Liumu.
As long as you stay in the apocalypse for a few years, you won't feel guilty about doing this kind of thing. In fact, Shen Chi is also relieved. There is only this father and son in the waiting room. Since their plane ticket is to Shanghai, then he I had no choice but to go to Shanghai. He only knew that it would be better to be farther away from Beijing at this time.
After the end of the world, Beijing is a besieged city that everyone desperately wants to squeeze into, because there is a large amount of food reserves there, and it is also the political center of the country. It is undoubtedly the safest with the army guarding it, and it can ensure that it will not starve to death.
Taiyuan is not too far from Beijing. At that time, this place will inevitably be involved in the whirlpool. Everyone wants to go to Beijing, and the city of Beijing is only so big, so the degree of difficulty and danger on this road is far beyond imagination. On the contrary, the farther away from Beijing, the better. There are relatively few masters, and those who are capable will rush to Beijing early.
Shen Chi is confident of surviving anywhere, he has adapted to the atmosphere of the end times, he knows how to survive, and at this time, it is safer to stay away from certain people. He is not in a hurry, not at all, the days are still far away for revenge, and he has enough patience and perseverance.
One day, he will also go to Beijing, but it is best to wait a few years, when the situation stabilizes, and when the circle of influence in Beijing has been roughly divided and relatively balanced.
"You—" Sitting on the plane, Shen Liumu opened his mouth.
Shen Chi looked at him with a smile, "I want to call you Dad."
Shen Liumu pursed his lips and remained silent.
The stewardess came over and asked politely what he wanted to drink, Shen Liumu was a little startled, his long black hair half covered his eyes, he was very afraid that if they were discovered, they would be thrown from the plane.
He began to wonder if he had made the right decision, because the person beside him looked so dangerous...
"Give me a glass of orange juice and pour him a glass of milk, thank you." Shen Chi said politely, the young and handsome appearance was a bit lethal, making the stewardess blush immediately, and the service to them was very meticulous.
After pouring milk for Shen Liumu, he said kindly to him: "Little friend, you can add more after drinking it."
Shen Liumu didn't answer.
When the stewardess walked away, "I know you're not my father." He suddenly lowered his voice and said.
Shen Chi was surprised, he looked at Shen Liumu.
"I didn't grow up in an orphanage. I was thrown into the orphanage when I was four years old." Shen Liumu's voice was suppressed.
It was the first time Shen Chi knew about this, but it didn't matter, it didn't affect anything.
"I remember my biological father, he was cut into many pieces by my mother with a knife, and the blood flowed all over the place..."
Uh, when a child who is seven years old but looks at him who is only five or six years old says this in a flat tone, it really feels a bit eerie.
"So, why are you arresting me? I'm disobedient, I don't know how to work, and I have a bad temper," he paused, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his thin arms. The arms that belonged to a child didn't look smooth and delicate. , but the skin is a bit rough, even on this short arm, there are several scars scattered all over the place, "Look, I'm so thin and I don't look good, even if I'm kidnapped, I won't be able to sell for a lot of money."
Seeing Shen Liumu's earnest face with a bit of anxiety, Shen Chi sighed, and tried his best to be gentle, "First of all, I didn't mean to kidnap you."
Shen Liumu was surprised.
"Liumu, no matter what you were like before, no matter who your father is or your mother, from today on, you will be my son, okay? I will take care of you."
Shen Liumu looked at the man in front of him with beautiful long eyebrows and bright eyes, so beautiful and gentle, his heart beat faster for some reason, he was puzzled: "Why me?"
"Because you're driftwood!" Shen Chi smiled and patted his head, "Don't think too much, I'll take you to Happy Valley in Shanghai, okay?"
When we arrived in Shanghai, it was 10:40, and even if we played, we could only play for less than an hour.
Take it as the last happy memory for Liumu.
Shen Chi bought two tickets to Happy Valley with the last banknotes on his body. After all, Shen Liumu was still a child, and he quickly forgot his previous suspicions when he came to this kind of place, but Shen Chi could still see the defensiveness in his eyes.
What a clever boy! He didn't completely let his guard down.
This is the Liu Mu who can make the bosses of all parties give some face in the future! In the orphanage, he was able to survive the apocalypse at this age, and still walk to that step alone. It can only be said that Shen Chi's "partners" in the past were not as good as him, and they were far behind.
"Do you want it?" Shen Chi pointed at the half-person-high teddy bear hanging on the wall.
Shen Liumu glanced at him hesitantly, then nodded.
Shen Chi smiled slightly, and asked the boss to take the air gun and shoot it for toys. If it was him a long time ago, he might not even be able to get the smallest doll, but he is now Tangmen, Tangmen in Sichuan, his Thousands of receivers were perfect, and the hidden weapons he used were all tricky, not to mention that it was just a simple small air gun.
Stuffing the teddy bear into Shen Driftwood's arms, "Take it!"
Shen Liumu tightly hugged the teddy bear who was almost as tall as him, and his gaze became a little closer to Shen Chi.
Shen Chi was looking at him with a smile when the sky suddenly became cloudy! His smile suddenly froze on his face.
I glanced at my watch, twelve o'clock sharp, here we come!
In a blink of an eye, goose feathers and heavy snow fell one after another, and people around me shouted in surprise: "... ah, it's snowing heavily!"
"It hasn't snowed in Shanghai for many years..."
"...wow, such a big snow..."
"...Mom, mom, it's snowing, it's snowing..."
"..."
All sounds of surprise.
Shen Chi looked up at the almost completely dark sky with a calm and sad expression.
Now they don't know that the next moment will be hell.
Fist-sized hailstones fell from the sky.
Shen Chi picked up Shen Liumu and rushed towards the underground theater not far away, leaving behind all the terrified screams and chaotic footsteps. His steps were steady and fast, and Shen Liumu, who was held in his arms, He couldn't describe that speed, he just felt that it was incredibly fast, and the warm and wide embrace of the person in front of him was reassuring.
He huddled in this brand new down jacket, hugging the neck of the man in front of him tightly, never wanting to let go.
Turning his toes to avoid a large piece of hail, Shen Chi had already seen the blood on the ground start to spread.
He knew that it would only take a few minutes for these people to get up from the ground again, but at this time, they were no longer humans, but zombies.
In this amusement park, it was a sea of joy a moment ago, but now it has become a hell on earth.
The basement theater was empty. Shen Chi had long seen the temporarily closed sign at the entrance of this underground theater, and after choosing this location, he took Shen Liumu around here.
People's psychology is always very strange. When a disaster happened, they would subconsciously choose other places when they saw such a sign. There are many buildings nearby that can be avoided, not just this one, so there was no one here at all. .
Shen Chi chose the smallest auditorium, closed the heavy door, and wrapped the chain lock he had just picked up many times before he fastened the lock. He tried to push it, and the gap between the doors was even I was relieved when I couldn't even stretch out my hand.
Because of the small space in this small auditorium, there is only such a door, and there are no other exits, which means that they are safe for the time being.
At this time, Shen Chi needed a space for Shen Liumu that would not be disturbed by others.
He reached out and touched the forehead of the child in his arms, and sure enough, he had a fever.
On this day, the end of the world came, and at the same time, some people in the human race began to awaken. Shen Chi guessed that Shen Liumu's aptitude should be the first group of people to awaken. In the end, he bet right.
"...don't... go..." When he put Shen Liumu down, he clung to Shen Chi's clothes and didn't let go. Shen Chi softened his face, grabbed his hand and said, "I'm here, I'm here with you you."
In the darkness, Shen Chi hugged Shen Liumu tightly, feeling the body of the child in his arms was hot, and soon his hair was wet with sweat.
But he knew that Shen Liumu would survive, he had always been a strong child, when he was alone, he had survived the most difficult moments, let alone now, with himself.
In the last days, it is already a kind of happiness to have another person who can depend on each other for life.
Liumu, in this life, I only have you.
