Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1642 News
With just a little more money, Xie Feng's situation suddenly changed drastically.

Dong Luorong's coin purse contained not only a lot of coins, but also a stack of crumpled banknotes that were randomly rolled up. There were also several large denomination bills, which seemed to be enough for her to spend at least for the next week.

Xie Feng hailed a taxi, and finally no longer had to rely on her legs to walk in the heavy rain; she sat on the back seat in a daze, repeatedly stroking Dong Luorong's coin purse with her fingers—and a spare hotel card that she took out of the bag. room card.

Dong Luorong definitely knew that if Xie Feng went back, it would not be safe for him.But she still left a way out for Xie Feng - when the Ministry of Security launched a city-wide raid, the place they were unlikely to go to was Dong Luorong's residence.

Xie Feng used to read books, especially martial arts novels, when describing two heroes when they first met, she would write about how they had the same temperament, hit it off right away, and became good brothers with sincerity; but she has never seen any two female characters. Had the same experience.

Now she knows, it's not that there is no one, it's just that no one has written it.

"This rain is so fucking annoying," the taxi-driver complained as he watched the wipers sway desperately, "I've lived for three or forty years, but I haven't seen such heavy rain recently. It's endless!"

Xie Feng hummed absently.She was thinking about how to report the news, so that the friends in the chat group would not be picked out by the security guards.The capsule hotel where she stayed last time should not have been seen by the security department; she is going to go back to see if anyone she knows is there and borrow a mobile phone.

The driver didn't care whether she responded or not, and complained on his own; he said a lot, his family was hospitalized, he was accidentally shot by security guards, and his child's school was closed because the curriculum was not approved by the empire , cost a lot everywhere, and so on—"I saved money for a long time before, and I wanted to take my children to see the next star. Now it's good, the next star is gone, and the money is gone."

"I used to want to see it very much," Xie Feng was reminded of his wish when he was a child.Talk to the driver like that, and it's like her world hasn't fallen apart and it's just a normal, kind of unlucky day.

"That's right, I've only seen that kind of red maple on TV, it's beautiful and tall..." the driver sighed.

The huge red maple that rises straight from the ground, as if it is about to touch the universe, has always been the unique scenery of Morning Star. It is said that when people walk in it, they will have the illusion of returning to the prehistoric era——

Xie Feng straightened up suddenly.

Wait a moment.

That's right...the two planets are so similar, if you want to say something that is unique to the morning star, but not on the afternoon star, isn't it the red maple tree?

It and the general maple actually belong to two subjects.The red maple forests that can be seen everywhere are extremely magnificent and shocking even if you watch them on TV. There are even cities that are built on the basis of red maple trees and have become famous tourist attractions.If the apocalypse is related to Hongfeng, or it is the cause of the extinction of the morning star, then of course the people of the empire will not be worried!
As for how Hong Feng could cause the destruction of the planet, she didn't know either.

However, how do evolutionists explain it?Where did it come from?It doesn't look like Qiu Changtian is lying. Evolvers did appear on Morningstar. What do they have to do with Hongfeng?
Xie Feng thought for a long time, but couldn't think of an answer. The car had already arrived at the destination.She paid the fare, and the driver gave her an umbrella, which was said to have been left behind by another passenger. When she walked towards the capsule hotel with the umbrella under the heavy rain, she almost felt that she had returned to the past.

Fortunately in the misfortune, there is another friend in the hotel who also met on the street.Although he was not familiar with him, Xie Feng still borrowed his mobile phone and sent out the warning as comprehensively as possible - she was completely exposed, and she hoped that no one else would be implicated except herself.

"Don't let people know you and I know each other," Xie Feng told the boy when returning the phone, "otherwise not only I will be in trouble, but you will be in trouble too."

The boy hesitated for a moment, and understood the weight of the matter, and asked, "What about you? Do you have a place to go?"

No.

Even if she had nowhere to go, Xie Feng still didn't dare to stay for a moment, even though the torrential rain outside seemed to wash away the whole world, she still walked into the rain with the weak little umbrella that was trembling with the rain.The umbrella is almost useless. When the wind blows, people are like walking in the waves.

As if there was nothing left to worry about, she thought.

Meeting Dong Luorong was already an unexpected joy, now that he doesn't have to worry about other friends, Xie Feng actually relaxes.Anyway, there is nowhere to go, one day is a day to escape, and if one day suddenly ushers in the end of life, she is ready.

With such a mood, she went into a restaurant, ordered a hot curry rice, and was sweating profusely.Holding the free hot tea provided by the store after the meal, Xie Feng spent more than an hour - the heavy rain outside the store was endless and continuous, making the world dark as if it was going to be night, and it was hard to imagine that it was afternoon.

The security guards were going to hunt her in the rain, but she was sitting comfortably in the dining room, and she felt a little amused thinking about it.

There were no customers in the store, and the proprietress didn't come to chase her away; Xie Feng sat alone, and he didn't sleep all night, so he fell asleep on the table at some point.When she felt someone gently push her arm, she woke up with a jerk and almost bumped into the man's head.

The proprietress was also taken aback by her, and took half a step back.

"Why, what's the matter," Xie Feng asked while getting up.Is it because she doesn't let herself sleep here?

The proprietress didn't say a word, she first looked at the drowsy rain curtain outside the glass door, and then pointed to the TV hanging on the wall of the dining room.

Xie Feng looked back in doubt.

On the TV screen, which was broadcasting the urgent news, hung a portrait; it was blurry and seemed to be cut out from a zoomed-in photograph.Although the picture quality is not very good, anyone who knows her can recognize Xie Feng's facial features and features.

Xie Feng had seen this photo once before: on the high-speed train, the fat man who grabbed her showed her this photo.

She wanted to smile bitterly: If I had known this, I wouldn't have poured that cup of hot coffee just for pleasure.

The fat man held a grudge against her, and he must have submitted her photo on that day; Qiu Changtian's description of her matched the information that the Ministry of Security already had, that's why the wanted news came out so soon.

Wait, does this mean that the cameras in the parking lot didn't catch her?
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for the security department to use surveillance video screenshots to arrest her; after all, one is what she looked like a year ago, and the other is what she looked like last night.

The proprietress canceled the mute of the TV, and the voice-over was the news anchor's standard Imperial words: "...Among the rioters who participated in this morning's terrorist activity, there is still a woman who is currently on the run...provide effective clues and help arrest Citizens who are arrested can receive bonuses..."

"It's been playing for several minutes, and it's been playing repeatedly." The proprietress whispered behind her in local dialect, "They want every store on our street to install a camera, and I haven't installed it yet. I won't call them It's on the phone, but you'd better not stay with me, you can go."

Xie Feng became nervous a long time ago, grabbed the umbrella and walked towards the door, when he was about to go out, he remembered, turned around and said softly to the proprietress: "Thank you!"

The proprietress nodded silently.

This street can't stay anymore, and other businesses may have surveillance video.Fortunately, there was this continuous torrential rain. In the dim light, it was difficult for others to see what the person under the umbrella looked like; besides, under this kind of rain, almost no one could be seen on the road.

Xie Feng didn't dare to take a taxi anymore, so he could only walk slowly in the pouring rain, and soon he was completely soaked again.She heard a lot of news intermittently from the TVs in several shops: It turned out that two of Ah Cheng's group were still alive, and they were seriously injured and were being rescued in the hospital. They also showed a picture of the hospital under guard.The mayor's daughter-in-law cried and thanked Chief Qiu for not only catching the repeat offender, but also finding her own yacht. The son was embarrassed to show up again.

People from all walks of life accepted interviews and made comments, but Qiu Changtian himself never appeared on TV.

This person usually goes on TV for a long time when he catches a few suspected evolutionaries. How could he not show up for such a major political achievement?He was not injured, and he was full of anger when he scolded his subordinates in the warehouse.

Xie Feng was puzzled, but she couldn't stay in the same place for too long - she could only stand at the door and listen to the TV news in the store, because she didn't dare to close the umbrella.She endured her anxious heart and walked another street. Perhaps it was God's pity for her that she finally saw an electrical appliance store.

On the large-size high-definition display TVs in the window, all of them are broadcasting the same news.

"Officer Qiu not only got rid of the crisis with his resolute and wise methods, but also caught the criminals... He has been checked and is resting. Everyone can rest assured." A male host said sadly, "This It is the mainstay of suppressing the evolutionary and stopping the doomsday! Who is so insane and puts the whole city in disregard!"

If Hongfeng is the real cause of Morningstar's doom, then it is correct to say that Qiu Changtian is the mainstay - a pillar is set up in the river, and the water passes from both sides.

Xie Feng snorted, and stood in the rain to watch the news for a while.The more news she read, the more uneasy that vague feeling in her heart made her feel.This feeling has no solid basis, more like the suspicion of the cup bow snake shadow.

So, why did Qiu Changtian choose this time to rest?

If he didn't show up, wouldn't it fuel speculation and rumors from the outside world?

Is he not going to accept praise, establish an image, kill chickens and monkeys, and create prestige now, is it really just to lie on the bed?
Dong Luorong said that her driver was suspicious of Xie Feng; if the driver told the news to the security department, or rather, told Qiu Changtian himself...

She stood on the street for nearly 10 minutes before waiting for a taxi.When Xie Feng jumped into the car, he didn't even close the umbrella completely, and reported the name of the hotel, and said hurriedly: "Please hurry up!"

　It’s all for the sake of “all the money was spent”, and I watched The Lord of the Rings a little bit. How to put it, I may not be used to the narrative style of this kind of epic works. The description of the world, maps, and races is very detailed. Well written, but a bit of a "why should I care about Frodo" feeling.

The rhythm is not fast; watching, I have a question: "When will Dumbledore appear?"
