Doomsday Raiders

On the way back, Zhong Han kept thinking about Xia Mu's last look, he always felt that that look seemed to see through everything.

"Hey, Zhong Han, what are you thinking?" Zuo Jiang squatted in front of Zhong Han and looked up at him and said.

Zhong Han touched Zuo Jiang's hair with a smile and said, "It's nothing, are you hungry, shall I take you to eat?"

"I thought you were thinking about what happened just now. My mother is very decisive in doing things. She thinks about things quickly and won't make us wait too long. Let's go, let's go to eat quickly! Oh, no, Zhong Han, what are you doing again?" How many times have I told you to touch my head, you can't touch my hair!"

The time changes day by day, the paper on the calendar turns page after page, Zuo Jiang mutters in a low voice, "There are still 29 days to the end of the world, 28 days to the end of the world, and still..."

"Zuo Jiang, what are you muttering all by yourself again?" Zhong Han put the meal in front of Zuo Jiang, helped him set up the tableware and sat down and said.

Zuo Jiang's entire face was almost tangled together: "How can this day go by so fast? You said that I always felt that the days were like years when I was in class, but now I feel that the days are like days. I don't even know about this day." How should it go?"

"It's how you live it. One day is happy, one day is sad. Anyway, when the time comes, there will always be a result. Don't think about it no matter whether it is good or bad."

"Are you talking about philosophy with me?" He said, standing up from the chair and approaching Zhong Han, gesturing with his two fingers to create an almost invisible gap in front of Zhong Han: "The relationship between the great philosopher and I The depth of thinking is only a little short."

"Okay, my great philosopher, can you have some food now, it will be cold in a while." Zhong Han said while pushing Zuo Jiang's hand away while untying the takeaway bag.

Zuo Jiang saw that it was time to eat, so he stopped making trouble. He moved the small chair and sat directly opposite Zhong Han and said, "My mother seems to have prepared the supplies, and she called me just now!"

"Then shall we pack up and go to Auntie's tomorrow?"

"No, no, my mother said that she will drive to pick us up tomorrow, just wait."

Lying on the bed at night, Zhong Han looked up at the snow-white top of the wall. Even though it blocked the starlight in the sky, Zhong Han still watched intently. These days of rebirth, he has always felt that it is not real, and he does not know if it is in reality. It was still in a dream, even if it seemed like he would wake up from the dream at any time, only when he was playing around with Zuo Jiang would he feel that his nervous and fearful heart was relieved for a moment.

He rested his head on his side again and looked at Zuo Jiang on the opposite bed. Zuo Jiang had already fallen asleep, his long eyelashes were flat on his eyelids, and his arms were still exposed outside the quilt, which was his sleeping habit In winter, he often woke up from the cold, and later he became familiar with Zhong Han, so he asked Zhong Han to help him cover the quilt all night long. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Han's mouth, so what if it was a dream, he thought Everything he had was with him, everything he wanted to protect was now within his reach, and he felt like he had nothing left to desire.

Early the next morning, Xia's mother drove to pick them up to load supplies. Zuo Jiang took the lead in getting into the back compartment. Mom can't see from the back, so sit in the front!"

It was probably the first time he heard Mother Xia being so tender, Zuo Jiang was just a little surprised and ran to the co-pilot happily, with a very bright smile on his face, and the infected Zhong Han also felt that he should be happy.

The car was running on the road. They had already been to three cold stores, a garment factory, and even the underground warehouse of a supermarket. They loaded all kinds of meat, vegetables, snacks, clothes, shoes and socks over and over again. It was even piled up in a corner of the space alone, especially the cotton-padded clothes and socks in winter, which piled up into a hill. In the end, Zhong Han became a little numb to these materials, and could only hear Xia Mu and Zuo Jiang

"Is it full?"

"No"

"Then go to the next one!

"Such a conversation.

Now they are going to an orchard again. The fresh and delicious fruits are fresh. According to Mother Xia, she bought two or three fruits from the orchard...

When approaching the orchard, Zhong Han couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked, "Auntie must spend a lot of money to buy so many things!"

Xia's mother said while driving the steering wheel, "It's okay, I bought more than [-] million things, and I'm still buying."

On the one hand, Zuo Jiang asked blankly, "Mom, is our family so rich? Why didn't I know before, and is my pocket money a little short! It's only a month..."

"Our family doesn't have that much money." Xia's mother glanced at Zuo Jiang and said, "I just moved a part of the company's budget for the next quarter. Anyway, there are still [-] days before the end of the world. This can be regarded as waste utilization!"

Zhong Han was dumbfounded when he heard it from behind. Mama Xia's company executives for so many years are really not for nothing.

When Zhong Han looked at Xia's mother, Xia's mother was also looking at him through the rearview mirror.

After finishing the storage of the last item, it was already dark, and Xia's mother drove directly to Zuo's house without asking Zhong Han Zuojiang's opinion, and did not return to the dormitory.

In the guest room where Zhong Han sleeps at night, "Du Da Da, Da Da Da" Zhong Han heard regular voices coming from the door, "Come in", Zhong Han put on his clothes and tidied up and said.

The door was gently opened, and to Zhong Han's surprise, it was not Zuo Jiang but Xia's mother who came in. At this time, Xia's mother no longer wore a professional attire with a strong and cold temperament, but a goose yellow shirt , with a white coat on the outside, and her hair neatly combed behind her head, she lost a bit of aloofness and added a bit of warmth and softness.

"Auntie, what do you want to do tonight?" Zhong Han asked.

Mother Xia smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, I just want to have a normal talk with you, as a mother."

Zhong Han pressed his fingertips against his palm and said, "What does Auntie want to talk about? Zuo Jiang?"

"Yeah." Mother Xia nodded lightly.The second hand kept ticking and ticking on the wall above their heads.

"I have nothing to do with Zuo Jiang. We are just very good friends now." Zhong Han looked at his shoes, and then at his legs, waiting for Mother Xia to speak to him.

"Well, I can see it." Mother Xia replied neither soft nor hard.

"Then, what does Auntie think or think?" Zhong Han cautiously probed.

Mother Xia stood up, turned around in front of Zhong Han, and asked, "What do you think is different from me now that I still have a job?"

Before Zhong Han could reply, Xia's mother went on to say, "I've been thinking for the past few days, is there a part of me that Zuo Jiang became like this? If I can be more gentle to him, I can show more concern for him. Come out, will he not be like this?"

"Auntie, this has nothing to do with you. Maybe it's because I got too close to him? Maybe I've been wandering around in front of him, but these are not your responsibility!" Zhong Han didn't know how to explain, so he could only go as far as possible. Find a balance between both.

Mother Xia smiled and said, "In normal times, I might test you again before agreeing, but now that you have passed the test, treat Xiao Jiang well..."

"Auntie" Zhong Han looked at Mother Xia in shock.

"Take him away the day after tomorrow! Since you can awaken his abilities, there must be some strange places in the last days. Xiao Jiang will be safer with you. Let Xiao Jiang accompany me for a day tomorrow, and you can leave the day after tomorrow, over there at the school. I've already said hello." Mother Xia frowned: "But it's probably not necessary."

"Auntie..." Zhong Han looked helplessly at Mother Xia who turned and left, feeling his mind was in a mess. He couldn't help but think of Mother Xia from the previous life. Following her husband Zuo Jianguo to make suggestions, her decision-making is known for being decisive, adventurous, but careful, and many men are amazed and amazed.

Zhong Han tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Zuo Jiang's naughty smile appeared in his mind for a while, and his angry impatience for a while. All kinds of Zuo Jiang went through his mind, which he never dared to try. The place slowly cracked a crack like an ice cube sucked by a boulder.

The next morning, before the sun came out to work, Zhong Han left silently. He didn't ask why Xia's mother asked him to take him away, nor why Xia's mother didn't want to leave with him. Everyone has a different situation. In the end, he chose to leave silently, not wanting to disturb the final relationship between the mother and son.

Zhong Han was in a daze all day and didn't know what he was thinking. After dusk, he was walking slowly on the street alone, when suddenly a shadow appeared under his feet, and when he looked up, he saw Zuo Jiang standing with red eyes. Under the setting sun, his hair seemed to have a layer of golden edges, shining brightly in Zhong Han's eyes.

They looked at each other and came together, hugging in the endless crowd, not caring what others saw or what others said, Zhong Han hugged Zuo Jiang quietly, feeling his tears gathered on his neck, Zhong Han Han didn't dare to ask Zuo Jiang what he talked about with his mother, Zhong Han could only give him more warmth with his embrace.
