Ango

"Boom" sound.

When their car fell to the ground again, the two found their heartbeat again.

"coming!"

Song Lin leaned on the driver's seat and let out a long sigh of relief.The heart that just fell was beating fast.

The wind and rain outside suddenly came down at this time.

"Maybe we should drink to our luck!"

Song Lin smiled and said,

"Have you ever drunk?"

Zheng Xuan shook his head.

"I don't have either." Song Lin pulled out the car keys and leaned forward on the steering wheel. There might not be such things as alcohol in new provinces, let alone in these old urban areas.

The bean-sized raindrops slapped the glass window in front of me, crackling, blurring the world.

"Here... a lot of people died."

After stopping for about ten minutes, Song Lin drove the car forward again. Even through the rain curtain, they could still see the dead on the ground. This side was much more serious than the other side. They were stacked one on top of the other, which was shocking.

It seemed to be escaping from something, but in the end it still couldn't fly over the last bridge.

"Do you want to enter the city?"

Song Lin suggested, Zheng Xuan and him looked at each other, both of them had some guesses in their hearts.

"it is good."

The rain was still falling, and the two windows in the back seat of their car were broken. The raindrops drifted in and wet their shoulders.

This is a city of the dead, with corpses everywhere.Song Lin drove the car slowly into the main road of the city, and there were bones along the road, which was as tragic as hell.The atmosphere in the car is particularly heavy.

"People from both cities died here," Zheng Xuan looked out the window, clenched his hands into fists, "They made people from both cities die here!"

Song Lin glanced at him, feeling a little surprised. Zheng Xuan had always been a taciturn person in his impression, so it was rare for him to repeat a sentence twice.

"It's the X-Virus again."

Unlike the previous city, there are only dead people here, and the buildings rarely show signs of destruction.

It is also ironic to think about it, two adjacent cities, one is the tomb of buildings; the other is the tomb of people.

Someone once told Song Lin that only people with antibodies in their bodies can survive in the old city.

"They're experiments."

Experiment?

It was the first time Song Lin heard this statement, and his eyes widened slightly.Zheng Xuan didn't say much.

Heavy rain washed the street, Song Lin drove the car into the underground parking lot of a community.

"Up here is the residential area." Song Lin took out their bags from the back seat and handed Zheng Xuan's to him. "We can rent a room for one night."

Although both of them are used to eating and sleeping in the open, it is still exciting to have a place that can provide temporary shelter.

Song Lin took the card and wire, and broke open the doors one by one.

"I don't know if there is still water here."

He opened the door of the fifth house, and finally there was no dead person in the house.

This is a very ordinary two-bedroom apartment with a simple and warm decoration, because no one has lived in it for a long time, and all the places are covered with a layer of dust.Song Lin went to the kitchen and wiped his hands on the sink habitually, but his hands were covered with ashes, and he turned on the faucet.

"There's still water!"

The black sewage flowed for about 1 minute and gradually became clear.

Zheng Xuan couldn't help but ran to him, put his hands under the water and washed for a while.The water is ice cold.

"You can take a shower."

Seeing him withdraw his hand, Song Lin turned off the faucet.

The family may have planned to leave for a long time, and only the mattress was left on the bed. The two were pleasantly surprised to find sheets, bedding, and even a few sets of clothes from the closet.Due to being placed in the cabinet for a long time, these fabrics have faded their original color.

"Tomorrow we can go out and see if there is anything in the supermarket outside."

Song Lin's eyes were very bright, looking at Zheng Xuan, this man's face rarely showed a relaxed expression.

The autumn rain fell until midnight, and the two of them took a shower in the bathroom one by one. The water was so cold that it made people shiver all over. When they got out of the shower, Song Lin sneezed several times.

"You are in good health."

Song Lin was wrapped in a padded jacket, and his mouth was pale. Seeing that Zheng Xuan looked like a normal person, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.The cold water in late autumn penetrated into his bones, and Zheng Xuan was the only guy who could take a cold shower without changing his face.

"I'm not too afraid of the cold."

"I see."

Song Lin rubbed his hands together, he didn't have a good breath, he was really cold, his wet hair was drooping on his forehead, his whole head seemed to be frozen.

"It's cold too."

Zheng Xuan suddenly reached out his hand, pressed it against his face, and touched his hand again, it was cold, and he frowned.

"I remember there is a hair dryer in the bathroom, why don't you use it? There should be electricity in the car, right?"

Song Lin didn't reply for a long time, just stood there stiffly, he seldom had physical contact with others, Zheng Xuan's hands were warm, and the place he touched also became hot, Song Lin's heart beat fast.

The sound of rain outside the window disappeared at some point, and the world returned to silence.

After a while, he spoke,

"There is electricity in the car, you can come along, your hair is also wet."

When the hot wind hit his head, Song Lin sighed contentedly.

He quickly dried his hair until it was half dry, handed the hair dryer to Zheng Xuan, turned on the heater in the car, and locked the chill out of the window.

In the dark underground parking lot, there was only a faint warm light in the car. Song Lin stared blankly at Zheng Xuan's profile, unable to take his eyes off for a while.

Two people, living here, also seem to be fine.For some reason, he actually came up with this idea.

"Today is really like a dream."

Song Lin lay on his back on the paved bed, and he still didn't feel the reality until now.

There is only one bed here, and Zheng Xuan lay beside him without speaking.

They were all tired, but they couldn't sleep.

"How soon can we reach the new city?"

Zheng Xuan asked suddenly.

No one answered for a long time, Zheng Xuan turned his head to glance at Song Lin, the moonlight was weak, and he vaguely saw his downcast eyes, eyelashes trembling slightly, Zheng Xuan's heartbeat missed a beat.

"Why are you going to the new town?"

Song Lin turned his head suddenly and met his eyes.

Why go to Xincheng.

Zheng Xuan looked away and didn't speak for a while.

"Heh," a chuckle suddenly came from next to my ear, and Song Lin's voice seemed to come from a distance, "But I have to go to the new city..."

"Good night."

Gradually, the moon is completely covered, and there are no stars.The next day was rainy again.

Song Lin felt his throat throbbing early in the morning. He tried to hum a few times, but he didn't pay much attention, and went out with Zheng Xuan to find supplies.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the thick clouds are pressing on the top of the head, making people feel breathless at a glance.The two walked among the many dead, stepping on the stagnant water all over the ground, unable to speak.

They die as if they had never been born, sad and even comical.Only they were left lying here, meaningless and extraordinarily innocent.

However, it seemed useless to be alive, and Song Lin began to think wildly again. What can they do if they are alive?

Song Lin quickened his pace.

In the passing supermarket, the food area was basically evacuated as they thought, but a part of the living area remained, with all kinds of clothes, trousers and shoes.

Zheng Xuan walked around the corner of the food area and found a few bottles, he took a closer look.

"Here are five bottles of water."

"Oh,"

Song Lin looked at the extra bottles of water in the shopping cart and smiled happily.

"We're really lucky."

Although nutrients can replace food, water still has to be found by yourself.

Two big men, pushing a shopping cart, browsed all the supermarkets they could find in this deserted city. Although they didn't find too many practical things, they all had a tacit understanding satisfy.

When I went back, it started to rain again. There were umbrellas in the supermarket. Song Lin picked the biggest one. One person held the umbrella while the other pushed the shopping cart. Walking in this hell on earth, a little bit of birth can be called "warmth". atmosphere.

"Let's wait for the weather to clear before we leave." After returning, Song Lin took out all the things in the shopping cart one by one, arranged them on the square table in the living room, and then sat on the dusty sofa, looking at the things in front of him. The five bottles of water in the house did not move.

Zheng Xuan looked at him.

He kept looking at him, giving people the illusion of being old forever, and there was a voice in Song Lin's heart that kept clamoring - what's wrong with staying?Why take the huge risk and run all the way to the new province?

He felt that Zheng Xuan had seen through his thoughts.

"I have to go to Nova Scotia,"

Just when Song Lin could hardly sit still, Zheng Xuan finally spoke.

"My sister and mother were taken there."

He sat down next to Song Lin and talked about his own story for the first time.

"About 14 years ago, my parents and I were sealed off together with many other people in a southern experimental area, just like this city." Zheng Xuan paused for a few seconds, seeming to be trying hard. Organization language, "At that time, my mother was eight months pregnant, and we stayed in it for three years. Most of them died of festering because they could not produce antibodies."

"My father died too."

Song Lin unconsciously gathered the corners of his clothes tightly, and suddenly felt that the sound of the rain outside was too loud.

"But fortunately, both my mother and my brother and sister survived... Later they wanted to capture the surviving people and take them to New Province. On the way, my mother tried to let me escape alone..."

Probably because he hasn't said so many words for a long time, Zheng Xuan speaks very slowly, every sentence seems to be pieced together after a long time of thinking.

Song Lin's hand holding the hem of his clothes tightened and loosened, and the silence spread throughout the house. Song Lin could feel the determination of the person beside him.

"I'm going to Nova Scotia,"

Song Lin spoke with some difficulty,

"I have the idea of ​​staying, but I also have reasons to go to New Province."

He shivered and put his hands in his pockets. After Zheng Xuan said so much, even if it was out of politeness, Song Lin should reveal a little bit of his "reason", but he kept it secret.

But Zheng Xuan didn't force him, he wasn't very interested in these things, in his opinion, these were all irrelevant to his own affairs.

"I will go to New Province with you."

Song Lin finally said.

But they stayed here for another night, because the rain was too heavy that day.

"We're heading south. If we drive, it shouldn't be too far from New Province." Before going to bed at night, Song Lin analyzed the road conditions for him, feeling a little confused in his head. A small settlement of some of them knew the way to Nova Province."

"Settlements?"

"Well, I went to that eastern settlement once with my parents when I was a child."

Song Lin didn't explain too much.

"Including this time, I think we will spend at least another month."

In terms of time, it is not too long.

"But we may also encounter accidents, natural disasters and man-made disasters, no one can say for sure."

In the darkness, Song Lin's eyes were very bright, looking at Zheng Xuan seriously.

"Well," he nodded in response, and he understood all of this. After a while, Zheng Xuan tilted his head and said softly,

"Good night."
