My boss hung up again

"Chen Guo, what did you mean when you said that you couldn't explain giant ants but could understand them?" Song Ying had a keen sense, "You're so calm, have you encountered similar things before?"

"I've never met a giant red fire ant, but I have encountered something even more incomprehensible in Antai Department Store."

As soon as the words "Antai Department Store" came out, Song Ying remembered everything she had witnessed that day.The department store was destroyed in an instant without warning, and she didn't know what happened inside, but it was because of that incident that she made up her mind to leave the city.

Wait a minute, so I always thought the two women at the gas station looked familiar, but she actually met her before, right in front of Antai Department Store.

It turned out to be them.

And who was it that sent the wrong email?

Song Ying seemed to feel some vague shadows.

"Were you in the department store at that time?" Song Ying asked Chen Guo.

"Yes."

"What happened to Antai Department Store? What happened inside? It is said that hundreds of people died."

"Including my sister."

Song Ying paused, and saw from the rearview mirror that Chen Guo was stroking the teddy bear in his arms.The little bear was dirty, with a cut on his shoulder, Chen Guo stroked it carefully, as if stroking a wound that would hurt.

"There are three people. They are not normal people. They destroyed Antai Department Store without any weapons."

Chen Guo's words didn't sound weird, probably because her tone was too calm, but after thinking about it, she was horrified.

"You mean... three people demolished the department store with their bare hands?"

"Yes." Chen Guo said with certainty, "A man with a flat head can grasp objects in the air, a man wearing a hat has arms like blades that can cut through reinforced concrete, and there is... that silver-haired man." Speaking of this man , Chen Guo clenched her fists tightly, "That person's finger is like firing a bullet. He is the leader of the three."

"Are you talking about the plot in a sci-fi movie? Are we talking about business or the new Marvel movie?" Song Ying joked, but her mind was in a daze. How did this road pass? She lost all memory.

"It's true." Chen Guo's tone was calm, but there was sharp hatred in her eyes, "My only sister died at the hands of that silver-haired man, I can't make a mistake."

Song Ying didn't say anything more, she was good at swearing and kicking people, and she was born with little nerves to comfort and forgive people.

No wonder you didn't run away even when the billboard was down. Did you think about going with your sister at that time?The little bear in his arms looks like a toy for children.My sister was killed right in front of my eyes, no one would be able to stand it.

"Where are your parents?" Song Ying asked, "Why don't I send you to your parents, children are still safe with their parents, it's so chaotic outside now."

Chen Guo said: "My parents are not here...we don't have parents."

Chen Guo's words were contradictory, and Song Ying didn't expose them. Everyone was a little bit embarrassed: "Okay, then you will follow us. The three of us will take care of us when we go together, and God knows what will happen to us. Bodhidharma, are you still waiting for me?" All right?"

Bodhidharma snorted lazily, indicating that she was still alive.

Chen Guo: "Where are you planning to go?"

"First go to the hospital to have a good look at Bodhidharma's injuries, and then find out if there is a way out of the city. The Sunset Bridge is broken and there are other ways to go, but I don't know if it will work. Just try your luck."

The city is not safe, they must leave here, this is Song Ying's intuition.

If Bian Yuan hadn't downloaded the offline map in advance, it would be difficult to identify the direction at night in the suburbs without electricity, street signs or even roads.

Fortunately, Bian Yuan has an idea.

Bian Yuan broke through three groves, flew four ditches, and crushed five guardrails, and finally avoided the military's interception. The map showed that they returned to the urban area.

At 3:15 midnight, the map showed that they had returned to the city center.But this is not the familiar city they have lived in for decades. High-rise buildings collapsed, the viaduct was broken and smashed like biscuits, the light boxes at the bus station fell to pieces, the streets were flooded with ruins, and a forklift could be seen in the distance. , The direction of the crane behind the forklift is brightly lit, surrounded by armed police and firefighters.

Bian Yuan turned off the car lights, quietly parked the car under the uncollapsed bridge pier, took out the binoculars and looked ahead.

"There are a lot of corpses." Bian Yuan said while watching, "They loaded the trucks with corpses, and they have already loaded three trucks."

"Truck? Where are they going to transport the corpse?" Xin Yitong asked.

"You don't want to know." Bian Yuan put the telescope away, took out a black cardboard box from the back seat of the car, opened the box, and found an aerial camera inside.She put the aircraft out of the car window and slowly rose.The aircraft is only about the size of a palm, and its entire body is pitch black. The sound it makes during operation is so small that it is almost inaudible. It is like a silent ghost in the dark night, and it is difficult to feel its existence.It is equipped with infrared camera equipment, which can clearly capture night scenes and transmit them to the 7-inch screen in Bian Yuan's hands.

The ruins looked even more gloomy under the reflection of the huge lights, filled with the boundless atmosphere of death.

Bian Yuan and Xin Yitong stared at the screen with their heads together. The road that was shoveled out was full of large trucks parked in an orderly manner, and they were not ordinary trucks, they were all snow-white refrigerated trucks.There is no license plate on the body of the refrigerated truck, just like regenerated organisms assembled from waste recycling.Armed police and firefighters threw the excavated corpses into the refrigerated truck without any protection. The corpses were pressed one by one, like sick and dead meat to be transported to poor countries.Even the process of exhuming the corpses was very rough. Without detecting signs of life in advance, excavators were used to dig directly into the ruins. Every time they dug out, there were stumps and broken arms.

Bian Yuan and Xin Yitong frowned at the same time and looked at each other.It seems that what Bian Yuan said is right, the military doesn't care how many people die, they just want to clean up the scene quickly to wipe out the virus and build a brand new city.

"Don't they need a live broadcast of the rescue?" Xin Yitong said, "It seems that when this kind of thing happened before, the rescue scene will be broadcast on TV."

"The military has spread the news that because of the extremely hot weather, the earthquake caused too many deaths and injuries, and it is likely to cause a plague, so a complete blockade has been implemented. People in the city cannot go out, people outside the city cannot enter, and even the sky cannot escape. However, the city is now being blocked and monitored in all directions. Remember the helicopters that have been circling over the Sunset Bridge? Not only the Sunset Bridge, but now it is impossible to enter from all directions in the city. The plague is a good reason, and it is daunting. No one The fool is risking his life, rushing to the death zone to report the disaster. Therefore, there will be no other version of the report except for the official content given by the military.”

There is no flaw in Bian Yuan's words, and Xin Yitong feels more and more dangerous now.Not only are there a bunch of mutants who injected themselves with genetic fluid, even the military cannot be trusted.

"Then what else do we have to do?"

Xin Yitong leaned on the car seat in frustration, the air conditioner had completely lost its effect after the window was smashed, so she simply turned off the air conditioner to save gasoline, the current situation is obviously hot, tired and hopeless.

Xin Yitong asked: "During your more than 300 cycles, how did you get rid of the current crisis?"

Bian Yuan stared at the screen while manipulating the aircraft, and answered her with a parting mouth: "It was really not easy at first, but after a few experiments and lessons learned, the road will be easy after accumulating experience. Do you know what it means to catch a mantis?" Are the cicadas and orioles behind?"

Xin Yitong looked at her, Bian Yuan smiled at her:

"Let's just be the oriole."

Bian Yuan is mysterious, and Xin Yitong couldn't help but want her to spoil it.

Bian Yuan shook her head and said, "I can't tell you. I told you that you are too psychologically burdened. I will tell you in advance when there is real danger. No one wants to know when they will die."

"die?"

"Yes, we can die at every link. I have died so many times that I am almost numb. But you are different. You never retain the memory of the last cycle. If you tell you what happened next , your psychological burden will be too heavy."

What Bian Yuan said made sense.If you knew when you were going to die, there was no point in living now.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

"Check out the military's deployment first, and find a safe place to stay. This is a long-term battle, and we need a stronghold. I'll go and see if the building we stayed in in the last cycle is still there this time."

The aircraft quietly flew to a farther place, and a building appeared in the dark. This is one of the few remaining buildings in the city. It is a residential building built in the 90s. When it was built, it was very strong because there were city leaders living there. The strong earthquake collapsed.Unless there is another strong earthquake of the same magnitude, it will always stand proudly in the center of the city.

"It's here." Bian Yuan said.

"We're going to settle in this building? Will it be so conspicuous that the military won't find out?"

"We need to stand higher to monitor the situation in the city. This building has [-] floors and is located at the intersection of three roads, which is very convenient for us to observe the situation. Aftershocks continue after the earthquake, and high places are the most dangerous places , No one would have thought that someone would choose a high-rise building to hide their whereabouts at this time. As long as the building does not collapse, the military will regard it as the last target for cleaning. Moreover, there will definitely be food and daily facilities left in the residential building. Don't worry about it."

It seems that experience is wealth, which is not true at all.

The aircraft scoured along the road, and saw no one except for a few crushed corpses.

Retracting the aircraft, Bian Yuan drove carefully and slowly towards the building.

There were armed police patrolling on the way there, and Bian Yuan drove very cautiously to avoid them.

Arrived at the destination safely, there were several stones blocking the entrance of the community, and there was a car that overturned.Bian Yuan circled around, knocked over the bicycle shed at the back of the community, drove the car in and got off, called Xin Yitong to help, pushed back the iron door of the shed, and pulled out a small car from the trunk. Push carts and iron bars, use iron bars to pry the gravel and bicycles that can be seen everywhere onto the carts, transport them to the door and block the door.There is only one residential building and two gates in this community. The wall is very high and there is a power grid. The power grid should be cut off, but the height of the fence can still effectively block the outside world.

In order to prevent the military from finding their car from the sky, Bian Yuan parked the car in the bicycle shed that had just been cleared out, and when she was about to remove all the things in the car, a light suddenly swept down from the sky.The two of them hurriedly hid behind the car, the roar of the helicopter was overhead, and the searchlight swept by the side of the car, just blocked by the poncho of the carport.

As the helicopter drifted away, they found that they were in perfect agreement with each other, covering each other's mouths.

After looking at each other, holding back a smile, Bian Yuan stood up and looked up at the sky. The helicopter was far away, and she started to get things out of the car.

Bian Yuan didn't seem to take what happened before, maybe she took it to heart, but she didn't show it.

There is expectation in Bian Yuan's eyes, what is she looking forward to?Expect her girlfriend in memory to recall the sweet past?Expect them to talk sweetly and interact intimately at any time?

Xin Yitong looked at Bian Yuan's busy back, feeling a little sad.

She wasn't ready yet, but she didn't want to hurt Bian Yuan either.

Bian Yuan's car is comparable to Doraemon's pocket, food, drink, treatment, tools and guns...almost everything.Moving them into the corridor is already tiring to death.

When Xin Yitong realized that there was a power outage in the whole city, the elevator would definitely not work, but when Bian Yuan said that she wanted to build the stronghold on a high place, she suddenly understood that when it came to "harm", she and Bian Yuan were clearly hurting each other .

"Are we really going to carry everything upstairs?" Xin Yitong looked at the food boxes and pieces of water at his feet, in disbelief and lovelessness.

"Put the weapon up first. I'll take the bullets and you take the gun. There are only two guns. Be careful not to accidentally fire." Bian Yuan said very easily, "I will organize the other things on the cart, and you don't have to worry about it. Ten There is a room on the fifth floor that is definitely empty, the door is still open, the decoration is good and the food is plentiful, I have stayed there more than ten times. 1501, just look at the house number and push the door in, and I will come later.”

Xin Yitong went upstairs quickly. Although this day had exhausted her guts and physical strength for two lifetimes, she still persisted and came to 1501 quickly. She opened the door and entered, and there was no one there. She fired the gun and went downstairs without looking carefully. On the third floor, I met Bian Yuan who was pulling a cart.Bian Yuan put all the bullets into cardboard boxes, and fixed the cardboard boxes on the cart with ropes. The bottom of the cart can be turned down to two boards. The length of the boards together is just wider than the upper and lower steps. The body is erected on the stairs, and half of the wheels are exposed, which is very convenient for pulling.

Although it was convenient, Bian Yuan was exhausted after dragging three floors. Xin Yitong asked her to rest aside: "I'll drag a few floors, let's switch."

"Farewell, don't jump around with such a serious injury to your leg, why are you still running down when you're already up? Leave it to me, it's just a trivial matter."

"I can't rely on you for everything." Xin Yitong didn't let go of the cart.

Bian Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "Am I not trustworthy?"

"No." Xin Yitong said firmly, "You have been taking care of me all this way, and I know you are very tired too. Don't talk about it, let's divide the work and cooperate. You also said that this is a long-term battle. I want to be your ally, not a burden to take care of everywhere. You are trustworthy, but I also want you to trust me occasionally."
