reverse rescue

Early the next morning, Gu Zhou was awakened by the urgent sound of the doorbell. He opened his eyes and saw that Bai Yue, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly on the upper bunk, was already fully dressed and standing behind the door. He happened to button the last button. Then he pulled the door open.

Alarm bells rang in Gu Zhou's heart, he jumped out of bed at the moment the door opened, and glanced down at his attire.

Fortunately, it is still neat.

There is no tragedy of unkempt and disheveled exposure to the eyes of unknown visitors outside the door.

"team leader?"

Luo Changhe's doubtful but meaningful voice came from outside the door, the voice stopped at the door, and the visitor had no intention of coming in.

In his heart, Gu Zhou made complaints about the 30-year-old man who stood behind the door and didn't call him until the doorbell, dressed himself neatly and didn't care whether he was alive or dead, and then suddenly thought, last night Xiaoye and Luo Changhe set up marching clothes to watch the night in Lin Hao's room. Now that Luo Changhe appeared here early in the morning, does it mean...

"Is Brother Zhou in there?" Sure enough, Luo Changhe continued to ask.

"He hasn't..." Bai Yue turned around and raised his foot, as if he was going to wake up Gu Zhou.

Then he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, only one step away from him.

"Fuck! When did you get up?" Bai Yue quickly took a step back and pressed against the door panel.

Gu Zhou patted him on the shoulder, pulled the man behind him, occupied the small area at the door, and whispered to Bai Yue: "We will settle this matter later."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo Changhe outside the door again: "Lin Hao is dead?"

Luo Changhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "No."

Gu Zhou showed a puzzled expression.

"He's dead." Luo Changhe silently continued the second half of the sentence.

Gu Zhou: ...

Bai Yue opened the door completely at once, squeezed out half of his body, and said anxiously: "Didn't you say that there was something to notify in time? Why did you die suddenly?"

Gu Zhou:?

Whose junior is it?Why is this person more anxious than himself?

Luo Changhe: "It was expected that the good situation could last for three days, but just now, acute multiple organ failure, from discovery to death, is not enough for me to run here."

Bai Yue secretly glanced at Gu Zhou's expression, seeing that there was not much change, he asked, "Have you notified Major General Chen?"

Luo Changhe: "Someone has already gone."

Bai Yue sighed: "It's a pity."

Just when Gu Zhou thought he was going to say something that human life is so fragile and we have lost another compatriot, I saw this person said quietly again: "I haven't seen this miserable person who has been secretly in love with my senior brother for so many years." Take over the miserable people who have a crush on someone who doesn't even remember who they are."

The corners of Gu Zhou’s mouth twitched, but he couldn’t find anything unrealistic about this long attributive, so he could only ignore Captain Bai who was lamenting to himself, and said, “Let me go and have a look, I don’t know if there is anything I need to help with. of."

In Lin Hao's room, Dr. Xiaoye was sitting in a wheelchair in the corner, looking a little depressed. Two strong young men carried a stretcher bed and stood by the side. Major General Chen Shi stood by the door.

Seeing Gu Zhou, Bai Yue and Luo Changhe approaching, Major General Chen Shi just nodded his head, and then gave up the position of the door, signaling Gu Zhou to go in.

I don't know why, but Gu Zhou is obviously just a half-way junior who doesn't know much about him, but Gu Zhou can't help but feel a sense of parting from relatives and friends who have lost the love of this life. Everyone in the room watched him walk in, and then stood still beside the bed , Bow your head in silence.

Gu Zhou thought to himself: I really don't have any grief to send.

But it can't be completely indifferent.

He suddenly felt that this whole matter revealed a kind of absurdity, it was obviously a major matter of saving mankind, but suddenly it became a private matter of love between children.Before reaching the shelter, he had thought countless times in his heart, we just need to go there, leave the life-saving medicine, take the storage box, and then leave.

In the face of life and death, not everyone is able to be fearless, to dedicate their lives for the fate of mankind, to sacrifice the smallness of individuals for the greatness of society, these things that sound exciting and heart-felt, are not everyone. One person can do it.

Nor can everyone be required to do it.

However, such a person is destined not to be a fellow traveler.

Gu Zhou thought that Lin Hao had such thoughts, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered what Lin Hao said when they first met.

He said: "Brother, give me a shot first, I'm about to die..."

A relaxed expression appeared on the young man's pale and thin face, and then he gradually calmed down.

Gu Zhou looked at the lifeless face on the bed now, and suddenly a completely different thought rose from the bottom of his heart:

Lin Hao, he knew that he was dying, and he wanted to see himself for the last time.

Are you moved?Gu Zhou shook his head lightly, no.

This is actually a sad story.

Love is not standing in the shadows and looking up at a person, not shrinking back, let alone being a person's last regret before dying.Instead, it's just a twisted form of self-preservation in the face of good things.

True love should be two people admiring each other, advancing and retreating together, which is the best memory at the juncture of life and death.As for the beautiful and secret feeling of secret love, one should not just rely on the other party to see oneself for the last time, but should be satisfied with this beautiful person who appeared in one's life.

"Hey, what do you think?"

Bai Yue's big face suddenly approached and appeared in front of Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou quickly pulled himself out of his thoughts, and shook his head lightly, as if he didn't understand how he started thinking about love.

"This is Lin Hao?" Bai Yue stood a little further away, and stretched his neck to see Lin Hao, who was covered by a white cloth, leaving only a face outside, "It really looks like the kind who only knows about secret love and has low mobility. , People who are easy to move themselves, and by the way, cheat a male god."

Gu Zhou looked at Lin Hao's facial features that were still considered Zhou Zheng and his peaceful sleeping face, and really didn't know how this person came to this conclusion.

However, this person was still eloquent: "Unrequited love for this thing, to put it nicely, is to like you silently, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than two situations, one is pure appreciation and does not want to continue to develop anything, one is It’s about wanting to develop something, but it’s really heartless but not courageous…”

"Brother..." Under the pressure, Doctor Xiaoye interrupted Bai Yue, who seemed to be planning to teach the true meaning of love to everyone present, and said with a face full of tears: "You just said that this is not good..."

Bai Yue looked at Gu Zhou's expressionless side face, and closed his mouth reluctantly.

Gu Zhou: I finally know why I had such rich inner activities just now, I must have been infected by this person!

……

Lin Hao's body was finally carried to a hillside not far away by three people from the refuge and buried. They also used local materials to erect a simple tombstone before the zombies were found.

Regardless of what happened during life, it also returns to dust after death.

This is the survivor's last mercy for his fellow man.

……

After lunch, Gu Zhou, Bai Yue, and Feng Biao went to the arsenal to select weapons, while Cheng Zhi, Cheng Yuan, and Ge Tu went outside to overhaul the three military off-road vehicles. Luo Changhe was sent to Doctor Xiaoye to help check the medical supplies. By the way, I looked at Xiaoye who was recovering from a serious illness.

Armory.

Bai Yue looked at the neatly placed boxes of bullets and grenades, his eyes turned green, and Feng Biao on the side said with emotion: "I think back then, when the No. [-] shelter was opened, we were so rich... ..."

Gu Zhou looked at the two special forces soldiers who wanted to stick their hands to them when they saw hot weapons in the warehouse, and silently thought: You won't know what it means to be slickly rich until you get to the research institute.

The three of them began to divide their work and organize their weapons.

There was an uninterrupted sound of soldiers bang pong pong throughout the warehouse, and in this empty shelter, there was a special kind of quietness.

But someone just doesn't want this kind of quiet.

Bai Yue looked at Feng Biao who was honestly loading grenades not far away, then looked at Gu Zhou who was arranging the bullet belt, and said casually: "Chuan'er, did you eat sugar painting when you were young?"

Gu Zhou glanced at him inexplicably, the experience of last night was still vivid in his memory, so he said calmly: "Sugar painting? It seems to be okay, I liked to eat candy when I was young."

Bai Yue couldn't help but frantically probed on the verge of death: "It's the kind of sugar painting that turns into a little white rabbit, right?"

Gu Zhou frowned suspiciously: "Little white rabbit? Shouldn't they all be goldfish, flat peaches or dragons?"

Bai Yue tactfully did not continue this topic, and then asked: "Then did you move when you were young?"

It seemed that the word moving brought back some long-term memories, Gu Zhou suddenly fell into deep thought and did not answer.

Bai Yue looked at him nervously.Now, he can basically confirm that Gu Zhou is the chubby little boy who ate white rabbit candies and looked at magnolias under the tree. Maruko turned into a tall and handsome researcher, and obviously, under his desperate hints and temptations, Maruko didn't know him anymore!

While fearing being retaliated against after being recognized, at the same time vaguely looking forward to a relationship with this person that spans thousands of years. After all, what kind of relationship is this?Bamboo horse bamboo horse? .

Bai Yue said that he was so entangled that he was about to lose his hair.

On the other side, Gu Zhou suddenly thought of those memory fragments that he almost forgot a long time ago.

One winter afternoon, when he hopped back from the outside with a small schoolbag on his back, he saw a black off-road vehicle parked in the yard, the door on the first floor was open, and Aunt Song was sitting on a stool at the dining table , seemed to be wiping away tears, and on the sofa beside him sat two men in white shirts and black suit pants and a woman in white shirts and uniform skirts.

When Aunt Song saw him coming back, she didn't come over to take his schoolbag as usual, stuffed him with a lot of delicious food, and then said softly, "The food will be ready soon, Ah Zhou will eat something to satisfy his hunger first."

Today's Auntie Song just quietly wiped away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, then waved her hand to signal Gu Zhou to come over.

The three people on the sofa looked over neatly, as if they were sizing him up.

Instinctively, Gu Zhou didn't want to go there, he always felt that there was something bad there.

But in the end, he dawdled in and sat next to Aunt Song, carefully lowering his sense of existence, and at the same time, he listened intently to what the adults had to say with his ears up.

"Xiaozhou, do you understand what my uncle and aunt said?" The aunt in a white shirt leaned forward and said softly.

Gu Zhou only felt a buzzing in his head, and everyone in front of him fell into a white vortex, and every face was smashed to pieces in the center of the vortex, leaving only his mouth opening and closing.

Like a drowning fish.

"Well, I understand." Gu Zhou said sullenly.

"Then tell Auntie, what do you understand?" The woman in the white shirt continued, her voice soft.

Gu Zhou raised his face in a daze, and asked in a dazed voice, "Then when will my parents go home?"

A look of disappointment appeared on the face of the woman in the white shirt, which was immediately replaced by pity, and she said softly and irresistibly: "The plane your parents were on crashed, and we are going to send you to your parents now." My friend, go to your Uncle Cui, you saw him last year during Chinese New Year, remember?"

Gu Zhou nodded, but he still had some doubts in his heart: the magnolias outside are blooming, why don't you let me continue waiting here for my parents?What if they can't find me when they come back?

So, he hesitated and asked, "Can I stay at home with Aunt Song instead of going to Uncle Cui's?"

Waiting for my parents at home.

The woman in the white shirt shook her head slightly: "No, you're not safe here." After finishing speaking, the woman seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "Aunt Song was invited by your parents to take care of you, and she also has family members. , can’t be with you forever.”

Gu Zhou subconsciously looked at Aunt Song next to him.

Aunt Song didn't speak, she just lowered her head and wiped her tears silently as before.

The little Gu Zhou suddenly understood at this moment that even if magnolia flowers bloomed all over the small courtyard, and the wind blew the fragrance of flowers all the way to the depths of the distant desert, his parents would never return with the fragrance of flowers.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Gu Zhou lowered his head, tears fell to the ground with a thud, turning into small puddles.
