Lucas put his hips on his hips, and said in a triumphant tone: "Captain, you will never guess what I found - a huge pile of supplies! Ammunition, food, holy sword of physics ① you want... everything you want , I even found an aluminum pot! These predecessors who sacrificed their lives have left us a lot, and they are truly respectable transport captains."

You leaned on the stairs and wiped the gun in your hand one after another, then raised your eyelids to look at him, "It's good, where's the car?"

"I've already done it. I'm very smart and installed a small air conditioner. The days of steamed buns in the steamer are gone forever." Lucas threw the key chain in his hand and caught it again: "We When are you going to leave, I'm going to be moldy if I stay here."

"I'll do it right away. Go and call Uncle Dai and Calvino over. I'm going to draw the route for you."

"Okay! I can move my hands and feet at last." Lucas cheered, and jumped up the wooden stairs with his feet. You unfold a few maps in this gap and press the gun on them.

"We have to go along the national highway, because it is more convenient to have gas stations. You see, first take the national highway G213 to enter Gansu, and then pass the G312 to Xinjiang. At this time, we are not far from the border. We can take the G216 to reach China. The border with Russia, and then straight into Russia, we can also take a road in Russia to reach Kyzyl in the Republic of Tuva, and then we need to cross the Western Sayan Mountains to Abakan, and finally Go straight all the way to Bratsk (Irkutsk Oblast) - go straight because there are no large roads here, don't worry about the rivers, they will not have a drop of water in the next burning season. Our The destination is at the border of the Evenki Autonomous Region, conservatively estimated that it will take us at least four months to arrive."

Lucas tried his best to stare at the lines and circles on the map, puffed his cheeks, and then thumped his fists into his palms: "Ah, I found out! Captain, are we going to pass there? It's that..."

You folded the map, ruthlessly interrupting Lucas's flash of inspiration, "Okay, pack up and get ready to go, you—Lucas is you, go and turn off the generator for me."

"Wait, captain! You know what I mean, that...that tourist attraction!" Lucas tugged on your sleeve pitifully, but didn't touch your cold heart, "I won't allow it. You go, Lucas."

Lucas took out the map in your hand and shook it away vigorously, almost smearing the paper on your face, "Captain, how convenient it is to make a detour, a small, a small detour..."

You tore away the map in displeasure, "We are still wanted criminals."

"Wanted criminals also have human rights, Captain, you Hitler! Go there and you won't die!"

You can only change your tone: "Lucas, this kind of pointless activity is just a waste of time..."

"Ahhhhhhh I won't listen! Captain, you are ruthless and unjust, you are making trouble for no reason!"

Seeing that this guy has a tendency to roll around on the spot, you have no choice but to back off: "...Okay, Lucas, listen to me, if you remember that name, I will agree to your request."

This appeasement strategy finally brought Lucas peace, a precious peace.

To be honest, you really don’t know why Lucas is obsessed with traveling. For you, the journey is simply boring. Without the support of modern transportation, you are forced to waste more precious time on the road ——Those supernatural beings who can fly and teleport cannot make even a single second of contribution to the transportation network of the end of the world. Nothing pleases you more than a box of ammo.

Zombies - the characteristic elements of this doomsday are endless, but the battle will consume ammunition and physical strength, you would rather lose the pride brought by fighting with them, knock down a large area with the front bumper of the car without strategy, and bump the car to run over Walking past these dry bones—Lucas can fix it anyway (even though Lucas yells: "Don't use the car like a lawnmower! It's hard to fix, big man!").

The road is almost abandoned after losing maintenance, and the roadbed has been cracked under the repeated damage of extreme weather, so what you call "taking the national road" can actually only follow the direction of the original road, and the road is just a faint line in your car window gray lines.

You have been away for a week, and you have entered Gansu and near Xinjiang, but in your eyes there is still only a lot of sand, oh, how can you forget those loyal dogs and zombies who opened their mouths to welcome you warmly all the way?

You turned the steering wheel a little irritably: "These views are like the paintings on the car windows—no matter where you drive, they never change, maybe even if I travel all over the world, they will still be exactly the same."

"I can't tell the sky from the ground, it seems to be sand." Calvino said rarely, and you can see him looking out the window from the rearview mirror, tapping the glass one after another.

Dai Kun replied with a smile: "It's still a little different, at least there are no zombies in the sky."

The past few days have drained the vitality of the few of you, from a cart of fresh fish to a cart of salted fish.

You only focus on driving with the steering wheel, Dekun only cares about the smoke, Calvino just stares at the window in a daze, Lucas just thinks about his important name, the task of remembering his goldfish is really difficult, but This has got you a wonderful by-product - your little sparrow has been quiet for almost a week, and everyone has been very tacit and hasn't given him any reminders.

Just when you thought you could enjoy this atmosphere forever, Lucas yelled amidst the rock singer's hoarse trill, and his head almost hit the roof of the car with excitement: "I remembered, it's the ruins of the Longqing Base! It's the Longqing base! Captain, I'm going to go there for sightseeing, I'm going to go sightseeing."

"No."

"You promised me!"

"Look, we're running low on fuel, and I only granted your request for sightseeing last time, so forget it this time."

"What kind of sightseeing is it to take a look at 300 meters away! I want to appreciate it up close, and I want to pick a souvenir from it!"

"...Oh, shut up." You begged.

You are a man of principle, you always do what you say - but you broke your promise this time, if it wasn't for Lucas throwing half of his body out of the window and threatening you loudly: "If you don't agree, I will jump off the car and commit suicide. Ahhhhh!" words.

How stupid.

You sigh and turn around.

It wasn't until the small gray shadow of the building emerged in the yellow sand that Lucas cheered and closed the window, completely giving up the idea of ​​committing suicide, "Great! Calvino, you have never seen such a shocking scene. When the time comes I'll be your tour guide—Captain, don't turn your back on me again."

You rolled your eyes, pulled down the handbrake and said, "No matter how excited you are, you can only go tomorrow. Okay, everyone is going to camp."

Lucas took out the supplies bouncing all the way—Although Lucas is an elite fighter, he can fight bravely without fear, but his nature is lively and cheerful, and even this kind of hopeless disaster cannot hit him. After seeing Lucas' optimism, you looked at the enthusiastic Lucas, and then at the Longqing base covered in twilight, and you couldn't think of the charm of this ruin.

"Captain, a boring person like you doesn't understand my romantic soul." Lucas sighed, pressing his chest, "The broken beauty of ruins is a high-level beauty that humans can appreciate. Look! It's really the kind of waste that only appears in science fiction pictorials." Ruins of earth, machinery, yellow sand, towers pointing directly at the sky... But this place is not only beautiful, the destruction of Longqing Base is the number one mystery of Doomsday - God knows Longqing Base before I figured out what Doomsday is Prospered, turned the tide and saved the world!"

"However, no matter how powerful it is, it will still be breached," Dai Kun interjected: "Some people say that there is a rebellion caused by discord among the top management, and that the base leader's excessive centralization of power caused public anger, was assassinated by assassins... and the zombie king came to this kind of fantasy. The description, anyway, for some reason, the Longqing base was attacked from the inside, and the base leader died suddenly, causing the base to lose control directly, and then the city was besieged by zombies."

"There are only ruins left." You said softly.

In order to fulfill the wish of Lucas in his lifetime, you have to pay more time and gas, so you have a reason to let Lucas do his best.

"Lucas, go to the car and get that plastic sheet I found in the orphanage." Lucas pursed his lips, and even with a face of reluctance, he got up from his sleeping bag to help you run errands.

You sprinkle sulfur powder around, wipe your hands clean and sit on the floor next to Dai Kun. Dai Kun quickly disperses the smoke and throws the cigarette butt into the bonfire, "Uncle Dai, do you have sleeping pills?"

"Yes, what's the matter, didn't you sleep well?"

You pressed the center of your brows, "The symptoms have worsened recently, and I can't sleep at all. When I close my eyes, there are all messy hallucinations."

"Okay, I'll get it later."

"No," you stopped him, turned your head and shouted, "Lucas! Bring Uncle Dai's medical kit."

"Why didn't you say it earlier, I'm already walking back!" Lukas complained while throwing down the plastic sheet, stamped his feet, and ran away angrily.

Dai Kun twisted the thick callus on his index finger and said, "Or you can sleep with Calvino tonight, I think you slept well last time."

"Stop teasing me, it was purely accidental."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Your tone is half teasing and half serious: "Uncle Dai, your medical license hasn't expired yet, and your words are getting more and more unprofessional now."

"Ha, boy, what license do you need without the government?"

You were so stalked that you couldn't answer, Dai Kun grinned, caught the medical bag that Lucas threw over angrily, pulled out a white medicine bottle and handed it over, "Pay attention to the dosage."

After you thank you, glance at Calvino while reading the instructions by the firelight. He is staring at the sky in a daze.

What catches your eyes?You followed his frozen gaze.The sky tonight is as featureless as any other night before. This thing that is pressing on the heads of all living beings will be covered by all kinds of dust during the day, but the night is surprisingly pure black, unlike before the end of the world, it will be polluted by various artificial light sources , without a little impurity, dark, like the cloak of death.

With all your thoughts, maybe you can try this crooked idea, and you won’t lose anything if you treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor—you have nothing on your body except endless pain.

You swallowed the pill, stuffed the bottle into your pocket, and moved over to sit next to the silver-haired young man, "Calvino, do you mind if I sleep next to you today?"

Calvino rolled his eyes to look at you, but he didn't make a sound. For some reason, he woke up every time he saw Calvino for so many nights.You see these silver eyes reflecting the dull blackness of the top of your head, looking a bit dull.

You are used to his indifference, you shrugged and were about to walk away, when Calvino stopped you: "I don't mind."

You turned your back to him and raised a smile. Although Calvino didn't like to talk, he was still very friendly to you in the past few days.

You lie on the blanket, put your hands under the back of your head, close your eyes, and block out the fire and night, "Calvino, I'm asleep, good night."

"Good night."

I don't know if it's the drug or it's Calvino (but it's absolutely impossible), you fall asleep very quickly, but this rare night is quickly interrupted - something hits you The hard head knocked you awake.You covered your head and stared dazedly at the culprit who disturbed you. It took a long time to recognize that it was the knife used by Calvino, and Calvino was attracted by the noise.

You saw that Calvino was still the same as when you fell asleep, and he didn't even change his posture, so you asked inarticulately, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm on vigil."

You didn't bother to care about the truth of this sentence, so you lay on your back with your eyes wide open, Calvino's silver hair fell in your peripheral vision, reminding you of the few rays of moonlight leaking in from the window lattice at night.You turned over to face him, probably because you just woke up and your head was not bright enough, you tried to think about it, and suddenly asked inexplicably: "Calvino, are you comfortable with this knife?"

"Very easy." Calvino replied dryly.

"Really? I dug out that knife randomly. It may not be of good quality. When we reach the border, there will be some mobile shops that can find you a better one. Using this kind of weapon is too wasteful of your ability." Now, show me the knife first."

Calvino made a "hmm" sound, picked up the knife beside him and handed it over, you pulled out the scabbard, orange flames jumped on the blade.

You carefully looked at the knife in your hand, "It seems that it's a little blunt... Do you know how to use a gun? I still have a modified maglin gun, which is still very useful."

"No, I think this knife is very good..." Calvino leaned over to grab the knife a little nervously, like a little girl about to be robbed of her toy.But in the haste, the long knife accidentally cut your cheek, you took a breath, Calvino hastily slashed the blade sideways, and the silver knife narrowly missed you and plunged obliquely into the soil.Calvino was at a loss for a moment: "Ah, Lin Luo!"

Most of your drowsiness woke up: "It's okay, Calvino, I..."

Calvino held the handle of the knife, raised his elbows, and carefully wiped away the blood oozing from your cheeks. You are so close that you can see yourself reflected in his silver-gray pupils, as if frozen in the A little ink in it.

This posture is too ambiguous, Calvino almost pressed you under him and trapped you between his arms, but you did not notice this strange atmosphere, because you found that his eyes were silver-gray like steel, Instead of the moonlight-like color you always thought.This color is so familiar, you try hard to catch the ghostly shadow in your mind, it is the same silver gray as steel...

thump.

Your eyes widened suddenly, and your body froze.

thump.

Your heart beats against your ribs, ready to burst through your thin chest at any moment.

The shadow in my mind stopped, instantly dissipated, and became a mist that filled everything. Vision, ears, and sense of smell, the gray mist melted into the blood, almost strangling you to death.

You opened your mouth helplessly, but there wasn't even a speck of excess air to squeeze into your lungs.Fear covers your ears, and you can only hear the chaotic sound of your body under the weight of fear - rapid heartbeat, buzzing blood flow, heavy breathing... The cold fingertips of that person touch you , silver-gray eyes without impurities, just staring at you like this.

Calvino.
