doomsday burning

Opinion, he just put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and left.

He knew that he had lost his composure, but he stayed where he was, not knowing whether he would continue to lose his composure.That's right, Zhou Li's words really stimulated something in his heart, causing him to overreact.

The current situation is that the base is destroyed and Zhong Qin is missing, but at least both Zhou Li and Tang Yao believe that she is definitely not dead.So, where to go?

"I know there's a man's place near here."

Some usable food and water were found in the ruins of the base. In the early morning of the next day, when Zhou Li and Tang Yao were discussing the next plan, Tang Yao said so.

"But that place is not a good place. I haven't been there for many years, and I don't know much about the current situation there. In short, the safety factor is very low. An ordinary person like you may die if he goes there."

Tang Yao's words were so vague that Zhou Li couldn't figure out his true thoughts.

"Whether you want to come with me or not is up to you."

There is nothing else to decide, if you don't go with Tang Yao, Zhou Li can only wander around in this dangerous wilderness alone, and there is no personal safety at all.

"Don't complain that I didn't give you a chance to choose in the future, boy."

Seeing Zhou Li nodding his head without hesitation, Tang Yao exhorted him rather harshly.He raised his leg, turned around and left, while Zhou Li followed immediately.

The journey ahead is still long, very long.

☆、Xicheng Prison

chapter1

In his field of vision was the endless blue sky, and the sunlight was so strong that he had to squint his eyes, his brain was still buzzing, and his bones were brittle.Slowly raising his right hand to cover his eyes, Zhou Li could barely realize whether he was lying on the car or a convertible.

"woke up?"

Tang Yao's voice came from the front, upon hearing his voice, Zhou Li heaved a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again with peace of mind, and answered vaguely.

"kindness."

"You must be hungry since you were in a coma yesterday. But unfortunately, we have neither food nor water."

Only then did Zhou Li notice that Tang Yao's voice was very hoarse, and knowing that he needed to conserve his energy, he didn't continue to ask any further questions.Although he was still completely confused about the situation, there was no doubt that he was able to live here because he was saved by Tang Yao.

Let's go back in time a little bit.

After leaving the ruins of Long Xiao Base, Zhou Li and Tang Yao brought enough food and water for three days, and walked in the direction Tang Yao remembered.However, when the two had just walked on the winding mountain road less than ten kilometers away from the base, they unexpectedly met a convoy.

Eight vehicles, 29 people.

The convoy was parked on the side of the road and appeared to be taking a break.Zhou Li and Tang Yao looked at each other, but chose to go over to see the situation.

There are old people and children in this group, and it can be clearly seen that they are composed of people of different classes hastily.When Zhou Li, who was also a human being, approached Tang Yao, he immediately received a warm welcome.Not only because the more people gather, the more secure they feel, but also because of the camouflage uniforms worn by Zhou Li and the others.

"Are you soldiers?"

A cigarette can start the conversation smoothly, the middle-aged man who looks like the temporary leader of the convoy is biting the cigarette that Zhou Li handed him, his eyes full of expectation and worry.

"Yes, but we were also separated from the main force."

Tang Yao next to him, with a smile in his eyes, glanced at Zhou Li intentionally or unintentionally.Zhou Li's nine sentences were true and one false was used to get close to the other party. Most of the information he got was useless, but a small part was worth noting.

The reason why this convoy came here safely is because of one person.

The eyes of Zhou Li and Tang Yao converged, and then they pointed at a young man sitting alone in the corner.

In appearance, he was no more than twenty-five years old, with dyed blond hair and a nonchalant complexion.As if aware of the gazes of Zhou Li and Tang Yao, the young man raised his head and looked over quietly.

Quiet as a dead man.

From this person, Zhou Li could not see any anger.

"Murderous."

A hand suddenly pressed Zhou Li's shoulder, Tang Yao said these three words seriously with a serious face.

Zhou Li was stunned.

Zhou Li didn't feel the murderous intent at all.He just felt a little cold, and looking at those lifeless eyes made him feel cold all over.It was a kind of cold that came from the bones, drilled into the bone marrow bit by bit, and penetrated into the heart.

"Peace."

Tang Yao suddenly covered Zhou Li's eyes with his hand, he embraced Zhou Li's shoulder from behind, put his mouth close to Zhou Li's ear, and whispered softly.

"Fear comes from within yourself."

The hot air coming from the ears seemed to come along with the words.Zhou Li's body, which was paralyzed by the cold from the bottom of his heart, regained consciousness. His hands hanging by his sides slowly closed into fists. At the same time, Tang Yao also took away the hands covering his eyes.Zhou Li looked at those lifeless eyes again, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, and he smiled a little stiffly.

The young man looked away.

The convoy was going to the country's general refuge base somewhere on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The one who led the way was a young woman who was said to be the daughter of a high-ranking official in the original country.After analyzing the route, Tang Yao came to the conclusion that they could join this convoy for a while.For the time being, it's two days.

Zhou Li had already managed to get along with the middle-aged man who was the temporary leader of the convoy, and the other party welcomed the two soldiers very much.There are 29 people in eight cars, and there is more than enough carrying capacity for the two of them.As the team's second speaker, the woman leading the way also expressed no objection to the addition of two handsome men to the team.So Zhou Li and Tang Yao temporarily joined the team, and they were assigned to a Porsche, because only this car had enough space for the two of them to ride together.

By the way, this is the car of the blond young man.

After Zhou Li and the others joined, the first attack the convoy encountered was at midnight that day.After nearly ten days of journey, these humans have figured out the patterns of appearance and appearance of many huge monsters.Night is their active period, so the convoy found an abandoned roadside gas station to stop at night.

The sky was dark, it was a gloomy new moon night.

Zhou Li leaned against the concrete wall and wrapped the canvas covering his body tighter.It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so cold in the south in October, but the weather is getting weirder and weirder these days.Not to mention the night, even in broad daylight, Zhou Li, who only wore a camouflage uniform, often felt cold.

In this small room, most of the people who were exhausted during the day had already fallen asleep, and only a few people gathered together to chat quietly.After the convoy decided to stop here, Tang Yao greeted Zhou Li and disappeared, and he hasn't returned until now.Turning his eyes slightly, Zhou Li looked at the blond young man leaning against the door of the room with his eyes closed.

Who the hell is he.

Zhou Li couldn't fall asleep, as soon as he closed his eyes, those lifeless eyes would appear in his mind, making his nerves unable to relax at all.In his philosophy of life, simply forget the things you don't understand. This is the secret of living easily.

Just as Zhou Li was staring at the young man in a daze, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Of course he didn't open his eyes for Zhou Li, he saw the golden hair move, and the young man got up quietly and walked out of the room.Without thinking much, not even thinking about it, Zhou Li gently lifted the canvas on his body, and walked out following the young man's back.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Zhou Li once again realized the correctness of this sentence, he just couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and followed it, but now he fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

If Zhou Li was compared to a little white rabbit, then this little white rabbit was accidentally breaking into the pack of wolves.

Densely swarming ferocious beast pupils spread all over the open space not far from the door of the room. Zhou Li stood at the door of the room, which was the edge of the circle surrounded by the group of monsters.And that blond young man stood impressively in the middle of the encirclement.

In the silent night, even these ferocious monsters tacitly kept quiet.The two wolf-shaped monsters closest to Zhou Li also turned their attention away from the center of the field. They watched Zhou Li quietly, their eyes flashing red, frantic and ferocious.

There seemed to be an unknown drum beating, once, twice, three times.

fight, start.

The young people in the field suddenly turned into golden lightning, piercing into the herd of beasts without hesitation.And the two giant wolves who had targeted Zhou Li also jumped up at the same time, and rushed towards Zhou Li with their huge beast mouths open.

Zhou Li was loading the gun.

He didn't even complete the action of loading the gun, and the two huge animal mouths rushed in front of him.At the very moment, Zhou Li's eyes narrowed, and he dodged and rolled out from the narrow gap between the two animal mouths.He straightened his upper body, half kneeled on the ground, and raised his gun to shoot.

But only two wolf corpses were seen that had been cut in half from the middle.

A golden lightning flashed across the air. Zhou Li held up his pistol and opened his mouth wide to growl, but he couldn't utter even a faint moan.

A dim crescent moon reveals a small body from behind the dark clouds. In the black blood flying all over the sky, that golden figure is like a mysterious and stunning dark elf.

Dancer of the night, Oto no name.

================================================== ========================

chapter2

"Chinese dragon group?"

At dawn the next day, as soon as Zhou Li opened his eyes, he saw Tang Yao next to him who came back at some time.After telling the other party what he saw with his own eyes last night, Tang Yao spat out a term that made him a little confused.

"Yes, just like those novels, our country does have such an institution, and the people in it are all legendary superpowers."

Tang Yao obviously hasn't woken up yet, he explained to Zhou Li sleepily, with a look of naturalness on his face.

"Actually, I had doubts yesterday. After all, he is also a well-known figure in the industry. Dancer of the Night, Otona, was originally the young master of a mafia family's music family, but he joined the state apparatus."

It turned out that his name was Yin Wuming.

Zhou Li didn't really fall asleep until after 3 midnight yesterday, and his mental state was obviously at a low point.However, this name penetrated deeply into his drowsy brain like lightning, and it was hard to get rid of it.

"You kid... interested in men?"

Tang Yao looked at the expression on Zhou Li's face, and said this for a while.What he said was rather cryptic, but the meaning of what he said was clearly expressed.

"No way."

It was not the first time that Zhou Li was asked this kind of question, so his answer was also very neat and straightforward.

"Whether it's male or female, it doesn't matter to me as long as I like it."

So the matter came to an end, and Tang Yao did not continue to ask.This is not a good time for in-depth communication, and Zhou Li and Tang Yao have only known each other for less than five days.

The convoy gathered again at 7:[-] in the morning and set off again. The drivers implemented a rotation system, but there was only one person who could guide the way.Fortunately, that woman is not a delicate lady with a temper, but she is quite tough and tough in terms of temperament.

The hands of the clock wobbled and jumped back, and the whole morning passed in the blink of an eye.Zhou Li and Tang Yao had been leaning against the back seat of the car all morning to catch up on sleep. Like them, Yin Wuming who was sitting in the passenger seat was also closing his eyes to catch up on sleep.

People who have already had enough experience and lessons, even during the lunch time, no one left the convoy more than ten meters away.

The attack came suddenly at this time.

Without warning, Zhou Li, who was gnawing bread, was pinned to the ground by Tang Yao's shoulders. Just as he opened his mouth to ask, a fiery hot air flow blew across from above.

Zhou Li, whose hair was scorched by the residual heat, stared blankly forward with his eyes wide open.At some point, a lone figure appeared less than [-] meters directly in front of the convoy.

That is, the people of Hell.

Crimson flames surrounded the man in an unreasonable form, looking like a demon descended from purgatory in a novel.The other party didn't even have the intention of approaching. He looked at the human beings lying on the ground on the side of the convoy who had survived his attack just now, waved his hand casually and sent out another flame beam.

"cut."

Tang Yao cursed in a low voice the moment he waved his hand, and hugged Zhou Li in a supine position and made a huge diving leap.Zhou Li flipped half a circle in the air as if flying through the clouds, and was held by Tang Yao and moved to a safe position just before the flames came.

A golden lightning flashed across the horizon.

Zhou Li lay on the ground, watching Yin Wuming rush towards the enemy covered in flames with an almost reckless posture.He blinked, watching those flames that were said to be beyond the scope of human cognition automatically give way in front of Otonashi, and suddenly felt very excited.

"It's the wind, and the wind cuts the fire apart."

Tang Yao, who was lying beside him, also squinted his eyes. He stared at Yin Wuming's movements, as if he was explaining Zhou Li, or talking to himself.

"Worthy of being the king of speed in the industry, Yin Wuming, his manipulation of the wind has reached the pinnacle."

Seemingly surprised that an inconspicuous human being could break through his own flames, the resident of the Infernal Prison retreated sharply to avoid Yin Wuming's attack, and opened his mouth with a very playful attitude.No, it is not appropriate to say that he opened his mouth.At that moment, a sentence was printed in the minds of all the living people here like thunder.

"Wind attribute warrior, you must be the strongest among human beings."

Yin Wuming's answer was a sharper wind blade.The invisible blade cut through the flames surrounding the people of the Hell, and cut off a corner of his clothes.

Zhou Li saw it.

At the same time that the wind blade broke through the flames, the resident of the Hell was originally standing directly in front of the wind blade, but at the next moment, he suddenly moved half a meter to the left as if he disappeared out of thin air.

"Walk."

Tang Yao also saw this scene, he pulled Zhou Li by the shoulder, and said the word with a solemn face.He could already foresee the outcome of this battle, so he had to evacuate quickly while Yin Wuming was still entangled with the people of the Fire Prison.

Zhou Li didn't speak.He just glanced at Yin Wuming who was fighting a powerful enemy again, then turned around and started to run wildly following Tang Yao's back.

Without power, there is no choice.

Without power, there is no right to say no.

"There are so many annoying ants."

Another mental wave was engraved in his mind, but this time the target of the conversation was obviously Zhou Li and the others.Feeling the turbulent heat coming from behind, Tang Yao turned his head and stretched out his hand to Zhou Li.

Just before the sea of ​​flames engulfed the two of them, Tang Yao pulled Zhou Li and resolutely jumped off the fence of the winding mountain road.

Of course Zhou Li and Tang Yao who jumped off the cliff did not die, so there was the opening scene.Lying on the convertible, looking at the watch facing the sun, Zhou Li also knew some superficial knowledge of living in the wild, at least he could judge a direction.At this time, the direction of the car is west.

Go west, what's on the west side?

The back view of Tang Yao driving the car looked very reliable. Although Zhou Li didn't know where he was going, he was not in a hurry to ask.

What should be known will be known sooner or later. In this world, there are no secrets.

Just before the sun was about to sink into the horizon, a blurry black shadow appeared at the end of the field of vision.Zhou Li leaned on the back of the car seat and tilted his head bluntly.

"arrive."

Tang Yao, who was driving, sounded a hoarse voice, with some kind of strange excitement, he turned his head and gave Zhou Li a hearty smile.It's just that the moment Zhou Li saw his face, his mind was completely attracted by the thick blood scab on it, and he didn't notice the smile at all.

The man with blood on his face bared his white teeth, his eyes were ferocious like a tiger.

The closer the car got to the building, the more uneasiness in Zhou's heart became stronger.He can already see the large piece of barbed wire on the outermost layer. Where is it necessary to erect so many barbed wire around the building?

"I really miss you, Xicheng Prison."

Tang Yao's voice was full of nostalgia just like his words.It's just that this kind of nostalgia seems to have a certain fishy rusty smell, and it's blood red.

West City, prison?

Zhou Li followed Tang Yao and got off the car in front of the barbed wire fence, and walked towards the big and somewhat exaggerated metal gate.Just standing still in front of the door, the metal walls on both sides of the door suddenly opened automatically, and the huge black barrels of the two machine guns expressed their unwelcome attitude towards them in a silent gesture.

"Crazy wolf."

Tang Yao spat out a name in a hoarse voice. He raised his blood-stained face and looked at somewhere in the upper left corner of the gate with cold eyes.

"Open the door for me."

The author has something to say: PS: So today’s outbreak is over == woo~~~~~

☆、Xicheng Prison

chapter3

The deathly silence made Zhou Li's hair grow involuntarily.

Click, click, click...

Roaring dully, the pitch-black behemoth opened its mouth.Looking at the metal door slowly opening in front of him, Tang Yao stepped in without the slightest hesitation. Zhou Li stared at his back, was stunned for a moment, and hurried up.

"Welcome back to West City Prison, Hungry Tiger."

The man who spoke in the tone of a master stood not far from the door, opened his arms, and quickly walked up to Tang Yao.But instead of the same pair of arms that answered him, it was a fist.Tang Yao punched the visitor on the right side of the face, then passed him without hesitation and walked inward.

Zhou Li followed closely behind Tang Yao, watching him turn into a very grand office in a familiar way, and then walked to the sofa that should be the owner's seat, unceremoniously sat down.

"This is Xicheng Prison, and it's my territory."

A waiter in a gray suit who did not know when appeared in the room had already served hot tea to Tang Yao and Zhou Li, and picked up the tea cup to moisten his smoky throat, Tang Yao said to Zhou Li.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of this place. After all, this is a military secret. Any country has hidden powers. This prison, as well as the genetic warrior transformation base we were going to, are all located in this place." A power that will only be used in extraordinary times.”

Zhou Li was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he felt that the ups and downs of his life in the past twenty years were actually wonderful and wonderful, but compared with the information revealed in Tang Yao's words, it was nothing short of trivial. It's ridiculous for children to play house.

No, in fact, any past, in the face of this illusory but real doomsday like a dream, is ridiculous and terrifying.

"Eat, and then have a good sleep. If you want, tomorrow I will tell you everything you want to know without reservation. However, that also means that you choose to enter the world where Zhong Qin and I live. "

Picking up the rice bowl, Tang Yao finished these few words indifferently, and started to deal with the food brought by the waiter without saying a word.Zhou Li's mouth was full of rice, he seemed to smile when he heard the words, and answered vaguely.

"kindness."

After eating and drinking, Zhou Li followed the waiter to the bedroom to rest.He walked out of the door of that office, and his eyes met the man standing outside the door inadvertently.With a shock, Zhou Li's footsteps stopped involuntarily.

blood red.

Shaking his head to regain his composure, Zhou Li looked over again, and found that it was clearly the same black pupils as his own, and the blood-red pupils that appeared just at that moment seemed to be an illusion.

Delusion?

At that moment just now, Zhou Li felt as if he was staring at a monster, yes, it was a monster.Like the monster he killed on that rainy night, this man has the same eyes as that monster.

He remembered that this man seemed to be the one who was called 'crazy wolf' by Tang Yao at the gate just now.The staring between the two sides didn't last long, only for a second or two, the man took the lead to look away, walked into the office where Zhou Li had just come out with a cold snort.With more and more doubts, Zhou Li also took another step, and thoughtfully followed the waiter to the resting room.

In any case, I always feel that I have been involved in a very complicated and troublesome situation.

Whose territory is Xicheng Prison?What is the relationship between Tang Yao and Crazy Wolf?No, actually Zhou Li didn't even know who Tang Yao was.The only thing that is certain is that he and Carillon had a close relationship.So the question arises again, who is Zhong Qin?

Sitting on the edge of the bed and lighting a cigarette, Zhou Li took a deep breath, then slowly fell backwards with his head raised.

"Life."

Xicheng Prison at dawn is like a dormant beast, quietly bathed in the clear light of the morning sun.The endless wasteland in the field of vision, in this golden light, bursts with incomparable vitality and sturdy and wild beauty.

"It's spectacular."

Standing on the open-air platform enjoying the sunrise scene, Zhou Li suddenly heard Tang Yao's voice. He turned around and saw Tang Yao in a black nightgown smiling at him standing at the entrance of the platform.

"I have seen the sunrise on the Golden Summit of Emei, and I was deeply intoxicated and shocked by the indescribable magnificence and beauty. But I don't know why, but I feel that the sunrise I see now is better than that time. more beautiful."

Tang Yao walked up to Zhou Li and stood side by side with him, appreciating the miraculous beauty of nature at this moment.Hearing Zhou Li's emotion, he sighed softly.

"The beauty of the scenery requires people to appreciate it. Different people naturally have different opinions. Even the same person will have completely different perceptions at different stages of his life."

"You have wandered on the edge of life and death several times, and watching the sunrise now is naturally different from the feeling you had when you lived in ease."

Zhou Li didn't say anything, he knew Tang Yao was right.Man is constantly changing, because of what he experiences.Although Zhou Li still doesn't know whether this change is a good thing or not.

"The female spider of Zhong's family likes you very much. I have never known what is so special about you that will make her look at you differently. After getting along with you these days, I gradually understand."

Turning around and leaning against the guardrail of the platform, Tang Yao took out the cigarette case and lighter from the pocket of his nightgown, handed Zhou Li a cigarette, took one himself, and lit the lighter.Zhou Li bit his cigarette and leaned over, the butts of the two cigarettes touched together, and they were lit in the flickering flame.

"Staying with you makes me feel comfortable, at ease, and without constraints. How should I put it? It's like the space around you is separated from the outside world. Standing next to you belongs only to the space you are in."

His hands made a circle of nothingness, Tang Yao seemed to be laughed at by his own words, he put down his hands, and no longer tried to explain his feelings.Thanks to him, Zhou Li was also confused.Putting aside this topic altogether, Zhou Li asked his own question.

"What did you say you wanted to tell me yesterday?"

"Don't rush."

Pointing to the nightgown on his body, Tang Yao yawned exaggeratedly, showing a pitiful sleepy face.

"Let me go back to bed and lie down for a while. I didn't go to bed until midnight yesterday."

Tang Yao's ability to change the topic is absolutely extreme, and Zhou Li clearly realized this when the two met for the first time.But since Tang Yao said he would tell him, there is no need to doubt it.

Trust and patience, Zhou Li is never stingy with the people he recognizes.

================================================== ======================

chapter4

Westside Prison.

Belonging to the national system, but separated from the unique existence of official jurisdiction.

According to Tang Yao's words, this place is equipped with the most advanced anti-surveillance system, with top-notch concealment.Although in this case, it doesn't matter whether it is concealed or not.There are two differences from ordinary prisons, one is the prisoners, and the other is the method of sex.The prisoners here are a bit special, 90.00% of them cannot be described as normal people.Supernatural beings, ancient warriors, mad scientists, and mutants.Putting any one in the society can cause chaos, and it is impossible for ordinary prisons to hold them.Even here, only a softer house arrest style of management is used.The center of the entire West City Prison is a small city where all prisoners are free to live and do whatever they want except they cannot leave.The outside world will regularly import materials into it, and if they want to obtain the food and water needed for survival, they must rely on their own strength.In this way, the prisoners are constantly provoked to fight among themselves, allowing them to restrain each other to achieve the purpose of management.

And the ultimate barrier that prevents prisoners from escaping from this prison city is the 'spider web' system erected around the central city.This is the ultimate prison defense system designed and supervised by Zhong Qin five years ago. Since the completion of the 'spider web' system, no prisoner has been able to escape from this prison.

Standing beside Tang Yao, Zhou Li watched the circle of black buildings named 'Spider Web' together, and suddenly heard the man beside him sigh and say.

"The female spider of Zhong's family is named 'Black Widow' because of this. You know, her only master is also in this prison. The 'spider web' system is a fully intelligent and automated system, so once established, it will be Zhong It is impossible for Qin herself to go in and rescue her master."

Tang Yao's expression was subtle when he spoke, full of remembrance, depression, and a little bit of elusive sadness.

"The process is very complicated, but the result is that Zhong Qin personally sent the master who raised her to prison, and then set up an absolutely irreversible 'spider web' system to kill him forever."

Zhou Li was silent.

"Since she did this, there must be her reasons. I don't understand, and there is no need to delve into it. The cognition between people is always limited. As long as we find common points in the limited cognition, we can Bonds can be created.”

Slowly snuffing out the cigarette butt in his hand, Zhou Li's voice was firm and powerful.

"It's that simple."

After lunch, Tang Yao handed Zhou Li a brand new set of casual clothes and asked him to change out of his combat uniform.Then told him an address, a name.

"No. 331, East A District, Xie Minran."

"He is the master of Zhongqin. If you want to gain the strength to survive in this troubled world, you can ask him. I will send you to the prison city from the entrance of the East District later. I believe you can find him alive."

Tang Yao who said this didn't mean to be joking at all, he was very serious about sending Zhou Li to the prison city that claimed that once he entered, he would never come out.Zhou Li was not given a gun, because Tang Yao believed that he did not have the strength to protect the weapon, and bringing a gun was just to give others a reason to snatch it.Two sleeve knives, a combat dagger, and a thin blade hidden in the sole of the shoe, this is Zhou Li's full armor.As for the reason why Zhou Li was sent to prison, Tang Yao quickly answered.

"The people of Hell are systematically annihilating human gathering places, and this place has been targeted."

This is a war, a real war, a war between humans and the people of Hell.

"The 'spider web' system can't stop those people from the Hell."

Leading Zhou Li to the entrance of the East District of the Prison City, Tang Yao's voice was very low, but with unquestionable affirmation.

"Go, go get the power you want, and escape when the people of Hell destroy the 'spider web' system. In this doomsday, live."

"how about you?"

Zhou Li watched Tang Yao quietly. In his eyes, this man who was always optimistic and strong shook his head wearily.

"This is my place, my home."

"My wife and children all died in the disaster, and now this is the only thing left of me."

Tang Yao opened the metal door of the entrance, pushed Zhou Li in, and then pressed the button to close the door.Outside the slowly closing door, he smiled heartily.

"Just let me die with this goddamn place."

The walls of the passage leading to the central prison city are inlaid with blue cold light, making it extremely quiet and eerie.The longer you stay in such a place, the more depressed you feel.Every hundred meters or so forward, there will be a metal valve, which will automatically open when Zhou Li comes close, and then close immediately after he passes, as if announcing that there is no way out.

The footsteps were unusually heavy, and Zhou Li felt that his nerves had been paralyzed, and his forward movement was mechanical and stiff.A little dazed, he couldn't help but think of Tang Yao's smile and that sentence.

[Just let me finish with this goddamn place. 】

Is this a farewell?

Indeed, one does not need any reason to die.Especially at times like this, it is easier than ever to choose to give up on life.Zhou Li also wanted to die at the beginning, but he has stumbled and lived until now, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or depressed.It's just that after going through this series of bizarre and arduous struggles with death, he now wants to live.

Some dazzling sunlight in the afternoon shot into the dark passage from behind the open valve, and shone on Zhou Li's dazed face.He raised his head slowly, looking at the endless sky.

"Life."

Sighing, she raised her leg and stepped out of the valve that was the dividing point between light and darkness.Standing in the warm afternoon sun, Zhou Li lowered his head and smiled silently.

The central prison city is divided into four districts, east, west, north, south, and the prisoners living in it are also distributed according to their strength from weak to strong.The area within one kilometer around the material supply point in the center of the city is the default restricted zone, and only the four rulers of each district can enter on the first day of each month, and obtain different quantities of materials according to the agreement.There are no explicit rules in this city, only unspoken rules that differ from district to district.But among the many unspoken rules, only one is common.

The strong are respected.

The day when Zhou Li came in happened to be the first day of this month, and almost everyone was busy collecting supplies and gathered near the central area.He walked on the empty streets, observing the somewhat dilapidated city in a daze.I wanted to find someone to ask the way, but after walking for a long time, I didn't even see anyone.Restraining his curiosity, Zhou Li carefully observed the inconspicuous number plates on the buildings on both sides of the street.No. 331, East District A, this is his destination.

"Hey, brother, do you want a bowl of noodles?"

Startled by the rough voice that suddenly sounded behind him, Zhou Li turned his head stiffly, and saw a rough man with a towel tied on his head smiling kindly at him.

"No."

Shaking his head and walking towards the other party, Zhou Li realized that there was a Lanzhou ramen restaurant behind him.While lamenting that Lanzhou ramen restaurants are everywhere, scratching his head in embarrassment, he shrugged and opened his mouth.

"I have no money."

================================================== =======================

chapter5

Clear water noodle soup.

Zhou Li drinks from a bowl
