Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

Fu Yunlan left the garrison camp without looking back. Heita and Li Jiesi looked at each other, but shook their heads helplessly and sighed, but Li Kailin was silent for a while, and suddenly opened the door and chased after him .

Fu Yunlan didn't leave the city right away, but went home first, put on the thickest overcoat, and counted the ammunition and weapons. When Li Kailin caught up, he was packing food and water into his backpack.

Seeing her coming in a hurry, Fu Yunlan didn't stop what she was doing: "I hope you didn't come to persuade me."

"Of course not, I want to go with you!" Li Kailin said firmly, "You're right, we can't just give up like this."

"Thank you for your kindness, there's no need." When Fu Yunlan zipped up the backpack and slung the backpack on his back, he couldn't help frowning because the movement was too big and the wound was pulled.

"...Why would you rather die alone than let me be with you?" Li Kailin looked at him with eyes that Fu Yunlan didn't understand.

"I'm not going to die." Fu Yunlan locked the door, and continued to talk to Li Kailin as she walked out of the town, "Your father is right, it is impossible for us to snatch Sully back from other forces by force." Sturt, the only way I can think of is to negotiate, and it doesn't make sense for one more person to take risks in this kind of thing."

"You want to negotiate with them alone?" Li Kailin said in surprise, "But... there is no chance of winning."

"There is no chance of winning. My only bargaining chip is Celeste's attitude. He will definitely be on my side. Those people who took so much trouble to kidnap Celeste must be because they need his repairing skills. Since I want him to fix things, I dare not make the relationship too rigid."

"But all of this is just your speculation." Li Kailin said, "And you are injured, at least let me escort you there."

While talking, they passed by the big iron cage on the square. The mutant who had worried him so much was now curled up in a corner of the cage, motionless, with a layer of snow on his body, as if he had been frozen into a ice lump.

Fu Yunlan pulled the gun with a "click" two to thirty meters away from him, and he immediately looked towards this side.

With just one glance, Fu Yunlan understood that he couldn't kill this mutant, so he didn't waste bullets in vain. He sighed and said to Li Kailin: "I'm going to die this time, but I have a reason to go, you And why do you have to take this risk?"

"I..." Li Kailin was speechless.

"Stay here, this town still needs you." Fu Yunlan said, "The two of us cannot take risks together."

"Actually, you don't have to go, the town needs you more." Li Kailin is still making the last effort.

"I know...but I have to do this." Fu Yunlan didn't give any further explanations. In fact, he also knew that the actions of Heita and Li Jiesi were more rational, and Celeste was not forced to Kidnapped by vicious people like bandits, as a rare technical talent, he will be valued and loved in other forces like Old Hunter, and even more valued than Old Hunter.If they don't have the ability to snatch him back, then letting him go to other more powerful forces is a better choice for Celeste and others.

But Fu Yunlan couldn't do it. In the past, he never believed that anyone could not live without others, but now he couldn't imagine losing Celeste at all.

When Li Jiesi finally found his daughter outside the city gate, Fu Yunlan had already walked away along the traces left by the group yesterday, and Li Kailin just looked at his back motionlessly.

"Karin..." Li Jiesi called out worriedly.

"I'm just here to show him the way." Li Kailin sighed and walked back dejectedly.

"Master, although you have asked me not to jump out and disturb you if there is no particularly important matter, I still have some doubts about the definition of this 'especially important matter'." Marth suddenly said in Celeste In his mind, he said, "Except for you encountering danger or encountering a life-and-death decision, if other people encounter life-and-death matters—or, if they don't necessarily die, but if they continue to let it go, there is a possibility of death... ..."

Celeste sighed: "Can I get to the point?"

"Fu Yunlan came out to look for you."

"Lan?" Celeste said in surprise, "But his injuries haven't healed yet, why didn't others stop him?"

"They tried to stop you, but it was useless. Fu Yunlan has now followed the trail where you were taken away."

"... No, I can't go back. I have to find him and tell me the nearest route."

"Master can go in the direction of 4 o'clock. Yes, turn left a little bit, that's the direction. If you go straight ahead, you can meet Fu Yunlan in the shortest time." Ma Si said, "However, go in this direction The master may encounter the group of kidnappers who just camped on the nearby high ground, but if the master chooses to avoid their sight from another direction, the time consumed is enough for Fu Yunlan to follow the master traces into the radiation zone."

"Just walk in a straight line, I will never let Lan enter the radiation zone." Celeste took out the gun Dandy gave him, "If those people stop me, I will let them know how powerful it is."

Fu Yunlan has been walking in the field for more than an hour. His walking speed is not fast, because if he walks too fast, he will tear the wound. Even so, his physical strength is still exhausted, and he doesn't even have extra energy to guard his surroundings. The only thing in his eyes is All I could see was that line of footprints that seemed to never end.

The snowy field in winter was as quiet as if there was only his own panting, and the repeated crunching of his boots on the snow.

Because he has been walking all the time, he doesn't feel cold, but he feels very tired, so tired that he seems to exhaust all his strength every time he lifts his feet, but he dare not stop to rest, who knows if he will still feel better after sitting down Strength to stand up again.

Just when Fu Yunlan thought that this road would never end, an unusual sign suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The series of footprints turned to another direction without warning, and everyone's steps changed. big.

He knelt down and gently brushed off the snow on the surface, carefully discerning the traces left by last night, and restored everything that happened yesterday from those traces—someone walked backwards, and rolled down the slope, Celis Te took the opportunity to flee in another direction - he recognized Celeste's sole pattern, and the others chased him all the way.

Seeing Celeste running away, Fu Yunlan not only didn't feel relieved, but her whole heart was in suspense.

If Celeste followed those kidnappers, at least his life would not be in danger for the time being. Those people must have desperately needed his talents to run such a long distance in such a cold day to kidnap him, but he Run, everything becomes unknown.

Will those people shoot and accidentally injure him during the chase, will they beat him angrily after catching him, and what's more frightening is that if he really escapes, he may be lost or physically exhausted Frozen to death in this wilderness.

Fu Yunlan's whole heart was clenched, especially thinking that Celeste might have fallen somewhere he didn't know at this time, and gradually stopped breathing amidst the cold and despair, Fu Yunlan's heart felt like a knife .

He no longer cared about the pain of the wound, and walked forward quickly after the trace, just thinking about going faster, and faster, if it was fast enough, he might still be able to save Celeste in time, if it was already too late , then he must at least find Celeste's body, and he can't be left lying alone in the wild, buried by the wind and snow.

Celeste was also trotting towards Fu Yunlan's direction. Although he was impatient, he couldn't run fast with his physical strength.

He could already see the dark green tents on the high ground in the distance.

Celeste didn't understand why these people still refused to give up. There were plains nearby, and there was nothing to cover them. From where they camped, they could see a large piece of land around them. Celeste wanted to completely surround them. To pass their sight, at least a few kilometers more to walk, he can afford to delay, but Fu Yunlan can't afford to delay.

He quickened his pace, trying to sneak past the tent when no one was outside.

However, a person who happened to come outside the tent to relieve himself spotted him sharply, and immediately, all the people in the tent chased him out yelling.

Celeste wanted to run at first, but because he was wearing too much and his feet were slippery, he accidentally lost his balance and fell on the snow. He simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up. Well, Kars is as agile as a leopard, he must not be able to run, and running more wrong roads will only make him spend more time when he is dragged back.

Sure enough, it was Kars who caught up first. He pulled Celeste up from the snow and said in a loud voice: "Hey, hey, are you okay? Are you okay? I'll wipe it, why don't you look a little bit okay? No, how is it, do you feel like vomiting? Why are you like this, you run into the radiation area without looking back, is the radiation area a place where people can enter? Do you know that people will die? I know! Thanks to the fact that you are the son of a scientist, you don’t even know this, are you really okay?”

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Celeste took out the flower of thorns and placed it on his head.

Kars' men immediately raised their weapons and shouted at him to let the boss go.

Kars raised his hands to signal everyone to calm down: "Stop making trouble, put down the guns, put down the guns! I don't want anyone to get hurt, understand?"

Kars's men took the lead in lowering their guns hesitantly, but Celeste still put the gun on Kars's head and said expressionlessly, "I won't go with you."

"I understand. I've seen your determination." Kars said, "Put the gun down first, can we have a good chat?"
