The fifth dawn came unexpectedly.

The long, harsh cold night receded silently below the horizon, illuminated by the vigorous rising sun.

Lu Xingzhao wore a cloak, hid his face and dim gray eyes under the hood, and followed at the end of the team.

This long line stretched out from the entrance of the S base, and it was hundreds of meters long.If you want to enter the S base, you must first conduct an inspection at the time they stipulated to make sure that you are not infected or a spy, and then you will get a certificate-this certificate can only guarantee the passage of a specific time.

If the queue time is too long and the time is up before the queue is up, then you will not be able to get in for three days.

Lu Xingzhao watched in silence for a moment, then reached under the cloak with his right hand, and took out a beautiful ruby ​​from the leather tactical belt.

After the end of the world, the value of these precious little things has been greatly reduced, but they can still be used as a currency equivalent in some places.

After bribing the guard with this ruby, the pass was confiscated, and Lu Xingzhao walked into Base S with a new pass.

This form is only signed for "three hours", which means that if you don't leave the S base within three hours, the next pass will not be so easy to sign.

All large bases have such strict rules, they do not lack labor force, and some survivors want to go in and find a safe place to sleep when they are overcrowded.Therefore, even if it is just to spend the night in the base - such a simple thing needs to be certified, and this kind of certification can also be exchanged for a certain amount of food outside.

As the morning light brightened, Lu Xingzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, his light gray pupils contracted and then enlarged uncontrollably.

Because he had a high fever for too long when he woke up, his eyesight became poor, and he had to look down at the road.

When walking on the street, you will always be "bumped" by many people inadvertently.After Lu Xingzhao reached out to grab one of the thieves expressionlessly, and crushed his hand bones into comminuted fractures, these talents finally calmed down a bit.

If they feel that Lu Xingzhao is easy to bully, then they will not only steal, but will soon form a team to rob, and use the remaining value of "human" after robbing everything - the body of an adult man can extract at least 30 yuan before the end of the world Value; after the end of the world, it will depreciate, depending on whether it can withstand a lot of labor or bait work.

Lu Xingzhao quickly crossed the street and came to the inner city wall, and saw that there were already people waiting.

This person is Bai Ruan's assistant, responsible for many daily chores.After seeing Lu Xingzhao, he said impatiently, "Why did it take so long this time? What did you bring?"

"Two new crystal nuclei." Lu Xingzhao said lightly, "They must hand in one during the inspection. I spent some time 'convincing' them."

The assistant took the two supernatural crystal nuclei and trembled slightly at their huge value. He said excitedly: "These two pieces are not small, they can be exchanged for at least three hundred food coupons. Where did you get them, no? A supernatural user from base S, right?"

"I killed members of the Judgment Sect." Lu Xingzhao looked directly at him with light gray eyes, showing a trace of displeasure, "Their hands have been stretched too far."

The assistant nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, Team Leader Bai said the same thing. He was very upset that the Trial Cult was targeting Huailin, and he kept asking the base to take a tougher attitude towards the Trial Cult, so that they can't keep coveting our people... ..."

Hearing a certain name, Lu Xingzhao's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "How is Huailin?"

The assistant said: "It's still the same. Eat and sleep on time every day, the appetite is still decreasing, but people don't see any changes. They don't like to talk to anyone when they meet, so they can say a few words when Team Leader Bai comes."

"Is his stomach problem better?" Lu Xingzhao asked.

The assistant thought about it for a while and replied: "Last month was much better, but I still want to drink porridge. The oatmeal you brought back last time has been eaten up. He was very happy and asked me if there is a delicious one in the base. It's—"

Lu Xingzhao said, "You didn't tell me, did you?"

"No, no." The assistant said helplessly, "Didn't you agree with Team Leader Bai early in the morning? How dare I confess you directly. Huailin is also a child at heart, and if he couldn't find out after asking a few times, he just gave up. .”

Lu Xingzhao nodded silently, rubbed his right hand subconsciously on the rough holster around his waist, and said after a while: "Next time I will bring some oatmeal. Take care of Huai Lin, don't let him eat those unclean things again Let Bai Ruan look at him a little bit, Huai Linai hides all kinds of food on his body—"

The assistant couldn't help laughing and said: "Huai Lin is really a hamster. He likes to hide everything he sees first, and then slowly share it after storing a lot. Last time he was happy to share two pieces of chocolate with me. I guess it was because of oatmeal. For the sake of this, I leave a piece for you."

Lu Xingzhao took the chocolate he handed over, with a hint of tenderness in his expression.He put the chocolate into the empty holster, and finally nodded: "You go back."

Half of the time had passed, Lu Xingzhao turned and walked into the alley.

Not long after, his figure appeared on the roof, hiding himself with the intricate buildings, and soon came to the city wall, turned over and climbed up silently, and finally walked around the wall familiarly The guards and infrared rays quietly squatted at the corner of the city wall.

In the changing morning light, he looked far and wide.

He used to be an excellent sniper, able to monitor the movement of targets hundreds of meters away with his naked eyes; but now he can't even see the people who want to see clearly.

Huai Lin's face is always a bit blurred in his memory, the outline seems to be glowing, the whole person can't see clearly, like a flower in the fog, like a moon in the water.

At this time of the week, Huai Lin always opens the window to ventilate and take a look at the fireworks blooming in the sky.

He didn't know that it was the fireworks set off by Lu Xingzhao.

Lu Xingzhao used his abilities to construct what he was most familiar with - a gun, and then fired a signal flare into the sky.The signal flares were extremely bright in mid-air, but they fell quickly; when more than a dozen signal flares were fired together, the scene was somewhat similar to simple fireworks, and fireworks are one of the few entertainments in the last days.

Lu Xingzhao couldn't see Huai Lin's face clearly, but he knew he was watching, and that was enough.

Lu Xingzhao slowly put the piece of chocolate into his mouth, and tasted its slowly melting sweetness with the coating of his tongue.

He slowly imagined: Will Huailin live in the safest place of base S, will he be as carefree as before?He is still making chocolates by hand. Does he feel happy or bored?

Maybe Huailin is watching the fireworks while stirring the chocolate sauce?

This kind of imagination was sweet and bitter, Lu Xingzhao swallowed it all, and finally turned over and fell down the city wall.

During the following day, Lu Xingzhao wandered around the periphery of the Judgment Cult, bringing some things back to see Huai Lin from time to time.

He first killed the congregants who were misbehaving on the outside, and then killed the middle-level people who were sent by the church to spread the teachings. He quickly found their headquarters by following the clues. Taking advantage of a certain meeting, he shot and killed an apostle thousands of miles away.

His eyesight could no longer see that far, but his killing intent seemed even more terrifying.Somewhere, he had a very wonderful premonition, as if the flight paths of all arrows and birds were so clearly visible and within easy reach.

He almost sniped the headquarters of the Trial Cult until it was empty!The Trial Cult suffered such a horrific attack that they had to suspend a lot of plans and concentrate on dealing with Lu Xingzhao.

Soon, they called him "Haitongqing", thinking that he was a condor entrenched in this territory, capable of catching and killing their prey anytime and anywhere.

However, "Haitongqing" quickly left again, because he learned new news: there was a change in the S base, Bai Ruan was expelled, and Bai Ruan's direct descendants, including Huai Lin, were also expelled to the wilderness.

It was already another night, and the vast snow covered everything in the world.

Lu Xingzhao spent countless days searching in the snow, scanning every road with his unclear eyesight, searching hard at every transfer station.

Sometimes he saw a corpse in the frozen lake that looked like Huai Lin, and he would take out his saber and cut open the ice layer, and finally confirmed that it was not Huai Lin before continuing on his journey.

Finally, Lu Xingzhao found Huai Lin in a hut in the snow.

Huai Lin was wearing a big fur coat, curled up in the corner of the wall deliriously, and murmured: "Bai Ruan Ruan, don't die... Bai Ruan Ruan..."

Lu Xingzhao could hardly breathe. He walked up to Huai Lin, knelt down on one knee, and reached out to stroke his cold eyebrows, eyes and lips.

In his mind, Huai Lin's appearance finally became clear again.

Lu Xingzhao whispered softly, "Don't be afraid, Huai Lin."

Huai Lin's slack eyes gradually focused on Lu Xingzhao, he couldn't restrain his trembling, and asked in a low voice, "Can you save Bai Ruanruan?"

"...Okay." Lu Xingzhao said, "Huai Lin, I swear I won't make you sad, but I will find a way to get you whatever you want."

But Huailin passed out quickly, and Lu Xingzhao cherished him in his arms, and walked towards the vast snow outside the house.

Soon there were only two rows of deep footprints left on the snow, which were covered by the boundless night again.

Just like Huai Lin picked up the dying Lu Xingzhao on the first day, Lu Xingzhao found his Huai Lin again this night.

The sky turned into an endless abyss, the earth turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the doomsday scene that only existed in myths and legends reappeared before their eyes, but all this was just chaos in Lu Xingzhao's eyes.

Only now, he suddenly found a real existence. For this reality, he needs to go through mountains and rivers, go through fire and water, but that is not enough!He wants to open up the world, to break open a gap full of light in this vast universe!

That light must come as promised, and there is a place for Huailin.

Until then, he will be willing; otherwise, he will die with regret.
