Journey to the Rose

The earth shook again.

When a stone comes down, the mountain body slides, and there will be a second, third, or even countless stones flying down the mountain, and they are the perfect victims selected by the mountain stone.

Right now, they are mountains ahead, and mountains backwards.

There is an open space a little farther away from the mountain, but if there is a slight mistake, it will roll down to a cliff.And if the ground really fissions, it won't be able to escape now.

Lu Zhenghe quickly made a prediction——

They cannot move.

He and Wen Kai had a tacit understanding in such an emergency situation. The two looked at each other, which was self-evident. They had no choice but to stay where they were.

"Be careful in the front row," Wen Kai yelled, "protect your head!"

After he finished shouting, he quickly turned his head and glanced at the car. The armored vehicles of their army were all fine, but some of his vehicles lost their way in the chaos, and rolled off the cliff in the tremor of the ground.Only the traces after the rollover are left, such as half-broken road piles on the side of the road.

"Ruan Xi get down!"

Li Shen grabbed the urinal, quickly hugged his head and crawled under the seat.

Lu Zhenghe first glanced at the extremely calm Ruan Xi through the rearview mirror, then crossed his hands, with his wrists facing inward, and raised his arms to cover his most vulnerable face.

Fortunately, their armored vehicles are thick enough and have enough tonnage.

Ruan Xi clearly felt that the shaking arc of this car was much smaller than that of the previous off-road vehicle, and there was no problem with a fist-sized rock flying down the mountain and hitting the window.

The ground shook violently, and the mountains let out a low roar, like a roar from ancient times.

He and Wen Kai grasped the armrest subconsciously, their upper body could not stabilize, and they almost fell their heads on the back of the seat.

The siren of the armored vehicle sounded, but the interior of the vehicle was completely silent, except for the bright red warning lights flickering frantically.

It's not just a small flying stone, Ruan Xi looked up and panted, and caught a glimpse of a big stone hitting the front windshield——

"Lu Zhenghe!"

He widened his eyes and couldn't help shouting.

Seeing such a big stone falling towards the glass in front of him, Lu Zhenghe shrank his body, but the stone slammed into the glass, and there was a muffled sound in the armored vehicle.

The glass was not broken, leaving only a spider web of cracks.

At this moment, Ruan Xi felt as if his whole body had been pulled out, his shoulders collapsed all of a sudden, and he buried himself in the gap behind Lu Zhenghe's seat to pant.

He even pulled down his mask, panting so hard that his nostrils and mouth were exposed.

His mask has already left a shallow mark on the bridge of his nose, his lips are purple from biting, and the lip lines and teeth marks are dry and about to crack.

Lu Zhenghe raised his head, listening to the slight panting sound coming from behind him.

He could tell that Ruan Xihou was scared.

That fearless Ruan Xi also had something to fear.

Now, his Ruan Xi would also yell in fright from the sudden outside, and curl up his fingers, not only shed tears, but also could not only be able to "who is afraid of whom" nonchalantly.

"Ruan Xi," Lu Zhenghe's breath was a little chaotic. In order to comfort Ruan Xi, he had to release a little rose fragrance, and continued: "It's okay, the armor of this armored vehicle is very thick, and this little rock can't hit us."

Ruan Xi was very frightened by the stone that might kill Lu Zhenghe.

In the legends he read, powerful heroes were always ended by inconspicuous little things.

He turned his head, pinched his own cold palm, tried to calm down, and said in a fierce tone: "It's better."

During the conversation, the shaking of the ground had temporarily stopped.

Dust a few meters high rose up in the night sky, and everything in the mountains was no longer clear, as if covering all the vehicles with a hoarse tent.

"I. Fuck! This came too suddenly, is this an earthquake?" Li Shen hurriedly crawled out from under the front seat, and patted the dust off his body.

"Shh..."

Wen Kai put his finger to his lips and emphasized his tone, "It's not necessarily just an earthquake."

After that, he pointed to his ear again, lengthened the ending sound, and said softly: "Don't talk for now, listen carefully."

The area they were in did not shake, but in the distance, to be precise, it should be shaking in the south.

But the scene was too chaotic, and Wen Kai and Li Shen, who were very familiar with the mountainous terrain here, couldn't tell where the vibration came from.

The two of them looked at each other, frowning tightly, and heard another reason after listening for another ten seconds.

Wen Kai opened the skylight, looked up at the sky, and found that the low-altitude air was still occupied by dust.

Holding the edge of the sunroof of the seat and getting down, he half-kneeled on the soft seat in the back row, and said, "I suspect it's the ground fission, but it's not here."

"Not sure?" Li Shen frowned, "Where's your fission measuring instrument?"

Wen Kai closed his eyes, and the veins on his temples were throbbing: "We are driving now, if we have to react quickly, that won't help. Also, I lost that long ago."

Li Shen seemed like an outsider: "Ah? When?"

Wen Kai blinked: "A certain embarrassing escape."

Ah, it's hard to guess.Li Shen rolled his eyes.

When is it not embarrassing?

The reason is that he has forgotten when he lost it while playing. He lost so many things along the way, especially when they were in Glacie City. Their early speed should have already reached the top of the snow mountain!

"Young master, it's not too late."

Wen Kai was too lazy to talk to Li Shen carefully, turned his head to look at Lu Zhenghe, and continued: "We should hurry to War City. You see, there are quite a lot of private cars of ordinary residents on this road, and they all follow the military vehicles. We can't stay here .”

"Go down the mountain first," Lu Zhenghe said, "go to that clearing."

·

The open space of Lu Zhenghe is War City.

war means war.

In fact, this place was not called this unlucky name, but a long, long time ago, a battle that almost destroyed the entire land started. In this mountainous area in the north, blood and gunpowder smoke replaced everything.

A glorious and prosperous town was once destroyed by the war, leaving dilapidated traces, ruins everywhere the eyes pass, and there is almost no possibility of reconstruction.

The people who used to grow here, in order to redevelop this once sacred land, rebuilt the city on the ruins, but the process was too difficult, hundreds of vicissitudes, and traces of war can still be seen everywhere.

The rain has not stopped, the patter is not heavy, but it seems to be endless.

To be precise, what fell in the sky was more like sleet, cold and damp, and the mountains were tightly wrapped by night.

Some of the roads down the mountain have been cut off by flying rocks, but fortunately their car is an armored car, so they can barely pass.

Lu Zhenghe ordered the troops to stop the car on the side of the road and cleared all the flying stone roadblocks that could be cleared.

In order to avoid confusion with the residents and fugitives, Lu Zhenghe ordered all his subordinates to park the armored vehicles a little farther away from the temporary gathering area, just like Uranus City, ordinary people respect them and stay away from them, and they also move the danger far away Yes, without disturbing each other.

In order to facilitate temporary response, Wen Kai suggested not to set up a tent, and try not to get out of the car. Rest in the car when you get enough sleep. After getting enough sleep, you still have to hurry up at dawn.

Now it doesn't matter whether Wei Hong is Wei Hong or not, the problem is to ensure that the ground under your feet can be firmly trampled.

The army drove into War City with armored vehicles, and the protected ruins and armored vehicles looked extremely harmonious, although those buildings were already fragmented and even covered with a thin layer of snow.

The snow and dust are mixed together, it looks very messy, it is wet, and there is dark green moss under the snow.

The surface of the building still has bullet marks, the eternal damage left by war on objects.

Even such a hard object will have traces, let alone a living person?

He thought again that his own village, that is, the city of Ablaze, had also been turned into ruins.

They continue to set off and march, but they are just going from one ruin to another.

Six armored vehicles drove slowly through the crowd gathering place.

Ruan Xi buried her head very low, her skin became fairer after not going out much for a long time.

Half of his face was hidden under the mask, not even his eyes were exposed, and both eyes were completely blocked by the goggles with purple-blue film.

After the crowd's inquisitive eyes faded away, Ruan Xi raised her head a little and looked out the window with some longing.

Lu Zhenghe has been replaced by Wen Kai to sit in the back row.

Seeing that Ruan Xi has developed a habit of being so careful with the outside world, he felt a little distressed, "We're in the north now, so don't be too careful. Come as you like?"

"It's okay." Ruan Xi shook his hand, pretending to be relaxed: "What if someone still catches me?"

"No one dares."

"Your brother."

"He can't catch him." Lu Zhenghe's eyes darkened, and he didn't explain too much, "I've passed, and I will always be by your side."

"What if I didn't turn the hourglass upside down?"

"Then just say my name in your heart."

"You..." Ruan Xi punched him, "Why do you believe in these metaphysics so much now?"

Lu Zhenghe raised his chin, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a rare flutter between his brows these days: "Because we are a perfect match."

"Fart you." Ruan Xi hummed, without denying it.

When they arrived at the army's temporary campsite, Ruan Xicai opened the door and jumped out, preparing to stretch his muscles.

Sitting in the car all these days without driving, Ruan Xi's legs were going weak, and she almost forgot how to walk.

He turned his head and saw that most of them were similar to him, doing some weird stretching exercises on the spot.

Ruan Xi raised her head, gently smelling the strange air around her.

He originally thought that the air in War City was full of sex, but it wasn't.

Compared with professionals in the army, Ruan Xi's senses are a little duller, but he found that he clearly felt a familiar smell in the rain——the fishy and salty smell of sea water.

He grew up by the sea, and he is very familiar with this smell.

He frowned, and suddenly understood what this smell meant.

He turned his head to look at the armored car he was riding in, and saw a telescope on Li Shen's shoulder, while Wen Kai was looking at the sky through the telescope behind him.

This is not an astronomical telescope, just an ordinary magnification lens, but it is also enough for Wen Kai to see some twinkling stars.

The rain was dribbling and fine, and Li Shen kept wiping the wet lens with a rag.

"Wen Kai," Ruan Xi ran over, his bangs were blown against his forehead by the cold wind, "I smell a sea breeze."

"Sea breeze?" Wen Kai repeated his words, "You think there might be sea water nearby?"

"Yeah." Ruan Xi nodded firmly.This time he wanted a predictor.

"I saw the Aquarius guarded by the city of Uranus (Uranus) fall..." Wen Kai hesitated, "The few stars that can be connected to form the pattern of Aquarius are gone."

Ruan Xi frowned, "What do you mean..."

"Yes," Wen Kai nodded, "The city may have collapsed."
