Xia Xi fell asleep for a long time in a daze, and woke up again in a biting chill.

The headache felt like it was about to explode, probably a side effect of the drug.

After another half a minute, Xia Xi's thinking gradually picked up.

He remembered being knocked out.That person seemed to be looking for Jing Lan, but he was tied here by accident.

Xia Xi looked around. It looked like a dormitory converted from a warehouse. It was cleaned fairly clean. There were many large cargo boxes piled up around it, as well as bunk beds and bedding. There were more than a dozen people gathered in the warehouse. His two-meter-tall burly man was not among them.

Xia Xi moved her body, only to find that her hands and feet were bound. Because of the long-term lack of blood circulation, she almost lost consciousness. She moved suddenly, like a needle prick, numb and painful.

He was drenched all over, the water was icy and chilled to the bone.If not, he probably wouldn't be able to wake up so quickly.

People around him were all looking at him, and one of them was still holding a bucket in his hand.

"Finally woke up." A red-haired short man walked towards him maliciously: "I'll help you wake up."

Xia Xi felt that someone had kicked her abdomen forcefully, right on her lower abdomen. The pain caused Xia Xi to whimper, and she curled up, feeling a little nauseous.

"Squeak when you're awake, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead." The man seemed about to kick again, but was grabbed by another young man wearing glasses.

"Red hair, stop beating, go and inform brother Peng." The young man with glasses ordered.

"Cut." Hongmao rolled his eyes, and walked out the door unhappily.

"Help him to the chair. It's convenient for me to ask questions." The man with glasses directed the others.

Several people hurriedly put Xia Xi on a chair, and then moved another empty chair opposite.

After a few minutes, Hong Mao led a bald man in, and the sloppy young people in the room immediately stood up straight and shouted in unison, "Brother Peng."

Brother Peng's name is Liu Peng. He has a bald head with a tattoo of a gold necklace. His facial features are very abstract, with three white eyes and a hooked nose. He looks like a villain in a movie.

Liu Peng responded, sat on the opposite chair unceremoniously, took a cigarette from the cigarette case, waited for his younger brother to light it up for him, and took a deep breath, with an expression of enjoyment, as if he had never smoked in his life Like a smoker who smokes.

This made Xia Xi feel a little out of harmony. After all, he was a little boss who didn't know what kind of power he was, so he couldn't even smoke a cigarette in normal times, right?

"My subordinates made some mistakes, and they have already been punished. I know you are not Jing Lan." Liu Peng said straight to the point as soon as he sat down, his tone as if he was very familiar with Jing Lan.

Xia Xi lived with Jing Lan for two years, and she never heard that Jing Lan knew such a number one person.He was thinking about the origin of the other party, when he heard Liu Peng say:

"But you know him anyway, so tell me, what's your relationship with Jing Lan?"

"Unfamiliar." Xia Xi said lightly, leaned back on the chair with her face up, and adjusted herself to a comfortable posture as much as possible. The stomach that was kicked just now was still throbbing and hurting. It probably won't be long. It will turn into a large bruise.

"Snapped!"

Xia Xi was hit on the face suddenly, and it hurt hotly. It was hit by the red-haired young man just now.

"How do you talk to Brother Peng?" Xiao Hongmao reprimanded with righteous indignation, his tone seemed to be mostly for Liu Peng's grievances, but there was a cruel pleasure in his eyes.

Xia Xi has seen this kind of person a lot in the Guangming Church, and he uses various banners for these people, but in fact he just likes to enjoy the pleasure of being condescending and performing violence.But this red hair is especially aimed at him, maybe there are some other reasons.

Xia Xi pressed the tip of her tongue against her cheeks, her round purple eyes narrowed provocatively, full of disdain, like an unruly wild cat.

The red hair was obviously irritated by this look, rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Xia Xi, raised his fist and greeted Xia Xi's face: "Are you looking for death!"

This punch failed to materialize, but Hong Mao was kicked aside by Liu Peng: "I haven't finished my question yet, who is to blame if you knock him out? Mindless things, get away!"

Hong Mao clutched his chest and didn't get up for a long time. The people around him were silent, and no one dared to help him.

It seems that this "Brother Peng" has quite high authority in this place.Xia Xi pondered in her heart.

Brother Peng didn't look at Hongmao again, took another puff of cigarette, and smiled with yellowish brown teeth.Wei Wei leaned closer to Xia Xi, and the unpleasant smoke hit his face: "My target is Jing Lan, if you cooperate, I will naturally not make things difficult for you."

"Don't embarrass me?" Xia Xi sneered, as if he had heard a not-so-funny joke, he tilted his head, and squinted at Brother Peng: "You know that you have recognized the wrong person, you let your people treat me Drugging for no reason, kidnapping, imprisonment, beating, insulting. That's what you said... don't embarrass me?"

"It's just a small fight, don't make it so serious." Liu Peng waved his hand, leaned over to Xia Xi, withdrew his smile, and warned: "Believe me, you don't want to know what real embarrassment is."

"That's unlucky, I'm a soft-bodied person, not a tough one. Kill me if you can." Xia Xi raised his chin generously, with a rather disapproving tone.

He can act like a baby and pretend to cry to Jing Lan because he regards Jing Lan as his family.But facing the group of people in front of him, he didn't even have a good face.

Xia Xi is afraid of pain and death, but even more afraid of living without dignity.Even if the deserted country is destroyed, even if he has left that world and can never go back, he will always be the proudest little prince Xia Xi of the deserted country.

Facing months of torment by the Illuminati Church, he has not given in to a word of softness. He really despises such a few things that are not on the table.

Enraged by his uncooperative attitude, Liu Peng stood up from the chair and poked the burning cigarette on the back of Xia Xi's hand: "Do you think I dare not? Don't think I don't know what you are, You slept at Jing Lan's house, with such a face and those marks on your body, you slept with him, right?"

"So what?" Xia Xi gritted his teeth and gasped in pain. Because of the pain, the end of his eyes were a little red, and a layer of physiological tears welled up in his eyes.He imitated Liu Peng's arrogant tone and stabbed back: "Do you think I can't guess your identities? Isn't it just a group of debt collectors? How much money is missing, can I pay for him?"

"Money?" Brother Peng sneered, as if remembering something, showing fear and loathing expression, sucked in a big gulp, and raised his voice: "He owes my life!"

Then he looked down at Xia Xi again, and mocked, "Are you willing to pay it back for him too?

Owe a life?Xia Xi's arrogant expression froze.

The debt collection statement was just Xia Xi's casual temptation, in order to provoke Liu Peng to reveal his intention to find Jinglan, but when Liu Peng really said it, Xia Xi fell into great doubts.

Jing Lan carries her life on her back?How can this be?

Before waking up in the morning, the Jing Lan Xia Xi knew was just an ordinary young man.After going to college normally, and graduating normally, except for some unpleasant accidents with my family, I am very popular outside.He rarely argues with people, let alone kills.

Xia Xi wondered, in a society ruled by law, where would Jing Lan, a college student who just graduated, go to take his life?

"I have known him for a few years. I understand Jing Lan's character. He has no guts to kill. You said he owed you his life, but you tell me when and who killed you ?”

Xia Xi's attitude was too calm, Liu Peng didn't get the feedback he wanted, and took a puff of cigarette irritably: "Who the hell are you interrogating here?"

Xia Xi raised her eyebrows: "I'm going to die anyway, so I'll ask one more question, can't I be a fool?"

"Okay, I'll tell you." Liu Peng grinned, grinning ferociously, leaning over to Xia Xi's ear, and pointing his thumb at his chest, said in a hoarse voice, "In the future, I will be killed by him."

When Xia Xi heard this sentence, the most direct reaction was: this person's mind is not normal.

Why do you want to say it yourself?Xia Xi froze for a moment, and then remembered Jing Lan who had suddenly lost her memory, changed her personality drastically, and vowed that the end of the world was about to begin.

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Xia Xi's chaotic mind.

"I know you don't believe it, but I do have the ability to predict the future." Liu Peng ordered someone to turn on the TV in the corner.

Xia Xi noticed that the time was already 26:18 on the 40th.Unknowingly, he fell into a coma for a day and a night.

Liu Peng threw the cigarette butt on the ground casually, crushed it with his feet, and walked towards the TV with his hands behind his back, with a somewhat smug expression, as if he had mastered top-secret information: "You should have heard about the plant mutation in Shiyuan City recently. However, the evening news will be in another 10 minutes. An emergency announcement will be temporarily announced in the live news tonight, saying that abnormal plant mutations have begun to appear in large areas around the world. And tomorrow, this mutation will continue to expand, and developed into insects."

As he spoke, he turned back to Xia Xi, leaned over and asked, "Guess what happened in the end?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Xi answered lazily.

Liu Peng's pupils constricted with that careless expression. He leaned close to Xia Xi, stared at his face closely, and said in a sinister tone: "In the end, animals also mutated, including humans. This mutation destroyed Everything, the whole world is in chaos, and the number of dead is far greater than the number of people who survived, no, everyone will die in the end! That is the real end of the world."

Xia Xi's expression was still calm, and there was still a contemptuous mockery in his mouth: "What does that have to do with me? Didn't I have been killed by you before the end of the world began?"

Liu Peng choked for a moment, and then violently pushed Xia Xilian and the chair in front of the TV: "You don't believe it, do you? Seeing is believing, and soon you will understand that what I say is true!"

Xia Xi twitched the corner of his lower lip, but he didn't believe it.The several plant variations that have appeared so far are indeed strange, and even the top botanists cannot explain the reasons for them.

The strange things around are also one after another, first is Jing Lan's sudden amnesia and personality change, and then this person's inexplicable revenge, and what the two have in common is that they both claim that the end of the world is coming.It is not a coincidence that one after another coincidences come together.

Let's not talk about whether they obtained the information of the end of the world through the ability to predict, or some other way that science cannot explain.As long as you believe that the end of the world will really come, then Jing Lan's previous words and deeds can be logically explained.It also made Xia Xi understand why the group of people in front of him dared to kidnap him without scruple.

In the last days, the original order will be broken, the cost of violence and crime will be reduced infinitely, and life will become cheap and fragile.Sometimes, it's not even as good as a loaf of moldy bread.

Xia Xi, who has experienced the war of subjugation, has a deep understanding of this.

But because of this, Xia Xi didn't want to think about the worst possibility, he liked this world quite a lot.He originally thought that this exile made a mistake, and it was God's favor for him. He thought that from now on he would no longer have to be alone.

After waiting for 10 minutes, the late news began.After a while, the emergency announcement that Liu Peng said appeared, and there were a lot of flattering comments around, mostly praising the accuracy of Liu Peng's prophecy, and some people said that in the end of the world, as long as you follow Liu Peng, you might be able to live a better life. It's fine now.

Xia Xi showed some caution in his eyes.

Liu Peng's prediction came true, and his guess finally came true, and everything was developing in the direction he least expected.

Now it seems that Jing Lan is not delusional. The reason why he said that in the morning is because he also knows the future.It's just that this kind of predictive ability may have a price, such as forgetting a person?

A mess of guesses flashed through Xia Xi's mind, but he suppressed them all on his own.It's better to ask Jing Lan face to face when we see Jing Lan again.

"Now do you believe it?" Liu Peng looked at Xia Xi's nervous expression, showing some satisfaction, and said proudly: "I can indeed predict the future, I know that the end is about to begin, Jing Lan will kill me in the future , that’s why I have to act first and kill him.”

Xia Xi raised her eyelids and replied bluntly: "But you didn't catch him, you caught me, and even if you kill me, you can't change your fate."

"Call him immediately and ask him to rescue you." Liu Peng stuffed the phone into Xia Xi's hand: "As long as you can help me trick him, I will let you go."

Xia Xi clicked on the screen, and there were several missed calls on the page, which were from colleagues in the company.As for Jing Lan's phone number, there was none.

"He won't come to save me." Xia Xi said with certainty.Before he left, he called Jing Lan. After such a long time, Jing Lan didn't call back a single call, which showed that he didn't take that call to heart at all, and didn't care about his disappearance at all.

"You have to try." Liu Peng didn't give up so easily. He asked someone to untie Xia Xi's hands, then handed him the mobile phone, and ordered: "Call Jing Lan and turn on the speakerphone. Tell him that you were arrested Tied, in the western suburbs of Lanshu City, let him come and rescue you."
