Rise and Fall of Rebirth

"There's a gas station up ahead, we have to stop and fill up, or we won't be able to stick to Alappa."

"Why do I see that the front is empty, is there anyone in the gas station?"

"Isn't no one better, just fill up the gas."

"I don't know if there is food at the gas station. I'm so hungry. I've never been hungry for such a long time."

"Me too."

"Even a piece of dry bread would do."

"Your requirements are really low. I miss the steak and red wine last night. The small cakes on the table are also good. It's a pity that I didn't eat more at that time. If I have the opportunity, I must have a big meal." .”

"I miss Lincheng's noodle soup."

"Hey, don't you know that you can't talk about food at this time, the more you talk, the hungrier you get."

……

After Liang Qi'an received the call from Igor Valery, the atmosphere in the carriage gradually eased, at least not everyone expressed their uncomfortable emotions on their faces, and some of them who had a cheerful personality even made jokes.

Although they were inevitably affected by the dust generated by the explosion along the way, the group of people gradually calmed down.

They discussed the edible food enthusiastically, observed the terrain from time to time, and compared it with the map in their hands.

Liang Qi'an was still the same, he lay on Jian Boyin's back seat, chatting with Jian Boyin casually, to prevent him from falling asleep during the long journey.

Jian Boyin had to hold on for another hour before arriving at their scheduled rotation time, when Captain Wang would drive after he had rested. This arrangement was slowly discussed during their journey to Arapa.There are many things to be resolved along the way, but they are already calm compared to many fleeing teams.

"It seems that they have adapted quite well. That's why human potential needs to be squeezed. Until the moment of crisis, you will never know how much potential you have. You see, their condition is much better now." Liang Qi'an said in a low voice.

Jian Boyin glanced at him: "You seem to be very experienced." You can handle this kind of time with ease, and it is not much different from the few real soldiers next to you.

"Really, no one is so big enough to go to the battlefield environment to experience himself. I use my brain and not a gun." Liang Qi'an still held the gun when he said this, "But to be honest, this Only when you have a gun can you feel safe." He laughed, and patted the barrel of the gun that he despised before.

"It seems that your certification exam in New York was not in vain." Jian Baiyin smiled, joking about what Liang Qi'an had emphasized many times before.

"Target shooting is different from pointing a gun at a person, and it's also different from playing a shooting game. Captain Wang has more say in this aspect." Liang Qi'an said with a smile.

Captain Wang coughed, stared at the gas station in front of him and said nothing.

"Mr. Liang, stop whispering to Mr. Jane, they are all listening." He Li who was beside Liang Qi'an whispered to him.

Liang Qi'an raised his eyebrows: "Boss Jane is a top-notch driver, so you won't be affected."

He Li laughed, embarrassed to tell him the truth.

They drove the car to a stop more than 100 meters away from the gas station, and captain Wang took Sui Fengping out of the car.

"There seems to be someone in the convenience store at the gas station." Sui Fengping whispered to Captain Wang.

"It doesn't seem like it's true." Captain Wang heightened his vigilance, and he quickly surveyed the surrounding environment, "Let's go and have a look first, this gas station seems to have been ransacked.

"Give me the walkie-talkie." In the off-road vehicle, Liang Qi'an said to the young man in the same car who was holding a communicator.

"Mr. Liang, it's our job to maintain everyone's safety." The young man met his eyes and hesitated a few times, "But the communicator can be used by you temporarily."

"Good boy." Liang Qi'an took the communicator in his hands, and the young man blushed immediately, speechless.

"I'll get out of the car to take a look." Jian Boyin opened the door, "I'll go with Captain Wang and the others, you wait in the car."

Wang Quan and the others have subconsciously obeyed Jian Baiyin's orders, and Liang Qi'an did not stop him.

"Just go forward, I will cover you from behind, be careful." Liang Qi'an instructed, he and Jian Boyin looked at each other and nodded.

Jian Boyin followed Captain Wang and Sui Fengping. They were very careful, always paying attention to the movement around them.Guns are not banned in Uno, and there are not a few civilians who have homemade guns. Now is an extraordinary time, and the whole Uno is full of soldiers. If they rushed to the gas station rashly, it might cause the locals to overreact.

If there are really local staff in the gas station, the best situation is to negotiate a satisfactory result.

The people in the car watched them walk to the gas center, and there was indeed a figure passing by in the convenience store. Through the glass door of the gas station, you could clearly see the messy traces inside.

"There are people inside!" The people in the car kept staring at Captain Wang and the others, and the gunmen in the second car had already put their muzzles on the windows to prepare.

"Huh? How did they get in?" Wang Quan asked in surprise.

Jian Boyin seemed to have said a few words to Captain Wang, then passed him and Sui Fengping, and opened the glass door first. He walked into the gas station empty-handed, and then Captain Wang and Sui Fengping followed him in.

Everyone in the car stared in that direction nervously, no one spoke, only the sound of quiet breathing.

A few minutes later, Captain Wang's voice came from the communicator.

"Boss Jane has finished negotiating with the other party, we can go into the station to refuel."

"Great!" He Li grabbed her coat and said excitedly, and the others also cheered up.

"Okay, let's drive there." Liang Qi'an said, but his eyes were still fixed on the glass door in the distance, and he was slightly relieved until the three of Jian Boyin and two locals came out of it together.

The young man in the off-road vehicle had already moved to the driver's seat in advance. After contacting the second car, the two cars drove into the gas station one after the other.

They each occupy a lane and start refueling at the same time.

The person in charge of the gas station, Vanessa, is a strong Uno woman. When the gas station was ransacked, she and several employees hid in the gas station. Fortunately, the people who ransacked them only focused on looting and did not shoot. Hurting people, they escaped unharmed.

After finally having some time to relax, the people in the car got off one after another, some ran to the bathroom, some went to the gas station staff to buy water and things, Liang Qian also took advantage of the gap to get out of the car to breathe, he Standing by the car and wanting to touch a cigarette, he found only a bag of candies out of empty pockets. He was startled for a moment and then laughed to himself.

Almost forgot to promise Jian Boyin to quit smoking.

Vanessa, the person in charge of the gas station, stood on the other side and talked with Jian Boyin in local dialect. From time to time, he gestured to the inside of the car. Jian Boyin occasionally nodded and then looked at the lounge of the gas station. Jian Boyin's familiarity with Uno was indeed unexpected, at least Conversation without barriers is not possible for everyone.

Liang Qi'an, who was in a trance, felt his trouser legs being pulled, he lowered his head, met a pair of clear and moving eyes, and at some point the little brown-haired girl who ran to his side was gently tugging at his trousers.

The little girl looked like five or six years old, her face was flushed, she tried her best to raise the mineral water to him, Liang Qian quickly reached out to take it.

"Is it for me?" This should be the daughter of the gas station worker who came to help deliver the water.

The little girl couldn't understand English, so she just smiled sweetly, a little shy, and couldn't help but secretly glanced at him.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Liang Qi'an smiled at him, stroked her soft hair again, the little girl glanced at him, then turned and ran away without looking back.

Liang Qi'an couldn't help laughing. Could it be that he was scary just now?

He Li, who happened to come over, saw this scene and couldn't help joking: "Mr. Liang, your charm doesn't seem to be very good on the little girl? Look, you scared the little girl away." In this environment, originally He Li, who was holding it, also began to release her nature.

Liang Qi'an raised his eyebrows: "Hurry up and eat your food, be careful that you will cry from hunger after a while."

He Li took a bite of the bread: "Well, it's a pity that the types of food in the gas station are too simple."

"It's good enough to eat, why don't you choose?"

He Li nodded: "You're right. When I get back to China, I'll eat a lot and stop wasting food. Hey, she came out again?" He Li looked behind him.

Liang Qian turned his head, and the little girl who had just run away really ran out again. She was running in small steps, still holding a few bags of things in her arms. In front of Holly.

The little girl looked at Liang Qi'an, and then at He Li.

Obviously he didn't understand why there was another person beside Liang Qi'an when he turned around.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and gave He Li a bag of biscuits in her arms.

He Li was flattered and quickly took the biscuits.

"Thank you, your name is Sharapova. Thank you for bringing us water just now." He Li also used English, and the little girl didn't understand and didn't care too much. After giving her the biscuits, she ignored her. He moved in front of Liang Qi'an, blinked, and pushed all the remaining things into Liang Qi'an's arms.

"Give it to me?" Liang Qi'an looked at her in surprise, the little girl seemed to understand what he meant, she nodded with a smile, her eyes bent into small crescent moons.

Liang Qian knelt down and took what she gave.

"Thank you." Liang Qian patted her head, thought for a while, then took out candy from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is for you, and you accept it too. This is candy, sweet and delicious." Liang Qian While talking and making gestures.

The little girl didn't understand, but she seemed very happy. She took the candy from Liang Qi'an, put it in her pocket, and whispered something. Liang Qi'an guessed it was something like thank you.

He Li sharp-eyed saw that Sharapova gave Liang Qi'an a package of sausages, and immediately swallowed her saliva, and immediately became envious: "My God, this is so unfair, this world of masculinity, this world of looking at faces Even such a young girl can't escape." She looked at Liang Qi'an again, and sighed, "Mr. Liang, just pretend that I didn't say those words before, as expected, a good-looking face is more popular everywhere."

Sharapova looked suspiciously at He Li, who was thinking about it, then turned to Liang Qi'an and smiled sweetly at him. Her eyes were smart and beautiful, like two transparent springs. She approached Liang Qi'an slightly, gestured for him to come closer .

Liang Qi'an smiled, and leaned over to listen to her whisper.

Sharapova tilted her head, smiled slyly, leaned forward, and mischievously planted a kiss on his face. The kiss was broken at the touch of a finger. After the kiss, the little girl was a little smug, and then turned around with a blushing face. ran away.

Liang Qian laughed loudly.

The little girl who ran to the convenience store was still hiding in the glass door and peeking here.

He Li looked at all this in surprise, covered her face suddenly, and sighed: "I'm convinced, I'm really convinced."

The commotion on one side obviously caught the attention of the other side, Jian Baiyin and the others also looked this way, Liang Qian happily blew a kiss to him, the others were all taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, the atmosphere of the gas station seemed to be It's not like he's running away.

"Sharapova is the daughter of Vanessa, who is in charge of the gas station. I just heard Captain Wang say that the gas station is only willing to sell us some bread, biscuits and mineral water. I didn't expect Sharapova to give you sausages." He Li stood aside He gnawed on the bread and sighed, "She is so cute, like a little angel. It would be great if I have such a cute daughter in the future."

"Live if you want."

"Then we need to find an outstanding man." He Li sighed, then suddenly remembered, "Did we pay for these things?"

Liang Qi'an said: "Let President Jane give the money to her mother later."

He Li echoed on the side: "Indeed, we can't take advantage of them, but things like sausages must be paid at this time and they are unwilling to buy them. Sharapova is willing to give it to you. She likes you, Vanessa. Sha shouldn't have any objections."

Liang Qi'an nodded: "Do you have a pen and paper?" He asked He Li.

"I'll borrow it from the person at the gas station." He Li turned around and went to the person at the gas station, and got him a pen and a small notebook.

"Thank you." Liang Qi'an took a pen and paper, squatted aside and began to draw casually.

He Li looked beside him curiously. Under her gaze, Liang Qi'an's stick figure quickly took shape.

"What do you think?" He asked Holly holding a notebook.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liang to have such a trick. It's so powerful." He Li stared at him.

"I haven't drawn for a long time, my hands are raw, some gadgets are okay, but more complicated ones can't be helped." In this regard, Liang Qi'an was rare and modest. He handed the stick figure cartoon to He Li, "You go and get it to Sha Baby, it's my thank you to the little girl."

He Li nodded: "Why don't you give it to her yourself, the little girl likes you very much."

Liang Qi'an blinked, and he nodded his cheek: "Although she is very small, a family like me should avoid suspicion."

He Li laughed loudly: "Okay, I'll go and give it to her." She trotted into the convenience store of the gas station, gave the little girl the little book with the villain's drawing on it, and finally met the little girl with a sweet kiss. kiss.

After replenishing food and fuel, Qixing's convoy is finally about to set off again.

Sharapova stood beside his mother Vanessa, holding a small book with villain paintings, and waved to Liang Qi'an with a look of reluctance.

"Hey, little girl will be in trouble in the future. We just met and picked the most beautiful person." He Li was joking while sitting in the car chewing biscuits and drinking mineral water.

"I'll see her again when I have a chance." Liang Qi'an said.

"Like the drawing in your little book?" He Li asked with interest.

Liang Qi'an's stick figure was drawn by He Li, and He Li also saw the English written on it.

"En." Liang Qi'an hid the gun by the seat, leaned out and waved to the little girl.

"Goodbye," he said gently.

Vanessa also smiled softly and whispered something to Sharapova.

She hugged Sharapova, and finally when the car started, Sharapova whispered goodbye to Liang Qian in English.

"Goodbye, Sawa."

The two cars drove out of the gas station, the weeds swayed on both sides, and the car was speeding on the road with no end in sight.

Vanessa's friendliness obviously made a group of men who were in a foreign country and were suddenly war-torn grateful.

"Why don't they leave the gas station? In fact, if they want to leave, they can go with us. Although the gas station is not the city center of Kunsai, it is not safe after all. Haven't they been ransacked once before?"

"That is their home, where can they go if they leave there?"

"Is there any safe place in the whole Uno? Even if they go to Arapa with us, they can only stay there. We can leave Uno and return to the country, but they can't. Arapa can't be safe forever .”

"Boss Jane also asked them just now. Vanessa and the others are not willing to leave. Vanessa's mother and daughter have no relatives. They usually live in the gas station. The gas station is their home, and the other employees of the gas station only go to work on weekends. Going home, now that there is war and traffic is cut off, there is no way for them to go back."

The people in the car sighed, the consequences of the war were unbearable for many people.

Liang Qi'an put the sausage that Sharapova gave him into the backpack bought by Jian Boyin.

"I will give you my rations. As a reward for protecting them, I can share half of them with you."

Jian Baiyin laughed: "Then thank Mr. Liang for taking care of me."

"I heard that you drew a picture for the little girl." Jian Boyin asked him.

"You want it too?" Liang Qi'an asked with a smile.

"If you draw it, of course I will accept it."

"Okay, I'll just draw for you." Liang Qi'an said generously.

Jian Baiyin couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Holly said that Sawa bribed you with a sausage, which seems to be true."

Liang Qi'an nodded: "Yes, I promise her that if I come to Kunsai next time, I will definitely give her the most beautiful wreath."

The next moment, the heat wave hit, the glass shattered, the off-road was swept by the air wave and lost control, and lost its direction on the empty road. All the good promises and wishes were instantly reduced to ashes in the artillery fire.
