Chapter 171: Decision
Luo Yuan originally thought that his previous experience was cruel enough, but the facts in front of him gave him a heavy blow.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like in the future?
But he knew that with the continuous erosion of the ocean, countless survivor bases built on the coast will be submerged by seawater, countless people will die silently, and the living environment of the entire human being will become increasingly harsh.
He returned to the fortification in a daze, found a corner, and fell to the ground. His face was confused and a little dazed. He seemed to be thinking, but his mind was blank. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that he was full of excitement and woke up.
Can't wait, have to leave here as soon as possible?
Let's go tomorrow morning
For some reason, he had a bad premonition, and if he didn't leave as soon as possible, it would become extremely dangerous here.
He stood up and began to plunder the "army and fire here."
There were two sniper rifles, eighteen rifles, several boxes of grenades and bullets. Finally, Luo Yuan was lucky enough to find more than a dozen spare combat uniforms in his wardrobe.
The clothes of these soldiers had long been decayed and were already unbearable for use, and these were just right for use.
Luo Yuan whistled and waited quietly at the door for a while. The giant lizard finally came over. It was quite irritable and its nostrils kept sniffing.
Luo Yuan comforted him for a while, and when his mood stabilized, he walked out, cut off a vine, peeled off its bark, and rolled it into several thin ropes. He tried it and it was quite strong. Then he tied several boxes one by one, connected in two, and hung them on the back of the giant lizard.
When Luo Yuan jumped onto the giant lizard, before he could wait for the order, the giant lizard had already taken steps and ran forward like an escape.
The setting sun sets in the west, pulling a long shadow from a man and a beast. Luo Yuan turned around and looked at the broken sea-crossing bridge. Perhaps this would be the last time he saw it.
When he passed by a certain street, his heart moved and suddenly let the giant lizard stop.
He turned over and jumped down, walked to the side of a building, searched carefully, and the blade lifted the vines nearby, revealing a huge rock inside. He pushed hard and moved the huge rock weighing several tons away, revealing a large hole more than one meter high inside.
Then he walked in shorter.
This is a supermarket. Luo Yuan had been here a few days ago, and there was a group of survivors living here. Now there is a situation in the bay. As survivors, Luo Yuan felt it was necessary to remind them to prepare early.
This is the basic morality and the last bottom line that Luo Yuan adheres to.
As for whether to listen or believe it or not, it can only be decided by them. The cruelty of the end of the world has made him look down on life and death. Even an ordinary person will be hardened if he sees too much.
He quickly walked to the fourth floor warehouse where the survivor was located. The iron door that was originally destroyed by Luo Yuan had already been replaced with a new one. I don’t know where it was replaced and removed. He hesitated for a moment, but he still didn’t plan to go in.
He knocked hard on the door.
"Are the person still there?"
Luo Yuan's voice echoed constantly in the empty supermarket, making him look particularly quiet.
"Don't be nervous. If you remember my voice, you should know that I've been here a few days ago," Luo Yuan continued.
After a full ten seconds, this time there was finally a response.
"Damn it, shut up, what are you thinking about? Didn't you take it for the last time? We have nothing left?" a man said in a depressed voice, but his tone was filled with anger and irritability: "You are so loud, you will cause trouble, and everyone will die by then."
"Don't talk to him, he's a disaster star. If he hadn't come in last time, Xiaofeng wouldn't have died. He would have dared to come in and we'll fight him." Another person said excitedly, and then there was a commotion and fierce dispute inside.
"That's because he is looking for death by himself, he is very brave and wants to go out and see what the result is?" said a human.
"It's not his fault. If he hadn't come in and made Xiaofeng think that it was safe outside, would he go out? Everything was caused by him, and he was caused by him." Another person said hoarsely.
"Speak quietly, whisper, are you willing to bring those demons in?" Another person said dissatisfied.
There was a mess inside and quarreling with each other. Obviously they didn't know that it was quite safe outside these days, but even if they knew, they probably wouldn't go out again. They were like a group of frightened birds. The fear of death made them rather crouch in the dark warehouse and eat rotten food every day than go out and take a look.
Luo Yuan suddenly hesitated whether to tell them the cruelty.
Maybe sometimes ignorance is a blessing, but knowing too much is a torture. Or maybe they already know that they won’t live long, but they just deceive themselves. The food problem is just a difficult gate of hell.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Yuan finally didn't say it, just informing him that it was becoming more and more dangerous and that he would leave here tomorrow. If he wanted to go with him, he could go to Lanting Subway Station before 7 o'clock the next morning and leave without looking back.
Sitting on the back of the giant lizard, Luo Yuan sighed, wondering how many people would follow him tomorrow, but he knew very well that the biggest possibility was that there was not one.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Huang Jiahui looked anxious.
She looked at her watch and it was already past five o'clock. She set out since noon, but she hadn't come yet. Nothing happened, right? Then she spat in secret. It was definitely okay. It's hard to find a mutant beast in Jiaping City. In addition, he is so strong that the wind and rain have come. How could there be something wrong?
"It should be coming soon. Maybe it's because of something that has been delayed." Wang Xiaguang advised, but his face didn't look much better.
"Or why I'll go and look for it," Wang Shishi said immediately.
Huang Jiahui hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, it's almost dark."
Zhao Yali didn't say anything next to her, but her hands were pinching the corner of her clothes, making her feel a little restless.
The soldiers are still sleeping soundly and snoring like thunder. In this state, they will not wake up until the next day. After a long period of overdrawing, it is obvious that enough sleep is needed to adjust.
The sky gradually became dark, and the subway station was pitch black and without a trace of light except for the pile of even extinguished ashes nearby.
"Why don't we have dinner first?" Lin Xiaoji squatted on the ground boredly, touching his already croaking stomach, and couldn't help but say.
The food has been prepared for a while. The meat of these mutant beasts is rich in gelatin and will freeze over time. Moreover, the meat becomes hard and has no good teeth and cannot be gnawed.
"If you are too hungry, you can eat first, we are waiting?" Huang Jiahui said softly.
"Then forget it." Lin Xiaojin said aloud. He just made a suggestion. He really didn't dare to let him eat it alone.
I don’t know how long it took, but heavy footsteps gradually came from afar. The sound became clearer and clearer, and the ground began to vibrate slightly. After a while, it arrived nearby and stopped soon.
Huang Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief and stood up
"It's the footsteps of the giant lizard, Brother Luo is back." Wang Shishi said in surprise.
"I'll go to the hot dishes first," Cao Linxi said
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yuan's figure appeared at the subway station.
"Why is it so late?" Huang Jiahui blamed.
"I've delayed something," Luo Yuan said in a deep voice, and then said to Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji: "Don't rush to have a meal first, you two will bring the weapons and ammunition at the door first.
After all, Huang Jiahui was the person next to her pillow, immediately noticed Luo Yuan’s strangeness and said worriedly: “What happened?”
"There is a problem on the cross-sea bridge. The sea surface has risen a lot, and I can't explain it clearly for a while." Luo Yuan said: "But it gives me a very bad feeling. We can't stay here anymore. It's better to leave early than to leave late. We will set out to Shanghai City tomorrow."
"Are you too anxious? Old Huang is not healing yet?" Wang Xiaguang looked at Zhao Yali, who was a little anxious, and said.
"I'm worried that it's too late," Luo Yuan sighed.
Everyone's face changed, and even Luo Yuan said so. Obviously, the situation was already quite serious.
Luo Yuan looked at Zhao Yali who was a little reluctant to speak and said softly: "As for Lao Huang, you don't have to worry. I will feed it with food bricks tonight, and there should be no problem walking tomorrow."
The atmosphere was a bit dull when eating, and everyone was thinking about their worries.
The comfort of these three days has almost forgotten the cruelty and blood outside. When everyone thinks of going through the wind and rain again and having a life hanging by the wind and rain, everyone feels a little depressed.
After everyone finished eating, Zhao Yali silently cleaned up the dishes. In the past few days, except for occasionally saying something to Wang Xiaguang, she has rarely spoken, and always felt that she was a little alienated from them and was out of place.
Luo Yuan looked at her familiar actions and made him return to the rental house before the end of the world.
At that time, she was someone else's fiancée. Every summer, every time she wiped the table, the inadvertent spring leaked, which made his heart beat faster.
Many people think she is spoiled, but that is just a timid. She can clean the room every day, or cook good dishes, and all the housework is clean and orderly.
She was not used to holding a knife and cutting the mutant beast into pieces, nor was she used to shooting and cutting bleeding holes. She was just an ordinary woman, submissive and even with some innocence.
Luo Yuan sighed, and when she quickly wiped the table, he stood up and asked her to come out.
Zhao Yali hesitated for a moment before getting up and following her, and said with a cold face: "What did you let me come out?"
Since that conflict, Luo Yuan hasn't spoken to her for a long time, and he is lukewarm to her. While making her feel sour, she also has a secret hatred in her heart.
"I want to tell you something." Luo Yuan didn't know how to say it. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I just said that the tide has risen across the sea. In fact, the situation is much more serious than what I said before. It has become an endless sea. And you have been to the survivor team before, but there is nowhere to be found. Judging from the rapid intensity of the tide, their situation may not be very good."
Zhao Yali covered her mouth and her face turned pale.
"If you know someone, please feel sorry for me." Luo Yuan comforted him palely.
