After walking out of the door, Ye Ning stood alone in this abandoned and desolate city. The scene around her made her heart feel as cold as ice. High-rise buildings collapsed, leaving only ruins, exuding an aura of decay. The once busy streets are now deserted and an atmosphere of decay and decay hangs in the air.
He was on the first floor of a store. The entire store was covered in broken glass. The merchandise on the shelves had long since rotted away. Only scattered relics were scattered on the ground. The silent streets are filled with weeds and garbage, occupying every corner of the city, as if they are a mockery of the prosperity of the past.
Dust is flying in the wind, and fallen leaves are stained on the streets, carrying memories of past years and silently telling the desolation of the city. There were no pedestrians or vehicles, only the occasional faint whistling sound of distant wind blowing through the ruins.
The sky was gray, dark clouds shrouded the entire city, and no sunlight could penetrate. Lightning occasionally flashed through the clouds, illuminating the ruins for a moment before plunging back into darkness, as if foreshadowing the city's end.
Seeing all this, Ye Ning's heart was heavy and lonely. I felt the sadness and helplessness of the people in this city. But in this desolate scene, I also see a glimmer of hope, hoping that this city can regain its vitality and regain the rhythm of life.
He Yulan followed closely behind Ye Ning, looked up at the sky, and said to Ye Ning very happily: "It's not bad, it won't rain now. But it looks like it will rain soon." .You have to go back quickly. My sister won’t give it away.”
Ye Ning's face was both red at the moment. The blush on the left face was due to the last resistance just now. He Yulan only caressed Ye Ning gently to make Ye Ning wake up and understand the situation. But the attack was really gentle, and Ye Ning's face wasn't very red.
Ye Ning rolled her eyes at He Yulan, wondering how he could still say such sarcastic words so happily. If it really rains and it's not her who gets wet, and you only send it to the door...
"Stop looking at me like that. I didn't make it rain. But it's strange. There is indeed no rain in the weather forecast. I don't know why it rains every day these days." Then, He Yulan touched Ye Ning. He raised his head and said happily: "As for whether it rains or not, it depends on your luck. Wish yourself luck."
Ye Ning wanted to resist when he was suddenly touched on the head, but the opponent was too strong. The redness and swelling on his face told him: If you don't accept it, hold it in!
He Yulan took out her mobile phone, searched out the map of the entire deserted city, and handed it to Ye Ning. At this moment, she said like a hands-off shopkeeper: "Find your destination yourself, I won't send it away. "
Ye Ning took a look at the map. Fortunately, he had seen the location of their supply station while waiting for Lin Jingfeng. If you look around for a while now, you will probably be able to find your target location.
After all, the distance among these ruins is basically a straight line, so finding a building is a piece of cake. After a while, Ye Ning nodded to indicate that he had found the way.
"Then you go back by yourself." As he said that, He Yulan rubbed it, and then gently pinched Ye Ning's face that was reddened by her, like caressing, but also like teasing.
Ye Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly took advantage of the opportunity and set off, not forgetting to explain to prevent herself from being beaten again later: "I'm afraid of rain, so I'm leaving first."
Not long after Ye Ning walked out, a voice called "Wait a moment" came from behind. With the experience last time, Ye Ning did not look back to see He Yulan this time, but continued walking without looking back. If something really happened, He Yulan would tell it directly, and it was not like Ye Ning couldn't hear it. Prevent first-hand harassment.
Seeing Ye Ning's reaction, He Yulan smiled and said loudly: "There is a pig wandering around here in the past few days. If you see it, hide away!"
Ye Ning didn't look back and continued to walk forward. He just waved to show that he understood.
"Shy, well-behaved, and a little bit stubborn. Except for his temper, he is exactly the same as your father." He Yulan looked at Ye Ning's background, smiled sweetly, and stretched out her tongue to lick her lips, "Not bad, I like."
Afterwards, He Yulan immediately turned around and returned home. At this moment, her expression became like that of a little girl again: "I'm starving. It's time to eat something and get down to business."
On the other side, under the dim and cool weather, Ye Ning walked through the ruins, as if he was wandering in a maze that had lost the breath of life. Every step seemed to step on the silence and despair, feeling the slowly dying atmosphere exuded by this city.
Ye Ning was holding the compressed biscuits and mineral water that He Yulan gave him. These seemed to be the only things that He Yulan openly ate at home. Ye Ning had paid attention to He Yulan's home.
Looking at the pressed biscuits and mineral water, Ye Ning's stomach was already growling. Maybe he really was in a coma for two days. He didn't even take a few steps, but he already felt a sense of emptiness in his body.
Ye Ning opened the biscuits and ate them while drinking water to pad his stomach. When I think of He Yulan giving him all the food in her house, maybe the only thing to eat, I still feel a little warm in my heart. While eating and drinking, tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, these are definitely not tears of emotion.
Not long ago, Ye Ning was slapped on one side of her face by Jin Wennan, and He Yulan was slapped on the other side of her face because of her resistance. And at the beginning, Ye Ning's chest was punched hard by He Yulan, and now it still hurts.
Therefore, Ye Ning's expression was twisted and her brows were furrowed. Whenever he chewed this very hard compressed biscuit, the redness and swelling on his cheeks became more obvious, and the pain came like a tide.
Ye Ning carefully bit off a piece of biscuit, but as soon as he chewed it, the pain on his face attacked his nerve endings. He held his breath and tried to endure the pain of being hit by a boulder on his chest, as if all the pain was concentrated at this moment.
The act of chewing food made Ye Ning's cheeks sting like being pricked by needles, so he gently put down the food and pressed his hands on his chest, trying to relieve the pain in his chest. But no matter what, every time he ate, he was accompanied by tearing pain, making him feel helpless and desperate.
He lowered his head, tears of pain flashing in his eyes. Every swallow was like sending fire into his chest, making him feel suffocated and restrained. He felt the stinging pain of the food in his mouth falling into his stomach, as hot as a volcano erupting.
Ye Ning's appetite disappeared due to pain, and every bite of food turned into a sharp knife, piercing into his body, making him feel complete pain. But his stomach growled, reminding him that he needed to eat, and the hunger and pain combined to create a feeling of struggle and confusion. Ye Ning was thus caught in a dilemma.
After walking for about an hour, Ye Ning finally finished the compressed biscuit. It was only as big as a palm, but it took Ye Ning a full hour to eat. It was so painful to swallow.
But fortunately, Ye Ning had been hungry for two days, and now her hungry stomach was a little shrinking. With this piece of compressed biscuit and a bottle of water, I'm almost full and no longer have any pressure.
It's just that along the way, why didn't we encounter any monsters chasing and intercepting us while we were eating and drinking? Ye Ning can be sure that before he is full, his combat power will not be half of its original strength. If a monster suddenly pops out on the road, Ye Ning will even die suddenly on the spot.
"Is it because this is He Yulan's home?" Ye Ning suddenly had an idea. The reason why He Yulan didn't come to send him out was because He Yulan was sure that the area around her house was absolutely safe. There wasn't even a monster, not even a soy sauce passerby.
"Also, if you are bullied by those bounty hunters, wear this brand and tell me your name, no one will dare to touch you!" He Yulan's words echoed in Ye Ning's ears.
Ye Ning took out the name tag that He Yulan handed him from his pocket. It was an off-white breastplate, with a lifelike off-white orchid carved on it, and a little blue raindrops engraved on it, which really corresponded to the homophony of He Yulan's "Yulan".
Looking at this badge, he was thinking about what He Yulan had said to him, and then the way Fengchuan's group dispersed in a hurry, and then he was thinking about the environment where there were no monsters around. Ye Ning had to sigh from the bottom of her heart: "Sister He is really strong!" Even the monsters were frightened by the news and didn't even dare to get close to her.
Ye Ning put it on his badge, but at the same time he began to think about why He Yulan was so strong but so poor. The poor living conditions might be for the convenience of hunting. But why is there not much to eat, drink, and use? This is too expensive and weird.
In Ye Ning's opinion, He Yulan should be at least an S-level master. He Yulan should have captured a lot of A-level monsters. According to the prices that Ye Ning learned about when he was working in Night City, He Yulan should not be in such a tight situation. At the very least, he should not have to worry about food, drink, and medicine.
But why didn’t He Yulan see any medicine at home? She spent it all on herself, and it felt like her pain from being beaten wasn't much better, so where did she spend all her money? That very nice white dress? Or something to eat and drink?
Ye Ning's mind was jumping like this. Just now, he was thinking about He Yulan's money, but now he thought about He Yulan's food and drink.
"Yes, I seem to have eaten up the little food left at He Yulan's house, so what will He Yulan eat?" Ye Ning began to think.
But soon, Ye Ning refuted and scolded herself: "Why did I start worrying about him? Bah, she doesn't know that I care. She caused almost half of the injuries on her body."
Ye Ning shook his head, thinking about this strange thing over and over as he walked towards his destination, hoping that Lin Jingfeng and the others were not too worried.
But it was so strange along the way. This should be outside He Yulan's sphere of influence. Why didn't he see any monsters along the way?
