After listing the two guesses, Xiao Ran stopped talking, as if he wanted to leave time for Lu Yu to think.
After nearly a minute of silence, the young man spoke thoughtfully.
"The first possibility should be relatively small. If Zhang Heng really wanted to trick me rather than save me, he could have done it on the bus. There would be no need to bother with two true and one false news."
"If the first possibility is denied, then it proves that Zhang Heng is not from the future, or that he may be from the future, but he doesn't know what happened to you." Xiao Ran continued.
"Yes, before he communicated with me, he did tentatively mention his identity. The concept of 'traveler' does not seem to be able to accurately describe him."
Lu Yu recalled the scene that night and whispered to himself.
Because Zhang Heng did ask - 'In your era, can't the claims of time-travelers be believed? '
At that time, because Lu Yu didn't trust the other party's identity, he didn't notice anything wrong.
"But what we need to think about has nothing to do with whether Zhang Heng is a time traveler, right? The information he provided is just a reference. In the current environment, if you want to survive, you still have to rely on your own preparations."
After thinking for a while, probably feeling that there was nothing to ponder, Lu Yu raised his head and said.
"No, just the opposite." Xiao Ran shook his head and directly denied it.
"Now it can be basically concluded that Zhang Heng is not a time traveler from the future, but he can provide you with some correct guidance. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?"
Lu Yu looked at Xiao Ran blankly, the confusion in his eyes not diminishing at all.
"It means that Zhang Heng's timeline is different from ours! All developments are similar, but not exactly the same. That's why there are three prophecies clearly given, but only the first two have an effect!"
"So what you're saying is that we don't have to completely follow the information Zhang Heng left?"
Lu Yu thought about it for a long time before he tentatively concluded.
"Almost, but what I want to say is that on the other hand, Zhang Heng from a different timeline may not have left..."
Xiaoran neither affirmed nor denied, and continued.
"Think about it for a moment. If you were Zhang Heng and wanted to protect the dull Lu Yu in a similar but not identical timeline, what would you do?"
"Is it really okay for you to say that I'm stupid in front of me..."
Lu Yu glanced sideways at the little Loli and complained silently in his heart.
However, he continued following the other person's train of thought.
"If I were Zhang Heng, living in a similar but not identical timeline, the safest approach would be to always stay by the target's side to provide protection. If he died accidentally, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"
As a pragmatic pessimist, Lu Yu said this.
"Yes, but judging from the current situation, Zhang Heng is not by your side." Xiaoran said calmly.
"Perhaps it's because of some reason that we can't go on the road, so we need to stay in the dark? We only help when necessary?" Lu Yu guessed.
"You want to say when you escaped from the Blue Moon Garden Community, right?"
"That's right, that door at that time..."
The young man stopped abruptly midway through his words.
Because at this moment Yu Libo had rushed back with his lunch box and was standing at the door hesitantly.
From the look on his face, he seemed to be debating whether to enter the room or not.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in..."
The young man naturally noticed Yu Libo's appearance and greeted him directly.
After hearing Lu Yu's call, Yu Libo finally walked quickly into the room.
"Brother Lu, the meal is here."
Putting the lunch box in his hand by the window, Yu Libo stood up and pretended to leave.
He knew that Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were talking about things.
Yu Libo's intuition told him that due to his relationship with Lu Yu, leaving might be a better choice.
Just when Yu Libo was about to turn around, Lu Yu suddenly spoke and stopped him.
"Is there something going on in the army?"
"No, no... I just want to go outside and get some fresh air..."
Seeing that Lu Yu was calling him, Yu Libo stuttered and was a little incoherent.
"Just stay there if you have nothing to do. You are one of your own."
Lu Yu struggled to put his hands behind his head and said lightly.
"okay……"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Yu Libo was startled at first, but then he lowered his eyes and stood in the corner.
"Where did we just talk?"
No longer looking at Yu Libo, Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued.
"Speaking of the gate."
"Oh, yes, the door. I remember clearly at the time that the door was not opened by me, but shattered from the outside."
"You want to say that the door that trapped us at that time was opened by Zhang Heng?"
Although Yu Libo was present, Xiao Ran seemed not to see the other party and discussed the previous topic with Lu Yu without any scruples.
The girl knew that Yu Libo had been judged as one of her own by Lu Yu.
Since he is one of his own, there is no need to hide it.
"Yes, even if it wasn't opened by Zhang Heng, Kazuya probably has something to do with him." Lu Yu said with great certainty.
"At present, your statement is indeed the most likely, but it also illustrates that due to certain rules, you will probably never be able to meet Zhang Heng, let alone learn from the other party's mouth. Here, I learned what I wanted to know.”
Xiao Ran summed it up simply, a pair of mandarin duck eyes blinking and blinking, really beautiful.
"Well, maybe..."
Lu Yu pondered, seemed to have thought of something, and answered casually.
When I met Zhang Heng by the bus, he seemed to have said something in order to prove his identity.
But Lu Yu is not Xiaoran after all, and he doesn't have that kind of incredible memory.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a clue, so I simply gave up.
The two were silent for a while, and finally Lu Yu spoke again.
"What are you going to do next?"
Now that the two of them are in the Siming Mountain Refuge, their food, clothing, housing and other problems have been solved. As long as they don't go to the outside world or encounter any powerful mutant creatures, their lives are basically not in danger.
Without the immediate problem, Lu Yu felt a little confused.
It's not that he has no goals, it's just that he doesn't know what to do next.
"According to the information given by Zhang Heng, I would like to remind you not to travel far away before December 21, 2022, right?"
Facing Lu Yu's inquiry, Little Loli didn't think for too long and spoke directly.
"Yes, he did leave such a message." Lu Yu nodded in response.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The two were silent for a while, and finally Lu Yu spoke again, "Stay in the shelter for a while?"
"Well, stay in the shelter for a while!" Xiao Ran nodded affirmatively.
Although he had discussed the prophecy issues with Xiao Ran just now, he believed that the information left by Zhang Heng was only of reference value and could not be followed completely.
But it still seems a bit hasty to overthrow it completely.
Whether it is from the perspective of rational thinking or the "cowardly" character of young people.
Xiao Ran and Lu Yu both decided in their hearts that it would be better to stay calm and not get carried away.
Anyway, according to the original plan, the two planned to stay in the Blue Moon Garden Community for a year and a half before going out.
Now that I have no choice but to think of the shelter as the original community.
It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to adjust your state.
Seeing that the conversation between the two seemed to be coming to an end, Yu Libo turned his head and cast a questioning look at the young man.
After receiving a positive reply, he spoke cautiously.
"Brother Lu, do you want me to call Zhang Tiehua and the others over? They should have finished their meal soon..."
"Okay, if they have nothing to do, let's call them together. By the way, Xiaoran, have Xu Xiaoxiao and the others arrived at the Siming Mountain shelter? Let's call them over too..."
Lu Yu nodded in agreement and reached out to take out the lunch box full of food, as if intending to have another portion.
But this time it was just a mouthful, and the young man had a cute tooth mark on his hand.
"Aren't you going to leave some for me? This is my lunch!"
"Damn, you're such a small person. It's okay to eat less. I've been in a coma for a day and a night. You asked me to supplement my nutrition..."
The quiet recovery room became noisy again, giving this slightly lifeless area a little more life...
…
The other end.
A gray business van was driving slowly on the national highway, heading in the completely opposite direction to the Siming Mountain Shelter.
Sitting in the car were the six survivors who had been exiled from the shelter.
After receiving food and water donated by the shelter, the six people were taken to the outer circle by the soldiers.
Although it is said to be an exile, vehicles must still be provided, otherwise walking on foot in this apocalyptic world is no different from surrendering to death.
Huang Bingtian's original intention was not to kill these thorns, he just wanted to use this method to calm the pressure of public opinion in the shelter.
What's more, among these six people, there are two undercover agents sent by the military to keep track of them. They should be equipped with sufficient hardware facilities.
The driver was a middle-aged man with long hair. As the first "hero" among the six survivors who dared to fight with the military, he naturally became the leader of the team.
I saw him driving and saying disapprovingly.
"Brothers, don't worry. After leaving that arbitrary and authoritarian shelter, we can live more carefree and happily!"
"Brother, is everything you said true? Is there really a settlement of survivors twenty kilometers away?"
A thin-looking young man asked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
This person was Zhao Zhiqi, one of the undercover agents sent by the military, who followed the large troops to the Siming Mountain shelter.
Just a day ago, he was a wounded patient whose intestines were taken out by zombies and his consciousness was in a deep coma.
But now, he can move freely and looks no different from a healthy ordinary person...
