Yu Huo didn't know why Liu Wusheng trapped him in the dark room. Could it be that he was afraid that Yu Huo would reveal his secret?
Although Yu Huo's hands and feet were tied, he could barely move. He gritted his teeth and groped along the wall, trying to find a way to escape. His fingers traced across the cold wall, making a rustling sound that echoed throughout the whole place. In the room, the already gloomy environment became even more eerie.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then, a beam of light came in. Yu Huo hid nervously in the corner, staring at the door tightly.
Liu Wusheng opened the door, holding a bowl of hot food in his hand. He walked into the room gently, placed the food on the ground in front of Yu Huo, then turned and left.
Yu Huo looked at the bowl of hot food in confusion, and couldn't help but think about Liu Wusheng's true purpose.
Is he trying to trap Yuhuo for a long time? Still want to test him, or want to reveal some information to him?
Yu Huo decided to eat something first and then make plans. He picked up the bowl of hot food and found a note inside. He carefully took out the note, which read: "Leave on your own in three days. Remember Don’t get caught.”
Yu Huo frowned. Is this Liu Wusheng's test or his warning?
Yu Huo was filled with doubts, but at least he knew that in three days, he would have a chance to leave this small dark room.
During these three days, Yu Huo, in addition to exploring the surrounding environment, was also waiting for Liu Wusheng's further actions. However, Liu Wusheng never appeared again. Three days later, Yu Huo quietly left the small town according to the instructions on the note. Dark room.
Yu Huo left the small dark room, but he didn't know that Meicheng at this time had actually fallen into chaos.
Yu Huo stepped into Plum City in the night with uneasiness.
The lights on the street were dim and blurry, and his footsteps echoed in the silent alley. He felt as if he had entered a dream. The atmosphere of Meicheng was different. The familiar and friendly feeling was replaced by a kind of dream. Replaced by an inexplicable emptiness.
He passed by a tavern that was once bustling with activity, but now it was closed and completely silent. The moonlight shone through the windows and cast a shadow of loneliness in the quiet tavern. He couldn't help but stop and try to find the joyful sounds of the past. Laughter, but only heard the empty sound of wind passing through the alley.
A strong uneasiness arose in Yu Huo's heart, and he began to follow the route in his memory to the police station in Meicheng. However, when he arrived there, the originally brightly lit police station had become dark, with only The police badge at the door shone coldly in the moonlight.
Yu Huo's heartbeat accelerated, and he felt an unspeakable fear that was slowly swallowing him up. He decided to go deep into the police station to look for any possible clues.
The door of the police station was gently pushed open with a long sound. Yu Huo's heart tensed instantly. He clenched the silver needle in his hand and stepped into the police station cautiously.
The police station was in a mess, documents were scattered all over the floor, and desks and chairs were overturned. The once majestic police station had turned into a place full of violence and chaos.
Yu Huo stepped on the broken glass and moved forward slowly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for any possible clues.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a black object in the corner. He walked over and found that it was a male corpse. He still held a silver needle tightly in his hand. His eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
Yu Huo's heart was struck by a deep sadness. He knew that Meicheng was no longer the city he was familiar with, but a new world full of dangers and unknowns.
He needs to find answers, find a way out, find safety.
He began to search other areas of the police station, hoping to find some useful information. He found a file in an office drawer that recorded some recent bizarre events.
These incidents included some unexplained disappearances and unusual criminal behavior, and Yu Huo realized that this might be a report on the current situation in Meicheng.
While he was reading the document, he suddenly heard movement outside, his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he quickly hid in a corner.
The door was pushed open, and the light shone into the corner where Yu Huo was. He pressed against the wall tightly, and his heartbeat seemed to ring in his ears. He felt that his breathing became more and more rapid, and his hands were filled with blood. Sweating broke out, and he clenched the silver needle in his hand.
The visitor was a man wearing a police uniform. His face was pale and his eyes were full of fear. He quickly scanned the office as if he was looking for something. When he saw the corner where Yu Huo was hiding, he walked over quickly. His eyes Full of determination.
"Are you a policeman?"
Yu Huo asked, his voice trembling a little.
The man didn't answer. His eyes scanned Yu Huo, and then he suddenly raised the gun in his hand. Yu Huo was shocked. He quickly dodged, and a gunshot echoed in the empty police station.
The man ended his life by pointing at his temple. Yu Huo was shocked by the man's actions. He watched the man fall to the ground, his heart filled with confusion and grief.
Yu Huo knew that Meicheng had completely changed and he needed to find a way out and protect himself.
He found a police badge and a keychain from the man's body. He decided to use this keychain to open some rooms in the police station, hoping to find some useful items and information.
Yu Huo was about to call Liu Tie, but found that the phone had run out of power. He wanted to find a place to charge, but found that there was no working socket because the entire city of Meicheng was without power at this time.
Yu Huo stared at the dark mobile phone screen, anxiously looking for a way out. The city's power outage made the entire city like a silent dark room without a trace of light. He groped forward, hoping to find a place to recharge.
However, every corner of the city was immersed in the same darkness. As he walked along the street, only a few scattered LED flashlights flickered in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.
When he came to a mobile phone store, he found that the store was also dark and the door was closed.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly spotted a vague figure moving in the store. His eyes widened in surprise and he cautiously opened the store door.
The store was filled with a strong smell of gasoline, which made him cough. However, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and he began to be able to identify the items in the store.
The blurry figure turned out to be an old man. He was using a flashlight to illuminate the charging equipment in the store.
Seeing Yu Huo, he showed a friendly smile.
"Do you... need to recharge?"
the old man asked.
Surprised, Yu Huo walked quickly towards the charging device, nodding and thanking the old man. He plugged in the phone and watched it slowly come back to life, and the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided.
While charging, he chatted with the old man about the current situation in Meicheng. The old man told him that the blackout was caused by riots in the city, but the specific cause was still under investigation.
Yu Huo inadvertently noticed that the old man's face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were not filled with despair, but full of hope.
However, at this moment, the phone screen lit up and the battery was restored. Yu Huo looked at the familiar phone number and felt a warm current in his heart.
He looked at the number, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, it was Liu Tie.
Their conversation was brief and urgent. Liu Tie told him that Meicheng had fallen and was about to be sealed off. The safe passage out of the city was only available for two hours, and he was asked to find a way out of the city as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Huo stood blankly in front of the window, looking at the busy streets outside. The red warning lights were flashing in the distance. A deep despair spread in his heart.
He understood that this was his last chance. If he could not leave the city within these two hours, he might be trapped in the city and face an unknown fate.
He looked around the old man and said with some worry: "Thank you for providing the charging equipment. Let's get out of the city quickly. We can't stay in Meicheng anymore."
The old man smiled slightly, with firmness and determination in his eyes, "No, I have lived in Meicheng all my life, and I am used to it here..."
He paused and turned his gaze to the window. He seemed to see the familiar scenery through the thick fog. His eyes were full of nostalgia and he said: "There are so many memories of me here, my family, friends, they Their bones are buried here. Even if Meicheng changes, I can’t leave. I have to guard them..."
Yu Huo looked at the old man, whose face was covered with traces of time, and the worry in his heart turned into respect. The old man's decision was something he couldn't understand, but his determination and persistence made him feel an inexplicable comfort.
It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots. Perhaps this is the persistence that the old man wants to hold on to when he is dying.
The old man looked at the falling leaves outside the window, and his heart was filled with deep nostalgia. No matter how many storms or joys he experienced in his life, he could not do without the land that raised him.
His roots are there, and his heart is there too.
As he lay dying, what he wanted was to hold on to that persistence, that deep love for Meicheng. He wanted to leave this world quietly by his roots, just like those fallen leaves. , returning to their roots.
Yu Huo was deeply moved by his persistence, but Yu Huo couldn't sit still and wait for death. He needed to save himself and leave as soon as possible.
Seeing that the phone was almost charged to 80%, Yu Huo unplugged the phone and was about to leave. However, without thinking about the old man, he stood up and stopped him. He pointed at the mobile energy storage device on the ground and said, "Put this thing in the car." Come on, I hope I can give you some help."
"Keep it for yourself. If you don't have power, it will be a lot of inconvenience."
"It doesn't matter whether I have electricity or not. Just take it and go save the new world."
There was something in the old man's words, and he seemed to realize that Yu Huo was here to save Meicheng, but he did not tell the truth. This made Yu Huo respect the old man again.
Having said that, it would be a bit unkind for Yu Huo to refuse again, so he put the mobile energy storage device on the police car that drove out from Meicheng Police Station and said, "Thank you! I hope you are happy. "
"Wish you a safe journey."
After leaving the mobile phone store, Yu Huo drove a police car. This was his first time driving a police car. The feeling of being so powerful made him feel light. However, this was not the time to be angry. There were dense and swaying cars in front of him. A group of passers-by were approaching him with bared teeth.
Yu Huo suddenly felt that something was wrong. His heartbeat was like a crazy drum, beating his chest rhythmically. He tightly held the steering wheel in his hand, his fingertips were cold but full of strength.
His breath condensed into fine white mist in the cold night. Whenever he breathed in the cold air, his lungs felt like they were being pierced by cold steel needles.
These passers-by are not ordinary passers-by. Their faces have become blurred, and only their eyes without eyes are filled with blood-red anger...
