Almost at the moment when the power grid was broken, the city gate was knocked open by a manic bull alien.
Using their bodies as shields, countless aliens cleared the way and rushed into the city to fight.
Gorgeous flowers climbed up the city walls, killing soldiers in the blink of an eye, and a sea of flowers swarmed into the city, plundering the land and hunting humans.
Birds all over the sky swooped in. Bai Shu heard the call for help, stuffed bullets into his revolver and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
Ning Zhi and the others were already waiting for the others to run back.
Avril is still at home.
The train will inevitably start early to send people away safely.
Now as many people can walk as they can, and they can survive by escaping from the Second City!
Countless gunshots rang out, and all the hunters stationed in the Second City took up their weapons and ran out of their homes. The unarmed ones screamed and fled under their cover.
boom! Bang bang!
Bai Shu rescued the besieged woman and was stunned for a moment when they looked at each other: "Is it you?"
The woman holding her sister in her arms was still crying. She looked up and saw Bai Zhu's face was unfamiliar, but when she saw the gun and body shape, she remembered who it was.
"Yes, it's you."
Bai Shu: "Didn't you leave?"
This person was the cheongsam girl she met in the red light district.
"I'm leaving today and I've already bought a ticket."
"Okay, take your sister to the platform...wait, what's your name?"
Cheongsam girl: "Lin Ping."
"Ms. Lin, I have something to ask of you." Bai Shu threw the revolver to her, "Get to the platform alive. I will ask you to take care of someone for me in the future."
Bai Shu didn't explain much, took out the [Stinger], installed the missile and ran towards the small building.
Avril is still there.
But before he reached the red light district, he heard Ning Zhi’s sad roar:
"Fat man!"
…
The alien siege was so fast that it was unimaginable that Ning Zhi was trapped in it.
"Wait, fat man, what are you doing? You can't drink!"
Feng Jinyun screamed, but the injured Fatty Liu gritted his teeth and broke free from the shackles, crushed the blue-purple potion in his hand, and drank it with the glass shards in one gulp.
Ning Zhi was thinking of a way when suddenly something jumped behind her and pulled her out of the encirclement, gently throwing her backwards.
Ning Zhi took two steps back and stood still. When she saw the person clearly, her pupils shrank and her voice trembled: "...Fat man?"
The monster, whose body was purple and swollen, could not be seen as human, but it roared and rushed forward.
"Fat man!"
Ning Zhi screamed, and the endless aliens rushed into the fog again. Ning Zhi gritted his teeth, loaded his gun, and fought again.
Feng Jinyun tightened his lips and carried the stunned Avril downstairs.
He almost heard the screams together with Baizhu running on the road.
The aliens were swept away, and the door was temporarily safe. The deformed humanoid monster gasped and fell to its knees.
[Alice], the first version of the pollution fusion potion.
If you take it when you are exposed to pollution and have been injured, the first two minutes can ensure clarity and gain strength.
After the statute of limitations expired, he died suddenly.
"Fat man, fat man, wake up..."
It was... Boss Ning's voice.
Fatty Liu tried his best to open his eyes and vaguely saw the crying Ning Zhi.
Is Boss Ning crying for me? Not worth it.
Although he was timid sometimes, he drank the stuff voluntarily.
Fatty Liu tried his best to speak out: "Boss Ning..."
[Are you from the northern base? In this case, just work with me. My name is Ning Zhi. You can call me Boss Ning. 】
[How come there is no name? Just call him fat? Well, as long as you are under my hand for one day, I will protect you for one day. 】
[A fat grasshopper is looking up at the stars in the grass. No matter how hard he tries, he can only jump a little higher. 】
It was a whirlwind of a whirlwind, and in the end there was only one inspiring sentence left.
——If you don’t express your feelings, will you regret it?
"Boss Ning," Fatty Liu opened his mouth, like an old bellows with holes, and his voice died with the flowing blood, "I..."
Me what?
The voice dispersed, and he never had a chance to finish his sentence.
With her arms hanging down weakly, Ning Zhi collapsed and cried. Feng Jinyun moved forward and covered her mouth to hold back the cry.
"Brother Liu!" Avril, who was holding the doll in her arms, was stunned. As soon as she stepped out, there was a sound of wind behind her.
"Avril, stay away!"
Feng Jinyun was alert, jumped back to hug Avril, and turned around to block the alien's claws that were charging towards her.
The blood was warm, and Avril opened her eyes wide.
The pollution spread along the bursting heart, but Feng Jinyun's eyes lost the light as he breathed, and he just pushed Avril further away.
"No! Sister Yun, no!"
Ning Zhi picked her up and ran. When she turned around, she saw Feng Jinyun's kneeling body with her internal organs being eaten by aliens.
He fell to the ground helplessly.
Ning Zhi closed her eyes hard, tears streaming down her cheeks, and when she opened them again, it was clear.
Must retreat.
Otherwise they will all die here!
"Sister Ning!"
Baizhu dragged the [Poison Stinger], and when he saw Ning Zhi covered in blood and Avril collapsed and cried, his heart sank to the bottom:
"Sister Yun and Brother Liu..."
"If you live, we will live." Ning Zhi handed Avril in her arms to Baizhu, holding back her tears, "I know you are not simple, good boy, help me take care of her, and take care of yourself."
She reached out and finally touched the heads of Baizhu and Avril.
"Let's go now! Take Avril and go!"
Ning Zhi pushed Baizhu, picked up the [Poison Stinger], turned around and rushed back, aiming at the leader of the alien and firing.
"No! Don't leave me! Sister! Sister..."
Bai Shu hugged the crying Avril tightly, took two steps back, turned around and rushed towards the safe rear.
Despair engulfed the earth.
Bai Shu took one last look around the corner.
Ning Zhi was still wearing that red dress, submerged in the heavy fog.
The aliens are rampant, sharing food and enjoying themselves.
…
There was a surging crowd outside the platform. Guards with guns shouted for order and fired warning shots before the crowd became quiet.
Baizhu and his sisters and Lin Ping entered the station and waited.
Avril hugged the doll tightly, and when she was tired of crying, she leaned on Baizhu's shoulder and sobbed silently.
Lin Ping didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only sit aside.
"Three days..."
Bai Zhu covered his face and laughed softly, but it was full of bitterness and ridicule.
In less than three days, the second city fell.
There were too few things she could do, and she suffered a severe blow within a few days of her return, and once again realized the bloody truth——
Human beings are so small.
One day there will be no retreat, and someone must keep moving forward to dig out the hope buried in the abyss.
Anyone can retreat, but Atractylodes cannot retreat.
If she leaves, history will only repeat itself.
【I will look for you. 】
Baizhu used the bracelet to send a message to Bai Lingyu.
The army will be stationed until the last moment. According to Bai Lingyu's character, he will not stay in the safety of the iron wall, but will be on the front line.
Bai Lingyu didn't answer, but just turned on the shared positioning.
Bai Shu understood and calmed down again.
The carriage was so crowded and the standing tickets were full. Baizhu sent Avril to her seat and looked at the following sisters Lin Ping.
"I'm going to do something."
Bai Shu didn't sit down, and whispered in the crowd, heading for the exit.
"You have to come back, Xiao Shu."
Avril felt uneasy and grabbed Bai Zhu's hand that was about to leave. The other hand hugged the doll tightly in fear: "I need you, I really need you, please."
"I know." But the rear is the safest.
Bai Shu held Avril's hand and gently pulled it down: "I'm going to do something and I'll be back - take care of her."
She looked at Lin Ping, thrust the anonymous card into her palm as she passed by, and left under the other person's understanding gaze.
There is enough money in that anonymous card to enable Avril to live a very good life even in a city.
At least materially yes.
Everyone was squeezing in, and Bai Shu's movement when he got out of the car seemed so abrupt, but no one paid attention.
There is no one behind the platform. If you step back further, even the hustle and bustle will disappear.
The world is pale, and the fog is so terrifying, as if it is drowning out life.
Bai Zhu couldn't see the way forward clearly, nor could he see any light.
Fear and fear are useless. She must finally pick up guns and cannons and move forward, leaving the stable rear and striding forward, facing the most dripping blood and despair, so that she can seize the ethereal future.
Baizhu has been like this many times, walking into the haze alone, no one can stop him, but suddenly a thought arises, he turns back and looks at the train that is about to leave.
——Someone is still waiting for her.
Avril seemed to feel something and looked back out of the train window.
The distant fog blurred Baizhu's eyes, but they still seemed to look at each other. The warm light reflected in the car just fell on the face of the person next to the window, like a thin veil, separating them from the deep fog. .
The dreamlike beauty was only real for a moment. As the thickening fog curtain dispersed, all I could remember was the white porcelain jade color under the interplay of light and shadow. The child's eyes were innocent and bright, full of dew and rain.
There was no one around her anymore, and the rest of her life was filled with the dampness of the loss of her loved ones. Her body stood thin amid the aftershocks of sadness and fear.
Baizhu shouldn't leave, but he must.
The train sounded a siren.
Bai Shu closed his eyes, walked away, and started running in the heavy fog.
The train started moving, just getting further and further away from her. She was alone in the heavy fog, and even her ears and eyes gradually became dull. It was like a heartbreaking dream that had been shattered and buzzed endlessly.
Just this one glance.
We didn't see each other again for several years.
I don’t dare to write something too sad. If it’s too bloody, it will be banned.
