Dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is dark and windy.
Under the wall of the Lu family's house, a tall man puffed away a cigarette in his mouth.
The sound of rustling footsteps sounded, and Zhao Yiting turned around and saw a dark shadow approaching.
As the figure approached, he discovered that the person who came was Liu Feng, who was wearing shorts and a vest, with his hair messed up into a bird's nest.
Zhao Yiting was delighted when he saw the other party's appearance: "Why did you come out?"
"Can't sleep." Liu Feng walked to him, leaned against the wall and stretched out his hand: "Here's a cigarette."
Zhao Yiting took out cigarettes and lighters from his jacket pocket and threw them to the opponent skillfully.
Liu Feng folded his hands and lit the cigarette, and the flickering light of the fire reflected on his exhausted face.
The two smoked in silence, and the atmosphere was rarely relaxed in what should have been a tense environment.
Liu Feng smoked more than half of the cigarette on his fingertips, and suddenly asked: "Captain Zhao, how long do you think we can survive?"
Zhao Yiting sneered and said in a nonchalant tone: "Who knows how long I can live, it's better to die than live."
The apocalyptic disaster strikes unexpectedly, and the survivors struggle in the harsh environment.
Not to mention how many zombies there are in the country and around the world, it is estimated that two-thirds of the people in Nanhuai City where they are located have been infected by the virus and mutated into zombies.
Not only that, the animals in the city also mutated, turning into ferocious beasts and attacking humans.
According to the fourth master's previous order to be careful about plants, they reasonably suspected that the plants would also mutate accordingly.
How can human beings survive in such a harsh living environment full of crises?
Life is too hard for everyone.
After Zhao Yiting finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt at his feet and crushed it.
He raised his arms and stretched comfortably, and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, people like us lived on the Lu family's food before the end of the world.
Now, looking at the Lu family's step-by-step planning, I think we won't do too badly in the last days, and our lives can be considered safe.
I heard from the brothers who went to the city with Fourth Master today that they brought back a batch of top-notch equipment, and tomorrow there will be a large official specially-made helicopter that is not for sale to the public. "
If you want to survive in the last days, you must have the ability to protect yourself. Naturally, the more weapons, the better.
Moreover, from the end of the world to now, they have never lacked food and drink. Even the cigarettes they just smoked were given to them by Miss Tianxi.
Life in this world is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having sex. The Lu family has given them a living security, so what else can they ask for.
They are just like before the end of the world, living one day at a time.
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he was indeed comforted.
He hummed a tune in a happy mood, touched his arms that were covered in goosebumps by the cold wind, and teased: "Go back to the house and go to bed. Captain Zhao, just keep feeding the mosquitoes."
Zhao Yiting's response was to raise his middle finger: "Be careful of zombies chewing your brains out in your dreams."
Liu Feng, who had already left, said with a smile: "With Captain Zhao keeping watch, I will have a good sleep tonight."
"roll!"
Zhao Yiting laughed angrily and spat.
*
The next day.
Lu Tianxi woke up to the noise and the harsh honking of heavy vehicles.
"Fourth Master! I don't want to break off the engagement!"
"My dear nephew, considering the past friendship between our two families, you can give Zhuzhu another chance."
"Zhuzhu has been your fiancée for so many years, do you really want to force her to death?"
Among the chaotic and noisy sounds coming from downstairs, there was a sound that made Lu Tianxi feel murderous intent in his heart.
Wearing home clothes that someone changed for her, she opened the bedroom door and came to the stairs on the second floor.
His slender arms rested on the guardrail, his eyes lazily scanning the farce downstairs.
The familiar voice she heard before was indeed not her imagination.
In the huge living room, Lu Shirong was sitting relaxedly leaning on the sofa, with Liu Feng, Yang Xu and other trusted bodyguards guarding the surroundings.
Then there were the Tantai family members standing in the hall, wearing tattered clothes, looking embarrassed, and looking panicked and anxious.
Tan Taizhu, whose face was covered with dirt, knelt at Lu Shirong's feet in a humble posture.
She prayed with tears in her eyes: "Fourth Master, I have been with you for so many years, and you can't do this to me. I won't accept the dissolution of the engagement!"
The slovenly Tantai beads could not hide her pitiful appearance.
It looks very pitiful, and anyone who looks at it will feel protective.
A middle-aged man from the Tantai family, with a smile on his face, said tentatively: "Fourth Master, if you don't like Zhuzhu, there are other girls in our Tantai family. I just ask you to give us a place."
Lu Shirong was sitting on the sofa, wearing a black training uniform. His eyes were coldly glancing at the middle-aged man who spoke, and his whole body was filled with a biting and cold low pressure.
His former gentle and noble temperament has transformed, and he is now filled with restrained domineering, and his unique mature and powerful charm is very charming.
Lu Tianxi couldn't help but admit that she was amazed by such a brother-in-law.
Lu Yiwen appeared out of nowhere, bumped into Lu Tianxi's body with her arm, and said in a low voice: "Look at the ugly faces of those people in the Tantai family. Do they look like they are specially pimping for the fourth uncle?"
The arrogance in her bones and the contempt in her eyes clearly meant that she didn't take Tantai's family seriously.
Lu Tianxi couldn't help laughing when he heard his cousin's metaphor.
Lu Yiwen sighed, and then said: "Uncle is very angry. The Tantai family members are in trouble this time."
The Tantai family should never regard their fourth uncle as a lecher and a tool for profit.
Lu Tianxi could tell that apart from their marriage relationship, the Lu family and the Tantai family did not have a close relationship.
The engagement between Lu Shirong and Tan Taizhu was due to his grandfather's last wish before his death.
The late head of the Tantai family was grateful to his cousin for saving his life, so the marriage between the two families was perfect.
Tan Taizhu was chosen to be Lu Shirong's fiancée regardless of her age or status.
It stands to reason that the marriage relationship between the two families should be closer to each other.
But the Lu family has never been close to the Tantai family, and occasionally they will express their disgust inadvertently.
Lu Tianxi thought to herself, maybe the Tantai family took advantage of her uncle and was forced to get engaged to Tantai Zhu, which caused the uncle's family to dislike the Tantai family.
She imagined many plots in which her uncle was forced. She turned her head and stared at her cousin, wondering: "Is my uncle's engagement with Tantai Zhu forced?"
Lu Yiwen seemed to remember something disgusting, her expression darkened, and she said in an unhappy tone: "No, it's because the Tantai family is too greedy."
Downstairs, facing Tantai Zhu's humble plea, Lu Shirong's handsome face looked cold and indifferent.
His voice was low and slow, and he said ruthlessly: "Tantai Zhu, we agreed from the beginning that I will never marry you, and you agreed with your nod."
He could easily agree to Lu Tianxi's termination of the engagement in the first place precisely because he had never promised anything to Tantai Zhu.
It was a mutually beneficial transaction between them.
There was no emotional entanglement from beginning to end.
