Chen Xiaodong lay on the cold concrete stones, feeling endless despair tightly surrounding him. He was unwilling to give up and moved his hands desperately to move the cement block in front of him. Every move seemed to consume all his strength. Sweat mixed with mud, blurring his vision.
The surrounding stones seemed to have formed an impenetrable wall, and no matter how hard he struggled, it seemed like he was just making pointless resistance. His hands were cut by sharp rocks, and bright red blood stained the gray cement like blooming roses.
Chen Xiaodong closed his eyes and sighed deeply. At this moment, he seemed to feel the irresistibility of fate. His heartbeat was gradually slowing down, and every beat felt like a final struggle. The air around him seemed to have solidified, and only the cold steel bars and heavy cement blocks oppressed him.
Chen Xiaodong felt a surge of grief and anger in his heart. He felt like a helpless boat drifting in the vast sea, surrounded by endless darkness and cold wind and waves.
It reminded him of those days when he wandered the streets and alleys of Shanhai City, looking for a job. Every time he walked into the company he was applying for with high hopes.
But the other party just glanced at him indifferently, and then told him, "You are the key suspect of the police station. As long as the police keep an eye on you, we will not dare to let you join the job. Wait until you are proven innocent and come back for an interview."
He remembered that day, the sun shined on him through the dark clouds, but he felt bitingly cold. He sat on a bench on the street and looked at the people coming and going. They all had their own destinations, but he didn't know where to go. His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.
Chen Xiaodong clenched his fists, with an unyielding light shining in his eyes. He rushed towards the huge mecha, power surging through his body. Endless anger and grief surged in his heart. The world was so unfair to him. What had he done wrong to deserve such a fate?
"Why? Why?" His fists struck the mecha's armor with endless fury.
"Boom!" A deafening explosion sounded, and Chen Xiaodong's fist collided with the mecha's armor. The powerful impact made his body tremble, but he did not flinch, but continued to vent his frustration.
"Warning! Warning! The mecha is under unknown attack, please defend yourself immediately!"
Qin Lan has been going crazy since the mecha fell to the ground. The mecha was like a stubborn donkey, lying motionless on the ground. Her fingers were almost sparking on the touch screen, completely ignoring her orders.
Now she heard the banging collision outside, which made Qin Lan even more anxious. She had just discovered such a large-scale explosion. She was able to avoid the impact of those explosions in the mecha, but the vehicles outside could not resist the shock wave of the aerial bomb. She was worried about those in the convoy. Did the survivors escape safely?
Although it is not known why the strategic bomber formation arrived so late, it is obvious that they encountered trouble midway and delayed the allotted time. What's even more puzzling is that they dropped aerial bombs below without notifying anyone.
Qin Lan's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. Her fingers clicked frantically on the mecha's touch screen, but there was no response from the mecha. Only the cold prompt echoed in her ears, "Pilot authentication error, unable to start!"
She felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning. How is this going? She is obviously the pilot of this mecha, why is there an authentication error?
At this moment, the mecha's cabin door was opened, and a embarrassed figure entered the mecha. Seeing this, Qin Lan was shocked. She thought it was a zombie coming in and raised her fist to hit the man.
"Ah... you must be sick!" Chen Xiaodong groaned in pain, trying to resist Qin Lan who rushed towards him. Perhaps Chen Xiaodong had exhausted too much energy and was suppressed for a while, unable to resist.
"Are you a human?" Qin Lan quickly stopped the offensive and asked hurriedly, "How are the survivors outside? Have they left?"
Chen Xiaodong pushed Qin Lan's extended hand away and rubbed his head, "Don't mention those bastards to me, they actually left me and drove away!"
Qin Lan listened to Chen Xiaodong's explanation, and her heart finally fell back to its original position. Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and her whole body seemed to have lost all strength. He leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes tiredly.
"It'll be fine if it's okay, it'll be fine if it's okay..." She kept mumbling, her voice trembling.
Qin Lan took a deep breath, and a complex of emotions surged in her heart. She felt lucky and guilty. She was glad that Zhang Mao and the others left safely, but felt guilty that she was unable to protect them.
"It's okay, you were kicked in the head by a donkey. We are buried underground now, and Shanhai City is no longer what it used to be. No one is here to save us. We will either die of thirst or starve."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaodong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He glared at the woman in front of him and yelled, "It's okay! You were kicked in the head by a donkey. We are buried underground now, and Shanhai City is no longer what it used to be." , no one will come to save us, we will either die of thirst or starve."
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaodong saw Qin Lan raise his fist and immediately stepped back, "Don't come over here. I'm telling you, I'm really powerful. I can kill three zombies with one punch...ah!"
Qin Lan punched Chen Xiaodong on the shoulder, causing Chen Xiaodong to moan in pain. She stared at Chen Xiaodong, "If you curse again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"
Then the two fell into silence, but Chen Xiaodong glared at Qin Lan from time to time. When Qin Lan saw this, he immediately glared back and raised his fist to increase his intimidation.
"Don't think about it." Qin Lan warned Chen Xiaodong again, "Your injury won't heal for a while, so don't think about attacking me after it heals!"
"Hello...my name is Chen Xiaodong..."
"I know your name is Chen Xiaodong. Also, do you think it's good for us to be buried underground?"
“…”
Chen Xiaodong was speechless. Who just said it would be fine? How long did it take for him to forget it? If you weren't the only one here, he wouldn't even bother to talk to you.
Chen Xiaodong saw Qin Lan's fingers messing with the touch screen and didn't know what to do. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Well... I'm thirsty. Do you have water?"
Qin Lan looked up at Chen Xiaodong, then took off the back of the bag, took out a bottle of mineral water, and threw it at Chen Xiaodong, "Save it, lest you don't have any water when you get there and you'll die of thirst."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Chen Xiaodong unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head and drank the whole bottle of water in one breath. He didn't care at all about Qin Lan's advice, which made Qin Lan shake her head.
"Hello, my name is Qin Lan!"
"What? What's your name?"
"Qin Lan!"
Qin Lan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She felt that Chen Xiaodong was deliberately pretending not to hear, so she saw Chen Xiaodong looking at her. Qin Lan continued, "You didn't hear clearly. Do you want me to repeat it again?"
"Grandma's bear! So you are Qin Lan?" Chen Xiaodong threw away the empty bottle in his hand like an angry bull, opened his arms and rushed towards Qin Lan, "bastard, I told you to drive without stopping, I will strangle you to death Bastard!"
The sudden scene made Qin Lan unprepared and was pushed down by Chen Xiaodong. Qin Lan suddenly panicked and tried to push Chen Xiaodong away with both hands, but Chen Xiaodong was so strong that he pinched his neck with both hands. Qin Lan felt that it became difficult to breathe. stand up.
Qin Lan grasped Chen Xiaodong's arm and tried to open it, but Chen Xiaodong's arm was like an iron pliers, tightly blocking his neck. Qin Lan's vision began to blur, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she felt like she was going to die.
Especially Chen Xiaodong at this time made Qin Lan even more frightened, reminding her of last night when the violent Chen Xiaodong took her away.
Especially at this time, Chen Xiaodong's eyes were shining with cold light, as if he was hiding endless anger and murderous intent. Seeing him like this, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel a chill rising down her spine.
Thinking of the scene last night, Chen Xiaodong suddenly went berserk, like an out-of-control beast, and forcibly took her away. His eyes were so fierce, as if he wanted to devour her.
Although Chen Xiaodong regained her composure later, the invisible sense of oppression still makes her still frightened and unable to calm down.
But now, he was pressing on her again, and that familiar and terrifying aura made her unable to move. She knew that this time, Chen Xiaodong was going to do something amazing again.
Thinking of this, the frightened Qin Lan struggled quickly to get rid of the demon-like Chen Xiaodong. Then Qin Lan felt the palms on her neck disappear and she could breathe easily.
Qin Lan only saw Chen Xiaodong with a face the color of pig liver, curled up into a shrimp shape, his hands tightly protecting the vulnerable parts of his lower body. He could only make a weak moan in his throat, but could not shout any words, and his body He was shaking constantly, as if he was in great pain.
"Are you OK?"
Qin Lan asked cautiously, but saw that Chen Xiaodong's eyes were red, as if there was an uncontrollable anger burning in them. His eyes were fixed on Qin Lan, which made Qin Lan feel a chill to the bone.
She subconsciously raised her hand to stop Chen Xiaodong's impulse, but it was too late.
Chen Xiaodong suddenly rushed towards Qin Lan, causing her to retreat in horror. At the critical moment, Qin Lan clenched her palms into fists and punched Chen Xiaodong in the abdomen.
"You forced me to do this!" Seeing that Chen Xiaodong was afraid to get up, Qin Lan attacked Chen Xiaodong again. Seeing Chen Xiaodong paralyzed inside the mecha, Qin Lan said in a fierce tone, "You are messing around. Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
Chen Xiaodong said weakly, "You bastard, not only did you cheat me with a shotgun, but you also forgot about me when you drove away. The most important thing is that you still owe me money!"
Qin Lan was confused and Chen Xiaodong was talking nonsense. When did she cheat Chen Xiaodong's shotgun? And when did she owe Chen Xiaodong money?
"You bastard, you almost killed me off just now!" Chen Xiaodong became angrier as he thought about it, and slapped the touch screen hard with the palm of his right hand, "Anyway, we can't get out, and we have to wait to die. I'll kill you first!"
At this moment, the mecha hatch suddenly closed, and then a prompt sounded, "Pilot certification successful, autonomous mode has been activated!"
Before the two of them could react, the mecha began to shake. With a crashing sound, they knew without guessing that the mecha had broken through the cover.
The mecha's iron fist slammed into the top of the cover, instantly punching a large hole in it. Sunlight shines in from the big hole, forming a bright beam of light.
The beam of light shines on the metal surface of the mecha, reflecting a dazzling light that "makes people afraid to look directly."
Then, the mecha's legs exerted force, jumped suddenly, and jumped out of the big hole. For a time, dust flew up, covering everything around.
When the dust settled, the mecha stood among the ruins, standing like a giant steel tower.
