Walk out of the mall and look around. The elevated trains were parked in a chaotic manner, interspersed with people getting off the train and fleeing. The sounds of crashing cars and sirens were heard one after another. There were people in suits and slippers in the crowd. People seemed to have reached some strange equality at this moment.
"What should we... do?" Wang Yiyi murmured softly.
Qin Jue raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Wang Yiyi's cheek, rolled his eyes and smiled. Suddenly his face froze, and he made a clicking sound from his mouth. He raised his stiff arm and stretched out his long, green-white fingers to touch Wang Yiyi's cheek.
"Ah!" Wang Yiyi fiercely protected her cheeks and screamed.
Qin Jue raised his slightly cold fingers and gently poked Wang Yiyi's round face from between his fingers.
Realizing that she was just being teased, Wang Yiyi was so angry that she slapped him with her backhand. Qin Jue yelled "Oh oh oh oh" for a while, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
After such a fuss, Wang Yiyi finally felt less nervous. In her heart, Qin Jue was having a hard time, especially after her parents had an accident.
Qin Jue's parents died in an accident when she was still a minor, leaving a sum of money behind. In addition to monthly living expenses and tuition fees, she will also receive a sum of money when she gets married, gives birth to a child, or starts a business. It simply arranges most of the anxieties in life clearly.
The result of such an accident for Qin Jue is that she will actively avoid changes and risks. So she took a job as an editor for a university publication. You work step by step every day, and there is no need to work overtime, and you are not even in a hurry for promotion or salary increase. Unlike Wang Yiyi, who longs for love or marriage. It seemed like she would live her life peacefully and normally. Best, no surprises.
However, the accident happened, in a way that no one could have predicted.
But she seemed to be coping well. Wang Yiyi has always known that she will never be abandoned by Qin Jue, and she will even be the one who chooses to stand in front of her when there is danger.
Sometimes she feels that she is the one who is willing to hide in a corner of the eggshell, probably because her relatives and Qin Jue will always protect her. The red eyes still couldn't hold back the tears. No matter what the world became now, she would still be the friend who would never leave Qin Jue.
Qin Jue has a few strands of hair stuck to her face. She is 170cm tall, thin but powerful. The physical fitness brought by her persistence in exercise has shown good explosive power and endurance at this time.
"We still have to find a place to stay tonight. Cars can't drive on the road." Qin Jue looked at the highway that was filled with scattered cars. There was no way to go.
"We still need to find a pharmacy. It's best to bring some water and food." Wang Yiyi took out her mobile phone from her bag, but there was still no network signal.
"It's likely that the power will be cut off sooner or later. There is a community two streets away from here. There should be pharmacies and convenience stores nearby." Qin Jue pointed to the back street. There are very few people in the back streets of shopping malls, which are generally used for unloading, parking, and loading and unloading garbage.
"Let's go along the path. It should be safer where there are less people." Qin Jue picked up Wang Yiyi and walked along the back street.
The back streets are indeed much quieter, but every time you pass an intersection and entrance, it's like passing through dark holes. Something is dormant inside, and the darkness will surge with their breathing.
Across the back street is an alley in the old city, which seems to be a completely different world from the city center with tall buildings. The houses in the alley are no more than two stories high and they are crowded together.
There is a drugstore at the entrance of the alley with a door that is only one person wide. The original color of the red paint on the wooden door frame can no longer be seen, and the threshold on the ground has a shiny dent made by feet, which shows the age of the store.
Qin Jue stepped in first. The pharmacy, which was as big as a concierge, was crowded with people. The shelves closest to the door were colorful family planning supplies. The pink and blue boxes are now neat and tidy.
There were people of all ages and genders in the store, and it was so lively that it was completely different from the silence outside. It was so crowded that people couldn't turn around, and people were shouting and grabbing for the medicines they needed.
Qin Jue took advantage of his tallness and thinness, so he squeezed into the end and got a large bag of gauze. The iron door of the storage cabinet was almost half removed and was wobbling. The anti-inflammatory drugs on the shelves inside have been taken away, leaving some scattered vitamins and unintelligible pills. When she was turning around, she saw a man holding a full box of unopened anti-inflammatory drugs from the corner of her eye.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the man's arm, looking at him pleadingly with wet peach blossom eyes: "Brother, can you give me a box? I'm injured and need some anti-inflammatory medicine."
The man looked her up and down, saw the black tooth marks and wounds on her arms, and her obviously red eyes. His expression suddenly turned frightened. He yanked the hand holding the medicine box away and ran out of the door quickly. Qin Jue was staggered by the huge pulling force.
When Wang Yiyi saw this, she became angry and cursed: "Why is this person like this? Can you finish eating so much?"
The bustling small pharmacy suddenly became quiet. People noticed Qin Jue coming in and the black tooth marks on her arms, and they all showed frightened expressions. Then someone screamed, and the crowd fled through the door regardless.
Qin Jue and Wang Yiyi looked at each other and looked around. There was nothing left in the empty pharmacy, so they had to return to the alley. In their hands, they only had the pack of gauze that Wang Yiyi had just grabbed.
"There is a vegetable market at the end of the alley. We should be able to get some things there. It's impossible for everything to be smashed, smashed, and robbed." Wang Yiyi said as she took Qin Jue's hand and was about to leave when she suddenly felt The temperature when touched by fingers is very high as human beings.
She immediately turned back and raised her hand to touch Qin Jue's sweaty forehead.
In just a short period of time, Qin Jue's face was covered with sweat, his face turned pale, and his lips were completely colorless. Her long hair stuck to her forehead and neck, and her dark eyes still looked at her clearly in black and white.
"I'm fine, let's go quickly. Otherwise, if it gets dark, it will be harder to find a place to hide." Qin Jue's eyes were quiet and steady, but Wang Yiyi knew in her heart that resisting forcefully was not an option.
There was no one in the alley at this time. In the past, there were no people who were getting off work, after school, or shopping for groceries. It was unusually quiet here.
The setting sun was like blood, and in the corridor-like alley, the only sounds left were the rapid footsteps and breathing of the two people. The shadows of the trees on the cement wall were stretched very long, trembling slightly with the wind, as if something stretched out its fingers, chasing after them.
Running out of the alley, the market door opened.
The inside was in the same situation as the pharmacy, it had been cleared out. The vegetable stalls were staggered on the ground, and the sparse vegetable leaves and fruits were trampled into a puddle of mud.
