Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan took a sip of water, leaned half against the wall, stared blankly at the ceiling, motionless!

The future is like this dark basement with no glimmer of hope in sight.

As the sun slanted westward, the sky outside gradually darkened.

Several people had a relatively hearty dinner and began to prepare for going to the underground base.

Luo Yuan went outside to get the car, but after more than ten minutes, he came back empty-handed, with a rather unhappy expression on his face.

"Why doesn't the car drive to the door?" Huang Jiahui asked while arranging her clothes.

"The off-road vehicle was suppressed by the fallen wall, and the other classic car was driven away by someone." Luo Yuan said helplessly: "It looks like we have to walk over.

"The car thief should be shot!" Huang Jiahui said bitterly, throwing down her clothes!

"Forget it, we stole it anyway!"

"Then can I still find the car now?"

Luo Yuan took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, took a deep puff, and said after spitting it out, "I can't open it without the key. This place is not far from the underground base, let's go there!"

"That's the only way!" She sighed and said.

She pressed the clothes down, tightened them with the zipper of the bag, took out the Desert Eagle, and pressed the white jade-colored synthetic bullets that Luo Yuan gave her into the clips one by one, and pinned them to her waist. She hesitated After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Then do you want to bring some food?"

"Since the car is gone, don't bring it, it's too heavy!" Luo Yuan shook his head and vetoed, after thinking for a while, he said: "Bring some water and compressed biscuits to avoid accidents!"

He turned his head and looked at Wang Shishi holding a teddy bear that was as tall as a person: "Put this thing down, go get a backpack on the second floor, and pack the food stamps and gold bars in the safes in the bedroom and basement!"

"Brother Luo, I... I can hold it!" Wang Shishi said reluctantly with her mouth pouted. This Disney teddy bear is placed in her bedroom. It is much more upscale than the one at home before. She likes it as soon as she sees it. up.

Luo Yuan frowned, about to get angry.

Seeing this, Huang Jiahui quickly persuaded: "Master, it's not safe to carry this thing on the road, put it down, there will be more in the future."

Wang Shishi pursed his mouth, put down the teddy bear heavily with red eyes, and ran upstairs.

Luo Yuan sighed. He knew that Wang Shishi preferred plush toys. Before she moved to the villa, there was a dirty little bear that she picked up from nowhere on the bed in her bedroom. Only by holding these things can I fall asleep peacefully.

Sometimes when Luo Yuan came back from practicing knives in the early morning, he would often find Wang Shishi unconsciously crying in his sleep.

This sudden apocalypse caused Wang Shishi psychological trauma, which is far more serious than it seems. After all, she is still a girl whose mind is not yet fully mature. No matter how strong she is, she cannot completely withstand the various blows brought to her. psychological trauma.

But the end of the world cannot tolerate the slightest tenderness, nor the slightest sympathy and compromise. If you don’t adapt, you will be eliminated. Maybe in retrospect after a few years, life now may be like being in heaven.

He didn't think about it any more. He went outside to look at the sky. Today is just the middle of the moon, the full moon is in the sky, and it is as bright as snow. Even without a flashlight, he can see the road clearly. It gradually became stronger and began to become intermittent, and the frequency was greatly reduced.

He looked at his watch. The radar watch he found in this villa clearly showed that it was exactly nine o'clock in the evening on New Year's Eve today.

At this time last year, he was still watching the Spring Festival Gala in the rented room, thinking about where to eat tomorrow, but today this year he is worried about how to survive. The changes in the world are so bizarre that no one can imagine.

When he walked to the living room, Wang Shishi had already stepped down, already carrying a hiking bag on his back. Luo Yuan looked at the awkward Wang Shishi, walked over and patted her on the shoulder, handed her the modified flying shuttle, and said, "This is your companion, and it is also the best and least betrayal companion. !"

Wang Shishi held the shuttle, and nodded half-understood.

Seeing that everything was packed, Luo Yuan looked at the time again and said, "The underground base opens at twelve o'clock, but I'm worried about accidents, so let's go there now, Jiahui, you carry the suitcase for the clothes, Huang Yueying will take the food box, and I will be in charge of guarding it, let's go!"

Huang Yueying's body trembled involuntarily, and her face turned pale.

Ever since Luo Yuan said that he would take them to the underground base, she had vaguely felt that Luo Yuan occasionally looked at her with strange eyes, which made her restless all afternoon, until Luo Yuan told her to carry the food box , reached the peak.

Food, clothes, money, everyone has different values ​​in this last days. Among the powerful people, money ranks first, because they need to pursue a more luxurious life without worrying about food and clothing. Among ordinary people who are half-starved and half-fed, food is the first priority, and only food can keep them alive.

Luo Yuan has no power, but he is a powerful evolutionary, whether it is food or mutated animal meat, he can easily get it as long as he takes risks. Even if he goes to the underground base and implements military control, as an evolutionary, he will be in the upper class, and there is no shortage of food, so even if there is no food, he will not care at all.

The key is, are these arrangements unintentional or deliberate? But no matter what it is, it has already reflected that her position in Luo Yuan's heart is dispensable. Unfortunately, she has been here for too short a time. bad impression.

Seeing that she was about to leave, if she didn't make a decision, she would have no chance. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say in a trembling voice: "Brother Luo, can you come to my room, I have something to talk to you about."

"What can't be said here?" Luo Yuan asked suspiciously.

Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi looked over, their suspicious gazes made her forehead sweat involuntarily.

"It's about the underground base. I know something about it." She twisted her clothes tightly with her hands, veins protruding from the back of her hands.

Luo Yuan's face suddenly became serious. He had just moved to Hedong City not long ago. It doesn't matter if he has no connections. He doesn't know anything about the information here. Huang Yueying is a local and has always lived near here. She has much better news than her. Not doubting him, he said to Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi: "You guys wait, I'll come as soon as I go."

Huang Yueying walked in front, her heart was pounding, she opened the bedroom door, and when Luo Yuan walked in, she hurriedly closed the door.

Luo Yuan just wanted to ask questions, but saw Huang Yueying squatted down and reached out to pull his trouser chain. After all, she has always been a law-abiding and married woman, seducing men seems jerky and direct.

"What are you doing?" Luo Yuan took a step back and said in a low voice.

The impression of Luo Yuan killing people without blinking an eye made her always remember deeply. Huang Yueying's body trembled, and her mind went blank: "I...I..."

"Is there anything else, if not, I'll leave?" Luo Yuan said expressionlessly.

Huang Yueying didn't expect that things would be self-defeating, her face lost all color in an instant, she grabbed him in a panic, and said incoherently: "No...don't go."

Luo Yuan looked at Huang Yueying's charming face with pleading and flattery, like a frightened skylark that would collapse to the ground at any time, he sighed secretly, but still hardened his heart: "This matter should be treated as a matter of course." It didn't happen, we have been here for a long time, let's go!"

Huang Yueying nodded uneasily, and forced a flattering smile on her face, which made Luo Yuan feel uncomfortable.

After a while, the two came out one after the other. Wang Shishi kept sweeping his eyes between the two, but the expressions of both of them were very calm. With her experience, she couldn't tell anything. Huang Jiahui's face was thoughtful.

…………………

Luo Yuan and the others walked out of the community, all the way cautiously. At this time, the sound of the cannons outside had completely stopped, and only the siren-like muffled roars from the mutant beasts remained.

From time to time, a huge shadow flew over the top of the head, and a gust of wind blew up, causing garbage to fly. The dilapidated buildings on both sides cast distorted shadows under the bright moonlight. On the street, twos and threes hurried on their way. These people dragged their luggage, carried sacks, and walked in a hurry, but no one made a sound. There was an oppressive silence.

From time to time, a car drove by on the street, and occasionally stopped, taking a few people with it, while most of them passed by at a fast speed without looking back.

Half an hour later, as we slowly approached the large construction site, the crowd grew, and the wide six-lane street began to congest.

Some people driving over, unable to move forward at this time, waited anxiously, cursed a few times in a low voice, got out of the car, and dragged bags of luggage from the trunk.

Seeing this situation, Luo Yuan frowned. He looked at the time, it was less than ten o'clock, and there were still two hours before the scheduled twelve o'clock. If the second lieutenant hadn't lied, it was far from the time to open the entrance to the underground base.

"What's the matter?" Huang Jiahui saw Luo Yuan's face was a bit unsightly, walked to Luo Yuan's side, and asked nervously.

Luo Yuan said in a low voice: "It's far from the time yet, and there are already so many people waiting. This is too abnormal."

"You never said, how many people can the underground base hold?" Huang Jiahui asked worriedly.

Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Three hundred thousand!"

Huang Jiahui covered her mouth, her face was pale, what does the 300,000 quota of underground bases mean to the nearly four to five million people in the city? She didn't dare to imagine it at all, but sympathizing with such emotions is too extravagant in the last days. She quickly thought of the problem: "This must be strictly kept secret, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. You mean that the secret has been leaked."

"I hope I guessed wrong!" Luo Yuan shook his head and said.

There is nothing in the world that is absolutely confidential, let alone a matter of life and death, the confidentiality is even lower.

Conscience and morality are a kind of shackles that go deep into the bone marrow for everyone who has lived in order, even the most vicious people can't ignore it. People are social animals, everyone has some people who cannot give up, the choice is a painful choice for those who already have a quota, because choosing also means giving up!

Confidentiality is particularly fragile in this situation, and leaking of secrets has become a matter of course.

And friends have friends, relatives have relatives, and secrets are not secrets under such circumstances.
