Chapter 176: Wind and Rain Entering the East Island
"Seriously, Hugo, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" Xia Ran complained to Hugo while chewing on the instant dried pineapple.
The sound of roaring engines echoed in the spacious helicopter cabin, and although the pilot had tried his best to steer the aircraft smoothly, the bodies of several people in the cabin were still trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Hugo sat in his seat, two seat belts firmly tied him to the seat, and it seemed that he was extremely safety-conscious, and next to him was Hitomi who had been rescued from Tianying last night.
Hugo said: "Don't be so nervous, you are my guest of honor now, I will not sell you to African cannibals for lunch." ”
Xia Ran tilted his head and said, "I want to thank you for saying that, too." I'm from Drift Street, and as long as I don't sell to cannibals, I won't be able to go any worse places. ”
The gags of the two of you and me made the atmosphere in the plane improve a lot, but the rest of the people were still full of death.
This time, in addition to Xia Ran, there was also Thangka who boarded the plane with Hugo, and Thangka was still quite dissatisfied with Hugo at this time, and at this time there was an extra girl with outstanding looks around him, and he knew that this must be the hostage that Hugo exchanged for with the priceless heart furnace.
Looking at Jasmine's graceful figure and beautiful face, a nameless indignation was born in her heart. Thangka himself knows that there is not only dissatisfaction with Hugo, but also jealousy of Jasmine.
Xia Ran swallowed the last piece of dried pineapple in the food bag, and then said to Hugo: "Since it is not a transoceanic trip, and it is not a smuggling to Liujie, where is our destination? At this sensitive moment, Tsukishima is more tightly controlled in its airspace. ”
Hugo smiled faintly and said, "Timely entertainment, what happened recently is not our fault, why do you want me to hide in the shadows?"
Xia Ran pursed his lips and said, "The saddest thing is that I'm not a blasphemous at all..." Speaking of this, Xia Ran turned his head to Thangka and smiled: "But I will always stand firmly on the side of the Manyan Society." ”
Seeing that Thangka didn't pay any attention to him, Xia Ran looked at Hugo again and said, "In this case, you don't want to go around in circles with us anymore, where is the destination of our trip?"
Hugo smiled and slowly spat out a few words.
"My hometown, East Island. ”
Hugo's words plunged the entire cabin into a calm, and a moment later it suddenly heard the shouts of Natsuran.
"Get me off the plane!"
...
Natsuran hugged her shoulders and looked at Hugo angrily, while Jasmine and Thangka, who had been silent before, also turned their attention to Hugo.
"Are you a survivor?" Thangka asked Hugo first, unable to restrain his curiosity.
Hugo shook his head and said, "To be precise, I am a survivor of the East Island. ”
This sentence surprised several people, Hugo's background is completely mysterious in the eyes of everyone, he lives in the low-key and mysterious residence of the Malfoy apartment, which is almost a safe with secrets, although everyone knows that it can only be moved in by people with a deep background, but everyone still can't know Hugo's full identity.
In addition, the blasphemers have their own secrets, so they don't easily spy on other people's information. It doesn't matter what Hugo's background is, what matters is his thoughts and attitudes.
However, even so, it was surprising when Hugo told his life story, because Higashijima can be said to be a taboo existence on the mainland of Matsukishima.
An unprecedented catastrophe has wiped out the once-thriving city overnight, and in ten years it has been completed into a dead city, a forgotten place in people's memories, everything about the East Island is now known very little, and everyone present felt the same way. But there are no doubts about Hugo's words, because in his opinion, this explanation will give a good explanation in many things.
Xia Ran said: "I thought everyone in the East Island was dead, and I was in the midst of the major nuclear accident. ”
Hugo smiled and said, "Please, you must not believe this statement." ”
Xia Ran shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Of course I don't believe it, a nuclear leakage that destroys the world and the earth is too small for the moment." After a pause, Xia Ran continued: "But I also have a question, the destruction of the East Island caused almost all the people of the East Island to die, and how did you survive?"
Hugo thought for a moment and said, "I can only say that it is difficult to say, if I adapt what I have experienced, it is not inferior to "Robinson Crusoe". Even I have not yet been able to come up with a complete and accurate answer to the complexity of many things, but there are bright spots for sure, first: the destruction of the East Island was a completely man-made event, but it was not a nuclear leakage. Second: Many survivors survived the destruction of Higashijima, but instead of being rescued, they continued to endure the massacre of the Tsukishima military for the next three years, so that I was the last survivor when I left Higashijima seven years ago and entered the metropolitan area. At this time, Hugo was still careful not to reveal the existence of Changji to several people.
A series of exciting news continues to refresh the cognition and feelings of several other people present, everyone is in a state of shock and speechlessness, and everyone feels anxious and difficult to deal with at the moment, but what Hugo said is to reveal a larger secret past, it can be said that compared to the destruction of the East Island, the Radium Stadium incident and the destruction of Tianying are all "pediatrics" that do not make people care.
It can be said that everyone has doubts about the cause of the destruction of the East Island, especially the desecrated, because the desecrate began to appear after the destruction of the East Island, but no one has any factual basis, and there is no necessary connection between the two sides, so no one pays attention to it.
Hugo raised this point at this moment, so that several people present suddenly realized that maybe everything that is happening now is related to the great catastrophe ten years ago.
Xia Ran swallowed and foamed, and then said to Hugo: "Hey, no matter what, the current East Island is a wasteland, what are you taking us there for?"
Hugo smiled slightly: "Not long ago, I was told that if I want to get out of the current predicament, then let everyone's eyes not be placed on you, and force them to deal with the things they have to face in front of them. I think it's a good idea to try it. ”
Xia Ran grinned and said, "Your method is to bring me a few people to visit your hometown?"
Hugo said: "Of course not, I actually want more people to see here." ”
...
Thick, damp clouds enveloped Hugo's helicopter, whistling and dancing under the influence of the fierce air currents, and there was a great tendency for a violent rain.
There was a deep roar of thunder in the clouds, as if lightning would turn the entire plane to ashes in the next moment.
Xia Ran's face was pale at the moment, his body trembled, his hands tightly grasped the armrests on both sides of the seat and muttered, "It's going to be fine... It's going to be fine..."
Hugo looked out of the cabin window with a chuckle on his face.
"It's a great day to come home. Although he couldn't see through the clouds, his intuition told Hugo that he was now over the East Island.
At this moment, the driver's calm, almost emotionless prompt sounded in the cabin.
"It is about to reach the sky above the designated coordinate point, and it will start to land in a minute. ”
Hearing this, Xia Ran closed his eyes tightly, and prayed quickly with words in his mouth, although at this moment the plane was violently jolting under the influence of the strong air current, making it feel that his body was turning upside down, but he also gritted his teeth and persevered in prayer.
The helicopter began to descend under the influence of the air current, and the entire cabin shook violently, and Xia Ran groaned, clutching the arm of Thangka on the side.
Although Thangka is very dissatisfied with Xia Ran's performance, he also understands Xia Ran's reaction state, and at the same time, Thangka turns his attention to Jasmine. I saw that although Jasmine's face was slightly ugly, her overall state was still very stable and heavy, which showed that her concentration was extremely strong. Seeing this scene, Thangka's heart couldn't help but give birth to a little admiration.
After a few weeks of spinning under the influence of several high-speed air currents, the helicopter broke through the heavy clouds and began to stabilize, although the overall fuselage still fluttered slightly, but it was much better than before.
Xia Ran slowly opened his eyes, and he still had a frightened and stable look at the moment.
Hugo smiled: "When you and I first met, you used a zipline to escape from a high-rise building of more than ten floors, why are you so scared this time?"
Xia Ran's voice trembled and retorted: "There are no storms, clouds, or thunder and lightning around my escape zipline! Besides, you tell me what are the chances of survival if something happens in the middle of this 10,000-meter altitude?"
"Kid in the back seat! if you keep that on your lips again, I'll throw you down from here, and I won't even give you a parachute!" the pilot's cold voice came over the PA system.
Xia Ran was so frightened that he hurriedly closed his mouth, and finally looked at Hugo with pitiful eyes and whispered, "Hey, you won't let me go." ”
Hugo smiled: "No way, I have to fly here." ”
...
When the plane was still more than 1,000 meters away from the ground, with a loud noise in the sky, the rain had come down in a loud voice, although the sudden heavy rain obscured a great flight sight, but fortunately, the airflow began to calm down, and the helicopter returned to its initial stability.
Natsuran rubbed her ears, which were uncomfortable due to the air pressure, and looked out through the hatch.
But in the rain, everything on the ground looked extremely dim, and it looked like a barren gray wasteland.
Xia Ran was stunned and said, "If a few zombies suddenly appear here, I'm afraid I won't be surprised." ”
When Hugo heard this, he suddenly thought of a conversation about seven years ago, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"If it would be nice if there were zombies, then our trip wouldn't be too boring. ”
Xia Ran looked at Hugo with an incredible look, and then said, "You guy, this is a madman. ”
In about ten minutes, the helicopter has already begun to land 100 meters, and even if it is covered by water mist, people can still look at the scenery below.
Xia Ran exhausted his eyesight and looked down, and then whispered: "This looks like a villa area, hey, Hugo, is it possible that your family lives here?"
Hugo shook his head and said, "I don't have a home. ”
Xia Ran looked sideways at Hugo, blinked and said, "Has anyone told you that it's really strange?"
Hugo smiled: "Fortunately, all in all, in the past few years, this land can be said to be my final word, you can imagine it as my back garden." ”
Xia Ran thought for a while and said, "If you can get a share of the title deed, then we may be able to become the richest people in the world." ”
The helicopter's rotors spun rapidly, and the rain scattered under the tremendous pressure of the wind it generated. When the helicopter landed on the ground and the engine began to stop slowly, Hugo unbuckled his seat belt and smiled at the others: "Everyone, welcome to the East Island." ”
...
With the heavy rain on his head, Xia Ran rushed into the door of a villa in one breath, and when he stepped into the living room, Xia Ran intuitively felt a strong dust rushing to his face, choking him with a cough. Although he had a raincoat on his body, his trouser legs were still wet from the rain.
Because the windows around the living room are too dirty, coupled with the rain outside, the light in the room is very poor, and further inside, it can be said that you can't see your fingers.
Xia Ran pursed his lips and said, "The worst basements in Liujie are more humane than here." ”
As he spoke, Hugo had already walked in with two huge military bags, although he was not moving quickly, but he had been protected by the ability of the desecrated, so neither his body nor the military bags in his hands were wet.
Seeing this, Xia Ran said: "If I knew this, I should have hidden it in your military bag." ”
Hugo looked behind him, then lowered his voice and said to Xia Ran: "If you are not afraid of losing face in front of Thangka, I don't mind." ”
Hearing this, Xia Ran snorted coldly and said, "You kid don't pretend to be kind now, what happened to me today with you has already made me lose face in front of Thangka." I'm telling you, you're going to take full responsibility for this, and I'll find a way to fix it!"
Hugo said, "I'll do my best." ”
"It's not an effort, it's a must!"
While speaking, Thangka and Jasmine had already walked into the villa one after the other, Xia Ran hurriedly closed his voice when he saw this, and then turned his head to look around the living room again, and then said to Hugo: "I said, this heavy rain seems to be easy to end, we can't always take shelter from the rain here." ”
Hugo smiled: "This is not a place to shelter from the rain, this is our destination and a temporary residence. We spent a few nights here for an overnight rest. ”
