Chapter 15: The Last Relatives of the East Island

At dusk, Hugo stepped on the sand of the wilderness, which was still desolate and silent after many years, but fortunately, the entire East Island was now reduced to a ghost town, so the desolation here did not seem so abrupt.

The weeds in the wilderness are still there, but the perennial wind and rain have caused natural invasion and no one to take care of them, and large swaths of hay have dried up and died, lying in the dirt, waiting for the forces of nature to break it down.

This is Hugo's second destination and where he lived for four years.

...

When Hugo and Tsuneyoshi entered this military granary, they couldn't help but be shocked by the huge world-class facilities.

The military grain depot is completely hidden and built underground, with hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of huge space, located in the center of the grain depot is an incomparably huge storage tank, which is divided into all kinds of sealed food, and there are dozens of computers around the storage tank, which should be used for the dispatch of huge storage tanks.

There are more than 100 rooms scattered around the storage tank, each of which is a large warehouse, but it is used as a temporary storage reserve.

Tsuneyoshi looked at such a magnificent scene and said, "I always thought that Tsukishima was a man-made city, and its foundation must be shallow, and I have always disdained to believe in the figures given in the textbook, but now it seems that there are still reservations about what is recorded in the book." ”

Hugo was also shocked by the sheer size of the space, but the first thing he realized was to be wary of his surroundings. It's hard to imagine that there would be no one to live in such a secluded and sturdy space, and if there were people living here, it would have escaped the disaster of Doom Day. Moreover, those who know about this place, as long as they can survive the destruction day, will definitely come here to take refuge in the first place.

In any case, the two of them, who are now invaders, must be more vigilant.

Seeing Hugo make a silent and vigilant gesture, Chang Ji also restrained the deep affection in his heart, entering this underground military grain depot was indeed like discovering a huge treasure, and people couldn't help but be unable to control themselves.

After the two of them patrolled back and forth, they didn't find anyone, not even any traces of people's lives, Chang Ji gasped and said: "What the hell is this place, there is not even a ghost shadow." ”

Hugo said: "If there are ghosts, I can rest assured, ghosts in this world are much more terrible than people." ”

Chang Ji shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then we are the first group of people to start living here, I don't know if we will become ghosts here." ”

...

Hugo stood in front of the entrance of the passage and watched it quietly, this entrance had existed for several years, after being excavated for the first time by Dicar and others, and later after being repaired by Hugo and Tsuneyoshi many times, it became much smoother and smoother. At the beginning, Hugo and the two did not dare to live in this military granary, but only transported the materials outside for life, but after a long time, the two did not find anyone here, it can be said that the entire East Island is almost uninhabited, so the two finally lived in this military granary.

Hugo looked at the glimmer of the setting sun in the sky, then jumped into the passage and slid down the narrow tunnel.

Ten seconds later, Hugo rushed out of the passage, and his body skillfully turned and then fell steadily to the ground. After the body stood firm, the vast and majestic space underground jumped into view.

A number of solar and tidal automatic generators have been set up inside the military granary to maintain their own operation and food preservation, and several main lights above the dome emit a blue-white cold light, although the light emitted by several main lights is strong enough, but it still seems cold and deserted in this huge underground space.

Hugo exhaled deeply, although the ventilation system in the military grain depot was still intact, but the air in this extremely deep underground still looked dry and dull, but Hugo inhaled a different feeling of peace of mind in his lungs, like an old smoker, who would lose his soul after losing nicotine smoke.

Hugo looked at the strange and familiar places around him, and his heart was full of emotion. After many years of separation, I finally returned here.

"Don't move, or I'll shatter your skull!" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the darkness not far from Hugo, and then a black muzzle appeared in the light.

Hearing this voice, Hugo was not frightened, but smiled warmly in his heart and said: "Chang Ji, your broken gun has long been out of bullets, although the military grain depot is rich in resources, I haven't found a place to replenish laser bullets." I advise you to put away the things that are not even as good as burning sticks. ”

There was silence in the darkness for a moment, and then a surprised voice was heard: "ZERO?

Hugo smiled: "How many times have I told you, my name is Hugo." ”

The dark voice ignored Hugo's correction, and shouted, "You kid is not dead!" A figure jumped out of the darkness and pounced on Hugo, Hugo smiled and did not dodge, and then he was hugged by a big bear.

"It's really you!"

Hugo smiled and patted the person in his arms: "Don't worry, my life is very big." ”

The man held Hugo in his arms for a while before letting go of his arm, Hugo looked at the face full of vicissitudes of life, and felt a lot in his heart, and muttered: "Changji, long time no see." ”

The middle-aged man with a beard on his face in front of him is none other than Tsuneyoshi!

Looking at Hugo's face, Tsuneyoshi's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "ZERO... It's true... It's really you... I... I thought I'd never see you again in my life, you...", tears welled up in my eyes.

Hugo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be like this, why do you cry like a woman when you see each other." Tsuneyoshi cried and punched Hugo hard in the chest.

Hugo chuckled and once again embraced his only relative on the East Island.

...

In a spacious, bright room, Hugo and Tsuneyoshi sit opposite each other on a square table full of all kinds of food, but although the food is complete, most of it is plastic storage. Hugo's heart was even more moved when he looked at these simple and old-fashioned packaging, it was these foods that had lifted the two of them out of hunger and accompanied him through the loneliest years.

Chang Ji took out a bottle of wine, and then knocked off the bottle on the corner of the table, regardless of whether the broken bottle was sharp or not, he directly poured a few mouth-to-mouth mouths, his face full of excitement and joy.

When the wine was drunk, Chang Ji's face immediately turned red, and he looked at Hugo excitedly and said, "After that night of separation, I never waited for you to come back." When it was daybreak, I went out to look for you, and I was nowhere to be found. I went crazy and searched for you everywhere around, I must have seen people in life and corpses, but in the end I found nothing. I think you might have been killed by that dog-day mecha and thrown into the sea. ”

Speaking of this, Chang Ji sighed again and said, "It's okay to look at you, you didn't have any big accidents that night, so why didn't you come back." ”

Hugo smiled faintly and said, "I can't come back because I left the East Island." ”
