Chapter 185: The Shadow of War

"Welcome-" Fang Yuanyuan raised her head, but as soon as she was halfway through her words, her voice froze.

Jiang Chen, who was standing at the door, was also stunned, and a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.

He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he actually ran into this woman again.

Aisha tilted her head to look at Jiang Chen, and then looked at the front desk again.

As if she understood something, she gently pulled Jiang Chen's hand and whispered, "Or, change one?"

"No, I don't. Jiang Chen smiled and gently squeezed her little hand.

Although I dislike this person, it is not to the extent that I can't see it.

Seeing Jiang Chen walking towards this side, Fang Yuanyuan lowered her head.

"Hello, what do you need. ”

There was something unnatural about her tone. Jiang Chen noticed that her fingers were trembling slightly.

I guess it's fear.

"Cakes, chocolates, and lemons, just give me the menu. Sighing, Jiang Chen didn't bother to bully her, so he said simply.

Taking over the menu from Fang Yuanyuan's hand, Jiang Chen and Aisha picked it up together.

Looking at the girl beside Jiang Chen, for some reason, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little sour on the bridge of her nose.

At this moment, the door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and a man in plain clothes walked in, carrying a delicate bag of insulated boxes.

"Yuanyuan, you're hungry. The man had a scar on his forehead, but he smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Fang Yuanyuan's face showed a flush, nodded, and silently took the lunch box from his hand.

"Well, thank you. I'm still working."

"Then you get busy first, I have to go back to work, see you later. ”

Jiang Chen glanced at the two of them with interest in his spare eyes, and looked at the man with a happy smile on his face, and left the store with brisk steps.

"This cake should be good. ”

Aisha gestured to a chocolate cake garnished with fruit.

"That's it. Jiang Chen returned his attention to the menu and gladly accepted her proposal.

Cake shops with higher specifications like this generally have a door-to-door delivery service. Took the invoice from Fang Yuanyuan's hand. Jiang Chen suddenly asked in a playful tone.

"Your boyfriend?"

Fang Yuanyuan looked to the side with a complicated expression and nodded.

"Hmm. ”

"Does he know about your past?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"I don't know. Biting her lip, Fang Yuanyuan said in a low voice.

"Do you regret it?"

Fang Yuanyuan didn't answer, and looked at him instead. His eyes were full of pleading.

"Don't tell him, okay? I know you hate me, but Satoshi is a good man, I don't want him-"

Jiang Chen raised his hand to interrupt her words and smiled very casually.

"First, there is no hate. Second. I'm not interested in adding to the crowd either. I'm just curious, forget it, the answer is already known. ”

Looking at the cake hat on Fang Yuanyuan's head and the simple makeup on his face, he already had the answer in his heart.

Looking at Jiang Chen's back holding the girl's hand and leaving, the look in Fang Yuanyuan's eyes was a little complicated.

She once fantasized about marrying into a wealthy family one day and living the life of a heroine in a TV series. She did almost do it, and when she was a sales lady, a boss proposed to her. However, she chose to wait for the price and sell, thinking that she could get more with her beauty in exchange for more material enjoyment

Unconsciously. She gradually changed herself from a green tea watch to a pure watch.

In the end, it's not much different from selling.

From which day did you wake up?

Maybe it was that night, she was thrown out of the Hongyi Hall like a prop, and the mocking eyes and the 10,000 yuan thrown by the beggar were like a basin of cold water poured on her head.

It was late at night, and I didn't have my phone with me. After waiting on the side of the road for a long time and not being able to wait for a taxi, she had to drag her tired body and untidy clothes, and walked numbly in the direction of the rental house.

On the way home, she met two drunken hooligans. Those people obviously mistook her identity for the young lady who did that business, and tried to disobey and polite her. She resisted desperately. But the more she resisted, the more excited the two became.

Just when she was about to despair, he appeared.

He wasn't tall and didn't look very strong. But he still stood up bravely and stood in front of her.

She was amazed that there would be an idiot in this world who would be willing to stand up for a filthy woman like her.

Of course, he alone can't beat those two hooligans and hooligans.

It only took a few seconds for the beer bottle to shatter at the door of his head.

The blood flowed like an infusion, and this righteous and brave "idiot" didn't even flutter, and fell straight to the ground.

Maybe it's stimulated by the blood. The two men's wine woke up immediately. For fear of taking human life, the two hooligans and hooligans couldn't care about anything, so they spread their legs and ran away.

Looking at the man lying on the ground, as well as the glass slag and blood, Fang Yuanyuan froze. "Reason" told her that the easiest thing to do at the moment was to run away without saying a word, pretend that nothing had happened, and throw this "hot-blooded idiot" who was willing to stand up for her here.

But to her own surprise, this time she didn't believe the "reason" that has supported her so far. Without much thought, she crouched down. Picked up the glass slag and cut a cut on his skirt of more than 2,000 yuan, ripped off a piece of cloth, and bandaged his head simply.

The shocking bloodstains made her heart tremble.

On the deserted street, she shouted for help, but passing cars stepped on the accelerator and left.

No one wanted to, and no one dared to stop the car and come to their aid.

It's 12 o'clock in the evening, and the suburbs are already very unsafe.

A man with a bloody face lying on the ground, what if he stopped and gave them a ride, what if the man died in his car?

Eat a lawsuit, and then pay a sum for it, and if you are unlucky, you have to squat in the game.

In this apathetic society, the price of kindness is simply too great.

Not to mention that I have to go to work the next day.

However, there are still good people in this world. A pickup truck stopped, and the driver was very enthusiastic to help carry the dying young man into the car, and rushed the two to the nearest hospital.

After some rescue, the man finally came back to life.

I don't know why, she has always loved money, and she didn't hesitate too much. took out the 10,000 yuan "reward" he got from Zhou Zihao to pay for the medical expenses.

And until he woke up, she was by his side.

His name is Wang Cong, a very common name, and he wears his white shirt. It even looks a little rustic.

I just left school this year and worked as a programmer in an IT company.

When Fang Yuanyuan asked why he stood up to help her at that time, the man looked to the side with a red face.

"I didn't think much of it at the time, seeing a girl like you walking outside, entangled by two things that were obviously not good people. As soon as my brain heated, it went up. ”

"Did you think you might die?"

Wang Cong looked at her blankly and smiled reluctantly, "Probably not, no matter how you say murder, it's too much." ”

I don't know which tendon is wrong, Fang Yuanyuan asked, "Then if you know that you will die, will you still come to help me?"

There was a moment of silence.

Wang Cong scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently

"Yes, you can't watch a good family being ruined. ”

That night, she wore a snow-white dress.

A good home?

Hearing this word, I don't know why, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little sour on the bridge of her nose.

She cried. I regretted it too.

Later, she quit her job in the sales department and found her current job again.

Later, they came together.

Although he does not own a house and does not have a six-figure deposit.

One night, Wang Cong proposed to her.

She accepted.

As for money or something, it doesn't matter anymore

Coming out of the cake shop, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.

Aisha looked at him in confusion and tilted her head.

"Did anything good happen?"

"Nothing, nothing good. Just thought it was funny. Jiang Chen smiled and reached out to rub Aisha's head gently.

"Interesting?"

"Well, there is an old man who got her own ending. ”

"The end?" Aisha thoughtfully held out her index finger against her lower lip. "What is the end of a person?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for Aisha's question, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"It's hard to say, but from a bystander's point of view, the rest of the story is nothing to look forward to, and that's probably the end. ”

Aisha nodded in understanding

Eschatological.

By the Taipu River.

There was a goose-feather snow in the sky. The river has been covered with a thin layer of ice, the bridge across the river has been blown off, and the other side of the river is covered with white snow. On top of the snow, a few black spots were faintly visible.

"What are those mutants doing?"

Huddled in a bunker covered in snow, Zhang Ling held on to the digital binoculars and stared at the other side of the river with a frown.

Zhao Gang, who was standing on the side, was silent, but his expression was also quite gloomy.

Originally, they thought that the mutants who had been pulled out of their outposts and lost their supplies would be honest and at least wait until the beginning of spring next year to make plans, but now it seems that they are planning to die.

According to drone reconnaissance, about 200 mutants are stationed on the other side of the river.

Large quantities of building materials were transported to the open field and a small supply depot was built. Snowplows, along with slaves, carved a way through the dozens of kilometers of road buried by snow.

Armored trucks lined up in squares, seeping quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns lined up in a steel forest, and even the black hole in the artillery.

"What should I do?" Zhang Ling couldn't help but look at Zhao Gang on the side.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gang said calmly.

"Let's give feedback to the base, if there are 500 more people, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it here."

The river flows at its slowest here, and once it enters the glacial period, the river will freeze very firmly. Even the steel-armored mutants can run freely on the ice.

At that time, if the mutants who have formed a numerical advantage launch a charge, it will be difficult for the fish bones to parry with just these five hunting tigers.

Once they have captured the river bank and repaired the blown up bridge, their armored forces will cross the Taipu River and advance into Qingpu.

Looking at the snow hills in the distance, Zhao Gang's brows also twisted.

A vicious battle is inevitable. (To be continued.) )
