In the summer, the heat is getting higher and higher, and the cicadas, which were still chirping wildly in the early years, have disappeared in the past two years, and there is no sound of animals breaking all summer, which is really eerily quiet.

The whole city was like a huge boiler, all the work during the day was canceled because of the heat, the working hours were adjusted to the early hours and evening of the day, and no one dared to go out after ten in the morning and before five in the afternoon, and the scorching ground felt like it was going to be dried even if you stepped on it with your shoes.

Under the extreme climate, rumors are becoming more and more irrepressible, and even faintly become a consensus - a catastrophe is imminent.

The purchase of food and drinking water has once again been restricted, with each household having to buy only a limited amount of food and water per population, and the production of food and the storage of drinking water in lakes and reservoirs due to the climate have also dropped significantly.

Sitting quietly by the window and absentmindedly flipping through the book in my hand, it was already the end of October, but the sky was still bright at seven o'clock in the evening, and the breeze was blowing, and there was still a rampant temperature of the day.

She looked down at the window for a while, and when she finally saw the big truck slowly approaching, she simply put the book on her lap and went out the door.

The co-pilot's door was opened, and the thirteen-year-old, who had taken on the form of a young man, put on a smile the moment he saw her, and threw himself into her arms from the high driver's seat.

"I miss my sister so much."

Qi Nian rubbed it twice, and when she reluctantly let go, she still wrapped her hand around her waist, and the slight difference in height by more than half a head still made him have to look up, "Sister, don't be here, hot." ”

Jing Hao didn't break away from his movements, and he no longer fought with him in full view, and walked to the house with the strength on his waist, "I know it's hot here, don't run out to transport food next time." ”

She reached out and touched Qi Nian's sweaty head and hot cheeks, which were a little red, and looked at the little boy who had finally gained a little weight and turned into a skinny appearance because of the last year's smoking, she was inevitably a little distressed, "If you come back from a trip, you won't eat and sleep well, and next time you will stay at home with me obediently." ”

"I also like to spend time with my sister."

Qi Nian still looked smiling, half leaning on her shoulder and rubbing affectionately, moving his nose as if he was inspecting the lion in the territory, "I don't have a sister for a minute, I can't smell my sister, I feel like I'm going crazy." ”

He said this more than once, Jing Hao has gone from the initial numbness to now calm, and he can basically listen to the words he uses to be coquettish, touched his little curly hair and walked towards the restaurant, "I stewed some mung bean soup for you, and now it's almost cold." ”

Qi Nian followed completely obediently.

The strong man who followed and listened to the conversation just now silently stuffed twice as much grain into the warehouse, obviously accustomed to the drama just now.

How ruthless that kid is outside, how well-behaved he is when he comes back.

It's a shame that he also has the ability to hide the equally shrewd young lady to death, thinking that he is still a kitten that can only meow, and he is always worried that he will be bullied outside.

Thinking of this, I thought of the fate of those people who intended to grab the grain today, and the strong man carrying the grain glanced at each other, and couldn't help but shudder.

The days grew longer and longer, and at almost twenty o'clock there were signs of dimness, and as the sky grew darker, the cold felt like a direct transition from the scorching heat of summer to the harsh winter.

Even spookier weather than before.

The end is really coming.

This thought became clearer, and he turned his head to look out the window, the manor built on the mountainside, and the bright lights under the mountain were indeed a good night view.

She had only been distracted for half a minute, and Qi Nian, who had been ordered by her to sit on the other side of the table, unconsciously rubbed over, took the clothes that were put aside and put them on for her, reached out to cover her somewhat cold ears and carefully took a few breaths of hot air, as if holding some treasure.

"Sister, don't freeze."

Jing Hao's first reaction when he came back to his senses was to dodge, and when he turned his head to look at Qi Nian, there was still a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

After nearly eight years of getting along, she has always felt very strange about Qi Nian, although he did re-show his talent for potions under her conscious guidance, and this world is indeed recorded in the data, when Qi Nian was thirteen years old, it was completely the end of the world from a few years of extreme weather.

But in her unclear feelings, she could always feel that something was wrong with Qi Nian.

There is no clear evidence, no clear perception, and it is even difficult for her to turn her feelings into questions, but it is just a zài, like a meteor that will surely slide across the sky but will not be able to catch it, but it makes it difficult for her to take her attention away from the sky of Qi Nian.

What's even more weird is that she feels that Qi Nian is enjoying her embarrassment.

Suspicious of him, pay attention to him, but can't help but be soft on him.

It's like now, under her dodging action, Qi Nian actually hid a smile in her eyes, so she hid it in the door and opened the crack in the door for her to see the smile.

In a flash, trance was her delusion.

"Sister doesn't like me because I've grown up?"

He pursed his lips, and pushed the painting he had just drawn in his hand towards Jing Hao quite aggrievedly, and the painting on it showed her looking forward to life, with a carefree smile at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and the surroundings were a little brighter.

"I want my sister to smile like in the painting, not like she is now," he didn't stretch out his hand to pull her, but sat back obediently, looking more like he was sad about her dodge just now, "If my sister is unhappy because of me, then my sister must sue me, and I will change." ”

Even showing weakness is so appropriate.

Jing Hao sighed, rubbed her eyebrows and opened her mouth to open up the matter and say it openly, there was a precedent before that Li Xie almost made her unable to resist, she did have reason to suspect that this Qi Nian also had the possibility of being reborn, or rather, he at least knew something.

It's about her, and it's about the coming end times.

If it weren't for the many confirmations and central systems that this Qi Nian was herself, she would have even more terrifying guesses.

The sentence to be asked turned around in his mouth, and when he was about to say it, a scream suddenly came from outside that almost pierced the sky, and at the same time, in the brightly lit city, in the downtown where the nightlife had just begun, the same screams rang out one after another, and the lights in many places were instantly extinguished.

Before the noise had dissipated, gunshots rang out one after another.

The door of the balcony was dragged open by the strong man who rushed to him, his hands were trembling, the gun in his hand moved a few times, because it was not held firmly and hit the glass, subconsciously tightened the action, the sound of the bullet quickly leaving the chamber of the gun rang out with the sound of the gun.

Qi Nian quickly reached out and pulled Jing Hao behind him, and the thin young man stretched out his arms to try to protect her tightly, staring at the crater of the bullet ten centimeters in front of her feet, his face full of monstrous anger.

Only then did the strong man realize that he had almost missed and injured someone with a loaded gun, and when he looked up at Shang Qi Nian's expression, he couldn't help but shudder, feeling that he was more terrifying than the zombie he saw just now, and almost shouted out what he wanted to say, "Outside, there are a lot of zombies outside." ”

The end has come.

Qi Nian frowned impatiently, Jing Hao, who was standing behind him, shook his hand, and waved his hand to let the strong man go down first, "There is no problem with the protective facilities of the manor, everyone will rest today first, and then discuss the situation tomorrow." ”

At this time, naturally no one can calm down and rest, the strong man opened his mouth and wanted to refute, thinking about the boss in front of him, who is also a paying boss, and at the age of fifteen, he is properly protected, I am afraid that he has no idea to deal with the situation in front of him, and it is in vain to ask.

He was a little discouraged, muttering that the almost omnipotent butler shouldn't have left the previous two days.

The wind in the night was even cooler, Jing tightened his clothes, took Qi Nian's hand and went back to the room, stood at the door and said good night and gave him a good night kiss according to his custom, and when he was about to unscrew his door, someone reached out and hugged her from behind, and her hairy head rested on her shoulder, showing weakness in frustration.

"My sister was almost injured just now."

Qi Nian softened his tone, and his voice that hadn't changed his voice was still a little immature, "And what did my sister want to ask just now?" Is it that if I don't answer well, my sister will abandon me? ”

Jing Hao silently let him hold it, without answering or moving.

It's just that her silence made Qi Nian even more flustered, his hand around her waist hesitated and hesitated, and finally let go with difficulty like a fish out of the water, and stood up straight and separated from her by a step.

"I know my sister doesn't like me to stick to you so much, I heard them say, I just have bad intentions, ill-intentioned, it's not enough to have the identity of an adopted son of the Su family, and I try to get involved with my sister's ......"

His voice grew lower and lower, and finally there was silence.

Over the years, he would say a long series of sentences when he was quiet, and in front of others, one more word was like asking him to give up eating meat with his hands, or to get rid of the habit of drinking two mouthfuls of soup and then eating a mouthful of food.

No way.

Jing Hao didn't know that this was the first sigh she took tonight, turned around and faced Qi Nian, who was staring at the pattern on the ground with her head down, and said the most true truth, "I never thought of abandoning you." ”

"I just, there are some questions I don't quite know about I want to ask you, but just now, I found that there is no need to ask these questions," she reached out and rubbed Qi Nian's curly hair, "Anyway, according to your subconscious actions just now, you will definitely not hurt me, but you will seriously protect me." ”

She was afraid that Qi Nian would have zài variables in her body and cause irreparable damage when she was caught off guard.

And just now, Qi Nian's subconscious action had already handed over the variable remote control to her.

"Of course I'll protect my sister." Qi Nian looked up at her seriously, "I will try to grow up and protect my sister like a real man." ”

"Okay," Jing nodded well, "when you grow up." ”

After the contradiction was resolved, she turned around to open the door, Qi Nian grabbed the corner of her clothes again, hiding the deep and seductive dark green eyes, "That goodnight kiss just now has expired." ”

He brought one side of his cheek up, "Sister, hurry up and kiss me." ”
