Chapter 5: An Unexpected Encounter
After joining Oss on the way, they spent more than a month in non-stop wandering, and now they have successfully arrived in Skonaril, which was once one of the most prosperous trading cities in country E.
Skonariel is already a city on the border with Europe, and it has been particularly damaged and damaged because it was one of the hardest hit areas by the zombie virus outbreak.
When Wright drove into the city, everything she went was a ruined ruin, and it was overgrown with weeds, making it look particularly desolate and depressed.
It can also be clearly seen that country E also carried out a covering bombing of this city at the beginning, hoping to curb the spread of the zombie virus. Otherwise, the city would not have been so badly damaged.
However, when they arrived in the western suburbs of Sconaril, it felt like they had entered a completely different world.
Because there are many survivors living there, and everywhere you can see are free markets with stalls, which look like a microcosm of the prosperity of Sconaril in the past.
All this seems to be so thriving, people have to admire the tenacity and survival ability of human beings in the face of adversity.
"I've always heard that the outskirts of Skonaril are the most prosperous place in country E right now, and it seems that this is really not fake." Os, leaning against the window, looked at the scene outside, with an unconcealable look of excitement on his face.
"Mr. Lai, they are trading goods, and some stalls are trading guns and ammunition." After seeing all kinds of guns and bullet magazines on some stalls with clear prices, Wright hurriedly reminded Li Tian, who was in the passenger seat, to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Country E is now in turmoil, and given that country E itself is a major arms producer, it is not surprising that there is such a deal." Li Tian still replied with his eyes closed.
After all, the government of country E is now divided and engaged in civil war, and where can they have spare time to take care of these local phenomena, and ordinary survivors living in a turbulent environment cannot count on the protection of the government/government, so they have to buy their own equipment and weapons to protect themselves.
And judging from the atmosphere here, we know that these open arms free transactions are not a recent phenomenon.
Just as Wright was cautiously driving the amphibious military off-road vehicle and paying attention to the surrounding situation, she suddenly spotted two familiar figures in the crowd of people coming and going through the car window.
"Mr. Lai!" After seeing the two figures in the crowd, Wit hurriedly called Li Tian, and at the same time slowly stopped the car temporarily.
And her tone of surprise and surprise not only made Li Tian open his eyes immediately, but even Os, who was sitting in the back seat, was attracted by her voice.
Li Tian, who opened his eyes, first looked in the direction of Wright's gaze without saying a word, and then also showed a surprised look with slightly widened eyes.
Because he found that one of the two figures that Wit found in the crowd was Lu Yiting. How could he not be surprised that someone he thought he would never see again had reappeared in front of him.
Although Lu Yiting was not wearing the special combat uniform of the Celestial Empire's special forces at this time, but an ordinary white shirt with faded jeans and military boots, his outstanding appearance and temperament still made people notice his presence in the crowd at a glance.
At this time, Lu Yiting obviously didn't notice the amphibious military off-road vehicle that Li Tian and the others were in, judging from the fact that he was staring carefully at the stalls with guns and ammunition, he should have wanted to buy weapons here.
And another figure who is also not unfamiliar is not Ye Yang, the object of Lu Yiting's relationship, but Li Tian and Wit also know him - Shao Xiaofang, the flight pilot who played a key role in the evacuation of the organ city.
Shao Xiaofang, who was next to Lu Yiting, was also dressed in an ordinary casual manner, judging from the way he kept opening his mouth to talk to Lu Yiting, coupled with the gestures he gestured, he should be saying some opinions and suggestions to Lu Yiting about these equipment and weapons.
"Do you know those two handsome guys?" Oss also spotted the figure they were looking at, "A friend? ”
Hearing Oss's question, Rit didn't have time to answer him out loud, but Li Tian actually took the initiative to respond to his question this time: "Not a friend." ”
"Huh? If you're not friends, why are you paying so much attention to them? "Oss still doesn't know why.
"Because it's a relative." Li Tian replied calmly without any hesitation, "The taller one is my younger brother. ”
"Huh?! Brother?! Oston looked very shocked, "Then brother, why don't you go to your brother?!" He'll be happy to see you, too! ”
Just as Oss finished saying this, Wit also hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, I think what Oss said is right, why don't you go and say hello to him?" When you said you were leaving, he looked pretty sad. ”
Li Tian was still looking at Lu Yiting outside the car window, and he felt that even if the two brothers were only separated by one car window at this time, they would be two worlds that could not be touched at all.
It should be said that the two of them were not people in the same world from the beginning, Lu Yiting still has a future with infinite possibilities, and his ending has long been doomed and cannot be changed.
Originally, Li Tian was indeed a little shaken and wanted to get out of the car to greet Lu Yiting, but after he saw Lu Yiting's open neckline wearing a new bullet pendant necklace again, he dispelled the idea of wanting to see Lu Yiting again.
Because he knew that he was just an important passer-by in his life for Lu Yiting, although he was related by blood, he was not really the kind of deep affection that was like hands and feet.
So he felt that even if he specially took away the necklace that Lu Yiting had worn for many years, Lu Yiting could still replace it with a new one.
So after being silent for a while, Li Tian replied lightly: "No need, keep driving." ”
"Mr. Li......" Wright wanted to say something more, but after seeing Li Tian's determined eyes, she swallowed all the words that came to her mouth.
Because Wright knew that she couldn't persuade him anymore, she had no choice but to continue to start the engine of the car according to Li Tian's wishes, and then drove away from this lot.
It's just that just as their car drove away from here, Lu Yiting, who was in the crowd, immediately turned his head to look at the location where they had temporarily parked just now, as if he had sensed it.
"What are you looking at?" Shao Xiaofang, who was standing next to Lu Yiting, immediately followed Lu Yiting's line of sight, and then found that there was nothing that attracted attention, so he said a little inexplicably, "It's rare for me to sacrifice time to accompany you to choose a gift, so don't be distracted!" ”
"It always felt like someone was staring at me just now." Lu Yiting frowned slightly and said, but he didn't find anything strange and suspicious when he looked over, "Maybe it's because I feel wrong." ”
"Who would pay attention to you?" Shao Xiaofang pursed the corners of his lips disappreciatively, "Do you really think you are a high-profile star?" Crazy fans everywhere you go? ”
"That's right, no one in this place will know me." Lu Yiting rarely agreed with Shao Xiaofang's speech.
"By the way, have you decided what gift you want to give Ye Yang?" Shao Xiaofang began to urge impatiently again, "I really don't understand what you think, what weapons and equipment to send as wedding gifts?!" Send the diamond ring directly! ”
"Go, go, can a diamond ring be used for a fart?" Lu Yiting replied with a look of disdain, "And it's for the sake of your grandmother, who was once known as the mother of weapons in the Celestial Empire, that I brought you over to help choose, it seems that I am looking for the wrong person." ”
"I'm really serious about giving you advice, are you always too picky?!" Shao Xiaofang snorted very dissatisfied, "Could it be that if you are still worried that the gift you gave is not to Ye Yang's heart, Ye Yang will not be good with you?!" I'm telling you, you're just worried! ”
"If you talk too much, be careful that I really beat you to death." Lu Yiting immediately gritted his teeth and warned, "Who told you that I was going to propose marriage?" I'm just here to return the favor. ”
"Returning the gift? Do you still need to return the gift for your relationship with Ye Yang? Shao Xiaofang really wanted to kneel for Lu Yiting's thinking.
"Because he gave me this necklace with a bullet pendant, I was able to avoid the penalty of writing a review." Lu Yiting replied honestly, "You also know that if you lose your identity card, you will be demerited." ”
"Really?!" When Shao Xiaofang heard him say this, he noticed the bullet necklace hanging around Lu Yiting's neck, "This is really not the one you wore before?" It looks exactly the same! ”
"No, there is no name on this bullet." Lu Yiting sighed.
"Why don't you engrave your name? Can that be called an identity tag? Shao Xiaofang raised his eyebrows incomprehensibly.
"Idiot, you, I'll always have only one ID card, and that's unique. If you can replace it casually, you and I will be mass-produced casually?! Lu Yiting glanced at Shao Xiaofang angrily, "Also, if you dare to tell this matter, I will definitely take revenge on you." ”
"You're threatening your comrades again." Shao Xiaofang replied with a painful face.
"I like that, do you have a comment?" Lu Yiting cut off, "Hurry up and choose a gift for me carefully!" If you don't get it today, don't leave here! ”
"Are you giving the gift or am I giving the gift?!" Shao Xiaofang simply had a feeling that he wanted to be full of faces.
