The next day, Lao Lu really didn't come back.

The sky was bright, and Yin Zhen and Julia set off from the villa area. They had enough food and water, and they had chosen the right weapons, and Julia took her Paran machete, known as the Blooddrops, with her.

"It's not safe to use a crossbow alone, bring this with you." She handed a short knife to Yin Zhen again, "Close combat, it should be good." ”

It was a short knife, the knife was not long, but it was very exquisite, the blade was as thin as a piece of paper, and the carved lines of the knife body were layered, as delicate as water lines, Yin Zhen took it, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Like?"

"Hmm!" He nodded heavily, "This knife is so good!" ”

"This is Damascus / Knife, Red Color." Julia said, "I think you're pretty comfortable with a short knife, so I've got you this one." If you like it, you'll be fine. ”

She looked at her watch again: "A quarter past seven, it's still early." ”

Yin Zhen's eyes were fixed on Julia's wrist: "What is this?" ”

He had already noticed the disc-like flowery thing.

"Watch, don't you know?" Julia was a little surprised.

"I—I know!" Yin Zhen immediately said, "I also have a piece of ...... to know that surface." But the one I had in my arms was bigger than that. ”

"Oh, you're using a pocket watch." Julia raised her wrist, "I'm Swatch." ”

"Swatch?"

"yes, actually, I don't know if it's accurate, and I don't know the right time." Julia looked at her watch, "Lao Lu gave it to me, and he used it when his daughter went to school, and I wore it for many years." ”

At the mention of Lao Lu, Julia's expression darkened, and Yin Zhen was not embarrassed to ask again.

The two men came out of the little red room, Julia locked the door, and they walked cautiously down the avenue.

"Where are we going?" Yin Zhen asked in a low voice.

"Park." Julia replied softly, "That's the direction, we'll have to walk at least five or six hours to get to our destination from here." ”

In the early morning, a faint morning light shrouded them, and the two of them walked on the broken asphalt road, although it was broad daylight, they did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, and paid full attention to the movements around them.

"Search the main road for now." Julia whispered, "If the search fails, let's go deeper into the abdomen." ”

Yin Zhen nodded.

The two of them didn't move fast, because not only did they have to be careful about the movements around them, but they also had to check the traces left by Lao Lu. Julia was very familiar with Lao Lu's footprints, and within an hour, she saw Lao Lu's footprints on the dirt of the flower bed by the roadside.

"It's done. This was left behind when he went. She was worried.

After walking for more than three hours, they found traces of a fire and some food scraps in a convenience store.

"He's probably spending the night here for dinner." Julia walked in and looked, "Well, that broken blanket on the counter is still there." ”

The further she went, the more nervous Julia's expression became. The fear in her heart made her face pale.

"What's wrong?" Yin Zhen looked at her.

"I'm worried that Lao Lu has been attacked." She whispered, her lips quivering.

Yin Zhen stopped and looked back at her: "As long as I haven't confirmed it with my own eyes, I don't think so." ”

Julia glanced at him, then lowered her head and silently continued to walk forward.

Yin Zhen followed behind her, unable to think of how to comfort her for a while. He pondered for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Tell me about the atomic bomb." ”

Julia was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at him: "What? ”

"I don't really know what it is." Yin Zhen looked at her and said, "Tell me, what the hell is that thing for?" ”

Julia understood that Yin really wanted to use other topics to distract her from her fear and anxiety.

She smiled bitterly: "If you hadn't been so sincere, I wouldn't believe that anyone didn't know about the atomic bomb if you killed me." To put it bluntly, it is a weapon of mass destruction. An atomic bomb can destroy a large city, and it only takes one pilot to kill thousands of people in an instant, and the consequences are endless. ”

Yin Zhen seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and he said in surprise: "How come? How could there be such a thing? One person kills thousands of people in an instant?! That...... So how the hell is it killed? ”

Julia nodded: "It seems that your family and parents have been too successful in isolating you from society. Do they want to lock you up in Sanssouci so that you never come into contact with the darkness of reality? ”

Yin Zhen didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he whispered: "It's not that they won't tell me, but they don't know it themselves." I now understand that they ...... Very ignorant. ”

Julia looked up at the sky, which was astonishingly blue in the afternoon, like a cage wrapped in countless secrets.

"No one is an immortal who predicts the future." She suddenly said, "Everyone was very ignorant. And not at all wary of the future - "The Day After Tomorrow" remembers? ”

"The day after tomorrow?" Yin Zhen opened his eyes, "What's the matter the day after tomorrow?" ”

"It's not about the day after tomorrow, it's about the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"." Julia rolled her eyes at him, "Remember the shot of the Statue of Liberty being swept away by the waves?" In the end, the torch in her hand turned into a McDonald's cone. And "2012" - I just said you can't always make this kind of film! Too many bad things will become true, not to mention taking pictures! And I shoot it over and over again! New York alone, if it wasn't destroyed 10,000 times in the movie, there were 8,000 times, and everyone still laughed at it - this is good, you can't laugh, right? It's really over, right? ”

Yin Zhen was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What is New York?" ”

Julia wanted to get him on her knees!

"I really don't know." Yin Zhen said very sincerely.

Then, Julia sighed: "Forget it, if you don't know, you don't know." I mean, in 2012, humanity was still making the end of the world a joke, and in December, the Internet was full of carnival jokes about the end of the world. Later, 12 years passed intact, and everyone took this as a joke, and no one was at ease anymore, and said, where will there be such a thing as the end of the world. As a result, in less than three years, the heavenly punishment appeared. ”

Yin Zhen listened silently, and he suddenly asked, "Do you remember all these processes?" ”

Julia shook her head, "I don't remember. My memory is broken, the previous paragraph is a normal modern society, and when I wake up again, I realize that things have changed, and I have been in a coma in the hospital at the stage of the accident - these are all things that Lao Lu told me. I didn't believe it, how could it be? It's not an American drama. It wasn't until the TV was off the air, with martial law tanks all over the streets, and helicopters on rooftops, that I realized it was true. Of course, by the time I see the zombies with my own eyes, it's too late. ”

The two walked forward silently for a while, Yin Zhen seemed to be pondering what she said, but heard Julia say again: "Actually, things are really wrong, do you know?" ”

"What?" Yin Zhen stopped and looked at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing is right." Julia said solemnly, "It's very wrong. As I told you, my residual memories are different from the records of this world. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's the atomic bomb I told you about last time. Let me tell you, Ah Zhen, in my memory, there are only two cities in human history that have been attacked by nuclear bombings. But in the history books of this world......"

She stopped suddenly.

Yin Zhen didn't guard against her and almost bumped into her.

"Julia?"

"There."

Listening to Julia's voice, Yin Zhen crossed her shoulder and followed her gaze across the road.

At the other end of the street, diagonally opposite them, about forty meters away, a huge beast was sitting in front of a red telephone booth!

Before Yin Zhen could come back to his senses, Julia grabbed his arm hard and dragged him back under the corner eaves!

"What are you doing...... Yin Zhen asked.

"It's Lao Lu!" Julia shuddered, "He's in that phone booth!" ”

"Wouldn't it?!" Yin Zhen was taken aback!

"If you don't believe it, go and see!"

Yin Zhen put away his chaotic thoughts, he held back a pounding heart, grabbed the corner of the wall with his hand, quietly poked his head out with the most heartfelt attitude, and looked again.

That's right, there's a guy locked up in that red phone booth!

The moment he appeared, the behemoth in front of the phone booth let out a low roar and turned its head to look this way.

Yin Zhen shrank back in a cold sweat!

"That'...... What's that?! His face turned a little pale, "That big thing ......"

"Lion!" Julia is going crazy, "Why don't you even know a lion!" ”

"What!" Yin Zhen was even more surprised, "Why does this thing look like this?!" It's not ...... it should be."

They heard a loud roar, followed by a loud bang.

The two of them suddenly stuck to the wall and didn't move!

After a long time, the sound stopped, and Yin Zhen slowly leaned out again and looked over there.

"It's really Lao Lu." He was stunned and said, "He's locked up in that red pavilion, and the lion is hitting that pavilion." ”

Julia's fingers were clutching Yin Zhen's arm, and her nails were about to dig into Yin Zhen's muscles!

He ...... Is he okay? She asked tremblingly, "He didn't turn into a zombie, did he?" ”

"Nope." Yin Zhen endured the pain in his arm, didn't push her away, only shook his head and said, "I saw him holding a knife." But the door was closed, and he couldn't get out. ”

After a little composure, Julia regained her courage, she climbed Yin Zhen with her hands, leaned on him, and leaned her body outward.

That's right, it's indeed Lao Lu, I saw him locked up in the cramped phone booth that only allowed one person, although he was still alive, but it seemed that he was helpless.

And the African lion was still crouching outside the phone booth, staring at him, as if the two sides were battling patience to see who would surrender first.

"He wasn't locked in, he hid in it when he was running for his life." Julia finally figured it out.

"So, what are we going to do now?"

Julia gritted her teeth: "Let's go fight that lion!" ”

Yin Zhen panicked and grabbed her: "You don't want to die?!" ”

"What else should I do! Lao Lu can't escape anymore. He's been hiding there for I don't know how long, and we've got to help him! ”

"You just ran out like this, and you were the one who died in the belly of the lion!"

As soon as Yin Zhen said this, Julia didn't move.

"It's me who damn it!" Julia said in a trembling voice, "It's all my fault, I didn't bring a gun when I came out for fear of attracting the attention of the zombies." ”

Yin Zhen tried to calm down, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly asked, "Is there a safe place around here?" The lion can't get in? ”

Julia leaned against the wall, she closed her eyes and thought, "...... If you talk about the escape area, it is only the nearby subway entrance. ”

"Subway entrance? Is that place safe? ”

"It's a shelter that Lao Lu and I built in temporarily. However, we haven't been there for a long time. ”

"Anyway, it's safer than it is now, right?"

Julia nodded.

"That's fine." Yin Zhen said, "I'll lure the lion away, Julia, and when the time comes, you run ahead and lead the way, and we'll go to that subway entrance." ”

Julia looked at Yin Zhen in shock: "How do you want to lead away?" ”

"Make a noise, draw that guy's attention to me, and it won't be guarding Lao Lu."

"Are you crazy?!" Julia almost cried, "Can you outrun a lion!" ”

"I'm a fast runner."

"No matter how fast it is, it's not as fast as a lion!"

"Who knows? It was a big thing, and it looked heavy and stupid, and it didn't necessarily run well. ”

Julia stared at him dumbfounded: "...... I said, you haven't watched Animal World?! ”

"I haven't seen it. And I don't feel the need to watch it. Yin Zhen said patiently, "I didn't tell you, my legs and feet are fast, and besides, it's so far away......"

"You think you're Usain Bolt!"

Yin Zhen frowned and said, "I don't know that person!" But I know what I'm capable of, Julia, it's useless for us to fight here, we might as well hurry up! There is no other way now! ”

Julia was still trying to argue, but the two of them heard another lion's roar!

The two of them quietly showed their heads and took a look, and their faces changed in fright! It turned out that the lion was hitting the phone booth again, and this time, it used so much force that it scratched the door of the phone booth and shook it twice in succession, almost falling crooked! Lao Lu inside was holding on with his hands, and a piece of diamond-shaped glass next to him couldn't stand the force, and suddenly cracked, shattering to the ground!

"Quick! It's too late! Yin Zhen pushed Julia hard, "Run!" ”

Then he rushed out of the shadows and yelled at the lion: "Hey! This way! ”

When the lion heard the movement, it immediately stopped impacting, and it quickly turned around and stared at Yin Zhen!

Seeing it turn around, Yin Zhen was pleasantly surprised, but also felt a cold sweat coming out of his back!

He simply picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the lion: "Silly big man! Come on! ”

In an instant, the lion let out a deafening roar!

It leapt to its feet and lunged at them!

"Run!" Julia screamed.

The two of them spread their legs and ran for their lives, and Julia's heart was about to jump out of her chest: Oh my God! A lion! A lion chases her after her!

Something must be wrong!
