Chapter XVIII

The two hurriedly filled their stomachs, and simply cleaned up and left. Before leaving, Lu Jianian also left a few pieces of money and a note on the table.

"When did you write it?" Joellan saw his movements, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's when Little Joe didn't notice." Lu Jianian looked at her with a smile, and the light in his eyes shattered a room of brilliance.

Qiao Erlan watched him quietly and did not speak.

But Lu Jianian didn't linger here, patted Qiao Erlan's shoulder and walked in front and left.

Along the way, Joellan wondered where Anzi would hide. She knew that Anzi must have been seen when he was with her, so now he was in a dangerous situation as well. Joellan, who was preoccupied, didn't notice that the man who had been holding her hand stopped, and she hit him straight on his broad back.

"Hmm," Joellan rubbed her bumping forehead, frowning as she looked ahead.

It turned out to be a fork in the road. The road leads to the outside of the town on one side, but to the ruins of the town on the other. On the left is the safe world outside, and on the right is a narrow winding path full of dangers leading to the unknown.

It turned out that today the two of them went around and returned to their original place not far away.

"Which way are we going?" Lu Jianian threw the problem to Qiao Erlan with a grim expression. Although he knew which one she would choose, it was better to ask her opinion.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Erlan thought for a while, "Can't you sense Brother Anqi anymore?" "In the past few hours, it has been Lu Jianian's position in the position of the people of the Emperor ** team and An Qi, so that they can be safe. It can even be so leisurely under the noses of the enemy...... Play.

Lu Jianian nodded, he didn't think there was anything about it. A lot of the time he has something to say.

Hearing him say this, Qiao Erlan thought carefully for a while: judging from Anqi's appearance in the past few days, he still cares about himself very much, and he comes to visit him very punctually and early every day. And last time, he didn't care about his own safety and blocked a shot for himself, which is probably the truth of adversity...... I think of my friend who was far away on the first planet...... Sansa clearly did not have any ordinary affection for him. Whether it's for Sansa or for his kindness to him, you should do your best to find him!

Qiao Erlan touched his forehead with his hand, his small nose took a deep breath of air, and pointed to the road on his right: "Ruins, this road." ”

Of course, Lu Jianian didn't know that Qiao Erlan had thought so much in a short period of time, although he didn't get along with her for a long time, only half a month, but the principle that she said was what she said has always been engraved in his heart. Wherever you want to go, you will follow it unconditionally.

"Okay." Although it's looking for that ill-intentioned man. Lu Jianian ignored the sour feelings in his heart and opened the way in front.

And Wen Xiu, who interrogated the townspeople in the town, was still unhurried and sipping tea.

The third captain had already patrolled the entire town with two squads, and was about to return to no avail, when suddenly one of the two people who were arrested by his subordinates was wounded, and the two comrades had escaped from the town.

"In which direction did they flee?" There was a faint excitement in the eyes of the third captain, and his favorite thing was to abuse those who were injured. Blood dripped, ears wailed, and the whole person was refreshed to think about.

……

The afternoon sun was not as fierce as it was at noon, and the two of them were not too hot. The road leading to the ruins of the town is long and narrow, and can only accommodate two people walking on it at the same time. There are unknown wildflowers and weeds on the side of the road, and next to him is Xiao Qiao, who is happy to him, Lu Jianian is distracted and thinks: Actually, this is not bad, as long as Xiao Qiao doesn't know about it......

A spirit, even thinking about it is not good.

It's better not to think about it first, Lu Jianian thought a little ostrich.

After walking for about half an hour, he relied on Lu Jianian's strong perception three times on the way to safely evade several groups of soldiers. In fact, it's not that Lu Jianian can't kill them, but he can't kill them. The death of these soldiers is likely to attract other soldiers, and it will be difficult to get out with Joellan, who has zero combat effectiveness.

Finally, I came to the ruins.

The ruins are surrounded by several tall and towering trees, gray-brown mud and stone bricks, which are broken. Tender weeds grew in the crevices, under the walls, and on the ground of the ruins. But it wasn't as impactful as the fallen gate.

This is clearly ruins...... It's really an exaggeration to say that it is a ruin.

This ruin is not very large from the outside, about 300 square meters, but Qiao Erlan remembered what Zhu Mei introduced to herself: this ruin has a basement......

"Let's go inside." Qiao Erlan endured the little chill in her heart and turned her head to say.

Lu Jianian seemed to know her careful thoughts: "It's dark here, let me walk in front." ”

"It's fine." Joellan was a little scared, but she didn't twist too much, and went down the steps he had given.

"If I don't feel wrong, Anqi and Miss Zhu are inside." Lu Jianian picked up the half-human-tall weeds as he walked.

Going deeper and deeper, Qiao Erlan couldn't help but complain: Is it really a ruin? Even the basic protection work has not been done.

"So?"

"I can feel Miss Zhu's faint life slowly passing by." Lu Jianian continued without emotion.

Qiao Erlan paused and didn't say anything more.

Lu Jianian also thoughtfully left time for her to buffer. What he knows is that for human beings, life is the only reincarnation, from the organic combination of dead matter into life forms, and then at a certain moment, from birth to death. Although they are short-lived, they can possess and pursue many precious people, things, and honors. Unlike the long-lived and pitiful robots, the only thing they have is the so-called lifespan that is endlessly requisitioned by humans.

Darkness gradually invaded Qiao Erlan's vision, but Lu Jianian, who was in front of him, had night vision. The two of them made their way to the basement door without stumbling.

The above-ground entrance to the basement is similar to the layout of Jollan's underground laboratory, except that there is a large window opening that can directly look down.

Qiao Erlan looked at Lu Jiannian, and then remembered to ask uncertainly: "Are they inside?" ”

"Well, I've already determined that Miss Zhu was wounded by a gunshot wound, and they just entered here from another import."

…… No wonder I didn't smell blood.

"Let's go down then."

Just as Lu Jianian was about to go down first, a figure suddenly came out. Looking at the figure, it should be an adult man.

Lu Jianian put all his energy on the exploration route, and he didn't notice it for a while, although he had already pulled Qiao Erlan to his side as fast as he could, but he still let Qiao Erlan get shot in the arm. Qiao Erlan snorted in pain, and was pulled by him and threw herself into Lu Jiannian's arms.

"Let's go." Lu Jianian picked up Qiao Erlan and jumped out of the basement as fast as he could, ignoring the stairs on the side.
