After replenishing the necessities at the warehouse, we didn't stay long, planning to enter F City early while it was still dark.

Xiaomo had already packed his luggage and was waiting for us next to his car with his suitcase, and his expression had returned to his original expressionless face, as if the emotional loss of control in the reception room had not happened at all.

Limber was afraid that our car would not be safe, so he refused to let us drive the original two cars, so he insisted on equipping us with two bulletproof vehicles for anti-terrorism purposes, which were ordered as soon as the virus broke out, and were directly airlifted from Germany to prevent riots. It also helped us carry the replenished supplies to the trunk.

The two cars were shiny, there was not a single scratch, and they looked very expensive, so I didn't dare to drive them, so I handed them over to Dean Lu for the whole process. Ono climbed directly onto the roof of the car and gave up his seat to Momo very gentlemanly.

I sat with Mo. I glanced at Xiao Ye's hanging "tail" outside the window, and couldn't help but ask the question that had been hidden in my heart: "Xiao Mo, don't you see Xiao Ye, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Why be afraid? He's a good guy. Xiao Mo's natural tone, his expression still did not fluctuate.

"I mean, he's infected...... And it's already in a mutated form. I was surprised that you were willing to let him into your house at first. I glanced at her. As I thought before, their house is so well equipped to prevent the infected from attacking and spreading the virus to their homes, right? Although I think that the contagious ability of the virus in Ono's body should be suppressed now, and it should no longer have that terrible lethality, Xiaomo doesn't know about it yet.

"I'm sure you two won't bring such a dangerous person to me, so he should be safe." Xiaomo still looked expressionless, and his eyes were even a little empty when he stared at me, but the words he said moved me very much.

I reached out and took her hand and squeezed it very kindly. hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I still have to confess one thing to you," he said, glanced at the "Dad" sitting in the front row, and secretly made a "shh

After Xiao Mo saw it, his already serious expression became even more cold and hard. She added another line underneath and gave me back her phone.

I was curious to take it and look at it. This line of words feels like Xiaomo's heart, warm and soft: "I hope they can get better soon." ”

I smiled and nodded to her, and took her hand again, feeling that the world was still beautiful. At least the people around me are still there, at least their essence hasn't changed.

"It's time to get to the city border. Be careful for the few of you in the back row, there may be an infected approaching and attacking. Dean Lu's voice was very serious, and I hurriedly closed the window to let Ono come in. It's better to squeeze a little than to get him hurt, after all, we can't predict how many infected people will be inside.

There is not a single person at the city border. The rough, apparently improvised iron gate blocked the intersection and blocked our view of the situation on the other side.

The uncle suddenly ran out of the passenger seat of another car, quickly rushed to the iron door, knocked on the door, and quickly ran back to the car like a ghost.

After a long time, there was still no movement on the other side of the door. Could it be that City F has also become a dead city like City D? Dean Lu thought about it and ventured to honk his horn at the iron gate, but found nothing but startling a sparrow.

Just when we were poor in donkey skills, Xiaomo suddenly turned his head to look at me: "Nuomi, what about the key I gave you in the days of the holiday?" ”

"What's the key?" My second monk was confused.

"It's the one I gave you. Didn't she give it to you? Xiaomo blinked her eyes and tilted her head, matching her expressionless face, revealing an inexplicable humor.

It occurred to me - could she mean the key she got in the library locker?! If this key was just handed over to me by Xiao Mo, then why did An An choose to complete the transfer in such a complicated way......?

I pulled the key out of my carry-on bag: "Is this it?" ”

"Yes." Xiaomo nodded, took it, and said to Dean Lu: "Uncle, please drive the car to the side ramp, I know another way in." ”

Under Xiaomo's guidance, the two cars rushed diagonally from the side path, drove along a small river, and drilled through a tunnel like a bomb shelter, and finally stopped in front of a thick concrete wall. I saw that the wall seemed to be connected to a strange building.

Xiao Mo pointed to the city wall and introduced us: "This is the former city hall, which has been shelved here since it was abandoned. Later, with the development of trade, the urban center of F City gradually moved south, and it gradually became a part of the border. After that, she took out the key, "My uncle is the mayor of F City, and the key to the door of the old city hall has been kept by the mayor of each term. When he was drinking at my house that day, I secretly printed this key with plasticine, and used it as a template for Limber to make a copy of it for me, because I really liked this kind of old, eerie building that had been uninhabited for a long time. ”

"So...... We're going to get in here on foot now? "My eyes widened, after all, I had never heard of a city hall setting up a driveway in a building......

"Yes, now everyone should organize the necessary items, and it's best for everyone to have a self-defense item with them. This is the only entrance we can choose from now...... If nothing else, it should be the only exit you can choose to enter later. Xiaomo nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of heaviness.

After getting out of the car and informing the other car of the current situation, we all started to repack our bags. After all, if you only walk on your own, your luggage must be streamlined, and you can't save a lot of unnecessary things. So as not to waste your physical strength on your back and expose yourself to danger inside.

I couldn't help but ask Xiaomo strangely while cleaning up: "Such an important key, why did you let An An hand it over to me at that time?" It's useless for me to take it, if you want to give it, you should also give it to pieces, she's the one who lives in F City......"

Xiao Mo quickly and decisively picked out his belongings, and said to me without raising his head: "At the dormitory party before the holiday, when we exchanged gifts, you gave me the first manuscript fee you got in your life. And I only gave you a normal gift, so I've always wanted to make up something for you. ”

"So you made up this key?! But the manuscript fee is not much, and the value of the key you made up is too high, right? This building used to be the city hall...... "It's still hard for me to understand.

"No, they're worth the same." Xiaomo packed up, raised his head and looked at me deeply, "The manuscript fee is very important to you, and this key is also very important to me." Strictly speaking, I earned it, and what you wrote after staying up late for a whole month, I just exchanged it with a slight move of plasticine. Actually, you've always wanted to use it to buy a new phone, right? But I was in a bad mood that day, and you gave it to me with the gift you had prepared almost without thinking, just to make me happy - you never know what it meant to me at the time. After saying that, he smiled rarely, and there seemed to be a soft light in his eyes, "Except for my family, you are the first person who can detect the change in my mood." ”

I was a little embarrassed to be asked, and quickly lowered my head and pretended to pack up my things - in fact, I really didn't think much about it at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to what happened, just thinking about buying a new phone to slow down. I didn't expect that such a meager manuscript fee would make her remember it for so long.
