The time has arrived in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather has been shrouded in a snowstorm again after a few days of clearness.

Qing Dai massaged her sleeping mother in the ward, and communicated with the people in the hospital about the specific condition, knowing that her mother was stable and stable, she slowly walked out, but she didn't expect that there was a familiar figure standing at the door.

"What's coming? Wasn't it about at the gate of the city? Qing Dai hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and glanced at Xu Sheng's clothes, although there were a few snowflakes in his hair, and his whole body was also prepared to protect himself from the cold, and the stranger was indeed not afraid of the bitter cold, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seeing that you got up early, I can't sleep, so I'll just pick you up." Xu Sheng also took a look at Qing Dai's clothes, now everyone has no heart to dress up, it would be good to be able to keep warm and take care of some neatness, Qing Dai is naturally no exception, but he looked at the woman in front of him, and he just felt that his heart was full of beautiful intoxication: "The current medical resources have been borrowed by the Academy of Sciences, Aunt Hou's condition, I have to delay the treatment, I have reassigned someone to be responsible, don't worry too much." ”

Qing Dai and Xu Sheng walked out of the hallway together, and the cold quickly squeezed the last warmth of the person clean, making the strong and strong people tremble.

She shook her head: "Now my mother is quite safe, and the people who really participated in the Academy of Sciences have also risked their lives, and it is always more urgent, and my mother will not be happy to take this time to change people's lives." ”

Xu Sheng saw that she didn't have much resentment, and he was also much relieved. When he raised his head, his eyes were deeper. The Academy of Sciences has really become bigger this time, completely destroying the normal operation of society, all basic departments are developed for the supernatural, and even the hospital is half empty, and now the situation of waiting in line for doctors is not much more than before the sky changes. It seems that it would be nice to give some warning.

Didn't go far. I saw a heat that the wind and snow couldn't stop even hazy. Hundreds of people were bustling, boiling in the sky, and all kinds of cries came from the front. Qing Dai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this is not an affiliated department of the Academy of Sciences, and it has already spread the scene so far, and it seems that it is still in short supply.

"Isn't the list already set?" Qing Dai didn't quite understand what was happening in front of her.

Xu Sheng squinted his eyes and turned his head and said, "There were a lot of registrations at the beginning." Later, some disputes arose. Some people buy places, and some regret returning them. Anyway, there are more people, and there are always problems. I had to process it in a mobile way, a total of 10,000 people, and it was not carried out at the same time, so it was processed in batches. ”

Qing Dai took a closer look. Sure enough, there are many people who are more like they are here to accompany the trouble, and I'm afraid there are not a few of them. There is only a deep sigh. Comfort is bound to fall, there is still such leisure, and there are frozen bones on the roads in remote places, can the safe zone only nourish these?

Xu Sheng saw Qing Dai's frustration. Slowly spoke: "Do you know the whereabouts of Zhang Hongjun and the others?" I've been out of town for the past few days, and I've had less news. ”

When Qing Dai heard her friend's name, she no longer thought about those pessimistic thoughts. The spirit is also much better: "Of course, they all went according to the plan to continue to pull allies. Fight with the Zhao family. Anyway, since they want to make an appearance, they don't care who is the wall-riding faction and who is doing small movements, and they can talk to all of them. However, listening to Du Qinyue, there are still people who are not very sensible and vainly try to rely on this force to get this piece of fat from the Zhao family. ”

"That's for sure." Xu Sheng hooked the corners of his lips, and all the qi qi was expected: "If it weren't for the Zhao family making such an ugly appearance, it wouldn't have the effect of diverting attention." The more people come to snatch, the more hidden they become. And only with rich interests, there are enough crazy enemies, I hope that the Zhao family will really not get away with it. ”

Qing Dai listened to his cold ridicule, but frowned and said, "Shouldn't Du Qinyue and a few people be restrained?" It's too unscrupulous, and it's easy to get off, right? ”

Xu Sheng sideways to Qingdai to stop the cold wind and snow waves blowing at an intersection, and then he said: "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, both sides are still in the stage of raising layout, and when the big dragon meets, it should be dispersed, and it will be dispersed, since both of us want such a balanced appearance, then there is eighty percent certainty, especially the Zhao family has hooked up with the forces under me." ”

"You?" Qing Dai was finally surprised, and when she raised her head, her eyes were covered by a snowflake.

Xu Sheng brushed her away neatly, helped her pull her hat up, and said with a low smile: "Why, you still don't believe in my strength?" ”

Qing Dai finally felt a little embarrassed, and lowered her eyes to look at the white snow on the ground with no end in sight.

Xu Sheng followed the cold wind at the intersection again, hugged Qingdai in his arms, felt the soft and obedient delicate body, and then said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, I'm back, in addition to my own faction before, I also persuaded a group of people in my hometown that the day you saw my sister appear, she came to hand over." ”

Qingdai thought of that lovely girl, and couldn't help asking, "Why did she come once?" It seems that I like you a lot, but I thought you had some conflict with your family. ”

Xu Sheng sighed: "There is a contradiction, I made a big business for my family back then, even if I repaid the kindness of birth and raising, I ran away directly." When I come back now, I also tacitly do things together, and I can't talk about going home. That girl is a symbol, the entire Xu family is used to hibernation, and she has no choice but to stay at home. ”

Qing Dai suddenly raised her head: "Are you really a traitor?!" ”

Xu Sheng didn't allow Qingdai to break free, so he hugged her harder: "What, listen to what Du Qinyue said?" She must have heard the rumors back then, and it was also one of the news released by our family. ”

Qing Dai laughed, Du Qinyue said very exaggeratedly, I don't know if it was added by herself or by outsiders.

"Since it's just a few small contradictions, it should be okay now, right?" Qing Dai asked unconsciously, in her opinion, this is the child is rebellious when he is young, most young people have similar problems, and parents don't care about this, and the child is also a beloved child. Today's world is chaotic, I don't know how many people want to raise but don't wait, Xu Sheng has already arrived at the door, so shouldn't he go home?

Xu Sheng knew Qing Dai's thoughts as soon as he heard it, but he was silent for a while, and then said: "The rules of the Xu family, when you go out, you only have the family tree name and surname, and the other qiē has nothing to do with the family." Back then, I had done it all. "To get out of that maelstrom. Tired of seeing wealth and glory, tired of endless repetitive disputes, he has long since completely cut off all the ways to go home.

Qing Dai listened to these words, and felt desolate for no reason, which reminded her of the clear young man she saw when she met Xu Sheng for the first time. Extremely clean. But it's also empty to the extreme.

After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he didn't get any response, and was about to look down. But he felt that the person in his arms also stretched out his arm and hugged him. The corners of the lips are hooked, and the wind and snow are all over the sky, but there is a warm world of warmth.

They snuggled up to each other for an hour. Finally came to the high safety zone under the city walls.

Qing Dai looked up, every time she saw the wall. I feel different in my heart. Perhaps it was the conversation just now, she looked at the top of the snow-hazy city wall, but remembered a sentence in Shawshank's redemption: people go from hating the wall to getting used to it. to be inseparable from it. Just like in City C, people were forced to choose to build a city to defend against zombies, but they lost their strength and courage in the face of danger. Come on now. If they were to go along with it, they would be in a similar situation to the Kyoto Safety Zone.

Qing Dai was wandering around these thoughts. Xu Sheng has already gone through the formalities of leaving the city. Of course, it is much easier to get out of the city than to enter the city, and there are very few people to handle it, so there is no need to queue at all, which is in stark contrast to the entry review team on the side. Many people who had just entered the city looked at Qing Dai and Xu Sheng as if they were looking at monsters.

Out at this time? Looking for death?

Qing Dai felt that she had never understood how to read people's faces, and at this moment she also read these two sentences from people's eyes.

She sighed in her heart: Why did you go out? Of course, it is for the Zhao family to do a big thing to add to the chaos.

Out of the safe zone, without the shelter of the city walls, most of the exterior buildings that had been destroyed were completely unable to stop the violent blizzard. Qingdai took out the windproof glasses for mountaineering, which was a little better.

Xu Sheng had already taken out a map and a compass from his backpack. Of course, the map in their hands was not an ordinary map, which had long lost its meaning, but since he knew the deep meaning of the Zhao family's plan, Xu Sheng mobilized all the mobile personnel he could use to explore outside the city one by one, and drew a new map marking, mixed with some investigation reports and inferences about the forces around Kyoto.

Qing Dai waited for a while, and then listened to Xu Shengdao: "Go ahead, there are two large residential areas formed by a small safe area, and the population is also very dense, which can be regarded as an annex of the Kyoto safety zone. ”

Qingdai nodded, and the two held hands and walked into the wind and snow step by step.

After bypassing the small security zone, Xu Sheng made another circle and found a half-collapsed house in the leeward, and then signaled Qingdai to act.

Qing Dai unloaded the big bag on her back, and immediately crossed her legs to settle down, letting go of her perception. Xu Sheng walked to the biggest vent, sat down in the same way, put the bags of the two in front to block them, took out some water and dry food, stuffed them into his arms and warmed them up, now there is no Du Qinyue, and the heating matter is also a lot more troublesome. Xu Sheng was torn between bringing a light bulb next time and being frozen.

Before he could figure it out, Qing Dai's voice had already sounded: "Two kilometers away, there are many plants, although they are flooded by snow, they are basically cold-tolerant plants, and now they are only hibernating, and once the snow melts, they can be restored." In addition to this direction, the other terrain has been severely zhòng collapse, and it is likely to form large-scale rivers, I don't know if it is good or bad, once it is polluted......"

Xu Sheng nodded: "Okay, you mark the location, draw the scale, and let's go back and decide on the specific plan." ”

Qing Dai also knew that there was not much they could do at the moment, they were now the vanguard scouts of the whole operation, and they had investigated all the surrounding areas of Kyoto, so that they could have confidence in the later arrangements. Wearing thick gloves to write, she vaguely remembered the winter exam that year, and her heart swelled up again, and at the same time, she had more hatred for Zhao Xufei and others.

Thanks to the extraordinary physical strength of the Stranger, the two of them trekked through the wind and snow for three full days, and finally surveyed the surrounding area of Kyoto, which included the three annexed security zones, and confirmed the level of key defense, no defense, and light defense, and then returned to the safety zone.

Although the procedures for leaving the city and re-entering the city are less than those for the first time, you also have to go through a physical examination. Qingdai waited speechlessly for a long time, almost wanting to drill a new exit from the hole.

Finally walked out of the pass, and saw that Xu Sheng was already waiting at the small intersection in front, she hurriedly stepped to catch up, and just turned a corner, who knew that the other party's face suddenly changed: "Get out of the way!" ”

Qing Dai has experienced all kinds of things for more than half a year, and her reaction is not slow, and she immediately moved away, but she was still a little worse, only to feel that she was pushed by some huge force, and her whole body was pressed to the ground, but the power on her body trembled a little, almost squeezing Qing Dai's stomach and making her dizzy.

Xu Sheng had already rushed over, but he didn't pay attention to the pressure on Qing Dai, and only ran in another direction.

Qing Dai gasped, and then realized that it was a person who was on herself, as if she was blocking some kind of attack for herself. She struggled to sit up, and then she saw the person who slipped from her body clearly: "Lin Xinran!?" ”

The beautiful woman whose clothes were all scorched was none other than Lin Xinran. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Qingdai anxiously, and found that she was fine, so she closed it with confidence.

Qingdai didn't feel any peace of mind, she helped Lin Xinran up and didn't let her be unconscious: "What's wrong?" How are you feeling right now? "Don't pass out, now that the situation is unknown, will this cold-hearted woman die for herself? Why is it that I am not moved when I think of this, only weird and sensual?

Lin Xinran squirmed her lips, her eyes were half-open, and she was breathing, but unfortunately Qingdai was also a woman, in addition to some appreciation, she was more anxious: "Don't sleep, you can't sleep with your injury, it's freezing this day, it's easy to die!" ”

And at this time, the sound of fighting turned out to be back!

Qing Dai looked up in surprise, and found that Xu Sheng, who had flashed through the mouth of the alley, was fighting and retreating, and it seemed that he was not very able to fight the enemy, so he unconsciously brought the attacker over slowly.

She looked at the battle situation, and there were already some thoughts in her heart, so she lowered her head and woke up Lin Xinran: "Hurry up!" We're going to run! As he spoke, he got up, lifted Lin Xinran up to his body, and then half-dragged him in another direction.

And just as the two of them were about to escape from this visual blind spot and reach the top of the road to escape, a sharp lightning bolt slashed from behind!

Qing Dai felt the power that represented danger, and only had time to release a stream of corpse vines to block it. However, after all, it was a step slower, and the corpse vine did share part of the power of thunder and lightning, and the rattan with thick arms was burned to the ground, and half of the power of thunder and lightning fell on Lin Xinran's vest!

"Poof!" Lin Xinran spurted out a mouthful of blood, not to mention the skin of the torn clothes, and even the inner abdomen also received a great impact, making her almost lose her vitality!

"Lin Xinran!" Qing Dai exclaimed angrily.

And Xu Sheng behind him finally seized the loophole and subdued the man who was exhausted after releasing the ability.

Qing Dai heard the movement, and didn't look back, just looked at Lin Xinran's pale face because of serious injuries, tears welled down, took out the nutritional potion in the backpack, and gave her a few sips, but she was still washed out by the blood. Unable to do so, Qingdai had no choice but to let go of Lin Xinran, walked out of the alley, and asked for help from the people outside.

Unbeknownst to him, there was a sudden change behind him, and three more people in similar clothes to the attacker appeared, running towards here. (To be continued)
