Time: 10 a.m., June 17, 2015

Location: Monitoring Room of X City No. 2 Primary School

Looks like we're really in trouble this time. I held the handle of the umbrella tightly and watched the man's every move.

"I don't ask for your life, but I want to ask you, do you have food in your bag?" The man said, retracting the fruit knife. I thought about it for a moment and replied, "Yes, yes, it's only enough for me to eat for three days." "Three days!" The man was surprised. But he changed his face again, and said slyly: "In that case, I don't want your life, I hate trouble, leave your bag, and then you can roll through the window!" ”

I looked at my backpack, gritted my teeth, threw my bag at him, and ran away quickly. There was constant shouting and scolding from behind. Before leaving school, I didn't forget to take a backpack in a classroom and walk away.

"It's really bad luck today, it looks like I'll have to be more careful in the future." I blamed myself. Let's see if there's anything to eat at the nearby store, and I immediately thought about it.

When I approached the nearby street, I found that there seemed to have been an exchange of fire, and there were corpses of soldiers in City X and City Z. I approached the corpses of the soldiers in City Z, and then looked at the corpses of the soldiers in City X, and found that the soldiers in City Z were indeed better equipped. I took off the military backpack of the soldiers in Z City, but I didn't think it was appropriate to think about it, so I only took the contents of the backpack. The backpack contains a simple health kit as well as a tactical saber with a blood slot.

Almost all of the nearby shops were ransacked, and more than half of the shelves were gone, leaving the rest of the food either unpalatable or about to expire. I picked a few of them, and found that there was only enough for me to eat one and a half of them. However, it was already good to have food at this point, so I reluctantly put these things in my backpack.

Then I couldn't rest, and it was already past 11 noon, nearly 12 o'clock. I had to find a place to stay by 2pm. Otherwise, it won't be easy to look for after 2 o'clock, and my physical function will drop dramatically.

My next stop was X-City Cinema City, which is close to the suburbs, and there are quite a few commercial hotels there, and most importantly there is a large supermarket, so I set my second target at X-City Cinema.

There was a distance between the two places, and I kept hearing the sound of firefights coming from all over City X, so I walked cautiously all the way.

X City State Shopping Plaza.

At this time, the place was already full of flames, but there were still two groups of people stationed here, and the clothes of both sides were already in tatters, and it seemed that both sides were very embarrassed.

"I said Director Zhang, you are really good! Don't say it's mine. The leader of the Z City side panted into the walkie-talkie.

"You're not bad, who provided the sophisticated equipment of your troops? It doesn't look like it's my Celestial Empire's plate style. The man who seemed to be called Director Zhang replied.

"That's not something you can know. But it's already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather is not suitable for our brothers to fight, so how about we stop fighting now? The leader of the Z City side said.

Director Zhang thought for a while, nodded, and said loudly: "Deputy Dong, I hope you don't let go of the cold gun when we leave." With that, he instructed the soldiers of City X to retreat.

"Hmph, that's the only way you would do that, right?" The person known as Deputy Dong snorted and also instructed the soldiers of Z City to withdraw. Leave no trace. There were only wounds all over the ground.

"It's kind of human." Director Zhang paused sideways, and no one could see the emotion in his eyes that were covered by sunglasses. After only a short pause, he continued to lead the soldiers of X City to retreat.

At 1 p.m., at the gate of X-City Cinema City.

"It's finally here!" I wiped a handful of sweat from my head. It seems that this place has not been affected by the war, but with such a blessed land of supplies, why didn't the army do anything about it? I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't continue to think about it, and walked to a nearby commercial hotel.

There seems to be people living here in the neighborhood. I saw that there was someone near the hotel, and I didn't seem to be a bad person, so I went up and talked.

"Hey! Is this uncle, that hotel now occupied? I ran out of breath in front of him, which was about 100 meters from the hotel.

He frowned and looked me up and down, as if he saw that I was just an ordinary junior high school student, so he asked me, "It's a time of danger when there has just been a war, and everyone wants to find a safe place to hide." But I guess that place might not be suitable for you to live in, so you might as well find another place. He said to me kindly, and it seemed that his tone was not deceiving me.

"Can you tell your name?" I asked him.

"Wanyang." The man said.

"Then Uncle Wanyang, let me ask you, why do you say that place is not suitable for me to live in?" I asked him, confused. He looked at me, touched the sparse black stubble on his chin, thought for a moment, and said to me: "I'll tell you this, there are actually troops stationed in City X, but there is only a small team, so they allow us to live there, but believe me, it's definitely not safe there, so please leave here, because of kindness, I told you, but you don't need to know that much, and you can't know." Hurry up and get out. With that, he immediately turned and walked away, never looking back at me again.

"Why is it dangerous, isn't it inhabitable?" I thought to myself, but I followed his advice and turned around and walked to a large shopping mall not far away.

From here, it's just a matter of crossing the road and turning a corner.

I saw that the door of the large mall was open, so I didn't go in, but chose to enter the small shop on the opposite side of the road. The door of the shop appears to be deeply locked. I took the needle out of my military equipment and learned the skill of lockpicking because I had been locked out of my house before. Now it can finally come in handy.

I licked my lips and concentrated, and it didn't take much effort to open the door, and as soon as I opened it, I put the lock away, and when I entered, I immediately locked the door backwards.

I turned on the lights and found that most of the things had actually been taken from me. But there's enough space for me to live alone, and there's an attic with three small rooms on it, all of which seem to be bedrooms. I walked to one of the rooms that was brighter than the others, and found a note on the bed.

It reads: My daughter Yang Yang, I went to W City to do errands, if you see this note, please look at your pillow, there is 500 yuan pressed underneath, this is for your birthday, I regret not being with you, but please forgive me. Father

I couldn't help blinking, and when I looked at the note, I suddenly thought of my father, and my eyes reddened, so I put the note back in its place and silently closed the door as if no one had ever entered.

I decided that I would sleep in the second room, which was well ventilated and facing the sun, which was suitable for me. This shop also has supplies, and the bathroom and kitchen can also work normally. Looks like this is my temporary stay.

After that, I just had a casual meal. In order to keep my calorie consumption low, I just relaxed and lay down in bed, looked at my watch, and it was 2:09 p.m.

I closed my eyes silently.
