Volume II, The Boundary of the Mirror 214, Fresh Air

On the stairs of the subway station, there is a not very bright light that spreads down the stairs. Although the light is not very bright, because the subway station has been hit for a long time after the light, the light is still very clear from a distance.

There is even a feeling of an exit from another world.

And Li Hao also clearly realized that it was natural light on the ground.

Seriously calculated, it was only two or three days for him and Zhao Ji to come to the 17th Shelter located underground, but all they saw underground were lights, and after a long time, it gave people the feeling that they seemed to be in a trance for a long time. Therefore, even though it was safe in the shelter for the time being, when Li Hao saw the natural light on the stairs, he suddenly felt the urge to simply leave the shelter and go to the ground.

Really, if it weren't for Zhao Ji staying in the shelter, Li Hao really wanted to walk out along the stairs and not come back at this time, no matter what weirdness there was in his shelter, or what secrets he had in the shelter, he didn't have much curiosity to find out.

The world has been destroyed, as long as you can live, it doesn't matter if you wander the world.

He even felt that although it was very dangerous to wander in the apocalypse, and he could even die at any time, it was much freer, and he was a little panicked in the 17th Vault, which was full of weirdness everywhere and had to brainwash in the square every day.

At this moment, he really felt that what he yearned for more was that kind of free and easy life!

However, thinking about it, Li Hao did not reveal his emotions, but took out the walkie-talkie casually and reported the discovery in front of him to his current direct leader No. 5. At this time, the other members of the patrol team also followed, looking at the light at the subway staircase, everyone's expressions were richer.

There is a desire, for normal people, the claustrophobic underground space will always make people feel depressed, and the yearning for the open world outside is an instinct; There are also those who are afraid, and when they see that staircase, they want to turn away at once, as if they are afraid that in the next second they will jump into something terrible at that staircase; Some are very tangled, some are very complicated, and so on.

To Li Hao's surprise, after he reported the situation to No. 5, the order given to him by No. 5 was to let him take a patrol team to inspect outside the subway station.

"What do you think?" The order of the fifth made the entire patrol look very hesitant, and the emotions in almost everyone's eyes were fear and retreat, Li Hao gave Kurosawa a look, and the two of them walked away a few steps, and then Li Hao asked in a low voice.

At this time, it is also an instinct to ask someone, not that Li Hao trusts Kurosawa so much.

Kurosawa shook his head slightly, smiled wryly, and said, "You are the leader here." ”

Li Hao said: "If you go, you must go, if you don't obey the order, you will be punished, and if you are serious, you will be executed, there is nothing to say." I want to know, what do you think? ”

Kurosawa looked back at the others, except for the one who didn't care about the dragon perch, everyone else looked more cringe, he looked at Li Hao again, as if thinking about whether Li Hao was worth it for him to say what he really thought in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I always think this shelter is weird. As I told you yesterday, I think there seems to be some kind of contract between this Vault and the zombies, and Five's order makes me think that the top of the Vault is not a whole inside, and it is clear that Five is not familiar with the surrounding environment. Li Hao nodded, he felt the same way, and said, "I think we should be able to trust each other, after all, we are in the same boat now." ”

While Li Hao said this, he remembered it again. He remembered that Laixi had said that this Kurosawa Akira had temporarily joined the Pure Land Sect with her, and that he had asked Laixi to leave with him, and that Laixi had separated from him just to go back to Kurosawa. But Kurosawa didn't mention the Pure Land Sect at all, nor did he mention it, which made Li Hao actually wary of this person, he didn't say anything, he also wanted to observe quietly to see what kind of medicine Kurosawa was selling in the gourd.

Similarly, Li Hao can feel that Kurosawa has reservations about him, which is not surprising, how can it be so easy to trust each other between two people who were originally strangers? Not only Kurosawa, but also Ryusu, and everyone else. It's true to say that everyone is in the same boat, but in the same boat, do you paddle hard together to escape, or will someone take advantage of the unpreparedness to push everyone else into the water to stay on the boat longer?

That's hard to say.

Li Hao was originally just a humble writer living at the bottom of society, with normal views and no dark heart, but he never hesitated to speculate on people's hearts and humanity with the greatest malice.

Not to mention who is worthy of one's complete trust in such an apocalypse?

Even if it's Zhao Ji, didn't he hand him over to the military? Although if he didn't make this choice, he would probably hang up directly at the time, and he didn't seem to suffer any big losses later, and even if Zhao Ji sold him, the starting point was to save the world, but this kind of teammate who compares the Holy Mother, even if he doesn't subjectively want to betray you, the ability to dig a hole is by no means extraordinary.

They have experienced being on the island together, being abandoned by Boss Wei, living together on that abandoned cruise ship for a period of time, and experiencing devastating earthquakes and tsunamis together, it is a fateful friendship, if they can't believe it, there is no one to trust. But they're not around.

Never mind...... This is the end of the world, and thinking too much about it will not do you any good.

Li Hao reminded himself, and then said to everyone: "Everyone saw the end of disobeying the order yesterday, everyone followed me and went out to have a look." ”

With that, he jumped off the track and walked along the track to the staircase of the subway station.

He didn't look back until he reached the top of the stairs, but when he got to the top of the stairs, he looked back and found that all the people were following. The danger ahead is unknown, but the danger of execution is real, and this multiple-choice question is not difficult at all.

Walking out along the stairs, the first thing Li Hao felt was the fresh air.

Although the ventilation conditions in the underground shelter are good, no matter what, it is also underground, and it must not be comparable to the natural wind on the ground. Moreover, when they walked out of the subway station, it was daylight outside, and the natural light was more real than the lights underground.

Originally, Li Hao was worried that the sun would be very dazzling, but there was no sunshine, and it was raining outside, and he didn't know if it was raining again, or if he hadn't heard of the rain before. In short, in the unusually quiet world, the sound of rain is very distinct, and the rain curtain in the sky also makes them feel a coolness clearly.

But no one is in the mood to enjoy the scenery on a rainy day, standing in the canopy of the subway station, and looking at it, it looks like an ocean outside the subway station, and the rain has flooded the entire neighborhood. Many cars parked on the side of the road were soaked in rainwater, at least up to the windows, and not deeper, and the water would overflow the subway platform and pour into the stairs.

But these scenes are the most ordinary in the apocalypse, and there is nothing special about them.

But look at it again, it's very unusual.

As far as Li Hao's line of sight could see, there were plants, wild grasses, vines, and some tall trees that Li Hao couldn't name. The weeds, when they were as tall as a man, were soaked in the rain like reeds; The vines, which covered the walls of large and small buildings, peeked into the windows; The tall trees, with their huge root systems, pried open patches of the ground, and the footbridges were covered with thick branches.

That's definitely not right.

Li Hao clearly remembered that after he came to this world, the virus began to break out and brought the human world to the border of doomsday, and even if he relaxed the time a little, it would only be a month and a half. How can a plant grow like this in a month and a half?

Although he couldn't tell what was going on, Li Hao still felt a deep chill spread from the soles of his feet all the way up, and finally drowned his whole person in an unknown fear.

Obviously, the other people were also extremely shocked, such a sight made people panic when they saw it.

"I see." A thin man in the team suddenly said: "I used to work in the city's planning institute, which was responsible for the evaluation and planning of the old city renovation. Suzaku City is a super metropolis that has developed at a super fast pace in the past 20 years, but there are also some old towns that cannot keep up with the pace of development and are in a state of idleness. If my memory is correct, this area is one of those areas that was originally planned to be demolished and rebuilt, but was later shelved for various reasons. At that time, reconstruction work had already begun, people had moved away, and the main area was fenced off, but it was then stopped. ”

Li Hao nodded and asked, "How long has it been suspended?" ”

The thin man said, "I can't remember the specifics, but it's estimated that it will be two or three years." ”

Two or three years may not seem to be enough for the trees to grow so big, not enough for the vines to cover the outer walls of the buildings, but it makes more sense than a month and a half. Moreover, if this area had not been inhabited for two or three years, it would be very safe now.

Obviously, Li Hao was not the only one who thought of this aspect, and one of the fat men wearing glasses showed a relaxed expression, stretched his waist, and said: "Then if this is the case, the shelter should be able to move to this ground, to be honest, I am claustrophobic, I can't see the sun underground, and I am depressed." ”

Others chimed in, discussing the possibility of moving the vault to the surface.

But Li Hao always felt that something was wrong, he believed that his intuition would not be wrong, this seemingly calm abandoned area must hide some unknown danger. He reported the situation to Five, who didn't say anything more than told them to return.

"Roger." Li Hao turned off the walkie-talkie and said, "All of them, today's patrol mission has been completed, and now we will return." ”

"That's it?" The fat man said meaningfully, "I want to breathe a little more fresh air." After speaking, he took two steps forward, stood in the rain with his arms outstretched, and posed a very literary pose, just like taking a photo.

But in the next second, a splash suddenly appeared in the stagnant water in front of him.
