The next day, the wind and rain had already subsided a lot, but the water did not subside much. Xiao Nan followed Miao Feng to the street outside the gate wearing long rain boots, and after walking a short distance, he already saw the "deep water area" in front of him.

Miao Feng pushed his kayak with a cart, wanted to go rowing on the street, and asked Xiao Nan if he wanted to go.

In fact, Xiao Nan wanted to row a little bit on the street, but it was boring to think about it carefully, so Miao Feng stupidly wanted to play this kind of thing that only children were interested in.

And the water in the streets is so dirty, it's all muddy.

So he declined Miao Feng's invitation, and watched Miao Feng get on the boat with Steward Yu and row towards the depths of the street. It's like going on an adventure deep into the Amazon rainforest.

Luckily, the temperature is cool now, and it's hard to go without electricity for a few days in the summer or winter.

Xiao Nan dragged his prosthetic leg back to the Shen family's mansion, only to see that Professor Xiao seemed to be a different person, in the past, he was busy burying himself in various documents and topics all day long, but now he even put on an apron and cooked with Shen Jun.

For Xiao Nan, he can only pass the time by reading books.

"Er Nan, there is so much water outside, you don't have anything to do and run outside. Beware of slips and electric shocks. Professor Xiao reminded.

"You...... What do you plan to do in the future? Xiao Nan sat in the living room and asked him.

"Of course, it's to enjoy life, I used to spend too little time on Shen Jun, and now I know that the happiness I should pursue is not those vast piles of old papers. It's the people around me. In the future, I plan to travel around the world with Shen Jun. Professor Xiao said, "Shen Jun also plans to hand over the company to a dedicated management team, so that we all have free time." ”

"You'd better wait for me to solve the crisis of destruction before you go. The time on our two sides is not the same, maybe I went to the Republic of China, and when I come back again, it will only be a few days for you. Xiao Nan said, "You should stay here honestly in the past few months." Help me refine the shelter perfectly. ”

"Okay, no matter what, I'll help you fulfill your wish first." Professor Xiao smiled and brought the freshly made salad to the living room and placed it on the coffee table in front of Xiao Nan.

"I hope you can return safely from the 'Republic of China'. We will always be here for you. This big house will always be open for you, because you are our family, and Miao Feng.

Of course, whether you succeed or not, even if the world becomes the end of the world as you say, we are waiting for you to come back at any time and then live with you.

Because, we are family. ”

As he spoke, he handed Xiao Nan a fork and told him to taste the fruit salad he had just made.

At this time, Shen Jun was screaming in the kitchen again, not knowing what was wrong, Professor Xiao hurriedly went back to check. It turned out that something was hot in the microwave oven, and black smoke came out, so they quickly cut off the power and ran out of the door with a pot of black things.

Butler Yu had to take care of the rest of the housework in the kitchen.

In order to save electricity and fuel, only the kitchen and living room are now lit. Butler Yu cleaned up the kitchen waste and went out with a black garbage bag.

However, not long after they all went out, a cold wind blew in with snowflakes.

Xiao Nan stood up a little surprised and walked towards the door.

When he reached the entrance, the lights behind him suddenly went out.

And the door also closed with a bang, Xiao Nan turned the doorknob, but he couldn't turn it open.

This forced him to walk to the side of the windowsill and try to tap on the window to attract the attention of outsiders, but when he saw the situation outside, he froze.

The doors and windows, which were originally intact, turned out to be broken, and the cold wind kept blowing in, and there was a gray snow scene outside, with gray snowflakes slowly drifting, and the earth was covered with gray snow.

Gunshots rang from the large iron gate in the courtyard not far from the door, which was supposed to be a wrought iron fence that had been covered by electricity and barbed wire.

The iron door was slammed open, and I saw Butler Yu, who was wearing a down jacket, shouting, "Mr. Shen! Professor! Get in! ”

After Shen Jun and Professor Xiao, who were also wearing down jackets, ran into the gate panting, Steward Yu locked the door from the outside.

"Butler Yu!!"

"Less than!! What are you doing! The two men shouted.

"If no one leads those monsters away, then everyone won't survive." Steward Yu said outside the door through the crack in the iron door, "This is my last professional rule, if the food in the shelter is used by two people, it will last much longer than if it is used by three."

I am very honored to serve the Shen family. ”

After that, he took off his down jacket, and under the down jacket was the butler suit uniform he liked to wear, only to see him bow deeply to Shen Jun and Professor Xiao, and then turned around and left firmly.

"Less than!!" Professor Xiao wanted to rush out to stop him, but Shen Jun grabbed him and covered his mouth.

"We ...... Fast...... Get in...... You can't die yet...... I have to wait for Er Nan to come back......" Shen Jun's choked words couldn't be finished.

"Everybody...... It's all dead......" Professor Xiao leaned on Shen Jun's body and covered his mouth with his hand.

"And ...... Ernan...... He's going to be back...... You want to live...... Wait until he ...... alive," Shen Jun dragged him into the house with tears on his face.

However, when they opened the door, Xiao Nan only heard the sound of the door, and did not notice that the door was opened.

It's just that the moment he turned his gaze like this, when Xiao Nan looked out the window again, the scene outside seemed to become even more dilapidated.

The snow was heavier, and on the steps of the gate, two men wrapped in blankets sat side by side.

They seemed to be chatting, and the content of the conversation was some warm memories and laughter from time to time.

Yet their hair has turned gray.

I couldn't see their faces, but I could tell from their slightly old voices that they were Shen Jun and Professor Xiao.

"Ah Jun, you say, will Er Nan come back this year? According to the previous calendar, it's almost time for the Spring Festival, right? Professor Xiao said, "Sometimes, I even worry about whether Er Nan will ......."

"Nonsense! He must be alive! He must be alive and well, even if he can't come back, he will definitely not know where to live in the world. You see, thanks to him, we are alive until now. Shen Jun said.

"We're old...... Professor Xiao said, as he spoke, he began to cough violently, and Shen Jun smoothed his back for a while before he could insist on speaking: "I'm afraid...... I can't stay with you for long...... Ah Jun, promise me, even if I'm gone, you'll have to wait for Er Nan to come back, okay? Don't let me go......"

"What stupid are you talking about...... I will definitely fulfill your wish, I will wait for Er Nan to go home......" Shen Jun seemed to want to laugh out loud to comfort him, but his voice was so tired and trembling, "You won't leave me, Anan." ”

At this time, someone on the street outside the iron fence staggered and dragged an iron box to escape here, and when the two of them saw it, Shen Jun hurriedly signaled Professor Xiao not to move, and he went to open the iron gate.

It was a middle-aged man covered in blood who fell to the ground as soon as he entered the iron gate, and muttered in a half-unconscious voice, "Please...... Help me...... They...... Soon it will be ...... Chase after ......"

Even if he was unconscious, he was unwilling to let go of the hand holding the iron box.

Originally, there were almost no monsters in this area - probably because the monsters thought that the humans in this place were extinct, so they dared to come out to see the scenery, and they didn't want this foreign man to attract monsters again.

Professor Xiao walked over with difficulty and helped the man up, but a photo of him, his wife, and a pair of children fell out of the man's pocket.

Professor Xiao looked at the man, then at Shen Jun, and then said, "Ah Jun, I'm sorry for you." I think it's time for us to give up the opportunity to live to young people. Our food reserves are enough for him to survive, right? And this gate has long been rusted and broken, and those monsters are constantly evolving...... I'm afraid I won't be able to stop them...... They will not rest without getting living creatures...... Go in, I'm here. ”

Then he coughed violently.

"I'm with you." Shen Jun put his arm around his shoulder, and then said with a smile on his face, "Wait for me!" Wait for me! ”

He was so old, but now he was walking vigorously, and he sent the middle-aged man to their shelter with his large iron box, and locked the door of the shelter.

Only then did he come over panting.

"Old...... It's really old...... What kind of work was this when you were young......" Shen Jun thumped his waist and came to Professor Xiao, and sat with him again on the steps in front of the gate of the mansion.

Just like they did in previous years, every year they would come out for a while to sit and look at the scenery to see if it was just right that Er Nan would come back.

Their old hands were clenched tightly together at this time.

"The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you, Anan." Shen Jun said suddenly, tears continued to slide down from his happy face, "Until now, that mood has not changed for a moment." ”

"I know. Me too. Professor Xiao rested his head on his shoulder.

At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps was approaching, and those spider-like mechanical bodies, huge and terrifying and flexible, gathered more and more.

Their sharp tentacles cut through the rusted iron fence and rushed in with impunity. Because biothermal energy was detected, he walked towards the two without hesitation.

The hands of the two men clasped tighter.

"In this way, it can be regarded as growing old together." Professor Xiao said with a smile.

"In the next life, in life and in every life, it will be ......" Shen Jun turned his head to look at him affectionately.

It's just that the monster didn't give him a chance to finish.

The cold machinery brutally tore at the flesh and blood of the human, but because the two hands were too tight to separate,

So

Even though the rest of the body was torn to pieces, the two tightly clasped hands miraculously survived and landed on the falling snow on the steps.

Xiao Nan, who was watching this scene with wide eyes on the windowsill, covered his mouth, and his vision was blurred by tears.

Originally......

If you don't come back......

If you fail yourself......

If you don't save this world......

So......

Professor Siu and Shen Jun...... They......

I've been waiting for myself...... Come back......

Even if he finally couldn't help but sob, the monsters seemed to be as if he didn't exist, like a "ghost" who could only look out the window.

When he wiped his tears and raised his head again, the canopy outside the window was slightly clear, and the blood stains had been covered by the university.

The rescued man stumbled out of the shelter, he finally found his cherished family photo under the snow, and then, by the door, he found the two clenched hands that had been frozen to blue and purple for an unknown number of days.

He knelt in front of the door, covering his mouth and crying silently.

In these desperate last days, there is not even the right to cry out loud.

He buried those two hands, and after bowing deeply towards the small tomb, he returned to the shelter again.

In front of Xiao Nan, the time of all the scenery seemed to be suddenly accelerating, the fence was rapidly accelerating and decaying, and the scenery outside the house was rapidly decaying.

Until the old door of the sanctuary suddenly opened.

The middle-aged man was already showing signs of aging at this time, and it should have been many years later.

It's just that he is followed by two children!!

The man waved lovingly to the children and said, "Take care of my sister!" Autumn fruit! ”

"Daddy! You must come back soon! The little girl hugged her father affectionately and said expectantly.

The man gently touched her head: "I will definitely come back as soon as possible!" Chunhua! Survivors will definitely be found! ”

With that, he reluctantly waved goodbye to his children, and stepped out of the courtyard with his backpack on his back, and walked out into the street.

Xiao Nan finally couldn't help choking up this time, it was-

Chunhua and Autumn Fruit!

He saw it, and saw the beginning of the journey of the robot brother and sister!

It's here!

It is the unswerving love of mankind!

Here the final ...... was ignited

Call for the cause and effect of Fuxi!
