Chapter IV: Outside the Safety Zone
Before Chi Yu was about to be killed by her protective suit, her blind date finally slowed down the car, and for a long time, she was full of flowers in front of her, lying motionless on the seat, like a salted fish who had lost her dreams.
"Where's this?" She put one hand over her mask almost above her forehead, trying to pull her senses back from the panic. Reason told her that it should still be near her house, but imagination cried no! You've passed through the wormhole, this must be another world!
Zhang Xizhong said: "This is a wormhole. ”
Chi Yu: "......"
I don't have to be so adaptable, I just want to have fun! She touched her hat, still there, holding the handle of the roof of the car and barely sitting up straight, Zhang Xizhong in the front row turned on the atmosphere light in the car, and her vision brightened up soothingly, feeling that her eyes were open, and when Chi Yu raised her head, she saw the starlight on the roof of the car, and she was slightly stunned. Her eyes reflected the light of this artificially made starry sky, which seemed to be engraved in the hearts of the two of them as time passed. "There's no way," Zhang Xizhong said, "it's really hard to drive a convertible to see the stars these days, and I haven't seen the stars for a long time." ”
A "Your Meituan takeaway is about to time out" interrupted them, and at this time, Chi Yu's ears gradually converged into the sound of the motorcycle outside. It's too close, and it's not a small car, and driving this kind of motorcycle through zombie-infested streets requires an exoskeleton. Zhang Xizhong explained that these are delivery workers who risk their lives to support the operation of the entire city, and private cars on the road will let them follow behind or to the side of the car, helping them quickly cross the danger zone and reach the underground tunnel.
Chi Yu rolled down the window and greeted the people outside. The little brother who was riding on the motorcycle only showed a pair of eyes, saw her, and saluted with two fingers in front of his forehead. "Have a nice trip!" She said.
"Thank you, and so are you." The delivery man then shook off their protection, increased the throttle, and disappeared into the deep black tunnel with a roar.
"Do you call this tunnel a wormhole?"
"Yes, it's very vivid, the construction team dug up the original railroad tracks and platforms, and reconnected the various parts of the city." The blind date seems to be very proud of this project, it sounds like her own industry, Chi Yu heard it somewhat, but she didn't ask deeply, the wind whistling in the depths of the tunnel always reminded her of the days when she waited for the subway to go to the station from here, and when she got out of the subway station, it was the bright sun, and there was a bustling commercial street, and she began to miss the teriyaki crispy bone balls sold in convenience stores.
"Convenience store...... Zhang Xizhong drove the car slowly, moving forward with the convoy little by little. Because it is a private reason to pass through the city wormhole, so you can only take the civilian passage, narrow, and there are many people, cars from all directions will gather on this main road, and every section of the road will be inspected by the roadcar. It's so slow, even Chi Yu, who has nothing to do at home for a day, feels that life is like a year, Zhang Xizhong said before setting off that it takes three hours from her house to the city reserve supermarket, it turns out that it is not an exaggeration, so when will you get this back and forth! Go, buy something, and send her back, not to mention that there is still a curfew outside, no matter what, it will be very late for him to return to his house, and it will really endanger his life if he arrives late.
…… Wouldn't that leave him for the night tonight? Chi Yu was so frightened by this idea that he sat up straight in the back seat. The big thing is not good, this matter should be panicked, if there is a word regret to say at this time, probably the whole world can hear Chi Yu calling her name.
"What's wrong? Worried about coming back too late? The blind date turned his head and smiled. It's not a big brother, it's dark and dark, it's really scary for you to suddenly turn your head and carry the light on your back, Chi Yu had to let him drive well. But he said, "Don't worry, we won't go here when we come back, we'll go to the ground." ”
Ground?
"Ah, you probably haven't been outside for a long time, in fact, many places above the ground haven't been destroyed, some facilities and areas are still in operation, and the road can be walked, as long as you want."
Chi Yu swallowed his saliva and wanted to say, no, I don't want to. She probably didn't know much about this person who drove a luxury car, was calm and relaxed, and spent three hours going to the supermarket to buy groceries with a blind date who rejected him - such a person, from his current speech and behavior, always felt a little crazy in it. Surrounded by the suits and luxuries of modern etiquette, Zhang Xizhong seems to have an out of place heart, after all, not everyone can sit in the driver's seat and drive a Rolls-Royce out of a spaceship.
"There's a convenience store on the ground outside, and if we come back early, we might even be able to eat teriyaki bone balls," he said. ”
Ah, that's it. Chi Yu bit her lower lip, as if she hadn't noticed the slight movement in her heart. "It's heartwarming, I can't hide from my bad eyes, and I can't ...... it inexplicably." At this time, who is still in line and still brushing Douyin!
Calm, calm, this is a sugar-coated cannonball for a bad man, Chi Yu turned his head and pretended to be fine, closed the car window, and took over. "That, that, that, that daring, I didn't expect the convenience store to be so dedicated now. But speaking of which, it won't take two or three hours to go home like this, right? ”
With the confirmation of the blind date, the girl almost jumped for joy, which actually inadvertently solved the problem just now: what to do if you want to stay at home for one night. Haha, go to the ground, and everyone will go back to their respective homes. Go to the ground, go!
Of course, Chi Yu would not have thought that she would soon regret it. In her short life, most of the times she regretted today alone, and the other half was filled with the short and splendid ten years that followed, making her a well-known regret scholar, and even many years later, she was ridiculed by Zhang Xizhong when writing her memoirs.
What appeared before her eyes now was a faint light, nothing compared to the starry sky above her. However, soon the light taught her how to be a human being, and she was very fearless, "Rolls-Royce is nothing, and it is not worth mentioning to me." ”
There was a sign erected in the faint light, and you could only see it when you got closer. The sign reads, up here, three hundred meters, RT-Mart.
"Each household has 30 minutes of procurement time, I'll apply for one with you, and then play your own way," Zhang Xizhong said, "If anything can't be reached, remember to call me." ”
"You too, if there is any dish you don't know, you won't pick watermelon durian, remember to call me."
After verifying their identities, the huge metal gate opened for them, Chi Yu thought to himself, huh. There is really a secret base, that is, whether this base is on sale today, and there is a smell of braised pig face.
"Blind date team, rush!"
Two hot-blooded mentally retarded people rushed to the battlefield with a shopping cart for one dollar.
