The vast wilderness, the eternal gray sky.

As the sun descends directly from the horizon, darkness finally sets in.

The bright headlights shone on the wide road, and only a range of areas were visible in front of it, and the surroundings seemed unusually quiet.

Sang Yu has a slight motion sickness, and she always likes to lean against the window and roll down the glass a little to breathe the outside air.

"Sangyu, the windows are closed. Watch out for any bugs that fly in, they will be in trouble if they bite you. ”

Meng Yanxuan frowned, thinking about things in his heart, and his tone of voice was slightly impatient.

Sang Yu was listening to something, not paying attention to her father's tone.

Meng Qinghu pursed his lips slightly, he didn't say anything he wanted to say after all.

Only Jing Zhan couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Meng, Sang Yu is motion sick, if the space is too closed, she will be uncomfortable." ”

Meng Yanxuan glanced at Jing Zhan sitting between the two children from the rearview mirror, it was this child who was praised by the base as probably the best soldier in the future of the base.

His grades are better than Meng Qinghu's, not a little or two, and he broke the record of the entire children's class. You must know that two of them were left by Xiao Muchen, the grandson of Xiao Lao, and they are invincible until now.

"Dad, is there a meteorite landing tonight?"

It's no wonder that Sang Yu asked, there have been two meteorites this year, not a large-scale landing, but it also contains unusual information.

Many people are wondering with trepidation, is the end of the world really coming?

Meng Yanxuan, who was thinking about whether to send Jing Zhan to the special training team, was stunned when he heard this: "How do you know?" Is the base forecasted? ”

"Nope."

Meng Sangyu pointed to the place in the sky where the sunset disappeared in the distance: "Look at that circle of light, it is different from usual, I remember that the meteorite also had this last time." ”

Meng Yanxuan looked at the aperture that made no difference in his eyes, wasn't that a white cloud? Or is it the afterglow of the sun's down?

Meng Sangyu took a closer look at the only aperture in the sky that could still see the color, it was so obvious in the darkness, she was a little anxious: "Dad, you drive faster." ”

Although it is a kilometer of the base, there are basically no cars on the road after dark. Most of this road is dedicated to the base, delivering supplies and patrolling and inspecting various towns.

Meng Yanxuan drove a small beetle specially made by the base, which was sturdy and durable, and had good performance.

He wanted to say, what do you know as a child, but there is a vague worry in your heart, otherwise, speed up, hurry up, anyway, there is no one on the road at night.

Meng Yanxuan pressed the acceleration button, and calmly crossed his arms to observe the car.

On both sides of the road, under the display of the dash cam, you can clearly see the rapidly reversing wild grass and wild trees.

Suddenly, Meng Sangyu shouted, "Dad, what's that?" ”

Meng Yanxuan followed her daughter's white and tender fingers to look at the dash cam, and in the corner of the recorder, a white point of light flashed.

That's a person?

"Dad, it seems to be a person, let's stop and take a look."

Meng Yanxuan's eyes sank, and he said impatiently: "Do you know who is on the side of the road, get out of the car casually, what if it's a bad person?" ”

"But Daddy, what if ......"

Before Sang Yu's words came out, Jing Zhan gently pulled the placket of his clothes.

Sang Yu turned his head to look at Jing Zhan, he gave her a, don't be afraid, I'll fly back and take a look.

Looking at his father, who was a little unhappy, Sang Yu pursed her mouth helplessly.

If that person is injured, will they be eaten by the mutated beast when they come out when they get to the house?

Why doesn't Dad have compassion?

They are on the road between the base and the town, and this road is patrolled back and forth by the Self-Defense Forces every day, and under normal circumstances, there is not much danger at all.

Jing Zhan could feel Sang Yu's unhappiness, he gently scratched Sang Yu's palm with his fingers, and told her with his mouth: "It's okay, I'll come back and see." ”

Sang Yu was not comforted by Jing Zhan, there was a thought in her heart that became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help shouting: "Dad, I still want to go back and see." I felt like the guy on the side of the road was a student in our junior class, and that flashing white was his scoresheet. ”

Anyone who is based can contribute will have a point table.

The base will convert his contributions into points, go out to receive supplies, shop, and use money or points.

Of course, at the base, points can buy a lot of things. And money, only at the bottom of the circulation of more, a lot of scarce materials can not be bought.

If it weren't for Meng Sangyu's excellent performance in the exam, Meng Yanxuan would have been furious.

He couldn't wait to open the car door and kick this kid out of the car with a lot of nonsense. No matter who it was, it was already dark and it was not safe outside, and he couldn't risk putting himself in order to save others.

"Dad, you reverse the car a little bit, just a little bit, don't I get out of the car?"

Seeing that Sang Yu must go back to see, Meng Qinghu also opened his mouth: "Dad, or you just fall back a little, it won't take a few minutes for us to go back, I looked at Sang Yu and promised not to let her get out of the car." ”

Jing Zhan also looked up at Meng Yanxuan: "Uncle Meng, just go back and take a look, Sang Yu said that he couldn't get out of the car." ”

Meng Yanxuan looked at the three children from the rearview mirror, he glared at the three children hatefully, and changed the button to backwards.

It only took a few minutes for the car to reverse to the position where the white light had just been found.

Meng Yanxuan didn't stop the car, just slowed down.

Father and son stared at the dash cam, and the white light that flashed just now was gone, only the dark night, the barren weeds, and the silence.

There was not even a sound of the usual annoying insect chirps, not to mention Meng Yanxuan, even Meng Qinghu felt that his scalp was numb.

Fortunately, Meng Yanxuan pressed forward, and the car slammed forward, heading directly towards Shicheng.

It wasn't until the car stopped in the villa's underground parking lot that Meng Yanxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The father and son got out of the car, and no one noticed that the base of the car, a ball of green and fluffy things was attached underneath.

Closing the automatic door of the garage, Gina was waiting at the door, and when she saw the four of them, she couldn't help but complain: "Why did you come back?" How dangerous it is to walk at night. ”

Meng Yanxuan was upset and irritable, and didn't answer Gina's words at all, and walked directly into the house from her.

Sang Yu smiled and raised the small bamboo basket in his hand and shouted, "Auntie, this is the egg that grandma asked me to bring back." ”

Meng Qinghu and Jing Zhan also carried things to Gina, diluting her embarrassment of being ignored by Meng Yanxuan.

Meng Xinai waited for her brother and sister for a long time, originally she didn't want to go to District 8.

What's so good in the eighth district, and there is no fun and delicious food, there is mud everywhere.

She didn't want to when her brothers and sisters left, but when they were all gone, her grandparents left again, and she began to fidget.

The snacks weren't tasty, the toys weren't fun, and she didn't even want to look for them.

"Why did you come back, I left you with my mother's milk tea today, it may be cold."

Meng Xinai complained and walked into the house, and she touched the milk tea that had been prepared a long time ago: "Big brother, come and serve milk tea, it's not hot." ”

Meng Qinghu brought the milk tea from the dining table to the coffee table in the living room, and Sang Yu took a cup and took a sip, the temperature was just right.

She smiled and winked at Meng Xinai, who had a little temper: "I brought you something, and I'll give it to you after dinner." ”

Meng Xin's love was very curious, but she didn't show it on her face, she pretended not to care and said, "I don't want it." ”

After Sang Yu drank the milk tea, he sighed deliberately: "Then forget it, I'll bring it to Sister Qiaoqiao when I go to school tomorrow." ”

Meng Xinai was anxious: "Didn't you say something to bring me?" Why give it to Sister Qiaoqiao? ”

"Didn't you say you shouldn't want if you're not good?"

"If it's not good, don't give it to others, that's what you brought me."

"Okay."

Sang Yu pretended to be embarrassed: "Then when you finish taking a bath, you go to my room to get it, don't say that you don't want it when the time comes." ”

In the dining room, Gina and Aunt Robot are setting up dishes and chopsticks.

Gina is probably afraid that the children will not like to eat after drinking milk tea, and there is not much milk tea prepared, and only half a cup of milk tea is prepared for one person. After drinking it just appetizing, eat dinner.

The Meng family's dinner was a little late, but it didn't hinder everyone's good appetite.

Gina, in particular, also stir-fried a plate of small green vegetables that they brought back from District 8 today, and several children liked it very much.

Even Meng Xinai, who was a picky eater, couldn't help but say: "It's still the grandparents who grow delicious vegetables, and the dishes at the base have no taste at all." ”

Meng Yanxuan, the head of the family, didn't speak, he always looked a little uneasy tonight.

After eating, taking a shower, everyone is reading books in the living room, and watching movies and television dramas with headsets on. Just when Meng Xinai was pestering Sang Yu to go to her room to get something, she suddenly heard a doorbell.

Gina put down the book in her hand and got up: "Hey, who is it so late?" ”

Meng Yanxuan stood up first: "I'll go open the door." ”

He walked out, and Gina followed.

Meng Yanxuan walked to the gate of the courtyard and said a few words to the people outside through the courtyard gate.

Gina stood at the gate and watched, she only vaguely saw that it was a man, and the figure was unfamiliar.

Meng Yanxuan walked back and said to Gina: "I have some things, I have to go out tonight, you can go to bed early." ”

"Yanxuan."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Meng Yanxuan, who was passing by Gina, turned around, and under the light, his eyebrows were handsome and his lines were soft. This is the man she has loved for several years, and she suddenly feels a little strange to him.

Gina tugged the shawl draped over her shoulders, swallowed back the words that came to her lips, and whispered, "Be careful when you go out at night, and come back early." ”

Meng Yanxuan only let out a low "um" and passed past Gina.

He went back to the house and took his coat and walked to the underground garage, where Gina was still standing at the gate, looking a little desolate.

She had a feeling that there was a woman outside Meng Yanxuan.

Meng Sangyu looked at Meng Yanxuan holding her clothes, looking like she was about to go out, she hurriedly put down the book in her hand and chased it out.

"Daddy, are you going out?"

Meng Yanxuan didn't look back, only admonished: "Listen to your mother at home and go to bed early." ”

He didn't even know whether Meng Sangyu or Meng Xinai was behind him.

The car came out of the underground garage, and the garage door slowly fell.

Meng Yanxuan's car drove away from the garage door, the headlights at the garage door went out, and a green thing fell silently from the bottom of the car and rolled to the side.

No one found out.
