The jeep moved slowly in the silent city, Li Ming led a company of soldiers to follow, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery on the street, Meng Soul only had a feeling of being in a different world, Meng Soul stopped the car and walked to the door of a restaurant on the side of the road, the glass door had been broken, and the glass slag was trampled into small particles by the zombies.

This restaurant is the small restaurant where Meng Soul met Li Ming, the tables and chairs in the store are overturned everywhere, rusty, although there are no zombie corpses on the ground, but black blood is splashed everywhere, and everything looks mottled.

Walking out of the tavern, I looked up, and the whole city looked gray under the lead-like clouds, and the dilapidated high-rise buildings stood there lifelessly.

Meng Soul glanced at Li Ming, Li Ming obviously remembered this place, his father went out to look for food and never came back, touching the dilapidated gate, Li Ming lowered his head and sighed, and those soldiers were also looking at the street scene left and right, most of these people were natives of X City, and they all sighed after coming back.

In the past, young people lived desperately all their lives just for a house, but after the end of the world, there was no use for anything, and everyone lived for a bite to eat.

"Brother Meng, when will we return to the city? There are so many buildings, we can live in three houses by ourselves, right? You must know that I couldn't even think of such a house before, and I couldn't afford it at all! A soldier approached Meng Soul and asked cautiously.

Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, his family was in the countryside, and after graduating from high school, he came to the city to work hard, and he wanted to buy a house of his own in the city.

"When the city of X is completely cleaned up, everyone can live in good houses, these houses have not been maintained for a year, and after an earthquake, they are no longer able to live in, and these will have to be demolished in the future." Meng Soul turned his head and smiled at the young soldier and said.

"I used to work on the construction site, I did a lot of work, I couldn't afford to buy a square meter house for a month, and I can have my own house in the future, I don't know whether to hate the end or be grateful." The young soldier said, looking at the tall buildings on either side.

A soldier wearing glasses next to him said: "I feel the same, there is no hatred or hate, this world has all kinds of pain, but if there is sunshine in the heart, everything is beautiful, although it was stable before, but it was the same unpleasant life, and now it is precarious, but it is possible to live as a master, so think about it and there is nothing." ”

"And now that we have experienced real suffering, we will cherish it more when a good life comes, and some things will really be understood when there is a comparison." Meng Soul looked at the bespectacled soldier with a different face, this guy can be a philosopher.

Standing on the side of the street for a while, Meng Soul continued to move forward, the soldiers followed Meng Soul slowly, there are still some survivors on the street looking for useful supplies, these places have been searched by the army, but many things that the army does not look at are good things for survivors, these people are constantly coming and going in the shops on the street, looking for useful things little by little.

"Li Ming, Wang Yangming, do you remember that outdoor store?" When they walked to the vicinity of Meng Soul's house, Meng Soul pointed to a façade in the alley and asked.

The outdoor store has been visited by countless people, and it is now dilapidated, the whole store is dilapidated after a year of wind, rain and earthquakes, and the search for survivors, the iron bars on the windows have been sawed off and taken away, the doors have been broken and overturned, the whole store is churned and messed, the walls are black, and there are traces of fire, all these scenes make people feel its sadness.

"Of course I remember, everything we started with was found here, all the weapons and equipment, and the sniper crossbow, I didn't expect that we could develop like this with such a few things." Wang Yangming looked at the dilapidated storefront and sighed.

Meng Soul looked back at the small shop where he often ate breakfast, it was as black and swarthy, and it was burned by someone, no one thought that the steamed buns that he used to eat often had not eaten for a long, long time now.

Finally, Meng Soul returned to the familiar community, the gate of the community had fallen to the ground, half of the gatehouse had collapsed, it should have collapsed in the earthquake, go inside, all kinds of mottled advertisements posted on the door of the community building, open the sewer, unlock the lock with key, and call XXX......

Meng Soul walked into the community, many places have cracked, these buildings are old-fashioned buildings after all, although the quality is good, but they can't withstand the destruction of time, the earthquake has not completely collapsed the house is already very good.

Meng Soul took a turn in the community, and on the morning a year ago, he took two people out of the community on bicycles, but he didn't expect to return here a year later, and this year was like a world away.

Meng Soul stood in front of the door, the green paint on the anti-theft door peeled off a lot, there was a crack next to the door, the entire anti-theft door had been stuck, and it couldn't be opened at all, Meng Soul took a crowbar and broke it fiercely, although Meng Soul after four times of strengthening did not become a superman wearing pants, but compared to ordinary ordinary people, the strength was much greater, and the anti-theft door was pried open at once.

Touching the key on his neck that had never been removed, Meng Soul suddenly couldn't move.

"Take me to see the place where you've lived for almost thirty years? And look at our parents..."Li Ke stretched out his hand to hug Meng Soul's arm and said with a smile.

The group walked down the still dark stairs to the second floor, and saw that the brown-red security door was still standing intact, Meng Soul suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the dilapidated gate of the neighborhood, and the thick dust at the door, Meng Soul took off the key and opened the door.

The four of them stepped into the house that no one had entered for a year, and stepped into the place that had been in the depths of their memory, and the furnishings in the house had not changed at all, just like when Meng Soul left, only some things fell to the ground during the earthquake.

"Hey, this is the bottle of wine we drank during the Spring Festival last year, and the food bag that we didn't throw away at the time." Wang Yangming picked up a bottle from the ground in the corner of the wall and said.

Meng Soul walked into his room, the desk, the computer on the desk, the wardrobe by the wall, the single bed by the window, the quilt with patterns on the bed, and the e-reader with countless novels stored next to the pillow, everything looked the same as when he left, except that everything was covered with a thick layer of dust.

When I came to my parents' room, the quilt on the bed was also neatly folded, the wedding photos of my parents were on the wall, and on the small cabinet next to it was a small incense burner, a few candles, a handful of incense, and behind the incense burner was the portrait of Meng Soul's parents.

Li Ke picked up three incense sticks from the cabinet, lit them, knelt in front of the statue and muttered: "Mom and Dad, I am Meng Soul's wife, I came to see you, I hope you will bless Meng Soul and let him ...... safely."
