Chapter 27: The Dream (1)
This set of things, Tang Ling is no stranger, only those who have obtained the qualification of a reserve warrior can have it, and there were powerful young people in the former settlement who proudly wore it back.
"With it, you have passed the preliminary examination of the reserve warrior. At least you can go to the rotten Fifth Reserve Camp to mess around. ”
"However, don't forget that your target is the First Reserve Battalion, which only the elite of the five battalions are eligible to enter."
"If you want to live in the Fifth Reserve Battalion, I'm not against it. However, from now on, you will lose the right to let me guide you. Besides, if I hear anything more about revenge from you, a desire for power or something, I don't mind knocking out your mouthful of teeth. ”
"Three days later, it will be the day of the re-examination of the preparatory camp. Which training camp you can get into, I'm looking forward to your performance. Su Yao narrowed his eyes again, and at the same time stood up from the sofa, his strong body brought out a shadow, enveloping Tang Ling like a small hill.
"I'll go." Tang Ling picked up the things that Su Yao had given him from the ground, and didn't ask Su Yao how he had passed the preliminary test inexplicably, nor did he promise that he would definitely enter the first reserve camp.
The rules were originally meant to be broken by the powerful.
As for promises, the most unreliable and credible thing to say from the mouth is action.
He's going to give it 100 percent.
"All right, boy. I love the look in your eyes. As for what it takes to enter the 1st Reserve Battalion, find out for yourself. No one is obligated to explain it to you. After Su Yao said this, he stretched his waist and walked towards the door.
Looking at his back, Tang Ling spoke despite several restraints: "Who are you?" ”
yes, who is this man? Although he said extremely cruel and realistic words in his mouth, but he repeatedly gave great kindness to himself, will pies fall from the sky in this era? Tang Ling's heart has been a little cold since that night.
Hearing Tang Ling's question, Su Yao stopped, he slowly turned to look at Tang Ling, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile: "Do you think you are qualified to know now?" ”
Tang Ling pursed the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said again: "Thank you, I am grateful to you." ”
Su Yao turned his head, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the shadow of the skylight: "Your gratitude is worthless." But..."
Tang Ling raised his head.
"I think you're a dreamer."
Dream? Tang Ling was puzzled, he had never been a person who loved illusions, why would Su Yao say that?
Su Yao suddenly turned his head suddenly, looking at Tang Ling's eyes was extremely complicated, and his tone was soft: "Be careful of your dream, maybe it's coming." ”
**
This sentence was so inexplicable that Tang Ling didn't understand what it meant at all, but he didn't know why. After Su Yao said this, his heartbeat seemed to skip a row, and there was a chill feeling in his entire back.
The sound of Su Yao closing the door echoed in the empty room, obviously life gave Tang Ling another question, but he didn't want to give Tang Ling an answer.
The rain outside the window was still falling tirelessly, and Tang Ling stood silently in the room and kept taking deep breaths, just trying to be calm.
It is obviously a luxury to want to get answers to any question, Tang Ling understands this truth, but the pain from his chest is not so easy to suppress, grabbing his mother-in-law's urn and holding his sister's tattered little skirt, Tang Ling slowly walked to the side of the bed and looked out the window blankly.
In this cold and cruel era, life has been lost, nor warmth has been lost, and it is terrible.
He didn't dare to think of his mother-in-law and sister anymore, but he couldn't control his memory.
The brain seems to have become sluggish at this moment, but the consciousness is extremely clear, and the memories are like knives, bits and pieces of warmth and cruelty across the heart.
No matter how strong a person is, it takes time to calm down.
In silent silence. The rain stopped at some point.
A touch of red glow folded into the room from the fence behind the open wooden window, and fell under Tang Ling's eyes.
Tang Ling got up abruptly and sat down again, the sunset represented homecoming.
He couldn't remember how many such dusks there were, and it was such a sunset that shone on his shoulders and accompanied him on his way home.
When you close your eyes, you can still smell the smell of grass and the wind with a hint of heat.
As long as you follow the wind and return to the settlement, you can see the loving smile of your mother-in-law, and you can also hug the warm body of your sister who threw herself into your arms.
It seems to smell the faint aroma of dried clovers again....
Such a seemingly illusory smell made Tang Ling open his eyes suddenly, and after a sudden throbbing pain in his chest, a strange impulse could no longer be suppressed!
He wants to go back to the settlement!
I want to tell my mother-in-law and sister who have 'gone' in the place where I once lived, what is this dream paradise - the safe zone?
This idea is very irrational, even crazy, and without any value for money, it seems meaningless.
But Tang Ling didn't know why, he just couldn't sit still anymore, he walked around the room anxiously, wheezing like a beast, and several times his hand held the doorknob and then retracted.
The light suddenly became blurry and dim, but there was a blinding clarity.
When the rain stopped, the footsteps in the streets were so clear that there seemed to be a lot of children playing with them, mixed with the voice of a little girl, calling for her brother.
"Brother, brother..."
Tang Ling gritted his teeth.
"Brother, brother..."
Tang Ling stood up suddenly, without any hesitation, slammed open the door, and rushed out of this comfortable but unfamiliar room.
He began to run, through the hallways, over the stairs.
The cold water splashed in the streets, and the wind whistled in my ears.
Tang Ling didn't actually know the way, he ran quickly in the direction of the red glow by instinct, but he didn't need to know the way, as long as the sunset was setting, as long as he was in that direction, he would definitely run to the south gate of the safety zone.
And everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but not long after, Tang Ling stood on the familiar but unfamiliar seat belt again.
In the aftermath of the fire, the seat belts were in disarray.
Even on weekdays, there are only low bushes, and they are potholed by various obvious and hidden settlements, but they are still full of life.
Tang Ling's heart was full of sorrow.
Raised his feet, but did not go in the direction of the fifth battalion of the settlement, but walked towards the transit station.
There, you can find your mother-in-law and sister!
The sky was dark, and countless black clouds were wrapped in the wind and surging, staggered layer by layer, as if they were about to press the earth.
The burned land, from time to time, the corpses of snakes and insects appeared, which were burned into stiff char.
Tang Ling walked numbly, but his whole mind fell into an indescribable state of psychedelia.
There is no need to worry about these corpses 'corpses', as there are very few species that are said to have such changes other than humans.
Not worrying about the 'corpse' was a rare lucid consciousness in his mind, but it was nothing more.
