Gu San used to live in a shooting range. If there is anything in this world that she can be familiar with, it is probably the only place like this.

She stands in front of the target, holds the gun in her hand, her arms are straight, three points and one line, aiming at the target, pulling the trigger.

Gunshots rang in her ears again and again—

After all, she is more comfortable with the smell of gunpowder. Ever since Gu San has a detailed memory, life is constantly fleeing and fighting, and his leisure time is also used to prepare for the next battle. With her mother by her side, she barely had someone to protect her, and after leaving her "homeland", she had to be strong and learn to protect herself.

The shooting range was later converted into Fort 2. At that time, people gradually realized that it was useless to constantly move between zombie groups, so that if they kept fleeing, one day everyone would die on the way. People began to consciously look for an open territory and set up camp on that basis. When the first snow fell that year, the survivors set traps around the perimeter of the range.

It was a retired veteran who taught her to hold the robbery, everyone called him Lao Zhang, and Gu San called him Uncle Zhang. Lao Zhang is in his fifties and is said to have a son and a daughter, the son is a soldier and the daughter is a nurse. Lao Zhang's sons and daughters died on the front line as early as when the zombie tide broke out. Not many people know about it. Lao Zhang is a dull temper and doesn't like to talk about these things with people. Gu San also knew about it by chance when he was learning to rob him.

Lao Zhang felt that Gu San and his son had a similar temper, like a sullen gourd. While telling Gu San how to dig the battle ditch, how to ambush, and what is the core of martial arts, he said: "Our father and son are also fated to get together, you have to learn well, and you can protect yourself if something happens to me in the future." ”

When he handed the old Type 92 pistol into the little girl's hand, he raised her arm and said, "Don't be afraid when you see those living dead, you have a gun in your hand, he should be afraid of you." ”

He told Gu San: "Take a deep breath, calm your mind, raise your arms, three points and one line, aim at the target, and pull the trigger." ”

Lao Zhang said that he was born in this world, and he really had no choice, and if he didn't want to be a soldier, he could only be a soldier. But since you are a soldier, you have to know that a gun is life. As long as the gun is there, the bullet is there, your life is there. Gu San used to take a long time to confirm the target, but as she practiced and summarized in the battle again and again, and gradually grew, now as long as she picks up the gun and finds the target, she can basically do it without missing a shot.

Gu San finally became a veteran. And what about the veteran Lao Zhang?

Lao Zhang gave his life to Gu San. Fortress 2 has been carried for more than three years, and in the summer of the fourth year, when the third wave of zombies arrives, the weapons in the range are exhausted, and the people are ready to evacuate. There are always people who have to stay behind during the evacuation. Lao Zhang pushed Gu San into the departing truck, stuffed his gun into Gu San's arms, and before parting, he stretched out his bloodstained hand to wipe away the tears on Gu San's face, and said, "Remember, child, your gun is your life." You've got to take care of your life, and don't let me feel wasted! ”

Gu San didn't slowly calm down until he finished a round of shooting, and his mood was inexplicably restless.

She has been feeling agitated inexplicably since last night. Murong Yuhua soon fell asleep, but she still hadn't fallen asleep until the light slowly came out behind the curtains. In addition to the absolutely practical combat ability that the previous world gave her, she should have the ability to fall asleep easily in any environment. But now, she has insomnia.

The world is too quiet.

Every night, the surroundings were too quiet and there was no danger at all, but on the contrary, everything that was completely peaceful made her feel uneasy. As soon as she closed her eyes, she always felt that there was danger lurking in the dark, and the next moment there would be a roaring zombie pounced on her, and in her sleep it was as if she heard the sound of gunshots, and someone yelled at her to run.

The bullets ran out, and Gu San skillfully changed the magazine and raised his hand again to aim at the bull's-eye. As the gunshots rang out, each one smashed into her heart, forcibly pushing all her worries back into place.

This shouldn't be her world. It's too far away from "danger", and the things that people here usually care about are completely different from what she cares about. In her original world, there was only hope left, and people had only one simple and unified goal, which was to "live".

But these people appeared in front of her one after another: Lan Yueqing, An Lian, Lan Zixi or Murong Yuhua. What they pursued was something that Gu San was unfamiliar with, something other than survival, something she had never had the opportunity to touch.

It's about life. It's not just about being alive.

At the moment when she ran out of bullets and was about to replace the magazine and reload it, someone reached out and pressed it on her gun chamber, Gu San subconsciously turned around and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the other party, and reloaded the bullet within half a second, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

Murong Yuhua looked at the muzzle of the black gun and said with a gloomy expression: "I'll pick you up and go to the old mansion for lunch." ”

Gu San didn't care that she almost shot her husband a few seconds ago, she stood sideways by the railing of the shooting point, moved her hand away from Murong Yuhua, turned to the target, didn't even look at it, fired several shots in a row, and relied on the sound of the moving target, the gun hit the bull's-eye.

After doing this, she withdrew the magazine and threw the gun to Murong Yuhua: "If someone has a gun, your behavior is very dangerous. Counting last night, you've been 'killed' twice by me. ”

“…… Why don't you say that you are a dangerous person? ”

Gu San shrugged his shoulders, picked up the helmet that was placed aside, and walked towards the outside of the shooting range. Murong Yuhua followed closely: "My car is parked in the underground garage. ”

Gu San didn't answer, just waited for the elevator to come and pressed the button on the next floor.

Murong Yuhua repeated again: "My car is in the underground garage. ”

"My car is on the first floor."

"I said, I'll pick you up."

"But I didn't say yes."

The elevator arrived on the first floor, and after opening the door, Gu San was about to walk out, when Murong Yuhua stretched out his hand to stop her: "I need to talk to you." What we said last time hasn't come to fruition, so we have to set some rules. ”

"I hate rules." Gu San clasped his hands, "But if you just want to talk, you can go to the motorcycle with me to talk." ”

"I'm going to take your motorcycle?"

"I don't like what you're trying to talk about, you hate where I chose to talk about it, and it looks like we should have a breakdown." Gu San pulled his hand away and stepped out of the elevator, "See you later, Murong." ”

That being said, three minutes later, Murong Yuhua was wearing a helmet, nervously grasping anything behind him, tightening his jawline, and sitting on the back seat of Gu San's motorcycle.

Gu San bent down and stepped on the accelerator to shuttle between the traffic, Murong Yuhua's lips were pale, and his forehead was suffocated by the helmet or sweating from fright. Gu San turned on the headphones on his helmet and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me?" ”

"I'm ......" Murong Yuhua swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, when Gu San took a turn and frightened him to take a deep breath, a little annoyed, "Can you slow down a little?" ”

"What about riding a motorcycle, you tell me to slow down?" Gu San's tone was slightly disdainful, and she said, "You can hold me, so as not to fall." ”

"Will it fall?"

"I'm driving a hundred yards now, what do you think?"

Murong Yuhua said solemnly: "I will never hug a woman because I am afraid!" It's a shame. ”

Gu San didn't speak again. There was a steep bridge not far away, the motorcycle drove uphill at high speed, and then dived, accelerating forward, Gu San listened to Murong Yuhua's scream from the helmet headset, and the next moment, the other party hugged her with both hands.

There was a brief blank space in the headphones. The wind blew from his side, the traffic surged, the pedestrians came and went on the street, and at the subway entrance not far away, the uncle in a gray cotton coat pulled the erhu. Gu San heard a cheer from behind him: "Woohoo! ——”

It was Murong Yuhua's voice, but it would never be the content of Murong Yuhua's shouting during the day. He cheered and looked around excitedly: "Can you hurry up, Gu San!" I love the feeling of riding a motorcycle! ”

“…… Murong Yuhua? Gu San looked at him from the rearview mirror with some confusion. The creature no longer wrapped his arms around her waist, but put his hands on her shoulders and slowly stood up, screaming and cheering, looking up at the sky and the tall buildings in the distance. Gu San had to remind him: "Sit down, it's dangerous." ”

"I should get a motorcycle, too! It's so cool! ”

Gu San felt very strange: "Why did you come out with this?" ”

"I don't know." Murong Yuhua's tone was still filled with excitement, "You just took me on a motorcycle, and I became like this." You should take me on a motorcycle ride in the future, wife. ”

Gu San didn't bother to correct his title this time, but gradually increased the speed of the car as he said, the wind blew through the goggles, and the air that was rapidly skimming against his skin rushed away. Murong Yuhua suddenly shouted for her to stop, and pointed to McDonald's not far from the roadside: "Go, I'll take you to eat ice cream." ”

"You warned me not to be late for lunch."

"I've warned you a lot, you've never heard of it before, and I'm going to leave him alone this time!"

"That's what you said." Gu San slowly slowed down the car after replying, and finally stopped on the side of the road.

Murong Yuhua stepped off the motorcycle, took off his helmet and rushed to the dessert station, arrived at the window, leaned his head forward, and shouted inside: "Give me two wheat whirlwinds." ”

Turning around, he smiled at Gu Sanyi: "Buy one get one free, chocolate-flavored." If you don't like it, I'll buy you something else. ”

"There's nothing I don't like to eat." Gu San also took off his helmet after parking the car, leaned on the side of the motorcycle and waited for him to come. Murong Yuhua seemed to be very curious about everything, looking here and there, without any usual reserve. After the waiter handed him the ice cream, the man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he didn't forget to smile at the little girl when he reached out to take it.

He already had an overly beautiful face, and when he laughed this time, the other party turned red for a while.

Murong Yuhua turned around and ran to Gu San with ice cream all the way in small steps: "Give." ”

"Are you sure it's okay to be late?"

"Eat it, my grandmother spoils me very much, it's okay."

Gu San didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and after taking the ice cream, he stirred the chocolate syrup and crumbs on it with a spoon a little rusty. Murong Yuhua had already raised his head and swallowed a big mouthful, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her hesitant movements, and directly reached out and scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into Gu San's mouth.

He smiled and asked, "How is it, is it delicious?" ”
