Chapter 118: Departure

At about eleven o'clock, Zhu Li interrupted the conversation between An Lian and Gu San, and told Gu San that the caravan he had applied for before had accepted the information sent by Gu San, and sent her the address and contact number, and would gather at the travel quarantine station before two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow.

The new job is as well paid as Juri said earlier, and all you need to do is successfully escort a convoy to another fortress as a security guard. There is no elaboration on the content of the escort items, and it is very clear that it is forbidden to ask about the escort items.

After the three of them finished talking, they suddenly found that Xiao Sui'er didn't know where to run. Gu San asked Zhu Li and An Lian to go back to the room first, and slowly walked down the abandoned building, the walls around this building had been shattered in the war, and almost all of them could see the outside scene and the sky at a glance.

Gu San found Xiao Sui'er on the fourth floor, the girl lying on an old children's bed, and the back of the bed was carved with a cherub holding a harp, such furniture was obviously left over from the old civilization. She was still holding a rabbit doll that she had found somewhere.

There was dust everywhere, and it was at this time that Gu San would be glad that Xiao Sui'er was not an "ordinary" child, and there was no need to worry about dust or bacteria. She sat down slowly on the edge of the bed, looked at the child lying there, and reached out to gently brush the broken hair from her ear. The little daughter, who was lying there, noticed someone beside her and opened her sleepy eyes.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at Gu San, "Auntie...... Are you done talking? ”

Gu San held her hand, "Well, it's already over." Go back to sleep, it's so dirty over here. ”

Xiao Sui'er pointed to the pair of little angels on the bed board, "Auntie, this is so beautiful, we have never seen it before." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and took her sleeve to wipe the dust away, the original white lacquered panel inside had long since peeled off, and the previous color could still be faintly distinguished, all the shapes were mottled together, but you could still see how delicate this children's bed once was.

Gu San looked at the bed, and the memories that were still in peacetime flooded into his mind little by little. When she was five years old, the zombie tide broke out, and before that, there were not too many accidents in life. At that time she was just a child, and her mother had also bought such a children's bed for her.

She has a room with a fluffy quilt that always smells of the sun after being exposed to the sun. She had many toys, her mother would buy her all kinds of dresses and clothes, and no matter how late she got off work, she would quietly come to Gu San's room and drop a kiss on her forehead.

Does she have such a cherub in her bed? Gu San couldn't remember it clearly. She could only sit next to Xiao Sui'er and tell her, "Before the war began, some merchants would produce such beds to sell." ”

"Do merchants take care to carve these patterns on their beds? That's nice. Xiao Sui'er looked at this bed and couldn't put it down, she raised her head and blinked a pair of fawn-like eyes, "Auntie, I heard that you are leaving again tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. Do you want me to bring you something back this time? ”

"Except for Uncle Murong's news, I don't have anything else I want. I just hope that one day we can sit together like we used to, eat and look at the scenery outside, and you don't have to look far away. Xiao Sui'er leaned on Gu San's arms, and after she sat up, her legs hung on the edge of the bed, "I am very scared every time you leave, at that time in the village, you also went to find Uncle Murong, but you went and never came back." ”

What Xiao Sui'er is talking about is the data world in the Republic of China. At that time, Murong Yuhua left them to prove his thoughts, and Gu San also set off to find him after discovering the existence of zombies.

"This time is not the same as last time." Gu San said and touched Xiao Sui'er's head, "Don't worry, don't I come back every time I go out?" And now there is nothing particularly dangerous that could threaten our existence. ”

Xiao Sui'er looked out with her head in the crook of her arm, and the starry sky in the desert still looked bright even if the lights in the city flickered.

This worry was gradually calmed down, and Xiao Sui'er looked up at the starry sky outside, "Auntie, what was the world like in the old civilization era before?" ”

"That's a ...... Very comfortable times. Gu San also followed her and raised his head to look at the starry sky outside, "Actually, the city at that time was almost invisible to the starry sky. The city is brightly lit and many people are outside even at night. They do their work during the day and go out to relax at night. Different families live in different apartments. ”

When she said these words, her eyes drifted away a little, as if she was caught in a memory.

"People don't need to worry about supplies for the next day, and if they do, they may only have their own income to worry about. But because there are not too many threats, sometimes the closest people will quarrel. ”

"There were no zombies in the old civilization?"

"Yes, there were no zombies in the old civilization." Gu San seemed to see the former high-rise building in that starry sky, and in a small apartment in the high-rise building, a pair of young lovers happily moved in.

It was a young man and a woman, the woman had long black hair, and when she laughed, she still had small tiger teeth, the man was thin and had curly hair, a pair of eyes and single eyelids were a little fierce, and Gu San and his eyes were almost carved out of a mold.

The young lovers renovated the apartment together and snuggled together on a rainy day. Women sometimes play guitars, men whistle, and boxing gloves are placed in the room. They are sweet for the most part, but sometimes they still have arguments.

As the sun and the moon passed, the woman became pregnant in the apartment, her belly grew bigger day by day, and finally one day, when the lovers returned to the apartment, they had a child in their arms.

"In the old civilization, some people lived well, and some people were always idle. But even then, it doesn't matter. At that time, even if there was nothing to do, there was no threat. Unlike after the arrival of zombies, if you have nothing to do and don't know what you can do, you will soon disappear from this world. ”

The young couple in the apartment are excited about the arrival of a new life, but the trivialities of life gradually smoothed out their former romance and happiness.

At last an argument broke out between the lovers, the child's shrill cries echoed through the apartment, and the man's clenched fist fell abruptly on the woman.

The woman left the apartment full of her happiness and sorrow with her child in her arms, in tears. She left here and went to another place with her only child.

"People are running around, and people are aimless. In this kind of life, people are willing to slowly find happiness in their own lives. There is no particularly long hatred, but there is also no excessive parting of life and death in it. ”

There are many things in the old civilization that Gu San misses, and there are many things that Gu San doesn't even have time to enjoy.

Sometimes, very briefly, when Gu San looked at the video materials left behind by the old civilization, she always wondered what kind of life she would have lived if the zombie tide hadn't exploded? Will she still develop the character she has now? Can she still have the fighting ability she has now?

Will she go to school? Will she find another group of friends to spend her student days? Could she be a thorn in the side of her classmates? Will she make the teachers, the mothers, happy?

Everything is unknown, the reality is that everything about the zombie apocalypse has happened after all, and she has no chance to go to school, no chance to take exams, no chance to make a group of friends, no chance to try to get drunk with a group of friends to celebrate the end of the exam or graduation.

She also did not have the opportunity to choose a job, nor did she have the opportunity to fulfill her mother's wishes in the most ordinary way.

She didn't get a chance to celebrate her mother's birthday with the first pot of gold she earned.

There is no chance to enjoy a relationship that has gone from meeting to acquaintance.

All is not a chance.

Like all people who are in this age of hardship, all of us have lost the opportunity to live an ordinary life. What does the catastrophe of the real age look like? In fact, just as Suzaku and Murong Yuhua said, when the disaster came, all people, regardless of age, class, and nationality, rushed to death and suffered the torture of fate equally.

No one is exempt from vulgarity.

Gu San looked at the bright starlight, and the girl beside him gradually stabilized her breathing. Gu San gently wiped the dust from Xiao Sui'er's nose, she carefully picked up the child, and walked towards the place where they lived with the little rabbit she was holding in her arms.

She returned to the rooftop that was only half cut off, and a touch of fish belly white gradually tore the darkness apart, and the morning sun slowly rose from the sky.

A new day has arrived.

When Spike woke up again, she was already lying in the soft bed. Xiao Sui'er looked at the rabbit doll in her arms that had been washed and still exuded the fragrance of laundry detergent, sat up and looked out.

It was already dawn, and there was rock music listening to Sister Lianlian outside the room. Xiao Sui'er pushed open the door with her bare feet and held the little rabbit and walked out, Zhu Li was cleaning in the hall, and when she saw this, she walked into the room and took out Xiao Sui'er's shoes and hugged her and put them on for her.

Xiao Sui'er hurriedly asked, "Zhu Li, where is Auntie?" ”

"Miss Gu has already set off."

"Leaving so soon? She hasn't said goodbye to me yet. Xiao Sui'er pursed her lips in some frustration when she heard this. Zhu Li reassured her, "Miss Gu doesn't think there is any need to say goodbye, she will be back in two days at most for this operation." You can give her a video call if you want. ”

At this time, Gu San had already finished her salute and drove her old-fashioned jeep towards the quarantine station. In the afternoon, there was a lot of wind and sand, and as the car passed through the center, it once again encountered a group of students who were marching. Gu San glanced out, and after the red light turned green in front of him, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and roared away from the crowd.
