Chapter 701: A Lifetime Event
Chapter 701: A Lifetime Event
While the survivors of Belvedere and the Zhizhu Search and Rescue Team were fighting for their lives in the wild, the citizens of Zhongcheng began a new peaceful day.
Li Yan got up early in the morning, washed up, went down to her small attic, and came to the courtyard. She has been living in her uncle Huo Qiankun's mansion for the past time. Not only are the buildings luxurious and sturdy, but also the water and electricity supply and security are good, which is undoubtedly very attractive to a rich lady from a wealthy family.
Huo Qiankun, who is over 60 years old, has a tough body, is slightly chubby, and looks like a rich man and an old cadre, and his wife are walking in the courtyard. After they saw Li Yan, they greeted them cordially.
Mrs. Huo asked, "Yanyan, today is a rest day, and I want to arrange for Betters to come to our house for dinner together." What do you think? ”
"Auntie, if you want to entertain guests, you don't need to ask me if I agree or not."
"Silly boy, you are the real protagonist of today's dinner. You and Betters ......"
Li Yan suddenly realized that her aunt was trying to match herself with Betus, who had been stranded in China and single after the end of the world. Her face sank, "Auntie, how many times have I told you, I have a boyfriend." ”
"What's so good about that useless Chen Gengxing?" Mrs. Huo made no secret of her disdain, "Doesn't he just know a little music?" If it is before the end of the world, it may be able to win a certain social status; But now it's the end of the world, and it's all about being in the world by relying on ability and hard power. Chen Gengxin is a person who has long had no living space and a foothold, and if he wants to live, he has to rely on you for the rest of his life. Yeonyan, do you have to follow this kind of empty man with an iron heart? ”
"Auntie, your views are too extreme. As long as a person is diligent and can contribute to society, he should be respected. We can't just measure the people in the last days by the level of the star soul and the combat ability. ”
"I'm not talking to you about human rights in the last days, I'm talking about your life's events." Mrs. Huo persuaded bitterly, "Do you know what a lifelong event is? Lifelong events should not only start from the impulses and feelings of the present, but also think about the long-term future. You are a woman, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your uncle and aunt, and for the sake of your future children. You don't want the two of us to lose our support when we get old, and your children will live an inferior life, right? If that kind of family downfall really happens, what can Chen Gengxin provide you with? ”
"He ......" Li Yan, who is articulate and eloquent, was speechless for a while, she pouted and said with a sense of sorrow: "My life's major events, I am in charge of my own affairs!" Keep walking, I'm going out to work. "I didn't care about eating breakfast, and I didn't care about wearing the mecha, so I left Huo Mansion in a huff.
Mrs. Huo wanted to stop her, but was pulled by Huo Qiankun. "Yanyan has had a personality since she was a child, if she can't think about it herself, others won't be able to persuade her at all."
"Could it be that she is mixed with that Chen Gengxin every day and suffers a loss? It's not good to spread the reputation. ”
"Humph! That scumbag should have been eliminated a long time ago. ”

Li Yan walked out of the first ring and came to the Zhongcheng media office building in the second ring road, and called out Chen Gengxin in the office with a communicator.
Chen Gengxin's status in Zhongcheng is low, and he relies on Li Yan's influence to enter Zhongcheng Media as a regular employee. His parents were all servants in He Xiaotianfu, and their status was no different from that of the sister-in-law Lu they had hired before, and they could only do some simple handymen, even inferior to Mrs. Lu.
Chen Gengxin rented a house near the Third Ring Road, and because the conditions there were relatively poor, he stayed at Midtown Media for most of the time. Among the dozens of people who work here, he has the worst overall strength. Colleagues took into account Li Yan's background, and were very polite to Chen Gengxin in person, but they all ridiculed him behind his back.
"Li Yan, today is a rest day, we don't need to interview and do shows anymore, right?"
"Can't you work on your days off? Who sets the rules? "Li Yan is very angry. In fact, with her background and influence, even if she only puts her name and doesn't do anything, Zhongcheng Media has nothing to say; It's just that she can't be idle.
"Why don't I hang out around the city with you? If you happen to do it, collect some news material; If we can't touch it, we should be aware of the people's feelings. ”
"Okay. I can only drive your broken car today. ”
"Are you starting to think my car is broken?"
"I'm not disgusted, I'm just talking about things."
"Okay, I'll save some more money, and I'll dispose of it in the near future and replace it with a field car."
The two of them drove around the Second Ring Road, and after finding nothing unusual, they continued to drive out. Before you know it, you will come to the northwest corner outside the Third Ring Road, which is the cemetery area of Midtown. Those who died inside the city or whose bodies were brought back from the outside were buried here. As far as the eye can see, there are simple tombstones everywhere, which looks ghostly.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Li Yan got out of the car and took the lead to walk deeper into the woods.
"Li Yan, let's not stay in this kind of place for a long time, it's too dangerous."
"I have something to say to you, and I don't want to be heard." Li Yan pondered her emotions for a moment, and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Xinxin, let's get married, right?" ”
Chen Gengxin's body shook violently, his expression was first panicked, then stunned, and then asked with concern: "Talking about marriage in the cemetery?" Is something going on? ”
"We've been together for so long in the name of boyfriend and girlfriend, haven't you ever thought about getting married?"
"I ...... I thought about it, but ......"
"But what? Don't you love me? ”
"Of course I love you, but I'm so bad now, if I marry you like this, wouldn't I have wronged you?"
"I don't care if your objective conditions are good or bad, I only care if you really love me."
"I swear, I love you from the bottom of my heart! Can you give me a little more time, at least until my Star Soul level increases so that I can withstand your firelight ability? Otherwise, wouldn't you have to stay alive and widowed all the time? ”
"Okay." Li Yan buried her head in Chen Gengxin's arms, and the latter's first reaction was to push her away in panic, but then froze in place.
At this time, there was a voice not far away.
//////
Four mechs were surrounding a male-looking man ready to fight.
A mecha officer said: "Anything can happen in the last days, and a person who has been killed by our own hands is actually shopping alive again?" Could it be that the king of the underworld is magnifying the fake? ”
The big man who was surrounded was not in a hurry, and sneered: "It turns out that you are the one who raided my Xu Feihu at the entry office." Can you tell me who you are and why you killed me? So that I can understand clearly. ”
"Hehe, in fact, there is no grudge between us and you. The reason why I killed you last time was a complete misunderstanding. ”
"Misunderstanding? Do you think I'm your damned father? ”
"Damn, I mistook you for a dreadnought."
"Oh? Your real target is Big Robin of the Dreadnought team? Why? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the dreadnought? ”
"Curiosity kills cats. Originally, you were just killed by mistake, and if you go incognito and fly away from now on, you may be able to live a few more days; But you kid swaggered down the road, shopped, and drank flowers. You deserve to be targeted by us. This time we will make sure that you have 10 more lives and you will not be able to resurrect again. ”
"I'm so scared." Xu Feihu smiled slightly, how could he have a look of fear. His star soul has been recoded by Lin Zaishan, so there are some traces of Lin Zaishan in his behavior and reaction mode.
The four mecha personnel shot at the same time, using cold weapons to greet Xu Feihu's vital point from all directions. The latter has made a qualitative leap in strength after being resurrected and transformed, and he has a clear insight into the dynamics of the 4 mecha personnel in his mind, and he counterattacks against the 4 people in less than 1 second.
"Boom", 4 mecha personnel were knocked down almost at the same time. The advanced mechs on their bodies provide good protection from injury.
They got up and looked at each other, "This kid's strength has skyrocketed, don't keep it, use the most powerful weapon against him!" ”
The four men showed off their individual laser guns, electromagnetic guns, attachment-enhanced assault rifles, and trap net launchers.
"Bang bang", 4 weapons fired at the same time.
At the same time, Xu Feihu pressed the energy shield on his finger, and an energy shield rose around his body, blocking all kinds of deadly attacks.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, ten intelligent flying mechs that maintained law and order in Midtown fell from the sky and surrounded the four mecha personnel. Then the alarm bell sounded, and after a while, Chu Yanjiao flew over the woods in a helicopter gunship. She jumped down under the escort of Zhan Feifei and 8 mecha personnel, and asked loudly:
"What's going on?"
An intelligent flying mech reported in a synthesized voice: "These four men tried to murder the man in the middle. ”
"No, we're just talking." The mecha killer at the head quibbled.
"Private fighting is strictly forbidden in Zhongcheng, and violators will be severely punished. Bring all 5 of them back to the Ministry of Public Security for strict interrogation! ”
//////
After everyone left, Li Yan and Chen Gengxin appeared in the grass, the former holding a mobile phone in his hand and recording the scene just now.
"Does Robin really have to be from the Dreadnought?" Li Yan lowered her head and pondered. "Also, where do these mech killers come from? How dare you commit murder in the middle of the city in broad daylight? ”
"It's better for us to ignore this kind of deadly idleness; Otherwise, it is easy to invite death. ”
"I understand." Li Yan herself is not afraid, but Chen Gengxin has no one to cover him, and any street gangster can kill him.
The two cautiously left the cemetery area, got into the dilapidated car parked in the bushes, and after driving a short distance, they heard shouting again.
I saw a female figure jumping sideways like a rabbit across the road and burrowing into the bushes next to it. Then two middle-aged men with weapons in their hands ran over panting, first glancing viciously at Chen Gengxin's car, and then asking, "Have you seen a girl running past?" ”
Li Yan responded coldly: "Please get out of the way quickly!" ”
"Huh? Isn't that the beautiful journalist? The two wicked men looked at each other with a clear malice in their eyes.
"The girl you're looking for has run in that direction." Chen Gengxin hurriedly pointed to the woods.
"You know each other." Two wicked men chased into the woods.
"Xinxin, how can you tell them where that girl really is?" Li Yan asked dissatisfiedly.
"Am I not thinking about the safety of the two of us? Besides, the girl has been running away for a long time, and they may not be able to catch up. ”
Li Yan stopped talking, and the car fell silent for a while.
Suddenly, Chen Gengxin's mobile phone rang with a prompt tone: "You have 1 new text message, please check it in time." "Apocalyptic Midtown has restored some communication services under the new technological conditions, and mobile phone communication is available within a radius of 100 kilometers covered by the signal towers.
Chen Gengxin glanced down at his phone, and hurriedly withdrew his pocket.
"What's the matter?" Li Yan asked with concern.
"No, no, no. It's just that my mom doesn't worry about me. ”
"Xinxin, do you think we should report on the law and order problem in Midtown?"
"Absolutely. Forget about Robin, though? ”
"If Robin really has to be a member of the Dreadnought, that's a big deal. After all, we've been out of touch with Shencheng for a few months. Li Yan suddenly remembered something, "Xinxin, I must go back to interview my uncle immediately." ”
"Okay, I'll send you."
At the gate of Huo's mansion, the two said goodbye.
Looking at Li Yan's disappearing back, Chen Gengxin breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of returning to Midtown Media, he drove east to a civilian neighborhood near the Third Ring Road. He pulled up his old car on the side of the road, walked into an alley, turned left and right, came to an apartment building, climbed to the third floor, and carefully knocked on the door of a certain room.
The door opened, revealing a woman with glasses behind the door. The woman welcomed Chen Gengxin into the room and threw herself into his arms. The two hugged and kissed tightly.
