Volume 2 The Federation Chapter 7 Constellations and the Future
When she woke up from a shattered nightmare, it was already dawn. And Princess Valen, she was gazing at her quietly with eyes that had become like large rubies.
"What's wrong?" She carefully wiped the corners of her eyes, a sticky piece, could it be eye droppings? "What's on my face?"
"You cried while you slept, and I put a pillow on you, but it soon got wet again," Heary said, turning over a roll of paper, "wipe it." ”
"Maybe I'm too tired, plus I encountered too many things last night," Tianxia smiled bitterly, "so I can't control the irritated tear ducts." ”
She looked around, some of the people around her had woken up, and a few were still asleep peacefully in the noise, and she noticed that some of the people who had entered the supermarket last night were gone.
"What about the two patients?"
"There haven't been any good changes, and I've heard that it's even worse," Ciri was clearly worried about the matter, "and if we don't plan to deal with them, I have a hunch that they'll deal with us." ”
They? It seems that those two patients must have become terrifying, otherwise Ciri would never have used the word "they" to describe them. Maybe it's really as she said, if you stay, something will happen sooner or later, but this supermarket .......
She didn't know if she would be able to find such a big supermarket and such a complete supply after going to the suburbs. "Shall we leave now!?"
"Preferably," Ciri looked cautiously at the rest room in the distance, "something can turn into an accident at any moment, and it's likely that someone will die here, and I don't want that person to be me." ”
"Can't you get those two patients out?"
Ciri gave her a blank look, "If your brother was caught by something unknown, and you didn't even know what had become of him, would you be willing to let the others kick him out!?" ”
Probably not? "Of course, I don't want to harm anyone."
Ciri was surprised by her decisive answer, and she smiled a little sarcastically, "Could it be that I have met an upright person who can kill my relatives in righteousness, or am I thinking you are vulgar?" However, the police and the doctor loaded up a sack of food and walked away, leaving no one brave enough to approach the lounge. A male student suggested that people should be locked up, but the boy who was beaten yesterday dissuaded him. ”
It seems that a beating can indeed teach people about humility...... It can also make people cowardly, and yesterday they didn't help the boy who was beaten, is this a mistake?
"Then we ......."
"Leave now."
They immediately found a hiking bag, first filled some medicine, found two lighters, oh, by the way, rolled up a small velvet blanket, Tianxia hoped to have a good place to sleep at night. They filled a small kettle and put a lighter and medicine into it. And then there's food, and they're going to get some compressed food with a long shelf life, and water. But when the tenth bag of food was about to be filled that summer, someone stood up.
"Two, the food belongs to everyone, isn't it too much for you to take so much?"
The two turned their heads in shock, it was the female senior student, she was followed by several girls they met yesterday, and on the other side, several young boys were stopping to watch, it was Li Ang and a few of his friends, they might not be able to move because they were boys, but these girls were different.
"We only took enough for three days, and I heard that Comrade Police Officer took a bag of hemp," Tianxia said with a strained face, "And, don't forget, the two of us were the first to arrive, and we didn't close the security door to keep you out." ”
"Times are different, circumstances are different, and now everyone has new rules," the girl named Liu Liu pretended to be calm, "We have to distribute food according to the number of people, otherwise the food in the supermarket will be depleted quickly, for everyone's fairness." ”
One bite for everyone, one bite for fair, it's really nice to say. "So, your fairness will only come after the comrade police officer with the gun is gone?" Tianxia sneered, "Good one." “
"This supermarket is a self-service supermarket," Ciri beside her suddenly spoke, "It's not yours, it's not the group behind you, according to federal law, it's the owner's," she took out a card from her bosom and slapped it on the cash register, "I'll buy this food from the cash register for a hundred times the price, but you ....... Kind sister, don't expect me to give you money. “
"You ......." Gao Xuesheng was choked and didn't know what to say, she looked at the gold card, of course she knew the value of the gold card, who boasted of being from an extraordinary background.
Now it was difficult to ride the tiger, and in the end, the top student was not so brazen as to declare that the food in the supermarket was not the owner's, and she had to watch them leave here slowly with the food.
Walking out of the supermarket, Tianxia couldn't help but ask, "The bank card can still be used now?" ”
"Of course not," Ciri rolled her eyes, "the electronic checkout counter is long gone, what to use?" It's just to make a show to let them know that my family is not expensive, if order is not restored one day, sooner or later my card will become a useless card, of course, anyway, I have left the card at the cash register, and the shopkeeper can do whatever he likes. ”
"How much is that card worth?"
"Ten million federal coins....... Ciri's light tone made Tianxia see the ugly local tyrant face of the federal magnates again. Ten million federal dollars, equivalent to twice the value of the property left by her parents, and this is enough for an ordinary schoolgirl like her to prepare a dowry for fifty marriages, and if she wants, she can marry and divorce, and marry and divorce again...... In other words, she will probably need to win the "Sea Deathmatch" Global Invitational Tournament a hundred times to earn this 10 million federal coins.
"You're so rich," she said sourly...... "why am I not as rich as you?" ”
Ciri looked at her with a little amusement and teased softly, "Ninety-nine percent of the world's people have this idea from you, but this is the first time I've heard someone say it to me. ”
"Bang !!" The violent vibration woke up Tianxia, who was falling into the association of ten million, it was the supermarket, she turned around, and looked surprised, "What sound?" ”
There was another tremor, what seemed to be the sound of glass breaking, and she asked, "Didn't you hear that?" ”
Ciri nodded cautiously, "What's wrong in the supermarket?" ”
Another crash, and then a sharp scream came from the supermarket, like thunder on the ground, which frightened Tianxia into taking a few steps back. After the scream, there was a suffocating silence, followed by the roar of the man, and the screaming and crying of the woman, and Tianxia saw someone run out.
"Let's run......."
She was right, we should run, Tianxia settled down, pulled up his feet and ran into the distance, and many people in the supermarket also ran out of the suburbs with them, including Na Liu Liu and Li Ang's group, as well as a few students from the Federal High School who had not left last night.
Tianxia ran straight to the corner at the end of the street, she looked back around the corner, and saw a young policeman shooting wildly at the supermarket, he was brave and did not flinch. Soon, the gunfire calmed down, I don't know if the police killed something, or something killed the police, Tianxia really didn't want to speculate too much, and didn't want to go back to find out.
By the time they panted and found a gas station on the outskirts of the city, it was nearly noon.
"What did they encounter?"
"You want to know?" Ciri took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Tianxia, then took out a large bag of bread, "I don't even dream of wanting to know what they encountered, why are you so curious!" Hurry up and eat it, and you'll have to continue on your way in a while. ”
But they are obviously unsettled and rising, because Liu Liu, Li Ang, and many students who have fled with them. They gasped and pushed the door open and walked into the gas station. "What a coincidence....... Ciri greeted with a smile, "I can meet you anywhere." ”
The young students stared at the food in their hands with round eyes, and they ran out before they could bring food and water, and right now, they were in desperate need of water to quench their thirst.
Looking at their fiery eyes, Tianxia was actually cautious, but fortunately Ciri relieved the siege, "There should be water at the gas station, you can go and find it, we paid a hundred times more for this water." ”
The female senior student did not thank Ciri for her enthusiasm, but instead stinked and walked straight into the staff building of the gas station with other boys and girls by herself. Li Ang smiled bitterly on the side, "Senior Sister Liu Liu has a lot of opinions about you. ”
"That's best," Tianxia pouted, disapproving, "remember to remind her that we care about her feelings." ”
The thin young man next to Leon, whose name Tianxia barely remembered was Leov, an international student from another federal district, explained, "Sister Liuliu and her own brother have lost contact in the vault, and they can't contact her parents, and now she is depressed, and I can assure you that she didn't mean to target you." ”
Ciri pursed her lips, "Each of us has lost no less than her, and I don't think you can get in touch with your parents, but I'll try to understand her feelings." ”
"She's my girlfriend," the thin young man hesitated for a moment, and he struggled to spit out the words, "and if she doesn't do anything right, I apologize to you for her." ”
Since even the high-achieving boyfriend has spoken like this, what can Tianxia and Ciri say, they have to say a few polite words, and then continue to stay with these annoying guys depressedly.
They don't please themselves for no reason, Tianxia understands that they want a piece of the food pie, and these people think that they can impress their compassionate hearts with their so-called enthusiasm and friendship or their ridiculously "handsome" countenance, and get them to give them a share of food? Not to mention her, Ciri is a veritable bitch goddess, and she has never let a man get any real benefits from her.
So, the task of making a mistake with these boys will be handed over to Ciri. Tianxia only had to pretend to be cold and listen to their trivial matters. In the simple casual conversation between Ciri and a few people, she learned that the top student was the daughter of a certain mayor of the second district, whose family was a famous military family, and her boyfriend also confided in his girlfriend's temper, his usual preferences, his favorite brand, and her mayor's father, by the way, and his travel plans. I heard that he originally planned to take advantage of the vacation and high-achieving students to go to Corolla, the Star of a Thousand Peaks, to see the largest mountain group in the empire. In short, Ciri and him delved into the most spectacular peaks of the Thousand Peaks Star, discussed the various visions since the apocalypse with Leon, discussed the pinnacle professional gods of the "Sea Deathmatch" game with the two brothers Mingjing Mingfu, discussed the popular stars with the timid girl Xiaoliang, and discussed the connection between constellations and the future with the lively dark-skinned girl, and the connection between personalities, in short, Ciri said a lot.
She thinks that the constellation determines the character, she thinks that the star of a thousand peaks Corolla can witness love, she thinks that the "Yalan" perfume can reflect a woman's taste better than the "Black Rose", she thinks that the spear god black dog can better reflect the peak of the generation of shooting players of the "sea deathmatch" than the sniper god Black Alpha, although most of this sounds nonsense in Tianxia, take that constellation as an example, the sow knows that the fortress of freedom has fourteen months, and it is all messy Devil, Sphinx, Harpy, Gargoyle and so on, but she can forcibly pull these together with Leo, Taurus, etc. of the Earth Federation, and she still looks like it.
But she was surprised to find that no one here seemed to reject her anymore, even though she wore a thick mask.
Before the high-achieving lady came back, the atmosphere between Ciri and this group of people was quite good.
So when Xia looked at the mayor's daughter empty-handed, he knew that she was closed again.
"Aliu," her boyfriend asked, "can't you get in?" ”
"No, there's an old man guarding the door who kicked us out," she was slightly upset at her boyfriend's questioning, "He thought everything was normal, there was no such thing as the end of the world, he thought we wanted to steal his things," thinking of this, the mayor's daughter couldn't help but scream, "Who is he, I really thought I would be poor enough to steal his things." ”
"But we can't drink any more water, so we'll have to steal it," Leon pointed into the distance, "there's a locked drink supermarket over there, and we can find a way to get in." ”
The others hesitated, "It's a crime," Liu Liu couldn't help but argue.
"In times of crisis, someone has to do something extraordinary," suggested a schoolgirl, "and being starved to death or being in prison for fifteen days is more cost-effective." ”
"That's true, I'd rather stay in prison for five years than starve for five days," Leon looked around, grabbed a fire axe from the fire box and headed for the supermarket, and the others couldn't help but follow.
