Chapter 248: It's Raining
Outside the window, everyone was in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Silence became the main theme, and most of the voices that could be heard in the city were the staff of various ministries conveying instructions.
Among them, the staff of the Far Rescue Association are constantly shouting, and they are clearing the road and arranging for evacuation. Most of the first to enter the evacuation route were elderly and children, all of whom carried bags containing their belongings, mostly dry food and cold water.
From the direction of Cai Guan and others' detour and withdrawal, hundreds of modified vehicles have been waiting for a long time, and the first batch of evacuated people rushed to the convoy as fast as possible, lined up in line and boarded the car one by one. The child fell and did not dare to cry, and the old man was tired and did not dare to stop. Although the propaganda department of the General Commander and the Far Salvation Association repeatedly emphasized that this was only acting on the orders of the superiors, and that it was not a defeat and escape. But in the minds of most people, if the front line is still solid, what reason do they have to leave Xinyuanjiang?
Of course, even if they thought that the city would be broken, there were still many people who chose to stay, most of them were young and middle-aged, and these people who were unwilling to flee and were determined to live and die with Xinyuanjiang, regardless of gender, were gathered in various open areas to receive weapons distributed by the general staff.
It was not intended to bring these untrained residents into battle to be cannon fodder to fend off the tide of corpses. The reason why the weapons are distributed is that they will have the ability to protect themselves when they evacuate or break out, and even in the worst-case scenario, they will at least be able to raise their guns and shoot a glorious bullet at their heads.
"Ugh." Qiao Shan closed the window and cast a soft gaze on the three women in the small room, reluctant to give up.
The young woman in her thirties is Qiao Shan's current wife, and the other two little girls in their teens are orphans adopted by Qiao Shan, which is Qiao Shan's new family reformed on Jiangxin Island.
This family gave Qiao Shan love and affection, disasters can deprive gentle feelings, but can not stop human nature yearning for these two feelings, in Jiangxin Island into the reconstruction stage, life gradually stabilized, Qiao Shan, who is alone, met his current wife, the two of them look at the right eye in this environment, what will happen in the future can be imagined.
In the past, Qiao Shan never thought that he would have a flash marriage when he was in his forties, but now at this time, who cares about that? After marrying his wife, both of them wanted a child, but they didn't dare to let their children be born in such a world, and finally decided to adopt orphans, so Qiao Shan asked someone to find a relationship and went through the formalities to adopt two girls who lost their parents.
Although they didn't have much time together, Qiao Shan found that he was really in love with this family of four, and the traditional concept of the past was no longer important, it didn't matter if his daughter was not his own, he could also be treated as his own, because now they have become the driving force for Qiao Shan's life.
After being evacuated from Jiangxin Island, he lost his identity as the owner of the Zero Point Bar, and Qiao Shan could only be an unemployed vagrant, but fortunately, he had saved a lot of contacts and savings in the Zero Point Bar before, and he could eat well in Xinyuanjiang for a while, and he did not have to live in the slums, but could have a lot of time to spend with his family and enjoy warmth.
Although the food is not as good as before, when the family is together, even if you drink some porridge without sugar, it is still sweet.
But the good times didn't last long, and this dreamlike life was still an illusion in the end, like a soap bubble, looking colorful, and it didn't take long for it to fall apart.
It can't be said that this war came too suddenly, before that, at the oath meeting of the Far Salvation Association, everyone knew that there would be such a war sooner or later, but no one expected that the mutant would have such a means. Who would have thought that the wise and martial Commander Liu and Chairman Yang would also be in trouble?
"Alas, you guys should go too, I'll say hello to a few old acquaintances of the Far Rescue Society, and arrange it for you, it should be too late to leave now." Qiao Shan sighed again, turned his head away as he spoke, not daring to look at his wife's face.
"If you don't go, I won't go. To die together, what is there to fear about mutants. The wife's reply was so resolute that it was hard to imagine that she had been a weak woman who would be scared to cry by rats and cockroaches.
"That Yingying, what should Yueyue do!" Qiao Shan couldn't help but increase his tone, and said from the bottom of his heart that he was very relieved to hear his wife's reply, and even wavered for a moment, selfishly hoping that she could really stay with him until the last moment, instead of letting himself die as a lonely person, but he couldn't be so selfish, he still had two daughters, and he couldn't let them be alone.
"They have already been orphaned once, do you want to let them lose their parents at the same time!" Qiao Shan stared at the floor, gritting his teeth, not knowing whether he was reprimanding his wife or his own selfish thoughts.
"What about me?" The wife suddenly shouted hysterically, "I've been a widow once, are you going to let me lose my lover again!" ”
This sentence was like a strong crossbow, nailed to Qiao Shan's heart, making his face pale and his lips fluttering.
"What can I do, then what can I do! Even if it's for Yingying Yueyue, I beg you, don't spend any more time here, hurry up! Qiao Shan pushed away the table in front of him and smashed the teacups and rice bowls on it, which frightened the two little girls to pout, extremely aggrieved, and their little faces wrinkled, as if they might cry at any time.
But they still didn't shed tears, life in the last days has taught them how to be strong, they are no longer flowers in a greenhouse, they are no longer as fragile and delicate as their peers in the outside world.
"Dad, why can't you come with us?" Extroverted, clever and sensible, Yingying walked up to Qiao Shan, pulled Qiao Shan's sleeve, and shook it gently, opening a pair of innocent big eyes, full of pleading.
Qiao Shan squeezed out a bitter smile that was more ugly than crying, and reached out to touch Yingying's cheek, which felt a little rough, which was the trace left for her by her difficult life.
"Baby, baby, wife." Qiao Shan shouted out the names of his wife and daughter one by one, and said very solemnly, "Everyone else is fighting for us, I can't go, I really can't go." ”
After saying that, Qiao Shan made a decision, he knew that he had been a little shaken, and if he hesitated any longer, he might make a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life, so he stood up and walked decisively to the door, where a weapon distribution point was handing out weapons.
No matter how his wife scolded and cried behind him, Qiao Shantou didn't reply, he greeted his acquaintances in advance in the Far Rescue Association, and after a while, a staff member came to arrange for his wife and daughter to evacuate, even if they refused, they would be forcibly evacuated.
Taking the rifle handed to him by the commander-in-chief, Qiao Shan seemed to have taken over a heavy mountain range, but he straightened his spine and withstood the pressure.
At this moment, Qiao Shan felt that he was great, just as great as Chairman Yang and Commander Liu. Endless vitality poured out of the aging body, and Qiao Sanye, who walked out of the orphanage twenty years ago and cut a way out of the watermelon knife with a watermelon knife, is back.
"I'm Qiao San, I'm back." Qiao Shan grinned, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying, and suddenly felt a little moist on his face, Qiao Shan reached out and touched his face, ashamed that he would shed tears.
But then, my cheeks got wet again.
Qiao Shan was stunned, he raised his head and looked into the sky, and a drop of rain happened to float into his eyes.
It's raining?
Woo –
Woo————
After a lapse of 200 days and nights, the air defense siren sounded again in Yuanjiang.
