Chapter 282: Waiting
After Xu Shu and the others left, Cheng Yang and I simply shrunk in a corner and sat quietly, from time to time to see if the number of walking corpses under the platform had decreased or increased, after watching it several times in a row, I simply chose not to bother myself, the densely moving human heads, once I thought that those rotten things were so manic because I desperately wanted to disembowel Cheng Yang and me, I felt an indescribable disgusting feeling from the bottom of my heart.
The rain will be big and small, and the raincoat can't withstand the drenching for so long, and it has been completely soaked from the inside, but fortunately, the body is wrapped in a blanket, but in the previous fight, the hat of the raincoat has been completely opened, and the head is all soaked.
Cheng Yang noticed me and stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Trembling shook his head at her: "It's not good." ”
According to this form, it is impossible not to get sick if you drench like this.
Stretching out his hand to try the raindrops, Cheng Yang said helplessly: "It looks like this rain is going to fall for a while, can you still hold it?" ”
Shaking his head tremblingly again: "What can I do if I can't hold it, I have to hold it if I can't hold it." ”
Sighing, Cheng Yang sat next to me and was silent for a while before speaking: "Is the child's father still there?" ”
Wrapped the blanket under the raincoat tightly, trying to control himself not to pay too much attention to the raindrops in front of him, he barely managed to calm down and replied, "Yes." ”
"I'm curious what kind of person attracts you, married before the world became like this?"
Shaking his head, "On the contrary, the two of us only met when the world was just becoming what it is now. ”
"Oh, living and dying together." Nodding happily, Cheng Yang didn't know if he thought of something, he seemed to be a little happy, and after a while, he spoke again: "Can you tell me about him?" ”
I turned my head and glanced at Cheng Yang, she probably thought I didn't like to talk about this, and hurriedly explained: "Anyway, we don't have anything to do now, they have to think of the team in front of them, at least they won't be back until noon, we can't just sit dry." ”
I waved my hand to show that I didn't mean that, glanced at the river from a distance, and I slowly said to Cheng Yang like a memory: "....... From the beginning, my brother and I were really embarrassed when we suddenly faced the environment in front of us, my brother was in his third year of high school, he was not very old, and I didn't have the masculinity that a big boy should have, so at that time, in order to protect him, I could only try to adjust myself first, but you know, some things are not so easy to accept, and the whole world has been transformed overnight, which has a great psychological impact, and it is difficult to make yourself believe in everything that is happening in front of you. ”
Cheng Yang asked, "Is your brother still there?" ”
Nodding his head, he replied, "Yes, much stronger than before, since he came to lock the sky, he has gradually begun to change, and now it is like that, like a little knight." ”
Being reminded by Cheng Yang, I suddenly unconsciously began to recall things when He Yangyang was a child, about when he was three or four years old, once I played peek-a-boo with him, I hid under a car, he couldn't find it, wow wow crying and shouting sister, thinking I was gone, I hid under the car and secretly looked at him, and then I saw his small body wiping his tears and tiptoe to look inside when he passed by the trash can. At that time, that picture was inadvertently frozen in the long river of my memory, like a yellowed old photograph, and I felt very clear every time I thought about it.
After saying that, Cheng Yang's face flashed, and he said as if he was whispering: "I also have a younger brother." ”
Turning his head to look at her, Cheng Yang looked in a trance and seemed to be thinking far away: "Very well-behaved, very obedient, surrounded by walking corpses in the car, he was so young that he could not cry, and then Sun Simiao appeared with many of them and saved the two of us..." ”
Glancing at her, the two children before, after the boy was bitten by a poisonous snake, looked at her reaction not like it was with her brother, and the other was a girl, if that's right... Her brother must be gone.
Exhaled slightly, no wonder it was like this.
There was a ride and a pair chatting with Cheng Yang, I don't know if the sky was finally bright, and the rain finally stopped, but looking at the low pressure of the clouds, I also knew that there must be a bigger burst of rain behind.
The two of us stopped chatting and were all paying attention to the river, if Sun Simiao and the others couldn't find the others, then even if their original team came back now, the two hundred walking corpses below would be enough for us to drink a pot.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was noon, Cheng Yang and I hadn't moved our bodies for a long time, and our eyes were almost spent staring at the river for a long time, and after looking at it for a long time, even looking at the turbulent river surface could have imaginary hallucinations.
Noon passed quickly, and the rain that had been held back for a morning finally began to fall, and it was as good as last night's heavy rain, and there was no human figure on the river from beginning to end.
Maybe something is delayed, maybe wait two more minutes, maybe another ten minutes, maybe another half an hour......
Under such self-persuasion and comfort, the sky was gray again.
The sun rises and sets, the stars change, as if we are powerless at the moment, we can't stop everything from happening, we can only watch it happen, and accept it.
After it got completely dark, I was very discouraged, and my mind was constantly thinking about some nonsense, and I couldn't control it at all.
Cheng Yang didn't say much, but after it got dark, he sat back on the ground and lay on his knees and seemed to start resting.
We hadn't slept for a day and a night, so we rubbed our swollen heads, pulled up our raincoats, and sat down on the floor, following her example, and leaned on her knees.
Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the raincoat and the sound of rain constantly echoing in the darkness around me, a sense of despair suddenly came up.
There is an indescribable tiredness all over his body, dealing with the walking corpse, dealing with the apocalypse, dealing with nature, dealing with the world, and dealing with those around him who hide behind the smile of charity.
Probably too tired, after thinking about it so crankily, I fell asleep deeply, and I slept until dawn when I maintained this position, and when Cheng Yang woke me up, my legs and arms were already numb, and I sat in place for a while before I could move slightly.
Looking at the river in the distance, I am going to start waiting again today.
I think of a play of the absurdist that awaits Godot.
Although Cheng Yang and I are not in the same state as waiting for Godot, the kind of waiting thoughts are completely the same, but no one will inform the two of us when it gets dark that 'Godot' will not be coming today.
Just looking at the river so quietly, the rain stopped again, compared to yesterday's low-pressure weather, today is much better, and by noon, there is even some sunlight through the clouds.
Noon passed, and even Cheng Yang's face showed a look of doubt and anxiety.
At dusk again, the two of us had lost hope at all, sitting on the top floor, the walking corpses downstairs still shouting day and night, so close contact with them, one tall and one short, for two days, finally I finally understood their tireless true state.
Just when the two of us had not spoken all day, and almost all thoughts were lost, suddenly the sound of an engine was faintly heard from the river in the distance.
I raised my head violently in disbelief, and under the obstruction of my vision, I couldn't see if there was really a ship approaching us in that direction, for fear that it was my own hallucination, I was busy suppressing my heart that was instantly excited, and listened carefully, yes! The engine is still there!
There are really ships approaching us!
Cheng Yang had obviously heard it, and the two of us glanced at each other, stood up from the ground, and looked at the river in surprise.
In this way, in the almost burning gaze of the two of us, the familiar ship slowly appeared in front of our eyes, and the lights on the ship were already on before it got dark.
Even from such a distance, I could still see the lock sky standing on the deck at a glance.
The moment I saw him, my nose instantly ached, and I waved my arms and shouted at him, "Hey! We're here! We're here! ”
Cheng Yang also began to shout: "There are people here!" There are people here!! ”
There were a lot of people standing on deck, and as soon as we shouted, someone on the boat began to wave in response to the two of us.
Sun Simiao: They are also on board! There are also Yangyang, Shen Feng, Han Xue...
When I saw those familiar people, my heart finally settled down after two days of helplessness.
The movement of the ship attracted the attention of the walking corpses, and some of them subconsciously followed the sound towards them.
They quickly stopped near the shore, which was not a serious dock, so they first entered the water before they could go ashore, and they were the first to absolve from the boat with a group of men in black with guns.
They were very fast, once again showing their usual training, after going down to the water to stabilize their figures, locking the sky and making a set of gestures, the men in black began to spread out in a regular manner, which was their more common combat formation.
The walking corpses on the shore were quickly cleaned up, and the man in black quickly came ashore and approached in the direction we were......
