Chapter 53: The Beast in the River
As soon as the sky was faintly bright, a faint light shone through the window, and in the commissary, there was a uniform sound of breathing everywhere, and in a few places, there was a lot of snoring, and everyone was still asleep.
Zhou Che slowly opened his eyes, paused for a moment, fully sobered up, turned his head to observe, and did not dare to move too much.
Shu Meng leaned not far from him, Zhou Che glanced at it, and in the dimness, he could also see that her eyes were closed, her face was peaceful, and she slept very sweetly.
Everyone around him was still asleep, and this situation was exactly what he wanted, his heart froze, and when he turned his head, Uncle Li had woken up.
Afraid of waking up some people, so neither he nor Uncle Li spoke, Uncle Li nodded slightly, and then brought a black backpack from the side and handed it to Zhou Che.
This backpack didn't seem to contain much, but it was extremely heavy and textured in his hand, and he didn't think much about it, he just carried it on his shoulder.
What he didn't know was that Uncle Li, as a special soldier, had carefully selected the contents of this backpack, and the food he brought was small in size and high in calories, and such a small backpack could even make him last for half a month!
There was nothing to prepare, Zhou Che looked at Uncle Li, glanced at him, then nodded, and was about to walk out, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, turned around again, and took the javelin on the side.
Holding it in his hand and feeling it, Zhou Che smiled and went out again.
Uncle Li gave him a knife, but in his opinion, the knife could only be used for emergency self-defense, and he still felt that this javelin was easier to use, and it was easier to operate when encountering a giant rat.
The knife is too dangerous for him to be a cripple, and it is too dangerous to get close to the giant rat to kill!
Turning his head to look again, thinking that there was nothing missing, Zhou Che sighed lightly in his heart, and finally glanced at Shu Meng, then carefully opened the door and walked out.
Uncle Li also walked slowly, and followed Zhou Che out of the commissary, and only when he was farther away from the commissary did the two stop.
"Uncle Li, is there anything else?" Zhou Che smiled and said.
Uncle Li also smiled slightly, then took a deep breath, shook his head gently, and said, "Since you have already decided to leave, I respect your choice."
"Xiao Che, be careful all the way." Uncle Li's face was solemn, he looked at Zhou Che solemnly, and said.
Zhou Che naturally understood this, nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Li, these people in Tang City depend on you, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first."
After speaking, seeing Uncle Li nodding and not having anything to say, he smiled slightly, then turned around, carrying a backpack, holding a javelin in his left hand, and after a little hesitation, he still took a step.
He naturally knew that he might be able to live well if he stayed here, although he didn't have a long time here, but getting along with these people also made him feel at ease and warmth for the first time after the disaster.
Especially Uncle Li, as well as Shu Meng.
But he decided to go, he wanted to find his parents, even if the future journey can be said to be uncertain, it can be said that there are many difficulties, and dangers are everywhere, and even he doesn't know if his decision will have a result, and whether it will be meaningful in the end...
But he has already decided, he will not change, he is going to find his parents!
Even if he didn't know what their situation was now, whether they were alive or dead.
Seeing Zhou Che walk away, slowly walking outside the school, Uncle Li's face was solemn, and his eyes were also flashing with a hint of light, suddenly, his legs were slammed together, his right hand was raised, and he saluted in the direction that Zhou Che left.
After a while, when Zhou Che disappeared from sight, his throat rolled violently, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
Turning, he walked towards the commissary.
In the dim commissary, seeing that everyone was still asleep, Uncle Li smiled slightly, sat down, and then closed his eyes.
But at this time, Shu Meng opened her eyes and looked at the door of the commissary, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and two tears ran down her cheeks and slowly slid down.
Last night, she was uneasy and flustered, she didn't fall asleep at all, Zhou Che's every move, she actually knew everything...
Zhou Che, it's really gone!
...
"Hey, where is Brother Che?!"
More than an hour passed, and the sky outside was completely bright, and many people woke up from their sleep one after another, I don't know who exclaimed first, and then, one after another, exclamations sounded, and almost everyone woke up at this moment!
"Brother Che..."
"Brother Che, where did Brother Che go?!" Liu Xiaochao was a little flustered, and suddenly exclaimed.
Turning his head and looking around in the commissary a few times, he didn't see Zhou Che's figure, many people were stunned, and then thought of a possibility, and suddenly panicked in their hearts.
Lu Ting and Chen Qinghan also woke up, and after understanding what had happened, they were also slightly stunned, and immediately moved their eyes to Shu Meng, but saw Shu Meng with her eyes closed, as if she was still asleep, and she didn't know it at all.
But when they looked closely, they saw a large tear stain on their cheeks, and they fell silent for a moment.
"Xiao Che is gone, but don't panic, I'm here." Seeing the reaction of everyone in the commissary, Uncle Li said with a light face.
It may have been expected of this situation, and most of the people in the commissary did not react very much, but they all fell silent, and their faces were a little not good.
When Zhou Che came here on the first day, he said that he was going to leave here and go to Chuanhai City to find his parents, and they had long known that there would be such a day, but they didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.
Without their knowledge at all, Zhou Che was already gone!
Although in the past two days, Zhou Che has basically given them the impression of being brutal or a madman, but they also have a sense of dependence and convincing for Zhou Che in their hearts, and this feeling is even worse than Uncle Li!
"Brother Che... That's it! Liu Xiaochao sniffed and suddenly said with some sadness.
The surrounding people were slightly stunned, and then looked at Liu Xiaochao, feeling strange in their hearts.
Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?!
"Okay, now that everyone is awake, let's eat first, and then plan what we do today, don't talk about it, I'm still here, what's the panic!" Uncle Li suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice.
He knew very well in his heart that Zhou Che's departure was a big blow to them, and even more serious ones could shake the hope of survival in their hearts!
If he also leaves here like Zhou Che, I'm afraid these people will collapse directly!
Seeing Uncle Li speak, many people nodded, and the feeling of depression in their hearts also dissipated a lot in an instant.
"Okay, listen to Uncle Li!" Yang Hao suddenly laughed.
"Yes, Uncle Li is still here!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them nodded in agreement and smiled.
Uncle Li sighed lightly in his heart, then turned his head to look at Shu Meng on the side, and shook his head slightly.
And just when everyone in the commissary accepted it, Zhou Che had already moved away from the scope of Tangcheng Middle School and came to the Xinjiang River, at the head of a bridge...
"After crossing this bridge, I will leave Tangcheng, which should be regarded as the Shinshu area." Zhou Che thought in his heart, then glanced back, and did not hesitate for too long, and stepped directly on the bridge.
Zhou Che was also a little glad that the two bridges next to him had been broken, and it just so happened that the bridge in front of him was still intact, otherwise, he didn't know how far he would have to detour...
Leaving Tang City and heading to Chuanhai City, he also knew how far and difficult the journey was, but he had never thought of changing this plan.
It's just that when he really left here, in addition to countless indescribable emotions in his heart, there was only a blank left.
At this moment, his head, groggy and numb.
As for those people in Tangcheng Middle School, he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore...
Turning his head and glancing, he had been here before, although the river was not very clean, but it was still clear, but at this moment, I don't know if it was caused by this disaster, the river was rolling and flowing, but it was extremely yellow.
If it weren't for the fact that the scope of this Xinjiang River is not very vast, he would have almost thought that he had come to the Yellow River...
This Xinjiang River is the boundary between Tangcheng and Xinzhou, the river is 100 meters wide, and there will be light night scenes on both sides of the river in normal times, which is very famous, and it is also one of the most lively places in Tangcheng.
However, in retrospect, it is perhaps necessary to add the word "once", and most of the buildings here are now in ruins.
The number of dead and wounded here should be quite a lot, but at the moment it is deserted, and there is no one to see at all, I don't know if there are still people like them in those remaining buildings, who have survived and hid in a small place to survive...
Zhou Che's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the muddy yellow water in the Xinjiang River again, but his footsteps did not stop, but just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, the river in front of him suddenly began to surge violently!
Zhou Che's eyes froze, and then his cheeks twitched slightly, seeing that the river was tumbling more and more violently, and then a huge figure suddenly leaped out of the water, and it was actually flying in this direction of him.
"I'm rubbing! What monster?! Zhou Che was startled, and he didn't have time to react, almost instinctively his body dodged to the side!
"Boom!"
Zhou Che only felt a burst of fishiness, and then a huge roar came, and this huge figure leaped directly over the bridge, falling on the other side, violently stirring up huge waves!
Muddy water droplets fell towards him like raindrops, and there was no way to dodge it, and his whole body was directly drenched into a soup chicken!
It's just that at this moment, Zhou Che didn't have the heart to care about these at all, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his face was blank...
What the hell is that?!
