Chapter 61: Kissing
The reason why the SWAT chose the underground mall as the station was simple, because it was safer than the above-ground station, and there was no need to think too much about the long-term problem of being a temporary station. But after careful consideration, we still plan to use this place as a long-term base.
However, the dark underground mall was not so suitable for survival, and the generator had limited fuel, so sooner or later it would not be able to maintain the underground lighting consumption, so we decided to move the living place to the ground mall.
The first task of moving up was to close and reinforce all the large and small exits, and when this work was done, we began to move the underground materials one after another.
Although it was still daylight, the mall on the ground floor was still dark, and we had covered every window to prevent the walking dead from breaking in, which reminded me of the school cafeteria.
We chose Decathlon on the second floor as our daily retreat, with its many outdoor tents and warm sleeping bags. After cleaning up the messy floor, the place is finally a lot cleaner.
The heavy rain a few days ago allowed us to collect a lot of rainwater, which we boiled in a portable stove in a department store and used it for drinking or bathing. Portable stoves are a good thing, we don't have to put up with cold canned food anymore, and canned food is mixed with some dry food and steamed, and it tastes different.
"Hahaha, look at what the old man is wearing on his hands?" Ye Lao's laughter came from outside, and the mall was full of his echoes, looking empty and lonely.
Ye Lao proudly showed us a Rolex water ghost worth tens of thousands that he got in the watch shop: "Haha, the former officers admired this thing the most, and it looks good when it is worn on my hand!" Why aren't you interested? Hey, today's young people know how to chase digital products......"
"No, no, no, I used to hear my dad say that men have to wear this kind of watch to show maturity, old man, you can wear it majestic."
"Hahaha, huh?" Ye Lao laughed.
The young man who spoke was called Zhang Hao, and he cleared up his relationship with Fang Bin in just a few words. He told us that at that time, the murderer went on a killing spree, and the scene was extremely chaotic, and Fang Bin, who was hiding with him, believed that Su Aaron was the inner ghost who put the murderer in, and cursed to dismantle him.
At this time, Song Lili also hid in, so he kidnapped her and asked Su Aaron, who came in later, to hand over his pistol. At first, Su Yalun flatly denied that he had a gun, but Fang Bin was so fierce that he cut off Song Lili's finger and threatened him. Su Yalun was like being struck by lightning and all his thoughts were lost, so he had to obediently hand over the only pistol on his body, which made Fang Bin even more sure that he was an accomplice who wanted to put him to death......
Although Jang Ho's explanation is convincing, I don't believe he didn't contribute to this matter anyway. He was still mingling with Ye Lao, Xiao Jiu and Guan Fei, and I patted my ass and stood up.
"I'm full!" With that, I walked outside.
"Senior, wait for me!" Xiao Lin didn't go far before she followed, "Where are you going?" ”
"Take it easy!" My heart warmed up when I saw Xiao Lin, I had been tormented by nightmares these days, and I couldn't give up, until I understood that I had to bury the past and move on to live up to my still living companion.
Xiao Lin suddenly circled my hand and buried her head in my arm, and a soft touch made me feel soft.
She spat out her red tongue lightly and said, "When I was desperate, the senior was the first to reach out to me, and I also wanted to reach out to you when you were desperate, but it seems to have failed......"
I remembered her company these days, but I always ignored it in a daze, I couldn't help but feel pity, so I pulled my hand out of her arms, put my arm around her shoulder, and said softly: "It's nothing, Xiao Lin, I didn't let you come with you when I went to the hospital to save Lu Feng that day, but I didn't expect you to fall into the devil's cave......"
She shook her head slightly and whispered, "I know you're doing it for my good, I've always known ......"
Oops, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere between each other was terrible, and both of us stopped before they knew it, and I was still holding her, but my foreheads were already touching each other. She closed her eyes, as if waiting for something.
I remembered the moment when she almost kissed me at the commissary, so I bent my neck stiffly downward, pursed my lips and reached for her soft, moist little mouth, and this time no one stood in our way.
Just as our lips were about to come together, "Bang! The sudden noise startled us, and we immediately separated, and the atmosphere was gone. Xiao Lin arranged her hair, breathing a little quickly.
"I'm sorry!" But my heart was crying bitterly. She immediately shook her head and bit her lower lip.
"I—let's go up and have a look!" Embarrassed, I pointed upward. She nodded lightly and took my arm again.
We went down the escalator to the third floor. It is full of branded clothing stores: DIESEL, Semir, ELLE, UNIQLO, C&K...... And so on. Xiao Lin's eyes lit up immediately, and she dragged me into the shops. (Brand Enlarged, LV,)
"Wow, this outfit ......", "I've seen this dress in magazines......", "This handbag...... Ah, so expensive! She screamed like a sparrow.
She took off all the clothes she wanted, took them into the fitting room, and asked me to wait outside. I only heard the sound of changing clothes from the other end of the curtain, and the sweet humming of the girl. I swallowed and stared intently at the curtain as if I could stare at the skill of perspective.
"Lalala......" she jumped out of the fitting room like a deer, her eyes wide open in anticipation of my review.
She wore a thin white shirt, carried a white handbag, and a black short skirt underneath, and her white slender legs swayed gently under the skirt...... In short, it's the line of a workplace secretary. A 16 or 7-year-old girl is childish with a bit of mature femininity, which reminds me of what she will look like when she grows up.
"It's okay, it's okay......" I replied perfunctorily on the surface.
"Squeak-" she pouted, staring at me disapprovingly, "Okay, look at this!" He jumped into the fitting room again.
The curtain opened, and in front of her was a girl in a white sleeveless dress, her bare shoulders were white and flawless, and when she turned around, her long skirt danced, and people were stunned.
"How?" She had no shoes on her feet, and even clean ankles made my heart skip a beat.
"This, this, better than just now......" I didn't mean it.
After changing a few more clothes, she suddenly relaxed and sat on the stool: "I couldn't imagine when I came shopping with Xiaoqian before, such good-looking clothes can be worn by myself casually, and I can't even look at the price card......"
She showed a sad expression: "But why can't I be happy......"
I also fell into silence, the laughter of my friends kept passing in front of me, remorse, self-blame, things are wrong, maybe these beautiful clothes are not worn for themselves at all, but looking forward to the appreciative eyes of others, behind the crowded shopping mall, the real attraction is not the famous brand at all, but the crowd itself.
In order not to let the atmosphere continue to be cold, I puffed up: "I haven't seen a movie in a long time, let's go to the movies together!" ”
Her eyes widened: "Scared, what do you think?" ”
"Just listen to me!" I pulled her up, but she said "wait" and dragged me into another clothing store.
She handed me a white T-shirt and pushed me into the fitting room: "Change it on!" ”
I had to change it obediently. It's just an ordinary T-shirt, and it looks very cheap in this mall where you can wear it casually in Armani and Dunhill.
However, when I walked out of the fitting room and saw a girl wearing the same women's T-shirt as me, smiling in front of me, it dawned on me that this was a couple's outfit!
I have two blue letters "LO" on my chest and pink "VE" on my chest. Xiao Lin took my hand and walked forward happily, as if this dress was more expensive than those luxury brand clothes worth tens of thousands.
We walked up the escalator to the theater on the fourth floor. After entering the two doors with "Cube Cinema" printed on them, a soft red carpet spreads out in front of you.
Walking along the aisle, the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows appear in front of you, and you can see the gray city sky. Looking down from here, the streets are dusty, garbage, and countless walking corpses are limping along. A bolt of lightning swept through the rain clouds in the distance, but soon disappeared into the sky, and the city was terrifyingly large.
There is a counter on my left, and next to the counter are two huge character billboards, a giant "human" and a monster standing together, the monster has sharp fangs, the whole body is pitch black, and the cloudy saliva drips from between its teeth, which is very terrifying, and Xiao Lin is frightened for a while, and hugs me tightly.
Below the character board is the title of the film, Prometheus 2: The Contract. The first part of this film I have seen is a prequel to the famous series of films "Alien". The film reveals the truth that man is created by God, and this "god" is the giant "human" standing next to the monster.
What really scares me is this "human", God created man according to his own form, but it is only a cloning experiment, and man is nothing more than a worm or a domestic animal to them. This "person" with fierce eyes and pale skin reveals an ominous aura that makes people shudder.
If I had the chance, I would have liked to watch the sequel to this film, but it seems that it will not be possible in my lifetime...... I couldn't help but sigh as I looked out the window again, the cold city shrouded in a chaotic sky, a world more terrifying than the film.
We walked down the hall to the hallway where the projection rooms were placed, and the light dimmed again as we left the floor-to-ceiling windows. On the wall are more than a dozen framed movie posters, all of which were recently released.
I suddenly felt that it was a bad idea to bring Xiao Lin here, I had never felt so terrible in the cinema, some of the screening rooms had their doors open, but they were dark inside, and most importantly, there was silence all around. Once there is no sound at all, people tend to have a deep fear of the sudden sound.
When I walked into a screening room, the light inside became brighter, and I guess the lighting equipment cleverly projected sunlight in. I sat down with Xiao Lin.
"Ahem," I cleared my throat, "well, the movie is officially starting to reflect!" ”
My voice echoed through the hall.
"Knock, ......knock, knock—knock, click," I lamely mimicked the opening of a 20th Century Fox film with my voice, causing Lynn to laugh.
"Once upon a time,there is......" I began to recite aloud the lines from an animated movie called Beauty and the Beast that I had watched. When I encounter something I forget, I will go over the nonsense, sometimes mixed with a few words of Mandarin, but it is also funny.
Xiao Lin covered her mouth and laughed wildly: "Come again, hahaha......"
Looking at Xiao Lin, who was smiling so cutely, my heart was also sweet, and I secretly made up my mind that no matter how difficult it was, I must protect this smile.
At the end of the story, he lives happily with her...... "I ended the story with a train full of mouths."
Xiao Lin was also tired of laughing, and pillowed her head on my shoulder. Slowly, our eyes naturally met, I stared at her, she looked up at me, and in this perhaps the loneliest movie theater in the world, we kissed, and this kiss was long, long to the end of the world, and this kiss was also short, so short that we felt that no matter how long it was, it was still unfinished......
