Chapter 90: The Old Man
In the ruins, a man and a woman, one older and one small, walked through the rocky road, holding a white puppy behind them, and a chain disproportionate to their bodies hung around the neck of the little white dog. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's it ahead, it's a big change." Kong Lin glanced up at the line of defense made of barbed wire in the distance.
After leaving the Trace Chamber of Commerce, he took Lu Rong and the little white dog all the way to Tucheng on foot, he and the little white dog were strong, and it was not a problem to cross most of the city.
"Brother Kong, do you really want to go, the consumption level inside is not at the same level as the Chamber of Commerce." Lu Rong said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I have a way."
Kong Lin smiled slightly, and took Lu Rong into Tucheng.
There is nothing difficult to enter the city, the difficult thing is after entering the city!
"So many tents!" Kong Lin looked at the rows of dense tents in the past, his scalp was numb, especially some scrawny people came out of these tents from time to time, and he didn't know that he thought that this was a slum for exiled refugees in the old times!
You know, this is a dirt city, and the strongest armed forces in the city are gathered here!
A child covered in mud saw Kong Lin and Lu Rong in beautiful clothes, stepped forward timidly, looked at Kong Lin pitifully, and kept swallowing in his throat, looking very worthy of sympathy.
Kong Lin hesitated, he still had some food in his backpack, and there was no need to worry about eating and drinking after finding Yang Yulu in Tucheng, and there was no problem in giving those extra food to this child.
However, right here, Lu Rong pulled Kong Lin forward with all her might, ignoring the poor little boy at all.
"Don't be deceived, Tucheng will give the residents, especially the children, some food every day, so you don't have to worry about starving to death! These little children are out pretending to be pathetic and begging for food! Lu Rong paused and added: "I used to do this too, anyway, if you see this situation in the future, just walk away!" Those who have hands and feet do not try to survive, but have to occupy the resources that were originally allocated to people with real mobility problems! ”
Kong Lin was a little stunned when he heard this, and glanced back at the little boy, who was looking at him with a pair of resentful eyes!
……
The inner part of the castle was originally a low wall made of earth, but it was later expanded by the military, and the low wall became four or five meters high.
Along the way, Kong Lin learned that there is no one in his eyes, there is no way, there are many miserable and poor people, and there may be some sympathy at first, but later, only contempt remains.
Lu Rong is right, these people have the strength of their hands and feet, and they can form a team to pick up waste outside, although they can't get a few dollars, but it's better than living here!
Fortunately, the number of such poor people was not very large, and soon the two of them went to the normal area, which was covered with simple houses made of iron sheets, which were generally inhabited by scavengers, and the high-end ones were inhabited by capable people.
And this place, only one street away from the inner city of Tucheng!
"Hey, why are there so many tombstones there?"
Suddenly, rows of simple tombstones appeared in Kong Lin's eyes, these tombs were very exquisitely repaired, and colorful wreaths were hung on each grave.
"Those are the tombs of people who have contributed to Tucheng, you see the first one over there, it is the tomb of the former division commander, he led thousands of people to support the pace of the monster attack, and delayed us a lot of time, I heard that the tomb is empty, and the military did not find the body parts of the division commander." Lu Rong explained.
"I see."
Kong Lin couldn't help but go over to pay his respects, after all, strictly speaking, he and this division commander had fought on the same battlefield, and similar experiences were easy to induce good feelings.
"This is for those martyrs, there are too many people, so I can only put a tablet with my name." Lu Rong pointed to another grave and said.
Kong Lin glanced over, and among those names, he saw a few very familiar names, they were all members of his company, about a dozen, and there were some who had only met once, which had no effect, and Kong Lin couldn't remember it.
"The graves here belong to researchers, and they died on the research bench from exhaustion in order to study." Lu Rong continued.
Although the battlefields are different, everyone's purpose is the same, and this alone is enough for Kong Lin to pay a visit.
However, when he saw the name on one of the tombstones, his whole body was shaken, his brain was buzzing, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"This is the researcher named Xu Yuanchun, I heard that he is already very old and is still doing research day and night, and there are many reports written by him, quite a powerful person." Lu Rong praised.
Kong Lin looked up at the sky, blinked, and took a deep breath.
He didn't hear what Lu Rong was saying, but the memories of the past drowned out his senses, and at this moment, his mind was full of the scene he and Xu Yuanchun had discussed in the hospital.
Test the cold together, study the function of the cold together, and think about the use of the cold together. Scenes swayed past in Kong Lin's eyes, but it was a pity that things were wrong.
Before returning to Tucheng, he was still trying to tell Xu Yuanchun what he had found, and he was stunned in front of him......
"What's wrong? Do you know? Lu Rong noticed Kong Lin's mood change.
"Well, it's familiar, old friend." Kong Lin's voice trembled.
"Oh." Lu Rong replied lightly, and then stood behind Kong Lin, bowing her head, not daring to speak.
The atmosphere at the scene began to become dull, and only the little white dog was lying on the ground with unknown meaning......
I don't know how long it took for Kong Lin to take his eyes off the tombstone, and the dull atmosphere also dissolved at this moment.
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay."
Kong Lin sighed and took Lu Rong to the inner city, he was going to find Yang Yulu and his companions who had fought together, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he didn't know how they were doing.
"By the way, there are still several things between the regiments, which have been solved together!" Kong Lin looked at the city wall, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
I don't know if it was to welcome his arrival, but just as Kong Lin raised his feet and was about to move forward, a piercing air defense siren sounded in the sky of Tucheng!
"What's wrong?"
"Why did the alarm go off, didn't it say that the monster was cowering in the lair and didn't dare to come out?"
The able-booners, who had a leisurely face in the tin house, nervously walked out into the street, each with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.
It seems that something irresistible is coming towards them!
It didn't take long for a modified truck to appear in the distance, each with tongues of fire spewing out on it, and behind the truck, the figures of some monsters loomed.
"Did you fight back?" Kong Lin clenched his fists.
The inter-ethnic war seems to be starting again!
