34 The road is narrow
[All kinds of recommendations, collections! ] 】
However, although he inadvertently found the crux of the problem, Liu Xingyu still had nothing to do.
At the same time, what he thought of in his heart was another possibility, maybe the mysterious ring was like a large battery, which was currently in the stage of shortage of "mind" power, and when it was filled, it would naturally not be so brutally sucking up the little bit of "mind" power that he had so hard accumulated.
But here's the problem, who knows when you can fill the ring with "mind" power?
Bang!
In the dead silence of the book city, a sudden sound sounded, which immediately woke Liu Xingyu up.
Liu Xingyu tried to recall the situation in the book city, and when he entered the south gate, there was a circular foyer, two oval doorways on the left and right, and he went to the main hall on the first floor, which was an area for selling audio-visual discs. In the middle of the foyer is the escalator to the second floor, and the entire second floor is a place to sell books.
The sound just now came from the second floor, which is far away, and it should be close to the North District, which is the junction of the two buildings in the north and south, and is also the place where small supermarkets and restaurants are concentrated.
Liu Xingyu relied on his memory, groped forward step by step, passed through the doorway on the left, followed the corridor on the left side of the first floor, and touched the north-south connection area.
In less than 200 meters, Liu Xingyu walked for more than ten minutes, really stepping silently, stopping step by step. Walking to the end of the corridor, Liu Xingyu hid on the side of the wall pillar, waiting quietly.
Here, there are steps in the middle, up to the connecting corridor area of the north and south areas on the second floor, and the left and right sides are passages, and a few steps are the north gate of the south area of the book city, and through an avenue, it is the south gate of the north area of the book city.
If someone had accidentally made that noise while looting supplies, they would probably have come down from here, but it was also possible that they were heading straight from the second floor to the south or north gate.
After a while, a faint light flashed in the connecting corridor area on the second floor, and Liu Xingyu shrank back and poked his head out, revealing only a pair of eyes, staring at the steps.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and from time to time there was a faint LED light flashlight, although it was quickly extinguished, but in the dark book city, it was like a lighthouse lit on the sea at night, which was very conspicuous.
There were three people in the group, each carrying a huge backpack, and although they were very careful, the footsteps were still clearly audible.
Liu Xingyu just watched silently, with no intention of going out to say hello, let alone killing people and selling goods. The backpacks of the three confirmed what he thought, and most of the materials in the small supermarket in the book city had not been looted.
The three of them slowly walked down the steps, turned a corner, and walked towards the north gate of the southern district of the book city, just when Liu Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, the person behind the hall suddenly stood still, slowly put down his backpack, and turned around.
"Super Brother ......"
Hush!
The person who spoke softly, Liu Xingyu had some impressions, it was in front of the gymnasium that there were five people who wanted to take down Fang Xuyuan's three daughters and have a good time, four of them were killed by Liu Xingyu, only this person saw that the situation was not good, and fled, but he didn't expect that here, Liu Xingyu saw him again. As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by the man who turned around and signaled to silence.
There was silence, deathly silence all around, but Liu Xingyu knew very well that the three of them were standing there and did not move.
After a long time, a deep voice came: "Friend, since you are here, why don't you show up and get to know each other?" ”
The voice was soft, but Liu Xingyu could hear it clearly, he wasn't sure if the other party really found him, or if it was just a fraud.
The other party said three times in a row, Liu Xingyu still didn't move, and after a long time, the voice that asked just now sounded again: "Brother Chao, isn't it, it's a mistake?" ”
Brother Chao didn't say anything, and it took two or three minutes before he took a breath and whispered: "Well, I'm afraid it's a mistake, but the feeling just now, well, forget it, let's go, hurry up, I can remember it again today." ”
The footsteps were far away, and Liu Xingyu was sure that the three of them were walking away, so he flashed out, went up the steps in the dark, and went up to the second floor.
There are four small supermarkets selling bagged food, drinking water and beverages, each with its own characteristics, which cleverly avoids vicious competition.
Liu Xingyu walked straight to the small supermarket, only to turn on the LED light small flashlight, and as soon as he found that the things inside had traces of being moved, he immediately withdrew and went to the next one.
Among the four small supermarkets, only one of the things in the house remained intact, Liu Xingyu was immediately unceremonious, first looted all the bottled water and drinks, and then the bagged food on the shelves, whether it was expired or not, swept into the space ring.
As for the things in the other three small supermarkets, he didn't move them, not because he had the potential to become a virgin like Chen Yuzhu, but because he felt that leaving some room for others was actually leaving some room for himself.
After the search, he walked north along the second floor, came out of the north gate of the north district of the Central Book City, walked through the district government square, and returned to the gymnasium.
"How's that, how's that?"
As soon as Liu Xingyu flashed into the house, Chen Yubi asked eagerly.
"Well, you can go." Liu Xingyu replied briefly.
"So now are you ready to go?" There is no one who is so eager to return to the Shenguan Bay Hotel except Chen Yuzhu.
Before Liu Xingyu could say anything, Chen Yubi screamed: "Sister, you are crazy, let's go now, before dark, we will definitely not be able to catch up with the hotel, where will we spend the night?" ”
"The road is full of residential areas, hotels and buildings, and you're afraid you won't have a place to spend the night?" Chen Yuzhu asked rhetorically.
Liu Xingyu was silent, turned to Fang Xuyuan and Chen Yubi, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Fang Xuyuan didn't say anything, Chen Yubi looked at Liu Xingyu, and then at Sister Nai's eager gaze, Chen Yuzhu, sighed helplessly and said, "Look at what you mean, Brother Liu, you can set off now and leave tomorrow." ”
is still a little different from Chen Yubi, Fang Xuyuan's attitude is more obvious, that is, listening to Liu Xingyu, he said to leave, and he said to stay. Liu Xingyu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now, are you ready?" ”
Things have been prepared a long time ago, four backpacks, all the same Archaeopteryx brand, the workmanship is excellent, the design is meticulous, even people like Chen Yubi can't find anything, each person carries one, in addition to all kinds of knives, is bagged food and drinking water. Liu Xingyu's Archaeopteryx heavy-duty outdoor backpack is the largest, with a capacity of 70L, which is the same height as the upper body.
Fortunately, after strengthening, evolution and upgrading, Liu Xingyu's current physique, although he looks about the same height and shortness, is no longer comparable to the small body before the apocalypse, not to mention carrying this huge backpack and carrying it with one hand, it is also like playing.
Set off now, the time is indeed not suitable, but Liu Xingyu's mentality is a little different from a few days ago, in the apocalypse, everything is changing rapidly, and if you want to have a safe foothold, you don't have enough strength, anywhere, even if it looks very solid and reliable, it is actually as difficult to say safe.
Before going out, Liu Xingyu looked back at the three girls' outfits again, and advised: "The smell outside is very bad, be light along the way, don't panic and talk less!" You ready? Walk! ”
The four of them went out, Liu Xingyu stayed at the end, locked the door, waved his big hand, and took the lead to step down the steps, regardless of the frowning brows of the three girls even though they were wearing big masks.
The path Liu Xingyu chose was the same as the route he took to the Shenguan Bay Hotel from here for the first time, first to the east, to the Cultural and Sports Avenue, then to the south, to the concert hall and then to the east, bypassing the Binhai Central Hospital, and then all the way south to the destination.
The world in the dense fog is a dead silence, Liu Xingyu is determined, he has walked through it alone, and now he is not affected at all, he should open the way first, but Fang Xuyuan and the three of them are a little different, while enduring the unpleasant smell, they have to endure the loneliness in their hearts.
Chen Yubi wanted to speed up her pace several times and walked to Liu Xingyu's side, but her sister Chen Yuzhu reached out and grabbed her backpack, so she had to stay with her sister Chen Yuzhu helplessly and depressed, and hurried away silently.
On the contrary, it is not as simple and direct as Fang Xuyuan on the side, just staring at Liu Xingyu's back and following him.
Crossing the concert hall and turning eastward, Liu Xingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked another block, just at the crossroads, Liu Xingyu stopped abruptly, and waved his hand backwards, signaling the three girls to stop.
In front of the intersection, there was the sound of footsteps, and it sounded like there were quite a few people. At the moment when Liu Xingyu signaled the three girls to stop, the footsteps on the opposite side also stopped, but there were first and last, which seemed a little chaotic.
