"Waiting for your parents?" Liu Tao wondered.

"Yes, when I came home just now and saw that my parents were not at home, I left a note for them, saying that they should come to the school to look for me, and if I leave now, I'm afraid they won't be able to find me."

"How long are you going to wait?" Glasses continued to ask beside him.

"At least wait until it gets dark."

"Then we'll wait with you." Fat man: "I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”

As soon as the fat man said this, he was pulled aside by her fatter mother. Liu Chang didn't have to think about it to know what her mother would say to him after he was pulled to the side.

It was a woman full of market atmosphere, and she usually didn't have any opinions—which can be seen from the huge contrast in her attitude before and after going to the convenience store, but it was undeniable that her maternal love for the fat man was definitely sincere enough, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed here as soon as the red mist fell.

She didn't want to be left behind with the fat man, so she pulled him aside and said something don't wait.

So, after Liu Chang glanced at them, don't overdo it.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you go first, I'm waiting for my parents here, if I wait for them, I'll go back to you." Liu Chang said casually, but everyone knows that in this foggy world without communication, the separation of the two groups of people means that they may never see each other again.

Listening to Liu Chang's words, the fat man and the glasses showed an awkward look on their faces, and then they were pulled aside by their respective parents. Then, the two adults smiled at Liu Chang: "Then we'll go first." ”

Then, they hurriedly pulled their children out of here.

After two or three steps, the mist had obscured part of their figures, blurring their vision, leaving only one person left here.

"I'll stay with you." Liu Tao found a desk next to Liu Chang and sat down, "Anyway, I won't see my parents, so I'll accompany you here, and I don't know anyone when I go out." ”

"Huh?" Liu Chang listened to his words and was a little surprised.

You must know that usually in the bedroom, Liu Tao is the most unsociable one. Because he spends more than 80% of his spare time reading and studying every day, he rarely communicates with other people, and because he likes to show off his knowledge, the other three people don't like him too much. Therefore, it was he who chose to stay with him this time, which made Liu Chang very unexpected.

"Is Liu Tao leaving?" In the depths of the fog, the voice of a fat man was heard.

"Let's go, I'll stay with him, and if I can't wait for his parents before the fall, we'll leave together." Liu Tao waved his hand at a few vague figures two or three steps away.

The man over there replied and left.

In just one step, the vague figure just now disappeared completely.

"Actually, you don't have to stay with me, you can't do it."

"You're saying we don't have that deep friendship, do you?"

"Even if you have a deep friendship, you can't do such a thing."

"I just don't want to be with those two families." As Liu Tao spoke, he stretched out his hand to Liu Chang and asked, "Is there any smoke?" ”

"No, I won't smoke, and you don't know." Liu Chang spread his hands, "Moreover, don't you know how to smoke?" ”

"It's okay to be horizontal and vertical, but now the atmosphere is so depressing, I want to smoke one. I used to be reluctant to pay for cigarettes when I didn't smoke, but now in the last days, who cares about that cigarette money. ”

"That's right." Liu Chang smiled, took out a few pieces of candy from his backpack and handed them to Liu Tao, "I don't have a cigarette, let's make do with sugar." ”

"Hahaha, candy is the most sought-after high-calorie food in the last day, aren't you afraid of wasting it?" Peeling off the candy wrapper, Liu Tao stuffed the sugar into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Do you know why I am not limited to being with those two families?" ”

"Why?" Liu Chang was also curious.

"Because I feel like I can't fit in, it's two families, and I'm an orphan......"

"Orphans?" Hearing this, Liu Chang's heart trembled, and then subconsciously reached into his pocket and touched his father's half-finger. At this time, the skin on his fingers had lost his surname, and when he pinched it gently, it was a small pit, and he could no longer return to its original appearance.

"Well, orphans." Liu Tao looked at the blood-red sky outside and didn't speak again.

The two waited like this for a while, until they were anxious and bored, Liu Chang went out for a while, checked the situation outside, and came back to continue waiting.

Time passed fast and slow, and after tossing two or three times, the sky gradually darkened, and Liu Chang's parents still did not arrive as scheduled.

"Can't wait any longer, the world out there is changing too fast." Liu Tao and Liu Chang stood at the gate of the school, looking at the wild grass outside.

"This grass grows half a person tall, and if you wait any longer, you will probably not be able to see the road at all tomorrow." Liu Tao frowned, "The outside world is becoming more and more dangerous now, which reminds me of the dangerous Amazon jungle." You know, in the law of the jungle, night is always ten times more dangerous than daytime. ”

"Well, no wait." Liu Chang nodded with difficulty. Although he was obsessed with seeing his parents, reason told him that there was no point in waiting any longer.

At this time, most of the campus crowd had dispersed, and those people didn't know where to find their own foothold, and there were almost no people who wanted to spend the night at the school.

"Let's go, brother." Liu Tao saw Liu Chang's ugly expression, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Let's go." The latter nodded, stepping into the outside world first.

Stepping into the original highway outside, the two of them were full of strange feelings, and in just half a day, the humanistic atmosphere of the whole city had been reduced to the lowest point.

Outside, there was really a lot of grass outside, not only wild grass, but all kinds of plants, or from the soil or from the cracks in the masonry, and growing vigorously. Those originally hard cement pavements were at an absolute disadvantage for the first time in the contest with life. The entire pavement was completely shattered by plants, and a variety of plants grew out of it.

And the streets are quieter.

When Liu Chang went home for the first time, the crowd that was watching the excitement or panic was gone, there were no fools, and everyone seemed to have made their own plans after the initial panic period.

Some are nested in their own homes, some are seeking help from the outside world, and there are few idle people on the streets.

The goal of Liu Chang and the others is still to find a convenience store.

In fact, Kaifeng, like all cities, has a lot of convenience stores and small supermarkets on both sides of the street. Almost every few hundred meters is one, but since the end has only come a few hours, most of the people are still alive, and the owners of those convenience stores, because of their unique advantages, generally lock the doors and nest into that comfortable nest themselves.

Therefore, Liu Chang and his entourage searched for several convenience stores in a row, but they did not succeed in entering. When I passed by the entrance of a large supermarket, I heard the sound of fighting inside.

"Someone is fighting inside." The red fog has risen for several hours, the penetration of the fog is very strong, and now the world has no fingers in and out of the house, two people standing at the door of the supermarket, looking at the world behind the dense fog, listening to the sound of "clanging" inside, each has a different idea.

"There's a lot of stuff in this supermarket." Liu Tao knows that this supermarket chain has a large space and a complete range of things, which can supply thousands of people to eat and drink for a long time.

"But we can't afford it! There are at least hundreds of people fighting inside! Liu Chang frowned.

"Well, it seems so." Liu Tao also frowned, "Then let's go, we can't fight them, and it's dangerous to even go inside to fish in troubled waters." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Blending themselves into the fog again, the two walked all the way, and after eating the "closed door" of the convenience store a few times, they finally found a store with an unlocked door. The two of them were overjoyed, and at the moment when they were just about to enter the convenience store, a person came out of it first.

"Who?" Seeing that someone wanted to break in, someone picked up an iron rod and subconsciously shouted.
