Yue Rong's home is in Han City, Qin Province in northwest China, more than 200 kilometers away from Chang'an, the provincial capital, and his parents and younger brother both work in the same large state-owned unit.

In the last days, Yue Rong once returned to his hometown with great difficulty to find the whereabouts of his parents and younger brother, but in the end he found nothing. The villages outside the factory are dense, the ground is full of zombies, and the factory is full of ruins, except for pieces of black and red blood stains and white bones, this place has been empty and no one.

And now, when Yue Rong stepped on this land again, watching the people coming and going in the bustling street market, the numb and cold heart that had been baptized by the storm of the end times was instantly shattered and melted, and an indescribable emotion made him cry and his throat was sour, and he couldn't tell whether it was pain or joy.

Once in the face of the end times, a grassroots like him could not save his parents and relatives at all, and the feeling of powerlessness was too painful. Now that he has the opportunity to do it once, Yue Rong hopes that he will not have such regrets again.

"Brother! Yes? You're back! So fast! Yue Gang heard a knock on the door, put down the dishes and chopsticks to open the door, but he didn't expect his brother Yue Rong to appear in front of him.

"Well, I'm back." Yue Rong looked at his younger brother's appearance, and his nose was a little sour.

"Rub, brother, you're so good, you came back so fast! Still not leaving? You go and sit down, and I'll serve you dinner. Yue Gang was very happy to see his brother Yue Rong come back. After all, since going to college, the two have rarely had the opportunity to meet, and this time it has been more than 5 years.

Yue Rong walked into the room and saw that his father was drinking, and there was a small and delicate girl sitting at the dinner table, who looked very well-behaved.

"Dad, I'm back" Yue Rong said to his father, the moment his father saw Yue Rong, his cloudy eyes flashed with joy, and he stood up and said, "Eat, eat"

The small girl also put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Yue Rong. Yue Rong nodded to her, put down the computer bag, and sat down at the dinner table. When his younger brother Yue just came back from dinner, the sound of his father's stir-fry was already ringing in the kitchen.

"Brother, aren't you leaving? The benefits in the factory are good, so you can come back. Spend more time with our dad and let him drink less. Yue Gang said, the girl next to him secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, he turned his head, "Don't pull, this is my brother, called brother." ”

"Brother" The girl called out obediently, and Yue Rong nodded in response. Yue Gang said again: "Brother, this is my girlfriend, the teacher of the middle school in the factory, Liu Min." Hehe, we'll live in your house, and when you come back, we'll live with our dad, and we'll make room for you when we buy the house and renovate it. ”

Yue Rong nodded, where did he care about what kind of house, "You live, I'll build a villa when I go back, and we'll all live there." You sit, I'll go see our dad. ”

Yue Rong got up and went to the kitchen, looking at his father's already somewhat rickety figure and the gorgeous hair that had grown on his head, wondering if his father could survive the outbreak of the plague. The plague seemed to be aimed at all the weaker human populations.

"Go sit down, I'll fry two dishes." Yue Rong's father saw Yue Rong coming over and said that he was not a person who was good at expressing himself, and he had been silently emitting his light and heat over the years, warming the hearts of Yue Rong and his younger brother Yue Gang.

Yue Rong's family is not complete, and his parents divorced when he and his younger brother were very young. My father never found another companion, and almost single-handedly brought up the two brothers. A few years ago, perhaps because of her age, Yue Rong's mother also lost the mind to make money outside, and had plans to come back, which made the family feel a little like they were going to be reunited.

"It's okay, what do you think I can do?" Yue Rong wanted to fight.

"No, you go and sit in the house, and you'll be fine right away." Yue Rong's father said, but Yue Rong did not leave, but accompanied him, greedily enjoying the feeling of being connected with his family in peace for a moment.

"Your brother said that he wanted to build a villa, didn't he work in Yanjing? You'll ask what's going on. Liu Min muttered to Yue Gang.

"Ah" Yue Gang picked up the food in his mouth and replied vaguely, not paying attention to it at all. The word villa was too far away for him.

Yue Rong brought the freshly fried vegetables into the house, but his father still didn't eat, but just drank two taels more on the dishes. It wasn't until after eating that Liu Min didn't see Yue Gang mention the villa, so he secretly pulled Yue Gang's clothes again, and Yue Gang looked back and saw the shape of her mouth, so he remembered.

"Brother, have you made a fortune? I just said that I wanted to buy a villa, but that thing is expensive. ”

"Well, it's not to buy, it's to build one ourselves, and your brother made a fortune." Yue Rong's answer made Yue Gang and Liu Min both happy.

"What kind of villa, keep the money and find a girlfriend to get married, don't spend it every day." Yue Rong's father expressed his dissatisfaction.

After eating, Yue Rong cleaned up the table with chopsticks and chopsticks, chatted with his family for a while, and waited for them to go to work before going out to prepare. When he came back this time, he actually didn't have much money on him, and the salary he earned from working in Yanjing, in addition to ensuring his own food and housing, almost all of the rest was spent on his first girlfriend Ren Fang, and he had almost no savings.

Although Yue Rong applied for more than a dozen credit cards from various banks last night, the overdraft limit of those credit cards was not enough for him to build a shelter. He came back in a hurry this time, just for a large sum of money in his memory, 6 million in cash!

It was during this time that the joint-stock system reform in the factory, the director of a subordinate unit was found to be corrupt, and 6 million yuan in cash was found in his garage, which caused an uproar in the factory for a while, and even Yue Rong, who was far away in Yanjing, heard about it.

It is precisely because of this money that Yue Rong has the confidence to take his family and friends to survive the initial chaos. You must know that the first month of the plague outbreak was almost the most cruel period in the last days, almost in one month, there was not one person who survived. At the beginning, Yue Rong was lucky not to meet a large number of zombies during the trip on a business trip, so he survived that time and survived secretly.

Yue Rong first went to the cadre's family courtyard and found the strongest green garage door in the rows of garages. He didn't dare to come close to observe, but just looked at it from a distance, looked around, and let him have a rough idea of how to steal all the money in it unconsciously.

Coming out of the cadre's family home, Yue Rong took a taxi to the city's mechanical and electrical wholesale market, ready to choose a few things to take advantage of. As for the kind of high-tech gadgets like those in the movie, Yue Rong didn't expect it at all, as long as it was cheap and easy to use, it wouldn't make any noise.

The master key, Yue Rong didn't find it; Yue Rong does not have the ability to open the lock with iron wire; After choosing and choosing, Yue Rong finally chose a stupid way and bought a small jar of acetylene, a small jar of oxygen and a welding torch. Using acetylene to cut steel plates, this Yue Rong has done it, and he can't say that he is proficient, but at least he can use it.

Because of the storage space for medical equipment, Yue Rong didn't have to carry these things back, which was easy and not noticeable, which was very convenient.

At 3:40 a.m., Yue Rong climbed over the wall into the cadre's family courtyard and sneaked all the way to the garage by bypassing the camera. The family courtyard was silent, except for the leaves of the green vegetation that were stirred by the breeze and made a slight rustling sound.

The first time he was a thief, Yue Rong was still a little nervous, he lightly took out the prepared tools from the storage space, adjusted the switch, took out the lighter "Peng" and lit the torch with a light sound. Yue Rong looked around again, and then changed the color of the flame to blue and aimed at the door lock, he estimated that if he cut the door lock, he should be able to open the garage door.

The welding torch makes a "whoosh" sound, which is usually nothing, but in such a quiet night, it seems a little loud. After cutting the door lock, he didn't even use it for 3 minutes, but Yue Rong was sweating, but fortunately, he took off the door lock with pliers, and with a light lift of the handle, the garage door was raised.

Taking all the tools back into the storage space, Yue Rong gently lifted the garage door, dodged in, put the door down again, and took out the flashlight. I saw an old Volkswagen in the garage that was half new, and the old cabinet was leaning against the wall at the back of the car, and there were some things like car coolant and glass water on it. Other than that, there was nothing else in the garage.

Yue Rong ran to the old cabinet, and when he opened the cabinet door, he saw that there was a huge safe inside, good guy. This thing, Yue Rong can cut it with acetylene, but he doesn't want to waste time here, he roughly gestured and felt that it could be put into the storage space, so he used his mental power to mark the safe.

It's just that this safe is too big and heavy, and when Yue Rong put it in the storage space, he only felt that his brain was about to boil, and he was so painful that he was dizzy and just wanted to vomit. Yue Rong leaned against the wall, and after a long pause, his head still hurt as if he had just been hit a few slaps.

"What's wrong with me? How can it be so uncomfortable? Yue Rong asked about the medical equipment.

"Your constitution is too poor to support you in storing items of this volume and weight."

"Shrimp? What is the relationship between headache and constitution? "Yue Rong didn't understand.

"Mental power is a kind of physique." As soon as it explained like this, Yue Rong had nothing to say, in the past, he always thought that the physical aspects of the physique, and the ethereal mental power should be counted as a separate one, but he didn't expect it to be all grouped together here.

Yue Rong knew the truth that there were many dreams in the night, and he was not ready to rub it here, so he raised his feet and walked two steps, suddenly thought of the car next to him, and said in his heart, "Maybe there is still money in this, so it is better to take a look." So I pulled down the door, and it was unlocked.

He took a flashlight and took a picture of it, and found a wallet in the co-pilot's storage box, which really contained a wad of cash, but the amount of cash was not much, and it was estimated that it was more than 10,000 yuan.

I closed the car door, went to the back of the car and opened the suitcase, only to see that there was a cardboard box in it, and the box was very tight. Yue Rong tore open a piece of the cardboard box, and a piece of red suddenly leaked out, and Grandpa Mao was staring at him. Yue Rong was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't open the safe just now, and he didn't know if there was any money in it, and how much money it was. And the carton in front of him, to say the least, can hold more than 1 million, this is a real guy who sees is believing.

The carton is not small, and the weight is really not light when you hold it. Yue Rong saw that there were still some gaps in the corners of the storage space, so he took the bundles of banknotes in the cardboard box, quietly walked out of the garage, and returned to the wall from the same way.
