Chapter II: Security Zones
Walking on the road, Qin Hao took the initiative to talk to him in order to ease the atmosphere: "That, I don't know your name yet." ”
"Oh, my name is Hu Chuchu. Erhu's Hu, Chu Chu is moving. The nurse introduced herself.
The two of them chatted while walking, and unconsciously came to the door of the unit building where Qin Hao lived. Qin Hao didn't go to the elevator room but chose to take the stairs up, this is also for the sake of safety, now that it is so messy, once the elevator is out of power or broken, no one will save them out.
Hu Chuchu returned the coat that Qin Hao had borrowed her to protect her from the poncho, and still followed him with great scruples and asked, "That Mr. Qin, can you ask what you do?" ”
"Oh, I'm in the interior design section. Also, just call me a mouse, people of the same age, don't be restrained. It's here. Saying that, Qin Hao and Hu Chuchu came to the sixth floor of the apartment, where Qin Hao lived.
"By the way, the temperature is still very low, aren't you cold wearing such a little bit?" Qin Hao had already noticed that Hu Chuchu was only wearing a little clothes, and then put a thin layer of nurse uniform on the outside.
When she saw that Qin Hao didn't look at herself with that kind of obscene look, but looked at her directly with worried eyes, she was much relieved: "I can't help it." You weren't unaware of the situation, the scene in the hospital was so chaotic that I didn't have time to change my clothes. ”
After saying that, I couldn't help but shudder. Looking at Hu Chuchu's appearance of being shivering from the cold wind, he had no choice but to take out his ex-girlfriend's padded jacket. "I'll help you turn on the bath bomb, you take a hot bath to warm up."
Hu Chuchu took the padded jacket he handed over, and saw that it was a women's model, or the old model from two or three years ago, so he thought that he had a girlfriend or wife: "This should be your other half, right?" I'm embarrassed to wear it. ”
"It's not... Ex-girlfriend's..."Qin Hao wanted to speak and stopped.
"Your ex-girlfriend?" Hu Chuchu thinks it's strange, if ordinary people are themselves, they should also destroy their belongings if they break up with their other half, right?
Qin Hao pondered for a while and said, "I started living with her when I was in my junior year, and she went to country M a year after graduation. At first, I still talked to her on the phone every day, but gradually I couldn't reach her, and I was worried about whether something had happened to her and asked her parents. When I asked, I found out that she didn't have an accident in country M, but was with a rich second generation. Her parents were against us being together, and the rich second generation was also very pleasing to her parents, so the two families got engaged, and her parents hoped that I would never show up again. I don't know if I can't let go of her or what, I didn't throw away the thing she put me, so keep it as a thought. As he spoke, Qin Hao's face darkened, completely opposite to the previous sunny boy.
"I'm sorry. I... I don't know..."After listening to the story, Hu Chuchu realized that it was because he had too many mouths that he poked others in the sore spots.
Qin Hao glanced at Hu Chuchu: "I'm sorry what, I shared all my secrets with you, what else are you embarrassed to tell me, this is that you are not interesting enough." If you really feel guilty, give me a secret. ”
"Well, anyway, stop thinking about those things, it's all gone. I don't think about my ex-boyfriend, who is a good man who is bound by the past. Besides, she doesn't really like you, otherwise she would abandon you for some financial and family reasons? It's not like you can't start over again, maybe the next fruit will be more delicious than the one you picked now? The secret will be returned to you next time, then I will go to the shower first. Hu Chuchu politely asked the owner of the house.
Qin Hao picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table and replied, "Hmm." ”
"Oh, yes." Hu Chuchu had already entered the bathroom, but he came out again: "What about your parents?" They're not with you? ”
Qin Hao had a black line: "... They are dead, and this house is what they left me. ”
"Okay, I'll shut up." Hu Chuchu hurriedly hid in the bathroom. I asked what I shouldn't have asked again!
The torrential rain had gone away, and the sky had become extremely overcast, and the sky had taken on an eerie purple color due to the weather. The terrifying purple color spread endlessly, until it swallowed the entire Singapore Airlines City...
Qin Hao looked at the sky outside, and thousands of thoughts hit him with the cold current. Dad, Mom, Xinyi, Ah Wei.... Too many people have left me and started over? The world has collapsed in half, how can I start again, maybe tomorrow I will wake up with corpses all over the street. Ma Wei, Wang Handong, Ye Ming... And Hu Chuchu, who I have known for less than an hour, everyone may lose this world one by one, why do I feel helpless and lonely from time to time? Well, maybe I'm too scared of losing, or maybe I've never really had anything.
"Okay, let's move on to the unnamed virus. The virus is still spreading, and up to now, symptoms have appeared in various parts of the country. Because of the rapid intervention of the government, the epidemic in District 9 was brought under control. My location is Jinzhou City in the 9th District. Now that the 9th district has officially become a safe zone, the government will arrange for the people in all areas to evacuate here in an orderly manner as much as possible, and everyone can see that shelter, food, medical care, and clothing are provided here..."
The safe zone may be a way out, Qin Hao saw the news and remembered the advice of his aunt who had already left for the safe zone: "Hao Hao, your uncle and your brother and I will go to the safe zone first." I heard that it is very safe there, and when something happens to the city of SIA, don't forget to come. ”
In the current situation, it seems that going to the safe zone is the best choice, Qin Hao just thought about it and his aunt called over: "Qin Hao! Something happened to your uncle and your brother! ”
Qin Hao heard his aunt's crying: "Don't worry, auntie, where are you now?" Something is wrong, you tell slowly. ”
“... I'm in a refuge camp in the safe zone now, didn't your uncle have a high cold and fever when he went? We went to the city of Fanshui, on the border of the 9th district, where the officers and soldiers checked and your uncle was detained because of a high fever. They said they were going to quarantine for observation, and your brother was angry and got into a physical altercation with the soldiers,...... He... He was shot and killed, woo...... "Aunt Qin Hao couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed all of a sudden."
It's so heavy, Qin Hao didn't know what to say to appease his aunt all of a sudden. If the safe zone is such a place, then what's the point? The weak have always been a burden, and not many people will volunteer to help, not even the self-proclaimed righteous government. Who called this a society of the jungle, the first people to die in this material society are the civilians at the bottom. Now, in Qin Hao's opinion, the safe zone is nothing more than a wolf's den or a tiger's den, and everything is extremely realistic.
After being silent for a long time, Aunt Qin Hao choked up several times and finished speaking: "I really don't know... Change... How to do .... Hold on, the camps here are full of people, and everyone is assigned to... There was only a little bit of food, and if you wanted to eat a little more, you had to exchange something of value with those soldiers. Now I... Son...... Die... Die... Now, I... Husbands are also ....... I really feel like everything is going to ...... Finished. Hao Hao ...... When are you coming... Woooooo
The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are not ancient.
Qin Hao was completely stunned, the TV was still scrolling the news about the shelter, the utopia of flowery words was just a dream, a dream with a bright appearance, and it was impossible for such a paradise to exist in reality. It was nothing more than a slaughterhouse for death row prisoners, a shoddy slaughterhouse of steel and concrete, where everyone was fighting for food without knowing that they were about to be slaughtered.
The aunt's shout on the other end of the phone pulled Qin Hao back to reality, and he thought twice and decided that it was better for him not to go to the safety zone first, or to wait and see the situation first, is such a safety zone really safe?
A place without hope cannot shelter people. If it's so unfree and so unhuman rights inside, it's really better to fight hard outside and try your luck.
"Auntie, I'm not going to come. I think it's better not to go there, and it's better to resist than to survive, because if everyone runs away from reality, the darkness will only get more arrogant. Auntie, my parents don't have many brothers and sisters, except for my father and mother since I was a child, you and my uncle and cousin are the best for me, forgive me for this decision. No matter what happens to me, you must not give up hope, live well, and tell me that you will see you again. Hmm..."
Unconsciously, Qin Hao also choked up, because he didn't know if he would see him again after saying goodbye this time. Aunt Qin Hao was a little cold when she heard these words, she wanted to ask Qin Hao to accompany her, but there was no way: "Hao Hao, you should be careful outside." I believe this thing won't last long, and we'll see you when the virus is overcome, and if the situation is serious, you'll come to me. Hmm."
The words were not finished, but Aunt Qin Hao couldn't hold on. She knew that there was a lot of luck outside, and she complained in her heart that Qin Hao was ignorant and hung up the phone, and the other end of the phone became a busy voice and her aunt was helpless before she dispersed. Qin Hao knew that he was a little sorry for his aunt's concern, but he didn't want to turn himself into a lamb to the slaughter.
He tore a sticky note from the coffee table that was firmly glued to it, which read:
The Coming of wisdom with Time
Though leave are many,the root is one.
Through all the lying days of my youth.
I Swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun.
Now I may wither into the truth.
This is Yeats's poem, Qin Hao looked at the poem and looked out the window, the purple color slowly mutated into darkness. But no matter how dark it is, it can't hide the dazzling truth behind it. There's still a glimmer of light in the city! Humanity may not yet have reached the time when it must die!
Qin Hao thought about it, and slowly crumpled the post-it notes into paper balls and threw them into the trash. Let's go to the garage to take a look at it first, the car has never been driven, and I don't know if I can drive it.
I don't know if there's any of those things out there now, but I shouldn't have any. Qin Hao set a flag for himself very happily.
As soon as he went out, he saw a twisted figure at the top of the staircase, its elbows twisted a full three hundred and sixty degrees. The strange figure flew over when he saw Qin Hao, Qin Hao immediately realized that something was wrong, he ran to the wall and took down the fire extinguisher.
At this moment, Qin Hao was thrown away, and the fire extinguisher also rolled aside. The zombie pounced on him, and the position was of course indescribable.
Damn.
