Chapter Twenty-Four: Leaving Lae
Su Li didn't expect the war to spread so quickly, and Area C was not spared. Frightened by the sudden explosion, the people were terrified and struggled to squeeze forward, all trying to get into Area A as soon as possible, so there was chaos ahead.
Glancing at the crowded crowd, Su Li turned the steering wheel and drove towards the west exit. The exit used to be Area G, which was the only place near Area A that was not hit by the war.
As waves of roaring sounds, fires spread from the southwest, and thick smoke billowed out. The surrounding houses collapsed one after another, and broken steel and concrete shards smashed into the ground.
If you smash it at this rate, the road to the exit will definitely be blocked. Thinking of this, Su Li stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and began to accelerate.
Along the way, he saw that many vehicles were smashed and stopped, and in addition to more and more people being smashed, he gritted his teeth and decided to continue driving.
However, when there were still 200 meters to the exit, a huge concrete block fell from a high altitude, and seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the car, Su Li hurriedly stepped on the brakes.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, followed by the screeching sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground.
The car stopped, and the clod of dirt landed directly in front of the car 30 centimeters away, and he exhaled lightly, fortunately not being hit.
As more and more concrete fragments fall, the road becomes narrower and narrower as they occupy it. Eventually, he abandoned the car and walked over on foot.
Bypassing the huge concrete block, Su Li looked out of the exit, "It's okay, it's not blocked yet." ”
At this time, the sound of intermittent sobbing came, and Su Li followed the sound to look at the right side of the clod, and directly a little girl was squatting there, with a broken cut in her right knee, thinking that she was accidentally injured by someone who fell and fell.
He held the girl in his arms, and when he saw that she was crying non-stop, he kept shouting to find "Aji", Su Li hurriedly agreed: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll take you to Aji right away." "Aggie is my father's title in Lae.
Lae was a bit hot and humid at noon, and I don't know if it was dark clouds or the smoke of war that buried the sun in the sky. In the Laiqu Hotel in Area A, Xiao Zhang was woken up by hunger. He touched the sweat on his forehead, got up and went out to the snack bar downstairs.
After asking for two pieces of bread, he squatted at the door and nibbled on them, not forgetting to greet the boss every day.
At this time, a young man hurriedly ran into the store and said to the owner of the dough rolling: "Aji, hurry up and pack your things and go with me, the enemy attack is too fierce, we can't hold it, the captain decided to evacuate here first." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Then where do you want to retreat?"
"The city next door. ”
After eating the bread indiscriminately, Xiao Zhang wiped his mouth vigorously and ran towards his residence.
Passing by the girl's room, he stopped and knocked on the girl's door: "It's not safe here, you hurry up and get ready, leave here with me, and I'll come to you in an hour." ”
In the room, after Xu Man heard this, he hurriedly dialed the male god's phone, but he couldn't get through after several phone calls in a row. Apparently, communication here has been cut off. Putting down the phone, the girl paced back and forth in the room.
An hour later, she said to Xiao Zhang at the door: "You go first, in a while, Su Li will be back, I have to wait for him, I can't leave yet." ”
"I don't know when he will come back, be obedient, get out of here first, and save his life. ”
"He's already in Zone C when I talk to him in the morning, so he'll be there soon, I'll wait. Xu Man turned around and went back to his room, sat down on the bed, and planned to wait until he came.
Zone C is an hour away, so if you leave in the morning, you should be there now. As of now, the people have not arrived, and there must have been other accidents delayed on the way. Xiao Zhang didn't tell the girl what he was thinking, for fear of only adding to her worries.
After Xiao Zhang waited with her for half an hour, he couldn't help but persuade her again, but the girl still insisted on not going with him, and he had no choice but to knock people out.
Then, he looked around, found paper and pen, and wrote on the paper: "Xu Man has gone to Ruocheng with me, and I know." - Xiao Zhang. ”
Fold the written letter in half and place it on the table. He picked up the girl and walked downstairs.
Putting the girl in the back seat, the owner of the cake opposite said, "Excuse me, wait for me a little longer, I'll go get the luggage." ”
The boss nodded: "Hurry up, you won't be able to catch up if you delay any longer." ”
After a while, he dragged himself and Xu Man's suitcases into the car.
In the car, the owner of the noodle shop turned back to Xiao Zhang, who was wearing his seat belt, and said, "Remember, when someone asks about you, they say that it is my youngest son and daughter." ”
"Why?"
The boss lit a cigarette and smoked it, and said without squinting: "In this evacuation, the army stipulates that only family members can be carried, not family members, and the army will drive them away." ”
Xiao Zhang was silent, and after a moment, he solemnly thanked him.
Along the way, their cars followed closely behind the team, and Xiao Zhang looked at the few military vehicles in front of him and asked, "Why are there so few people?"
"The number of people is too dazzling, so the soldiers are divided into three ways. The group in front of us was the largest in number, and I heard that it was a secret transfer of one person. ”
Xiao Zhang nodded after hearing this: "Then our team still goes to Ruocheng?"
"Yes, but we're going to take a detour across the desert. ”
The group passed through the streets leading to the desert, the roads were potholed due to disrepair, and the people sitting in the cars were bumping up and down.
After a while, Xu Man was woken up. Rubbing her aching neck, she looked at Xiao Zhang, who was fiddling with the camera: "Where are we?
Xiao Zhang's eyes flashed, and he stopped what he was doing: "We are going to Ruocheng now, as for Su Li...... I'm sorry I couldn't wait for him. Seeing her disappointed face, she said again: "But don't worry, I have already left him a message." Maybe you've seen the note I left for him by now!"
The girl snorted, hugged her knees and stopped talking. Xiao Zhang saw that she was listless, and opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden "whoop" cry.
I saw a group of people wearing green horse jackets and red strips of cloth on their heads surrounding them. The opposing side was three times as numerous as them, and the army was unable to resist and surrendered one after another.
Looking at this group of raiders who were excited and raised their hands to grab the "whooping" raiders, the boss looked frightened, his originally stiff back softened, and he kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, it's all over now." ”
Xu Man wanted to open his mouth to ask what the situation was, but he was startled by the sudden sound of gunshots.
It turned out that someone saw that the situation was wrong and wanted to sneak away while people were not paying attention, but they were discovered and shot on the spot.
Seeing this, the boss lit another cigarette and smoked it, but this time his hand holding the cigarette was trembling: "In the hands of their group of ****, no one will come back alive." Alas, brother all the way, we will be with you soon. ”
