[050] Unable to help
"He was waiting for me to come, and I didn't disappoint him."
Seeing the people around him who were sleeping soundly, Lu Yan could think of how Yang Guang and these people hoped to sleep well after a day's hard work, but Yang Guang did not sleep but was waiting for him, which shows how strong Yang Guang has a strong longing for Lu Yan's very slim arrival.
I don't know whether it was excitement or sadness, Lu Yan's eyes were a little moist, and he pursed his lips tightly, Lu Yan resisted the urge to shed tears and beckoned to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang lowered his head and wiped his tears, turned his head and looked around again, seeing that the people around him were asleep, he cautiously walked over from the heads and bodies of many people step by step, and walked to the door.
Lu Yan directly led Yang Guang to the stairs of the fire escape, and then introduced himself quietly and excitedly: "Hello Yang Guang, we are alumni of Yangzhou Rongshan Middle School, I am one grade lower than you, my name is Lu Yan. β
"Uh-huh. Yang Guang was just nodding desperately, and in the dark stairway, he could only see strings of crystal tears rolling down Yang Guang's face.
Lu Yan can understand Yang Guang's excitement, although they don't know each other at all, but in the isolated Shijie of Cairo City, Yang Guang, as a stranger, can imagine how excited he is to see his hometown, not to mention that life here is so hard, so Yang Guang's nostalgia for his hometown will be stronger.
Seeing Yang Guang so excited, Lu Yan was very sad in his heart, but they were not familiar with each other, Yang Guang just shed tears and did not speak, Lu Yan had to speak again and asked the doubts in his heart: "Yang Guang, didn't you go to Egypt to participate in the special class......?
Hearing Lu Yan's question, Yang Guang stopped crying, gritted his teeth, shook his head silently, and said in a hoarse voice: "Liar, that's a scam, more than 500 students from all over our Shijie have been thrown into working here since the first day they came to Egypt, and for more than a year, only a dozen people have survived now." β
Lu Yan had already guessed this situation, but hearing this result with his own ears still made Lu Yan frown with hatred, at this moment, Lu Yan didn't know what he should comfort Yang Guang? Living in such a bad environment, no matter what kind of language could not calm their hearts, after thinking for a long time, Lu Yan asked very awkwardly:
"You, haven't you thought about running away?"
Lu Yan didn't dare to ask him, 'Do you want to escape with me?', because now, Lu Yan himself has no confidence that he can save Yang Guang. Before coming, Lu Yan still thought about saving Yang Guang as much as possible to escape if possible, but judging from the thrilling process of almost losing his life when he came in just now, if he really brought one person, Lu Yan estimated that there was a 90% chance that both of them died under the laser gun in Cairo City, so Lu Yan's question was quite weak.
Yang Guang didn't seem to notice Lu Yan's difficult expression, he shook his head directly, then turned sideways, pointed to the back of his neck, and said:
"When we came in, everyone had a tiny remote-controlled bomb planted around their necks, and if we ran a kilometer away from Cairo, we would be killed by the bomb. I saw with my own eyes that one of our companions, who had come to Egypt, tried to escape, and while he was working, he suddenly jumped into the Mediterranean, but before he had swam far, the thing exploded, and his neck was blown off on the spot. β
Lu Yan really saw a protrusion the size of a cold capsule on the back of Yang Guang's neck, seeing this thing, Lu Yan had mixed feelings in his heart, although he was sad for Yang Guang's fate, but it also relieved Lu Yan of some psychological pressure, at least this reduced his guilt of not being able to rescue his alumni.
Then Lu Yan chatted with Yang Guang about some other topics, asked some about the situation in Cairo, Yang Guang introduced that they are only working at three points and one line, in addition to working in the port, they will also go to the alien spacecraft cargo site to carry goods, in addition, they do not have the right to move around casually, he has been to Cairo for more than a year, and he has only been to the port, the loading point and the three places where he sleeps every day, according to Yang Guang, the reason why he can live until now is because he is honest.
Speaking of the defense liliang in Cairo City, according to Yang Guang, there are about ten Santanya warriors here, there are many mutant spider beasts, about a hundred, and the number of Okleys is said to be many in the past, but now there is only one.
Therefore, the current Cairo City can be said to be just a freight transit station for the Oklay people to transport supplies, and it no longer has any meaning of headquarters.
Lu Yan also simply told Yang Guang about some of the situation outside, Lu Yan only said some news about the death of Macabi and Wambaao in China, I believe that the news of the death of the Ocle people will definitely inspire Yang Guang to wait patiently here, but Lu Yan did not introduce the situation of his anti-Austrian alliance, although Lu Yan thought in his heart that he must save Yang Guang and these people, but he didn't want Yang Guang to report too much hope to wait here at this moment, people often hope that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, it is better to let Yang Guangxian live like this for a while, and when the anti-Austrian alliance really has the strength to overthrow the rule of the Oclerites, it is not too late to rescue Yang Guang and these peopleγ
As for the fact that he was able to enter Cairo City, Lu Yan told Yang Guang that he was a mutant and had the strength to enter the city, Yang Guang was not surprised by this at all, but he was envious, being able to enter and exit Cairo City, this is probably the ability that all people in Cairo City want to have.
Estimating that the time for him to come in was almost up, Lu Yan had to leave, so he said to Yang Guang: "I will come to visit you as much as possible when I have time." β
"Xiexie, it's too dangerous here, you better not come often, I'm glad to see you. Yang Guang noticed that the clothes behind Lu Yan had been blown into strips of rags, which showed that it was not easy for Lu Yan to come in once.
"Do you need me to bring a message to your family?" asked Lu Yan with concern.
"No!"
Yang Guang suddenly said loudly, his voice was so loud at the moment that it had already reached the corridor, and after he finished speaking, he felt that he was too nervous, he hurriedly looked out of the corridor, and when he was sure that no one heard his voice, he slowed down his voice, choked up and said to Lu Yan: "Don't let my family know about my current situation, don't, he ...... , they will worry about me, they will be sad. β
Lu Yan was speechless, pursed his lips, Lu Yan didn't say anything more, after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered another thing.
"Oh! I almost forgot, I brought you this. β
Saying that, Lu Yan took out two cooked steaks from the pockets of his clothes and handed them to Yang Guang, Lu Yan knew from the expressions of the two Cairo women when they accepted the beef jerky this morning that Yang Guang and their life here must be very hard, so they specially brought two steaks to Yang Guang.
"This ...... , too, too xiexie. β
The light in Yang Guang's eyes changed instantly, becoming shining, and the eyes that were still entangled in not seeing his family just now swept away, and he immediately took a steak unceremoniously and ate it in a big gulp, looking like he hadn't eaten for more than ten days, and even he didn't care at all about behaving too much in front of Lu Yan, and after turning his body slightly, he gobbled it up.
Lu Yan understands that a person who is struggling on the verge of life and death, survival is the first need, and those family ties that are far away are not as real as a steak.
"Ahem, ahem!" Yang Guang ate too quickly, and he choked on the steak for a while.
Lu Yan hurriedly patted Yang Guang on the back.
But Yang Guang, whose face was already flushed, reached out to grab the second steak in Lu Yan's hand before he could swallow the first steak into his stomach.
"Don't worry, either you can keep it for tomorrow and eat it!" Lu Yan was afraid that Yang Guang would hurt his body if he ate like this, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
Having already bitten into the second steak, Yang Guang shook his head vigorously, and said in a blurred mouth: "No, there is no place to put it." β
Only then did Lu Yan remember that there were hundreds of people crammed into a room here, and everyone slept in a palm-sized place every day, and the only thing that belonged to them was probably the bedding and the clothes on their bodies, and who could still eat a piece of steak for the second meal? I'm afraid that all these people think about every day is how to survive this moment, and there will be no other extravagant hopes.
Soon Yang Guang ate up the two steaks, and after eating, Yang Guang seemed to remember the person who brought him steak next to him, he lowered his head slightly embarrassed, and said with some embarrassment: "Xiexie, I'...... , I haven't had a full meal for a long time. β
patted Yang Guang on the shoulder, Lu Yan nodded, this is the helpless reality, he just said to Yang Guang: "Brother, you must work hard to live." β
"Hmm. β
Yang Guang seemed to agree with this, he nodded heavily, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Lu Yan: "Oh! By the way, you should leave as soon as possible, we may be called to get up and work at any time, and the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be." β
"Okay. β
Nodding, Lu Yan also felt that he should go, and he also wanted to go to other places in Cairo to see, this time he came to Cairo to understand the situation in Cairo, although he had learned some information from Yang Guang, but Lu Yan still had to see it with his own eyes, so Lu Yan patted Yang Guang on the shoulder and said goodbye to him: "Take care!"
Yang Guang nodded heavily, and watched Lu Yan go downstairs with grateful eyes.
This difference, I don't know when it will be zaijian.
Stepping lightly on the stairs, Lu Yan went downstairs as carefully as when he came up, but before Lu Yan could walk from the 12th floor to the 10th floor, suddenly a piercing scream came from downstairs.
"Hiss~~"
This strange cry is like scratching glass, which makes people panic.
It could be distinguished that this was the cry of the mutant spider beast, and Lu Yan suddenly had a premonition that he was not happy, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble.
"Wow, Wow......"
Hurriedly stepping in, Yang Guang ran down from the upstairs with three steps and two steps, and he said in shock: "Oh no, we're going to start work, this is telling us to get up and work." β
"What? You're going out to work now?"
Lu Yan asked in surprise, the time was only three o'clock in the morning, he didn't expect the aliens to be so industrious.
"Yes, there should be another alien spaceship to deliver goods, and the time we get up is calculated according to the time of Orclair, when they come, when we have to carry the goods. But you ...... What are you going to do? Where can you hide?"
Yang Guang was so anxious at the moment that he was at a loss, he was turning around in place.
Lu Yan was relatively calm, and after a quick thought, he said, "Can I hide in this building for a while?" When you go out, I'll find another opportunity to go downstairs." β
"No, I can't. β
Yang Guang immediately shook his head and said: "There are two Santanya warriors living on the top floor of this building, every day when we go out, they will immediately search from the top floor to the downstairs, if anyone stays in the building, they will directly kill the people who stay in the building." β
"That's ......"
Unexpectedly, the Santanya warrior was actually upstairs, and Lu Yan could not calm down at the moment.
At this time, the sleeping people in this building have gotten up, they rushed out of the room, rushed to the corridor, these people seemed to be chased by mad dogs, from their sleep just woke up and hurried downstairs, no one dared to fall behind others, these people when they passed by Lu Yan and Yang Guang, they were very strange to look at Lu Yan, after all, like Lu Yan here' There weren't many fat, fat, and fat people, but they just glanced at it, and then ran downstairs without saying anything, obviously, they saw Lu Yan's weirdness, but they didn't have time to pay attention to it.
"What should I do?" Yang Guang anxiously scratched his dusty hair and spun in circles.
It seems that it is not possible to stay upstairs, Lu Yan and the others were pushed by everyone and had to follow the flow of people around them to go downstairs first, every time they passed a floor, Lu Yan would look at the small spaces such as storage rooms and fire hydrants in this building, but these places had been smashed open, and there was no way to hide people.
"Either ......"
Yang Guang glanced at Lu Yan in embarrassment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Or, you go to work with us first, anyway, you don't have a remote-controlled bomb on you, then you will find a chance to escape, there is no way to leave now, there must be many aliens watching us below." β
"Won't I be recognized by others as a strange face?"
Lu Yan asked uneasily, he is a big man, if people recognize him as a wanted criminal in the world, plus the president of the anti-Austrian alliance, wouldn't it be more troublesome?
"It's okay, we have tens of thousands of people here, and new people are being arrested here every day, and people are dying every day, and no one will know who you are. Yang Guang said quickly and affirmatively.
After thinking about it, Lu Yan was not familiar with the situation here, so it was best to follow the method Yang Guang said, he nodded: "Okay, just do as you say." β
Seeing that Lu Yan agreed, Yang Guang immediately glanced at Lu Yan up and down quickly, and said, "You can't go out like this, you have to put on makeup before you can go out." β
"Makeup, what makeup?" Lu Yan was very surprised.
Yang Guang quickly looked around, and then he suddenly walked to the window, there was dust on the windowsill that had not been cleaned for many years, it was a finger thick, Yang Guang reached out and picked up a handful of dust, turned around and walked to Lu Yan's side, and lifted a handful of dust to the head of our president of the Anti-Austrian League. Phew' A stream of ash choked Lu Yan so that he couldn't open his eyes, and Yang Guang used his dirty hands full of dust, before Lu Yan came to Cairo this time, Xinli scratched his hair indiscriminately until he was scratched, and then Yang Guang looked sideways at Lu Yan's appearance, nodded and said:
"Alright, yes, so you can go out and meet people. β
