Chapter 31: What Happened to Ordinary People

September 3, 2015.

Jia Yi is taking Chen Rui, Xu Qinxue, Wang Hao, and Chen Zibi to inspect the surrounding environment of Jiangnan City.

To build a safe base for human survival, it is necessary to enclose the entire city with a steel wall.

Today's modern cities are completely open, and no large city is surrounded by walls.

Now, they need to look at the surrounding environment of Gangnam City to determine where the steel fence will be built.

... Five days ago.

Jia Yi brought his cronies, the Huashan Squad, and the descendants of the army to Jiangnan City, and took over the government and army of Jiangnan City.

In the past five days, Jia Yi has convened experts from various departments to discuss the construction plan and steps of the base city day and night.

Yesterday, the general schedule of work was laid out.

Considering the infestation of monsters during construction.

They plan to fully complete the construction of Jiangnan Base City within 2 years.

Within 4 years, the construction work of the surrounding Eight David City will be completed.

Of course, if the problem of monster infestation can be effectively solved, the construction period will be greatly shortened.

...

Today, they came to the outskirts of Jiangnan City to conduct a field investigation to determine the specific foothold of the steel fence.

In order to accommodate a larger population, they needed to maximize the coverage of the wall within the resources available to them.

Regarding this field trip, Chen Rui only accompanied him, and did not actually participate in the research and discussion work. These are the things that Jia Yi and the engineering experts worry about, and he only needs to ensure the safety of these people.

He walked through the deserted suburbs, and from time to time he saw refugees fleeing here.

The faces of these refugees are filled with sadness that is difficult to hide. They have all lost their original homes and perhaps many of their loved ones.

Of course, they are lucky compared to those who have died on the way to escape.

Suddenly, Chen Rui saw a familiar face, he said hello to Jia Yi, and immediately greeted him.

"Li Jingjing? You're Li Jingjing! It's me, Chen Rui. ”

The girl was originally walking with her head down, but suddenly heard a familiar voice, she raised her eyes, looked the young man in front of her up and down, and said in surprise:

"Chen Rui! It's you, why are you here. Are you here as a refugee? ”

In this strange foreign country, she actually met her former classmates, which made her feel a little warm, and the haze on her face faded slightly.

Chen Rui was also a little happy in his heart, looking at the once familiar face, he was in a trance. Only then did he remember that he was only 18 years old, and if he hadn't had the RR virus, he would have completed the college entrance examination by now and was sitting in a university classroom.

Chen Rui scratched his head, and an 18-year-old boy had a youthful expression on his face:

"You just take me as I am. You...... How have you been? ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Jingjing, who had just smiled a little, immediately dimmed her eyes, and tears were faintly visible in the corners of her eyes:

"It's gone, it's all gone. The college entrance examination is gone, the house is gone, my father is gone, my mother is gone. It's all gone, I don't have anything left. I was the only one who escaped.

"That day......

With tears in her eyes, she began to tell calmly about her ordeal.

Chen Rui listened quietly.

Listen to her tell how the monster broke into her home.

Listen to her tell how her dad desperately stopped the monster and covered her and mom to flee in a car.

Listen to her tell how her mother protected her and went to the mountains and forests to find food for her during the escape.

Listening to her story, one day, her mother went out and never came back. She waited for three days and three nights, and finally hid her face and left.

Listen to her talk about how she finally came here after a lot of hardships alone.

During the narration, she did not yell loudly, nor did she howl and cry, tears rolled in her eyes, but they never fell.

Although she didn't cry, Chen Rui could feel her despair from the depths of her eyes.

The despair of completely losing hope in life, living just to live.

Chen Rui was silent for a long time.

This is what happened to an ordinary person during the Great Nirvana.

And such ordinary people, hundreds of millions!

Not everyone has the strength to protect their families as much as he does.

In the past, although he had escorted many refugees, perhaps because he was not familiar with them, Chen Rui did not have too many deep feelings.

But Li Jingjing, he is very familiar.

He had met Li Jingjing's parents, her father was a doctor and her mother was a teacher. The father is kind, the mother is strict.

He was invited to Li Jingjing's home for a birthday party, which was a warm and humane home.

He knew that Li Jingjing studied hard and had excellent grades.

If there is no Great Nirvana, Li Jingjing may be admitted to a good key university, and after completing her studies, she will find a good job and form a beautiful family.

But now, she has nothing!

Chen Rui felt panicked in his heart.

Suddenly, he wanted to do something for more people, but he didn't have that strength.

He can kill a lot of monsters, but there are so many monsters that they can multiply faster than he can kill them.

He thought about it. Keeping Jiangnan City and letting Jiangnan Base City be built as soon as possible to receive more refugees like Li Jingjing and give them a safe place to stay, this is the only thing he can do at present.

But he always felt that he needed to do something for this former classmate, in order to make his mood a little more relaxed.

So, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote his autograph on it, and handed it to Li Jingjing:

"Although the government will provide shelter and food to the refugees, the environment of the shelter and the quality of the food are somewhat poor. Our classmates, I can't bear to see you like this. You take this piece of paper and go to the Jiangnan HR Alliance Mall, and someone will come to pick you up and arrange a job for you. At least it will allow you to have a decent life. ”

Subsequently, he took out his mobile phone again, edited a text message and sent it to Pan Han, asking him to help arrange a clerical job for Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing didn't seem to understand Chen Rui's words, she held the paper and looked at Chen Rui suspiciously. In her opinion, Chen Rui's experience should be similar to her, and she is just a refugee who fled here, how can she arrange a job for her with a piece of paper and a text message.

You know, the area around Gangnam City is now crowded with refugees. The most important thing is people, and the most lacking is jobs.

Chen Rui saw Li Jingjing's doubts, he tried to squeeze out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed:

"What's wrong? I'm not a refugee. Your old classmate and I are developed, and I can be regarded as the number one person in Jiangnan City. Look at my clothes, do you look like a refugee? ”

Only then did Li Jingjing notice that Chen Rui was wearing a military uniform, and there were many badges on the uniform. Although she couldn't understand the meaning of these badges, she thought they were also status symbols.

"Well, that's all I can do for you, good luck!"

Although she still had some doubts, Li Jingjing still decided to believe Chen Rui, and after thanking Chen Rui, she walked in the direction pointed by Chen Rui.

The pace is a little brisker!

Chen Rui watched Li Jingjing walk away and slowly exhaled.

He had fantasized countless times before that when he was developed, he must find an opportunity to appear in front of his former classmates and pretend to be an X.

But now, he didn't want to......
