Chapter 288: The Way Home is Confused
Walking out of the door, Ye Ning stood alone in this wasted and desolate city, and the surrounding scene made people's hearts feel cold. The high-rise buildings collapsed, leaving only the ruins and broken walls, exuding a smell of decay. The once-busy streets are now empty, and an atmosphere of decay and decay permeates the air.
I was on the first floor of the store, the whole store was covered in broken glass, the goods on the shelves had long since rotted, and only the scattered relics were scattered on the ground. The silent streets are filled with weeds and garbage that occupy every corner of the city, as if a mockery of the bustling past.
Dust flutters in the wind, leaves stain the streets, carrying memories of bygone years, silently telling the desolation of the city. There were no pedestrians, no vehicles, only the occasional faint whistling of the distant wind blowing through the ruins.
The sky was gray, and dark clouds hung over the city, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate it. Lightning occasionally streaked through the clouds, illuminating the ruins for a moment, and then plunging into darkness again, as if to herald the end of the city.
Seeing all this, Ye Ning's heart was heavy and lonely, and I felt the sadness and helplessness of the people carried by this city. But in this desolate scene, I also see a glimmer of hope that the city can be revitalized and the rhythm of life can be restored.
He Yulan followed closely behind Ye Ning, looked up at the sky, and said to Ye Ning very happily: "It's not bad, it won't rain." But it looks like it's going to rain soon. You've got to get back. My sister didn't send it. ”
Ye Ning's face was as red at the moment, and the flush on the left side of his face was because he had resisted for the last time just now, and He Yulan just caressed it gently, so that Ye Ning was sober and aware of the situation. However, the attack was really light, and Ye Ning's face was not very red.
Ye Ning glanced at He Yulan, how could he still talk so happily. If it does rain, it's not her who gets drenched in the rain, and you only deliver it to the door......
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't make it rain. But it's very strange, the weather forecast does not rain, I don't know why it rains every day these days. Then, He Yulan touched Ye Ning's head and said happily: "As for whether it rains or not, it depends on your luck, ask for more blessings." ”
was suddenly touched and killed, Ye Ning wanted to resist, but the other party was strong, and the redness and swelling on his face had already told him: I don't accept it!
He Yulan took out her mobile phone, searched out the map of the entire deserted city, handed it to Ye Ning, and said like a shopkeeper at this moment: "Find your destination yourself, I won't send it." ”
Ye Ning glanced at the map, fortunately, he had seen the location of their supply station when he was waiting for Lin Jingfeng before. If you look at it for a while, you will probably be able to find your target location.
After all, in the midst of this ruin, it is basically a straight line distance, and finding a building is a breeze. After a while, Ye Ning nodded to indicate that he had found his way.
"Then you'll go back by yourself." As she spoke, He Yulan rubbed it, and then gently pinched Ye Ning's face that was slapped by her, like a caress and a teasing.
Ye Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to set off, and didn't forget to explain it to prevent himself from being beaten again: "I'm afraid of rain, so I'll leave first." ”
Not long after Ye Ning walked out, there was a voice of "wait a minute" from behind. With the experience of the last time, Ye Ning did not look back at He Yulan this time, but continued to walk without looking back. If there is really something, He Yulan will say it directly, and Ye Ning is not inaudible at this distance. Prevent first-hand harassment.
Seeing Ye Ning's reaction, He Yulan smiled and said loudly: "There has been a pig wandering around here in the past few days, so hide when you see it!" ”
Ye Ning didn't look back, and continued to walk forward, just beckoning to show that he knew.
"Shy, well-behaved, and a little stubborn. Except that his temper is really exactly the same as your father's. He Yulan looked at Ye Ning's background, leaked a sweet smile, and stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, "Yes, I like it." ”
Then, He Yulan immediately turned around and returned home, and at this moment her expression became the same as that of a little girl: "I'm starving, it's time to eat something and get down to business." ”
And on the other side, under this dim and cool weather, Ye Ning walked through this ruin, as if he was wandering in a labyrinth that had lost the breath of life. Every step seemed to step on the silence and despair, feeling the smell of the city's slow demise.
Ye Ning was holding compressed biscuits and mineral water given to him by He Yulan in his hand, which seemed to be the only food on the surface of He Yulan's house. Ye Ning still paid attention to He Yulan's family.
Looking at the pressed biscuits and mineral water, Ye Ning's stomach was already growling. Maybe he was really in a coma for two days, and after he didn't take a few steps, there was already a feeling of emptiness in his body.
Ye Ning opened the biscuits, ate them while drinking water, and padded his stomach. Thinking that He Yulan gave him all the food at home, probably the only thing to eat, his heart was still a little warm. While eating and drinking, tears also flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Don't get me wrong, this is certainly not a tear of emotion.
Ye Ning was slapped by Jin Wennan not long ago and swollen on one side of his face, and because of his resistance to He Yulan, he was slapped and swollen on the other side of his face. And at the beginning, Ye Ning's chest was punched heavily by He Yulan, and now it hurts again.
Therefore, Ye Ning's expression was now distorted, and his brows were furrowed. Every time he chewed on the very hard compressed biscuit, the redness of his cheeks became more pronounced, and the pain came like a tidal wave.
Ye Ning carefully bit down a piece of biscuit, but as soon as he chewed it, the pain in his face hit his nerve endings. He held his breath and struggled to endure the pain of being smashed by the boulder in his chest, as if all the pain was concentrated in this moment.
The action of chewing food made Ye Ning's cheeks tingle like being pricked by needles, so he gently put down the food and pressed his hands to his chest, trying to relieve the pain in his chest. Either way, every meal was accompanied by tearing pain, leaving him feeling helpless and hopeless.
He lowered his head, tears of pain glinted in his eyes. Each swallow was like sending a flame into his chest, making him feel suffocated and restrained. He felt the stinging pain of the food in his mouth falling into his stomach, as hot as a volcanic eruption.
Pain Ye Ning's appetite disappeared, and every bite of food turned into a sharp knife that pierced his body, making him feel complete pain. But his stomach rumbled, reminding him that he needed to eat, and the feelings of hunger and pain intertwined to create a feeling of struggle and confusion. Ye Ning fell into a dilemma like this.
After walking for about an hour, Ye Ning finally finished eating the compressed biscuit. Obviously, it was only the size of a palm, but it made Ye Ning eat for an hour. It's too painful to swallow.
But fortunately, Ye Ning has been hungry for two days, and now his hungry stomach is a little contracted. This piece of compressed biscuit, a bottle of water, is almost full, and there is no pressure left.
It's just that along the way, why didn't you encounter any demon beasts to chase and intercept you? Ye Ning could be sure that before he was full, his combat power would not be half of the original, and if a demon beast suddenly popped out on the road, Ye Ning would even die on the spot.
"Is it because this is He Yulan's home?" Ye Ning thought of the idea at this time. The reason why He Yulan didn't come to send him out was because He Yulan was sure that the surroundings of her house were absolutely safe, and there wasn't even a single demon beast, not even a passing soy sauce.
"Also, if you are bullied by those bounty hunters, wearing this brand and reporting your sister's name, no one will dare to touch you!" He Yulan's words echoed in Ye Ning's ears.
Ye Ning took out the badge He Yulan handed him from his pocket. It was an off-white badge, carved with a lifelike beige orchid, and a little bit of azure raindrops engraved on it, which really responded to the homonym of He Yulan's "Yulan".
Looking at this badge, thinking about what He Yulan said to him, then thinking about the way the Fengchuan group dispersed in a hurry at that time, and then looking at the environment where there were no demon beasts around. Ye Ning had to sigh from the bottom of his heart: "Sister He is really strong!" "Even the demon beasts are terrified, and they don't even dare to approach this area.
Ye Ning wore it on his badge, but at the same time, he began to think about why He Yulan was so strong but why he was so poor, and the poor living conditions might be to facilitate hunting. But why isn't there much to eat, drink, and use? It's also too expensive to be weird.
In Ye Ning's opinion, He Yulan should at least be an S-level master, and He Yulan, an A-level demon beast, should have caught a lot. According to the price that Ye Ning knew when he was working in Night City, He Yulan's should not be so poor, and at least the medicines for eating and drinking should not be worried.
But why didn't He Yulan see any medicine at home? I feel that the pain of being beaten is not much better, so where did she spend all her money? Is that a very good-looking white dress? Or is it food and drink?
Ye Ning's thinking jumped like this, just now he was still thinking about He Yulan's money, but now when he thought about it, he thought of He Yulan's eating and drinking.
"That's right, I seem to have eaten the only bit of food left in He Yulan's house, so what does He Yulan eat?" Ye Ning began to think.
But soon, Ye Ning retorted to himself and scolded himself: "Why did I start worrying about him? Ahh She was responsible for almost half of the injuries on her body. ”
Ye Ning shook his head, thinking about this strange thing over and over again, while walking towards his destination, hoping that Lin Jingfeng and the others were not too worried.
But it's too strange along the way, this should be out of He Yulan's sphere of influence, why didn't he see any demon beasts along the way?
