Feng Gulan was in a state of confusion, and the heat and soreness all over her body made her feel like she was back to when she was seventeen years old.

At that time, she was still a student at Yanjiangcheng High School, and she had a small dream, under the weight of homework and test papers, thinking about her future path.

It was also on that day that her world collapsed.

In the days when she had not yet overcome her fears, she could recall every day the tremors of the whole earth, and the agility of hiding under the table, chair and bench after a week of training.

Because of this, she could see the scene of her classmate being crushed by a boulder and having her arm cut by an electric fan.

Blood flowed like sewage on the classroom floor, mixed with the powder of the walls, mixed with the dirt of homework being trampled.

It was also mixed with the cries and wails of the classmates.

She could also remember that before the despair in their hearts had gathered, the whole world had become bright.

Walls and beams flew up, falling mud and sand continued to rise as if carried by the wind, the fans, tables, chairs and benches that were pressing on friends lost their gravity, and countless people ran from a distance to put them in ambulances.

It was also in this dazzling light that she saw the ice that was suspended in the air, but his face was full of tiredness, guilt, and helplessness.

Feng Gulan should have been grateful to Bing Shijue.

But the good times didn't last long, since Bing Shijue left Yanjiang City, the situation in Yanjiang City has become more chaotic, and from time to time, some bodies are festering everywhere, or outsiders who don't look like people invade, trying to kidnap the residents of Yanjiang City and force Bing Shijue to come out. At this time, there is still an army, which can make people resist for a while, but the frequent invasion and frequent battles have made the city along the river full of holes.

In Feng Gulan's heart, hatred began to brew.

She began to hate the ice that flew in the air, the ice that destroyed her good days.

Without her, her life would be ordinary, but definitely happier than it is now.

Now she can only live underground, huddled with everyone, eating in rooms where her breath smells of corruption, bathing inside, and even glancing up and down in the face of some ugly gaze. She really hated that.

She also misses her original life, An An completes her homework in different parts, can enjoy her own free space in the ordinary room, can read comic books, read novels, and then go to study. In this way, I ended my three years of high school and got a better life after entering college.

However, because of Bing Shijue, all of this was ruined.

Every day she wakes up, she can see nervous soldiers going out, and her parents can only comfort them by hugging them. Then go underground to work. Then, at noon, she could see the soldiers returning covered in blood. It made her feel fear, what was in the outside world, what should they do?

A few days later, Ren Jianguo at that time announced the news from the outside world, saying that because of Bing Shijue's departure, most of the enemies in the picnic area came to attack, hoping to get hostages from them in order to blackmail Bing Shijue. So I hope everyone can unite, and if you don't want to resist, take shelter underground for the time being. Although the environment here is not good, it is enough for people to live.

And those who are willing to resist will follow him and protect this place with the soldiers.

However, Feng Gulan at that time did not understand this.

In her world, there is only herself, as well as the small home of her father and mother.

She began to hate Bing Shijue, and even more obviously hated the tired Bing Shijue who had saved her.

It's all his fault, Dad is going to dig pipes in dangerous ground.

It's all his fault, mom has to go to the underground textile factory to finish the work.

It's all his fault, she has to live in such a world every day.

Such days will not end because of her complaints, but will become more painful.

A month later, she was suddenly woken up in her sleep by a loud noise, and when she opened her eyes in a haze, she found that the entire basement had become a mess, and all the signals and electronic devices had lost their original function. The soldiers were gathering, and Mom and Dad were nowhere to be found, and there was not even a note left.

Feng Gulan didn't know what was happening, but at that moment, the chaos in front of her, the noise she heard in her ears, and her sore body sleeping in her sleeping bag, and the arms of the children pushing each other, all made a thought pop up in her heart.

Escape, flee from here.

If you run away, you won't have such a life.

But what should be done exactly?

Feng Gulan didn't know.

But she knew that it was better to at least do it than not to do it.

As fast as possible, I collected my own canned food and water, and put them in my school bag. Then the panic came to the corner. Because the loud noise was only once, the crowded square had become much calmer under the silence of the soldiers. But the noise was still there, people were curious about what was going on, people were panicking about what was going on, what was going on on the ground.

Feng Gulan didn't care about that, she just wanted to get out.

She walked along the wall, her heart beating like a rabbit and trembling wildly.

As far as I can remember, there were three passages that the soldiers went to, and one of them was the most crowded because the road was the widest, and they were able to carry some equipment out. The other two, on the other hand, are basically not opened, but there are very few guards.

She was going to leave through the other two exits.

"Are you looking for your mom and dad?" The voice of a strange man made Feng Gulan almost scream, and she quickly turned her head, only to see a man who was wiping a pistol with his back to her.

"It's not...... I just want to ......" Feng Gulan's brain spun rapidly, and it was only at this time that she realized that her actions were impossible, how could she escape from here without doing prior investigation or careful planning?

"I just want to...... Go up and see, it's too stuffy in here. Feng Gulan lowered his head.

"It's dangerous up there, it's not good to go up." The man said, assembling his gun and standing up, "You can stay here in peace." ”

"But life here isn't good at all!" Feng Gulan whispered, "Wouldn't the one above be better......

"Hey......" The man sighed, lowered the muzzle of the gun, and turned to look at Feng Gulan. Feng Gulan also saw the name tag on his chest and learned his name.

Luo Rong.

"The ones above won't be good, they'll be worse." Luo Rong squatted down and looked at Feng Gulan's still immature face, "You should have learned, after the protective film, can we live on the ground?" ”

"No, because the air in the picnic area is toxic." Feng Gulan shook his head, "But some people say that this may be a hoax, someone deliberately locked us underground and made us kill each other, and then those people enjoy a good life on the ground." ”

"Ah, there's such a saying." Luo Rong nodded, "Then do you want to see what the world above is like?" ”

"Huh?" Feng Gulan raised his head in surprise, "Uncle, are you going to take me out?" ”

"No, I'm the one who is capable." Luo Rong smiled slightly, "Come, close your eyes, but I want to remind you that the pictures you can see are not all the best pictures." ”

After a few seconds, Feng Gulan felt that the world in front of her suddenly opened up, but this openness did not give her a comfortable feeling, she saw the top of her head, saw the arms and thighs that she subconsciously wanted to move, and saw Luo Rong raise his head and show a relieved smile to her.

She then "walked through" the thick wall and came to the ground.

She saw the ruins in the truest sense of the word, she saw the soldiers covered in bandages, she saw the soldiers wearily changing posts, resting in their beds, or going into the underground passages to change shifts.

She saw the city, and it was not the golden splendor of the rumors, nor the red lights of the imagination, nor the people who were enjoying it, and they were suffering.

It's all of them, and they're suffering.

The picture only stayed here, and in the next second, Feng Gulan felt her body fall suddenly, and she returned to her body, and that sense of fall made her sit directly on the ground.

She knew that during the month, some notifications were sent through the able, and the voices that would resound in everyone's heads.

Therefore, her reason knew that the person named Luo Rong in front of her was not lying.

Because there is no need.

Capable people are very precious resources wherever they are placed, and in just a few seconds of observation, she can see that there are also capable people among the soldiers, but compared to the one in front of her, it seems that he is more powerful.

If such people are able to do so, they just live underground, deliver information to them, or simply guard the gates.

So what will become of the world above?

"Because the world above exists for you below." Luo Rong noticed the change in Feng Gulan's expression, "The war against us in the picnic area will not end so easily, and in the days to come, we will use demagogic methods to make us defeat." ”

"But what's wrong with the picnic area?" Feng Gulan asked, "Isn't it nature to eat the strong?" ”

"It's an animal, not a man." Luo Rong looked at Feng Gulan and showed a bitter smile, "According to the theory of the law of the jungle, I can do anything to you, and you can't resist, right?" ”

After hearing this, Feng Gulan couldn't help but shrink up.

"That's what it means, we are human beings, not beasts, and the law of the jungle is nothing but an excuse and reason for aggression." Luo Rong said, keeping a little distance from Feng Gulan.

"After that...... What to do. Feng Gulan sat on the ground like this, still thinking about the tired appearance of the soldiers.

"It's easy to fight or surrender." Luo Rong said, "The picnic area wants us as hostages, so that we can threaten Bing Shijue...... But we can't give up. ”

"Bing Shijue......" Feng Gulan heard the name again, "You know him?" ”

"Yes, he's one of my former men." Luo Rong smiled slightly, sensing the change in the girl's expression, "You don't seem to like him." ”

"Because he'...... That's why I'm here to live. ”

"I think you're mistaken, little girl." Luo Rong turned around, "It's easy for us to ignore the perpetrators who have caused us harm and condemn those who protect us. ”

"I ......" Feng Gulan subconsciously wanted to refute, but she quickly understood that what Luo Rong said was right.

"Because we don't dare to blame, and we can't blame those who hurt us, so those who protect us become the best catharsis, and we give hatred to these protectors, we say they don't work hard enough, they don't care enough." Luo Rong smiled bitterly, "Of course, I will also have such emotions. But don't forget."

"Because we don't dare to blame, and we can't blame those who hurt us, so those who protect us become the best catharsis, and we give hatred to these protectors, we say they don't work hard enough, they don't care enough." Luo Rong smiled bitterly, "Of course, I will also have such emotions. But we must never forget who caused the disaster and who helped us. ”

"You should be a high school student, and you should have learned the story of Dou Mien and Dan Mi Hatred." Luo Rong said, "The thing is ......" Before the words fell, the more piercing sound and the more simple resounding throughout the entire underground passage made Luo Rong suddenly raise his head and squint his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Bad things." In Luo Rong's thoughts, he noticed that more and more people were coming to the picnic area, and their equipment began to become better, "You go back to the middle, I'm going up." ”

"Why go up, isn't it safer here?" Feng Gulan looked at Luo Rong who picked up the firearm.

"Just to protect you." Luo Rong walked towards the door that didn't open much, "Because I'm also a member of Yanjiang City." ”
