Ember didn't know, why did Liu Wusheng trap him in the small dark room, could it be that he was afraid that Ember would reveal his secret?

Embers could barely move despite being bound hand and foot, gritting his teeth and groping along the walls to try to find a way to escape, his fingers rustling across the cold walls that reverberated throughout the room, making the already eerie environment even more eerie.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then a beam of light came in, and the embers hid nervously in the corner, their eyes glued to the door.

Liu silently pushed open the door, holding a bowl of hot food in his hand, he gently walked into the room, placed the food on the ground in front of the embers, and then turned to leave.

Yu Huo looked at the bowl of hot food suspiciously, and couldn't help but think about Liu Wusheng's true purpose in his heart.

Is he going to trap the embers for a long time? Or will you test him, or will you reveal some information to him?

Determined to eat something before making plans, Ember picked up the bowl of hot food, only to find a note inside, and he carefully took out the note, which read: "After three days, leave on your own, remember not to be discovered." ”

Ember frowned, was this Liu Silent test, or his warning?

Ember had doubts in his heart, but at least, he knew that in three days, he would have a chance to leave this little dark house.

During these three days, in addition to exploring the surrounding environment, Ember was still waiting for Liu Wusheng's further actions, however, Liu Wusheng did not appear again, and three days later, Ember quietly left the small black house according to the instructions on the note.

Leaving the embers of the small black house, he didn't know that Meicheng at this time had actually fallen and fell into chaos

The embers were nervous and stepped into the plum city in the night.

The street lights were dim and blurry, and the silent alleys echoed with the sound of his footsteps, and he felt that he had walked into a dream, and the breath of Meicheng was already different, and that familiar and intimate feeling was replaced by an inexplicable emptiness.

He passed by a tavern that had once been bustling with activity, but now the door was closed, a dead silence, and the moonlight shining through the window cast a lonely shadow into the silent tavern, and he couldn't help but stop, trying to find the laughter and laughter that had once been, but only heard the sound of the wind passing through the empty alley.

A strong uneasiness rose in Yu Huo's heart, and he began to follow the route in his memory to the police station in Meicheng, however, when he arrived there, the originally brightly lit police station had also become dark, only the police badge at the door, flashing cold and hard in the moonlight.

Ember's heart raced, and he felt an unspeakable fear slowly engulfing him, and he decided to go deep into the police station to look for any possible clues.

The door of the police station was gently pushed open, and there was a long sound, and Yu Huo's heart instantly tightened, and he clenched the silver needle in his hand and stepped into the police station cautiously.

The police station is in shambles, papers are scattered all over the ground, desks and chairs have been overturned, and the once majestic police station has become a place of violence and chaos.

Ember stepped on the shattered glass and walked slowly, his gaze wandering around for any possible clues.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a black object in the corner of the wall, he walked over and found that it was a male corpse, his hand still holding a silver needle, his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

Ember's heart was struck by a deep sadness, and he knew that Meicheng was no longer the city he was familiar with, but a new world full of dangers and unknowns.

He needs to find answers, find a way out, find safety.

He began to search other areas of the police station, hoping to find some useful information, and he found a document in an office drawer that recorded some bizarre recent events.

These events include a number of unexplained disappearances and anomalous criminal behavior, and Ember realizes that this may be a report on the current state of affairs in Plum City.

As he was reading the document, he suddenly heard movement outside, his heart beat instantaneously, and he quickly hid in a corner.

The door was pushed open, and the light shone into the corner where the embers were, and he clung to the wall, his heartbeat seemed to ring in his ears, and he felt his breathing, becoming more and more rapid, sweat oozed from his hands, and he clenched the silver needle in his hand.

The visitor was a man in a police uniform, his face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, he quickly glanced at the office, as if looking for something, and saw the corner where the embers were hiding, he walked over quickly, his eyes were full of determination.

"Are you a police officer?"

Ember asked, his voice trembling a little.

The man didn't answer, his eyes scanned over Ember, and then he suddenly raised the gun in his hand, Ember was startled, he quickly dodged, and a gunshot rang out, echoing in the empty police station.

The man ended his life at his temple, Ember was shocked by the man's actions, and he watched the man fall to the ground, his heart filled with confusion and grief.

Yu Huo knows that Meicheng has completely changed, he needs to find a way out, and he needs to protect himself.

From the man's body, he found a police badge and a keychain, which he decided to use to open some rooms in the police station, hoping to find some useful items and information.

Yu Huo was about to dial Liu Tie's phone, but found that the mobile phone was out of power, and wanted to find a place to charge, but found that there was no socket to use, because Meicheng at this time had lost power in the whole city.

Ember stared at the dark screen of his mobile phone, anxiously looking for a way out, the power outage in the whole city made the whole city, like a silent dark room, without a trace of light, he groped his way forward, hoping to find a place to recharge.

However, every corner of the city was immersed in the same darkness, and as he walked down the street, there were only a few scattered lights of LED flashlights, flickering in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.

When he arrived at a mobile phone store, he found that it was also dark and the door was closed.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly spotted a vague figure moving around the store, his eyes widened in surprise, and he cautiously pushed the door open.

The store was filled with the smell of gasoline, which made him cough, however, his eyes, gradually adjusting to the darkness, began to be able to make out the items in the store.

The vague figure turned out to be an old man, who was using a flashlight to illuminate the charging equipment in the store.

He smiled a friendly smile at the sight of the embers.

"Are you...... Need to be recharged? ”

The old man asked.

Surprised, Ember walked quickly to the charging device, nodded and thanked the old man, he plugged in his phone, and watched it slowly rejuvenate, the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided.

In the process of charging, he chatted with the old man about the current situation in Meicheng, and the old man told him that the blackout was caused by a riot in the city, but the specific cause is still under investigation.

Ember inadvertently spotted the old man, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were not desperate, but full of hope.

However, at this moment, the phone screen lit up, the power had been restored, and Yu Huo looked at the familiar phone number, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He looked at the number, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, it was Liu Tie.

Their conversation was short and urgent, Liu Tie told him that Meicheng had fallen and was about to be closed, and the safe passage out of the city was only two hours, and he wanted to find a way out of the city as soon as possible.

Hanging up the phone, Ember stood in front of the window, looking out at the bustling street, the red warning lights flickering in the distance, a deep despair spreading in his heart.

He understands that this is his last chance, and if he can't get out of the city in these two hours, he may be trapped in the city and face an unknown fate.

He looked around at the old man, and said with some concern: "Thank you for providing charging equipment, hurry up and get out of the city, Meicheng can't stay anymore." ”

The old man smiled slightly, his eyes flashed with firmness and determination, "No, I've lived in Meicheng all my life, and I'm used to it here......"

He paused, turned his eyes to the window, seemed to see those familiar scenery through the thick fog, and said with nostalgia in his eyes: "There are too many memories of mine here, my family, friends, their bones are buried here, even if Meicheng changes, I can't leave, I want to guard them......"

Yu Huo looked at the old man, his face was full of traces of time, and the worry in his heart turned into respect, the old man's decision was incomprehensible to him, but his firmness and persistence made him feel an inexplicable comfort.

It is said that the fallen leaves return to the roots, perhaps, this is the persistence that the old man wants to keep when he is dying.

The old man looked at the falling leaves outside the window, and his heart was full of deep affection. His life, no matter how many ups and downs he has experienced, how many joys he has experienced, is inseparable from the land that raised him.

His roots are there, and his heart is there.

When he was dying, what he wanted was to be able to keep that persistence, that deep love for Meicheng, and he wanted to leave this world quietly at his roots, just like those fallen leaves, and return to their roots.

Ember was deeply moved by his persistence, but Ember couldn't sit still, he needed to save himself and leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that the mobile phone had been charged to 80 percent, Yu Huo unplugged the mobile phone and was about to leave, but he didn't want the old man, so he got up and stopped him, pointed to the mobile energy storage device on the ground, and said: "You put this thing in the car, I hope to give you some help." ”

"Keep it for yourself, if you don't have electricity, there will be a lot of inconvenience."

"I'm ...... It doesn't matter if there is electricity or not, take it, go and save the new world. ”

The old man had something to say, and he seemed to see that Ember was here to save Meicheng, but he didn't break the words, which made Ember respect the old man again.

At this point, if Yu Huo wanted to refuse again, it would be a little unkind, and put the mobile energy storage device on the police car that drove out of the Meicheng Police Station, and said, "Thank you! May you be happy. ”

"I wish you a nice trip."

Leaving the mobile phone store, Ember drove the police, this was the first time he drove a police car, the feeling of pulling the wind made him fluttering, but at this time, it was not the time to be shy, and a group of passers-by were densely packed in front of him, grinning and grinning towards him.

Afterglow suddenly felt that something was wrong, his heartbeat, like a crazy drumbeat, rhythmically beating his chest, and he held the steering wheel tightly in his hand, his fingertips cold, but full of strength.

His breath condensed into a tiny white mist in the cold night, and whenever he inhaled cold air, his lungs felt like they were pierced by cold steel needles.

This group of passers-by was not an ordinary group of passers-by, their faces became blurred, only the pair of eyes without eyes, steaming crimson......
