absolutely hot

Xiao Mo and Meng Anru fought out of the small town, and then joined Lan Shangwu and Yu Bo. They managed to catch a member of the Skeleton Legion, and learned from the other party that he and Lan Aowen fell off the cliff. Since then, they have been searching for their whereabouts near the cliff.

"It's a good thing we didn't give up." Xiao Mo said with a sense of relief as the group temporarily gathered in a coffee shop in Hegu Town.

Lan Aowen sat alone in a dark corner of the coffee shop, leaning on the sofa with his arms folded and his head up, his eyes closed as if he was sleeping, but Su Ze noticed that his crossed Erlang legs were shaking all the time, and knew that he was actually listening.

"What are your plans?" Su Ze asked Xiao Mo.

"It's still the old plan." Xiao Mo replied.

The old plan refers to their previous plan, to go to the survivor base in the north. It seems that everyone believes that such a base exists, protected by armed forces of the military, and all survivors can be sheltered. The last ark of mankind or something, Although they have been tossing all the way, they didn't even see the shadow of the government or the army.Su Ze thought about it a little bit, and suddenly felt that these things had become unattractive to him.

"It's impossible for this small town to remain peaceful for a long time." Xiao Mo said as if he could see what he was thinking.

He closed his eyes, Xiao Mo was right.

Everyone collected supplies in the small town separately and prepared to leave. Su Ze noticed that the little boy with yellow hair was secretly looking at Lan Aowen all the way. move things.

The yellow-haired boy, nicknamed Egg Tart, enthusiastically picked up a box of repair tools in front of Lan Aowen, but when he got up, he saw Lan Aowen suddenly raised his arm, and Egg Tart flinched back a little fearfully, but Lan Aowen He just raised his arm and rested it on the shelf, and the slender fingers of his left hand dropped lazily next to the boy's eyes. This action made Egg Tart find the platinum ring, and blinked unexpectedly:

"you are married?"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Meng Anru, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. He picked up the things on the shelf and said to Lan Aowen who was opposite him: "I haven't seen you for a few days and you are married? You can't get married!"

Lan Aowen put down his arms in satisfaction, raised his eyebrows and asked Meng Anru at the other side of the shelf, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Meng Anru shrugged: "Of course it has nothing to do with me. I don't have the good fortune to marry a beautiful, virtuous and caring wife like you." He said with a disgusted glance at Lan Shangwu who was putting things in the trunk outside the hardware store. "My life is worthy of marrying Interpol, and I can't give up even if I want to."

.

Four days later, they went all the way north, crossed the bridge across the river, and rescued two men surrounded by zombies at the bridgehead. One of them was an international friend named John, and the other was John's companion named Beiji.Their car broke down, but they were reluctant to abandon the car and run away. After killing the zombies, Su Ze and Xiao Mo helped repair the Mercedes-Benz four-wheel drive of an international friend, and John and Beiji joined the team logically.

They arrived at the satellite city of Chicheng not long after crossing the transitional river bridge. They obviously underestimated the danger of the satellite city. They encountered a wave of zombies just after entering the satellite city. They ran out of ammunition when they broke out, and the last vaccine was used Injured Becky.

At this time, the group stopped in a church on the outskirts of the city.

Su Ze looked outside the door. There was a separate bell tower outside the church. Xiao Mo observed the surrounding situation on it, and he would go up to change shifts in half an hour.

Lan Shangwu and Meng Anru went to search for supplies and ammunition. There were only international friends John, Beiji, Egg Tart, and Lan Aowen standing in front of the cross of the crucified Jesus in the church. It seemed a bit empty, and even his footsteps echoed.

Lan Aowen was wearing a classic lapel biker jacket, white T-shirt and jeans. Maybe he was standing too casually. With such a shape, he looked a bit rebellious in the sacred and solemn atmosphere of the church, but Lan Aowen In fact, you are not looking at Jesus Christ on the cross, but looking at the spiral labyrinth on the church floor.This is a classic design imitating Chartres Cathedral, and it is said that whoever walks to the flower in the center of the maze will be born again.

However, after reading the maze, Lan Aowen lost interest. He stepped straight through the maze line and looked up at the tall mosaic stained glass window ahead.

"What do these pictures mean?"

In the empty cathedral, Lan Aowen's deep voice swirled among the layers of vaults and columns, giving him an extraordinarily gorgeous feeling.

"It should be a painted religious story." Su Ze stepped forward and looked at one of the stained glass panes. "This is about Gabriel conveying the gospel to Mary that she is about to conceive a son."

"There is Gabriel, so is there Lucifer?" Lan Aowen asked.

"Lucifer is a fallen angel, probably won't appear in the murals of the church." Su Ze replied.

"Really?" Lan Aowen shrugged, "I just want to see what the devil looks like, and how ugly he can be."

Su Zexin said that Lucifer certainly could not be ugly. Before Jesus, he was called the vice prince of the kingdom of heaven. He was the first angel created by Jehovah, and he was the model for all the archangels including Michael Gabriel.His reason for falling to heaven seemed very naive, he was just unwilling to kneel and submit to the Messiah, the Son of God.

Su Ze looked at Lan Aowen beside him. The design of the church has a sense of solemnity and holiness. Even non-believers, when they walk into the church, see the statue of the crucified Christ, and see him bear the sins of the world, he is sympathetic. Eyes will also give birth to faith and humility.Lan Aowen didn't seem to have the slightest feeling for the statue of the crucified Christ. He trampled on the maze that pilgrims used to walk through step by step on their knees.Su Ze thought with emotion in his heart, when Lucifer was asked to kneel down to the Son of God, his disdainful attitude was nothing more than that.Thinking of this, he suddenly understood, the first angel in the heaven, such a beautiful and proud existence, how could he kneel down his noble body to anyone other than the Creator, even the Creator can only create him, not dominate him .

If God compromised with Lucifer and told him that you don't have to kneel down, would Lucifer go back to the Lord's side?Will not.From the moment he refused to kneel, he had taken the unforgivable sin of his pride, and from that moment he was evil incarnate.His rebellion and his crimes all stemmed from the pride at that moment, but what sin was there in that pride? Isn’t that also the Lord’s pride?

In the legends of the Bible, Lucifer is always the most special. Adam and Eve were exiled because they disobeyed God, and Cain was branded immortal by God because he killed Abel. No matter how serious the sin is, the only way to prostrate before the Lord is to bear the punishment from the Lord.Only Lucifer, who is also the creation of the Lord, always controls his own destiny.God has no way to really punish him, because for Lucifer, even if he falls into hell, his pride cannot be broken.Countless angels followed him to hell, and demons also surrendered at his feet. How ironic, those who don't believe in God willingly kneel down at Lucifer's feet.No wonder Milton clearly wanted to praise Jesus when he wrote Paradise Lost, but he was involuntarily attracted by Satan when he wrote.Because anyone who imagines the beautiful fallen angel sitting on the high throne of Hell Mountain, with countless ugly and hideous demons boiling at his feet in the whole hell, will be shocked from the bottom of his heart—he was once the most beautiful The Vice-Prince of Heaven is now the most beautiful King of Hell.

Su Ze thought to himself, how many times he was hit by Lan Aowen's cruelty and ruthlessness, but how many times he was attracted by Lan Aowen's pride, courage, rebelliousness, and fearlessness. On the other side, but there is a faint awareness in his heart that one day, this person will be king in the deepest darkness where he can't see.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing him lost in thought, Lan Aowen asked.

"It's nothing." Su Ze looked down at the ring on Lan Aowen's hand, "You have to wear this ring carefully."

Lan Aowen lowered his head and twirled the ring on his finger, and the corner of his lips hooked proudly: "Of course." Then he looked straight at Jesus Christ on the cross, "Since we are in church, why don't you help me put it on again?"

Su Ze looked at Lan Aowen's playful face and the left hand that was handed to him: "...No need." He said, "I don't believe in religion."

You don't believe him anyway.Lucifer was also not blessed by God.

The door of the church opened behind the two of them. Su Ze turned his head when he heard the sound, and Xiao Mo, who was holding a compound bow, looked solemn:

"Lou Zhan's convoy is here."

.

Using binoculars on the clock tower, Xiao Mo discovered that Lou Zhan's troops had arrived nearby, and they might pass by the church at any time within an hour. Lan Shangwu and Meng Anru hadn't returned yet, but the current situation forced them to wait any longer.

"We must evacuate first." Xiao Mo said in a deep voice.

John and Beiji didn't dare to hesitate at all when they heard Lou Zhan's name, they nodded quickly and packed up their things swiftly.Su Ze went to help Uncle Yu pack his things, but the old man suddenly raised his head and said nervously, "Master?!"

Su Ze was in a bad mood, turned around, and saw Lan Aowen took the m16 on the bench and walked towards the outside of the church.

"Lan Aowen!" He got up and called to stop him.

"I'm not leaving." Lan Aowen stopped in front of the shining church gate, left these words, and disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.

John and Beiji looked at the direction where Lan Aowen left, and looked at each other. They didn't know who to listen to for a moment, and they both stopped packing their things. The church was silent for a while, until John said: "Maybe Lan Shang Wu and the others will be back soon."

Xiao Mo had no choice but to compromise: "Then wait another half an hour. If Lan Shangwu and the others don't come back after half an hour, they must leave."

.

Su Ze found Lan Aowen on the bell tower of the church. Lan Aowen leaned against the pillar of the bell tower with his gun in his hands in unusual silence. He was about to go up when he saw someone climbed up the bell tower first. It was an egg tart.

The little boy put his arms around Lan Aowen courteously, spreading his hands for a while, shrugging his shoulders for a while, with a very vivid expression. It seemed that Lan Aowen didn't hear a word. He looked back from a distance and saw Su Ze under the bell tower.

"I think Brother Shangwu and the others will be back soon," Egg Tart was still talking endlessly, "After all, we are brothers, I can understand how you feel..."

Lan Aowen turned his head coldly, the young man was stunned by the cold eyes that were completely inconsistent with his beautiful appearance, Lan Aowen said coldly: "Do you want me to tell you that you can leave me alone?" Soon' or 'Get out'?"

Teenagers no longer make fun of themselves.After Egg Tart left, Su Ze went up to the clock tower and stood beside Lan Aowen, observing the direction of Lou Zhan's motorcade in the distance: "We have to leave in half an hour."

Lan Aowen didn't speak, just watched the smoke billowing in the distance silently, Su Ze saw that the other party couldn't talk for a while, so he turned around and went down, but his hand was pulled from behind.

When he turned his head, Lan Aowen was still silently looking into the distance, holding his hand but not intending to let go.

Half an hour passed quickly, and he still didn't see the black Mercedes-Benz four-wheel drive of Lan Shangwu and Meng Anru. Su Ze had a bad feeling in his heart.

A group of people in the church were ready, the black Cherokee stopped at the door of the church, Xiao Mo opened the door and looked up to the clock tower.Su Ze said to Lan Aowen for the last time: "After we leave, we will mark Lan Shangwu and Meng Anru. If they are still alive, they will have a chance to find us."

Lan Aowen let go of his hand before he finished speaking, and said calmly: "Take Uncle Yu and leave, I'll come back to find you later."

Su Ze suddenly realized that Lan Aowen didn't want to stay here to wait for Lan Shangwu, but to wait for Lou Zhan. This thought made him shudder, and he said firmly, "I don't care what grievances you have with Lou Zhan, we have to go now."

"No matter what grievances I have with Lou Zhan," Lan Aowen turned his head with deep eyes, "I said I will catch up with you, and I will catch up with you."

That tone was like an irreversible order, but his eyes were like a solemn promise. Su Ze could only look at Lan Aowen's back turning his head determinedly.

"Let's go," Lan Aowen said, "I don't want to say it a second time."

Su Ze finally left with Xiao Mo. Even if he didn't leave by himself, he would promise to take Uncle Yu with him. He was the last person Lan Aowen cared about in this world.

The Grand Cherokee left the church. Su Ze looked at Lan Aowen who was standing alone on the clock tower. Lan Aowen did not look down at them, his attention was always on Lou Zhan in the distance.For a second, Su Ze even suspected that even if this moment was a farewell, as long as he could kill Lou Zhan, Lan Aowen would only feel a little bit of regret after the pleasure of hatred was satisfied.

In the back row of the Cherokee, Uncle Yu coughed and said persistently, "You don't need to take me with you, please let me stay..."

"I promised him to take you away," Su Ze withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Please don't make things difficult for me."
