sunset escape

Liu Yao woke up very early, it was only after five o'clock, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

There was a lot of trouble at noon during the day, and almost everyone in the base came to watch Zhuang Fan beat someone up.

Although Zhuang Fan looked a little unkind, he was easy to talk to on weekdays, and he didn't expect to be so merciless when he beat someone up.All five of them had bruised noses and swollen faces, and one of the men who was in charge of guarding the small warehouse was in a more tragic situation, with one of his teeth knocked out.

The young man was a little puzzled. As the manager of the base, Zhuang Fan didn't drive these people away after beating them. Wasn't he afraid that they would wait for an opportunity to retaliate?

What concerned him the most was the look in the warehouse guard's eyes when he was beaten.The man's eyes kept squinting in a certain direction, Liu Yao glanced along and found Xia Shuya who was inconspicuous among the crowd.

You are sick, this man, if you get caught for stealing, you will suffer the consequences of yourself, what are you doing staring at other girls?

Liu Yaoyue thought that something was wrong, so he sat up abruptly, got up in the sleeping environment around him, and walked towards the open space outside the warehouse.

The rain had stopped, and a small sheet of plastic was spread outside the warehouse door, and three people were sitting around it. They were fighting landlords with a pair of poker they got from somewhere, by the light of a very dim flashlight beside them.

One Zhuang Fan, one buddy Zhuang Fan, and the rest was Xia Shuya.Two empty candy packaging boxes were discarded on the ground, and there were some loose candies beside the three of them, but the girl's side had the most, piled up into a hill.

Zhuang Fan caught a glimpse of his figure, raised his head and waved to him, "It's just in time, your classmate plays poker very well, and our two brothers are almost losing their fortune, you come and change."

Liu Yao hadn't figured out why Xia Shuya was here, so he was chased away and took the poker cards from the girl's hand.

He sat down on the ground, threw out a card, and turned to Xia Shuya: "Aren't you sleeping in the car, why are you here?"

The girl moved to the back and sat down, looking sleepy, as if she wasn't interested in anything, and replied briefly: "It's boring in the car, come down and take a walk."

"Hey, three belts and one, do you want it?" Zhuang Fan had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it, and couldn't help but urge him impatiently.

The boy hurriedly turned his head, glanced at the card, waved his hand and said no.

Zhuang Fan suddenly laughed: "You boy, where did your thoughts go?"

Liu Yao scratched his chin, and said awkwardly: "No, I just think that there is a hidden danger in the incident at noon, and I want to ask Brother Zhuang what you think."

"What do you think?" Zhuang Fan boldly threw out four cards, speaking with disdain, "Evil will be rewarded with evil."

That's right, with so many people watching, and so many people taking turns on duty, even if those people want to take revenge, they won't have a chance.

Liu Yao felt relieved, since he didn't feel sleepy anyway, he simply concentrated on playing cards.

The four of them had nothing to say, they quietly watched the night and played cards by the way.

I don't know how long it has passed, but before dawn, the night watchman on the other side of the base suddenly came to Zhuang Fan, saying that he had found something wrong and asked him to go and have a look.

Zhuang Fan threw down the cards, stood up, stretched, and followed the man.

Not long after, Zhuang Fan came back and called his buddies away. It turned out that a section of barbed wire was broken and needed help to repair it quickly.Before leaving, he also told the two minors to keep watch, and someone will come to change shifts at dawn.

Liu Yao yawned, looked at Xia Shuya, who was drowsy, and woke her up ruthlessly, "Hey, are you going out to look for it today?"

Xia Shuya opened her eyes again.They have tried three times, each time to no avail.Maybe God has given her the answer, so she doesn't have to struggle anymore.

"Are you still looking for it?" The girl murmured thinking about her sister's appearance, "Maybe I really can't find it."

As a deskmate who has been with him for half a year, Liu Yao couldn't see his classmate's distraught appearance, and was about to comfort him when he heard a slight movement.

"Did you hear that?" he said alertly.

Xia Shuya turned her head and looked around, then suddenly stopped, her expression became serious, "It's on fire."

Before Liu Yao could react, he pulled him up and said, "Hurry up, put out the fire!"

The young man finally saw the fire, it was in a corner of the warehouse at the base, the fire climbed up the wooden shelves, quickly ignited the plastic sheeting, and then spread rapidly.

Liu Yao stopped Xia Shuya who was about to rush in, calmly with despair, "Wait a minute, where do we get water to put out the fire?"

The girl froze for a moment.

Yeah, are they going to use drinking water for survival to put out fires?

Fire in Doom is deadly.

In the entire base, no one has the capital and power to save the fire, so they can only let it burn more and more.

The shelter was quickly engulfed in flames, lighting up a stretch of the night sky.People scattered in panic, even though the surroundings were empty, the movement attracted sporadic zombies.

The temporary base has no cohesion and is extremely loose, and everyone flees for their lives.Zhuang Fan was at his wits' end, and before he had time to be surprised and angry, he directed his subordinates to defend against the zombies, and he led his people to rush out as much supplies as possible from the small warehouse.

When they came back to their senses, their truck had been stolen, together with the supplies that were not unloaded in the truck in time.

Zhuang Fan caught a glimpse of the group of thieves, the five he beat up at noon.Presumably they set the fire on purpose to destroy the shelter of more than 100 people and escaped by themselves.

It was his own momentary kindness that caused the fire, and he owed everyone an explanation.

But looking at the chaotic scene, he couldn't help but break his heart.To set up a fart base, there is no Taohuayuan in the doomsday, one counts as one, and everyone is a desperado.

**

He Chen and Xiang Jiajun saw the crowd outside the base from a distance.

They had only been out for less than a day, and the base had been destroyed.

He Chen parked the car 30 meters away, and immediately saw Ms. Xu and Chen Xuan at the edge of the crowd.He unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Lock the door, and drive away if something goes wrong."

Before waiting for a response, she turned her head and found that Xiang Jiajun was looking at herself speechlessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? If I had the heart to drive away, I would have run away in City A. Maybe it's already gone by now. A vegetable field has been planted in the mountains.”

He didn't expect the young man to say so many words to himself in one breath, and he was relieved when he regained the familiar feeling.Xiang Jiajun, who was still quarreling, was more angry, and the quarrelsome puppy came back again.

Even He Chen felt a little relieved, leaned over and helped the young man pull down the hood.

"I don't believe you can grow vegetables alive." He straightened up, opened the car door, and said back, "Wait for me to come back."

After speaking, I got out of the car.

With sharp eyes, Chen Xuan saw him and waved to him.He Chen looked at the two of them, but found no scars, and finally felt relieved.But facing his mother's overly calm gaze, he felt that every step was suffering.

He didn't bring his dad back.

When he got closer, Xu Feng had already squeezed out a little smile, "It's good to be back, isn't it hurt?"

Seeing this smile, He Chen's eyes turned sore.His parents have always been very loving, for decades.

He sorted out his emotions, maintained his composure, and replied, "I'm fine, Xiang Jiayun is injured."

"What's going on?" Not only Xu Feng was concerned, but even Chen Xuan was a little surprised.

"I'll discuss this matter with you later," He Chen pressed Jiayun's button in advance, and asked, "Is the fire serious?"

Chen Xuan took the call and answered him: "There is nothing to put out the fire, and the rain stopped just before the fire caught on. Right now, everything that can be ignited has been burned up, and there is nothing to burn."

"A natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"

"Man-made disaster. Look over there, you're mad." Chen Xuan pointed to Zhuang Fan who was still counting supplies not far away.

This sudden accident was within He Chen's expectation.This so-called base is actually not even a temporary shelter, and there are villains inside, so it cannot be maintained for a long time.

He originally planned to leave with his family, friends and Xiang Jiajun, it doesn't matter if he catches fire or not, but now he has to split into two groups.

He Chen glanced at the crowd around him, "Why don't these people leave?"

"Waiting for the distribution of supplies, we have to make a fuss later." Xu Feng sighed, "Since you and Xiao Xiang are back, let's leave as soon as possible."

Chen Xuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go and drive the car first."

The mother and son waited in place.The surrounding crowd became more and more noisy, even though there were scattered zombie corpses lying not far away, the noise still never stopped.

He Chen turned his head and took a look, Xiang Jiajun sat obediently in the car, caught his gaze, and waved at him.

I'm quite obedient today.

Suddenly, a moderate voice came from the noise of the crowd behind him.

"Hey, let me tell you, you have so many supplies hidden, did you also steal them from the base?"

It took He Chen a moment to realize that this person was talking to him. He turned around, looked down, and found that it was the middle-aged man in the bed next to them.

Seeing that he was talking to him, the man repeated what he had just said in a louder voice.

Before the words were finished, the people around all turned their eyes to He Chen, in a ridiculous order.

A small piece of silence spread like a wave, but in an instant, most people stopped talking and looked at the source of the silence.

He Chen suddenly became the focus of attention.

Xiaoyun in the car: What happened, rwkkrwkk!
