When Yu Chenxi was three years old, Yu Heng moved with her once, leaving the underground residence where she had lived for three years. There is no way, the water level in the river is getting higher year by year, and there are several floods a year. The overall water level rises, causing the water level in the sewer to push up, and the water in the sewer pours back. No matter how strong the building materials are, they cannot withstand the water. long-term erosion.

The girl is much stronger than before, but she is still young and ignorant, and cannot adjust her emotions on her own. The heavy fog has obviously affected her. She loves to cry - because of environmental problems, her three uncles have coaxed her not to cry. , so she learned to sob silently, which was even more heartbreaking to watch. This problem cannot be solved now. We can only wait until she is older and then teach her slowly.

The new home is far away, and Yu Heng plans to find a higher ground to dig a new residence. He has kept the nearby terrain in mind. The three adults and their children began to move. Looking at the turbulent river in the heavy rain, Yu Heng also felt a little frightened. After walking for a long time, we arrived at our destination, the mine to the east of the base.

In recent years, outsiders have stopped using trackers to search for living people across the mountains and plains. The base is backed by a mine, which is also mined to provide materials for the construction of military facilities. The mountain is not far from the base. The reason why it was not included in the target of hiding place before is because it is very desolate. Even if the vegetation grows after the apocalypse, there will still be only a few grasses on the bald head. If you live there If so, not only would there be no cover for activities, but it would also be difficult to find food. Therefore, when Yu Heng planned to find a place to dig a hole, he did not consider that place.

There is no choice now. We have to survive this rainy season. It happens to be dawn now, so it is the best time to move.

Finally, when he finally arrived at the mine, he found that the surrounding area was in a mess, with discarded mineral materials piled on the ground and washed into puddles by the rain. His heart sank. If you look closer, you will see that all the equipment and machinery are there, and various traces indicate that it was still being mined not long ago.

"Could it be that people from the base are mining?"

"What the hell, we just passed by the base and there was no one inside!"

Yu Heng's heart sank: Could it be a foreigner?

"No, we can't stay here anymore. Let's keep going up." Looking at the mountains in the distance, he gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to hide in the mountains again. Mutated animals and plants are tyrannical and cannot go deep into the mountains, so they can take root at the foot of the mountains. "Let's fight while it's still daylight."

It had just turned completely dark before they managed to dig out a safe and solid hole. After that, the noise from the mine in the distance spread far away in the silence. They lived underground and heard it more clearly.

Zheng Dong looked at Yu Heng worriedly: "As soon as it gets dark, the mines over there will start working."

What else could it be?

Foreigners are discerning and have taken a fancy to the local minerals!

Yu Heng gave him a helpless look, lowered his head and coaxed the child: "Don't cry, be good, you are not afraid of tigers, uncle will fight you off, don't be afraid and stop crying."

Throughout the dark period, the movement in the mine continued. When it dawned again, Yu Heng and Zheng Dong Lancheng ran away again without saying a word, carrying their children on their backs. The mine is so close and outsiders are nearby, how can it be possible to live safely?

It was during this migration that I unexpectedly met Jiang Shujun again!

At that time, Jiang Shujun was fighting against mutated sweet potato vines, and Yu Heng and the others happened to drive by that field.

"That's the captain! Captain!" Zheng Dong's eyes lit up and he was so excited that he wanted to jump out of the car. Yu Heng followed his fingers and saw that the sweet potato vines were swaying very fast. There was indeed a person jumping up and down, left and right. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the person's face. Did Zheng Dong really recognize who that person was?

"Really! It's the captain!"

"Lancheng, stop the car."

Regardless of whether it is or not, just lend a hand if you can help. Yu Heng and Zheng Dong rushed over to help, and the sweet potato vines were thrown on the protective shield, making a crackling sound.

"Come in quickly!"

He asked the man to get under the protective shield, and then planned to retreat.

"No, let me dig out the sweet potatoes first. Half of them are already dug!"

The voice sounds really Jiang Shujun! Yu Heng said hurriedly: "We'll dig again later!" He turned around and threw a bucket of gasoline at the roots of the sweet potato vines. He shot it with good accuracy, and the fire ignited. After a while, all the sweet potato vines collapsed to the ground.

"Dig it."

The three of them quickly dug out the ripe sweet potato pieces, each carrying a large piece and rushed back to the car.

"Captain, why are you here alone?"

Jiang Shujun looked up in confusion, and then recognized the people in front of him: "Is that you?" He opened his eyes wide and looked left and right, scanning Lan Cheng, whom he didn't recognize, and Yu Chenxi, who was looking at him with eyes hanging in confusion, and finally Throwing away the sweet potato pieces, he reached out and hugged Yu Heng and Zheng Dong.

After reminiscing about old times, Jiang Shujun looked out the window and said hurriedly: "Stop, stop, it's too far from my home. Where are you going?"

"Captain, where do you live? I'll take you back."

"Oh, that's okay. Just in time to meet your brothers."

Jiang Shujun lives not far away, in a corner of the ravine. "It's convenient to get water. The ditch is narrow and the water is shallow. Usually, animals rarely come. If there are, they are only small ones, which are just enough to give us extra meals."

The cave was very damp, Jiang Shujun explained: “It was just dug and we haven’t had time to tidy it up yet.”

Only when we got inside did we realize what Jiang Shujun meant when he said there was no time. The cave was full of injured people.

Jiang Shujun sighed and asked Yu Heng: "Xiao Peng, do you have any medicine?"

have! Of course!

Yu Heng took out a batch of medicine and quickly treated the wounds of the seriously injured people. The injuries were very complicated, like poisoning, followed by trauma. During the treatment process, two people died. Jiang Shujun wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and forced a smile. : "It's okay to leave like this. It makes me feel bad to see them feel bad."

Yu Heng had an experience in treating toxins thrown by outsiders. Although it was different from what he had been hit with before, he could only prepare the medicine after careful study. Most of the medicines inside were collected by wandering in the wild over the years. Many of the mutated plants have changed their properties and even have medicinal effects.

After everything is settled, they will have time to reminisce about the past and talk about the past few years. After Zheng Dong finished talking about the situation between him and Yu Heng in a few words, he looked at Jiang Shujun eagerly: "Captain, are you having a hard time in the Nanheng Military Region? Why are you like this? Where is the electric shield Mr. Peng left for you?"

"Hey, don't be impatient, listen to me." Jiang Shujun still wanted to hear the experiences of Mr. Peng and Zheng Dong. It was obvious that Zheng Dong changed the subject impatiently. Knowing that the other party was concerned about him, he went along with what he said.

"I lived a good life in Nanheng. Then, like you, the military area was poisoned by mutants. I couldn't hold on anymore. The superiors asked me to escort people away...A lot of people gathered on the road...Three months ago we The settlement was discovered by outsiders and flooded Jinshan." He paused and continued, his tone obviously lowered, "I was chased by a mutated giant dog on the road, and then settled here, and what happened next is what you saw. The electric shield was lost a long time ago.”

Yu Heng asked: "Didn't I leave a storage ring for you?"

"I left it with Lao Bai. He led another group of people to Hiyama."

Talking about his future plans, Jiang Shujun said: "Tell me which place you want to go to and let me see if you recognize it. Oh, Xiao Cicada Forest, it's nice there, but there is a bear. I've seen it from a distance. That bear is awesome." They are loud and their screams are terrifying, so be careful to avoid them.”

"Captain, won't you come with us?"

Seeing Jiang Shujun shaking his head, Zheng Dong was extremely disappointed: "Why?"

"Er Dong, you understand." Jiang Shujun patted his shoulder with emotion and glanced behind him: "When their injuries improve, I will also separate them. Don't show such a look, we all have It is your own responsibility. Now you have children there, which is good. They are the hope of the future of the motherland. Take good care of her. "

Life is spent in constant reunions and partings, and I feel it even more deeply in this era.

After the patient's condition stabilized, Yu Heng and the others were ready to leave. It was unwise for so many people to gather together. He left a batch of supplies for Jiang Shujun, and the two high-fived and promised to meet in the future.

"Be alive."

"The same to you."

"Goodbye, uncle." Yu Chenxi waved her hand timidly and bid farewell to Jiang Shujun. Jiang Shujun burst into laughter: "Goodbye, and grow up healthily."

This time, the days for the sun to appear and rise as usual were longer than last time. Even if they waited for a while at Jiang Shujun's place and waited until they arrived at Xiao Cicada Forest to dig a hole, there was still plenty of time.

They had not encountered the bear Jiang Shujun was talking about, but it probably lived deep in the forest. Yu Chenxi was older this year, and he could help dig up the soil while sucking his nose, turning himself into a little mud monkey.

Migrating and hiding, five more years passed like this, fourteen years before and after, and the darkness finally came to an end.

After waiting for two full years without any outside visitors, Yu Heng finally dared to guess: "Are we safe?"

Two years! Two full years!

Lan Cheng said firmly: "That must be the case!"

"Let's go find the captain. He said he was already packing his things and planned to return to the Nanheng Military Region!" Zheng Dong put down the communicator in his hand and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.

Yu Chenxi also clapped her hands: "Let's go, let's go, I miss uncle too."

Infected by their emotions, Yu Heng smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's pack our things."

Reuniting with Jiang Shujun was not a simple matter. They... lived a bit far away. It could only be said that they were barely within the communication range of the communicator that Yu Heng fiddled with. It took a whole month to reunite with Jiang Shujun at the agreed place.

"Let's go, Hengdong, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"It's not troublesome. It's a waste if the car doesn't run." Yu Heng provided the car and started picking up people everywhere. It was winter when we arrived at the Nanheng Military Region. The base of the military region had initially come to life, and the troops scattered in various places were returning in all directions. Rush.

At the beginning of the fifteenth year of the end of the world, after the snow first melted, the Nanheng Military Region monitored the situation across the country through satellites, and found that the green space covering the country was shrinking! And this reduction is a reduction in the density of vegetation coverage. The dense forests that tower into the clouds and are impermeable to sunlight seem to have reached the peak of development. When they flourish, they must decline, so they begin to wither and dry up.

Towering trees suddenly fell to the ground, then rotted in the forest and rotted into the ground in the rain. Big trees decay, and fallen leaves accumulate all over the ground, returning the over-absorbed vitality to the earth. After many years, this land will become fertile again, and new shoots will sprout out of the soil.

The good news is not limited to this. Mutated animals have also begun to die in large numbers. The sound of giant beasts more than ten meters falling down is very shocking. A large group falling at the same time is comparable to an earthquake. At first, the leaders of the base were a little happy. After all, Who has been chased back and forth by these things over the years, who is still not angry? Damn it, it's so wonderful, it's just a good time to have a snack.

But they soon stopped being happy because there were too many dead mutant beasts. It was spring and the snow was melting. The air was moist and full of water vapor. The corpses rotted very quickly. The flowing snow water smelled foul. The flies were so capable of surviving that normal flies appeared and could fly everywhere just after the giant ancestors died.

Many elderly and weak survivors in the base were infected with the disease, so they had to take large-scale disinfection and sterilization measures, and then sent people out to incinerate the rotten corpses.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were bare, and there were several layers of densely packed corpses floating on the water. The most surprising thing was that Yu Heng found that he had grown taller.
