269 You Can’t Be a Deserter
Guan Sheng reached out to grab her arms and secretly exerted some strength. “Zhixing, in your life, other than hatred, there should be something else worth looking forward to. If your sister in the netherworld knows about this, she definitely won’t want you to look for her so early. Everyone is trying to survive in this situation, but you want to be a deserter? Don’t you want to see what our new home will look like after the disaster?”
Hearing Guan Sheng’s words, Xia Zhixing’s originally unfocused eyes gradually regained their former luster. “Captain Guan, you’re right. I don’t have the right to be a deserter. I want to live on for her.”
Du Yue and He Xing were still hiding in the dark. The two of them were like statues, not even daring to breathe. Du Yue watched as Xia Zhixing, Guan Sheng, and the others walked farther and farther away until their figures completely disappeared into the darkness. Then, Du Yue put her gun back into her interspace and turned to He Xing. “Let’s go too!”
He Xing kept his gun in his interspace. “Alright, let’s go.” The two of them turned around and left, but they did not have a destination.
Du Yue was the one who had shot the celestial lord in the back of his head. The two of them were not in a hurry to leave after firing the shot. Du Yue had originally planned to check on the celestial lord’s body after Xia Zhixing left. Perhaps she could find something useful on him. After all, the previous contractor of the underground city had brought a box of robots with him. This celestial lord, who also came from the interstellar, probably had some good things from the interstellar.
Unfortunately, before Xia Zhixing could leave, Guan Sheng’s group arrived. They even brought the corpse of the celestial lord back to report on their mission. Although it was a little regretful, it was not a big deal. With the death of the celestial lord, those who relied on him would not have a good end, and the matter would definitely be settled. Now, they could only hope that after what had happened, the second base would not cause too much trouble after they moved.
However, Du Yue also knew that the sudden death of the celestial lord would definitely cause quite a commotion in the base. However, she should not worry about these things. The two of them walked side by side in the thick fog, each holding a strong flashlight in their hands to illuminate the road under their feet. After the tsunami, there were many obstacles on the road. If one was not careful, it was easy to fall.
After nightfall, the inner city was very quiet. Except for the sound of the wind, there was no other movement. Walking on such a lonely night, people would even have an illusion that they were the only ones left in this world. However, just as soon as this thought came to her mind, Du Yue immediately turned to look at He Xing.
No way! He Xing would be by her side forever! She would never be alone again! He Xing was walking normally when he suddenly noticed someone looking at him. He turned to look at Du Yue. He Xing smiled at Du Yue when he saw her affectionate eyes. “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”
“He Xing, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in both my past and present lives,” said Du Yue word by word.
It was very strange. In her previous life, she had clearly walked through it all alone. However, Du Yue did not dare to imagine what would have happened if she had not met He Xing. How was she going to survive in this post-apocalyptic world? She was very grateful that God sent He Xing to her side. He was gentle and considerate, and he understood her and doted on her. He was her only armor and weakness in this cruel world.
He Xing was not surprised by Du Yue’s words at all. Instead, he nodded seriously. “You’re right. You’re really lucky.”
Du Yue was used to He Xing’s personality, so she was not surprised to hear his reply. She changed the subject immediately. “Where are we going now?”
He Xing thought for a while. “Why don’t we go and look for our car first?” Du Yue nodded. This was not a bad suggestion. He Xing’s car had a good performance and could cross mountains and ridges. It also had a large storage space. Moreover, He Xing had specially modified it to fit the current situation. It would be a pity to lose it just like that.
However, after the tsunami, it was not easy to find a car again, so this matter could not be rushed. After walking for a while, the two of them decided to find a place to rest. In front of them was a two-story building that had been washed away by the waves. The second floor had completely collapsed, and the first floor was not in a good state. After Du Yue and He Xing found a wall that had not collapsed, they sat down and leaned against it.
