After visiting the three families, Uncle An met Xu Xuening after get off work. Uncle An was so excited that he almost cried.
"As long as you're safe, as long as you're safe." Uncle An kept saying these two sentences as he looked at Xue Ning standing in front of them in good health.
"Old An, Xue Ning wants to say something." Mother Xu looked at Uncle An hesitantly. She had decided to go with her daughter, but she wasn't sure if Old An would follow. After all, Xue Ning wasn't his daughter.
After Xu Xuening explained her purpose, Uncle An nodded without hesitation, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go! This shabby place is making me feel suffocated to death. I should have left long ago."
"Old An?" Mother Xu was a little surprised. She knew that Old An had always been grateful that they had arrived in Huacheng before the zombie outbreak, and that he was even more relieved to be able to stay in Huacheng after this disaster. She thought that Old An was even more reluctant to leave than she was.
"What's wrong?" Uncle An looked at Xu's mother. After years of living together, he immediately understood Xu's mother's worried expression. "What are you worried about?"
"I just... I'm just afraid that you don't want to leave here." Xu's mother said hesitantly.
"It's not a matter of willingness or unwillingness. Since it's Xue Ning who said it, I feel reassured." Uncle An comforted Xu's mother, "What are you afraid of? We're both half a century old now. At this point, living one more day is a blessing. Besides, since it's Xue Ning's decision, it's reliable. Have you forgotten that if it weren't for Xue Ning, we wouldn't be in this world anymore."
After hearing Lao An's comfort, Xu's mother's troubled heart finally relaxed a little.
…
The next morning, Ah Hai arrived at the door of Xu's house as expected. He was carrying an empty backpack, which seemed to have nothing in it.
His messy hair was still sticking up in a mess, and the dark blue color in his eye sockets was even darker. It seemed that he had hardly slept all night.
"Brother Ahai." Xu Xuening looked at Ahai's decadent appearance and felt a little sorry for him.
Ah Hai forced a smile, "A Ning, you look fine."
Xu Xuening nodded, "Well, I've been doing pretty well recently. I went through a lot when I came here from Lincheng."
"You... came from Lincheng?" Ah Hai was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xu Xuening actually walked all the way here from Lincheng.
"I thought Lincheng was deserted." Ah Hai thought of the outside world, the zombies, how terrifying. However, even more hateful than the zombies were the people. His mother and his children...
"Brother Ahai, if you want a new life, you can go out with me to have a look." Xu Xuening suggested as she looked at the decadent Ahai.
Ah Hai laughed bitterly, "I was planning to go with you guys anyway. Aning, I don't want to stay in this city for even a single day. The people here make me sick."
Xu Xuening understood what he was talking about.
Ah Hai continued, "Many times, I thought people would always get better in times of crisis. However, I was wrong. Humans don't get better when faced with danger; they get worse. They even rushed in and killed my mother and child for a piece of bread. Just for a piece of bread!"
Ah Hai knelt on the ground in pain, covering his face with his hands and crying bitterly.
"Brother Ahai," Xu Xuening quietly squatted down, stayed by his side, and silently watched him cry. She knew that Ahai was a person who loved life and had a great passion for the world. Those things that happened to him were indeed a blow to him.
When the world you believe in becomes crazy, you will be lost in this world.
...The second person to come was Lao Duan.
Carrying a large backpack, Lao Duan's expression was indeed completely opposite to Ah Hai's.
"Uncle Duan."
"Xiao Ning, where is your mother?" Old Duan showed a youthful smile, and his whole mental outlook seemed to have become many years younger.
"Inside. Uncle Duan, what are you doing..." Xu Xuening looked at Old Duan, who was carrying a large backpack. He seemed to have prepared everything early, just like Brother Hai. However, Brother Hai's state was more like he was going to die, while Uncle Duan seemed more positive and optimistic.
"Hehe," Old Duan patted his backpack, looked at Xu Xuening, and laughed. "Li Duofen and the others aren't coming. I told you she won't be coming to see you off," Old Duan said.
"Why, Ah Li isn't leaving with us?" Mother Xu came out of the house, looked at the two people at the door, and laughed, "It's like you two made an appointment."
"Xiao Xu, Li Duofen's family consists of five people. It's too risky to bring the children out. They are unwilling to take the risk." Old Duan spoke for Li Duofen.
"Oh, I know that." Mother Xu looked at Xu Xuening and nodded again, thinking that if she were Li Duofen, she would definitely make the same choice. After all, the risks of going out were too great, and even Xu Xuening was not sure.
"That's it for these people. Let's go." Lao Duan was even a little impatient to leave the city. He was fed up with this kind of life, the kind of life that was like a walking corpse, and the zombies outside.
What's the difference? Even less free than a zombie. Lao Duan thought that after he got out, he would have a cigarette and see who would come to rob him again.
In this city, his daily worry is how to protect the few cigarettes he has.
…
"Report!" A young soldier came in with a report and placed a document on Wang Haichuan's desk.
Wang Haichuan's desk was piled high with countless documents, each of which needed urgent attention. He was already completely overwhelmed with work.
