Establishing one's own base was considered as occupying the mountain and becoming the king in the past. But at this time, it was much more difficult than occupying the mountain and becoming the king.
Xie Yan's decision was quite difficult to implement, but no matter how difficult the task was, someone had to do it.
When Xu Xuening took her mother and Uncle An away from Huacheng, their decision shocked everyone around them.
"What are you doing?" The soldier guarding the city gate looked at the people in front of him and was stunned when he heard their words. He rubbed his ears, afraid that he had heard it wrongly.
"We plan to go to the Third Ring Road." Sun Jian looked at the people at the door and said.
"Wait a minute." The soldier guarding the city gate looked at the elderly, frail women behind Sun Jian and Sun Shou, suspecting that Sun Shou and Sun Jian had some ulterior motive. No one ever wanted to leave. Everyone outside was eager to get in.
"Were you 'forced' by them? Don't worry, tell me now, and I'll definitely execute them both." Special times call for special laws. The soldier guarding the city gate raised his gun and pointed it at Sun Jian. He believed Sun Jian must have some ulterior motive.
"No, brother, we really didn't force them."
"Big brother, that's not the case. We really plan to leave here. We have friends in the Third Ring Road, and it's not convenient for us to take care of the elderly living here. We just want to be together as a family in this apocalypse."
"Yes, young man, we are willing to go out with the children."
The soldier guarding the gate looked at the volunteers, young and old, and his doubts eased slightly. He understood that at this time, many people were indeed willing to stay together.
The time we spent together passed in the blink of an eye, and being able to be together at the last moment is already a luxury for many people.
Finally, the soldier waved his hand, and the gate opened. This time, instead of letting people in from the outside, a row of people walked out from the inside.
Those who were standing outside waiting for the opportunity to live in Huacheng were all surprised when they saw those who came out of the door.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. Was he kicked out?"
"Aren't they supposed to provide food and drink inside? How could they be kicked out?"
"Maybe they can't eat enough in there so they steal. Who knows? Anyway, I heard that as long as you behave yourself in there, you won't die. These people are definitely greedy. They deserve it!"
As they emerged from Huacheng, Xu's mother and Uncle An became increasingly confused by the appearance of the people outside. The people outside the city gates lived like beggars. Would their lives only get worse as they left? Worried, they looked ahead at Xu Xuening, then back toward the vast city. They wondered if this was the right move or not.
"It's okay, we have to believe Aning." Lao An saw his wife's uneasy look, he quietly held Xu's mother's hand and comforted her softly.
The uneasiness on Xu's mother's face was not relieved by Lao An's words. She frowned in worry as she looked at the people before her. In such a short period of time, the prosperity of the past seemed to have vanished like a dream. She couldn't believe it and was even more afraid that their decision was wrong.
"Old An, what if, what if Aning and the others' plan is wrong, will she..."
"It's okay. It won't happen." Lao An quickly stopped Xu's mother from worrying, "You have to trust Aning. It was Aning who asked us to come here in the first place."
"I know, I'm just scared." Mother Xu felt a little relieved when she thought of Aning's original decision.
"We have to believe in our children." Lao An held Xu's mother's hand and strode forward.
Following them were Lao Duan and Ah Hai. When they saw the people outside the city, they did not feel much excitement.
Old Duan, who was alone, felt that it didn't matter. Living anywhere was living, and living outside was freer. It was better than waiting to die alone in a place like a pigeon cage.
Ah Hai didn't have any thoughts. He just wanted to leave the city as soon as possible and get away from the shadow in his heart.
He didn't even turn his head.
…
"Boss, do you think Xu Xuening will come back?" Ning Hong asked worriedly. The Huacheng before her wasn't just some empty illusion; there were troops stationed there. Would those living in the Third Ring Road be willing to leave with them?
"Feng Nian and Zhu Li have decided to leave with us. Ning Hong, don't worry about these problems." Xie Yan looked at his subordinates and took out a map.
"Boss," Ning Hong looked at Xie Yan quietly looking at the map and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you worried that Xu Xuening would take those things away?"
The space the woman carried contained their most important supplies. If she had ulterior motives, she could rely on those things to survive anywhere. Was she willing to abandon her prosperous life and leave Hwaseong with them? Wasn't Hwaseong her goal?
"Times have changed, Ning Hong," Xie Yan said softly. He looked at the leaves across Huacheng, a riot of fresh green and bright yellow. A gust of wind blew, sending swirling leaves drifting down from the trees.
"Boss?" Ning Hong didn't understand what Xie Yan meant. Times had certainly changed, but weren't they discussing whether or not to let go of that woman, Xu Xuening? Could it be that the boss had truly been bewitched by Xu Xuening?
impossible!
Ning Hong immediately put this idea behind her. She didn't think Xie Yan would be interested in a woman with a child.
Speaking of children... She glanced at the little brat who was playing games beside Xie Yan, and the more she looked at him, the more she hated him.
