On the rooftop, there is another lively scene...
He Zhuo was showing off his "unique grilling skills," but the burnt chicken wings attracted Gu Qi's ruthless ridicule: "You grilled it with charcoal, didn't you?"
"What do you know!" He Zhuo said stubbornly, "This smells so good!"
Lu Xici and Sang Che were grilling meat and chatting about the fun things they had done in the past, bursting into laughter from time to time.
Sang Yan, Lu Nange and several other girls sat together, each with a gentle smile on their face.
Sang Che took a bite of the juicy barbecue and asked, "What kind of life did we have before?"
Sang Yan nodded gently, looking at the lights on the base's wall in the distance. "If before I felt happy just seeing everyone else alive, now... it's just that being alive is truly wonderful!"
Lu Xici raised his glass and said, "The atmosphere has been set so high, cheers?"
"Cheers!" everyone responded in unison: "Cheers to the present!"
......
It was late at night, and the embers of the barbecue flickered in the evening breeze, like the sparse stars in the sky.
The laughter and joy gradually faded away, and Chi Yanzhou and his group went home, leaving the space to the three siblings of the Lu family who had just reunited and Sang Xu and his two companions.
On the rooftop of the Lu family villa, six folding chairs were placed in a circle.
The night breeze blew gently, carrying the fresh scent of flowers and plants.
The distant watchtower is lit with warm lights, like a loyal watchman in the darkness...
Sang Yan held the cold milk tea in her hand, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the wall of the cup.
She gazed at the twinkling lights in the base and muttered softly, as if she were talking to herself: "I feel like today is a dream. Everything is so beautiful that it seems unreal."
Sang Che stretched out his arm, his tone still dazed: "Pinch me!"
Sang Yan pinched her hard, and Sang Che immediately pulled his hand back with a grimace: "It hurts... It really isn't a dream."
He rubbed his red arm and said, "It's so beautiful. I feel like I've been in a trance all day."
Sang Xu looked at the orderly lights in the base and said, "This is not a dream. From day one, this has been our home."
Lu Nange patted the empty chair beside him and said, "Uncle, Brother Che, Sister Yan... Stop standing, come and sit."
The three of them sat down as instructed.
Lu Xici: "Uncle, how did you get to Longteng? And my grandmother, uncle, aunt, etc..."
This question made the air suddenly quiet, with only the evening breeze still blowing gently.
Sang Xu's fingers gripping the water cup tightened slightly.
"After the tsunami began, the military organized rescue and evacuation operations everywhere. Isolation zones were set up in various areas, and my family was one of the first survivors to be rescued and placed under military protection."
He paused, his eyes darkening. "But the situation is getting worse. Water and electricity are out, the zombies are increasing in number, and quarantine zones are falling one after another. The blockades are constantly expanding, and we're like birds trapped in a cage, watching our living space shrink.
There was a severe shortage of supplies and order began to break down.
The quarantine area was constantly integrated and integrated, and we were constantly evacuating and evacuating.
Every time there is a transfer, someone is left behind along the way."
Sang Cheol: "The first to leave were my grandmother and grandma... Then my mom, who left to protect us during a transfer..."
Sang Che didn't say anything else, but everyone understood the pain behind those words.
Sang Yan's eyes were already red...
"In the end, only a few of us and your uncle were left at the current Longteng." Sang Xu continued.
"At first, Longteng was completely controlled by the military and relatively safe. But then, everyone began to awaken their special abilities...
There are both military and ordinary survivors among those with special abilities. With power comes ambition, and Longteng is in chaos.
Gradually, it evolved into a situation where various forces were balancing each other and fighting openly and secretly..."
