Chapter 34 Departure
"My parents can't help you when you are away from home. You must be careful and pay attention to your safety. If it doesn't work, come back. It's good for our family to live here like this." Mother Jiang's voice was choked with sobs. She couldn't bear it. What if your children are in danger?She wanted to follow, but she was more aware that she was a burden to them.

Father Jiang sat aside and smoked silently. He was not very good at expressing himself. Before the end of the world, he had a company, money, ability, and connections. He could help with his children's affairs. But now in this end of the world, he just For an ordinary middle-aged and elderly person without much ability, this gap was infinitely magnified at this moment, making him feel extremely depressed.

Jiang Mi hugged his mother. Although his eyes were red, he still smiled and said: "Mom, it's okay. Just treat it as my brother and I going on a trip. We will be back soon."

"We will definitely come back in about a month, and then our family can fight side by side." Jiang Xun also comforted him.

Mother Jiang smiled and wiped her tears and said no more. She said too much. She was also afraid that her son and daughter would wander outside, and she had to worry about them both.

The family got along well into the night that night. During the chat, they couldn't help but recall the past. The interesting things about Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun's childhood were also teased. Compared with the present, they had to lament that time is like a butcher's knife.

Early the next morning, the two of them packed up and left the air-raid shelter quietly without saying goodbye to their parents.

After the two left, Jiang's mother came out of the bedroom. The hand covering her mouth trembled and she put it down. Tears burst out instantly. Jiang's father patted her back with red eyes. He stared blankly at the direction in which the two disappeared. After a long time, he sighed silently. Take a breath.

……

Leaving the air-raid shelter, the two of them headed straight for the dead city.

Jiang Xun wore a light combat uniform inside and a coat outside. His long hair was tied into a braid on the back of his head. Around his neck was a dark gray scarf knitted by Jiang Mu for him. At his feet was a pair of combat boots. Compared with the gentle and elegant man who wore a suit before, he is particularly tough and handsome now.

Beside him, Jiang Mi, who was wearing a huge plush hat, a breathing filter on his face, and a black combat uniform, looked at his brother with resentment.

It's great after you advance. You don't have to worry about radiation pollution in the air. Unlike her, she has to wear this ugly breathing filter.

It was mid-November, and the waist-high snow showed no sign of melting. Jiang Xun stepped on his long legs and disappeared immediately, and Jiang Mi could only follow him and step on him. She had to cross the road, otherwise she would be buried directly in the snow.

Accompanied by the crunching sound of snow, the two of them walked forward one step at a time. As far as they could see, the whole world was gray.

Without transportation, we have to rely on Route 11.

There may be hidden dangers under the thick snow, so the two of them did not dare to walk too fast. They remained vigilant and followed the route in their memory.

It took more than an hour to get out of the mountain range where the air raid shelter is located.

"At this rate, we probably won't be able to enter the city before night." Jiang Mi exhaled and turned around to take a look at the winding snowy road that the two of them walked on when they came here.

"The snow is too thick, and it has even condensed into ice in some places." Jiang Xun frowned and glanced around.

"If there is such thick snow on the way to the Southwest Second Survivor Base, ordinary transportation will not be usable at all. It would be best to have a helicopter." Jiang Mi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, quickly searching for where to go in his mind. There are helicopters available.

"Haicheng Tower!"

The two said these four words almost at the same time.

Haicheng Building is the tallest building in the city. There is an apron on the top floor of the building, which is specially used to pick up and drop off the boss of Haicheng Building.

"So, brother, can you fly a helicopter?" Jiang Mi asked with some uncertainty.Jiang Xun glanced at her and said, "Yes."

Jiang Mi immediately pointed to the tallest building in the city, "Let's go!"

Taking a helicopter is now the best solution, I just hope the helicopter is still on the roof.

By the time the two of them reached the city, the sun had already set and was about to set. However, they were still more than ten kilometers away from the Haicheng Tower in the center of the city.

Jiang Mi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Find a place to spend the night."

Jiang Xun nodded and glanced around. At this time, the two of them were at the very edge of the city. The surrounding buildings were very sparse, the streets were wide, and the old four-story buildings and newly built high-rise buildings were intertwined. It was a bit like urban and rural areas. combination.

I randomly found a building with the unit door wide open and walked in. Although there was no snow inside the building, there was a thick layer of ice.

Even the tactical boots are a little slippery when you step on them.

It was very dark in the corridor. Each of them held a flashlight and looked up and down. The handrails of the stairs had been corroded by sea water, and a layer of rust appeared like a puff pastry. The cement walls were also covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

This is a six-story old unit building with two units on one staircase. The doors of the residents on the first floor are wide open. When shining a flashlight in, you can see scattered furniture and mud on the floor.

Jiang Mi withdrew his gaze and continued to walk up. The situation on the second floor was similar to that on the first floor, except that the inner door on the left was not opened. Instead, it was tightly closed. Jiang Mi had no desire to explore, so the two of them continued to go up.

Jiang Mi was not worried that there would be survivors in this building. According to the height of the submergence when the final tsunami hit, no one in this six-story building could survive.

And among those closed doors, there may be heads of households who unfortunately failed to escape and were drowned alive.

When he reached the sixth floor, the doors of the two houses were also wide open. Jiang Xun turned around and walked into the house on the left, followed closely by Jiang Mi.

Stepping into the house cautiously, Jiang Mi held a flashlight in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, looking around the house vigilantly.

At this stage, sea monsters are rampant, and it is very likely that there are some sea monsters lurking in old residential buildings like this.

The house with two bedrooms and one living room was not big. He checked it out in a few minutes and found no danger. Jiang Mi put away his fighting posture and became more casual.

"The windows are all broken. There's no way to spend the night here." Jiang Mi shook his head, turned and walked towards the house opposite.

The temperature has now dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and the cold wind has begun to howl outside. It is really not wise to spend the night in such a windowless house.

After careful inspection again, Jiang Mi discovered that the family had actually sealed one of the rooms with a brick wall. There was an offering table in the sealed room, but the photo of the deceased on the offering table had already merged with the one on the ground. The sludge was mixed together.

"It's okay here." Jiang Mi looked around. This room was very empty. Basically, apart from the altar table, there was only a copper basin for burning paper money and a futon.
