Apocalypse Mutants Rise

Chapter 369 Next Year Today
Xiao Qiang murmured, eyes closed, as if talking in sleep.

Just these are enough for people to hear clearly...

When the voice fell, Yao Yan was taken aback for a moment, and even froze for a second.His eyes trembled immediately, and his heart inexplicably tightened.

And Xiao Qiang continued to murmur in his mouth:

"Don't go, Liu Qian, don't go..."

Yao Yan's expression calmed down, her original heartbeat also subsided, but she still had a smile on her face, she looked at Xiao Qiang:

"I'm not Liu Qian, but do you miss her very much?"

"Don't go, stay..." Xiao Qiang was still muttering, seemingly not hearing Yao Yan's words at all.

And Yao Yan suddenly didn't know what to say.It just feels as if, only to return to reality in an instant, to return to myself.

She took off the wrist that Xiao Qiang was holding onto her, then carefully placed him on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered him with the quilt...

On the top of the building, Zhong Yi continued to drink whiskey, but he had already drunk most of the bottle.His head was also in a trance, and his eyes scanned the following. These neon lights seemed to reflect more romance.The scene before the end of the world after a long absence is used as the background, and you can have a few drinks with peace of mind without worrying too much about it.And at this moment... I really don't know what to do.

Zhong Yi took out something from his pocket, held it tightly in his hand, raised it up to his eyes, and looked at it tremblingly.

It's a necklace with a ring on it.And this ring was the one I used when I proposed to Yao Yan many years ago, but she didn't give an answer at that time.Later, when the apocalypse broke out, and they met after a few years, she shot herself with a desert eagle.And this ring was something she couldn't let go of, probably because of guilt.Only now, it returned to itself and gave the answer.

……

an hour ago:

"Hey, boy, where are you going?" Xiao Dong shouted.

On the opposite side is the back of Xiao Qiang waving his hands and walking away:

"I just got here, I haven't had a chance to go shopping yet, let's take a look around first~"

After speaking, Xiao Qiang gradually disappeared among the crowd.

Yao Yan also escaped because of this, otherwise the atmosphere would be forced to continue, Xiao Dong and these booers must have made them the center of ridicule.

Immediately, he also turned around and walked aside, and returned to the bridge with the stream flowing below.

Zhong Yi stood aside and kept silent all the time. He has been alone for so long, and now he has forgotten how to speak to people, especially the more he cares about people, the less he can speak.

The expression on his face is also used to a stern look, which has become the iconic Zhong Yi now.

"It's been so long since the end of the world, how did you come here alone? You must have experienced a lot." Yao Yan asked breaking the silence.It seems that only now has the opportunity to ask the vibes about this.

"I... have always been like this. I'm fine. It's fine." Zhong Yi replied, as if he didn't know how to organize his words. It took a long time to get used to it.”

"Are you really looking for me when you come here?" Yao Yan asked.

This question seems to be a bloody one, and it seems that it should be asked from the beginning, but there has always been an atmosphere to say this, and only now.

Zhong Yi's eyes were confused for a while, and he also seemed to be entangled. He paused, took a deep breath, and nodded without evading:
"Yes, I... have been looking for you all this time."

Although she had thought about it at first, when she confirmed the result, Yao Yan was still taken aback, and looked at Zhong Yi with a disturbed expression:

"After so long, you still haven't let me go?"

"Maybe it's because I can't think of anyone else." Zhong Yi breathed out again, looking at the stream flowing under the bridge, "When you were on the city wall, you told me not to leave, and you wanted to tell me something, say yes As a result, what is that?"

Yao Yan was silent for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Okay, I will feel guilty too, but I have to tell you. It's been so long, I have to give you an answer..."

Zhong Yi nodded, then turned around, looking at Yao Yan as if he had made all the preparations and was still a little nervous.

"This has been on my side for a long time..."

Saying that, Yao Yan took out a necklace with a ring on it from her pocket, and handed it to Zhong Yi:

"I think it's time to give it back to you."

Zhong Yi recognized the ring at a glance, immediately held it tightly in his hand, nodded, and took a deep breath:
"So now, have you met someone you really like?"

Yao Yan paused: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Is it the one named Xiao Qiang?" Zhong Yi asked.

"As I said, he and I are just friends in the same team," Yao Yan said.

"You haven't really been with anyone until the end of the world, but now, I have seen your changes." Zhong Yi said.

"Everyone changes, over time."

The neon lights are already on, and the lights are reflected in the stream below. There are people coming and going, tables, etc. are also arranged.Unknowingly, the sky has become very dark.

Zhong Yi took a deep breath, then turned to look at the building:

"Go, he may be waiting for you."

"What are you talking about, I..."

"You don't need to explain anything, you actually want to go to the past, right?" Zhong Yi said, and also squeezed out a smile, "I also want to calm down. I don't know the future, but I still have memories."

……

"Whoo~~~"

"Huh, huh, huh~~"

After drinking another half glass of whiskey, his eyes were already in a trance.

Zhong Yi tightly held the ring necklace in his hand, looked at the neon signs and figures below, and then put the necklace back in his pocket.

An answer, from the beginning to now, has been separated by several years.

But now when I see Yao Yan, I seem to feel that those things are no longer important.At least for this world, in this last days, apart from her, no one else should cherish her.The memory is indeed always there, but now, it will make people feel more nostalgic, but it is hard to recall the mood and feelings at that time...

It seems that the self from many years ago, like a world away, is already very strange, but also familiar and kind.When I think about it, the self at that time will be inexplicably moved until now, will I be sad?What are you sad about?
Inside the building, Yao Yan had already walked out of Xiao Qiang's room, closed the door, leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried her best to sort out her thoughts.

But this inexplicable sadness has never been able to find the source.The silence in the corridor will always make the moment when the eyes are closed, all flashes are his images...

However, nothing can be changed.Perhaps people are most powerless only when they face their emotions.

It's just that I can meet you in the moment of my life, as if I have spent all my luck...

What will I be next year today?
