11

More than a month ago, on the day of the outbreak of the apocalypse.

C City, Department Store.

"Mom, yes, yes, I'm listening. Yes, find someone with big breasts … F * ck, why are you comparing yourself to Fatty Tang? His breasts are like cows. Won't you be upset if you marry him?" While pushing the cart, Bao Zi took out a card from her wallet. She held the phone on her shoulder and smiled apologetically at her mother as if no one else was around. "Sure, I'll definitely go and meet him this time. Sure, I can even meet him once a month! Mom, can you unfreeze my card now? "

"Hand over your wife and your card, or else there's no discussion!"

"Hello, mom, wait for — mom?"

The busy tone made Bao Zi curse in annoyance. She took out a pile of luxury goods worth more than a hundred yuan from the cart and waited for the cashier to finish scanning them out of habit before calling out, "I don't want any of those. Pack up the rest for me."

The cashier glanced at the only box of drinking water and instant noodles left in the cart and secretly cursed.

Under the gaze of the cashier, Bao Zi carried the "valuables" into the elevator and went straight down to the parking lot on the second floor of the basement.

After getting out of the elevator, he found his car and put it in gear. But when he looked at it, he was running out of gas!

It was a pity that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to pay for the oil on his watch.

Cursing his bad luck, Bao Zi called his aunt for help.

But who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth to ask for money, his aunt, the mistress of the Tang family, would tell him with a smile, "Little bun, your mother is right beside me. You can talk to her about this."

"Don't, auntie —"

"Bao Zi, get back here for the blind date! You have no wife and no money! "

"… Mom??"

Bao Zi, who was hung up on again, was sullen. He was so angry that he wanted to throw the phone, but then he heard a loud bang above his head!

The ground shook violently, and the lights in the underground parking lot burst!

Bao Zi instinctively held his head in his seat and screamed. When he looked up again, he could only hear the panicked crowd screaming in the parking lot.

"Earthquake?!"

"Go, get out of here!"

"The entrances and exits are blocked!"

"The elevator is broken!"

"Call the police!"

"There's no signal on our phones. We're dead. We're dead …"

Bao Zi took out his phone. Sure enough, he couldn't dial the number no matter how hard he tried. He had never experienced such a terrible thing before. He screamed in horror, "Mom, I was wrong! Aunt, save me! "

*

After being trapped in the underground parking lot for more than a month, Bao Zi was finally rescued. With a sour nose, Bao Zi ran madly into his cousin's broad and majestic arms.

But unexpectedly — —

"Fatty Tang, which plastic surgery clinic did you find?!"

Bao Zi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Although the person in front of him was still not tall, his figure was well-proportioned and thin. His delicate face was so beautiful that it made people flinch and not dare to approach him.

This … this was his 150x3 Fatty Tang cousin?! How could this be? Was there a mistake?!

Gou Liang nodded and said the original owner's catchphrase, "I'm afraid you won't be able to understand this matter with your IQ."

"F * ck!"

Bao Zi shouted.

Hearing this soft voice and hearing this tone, Bao Zi swore that there would never be a second person who could say such hateful words in his life.

He suddenly hugged Gou Liang and cried out loud, "You really are my brother! There won't be a second person in this world who is so hateful! How did you become like this? Wait, don't tell me about this first. Let me cry for a while … Fatty Tang, my dear brother, I almost died in this damned place … Thank goodness you still thought of coming to save me. Brother, I've never realized that I love you so much … "

Bao Zi was a chatterbox. This month had really driven him crazy.

"Don't cry, it's unpleasant to hear."

"Damn you!"

Bao Zi cursed, but he finally managed to control his emotions.

He was used to quarreling with the original owner since he was young. Now that he said a few words, he felt comfortable all over. The heavy haze in his heart finally dispersed and the panic in his heart calmed down a lot.

"How did you become like this after not seeing you for a month? … Forget it, tell me the plastic surgery address later. Why are you here? Where's my mom? Aunt and uncle? "

Bao Zi asked.

Gou Liang opened his mouth, hesitating for a moment.

In the end, Gou Liang didn't explain the matter to him. He just touched his head and said, "You ask too many questions."

"Why are you looking at me like that …"

Gou Liang let him eat. Bao Zi didn't care about this problem anymore.

He sat down at the table and didn't forget to greet the other five survivors. He couldn't help but look at Gou Liang. Obviously, he still couldn't believe it.

He and the original owner grew up together.

Bao Zi's father passed away when he was very young. Mrs. Tang and her sister were very close. She often helped her sister, so the two families were very close.

The original owner showed a difference in IQ from his peers. Bao Zi didn't like him. He was crushed by the original owner's IQ and always made fun of him for being fat.

The two brothers were proficient at scolding others and exposing their shortcomings. But as they bickered, their relationship was pretty good.

Later, the original owner became the chief engineer of the Tang family. Except for his parents, he didn't see anyone else.

The two cousins only saw each other during festivals. Although they still had feelings for each other, they didn't know much about each other's lives.

However, no matter how distant they were, it was impossible for them to accept Gou Liang's change without suspicion. At that time, Gou Liang was worried that Shi Buyu and Yu Lin and Zhou Gao knew too much about the original owner. Therefore, he didn't show too many flaws in his personality. However, the change in appearance alone wasn't easy to accept, so Gou Liang had to find another way.

If Bao Zi had heard of the original owner's "great change in appearance" before he met her, then no matter how surprised he was, he wouldn't be so extreme as to think that she wasn't the original owner the moment they met.

The breakthrough was Yu Lin and Zhou Gao.

As the bodyguards of Shi Buyu's father and brother, they were no strangers to the Tang family and Jia Family in A City. They must have met each other on many occasions.

Bao Zi worked for the Tang family. Father Tang liked this nephew very much and often took him with him. Even if Yu Lin didn't remember his appearance, he had heard of his name.

It was perfect for them to make this move.

However, Zhou Gao had a hot temper and wasn't good at rescuing and comforting people directly. Yu Lin was the opposite. Therefore, after learning that Bao Zi was one of the survivors, Gou Liang brought up the topic of Yu Lin's "friends with benefits" on the way to C City. He hypnotized him while he was still emotional and instilled in him the appearance of Bao Zi and the psychological hint that he should mention himself.

Yu Lin lived up to his expectations.

At this time, Bao Zi stared at Gou Liang and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said, "Fatty Tang, I found that you look a lot like my mother and aunt! Especially the pair of peach blossom eyes that have been passed down in the Su family. Tsk tsk, how come I didn't inherit it and instead let you surpass me? But it's good that you don't look like my uncle's family! Haha, I said that our Su family has good genes. My uncle didn't lose anything by marrying my aunt. "

Bao Zi, who had always been simple-minded, quickly accepted the fact that Gou Liang's appearance had changed greatly. Although he was still not used to it, this feeling of love and hate was no one else other than Fatty Tang.

Moreover, what he had experienced these days was far more incredible and shocking than Gou Liang's "successful plastic surgery".

Gou Liang didn't answer him and gave him a bowl of soup.

After drinking it, Bao Zi felt that he was alive again.

When Shi Buyu saw that the two brothers were almost done talking, he opened his mouth and asked about their experience after the apocalypse.

Bao Zi was full of sighs. Thinking about what happened two days ago, he didn't want to brag anymore and started to talk with a heavy face.

He and the other five female survivors were able to survive by luck.

When the apocalypse happened, they all thought that there was an earthquake.

At that time, the ground shook violently. They all felt that the 18-story shopping mall above their heads had collapsed and the entrance to the parking lot was immediately blocked.

Fortunately, the underground parking lot of this shopping mall wasn't built with tofu dregs. In any case, it gave them shelter. Moreover, they had just finished shopping and were able to make do with food and drinks.

After the initial panic, they waited for a few days but didn't see any rescue. They could only give up and start to save themselves.

Everyone worked together and finally dug out a small exit after being trapped for a month.

This happened three days ago.

At that time, it was agreed that the elderly, children, and women should go first. Bao Zi was at the back of the line. But people's hearts were fickle. Everyone wanted to be the first to go out, so the order was quickly disrupted.

The five female survivors were pushed away by the men who were desperately trying to get into the hole. Bao Zi saw that their injuries were not light. If he left them alone, they might not be able to climb out, so he stayed to help.

He kept shouting outside, hoping that those who had already gone out would lend a helping hand. Who would have thought that no one would answer.

"I was so angry at that time!"

Bao Zi said vaguely while stuffing food into his mouth. "You tell me, we have been through thick and thin together for so long. How could they be so inhumane? I told them that I was going out to call for help. Fortunately, they were scared and wouldn't let me go. Otherwise, I would have been swallowed alive by the monster! "

He still had some lingering fear as he spoke. He rubbed his small heart and drank a mouthful of soup before continuing.

They were trapped in the second floor of the basement. There was only enough space for one person to crawl through, so it was difficult for them to pass through.

But Bao Zi was very thin, so it was easy for him to move around. The five women were afraid that he would run away like those heartless men, so they tied a rope to his leg and pulled it to the car before letting him get into the hole.

Bao Zi was actually very reluctant, but he was glad when he thought about it.

"At that time, I ran out two or three meters. Suddenly, something hot and slippery reached in. I thought it was the rope that those people sent in, so I grabbed it happily. Then I shouted outside, don't pull me, wait until I go back and release my leg. Let the girls go first … "

But no matter how he shouted, the person controlling the rope didn't listen and insisted on pulling him outside.

When Bao Zi moved, the girls also drove the car to pull him back. It was so painful that he was almost torn apart by five horses!

Bao Zi screamed in pain, but neither side could hear him. He could only throw away the flashlight in his hand and cut the rope with the fruit knife on his belt. He didn't have any experience, so he didn't cut the rope. Instead, he cut his hand first. He didn't know why, but the rope that was tied to his other hand suddenly "broke", and it let out a very terrifying cry!

When Bao Zi heard that sound, he instinctively felt his scalp go numb. He took out the flashlight and looked —

How was that a rope?!

Who knew what kind of tongue that was! It was alive!

"I was so scared that I almost peed my pants! I kept screaming until they realized that I wasn't trying to crawl forward anymore. They stepped on the gas pedal and pulled me back! "

Bao Zi wiped his sweat and said, "I just came back and the tongue caught up with me. You don't know how scary it was!"

The six of them were scared out of their wits. They were being chased by the tongue. The unluckiest thing was that he had a rope tied to his leg and neck. Luckily, the tongue caught up with him.

At the critical moment of life and death, he quickly cut the rope and ran. Only then did he not get crippled by the tongue — that f * cking thing was very strong. They all saw it with their own eyes. With a flick of its tongue, it directly sent a large number of cars in the parking lot flying!

If it weren't for the limited length of the tongue, they wouldn't have been able to eat them if they hid in the corner. Now, they were really done for!

After hiding from the tongue for two whole days, they stuck to the wall and didn't dare to move. Just as they were worried that they would either be killed by the tongue or die of hunger or thirst, the tongue suddenly ran away.

Just more than an hour ago!

Then, they heard a human voice, "Survivors, this is the Kyushu Base's search and rescue drone. Please respond if you hear this. Please respond if you hear this."

When they heard the voice, they were moved beyond words.

However, they were still afraid that the tongue would come back, so they still didn't dare to move a step. They could only desperately shout for help.

Fortunately, the voice soon responded, "Human vital signs detected. Report has been reported. Survivors, please try your best to stay calm. The rescue team will come to rescue as soon as possible."

Although every minute and second of waiting for rescue was incomparably long, the broadcast in the drone kept repeating. The strange tongue didn't appear again, which finally gave them infinite comfort and hope.

Sure enough, there was always a way out. They waited until Gou Liang and the others came to rescue them.

"Brother, it's great that you found me!"

Bao Zi said with tears in his eyes, "I'm really lucky to have survived this time. You don't know how scary that tongue was. What the hell was that thing?! Since when did China have such a terrifying creature?! "

It was really scary!

Bao Zi, who had always been exaggerating, wasn't exaggerating at all when he described the strange tongue. This was because his imagination and ability to express himself wasn't enough to describe the terror of strange beasts.

Gou Liang thought for a bit. He locked onto the suspicious target on the PDA and asked Bao Zi, "Is it this one?"

Bao Zi saw the picture and hugged Gou Liang tightly. He didn't dare to look at the screen again. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Yes, it's this damn thing! How come there's more than one? Brother, what the hell is this thing? What's going on? "

The other five female survivors also took a look and confirmed that it was this tongue.

Gou Liang then let them see the full picture.

"… You're lucky that you encountered this thing." Yu Lin looked at the strange beast and sighed. Then he said, "Isn't Bao Zi already captured by him? How …? "

That strange beast was called a "Lizard-Like Strange Beast". Its appearance was similar to a lizard. It was very long but not very big. It was fast but not very strong. It mainly relied on its tongue and tail to attack.

Fortunately, they dug a small hole and buried it deep. Otherwise, they would have become meat in the mouth of the strange beast.

Presumably, it wasn't that the others didn't want to go back to help, but that they fell into the mouth of the strange beast as soon as they went out. They didn't even have time to call out.

Gou Liang said, "My little brother has a fire physique."

Shi Buyu and the others finally understood. The Lizard-Like Strange Beast preferred water attribute things, but was afraid of fire. No wonder it didn't swallow Bao Zi in one bite. Instead, it was scared by his blood and retreated once.

It seemed that this guy was really lucky!

Bao Zi didn't understand what they were saying at all. But after filling his stomach a little, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He asked Gou Liang, "Fatty Tang, how about you guys? How are my mom and aunts? "

He had a deep uneasiness in his heart. Even after being trapped underground for more than a month, he wasn't as scared as when he was hiding from the "tongue".

Even though he was saved now, the fear of 'imminent disaster' in his heart still did not dissipate.

Gou Liang didn't know how to answer. He looked at Shi Buyu helplessly.

Shi Buyu held his hand and looked at Bao Zi, saying, "Since you guys have come in contact with the tongue, I think you should be mentally prepared for the situation outside."

Bao Zi's heart skipped a beat. He had already prepared himself for the worst, but when he heard that millions of strange beasts had occupied human lands, and that the end of the world had arrived, he and the other five survivors were stunned.

It was like they couldn't understand it at all, but they also had a feeling that their premonition had come true.

But the fear that arose spontaneously had already soaked into their hearts.

Bao Zi grabbed Gou Liang and asked in horror, "What about my mom? My aunt? Her, them? "

Gou Liang's eyes reddened. His mouth opened for a long time, but he still couldn't speak. In the end, he just nodded. Seeing that Bao Zi's face was blank and couldn't take the blow, he choked out, "They left in their dreams. They didn't suffer too much."

When Bao Zi heard his voice, it was like a switch had been triggered. He burst into tears.

The other five survivors quickly asked about the situation in C City. They wanted to know if their loved ones were still alive. When they learned that there were no survivors in this area other than them, they also burst into tears.

Gou Liang was at a loss. He didn't dare to move as Bao Zi hugged him. He didn't know how to comfort him.

Shi Buyu saw that he was being hugged too tightly and wanted to stop them. However, he looked at Bao Zi who was crying like a child and thought of how Gou Liang had cried uncontrollably in front of him back then, so he held back.

… … They really are a family.

He thought.

After a long time, Bao Zi finally calmed down a little.

After being trapped for so long, he had imagined what would happen to his mother if he died. But he didn't expect that in the end, he would be the one to bear all of this.

"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have run away. Isn't it just a blind date? Why would I run away … … "Bao Zi was full of regret. He hid from A City to C City to avoid the blind dates arranged by his mother. He didn't expect that this would be his final goodbye. "If only I stayed at home, I could die with my mom and the others … … Mom … …"

Gou Liang said, "Little aunt said that hiding is useless. She prepared more than thirty blind dates. She guaranteed that you won't meet the same person for a month. "

Bao Zi: "… …"

His mother must have lost her mind from anger. She didn't care about the results of the blind dates.

Thinking that their family's queen was already separated from him, Bao Zi couldn't help but cry again.

Shi Buyu then gave them a brief introduction about his abilities and Kyushu Base. When he heard Gou Liang say that he would awaken a rare fire ability, Bao Zi finally calmed down.

The world had changed.

When he held the beast core given by Shi Buyu in his hand and felt a strange energy, Bao Zi clearly felt this.

But when he was about to eat the beast core, Gou Liang stopped him.

Gou Liang said, "Tomorrow, people from Kyushu will come to pick you up. When you wake up, you will be in the base. Don't be afraid, I will ask them to take care of you. "

"What?"

Bao Zi suddenly forgot about the beast core and anxiously said, "Brother, aren't we going to stay together?"

Shi Buyu and the others were also a little surprised. Bao Zi was Gou Liang's only relative after all, and his awakened ability was a fire ability that wouldn't drag him down. They were already mentally prepared to accept him into the team.

Gou Liang shook his head, but didn't explain why he did this.

— — What a joke, the original owner didn't have the "skin thirst" disease. Moreover, he didn't like to have too much physical contact with people since he was a child.

If Bao Zi stayed with him, even if Gou Liang had the ability to justify himself, it would still be too tiring.

He didn't want to waste his energy on people who weren't his goal.

"Brother, don't joke like this!"

In his life, he called him brother most willingly and sincerely. When he spoke, he couldn't help but cry, "You're my only relative, you're the only one I have left! I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay with you! Brother, don't leave me behind, I'll have my own ability later, I can eat less and do more work. I won't be a burden to you guys … "

"You're not a burden."

Gou Liang interrupted him and continued without waiting for him to speak, "Kyushu Base is very safe, and they will give Shi Xiaoyu and me some face. It's okay if you're a little stupid. But we have a lot of things to do, and we can't wait for you to grow up, understand? "

"… Are you really my brother?"

Bao Zi burst into tears.

But no matter how much he resisted, he was still sent to Kyushu Base with the other survivors and the eggs of the locust-like exotic beasts in his sleep after taking the beast core.

Gou Liang raised his head and watched the rescue plane disappear into the horizon. He didn't look away for a long time.

Shi Buyu hugged him and comforted him in a low voice, "Don't worry, Lieutenant General Yao will take care of him."

Gou Liang nodded and said, "I'm not worried. I just suddenly remembered … I forgot to talk to him about the inappropriateness of the nickname 'Fatty Tang'. "

Shi Buyu smiled and kissed his dimple, "I'll remember for you. Next time we meet, we'll talk about this seriously."

"Okay."

Gou Liang let out a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face.
