Chapter 1062 Reunion of Old Friends
Twelve years after the end of the world, Qin An has been searching for Weng Lan in the United States for almost ten years, and is basically frustrated.
In the past ten years, Qin An traveled all over the United States, so he met many people and had good interactions with some of them.
Robert was just sixteen years old when he met Qin An. He was a child who was born before the apocalypse but grew up in the apocalypse.
But Robert was a little lucky, because his parents and family were very capable. They established a small farm. The so-called farm was actually a small city with high and solid walls and the ability to supply food.
Qin An drank and walked on a rainy night, and finally fell asleep in front of the small farm.
Robert was the first to discover Qin An and immediately opened the farm gate and let Qin An in.
For this reason, Robert was severely scolded by his parents. At that time, they found that they seemed to have neglected their son's education. How could they trust strangers in the apocalypse?
Fortunately, Qin An was not a bad person. After observing him for a day or two, Robert's father defined Qin An as a down-and-out wanderer.
At that time, Robert was very unconvinced. He believed that he had saved other people's lives, but he was still criticized by his parents. This was not in line with his life values.
Therefore, Robert has always taken good care of Qin An, regardless of his parents' warnings. During the few days that Qin An got along with Robert, he basically received the treatment he had for him.
After that, Qin An left the farm without saying goodbye. This made Robert depressed for a long time. He didn't know why he left Qin An when he was so good to him.
Robert and even Qin An might have been kidnapped, but in the end his theory was rejected by all his family members. Who would kidnap a down-and-out homeless man? Qin An looked really depressed at that time because he couldn't find Weng Lan.
In short, this matter passed like this. In the next twenty-two years, Qin An had no contact with Robert again. Qin An started the journey of soul travel soon after, and the body was taken away from the United States by Zhang Geng. Robert His family's territory was robbed by bad guys in the fifteenth year of the apocalypse. In a gun battle, all his family members died tragically. Robert escaped alone and began his wandering career.
Five years ago, he entered the city of Detroit and met Acerola.
Robert liked Acerola's golden hair and sunny smile, while Acerola liked Robert's kindness and purity.
They quickly fell in love, and later Acerola was spotted by a gangster in Detroit who wanted to rape her. In desperation, Robert had no choice but to take Acerola and escape from Detroit into Canada, and finally entered the City of Wind and Bone.
In all Robert's life experiences, he has actually forgotten Qin An.
But Qin An will not forget Robert, because Qin An can remember everyone he has met.
"Who are you!"
Robert, who was pulled by Qin An, didn't look good, and one of his hands was still holding the ax tightly.
"I haven't seen you in twenty-two years. Your appearance has not changed much, but your figure has become much stronger."
"You knew me? Twenty-two years ago?"
"Yes, I stayed at your farm for a week at that time. You entertained me very warmly. Although your father didn't like me at the time, you still had a fierce quarrel with him. They asked me to stay at the farm. Later, I left without saying goodbye because I had something to do. It’s normal for you not to recognize me after not seeing each other for so many years.”
"you......?"
Robert finally calmed down and began to think about what happened twenty-two years ago.
It took about a minute for Robert to actually remember this past event and Qin An, an old friend.
"You...you said you were the homeless person I picked up at that time? How is that possible? Why are you still so young...but your photo..."
Robert felt that he had indeed seen Qin An's face. After continuing to think about it, his dusty memory finally became clearer and clearer.
Qin An took Robert's arm with a smile and led him back.
After sneaking into the city, Qin An naturally activated his ability to peer into the sky to collect information. This time he did it very seriously. He originally wanted to find out whether the insect ghost had arrived in the city, but unexpectedly he discovered that Robert, the young man we had been with.
The description of "young man" naturally refers to Robert's state back then. Now this guy has become a strong man with a height of almost 1.85 meters.
It's a pity that his life is a bit miserable, and his wife brought him green hair, and there were more than one or two.
Qin An has no purpose in going to the city anyway. He is just here to wait for the zombies to come. He can use Tang Jiudie's ability to control the movement of the zombies from a distance, and the zombies will become a flood after being aroused. Once it flows, it will not stop. will stop easily, so Qin An just needs to wait. When these zombies devour these cities, the Black Blood Army can only counterattack the zombies. This is Qin An's opportunity, and there is also a great risk in the opportunity, because the Qinglong Empire's army is very He may also face zombies, but Qin An doesn't care. The apocalypse will always end, and the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse is still the zombies. They have no souls, cannot communicate, and move around randomly to devour everything. Sooner or later, this battle will be fought. When the time comes to take action, take action.
In short, Qin An has nothing to do now, so now that he has met Robert, he is naturally willing to end this good relationship and help this man who is extremely angry but can't do anything at all.
"I really didn't expect that I would meet you..."
As the saying goes, once you make great progress, then you will fail again.
After Qin An stopped Robert, Robert's spirit immediately weakened a lot, and he didn't react much when Qin An pulled him away.
"Well, I didn't expect to meet you either. Let's go. Do you still remember my name?"
"Qin An..."
Qin An was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Robert's memory was not bad. Not only did he remember himself, but he also remembered his name.
"Haha, it feels so good to be remembered. Let's go to your house first, shall we? Go have something to eat. I'm a little hungry. I think you will entertain me as warmly as you did back then?"
"Qin An, I..."
Robert shed tears of cowardice.
This is actually a man with some cowardice at heart.
Robert believed in being kind to others all his life. He did not like violence and advocated the love of harmony.
However, in these last years, his values were completely shattered by reality.
This is a very cruel thing. The so-called cruelty does not mean facing the end of the world, but having to face reality.
"Are you still willing to go to Acerola?"
"ah?"
Robert, who was crying, was stunned. He didn't know why Qin An knew his lover's name.
Qin An took Robert's arm and walked faster towards his home.
The stimulation that Robert received was quite severe, so he could not turn his head around, so Qin An kept pulling him back to the door of his home.
It was a very simple wooden house with two rooms. The so-called living room and kitchen were connected together. The bedroom was as small as only a dozen square meters. Such a house was considered good in this area. At least it had a so-called living room and kitchen.
Fenggu City is a stacked building. The bottom ten meters are stacked with civilian row houses and sloping block facilities. The circular metal building linked between the islands serves as the information center hub storage, and the intelligent systems inside Controls the entire city's water, electricity and weapons defense systems.
The dwarves' architectural IQ is unmatched by anyone, but their artificial intelligence technology is not perfect. Therefore, most of the institutions in Fenggu City are still controlled by manual computer-like systems. Compared with Kowloon City, Fenggu City It has almost no advantages, but it is indeed a high-tech city.
This big city is divided into three areas, the lower city, the upper city, and the central pillar.
The lower city is populated by civilians and soldiers of earth and alien races, the upper city is populated by the upper class and dwarves of various ethnic groups, and the central pillar is the weapons system and equipment area.
The main combat weapon of the dwarves is the dwarf fighter planes. These fighters are embedded in the buildings in the upper city. They can take off directly using fixed thrusters. They are small in size and move quickly. They are equipped with continuously fired energy conversion machine guns and small but powerful explosion ranges. Projected cannonballs are a combat weapon widely used by dwarves on the Sword Spirit Star with very mature technical means.
Robert's home is naturally in the civilian area of the Lower City. Their house is built on a small island. The waters between the islands have been filled in and connected together to form the base of Fenggu City.
Qin An glanced around and couldn't help but be amazed again. How did this huge hourglass building come about? The middle column is estimated to be a cylinder with a diameter of 200 meters and a length of 400 meters, but it supports the huge upper city building on the top. Is it supported by earth materials? How come it has such great support? I really don't understand.
Shaking his head with a sigh, Qin An felt that time was almost up, and finally turned his gaze back to Robert, only to see that he was still in a daze, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"Hi friend, you haven't answered my question yet. Are you still willing to love that woman? If not, then we don't need to do anything. If we love...then I have to tell you some bad news. She committed suicide. , cut her wrists, if you don’t go in, then she will leave you forever!”
"What?"
"Suicide, Acerola, she is about to die, and she is in your house. Do you want to continue to stand here in a daze, or go in and take a look?"
Within seconds after Qin An finished speaking, Robert jumped up and ran towards the room like crazy.
Qin An stood there and took out a cigarette, with a very indifferent expression on his face.
I wonder what Weng Lan is doing at this time?
The reason why human beings are still human beings is precisely because they still have seven emotions and six desires.
Perhaps Robert felt insulted that women were out working as dancers.
Qin An thinks this is nothing. If it were him who experienced this situation, he might be angry and sad, but if it were someone else, he really doesn't think it matters.
Because Qin An understands farewell, understands loss, and even more understands the preciousness of regaining something lost.
In his opinion, loss should be the most painful, and what else are other things?
