Two Hundred and Eighty Eighth Old Friend (2)

"By the way, where are you going?" Qi Shutong asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Ye Han said, "There is someone directing the convoy, we just follow along."

Qi Shutong's disappointment was palpable: "I still want to ask where to go, I have a mental preparation."

"What?" Ye Han was slightly stunned, "Didn't I tell you where to retreat?"

"We were only notified that we were going to evacuate, but we didn't say where we were going in the notification." Qi Shutong replied, "Jingjiang is no longer, Linyi is no longer, and Fuyun is no longer. What do you call this? Also, so A big country, with so many troops, so many planes and cannons, why can’t it take down a few bugs?”

Ye Han sighed: "I can't help it, who let the insects live in the ground? After finally controlling the giant ant, another boxer ant popped up, alas..."

Qi Shutong also sighed: "Withdrawing like this, when will it be a head? Withdrawing back and forth, until the end, except for people, there is nothing left."

"If you don't evacuate, there will be no people left." Ye Han turned to look at the crowd receiving food, "Do you know how many people there are in the whole province?"

"Thirty million, probably?"

Ye Han pursed his lips, lowered his voice and said, "Now there are only seventeen or eight million left."

"Ah?" Qi Shutong turned pale with shock, "How is it possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. More than 10 million people have died, disappeared and lost contact. Tell me, what can we do if we don't withdraw?"

Qi Shutong also lowered her voice: "Where did you hear this?"

"Where else could it be? The notification from above!" Ye Han said.

The sudden burst of tears blurred Qi Shutong's vision, and the teardrops fell out of her eyes one by one like broken beads.

"What's wrong?" Ye Han was puzzled for a while, why did he start crying while talking?

Qi Shutong suddenly hugged Ye Han, buried her head in Ye Han's chest and cried loudly, Ye Han was at a loss what to do, who was unprepared.

Ye Han has seen a lot of similar scenes in movies and TV, and every time he was anxious for those men who hesitated, but today it was his turn to encounter the same situation, and he couldn't help hesitating.

Qi Shutong hugged her tighter and tighter,

Ye Han's two arms hesitated again and again, and finally fell on Qi Shutong's back, holding her tightly in his arms.

On the off-road vehicle not far away, several heads crowded the car windows, and everyone looked curiously at this pair of men and women who "embrace each other affectionately", guessing the relationship between the two.

The ordinary people queuing up to receive food saw this scene and pointed curiously as well.

Ye Han prided himself on being thick-skinned, but in the face of tens of hundreds of people watching, his thick skin, which was comparable to a city wall, was so embarrassing that he didn't know where to look.

Fortunately, Qi Shutong's emotions came and went quickly, but she stopped crying after a while, gently pushed Ye Han away, wiped her swollen eyes, and took a deep breath: "I'm fine gone."

Ye Han nodded and said nothing, he and Qi Shutong haven't gotten to know each other enough to talk about everything.

However, Qi Shutong couldn't keep her words in her heart, so she sighed and said: "My hometown is Bainan, and I have lost contact with my family for more than a week..." Before he finished speaking, his voice choked up again.

Ye Han was suddenly sad, and reluctantly persuaded: "Auspicious people have their own heaven..."

Qi Shutong shook her head: "Don't comfort me, if my family members are fine, they should have contacted me long ago."

Ye Han was speechless immediately.

Bai Nan is located in the north of Jingjiang River and east of Linyi, which is closer to the ant-occupied area than Linyi. The time to give up Bainan is earlier than that of Linyi. If Qi Shutong's family is fine, it is indeed time to contact her.

Qi Shutong's tears flowed down again, Ye Han felt that she needed a warm embrace at this time, and he should take the initiative.

So Ye Han took a step forward, put his arm on Qi Shutong's shoulder, and was about to hug her into his arms, but Qi Shutong twisted his shoulder and pulled Ye Han's arm away: "I'm fine, really, I'm fine."

She raised her head and silently shed a few tears, but soon regained control of her emotions, wiped away the tears on her face, and showed a very reluctant smile.

Ye Han took a step back wisely, and persuaded: "You don't have to do this, just cry if you want to."

Qi Shutong twitched hard: "I won't cry anymore, they don't want me like this."

Ye Han was speechless, not knowing what else to say.

"I'm sorry." Qi Shutong suddenly said inexplicably.

Ye Han shook his head: "Sorry, I can't help you."

"There are more than 10 million people, how many can you help?"

Ye Han was silent.

The two of them didn't have a deep friendship in the first place, at most they could only be counted as nodding acquaintances, and now they have said almost everything they can say, and the two were relatively speechless for a while.

Beep——

The horn sounded not far away, and Ye Han subconsciously turned around.

"Company Commander Ye—" There was a long shout in the distance, but it was Xiao Yuan who was waving at Ye Han.

Ye Han's eyes extended to the distance, it turned out that the team was already ready to go.

Ye Han was slightly disappointed: "I'm leaving."

Qi Shutong also saw the waving soldier, nodded and said, "I'll see you off."

"No need." Ye Han tugged at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and refused, turned around and took two steps, then stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Take care!"

"Take care." Qi Shutong smiled, and the pear blossoms were raining.

Ye Han waved his hand and strode away.

Qi Shutong put away her smile, sighed faintly, and watched Ye Han get into the off-road vehicle.

Back in the car, Xiao Yuan had a gossipy face: "Company commander, who is that beauty, sister-in-law?"

Ye Han forced a smile: "No."

"Why is the company commander still embarrassed?" Xiao Yuan bravely teased, "I don't even introduce myself to everyone!"

"Really not." Ye Han said, "It's just a former colleague."

Ye Han's expression was wrong, and the soldiers didn't dare to ask any more questions, but they couldn't help winking, full of doubts about Ye Han's answer.

The two of them were still hugging each other just now, and they were full of worries when they got back to the car. No one would believe Ye Han's words.

Ye Han didn't explain anything, just sat there quietly thinking about something.

His relationship with Qi Shutong is very simple, but the encounter with Qi Shutong reminded him of many people, Professor Qin, Bai Xiaoting, Zhou Yun with a broken leg, Xiao Jing who disappeared...

To this day, Ye Han can only contact a small number of them, and most of them are missing. Regardless of whether the relationship was in harmony at the beginning, in retrospect, there is only a touch of melancholy and sadness in my heart.

Ye Han is not a sentimental person, but the plague of insects is getting worse and worse. After today, it is very likely that he will never see each other again in his whole life. How can he not make people feel emotional? (To be continued.)
