Chapter 220 Brass Key
The black clouds gradually dissipated, the strong wind stopped, and the gunshots in the playground gradually disappeared, and a crisis was over.
The heavy snow covered all blood and horror, leaving only a large piece of pure white.
A golden light broke free from the horizon, tearing through the darkness and bringing light.
The soldiers of the strange game who had been fighting all night leaned against the ruins, and some of their fingers pressed on the trigger of the gun and fell asleep. Some of them were crying while restraining the relics of others.
Some people, numbing their faces, bandage their wounds, took out the cold and hard bread and nibbled them hard.
Today is New Year's Eve, a day of reunion, but some people stay here forever and never have a chance to reunite.
Yuan Qingzhou was wearing a blanket given to her by someone else and sat motionless among brick and stone ruins. She had been sitting there for a long time, and her body was covered with snow, like a snowman.
She sat expressionlessly, quietly looking at the corpse ahead that had frozen into ice, no one was collecting, and no one even took a look at it.
Those who are grieving for their comrades, don't even know that what is lying there is their former superiors and former comrades.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Jun Moxi walked past Yuan Qingzhou with a coma Qingluan on his back.
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Qingzhou suddenly stood up and called Jun Moxi.
Jun Moxi stopped and turned around, with a cold expression.
"Why... want to kill him?" Yuan Qingzhou's tone was plain and there was no excitement.
Jun Moxi frowned, followed Yuan Qingzhou's gaze and saw the aberrant species that she killed on the helicopter.
"Shouldn't the distorted species be killed?"
After saying that, Jun Moxi turned around and left with Qingluan on his back.
"It's because of this?" Yuan Qingzhou asked.
Jun Moxi stopped again and let out a sarcastic laugh. She didn't look back and said, "Is this reason not enough?"
Yuan Qingzhou's eyes were empty and there was no focal length. He slowly retreated and sat down again.
"...... Enough... This reason... is enough..."
Jun Moxi walked further and further along with the Qingluan on her back, and the Qingluan on her back suddenly murmured.
"……elder sister……"
A touch of heartache flashed through Jun Moxi's eyes and comforted softly: "I will help you find your sister together. Have a sleep. You are overdrawing too much."
After Jun Moxi left with Qingluan, the Yiji Bureau and the public security rescue forces from Jiu'an City arrived and began the aftermath rescue work.
People were busy and shouting around, and Yuan Qingzhou was still sitting there quietly.
I can't tell what my mood is, there is not a lot of sadness, nor a lot of anger, but a little sadness and a little doubt.
Should all the distorted species be killed?
What was her original intention for this warrior path?
If one day, my mother and she become distorted species, would they be killed by others without asking for the reason like Luo Shou?
What should she do to make her mother and herself live safely in this cruel world?
Should we hide like mice in the sewer, or should we reach the top and overturn this domineering rule?
Can she do it? Should she do it?
These questions have been rolling in Yuan Qingzhou's heart. She couldn't find the answer or make up her mind. She was in a dilemma for the first time in her life, couldn't find a way out, and couldn't find someone to help her.
It was so cold, even more biting than the heavy snow was eroding her a little bit.
She spread her left hand and looked at the position of her wrist. There seemed to be a little red mark, and on her right hand, she was holding a watch belonging to the strange adjustment.
Buzz! Buzz!
The watch kept vibrating, but Yuan Qingzhou had no reaction at all and just sat there blankly.
I don’t know how long it took, but a crying voice panted and woke her up in an angry tone.
"Yuan Qingzhou, why don't you reply to my message? Do you know how worried I am about you!!"
Yuan Qingzhou raised his head blankly and saw An Xiaocai whose eyes and nose were red, tears were still spinning in her eyes.
"You're here..."
When An Xiaocai heard Yuan Qingzhou's hoarse voice, she looked at her desolate state, and her anger disappeared in an instant, leaving only heartache.
She took off her coat, patted Yuan Qingzhou's body and snow on her head and put it on her, and squatted down and hugged Yuan Qingzhou hard.
"Okay, okay, don't think about it, let's go home and go home with me for the New Year."
Yuan Qingzhou's nose suddenly became sore, and hot liquid poured into her eyes. She sucked her nose and nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, go home."
An Xiaocai pulled Yuan Qingzhou through the ruins, passed through corpses, and quickly left this hell on earth.
In the ambulance outside, Yuan Qingzhou saw the circus leader Xu Changfu among the only few survivors.
Xu Changfu couldn't help crying as soon as he saw her and nodded hard to her.
Yuan Qingzhou looked indifferent and nodded to him.
In this world, good people may still be rewarded.
An Xiaocai helped her handle the follow-up procedures and took her back to her new home.
Yuan Qingzhou was not in the mood to appreciate the decoration and layout of the new home. As soon as he returned, he was stuffed into the bathroom by An Xiaocai. After checking and treating her injuries, An Xiaocai put a full pool of water for her, allowing her to take a comfortable bath.
During this period, I didn't ask anything and didn't mention what happened last night.
An Dashan wanted to watch TV, but An Xiaocai beat him out with a broom.
After washing it, Ma Qiuhua put the New Year's Eve dinner in advance until noon and let her have a beautiful meal.
After eating and drinking, Yuan Qingzhou carried Xiaoman to An Xiaocai's bedroom, climbed onto the bunk bed she and An Xiaocai picked together, and fell asleep deeply.
Let the worries sleep. When she wakes up, it will be a new year and a new beginning.
In the past, every time she encountered a hurdle that she couldn't overcome, she would go to bed.
When she wakes up, no matter whether things change or not, she will accept reality and continue to move forward so that she will not waste the great time in her life due to entanglement.
Yuan Qingzhou slept through New Year's Eve this time.
Firecrackers were ringing outside, but none of them affected her.
The amusement park incident did not affect the New Year atmosphere of the Cangwu Federation. Only Jiuan City was affected.
In the early morning, An Dashan stood at the window with a beer can, and asked An Xiaocai in confusion, "Why do you feel that the noise of the fire outside this year seems to have become much smaller? Is it my illusion?"
An Xiaocai's eyes were dim and she said nothing, but Ma Qiuhua already knew it.
An Xiaocai could not tell An Dashan that an accident last night took away nearly 10,000 lives in Jiu'an City and countless happy families.
In just one night, the deserted orphanage in Jiu'an City was filled with the arrival of the New Year with a sorrowful cry.
The incident was temporarily suppressed by the official, and the families of the victims also sent special personnel to comfort them one by one, but the dead could never come back.
Even their families will never be able to face this New Year's Eve that is celebrated throughout the country again.
An Xiaocai can only be selfishly thankful that her family is still there and her boss is still alive.
The life and death of others is not important, she only needs Yuan Qingzhou to be alive.
The next day, Yuan Qingzhou slept until nine o'clock before waking up. Her tired body got enough rest. The feeling of being full of strength made her mood improve.
"Good morning, baby, good morning."
The starling hanging under the window flapped her wings happily and greeted her.
"Good morning, my brother."
The door of the house opened, An Xiaocai leaned in and said with a smile: "The food is still hot outside, so hurry up and wash and eat. I'll go out now and help you bring your luggage from the old house."
Yuan Qingzhou got off the bed and nodded, "Well, I've packed it before I went out, there's only one box."
"Is there anything else I need to buy for you?"
Yuan Qingzhou shook his head, An Xiaocai was about to go out.
"Small Cook!" Yuan Qingzhou suddenly called her, "Tomorrow, I will move to my mother's place, so... let me know in advance."
An Xiaocai bit her lip and felt aggrieved and reluctant, but in the end she just smiled, "Okay, I'll go get you something for you first."
After washing up and breakfast, Yuan Qingzhou was about to take a knife and find a place to practice. Suddenly, he saw something very unexpected in the place where she put the knife.
When An Xiaocai helped her clean her clothes, she placed all the things she found from her neatly on the table.
In addition to her weapon armor, the necklace obtained from the female doctor was pasted with a talisman by An Xiaocai. It seemed that it could be something that could be detained as a card.
But what really attracted Yuan Qingzhou's attention was the classic brass key next to the necklace.
It is clearly the key to leaving the playground when Yin Ming first showed it.
Yuan Qingzhou frowned in confusion. When did Yin Ming put the key on her? What kind of lock is this? From the time he recognized her in the two-choice game, Yin Ming's series of behaviors were strange and discord. Could he have other purposes?
Yuan Qingzhou put down his knife and sat at the desk and opened An Xiaocai's computer, took a photo of the key to upload, and began to search for places where the key could be opened.
When you find this place, all mysteries will be solved.
