Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 25:

Qin Huai bought a train ticket, and it took less than three hours to take the train to City B from their side. Although it took an hour longer than the plane, it was still safer on land than in the sky. In fact, he was planning to buy a plane ticket at the beginning. After all, time is precious, but seeing that Mu Nan didn't want to take a plane, he decided to switch to a bullet train. It's not a big deal.

Mu Nan really doesn't want to take a plane. In his last life, a plane exploded. He didn't know if it was caused by high temperature. At that time, many cars spontaneously ignited and buses exploded. When it was impossible to go out at all, the plane also exploded. So even if the temperature is still normal now, he dare not fly.

The two of them didn't bring any luggage, so Qin Huai carried a bag with two bottles of water and a charger in it. There were few things, and it was easy to go through the security check. Because the time was stuck, the train was lucky not to be late, so he waited for the train After staying in the room for a while, I got into the car.

Now the country has just lifted the ban, and it is not a New Year's Eve, so there are not many people traveling. I feel that most of them are traveling or working in other areas. I have been trapped for a few months, so I want to go back to see my family as soon as the ban is lifted. of.

Mu Nan was sitting by the window, Qin Huai was sitting by the aisle, and a middle-aged man was sitting across the aisle from him, holding a black bag in his arms all the time, but looking at the outline printed on the black bag, there was still a solemn embrace. With the pose in his arms and the expression on his face that obviously hasn't recovered from the grief of the deceased relative, Mu Nan thinks that it might be an urn.

But Mu Nan didn't look too much, the smog had just cleared, and there were too many people who were not easy.

Soon the moving car started, and Mu Nan looked at the scenery that was constantly receding outside. Although he had been reborn for three months in order to buy the most supplies with the least money, he ran a lot of places, but the distance is as quiet as it is now, It has been many years since I let myself go without making calculations or looking at the scenery without making plans. In my last life, I left the city where I was, and it was when I was in the third year of high school to participate in the competition. In the future, this kind of scenery should never happen again.

Before he could make any more sighs, a big dry and warm hand touched his face, with a slight force, he pressed his head, which was sitting upright, on the shoulder next to him. Qin Huai lowered his head slightly. Although he only saw the brim of his hat, he still couldn't help showing a smile: "Go to sleep, wake up so early in the morning."

Mu Nan didn't struggle, and adjusted himself to a more comfortable position, leaning on Qin Huai's shoulder and closing his eyes. He didn't think he would fall asleep. Although when he was a child, he did have the habit of falling asleep in the car, but later this habit was gradually quit. Even if he closed his eyes and played soothing music in the earphones, he never fell asleep again. Fall asleep in any moving vehicle.

However, this habit, which was quit, seemed to be broken in an instant with Qin Huai's return. Mu Nan fell asleep almost drooling, until he was awakened by a violent and excited conflict.

As soon as he moved, Qin Huai immediately stood up and stood in front of him. Mu Nan, who was in a daze, hadn't realized what happened when he saw the middle-aged man who was sitting next to the aisle choking a Many people are trying to persuade the boy's neck, but there is only so little space in the aisle of the carriage, and once people are crowded, it will be even more difficult for the two people who are tugging to separate.

Qin Huai stood in his seat without moving, Mu Nan's head protruded from behind him, and he pushed it back: "Stay behind, don't join in the fun."

The middle-aged man didn't know what stimulated him, his excited eyes were scarlet, and he strangled the boy's neck with all his strength. The boy struggled desperately, but because he was sitting on the inside, he was pinched outside. His man blocked it, and others could only pull from the man's back. In addition to the narrow aisle, two or three people couldn't even pull this mad middle-aged man away for a while.

The conductor quickly rushed over, and let all the onlookers disperse, and quickly asked two stronger-looking helpers to pull the mad middle-aged man away. Finally, he dragged the middle-aged man out of the seat, and the people next to him rushed forward and tried to break the man's hand that was pinching the boy.

But the middle-aged man was still struggling, trying to pinch it again, cursing: "Bastard! I'll strangle you, little bastard! There are people who are born and no one cares for them. If you're so vicious, you've killed your whole family!"

The pinched boy could no longer make a sound, and his face was pale. I don't know if his neck was pinched too hard, or he was overly frightened. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He couldn't come out, and his crotch was already wet, because he was wearing khaki cropped pants, so the wet part was quite obvious.

Mu Nan noticed that the black backpack that the middle-aged man had been wearing before fell to the ground at this moment. The backpack was somehow opened, revealing a white jade-colored box and a piece of yellow cloth inside. Looking at the size and engraving of the box, it was obvious that It was the urn he guessed earlier.

The middle-aged man who quickly became mad was suppressed by several men and dragged out of this compartment. Several conductors who came behind helped him up from the ground, and one of them picked up the backpack with the urn on the ground. And let those who stand up to watch the fun sit down and don't gather around.

Qin Huai was also standing, but he was not standing to watch the excitement, but to stand in front of him, fearing that the group of people pushing and shoving would accidentally hurt the innocent behind him. Naturally sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Mu Nan asked curiously, "What's the matter? Why did they start fighting? That boy was about to be strangled to death."

Qin Huai said: "He deserves it."

Because he was sitting in the aisle next to him, Qin Huai didn't have the habit of getting in the car to sleep, so he kept swiping his phone soberly, dealing with the warehouse contact, and the hotel check-in.

The seat space of the high-speed train is relatively small, and those who sit inside must sit outside to get out of the way. Just now, the boy sitting inside came out to go to the bathroom. When he returned to the seat after using the bathroom, the middle-aged man turned slightly to avoid it. The earphone cable caught on the middle-aged man’s backpack zipper, and the backpack was almost dropped because of the boy’s pull. The man didn’t say anything, but nervously opened the backpack to check, and the urn inside was the one with black and white photos on it. kind.

The boy who was dressed very trendy and had earphones around his neck saw the things in the middle-aged man's backpack. He didn't know whether he was surprised or felt bad luck. He suddenly pushed the middle-aged man with his hands and cursed. Said: "Fuck, why don't you bring a dead man's box into the car."

Probably because he didn't expect the boy to push him suddenly, and the urn itself was a bit heavy. He was holding it with one hand, and he was opening the bag for inspection with the other hand. They all fell to the ground, the urn inside also fell down, the lid was thrown open, and even a corner of the yellow cloth wrapping the ashes was thrown out of the box. Fortunately, the ashes inside did not leak out. come out.

And that boy didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions at all, he kept cursing, saying that it was not considered unlucky to bring a dead person, and don't take public transportation with such a thing, a lot of bad luck What the fuck.

And then the middle-aged man went crazy, first he slapped the boy **** the face, and when the boy tried to fight back, he unceremoniously grabbed his neck. The others were startled by this turn of events, and they hurried forward to talk about it, and behind them were the ones Mu Nan woke up to see.

Hearing Qin Huai's explanation, Mu Nan was also speechless: "Tsk, this kind of person really deserves to be beaten to death."

Other people in the carriage were also discussing this matter, but most of them said that the boy deserved his life, which means that if the family education is not taught well, he can only experience severe beatings from the society. It is estimated that the boy also has a very good family background and is used to being pampered. Not to mention being more sensible, knowing a little bit, being able to basically be a human being, and not making the act of throwing someone else's urn. Especially when the pandemic is just over, how many people have died? Some of them died in other places, how else can they be brought back? Not everyone has the money to charter a car.

The high-speed train stopped at a station for fifteen minutes. From the window, Mu Nan saw the middle-aged man and the young boy being taken off the train by the conductor, and the black bag returned to the middle-aged man's hand. The man's eyes were red, his expression With some numbness, he held the bag tightly and let others take it away. And the boy was left completely supported by two staff members, one left and one right. It is estimated that he was almost strangled to death and his legs softened due to fright.

All the way to the destination, nothing happened on the road. When we got off the car, a wave of heat hit our face. At noon, the sun outside was too strong to stay for a long time, so Qin Huai took Mu Nan to the hotel first. The air conditioner in the room had been turned on in advance, but Mu Nan took a shower first, which relieved the heat from his body a little.

When Qin Huai came out of the shower, the lunch ordered by Mu Nan was just delivered. He thought that the time was running out, so he asked while eating: "Are we going to collect the goods directly? Can we pack them all and take them away?"

Qin Huai was afraid that he would choke, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, take a nap in the afternoon, and go to the warehouse at about four or five o'clock to check. Even if you are going to receive the goods, you will go at night, so don't be in a hurry."

Hearing that he was about to leave the house immediately, Mu Nan slowed down his eating speed: "Then this time, do you have to go to the company again?"

Qin Huai nodded: "I'm going to go, some transfer documents need to be signed to take effect."

Mu Nan snorted, and glanced at Qin Huai: "Then will I see Jiang Xuan?" He is still brooding over the fact that Jiang Xuan lied to him.

It's not just this time, but also the previous life.

After the smog, order was restored for a period of time, because he was locked at home during the smog, so he naturally tried to contact Qin Huai, but no one in the alumni group he had before knew about Qin Huai. They scattered, and he couldn't get in touch. After the ban was lifted to go out, he rushed to Jiang Xuan's house immediately, and got Jiang Xuan's phone number through Jiang Xuan's parents. After giving his name, before he could ask Qin Huai, he just said that I was too busy to hang up the phone, and after that, the call couldn't be reached.

Jiang Xuan was the only person he knew who could possibly find Qin Huai, because he didn't have any contact with Qin Huai's other classmates. When he went to Jiang Xuan, it was because of this sentence that he felt that Jiang Xuan could contact Qin Huai.

He couldn't get through the phone. He learned about Jiang Xuan's company from Jiang Xuan's parents, so he immediately looked for it. I found it. I didn't expect to find the company, but it is said that Jiang Xuan had resigned before the smog, and it has been more than half a year since he resigned.

The last point to find Qin Huai may also be lost. On the way back, he even suffered from heatstroke and went to the hospital. Fortunately, he fell on the bus and did not fall directly on the ground. The person who fell on the ground at that time was directly burnt. Layers of skin.

Therefore, when Jiang Xuan contacted Jiang Xuan again in this life and learned from Jiang Xuan that he had broken contact with Qin Huai, Mu Nan never thought about going to him again to confirm. He felt that Jiang Xuan might really not know. His own name, and it was just after the epidemic, if Jiang Xuan knew where Qin Huai was, how could he hang up the phone so indifferently.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan would lie to him, but he couldn't figure out why Jiang Xuan would lie to him, and what good would it do to lie to him.

Qin Huai naturally didn't know about the past life, and thought that Mu Nan was thinking about Jiang Xuan's cheating on him this time, so he said: "If he is still in the company, it is possible to see him, and I want my brother to beat him up and help him. Are you angry?"

Mu Nan shook her head: "I'm just curious why Jiang Xuan lied to me."

Qin Huai's eyes drooped slightly, then he smiled, "Maybe he's sick."
