Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

The pain of the wound and the exhaustion of physical strength made Fu Yunlan a little dizzy. He persisted and moved forward for a certain distance. When he raised his head again to check the direction, he saw a dozen dense figures in the distance.

He was sure that the other party had also seen him, and it was a bit redundant to find a place to hide now. Fu Yunlan thought for a while, put away her weapon, breathed evenly, and tried to put on a relaxed posture.

When he finally saw the other party's appearance clearly and found that Celeste was among them, Fu Yunlan's heart that had been hanging on him suddenly eased, and a little smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.

"Lan!" Celeste trotted towards him from a long distance, and Fu Yunlan continued to walk forward at a leisurely pace, because if he walked faster, it would be difficult for him to hide his injury. No matter how excited he was, he did not dare to ignore Kars and the others who were staring at him.

When Celeste ran up to him and stopped, Fu Yunlan reached out and stroked Celeste's hair: "You're back?"

"Yeah," Thurlist said.

"Go, go home."

"it is good."

"Wait a minute, Celeste." Kars couldn't figure out the situation, "You said before that he came out to find you, what is going on, how do you know? And I clearly heard The Hurricane Wolf was seriously injured and couldn't even get out of bed?"

He looked at the renegade Hummingbird Town garrison member, and the former garrison member quickly swore: "What I said is true. He was injured almost to death before, and he hasn't been out of the house for several months."

Kars looked at Fu Yunlan more suspiciously.

"...It seems that you really don't know anything." Fu Yunlan smiled without showing any nervousness.

"Yes, what should I know?"

"I don't need to tell you." Fu Yunlan said, "I just came to pick him up."

"...Only you?" Kars' fingers were already twitching. If his guess was true, this should be an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Hurricane Wolf.

At this moment, Celeste took off his down jacket and handed it to Kars: "You don't have to send me off anymore, Lan will escort me back."

Kars picked it up without knowing it. He was completely confused by their nonchalant attitude. After thinking for a while, he said, "...it's quite far from Hummingbird Town, let me take you there."

"No need, you can rest assured that I have Lan to protect me." Celeste said, "Besides, before I tell them that you are going to join Hummingbird Town, if you approach again without saying hello, there is no guarantee that they will not overreact. .”

"... Well, remember what we agreed on." Kars said, "We will meet again soon."

"See you."

Kars led his men back and walked away. Celeste followed Fu Yunlan in the opposite direction. He turned to look at Fu Yunlan with some worry, and asked in a low voice, "How is your injury?"

"It doesn't matter, keep going." Fu Yunlan said, "Don't let them see the flaw."

"Ah."

Kars walked for a while and then looked back suspiciously. Fu Yunlan was chatting with Celeste, walking back like a leisurely stroll. Obviously this was a serious kidnapping incident, but they said It's like a parent picking up a child from school.

His subordinates were also confused, and one of them asked: "Boss, why didn't you take this opportunity to kill Hurricane Wolf?"

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. I have to think carefully. People who act impulsively will die quickly." Kars said, "Also, call me 'Mr. President'!"

"Okay boss." The subordinate said, "Are we really going to join Hummingbird Town?"

"Why not? I suddenly felt that this idea is quite good. It's much better than repairing generators. Hummingbird Town has walls, land, and most importantly, a hydropower station. What's not better than mines?"

"But can your brother's words be trusted?"

"Of course it's unbelievable." Kars smiled evilly, "and it's not certain whether he is my brother. In this world, you lie to me and I lie to you. Whoever believes whoever is an idiot, no matter what he thinks, anyway, those in Hummingbird Town When people get the news, they will definitely try to lure us in and eat them, and we just go in and eat them. Show me your tricks, and when we enter Hummingbird Town, there will definitely be a tough battle To fight."

"No problem, boss!"

On the other side, Celeste and Fu Yunlan continued to walk back to Hummingbird Town.

"Cooperated well." Fu Yunlan tried her best to maintain an even and strong step, so as not to be noticed by the group of people behind. "Kars is suspicious and cunning, how did you convince him to let you back?"

"I said the generator couldn't be repaired, and advised him to bring people into Hummingbird Town. He agreed, but don't believe him. He is going to take control of Hummingbird Town by force after he brings people into the town."

"Well, I won't believe it. When I go back, I will make them take precautions." Fu Yunlan asked uncomfortably, "He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"No." Celeste shook his head, "He said he was my brother and he would not hurt me."

"I've also heard the rumor that Kars may be the father's illegitimate child, but now there is no hospital for DNA testing, so no one knows if it is true."

Celeste remained silent, and Fu Yunlan turned to look at his expressionless face: "What's wrong? You don't seem happy?"

"You shouldn't have come out to look for me." Celeste said blankly but really unhappy, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you wait at home for me to go back?"

This remark sounded a bit vexatious, but Fu Yunlan didn't feel unhappy at all, instead she said to him in a good voice: "I don't know what happened to you, let alone you are already on your way back. Otherwise, I will definitely wait for you at home."

"Even if you're worried about me, you can wait until you recover from your injury before coming out to find me." Celeste was still unhappy.

"I don't know if you will be in danger outside, I... I can't wait any longer." Fu Yunlan said, "Now that you are safe and sound, I can rest assured. will do so.”

"You've been brave enough." Thelister said, "Sit down and rest for a while."

Fu Yunlan looked back, and now Kars and the others were no longer visible. He breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the stone by the roadside to rest. Celeste took out the bag from the backpack he brought. Food and water, Fu Yunlan ate some biscuits with cold water to replenish his strength. When he turned his head to look at Celeste, he found Celeste was looking at the ground motionless with his head down.

"What are you looking at?" Fu Yunlan asked.

"Ants." Celeste still looked down at the small black spots moving on the ground. "Even in such a cold day, they are still looking for food outside. The behavior of ants was not like this before."

"Probably because we haven't found enough food for the winter." Fu Yunlan said, "This place is really desolate."

"But there are many roots left by weeds here." Celeste finally stopped staring at the ants. He raised his head and asked Fu Yunlan, "Will flowers bloom when the snow melts?"

"Flowers?" Fu Yunlan said, "...I always feel as if I haven't seen flowers for a long time."

"I'd like to plant some in the flower bed by the door, if I can get seeds."

"There is too little sunlight now, and it is not easy to grow flowers, but..."

While Fu Yunlan was talking, Masi suddenly started shouting in Celeste's mind: "Master, there is danger, several gangsters are approaching here, four men and two women, all with guns in their hands, they found After leaving the traces you left behind, it is now coming towards you!"

Celeste nervously raised his head to look in the direction Marth said, and Fu Yunlan also noticed his abnormality. Just as he was about to ask "what's the matter", Celeste threw him to the ground suddenly.

Almost at the same time, a bullet from a sniper rifle passed over their heads with the sound of breaking the wind.

The trajectory of the ballistic was not told by Mars to Celeste, and he didn't know why he knew it all of a sudden, and threw Fu Yunlan down in time, dodging the bullet that would have hit Fu Yunlan's shoulder. bullet.

Fu Yunlan's reaction was also quick, she immediately hugged him and rolled over, hid behind the rock where the two of them were sitting just now, he took off the assault rifle on his shoulder in a lying down position, and listened to Zero The scattered gunshots judged the distance of the opponent.

Those gangsters missed a single shot in their sneak attack, and walked towards where they were while firing threateningly. It seemed that they were bound to get these two pieces of fresh meat.

Fu Yunlan saw Celeste taking out a pistol he had never seen before, as if he was about to get up and shoot, so he quickly pressed him down with his hand, and said softly: "Don't move around!"

Celeste remained obedient, and Fu Yunlan took out a grenade from his pocket and clasped it in the palm of his hand. When the gangsters got closer and could almost hear the sound of their boots stepping on the snow, he held it with his thumb. He pulled out the insurance at once, and threw the grenade out in a posture of facing up to the sky.

While the gangsters were screaming to avoid the grenade, Fu Yunlan rolled over, changed from lying on her back to kneeling, and completed the whole set of movements of raising the gun, aiming, and shooting within a few seconds. Yun Lan killed one of them with a few bursts of fire, and Celeste also took the opportunity to pop up and shoot, hitting a gangster between the eyebrows.

The other gangsters finally realized that these two pieces of meat that seemed easy to eat were actually hard stubble, so they didn't dare to save bullets any more, so they suppressed firepower in their direction. Lister's head made him lie down, and the stones in front of him were scattered by bullets.

Although Celeste has many abilities that ordinary people don't have, after all, he doesn't have much experience in dealing with things, and he doesn't know what to do at this time.While Fu Yunlan estimated the opponent's magazine capacity, he unzipped his clothes, moved his body with difficulty in a lying down position, and took off his down jacket by rubbing against the ground. He put a water bottle on the hood of the jacket. position, tightened the drawstring on the hood, making the hood look like a bulging human head at first glance.

He handed the clothes to Celeste, and said softly to Celeste between the gunshots: "As soon as I say hello, you hold up the kettle, understand?"

Celeste nodded, and Fu Yunlan yelled at the moment when the opponent's only submachine gun misfired: "Right now!"

Celeste immediately raised the hood of the down jacket, because Fu Yunlan was wearing this jacket just now, and the half of the hood that just came out of the rock looked exactly like his head, and the gangster who was waiting in full force shot two shots at the same time It hit the hood, feathers splashed, the kettle was broken, and cold water splashed Celeste's face.

At the same time as the gunshot, Fu Yunlan rolled on her knees and sat up again, emerged from the other side of the rock, and quickly aimed at the culprit and fired.

One gangster was shot several times and killed him immediately, while the other gangster panicked and lowered his gun and fired at Yunlan, so that the bullets flew into the sky, and Fu Yunlan's two bursts of fire killed him.
