Chapter 4 The 72nd hour of darkness
After a moment, it seemed as if she felt her sincerity. The man sitting in front of her, who was almost the same height as her, could barely squeeze a word out of her throat.
"Um"
Taking a deep breath, Su Mo told herself not to be angry and not to worry. She stood up and prepared to get some food. Her stomach started to rumble at a very abnormal time, especially loud on this quiet night.
"Gulu~Gu"
She covered her stomach and her face turned red. Why did she pick it at this time? She looked embarrassed and said to Lu Chen: "Would you like to eat something together?"
The girl standing in front of him like a refugee, Lu Chen directly expressed his dislike with his physical actions. He stood up and walked to the door, stepped on a piece of wood and was about to go out, and when he arrived at the tall figure at the door, Su Mo paused for a moment, then watched him turn back, carried the dining table in her room away and blocked the large hole in front of the door before going out.
Seeing this taciturn man going upstairs, she jumped to the door and passed through the gap and shouted to the dark corridor outside: "My name is Su Mo."
I thought I would not receive an answer, but unexpectedly, a man's low voice came: "Lu Chen"
It was such an awkward person. She curled her lips and pushed the table to the door, blocking the door tightly before jumping to the kitchen.
Due to the power outage, it was in this hot summer again that the things in the refrigerator soon broke down. The frozen fast food and popsicles in the refrigerator melted together, emitting a foul smell.
There were only a few boxes of canned fruits and some bags of instant noodles she had kept in the kitchen.
She felt so painful. This was the food she had just carried back, and it was gone. Su Mo had to eat a bag of instant noodles. Fortunately, the gas was still in supply, otherwise she would be hungry for a whole day.
After dinner, I cleaned up the mess at home, and the phone I threw on the ground had already run out of power and turned off.
Su Mo looked at the wall with the candlelight and saw that it was already early in the morning. She was afraid of touching the wound. She washed herself casually and changed into a clean pajama. She sat down by the window with a glass of water. The baby's face was full of sorrow, but it was still dark outside, and she couldn't see her five fingers.
I don’t know when I will call Lai.com. Nowadays, online payment is popular in this era. Most of the living expenses she earns are stored on her bank card, and the few red bills she holds are pitifully small.
This state of isolation and helplessness made Su Mo feel a little sad.
Just as she was thinking about her excitement, a dense and uniform sound came from the downstairs. She squinted her eyes and looked down, and could see a row of figures entering her building in an orderly manner.
She put the cup down and jumped to the door, bent down and looked through the gap. The lights in the stairwell flashed, and several soldiers wearing military uniforms and flashlights followed a middle-aged man in a grade.
Jiang Hai keenly felt someone looking at them, his sharp eyes shaved like a knife towards the place where Su Mo peeked, and his pace did not stop.
Su Mo was shocked by the other party's impulse, and quickly shrank her head back and retreated. She patted her chest and her heart beat violently. She was dressed as a person from the Military District of City A. What big man is living on the upstairs?
Lu Chen, who noticed the movement, opened the door and let someone in. Jiang Yulian's eyes turned red when she saw her man coming to pick him up in person. She was so old that she knew very well how important this child was to Jiang Hai.
Before leaving, she took Lu Chen's hand and repeatedly instructed: "If you don't leave, I won't force you. I just hope that the girl downstairs will watch more."
Jiang Hai had already learned a rough idea from his subordinates. He hugged his wife's shoulder. His tough face was full of majesty and his voice was serious: "We sent out the detection satellites and all the missing contact. The news has not been sent back yet. Stay here in the past few days and don't go out. If something happens, come back immediately."
Lu Chen nodded, his expression was rarely serious: "I understand."
After the explanation, Hu Ding, who was accompanying him, took off the big package on his body and placed it on the ground. He patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said with a teasing voice: "I knew you wouldn't go back if I had known you would have packed these things for you early in the morning."
Lu Chen was silent, threw away the hand on his shoulder and said harsh words: "Protect Aunt Jiang, I don't want this to happen again."
"No more" Hu Ding was defeated and stopped and touched his head in disappointment. He was also blamed for his soft-heartedness for a while, but he really didn't expect this to happen.
He sent a group downstairs. When passing Su Mo's room, Jiang Yulian found her dilapidated door and glared at Lu Chen, who was expressionless behind her, who didn't look like he did something wrong at all. She snatched a soldier's backpack and placed it in front of the door. She knocked on the door and said softly: "Girl, I have left you something. Don't go out during this period of time and remember to find Lu Chen, this stinky brat."
Hearing the sound, Su Mo's eyes lit up several degrees behind the door. She rubbed her hands excitedly and said loudly: "I understand, thank you aunt."
No one noticed that a door on the third floor was slightly open, and a pair of dark eyes inside were quietly watching the every move upstairs quietly closed the door before they went downstairs.
After no movement outside, Su Mo pushed open the table and hooked a black package. He couldn't wait to open it and saw that there were several full-scale power banks, a flashlight with a battery and a military dagger.
It was such a sleepy person who gave her a pillow. She took out her cell phone and immediately connected the data cable. She let out a long sigh as the sound of turning on the phone.
Except for the saber and power bank, the rest were stuffed into the bed in the bedroom by Su Mo. She was afraid that someone would break in, so she carried the quilt and held the saber and slept on the sofa. She planned to sleep here before dawn.
The 72nd hour of the arrival of dark night.
Except for government personnel dragging carts back and forth to broadcast the sound of residents reminding them to be careful of travel, the streets are mostly silent.
It has been three days since Su Mo didn't hear any movement upstairs, and the wound on her leg healed very quickly. A thin layer of knot did not affect her movement. She has been obediently staying at home and not going out for the past few days. Although she doesn't have to worry about being hungry for the time being, she began to worry about the candles at home. She didn't have much reserves at first, and although she saved it, she was about to use it up, and she didn't want to fall into the darkness.
She sighed melancholy. In the past few days, she did not dare to waste electricity except for making a few unreachable calls. She turned on her phone and wanted to call Lu Chen upstairs and asked him to help him see the next house. She went to buy some candles and came back. The number was right in front of her. She still didn't press the call to Jian.
"Oh, forget it." After struggling for a while, she put down her phone.
