Chapter 65: Stirring up the Crowd (Part 2)

"How far away is this wave of beasts?"

"Three hundred kilometers away." bb stood on tiptoes, eyes glowing red, and looked ahead: "At the current speed, we will arrive here early tomorrow morning."

"This batch of beasts should be part of the final beasts." Nodding, Chen Yu made a prompt decision, picked up BB and rushed towards the north of the city.

"Are we going to escape?" bb asked.

"You must escape." Chen Yu's eyes flashed: "But it's not me..."

soon.

Under Chen Yu's haste, in just two minutes, the two passed through neighborhoods and arrived at Elm Street where the cigarette shop was located.

Stopping, Chen Yu turned around and glanced subconsciously at the dilapidated stationery store. He was silent for a moment, then opened the door and said to the proprietress behind the cigarette cabinet: "Sister Qi, I have some unfortunate news for you."

"A strange beast is coming?" The proprietress crossed her legs and took a leisurely puff of her cigarette.

"How did you know?" Chen Yu was surprised.

"What?!" The landlady stood up suddenly, her eyes widened: "A strange beast is really here?!"

"The way you reacted just now, I thought you knew."

"Fart! Can I guess this kind of thing?" Standing up, the landlady turned around a few times: "That's right... It's already this time, what else can be 'unfortunate'? There's only the beast tide..."

After muttering something, the proprietress turned her head and looked directly at Chen Yu for a long time. Then she suddenly sat back down, picked up the cigarette that fell on the table, and took a deep puff: "How did you know? The beast tide has arrived at the city?"

"I saw it." BB, who was lying on Chen Yu's back, raised his hands happily.

Squeezing the cigarette tightly, the landlady looked back and forth between Chen Yu and BB. After a moment, she asked: "Is she reliable?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Except for the unreliable IQ, the rest are reliable."

"Hiss-" He took another deep breath of cigarette and exhaled it gently. Through the blurred haze, the landlady stared at Chen Yu: "When will the beast tide come?"

"tomorrow morning."

"The same time as last time..."

"Yes.

"Chen Yu shrugged: "Every beast tide appears in the early morning. Don't know why. "

"Then why are you lingering?" The proprietress stood up, slapped her hands on the cigarette cabinet, and supported her body: "Why don't you leave quickly? Go back to the Magic City."

"Um?"

Frowning his brows slightly, Chen Yu looked at the landlady up and down: "I hear what you want...you won't leave?"

"..." The landlady blinked and remained silent.

"You really don't want to leave?!" Chen Yu was shocked.

"...don't leave."

"Why?"

"The final beast wave is here. Even if we leave, where can we go?" The landlady put out the cigarette with an expressionless face: "Just like this cigarette. Sooner or later, there will be a day when it is finished."

With that said, she left the counter, walked to Chen Yu, and showed a smile: "Xiao Yu, compared to my husband who died early, I am already very lucky. I have survived for so long while fighting against the beast tide."

Chen Yu: "...Sister Qi, you are a little pessimistic. Even now, at least civilization still exists. Your behavior is cowardly in my opinion."

Boss Wife: "I'm not a man either."

Chen Yu: "..."

"And..." The landlady looked out the window at the neighborhood: "I was born here and grew up here. I went to school here, got a job here, and got married here. My whole life is tied to Qingcheng. It’s decided. Although it’s not everything to me, at least, in the face of death, I choose Qingcheng.”

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: "You still have me."

Boss Wife: "You are barren."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Anyway, you should leave as soon as possible." The boss's pretty face showed a bit of irritation: "At your speed, you can escape to the devil's capital in one day."

As these words fell, the room fell into silence.

A man and a woman, looking at each other.

It seems like we have returned to the scene half a year ago, when the beast tide came, and the "yin and yang were separated".

"...Sister Qi, are you really sure?" After a while, Chen Yu said in a hoarse voice.

"Definitely." The proprietress relighted the cigarette, took a puff, looked directly at Chen Yu, and made a pun: "I can escape many things in my life. But I will not escape from alien beasts. I, and aliens, The beast has a grudge.”

"…Then I understand."

Sighing deeply, Chen Yu pursed his lips: "Then I have one last question. Can you answer me honestly?"

The landlady nodded: "I loved you."

Chen Yu was stunned: "Huh?"

"..." The landlady was silent for a long time and hesitated: "What do you want to ask?"

Chen Yu scratched his head: "I want to ask, haven't you run out of cigarettes? Where did you get this one?"

Boss lady: "...get out."

Chen Yu: "..."

Boss lady: "Get away. Fuck you."

One minute later.

"Boom!"

The proprietress kicked open the store door, holding Chen Yu in one hand and BB in the other, and angrily pushed the two of them out the door: "Go away, don't come back again. Made, I'm angry just looking at you."

"Boom!!"

After that, she closed the door tightly.

After standing there blankly for about half a minute, bb raised his head and looked at Chen Yu: "Sir, you are lovelorn."

Chen Yu: "Shut up."

bb: "Ouch."

Turning back, taking a deep look at the cigarette shop through the door and window glass, Chen Yu shook his head and sighed again: "That's fine."

"Sir, do you really not care about this aunt?"

"...How could you not care?" He picked up BB and put it on his shoulders. Chen Yu bent his knees and jumped to the roof of the cigarette shop's villa. He looked around: "Whether she can leave or not is not up to her. .When I finish my work, I will forcefully take her away."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yu pulled out the long sword above BB's head and pointed straight ahead: "The tide of beasts is in that direction, right?"

"right."

"Hold tight."

"hold head high!"

"boom--"

Accompanied by the sonic boom that broke the sound barrier, Chen Yu disappeared as if in a flash.

A huge circular pit was left on the roof of the villa.

In the pit, the proprietress sitting on the bed looked at the sky silently, suddenly feeling exhausted from the inside out.

"How on earth did I know this bastard..."

"..."

"That box of cigarettes was just lost! Why are you looking for it..."

…

Time passed slowly.

Thirty minutes after Chen Yu left, two figures, one large and one small, slowly appeared in front of the cigarette shop.

"After such a long time, I'm finally back." The big figure said quietly.

"It's really interesting." The little figure shook his head from side to side: "So this is how this aunt disappeared."

"BB, just stay here. Be alert all around. I'm going in."

"I wish you a happy life~"

Ignoring the little figure's teasing, the big figure walked step by step to the glass door of the cigarette shop.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, he seemed to smell the smell of cigarettes.

This smell of smoke is called memories.

"Crack."

He stretched out his hand and put it on the cold doorknob, his figure gently exerting force...

"Creak, creak, creak -"

The glass door was slowly opened.

Take a step and enter the house. The figure put his hands in his pockets and went straight up the stairs to the living room on the second floor.

I saw the landlady repairing the roof while cursing.

"hello."

After watching for a long time, the figure suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Hearing the sound, the unsuspecting landlady suddenly turned around. When she saw the figure's face, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Dear, long time no see." The figure waved with a smile.

"You...you..." The landlady's delicate body was cold and her eyes were blank.

"After all these years, have you missed me?"

"husband……"

"Sorry, I'm late."

"impossible……"
