Chapter 345: Desolation
Huh...
A cold wind blew, and Ye Lan opened his eyes.
Then, he was stunned.
He had a deep impression that the next scene of Shadow of the Past was the interior of Glory City.
He entered Shadow of the Past, so he should be in Glory City.
But...
Ye Lan frowned.
It was so dilapidated...
There was no one coming and going, the road was empty, and the surroundings were empty, as if there were only ghostly houses.
It was a quiet night, and the sight was bleak. There were traces of ruins after the hail of bullets, like a battlefield in the past.
It was even more dilapidated than the sewage town sixty years ago, isn't that outrageous?
Although there are still tall buildings everywhere, the sewage town at that time at least had people and the smell of fireworks.
Crash.
Ye Lan's ears moved, and there seemed to be very slight and hidden footsteps in the corner not far behind him.
Ye Lan did not sense any premonition of danger, pretending not to know, and still stood there.
Whoosh!
There was a very fast sound of wind in my ears, which was very fast for ordinary people.
The man rushed over, grabbed his side pocket with lightning speed, took out something, turned around and ran, and disappeared into the alley again in a moment.
Ye Lan looked down and raised his eyebrows.
There was only some food there.
Bang!
Seeing that man disappear into the shadows, Ye Lan shot out the hook gun and followed him leisurely.
What do you mean, you want to get rid of me like this?
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After following him all the way, the other party was basically circling in this building. Ye Lan chased him until he lost some patience, and the other party suddenly rushed away from this building complex.
Ye Lan continued to follow leisurely and finally entered other blocks.
According to the geographical location of the real world, this is already one of the most luxurious mansions in the upper city. The man climbed up the high building and entered the room on the tenth floor.
Ye Lan then stopped at the door of the room and thought about the plan.
But after thinking about it, it was better to rush in directly now, so as to give the other party the greatest sense of oppression.
Bang bang!
Ye Lan fired two shots at the keyhole of the door lock, then kicked the door open with a bang and walked in leisurely.
Then, he was slightly stunned.
In the room, the middle-aged man who stole things from him had already opened the food, and without heating it, he fed it to a little girl on the bed.
The girl was undressed, her forehead was red, and she didn't know if she had a fever. She looked extremely weak.
Ye Lan's leisurely expression froze a little, and he quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.
The food has been cut off for many days, and the baby is going to starve to death?
Alas.
Ye Lan quickly went through his thoughts, drew his gun and pressed forward a few steps, but he didn't interrupt the girl's eating, just pointed at the middle-aged man, showing his signature villain smile.
Since he came here like this, and he provoked him first, he might as well pretend to be a villain.
I can't go to the Shadow of the Past and work myself to death to save the world like I did in the Sewage Town, right?
I can't bear it! I have to save the world in this reality and save it again in the illusion of history?
Of course, I won't hurt the innocent.
But... isn't it enough to scare them?
"Shh..."
Ye Lan put a finger on his lips to the middle-aged man and tapped his mouth:
"Be quiet, don't scare the child."
The middle-aged man looked gray and knelt on the spot.
"Sir, raise your hands, raise your hands! I shouldn't have stolen from you. I really can't live anymore."
"Please let my daughter go. I am willing to die to appease your anger."
It's as if the girl can live if you die now...
Ye Lan squinted his mouth and sighed in his heart. He didn't have any interest in scaring the other party.
After entering the Shadow of the Past, the first person who attacked him was thought to be a big fish, but he was just an ordinary person.
"Don't let the child choke to death." Ye Lan threw away the water bag on his body and wandered around the room leisurely.
After a while, he stopped at a table with an exquisite calendar on it.
"Thirty years of the end of the world..."
Ye Lan narrowed his eyes. This time point was exactly the same as what he had guessed.
The problem is that at this time point, Guanghui City has experienced thirty years of development. Shouldn't it be in its heyday? Why is it like this?
There are not many people. The rest are just like those who just entered the end of the world, fighting for such a trivial resource.
This location is the upper city?
Why has it never been mentioned, and there is no such record in history?
Ye Lan walked around again and looked at the display of these daily necessities. It can be preliminarily judged that this is not a house they entered casually, but their own residence.
Although it is old, many collections can be seen to be relatively precious, not to mention that this area is also very core in terms of the geographical location of Guanghui City.
"Your original life should have been quite decent, right?" Ye Lan asked casually, "How did it become like this? I came to Glory City decades ago, and it should have been very prosperous."
The middle-aged man seemed to be reminded of past memories by Ye Lan's words, revealing sadness and bitterness.
"Yeah... I did have a good life, but it all collapsed suddenly."
Ye Lan frowned, pulled down a chair, placed the loaded revolver on it, and leaned on the chair.
"What do you know?"
Looking at the muzzle of the gun that was placed very casually and actually pointed at him, the middle-aged man hesitated to speak.
"A lot of things happened, I don't know where to start..."
Ye Lan did not show his kindness, and pointed to the food in the child's hand.
"This is your reward. If you satisfy me, I will not pursue it."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and life had hope again.
"A week ago, the entire city of Glory City stopped all energy supply. The official said that the equipment was damaged and needed three days of maintenance, but today is the seventh day."
"It was okay at the beginning, but as time passed, everyone knew that the energy of Glory City had been exhausted."
Ye Lan was thoughtful.
The endless energy of Glory City seemed to come from the Glory Disk, and now, before entering this building, Ye Lan also looked up at the sky.
There was a blue sky above his head, and there was no Glory Disk yet.
