Chapter 617

Translator: Doggotranslation Editor: Doggotranslation

Getting out of the city was not an easy task, the streets were full of “refugees” trying to squeeze into the city from outside, not to mention that there were military checkpoints everywhere.

Fortunately, the license plate number of the military vehicle helped Chu YunSheng a lot. After all, it was Fang Baixiao’s car. Many soldiers even saluted the car when they saw it, so basically, no one stopped him.

On the way, Chu Yunsheng found that the military and the government had already started to take action. The first thing he saw was that they had already sent many cars to drive along the roadside to broadcast the message using megaphones.

They were asking all the residents to stay calm, and do not panic or believe in any rumors. Residents needed to fully cooperate with the government’s arrangements in an orderly manner, and they should not give people, who had bad ideas, a chance to create troubles.

Moreover, they also required each household or family to register with the government or the military that were stationed in their neighborhood. Every family and household in the same neighborhood should do their best to help each other while waiting for further instructions from the government and the military.

And lastly, they urged everyone to have faith in the government and believe in the military. They already had scientific disaster prevention measures, and they had a modernized military. No matter what would happen, they had the ability and determination to lead people to go through difficult times.

...

At the same time, many work teams were also sent to various communities. Nanjing was a provincial capital city and had a large population in city. Coupled with the people, who came from other places recently, although it hasn’t reached the peak number the city had in the dark age, the number was still very alarming. If the government and the military didn’t prepare properly, and if the evacuation and transfer work were not arranged in an orderly manner, once all the people came out of their houses, even the highway would be completely blocked by people, let alone regular streets. At that time, who knows how chaotic it would be and how many people would die.

Moreover, a disorderly retreat was extremely inefficient. It would cause the people in Shanghai also couldn’t carry out their plans in an orderly manner. At that time, the security problem alone would be enough troubles for the government to handle.

Chu Yunsheng thought to himself that if it weren’t for the citizens of Nanjing, who were staring at the military area command, making it impossible for the military area command and the government to take any secret actions, the scene of the chaos caused by the anger of the citizens during the retreat of Shanghai would definitely repeat itself.

Fortunately, there were still more than twenty days, and it was just enough to arrange the retreat. Compared with the retreat from Shanghai to Nanjing outside the Pseudo-Monolith, the people here were much luckier. After all, almost all the people who retreated from Shanghai outside the Pseudo-Monolith were dead.

However, other places were not so lucky, especially the places where there were no troops. Most of the local governments all chose to stay silent.

Because if they responded to the civilian’s questions, they would have to tell the truth that Shanghai could not take so many people. If they didn’t tell the truth, and if they lied about it, their lie would lead to the death of many lives. No one wanted to bear the responsibility of this. Therefore, some people chose to take the people on the list and left secretly, others chose to stay silent.

There were even places where communications and networks were deliberately cut off, just like the Yangtze River dam water discharge incident, if they were still insisting on going to Shanghai, those local governments would neither support nor discourage them, but whatever would happen to them, would not be their problems.

Luo Guolong felt very gloomy today. They all said that it was the end of the world. But goddammit why couldn’t he still find a wife at the end of the world?

There were so many blind dates these two days, and many people rushed to get married(1). This morning he deliberately dressed up carefully. Wearing a suit and leather shoes, and gelling his hair, making it look so shiny, he participated in the great doomsday blind date in his town with full of confidence.

However, who would have thought all he got from this trip was disappointment and sadness.

“Uncle, you are too old!”

“You are not my favorite type, I’m sorry, I value love at first sight highly.”

“I want to find someone taller.”

“Your skin is too dark, my standard is not high, but at least my boyfriend should look comfortable.”

“Money is useless now, are you related to anyone in the army?”

“Didn’t you say that you are a farmer? How could there be no food at your home! It is not about being materialistic or not. Now it’s the end of the world. Without food, Who would marry you?”

“My mother said that my future husband must have enough food at home. If you don’t have enough food, my family will definitely disagree with our marriage.”

...

Under the streetlights of the town, Lu Guolong felt hungry. While eating peanuts and drinking alcohol, he gazed at a granary far away and cursed angrily at it, “Baldy Li, why can you marry a girl? You are just a temporary worker at the granary. What is there to be proud of? Besides, you are able to work there only because you are related to the Granary Master Wang? But that grain belongs to the country, not your old Li’s family! You are nothing but a thief! I hope you all die miserably!”

“Big Lu, watch your dog’s mouth, who are you cursing at?” A relative of Baldy Li just happened to walk past the place where he was crouching. Hearing he was cursing at his relative, she shouted angrily.

“Who am I cursing at?” seeing that the person was Baldy Li’s younger brother’s wife, Lu Guolong didn’t want to create troubles, but his mouth was very stubborn, “it is none of your business! I wasn’t cursing at you anyway.”

“Bullshit! I heard you were cursing at our big brother just now, you shameless liar!” Baldy Li’s female relative said angrily.

“Who said I was cursing at him?” As the saying goes, alcohol will give people courage. As the alcohol started to react in his body, Lu Guolong raised his voice and said, “I am cursing at our country’s parasite! That bastard is stealing our country’s food! I am cursing at that shameless person! Don’t assume that I’m talking about some people!”

The woman was extremely furious, “you! Who is a parasite! Who stole our country’s food? Let me tell you, if you dare spread rumors again, I’ll break your tongue!”

“I wasn’t talking about you, why are you so angry? Ah, I see! You are scared because I was telling the truth!” All the resentments that had been built up since the past made Lu Guolong say it even louder.

“You, you really have some gut! Don’t you dare run away!” The woman was so angry that she started to shout someone’s name, “Biaozi! Biaozi!”

Lu Guolong raised the bottle of alcohol in his hand, and said bravely, “what? Calling people to help you? Do you think I’ll be scared? Come at me! Whoever runs away is a bastard!”

As soon as Lu Guolong finished speaking, he saw a brawny young man come out of the group that had also attended the blind date in the town, and ran towards him, “what’s the matter?”

Looking at the hill-like young man, the alcohol was instantly cleared from his mind. There was no way he would be able to beat this guy. He had to run away.

Seeing that he wanted to slip away, the woman immediately rushed up, grabbed the collar of Lu Guolong, and quickly sat on the ground while dragging him downward, so that Lu Guolong, the bastard, would not run away, “don’t you dare run away! You bastard!”

Seeing this, the brawny young man mistook that Lu Guolong was beating the woman, so he immediately jumped up and shouted angrily, “How dare you beat my mom!”

Lu Guolong panicked, but he still didn’t want to lose his face, so he quickly said, “You, let go of me, let go of me, I didn’t touch you!”

Before he finished talking, Biaozi rushed up, threw a heavy punch at his face, making him suddenly feel as if the world around him was spinning.

It was really painful. It was even more painful than carrying a cement bag on the construction site. He even spat out blood after the punch. Unable to endure the pain, he stumbled back and fell over.

Biaozi’s mother stood up with her face full of satisfaction. She spat on the ground, looked at Lu Guolong in disgust, and scolded, “you got what you deserved, bastard. A useless person like you should deserve to be single for a lifetime, quickly get out of my sight. You are making my eyes dirty.”

Lu Guolong felt extremely offended. There was a fire burning fiercely inside him. He had never been hit this hard by anyone before. It was so painful that he even broke into tears. And then the sharp remark of Bao Zi’s mother, it was like adding fuel to the fire. The alcohol effect in his mind had completely disappeared, and his blood instantly rushed into his head. Quickly getting up from the ground, he held his bleeding face with one hand and pointed at Baozi and his mother with an alcohol bottle, and said, “Do you dare say one more time! Do you dare!”

Bao Zi’s mom was not scared at all. With her muscular son standing next to her, she said sarcastically, “Was I wrong? Just take a look at yourself! Yes, my big brother is remarried, so what? He is still better than you, who never has a woman in your life! Is that wrong too?”

Being provoked by Bao Zi’s mother’s words and triggered by the blood in his mouth, Lu Guolong felt like he was losing his mind. Brandishing the alcohol bottle in his hand fiercely, he shouted loudly, “I will kill you!”

After he finished speaking, he rushed forward as if he was really going to kill them.

However, he was still afraid of Biao Zi’s fist, after all. When he rushed halfway, he suddenly stopped and no longer dared to move forward again. Holding the bottle while panting, although he was very angry, he did not dare to say a single word.

In the distance, the people, who came back from the blind date, heard the noises and began to gather around to see what happened. There were also people, who were familiar with them, wanted to stop the fight. But soon, all the noises were buried in the noises of mockeries, criticisms, and gossip.

In those noises, the words like “forever bachelor”, “pervert”, “useless man”, and “liar”, etc. appeared very often.

Everyone was talking to each other about something they had heard or something they had already known about Lu Guolong. Whenever someone said something about him, Lu Guolong would look at that person, and as more and more people started to talk about him, he began to glance around even more quickly. Soon, he felt that the world around him began to spin, and he felt very difficult to breathe. All he could hear was the muffled noises, and all he could see were blurry images of everyone opening their mouths and closing their mouths.

He wanted to dig into the ground and hide far away from them. He really did not understand why this would happen to him. He just wanted a partner, a person he could spend the rest of his life with. What was wrong with that?

Suddenly, an ear-piercing car braking sound appeared behind the crowd. It silenced all the noises.

Then people saw an off-road military vehicle with a military license plate parked under the street light. After the vehicle stopped, a thirty-year-old thin man jumped off the vehicle. When he got off the vehicle, he shouted excitedly, “Boss Lu, Boss Lu? Where are you? An officer from the military is looking for you!”

Then, Chu Yunsheng stepped out of the vehicle, turned around, and quietly looked at Lu Guolong, who was being stared at by everyone like a clown in the center of the crowd.

In “One Thousand and One Nights”. There was a story about a fisherman and a Jinni. In the story, the Jinni trapped in a copper jar by Solomon for hundreds of years wished that someone could free him. In total, he swore four times. For the first hundred years of his imprisonment, he swore to enrich the person who freed him forever, but nobody freed him. For the second century of his imprisonment, he swore to grant his liberator great wealth, but nobody freed him. After another century, he swore to grant three wishes to the person who freed him, yet nobody did so. After four hundred years of imprisonment, the jinni became enraged and swore to grant the person who freed him a choice of deaths.

So the fisherman appeared...

Of course, the ending of the story was that the Jinni was finally free, and the fisherman was rewarded, and then everyone lived happily ever after.

However, while most people praised the fisherman for his wisdom, many people failed to understand the Jinni’s psychological changes in the jar throughout four hundred years. He changed his oath again and again, but every time, all he got was disappointment after disappointment. So in the end, his mind gradually became twisted, and started to curse everything, including his own fate and the person, who saved him.

Chu Yunsheng had a similar experience before. Fate once pushed him into desperation, again and again, making him unable to see any trace of hope. He also once cursed God for giving him such a miserable life to vent his desperation and anger.

So he understood how Lu Guolong, who was forced into a “desperate situation” felt at this moment.

In the dark age, Chu Yunsheng was not familiar with Lu Guolong. Compared with the Ice And Fire Combat Team, Lu Guolong was only a small fry in the office building. So when he once told Chu YunSheng that his only dream was to find a wife, Chu YunSheng didn’t quite understand it.

Only until today and only until Chu YunSheng personally saw what kind of environment he was in and how everyone treated him did he finally understand why he would have a strange complex about having a wife.

And Lu Guolong’s strange complex was so strong that it was almost equivalent to the fourth stage of Jinni’s mentality.

So Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to be Lu Guolong’s “fisherman”, because he didn’t think that he would have the fisherman’s wisdom.

However, there was something else he had, and that thing was even more powerful. It was “Solomon’s power”.

When the Jinni was just freed from the jar, the first thing he said was, “Please don’t kill me, Solomon, In the future, I will definitely obey your orders.”

Chu Yunsheng needed Lu Guolong to obey all his orders obediently, so using the “Solomon power” was the quickest way and the most effective way.

The attention of the crowd was distracted because of Chu Yunsheng’s appearance. For those people, seeing a military vehicle appearing in a remote town like this in this kind of time period, it was almost as shocking as seeing the party leader inspecting the rural area personally.

What was more shocking was that, according to the skinny man who came out of the car first, they were here for Lu Guolong.

In the crowd, those who knew Lu Guolong, immediately started to guess if someone in the old Lu family was working in the military.

If he indeed had someone in the military, then in the town and several villages around the town, this was the most shocking news.

Some people have already begun to regret it. Why would they join the gossip? If they hadn’t offended Lu Guolong just now, this would have been a perfect opportunity for them to get close to him.

But who would have thought that a guy like him would know someone in the military?

Some people, out of envy, thought that Lu Guolong must have done something illegal, and the man was definitely here to arrest him.

Otherwise, why would someone from the military look for an old bachelor with no background?

Compared with all kinds of envious feelings of onlookers, what Biao Zi and his mother felt at the moment was only fear. Since ancient times, people were afraid of fighting authorities, let alone fighting with the military. Although Biao Zi looked much stronger than Chu Yunsheng, when Chu Yunsheng glanced at him, Biao Zi immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Yunsheng.

Sometimes the status and identities could also scare people, although it was only proved by a military vehicle.

As Chu Yunsheng walked up to Lu Guolong in the crowd, people automatically made way for him. The skinny man quickly grabbed Lu Guolong’s hand, pointed Chu YunSheng, and said, “Boss Lu, You are very lucky. The office from the military wants to send you to Nanjing.”

“What Nanjing?” Lu Guolong covered his bleeding face with his hand and said. He was still feeling dizzy at the moment.

“Lu Guolong?” Chu Yunsheng didn’t ask him nicely just because he was someone he knew in the past. Instead, he treated it as a serious business and asked him sternly.

It has been a very long time since the last time he met him, so even if he did not have blood on his face, it would still take him some time to remember him, let alone his face was now covered with blood.

“Yes, yes, I am, officer.” After being pushed by the skinny man a few times, Lu Guolong finally came back to himself and said nervously.

He didn’t know what kind of officer Chu Yunsheng was. With his social status, the most important person he had ever seen in his life was the town chief. But hearing the skinny man said that the man was from the military, and he was even driving a military vehicle, he knew that this person must be much more important than the town chief.

“Do you have any other relatives in the family?” Although Chu Yunsheng wanted to intimidate him, he would still give him the benefit he deserved.

At this time, before Lu Guolong even said anything, the skinny man next to him immediately said, “yes, yes, yes. officer, we are cousins, he also has an old uncle, and several aunties are still alive, a very big family...” The man said very quickly as if he was scared that Lu Guolong would interrupt him.

“Let him speak for himself.” Chu Yunsheng said with a deep voice: “Are there any immediate family members?”

The people next to him finally realized that the military officer did not seem to have any relationship with Lu Guolong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used this kind of tone to talk to him.

Then, there was only one possibility left. Lu Guolong must have made some big mistake, and the military officer probably wanted to inform his family member.

Thinking of this, some people in the crowd suddenly burst out laughing and mocked, “no one, he is the only person left in his family, and his parents have already passed away.”

Chu Yunsheng ignored them and got straight to the point, “Can you still walk by yourself? If you can, then get in the car! ”
