Chapter 1412 Sharp Contrast

Hearing Shi Xinxin's slightly threatening question, Li Luo quickly covered his mouth with both hands and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

But that smile was like a flood that burst through the dam, pouring out from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, saying:

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and his body was leaning forward and backward.

Seeing this, Shi Xinxin stood up angrily, moved lightly, and moved directly to the seat next to Li Luo. She hugged her waist with both hands like a snake, and her fingers began to creak, and she said coquettishly:

"Make you laugh, make you laugh!"

Li Luo twisted his body and begged for mercy while laughing. His laughter came intermittently:

"Haha, stop it, Xinxin, I was wrong."

Lu Jingcheng and Chu Yuanqing were infected by their lively performance. Lu Jingcheng had a doting smile on his face, and his hands holding the steering wheel were trembling slightly, while Chu Yuanqing had curved eyebrows and a gentle smile in her eyes.

For a moment, the car was filled with laughter and warmth.

When the noise gradually faded away like a tide, Li Luo calmed down, sat up straight, cleared his throat, and began to recount the interesting events of the past with a smile of nostalgia in his eyes:

"You don't know, Xinxin insisted on climbing the Great Wall in high heels in order to take beautiful photos. I tried to persuade her in every possible way, and my lips were almost worn out. But she said that climbing the Great Wall couldn't be difficult, it was just like climbing stairs. But when she really climbed up, she was immediately dumbfounded. Not long after climbing, she was exhausted and panting, her face flushed, and her feet hurt. Then she cried and shouted for me to find a solution for her. How could I find a solution! Before we set off, I suggested that she carry a pair of hiking shoes so that she could change into them when she was tired. In the end, she was still not happy, saying that it was too troublesome to carry a pair of shoes when going out to play."

Shi Xinxin listened at the side, her cheeks slightly flushed, like a shy sunset glow in the sky, but she still stubbornly retorted:

"Who knew the steps of the Great Wall were so long and steep? I didn't know much about it before."

Li Luo rolled his eyes at her, as if to say, "Just keep talking tough," and then said:

"Luckily, there were some old Beijing cloth shoes for sale in the shops near the tourist spot, so I quickly paid for some and put them on. But, just think about it, she was wearing a beautiful floral dress, but she was wearing a pair of black old Beijing cloth shoes. That combination was simply a 'mudslide' in the fashion world. I couldn't stop laughing the whole way. After climbing the Great Wall for a whole day, my legs didn't feel tired, but my stomach hurt from laughing."

Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and the laughter echoed all around.

Lu Jingcheng shook his head slightly and said jokingly:

"It seems that this trip to the Great Wall has left you with deep memories."

Chu Yuanqing smiled and put his arm around Shi Xinxin's shoulders, patted her gently, and said:

"My daughter Xinxin has such a unique personality and she is very hardworking for beauty."

Shi Xinxin glared at him in reproach, her eyes full of amorous feelings, and said:

"It's all for the sake of taking nice photos and leaving a wonderful memory."

Li Luo nodded repeatedly, like pounding garlic, to show his agreement:

"But having said that, although the process was a bit funny, the trip to the Great Wall was still very happy. We saw magnificent scenery on the Great Wall. The continuous mountains were like a winding dragon. We felt the weight of history, as if we were traveling through thousands of years. And Xinxin walked very fast in those cloth shoes, and took a lot of beautiful photos."

Shi Xinxin seemed to have recalled some good memories. She took out her cell phone again and flipped through the album with her fingers briskly, showing other photos to everyone.

There is a photo of her and Li Luo standing side by side on the beacon tower, looking into the distance, their hair fluttering in the wind, their eyes full of longing for the future.

There are individual photos of them leaning against the city wall with bright smiles on their faces. That smile is as bright as the sun, as if it could dispel all the haze in the world.

The two girls in the photo are in the prime of their youth. Despite the small episode, their happiness and innocence shine through the screen like a spring breeze, infecting everyone.

At this time, the atmosphere in the car became more relaxed and happy, and everyone continued their journey home with laughter, as if the darkness and danger outside were far away isolated by the warmth and beauty of this car, leaving only this small world full of joy and memories.

In this difficult time at the end of the world, such a warm and beautiful scene is particularly precious.

They find warmth in memories and draw strength from each other's company.

Li Luo looked at the endless darkness outside the car window, but a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart because of the beautiful memories and the friends around him.

She knows very well that the road ahead is still long and full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as they support each other, they will be able to move forward bravely.

Lu Jingcheng sat steadily in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring intently at the winding mountain road ahead.

Occasionally, he would sideways glance at the people in the car, looking at those faces immersed in joy, and his heart could not help but filled with layers of emotion.

My thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the days when I was in City B. Life was peaceful and beautiful back then, and the daily trivialities were filled with a sense of stability and well-being.

In comparison, the current apocalyptic scene is filled with the breath of death and despair. The beauty of the past seems even more precious, and it makes him cherish the brief and rare warm time in front of him even more.

Chu Yuanqing and Shi Xinxin sat in the back seat, leaning against each other, their thoughts already immersed in the good memories of the past.

They seemed to be leisurely sailing in the long river of memories, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of the outside world were temporarily forgotten. At this moment, only those warm old times were shining brightly.

The vehicle moved slowly along the winding mountain road. Outside the window were steep mountain walls, jagged rocks, and weeds growing tenaciously between the cracks in the rocks.

In the valley, the dense woods swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds.

The two armored vehicles were like steel behemoths, moving firmly towards their destination on this somewhat lonely road.

The laughter inside the car formed a sharp contrast with the slightly bleak scenery outside.

The Jinling base is located in the mountainous area in the north of the city. This time they headed to City B and headed north.

Thanks to the relatively flat national highway and the good performance of the vehicle, the armored vehicle sped along the road like an arrow for about two hours and successfully arrived at the border between City N and its neighboring city T to the north.

However, at this moment, it seemed as if a pair of invisible giant hands were stirring the sky wantonly.

Although it was already a period of eternal night with no light all around, one could still feel an oppressive darkness spreading rapidly.

The dark clouds rolled in like a surging black tide.

The already dark sky was wrapped up layer by layer, making it even more airtight, as if swallowing the entire world into an endless dark abyss.
