1228、Ignored people(1/2)
The magic of the Key Door is that you can't determine where that door leads to.
It may be a place you've been to, such as Chen An'an's favorite candy house.
It may also be a place you have never seen before, such as the beach where aged wine is.
This is the most anticipated part. Even you don’t know what is in that gift box.
Because not everyone knows themselves clearly, people always avoid some answers in their lives.
But Luo Lan is very confident in his heart. He has never escaped his heart. He knows every answer in his heart.
This also made him more determined.
The first moment Xu Man stepped into the Key Gate, he already knew where he was. This is... the small bungalow that Qingzhen and Luo Lan once lived in the barrier No. 111.
That year, because they treated their father, they sold their original residence and exchanged them for rent on Mule Fort Road.
This stay has been around for 8 years.
Later, Qingzhen became the shadow of Qing family, and the two brothers began to make a fortune and bought better houses, villas, and manors...
Life is getting better day by day.
Xu Man has only been here once, but he helped Qingzhen move some old items from the past.
Now that he came here again, he found that the furniture here was exactly the same as when he came here a few years ago.
Xu Man asked in confusion: "Boss Luo, why did the door open here?"
"This is my home," Luo Lan laughed happily.
"Didn't this house be rented by you before? I thought you had returned the house to the landlord," Xu Man said.
"No, I bought the house," Luo Lan said: "I usually live here when I was at Barrier No. 111. But I have too few opportunities to go back to Barrier No. 111, so you don't know."
This surprised Xu Man a little. Luo Lan, the second-ranked figure of the Qing family, actually lived in such a dilapidated place?
Luo Lan glanced at Xu Man and said, "Why, it doesn't fit my style? Don't underestimate this room. I can only sleep soundly in this room."
While talking, Luo Lan had already opened the main entrance of the small house. Outside the door was Mule Fort Road. There was an uncle pushing a car selling cold noodles at the door, with pots and jars placed on it.
Xu Man was a little surprised to see this scene. Boss Luo was so confident about his heart.
When most people in this world face the key gate, they may find it difficult to guess the answer.
Luo Lan looked at everything in the room. At that time, the three of them were curled up in this one-bedroom and one-living bungalow. The sick old man lived in the inner room, while he and Qingzhen lived in the living room.
The two of them were on the floor. If they had a fight outside during the day and sneaked back in the middle of the night, Qingzhen would have to tiptoe to bandage Luo Lan's wounds.
In winter, they must be careful to guard the coal balls at the door to prevent the neighbors from stealing the coal balls they stolen from others with great effort...
Although the days left here were richer, Luo Lan always felt that this small bungalow carried all their happiness every time she thought.
At that time, there was no shadow of the Qing family, and they did not need to consider war and politics.
The life that those old men should think about has not yet come to their lives.
You can laugh out loudly, you can carry the suffering together, and occasionally look back, and you will be embarrassed behind you. As long as you walk forward, every step will be better than in the past.
But now it seems that this is not the case. Every step is even more difficult, so Luo Lan often dares not look back, for fear that he will not be willing to continue moving forward.
"Let's go, the warriors followed later. Remember to step lighter. My floor is not strong at all," Luo Lan urged.
One hundred and eighty soldiers walked out of the house one after another and came to the streets of Mule Fort Road.
The uncle who sold cold skin was stunned. He watched more than a hundred people walk out of such a small bungalow!
Such a house that was only fifty square meters long could hold so many people? And they were all soldiers with live ammunition!
In just a moment, the uncle who bought Liangpi suddenly felt that he knew the truth: under this room, there must be a secret military base of the Qing family, the kind hidden underground in the legend!
At this time, the soldiers sighed at the magic of the Key Gate. It took them several days to go to the Central Plains, but only a few steps back.
"Sir, is this witchcraft?" The company commander of the Special Forces Company asked Xu Man.
"Well," Xu Man said: "This is the witchcraft brought back by Boss Luo from the northwest."
Speaking of this, the company commander subconsciously looked for Luo Lan's figure with his eyes, but Luo Lan was gone.
"Where is Boss Luo?" the company commander exclaimed.
The alert Xu Man didn't say a word of nonsense, and turned around and rushed into the room, but there was no Luo Lan in this small room?
Xu Man remembered that they walked out of the wall opposite the TV in the living room, so they hurriedly touched the wall.
However, there is no key door on the wall at this moment. It has been closed from another direction by Luo Lan!
Xu Man stood on this side of the wall and took a deep breath. The other party pretended to be calm and deceived them all back to Barrier No. 111. In fact, he wanted to return to Barrier No. 61 alone to save Zhou Qi.
This secret gate was given to Luo Lan by Ren Xiaosu privately, so Xu Man and others actually didn't know the principle of this witchcraft.
Luo Lan once remembered that what his ex-president Xiaosu seriously explained: Although this key gate is two-way, if you use it as a means of escape, it will also have disadvantages.
If all of them come to the No. 111 barrier through the key gate of the bridge pillar, and if someone directly destroys the Qianlingjiang Bridge, all of them who pass through the key gate will fall out again.
So Ren Xiaosu explained at that time: "If this key door is used to escape, you must ask others to open this key door for you. Then he twists it counterclockwise from the outside of the door for ten times, and the door completely disappeared, and the person who entered could not return to the other end of the door."
The key door has a way to open it, and naturally it also has a way to destroy it. Ten turns clockwise is to open it, and ten turns counterclockwise is to destroy it.
However, this way of escaping is destined to be one person who will stay outside the door on the way to escape and watch others leave.
This person is destined to sacrifice.
But Luo Lan never told Xu Man and others about this. In Luo Lan's opinion, if there is really someone who sacrifices himself to protect others in this plan, then he must do this by himself.
Moreover, it was his own business that he wanted to save Zhou Qi. Those 180 soldiers had old men and young men, so why bother to go to life with him?
There is no need to let others pay for the risks you want to take.
Luo Lan knew very well that if he had insisted on saving Zhou Qi before, the soldiers would have to follow him to die.
"Masters, there is no reason to let others sacrifice," Luo Lan muttered.
He didn't want Xu Man and others to take risks with him, but he had to save Zhou Qi.
Although that bad bastard always likes to tease him, although the other party only loves money, that is his friend.
Luo Lan knew that if Zhou Qi really only recognized the money, then the artificial intelligence server unit in the barrier No. 61 will not be blown up.
The explosion time was wrong.
He looked at the destroyed key gate and turned toward the off-road vehicle that was parked next to him.
However, at this moment, the trunk of an off-road vehicle suddenly opened.
"Is it a surprise? Is it an accident?" Qing Laosan spit out the dust in his mouth while crawling out of the trunk.
Luo Lan stood there in a daze: "Wait, have you not entered the key door just now?"
Qing Laosan laughed happily and said, "I knew that no one would care about my life or death. Hello, I'm so happy that I called you big brother. Don't you pay attention to whether I've been in after entering the door? It's really sad."
Indeed, as Qing Lao San said, his role is to come to Zhongyuan to pretend to be Qingzhen. Once this task is completed, he will not be of much value. A substitute may only be used once.
Moreover, artificial intelligence zero has proved that it has the ability to distinguish between the ontology and the stand-in, so the value of Qing Lao San has been reduced again.
So much so that after Xu Man and the others returned to Barrier No. 111, they even forgot to see if Qing Laosan had followed him.
This is a person who is ignored by everyone. The other party hid it in the trunk at some point and waited for Luo Lan to come back.
At this time, Qing Laosan had already started to take out the gun from the trunk on his own: "How many heroes are there in your temple of heroic spirits? Get ready to save the firearms."
There were also reserved ammunition in the trunk. Xu Man wanted to take it away before, but Luo Lan said that he should not waste time, and guns and ammunition were not worth much money.
"You stayed here just to save Zhou Qi with me?" Luo Lan was puzzled: "How did you know I would definitely come back? If you don't come back, what would you do?"
"If you haven't come back, I'll drive back to the southwest by myself. What else can I do?" Qing Laosan smiled and said, "But I know you will come back. Even if Zhou Qi is really dead, you probably want to confirm it yourself. When I was on the fire, I'm not only studying Qingzhen, but also studying you."
"Study me?" Luo Lan muttered while gathering all the firearms of all the vehicles into a car: "Why do I feel like you are very idle when you are on the fire. You either study this or which one? Don't you play mahjong with your friends or landlords or something?"
Qing Laosan smiled and did not answer this question.
"Okay, since you are not afraid of death, then go with me to save people," Luo Lan said.
Qing Laosan suddenly said, "Didn't you always ask me why I went to the southwest? Maybe I'll have a chance to tell you this time."
...
On the mountain road two hundred kilometers northwest of the barrier No. 61, Ren Xiaosu silently looked at the vanilla and Tang Hualong in front of him.
Ren Xiaosu's hair was messy and his clothes were dirty.
This time, Zero control dusk attack was too explosive, and the steam train was split into two, just like the shadow Lao Xu was hit in the middle of the eyebrows. He had to wait for it to condense again before using it again.
Along the way, Ren Xiaosu ran over, but later he thought he was not fast enough, so he even asked Lao Xu to carry him away.
Fortunately, at dusk, he slapped Lao Xu with a palm, but did not touch his deadly head.
At present, the two men, Vanilla and Tang Hualong, were one in front and one behind, and the former vaguely protected the latter behind.
During the stalemate, hundreds of steel needles were around the vanilla, which was constantly rotating around the body, and on the small stove in front of Tang Hualong, the sugar had been boiled into the color of amber.
The old man named Tang was stirring in a hot pot with a huge iron spoon, as if he was about to scoop out a spoonful of sugar from it and splash it onto the smooth iron plate beside him.
"Who asked you to stop me?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
