Chapter 9 Encounter
When Cao Bo left, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening. During this period, the old man took out a few bottles of his treasures for Cao Bo to have a try. Although the two have not been in contact for a long time, Cao Bo feels that the other party is funny and humorous, and when he is with the old man, Cao Bo can leave all his troubles behind.
And when Cao Bo left, the old man returned more than 100 yuan to Cao Bo. Of course, Cao Bo had to refuse desperately, because the price of the wine he drank here today was very high.
"Silly boy, why do you think an old man wants so much money?" The old man pointed to the bar and said, "You see, it's this time, not even a guest!" I'm very happy that you can come and accompany me. I don't have children, and I don't know who to keep the money for.
Cao Bo was stunned for a moment. Just now, he found that it was really deserted. Generally speaking, the guests should come up in the evening, but now it's almost ten o'clock, and the bar is still deserted.
"Go back quickly! If you have time, just remember to drink and chat with me, an old man!" What impressed Cao Bo was that although the old man was in such a situation, there was no loss from his expression and tone. On the contrary, he still had a strong love and optimism for life.
Cao Bo no longer refuses, because he knows that it will hurt the old man's feelings. He is even willing to give up a bottle of thousands of yuan of wine. What is he reluctant to give up a hundred and dozens of yuan?
"Don't worry, I will come to see you when I have time!" Cao Bo was a little reluctant when he went out. He looked back and saw that the old man had turned back to the room. He seemed to be in a good mood. He hummed an unknown little tune and slowly cleaned up the tables, chairs and benches. It seemed that it was about to close.
How nice would it be if a person could live a free and easy life like him? Cao Bo couldn't help sighing. At this time, he suddenly thought that he had not asked the old man's name.
But it doesn't matter, does it? Because it is enough to know that the old man is a very important protagonist in his own script.
As Cao Bo walked back, he took out the phone and took a look. He was surprised to find that there were more than a dozen unrebound calls.
When Cao Bo came out just now, he didn't want others to disturb him, so he turned the phone to mute. When he entered the bar and met the old man, Cao Bo actually forgot about this matter.
Two calls were made by Xia Menghan, and the rest of the calls were made by Deng Qi.
Cao Bo first called Xia Menghan back, and the other party's tone was still full of worry.
"Cao Bo, are you all right? Great, I finally found you!" Xia Menghan did not blame Cao Bo for not answering her phone just now, but was very gratified to hear his voice.
Cao Bo comforted the other party a few words, and then the two talked about the recent situation. Cao Bo felt that Xia Menghan always had a feeling of wanting to talk and stop.
"Do you know that?" Xia Menghan hesitated for a while and said, "Those Korean students..."
Cao Bo was silent for a moment. If it was changed to the first few hours, then Cao Bo would definitely feel very uncomfortable, but now after the old man's explanation, Cao Bo has no reason to torture himself anymore.
"Hmm." Cao Bo replied gently. Although he thought that Jin Haoyue would also feel uncomfortable, he would not blame himself.
"Are you all right?" Xia Menghan asked tentatively. Cao Bo reassured the other party that he was not so fragile. Although Xia Menghan also asked the same thing when the two people first connected to the phone, the meaning of these two sentences was different.
"Are you still in the hospital now? Jiang Gan, are they all right? I miss them all. Do you remember that we played Fight the Landlord the other day? I can always dream of it when I sleep these days. Xia Menghan's voice seemed to be afraid of Cao Bo's anger: "Can I go to see you?"
Cao Bo could hear that Xia Menghan thought that Jiang Gan and Xia Houyuan were both excuses. In fact, he still wanted to see Cao Bo when he came back.
In fact, Cao Bo also wants to see Xia Menghan now, because the matter of Jin Haoyue made Cao Bo suddenly realize that he should cherish everything he has now, otherwise he will regret it when he loses it.
How wonderful it would be if you could hold Xia Menghan's body and whisper something in her ear! And the two haven't seen each other for so long. If they meet, there will definitely be sparks...
Cao Bo, let her come. You need a woman to comfort your heart now!
A voice full of ** sounded in Cao Bo's ear: You have been depressed for long enough, do you have to vent your feelings? And I drank a little wine just now, and now it's time to...
"Are you still there?" When Cao Bo was in a trance, Xia Menghan's soft voice came from the microphone: "I promise to listen to you obediently. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I won't disturb you."
Xia Menghan's unintentional words fell into Cao Bo's ears full of infinite **, and the voice in his ear continued to deceive him: promise her that you will have a wonderful life tonight. Promise him, say it quickly...
"Jiang Gan and others are not by my side now." Cao Bo took a gentle breath and said firmly, "I'm not in the hospital now, and I won't go back for a short time. The weather has been abnormal recently. You should pay attention to your health."
"Cao Bo..." Xia Menghan paused for a moment and finally seemed to compromise: "You should also pay attention to your health. I'll go to self-study later."
After saying that, Xia Menghan hung up the phone. Cao Bo felt that the other party seemed to be a little angry, but Cao Bo felt powerless about it. If she doesn't have much contact with Jin Haoyue, she will be affected by the disaster. If the colonists find their relationship with Xia Menghan, Xia Menghan will suffer more cruelly than Jin Haoyue, which Cao Bo absolutely can't tolerate.
Cao Bo walked on the street for a few more minutes. When he adjusted his mood, he called Deng Qi.
"Thank God! You're all right!" Deng Qi's voice seemed to be more excited, and Cao Bo heard the sound of You Zhenghui and Yue Yinshi from there.
"I said, where did you go in the afternoon? We thought you were attacked!" After a brief conversation with Cao Bo, Deng Qi said in a low voice, "Just before you called, there were several colonists near the hospital, and it was similar to the last time. They scattered and fled before they were surrounded, but this time it was closer to the hospital than last time."
"How long have they been away?" Cao Bo was shocked to hear this, because he is still more than ten or twenty minutes away from the central hospital. If those colonists have just left, maybe Cao Bo will meet the guys hidden in the crowd.
Now it is obvious that Cao Bo is at a disadvantage on both sides. Even the people in the laboratory don't know who the colonists are attached to. Unless these monsters take the initiative to release their murderous spirit, they don't know where they are at all.
Now it seems that Cao Bo has exposed his appearance, otherwise he couldn't find Cao Bo at SD-019 at school last time. Since one colonist already knows Cao Bo, other colonists should also be able to recognize him, so Cao Bo's situation will become very dangerous.
"It's less than five minutes!" Deng Qi also seemed to realize something. He hurriedly said, "If you are rushing back now, find a place to hide quickly, preferably to a place with many people... No, try to find a place where there is no one to hide. If there are many people around, they are easy to disguise!"
Cao Bo stopped and looked around. His location is a commercial pedestrian street leading to the central hospital. At this time, the shops on the street are flashing neon, and each store is constantly coming and going with countless people.
This is the beginning of the nightlife, and many red men and green women take advantage of this time to come out for leisure and entertainment.
Twenty people, two hundred people, two thousand people... In Cao Bo's sight, there are thousands of pedestrians on both sides of this street! And there are a lot of buildings in this pedestrian street, and you can't leave this street unless you go out. Cao Bo's location at this time happened to be in the center of the pedestrian street, about 1,000 meters away from the entrances and exits on both sides.
"I don't think I can look back anymore..." Cao Bo gently licked his lips: "Don't worry, I will definitely go back!"
With that, Cao Bo hung up the phone, turned off the power of the mobile phone and put it in his pocket. When Cao Bo took out his right hand, the watch on his wrist kept shaking. A thumbnail of Cao Bo's position was displayed on the dial, and a line of small words was typed on it - SD-058 was 412 meters away...
Daut, it seems that that guy has found himself! Cao Bo knew that colonists would not easily expose their targets, unless they had locked the target.
The reason why the SD-058 dares to release the murderous spirit seems to be confident that it will deal with Cao Bo before the pursuit team arrives.
Cao Bo glanced in front of him according to the electronic map display. At this time, the colonist was more than 300 meters away from Cao Bo. That guy's movement speed is not very fast. It seems that he is slowly walking through the crowd. He should be worried about acting differently and revealing his identity.
Since you are afraid of being found out, I will let you not find me! Cao Bo suddenly moved, and he ran to a department store not far away.
When Cao Bo entered the building, he did not go upstairs to find a place to hide, but went underground through the rolling ladder. Because Cao Bo's school was nearby, he was very familiar with the terrain here.
Cao Bo walked all the way along the underground snack street. Although the aroma of Cao Bo came from the shops on both sides, he was not as delicious as Yue Yinshi, so although Cao Bo was a little hungry, his footsteps did not stop.
When Cao Bo came to the ground again on the rolling ladder, he had come to the clothing city opposite the department store just now. The two buildings were connected through the underground snack street just now. It was through such a route that Cao Bo wanted to get rid of the colonist.
But when Cao Bo thought that the guy would wander around in the department store, he found that the colonist sign on the watch screen was not far from him! And he is now in the middle of the department store and the clothing city!
How on earth did he find me? Cao Bo looked at the number constantly jumping on the dial in surprise, 124 meters, 109 meters, 94 meters, 81 meters...
Cao Bo is still standing at the entrance of the underground passage. Although he wants to return, he is worried that the guy will chase him from the underground passage.
Can't I get rid of you? Cao Bo decided to give up the underground passage. Since the other party chased him, he must have seen through Cao Bo's escape route. If Cao Bo goes back, he may meet the colonist.
Because Cao Bo did not know which direction the other party came from, he was actually trapped in this clothing city at this moment. Fortunately, it was big enough, otherwise Cao Bo would really risk choosing one of these two roads.
Let me see what you can do! Cao Bo wanted to turn around and run upstairs. Now it seems that it is impossible to get rid of that guy. Cao Bo is ready to meet each other in a narrow way!
