Chapter 64: Returning Home
Wang Xiaoer resisted the urge to cry, but the pictures in the dream in his mind surfaced again and again, saying that the more he worried about something, the more he would come, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he was really afraid that the dream would come true.
Thinking about it, the anxious Wang Xiaoer couldn't help but increase the accelerator under his feet, and at the same time, unconsciously, his eyes began to cry. As he got closer and closer to home, Wang Xiaoer didn't even dare to hit the scattered zombies again, for fear of seeing his father in case.
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and finally the car came to the main road in front of my house, after all, this is a remote small county, to be precise, it is a town, there are not many people in the whole town, and the general buildings in the town are only five floors. Even the three-story building is everywhere, which shows how many people there are here.
But in a small town with such a small population, the wide main road where cars are rarely seen is usually everywhere at this time, and there are even zombies in some cars.
Wang Xiaoer took a deep breath and calmed down before getting out of the car and walking to his home.
Wang Xiaoer's family lives on the top floor of this small three-story building. The reason why this building is three floors is because this building was built relatively early, it was built in the nineties of the last century, at that time there were not many buildings in China, and the basic people who could live in this kind of building were officials, or ** working personnel, and this building in this town was considered a small town attraction at that time.
But now, this three-story building is on the side of the main road, but it looks a bit thin.
Wang Xiaoer walked to the door of the unit and was surprised to find that the door of the unit was intact, which seemed incompatible with the end of the world. This building has two units in one unit, one on the left and one on the right, and each unit has three floors, with a total of six households.
After walking into the corridor, I went up two floors in a row, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and the anti-theft doors of the four households on the two floors were good, and the entire corridor was as clean as ever, as if nothing had happened.
Finally arrived on the third floor, on the left hand side was Wang Xiaoer's home, and on the right hand side was an old grandmother who lived alone, Wang Xiaoer had hardly seen her. At this time, the third floor is also the same as the two floors below, clean and tidy, as if nothing has happened.
Wang Xiaoer tried his best to suppress the violent heartbeat that was about to pop out, took out the key, opened the security door, and slowly walked in. After a while, the living room, bedroom, and bathroom were all searched, but my father was nowhere to be found.
My father's usual life is very clean, and the room is also very tidy, and Wang Xiaoer inherited his father's characteristics, and the same is true. Now the whole house is just like when Wang Xiaoer usually lives with his father, but he can't see his father.
Wang Xiaoer looked at it carefully inside and out, and there was nothing abnormal, but his father was not at home, and this scene made Wang Xiaoer feel for a moment, as if his father would come back after going out to buy vegetables.
After arriving home, he lay in bed and waited for hours, and the whole world seemed to freeze, and of course there was no such thing as a father suddenly opening the door and coming in.
Wang Xiaoer, who couldn't wait, thought of another possibility, "Could it be that when my father went out, something happened?" , it's not impossible.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoer immediately went downstairs and searched all the places around, the stadium where his father went to walk, the nearby school, and even a big vegetable market, Wang Xiaoer searched for it, and after killing all the zombies in the vegetable market, he confirmed that he didn't see his father.
"That's strange, where did my father go?", Wang Xiaoer, who had no clues for the time being, could only return home first.
Wang Xiaoer's college was in a foreign country, and after graduating from college in four years, he began to drift north again, so to speak, since he went to school in other places, Wang Xiaoer has hardly come back.
Now I finally have time to take a closer look at this house, this house that has traces of life is called home.
Looking at this and there, and at the same time looking for some clues left by his father, looking at it, Wang Xiaoer suddenly remembered that there was a special place in this house that he had never been to - he had never been there for more than 20 years.
This room was built relatively early, and buildings built in that era generally had a basement, which was not indoor, but outdoor. It is said that it is a basement, in fact, it is a "well" that goes straight up and down, a total of less than four squares, it is used to store cabbage, potatoes and other foods during the winter, this kind of food is not afraid of freezing, even if it is frozen, it can still be cooked normally, but with the improvement of living standards, this basement is almost forgotten and no one uses it.
Usually, you have to climb up and down the stairs from the entrance, so it's even less useful.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoer immediately sat up, regardless of the fact that it was already dark now, and went straight downstairs.
This basement is downstairs next to the edge of the main road, each basement is covered with a cover, open the lid to see the ladder leading to the bottom, the basement is more than two meters deep, you can see the bottom at a glance during the day, but now the sky is dark, there are no street lights, Wang Xiaoer does not have any lighting equipment.
Wang Xiaoeryi was bold, lifted the lid, and jumped in at once, not caring if there were zombies at all.
Since no one has come down here all year round - at least in Wang Xiaoer's impression, he and his father have never come down. No one has been here for decades, and there is usually occasional rain leaking down, and the ground is already a little damp, Wang Xiaoer feels wet under his feet when he comes, and he can even step on the sound of water.
But he couldn't see his fingers in his sight.
Wang Xiaoer simply closed his eyes, but he never felt even the slightest energy fluctuation around him, at least there was no living thing in the basement.
Subsequently, Wang Xiaoshou touched the wall and slowly groped inside from the side. When he walked to the innermost wall, Wang Xiaoer subconsciously said "Huh?". Because this wall is hollow, although Wang Xiaoer can't open the awakening state now, his physical fitness is still far beyond ordinary people, it seems that he has a hand on the wall, in fact, Wang Xiaoer is secretly working hard every other distance. If it is a solid wall, it will be very strong, at most there is a small depression at the finger, but the one-meter-wide position in the middle of the innermost wall was actually pressed into it by Wang Xiaoersheng.
After discovering that it was hollow, Wang Xiaoer exerted a little more force, and with a "boom~", a pitch-black hole appeared in front of him, which could only accommodate one person to pass through.
Wang Xiaoer hesitated for a moment, but thought about it, after all, it was his own underground, and there would definitely be no outsiders, and then he looked at the two tattoos on the index fingers on his two hands-Xiaohong Xiaolan, who has not woken up until now, and I don't know if he will wake up.
Just when Wang Xiaoer hesitated, he found that the walls on both sides of the cave in front of him were emitting golden light, the same color as the small piece of paper from his father who took the road before.
Moreover, the light on the walls on both sides followed Wang Xiaoer inward, and the golden light on both sides began to be absorbed by the tattoos on Wang Xiaoer's arms, and Wang Xiaoer's back was always in a dark state.
walked inside for a full hundred meters, until he walked out of the passage, the golden light on both sides of the passage also disappeared, and all of them entered Wang Xiaoer's two arms.
Wang Xiaoer glanced down, the tattoos on the index fingers of both hands, the tattoos on both hands seemed to sense Wang Xiaoer's gaze, flickered extremely faintly, and then returned to silence.
At the end of the passage was a slightly larger space, and a road was divided, Wang Xiaoer chose one at random and took the one on the far right.
This road is not long, that is, less than ten meters away, but this is when you reach the end to find that in this dark space, the distance of less than ten meters will seem particularly long for ordinary people.
Wang Xiaoer had just walked halfway to the distance when suddenly a voice sounded: "Don't move! There is a trap!"
It was Xiaolan who spoke, and I don't know when Xiaolan and Xiaohong had already woken up, but only Xiaolan flew out of her hand. Usually the two energy bodies that don't even have a door on their lips are now saying very seriously, which makes Wang Xiaoer uncomfortable.
Wang Xiaoer didn't have the degree of being completely disobedient to the avenue, but before he could greet Xiaolan, he heard Xiaolan shouting: "Get out of the way!"
Although Xiaolan could emit blue light, Wang Xiaoer still didn't see anything, but his ears could hear something flying towards him in the air. And more than one.
When this thing approached Wang Xiaoer within one meter, it suddenly accelerated and attacked Wang Xiaoer from different angles at an extremely fast speed. After flexibly avoiding several attacks in a row, Wang Xiaoer hit the opponent in the air continuously, and every time he kicked one, one of them would directly crash into the surrounding walls, with such great force that he even directly knocked out a small pit on the surrounding walls.
After all of them were quickly solved, Wang Xiaoer picked up one on the ground, and through the blue light emitted by Xiaolan, which only he could see, Wang Xiaoer found that these were palm-sized butterflies, and the whole butterfly was transparent. But when you hold it in your hand, it doesn't feel like a real butterfly, Wang Xiaoer used a little force, and the whole butterfly was crushed, and what shocked Wang Xiaoer even more was that these butterflies were mechanical, that is, they were artificially made.
In addition, the butterfly that was crushed actually began to absorb Wang Xiaoer's spiritual power, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly threw away the butterfly, and at the moment when Wang Xiaoer turned around, the butterflies on the ground began to explode one after another, and the energy of the explosion was not large, but in this small space, the power of a butterfly explosion was enough to kill three or five ordinary people.
And the butterfly that had just absorbed Wang Xiaoer's spiritual power, the power of the explosion directly blew up the passage just now.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoer reacted quickly, left the passage in two steps, and returned to the first three forks.
Soon, the passage returned to calm again.
"When did you wake up?", Wang Xiaoer asked a little kindly.
The blue energy body yawned and said, "Just now, I just felt a powerful flow of energy coming in, and I woke up!"
Wang Xiaoer: "Where's Xiaohong?"
Blue: "It's, he's lazier than me, I woke up 800 years earlier than him last time!"
Wang Xiaoer: "... By the way, how did you find out that those transparent butterflies were in danger?"
Blue: "??? you should be able to, it is estimated that the internal injuries you suffered in the last battle have not recovered, otherwise you can find out yourself!"
Wang Xiaoer: "By the way, I didn't have time to thank you two last time!"
Blue: "You're welcome! After all, it's 'under the fence'!"
Wang Xiaoer: "Well, it's good to know, then quickly tell me how the two of you opened the enchantment, after doing what is at hand, I have to rush back to save people!"
Lan opened his mouth and said in shock: "I'm just polite, shouldn't you be polite with me?"
Wang Xiaoer: "Hey~~, don't care about these details!hahahahaha!"
Blue: "Hey~, I've been a hooligan all my life, and I've met a big hooligan when I'm old!"
Wang Xiaoer and Xiaolan teased each other and walked into the leftmost passage.
