Chapter Seventy-One: The Trough of Despair
Time passes in a second. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the time, they remained silent, and the occasional staggered words only brought a deeper sense of powerlessness. They had no guns, no bombs, no thermal weapons. The protective shells equipped on the vehicle are desperately small compared to the mighty skeleton army behind them, both in terms of power and quantity.
These words came to their minds:
Heaven wants people to die.
The high-quality skeletons were already walking side by side with the car, they were buried in the pile of skeletons, and the harsh sound of the white bones rubbing against the iron sheet made people listen to the toothache. This scene is simply a crazy horror movie, and the timid people have long been scared to death. When Gu Lian turned her head to look out, she even saw a skeleton face with a glass against it, looking inside as she ran, a pair of black holes and holes rotated with the movement of their relative positions, and they fixed on her face.
Gu Lian seemed to hear the sound of it hissing and sucking in greed.
The condensed atmosphere in the car was heavy and cold, Gu Lian closed her eyes, her little head gently leaned on Wei Sen's strong chest, and curled up to listen to her heartbeat.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
I'm going to die...... She thought.
Gu Lian listened to count her heartbeat, and the heartbeat was surprisingly calm and slow, like a flat and wide river flowing slowly. She herself was a little surprised that she could be so calm in the face of nothing worse than this, as if she were - as if - she was only a soul in this shell, and her senses were dull and dull to everything outside world.
Does she not want to live anymore?
Gu Lian was thinking about such a question at such a tense juncture.
Does she already want to give up? Well, that's understandable. She's worked hard, and whoever knows what she's been through will give her a passing grade, so now is the right time to give up, right?
Being able to drag everyone to death together seems to be a good choice. She thought.
At this moment, she seemed to see the essence of the person named "Gu Lian" for the first time. She is not sunny at all, she is not strong at all, and the idea behind her positive is so negative: only those who have won it can give up without causing any controversy, and all efforts are just to pave the way and make excuses for her failure.
At the moment when she gives up, she can puff up her chest and say, "Look, I've tried."
How cunning.
Her passivity is destructive, how strong and stubborn she has been before, how resolute she is when she breaks, and she even looks forward to the moment of destruction as if she were looking forward to the moment when the fireworks will burst.
- How beautiful would that be......
Her eyes were closed, all light, shadow and sound were away from her, and she leaned against Visen's strong, hard chest like a newborn baby. Time was going against her with her thoughts and feelings, and she went back to the past, back to the state of "nothing", with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, several strange fragments flashed through my mind.
When dusk fell, the house was pitch black, and I don't know if it was because there was no light, and the whole house exuded a desolate dead silence.
It took her a few seconds to make out that it was home. It's a bit messy, and sure enough, without her at home, the home just can't work. Gu Lian puffed out her mouth, and subconsciously looked for a broom and a rag.
But suddenly, she froze.
The empty living room was dark and silent, and a middle-aged woman with short hair sat quietly like a stone statue at the wooden dining table. Suddenly, she let out an uncontrollable sharp sob, then fell back to a standstill. It was only after a few moments that her thin shoulders twitched violently, and she let out a terrible sob, as if a bison was in her body rushing wildly, and the iron hooves sometimes trampled on her softest places, and the pain was terrible, but she could not get rid of it. The woman's lips opened and closed, and she shouted silently, shouting something over and over again.
What is she talking about...... Gu Lian couldn't help herself and approached, squatting in front of her, tilting her head to look at her.
Gu Lian...... Gu Lian...... Gu Lian...... Give it back to me, give her back to me......" The woman's chapped lips quivered, cries.
Gu Lian's heart shrank suddenly, and she couldn't breathe in pain.
She muttered, "Mommy......"
The corners of his closed eyes were stained with water.
With a shift in perspective, she found herself seeing the school.
"She hasn't come to school yet?" the young man in Qingjun's school uniform frowned and stood in the teacher's office. The teenager, who has always been a little indifferent, rarely showed a little dazed. After a long silence, his eyes stared stubbornly at the teacher, as if asking for an answer, "But she said she wanted to borrow a book from me." ”
is obviously very strong, but the partial tail note leaks a trace of weakness, and the confusion in his eyes is heart-wrenching for no reason.
Ah, that's an excuse, don't take it personally......
Gu Lian thought, only to feel that her heart was cold and hot, and she couldn't figure out what it tasted like, and her fingers kept curling up and opening, opening and curling.
The perspective changed again, and she first saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and the vitality burning in them was dizzying. He leaned against the wall in the car, looked at the top of the bed, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and threatened hatefully: "Gu Lian, you can try ......"
Isn't it good for a person to talk to himself like this? Gu Lian wanted to cry and laugh, but first of all, she couldn't suppress the desire to complain.
The images in my mind became chaotic at this time, and the voices kept intertwining, men and women, familiar and unfamiliar.
"See you soon. The beautiful and proud girl said with her chin held high.
Well, I'd be happy to see you again.
"Don't forget me......" The man's eyebrows and eyes were slightly feminine, mixed with a hint of nervous fragility.
It's so familiar, Gu Lian remembers this annoying guy who likes to make trouble for her even in the end, and she also remembers that he always has a sad and lonely look.
"I am who I am, don't look at that guy. The thin man pursed his lips and emphasized, expressionless.
Okay, okay, awkward guy, that guy she doesn't want to see that so much.
Gu Lian woke up from her chaotic thoughts, reached out and touched the splash on her face, and suddenly found that she didn't want to die so much.
She seems to ...... I really want to live.
The crunching sound of the iron sheet sore her teeth, she looked at the more and more medium-grade skeletons that pounced on her, stretched out her finger to imitate a pistol, and pointed it on the skull through the glass, and said a soft "touch!" in her mouth.
But what to do? She doesn't seem to be able to survive.
The road seems to end here.
She is still so young, she wants to go home so much, she hides so many encounters and acquaintances, grievances and pride, and wants to pour it out to her mother.
The glass shattered, cracked, and melted under their relentless scratching. A trace of cold wind poured in from the gap, and Wei Sen couldn't help but hug her tighter, and subconsciously squeezed inside.
Finally, a skeletal paw of a miserable white slender skeleton broke through the window, followed by a second, a third. Cold, wind, ice and snow, the eyes are white and miserable, and the vision is full of desperate colors. Gu Lian lay her face on Wei Sen's fiery neck, as if she was absorbing strength, her dark and round eyes opened wide, and she looked at one of the outstretched paws without blinking.
What a pity......
She hugged Visen tightly, and they squeezed back, but the space for survival shrank with the joy of the skull and the outstretched arms.
The people in the car fell into the abyss of despair, powerless in the face of looming death, they held their breath in silence, their faces pale and full of life.
At that moment, there was a creak, and the skeleton's movements stopped.
Shiraishi's eyes widened, but they saw the skeletons crowding and stretching out their arms, desperately leaning into it, but their ribs were stuck in the car window. The air suddenly changed, and there was a snort, like a match lighting a fire, crackling and burning emotions. Xiao Li suddenly pressed the brake button hard, and then hit the steering wheel hard, the car screamed violently, and suddenly frantically spun in place for most of the time.
The skeletons outside were caught off guard, some were thrown off and fell, their bones shattered, and the tires crunched terribly, and some of them crushed each other, and under the action of the air pressure brought out by the strong speed and the strong windows, they cut off their waists and fell out of the windows. The remaining skeletons were still crippled and stubbornly following the car, but Xiao Li slapped the button again, and the car drove at extreme speed, and the skeletons were defenseless, their claws did not grasp the car, and after making a long piercing scratching sound, they were thrown behind the car.
The high-grade skeletons in front of them saw the miserable situation of the middle-grade skeletons, hesitated for a moment, and under the drive of one, they turned their heads one after another and rushed straight to the car. The car sped past them, just as the high-grade skeletons were about to rush in through the cracks made by the medium-grade skeletons......
Still! The high-grade skeletons are like robots that have suddenly lost power, maintaining their respective positions and freezing in place!
Space-time ability - [Late]!
At the perfect time, a trace of admiration flashed in Xiao Li's eyes, his calm and ordinary black face was distorted because of seriousness and nervousness at this time, his head was hot, and large pieces of sweat flowed down his forehead, but his eyes were always bright and sharp. He skillfully manipulated the car's buttons and interfaces, and the car's acceleration and deceleration and gorgeous turns were so smooth that it was as if the car itself was a living steel beast, controlling its breathing and strength.
Crunch...... Crunch...... Whoa!
It's like the moment when a domino falls, refreshing, crisp, and a little excited.
Without hesitation, the wheels ran over the white bones of the high-grade skeletons, and a car sprang out from behind, running over their route with the same fierce momentum!
Two seconds later, the ability was over, but the fallen high-quality skeletons had only one or two wobble @patchwork limbs, most of which had been crushed to the back of their necks and could never recover.
The joy of escaping made everyone laugh, and Gu Lian excitedly hugged Wei Sen's neck and shouted: "It's done, it's done!"
Visen held her up with a smile on his face, and he would only pat her the back to express his joy.
But the faces of the other two remained serious. Bai Shitan stepped forward, grabbed the back of Xiao Li's chair, and his face turned pale: "Should I ......?"
Xiao Li pursed his lips, his expression was ugly, and he didn't say a word. Gu Lian Weisen also gradually calmed down, and she asked uneasily, "What's wrong?"
Before the words fell, only a sound was heard, and Gu Lian's expression changed greatly. She could clearly feel the body sinking uncontrollably, shaking violently, and then returning to normal under Xiao Li's quick switch to manual operation.
Lie down in a groove!
The tires are cut!!
Her frozen fingers held on to the door, straining slightly. She desperately tried to figure it out, but her abilities could only be used to snatch time and opportunity, but she didn't have the power to turn things around.
Despair, hope, and then great despair.
They wanted to keep running, running out of the cold chase, running out of the skeleton pursuit, but their feet had been broken.
The car became unstable, Xiao Li clearly felt the weight from the steering wheel, and the escape became blind. Everything is in vain, in vain!
Suddenly, Gu Lian screamed and slapped Xiao Li's back seat suddenly: "Look! Look! There is a car in front!"
In the distance, faintly visible silver-blue lines that are different from barren can be seen, rapidly extending diagonally ahead.
There were faint water fluctuations in Gu Lian's eyes.
