Chapter 1: Through the End of the World
Boom!
The weakness of the low-level undead—the head—was slashed off, and the pale, frightened girl, fell to the ground in her posture, rolling around like a piece of mud, wheezing and unable to get up again.
What the hell is this realm!
She gasped for breath, the sun was hot, the cracked brick road was as hot as the golden sand in the desert, and on either side were dilapidated shops full of bloody and filthy smell. It was as if the brain had been drained of air and finally had the strength to turn. Gu Lian only remembered to review physics at home, and the night was too deep to help but fall asleep on the table, and it seemed that she dreamed of being chased by a group of beasts to escape, and then ......
When I woke up, I found two disgusting-smelling skeletons waddling over, skinny and tattered, as if they were going to drop parts at any moment. Gu Lian's soul was scattered, she almost wanted to vomit, and she was so frightened that she crawled to the side with her hands and feet, but the skeleton with hollow facial features seemed to be able to see her, slowly turned around, and walked towards her slowly but firmly.
"What the hell ——!!"
Gu Lian screamed, almost scared to death, but the survival instinct made her hurry to find the murder weapon, but she was lucky, she saw something shiny on the ground, and she pumped hard, it was an arm-long knife!, where is it so ferocious that you can pick up a knife at any time? This thought flashed, but at the moment of the skeleton, who cares about this, Gu Lian, a little girl who has never even held a kitchen knife, picked up the knife ruthlessly, snorted, and slashed it casually.
The skeleton was so brittle and easy to push down, and her strength was enough to break it apart. Gu Lian was overjoyed, and was about to concoct the same method, which made her stunned.
I saw the scattered white bones swaying on the ground, and under the bright sun, the white was miserable and terrifying. Then, at breakneck speed, they reassembled into a new skeleton!
!!
Gu Lian's heart collapsed and despaired, she almost cried in fright, her whole body was weak and she couldn't raise her strength, she trembled, screamed and screamed, and then she waved the knife subconsciously when she saw the skeleton approaching...... The skeleton stopped moving.
Gu Lian was overjoyed, the hope after despair was so strong, she didn't know where to find her strength again, and bravely killed the other one.
Even after a long time, Gu Lian lay on the ground, still unable to calm the fear in her heart for a long time. What about the society under the rule of law? What about the peaceful era that she talked about? She has not sweated as much in the past 17 years! She barely propped up her body and looked to both sides, and on one side was a dilapidated shop with no signboard, and she could barely see that it was a bookstore. The signboard on the other side is still there, saying Chen's noodle restaurant, small tables and small stools, all missing arms and legs, dense with cobwebs, no sound on the street, dead silence, everything shows that there are no people in this neighborhood, not even a bird.
- Only skeletons.
Gu Lian's mind couldn't help but flash these words, and she suddenly felt cold, she couldn't help but fold her arms and shiver under such a strong sun.
Hell, what the hell is this place?!, she cursed again, but she couldn't hide the uneasiness and despair that welled up in her heart.
After a while, she realized, who knows if this skeleton will come again? He stood up, hesitated, and went to the bookstore first.
Although it was dilapidated, the floor was in shambles, and the electric lights had long since failed, but there were still books to read. She didn't think much about the dark red books on the outside, so she forced herself to endure the unpleasant smell and picked a clean book at random.
The Art of War.
Yo, it's so familiar! Although it is a traditional character, Gu Lian's eyes still lit up, and she flipped through it, and sure enough, it was the familiar book! In other words, she was still in the original world? She thought to herself, she was extremely excited, and was about to put it back to find other books, when she suddenly remembered something, turned to the front and looked at the printing date.
August 2600 was printed on the fourth day.
Gu Lian's eyes were dark, and thousands of grass and mud horses were galloping in her heart. 2600!!Blind her eyes!!If it is really the chronology she is familiar with, she is now in the era of her children and grandchildren hundreds of years later! Nima can see a person surnamed Gu and shout good grandson! What kind of concept is this, the distance from the Ming Dynasty to modern times!!
The more Gu Lian thought about it, the more terrifying it became, she trembled, thinking of those two skeletons and the barren streets, she couldn't help but despise fiercely: How did you guys make a good global village look like this? In the twenty-sixth century, when a robot ruled the world, she recognized it, and the skeleton ruled the world or something, is it too sorry for the development of science and technology in the twenty-first century?
Her fingers trembled, and she went back to find other books. Finally found a book of current affairs, which roughly summarized the various processes of human evolution from the information age to the biochemical age, and people finally reached the level of exploring the most mysterious existence - life - and concocted countless strange monsters with life and intelligence.
The rest of the matter disappeared, and she estimated that she didn't know that human beings still existed, and the luxury industry of nature writers would not continue.
In short, it probably means that human beings are killed by themselves.
She couldn't tell the exact situation from books that she didn't know what age it was, so she found a map, walked out of the bookstore, quietly observed the street, felt her knife to cheer herself up, and walked to the noodle shop.
She really doesn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, and has no survival experience, but she knows that the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and ensuring food is the most important thing.
However, it seems that the contents of Chen's noodle restaurant have long been swept away, either empty and broken, or something of unbelievable color. She carefully picked up something that looked like a vinegar bottle with her two fingers and sniffed it...... I am convinced that even if the taste changes after hundreds of years, human beings will not degenerate into eating such things.
"What should I do......" she muttered to herself, and went to search for other places, but nothing came of it. She vaguely felt that her hands and feet were cold, how long could the human body survive under the sun? Even if it was counted as seven days, she could not have any hope where the bird did not lay eggs! Eat weeds? Indeed, there were many weeds in the crevices of the masonry under her feet, but ......
Let her eat this kind of thing?
Gu Lian didn't want to be hypocritical, she really couldn't imagine it. She remembered that she had seen the experience of escaping at sea, saying that when there was no fresh water, she could store urine to quench her thirst.
Forget it, she walked again, anyway, weeds and bark are indispensable in the wild. She comforted herself, sat down on the shady steps sheltered by the eaves, took the heavy thigh-thick floor book, and flipped it up. At first, it was a map of the world, and she studied it carefully and found that it was not much different from her original place, but the number of countries was significantly less, the ocean became vast, several island countries disappeared, Britain was divided, the Middle East and Africa were reshuffled, the ten countries of East Asia became a unified country, and the dozen or so small countries next to China were still fragmented.
Gu Lian felt ridiculous and terrifying. Although it is said that it is the favorite excuse used by the king and the overlord to wage war in ancient novels, it was ancient times, it was the feudal era, and they finally stepped into the era of civilization, so there is still no way to stop this trend?
Looking for a map guide of China, she first set her eyes on Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Since it was a traditional character, she suspected that she was not in the mainland now. However, she soon discovered that the book was published in Shanghai, and scholars from Shanghai, Beijing, Xiamen and other universities jointly compiled it. And the traditional characters were different from the subtleties she recognized, and she guessed that there might be a retro style, and people pushed down the simplified characters and returned to the traditional characters after the success of the national literacy eradication. It's not surprising that many of her teachers and classmates in high school like to use traditional characters, although she feels that her eyes hurt when she sees them.
Being able to wear it to the mainland of the motherland may be the most fortunate thing for her. Thinking bitterly, she stepped into the bookstore again, generally the local map, travel journal and the like will be in a conspicuous place in the relevant category, but this bookstore is too small and too broken, and most of the products sold are psychology, making money, feng shui, exercises, etc. Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly found a broken and faded pennant with an indistinct color on the cash register, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the embroidered payment.
Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District......
Gu Lian almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
She must have seen it wrong, she must be blind, she must still be dreaming!!
She rushed out of the door, looking left and right as if she was sure, this, no, science, and learning! What about the streets she was familiar with? What about the scenery she had seen for more than ten years? What about the high-rise buildings? What about the shoulder to shoulder? What about the major primary and secondary schools?
However, all I saw were low-rise buildings, the sun was blazing, and from a distance, the sunlight was too strong to distort the front end......
Silence, no people.
She lowered her head, her hands over her face, her shoulders shaking. She didn't cry when she saw the skeleton, she didn't cry when she knew that she crossed over, she didn't cry when she couldn't find food, but at this time, at this moment, she was standing alone in the middle of the deserted street, looking at the ruined and unfamiliar home, the loneliness was surging, despair was like a tide, and she suddenly tasted the tears of loneliness and bitterness.
She burst into tears, crouched down and hugged herself, shedding a lot of tears.
The sunlight was creeping down little by little, and Gu Lian's body, which had not moved for a long time, finally shook, raised her head and stood up.
The look was firm and hollow.
Tearing off the map of Beijing hundreds of years later, carrying a blood-stained broadsword, she slowly walked out of this street step by step, stepping on bricks and stones, stepping on clothes, stepping on dry bones, and stepping on dried blood.
