Jian Hua hung up the phone, and the mobile phone screen automatically returned to the standby desktop.

Against a dark background, the handsome and heroic general held a halberd, his face was tired and covered in blood, but his eyes were sharp and bright, and he could almost turn into a sharp blade and come out of the screen.

Jian Hua silently slid his finger to the settings icon, and skillfully cut out a picture of the scenery and green trees, replacing the official announcement of "Crow" that was originally used as a desktop.

He was hanging saline and glucose in a small clinic.

If it weren't for the good physical foundation, I would be afraid that I wouldn't be able to stand up now.

"Weak like this, still taking a job?" The old doctor in the clinic didn't approve of Jian Hua, they were acquaintances, the old doctor was a retired general doctor, he didn't have too much skill, and he gave people some minor illnesses and pains on weekdays.

Huaicheng is not a particularly prosperous city, but there are two large film and television bases built here, and there are crews filming here almost every day. Many young people with the idea of getting ahead in the film and television industry drifted to Huaicheng to rent a house, and then squeezed the subway every day, bumped through most of the city to the gate of the film and television city, and waited in the cold wind for the crew who needed to perform in a group.

They are living in poverty, have no health insurance, and do not have much money to see a doctor and treat their injuries.

Jian Hua used to be one of them, and he was so familiar with the doctor Cheng Lao in the small clinic.

"Young man, what are you doing so hard?" The old doctor finished wiping his old glass lenses and picked up the stethoscope again, "You haven't eaten for a few days?" Go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up and recuperate at home for another month! ”

Jian Hua smiled bitterly, the body is the capital of life, where is he willing to toss himself like this.

- What happened last night, even if you say it, no one will believe it.

His eyes fell on the teacup on the table, and the water in it suddenly swayed, spilling a little on the table.

Cheng Lao didn't see it, and was still chattering: "Compared with other young people, you are successful enough, you have bought a house in Huaicheng in a few years and have a car." I asked you to quit smoking, find a 9-to-5 job, and live a down-to-earth life. ”

Jian Hua was silent.

If he hadn't received that call from Li Fei's economist, he would indeed be ready to leave the film and television industry.

Over the years, I have taken a lot of risks, and the money I have earned has been repaid, but most of them have been used to buy a house and that second-hand car, and I really don't have much savings.

"What kind of work did you just say on the phone, and you want to go to Haicheng to sign a contract, and it will take three hours to take a long-distance bus from Haicheng here, and you are now in this wind-blown virtue?" Cheng Lao blew his beard and glared at him.

Jian Hua pinched his eyebrows and sighed with a headache: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

How can there be such an exaggeration when the wind blows, if you are really so vulnerable, you can still go to the clinic for medical treatment?

Cheng Lao glared at him and went to get busy again.

Although it was very noisy here, there were the howls of children refusing to give injections, and the horns of vehicles outside, but the noise happened to be the most reassuring to Jian Hua now, lying in the back of the clinic where Cheng Lao was resting for lunch, Jian Hua was sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously.

During this period, the nurse came in to change the hanging bottle, but he didn't wake up.

Jian Hua is dreaming.

In the dream, there was an endless barren Gobi, the sky was ominous red with blood, and the crows perched on the trunks of dead trees, making unpleasant hoarse calls. A young general turned slowly, his posture standing tall and his back like a mountain.

The halberd dragged in his hand, and there were corpses at his feet.

Step by step, he walked out of the desperate situation and headed in the direction of the setting sun......

A sudden cry appeared in the dream, and the desert crows and dead trees all disappeared, and the general stood in the studio, wiped the blood stains from his face, and handed the prop halberd to the crew, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

Then Jian Hua woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at the mottled ceiling in distraction.

"Almost." Cheng Lao entered the room and pulled out the needle for Jian Hua, "You slept so deeply, it's almost time for dinner, how do you feel?" ”

What else can I feel, hanging two large bottles of water, of course I want to go to the toilet!

Jian Hua nodded to indicate that he was much better, pressed the pinhole with cotton, and went around the bathroom with his whole clothes.

The toilet is a single room, just inside the Cheng Lao lounge. After solving the physiological problem, when he turned on the faucet and washed his hands, Jian Hua saw the light bulb above his head swaying twice, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"What sound?" Cheng Lao asked outside.

“……”

Jian Hua couldn't be sure if this was a masterpiece of his reading ability, he walked out of the bathroom in the dark, and said a little embarrassed: "The light bulb is broken, I'll go to the store to buy one for you to replace." ”

"What's the change, just call someone to fix it tomorrow." Cheng Lao disagreed, and handed over a small plastic bag in his hand, "You hurry up and go home to rest, this is your medicine!" Your symptoms are malnutrition and low blood sugar! Vitamins remember to eat ......"

Before the words fell, he was suddenly stopped by Jian Hua.

Cheng Lao was inexplicable, he had known Jian Hua for a few years, and it was the first time he saw this young man with a look of fear in his eyes.

"Did you hear anything?" Jian Hua's voice trembled a little.

Cheng Lao was puzzled, there was no sound, it was quiet outside-

Around six o'clock is the time when the old city is lively, people come home from work, the sound of pots and pans jingling, it should be endless, how can it be so quiet?

Jian Hua's gaze fell on the door of the lounge, which was closed.

He walked over and pulled the door open.

Sure enough, it was empty outside.

- Even if there are no patients who come to the clinic, the nurses are nowhere to be seen.

Cheng Lao ran out in a panic, shouted the name of the nurse, and walked out of the clinic again, dumbfounded. The neighbors are all gone, and there are still crutches and chess on the side of the stone bench where the old people usually gather to chat.

Jian Hua stretched out his hand and slowly held his forehead, he didn't expect that the disaster would happen again.

"What's going on?" Cheng Lao has lived for decades, and he has never seen such a ridiculous thing.

Jian Hua's mind was overturned, and he was so irritable that he wanted to smash the things in front of him, but there was an old man beside him, an old man who took care of him a lot, and he couldn't show this despair.

Supporting Cheng Lao, Jian Hua found a place for him to sit down, and retold what happened to him last night in the briefest words.

Of course, he still had reservations, and did not mention that he could move objects with his mind.

After Cheng Lao calmed down, he quickly realized the current situation - intellectually he didn't believe Jian Hua's words, but the facts were shocking.

"You got into the elevator and changed as soon as you came out?" Cheng Lao's brows were furrowed so that he could trap mosquitoes, and he couldn't help but remember that he felt that Jian Hua's hanging bottle should be almost hung, because the nurse said that the young man was asleep, so he deliberately closed the door when he came in to check.

When did the outside sound go away?

Cheng Lao thought hard, and finally clapped his hands: "It's after the toilet bulb is broken!" ”

The sound was not small, Cheng Lao was startled at the time, lest Jian Hua would fall down in the toilet, so he hurriedly asked out loud, and then they kept talking until Jian Hua noticed that something was wrong.

"What can I do?" Cheng Lao was covered in cold sweat.

It turns out that the truth about Jian Hua's poor health is like this, the young man has survived for dozens of hours without eating or drinking, and he has an old bone, isn't this fatal?

Jian Hua picked up a newspaper from the clinic floor, and his pupils constricted from the headlines of social news.

Huanyu Cinemas, stolen supermarket food, eleven o'clock last night...... The little couple died?

"Bang!"

A blaze erupted in the sky in the distance, and a huge roar rang out.

Jian Hua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the window with Cheng Lao, only to see smoke coming out of the top floor of the Pearl Hotel, a landmark building in the center of Huaicheng, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder after the explosion.

On weekdays, Jian Hua would definitely think that the Pearl Hotel had suffered a terrorist attack.

"Anyone else?" Cheng Lao was surprised and delighted.

Things are strange, no matter who falls into this world where time has stagnated, there will be six gods and no masters, who has the heart to throw explosives? It's not so easy to find explosives in China, unless it's homemade—

"Whoosh, smack!"

I don't know who is setting off fireworks on the other side of the Linjiang Bridge, and a puff of fireworks jumps into the sky, breaking the silence of the night.

"Cheng Lao, you are hiding in the clinic, I'll take a look."

“…… You beware. "Cheng Lao wants to follow, but he has old arms and legs, and if he really encounters something, he will definitely drag Jian Hua down.

After nodding towards Cheng Lao and promising to come back, Jian Hua cautiously walked out of the street and headed in the direction of Linjiang Bridge.

Although the Pearl Hotel is relatively close, the danger of setting off fireworks and throwing explosives is clear at a glance, so there is no need to go into details.

The cold wind was blowing at night, and the road was the same as last night, with countless cars parked with their lights on. It's the evening rush hour, and they won't react at all except for the green light and the red light, just like the usual congestion.

It looks bustling and bustling, but it is actually empty.

Suddenly, a young man riding a mountain bike with a big bag on his back broke into Jian Hua's field of vision.

"Huh?" They saw each other at the same time.

The mountain bike slipped over lightly, and the young man with dyed hair looked at Jian Hua suspiciously: "Are you?" ”

Jian Hua had countless thoughts in his heart when the other party appeared, and the young man's unhurried attitude confirmed his guess - this person must know something, otherwise no one would be able to face this kind of change and be fine.

"I'll go over there." Jian Hua pointed at the Linjiang Bridge.

"Oh, fellow travelers, let's be together!" The young man said immediately.

Jian Hua looked calm: "You go first, I'm looking for a car." ”

"You're too casual, you're not prepared at all." The young man did not completely let down his guard, and was still looking at Jian Hua.

Jian Hua saw the big backpack behind the other party, and the corner of the food packaging bag exposed inside the unfinished zipper, he realized.

"I hid my food somewhere else." Jian Hua said.

The young man laughed when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up: "I have an idea, in fact, I am too, but I brought two packs of food." Rest assured that the plot has just begun, and there is no ...... at all"

The young man did not finish his words, because a man came out of the shadows, and with a sharp hand, he slashed at the back of his neck with one palm, and knocked the man unconscious.

Jian Hua saw it when the other party touched it.

This person is none other than his little Lu Xuan.

Although he didn't know what Lu Meng was going to do, between the self-acquainted hair and the suspicious stranger, of course Jian Hua still chose Lu Ling, so he watched Lu Lu Mian knock people out silently.

"Great, you're here too!"

Lu Yan grabbed Jian Hua's hand excitedly, with a look of fear: "I came out of the elevator and found that everyone was gone, and there were still people killing people at the Pearl Hotel, let's get out of here quickly and find a place to hide." ”

“……”

Jian Hua looked at him quietly, the smile on Lu Xuan's face was a little unmaintainable, and he quietly took a half step back.

"What, what's wrong?"
