Chapter 112: Mutation III
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. From far to near, I soon arrived at the door of the ward.
Chen Jing woke up suddenly. looked left and right, but could not see Chen Wu's figure, and the other beds in the ward were empty. The patient who had been lying on it was nowhere to be seen. Chen Jing panicked for a while.
Syllable. Syllable. Syllable.
The footsteps stopped directly at the door of the ward, and there was silence all around. Chen Jing stared nervously at the door. She didn't know why Chen Wu was gone, the other patients were gone, and she didn't know why the surroundings had become so quiet, and now all her energy was focused on the white door.
The sudden sound of footsteps seemed to stop outside the door. Chen Jing could feel that the visitor must have stopped at the door, but she didn't know why there was no movement. There was no murmur around, and only the sound of one's own breathing could be heard.
"There must be someone at the door!" Chen Jing wanted to bury her whole body in the quilt, but she was afraid that her eyes could not see the outside. She didn't know why the other person had stopped at the door.
Maybe it's listening to the voices in the hospital room.
She guessed this, but her heart became more and more frightened, and she didn't even dare to breathe too hard.
"Who?" She plucked up the courage to ask.
No one answered.
"Is it Xiao Wu?" Her voice trembled.
Still no one answered.
Chen Jing gritted her teeth, knowing that if she continued like this, she probably wouldn't even have the courage to resist, she glanced at the bedside table next to her, there was a fruit knife for peeling fruit on it, and she held it tightly in her hand.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the door was slammed open.
"Ah!!h Chen Jing screamed suddenly, and the fruit knife in her hand was about to be thrown forward.
"Don't be afraid!! It's us! A somewhat familiar voice came into Chen Jing's ears. She looked at it and found that it was Wang Chunli. The tall woman panted and quickly closed the door. There was a click and a reverse lock.
On her side, Chen Da leaned against the wall with a pale face and gasped for air.
"Finally Hu escaped. Oh, my God. Chen Da bent down and breathed violently.
Chen Jing calmed down at this time. Hurriedly put away the fruit knife and got out of bed.
"What's wrong with you?" She hurried to the two of them.
Wang Chunli sat on the ground all of a sudden, sweat wetting the hair in front of her forehead. The loose hair stuck to her skin, but she didn't care.
"When you wake up, we have no place to hide. We can only run everywhere, and the red boots have been chasing us for a long time. As soon as you fell asleep just now, we hurried over. Wang Chunli explained, "I was going to tell you not to sleep in one place. That's because if you're still asleep in the operating room, Red Boots can be waiting for you right in that location. But it's good that you transferred. ”
"Don't say so much. Now what do we do? Chen Da asked on the side. The breath also recovered slightly.
"Dream Eaters have fixed limits, so we don't have to worry about them for now. In "Wang Chunli looked at Chen Jing.
The latter hurriedly introduced: "My name is Chen Jing, the young woman." ”
"Oh, Chen Jing, we are safe until her world is eaten. By the way, Chen Jing, try to estimate how much time you have left. Wang Chunli asked.
Chen Jing frowned, and roughly calculated the contrast between the speed and time of the sense of passing. "One hour or two hours."
"It's a long time. I just have time, and I'll tell you a little bit about the Dream Awakener. Wang Chunli motioned for Chen Jing and Chen Da to sit down.
The three of them formed a circle, and then she took a deep breath and said softly: "We dream awakeners have always haunted in the way of dreams, so they are not well known, and there is a circle that is completely isolated from the outside world. For example, everyone has dreams, but we awakened people can completely indulge everything we say and do in dreams. It's not like ordinary people can't help themselves. It's like the difference between an ordinary Internet user and a computer hacker on the Internet. ”
"What are the red boots?" Chen Da asked.
"It's the dream eater of the city." Wang Chunli said in a deep voice. "Every area will be ruled by dream eaters, and humans are just food for them, and they can enter a human dream at will and eat everything from each other. Red Boots is one of the more famous. ”
"There should be restrictions." Chen Jing was puzzled, "Otherwise, wouldn't they be able to kill anyone at will?" ”
"Of course there are limitations. I don't know very well, but it seems that dream eaters can't move in crowded places. Moreover, the body of Dream Eaters is generally relatively weak, so they will never reveal their identity. Wang Chunli paused, "So as long as we wake up and stay in reality, we won't be in danger." As long as we don't sleep. ”
"Wait!!"
Chen Da stood up abruptly and walked to the door.
"There's movement." He whispered to the two behind him.
Wang Chunli was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned pale.
"There are only three people here, why do I hear one person's breathing!!"
Chen Jing's faces changed greatly at the same time.
*****************
"Wake up!! Wake up!! ”
Chen Jing opened her eyes suddenly, and next to the bed was a tall woman with these two intersecting scars on her face.
"I'm Wang Chunli! Finally found you. ”
Chen Jing noticed that there was a tall, pale-faced man behind her, it was Chen Da.
"I followed the environment in the dream. The three of us must act together, or the Red Boots will never let us go!! Wang Chunli said urgently.
"Xiao Wu? What about Xiao Wu! Chen Jing looked to the side to the right, and Chen Wu was lying on the side of the bed sleeping soundly.
She shook Chen Wu vigorously and shouted several times in succession, but there was no response.
"Stop screaming! It's the ability of the Red Boots to put anyone he wants to sleep. Wang Chunli explained. Pointing to the other patients in the room. "And so do they."
"So what now?" Chen Jing also panicked when she heard this.
"Red Boots can't do it when there are many people and where there are few people sleeping, let's go to the place with the least number of people sleeping!" Wang Chunli replied decisively.
Outside the window, the sky was just bright, gray-white and gloomy, and the white fog was misty. It seems very unreal and mysterious.
************
On the main street in the city center.
Wang Chunli and Chen Da helped Chen Jing sit on a bench on the side of the road.
"This is the main street, most of the people around are moving, few people are sleeping, it should be safe." Chen Da looked left and right at the environment.
Cleaners in sanitary clothes have already started cleaning the streets in the morning, and some people who work the evening shift are rushing home. Occasionally, a few cars pass by, and you can still see people getting up in the morning and jogging in the morning from time to time.
"You've had surgery, you're still weak, and we're safe now. Let's take a break. Wang Chunli let out a long sigh. Both her and Chen Da's eyes were deeply blue, and they looked like they knew that they were suffering from severe sleep deprivation.
"I want to go to the toilet." Chen Da said suddenly. "I've endured it for a long time." His face was a little hot.
Wang Chunli looked left and right at the environment. "Let's go together. There is a toilet in the center of commerce, I remember. Just like I want to go. As long as we don't sleep, it should be fine. And there are few people sleeping here, so he can't use his abilities. ”
Although Chen Jing didn't want to go yet, she didn't want to be separated from the two. I had to nod.
Wang Chunli helped Chen Jing, Chen Da walked in the front, and the three of them entered the center of commerce, where the security guards were patrolling everywhere, and the cleaners also began to clean up the garbage inside. But it still looks deserted in general. Only a few stores have opened.
The toilet is located on the left corner of the first floor of the Trade City.
Chen Da took the lead in walking to the men's toilet and looked back at Wang Chunli and the two.
"I'll be out soon." He pushed the door open and walked in.
Wang Chunli also helped Chen Jing push the door open.
"That's not right!" Chen Jing was taken aback, "Why is there no sound when Chen Da goes in?" ”
It stands to reason that there should be footsteps when pushing open the door and entering, but as soon as Chen Dagang entered, he couldn't hear anything, only silence.
"Chen Da?" Wang Chunli tried to scream.
No response!
