Chapter 1 Is It Just a Dream?

Zombies, animal and plant mutations, human extinctions, antibodies, urban naturalization,...... Cannibalism, this is a world that has been abandoned, but it is also a world that is waiting to be saved.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It hurts...... It hurts, don't ...... Give it back to me...... Give it back!!! ”

A thin woman sat up from the bed suddenly, her thin body under the light blue pajamas in the shape of a robe kept trembling, and in her big apricot eyes, red blood was clearly visible under the eyeballs, and tears of fear mixed with the sweat at the corners of her forehead slid down her soft cheeks, and patches of water stains appeared on the pajamas and the small patches of pale skin that were exposed.

It hurts, it really hurts, Lou Lan is going crazy in pain!

Watching himself being dissected with a knife, the crystal nucleus representing the ability in the brain was dug out by the cold scalpel, and the body covered with scars like rags was thrown directly into the zombie pile kept by those people as garbage, and then the flesh and blood on the body were eaten up bite by bite.

The most terrifying thing is that when all this happened, her consciousness was awake!

Pain, nausea, disgust.

Lou Lan's whole body curled up, she would not forget who caused all this.

Those scum who betrayed her in the name of her closest relatives. Thinking of those people, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and her trembling ten fingers pinched deep into her clenched arms......

Why betray her? Why!

The fingers are pinched tighter and tighter......

After a few moments, wisps of blood oozed from the place where the fingertips touched the skin, and as time passed, even the air began to have a faint smell of blood.

The smell is very light and difficult to perceive with the human sense of smell, but the smell of blood is strong enough for animals with a keen sense of smell such as cats and dogs.

"Meow ......"

With a slight cat meow, Lou Lan raised her head in a trance.

After the end of the world, there was a shortage of food several times, not to mention pets such as cats and dogs, extremely hungry humans would even eat mice and cockroaches, so Lou Lan hadn't heard a cat bark for a long, long time.

"Meow ......"

The cat barked again, but the voice was not as faint as before, and it sounded very clear, as if it was ringing in the ears.

Ear?!

Lou Lan's heart jumped, there was no too complicated thinking in his mind, but his body was almost reflexive, and in the next second, he jumped away from the place where he was curled up quickly, and instantly made a defensive posture.

It was too careless to let herself sink into fear and pain so defenselessly, if it was an animal infected by the virus, with their agility, she might have died just now.

Wait a minute...... He's dead? Mew? No! Wrong!

Lou Lan suddenly reacted, she should have been "dead", ** was torn to pieces by zombies, where could she still hear the cat meow?

The brain, which had been in a state of confusion, had a little clarity at this moment.

She trembled and raised her bloodshot hands, her white and slender arms and ten fingers as if they were coming to the end of the world.

Lou Lan looked up blankly and looked around the environment.

There were no zombies, no rotting corpses, no dilapidated furniture, the sun shining through the windows, even the air was so fresh, everything was as beautiful as it was before the end of the world.

And the "enemy" she just regarded as a great enemy - it was indeed a cat, but there was no sign of virus infection, on the contrary, this cat's yellow coat was smooth and bright, and at a glance she knew that it was alive and well-raised.

"Meow~" The cat saw Lou Lan staring at it and didn't move, so she meowed, and took the initiative to walk to her feet to show her goodness and rubbed Lou Lan's feet with her head.

The soft hair scratched her skin, and the pain in her arm reminded Lou Lan that all this was real, not an illusion or a dream.

The kitten, who looked to be no more than seven months old, changed positions and crouched beside her, licking its silky fur one by one.

The familiar color of the fur and movements, Lou Lan squatted down cautiously, touched its head with trembling fingers, and called tentatively: "Amber? ”

"Meow~" The cat heard the call, ended the action of licking the fur, squinted and rubbed Lou Lan's palm softly again.

Under the palm of her hand is the cat's soft hair, and the weak but strong heart drives the blood and skin, and the small tremor in her palm is the power of life.

Not corpses, not the living dead who act only by eating instinct "in dreams".

"In a dream" ......

All the pain must have been her dreams, and though they were so real, and the pain was all relatableβ€”but it was just a dream.

Slumped on the warm bed, Lou Lan muttered to herself: "This dream is really too long and too long, so long that she seems to have not slept in such a warm and soft bed for a long, long time." ”

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

A bell rang suddenly.

Lou Lan was in a trance when he suddenly heard this familiar voice ringing in his ears. The voice of the world immediately woke her up. Before her brain could react, she subconsciously reached out and groped under the pillow at random.

Soon I found a cold object, and when I found it, it was a mobile phone. At this time, the screen of the phone is lit up, and it shows the caller - a very familiar phone number.

She mentally pressed the answer button.

"Hey, kid...... Lele? ”

"It's me, Xiao Lanlan, we haven't seen each other for a few days, why are you so unfamiliar that you seem to have never seen me in a few lifetimes." There was a male voice on the other end of the phone, and he shouldn't be very old just listening to the voice, and his seemingly complaining words carried the heartiness of a young man, which made people feel good.

The familiar voice made Lou Lan's tense heart relax a little, and his tone involuntarily brought a sense of familiarity, and asked, "If there is anything, just say it." ”

"Eh, what do you mean, I can't look for you if I don't have anything?"

Lou Lan was just silent and didn't talk.

"Okay, okay, pretend to be silent again." The man named Tong Le was obviously used to Lou Lan's silence from time to time, and quickly "surrendered" and said, "You must be staying at home again now." How about getting out and getting some fresh air? Our company organized a picnic on the outskirts of the farm this time, you can participate as my sister......"

Tong Le Balabala said a lot, and then waited for Lou Lan to reply.

As a result, I heard two words from the other side for a while: "Don't go." ”

"......" is really a sentence that chokes people to death, and it is difficult for an extrovert like Rao is Tongle to continue the conversation for a while, so he can only say dryly: "I can bear your personality like this, if you don't go, don't go, wait for my brother and I will come back to bring you something delicious."

"Hmmm......"

I hung up the phone and threw it at the head of the bed. Lou Lan let out a long sigh of relief and threw herself on the bed, Tong Le's phone call made her feel that reality was more realistic, and the previous pain was really just a dream.

She was a little relaxed and held Amber in her arms, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, the screen lit up, it was very familiar, she heard big music since she was a child, although she felt that she hadn't heard it for a long time.

Lou Lan looked up at the wall clock on the wall, well, sure enough, it was already 7 o'clock.

The reporters on the TV have already started to broadcast the news: "...... The reporter from the front sent you a report that a vicious murder was discovered in City C a few days ago, and the victim was a young woman...... According to the surveillance, the woman was first dragged into the alley in the corner of the surveillance, and a man walked out of the alley half an hour later......"

The news reporter was still reading the press release in a calm tone, but Lou Lan in front of the TV had lost the relaxed mood she had just now, and she couldn't even hold the remote control steadily.

At first, she could watch the news with relish, until the corpse appeared.

According to convention, in the news of homicides, in order not to cause discomfort to the audience, corpses and other things will be coded, and the news just now is no exception.

But I don't know if it's negligence or other accidents, although the female corpse in the news this time is covered with mosaics, but one arm leaks out, and a huge bite mark on the tender white skin unique to young women is very dazzling.

The bite marks looked like they had been bitten by a giant beast.

But in the so-called "dream" that Lou Lan just called, such scars belonged to the group of zombies who had invaded their brains by the virus and only knew how to eat......

She looked at the images on the TV almost with horror on her face, and wanted to watch the images of the corpse just now, but she only heard: "...... That's all for today's news broadcast, thank you for watching, and see you soon. ”

When the news broadcast ended, the newscaster inside had already left the screen, but Lou Lan was still staring at the date in the lower left corner of the TV screen.

2020/5/13。

According to the memory of the "dream", the time of the zombie virus outbreak was May 15, 2020, and there were only three days from the 13th to the 15th.

If all the "dreams" are true, then there are still three days before the real end of the world!

But if there is really an apocalypse, why do zombies that are only found after the apocalypse appear so early......
