Chen really didn't see any other survivors along the way, only the breathing sound of himself and Yan was so clear and heavy. The empty silence made Chen feel even more frightened, and he couldn't help but worry about the safety of the snow.

"Don't worry. Yan seemed to see a worried look in his eyes, "Your little girlfriend is protected by my Xiao Luo, and she is very safe." ”

"Xiao Luo?"

"Ah, it's just a cat that has always been supernatural. Yan shrugged, "Nothing special. ”

Although Dust sensed that he was hiding something, he didn't think much of it. He was amazed at his body, and now it seemed that there was an inexhaustible strength, and the power continued to surge, merging into the muscles of his limbs, constantly replenishing the power in his body, and becoming stronger and stronger. He really couldn't imagine it, but how long it took, the amplitude of the sun didn't seem to be much deflected, and in just a short period of time, he began to burst out with great strength from incomparable weakness, like a force that had been suppressed for a long time.

Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to himself: "Interesting, it seems to be some kind of ability to enhance physical fitness." ”

Even Chen himself didn't notice that his running speed was much faster than that of professional athletes in the original world, and he didn't seem to have much time to run home. Chen's home is in the community, which is an apartment. Although the family is not too big or too rich, their family lives in harmony, ordinary and happy. They had never had any quarrels, and Jean Chen sighed more than once, compared to his classmates, he was already very happy.

But who would have imagined that just overnight, when many people thought it was just an ordinary night, the real darkness came. The current neighborhood is also like the street outside, empty, except for him and Yan, there is no one else breathing. Whether he believed it or not, his heart sank gradually. The probability of their survival is not very large. But after all, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how can you be sure and jump to conclusions? Chen clenched his fist.

He was ready to go upstairs.

"Wait a minute. Yan's figure flashed to Chen's face like a ghost. "Don't go in yet. ”

"Why?" asked Dusty in confusion.

Yan looked up at the building, and after a while, he said, "There are dozens of ghosts in it, and the strength is not too strong." So you follow me, and I protect you in. ”

"Ghost?" Chen remembered the uncle last night, and he remembered the hideous face clearly.

"Haven't you seen a ghost?" Yan was slightly surprised, but quickly relieved. "Yes, when you see ghosts still alive, I don't believe that ghosts can be so merciful. ”

"No, we've seen it. "Dust told him about the uncle who turned into a ghost last night, and that tiny gray needle, what the hell is it?

"I can't say this for a while, so let's talk about it together when the time comes. He waved his hand, "Hurry up." Yan still carried the big knife on his shoulder, and then ......, "Why don't you open the door first?"

“......”

The two quickly went up to the fifth floor. Although there were no ghosts attacking them, the dust looked at the gloomy and gloomy unit building, which looked a little scary. The lights in the corridors are voice-activated, and he has to carefully wake them up with his hands on each floor. Although the lights were very dim, it also made Dust a little more reassured.

Dust's home is on the fifth floor. After he woke up the lamp in the hallway, he took out the key in his pocket, and then put it in the keyhole, turning slowly, as if opening an ancient, dusty door for a long time, with a solemn and solemn expression, as if he was performing some mysterious and sacred ritual. A cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"Hurry up and open the door, what are you doing with all this bells and whistles? There's no ghost in there. Yan counted him impatiently, "If you slow down, you won't be able to catch the plane." ”

"Airplanes?"

"Hurry up, rambling. I'll explain it to you on the way. ”

Dust took a deep breath and twisted the key to the end. The door opened.

This is the home where he has lived for seventeen years, and he knows every part of it well. The room was empty, with a TV remote control, a laptop, and half a bag of garbage in the trash can that had not had time to be emptied, and leftover bones were thrown in the bone dish, and now lying quietly on the dining table.

He was familiar with it all. None of this seems to have changed in more than a decade.

"Are you going to see you again?" he was a little reluctant. Leaving this comfortable day, running into the distant and unknowable future, chaotic, vague, and dark.

Yan put his other hand on Chen's shoulder. "Grab something you have to bring with you and leave. ”

"What about my parents?" Chen looked at his parents' bedroom with the door half-closed, their wedding photos still on the wall, with a happy face. But......

"Most likely, it's already ......," Yan patted Chen's shoulder, "I'm in charge of this area, and I don't have anyone else alive now except for you and your little girlfriend." ”

"How so?" dust slumped to the ground, tears began to flow unconsciously. He had even the slightest glimmer of hope, he wanted his parents to be alive, which was why he and Xue had to come back. He loved his parents, and for seventeen years, they had raised themselves so that they didn't even notice that their hair was already a little gray, and they gave everything they had for themselves, for their son. However, because of his shyness and the so-called reserve of the young man, he didn't even have time to say thank you. His father once told him, "Son, family, there is no need to say thank you." ”

Dust still remembers his father's serious smile at that time, which Dust will never forget, just like Xue's smile, it is a memory worth cherishing in his life. Maybe when you really lose it, you will understand how much you don't cherish it.

"Grab your stuff and let's go. Although Yan has experienced many things, she still has a lot of feelings about this kind of family affection.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. Dust wiped away his tears and clenched his fists, "I didn't even say goodbye to you properly." Sorry ......"

Yan couldn't help but sigh beside him, in fact, there was one more cruel thing he didn't tell Chen, ghosts, it was changed by people.

Although Yan didn't know if Dust could guess it, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether Chen's parents were wandering in the shadows, it was better not to tell him about this kind of thing, and he had to leave this place quickly and wait until later to make plans.

Dusty silently, he immediately stood up and picked up a schoolbag, and began to stuff things into it, mobile phones, power banks, clothes, etc.

"Let's go. After a while, Dust picked up everything he needed to bring and put it in his bag.

Yan silently opened the door, and suddenly his eyes changed, "Be careful!"

Dust suddenly saw that a mysterious distortion had suddenly begun in the shadows where the light could not shine, and it seemed that something was wriggling. Suddenly, a hand with completely festering skin crawled out, and with it, the ghost's head came out with it. Like the uncle he saw last night, he stared at a pair of terrifying dark green eyes, his skin was close to complete ulceration, and he let out a terrifying roar.

"Uncle Li?" Chen blurted out.

"Uncle Li" didn't react, he crawled out of the shadows and wanted to attack the two. But the moment his festering hands touched the light, it flinched, then leaned out, and retreated, and so on.

"Brother Yan, what is Uncle Li?" Chen suddenly remembered that the uncle yesterday had also become like this. He suddenly had a terrible guess. But he didn't dare to be sure, and he didn't want to face it.

Yan glanced at the dust with complicated eyes, "This is the ghost." He wanted to prevaricate, but he would know sooner or later.

"Ghosts don't dare to touch light, especially sunlight, as long as it touches for a few seconds, it will turn to ashes, leaving no trace. But in addition to the sun's rays, or our special weapons, yes, we also have our own abilities, which can kill ghosts. ”

"The ghost is unconscious, it only acts on its instincts. And...... As long as people become ghosts, so far, there are no examples of them being able to turn them back. ”

"Uncle Li......" He could only watch the people he knew look hideous, but he unconsciously waved his claws at him, and Chen's heart was full of pain.

"Let's go straight away. Dust tugged at Yan's sleeves, "Your kung fu is so good, why don't you jump down with me?"

Yan nodded, he knew that if he wanted to go out through the main gate, he would have to kill all the ghosts, that is, people who were still alive since yesterday, and he understood that this was still a little cruel to Chen. Although he has faced countless partings of life and death, his heart has long been cold and numb, and he has no feeling for this anymore. However, in order to take care of Chen's emotions, after all, he will also become a brother who fights side by side with him in the future, so he has to help take care of it.

"Okay, you just jump off. ”

"I'm going to jump straight down?" Dust didn't look like Yan was joking.

"Hurry up. Yan urged. There seemed to be more ghosts gathering in the shadows, surging out like a fountain.

Dust took a deep breath, put the bag on his back, and then no longer hesitated, suddenly opened the door outside the balcony, and jumped down directly.

"I've grown so big, I haven't jumped over the building yet. This sentence suddenly flashed coldly in Chen's mind. How beautiful it is to be alive, but how many people jump off a building because of the difficulty of life, because they can't think about it for a while, what can they get in the end? Freedom and the relief of death? No, no, it is the beginning of the pain of the person who loves you.

The moment she jumped, she thought a lot, her parents, siblings, classmates, and Xue, her bright, talking eyes. He couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the moment a person touched the brink of death, a lot of pictures would really appear in his mind, and the scenes would continue to pass by, turning into smoke and drifting away.

Time seemed to slow down, and he took one last look at the balcony that was fading away. Could this be the last time he looks at the home that shelters him from the wind and rain?

Chen's vision suddenly blurred, and the picture in front of him suddenly turned right. He was unscathed.

Yan was still carrying the big knife, standing next to him, and twisted his head, "Let's go." ”
