Chapter 7: Parting
"Of course, that's not what I'm talking about. Yan looked in the rearview mirror, "The night has caused you to lose your family and friends, I'm sorry, we don't have anything particularly good." But the Nightfall has given you the power to resist the darkness, and to be able to make it stronger enough to protect others from what we have experienced. So...... "Yan freed up a hand, "are you willing to join Huaxia?"
Yan suddenly threw an olive branch at them unexpectedly. Of course, Dust and Snow had expected it in advance, after all, they were all supernatural people now, and they should be combined to resist the darkness together. But when Yan really proposed and asked them to join, the two still didn't react.
"Brother Chen, although we have only known each other for half a day, you should know something about my personality. Believe me, we Huaxia also work for the country, and we will all see you as a brother like me, and we will never owe you. Yan patted his chest, compared to a thumbs up.
"You think I'm verbose......" Dust muttered carefully.
"Well, that's, but I'm a little impatient, sorry, Brother Chen. "Yan is sincere.
"Okay. "Dust and Snow discussed it and planned to join, in fact, they have nowhere to go, things gather like people, this is our human instinct.
"Then tell us about the ghosts. What kind of thing are they?" Chen's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, after all, he and Xue's parents were inseparable from each other, and they had become ghosts. And in the days after the visual inspection, they will fight with these ghosts, so they have to investigate the situation in advance.
"Well, that's a long story. Yan looked out the window at the vibrant world, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and from time to time the chirping of apes could be heard from afar.
"Ghosts are born out of the night. What you saw last night, the gray needles, is the root cause of these ghosts. Until now, we didn't know what it was, but we named it, the Ghost Elixir. All we now know is that the ghost agent appears to be a living creature that has its own autonomy, being able to choose its own host and turn people into ghosts. ”
"At first, their strength was weak, but this is only for us, and it is still very killing power for those ordinary humans. They are like the mother body of a pack of zombies, and the speed of their spread is simply unheard of before. Yan still has lingering palpitations.
"I was in the crowd, and I couldn't see anything, I couldn't see my fingers, really, I couldn't see anything. I wondered why people didn't make a sound, didn't take out their phones for lighting, just stayed where they were, and didn't do anything. ”
"The symbol of the initial level of the ghost is that the eyes are dark green. At that time, I didn't notice the ghost elixir, but I simply saw that several small green dots began to appear in the dense crowd around me. At first, I didn't think about it, and I just sat silently with the crowd, innocently waiting for rescue. Then I realized that something was wrong, and I saw that the dark green dots in the night began to increase dramatically, and began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the speed of propagation was so fast that at that time, it seemed to me that such a speed of propagation was like a visible sound began to transmit wildly. I was scared, and the ghost-only roar went from faint to clear, low and terrifying. ”
"At that time, I was witty, and the desire to survive finally overwhelmed the instinctive inertia, and I ran away when people began to turn into ghosts one by one, and I ran wildly in the night with all my strength. When I fall, I get up, fall again, get up again. At that time, I had only one thought in my mind, which was to leave like that, the farther away the better. Later, I couldn't run anymore, and I couldn't see the terrifying dark green floating in the night, and I couldn't hear the ghost's low roar, so I just collapsed on the ground, and the cold and rough feeling didn't stop me from falling unconscious. ”
"It wasn't until I woke up that it was already daylight. I looked up and saw as if I had fallen in the right place, and if no ghost had spotted me, I had escaped. And I also found out that I have an ability in my body......"
Yan couldn't help but sigh, "All in all, I'm lucky. Actually, everyone is lucky to survive, isn't it?" Dust and Snow nodded, empathetic.
"Ghosts spread very quickly, as long as they have sharp claws on their bodies, or fangs, but mortals stick a little, they will quickly assimilate into ghosts in a few seconds, and there is no chance of survival. ”
"Ghosts are afraid of the sun, and I've told you about this before. However, they have the property that they can hide in the shadows and can travel in the shadows. Dust looked through the rearview mirror and saw Yan with a solemn face.
"So far, we have no solution, and we don't know why they have the ability to do this. All we know is that where there are shadows, they are the world. During the day, the sun is enough to deter them from making a mistake. But the night is different, where the night encroaches on the night, there is night every night, and it hangs over the city, providing the ghosts with more powerful energy. ”
"In this way, they are getting stronger and stronger, entrenching themselves in the shadows of the cities where we once lived, encroaching on our homes...... Alas, I don't know when it was a head. ”
The two of them, who were listening quietly, also felt that the road ahead was so confused, the future was chaotic and unknowable, they could only be forced to move forward, and no one knew where the end of the road was. After listening to what Yan said to them, at least the two of them had a short-term goal and a long-term goal.
Kill ghosts.
Stay alive.
Now, the people who know Dust and Snow have turned into evil spirits in the city, and they only have each other, their gaze, the warmth of hugging, and their clenched little hands.
They only have each other, and that's what they believe in to live.
"Do you have any other questions?" Yan looked through the rearview mirror and saw the two of them pondering in the back seat, knowing that they were slowly digesting the information they had just said, so he simply stopped talking and began to concentrate on driving.
The three of them spent the tedious journey in silence.
The sun is at its highest, and noon is the time when yang energy is at its peak. I saw that Yan slowly slowed down the speed of the car, and the dust and snow could barely see the things around them, and from blurry to clear - it was another city. It's a crowded place with a lot of people.
This makes the dust and snow a little uncomfortable. But the stone in their hearts finally fell, because they finally saw people and smelled the breath that belonged to human beings.
Although it was only half a day, they had a sense of being out of the world.
"It's time to get there. Yan touched his nose, "When you get to the twentieth entrance, you will report my name, and there will be a special person to arrange for you." ”
"Huh?" asked Dusty in confusion, "won't you come with us?"
"Nope. Yan replied, "I still have a lot of tasks to do, so I won't go back to the base for the time being." I hope that after you become a member of Huaxia, we can fight side by side to resist the darkness together. ”
Yan slowly stopped the car, and Dust and Snow noticed that this was the airport, and from time to time there would be the rumbling sound of planes whistling by. Yan snapped his fingers, and the Porsche disappeared into thin air, and the three of them immediately stood firmly on the ground.
Yan stretched out a hand, "I hope I'll see you again in the future." ”
"Of course. Dust grabbed his outstretched hand and clenched it, "Thank you, Yan, for saving us from the abyss." Dust and Snow bowed deeply to Yan, "Really, thank you very much." ”
Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Finally, I will send you a familiar word, Brother Chen, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." ”
Yan snapped his fingers and disappeared.
"Dust, let's go. Snow came over and took his hand.
The planes landed and took off, and the rumbling was incessant. This is a city inhabited by people, and airplanes are the crystallization of human ingenuity. The words that Yan said kept coming up in Chen's heart.
"With great power comes great responsibility. ”
Before that, he was just an ordinary high school student, who had never been worried about the country and the people, and he didn't know what responsibility was. But when this heavy weight weighed on him, he immediately understood the words he had seen in the book.
"There is no time to be quiet, but there are people who carry the weight for you. ”
Dust turned his head, looked at Xue's beautiful cheeks, and clasped the back of Xue's hand with his backhand.
It's for the world. This sentence came to Chen's mind again. In order for no one to suffer like them, he must bear the burden and carry the burden for others.
The world, the country, the city, and the people around you.
"Let's go. The two men then walked forward, not dragging their feet, firm and unquestionable. I don't know if it's the effect of the night that makes them mature all of a sudden, and no longer like yesterday when they were students, innocent and living in the flowers in the greenhouse.
Or is it that you feel the heavy sense of responsibility on your shoulders? People will always grow up at a certain moment, and even they will be caught off guard.
......
Dust searched for a long time before he noticed where the twentieth mouth was. For some reason, there were so many people in the huge airport that not even one of them noticed that there was a boarding area. Maybe it's an ability?Dust doesn't think there's any other possibility. Dust walked in and found a waitress at the front desk playing with her phone.
"We were introduced by Yan. He said. This made the girl's eyes take her eyes off her phone.
The young lady couldn't help but look at the two of them a few more times, "Huaxia?"
"Hmm. ”
"I see. The young lady took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "It's not easy for you to survive." ”
Before the two of them could say anything, she continued to say quickly, "Time is pressing, you come with me, and I'll take you on the plane." ”
After saying that, he stood up and led the two of them inside.
