Chapter 3: A Man in a Red Jacket

"What now?" said Snow. The darkness in front of them made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Dust now has no choice but to hold on to the snow tightly. His body was so tired that even talking was a luxury. There was still incomparably darkness in the sky, and that huge black ball was quietly shrouded in this silent world, and in front of them, this was a barrier that could never be broken.

They are like a lonely boat in the vast sea, they are afraid, they are desperate, but even a glimmer of hope, light, they rely on each other, they can feel each other's existence, it is enough.

In the long night, in the silence of absolute death, the only light they could seek was each other, warmth.

Dust and Snow hugged each other tightly, and I don't know how long it had been, Dust felt that his hands and legs had become numb, and his blood seemed to have frozen. But he still didn't dare to leave, and moved half a step. He was afraid that even if he was, accidentally, lose her figure in the dark, that warm support. His eyelids were heavy, and he wanted to fall asleep like this, but in this terrible darkness, he didn't dare, he was afraid of losing her.

How can you let go?

His tinnitus sounded like the roars of monsters and the screams of humans. In the haze, he seemed to see the end of the world, the end of prosperity. As if he was standing on the top of a mountain, he raised his left hand and clenched his fist, pointing straight to the sky and looking down at the common people. "It's for the world. He heard the response of many callers.

"It's for the world!"

"It's for the world!"

"It's for the world!"

He stood at the top, pointing out to the great darkness above the dome. From time to time, he woke up from a dream, and in the great darkness, he could no longer distinguish between the virtual and the real. Only that warmth is the most real existence.

He hugged the snow tightly, even though he didn't know how hard he was pushing.

......

When the sky finally glowed with a touch of fish belly white, and the sun rose as usual, Dust really wanted to cry, he had never been so longing for the light one day. Once upon a time, even yesterday, when the sun was setting in the west and the night was gradually engulfing the last rays of sunshine, he did not think so. This is the law of nature, and he is accustomed to it. But now, he longed for such a newborn sunshine, a longing that he had never had—that the drowning man was pulled ashore, and he walked in the desert and saw a lake, which was indescribable, when the first rays of sunshine fell, that longing.

When the darkness faded, the world regained its light, brightened, and the whole seemed to be a better place. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the girl in his arms. The snow had fallen asleep at some point, and her beautiful face had a quiet smile. She leaned on this warm shoulder and slept comfortably.

What a heartless girl. Dusty petted her hair indulgently.

Dust really wanted to just hug the snow now, and then squint his eyes and fall asleep. His head was dizzy, and his eyes were bloodshot, also from overwork and fright. But he also understands that now is not the time to sleep, and he is not sure if it is safe.

"It's time to get up, little lazy bug. Dust kissed her little cheek. The snow still doesn't wake up.

At this time, the incomparably large black ball in the sky had disappeared without a trace with the revelation of the sun, as if such a terrifying darkness had never appeared in this world. Suddenly, there was a trance and the Ferris wheel began to rotate again, although it moved very slowly, but the dust really felt the operation of the Ferris wheel, and they slowly descended from the top, little by little, but extremely real.

"Snow, do you see it? We're saved, we're saved, haha!" Dust shouted ecstatically to Xue in his arms. However, the snow still did not wake up.

"Snow, snow?" Dust shook her, but she still ignored it, still unconscious.

"Xue, what's wrong with you?" the stone that Chen had just put down from his heart hung up in an instant, he didn't know what happened to Xue, after a night of devastation, especially the uncle who had become a monster, he was afraid that someone he knew would also become like that, and he didn't know what to do.

Chen's eyes were full of worry, and he suddenly remembered the monster that was knocked down into the bottomless darkness by his own punch yesterday, what if it really didn't die?

The Ferris wheel turns slowly. Although the newborn sun shines on the beauty of this world, the dust has no intention of watching.

"Snow ......"

No matter how worried they were, begging for a slower time, it was completely useless, and the Ferris wheel box they were in came to a steady stop. Dust raised his head and looked at the world of the amusement park outside, it was empty, and the uncle who had turned into a monster yesterday was gone. He made sure that there was nothing strange nearby, and then slowly pushed the door open, took the turned off phone into his pocket, and then gently placed the snow on his back, and picked her up to prepare to leave this place of right and wrong.

Snow is still very lightweight, and it seems that she has always maintained her figure. This gave Dust a little relief. Now his head is dizzy and fluttery, and he can't support much weight.

Then he carried her on his back and quietly but quickly began to walk out of the Ferris wheel box. He didn't know what had happened to Xue, but the most urgent place to go was the hospital, and he had to wait until Xue was placed in place.

Dust once again confirmed that there were indeed no people or monsters nearby, and his hanging heart dropped a little.

He walked all the way, looking at this silent amusement park, and couldn't help but have a sense of being out of the world. But one day, yesterday's amusement park was full of visitors, noise, cheerfulness, and occasional exclamations, forming a complex and irregular, but full of human feelings. The noise of the crowd seemed to be right in front of him, and then disappeared without a trace.

He noticed the shadows under the sun, and though the light shone brightly on the world, the shadows that were revealed were particularly eerie, though not as chilling as the blackness of the night, but ......

Although the sun is now covering the world, the world is still eerie and terrifying. Although his head was fluttering now, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he quickly accelerated his pace and quickly escaped from this amusement park.

He looked at the snow on his back again, and he was still sleeping so quietly, like a fairy who was not stained with fireworks in the world, showing a faint smile, but he was still unconscious, which made Chen feel a pain in his heart.

"Snow, what's wrong with you?"

After running out of the amusement park, the streets were still empty. In the past, many elderly people have already gotten up to start exercising, and many vendors are ready to prepare breakfast for customers today. But now there is no one. He was really desperate to find someone to talk to, someone he could talk to, no one or stranger, as long as he was a little bit freed from that feeling of devouring his heart, loneliness and fear.

The sun stretched the shadows of dust and snow for a long time, and walked through the empty streets, as if they were the last survivors in the world, searching for the continent in a lonely boat.

His heart sank. His phone screen went black because it didn't have enough power, and he couldn't tell from the Internet what was going on, where did this darkness come from, and why did it come about?

What about the hospital? Is there still a living person in the hospital? Dust realizes that he can't rejoice that the darkness is gone and the light has returned again, and he must always be vigilant about this world that has become strange to him—now, he is only one person.

Only the one on his back is the motivation for him to continue to persevere, and it is the source of his strength.

A lot of fine sweat broke out on Chen's forehead, and although it was true that Xue's weight was not too heavy, his consciousness gradually fell into a blur. The road in front of him was ghosted, and his body began to shake violently, and he began to stagger, and soon fell, half-kneeling on the ground.

"Fall down here, sleep. A demonic voice came out of my heart, like a temptation.

"No, you have to go on. There were two different voices in Chen's heart, they were two flames in his heart, one was burning black, and it was extremely powerful, occupying the absolute upper hand, and the other was a weak white that could not be checked, although it was pitiful, but it was still persistent, full of a fearlessness that would not admit defeat.

It seemed that I was in a dream again, standing on the top of the world, overlooking the dark crowd at my feet, shouting that slogan.

"It's for the world!"

"It's for the world!"

"It's for the world!"

For the world? What kind of world is it?

The white flame in the heart of the dust seemed to have become a little stronger. He stood up and stepped forward to move on. He didn't know how he had the strength to continue to stand up and move forward, still slowly, but with an unmistakable firmness.

The snow on his back was still unconscious. He's still walking.

The distance from the hospital is actually not too far, but the dust still walked for a long time to arrive. Even I felt incredible. He was very sure that his body actually no longer had the strength to move on, even if he had the support of strong mental strength, if his body didn't allow it, he couldn't do anything. But really, it's a miracle that he was able to get here with the snow on his back.

Will there still be people alive in the hospital? Even if there is a glimmer of hope, Chen will not give up. But whether he believed it or not, the sun was fully revealed in the whole world. Thankfully, there were no clouds today.

"Hey, living?" suddenly appeared in the blurred vision of a man smoking a cigarette, wearing sunglasses, carrying a knife, and wearing a red jacket.

"Who are you?"
