Prologue: Amnesia or Travel
What is this place?
Why am I here?
Ran Xin struggled to sit up, looked around, and found himself in a ruin.
The surrounding houses were all in ruins, some of the walls of the houses were left with black ash similar to those left by the bombardment of artillery shells, and some houses were left with dried blood stains, as if they had just experienced a major battle, and the gray sky made me feel even more terrible.
Is this a deserted city?
Ran Xin tried hard to find in his memory, trying to know where he was, but he had no impression at all, except for his name, Ran Xin couldn't remember any memories related to himself and this place.
Did you have amnesia?
Or is she, as written in the novel, crossed?
Ran Xin shook his head and slapped away his extremely ridiculous idea.
So, where are you?
Ran Xin moved his stiff hands and feet, slowly stood up, and began to walk around aimlessly and watch.
What the hell is this place?
Why not one?
"Hey! Is there anyone? Ran Xin shouted around with all his might, but there was no response.
Oh no, it should be said that there are no living or normal people responding to her.
Because after Ran Xin finished shouting, he found that a similar figure was shaking in the distance, Ran Xin thought that he had finally met someone, and immediately ran towards the figure quickly.
But after running a few steps, Ran Xin noticed that something was wrong, those people didn't look like normal people at first glance, their hair was unkempt, their clothes were ragged, their eyes were dull, and their bodies were moving straight and slowly, like robots.
Ran Xin didn't dare to go any further, out of caution, she just stood there and looked at those weirdos.
An even more terrifying scene happened suddenly without warning, she saw that when two abnormal people came together face to face, they immediately began to attack each other fiercely, as if the robot had suddenly pressed the activation button.
Ran Xin kept stepping back in fear, but his eyes were always fixed on the two people who were killing each other.
I saw that the two people were constantly and ferociously scratching and biting each other, just like primitive animals hunting prey, and their dull eyes revealed a ferocity full of blood.
This "fight" continued until one was bitten through the throat of the other and died.
Ran Xin couldn't believe it, her hands tightly covered her mouth, and the terrifying and bloody scene made her feel uncomfortable churning in her stomach, and she couldn't stop retching.
But soon Ran Xin didn't have time to stand here disgusting and retching, and she found that the person who had bitten someone to death continued to walk forward slowly, approaching her step by step.
Ran Xin didn't want to be bitten to death by that person, so she immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction, but it didn't take long for Ran Xin to find that there were more than a dozen such people around her.
The men were all blinded, stiff and walking step by step like robots, but they were clearly coming in her direction, as if she had some kind of positioning device on her body.
Ran Xin couldn't think about what kind of place this was anymore, and ran forward desperately, but where was the end, where would there be no strange people, Ran Xin didn't know at all.
Despair and fear haunted Ran Xin, she didn't want to be bitten to death by those strange people, and she didn't want to stay in this strange place all the time, she was afraid that she would become as weird as those people if she stayed for a long time.
Ran Xin turned his head to look behind him from time to time as he ran, wanting to see if those people had caught up with him.
She found that the weirdos didn't seem to be directed at her, and that they would start scuffling, biting, and trying their best to kill each other whenever they met another person.
What the hell is this place?
Ran Xin looked around again, but in addition to desolation or desolation, except for abandoned houses, it was these weirdos, as if there was only one normal person left in the whole world.
Ran Xin didn't believe that there was only one normal person left in this place, she felt that she must not have run to the right place, so Ran Xin continued to run in the opposite direction of the weirdo, but until Ran Xin couldn't run anymore, she still didn't see a normal person like herself.
On the contrary, this seems to be the world of these weirdos, and no matter which broken house, there will be one or two such weirdos appearing, men and women, old people and children, but their expressions are the same.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Ran Xin had such a strange thought in his mind, and he couldn't help pinching himself.
"Shhhh It hurts," Ran Xin was sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Since I'm not dreaming, what am I going to do?" Ran Xin had no idea at all, and her blank brain made her completely unable to think of what to do.
Because of the long run, and the sky was getting dark, Ran Xin felt that his stomach was very hungry, but Ran Xin found that he was only wearing a set of sports tights, and there was not a dime on his body, and there was nothing to use to satisfy his hunger.
Just as Ran Xin was thinking about what he should find to satisfy his hunger, he found that a group of strange people appeared behind him, this time there were even more than the last time, and it seemed that there were dozens of them.
Ran Xin was so frightened that he ran as hard as he could, and his mind was full of the situation where he had seen that strange man bite another strange person to death. Ran Xin only felt a tremor all over his body, and his steps unconsciously sped up a few points.
However, those weirdos seemed to be controlled by some program, and they slowly gathered behind Ran Xin and ran after her.
"You weirdos, don't follow me, I don't want to be like you!" Ran Xin screamed as hard as he ran, and fear and despair once again lingered in Ran Xin's heart.
Ran Xin wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry because he was more afraid of death, for fear that if he cried, he would not be able to run, and he would be killed by those strange people.
"Help! Who's going to save me! Ran Xin shouted in his heart as he ran.
Because of hunger, Ran Xin ran slower and slower, and seeing that the group of weirdos was only fifty meters away from her, Ran Xin felt that she might really be finished this time.
Just when Ran Xin was desperate and thought that he would be killed by those strange people in the next second, several beams of bright light shone on him, so that Ran Xin couldn't open his eyes at all and immediately blocked it with his hand.
Before Ran Xin could react to what those beams were, he heard a fierce gunshot, which frightened Ran Xin directly knelt on the ground and held his head, not daring to move.
Until the sound of the gunfire disappeared, Ran Xin still did not wake up from the shock, and his whole body kept trembling.
"Who are you?" A cold, temperatureless voice came into Ran Xin's ears.
Ran Xin tried hard to raise his head, wanting to see the appearance of the person in front of him, but he couldn't see anything clearly because of the backlight, only knowing that it was a tall man with a straight body like a knife in front of him, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
