Chapter 115: The Wasteland
The sky was gray, and there was no sun, no clouds, and no birds passing through the sky.
On the ground was a patch of withered yellow weeds that could not be seen, and the weeds were so luxuriant that they reached the knees, forming a decaying barrenness.
Zhang Yi stood in the center of this withered grass, and there was a dead silence as far as his eyes could see, unable to distinguish between southeast and northwest, and could not distinguish the geographical location.
Raise your foot and step on the dead grass, the dead grass immediately fell and broke into pieces with a sound like bones breaking, a gust of wind came out, and some dust seeds in the dead grass rose with the wind, forming a gray cloud of smoke above the dead grass, like a large swarm of flying locusts.
It's like a dreamlike scene, where you can't see the hanging sun in the sky, but you can feel the summer heat, and the burning sensation of strong eyes shining on your body.
I don't know how long I walked and still didn't see the edge, and I still couldn't determine where I was, but Zhang Yi felt tired and had a dry mouth, he licked his dry and chapped lips with his tongue, and tried his best to raise his neck to look into the distance, there was still nothing in the distance, only the dry grass swaying gently in the breeze.
Dead silence, still dead silence, despair instantly swept Zhang Yi's whole body, he spread his legs and threw off his arms and ran the dry grass, and there was a rumbling sound behind him.
Zhang Yi stopped and looked back, only to see that the ground behind him began to shake, and then cracks like spider webs appeared, and then the cracks began to slowly grow larger, forming bottomless ditches.
Seeing that the crack was about to engulf him, Zhang Yi ran forward like crazy, but a familiar cry for help came from behind him.
Stopped and turned around, through the dust that covered the sky and the sun, I saw a girl wearing a blue school uniform and carrying a schoolbag standing on the edge of a crack, although I couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but from the schoolbag Zhang Yi could clearly identify that it was Li Xiaoqing, because there was a brown Kumamon bear hanging on the zipper of the schoolbag, this Kumamon puppet was given by Li Xiaoqing on the first day of school.
"Li Xiaoqing, jump here, hurry!"
Standing on the edge of the crack, watching the distance between him and Li Xiaoqing getting bigger and bigger, not long after, Li Xiaoqing was about to fall into the bottomless abyss with the ground, Zhang Yi was very anxious, he tried his best to reach out but couldn't touch Li Xiaoqing, but the gap in the crack was gradually widening.
"Jump, jump." Zhang Yi shouted again, but it had no effect, Li Xiaoqing may have been extremely frightened and forgot her instinct to save herself, she just stretched out her two thin hands in panic and looked at Zhang Yi helplessly.
The surrounding land has begun to collapse in a large area, and the environment in which Li Xiaoqing is located is like an island in the sea, on this isolated island she is about to be swallowed up, but the only person who can save her is Zhang Yi, although Zhang Yi does not have this ability, but Zhang Yi is her only one in this world.
didn't take care of Li Xiaoya, Zhang Yi was already feeling self-reproachful, if Li Xiaoqing lost his life because of this, Zhang Yi would definitely be in pain.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi took a few steps back and jumped, and his body fell from the air like a bird to this isolated island that was about to collapse.
Li Xiaoqing hugged Zhang Yi tightly, a happy smile appeared on her originally frightened and helpless face, she smiled at the withered grass breaking, smiled at the smoke and dust, and smiled at the ground was about to sweep them away and collapse completely.
Zhang Yi hugged Li Xiaoqing with all his strength and was about to jump back again, but when the ground was just exerting force on his feet, the surface of his feet was soft, and then the heavens and the earth were spinning, and his eyes were dark, and the whole person was plunged into endless darkness.
In the fright, Zhang Yi sat up suddenly, he looked around, and found that he was covered with a blanket, Li Xiaoqing was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and bursts of fragrance wafted from the direction of the kitchen.
Looking at Li Xiaoqing's busy figure, Zhang Yi's mood suddenly improved a lot, this feeling made people a little sour and a little happy.
I got up and opened the curtains, and found that it was already evening, and half of the sun was as red as drunk hanging on the edge of the city, bathing the entire Jialin City in a dazzling red light, looking like a city in a fairyland.
looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yi suddenly felt his body tremble, as if he felt that something had not been done.
Suddenly, a blue elderly mobile phone on the bed came into Zhang Yi's field of vision, Zhang Yi slapped his thigh and screamed, and rushed out of the room, but he and Li Xiaoqing, who came from the kitchen, almost got into trouble.
Li Xiaoqing looked at the panicked Zhang Yi and asked gently, "What's wrong, have a nightmare?" With that, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the beads of sweat oozing from Zhang Yi's forehead.
Seeing Li Xiaoqing, Zhang Yi calmed down all of a sudden, that Liu Dong threatened him with Li Xiaoqing, but now that Li Xiaoqing is on the side, it is superfluous to worry.
Zhang Yi avoided Li Xiaoqing's wipe with a red face, and said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare, by the way, what is delicious to eat today?" ”
"Fried sauce noodles" Li Xiaoqing turned around and took off her apron, and brought out two bowls of noodles and a bowl of fried sauce with full color and flavor from the kitchen.
Zhang Yi walked to the table and pulled out a chair to enjoy the food, but suddenly heard the sound of the mobile phone, he took out the mobile phone and looked at it, and his body became stiff instantly, and the hands holding the two chopsticks shook violently.
In the phone is a text message, the content of the text message is a photo, the photo of Huang Ling tied to an iron post, she stares forward with a pair of terrifying eyes, and her mouth is completely deformed by a black strip of cloth.
Underneath the photo is a line that reads: You have fifty-eight minutes left, and if you don't find me in fifty-eight minutes, her body will be hanging from that crooked-necked tree in the ravine.
You can call the police, but the end result is that I'm in a mental hospital, her body still hanging from a crooked neck tree, and it's six o'clock, and at six fifty-eight the game ends and the game begins.
Looking at the six past five on the phone, Zhang Yi jumped up from the chair as if he rebounded, he stuffed the phone into his pocket, touched the bone knife in his arms and turned around and ran towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
Zhang Yi looked back and saw Li Xiaoqing standing behind him, looking at her with a pair of resentful eyes, obviously she was a little angry.
Zhang Yi raised his hand a little embarrassed and patted Li Xiaoqing's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoqing, now I'm in a bit of a hurry and can't accompany you to dinner, I have to go immediately." ”
After speaking, Zhang Yi hurriedly opened the door but felt that someone was tugging at the corner of his clothes behind him, he looked back and found that it was still Li Xiaoqing, she was pulling his coat, a pair of big bright eyes looked at him without blinking, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were about to fall in the next moment.
"I'm sorry, I'll explain it to you when I get back"
There was no extra time for Zhang Yi to be wasted, Zhang Yi slammed his force, Li Xiaoqing's hand fell off Zhang Yi's body, only to hear a bang, Zhang Yi pulled the door and hurriedly ran to the elevator room.
Walking out of the elevator room, Zhang Yi hurriedly stopped a taxi, it was about three kilometers away from the private hospital in the suburbs, and now there were a lot of cars on the road at this point, so it might take about ten minutes, and the time he could use was more than thirty minutes.
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and Zhang Yi looked at the photos on his phone and hurriedly ran towards the tin houses by the reeds.
