Chapter 7: Disappearing

Time flies, less than an hour before the sun appears.

At present, the traffic of the entire city has been completely paralyzed, and the two can do almost nothing but wait for rescue.

Conglu's original plan was to take Wendys to find a large supermarket, prepare food and water, and then hide and wait for the state's rescue.

But the whole world is still watching, and it seems a little unreasonable not to do something.

So for the next few tens of minutes, he took Wendys to the evacuation center from the side of the road, and at the same time showed the world the current situation in Hawaii.

After getting used to the piles of white skeletons, people didn't think the scene was so terrifying.

It wasn't until they were told from the road that the white shards on the ground were human bones, and that the whole street had been flooded with blood, that people felt creepy.

"Thank you for the important information you provided, I believe that with this information, we can save more people, and then we will organize the people of the whole country to evacuate, you also go to find a place to hide, don't give up no matter what, once there is a chance, the country will send a rescue team to rescue you, come on, heroes!" The voice sounds familiar, and it should have been heard on the news broadcast when I changed the channel occasionally.

I didn't remember who that person was for a long time, and by the time he came back to his senses, the call had ended.

From the road, Wendys continued to the shelter, and as they passed the supermarket, they picked up some food and water.

At first, Wendys was a little resistant, until she lied to her that she had put the money on the counter, and she hesitated to take some food.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the refuge center, but what they didn't expect was that the door of the refuge center was closed, and a large crowd of people were shouting outside the door.

Conglu couldn't understand what those people were shouting at all, and Xiaohua's translation also made him speechless. Nothing of value was heard, except for the translation of a large number of curse words.

"What to do? Are we going to die here? Wendys's voice broke down a little.

Conglu touched her head and smiled: "Don't worry! I'm here. ”

"Xiaohua, open the map and search for the nearby basement."

"I thought you had 17 basements, 11 of which were underground parking lots and 6 were underground labs."

Guided by the navigator, the two went to the nearest underground parking lot.

The two walked down the driveway deep underground, the white skeletons on the ground becoming more and more blurry as they went deeper.

Not only that, but from the road, I felt that the darkness around me was slowly fading. It's still pitch black, but it's a little different from the black on the ground.

Just like air and water, although both are transparent, one can feel its presence, while the other is completely invisible.

After turning a few corners in a row, I found myself gradually deteriorating from the road. The clear picture in his mind gradually became a little blurry.

For some reason, a sudden wave of fear suddenly arose from Lu's heart.

Immediately afterward, it was as if he had fallen into the water, his breathing became extremely difficult, and the image in front of him became distorted.

At this moment, Wendys behind her suddenly stretched out her right hand, and she grabbed Conglu's arm with both hands and pulled him back from the bottom of the water with a fierce force.

It turned out that just now, she noticed that Conglu's head and most of her body had suddenly disappeared. All that was left was one hand and half of her foot still exposed, so she pulled back from the road without hesitation.

Because she was pushing too hard, she lost her balance the moment she was pulled out of the road, and the two fell together after taking two sharp steps back.

It was nothing to avoid the rough skin of the road, but a large piece of the outside of Wendys's right hand was wiped off from the road.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Wendis, who cried and cried along the way, saved her life when she really encountered a crisis, which inevitably gave Conglu a new understanding of her.

"Does it hurt!"

Wendys didn't speak, but looked at Conglu with a strange look.

Somewhat embarrassed from the road, he avoided Wendys's gaze.

"You wait for me here, I'll go get you some medicine."

Leave a word, get up from the road and go.

But Wendys grabbed him with her injured right hand, tears rolling in her eyes.

"Don't leave me behind."

Squatted down from the road and touched Wendys's head, and said to her in a gentle tone: "How can I be willing to leave you, you just saved my life."

"Really? Then you take me with you. ”

Nodding from the road, he helped her to her feet.

But as soon as she took a step, Wendys withdrew her right foot in pain, it turned out that she had just been bruised not only on her arm, but also on her right foot.

Looking at the way she gritted her teeth, Conglu's heart felt a little uncomfortable as if she had been pricked by something.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

Lu Ben thought that Wendys would squirm for a while, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Wendys's soft body came up.

It was less than 15 minutes before the sun came out, and luckily there was a pharmacy less than 200 meters away.

When I walked out of the parking lot, my hearing from the road was restored, and the picture in my mind became clear.

When he carried Wendys on his back and walked into the pharmacy, the pharmacy was empty. Unable to distinguish the effect of the medicine, he just took some gauze and alcohol to help her treat the wound.

After taking care of their wounds, they did not choose to leave, but stayed in one of the rooms of the pharmacy.

The room was full of all kinds of medicines, and there was a small bed at the end of the narrow aisle, and I carried her from the road to the side of the small bed, and gently put her on it.

"You rest for a while, I'll pour you a glass of water."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could get up, Wendys pulled him a little pitiful and said, "Don't go, I'm afraid."

He took her little hand from the road, held it in both hands, and said to her, "Don't be afraid, everything will pass."

"Really?!" Wendy's voice revealed a woman's weakness.

Turned over from the side of the road and sat on the edge of the bed, leaned forward slightly, wiped the tears from her face with her right hand, and whispered, "Really! We Chinese never lie. ”

Wendis sat up and hugged Conglu, the smell of medicine in the room was strong, but it didn't cover up the unique scent of her daughter's house.

I was a little flustered from the road, and I didn't know where to put my hands for a while, so I had to hold my hands up and freeze there motionlessly.

At this moment, a distant and vague voice reached Conglu's ears.

The reason why it sounds vague is not because he can't hear clearly, but because he doesn't understand well.

It was a strange linguistic system, and I was sure that I had never heard of it.

Strangely, his body seemed to have some kind of instinctive reaction to the language.

It was a strange reaction, like someone was calling every cell in his body.

"Did you hear anything?"

While questioning from the road, Wendys suddenly strangled his neck and looked at the top of her head in horror.

"What's wrong? Ahem~~~"

Just when Conglu's face was swollen and red, and it was difficult to breathe, the strange-looking lamp above his head suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

The darkness in the room cleared in an instant, and along with the darkness was his extraordinary hearing, and the white skeletons that could only be seen through the walls.

It's dawning! Since he didn't disappear, it proves that the suit really worked.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with joy on his face: "Great, we survived!"

Wendys didn't reply, but the hand around his neck was loosened.

Settle down and don't want to restrain himself anymore, life and death have been experienced, what else is there to twist, he wrapped his hands around Wendys's thin waist and wanted to hug her into his arms.

But the next moment he was stupid, and Wendys in his arms disappeared at some point. The only proof of her existence was the hazmat suit and the smell of her in the air.

Conglu's mind was blank, and his internal organs were uncomfortable as if they were being torn apart by something.

After a long time, he eased his emotions a little. Sitting on the little bed in a daze, Wendy's appearance welled up in his blank mind.

Those vexatious troubles that originally annoyed him have now become his most precious memories.

It is said that people can hear the sound because they have two ears, but the mobile phone ringing next to him has been ringing for a long time, but he has not heard anything.

At the moment, there was only Wendy's voice in his ears, her crying, her talking, her breathing, her heartbeat......

I don't know how long it took, but I noticed that the mobile phone next to me was ringing, it wasn't his own phone, it should be Wendys's.

He fumbled to answer the phone, and the voices of two foreigners came from the phone, which he couldn't understand and hung up.

After a long time, Conglu's own mobile phone rang, and he picked up the phone impatiently.

"Hello! This is the Chinese consulate in Hawaii, because the local airport terminal has been completely paralyzed, China ** asked South Africa for help 10 planes, the plane arrived at Hawaii Lucerne Airport in about 3 hours, if you want to leave here please rush within 3 hours..."

Conglu didn't care what the other party was saying, but his mood finally calmed down a little.

After going through so much, he thought of his family as soon as his mood relaxed a little.

"Your call is temporarily unreachable!!"

"Your call is temporarily unreachable!!"

His parents' phone calls couldn't get through, which made his slightly relaxed mood tense again.

Remembering that phone call, he planned to go to the airport immediately.

Tucking the two phones into his pockets, he began to pack up the hazmat suit Wendis had left behind.

In the past, when he packed up his clothes, he would crumple them up and finish the job.

But this time he seemed very serious, as if he was holding not a piece of clothing in his hand, but a baby in need of care.

It was because of this that he discovered the reason why Wendys would disappear.

For a moment, his tears couldn't help but flow out.

"It turns out that she doesn't have to die, it turns out that she died to save me!!"

Looking at the worn cut on the outside of the right arm of the protective suit, and recalling the previous picture of Wendys saving him in the underground parking lot, he couldn't control his tears anymore.

In the end, he gave up the opportunity to return to China and lay down limply. He lay on the same cot that Wendys had been lying on before, as if he could be closer to her.

In front of the road is the image scanned by the glasses of the protective suit. This is a brainwave image generation technology in which the glasses on the protective suit are responsible for scanning the outside world, transmitting the information to the cerebral cortex using a helmet, and finally automatically generating the image by calling the brain's memory.

Even if you're blind, as long as you're not born blind, wearing this device will allow you to regain your sight.

Closing his eyes from the road didn't want to see anything, he just wanted to keep Wendy's appearance in his head.

But even if he closed his eyes, it didn't help, the pattern on the ceiling was still clearly visible, and Wendys's appearance was getting more and more blurred. Everything seems to be just a dream, a dream that you can't let go of but can't keep it.
