The Lost World Chapter 1. The Lost City
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Mo Li's face through the curtains, and he rubbed his eyes in a daze.
Mo Li felt that he had slept too deeply this night, as if he had been lying down for several days. I struggled to get out of bed, stretched, my bones clicked, and I went into the bathroom to wash up.
Mo Li is a sophomore, just after the summer vacation yesterday, he went to have a supper with a few old friends, drank a lot of wine, and he came to the hotel directly to stay drunk.
After washing, Mo Li, packed his backpack, and went downstairs to check out.
As soon as he got downstairs, he felt that something was wrong, the hotel seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time, there were a lot of cobwebs and dust. When I came to the front desk, I was even more stunned, the hall seemed to have been smashed a long time ago, with dusty and broken counters, broken glass everywhere, garbage and wine bottles everywhere,...... This scene stimulated Mo Li's nerves.
What's going on? Wasn't it okay last night? I didn't hear any movement. Mo Li frowned and looked at everything in front of him.
Mo Li, who couldn't figure it out, had to walk out of the hotel first.
After coming outside, Mo Li was stupid. He stood in the door of the hotel in a daze, watching everything in front of him.
A cool breeze blew across his slightly mature face, stroking the slightly curly hair on his brow.
Mo Li was motionless, looking at everything in front of him, he seemed to feel that he was still in a dream, or that he had not woken up yet.
But a dead leaf fell with the wind and struck him lightly on the forehead, telling him that it was not a dream.
Mo Li's Adam's apple moved, and he felt that his mouth was a little dry. With an expression of disbelief, he raised his eyes and walked silently down the street.
The streets that should have been bustling with traffic are now empty. The cars parked everywhere seem to have been abandoned for a long time, and even the roof has saplings growing. Streets that should have been clean and tidy are now overgrown with weeds and garbage.
The crow cries that echoed over the empty city were a little scary. Tall trees grew between the rows of buildings, unknown birds chirped faintly, and even the figure of a hare scurrying through the grass.
This kind of scene is impossible to appear in S City, an economically developed city, but it really appeared.
If he hadn't been reminded of the hotel he had just walked out of, he would have thought he was in a city in the quarantine zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Mo Li was at a loss now, he didn't know what was going on, why everything had changed when he woke up, as if the city he was in had been abandoned for a long time.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar streets, he didn't know what to do, without a purpose and without a clue.
The loneliness of the city scared him, and he wondered if he was the only one in the city.
Suddenly, a sense of irritability came over him, and he shouted, "Hey!! Anyone?! ”
There was a faint echo of him in the empty city, and no one answered him......
He suddenly slapped his leg and remembered his phone. He quickly pulled his phone out of his backpack and prepared to call anyone he knew. But the mobile phone has no signal at all, and it can't be called at all.
Mo Li began to panic, and the lonely city made him feel a burst of horror.
He suddenly remembered the scene from Resident Evil in his mind, wasn't it very similar to now? Thinking of this, Mo Li didn't dare to continue thinking about it, God knows which corner would pop up one or a group of zombies.
Mo thought that he had to quickly find a seat belt place to hide, and now he was still ignorant of all this, and he didn't know anything about it.
After thinking about it, Mo Li still felt that the hotel before was safer, after all, nothing happened to him after sleeping there groggily all night.
By the way, you still have to prepare food and water, and Mo Li shuddeers when she thinks of the food shortage and various resource pollution in Resident Evil.
Mo walked to the nearest supermarket according to his impression, and as expected, the supermarket was also empty, and most of the shelves of goods for food were overturned on the ground.
He hurried in to search for anything to see if there was anything to eat. Luckily, he found a lot of beef jerky, as well as pork jerky, and other meat products, which were easy to carry and provided a lot of protein.
After packing these things into his backpack, he found a place to put his drinks, and looking at the abundance of drinks and water here, he thought it would be better to make a few more trips to move them.
He looked at the time, it was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought to himself, it was still early, so he just finished moving everything from the supermarket.
Just do it, first remove some of the lighter, stomach-wrapping foods, and then move some of the heavier ones.
He made a few trips back and forth, moving most of the things he thought would work. Mo Li sat at the door of the supermarket and rested, looking at the sky at dusk.
For some reason, as soon as he stopped and didn't do something, Mo Xingzhong would feel uneasy. I guess I was too nervous.
The evening sun shone on the trees outside the supermarket, imprinting mottled shadows on the ground, and the leaves on the dead branches swayed in the bleak wind, just like Mo Li's melancholy and uneasy heart at this moment.
Mo Li looked at the time, it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, hurry up and move the last trip. He found a few kitchen knives and fruit knives on the messy cargo shelves, thinking that it would be good to get a few for self-defense. I found a few more canned fruits and put them in my backpack and prepared to leave, and when I walked to the counter at the door, I suddenly saw a lighter placed on the counter, and I thought that this is also a good thing, and it should be usable, so I stuffed it into my backpack.
After leaving the supermarket door, he suddenly heard the sound of something hitting the car in the distance, and several crows flew away in fright. The sudden sound of the quiet street startled Mo Li.
Mo Li stopped and looked into the distance of the street, the light of dusk was not very strong, and Mo Li was still a little short-sighted, so the street looked blurry.
There are shadows among the tall weeds, as if there are people, or dwarf trees that sway slightly in the wind.
There won't be anyone, right?
No, it shouldn't be......
Maybe the noise was made by an animal? ……
Mo Li's scalp was slightly numb, and he turned around and left. He had a thought in his heart that he didn't want to think about, but the more he didn't think about it, the more he actually thought about that thought in his heart.
Mo Li walked faster and faster, as if he was thorned in his back, he pretended to be calm, and didn't want to look back, as if if he didn't look back, he wouldn't see anything, and nothing would happen, even if he was deceiving himself.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", as if something had fallen on the car. This scared Mo Li miserably, he pulled his legs and ran, wishing he had two more legs, but he felt that his legs were a little weak at the moment, as if a pair of claws were dragging his feet, he knew that this was a psychological reason, but the more he wanted to run faster, the more he felt that he couldn't make it harder.
This is the feeling that many people will have, when they are frightened, they have run very fast, but in their hearts they feel that they are running much slower than usual, and they will want to run harder and harder, which is the easiest to fall in this case, and at this time, falling will bring great panic to the psyche, resulting in slower speed of getting up or leg cramps.
Fortunately, Mo Li fell to the ground when he ran to the door of the hotel, at this time he didn't care about the pain, or he didn't feel the pain at all, so he crawled into the hotel and quickly locked the hotel door. He moved some more things and blocked the door, and he felt a little more relieved.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Mo Li's uneasiness never dissipated. He dragged his tired body towards his room.
After locking the door and lying on the bed, Mo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
