Chapter 6: Nightmares
Flowing over the pile of documents on the ground, Zhou Zimo put the album on his desk, this can't be lost!
Turning back, he continued to search the remaining documents for the shadow of the evacuation plan.
Soon, another afternoon passed, and when the sun was setting in the west again, Zhou Zimo finally finished turning over the cabinet, and the ground near him was like a layer of floor tiles, with wrong shadows and shadows, and densely packed with useless documents.
But he just couldn't find the slightest information about the first and second living areas, let alone their locations, and he couldn't even determine whether Zhou Zimo existed or not! Sweating in vain, the joy brought by the red maple ruin atlas that had just risen in his heart had been completely shattered.
What can I do?
There was really no way, so he could only dig out the dry food he brought...... People are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic!
But he didn't be able to eat much, he was really scared too badly in the underground space, he was full of joy and expectation, but he saw thousands of dead corpses around the corner, not to mention that they were all people who used to get along day and night, this kind of psychological gap is not many people can deal with it calmly, of course, Li Miao's kind of perversion is not counted, to be reasonable, he no longer belongs to human beings.
After Zhou Zimo finished eating, he sat on the chair and flipped through the album casually, page by page, he didn't know what to do next, he could only follow his subconscious movements.
This was the second day he had returned to Red Maple, and the shadows he had printed on his table were lengthened by the dimmer sunset, and the light became dimmer, and he fell asleep unconsciously as he flipped through the album......
Zhou Zimo returned to the dark staircase, something was calling to him, and the yin wind blew through his ears. Zhou Zimo suddenly found that he couldn't control his body!
Approaching the 10,000-person burial step by step, in front of him, a flickering light was lit again, like a soul candle urging death on the bridge.
"No...... No! I won't go, don't take me there, don't take me there! Zhou Zimo shouted desperately in his heart, but his body didn't listen to him, and still moved towards the corner, "No...... I don't want to see their faces anymore, don't ...... Don't torture me! For the first time, he thought it would be nice to be blind, but the picture became clearer and clearer.
The corner is approaching, and Zhou Zimo is about to face his nightmare again!
But there was a noisy human voice, at first he was still immersed in fear and did not pay attention, but when he came to the corner, these sounds were already very loud, and his body seemed to hear them, and the speed of his movement increased, and he did not pause, and walked straight over......
There were no corpses, and no nightmares. In the third underground living area, people are busy with their duties.
This...... What's going on? Zhou Zimo suddenly found that the control of his body was back! The light is no longer flickering, and it perfectly illuminates every corner of the living area.
"Hey!" He shouted inside, involuntarily taking two steps inside, and the people still didn't notice him, still doing his own thing.
He took two more steps and gestured out, "Hey, can't you hear me?" Feed! ”
Still didn't react, he couldn't help it anymore, ran towards the living area, and there happened to be a middle-aged man walking over with a box, Zhou Zimo grabbed his arm and said anxiously: "Uncle, can you hear me?" Uncle? ”
The middle-aged man was pulled to a halt by him, with dissatisfaction on his face, and looked at Zhou Zimo. He wanted to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, he froze, looking at the boy in disbelief.
This made Zhou Zimo inexplicable, could it be that there was something on his face? Before he could speak again, the entire living area instantly quieted down, and in an instant, the previous crowd disappeared, everyone's movements froze, and they turned their heads to look at Zhou Zimo, stunned and incredulous.
"You ...... What's wrong? Zhou Zimo was furious, let go of the hand holding the middle-aged man, staggered back two steps and asked in horror, but people did not answer his question, and their eyes were always staring at the retreating Zhou Zimo until he retreated to the wall.
Everyone began to scream, completely ignoring what they were holding, the boxes rolled down, the wooden ladder collapsed, and the newly erected statue also collapsed in the chaos, and they rushed towards Zhou Zimo desperately...... Or rushing towards the exit, everyone looked frightened and panicked, I don't know how many people were pushed down by the people behind, and I don't know how many people died at the feet of their compatriots!
Zhou Zimo was stunned, so frightened by this group of sudden rioters that he even forgot to escape, and sat down in the shadow of the corner with weak feet.
The crazy people were getting closer and closer, and when they were about to pounce on the steps and tear Zhou Zimo apart, they stopped again. It was like cutting off a waist-high piece of wheat with a knife, and everyone fell on the way to charge, they still maintained their last moment of panic, dying in the living quarters, looking at Zhou Zimo.
Tens of thousands of dead bodies on one side, and boys who were so frightened that they lost their minds on the other, looked at each other through a shadow.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Zimo stood up, his face was pale, beads of sweat kept rolling down his face, his steps were vain, his whole body trembled, and he walked towards the passage step by step, this is, the bright light suddenly dimmed, flickered, and it became hell again! It has become Zhou Zimo's nightmare!
He walked faster and faster, and then stumbled and ran, as if something was chasing behind him, Zhou Zimo subconsciously turned around, there was really something! But I couldn't see what it was, but the shadow of it being hit on the wall was hideous, maybe it was the head, but why was there a sharp knife running through it!
Zhou Zimo began to scream, began to run desperately, and was about to reach the stairs, and he could be saved if he went up from here, right?
"Bump!" He kept looking at the monster behind him, but he didn't see that the road in front of him had been blocked by a boulder! Zhou Zimo hit the wall like a cannonball and fell to the ground, blood flowing.
But he didn't care about it at all, and the monster behind it had already revealed its true body, it was a ragged, green-skinned monster that exuded pus everywhere, its head was pierced by an unknown sword from back to front, and even the eyeballs were gone, only a dark eye socket.
The monster seemed to be coming at Zhou Zimo, staggering and howling towards him. He squeezed backwards desperately, trying to escape, but there was a wall behind him! There is no way back!
The monster was already close at hand, and it opened its mouth and pounced on the boy on the ground, green pus dripping from a half-rotten tongue...... Zhou Zimo's eyes were closed, and his hands and feet were kicked in front of him, screaming in shock!
"Whoa!" Something fell to the ground, Zhou Zimo woke up from his dream with a scream, and subconsciously retreated, but he didn't want to be sitting on a chair in the office, and suddenly, one person and one chair all flipped backwards to the ground.
Only then did he stop screaming, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look around, gasping for breath. It was dark and gloomy in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, but he knew that this was still Chen Fei's office, but it was already a deep dark night outside, and suddenly a cold wind blew, hitting the unclosed windows in the office, crackling, and the atmosphere was mysterious and heavy.
I don't know how long I haven't had a nightmare, Zhou Zimo couldn't calm down for a long time, he slowly pulled up the chair from the ground, sat back at the table, but couldn't sleep anymore, as soon as he closed his eyes, he was the disgusting monster in his mind. He just stayed in the dark for half the night......
The sun rose again in the third morning, driving away the endless darkness, perhaps, this is the tomorrow of the red maple?
Zhou Zimo's half-unmoved body finally sat up straight, he remembered last night's dream vividly, and today, he decided to go there again, because if he didn't break this nightmare, he would be shrouded in shadows for the rest of his life.
Take the map, this is his second plan, after exploring the secrets of the underground living area, he decided to go directly to the ruins, and then find other safe areas, and ask them to send troops to help him find the missing people of Red Maple, as for which one to go to, he hasn't thought about it yet, let's see later, the most reliable is the nearest Crescent City and Miyue Safe Zone.
Walking back to the small factory again, the morning sun was still soft, and the hole was still lying alone, this time Zhou Zimo looked at the factory again, it seemed that there were streams of black yin qi spit out from the hole, flying into the air and gathering into a skull, smiling evilly at him.
He shook his head, not thinking about those strange things, secretly cheered himself up, and stepped in.
This time, Zhou Zimo's speed was much slower, he tried to observe the situation around him, hoping to see some clues, but the light was too dark, he couldn't see anything clearly, and when he came to the corner, the faulty lighting system was still flickering brightly and dimly, just like the scene when he came.
Turning the corner, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but take a step back. Hard-headed, he stepped into this space full of death for the first time, the corpses were indeed dead, and they didn't turn their heads with Zhou Zimo's pace like in a dream, which made him feel a lot more relieved, but he didn't know why, so many corpses were put here for a few days, why there was no sign of corruption at all?
Zhou Zimo wanted to lean over them to test it, but after hesitating for a while, he still couldn't do it. There's a lot of space here, and there are several forks in the road where you don't know where to go. The facilities here are also very simple, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing, empty, what is this called a living area! I don't know if it's in those forks, Zhou Zimo thought, cautiously exploring inside.
There was a distinct smell in the air, and the more he walked inside, the stronger it became, and he didn't know how to describe it, like ...... The smell of mixing after spraying a lot of inferior perfume on the Hong Kong feet that have not been washed for three years is disgusting!
Almost unable to hold on, he finally glanced at the space here, and suddenly found that there was a place where the architectural style was very different from the others, revealing a very strange feeling, as if the construction was stopped in the middle of the repair, there was a little sunken in it, I don't know what it was for.
I really couldn't hold on anymore, Zhou Zimo turned around and ran out, until the passage when he ran in, the smell of drilling hard into his brain was a little dissipated, and finally took a look at the ten thousand dead bodies, and the next time he came with the alliance army!
Zhou Zimo sighed and turned his head to go out, although he didn't find anything, at least his fear of this place was much lower. Now that the atlas is available, it's time for him to go to the rescuers!
It's just that he doesn't know that this is the beginning......
