2. Salvation and distress
Turning around and running outside, in the flickering corridor, Atractylodes gradually felt a cold wind blowing towards him, which means that Atractylodes is not far from the gate!
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of Atractylodes' feet stepping on the metal passage is getting louder and louder, and his speed is getting faster and faster, he even hopes that when he goes out, he can see his parents and friends welcoming him, closer, closer, Atractylodes saw the white light at the door! His pace quickened, and he didn't even look closely at the brown bloody handprints on the gray-white gate.
Stepping over the white light at the door, Cangzhu closed his eyes and opened his arms to listen to the call from relatives and friends, but he waited for a while and only heard the endless sound of the wind! Cangshu didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid! He would rather fantasize that this is his relatives and friends are teasing him, but the sound of the call sign will not be fake, and the pain of the wind on his face mixed with the particles of yellow sand will not be fake.
Cangzhu slowly opened his eyes, and under the dim and dim sky, there were dilapidated city ruins, and countless once brightly lit buildings had become countless broken remains standing quietly, as if telling the glory of the past. Above the sky, a dusk of clouds covered everything.
This dusk with black clouds gave Atractylodes an unspeakable sense of fear, and there was an irrepressible feeling of vomiting swirling in Atractylodes' stomach, "Vomit!" After retching a few times, Atractylodes' stomach suddenly growled, and the hunger after waking up also hit at this time!
Enduring his hunger, Atractylodes returned to the inside of the gate, everything outside made him feel strange and lonely, although before he got sick, he was a man with only a few friends, but at this moment, the whistling wind and the deathly silence in the hibernation laboratory seemed to tell him that he was the only one left in this world!
Back in the hibernation lab, Atractylodes tries to scavenge for some food, but he finds nothing. Cangshu thought about his past and the situation he is facing now, "Self-severance!" The four words swirled in his mind!
After thinking about it, Cangshu walked out of the hibernation laboratory, and in front of him was a huge city ruin, and he decided to climb one of the tall buildings and jump down, but he died.
Emptying his head, Cangzhu was bent on suicide as he walked towards the tallest building in the ruins, the wind and sand swirling around him, and the noise of broken doors and windows was the mourning joy of the city.
In it, Atractylodes was like a walking corpse, walking towards the highest ruins in the distance, step by step, and suddenly a voice that resounded through the sky echoed between these high-rise ruins! Those winds that are all the time have stopped!
Cangshu heard the sound and felt the wind stop, he looked up at the sky and found that the dim clouds in the sky slowly spread a hole, and the long-lost blue sky and sunlight shot out of this scattered hole, but then a huge, indescribable giant eyeball appeared and firmly blocked the light just now!
And in the midst of this giant eyeball, the cat-like vertical pupil emitted a red light that scanned the vast land! The red light seemed to carry a deadly heat, and Cangshu watched as the beam swept over one of the ruins of the city, and the ruins burst into flames!
Atractylodes faintly looked at the red light that was shooting towards him, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Maybe this is my ......" The last words in Atractylodes' mind were knocked down by a black shadow before they could be thought of, and rolled into the ruins of the store on the side! The red light that followed swept by, leaving a long scorch mark on the ground!
"Are you crazy? That red light can kill you in one fell swoop! ”
A hoarse roar reached Cangshu's ears, and Cangzhu was pressed under this person, wanting to resist, but how could he, who was weak at this time, resist? Gradually, the strength of the atractylodes resistance became smaller, and the person on his body came down, squatted not far away, looked at the atractylodes who sat up, and asked:
"Who are you? How did you get here? ”
Atractylodes sat on the ground, looked at the questioner with wandering eyes, and replied, "Atractylodes, after I woke up, I found that the world had become like this, and my relatives and friends were gone...... I don't know what it means to be alive...... I ......"
Cangshu choked up as he spoke, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes. The interrogator who was not far away lifted the dusty hood covering his head, leaking out his long knotted hair and a face covered with oil, but he could vaguely tell that it was a woman. She saw Atractylodes crying and heard his cry. Thinking back to what happened to me before, a sour feeling also welled up in my heart.
"Nope! I can't do that! In the last days, crying won't solve the problem! The woman suppressed the sourness in her heart, stood up and stretched out her hands to Cangshu and said to him:
"This is the end times, and crying won't solve anything! Come with me! Maybe your family and friends are still there! By the way, my name is Xu Banxia! ”
Cangshu heard Xu Banxia's hoarse but firm voice, and looked at her outstretched hand with teary eyes, Cangshu slowly grabbed the calloused but slender hand and stood up. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and a very ugly smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Hey! That's right! Xu Banxia said and pretended to pat Cangshu's shoulder arrogantly, and looked out of the room again. The huge eyeball and the red pillar of light were gone, the sky was darkening again, and the wind was blowing again.
Xu Banxia took Cangshu's hand and took him outdoors, looked into the distance, and after lying on the ground and listening carefully, he reached out and took down his backpack, took out a windproof goggle from it, handed it to Cangzhu and said:
"Bring this! The wind and sand will be very strong in a while, and we are still some distance from the nearest gathering point, remember to follow me, no matter what you hear or see, don't let go of my hand, understand? ”
Cangshu nodded and said, "Understood!" Then he was dragged up by Xu Banxia and ran up! As he ran, Atractylodes gradually heard some strange noises mixed with the wind, and there was a hint of the burning smell of nicotine after tobacco burning! Soon Xu Banxia also noticed this situation, and after looking left and right, she immediately pulled Cangshu and hid in a small house on the side of the road again, and then said in an anxious voice:
"Close the doors and windows! Hide in this closet with me! Don't be silent! After Cangshu hurriedly did so, the two of them hid in the large cabinet that collapsed in the room! Through the gap in the cabinet, Cangzhu and Xu Banxia carefully observed the situation outside.
The weird cry was getting closer and closer, the sound was like the roar of a dinosaur in a movie that Cangshu had seen before, and the scorching smell was getting stronger and stronger, and suddenly there was a loud bang!
