Chapter 21: Stay Alive
There's someone in the door! Who is it?
I looked at the hurried half-cut footmark in the dark red rust mud at my feet, and Rong Yusi's inference was right, there must be someone in this place, and looking at the size of the footprints, if this person is not a man, then it must be a girl with big feet. But the question is, how did Rong Yusi find out.
The rust on the ground was so conspicuous that it wasn't surprising to be visible, and I could see it if I could have shone a flashlight on the ground, but I had been shining on the door and hadn't moved to the ground! The thick and loose rust on the door absorbed all the light deeply, and there was not a trace left, let alone reflected on the ground.
I shook my flashlight at the door again, and it was completely dark on the ground, and I didn't even know where my feet were! A question that I couldn't say what it was was getting bigger and bigger in my heart, I stood still for a moment and felt that I couldn't suppress it anymore, and suddenly asked, "Rong Yusi, how do you see it?" ”
Rong Yusi was obviously stunned for a moment, "What do you see?" ”
"It's so dark, how do you see the rust on the ground?"
"Oh......" Rong Fengyu's tone seemed to be relieved, "I have night eyes!" ”
Night-eyed? I've heard that some people have better vision at night because there are more cylinder cells in the eye, but it can't be that good. The shape of that puddle of rusty mud was no different from ordinary mud, and Rong Yusi could see it, which only showed that she could distinguish colors in the dark! I don't know of any animal that can distinguish color in the dark, anyway, not including people, no matter what kind of eyes you have, how can an object have color without enough light reflection?
"How do you know it's rusty?"
"Isn't that rust?"
"It's rust, but how can you tell?"
"You can see it, why can't I see it?"
I was completely entangled, and I almost bit my tongue when I wanted to speak but felt wrong, and I secretly cried out in my heart. I'm a person who is not good at talking, and I can only consider myself unlucky to face such a quick-thinking opponent. When I try to explain my own problems, I undoubtedly lose the power to ask questions.
After thinking about it, I decided to shut up, Lu Yan, I've seen it all, and I still care about this? So he stopped thinking about it, and turned back and focused on knocking on the door.
The rust screeched, and there was an extremely thick tuk tuk sound behind the vibration of my fingers, and I didn't know how thick the door would be, and I wasn't sure if the sound of my knock could reach the inside.
After knocking for a long time and there was no reply, I couldn't help but get impatient and kicked at the door, which was as solid as a part of the wall, and I couldn't feel a tremor under my feet, but the sound was really not small. With such a volume, as long as the people inside are not deaf, they will definitely be able to hear it.
But there was still no sound, only the door had shed all its rust, revealing a porous surface, like an old and unshapeable face, silently embedded in the wall. Our unit is also very close to metallurgy, so I probably know some metallurgical knowledge. This door is rotten like this, and in this environment, it is only possible because of the raw materials. The uneven distribution of carbon in steel leads to different oxidation rates, and this kind of steel is rarely seen now, and it should be used in large quantities in the sixties and seventies.
But this playground has only emerged on our side in the last ten years, right? In the sixties and seventies, it was still Disney! I would never believe that when this amusement park was built, I found a piece of scrap iron with a long history to make this door, but if you want to say that this place was already in place when this amusement park was built, then what are these pipelines? Is it the transformation and utilization of the old civil air defense fortifications?
I don't understand, the door won't open.
Since this is the case, I turned to the two people who were bored in the back and said, "Let's go, go back and rest, anyway, there are people inside, and we can't do anything to us." ”
Rong Yusi agreed, and took the lead to walk back, I deliberately did not shine the flashlight forward, and the second was to adjust to the back of Xiaohua in the faint light, but Rong Yusi still dodged the protrusions of various pipelines like a bat returning to the nest in the dark night, and turned. I looked at the white figure in front of me, and my heart ebbed and flowed, and I didn't know what to suspect.
To be honest, I am very jealous of these different people, Lu Yan, Rong Yusi, etc., they all have abilities and skills that ordinary people do not have, they live like ordinary people in peacetime, and they can run rampant in the world in troubled times without scruples. And I can only hide everywhere, and I don't even have the ability to protect myself, let alone protect others.
It was already dark, and the roar of Gega on the shore shook the sky. We lay on the ground on the third floor, listening to the chaotic and anxious roars not far away, and there was no sense of rest. What if they don't leave tomorrow? Even if they leave, how do we continue on the rest of the journey? Fortunately, Rong Yusi's injury has healed, although she is still wrapped in thick bandages, I can see that a person with such a vigorous swimming style can never have such a big wound on his back. She also has her secrets, which need to be deliberately hidden.
I rolled over and walked to the outside terrace. Everyone has secrets and has to hide something. But why didn't I? I lay on the terrace and looked at the lake and the Gejia in front of me, but there was no fear in my heart, and I remembered the unbelievable experience that started from the sinkhole.
I don't know if Lu Yan is okay, if Liu Dongxi has succeeded, and if Wang Dake still likes Lu Yan. I touched my left hand, which was wrapped in a tarp on my back, and it was now dry and hard as stone. Lu Yan asked me to save this world, but I was trapped here, I was just an ordinary person, and this hand did not bring his magical ability to me, in this world, ordinary people can't live at all, so, should I save this world?
After watching the tragic situation in the world this month, I have completely lost hope for Xiao Kan's survival, she is my wife, of course I know that she is just an ordinary person like me, different from Rong Yusi and Xiaohua. Although this catastrophe was caused by me, it was like a heavenly punishment or a choice for mankind. Those Gega are like messengers of God, harvesting the lives of all ordinary people, and only the best can survive. And I was just a fluke, and I was left out in this purge, like an ant hiding in the crevice of the sewer, embedding my body tightly in the cracks of fate, and putting all my legs together, praying that the next sewage would not take me away, even if it was such a humble life.
Perhaps this thought has been around for a long time, and the long-term depression has slowly worn away the sadness. There was still that faint peace in my heart. Then let me live well for you! Even if I'm just a normal person.
