Chapter 1: A Dream Within a Dream
"Hurry up Li Ze, today is the school girl as the host, and if you don't go, you won't be able to grab a good position."
A short and thin young man dragged one person out of the dormitory, and the one who was pulled was a little reluctant, his eyes kept glancing at the mobile phone in his hand, as if he was waiting for something.
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to go, if you want to see it, you can go yourself, mouse."
The boy who was being pulled by the monkey said impatiently, struggling to get away from the young man called the mouse, and the lens on his face reflected the shiny mobile phone.
"What's so good about that woman, I heard you talk about her every day when I was just in college, and now that I've graduated, why don't you let go!"
The short and thin mouse had an angry face, and he couldn't see the decadence of others falling for a woman like this.
Li Ze didn't say a word, silently walked to the bedside, picked up a can of beer, and walked to the balcony of the dormitory.
The mouse stomped his foot angrily, turned around and walked out of the dormitory door, leaving Li Ze alone in the dormitory.
Li Ze leaned on the edge of the balcony, holding his mobile phone in one hand and a can of beer in the other, his expression looked a little lonely, and even the sky felt hot and tight.
Li Ze poured a sip of beer into his mouth, and made up his mind to enter a series of familiar numbers into his mobile phone.
"Hey, why did you call me all of a sudden, why can't you send a message?"
After a few beeps, a woman's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I've been waiting for you for three years, and you haven't given me an answer, and now I'm about to graduate, and I'm finally asking you once, is it still possible?"
Li Ze said softly, every word seemed to be exhausted.
"Why do you say this again, you ruined all the good mood that you were in, I made you wait! I hung up. ”
The originally cheerful voice on the other end of the phone instantly became impatient, and hung up the phone after speaking.
Li Ze held the mobile phone to his ear, although there was no one on the other end of the phone, he still said to himself: "It's really hard to give up, but it's really time." ”
The sky became even more depressing in Li Ze's eyes, his whole body seemed to be drained of air, and the whole person became lifeless, just staring at the sky blankly, recalling the previous time in his mind.
I don't know how long it took, Li Ze's scattered eyes finally refocused, the sky was about to get completely dark, and he listened to the laughter and laughter coming from the playground.
It was his graduation party, and after today, he was going to completely enter the busy work, and he had to cut off the beautiful self-deception that still existed before.
After taking a sip of the last bit of beer, Li Ze turned around from the balcony, his face was full of tears but with an uncomfortable smile.
It was already pitch black in the dormitory, and you could vaguely see two single beds and a table in the middle, and there were only two people living in this dormitory, he and the mouse.
Li Ze groped for the small bed that belonged to him, and the whole person was planted on the bed, not wanting to move, and slowly closed his eyes, looking forward to his new life tomorrow.
Half-asleep and half-awake, he heard a burst of noisy sounds, Li Ze ignored the stimulation of alcohol, just turned around and frowned.
But fortunately, the noisy sound outside lasted not long before it quieted down, and Li Ze's frowning brows also relaxed, but a tear still flowed from the corner of his eye, he may have dreamed of something sad.
Little did he know that an earth-shattering change had taken place outside.
If he was still on the balcony, he would have seen countless meteors streak across the sky, unusually beautiful.
The students who were originally holding a graduation party on the playground also stared blankly at the sky, and a few began to take out their mobile phones to take videos, but when they wanted to post it to their friends, they found that there was no signal at all.
Soon, the meteors grew larger and larger, scattering them all over the city with the light of fire, and one of them passed right above their heads and landed around the city.
The crowd on the playground seemed to be a little rioty, but fortunately it was not smashed in front of their eyes, and the situation was controllable.
The imaginary sound of the meteorite falling to the ground did not come, and just when everyone was at a loss, all the falling meteorites emitted a ripple that could not be seen by the naked eye as if the stones were falling into the water, and quickly expanded towards the surroundings.
The whole world is covered with the ripples of thousands of meteorites, and people do not even notice it.
At this time, the playground, which had been quiet for some reason, suddenly became riotous again, and a third of the people rushed to their companions without warning.
Their faces were strangely pale under the light of the playground lights, their faces were hideous and distorted, and their mouths emitted a roar that seemed to be stuck in their throats, and there was no trace of normal human beings.
They gnawed at their former companions, and soon the thick smell of blood spread across the playground.
The rest of the people started screaming, and everyone started running towards the exit of the playground, no one wanting to be in this hellish sight.
It took a while for the noisy playground to fall silent, with only one or two of those throat-grabbing roars remaining.
A faint smell of blood began to rain in the sky, and all the monsters began to raise their heads in enjoyment and let the rain hit their faces.
It wasn't until later that people found out that this red rain came once a month, which was equivalent to the nutrient for these zombies, which was used to restore the shriveled bodies of zombies who had not eaten for a month and improve the overall strength of the zombie population.
This day was called the first day of the Age of Possession by the people after that, also known as the Dark Day, and all the survivors of this day spent it in panic, except for Li Ze, a guy who had not woken up yet.
In the early morning, the sun shone on Li Ze's face through the window, and there were still some tears in the corners of his eyes, Li Ze slowly woke up with a frown, first a little dazed, and then walked to the balcony with an unhappy expression and shouted downstairs without looking:
"Running for a funeral in the morning, call your mother."
However, what responded to Li Ze was a more intense roar, and only then did Li Ze come to his senses and look downstairs to see that the whole person who was frightened was stiff on the spot.
There were dozens of sluggish people floating at the bottom of the dormitory building, revealing a strange figure all over their bodies, more or less with the blood that had congealed on their bodies, looking up at Li Ze with their pale and distorted faces and screaming with their mouths open, as if they had seen their prey.
"Could it be that I have traveled to a parallel world? Is this world a great war between humans and zombies? Li Ze thought about it and then shook his head, and said to himself: "No, it must be my dream, right?" ”
pinched his arm hard, and a pain was transmitted to his head, and he instantly sobered up a lot.
"It hurts, it hurts to dream? Is it what Inception says, a dream within a dream? Or is it a dream within a dream? ”
