Chapter 39: A Waste of Time

I always thought that there was nothing in the world that could scare me anymore.

Of course, I always think so, but I have to survive in frustration when I am slapped in the face by reality again and again.

But this time I really think so, because after all, I've experienced time travel, meeting myself, the invasion of the 'demon' clan, the zombie occupation of the earth, etc., a series of unbelievable things.

While the other one I told me wasn't the 23rd century, I thought I was in another wonderful dimension, one that could be considered a time travel anyway.

It's really a rare thing to meet another self, but who can tell me who this person is in front of me now?

When our group appeared at the gate of the base in a big way, the huge iron door opened a small crack with a bang, and then we walked through the peaceful base, according to the plan, we went to every building of different sizes to ask for help, at least we should see some humans, right? But there was nothing, quiet and cautious, it was like a dead city, but the signs of human activity were very obvious, and then we entered the bomb shelter, and sure enough, there were people in the bomb shelter.

We drove all the way in, and all we could hear was a noise of people at the end of the depths, but there was no sign of anyone.

When we finally met the uniformed soldiers, we were all excited, thinking that we could finally get an answer.

Like, where is this? What era is it? Why is the naturally big hole missing? And what are those zombies out there?

But we are greeted only with endless disappointment, these people can't see us at all, they don't ignore us, they really can't see us.

This is not very deserved, are they just imaginary?

Is this space just an illusion?

No, it's not.

The zombies before could clearly see us, and the houses we touched were not fake.

The explanation is that there is only one base, or that the bomb shelter is a virtual image.

Or to put it another way, the people in the bomb shelter are all imaginary.

When we entered the combat command center step by step, we were all stunned around the huge glass curtain.

Not because of how cool the high-tech combat command hall is, or because there are too many operating instruments that we haven't seen before, but because the commander standing at the front is very familiar to us.

All my teammates are looking at me, and I want to look at myself too!

That commander was clearly myself.

It's exactly the same, it looks a lot older than me.

Could it be that this is where I will end up in the future?

Maybe I'll be an operational commander in the future?

I even had a hint of joy in my heart, because my brain had died, and looking at myself standing in the crowd, commanding everyone, a warm feeling actually rose in my heart, was it pride?

I like that I look confident, mature and steady, and up to the task.

"Luo Yang, is this you?" Cangtu asked.

"......," I shook my head.

"Even if it's him, it's not the person he is now." Wang Yiyi said, "This can be regarded as a middle-aged Luo Yang." ”

We walked around the huge glass wall to the command room.

They're all working.

But their language ...... It's over, I don't understand.

It's the kind of language I've heard in an elevator before, I've never heard it before.

"It's over." Sun Si shrugged, what kind of information can this get......

Indeed, it seems like a real waste of time.

Can't communicate, can't understand, don't know what they're doing.

I recalled another piece of my advice, much to my chagrin.

"Don't go to the base, don't waste time!"

I urge everyone to leave quickly and not waste time. When we returned to land again, the sky was still clear.

"Haha, it's amazing, it's like nothing happened." Sun Si opened his arms.

It didn't happen......

"That's right! How many days ago was the last time it caught fire? "I woke up from a big dream.

"Six or seven days...... Sun Si said, scratching his head.

"Seven days or six?" I asked.

Sun Si rolled his eyes, "Six days." ”

"Guys, how many days have we been in the city?" I asked.

"Five days."

"I guess everything here is going to be ...... cycle," I said, "in a seven-day cycle." ”

Cangtu and the others quickly accepted a conjecture.

"Yes, there was a fire six days ago, and now it's back to the way it was, and it seems that the fire is the end of everything." Wang Yiyi said.

"What happened in this space when everyone passed out......"

"Before we fainted, there was a smell in all the rooms, and I guess there were tranquilizers or anesthetics in them." Cang Tu said, pointing to the bandage on my arm, "Because you have injuries on your body, you are the most poisoned, the first to faint, and the last to wake up." ”

I see......

"Is that someone manipulating all this?" I asked.

"We've got to go." K said, looking up and pointing to the sky, already dazed.

Today is the third day, and it's almost over, and we still have two days to go back.

At our pace, we should be in time, so that we won't be able to go back in five days......

"Within five days, I should be able to rush back." I also looked at the sky.

"I can't move tonight." Cangtu put down the binoculars and pointed to the building in our stronghold, and from a distance, it was crowded!

I also quickly raised my binoculars and found that there were a lot of zombies inside, wandering.

There are also a large number of zombies in action in the surrounding buildings!

That's weird! How can there be so many in the building?

We stood at the door of the bomb shelter, irritable.

"This is the city center, and it's a military base, so it's like a feast for zombies." Cangtu said.

"What then?" Sun Si cried out, "We're stuck here? ”

"Let's go back to the bomb shelter first, find a place to rest for the night, and leave tomorrow morning."

We obeyed Cangtu's instructions and returned to the bomb shelter.

We didn't go deeper, we just set up a small campfire on a small platform where we could see the hole in the sky.

After a hurried meal, everyone's faces were worried.

K and Carl are guarding the entrance of the cave, and we can see their lonely backs.

"Leave early tomorrow morning." Cangtu smoked a cigarette and stared at the bonfire in front of him.

There was no frustration or uneasiness in his tone, and he still had a businesslike attitude.

"Okay." We all nodded, a little contagious by his steadfast attitude.

The moon had risen, and the ghosts of zombies were crying in the night sky.

The shelter was not soundproofed at all, and I doubted that with such a cautious howl, it would be possible to sleep peacefully.

"If we are not mistaken, if it is really a repetition, then when we enter the ghost circle, it is already the second day of the operation cycle of this space." Wang Yi analyzed, "It's the first day of the cycle, and according to previous experience, it should be the third day of the cycle, and the hole in the sky appears. ”

I nodded: "That is, we have two days and it is safe during the day." ”

Cangtu shook his head, "It may not be safe during the day. It was a fluke that we were able to get through the day safely. "The scar on his face was reflected in the firelight, which was very terrifying." There are so many more zombies here than we've experienced before. ”

I listened to the incessant screams, and a chill ran through my body.

"It's too close to the city center, and when we first came in, there was nothing in the room over there, and even if there were, it was just one or two, not an order of magnitude at all. If we swagger down the street tomorrow, do you think something will rush out? Cangtu said lightly.

Before we could answer, there was a sudden loud bang outside the cave, and we rushed out to see that all the equipment in the base was activated!

"Now it's good!" I said, "It's enough for those zombies to get excited." ”

Sure enough, there was a monstrous noise around the base, as if the zombies of the whole city were rushing to this feast.

Sun Si trembled and was about to cry.

Once again, I remembered another piece of advice I had given myself, and shook my head in chagrin.

I patted Wang Yi, who was also surprised, and motioned for him to come with me.

We walked out of the bomb shelter, turned into a sheltered corner, and lit a cigarette.

"What did you dream about?" I asked him casually.

"Not surprising, but you? Why do you hold on to this matter and refuse to let go? He smiled evilly, squinted his eyes, and looked at me.

I was a little embarrassed to be asked by him like this, is it because of my own nervous sensitivity? Or is it really weird?

"I ...... I dreamed of another self, another Luo Yang. I took a puff of my cigarette and finally spoke.

If the person in front of me wasn't Wang Yi, I wouldn't have said such unbelievable things so easily, but it was precisely because it was him that I knew that no matter what incredible things I said, he would understand, and this was probably sympathy!

Sure enough, he didn't show any surprise, he chuckled softly and said, "What a coincidence, I also dreamed of it." ”

"Really? Are you dreaming of your alter self too? Another king? "I was amazed, even a little excited.

He looked up at me with a look of contempt and a wicked smile, and I looked at him like this, and guessed that he was making fun of me.

"But if that's the case, the world will be in chaos," I laughed, "Imagine it!" Two kings in one piece, how annoying it is! I'm afraid you're going to have a showdown with yourself. ”

Wang sneered contemptuously and shook his head, "The scene you said is indeed quite scary, but well, it is impossible for me to see it," he smiled, "I am not dreaming of another me, but another you." ”

This time, it's my turn to scold my mother.
