Chapter 90: The Day the Blood Word Ends
The crematorium next to Goto Town, perhaps because it is located in the middle of nowhere, is not within the boundaries of Goto Town, so it was also well preserved when disaster struck, and in addition to the crematorium, there are two intact cement houses that can be inhabited, and Hideki Saito and Goto Makoto live here now.
And in the past two years, how did Hideki Saito and Makoto Goto live in them, Dong Xie didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask...... Because it's a terrible thing to think about. It's just that when Hideki Saito took them to the vicinity of the crematorium, Dong Xie and the others saw a lot of snail people's shells......
Seeing Goto Makoto again, she is no longer the beautiful girl she used to be, she has become a lot haggard, perhaps because of her relationship as a woman, so she looks much cleaner and neater than Saito Hideki, but the corners of her eyes have appeared a little wrinkled, there are a few more gray hairs on her head, and her eyes are no longer as full of brilliance as before.
Wang Qiu looked at the two who seemed to be ten years old, and his heart was full of bad feelings, so he took off his backpack and took out all the clothes and food that were still stored in the backpack, and even brought an electric shaver out of Wang Qiu.
This night, everyone didn't say much, only Goto Makoto was a little excited because she hadn't met everyone for a long time, and said a little more, other than that, there was only the sound of everyone eating silently.
Hideki Saito, who hung up his beard with a razor and washed his face with a clean towel, somewhat regained his former handsomeness, and he quietly watched the bonfire in front of him while eating a canned beef.
Just after he finished eating the canned beef in his hand, Saito Hideki put down the canned food in his hand, Wang Qiu saw this, took another can and handed it to Hideki, and said, "Eat a little more, it's okay, there are still a lot of canned food." ”
Hideki Saito waved his hand and said, "No, thank you, I've eaten a lot." ”
Then, Hideki Saito said again: "Director Ma, Wang Qiu, Mr. Dong, let's go to the town tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" Wang Qiu was stunned and said, "Why is this?" ”
Hideki Saito said, "Because ...... Tomorrow should be the day the curse ends, and I have a hunch that if we don't get into town by then, we'll be in terrible danger. ”
"Tomorrow? How can you be so sure? Director Ma asked with some confusion, "I agree with your speculation that the curse is coming to an end, but how can you be so sure that it will be tomorrow?" ”
"It's very simple......," Hideki Saito said with a calm face, "I've been counting the days, and tomorrow is October 30, 2017." ”
"October 30, 2017...... "Dong Xie, they read this date, by the way, isn't this the day their blood letter mission ends?!"
Dong Xie took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect that this would be the day when the Blood Word Task ended...... There was a real sense of unreality. ”
Director Ma said: "But now the town of Wudao has been turned into a huge labyrinth by those longhouses, what can we do if we go in?" Is it okay to just stay inside? ”
Saito Hideki looked at Goto Town, silent, and after a while, everyone thought he was stunned, and when he wanted to wake him up, Saito Hideki turned around and looked extremely complicated.
Then, Saito Hideki grabbed Goto Makoto's hand, and the fingers of the two hands clasped each other tightly, and then, Saito Hideki said: "After we enter Goto Town, we must immediately go in the direction of Dragonfly Pond, I think you have already seen it...... Dragonfly Pond, as the center of the whirlpool of Goto Town, where a huge secret is hidden, there ...... It should be our only hope for survival in this Blood Word Mission. ”
Dong Xie hurriedly said, "Xiushu, do you think anything will change in the dragonfly pond when this curse ends?" ”
Saito Hideki glanced at Dong Xie deeply and said, "Yes, there must be some amazing changes in the dragonfly pond, and even ...... That could be the source of this vortex curse, isn't it? ”
"Uh......" Dong Xie was a little inexplicable by Saito Hideki's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, at this time Saito Hideki, he had an indescribable feeling that something was wrong. How do you feel about that? It's not that Hideki Saito may be a ghost, but he has a feeling that Hideki Saito has seen through it, like all his secrets and all his black history have been known by the other party.
"Tonight, don't keep vigil, life or death depends on tomorrow, let's rest early." In the end, Director Ma sighed and put an end to the topic.
Sleepless all night, this night, Dong Xie rarely slept in the house, although there was almost nothing in this room, everyone could only continue to sleep in sleeping bags. But it's better to have a shelter from the wind and rain than to sleep in the wild.
Dong Xie tossed and turned for a long time before he could barely fall asleep, in his mind, the memory of a comic kept surging, although it had been many years, he couldn't remember many details, but he still remembered the final ending of the comic clearly.
"Really...... Will it be like that? Dong Xie said silently in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell everyone what he was thinking, because it was related to his origins and the things he had crossed, which was his biggest secret, and he would never dare to tell anyone about it.
In the midst of such worries and thoughts, Dong Xie gradually fell asleep, and this night ...... Everyone went to bed early and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, everyone was completely prepared, with only some food and water with them, and everything else was left, because if nothing else, today, they either returned to the apartment or died in this bloody mission, and there was no third option.
"Today's weather, it seems that God is not beautiful."
As soon as he went out, Dong Xie found that the weather today did not seem to be very good, the sky was extremely overcast, and the morning felt similar to the evening, and the air seemed to be a lot heavier.
"Don't think too much, let's go." Wang Qiu patted Dong Xie's shoulder, everyone was ready, and began to walk towards the entrance of Wudao Town.
And at this moment, a rustling sound came from not far away...... Not in the direction of Goto Town, but in the mountains.
"Huh? What was that? ”
Everyone turned around in confusion and looked, contrary to the direction of Goto Town, it was a mountain forest with lush vegetation, and from the jungle at the foot of the mountain, everyone saw that the trees and grass were stirring there, as if something was moving inside.
Director Ma said: "I have a bad premonition, we better hurry up. ”
As soon as Director Ma said this, everyone's faces changed drastically, and sure enough, in the next second, a monster like a dried corpse suddenly came out of the grass, and then rushed towards everyone!
"Not good! Come on! Wang Qiu shouted, and he had already smeared oil on the soles of his feet and quickly ran towards Wudao Town.
The rest of the people are not weak, they have often encountered this situation in the blood letter quest before, and running is the strong point of every apartment resident.
As soon as everyone started running, the speed was very fast, and thanks to the fact that everyone threw away most of their luggage, leaving only a day's food and water, otherwise it would definitely affect their speed.
When Dong Xie escaped, he still had the strength to look back and found that there were more dried corpses running out of the woods, and the running speed of those dried corpses was not slow, at least it was the normal running speed of ordinary people, but I don't know if these dried corpses would have physical limitations.
"Strange...... It's not Resident Evil or anything, where did the zombies come from? Wang Qiu shouted loudly as he ran.
"Don't ask this, classmate Wang Qiu, is now the time to worry about this?" Director Ma said loudly.
Hideki Saito frowned, he had to look back almost every two steps, and after running for a while, he suddenly exclaimed in horror, "That's ...... My Mom and Dad! ”
"What?!" Everyone was surprised, and at the same time confused, what was Hideki Saito talking about?
Saito Hideki's face was excited, he clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I see...... My mom and dad are in those dried corpses, and they've become dried corpses. ”
At this time, Goto Makoto also said: "There are not only uncles and aunts, but also ...... Miss Haruhara...... She's also in there, I'm afraid, all the people who died on the mountain have ......."
All already? What is already there? It is self-evident that I am afraid that the people who died on this mountain have become such dried corpses, and have been resurrected by the power of the whirlpool, and then come to attack them......
Sure enough, Hideki Saito's premonition was not wrong, if they still insisted on staying outside Goto Town, I am afraid that they would only be surrounded by these dried corpses, and as for what would happen after being surrounded, everyone dared not imagine.
"Quick! The entrance is right ahead! ”
Dong Xie pointed to the entrance of Wudao Town in front of him and said, fortunately, the crematorium is not far from the entrance of Wudao Town, they ran all the way for nearly ten minutes, and finally saw it.
As the five figures rushed into the Five Islands Town, the corpses that were chasing behind them stopped at the entrance in unison, not daring to step into it.
At this time, everyone also discovered this scene and stopped to catch their breath and rest.
"Huhuhu...... These corpses really don't dare to enter the town of Goto, it's great, it's really good. Wang Qiu sat on the ground, took out a bottle of water and took a big sip, just running all the way made him tired enough, after all, he didn't dare to have reservations for nearly ten minutes, even if he usually exercised, he was not so exaggerated.
Saito Hideki, on the other hand, came to the entrance, and he stood silently less than half a meter away from these dried corpses, and Goto Makoto was also by his side......
Their eyes were firmly on a middle-aged couple among those dried corpses, although it was difficult to identify the corpses that had become dried corpses, but they could still be barely identified by clothing and height, not to mention, it was Saito Hideki's parents, even if they became dried corpses, how could Saito Hideki not recognize them?
"Dad...... Mother...... I'm sorry, but I still couldn't save you in the end, and if there is an afterlife, I hope to be your son again. ”
When Hideki Saito said this, his tone trembled, Goto Makoto hugged him quietly, and everyone watched this sad scene in silence...... Regardless of nationality or culture, this is a common characteristic of human beings.
After a while, Hideki Saito turned around and said to everyone, "Let's go, time is very tight, we can't waste any more." ”
Dong Xie They could see the obvious tears on Saito Hideki's face, but no one spoke, any words of comfort were now hurting Saito Hideki, and his pain was only able to understand by himself, like Goto Makoto, quietly accompanying him was already the greatest comfort.
Walking all the way to Goto Town, although the entire Goto Town has now turned into a huge building in the shape of a whirlpool, but in the past two years, Hideki Saito has also figured out the map of this building, and everyone quickly shuttles through it.
The crowd found that there were no bodies to be seen on the street, and they did not know where the bodies had gone. Not only that, but as we went deeper, we could hear a lot of tinkling sounds, like someone building a house.
When we walked to a gap in the longhouse, we found that someone was really building the house, and both sides of the longhouse were frantically covering, as if they were in a hurry, and they must complete all the unfinished parts within today.
"It seems that the entire town of Goto is desperately trying to complete the last remaining bit of construction, and when these longhouses are completely completed, I don't know what will happen." Hideki Saito said lightly.
"Let's go......" Dong Xie sighed and shook his head, these things, until the last moment, how could they understand?
At this time, Director Ma took advantage of the fact that this gap had not yet been stamped, and ran over directly, saying, "Let's take a shortcut, hurry up, don't be stopped by these guys." ”
Seeing this, everyone quickly passed through this gap one by one, and soon after everyone passed through this gap, this place was completely sealed and turned into a part of the longhouse.
"These people are really fast." Wang Qiu looked at the gap that was several meters wide just now. It was covered almost instantly, and I couldn't help but feel a little numb on my scalp.
"Don't say it, we still have to hurry......"
When it was afternoon, everyone didn't know where they had got, and Hideki Saito always said that it was almost there, but it was always not there yet.
Just as the sky was about to darken, suddenly, the clanging sound disappeared, and in its place, a rumbling sound came from inside the longhouse. The sound was deafening, coming from the longhouses on both sides, as if there was a large group of people running wildly in the house, and everyone was at a loss.
