Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pit of Blood
On the Pearl Square, most of the buildings have almost been turned into ruins, at a glance, it is basically on the ruins, scattered on the ruins, there are a few seriously damaged buildings, as far as the eye can see, an open space, ruins stacked, forming some undulations like hills.
In this way, the dilapidated buildings are even more conspicuous, as if they had taken root and grown out of the ruins, but they did not have the vitality of new things, and the cold wind that constantly blew made the atmosphere around them even more decayed and desolate.
I didn't see anything else but that...
The two confirmed the direction of the school, chose a route, and walked cautiously on the Pearl Square, next to the remaining buildings.
They don't know if there are any giant rats around them, or any other danger, and now that the buildings here have collapsed, their vision has become extremely open, and if they walk around the ruins, the target will be too conspicuous, and they may be targeted by something.
Leaning on these remnant buildings, although the danger cannot be completely avoided, there is also a shelter, and at critical moments, there can also be a place to hide.
"Alas, the world has really changed, is it the so-called retribution?"
Looking at the desolation around him, thinking of his experiences in the past few days, Zhou Che couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had already said that the unscrupulous behavior of human beings would eventually destroy the earth on which he depended for survival, or after constantly depriving nature of its resources, it would attract the wrath of nature, and finally kill itself in the face of that irresistible force.
Zhou Che believed this, but he didn't care, because he didn't feel that he would experience these things in his lifetime, devastating disasters and the like, which were too far away from him.
But now, looking at everything around him, he suddenly had an extremely unreal feeling, in fact, in just a few days, what happened was so weird that it made him look a little trance, and what happened a few days ago seemed to have passed for a long time.
Sometimes he even wonders if this is still the world he lived in before, but real perception tells him that this place... It's the Tang City where he has always lived!
It's just that everything here has changed...
The scope of Pearl Square is too large, although the two of them are on the edge of Pearl Square, but to walk in the direction of the school, they have to walk a short distance along Pearl Square.
I didn't dare to think about it, but I quickly came back to my senses, and after seeing that there was still no one or anything around, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can't imagine that rats avoided people in the past, but now people want to avoid mice, and now rats want to kill a person is much simpler and rude than people in the past to kill a mouse, this may be retribution, after the roles of the strong and the weak are reversed, they can't adapt at all..."
Regardless of what happened to the rats in the past, anyway, now, they are not weak creatures to be kneaded, but humans, and they must avoid these guys in order to survive.
"What an irony!" Shaking his head and muttering softly, Shu Meng next to him suddenly raised his head.
"What?" Shu Meng turned her face sideways, looked at Zhou Che with a little curiosity and a little nervousness, and asked.
"No, it's nothing..."Shaking his head, Zhou Che didn't have the heart to talk to her about these inconsequential things, but suddenly, he also thought of some questions, turned his head, his face softened, and said, "By the way, Mengmeng..."
"Huh?" Shu Meng just turned around, Zhou Che shouted, she turned her face again, her expression still looked dull, a little natural cute, but in the past few days, Zhou Che has been a little immune to her natural stay...
"You should have good friends at school, right?" After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Che asked, about Shu Meng's parents, asking about it might also arouse her sadness, but these are irrelevant, so he didn't have any scruples, so he asked directly.
Shu Meng here, sure enough, didn't have much reaction, just stunned slightly, and then smiled: "Of course there is, why are you asking this?" ”
"It's okay, just ask, see if you can find some acquaintances in the school, there are more people together, and it's safer..."Zhou Che said with a smile.
It's just that although he explained it like this, in fact, he also had other thoughts in his heart, but many things could be realized, and if he couldn't realize it, it was naturally impossible to say it.
To find Shu Meng's friends or classmates, of course, it must be a better relationship, then he can rest assured that Shu Meng will stay with them, he will definitely not stay in school for long, his goal is his parents, no matter what happens now, he will eventually embark on the road of finding his parents.
It's troublesome enough to go on the road alone, if he has to take Shu Meng with him, then I'm afraid he will have to think about whether to take her to find his parents with him, or find a stable place with her, and stay first...
Now everything has not stabilized, even his own food and clothing is a problem, if he goes on the road, there will definitely be many problems that are difficult to solve, but he can't wait, and he doesn't dare to delay any longer, and when he sees them later, the more panicked Zhou Che will be.
Father! Mother! I hope you're all well, otherwise...
Zhou Che shook his head, every time he thought of this, he didn't want to think about it anymore, that kind of result, he was a little afraid...
"Ahh And just when he couldn't control his thoughts here and kept thinking nonsense, Shu Meng beside him suddenly exclaimed, and his body trembled slightly, Zhou Che immediately came back to his senses, glanced at Shu Meng, and then looked at her line of sight, and then carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and finally was slightly stunned, and his gaze stayed in a recess not far away...
It is said to be a concave, but in fact, it is a big pit, and the distance between the two is only a few tens of meters.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned around, both with solemn expressions, and slowly walked towards the big pit.
This pit is the pit smashed out after those strange balls of light fall, Shu Meng is the first time to see it, but Zhou Che is no stranger to it, when he woke up, he had already seen it.
And when he just woke up, not long after the heavy rain stopped, the blood and water were still in a state of continuous convergence, just like blood-colored streams, converging into rivers, lakes and seas, pouring into that deep pit in a steady stream, that kind of scene directly made Zhou Che, who had just woken up at that time, shocked beyond measure!
That kind of scene is not much worse than the brilliance of the light balls falling at that time, but the difference is that those light balls bring a gorgeous and colorful shock, with some unknown fear, which makes people's hearts tremble, and the scene where the blood-colored streams converge is a completely different sense of shock!
Spooky and spectacular!
However, at a distance of several tens of meters, soon, the two of them had already walked to the edge of this big pit, and after seeing the scene in the pit again, Shu Meng directly covered her mouth, couldn't help but start retching, and even tears burst out of her eyes under this stimulation.
Zhou Che looked at it in a blink of an eye, even though he had seen such a scene a few days ago, but when he saw it again, he couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in his heart, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Like the pits caused by other light balls, this pit is also wide, and the deep pit was originally full of blood, but now a few days have passed, it has basically dried up, only the bottom of the pit still has some dark red delicate silt, there is some blood, and the ruins on the edge of the pit are also dyed with blood and water a little dazzling bright red!
And in those dark red mud, there are some corpses that are faintly buried, and they are almost impossible to see the shape, and some even seem to be only half of them, and the other parts are missing!
Occasionally, I can see an upward facing face, the flesh and blood on it are blurred, and the expression that is carefully recognized is also extremely distorted, coupled with the strong smell of blood on the face, Zhou Che is also a little unbearable!
In addition to these, Zhou Che also took a closer look and didn't find anything that matched those falling balls of light.
"What is this?" Shu Meng asked with a trembling voice, her eyes glanced over here, but she didn't dare to look again, and quickly turned around.
I don't know why, seeing such a scene, Zhou Che couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, heard Shu Meng's question, and then turned around, his face had regained some calmness.
"Those balls of light fell and smashed out of the pits..."Zhou Che replied simply.
As for those things at the bottom of the pit, there is no need for him to say it, Shu Meng should also know...
Those who died directly on the first day of the disaster had no chance of surviving at all, and now Zhou Che is actually no different from them, between life and death, the difference is just a little luck.
It stands to reason that it is still within the scope of Pearl Square, so now under the ruins under their feet, there should be a lot of corpses, it is estimated that they are no longer human, thinking of stepping on so many fresh corpses, Zhou Che didn't have the heart to stay any longer, turned his head to look at Shu Meng, but saw that she was still holding her forehead, and it was a little difficult to get used to it.
"How's it going, are you okay?" Zhou Che frowned and asked with some concern.
These scenes, even he endured the fear and disgust in his heart to be able to take a look or two, but after watching them, these scenes still had a great impact on his heart, like a nightmare, which made him unable to let go of it for a long time, let alone Shu Meng, a girl!
He is okay, he has seen a more shocking blood-colored stream a few days ago, a few days have passed, and he has gradually accepted it, although he is still afraid to see it again, but he can also adjust his state, Shu Meng is different, she has never seen such a terrifying and bloody scene.
"I'm fine." It didn't take long for Shu Meng to raise her head, although her voice was still a little trembling, her face had gradually recovered, and she was no longer pale.
"Then let's go."
"Hmm..."Shu Meng replied softly, frowning slightly, and didn't dare to look at the terrifying scene in the deep pit again.
The smell of blood around is strong, and there is also a faint rancid smell, as soon as you inhale the smell around you, anyone will feel disgusted, so that Zhou Che can't do it if he wants to take a deep breath, he only feels that his chest is stuffy, extremely heavy, and a little breathless.
Before leaving, I glanced back, and some of the corpses in the deep pit seemed... It's a little weird, but Zhou Che frowned, and he didn't want to think about it, so he pulled Shu Meng and turned around and left...
It was at this time that a head poked out of the ruins at the edge of the pit...
