Chapter 5 Pearl Square

"Bang!"

In the silence, a sound suddenly came, it seemed that something had been touched, this sound was only a dozen meters away from Zhou Che, it was very clear, originally Zhou Che was a little sluggish, startled by this sudden sound, and turned his head to look at the ruins not far away, an afterimage flashed, extremely fast, and he didn't have time to see it clearly.

"What?!" Shocked in his heart, a trace of panic flashed on his face.

Although he couldn't see what it was, he could also see that it was a living creature in the afterimage he vaguely saw, the body was gray, the size of a dog, but it looked fatter than ordinary dogs, and looking at the size, it was obviously not a dog, this kind of creature, in Zhou Che's impression, had never seen it...

The fog around is getting thicker and thicker, and the vision is greatly affected by this, and everything in the distance is blurred, and the silence around makes the atmosphere here more and more eerie.

Now, under all kinds of weirdness, no matter how unwilling Zhou Che is to believe it, he has to think in his heart that this disaster is definitely not simple!

What did this meteorite rain bring? Or rather, what are those falling balls of light?

Are those monsters that often appear in science fiction movies?!

stared at the ruins more than ten meters away, and stared at it with bated breath for a long time, but this thing seemed to pass by by accident, and disappeared after a flash, and two minutes passed, and there was no movement at all.

"Gone? Or am I dazzled..."

It can't be said that Zhou Che is timid, but the current situation makes him have to be cautious, not to mention whether there are really any monsters around, but his current state, even if there is a small situation, he will be difficult to deal with.

His current physical state can be said to be extremely poor, the wound on his arm still has bursts of sharp pain, the pain of broken bones, it is impossible for ordinary people to stand it, but he has no other way now, his right hand is hanging down, his body is trembling slightly, and he can only endure it, in addition, his head is also a little groggy, his whole body is sore, and he is about to lose consciousness.

Even the gaze is a little erratic, and it is difficult to concentrate.

Now he is very weak and has the possibility of falling down at any time, and once he falls here, it is estimated that he will never be able to stand up again...

After staring for a while, he frowned, turned his head to look around, and found that there was really no movement, so he turned around and continued to walk in the direction of Pearl Square.

Fortunately, Pearl Square is not far away, and in the fog, some intact buildings can be seen faintly, and his current speed is not slow, and he can reach it in a few minutes.

"It's coming! Almost there! Gritting his teeth, Zhou Che was also a little apprehensive in his heart, Pearl Square said that it was not big, but it was really going to walk, the scale was not small, I don't know how many survivors there were now, if he got there, but didn't find other survivors, then his situation would still be very difficult.

Not only that, if there is no living person, I am afraid that his idea of wanting to live will be shaken, and at this moment, it is completely a mind supporting him to move forward.

"Ahh

Just when he was worried here, suddenly, a scream came from not far ahead, which made his heart shrink and stop!

"Whewβ€”" his breathing began to grow heavy.

This is a woman's scream, it sounds very frightened, and there is a slight trembling, as if she has encountered something extremely terrifying, under this silence, Zhou Che heard it very obviously.

Coupled with the somewhat strange figure just now, it's hard for him not to associate it!

"Could it be... There really are monsters! It was those orbs of light that brought it! Definitely! There are monsters! Until now, he was really a little panicked, those murderous species in science fiction movies, instantly appeared in his mind, originally just the surrounding environment was weird, and he only guessed about monsters, even if he saw that strange figure, he kept comforting himself in his heart, it was just a cat or dog...

Even if the creature didn't look like a cat or dog or anything like that.

But now, the scream made him more sure of the idea of the monster.

Monsters, if it was before, it would sound ridiculous, Zhou Che was a little interested in these, but if someone told him that there were really monsters in the world, he would definitely scoff at it, and even curse a fool in his heart, I'm afraid that only some children will be scared by this kind of nonsense, but now, after this meteorite rain, it seems that nothing is impossible!

"What to do... What to do! What the hell is it?! ”

His body is too weak, and at this moment he is relying on a thought to die, if something really attacks, he can't dodge or run away at all, it can be said that he will die!

But he didn't want to die!

He's going to live!

He's going to his parents!

However, just when he was extremely nervous here, the screaming stopped abruptly, and then there was a moment of silence, and a heart-rending cry was heard.

"Not a monster?!"

Zhou Che was stunned again, then came back to his senses, frowned, hesitated for a moment, looked in the direction of Pearl Square, and then took a cautious step and walked in the direction where the cry came.

The direction of the cry is not much different from the direction of the Pearl Square, otherwise, Zhou Che will definitely not come, and soon, the cry is getting closer and closer, and finally, in a sunken charred ruin, he saw a woman.

To be precise, it was a woman who was close to middle age, kneeling on the ruins at the moment, her hair and clothes were dirty, looking up to the sky and wailing, looking extremely sad, looking closely, Zhou Che was breathing again, and then a chill rushed to his head, and he was stunned on the spot.

In her arms, there was a little boy who looked to be about ten years old, the child's body was intact, but half of his head was missing at the moment, the flesh and blood at the wound were blurred, it looked hideous and terrifying, and it was impossible to survive!

There was nothing but charred ruins, and the fog and cold wind made the scene even more bleak.

Looking at this scene, his body trembled continuously, feeling that the death that was originally extremely distant seemed to be getting closer and closer to him at this moment, as if he was infected, and from the heart-rending wail, he felt a powerless sadness, and there was some fear in it.

Most people can say that they are not afraid of death, that is only because they feel that death is too far away from them, and after truly witnessing death, their hearts will throb, just like when a loved one dies, he really feels the irretrievable goodbye, and after truly experiencing the edge of death, he will understand the preciousness of life!

However, Zhou Che is now on the verge of death all the time...

Life is so fragile that for the earth, this catastrophe may be just a small accident, but for humanity, it is almost devastating.

Child... It may be all this woman has, or it may even be more important than her own life, but now, when she wakes up, her child is dead, and she is dying a miserable death!

He never looked away, and he didn't know how long it had been, but the woman gradually stopped crying, held the child's corpse, lowered her head and kissed it, raised her head, stayed for a long time, and then reached out and picked up a piece of ruin.

Raising his hand, without the slightest hesitation, the sharp corner smashed into his head!

β€œ...”

Zhou Che kept watching, until this moment, his heart trembled violently, and he wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but in the end, he didn't even open his mouth.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the woman didn't even scream, blood splashed, and she fell directly to the side.

Another person... Died in front of himself, and died so directly and violently!

Trembling, Zhou Che closed his eyes, but he couldn't get rid of this picture in his mind, especially when he thought of the lack of the little boy's head, he would have an extreme fear in his heart, and he had a bad premonition for no reason.

What caused such a wound?!

In just a moment, he opened his eyes, glanced over again, and then turned away.

The death he witnessed again and again made his heart throb again and again, and he was almost a little numb, but he didn't have so much time to meditate now...

"Dad! Mother! Wait for me! Gritting his teeth, he stopped staying and quickened his pace in the direction of Pearl Square.

...

Pearl Square.

Although most of the buildings here have collapsed, some of the buildings that have been well preserved are still relatively safe and can be used as a refuge for the survivors.

At this moment, in a clothing store on the edge of Pearl Square, there are more than a dozen people squatting scattered in various corners, looking from the floor-to-ceiling windows here, you can see the scorched black ruins under the gloomy sky outside, and the slightest white mist is born, which looks bleak and weird.

This is still Tang City, but it is no longer the Tang City they are familiar with!

Among them, there were both men and women, young and old, and the youngest child, who was held in the arms of a young woman, looked unweaned.

No one spoke, staring at the scene outside, most people's eyes were dull, they had never experienced this, this sudden disaster made them at a loss, and the ups and downs of life almost made them desperate!

Even the child in the woman's arms was not crying at the moment, and there was no smart light in the little eyes at all, but with a little confused fear...

"Someone! Someone's coming! ”

Their eyes flickered slightly, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, everyone looked carefully, and then they saw a figure on a pile of ruins not far away, swaying towards this side.

His speed was very slow, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to even stand, and when he walked over, he didn't have an accurate foothold for every step, so he shook over, but when he was still about a hundred meters away from this side, he finally couldn't resist, his body shook, and then he fell.

...
