Chapter 81: Connections

I felt a red glow in my eyelids, the sound of the empty wind in my ears, and the electronic remix of Dragon Quest. I slowly opened my eyes. The dawn of the city gradually rises in the morning light, and the small and dense urban buildings are like models piled up in the sand, as if they are pushed down.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and subconsciously looked down, but I was dizzy and almost fell down.

At the moment, I was sitting on the edge of the roof of an abandoned building, my feet dangling dozens of meters in the air, next to Twilight, who was still engrossed in playing the PSP handheld.

"Hey, you haven't slept all night?" I asked, with a slap on my lips, and I quickly wiped it off. In addition to the secret base "Water's Edge", occasionally we would sneak up to the roof of an abandoned building like this, buy two cans of beer, and then pull out the PSP and play endlessly all night. The night view of the city and the starry sky hang overhead like a spherical glass cover, and the abyss below. Standing on the edge of the rooftop, the night breeze is calling from below, pulling with the adrenaline, and there is a feeling of exhilaration.

The PSP quickly issued a warning that there was no power, and the moment the Sword of Courage landed on the head of the youkai leader, the screen went out. The morning sun shot down from the end of the horizon and shone on Twilight's tired face. He yawned heavily, squinted his dark eyes and smiled, "It's so cool!" That's how life should be! ”

The morning light began to erode the city's buildings, coloring their pitch-black bodies. Twilight propped her hands behind her back, looked up and said, "Morning, don't you think this world is strange? ”

"How?" Feeling the cool breeze of vitality, I asked nonchalantly.

He looked into the distance and said, "The day is called 'light', but the night is considered 'darkness', the brave is the symbol of 'justice', and the monster is the embodiment of 'evil'......"

He chuckled and said, "Your name 'Chen' means 'hope', but my 'Twilight' means 'despair', just as life is given the meaning of 'good' and death is considered 'bad'......"

I stretched and stood up, Twilight's nervous thoughts were commonplace. I said, "I'm an ordinary person, not a genius like you, so I think what you're saying is perfectly normal, and there's nothing strange about it." He yawned as if to emphasize that he didn't care.

"No, you're smart, you just don't know it," Twilight said earnestly, "You must have thought that if this world was full of monsters, would the monsters still think that the brave were 'righteous'?" If all people, like vampires, fear the day and love the night, then would the meaning of day still mean 'light'? Therefore, all the 'good' in this world is determined by the power of the majority, just as the loser in the war will be regarded as evil, and the victor will still be regarded as righteous even if he kills a lot, and the church that is not in the tide will be regarded as a cult, and the church that is accepted by the majority will be regarded as righteous. ”

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and continued: "A world full of 'living' will of course think that 'life' is beautiful, on the contrary, if a world is full of 'dead', 'life' is disgusting 'evil'......"

Looking at the open scenery in front of me, and listening to Twilight's bizarre but intriguing remarks, I was speechless. At that moment, I felt a push from behind, and my weight suddenly leaned forward, and great fear accompanied by adrenaline filling my body.

"Twilight?" I turned my head sharply as I fell, and Twilight was standing on the edge of the roof looking at me with a cold expression. I desperately reached out to grab him, but I couldn't catch anything, and gravity pulled me to the ground mercilessly......

"Ah Chen!" Xiao Lin's call pulled me back from the fall, and I grabbed the edge of the ladder with my hand, and the weight of the whole person fell on my hands at once, and my muscles ached. My mind went blank, my chest heaved violently, and I was panting.

You have to go back to the ladder! I thought, and a strong desire to survive directs me to pull up my hands up.

"Li Chen, don't rush back to the ladder yet, you look behind you, there are still two or three meters to the opposite side. Swing over first, and then climb up with the strength of the wall. Guan Fei said.

I turned my head to see that the wall was right in front of me, so I immediately adjusted my position, grabbed the ladder hard, and began to alternately reach for the ladder in front of me, swinging forward. The continuous running and exertion almost overdrew my physical strength, and indeed, as Guan Fei said, I couldn't get back to the ladder alone in such a state.

Looking down, there was no barrier between me and the raging tide of corpses, their fangs and claws looking terrifyingly close. Every time I took a step forward, I had to stop and catch my breath, which was very painful. After a few pauses, I finally came to the wall.

Bend over, bend your knees, put your feet on the wall, and then push your body up with all your might, step by step. The muscles of both hands were shaking in pain, and there were several times when I almost let go, but even if it was so hard, it was much less effort than turning it over alone.

Finally, I climbed over the wall and survived.

Twilight, I still can't understand the weird theories you said...... Lying on the wall, I gasped and thought that life is life and death is death, and even in this world full of "dead", I still think that life is a lucky thing. I will definitely try to survive by all means, not only me, but also those I cherish......

After lying down for a while, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong around me, so I sat up vigilantly. Then I was taken aback, because I noticed that the ladder was still shaking, and at this time, no one had touched the ends of the ladder. I looked at Guan Fei in confusion, and he was also shaking his head in front of the window, confused.

So I slowly moved my gaze to the end of the ladder, where there was a spotlight stand fixed to the wall. The bracket is also shaking at a certain frequency at the moment.

"Giggle~~~Giggle~~~" I faintly heard a hoarse cry coming from the zombie's throat, but it wasn't coming from the corpses under the wall, but from a closer place. I walked over, and a piece of hemp rope extended from the stand, and along the hemp rope I looked down and gasped.

Actually, that's how it is......

I sat down on the wall, looking up at the sky and laughing, laughing and laughing and crying.

It's hilarious! The madman died because of this......

There was a zombie hanging under the hemp rope, and the part below the waist had been eaten by the corpses below, and only half of the body remained. As soon as the wind whistled in the distance, it immediately moved and struggled desperately, so that the vibration was transmitted from the stand to the ladder, and it lasted for a long time.

Even the dead are laughing at us......

I continued to laugh as I pulled a knife from my waist and cut the hemp rope with one hand, severing my connection to the darkness and my connection to the past.

That day, I was pushed downstairs by my friend Twilight, and then he jumped off himself. I happened to land on a big tree and survived, but he was not so lucky, he fell directly on the concrete floor, turning into "despair" and "darkness......
