Chapter 5 The National Killing Day

Walking through the fog will bring a burst of dizziness, Li Nan, whose body is different from ordinary people, quickly woke up, and saw himself lying on the grass, Li Nan was shocked in his heart, the mutated grass in the last days is also a very terrible thing.

However, Li Nan, who soon woke up, smiled self-deprecatingly, this is not the end of reality but an independent world in the fog, and the plants here are safe, he began to observe the surroundings, wanting to determine what kind of independent world he entered.

The clean and tidy streets, the single-family two-story villas of different styles on both sides of the road, and the carefully manicured lawns and gardens in front of the houses, Li Nan felt a sense of foreboding.

Li Nan, who had watched a lot of film and television works before the end of the world, felt that this did not seem to be the architectural style of China, but more like a middle-class community living in Europe and the United States, which was also the world that Li Nan was most afraid of entering, for the simple reason that he was a college student with poor English scores.

A yellow person who can only communicate with people with simple words, when he comes to a strange and dangerous world, he must also find the theme of this world to clear the level, which is really difficult, it is said that the probability of foreign film and television works appearing in China is seven percent, so Li Nan can only pray not to win the jackpot.

"Where are we?"

The girl's confused words came from Li Nan's side, which also reminded him that he was not on a solo adventure this time, and that he had a companion by his side.

"Shh Li Nan motioned to be quiet, and Bai Ying, who had come to her senses, looked around with a confused expression.

The mechanical watch on his wrist has lost its effect, because the speed of time in the independent world is not synchronized with the real world outside, but looking at the sky, it should be past six o'clock in the evening.

The streets of this eerie world are deserted, and under the light of the street lamps, you can see that every house has closed doors and windows, and there is a bouquet of blue indigo flowers in the doorway of the house.

Anyway, let's hide first, Li Nan took Bai Ying to carefully avoid the camera by using some obstacles, and came to a very beautiful and sturdy two-storey villa, hiding behind the tool room on the side of the building.

As soon as the two of them hid, there was a piercing alarm from the loudspeaker in the community, followed by a mechanized female voice repeatedly reciting a few paragraphs of English, Li Nan was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't understand a word at all, but Bai Ying next to him gave him an unexpected surprise.

Bai Ying translated: "This is not a drill, this is an emergency broadcast. The official start of the National Killing Day is now declared, during which the use of Class IV weapons is permitted, the rest are prohibited, and Level 10 government officials have immunity from killing. After the alert, all crimes, including murder, will be legal for the next 12 hours, and the police, fire and medical systems will be out of service until tomorrow morning at 7 a.m., when the sweep is over. Bless the new Founding Fathers, God bless America, and the nation reborn, and God be with you. ”

Li Nan looked at Bai Ying dumbfounded, "You didn't translate it wrong, did you?" What the hell is this bullshit world, what the hell is the National Killing Day and the Great Sweep? ”

Although Bai Ying was also surprised by everything she heard, her translation would never be wrong, she looked at Li Nan with confident eyes, and said that this is what she said on the radio.

"Fack!"

Li Nan scolded the words he was most familiar with, he was in a terrible mood, he originally thought that he would enter a world of domestic film and television, even if he hadn't seen that work, he could deduce the conditions for passing the customs, but now that he has come to such a strange world, coupled with the language barrier, the difficulty of customs clearance has increased exponentially.

There was silence all around, Li Nan, who was lying on the lawn, looked up at the starry sky, the bursts of insect chirping and the night wind made him temporarily forget the cruelty of the last days, and quietly enjoyed a short good time.

Bai Ying asked with some emotion: "Uncle, why don't we stay in this world and live forever?" ”

The girl's question broke the quiet atmosphere, and Li Nan explained, "Do you remember the three green spars I gave you when you came in?" The energy contained in the hedron can allow us to come to the independent world smoothly, but each world has a specific time, and if we have not cleared the level after the time, we will die directly. ”

"So how are we going to clear it?"

"Have you ever written an essay? Knowing the central idea, if you want to clear the level, you need to find the core idea that runs through this independent world, and what we do must be in line with the theme of this world to clear the level. ”

While the two were talking in a whisper, a stumbling figure appeared on the quiet street, and he also spotted the sturdiest two-story building in the neighborhood, standing under the street lamp and pleading under the camera.

β€œHelpme! Ijustneedtogetsomewheresafe!”

Li Nan, who was hiding in the corner, saw the blood stains on his face and chest with the help of the light, although he didn't understand what he said, but he also knew that the black man was asking for help, and then Bai Ying's translator also confirmed his guess, he shouted: Help me! I just need a place to take refuge.

Li Nan whispered to Bai Ying: "Follow me, we will rush in when we have the chance, it is safer in the house." ”

The two of them lay on the lawn and slowly crawled in the direction of the foyer, probably because the people inside had compassion, and in a rumbling mechanical sound, the heavy steel plate that protected the door slowly rose, and a boy shouted loudly.

Such a good opportunity could not be missed, Li Nan held the steel spear in his right hand and the pistol in his left hand, and rushed towards the open door, followed by Bai Ying.

In front of the open door, a seven or eight-year-old boy shouted at the black people on the street, Li Nan and Bai Ying suddenly appeared, scaring the little boy, the boy did not threaten, Li Nan rushed directly into the building, and bumped into a couple in the hall on the first floor, they should be the owners of this house.

"Uh..." Li Nan couldn't remember the English word to greet people for a while, but fortunately, Bai Ying followed.

"Tell them that we have no ill intentions, and that we will leave after hiding for one night."

Bai Ying translated Li Nan's words, and at this time, the black people outside also ran into the house, the steel plate in front of the door slowly fell, and there were six people standing in the hall on the first floor at this time, and everyone did not dare to move.

At this moment a young boy of sixteen or seventeen years of age came down the stairs leading to the second floor, and he greeted the man downstairs, "Good evening, Mr. James." ”

As soon as the words fell, the boy raised his gun and pointed it at the man to kill him, and the man also took out the gun from his belt and wanted to shoot back.

"Bang bang bang" Although this young boy is aiming at the male owner here, but eliminating all dangers is the rule of survival in the apocalypse, Li Nan did not hesitate to shoot him directly three times in the head, and pointed the gun at the male owner holding the gun in his hand.

Seeing that Li Nan's marksmanship was so amazing, the man of the house slowly put down his pistol.

Li Nan said to Bai Ying: "Go and pick up his gun, and by the way, ask them, who is this fool who casually raises a gun?" There were also a few people in the house. ”

Bai Ying talked with the couple for a few words and told Li Nan that there were four people in the room, her husband James, his wife Mary, eldest daughter Zoe and youngest son Charlie, and the one who died just now was Zoe's boyfriend Henry.

"Go find duct tape or rope, these people are too messy, tie them up first." After Li Nan finished speaking to Bai Ying, he pointed a gun at the black man and the James family of three who had fled in and forced them into the living room.

After Bai Ying tied all four people to the single sofa with duct tape, Li Nan came to Bai Ying's side and taught her how to use the captured revolver, "After opening the insurance, you can aim at the target and shoot directly, you take the gun and watch them, don't let them move, I'll go up and catch the girl." ”

After Bai Ying took the gun, Li Nan ran upstairs quickly, Henry's body on the stairs had been dragged away, and his gun was gone, it seemed that the girl named Zoe had a gun in her hand.

Li Nan quietly followed the blood trail to the bathroom on the second floor, where a girl in a student uniform was lying on Henry's corpse crying, and a pistol was placed on the ground.

"Hey!"

Zoe, who heard the voice, looked up and saw a gun pointed at her head and obediently raised her hand and stood up, Li Nan came to her side and picked up the pistol on the ground, and pushed her to the living room downstairs.

After tying Zoe to the sofa chair, Li Nan finally put his mind at ease, and the two came to the refrigerator in the kitchen, and after opening it, Bai Ying laughed excitedly.

The main food of people in the last days is the meat of various mutated creatures, and the barbecue and stew that lacks various condiments is actually not delicious, there will always be a fishy smell, as for vegetables and fruits, everyone has long forgotten their taste, and now they see a refrigerator full of all kinds of food, and the two of them don't have to be polite, Li Nan picked up a cabbage and gnawed it, Bai Ying grabbed an apple in one hand and a carrot in the other and ate it.

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the few people tied up in the living room, Li Nan swallowed a mouthful of cabbage and said, "Bai Ying, let them introduce the age and date of this world, as well as what the national slaughter day means on the radio." ”

After some communication between Bai Ying and them, Li Nan finally figured out the setting of this world.

The current time is March 21, 2029. In this futuristic world, the United States, faced with a financial crisis and rising unemployment and crime rates, has enacted a law that allows everyone to legally kill each other for 12 hours between 7 p.m. on March 21 and 7 a.m. on March 22 each year. In the past few years, a large number of homeless and unemployed people have been killed, the government has not only saved a lot of money, but also the unemployment rate has dropped significantly, and people who usually have a grudge will choose this day to legally release their anger in their hearts, so the crime rate has also decreased, and the people of the whole country have gradually accepted this law.

After listening to Bai Ying's translation, Li Nan didn't know how to evaluate this strange world setting, and he couldn't analyze the core idea of this independent world.

Thinking of the young man he had just killed, Li Nan asked, "Isn't that Henry Zoe's boyfriend?" Why is he here? ”

Zoe, who was tied up, cried and told the reason, it turned out that his father James was against his daughter Zoe and Henry befriending, so Henry wanted to kill James legally under the pretext that it was the National Killing Day.

"Damn! What kind of mess is this, are the people here all crazy? Li Nan felt that he had lived in the last days for five years and had seen a lot of strange human beings, but this world still gave him more knowledge.
