Chapter 1 In this life, there is no end to death
It has been a full five years since the blood moon volley, and for a **** at the bottom of society like Li Ran, the most painful thing is not that he can't find out what happened, but how to keep himself alive in this kind of sudden accident, and how to keep himself from being killed by those monsters or becoming the belly of the same kind.

In five years, Suyan City, with a population of 8 million, has become a ghost town, and you don't want to see living people when you walk on the street, because that means they, like you, are out to "forage".
You are a hunter, and you are also a prey, as for those inhumans and beasts who are murderous and have absolute crushing strength, they have long since left here - there is no one to kill, and they will not stay for long.
Li Ran had been hungry for three whole days while he was seriously injured, the strong hunger feeling of his chest against his back was really uncomfortable, and every breath caused his chest to rise and fall like a knife, stabbing Li Ran's spleen and stomach frantically, he had reached a critical point - the critical point of death.
The streets were unusually quiet, and there was not even a trace of wind, which made Li Ran's already hesitant heart more and more depressed at the same time;
The shadows of the buildings on the street are like a beast with its jaws open, ready to devour any outsider.
Five years ago, Li Ran worked hard for three meals a day in Suyan City, fantasizing about a Youwo life with a car and a house to eat and drink.
Li Ran still remembers that morning, the sky in the fog darkened, day and night changed in an instant, in the fog, the blurred sun seemed to be swallowed by something, one second it was still hanging high above his head, and the next second it disappeared without a trace.
Since then, the sun has never appeared in that semi-arc sky, and in its place is a very strange "blood moon", a blood-red celestial body.
That day was known as the Blood Moon Volley!
Because of the Blood Moon, the sky is always dark red during the day, and there is always an unpredictable fog floating outside.
The light of the Blood Moon was like the setting sun, casting an eerie afterglow through the mist.
There is a murderous intent hidden in the softness.
Five years are unbearable, but the memory is still fresh.
People's eyesight will be weakened a lot in a dim environment, especially after being seriously injured, Li Ran is still in a state of extreme hunger and hesitation, for the "hunter" lurking in the depths of the shadows, Li Ran is an excellent "prey" for people who have no power to fight back.
The hunter did not rush out to fight Li Ran.
He hid in a flower shop next to the road, lying on the ground, using the discarded flower pots in the flower shop to hide himself.
The location of the Blood Moon was on the south side of the building, and the place where he was hiding was even darker, and it was difficult to find that there was still a person lying here unless he was specifically staring at his side.
"Here, this guy must be taken down this time!"
When Li Ran walked ten meters in front of him, he gently spit out a sentence, his voice was extremely weak, for fear of being heard by others, it was more like babbling.
He had already set a trap here beforehand, waiting for the "prey" in front of him.
The trap was a tightrope on the ground, which was not obvious in a dim environment, but Li Ran had long been accustomed to this kind of day of hunting and being hunted, and he found his tracks and the trap on the ground when he was thirty meters away from the lurker.
Li Ran didn't flee, nor did he intend to fight the lurkers, he bent his waist and dragged his tired and hungry body into the trap like a walking corpse.
Sou!
The person hiding in the shadows immediately pulled the mechanism, the wire tightened instantly, and the billboard hanging at the other end fell with a clatter.
At the same time, Li Ran, who was tied to the steel wire, was carried up by this force and hung headfirst in the air.
Li Ran did not panic, did not suffer, and did not even have the slightest complaint.
He was already desperate, and when Li Ran saw with his own eyes the moment the last person who cared about him stopped breathing, he was desperate.
"Hey, hey!"
The lurking man crept out of the darkness, holding a triangular thorn in his hand, the blackened blood groove meant it was a blood-soaked weapon.
"Come on, let me die a happy death, I've lived enough."
Li Ran shouted in his heart, closed his eyes gently, he was waiting for the other party to harvest his life, he knew that he would become the food in the belly of this guy or this group of guys, but so what?
Li Ran knew the taste of human flesh.
Sour.
Bitter.
"I'm sorry!"
Burst!
The other party immediately started after apologizing, very happy and professional, the three-edged army stabbed at Li Ran's heart, and at this moment Li Ran opened his eyes.
The blood moon was in the sky, flushing red, and in front of him, there was a petite body and a dusty immature face, this should be a girl less than twenty years old......
Thundered!
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, breaking the silence.
Thunder and rain hit.
The room was suddenly bright, and the young man lying on the bed sat up suddenly, letting out a rapid gasp.
The man gasped for a moment, as if he had just opened his eyes, and looked out the window, where the rain was pouring down, and the sound of hitting the window was aggressive, and the window was not tight, and a trace of wind blew into the room through the cracks, and the sound was like the whispering of the devil.
The man lifted the quilt blankly, his body shaking rhythmically, and he stared at his hands—palms that had not been killed, had not been stained with blood.
Nightmare!
That was the man's first thought, and he jumped out of bed quickly, and before he even had time to put on his slippers, he went headlong into the bathroom.
Syllable.
With a soft sound and whining of electricity, the sun lamp in the bathroom shone brightly, and the man lay in front of the vanity mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly sobbed in a low voice.
Nightmare!
Everything is a nightmare!
But is it really a nightmare?
The man trembled and stretched out his left hand, stroking the smooth mirror, and something seemed to appear on his left arm, flashing like a fragment of fish scales.
What is that?
Delusion?
The man threw a punch that shattered the vanity mirror in front of him.
The pain came into his mind, blood flowed down the back of his hand, he looked at the countless broken selves in the broken mirror, and let out a low roar in his suppressed voice: "I'm still alive!" ”
This man is none other than Li Ran, who was captured and killed before, the younger Li Ran.
Ding dong.
The sound of the mobile phone came from outside, and it was a text message.
Li Ran took a deep breath and turned on the faucet to wash the back of his hands, he didn't know why he was still alive, he didn't know what happened, but no matter what, he was alive, he was alive now, healthy and alive.
It's just that there seems to be something more in the left arm, and I can't figure it out, so I don't care about it for the time being.
Li Ran pressed the phone screen, and the standby screen was a very beautiful woman, with long hair, a goose egg face, eyes with contact lenses that were particularly charming, and a red lip upturned like a crescent moon, as if she was asking for a kiss and teasing.
She is Li Ran's girlfriend and one of the people Li Ran hates the most.
Scratch open the standby screen and open the text message, the content is so familiar: Li Ran, break up if you don't pay the full amount, there is no room for negotiation, it is you who chase me, and it is not me who chases you, I sleep and sleep, I don't owe you.
Li Ran clearly remembers that three days before the blood moon volley, he had a big quarrel with his girlfriend, because his girlfriend had to pay the full amount to buy a house and could not take a mortgage.
Li Ran has worked hard in Suyan City for five years, saving money and saving more than 100,000 yuan, and his family scraped together more than 100,000 yuan, which is only enough to buy an 80-square-meter building in the suburbs of Suyan City, and it is only enough for a down payment, what will Li Ran use to pay the full amount of millions of yuan?
The girlfriend who has been dealing with her for a few months has a bad temper, and Li Ran is an indecisive soft person, Li Ran used to let her lose her temper, but this time it was not a matter of letting Yu not let go, but the girlfriend gave an ultimatum, did not buy a house in full, and broke up directly, without any room for negotiation.
"Huh."
Li Ran sneered, looked at the time, it was more than ten o'clock at night, and then looked at the date, if it wasn't a dream before, the "Blood Moon Volley Incident" would happen at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, he ignored his girlfriend's text message, opened the phone book and read it from beginning to end.
Li Ran doesn't have many friends, because of work, the people in his mobile phone are basically one-time friends - he is a truck driver, and he buys a second-hand truck that specializes in pulling goods for others, so all the surnames and bosses' names in his mobile phones are all surnames and bosses, such as Boss Wang, Boss Li, Boss Zhang, etc., and there are almost no real friends.
He is not a local, he has not been back to his hometown for five years, and his former friends have long since lost contact.
In addition to these, the only ones left are their parents and my sister, who has just entered the third year of high school.
Li Ran was silent for a moment, and finally closed the phone book, opened the chat software, found his sister's avatar, and showed that the other party was online, and their dormitory should not have turned off the lights at this time.
"Little sister, have you slept?"
Li Ran typed in this row of Chinese characters a little rustily and sent it out.
The other party replied to the message.
"I just got out of the evening self-study, and I queued up in the water room." There is a picture of a smiling face at the back.
Li Ran: "Tomorrow Friday, I will get home on Saturday morning, and you will also go back, I haven't seen you for five years, I miss you very much." ”
"Huh?"
The other party sent a word, followed by another message: "Brother, do you want to go home?" I remember that you said before that you were going to buy a house and get married, have you already booked it, hahaha, congratulations to my brother, but I haven't seen what my sister-in-law will look like in the future, brother, do you want to send a photo of your sister-in-law to my sister? ”
Li Ran didn't answer his sister's words, and sent it again: "You will also go home this Saturday." ”
"Roger!"
Behind it was a smiley face.
Putting away the mobile phone, Li Ran opened the window, let the wind and rain pour into the house, Li Ran touched the rain on his face, looked at the brightly lit metropolis downstairs, and whispered to himself: "In the last life, I was willing to fall, and now, I am back, in this life, I will never die!" ”
