Chapter 54: Helplessness
A few people had just walked out of the door of the apartment, and Meng Fan suddenly smiled bitterly.
Because, he saw that a shadow walked straight over, and this person was Xie Mengting.
She didn't walk fast, her lilac sneakers stepped on the concrete floor, making a slight "click" sound, and the breeze blew, curling the girl's long hair, flowing freely, but the girl's face was not very good-looking.
Her face is beautiful, although she is not wearing makeup, there is still a simple beauty on her face, but the eye circles are a little blue, obviously the past few days have not been very smooth.
"You're here?" Meng Fan saw that the girl pursed her lips and didn't speak, while Wen Zishi and the others next to her didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to help, so they took their eyes off the two of them and had to speak, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
Embarrassingly, Xie Mengting did not answer his words, but as if ignoring him, she said to Wen Zishi who was dodging: "Where are you going?" ”
"Uh...... We're going to Xiao ...... Yes! Why pinch me! As soon as Wen Zishi was halfway through his words, he was quietly pinched by Lin Tongtong behind his back, he turned around, but saw that Lin Tongtong's face was a little dark, and when he saw Lin Tongtong giving him frequent looks, he realized that he had just said the wrong thing.
Although the most powerful nightmare has been removed, Xiaoshan at this time is still the most active area of nightmares, as a critical space between the virtual world and the real world, the barrier between the two worlds is the weakest in Xiaoshan, maybe when there will be a powerful nightmare haunted, and it is not impossible to encounter a life and death crisis.
"Ah, that, it's not good to stay in the house all the time, we are planning to take Brother Fan out to blow the wind and bask in the sun." Lin Tongtong pulled Wen Zishi behind him and said with a smile, but there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Ah, yes, we're just going to go out for a walk!" Wen Zishi also hurriedly said, but he didn't look like he was going to come out casually at all.
After all, lying to your face, and it's an obvious lie, is not always easy to do.
Xie Mengting glanced at the two of them angrily, waved her hand impatiently, as if driving away flies, and said: "Okay, okay, you don't have to hide it, go to Xiaoshan and go to Xiaoshan, what is there to hide?" ”
Ignoring the two who looked a little embarrassed on the side, Xie Mengting shifted her gaze to Meng Fan, looked up at the man who was supported by Wen Zishi, and said, "Just leave so secretly?" Do you still want to hide it from me? I tell you, don't want to leave me again! ”
As the girl spoke, her eyes couldn't help but become moist, which made Meng Fan a little overwhelmed.
To be honest, the positions of the two are different after all, for Xie Mengting's disappearance in the past few days, although Meng Fan has some heartache, he also feels more relieved, after all, he is at a critical moment of life and death at this time, it is difficult to say whether there is a future, how can he bear to let this girl wait for him?
Although Xie Mengting can understand Meng Fan's thoughts, what is love? Isn't love to share weal and woe?
"Leave me behind and take on everything alone, do you think this is a hero?" The girl was not hysterical, her voice was very calm, however, this calm voice was like a heavy hammer, striking Meng Fan's heart one by one.
He was silent, trying to help the girl wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but he realized that he could not do anything about it.
Life is always so helpless, sometimes, although it is only one step away, it seems to be two worlds.
"Let's break up."
It's a few simple words, but it seems to have exhausted all your strength.
And these words, like a sharp cone, pierced the hearts of two people.
"Good!"
The girl bowed her head, said only one word, turned and left, leaving only a shadow on the long street, farther and farther away.
The sun is still so bright, but it can't warm the cold heart.
Meng Fan's gaze never fell on the figure that was gradually moving away, for a long time, he suddenly raised his head, but where could he still see that figure?
A strong sense of exhaustion instantly poured into every corner of his body and even his soul, but he didn't feel sleepy, and in his mind, only the girl's smiling face bloomed like a flower.
"Brother Fan, I know, you think you are good to Sister Ting, but what girl is willing to watch her beloved struggle in danger, but she hides behind and is indifferent?" Lin Tongtong said, there was a lot of unbearability in her words, although it was persuasion, but it seemed to be telling her heart: "I know, you want her to stay away from danger, but do you know? Love is inseparable! ”
After Lin Tongtong said all this, the heart that had been suppressed instantly relaxed a lot. She said: "Little Stone, you take care of Brother Fan here, I'll go find Sister Ting!" ”
After saying a word, Lin Tongtong hurriedly chased after the place where Xie Mengting left.
"Zishi, I just think that if she follows me, there will be no future. Do you think I'm doing something wrong? For a long time, Meng Fan's deep voice sounded in Wen Zishi's ears.
Wen Zishi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Meng Fan didn't seem to be planning to hear any answers, he said calmly: "Let's go, let's go to Xiaoshan." ”
This calm voice sounded in Wen Zishi's ears, but Wen Zishi could hear what kind of pain and reluctance were buried in this voice!
Wen Zishi sighed, but only said two words: "Let's go." ”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Meng Fan tilted his head, but his eyes were not focused at all.
The traffic is like a shuttle.
Although such a terrifying incident broke out in Xiaoshan a few days ago, and more than 300 people were missing, except for bringing some panic to the people in Luocheng and some after-dinner conversations, it actually did not have much impact.
The dead are gone, and the living still have to continue to be busy in order to survive.
Although a few people chose to stay away from Luocheng, most people still chose to stay in this city.
Where can you go if you leave?
This incident in Luocheng is not the only one, after that era of panic, only in China, not counting this Xiaoshan incident, there are enough thirteen large-scale nightmare outbreaks, all over the land of China.
In this day and age, the largest number of unnatural deaths each year is not natural disasters, car accidents, or diseases, but nightmares.
People living in this era have long been accustomed to this kind of crisis that may arise at any time.
In life, there are often many helpless things, not to mention emotional things?
All the way forward, the original traffic flow was like a shuttle, and slowly became deserted, occasionally one or two cars passed by, until there were still more than forty miles away from Xiaoshan, and on the spacious road, only the car they were riding in was driving alone.
"Brother Fan, we're here."
Wen Zishi's voice interrupted Meng Fan's contemplation, he raised his head, about twenty meters away in front of the car, there was a roadblock, and there were five armed soldiers guarding the roadblock, and next to the mountain road, only a few hundred meters away, there were two temporary sentry posts, and there were soldiers constantly patrolling above, without the slightest slack.
A soldier walked up, clutched a long rifle in one hand, slapped the window a few times, and said, "Two gentlemen, this place is very dangerous, it has been cordoned off, please go back." ”
The soldier's skin was a little tanned, meticulous, and his eyes were always inseparable from the two of them.
"Thanks for the reminder." Meng Fan smiled slightly, and said to the soldier: "I have already contacted Division Commander Chu in advance, and the password is 318419. ”
The soldier glanced at Meng Fan in some surprise, walked two steps to the side of the road, moved away from the car body a little, waved his hand, and said, "The password is correct, allow passage!" ”
The barricades were removed, and the vehicles passed through the checkpoint unhindered, heading for Xiaoshan, ten miles away.
This level was only a peripheral defense line, just to prevent ordinary people from straying into it and causing unnecessary casualties, and it took about seven or eight miles to reach the real blockade line in Xiaoshan.
Guarded here are not only ordinary soldiers with dream weapons, but also dream army soldiers who have reached the level of at least dream controllers, they are the defense line to prevent nightmares from breaking into the virtual realm from leaving Xiaoshan and entering the human world, a defense line that guards human beings with their lives.
After all, dream controllers are not as common as ordinary people, because every two hundred meters away, there are only three Dream Army soldiers guarding, they are the main force of the battle, and they are also the most important vigilantes, as for ordinary soldiers, when facing nightmares, they play more of a cover role.
Xiaoshan is vast, even if it only blocks the place where the Void Realm once appeared, after a rough calculation, there are at least six or seven hundred Dream Army soldiers here.
The towering mountain wall next to the original mountain road has been completely bulldozed at this time, and on a somewhat uneven ground, a huge metal instrument the size of a small house is placed there, and the lower part is flat, but there is an extension like a high tower spire above the machine, rising straight up, more than ten meters high!
The machine turned, making a rumbling sound, and waves of energy that were imperceptible to the naked eye spread outward from the towering metal spires above it.
This tall instrument is the spirit sealing machine, as the name suggests, that is, the machine that seals the spirit body.
In the entire area of Xiaoshan, there are five such spirit sealing machines placed around Xiaoshan, in order to prevent nightmares from breaking away from Xiaoshan and invading the human world.
This machine is so huge, and there are many places in Xiaoshan that are inaccessible, and three of them are directly descended from the air with the help of multiple military helicopters.
At this moment, I saw Meng Fan and the two driving forward, and on the camp next to them, a Mengjun officer strode forward and blocked the way for the two.
Wen Zishi didn't wait for the officer to speak, and then took the initiative to say: "The password 318419!" ”
The officer laughed instantly, and Meng Fan also laughed, laughing so much that Wen Zishi was a little inexplicable.
Just in Wen Zishi's surprised gaze, the officer saluted Meng Fan with a solemn tone, but said with some excitement: "Hello Instructor Meng!" ”
The smile on Meng Fan's face did not decrease, and he said appreciatively: "Well, Shen Ye, it seems that you are doing well, and you have been promoted to the level of a fourth-level dream controller." ”
"No, I should say that I am ashamed," Shen Ye was not the slightest bit proud, and said with a little shame: "With your guidance, Instructor Meng, if I can't reach the fourth level, it will be too much to say." I was the worst of our students, and I didn't even qualify to join you. ”
