Chapter 36: Fear of Heaven
Therefore, Liu Chang hesitated again.
Everyone fears death, but the level of fear of different ways of dying varies greatly - many people can accept a peaceful old age and be turned to ashes, but no one wants to be crushed in the stinking sewers, smashed to pieces by disgusting tentacle monsters, and then turned to pus by flies.
If this is the way of death, then Liu Chang would rather be eaten by the giant dog outside - at least it doesn't sound so disgusting!
So, he was faced with another multiple-choice question, a more difficult choice than the one he had just made to fight or flee - he was wondering whether to climb up and let the giant dog eat it, or wait here to turn into a puddle of pus.
He wanted to choose to climb up, but in the face of death, no one could be calm - not to mention that Liu Chang didn't want to die at all!
So, he looked at the halo above his head, then at the dark sewers, and again at the halo above his head...... In the end, it fell into a deep contradiction.
Facing the fear of death and the contradiction in choosing the way to die, this is perhaps the saddest human emotion, as if asking a condemned prisoner, "Do you want to be shot or beheaded?" β
Fear is invading, in the darkness, the sound of every drop of water can set off an uproar in Liu Chang's heart, and the violent barking of the canines above his head makes him even more dizzy.
He didn't even dare to go deep into the sewers to find another exit, because it was really dark, and the thick darkness that could obliterate people seemed to be the end of life, and there were countless tentacle monsters lurking in itβand there would be no way out if you entered.
Therefore, Liu Chang chose to cowardly grasp the glimmer of light above his head, snuggled under the halo, and like all people before death, he unconsciously fell into the memories of the past-
He suddenly remembered the college entrance examination, the senior year before the college entrance examination, and then his entire student and childhood.
Playing, playing games, reading novels, watching anime, and occasionally studying......
Fish-flavored shredded pork, basketball played, pipes played......
A safe and stable life, on the yellow net, and watching football late at night with friends......
The urging of parents, the smell of the house......
Liu Chang had never known so clearly at this moment - it turned out that he had been living in heaven before! Complaining about heaven in heaven, boring in heaven, and playing with self-pity in heaven and playing with the hypocrisy that is extremely disgusting when you think about it now......
I thought of quarreling with my parents because I didn't want to read, I thought of running away from home because I didn't want to read, and I thought of standing on the ancient city wall because I didn't want to read and sighing about the sadness of life......
"What's there, isn't it just to read more books?" Liu Chang curled up in the bright light, and cried for some reason.
He always thought that he was a very strong man, and in the end, he was stronger than most people. But in this darkness, when I think back to my life and parents, I still can't help but have a sour nose.
Time just got muddy in his chaotic thoughts......
I don't know how long it took, but he heard the barking of the dog above his head suddenly become violent, and at the same time a gunshot rang out outside the manhole cover.
"Liu Chang!!"
"Liu Chang~~~~~~~!!"
After the gunshot, Liu Chang heard a familiar voice, and the person got up from the state of confusion, looking at the round halo above his head in a daze.
"Saved?"
"Brother Liu Chang !!" Screaming was heard again, and this time he recognized the voiceβit was the little girl's.
The barking dog is no longer there, and the people he knows are on the other side of the light.
No longer hesitating, Liu Chang jumped up, grabbed the iron escalator under the manhole cover from below, and climbed from the dark world to the light step by step with the fastest speed.
Step by step......
"I'm !! here" As soon as his head came out and his body was still in the sewer, Liu Chang couldn't wait to shout around, "I'm here!! β
After climbing out of the manhole cover, someone had already followed the sound and touched it - the little girl, the fat man, and Li Qingshui.
Everybody's there.
"I'm not dead, haha, I'm not dead!" Rushing out of the manhole cover, Liu Chang trotted all the way, took the little girl into his arms and went around in a circle, shouting: "I'm not dead!" β
"Haha, not dead!" The little girl was also infected by Liu Chang's joy, and the anxiety on her face instantly turned into joy, and the innocent and cheerful smile on her face made the deep scar on her face turn into a deep curved arc.
"Dude, you're not dead, that's great." The fat man also came over and patted him on the shoulder twice, and then he glanced at it with small eyes, and actually noticed Liu Chang's red and swollen eyes, "Are you crying?" β
"Will Lao Tzu cry? Hahaha......" Liu Chang laughed: "It's that the inside of the sewer is too smelly, and this is for smoking." β
"You crawled out of the sewers?" Li Qingshui stood aside, took out alcohol and pills while thinking, and wondered: "You can get into the manhole cover during the giant dog fight, it's really powerful enough, I thought you were dead." But it shouldn't be......"
"Shouldn't it be?" Liu Chang took the alcohol and poured it on his wound.
"You shouldn't be dead!" Li Qingshui's words made Liu Chang's hand shake, and the alcohol was spilled crookedly, "What do you mean that you shouldn't be dead, you really want me to die!" β
"No, I've been there for an hour, and you're bleeding from your wounds and you're in a place like the sewer, so it stands to reason that you should be dead, right?" Li Qingshui rubbed his chin, "You don't die, it's not scientific!" β
"It doesn't matter if he's scientific or not, maybe it's luck, I survived anyway, didn't I?" Liu Chang danced with his hands, "I never felt that it was so fortunate to survive." β
"But it's still not scientific, no, I'll have to go down and take a look later." Li Qingshui said.
"Don't mind, don't die for a while, you jumped in and died, how wrong!" After cleaning his wounds, Liu Chang took the pills, and then stuffed the only remaining alcohol back into Li Qingshui's backpack, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you drive away that big dog?" β
"I used thirty catties of dog meat in exchange for six or seven soldiers with guns, and they had high-powered rifles in their hands, and they fired their guns to scare away the big dog just now."
"What about them?" Liu Chang looked around and didn't see anyone else.
"Go after that giant dog, in their opinion, that giant dog is a big piece of fat, hundreds of pounds of guys, and their entire company can't eat it all." Li Qingshui pointed in the direction of several people's pursuit, and added: "It's a pity that they can't catch up, and even if they can, it may not be useful." Although it is a high-powered rifle, but the physical strength of the few of them is too poor, and if the giant dog fights hard, I feel that those soldiers will die. β
"Damn, do you think the giant dog will kill a horse pistol?" Liu Chang wanted to pack up and leave as soon as he spoke, wanting to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
"No, the gunfire has scared it away, and you think the soldiers can outrun it? Don't worry, we'll wait a little longer, and they'll be back. β
While Li Qingshui was talking, Liu Chang heard the rustle of shoes stepping on the grass, and then, several soldiers with guns came out of the grass with a stupid face.
