Day 6.

This time, Zhou Chu finally didn't get a good night's sleep, he was woken up by Hughes.

After Zhou Chu opened the door, Hughes's expression was serious.

"They're attacking." After saying this sentence, he briefly explained the current situation. The monsters wandering in the darkness began to come towards the cathedrals, hotels, and other strongholds, as if there were still living people in Zhilu Dao, they began to gather in twos and threes, and began to attack, and Hughes was attacked, so he rushed to wake Zhou Chu up.

"Check it out." Zhou Chu nodded, Hughes's expression showed that things were not optimistic, and the so-called three, three, two, and two, the number was definitely not so small.

When Zhou Chu arrived on the third floor, others also came from their respective rooms, and Jin Xuanzhu didn't seem to be sleeping, and Zhou Chu could see the bloodshot in her eyes.

wanted to say something, but Zhou Chu glanced at Jin Xuanzhu, still sighed in his heart, did not speak, but shifted his mind back and walked to the observation window on the third floor.

It's still so thick that you can't dissolve into the darkness that you can't see anything, but in the limited range of perception, you can still detect a lot of monsters.

Zhou Chu took a deep breath, took back his perception, and then said to the others.

"A lot."

Seeing the suspicious looks on everyone's faces, Zhou Chu didn't say anything, but took a cold light Zhao Ming stick from the side, broke it, and then opened the window and threw it down.

The incendiary rod glowed and quickly fell downward. Before being engulfed by the thick darkness, the faint light still shone on the very small part of the surroundings, and it was this extremely small piece of light that instantly reflected at least seven or eight monsters.

Zhou Chu still didn't speak, took another lighting rod, broke it, and this time, he threw it farther away.

Still falling with a faint light, still before the light fades. Illuminated seven or eight monsters. Just another seven or eight.

The third, fourth, and fifth, each of them falls in a different location, but each one falls where enough monsters can shine.

Then Zhou Chu turned his head expressionlessly. Look at the others.

"I know that the head of the road is right." Pierrot said heavily. Not paying any attention to the suspicion in his eyes just now, it was the most obvious. "What should I do?"

Others also set their eyes on Zhou Chu.

"Guard."

Zhou Chu only said this, and then looked at everyone: "Do you still want to go out?" ”

Everyone shook their heads together.

In fact, it can only be defended, and darkness is the biggest obstacle. It is also the best protection of the other party.

There were no extra words, and the others immediately dispersed, only Hughes stayed, looking at Zhou Chu with a worried face.

"I'm worried about ......"

"I'm worried, too." Zhou Chu said, "But there is no way, because of this sudden variable, I have a bad premonition, this is a battle that must be lost." ”

Hughes didn't speak, just looked out the window at the thick darkness.

The sudden variable that Zhou Chu said refers to the 'other self', there is such a variable that exists and appears, everything becomes confusing, and the darkness and this variable, if it is at a critical time, everything becomes so fragile.

This defensive battle in the dark is not as loud as the Resident Evil world, and it doesn't even look like a battle - in the face of impenetrable thick darkness, even if you have enough ammo to pour, you don't know if you hit the target, and even if you hit the target, you can't know what you killed, because these twisted monsters, even if they are hit and penetrated, they won't let out any screams to tell you.

So it was still a Silent Hill-style defensive battle, everyone was fighting, but the atmosphere was still oppressive, silent, and even silent, except for the occasional faint and barely audible gunshot or something else in the thick darkness.

But the battle has been going on, since the sixth day, there is no momentum, no surging tide, but like flowing water, subtle but never stopping, every moment there are more than a dozen twisted monsters attacking every church and stronghold, as well as the palm tree hotel where Zhou Chu and others are, and under the cover of darkness, the awakened can not really effectively and massively kill the twisted monsters, but can only passively guard, waiting for slow cannibalization.

Water drops and stones pierce, Zhou Chu knows this truth, no matter how strong the embankment is, it can't withstand the endless tide, not to mention, this embankment is very likely to be broken through from the inside.

But he could not express such concerns, for not only in the hotel, listening to Yoshiko's tone, but in other churches, including St. Peter's Church, a certain atmosphere of silence and oppression was slowly spreading, and more seriously, in this atmosphere there was a faint, faint, almost perceptible despair.

But with the attack of the monsters, the ghosts that appeared in the form of each awakened person's "other self" disappeared collectively, which made Zhou Chu more sure that there must be a connection between the two.

The atmosphere of oppressive silence accompanied the stalemate lasted from the sixth day to the eleventh day, and on the twelfth day, Hughes found Zhou Chu.

"The ammunition stock is only enough for us to use for about two more weeks, and the supplies will last for three weeks." Hughes said they were talking on the rooftop of the Palm Tree Hotel, the only place where they could get out there without worrying about the twisted monsters being able to attack.

"Isn't that still sufficient?" Zhou Chu was a little strange, and he didn't understand why Hughes's expression was so serious.

"That's not what I'm worried about." Hughes shook his head, "Honestly, how long do you think this stalemate will last?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Zhou Chu shook his head and immediately understood what Hughes meant.

Morale, mood, state, most of the awakened people have not been trained in psychological quality like Hughes, and there are not many perverts like Scarry and Fangzi, and they may not even be the same as the heartless thugs like Pierrot, so in such a long period of darkness, even if no one notices, morale, mood, state, and other things will slowly decline with the passage of time, not to mention that there is an 'alternate self' who doesn't know when the path will appear.

"I'll go out tomorrow and take a look." Zhou Chu looked at the darkness and said this, ignoring Hughes's surprise.

It should be out of Lu to take a look, although I don't know what Fang Zi is winning for, he can continue to wait and be patient, but from Zhou Chu's own point of view, he himself began to be a little unbearable such a stalemate, and the conversation with Xia Xiao that day made him think a lot.

If there is indeed self-consciousness in the nightmare space, then there is no doubt that every move it does has some meaning or purpose, and it is not simply to throw them into various worlds to survive and fight for their own amusement, otherwise, they only need to throw them into the Silent Hill, and then make an endless dark invasion, and let them never leave, then they can only wait here to die.

But obviously not, if it is not for fun, then for the purpose of the nightmare space, he needs them to finally have someone alive and able to get out of here, it may be one, it may be many, if it is such a purpose, then there is life.

And the so-called vitality lies in the opportunity to leave here, but now there is no opportunity and vitality in sight, so if the purpose of the nightmare space is not to kill them, then there is something unreasonable in it.

And how to find out if this is unreasonable?

Broken, then standing.

Since there is a deadlock now, only by moving can we break the deadlock and lead to new changes, and only with new changes can things not fall into such a bad situation.

Although it is also possible to let others go, Zhou Chu still wants to go out to investigate by himself, although there is danger, but in the same way, only by experiencing and discovering it himself, can he know the Tao and see more clearly, and other people's is always someone else's.

So, he wanted to go out and see.

And it did.

On the thirteenth day, Zhou Chu ignored the dissuasion of Jin Xuanzhu and Hughes, came to the top of the building, jumped down, and blended into the darkness.

At the moment of landing, Zhou Chu entered the initial form and instantly eliminated several monsters around him.

Strange and wonderful feeling, standing in the darkness, shaking off the blood stains on the demon's hand, after opening the perception, there is such a thought.

It felt as if he had infiltrated a city that was perpetually dark, inhabited not by humans, but by monsters, and who came uninvited like an uninvited guest.

But he was in the city, or rather, it was a human city. So this kind of feeling and wrong perception makes Zhou Chu have a subtle and indescribable feeling.

This is not my world, nor is it our world, he thought, suddenly a little nostalgic for the real world world where there was nothing.

Within a hundred meters, there was only a group of monsters, who did not seem to notice his landing, nor did they realize that he had killed several monsters, but still mechanically and numbly, in vain attacking the gate that had been fixed and sealed by thick steel plates.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Chu still gave up his plan to deal with this group of monsters in the past, this time, he was to investigate and trigger new changes, not to kill or solve the siege.

So in the thick darkness, he stood quietly for a while, and then quickly left.

There is only one destination for him.

Silent Hill Middle School.

Or, to put it more bluntly, he had only one purpose: he wanted to bring out that other self! (To be continued.) )
