Chapter 7: Open Space
At the beginning of the apocalypse, when ordinary bullets could still penetrate the heads of zombies, the striking power of the guns was still very good, so Song Nan had already thought of this condition as soon as his head turned. Although at her age, she shouldn't be able to shoot, but in the last three years of her life, she has really seen and touched any weapon.
And with a gun in hand, she can start that experiment again. Song Nan thought secretly.
Lin Zhan thought for a while, the big man had to carry Tang Shu on his back, and he had a combat strength, if he had to protect a little girl who was dragging his feet, it would obviously be too dangerous. Since she didn't want to leave on her own initiative, Lin Zhan agreed to this condition without hesitation, just waiting for dawn tomorrow, leaving Song Nan with a gun, and they retreated.
However, Lin Zhan still asked, "What else do you have to do here?" It's dangerous in school. "If you refuse to leave as soon as possible, your mystery has reappeared.
Song Nan had already reached the sentence on his lips, "Tomorrow the zombies will mutate and be poisonous, you'd better go today", and swallowed back silently.
This Lin Zhan is not thinking about it for a moment, it's really annoying!
Although the zombies will mutate tomorrow, but now that it is dark, there are many dangers lurking in the outside world, Song Nan is not sure, if they set off now, they can return to the stronghold safely.
Besides, how could she explain that she knew that the zombies would mutate tomorrow?
"I can't move my right arm, I don't want to face the danger directly until I recover, this food is enough for me to support for a few days, I need to recover."
Lin Zhan opened his mouth, but did not speak. He had already made the best suggestion, and without any more kindness, he would take a stranger who was no longer capable of fighting and could only drag his feet to escape. His most important task at the moment is just to take the captain away.
The big man didn't dare to come out in a breath, and he was sour on the side. It's all his fault, alas!
Song Nan curled up in silence on the sofa, closed her eyes and slept, no matter what they decided, she still slept on her own.
At dawn the next day, Song Nan saw them leave, they only took away a small half of the food and medicine, and left the rest to Song Nan. And the big man left Song Nan with a delicate pistol and a large number of bullets, for fear that Song Nan would not be enough, and patiently taught her how to use the gun for a long time.
Song Nan silently watched them leave, the big man carrying Tang Shu, and Lin Zhan carrying biscuits and medicines.
After a long while, Song Nan finally understood what she had been feeling weird just now, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Old treacherous and cunning!" ”
It's obviously an evaluation of Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan is a master of the space department, after the end of the world, anyone may wear some shabby or dirty clothes, only he will only wear new and clean clothes, the reason is that he has a lot of space and inventory. So when she saw Lin Zhan carrying something just now, her weird feeling really came naturally.
Facing a little girl who doesn't pose any threat (Song Nan, you're biased in your positioning!) Lin Zhan was also extremely careful, worthy of an old fox!
Song Nan cursed hatefully again: You deserve to find a wife!
As for why he couldn't find a wife with such a persistent curse, Song Nan thought about it, it seemed that he had spent more time with Jia Xiaohu in his previous life, he always said this, and she was used to hearing it.
The right shoulder is still numb and painful, but Song Nan has something important to do now: she wants to open the space!
Song Nan took a deep breath, took off the chain of the jade ring on his chest, and put it on the index finger of his right hand.
But how do you feel the space? Just by imagination?
Poor Song Nan has always been a diligent working girl before the end of the world, and she has never watched any novels and movies about the fantasy of the end times, and she is not a space powerhouse after the end of the world, so she has no clue at all now.
Song Nan closed his eyes tightly and tried hard to imagine the existence of a space, but the result was a natural failure.
"What are I going to do?" Song Nan raised his right hand and glared at the jade ring fiercely. "Is it to eat?"
Song Nan thought of an ancient episode with difficulty, martial arts movies when he was a child, weren't they all the protagonists who inadvertently ate some elixir, and then became martial arts! Could it be that she also has to eat this not small jade ring?
Song Nan took out the ring and compared it on the side of his mouth, the cold sweat was about to come down - this jade ring was actually only thinner than the jade wrench, if he wanted to eat it in his stomach, Song Nan felt that he would be choked to death first!
There is a saying that is called, dripping blood to recognize the Lord! Yes, blood! Song Nan's eyes lit up, and when he glanced at it, there happened to be a knife in the pen holder on the table, and he slashed without blinking his eyes, and blood instantly gushed out from his left index finger. Song Nan hurriedly dripped blood on the ring, one drop, two drops, three drops...
The milky white jade ring greedily absorbed all the blood droplets without missing anything, but the color remained milky white, except for the disappearance of the blood droplets, there was basically no change. Song Nan was surprised in her heart, held her breath, and resolutely continued to drip blood, she wanted to know how much blood this little jade ring could absorb.
But the small opening on the finger is not the Yellow River flood, and it only takes a minute for the blood at the wound to clot and no longer drip blood. Looking at the jade ring that had not changed, if it hadn't been for seeing it completely absorb the blood of his fingertips just now, Song Nan would definitely not believe that there was anything special about it!
One minute, two minutes, five minutes passed, Song Nan pinched the jade ring, stared at it directly, and wailed with a broken mind: "How to use this thing?" ”
"It's actually fake!" Song Nan smiled bitterly, she tried to imagine the existence of space, but found that it was useless. "I didn't expect to be killed by the ring, but I died in vain."
Pinching the jade ring, looking through a ray of sunlight exposed between the curtains, absorbing so much blood inexplicably, but still jade is clear, she doesn't understand jade, and she can't say whether it's good or bad, and sighed slightly.
Due to the problem of angle, the sun, the ring, and Song Nan's eyes happened to reach a straight line, and the sunlight, which was not very bright and dazzling, was refracted into Song Nan's eyes through the ring, and suddenly skyrocketed in brightness and dazzling, Song Nan was directly engulfed by the light without preparation, and the jade ring also disappeared without a trace.
Song Nan's eyes were stabbed by the sun, and he finally eased up, and when he opened his eyes, he was almost scared to death by everything in front of him-
The sun warmly shone on a large green meadow, and the greenery was churning and shining, more than many times more lovely than those black-green mutant plants after the end of the world. Turning around, there was a long mountain range, also covered in pure green, the nearest section of the mountain was a vertical and steep section of the mountain, from where she was about 100 meters away from the mountain wall, in the middle was the most bare clearing in the whole field of vision, only near the mountain wall there was a well, standing abruptly and lonely. Song Nan stood on a stone arch bridge, crossing a rushing river, from the distant mountains and carrying waterfalls, cheerfully and enthusiastically rushing away, disappearing into another distant mountain.
"Where is this?" Song Nan looked at all this in shock, wasn't she in the lounge just now? How did you suddenly run to such a place! Can she get out of here!
Just thinking about it, the scenery in front of Song Nan's eyes suddenly changed, and the whole person appeared in the dim lounge again, and she was still sitting on the bed.
"Huh?" Song Nan looked up in surprise, where did she see just now? She's not hallucinating!
Just as she was thinking, the scenery in front of her changed again, and she stood on the arched bridge again.
Song Nan was dumbfounded.
I pinched my face hard, and the pain was transmitted to the brain through the nerves very clearly, this is the real world?!
Song Nan thought silently, "Leave." She went back to the break room.
"Sure enough." Song Nan sat up straight and said silently again, "Go in." The man returned to the arched bridge.
In the previous life, although there were no spatial abilities in the Sycamore team, they had also "rented" other space abilities to carry out tasks together, so they still have a certain understanding of spatial abilities, and what they saw the most was that everything that their bodies could touch could be absorbed into a different dimensional space that only they could see, but they had never heard of a space that could collect living creatures, nor had they heard of a space that could allow him to enter it himself.
Of course, it is not excluded that there will be cases of deliberate concealment.
Song Nan thought about it for a while, and didn't plan to dwell on this issue, existence makes sense, the existence of her jade ring space is a special and mysterious thing in itself, and it's not bad if she can pretend to be a person! Song Nan has experienced a rebirth, and his acceptance of this kind of fantasy and mysterious thing has risen to a certain extent!
Holding on to the arch bridge, Song Nan can clearly see the bottom of the river, and the visual depth is enough to drown her three or four or five times, but there is no impurity pollution at all, countless fish and shrimp swim around freely, and the vision is full of vitality, which is the most unimaginable thing for Song Nan, who has struggled for three years in the last days.
"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and it turns out that it is not true." Song Nan muttered, but his eyes had already drifted away.
The smell of grass and blue waves on the tip of his nose, the slight feeling of the wind blowing through his skin, and the warmth of the sun, Song Nan squinted his eyes by the bright sunshine, and was infected by this leisurely shrinkage for a while, and the whole person relaxed.
In such a paradise place, she really didn't lose money when she died! Song Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, even though this was not a cute cold joke!
Song Nan turned around and walked towards the side of the mountain, the distance from the arch bridge to the steep mountain wall was not far, and a blurred black shadow at the foot of the mountain was found to be a cave when he got closer. The well was on the side of the cave entrance, and the distance was only four or five meters away, but Song Nan made up his mind to look at the cave first!
Walking to the entrance of this cave that was only one person high, Song Nan looked at the swarthy cave, and was in trouble for a while, to enter or not to enter? Is there any danger in this inexplicable space? Song Nan's eyes never left the cave, trying to think about what he was doing in this cave?
But a strange feeling in the dark came to her mind as she thought: "Storage warehouse, infinite size." ”
This kind of thought that suddenly appeared made Song Nan's whole person feel excited, why did she start to fantasize! But she was just thinking about what this cave was for, and how big it was!
So, is it...
Song Nan's eyes widened instantly: because she was thinking about the purpose of this cave, the idea of "storage warehouse" came to her mind; Because she wants to know how big the cave really is, does the idea of "infinite size" come up again?!
This space, can respond to her thoughts?!
The wind blew gently, but this time, no abrupt thoughts appeared in her mind. Song Nan's excitement cooled down slightly, and he took a long breath, and a glimmer of brilliance appeared in his big eyes, revealing the most vibrant expectation since his rebirth.
Song Nan shook her head, she had to think about it.
If it wasn't her own self-deception just now, that is to say, this naturally occurring idea is informing her about the situation of the space, but it does not have the function of "responding". Song Nan glanced around, and did not intend to use the cave to try again whether this view was correct or not.
That's right! Water well!
Song Nan's eyes lit up, and he carefully gathered all his attention to think: "What is the well for?" ”
"Purification, baptism." The idea that naturally emerged again made Song Nan's whole person happy and about to jump high! It's true! It's true! She didn't guess wrong! Song Nan showed an incredible smile on his face, shook his head again and again, and tried to think about the next question: "How big is the space?" ”
Song Nan almost held his breath this time, waiting for the thoughts in his mind to appear again!
"10,000 square meters." The idea that appeared without hesitation made Song Nan cheer, this space is amazing!
"Yes! Is it okay to just think about it?! Song Nan took a deep breath of fragrant air, closed her eyes, and suddenly a fleeting feeling slipped away, Song Nan frowned, what is this feeling, what did she miss?
She didn't know that in an instant, a glimmer of light flashed in her left eye.
Song Nan looked at the well, the function of the well is purification and baptism, that is, is there something similar to the effect of washing the essence and cutting the essence in ancient martial arts novels? It is obviously not a good idea to drink water in your hand, Song Nan silently said "leave" and flashed out of the space, took a water cup in the room, and then re-entered the space.
The edge of the well is not high, and the total height of the base stone platform and the edge of the well is only half a meter. The water in the well is very clear, and the depth is just over a meter. Song Nan filled a glass of water, snorted lightly, and drank it directly.
She has encountered such a mysterious thing as rebirth, if this jade ring is also going to kill her, she really doesn't know what the purpose of her rebirth is!
The water was clear and sweet, and it went down the throat directly into the abdomen, Song Nan only had time to think about it, the water was quite delicious, and the whole person fell to the ground and lay down on the stone platform.
The water surface of the purification well suddenly began to churn, and the water level continued to rise, gradually submerging the edge of the well, flowing out of the well, overflowing over the stone platform, and overflowing Song Nan's body.
The well water kept gushing out, constantly scrubbing Song Nan, and the well water that spilled down the stone platform did not spread to the land of the space at all, and was completely absorbed by the bottom of the stone platform.
And Song Nan has fallen into a deep sleep.
