Chapter 62: The Abandoned City
"What's going on in this world?" Chen Yu returned to the planet where the spirit sent a message again, this time the place where he came was a ruined city, different from before, the ruins he had visited before were caused by the local armed self when the spirit was chasing that person, the damage caused by the spirit was actually very small, at most it was to spread some negative energy, but if it wasn't too fragile in the heart, it would hardly be affected in any way. However, this time the ruined city is different, there is no trace of artillery fire, there is no breath of high-energy weapons, and there is no blow of compressed matter, why did this city become ruins?
"The footprints are still very new, they were left yesterday. Chen Yu found a small footprint, "But why is it barefoot?" Putting down the doubts in his heart, Chen Yu continued to move forward, this place feels like it has been abandoned, I don't know what the reason is, a city that can live nearly a million people has been abandoned like this, the most surprising thing for Chen Yu is that here, the spirit has not been here, and its forward route has deviated from here, even if it is evacuated because of panic, it can't be so clean.
'This world is different. Ina's voice echoed.
Chen Yu agreed.,I've had this feeling since the first time I came.,There's a strong sense of disobedience in this world.,Huge battle robots.,The half-orc Vika clan.,The city of the girl who signed a contract with the root and the banyan forest that discovered the consciousness of the world.,There's always an illusion of detachment from common sense.。 But what is the difference, but I can't say.
Let's take a look at it more. Chen Yu glanced at the uninhabited city, many public measures have been damaged because no one repairs, the good thing is that there is no place for human survival, green life is always very stubborn growing, from a distance, you can't find that this is an abandoned city at first glance.
The intricate roads, the high and low overpasses, the railroad tracks that go around the city, the subway that runs under the city, a clear river crosses, and there are more than a dozen parks of all sizes along the way, it seems that the original residents of this city are very kind.
Let's take a break here, there are not many places where buildings and encroaching plants are intertwined with each other, and there is a strong sense of disobedience, and when you sigh at the greatness and wonder of the power of nature, you can't help but start to appreciate the beauty of the world. "Click. ”
'You brought this with you?' Ina asked, referring to the camera in Tatsuyu's hand.
Well, after all, it's just memory, and some things will cease to exist when you come here again in a thousand years, so it's better to use them to record them all. The camera in Chen Yu's hand is the top item he spent a lot of money on. Even if the SLR is ruined for three years, it is not a problem for Chen Yu to regret his life in photography.
'Will you use it?'
I talked to the college students, and they were more proficient in these things than I was, but they could only shoot material things, and the rest of them were useless. ’
You can revamp it and make it more functional. ’
'How?'
Try reading the Book of Wisdom. ’
Chen Yu would never have thought that there was such a thing as a record in the Book of Wisdom.
As the night progressed, the last of the dusk dissipated, and when Chen Yu felt that it was time to go back, the light on aroused his alarm.
"Lights?"
'What's wrong with the lights?' Ina asked.
I passed through a ruined city, and there were still people living in that city, but there were no such bright lights. A bright street lamp on Chen Yu's head, followed by like an omen, the lights of several buildings spread like sparks, quickly lit up, and the whole night was like day. No, there's something in this kind of city that we don't perceive. ’
No life escapes our perception. Ina's tone was somewhat unmistakable.
"I know, what if it's a lifeless thing?" Chen Yu's eyes fell on the street entrance in the distance, a large black shadow squirmed towards this side, look carefully, they are people, they are not, they appear in a crippled posture, zombies! Just like the zombies in the movie, they have already lost their lives, controlled by biological instincts, but they are not dead, between life and death, according to Chen Yu's words when he was a child, transcend the six realms, no longer reincarnated, that is, zombies! Zombies can also become zombies!
'What a strange thing. Ina also had to sigh at the wonder of life.
A large number of zombies were approaching, but Chen Yu said that he was not in a hurry, because he was very interested, since they could move, why didn't they come out during the day? Is it because they couldn't see the light? Soon, a shocking fact appeared in front of his eyes. A young man at the front looked a little emaciated, his body had lost most of his brain, the wound had long since scabbed, but it had not recovered, and his eyes were not the bloodthirsty impulsive instinct, but the unexpected clarity.
"Hello, sir, are you resting here?" Chen Yu's mind paused for a moment, what? Say hello at the first sentence when you come up? Shouldn't your character be like this? What about instinctive hunting? What about crazy impulses? Chen Yu has long been in contact with the world consciousness, and it is still very simple to understand their words, but this is a little frightening to the world. Well, let's call the person in front of me brainless.
"Wait, my mind is a little messy, let me brush it up. ”
"Ah, it's so good, I have a sound brain to think, I'm so envious. "I don't have a mind and I say enviously.
Are you sure you don't want to eat my brain?Chen Yu Judging from the exchange, these zombies have their own thinking, just like zombies with human nature.
"I'm passing by here and resting here. Chen Yu finally held back a word of hello. At this time, the zombies had already surrounded them.
"Wow, no one has been passing by here for a long time now. People say it's a forbidden place and it's surrounded by energy nets, how did you get in?"
Can I say it's from another world?" Chen Yu smiled, "There is no impermeable wall, as long as it is a net, there will always be a hole." ”
"Funny Mr. Human. "I don't have a mind and don't care about anything," Welcome to the City of the Dead, some of the residents here were resurrected by experiments after death, some were infected by the crazy us, and then cured zombies, but after being cured, for many reasons, we were not accepted by the world, so we chose to live here quietly and wait for the day when the world accepted us, or, the day that we could end. ”
"Hey, don't talk so much, you're not good or evil in this person. "Surrounded by a fat man in a wheelchair, he lost the lower half of his body, his body was extremely bloated and abnormal, it is not strange to say that he is disgusting. With a straight face, he was wary of Chenyu. Well, let's make him unhappy. Chen Yu said silently in his heart.
"Don't be like this, it's rare that we have someone here who is alive and willing to talk to us. It doesn't matter. Mindless comforted.
"Hmph, don't forget how we got to be like this!"
"Eh~ there is some truth in what he said. "Chen Yu thinks it's better to make peace as soon as possible. "Let me introduce myself, Chen Yu, the Chen of the stars, the Yu of the universe, is a wanderer who travels the world. ”
"Traveler!" Chen Yu's words caused a lot of fluctuations in the zombie group, and they all talked about it.
"Sir, sir!" a small head squeezed out from under the legs of the crowd, and a little child with no half of his body struggling to lean on a cane, approached Chen Yu, his eyes were slowly excited, let's call him a little clever. "Sir, you said you were a traveler, so you must have been to many places. ”
"Of course," Chen Yu stretched out his hand to try to hold the child, and the little ghost clearly dodged backwards. At the same time, a hand pushed behind the back of the little ghost, and the owner of that hand, the head was a woman with a few strands of hair, but the chin and chest were almost eaten off, so he couldn't speak, it seemed that it should be the mother of the little ghost.
The little ghost was hugged by Chen Yu on his lap.
"Sir, aren't you afraid of me?"
A little timid appearance made Chen Yu laugh, "As long as you don't bite my neck suddenly." ”
"Of course not!" the little ghost promised, but then bowed his head, "Definitely not before dawn, we only go crazy at dawn, so we all lock ourselves in the building and avoid the light." ”
Chen Yu knew the reason why there was no one during the day, "Then what do you want to do?
Little Clever shook his head, "Sir, we've been cut off from the outside world for a long time, and we don't know anything, can you tell us about it?"
The zombies around him flickered with the same gaze as the little ghost now. "Well, that's a long, long story, would you like to hear me tell the story?"
He nodded neatly.
Chen Yu smiled, "Then let's start with the first city I started traveling, it's a world that's still developing..."
Where there is no light, there is darkness, and in the abandoned city under the night, the people who have been abandoned by the world, in the dim light, quietly listen to the story told by a man who does not fit, and their eyes are full of helplessness to yearn for the light.
