Chapter 6: The Empty City
The moon sank and the east was white, and before I knew it, it was ten minutes of dawn, and Williamham's explanation ended with a piece of advice from the "Laws of Survival in the Waste Continent": make a choice and be responsible for the choice.
Williamham waved his hand and slowly ascended with the lifting platform.
A big man, wearing a security uniform, stood at the front and said to everyone: "You also roughly understand the current situation, three days of free activities, I hope you cherish it! Now, go back and rest, if you have any needs, you can use the temporary seal on your hand to connect the hotel's service button! Get up now, I want to clear the field!"
Everyone got up and left, still vague about the world, the existence of memories of their past lives, reminding them of their past failures, fresh places, fresh lifestyles, whether this group of people immersed in the past can wake up, is still unknown.
More often, they feel more like tourists, tourists who don't feel like they belong. The person is still the same person, the memory is still those memories, the soul is still the same soul, a new person, a new thing, which can impact, but may not be able to save.
Yansheng returned to the hotel, lay on his back on the bed, and finally, after the fatigue of his body had overcome his active soul, he fell into a deep sleep.
The sunlight shines through the window lattice, through the curtain, and shines on Yansheng's body.
When he opened his eyes, he didn't know what time it was sun, and he struggled with whether to get out of bed.
When he gets up, he can go out of the hotel to see the fresh world, breathe the fresh air, listen to the sadness of the world of birds, smell the beauty of the world of flowers, and choose to lie in bed, he will miss everything, and his mind will be occupied by memories, and then fall into all kinds of conjectures that are not there, commonly known as 'cranky thoughts'.
He thought that he was dead, at least he didn't have to face the failures of the past, who knows, the shadowy memories always reminded him: "Since there is no way to avoid it, then choose to face it! I want to see what the waste continent looks like?"
There was a knock at the door, and Yansheng thought: It's probably Xiaoduo girl!
When I opened the door, I was greeted by Roth's smiling face.
"Hey, man, are you ready?" asked Roth.
Yeonsheng was stunned and didn't come back to his senses.
Roth said, "Adventure, are you ready for adventure?"
Yeonsheng smiled, cleaned up, and walked out of the hotel with Roth.
Walk through the hallway, get off the elevator, walk out of the door, turn a few more corners, pass through a few doors, and walk out of the Adventurer's Guild.
"I'm grass, what's the situation?" the two looked at the empty street, stunned and didn't know what was going on, the lively scene last night was still vivid.
"Maybe it's too hot, it's noon, it's normal!" said Yansheng.
The two of them walked for another while, turned a corner, and saw three people coming towards them.
Before the two of them could speak, one of them was the first to say hello: "Hey, buddy, can you tell us where to eat or have fun?"
Roth said, "I'm sorry, big man, we only arrived yesterday, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer!"
The big man laughed and said, "I see, we only arrived yesterday!"
Yansheng looked at the three of them, one was of medium height, with a dark complexion, curly hair, and black and white eyes, one was thin and small, but all dark, most of them were from Africa, and there was a strong man who spoke, with a big bald head, and his skin was neither black nor white, but his eyes were a little scary.
Roth said, "Why don't you see a living person in this hellish place?"
The big one said: "There is no need to go ahead, there is no one, the whole street is empty!"
The medium-sized man added: "It's like a dead city, no one, and it's terrifyingly quiet, only the echo of you walking, in broad daylight, there is a feeling of numbness in the scalp and chill in the spine!"
The black guy said, "Like our African savannah, the calm before the beast riot is terrifying!"
Roth and Yeonsheng looked at each other, feeling like they had just fallen into the desert yesterday, confused, confused, and terrified.
The big one said: "Since they are all here together, let's take a stroll together, many people have more courage!"
Everyone nodded, thinking it was a good choice.
The big one is called Habo and is from Russia, the middle one is called Chi'an and is from India, and the small one is called Blackfire and is from Africa.
A group of five people, wandering the streets, through the streets and alleys, running through the corridors and houses, cautious at first, Nonovivi, afraid of what to be frightened, and then smiling, without scruples, from time to time to meet people, but without exception, are people who have just arrived in this world.
That is to say, except for the newcomers who came yesterday, I haven't seen any old people, why can't I let go of it for a long time.
The five of them continued to walk, their legs and feet numb, and after turning the streets of the castle buildings, a large field appeared, and the carriages were all on it.
Before they had time to think about it, everyone grabbed the carriage and began to continue shuttling.
"Whew!" Roth shouted, and drove the carriage aimlessly.
This throat is like catharsis, and it seems to cheer yourself up.
When everyone heard this, they drove one after another.
In a few moments, one, two, three, hundreds, thousands of carriages, mighty and mighty, filled the streets like a procession.
In addition to the horse-drawn carriage on the street, it is the carriage, and everyone puts aside those ideas that they have and does not have, and goes crazy without any scruples, people are not afraid of the hustle and bustle, but they are afraid of tranquility, especially the unknown tranquility. The madness at this time is just to hide the fear in my heart.
Yansheng set up the carriage and shouted wildly, he was aggrieved, he was uncomfortable, he needed to vent, he always hoped that he would go to a place that no one knew and start over, but he couldn't escape, he couldn't avoid the worldly laws of survival, in that world full of money, the incompetence of not making money made him feel like he was in a world of Ah Nose.
Maybe it's been suppressed for a long time, and only the crazy shouts of the people echo in the world, which can be heard everywhere:
"Depressed, dull, self-blame, entangled, suspicious, that cage world of money, to hell with it!"
"Waste, waste, I'm waste, I'm a waste!"
"Waste, waste, I'm waste, I'm a waste with no money and no power!"
"Fuck the Inger Mouse"
"Fuck Amerikan!"
"Fuck Fran go!"
"Fuck oh come hush!"
"Fuck Moni!"
"Fuck the ground!"
"Fuck the capitalist society!"
"Fuck the Socialist Society!"
"It's all a money society, don't think that the clothes you wear are different and block everyone's eyes!"
A bunch of garbage, in the quiet sunshine, screaming madly and angrily at the heavens, I don't know what it is to prove? Or, nothing to prove, just fucking want to scold and have a good time.
The madness continues, but there is no response, the waste under the sun, becomes the madman under the sun, at least, the madman is stronger than the waste!
Yansheng drove, wandering wildly, aimlessly, he wanted to shout, but what came to his mind was "At the beginning of man, nature is good!"
"The heavens will descend on the people!"
"Failure is success!"
All sorts of chicken soup phrases came to mind, and he shouted, "Fuck the chicken soup text!"
Chicken soup is good, but drinking too much will inevitably get fat, and even fat to the point of being unable to act, I prefer poison to chicken soup, because poison can give you a sense of urgency, poisoning has two ends, one is to find the antidote at the specified time, get reborn, and the other is completely liberated,
Yes, from now on, don't fucking drink those chicken soups, chicken soups offer a variety of options, and the soft voice will make you feel like the sky is wide and there is a way out.
"Waste needs poison because they lack a sense of urgency! I'm waste, yes, I need poison!"
The carriage slowed down, and Yansheng, who had been running wildly for a while, felt hot and thirsty, he parked the carriage on the side of the road, and approached a house, there was a faucet under the eaves, he unscrewed it, and didn't care about anything else, he drank it in a big gulp, and held the water in both hands, patted his cheeks, and felt that it was not enjoyable, so he put his head directly under the faucet!
"Cool!" Yansheng shouted at the sky, for the first time, another strange feeling, he couldn't say it.
The madness in the streets is still there, everyone feels like they are dominant, laughing, crying, making a fuss, arguing, hugging, scuffling, all sorts of things, inexhaustible.
The cacophony echoed through the air, as sharp as distorted speakers and microphones, and like fingernails cutting through glass, causing a palpitation that overshadowed all madness.
Everyone covered their ears and looked up, only to find that there were loudspeakers installed on the roof of each house, and at this time, there was a sound coming out of it.
"Welcome to all the new babies, you look really cute now, that's right, crazy, you are going crazy in the waste continent, but now, I think you should be hungry, you can spend dozens of minutes, set up a carriage, go to Xicheng District, there is the most famous snack street in Nirvana City - Devil's Muscle Street, the street has prepared food for everyone, please enjoy!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone was suspicious, but after a moment, they felt that this was a very fun thing, a bit like hide and seek.
Hide and seek, it's really a great game, he can always arouse your desire to seek, not to mention these people who are usually waste, it's rare to feel so crazy, unscrupulous liberating nature.
Struck while the iron was hot, they set up a carriage and headed for Xicheng.
"I'm being led by the nose again? No, I won't eat a meal, and I won't starve to death, so I'll bear with it first!" Yansheng drove the carriage and walked back leisurely to the Adventurer's Guild.
got out of the car, crossed a hundred meters, walked into the guild, or the three roads, the registration office, the consultation office, and the task collection office, this time, Yansheng walked the consultation office, he was secretly proud, and felt that this choice was correct.
A road, left around the right bend, not at all like the registration office, turn a few mouths to arrive, this information office seems to be relatively remote, quiet afternoon, hot sun, the three big characters of the street sign of the information office appear in front of you.
There are three places under the consultation office, namely "new arrival", "task interpretation consultation" and "veteran driver leading the way".
Yansheng chose 'Newcomer', a tree-lined path stretches out, and at the end is a small lake, on the edge of the small lake, or pavilions, or huts, or promenades, although it is not very eye-catching, but it can be regarded as pleasant.
When I came to the lake, I still didn't see anyone.
"Isn't it true that they don't go to work during the day?"
The three big characters of 'Information Office' appeared above a hut, a wooden door was closed, Yansheng approached, boldly pushed it open, his eyes widened, and the whole person stayed in place!
What did he see?
