Chapter 68: The Man Without a Shadow
Xiao Yan looked at the world around her, and the world inside the wooden door was very different from the aura on the outside.
There is no doomsday of destruction, there is no scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, everything in front of me is calm.
The willows on both sides of the river, which have changed from tender green to dark green, are reflected on the surface of the river with the soft branches of the new ones, making the river water also dyed green, as if it is like a river of jade flowing eastward.
The drizzle was quietly moistened, the breeze blew gently, and the brown buds, in just a moment, turned into tall and tender plants.
Not far away, a sea-like yellow sand clings to the river, and there is nothing abnormal or dangerous in the sand, but it gives people a sense of vastness.
The vast loess sand shuo clings to the green and cold river, with the yellow sand on one side and the spring water on the other, and the two seemingly unrelated worlds are spliced together.
The left is yellow and the right is green, and the yellow sand and the river are separated in this way, which is very strange.
Lin Yetian in front of him suddenly remembered something, looked at the empty surroundings except for the two of them, and said with some doubts:
"Hey, where are Gu Baicheng and Xiaoqian?"
"I don't call me to feed, I have a name, do you people in Sandu Ancient Land have this problem?"
Lin Yetian scratched his head, and he suddenly missed Zhao Yuxi a little.
“...... Night, where did Gu Baicheng and Xiaoqian go? ”
Xiao Yan said with a glare.
"Gu Baicheng doesn't know, Xiaoqian, she ...... Didn't keep up. ”
Lin Yetian looked a little depressed.
"Didn't keep up?"
Xiaoyan repeated it, but didn't react for a while.
"It's just that she doesn't want us anymore and goes to play with Chen Guran. ”
"How so?!"
Xiao Yan said in disbelief that it was basically impossible for her to believe that Xiao Qian would be willing to leave Lin Yetian behind and find Chen Guran.
is also a woman, she can see that Xiaoqian has always had a good impression of Lin Yetian, and this good impression is definitely much more than that of her childhood sweetheart Chen Guran.
"I don't know what's going on, I was about to bring her in, but she pushed me away at the end. ”
Lin Yetian looked sullen.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and after being silent for a long time, she slowly spoke:
"Did she tell you anything before this, Xiaoqian?"
"She seemed to be sick and said she would come back to me if she recovered. ”
Rehabilitation?
Xiao Yan suddenly remembered what Chen Guran said, and he entered the white wooden door when he was dying, thus successfully recovering himself completely.
Could it be that Xiao Qian also went in with this idea?
So what happened to her?
Reminiscent of the scene where Xiao Qian chose a person behind the palace when she chased after Huangsha Pill Hill before, her look of determination to die was obviously aware of something wrong at that time.
Suddenly, a creepy conjecture suddenly rose in Xiao Yan's heart!
Something about that vanishing shadow!
Sighing softly, Xiaoyan looked a little embarrassed.
"Do you know something?"
Lin Yetian looked at Xiao Yan's embarrassed face and wondered.
Xiao Yan didn't just answer, but was silent for a while before she slowly spoke:
"Do you know that besides the Yaki Great Snake and the Yellow Sand Pill Hill, there is any other horror that can compare with them?"
"Are there any other horrors?" Lin Yetian said in some surprise.
"Didn't you tell you that there are three horrors in this world?" Xiao Yan rubbed her temples slightly helplessly.
"Isn't it common sense that there are actually only two of the three great horrors? It's like the Four Heavenly Kings are actually one person, and the Big Dipper actually has only five stars. Lin Yetian was a little puzzled.
“...... What kind of common sense is this, hey!"
"You look so good when you complain!"
I don't know if it was because Lin Yetian's words calmed Xiaoyan's mood, Xiaoyan silently took a deep breath and said slowly:
"It's not wrong to say that, because this last horror is not a living thing, it's just a phenomenon, unlike the other two. ”
"That Yellow Sand Crane doesn't look like a creature no matter how you look at it!"
"It seems to be the same...... That's not the point!"
Xiaoyan calmed down again, she always felt that the longer she spent with Lin Yetian, the easier it seemed for her to become "lively".
The scientific name for this phenomenon is: the shadowless man. ”
"It was also discovered and proposed by the professor who escaped from the hands of Huangsha Maruqiu.
"Who?"
Ignoring Lin Yetian's interruption, Xiaoyan continued:
According to the professor's account, the first time it was discovered was after the end of the world. ”
"In a well-run Doomsday Fortress somewhere, they have enough water and energy, and they have enough food and electricity reserves. ”
"The leader team of the fortress will regularly inject various antiviral vaccines to the residents inside, plus there will be various mandatory exercise requirements in the fortress, so no one in that fortress will get sick a few steps. ”
"Although the life of the people in it is relatively depressing, in this world, it is a rare thing to survive, so almost no one complains, and life is orderly every day. ”
"Until one day, when the military police of the fortress were investigating, they found a strange person. ”
"This person is a middle-aged man between forty and fifty-five years old, with a big belly, usually greedy for money and lustful, but he has no bad habits, and he is quite an ordinary person. ”
"At the beginning, the gendarmes who investigated him did not find anything unusual after checking his body index, and this person was quite healthy, and all indicators were very standard. ”
"Then, as the gendarmes were about to leave, one of the gendarmes noticed a strange scene, and the person in front of him ......"
"There is no shadow. ”
"Are you sure you didn't turn on the lights?" Lin Yetian replied.
Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Yetian and continued:
At first, the gendarme thought it was a problem with the light and didn't pay much attention to it, but his actions eventually led to irreparable consequences. ”
A few days later, there were a few more people in that Doomsday Fortress without a shadow, and over time, the number of people without shadows increased exponentially. ”
"At first, except for the children who howled and cried because they couldn't play the game of stepping on the shadows, almost no adults paid attention to this strange thing, and they had to think about firewood, rice, oil and salt. ”
"Later, when the military top brass reacted, it was too late, and the people in the entire Doomsday Fortress had become shadowless people"
"People have gone from being apprehensive at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it, and no one is thinking about how to solve this problem, in fact, because they are helpless. ”
"Finally one day, the nightmare came. ”
"One after another, people throughout the fortress have mutated and become an unspeakable horror creature. ”
The following are the original words of the professor's account: "
"They were transformed into nightmarish black bodies, amorphous bodies that stenched and squirmed forward, flowing with amorphous protoplasmic buocysts that shimmered faintly. 」
"Tens of thousands of pus-like eyes that emit green light are constantly forming and decomposing on its surface. The body that filled the tunnel swooped down on us, crushing all the people fleeing in panic. 」
"After 'cleaning' their former kind to no speck of dust, they snaked their way across the shiny and reflective ground. 」
"They stand on limbs that have not yet evolved into mammals, and walk lightly and sinkingly. The colorful, hairless bodies flexed briskly, hissing loudly and regularly as they walked back and forth. 」
"The whole fortress has become a real doomsday. 」
Xiao Yan paused, then continued:
"In order to prevent further attacks, a total of five fortresses have sent troops to help. ”
"The battle was won easily, and in fact, I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Doomsday Warriors is actually far beyond ordinary people. ”
"It's just that they're human after all. ”
"The warriors of the five fortresses, after destroying these monsters, unfortunately became infected themselves. ”
"Even though they have done the ultimate protection that humans can do, even if they are careful enough, they are still infected. ”
In this way, five fortresses were destroyed. ”
"It's just because there are people who don't have a shadow. ”
The rest of the fortresses did not dare to go to the rescue, but joined forces to seal off the five infected fortresses, leaving the monsters inside to fend for themselves. ”
"Some people have also said that they can't bear to see the family members inside turn into monsters one by one and want to enter, but they are strictly forbidden by the fortress to which they belong. ”
"After all, no one dares to take this risk, no one has the courage to face this kind of fear that is completely defenseless, impossible to resist, and even unclear how it is contagious. ”
"No one has been in this situation for a long time, and people have gradually let their guard down. ”
"...... to this day"
Xiao Yan suddenly thought of Xiao Qian's warm and jade-like face.
