Chapter 188: Hell (Part 1)

Overhead, in the gloomy, icy sun.

A spiraling of high-rise buildings stands silently in the midst of a desolate steel forest, and the central building, a landmark of the former world, has always been the city's skyline.

Even though the glass canopy has lost its former glory and become dilapidated and dark, it is still one of the few high-rise buildings still standing in this dilapidated and dead "Hell City".

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that before the steel beams were erected, the skyscraper's engineers drove 980 foundation piles with a depth of 86 meters, poured more than 60,000 cubic meters of concrete to reinforce them, and formed a 6-meter-thick foundation for the building's standing.

Higashinohara followed the investigation team to break through and escape from the community, and experienced the horror of the strange demons that had just come from all directions like a tide. When Myne proposed the relocation camp, they all raised their hands and feet in agreement.

Who knows if those demons have territorial awareness?

In case they broke through and escaped, the other party relentlessly caught up, and the fourteen members of the investigation team were injured and killed, and the remaining ten people could not be the opponents of these tireless and fearful alien demons.

So after about half an hour of migration, with the wounded and the supplies that had just been snatched, the people who dragged their tired bodies all the way through seven streets finally stopped at the foot of the Jianghai Center Building.

After looking back and finding that there were no strange demons chasing after them, several people collapsed on the spot, raised their hands and looked at the gray sky above their heads, and let out a cheer of joy in their hearts.

Moments later, Gray. Myne began to organize camping and food distribution.

Truth be told, not Gray. Mayne didn't want to make the camp a little farther away from that neighborhood.

It's just that the supplies they brought out after venturing out of the encirclement this time were only enough for two days, and today was the second day they had crossed the gate of the [Border], and there was still more than half of the time before they went back.

If it's too far away, it's hard to go back when there's a shortage of supplies, and camping here is a buffer against the worst-case scenario.

After settling in, Higashinohara sat in a makeshift camp at the foot of the Ekai Center Building, looking up at the landmark skyscraper he remembered in his previous life.

Suddenly, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.

Turning her head, Hela with light blue medium-long hair handed Higashinohara an energy bar.

Higashinohara said thank you, raised his hand to take the energy bar, and looked at the packaging to see that it was chocolate-flavored, and the most of the investigation team carried this flavor, and he closed his eyes and chewed a few bites.

Of course, the chocolate-flavored energy bar is different from the real chocolate, the advantage is that the sugar in the energy bar is composed of three kinds of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polymeric sugars, which can continue to release and replenish the energy consumed by exercise in the human body.

Hela, who was in charge of distributing the energy bars, sent it to Higashinohara, which happened to be the last one, and after sending it, he wiped the dusty roadside beside Higashinohara, pulled up the hem of the windbreaker and sat down, brushed the ends of the hair hanging down from his ears, and said to Higashinohara in a sincere tone:

"Xigong-kun, thank you so much just now."

Thanks?

Higashinohara, who was a little distracted, was stunned.

Then he suddenly reacted, remembering that when he broke through the downstairs of the Pujiang community before, in the chaos, he seemed to quickly go up and make up for it after Hela defeated a demon.

At that time, she still glanced at herself gratefully, but Higashinohara was busy walking around mending the knife, and if Hela hadn't said it, he would probably have forgotten about it.

But at this moment, Hela's solemn thanks made him look strange and felt a little embarrassed, after all, he mended the knife for a reason, but it was not a community that sent warmth for free.

You must know that the unknown particles collected have already decomposed 1.5 source power points, which is much faster than his own.

"Uh... You're welcome... Ahem. After reacting, Higashinohara coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

Turning his head, he noticed that Hela seemed to be sitting closer to him, and her eyes just caught a glimpse of her earlobes half-hidden behind her pale blue hair hanging down her ears, and quickly withdrew her gaze when she looked at it.

Hela didn't seem to be aware of it, sat next to Higashinohara and took a small bite of an energy bar, chewed it gently, turned her head to look around at the skyscrapers that were still standing tall under the wash of the torrent of long years, and said with some emotion in her tone:

"It's truly spectacular! Nishinomiya-kun, you say... Is this really hell? ”

Higashinohara was silent for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly laughed and replied, "Maybe, but the result of things is different from different angles, maybe in the eyes of those demons... The world we live in is 'hell'. ”

"The world we live in is hell?"

Hela seemed to hear this for the first time, and was stunned on the spot, and suddenly burst out laughing, squinting at Higashinohara and saying, "Nishinomiya-kun is really an interesting person. ”

In Wano Country, girls say funny to boys among their peers, which is basically a heartbeat signal.

However, the Hella in front of him is at least four or five years older than Higashinohara.

And if memory serves, Hela seems to introduce herself to the United States of Western Tagos, where men and women are more open-minded.

Higashinohara couldn't help but be relieved when he thought of this, "She's interesting to me", this kind of man's lowest mistake, he has always been insensitive to it.

After laughing twice on the side, Hela suddenly fell silent, staring at the dark corners hidden under the spectacular and desolate buildings around her, and said quietly, "Xigong-kun, we may die here, right?" ”

Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Hela Waner smiled and continued to ask, "I'm sorry that my mood is a little wrong, let's talk about something else, why did Nishinomiya-kun choose to come here." ”

"Probably... Let's get stronger. ”

Higashinohara hesitated, then replied in the affirmative.

He turned his head to look at Hela, who was dragging her chin in one hand and looking up at the gray sky above her head, and asked, "What about you?" Why are you here? You're the only girl on the investigation team. ”

"I..."

Hela pursed her lips and glanced at Higashinohara.

At this moment, a dozen lies flashed through her mind, and finally turned into a truth.

The truth deserves the truth.

"Because I want to be a useful person for the family."

Hela said earnestly.

Useful people for families?

Higashinohara silently chewed on the word "family", and although it was difficult to understand "what kind of family" would take such a risk, he still didn't ask anything.

There is a need for a sense of boundaries between people.

Many times, once a sense of boundaries is lost, friends can also become enemies.

Hela sat next to Higashinohara and finished eating the energy bar, then stood up and patted the dust on the windbreaker, and left here, smiling and clenching her fists as she left.

"Come on, Xigong-kun will definitely become stronger."

Higashinohara didn't know where Hela got his confidence in himself, so he could only smile and nod his head in thanks, and when he turned his head, he quietly took out the second half of Marpoli's diary, which was half torn by Zhang Tuzi, from the inner pocket of his windbreaker.

He clearly remembered that the last day of the first half of the diary was on May 22, 4596 AD, that is, the day when Marberry broke her husband's affair with Zhang Tuzi's woman.

But when he saw the second half of the diary, he thought he would see the diary on May 23.

In fact, the first day of the second half of the diary was indeed May 23 - but a full year had passed since the day before the first half of the diary!

On the first day of the second half of the diary, I came to 4597 A.D.

"May 23rd, cloudy, my head hurts... It hurts! Am I not dead? Why do you wake up? I heard that the dead will go to hell, but I am still in this world, is it because this world has become hell? ”

“......”
