Volume 1 Chapter 3 Prophecy of the Upper Three Districts: Earthquakes
Yun Mengying sat on the bed and looked at the direction she left, her heart beating wildly, and there was only one thought in her mind: her brother was waiting for her, and her brother came to find her.
Yun Lusheng, who was outside the ninth district, had been wandering around the old city for the past few days, and it was about to be June 6, and he was restless looking in the direction of the dungeon.
Since he came home three years ago and found that Yun Mengying was gone, he quarreled with his parents, and when he knew that she had been sold, he ran away from home and went to the ninth district to find someone.
The dungeon is impregnable, and he has been exploring for two years before he finally has a little hope.
Originally, he dug up a lot of ore to build an interstellar chariot and could exchange it for a lot of coins and buy a lot of food, and he even thought about taking his family out of the tenth district, but now most of it is used by him to find his sister.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let him meet a master to guide him and bring a message into the dungeon.
He couldn't enter the dungeon at all, so he could only hope for this accident and pray that the person could escape with Yun Mengying.
The closer the day gets, the more nervous he becomes......
With the news of Yun Lusheng, Yun Mengying's whole person has a head.
The next day, she met with Ran Ran, and Ran Ran subconsciously turned her face away and didn't dare to look at her.
It was a sign of guilt, and Yun Mengying had seen that look on her parents' faces.
She later remembered that when she was eating that dry cake, her parents whispered and didn't dare to look at her expression, probably very similar to Ran Ran now.
In the past few years, she has grown up a lot, and her mind has matured a little, and she knows when she looks at Ran Ran's evasive behavior: Ran Ran calculated her, but I am afraid that she is used as a condition for any transaction.
When I went to work, I heard a lot of gossip that the boy was dead, and she had killed him by mistake.
When she heard someone else talking secretly, Yun Mengying was so frightened that she let go of the mining brick in her hand and smashed one foot swollen, but she didn't dare to complain, moan, or make a noise.
With trembling hands, he limped to move the bricks.
Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.
Ran Ran and another boy planted all the blame on the dead boy in order to survive.
It's just that one person is dead, and the dungeon still needs to use them, so the living people are only punished and scolded, and they continue to be forced to do hard labor.
Yun Mengying didn't know where the boy's body went, but she heard that he was carried to the corpse pile at the gate, and the brains of the beating came out.
After knowing that the person was dead, she panicked for days.
She killed someone, a living person, even if it was a bad person, but it was a teenager about her age.
No matter how difficult it was in the homeless area, she never wanted to put people to death.
But in the dungeon, she actually killed someone by mistake in order to protect herself.
What would have happened if she hadn't resisted?
After killing someone by mistake, Yun Mengying had nightmares every night, and the dreams were all about the dark track, and there were people who intended to hurt her.
On several occasions, the older people in the dormitory were frightened by the sound of her nightmare screams, and beat and scolded her in the middle of the night, scarring her.
When no one mentioned this matter anymore, Yun Mengying could be regarded as getting better.
Dungeons are commonplace, and many people have become numb and look like the walking dead.
Yun Mengying looked at their faces with gloomy eyes, and every time she was scared and wanted to hide.
She is afraid of death, and she is also afraid that the life will be saved, and she will become numb like a walking corpse.
She used the food rations she had accumulated in exchange for news, making herself malnourished and stunted.
However, each time I was disappointed and got nothing.
No one knows what June 6 is.
She never saw the girl who sent her the message again.
Then one day, Yun Mengying saw that Ran Ran was called away by Mr. Zhou.
It's been three New Year's Day, and it's growing......
Yun Mengying didn't fall asleep all night, hiding in the quilt and shivering.
She knows very well what will happen to Ran Ran in the end, even if Ran Ran has hurt her, she is the only one who is willing to be her friend.
After waiting all night, Ran Ran did not go back.
By the time she was able to see Ran Ran again, it had already been a whole day.
Ran Ran washes her hands in the toilet.
I washed it over and over again, rubbing my hands repeatedly, as if I wanted to take off a layer of skin.
"Ran Ran......" Yun Mengying looked at her and wanted to cry but didn't dare to make a sound.
They were originally just refugees, even if they were garbage-like refugees, at least they were free on the outside, and even somewhat safe.
However, in this dungeon, they are just tools that can be used and discarded, and they can be manipulated with at will.
"Uh......h ......"Ran Ran didn't hold back and turned around and vomited.
"Ran Ran ......" Yun Mengying sobbed and cried, whispered the girl's name, and went over to pat her on the back to give her relief.
Ran Ran washed her face after vomiting, lowered her head and didn't look at her, and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
Yun Mengying knew why, and she also knew that there might be another time, but she softened when she looked at Ran Ran's pale appearance.
"Are you okay?" She went to pick up a glass of water and handed it to Ran Ran.
She wanted to say, "You're okay", but Ran Ran didn't look like she was okay at all.
She had seen the appearance of those girls after they came out of Mr. Zhou, and Ran Ran was afraid that she had also suffered a great sin.
"My parents don't want me for a long time, my mother ran into the civilian city to accompany the man in order to live, my father has dust and smoke disease, he doesn't even stutter, he even starved to death." Ran Ran opened the conversation, "I've heard people say that the life in Shangcheng is drunk, with bright dishes and chopsticks, as well as delicious food and wine, sleeping on a soft bed, and sweet air, I am not willing to be trapped here like this, do you understand?" ”
"Ranran, don't say it." Yun Mengying couldn't help crying when she heard her words.
"Don't cry, you know to cry, you don't want to run yet. You think I don't know where your lunch ration went? Look at how hungry you are? Whose teenage girl is as dry as you is like a cutting board, you also have two taels of meat on your face, just your small body, still run away, run a fart, run around? Ran Ran frowned when she heard her cry, and couldn't hold back her tirade.
She felt sorry for Yun Mengying, but that person was dead, and Yun Mengying was still willing to ignore her, so Ran Ran went down the steps.
"Run, I've eaten a little lately. Following the 96th, I looked at a lot of track charts, and then ran around, much faster than before. Yun Mengying was more honest when she talked to her.
"You're asking about June 6th?" Ran Ran looked at her face with a serious expression, and reached out to wipe her tears with disgust and rudeness.
Yun Mengying didn't speak, Ran Ran guessed that she still minded what she had done to her before, and pouted disdainfully: "Don't believe me, okay, I did something sorry for you, I was stupid, and I actually believed that bastard." You wait, I'll find out what's going on on this June 6th. ”
Ran Ran accepted his fate and sat on the ground against the wall.
Yun Mengying sat down next to her and whispered, "Ranran, don't do stupid things." ”
Ran Ran smiled, a small dimple appeared on her flat face, and the whole person was a lot gentler: "You are so timid, so cowardly, what can you do?" Can you run out like this? ”
"I don't know." Yun Mengying hugged her knees and curled up in a ball, her mind full of what the girl she didn't know told her.
On June 6th, see you or leave.
She hadn't told anyone her brother's name, she believed it was his brother who had sent her a message, and she had to run out that day.
She didn't want to stay in the dungeon to live such an inhuman life, she didn't want to be ruined, she didn't want to kill people.
She was afraid that she would be insensitive, that she would end up unrecognizable.
She just wanted to leave the dungeon and return to her brother, even if it was just wandering around the ruined city.
The only way to support her belief is to escape, live, and see Yun Lusheng.
Ran Ran sat for a long time and then left their place with heavy steps, and she was not there every night after that.
Working during the day, he disappeared at night, and he didn't say anything to Yun Mengying, and this kind of day lasted for a few days.
On June 3, Ran Ran returned to the room with a haggard look.
It was very late at night, and she sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.
Yun Mengying fell asleep and suddenly woke up, someone was staring at him, and he was so frightened that he quickly hugged the quilt and retreated.
Ran Ran then whispered "shh
Yun Mengying's fast-beating heart slowly calmed down, and she looked at her anxiously: "Ran Ran, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I can't die yet." Ran Ran smiled and pulled the corners of her mouth, Yun Mengying looked at her with a very terrible smile, a whole miserable face.
"That dead old man was stunned by me, and on June 6, it was said that there was a major earthquake in the upper third district, and the ninth district was within the center of the earthquake, and it was a perfect time to escape. I've also heard that the Civilian District Alliance doesn't know what's wrong, and the Ninth District won't be peaceful this month. As if she had hollowed herself out, Ran Ran fell on the bed.
Yun Mengying got up and covered her with a quilt, and then whispered into her ear: "Ranran, we will escape together." ”
In the early morning of June 6, the dungeon began to shake frequently.
Before dawn, the entire dungeon seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, constantly shaking, like a giant beast about to break out of its shell, full of terrifying atmosphere.
The guards of the dungeon were reduced one after another for the first two days.
No one told Yun Mengying that they should hide, and the workers in the dungeon were like ants to them, and no one cared.
Everyone was starting to get nervous, and now they were all trapped underground, panicking.
"What's going on?"
"Looks like somewhere in the dungeon is going to collapse."
"Really, how could a dungeon collapse?"
"Stop arguing, why are there so few guards outside?" The person in charge of the room went out to take a look.
After a short silence, the ground shook violently, and many people were really unstable and scattered around.
Outside, there was a sound of a house collapsing, and the room began to shake and fall from the earth.
"It's an earthquake, run."
